Sign-in life from the county magistrate

Page 49

"Slow down!" At this moment, Shen Yu, who came from outside, grabbed the board in the hands of the yamen servant, no matter how hard the other party tried, it was difficult to move it!

"Who are you to disturb the court? Do you know what crime it is?"

"Disturbing the court?" With a slight smile, Shen Yu glanced at the other party with disdain, and said lightly, "I'm the new magistrate of Songnan Prefecture, why do you want to disturb the court!"

"Presumptuous, I am the magistrate of Songnan Mansion, who are you, pretending to be an official of the imperial court!"

"Pretending?" Taking out the official document from his bosom, Shen Yu directly threw it over, "Lord Zhuo, look at it yourself, this is an official document from the imperial court. From today onwards, I will be transferred to be the prefect of Songnan Prefecture, and be in charge of the affairs of Songnan Prefecture! "

"This, this, turned out to be true?" Holding the official document in front of him, Zhuo Yutang couldn't believe it. He had never been notified that someone would replace him.Why did someone suddenly stand up and say that he was replaced?

"What about this official, how did the court arrange this official?"

"Oh, I almost forgot what Master Zhuo said!" I took out another document from my pocket and threw it over. "This is the imperial court's document to dismiss you, and I will give it to Master Zhuo. From today From the beginning, Master Zhuo is white!"

"Bai, white body? This is impossible!"

Chapter 119

"I was actually dismissed from office!"

Holding the document in his hand, Zhuo Yutang's whole body trembled, as if he couldn't recover from the accident in front of him.All kinds of past events flooded into his heart, which made him feel sad for a while.

"Thinking that I, Zhuo Yutang, have been an official for dozens of years, and I have always kept myself clean. Even if I don't have credit, I have to work hard. How could the court..."

"Hmph, hard work? You're too embarrassed!" Slowly walking forward, Shen Yu pulled him off the front seat in the hall, and sat on it generously.For the former magistrate, he owes him no good face.

"Lord Zhuo, I haven't seen your hard work, but I have seen the ability of Master Zhuo to open his eyes and tell lies! Just now, Master Zhuo tried the case, and I saw it clearly. It's amazing. Open your eyes!"

"You!" Being ridiculed by a young man like that, coupled with the double blow of being dismissed from office, Zhuo Yutang's fingers gripping the document turned white.A wave of anger filled his chest, but there was nowhere to vent it.

"By the way, the Governor asked me to give Master Zhuo a message. He said, let you go back to your hometown to farm, the court will not support such a waste like you!"

"I originally thought that the Governor's words were a bit serious. It is said that at least you, Mr. Zhuo, are not greedy or possessive, so you won't end up with such an evaluation. Now it seems that not being greedy does not mean that you are competent. On the contrary, this official thinks that the Governor's words It's lighter."

"You are not trash, you are even worse than trash!"

"You, you!" Shen Yu slapped his face so unceremoniously, which made Zhuo Yutang so angry that he couldn't speak, and there were thousands of words in his heart, but he still didn't say it in the end.

Especially now that he is no longer the magistrate, but a white body, and he no longer has any rights to speak of.Now he doesn't even have the courage to refute.

"What are you, go away, you are no longer the magistrate of Songnan Prefecture, the official has the final say here!"

"Crack!" After slapping the gavel, Shen Yu shouted directly, "The case just now doesn't count, and now I'm going to try it again!"

"He Xiucai, do you have the reputation of a scholar?"

"Yes, the student is not talented, but the scholar who passed the exam the year before last!"

"En!" After nodding his head, Shen Yu looked at Gu Mao next to him, "What about you, you also have fame?"

"Here, I'm working hard, it will be ready soon..."

"Then it's gone?" Seeing the other party's hesitation, Shen Yu snorted directly, and then asked lightly, "Then do you have a title?"

"me……"

"That's it too!" There was a sneer on his face, and Shen Yu stared straight at the other party, with a little mockery and disdain in his eyes.

"Then the official is strange. You have no fame, no title, and no status. Why can you stand in the hall openly? Why don't you kneel when you are a white man in the court?"

"I am the Gu family, and my cousin is the servant of the official department!"

"I'm asking you, not your cousin!" Once again, Shen Yu slapped the gavel, and Shen Yu's momentum changed obviously, and he said coldly, "Bold Gu Mao, how dare you not kneel down in court, what are you doing?" Openly despise the court, despise the court. Come here, first give this official [-] boards, so as to make a warning to others!"

But after Shen Yu's words fell, none of the yamen servants dared to step forward. Obviously, the prestige of the Gu family was feared not only by Zhuo Yutang, the former magistrate, but also by those yamen servants.

Facing a family like the Gu family, what do they think.If they did something today, they might have the Gu family retaliate before nightfall.The means of these people, these government servants are very clear.

"A bunch of trash!" His eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect that even a yamen servant didn't dare to carry out his order.It's really a raging nest, what kind of officials bring out what kind of subordinates, the entire Yamen of Songnan Prefecture is abolished.

"My lord, I'm coming!" Snatching the stick from the yamen servant's hand, He Yinshan kicked him to the ground with one kick, and swung the stick in his hand straight up.

"You, you dare to hit me?"

"It was you who hit!"

"Ah, ah!" Immediately afterwards, screams spread farther and farther away, making all the people discuss after seeing this scene.What kind of family is the Gu family? It also exists sideways in Songnan Mansion. The Gu family has never been in such a mess.

The miserably beaten Gu Mao in front of him has committed countless crimes on weekdays, making many people gnash their teeth but there is nothing they can do.Even if it is a high-ranking official, it is himself who suffers in the end.

But now it seems that this new prefect seems to be different from the previous ones.

"Ah, ah, don't hit me, don't hit me! You are presumptuous, I am from the Gu family, and my cousin is the servant of the imperial court. You are a little magistrate, you are like a dog, how dare you hit me?"

"Wait! I didn't hear what you just said clearly?" Wei Wei raised her head, the murderous intent flashed in her eyes, Shen Yu turned sideways and asked, "You dare to call the court order a dog, who gave you the courage? !"

"Yin Shan, give me a heavy blow. Insult the imperial court officials, despise the imperial court's laws, and give me another [-] blows!"

"Yes, my lord!" The stick in his hand fell heavily again, and a master like He Yinshan would do it himself, and he wouldn't have to wait to deal with He Xiucai's case after the [-]th board. It is estimated that Gu Mao would still be able to catch his breath afterwards.

"Ah, ah, my lord, don't hit me, I was wrong, ah..." A shrill scream came from here, and He Yinshan didn't hold back at all when dealing with such a person.

A master in the Grand Master Realm, even with light strength, is far superior to ordinary people, not to mention that He Yinshan secretly brought some private goods.The first [-] strikes had almost killed half of Gu Mao's life, and the next [-] strikes hadn't hit half of it yet, and the person under the stick had no reaction.

"Dead?" After poking his hand a little, He Yinshan stood up and said to Shen Yu, "My lord, this person has never been beaten. He died before he finished beating this board!"

"Master Shen, this, you, alas!" Seeing this scene, Zhuo Yutang sighed, and said helplessly, "Master Shen, do you know who he is, but the Gu family has a minister of officials!"

"I heard it, but so what? Can the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials ignore the law and despise the court? What about the Gu family, they are the ones who beat the Gu family!"

"Okay, good fight!" He kicked twice, and then knelt down with a thud, "My lord, you are the real Qingtian. Today, my lord avenged the students. From now on, my life, He Zhongquan, will be yours, my lord! "

"I'm not avenging anyone, but acting in accordance with the law. I want to tell everyone that since I've become the prefect of Songnan Prefecture, no one who disregards the laws of the country is allowed here!"

"My lord!" He Yinshan asked after kicking Gu Mao, who had long been out of breath, "Then what about this kid?"

"Drag it out and let me hang it outside the government office, and tell the people in the city. From today on, anyone who dares to bully the people will be punished!"

"Master Shen wants to use the Gu family to gain prestige, has Master Shen ever thought about the consequences?" Zhuo Yutang almost snapped his beard when he understood Shen Yu's thoughts.

Is the young man now so handsome? He is a member of the servant of the official department.Where is the official department, it can teach you how to be a man every minute!

"Master Zhuo, this is not something you should worry about. Please pack up your things, Mr. Zhuo, and get out of Songnan Mansion!"

1 Chapter [-] The Rules Have Changed

"Lord Zhuo!"

Zhuo Yutang had stayed in Songnan Mansion for nearly ten years, and when he was about to leave, someone from the government office still came to see him off.This scene also fell in Shen Yu's eyes, and it could be seen that these people seemed to be very reluctant to part with Zhuo Yutang.

After learning that Zhuo Yutang was dismissed, all the people in Songnan Mansion are now cheering, with the exception of these few people.

Ordinarily, Zhuo Yutang was poor and destitute, not to mention that there was no benefit to following him, and he was quite angry.Such a person, how can anyone feel sorry for him?

When Shen Yu suddenly appeared, these people lowered their heads, no one knew the attitude of the new magistrate.If there is a grudge, they will be finished.

"Are you sending Master Zhuo?"

"Yes!" Several people did not hide anything, but directly nodded and admitted, and one of them blurted out after a little hesitation, "My lord, in fact, Master Zhuo is a good official!"

"Good official?" Brother, do you misunderstand this word? People like this are good officials, so there will be no such thing as a good official in this world.

"There are some things that adults don't know, and neither do the common people. In fact, Mr. Zhuo has been living in a poor way all these years, and even his clothes are torn. All his salary is used to help those who are persecuted."

"Having been an official for decades, but without a fortune, this is Mr. Zhuo!"

"Really!" Such an answer did not shock Shen Yu too much, he had been secretly observing Zhuo Yutang the whole time he left, and this Lord Zhuo was indeed not greedy or possessive, and willing to be poor, as said in the secret report.

The sum of all his luggage is nothing more than some old clothes, some calligraphy and painting books, but there is no gold, silver or jewelry.

It's really hard to imagine that such an official would be a mediocre person, and his departure even made the people of Songnan Mansion cheer.Doing this as an official is undoubtedly a failure.

No matter what, at any rate, he is also the former magistrate, so it's good to give him a ride!

"Master Shen can come to see me off, I'm very surprised!" When he saw Shen Yu walking over, Xu let go of the entanglement in his heart. At this time, Zhuo Yutang didn't feel annoyed at all, but was calm.

"Master Zhuo has also been the magistrate of Songnan Mansion for so many years, so it is only right for me to come and see you off. However, I still say that, Master Zhuo, you are not a good official. But I have to admit that you are a good official." honest and upright official!"

"I would also like to thank Master Shen for the compliment, but there are some things you don't know. The water in Songnan Mansion is deeper than you imagined!"

Seeing Master Shen, Zhuo Yutang seemed to see himself back then.Passionate, full of sense of justice, wholeheartedly wanting to plead for the lives of the people, but ideas are ideas after all, reality will blow all ideas to pieces.

If this is a world of low martial arts and personal military power is not that strong, as a magistrate, he can still show his ambitions with the authority of the court.However, this is a world of high martial arts, and there are not many masters who can defeat a hundred with one.

These people in Songnan Mansion not only have the status of dignitaries, but also have absolute force.The combination of the two makes it far more terrifying than anyone can beat.

I am a frail scholar, like a three-year-old child in front of them, I can only be manipulated by others.The sharpness of the past has also been thoroughly polished to a smoothness in each blow.By now, it has become that I don't even know myself.

Forget it, what's the point of being an official like this?It is a good thing for me to be free now.

"Lord Zhuo, I am very surprised that you can abide by yourself, but since you are not in the same boat, why do you still bow your head to those people. Do you know that when they heard that you were replaced, the people of the entire Songnan Mansion cheered! "

"I know, I know all of this!" With a slight sigh, Zhuo Yutang raised his head slightly, and looked at the bustling market not far away, with complicated and inexplicable expressions in his eyes.

"But why did I ever want to be like this? These people in Songnan Mansion can be provoked by me, a powerless person. I also wanted to plead for the people and make decisions for the people. I also wanted to be proud , not afraid of the rich and powerful, but reality does not allow it.”

Stimulated by Shen Yu, Zhuo Yutang finally confided his heart.Over the years, some words have been held in his heart for a long time, so long that he doesn't know who to say to and what to say.

"Master Shen, do you know. Over the years, I have tried my best to keep myself out of the crowd. Do you know how many temptations are placed in front of me every day? Gold and silver jewelry, famous calligraphy and paintings, stunning beauties, what are you doing?" One is not mouth watering!"

"Faced with these temptations, what else can I do. Only by immersing myself in dancing and writing every day can I barely wake myself up and prevent myself from being completely corrupted."

"As for pleading for the people? Heh!" With a sneer, Zhuo Yutang's face was full of sarcasm at the moment, as if he was mocking himself for being so useless all these years.

"At the very beginning, I was like Mr. Shen. But do you know how arrogant they are? They can get people out at night after I finish my trial in the morning, and all the accusers will be purged!"

"And those who were thrown out changed their appearances within two days, wandered on the streets with different names, continued to bully the people, and continued to act as domineering. These people also told me that they were just brothers, not the same person, they Do you think everyone is an idiot?"

"But all my memorials were like stone sinking into the sea, and what I got in return was scolding again and again. Over time, I realized that I can't touch these people at all. Do you know, Mr. Shen, we can't touch them at all!"

Speaking of this, Zhuo Yutang's face was full of bitterness, and he sighed sadly, "I didn't know until now that they are not fools, but I am!"

"So these days, I can only hide myself desperately, avoid the edge of those powerful people, and rely on the little bit of prefect authority left to protect other common people."

"This operation is quite flamboyant!" Zhuo Yutang's words also let Shen Yu see the arrogance of the people in Songnan Mansion, which was not concealed at all.

Moreover, it is estimated that the whole government office is full of people from other families. A frail scholar like Zhuo Yutang is alone and helpless. In addition, this Master Zhuo is actually of average fighting ability, and he doesn't understand those twists and turns. It is reasonable to be bullied things.

Zhuo Yutang, an official, is so useless!

"Master Shen, to be honest, I have actually thought about transferring over the years, but I applied for it several times, but I was rejected again and again. As time passed, I gave up and could only endure here slowly!"

"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Shen Yu felt a little sad for him.People like this can be obedient and obedient, and they can get some money if they don't want it. The most important thing is that they are easy to handle. They are not as slippery as those old fritters. Of course, this is what they need.

It's not easy to meet such a foolish person who wants to leave after coming here, so just stay here obediently.

"Lord Shen!" Having said this, Zhuo Yutang sighed deeply, "Listen to my persuasion, no matter if you are a powerful person or a big family, poor scholars like you and me can't afford to mess with you. You have to save yourself first." Only by yourself can we save more people in the cracks!"

"Lord Zhuo, there are some things that we can't just bow our heads to. If we compromise for survival, what we get in return can only be progress step by step!"

"And what I want to tell them is that from today onwards, the rules of Songnan Mansion have changed!"

Chapter 121

"Lord Shen, I will send you off for thousands of miles. If you have to say goodbye at the end, send it here!"

For Shen Yu to see him off, Zhuo Yutang was very touched in his heart, and he also confided his heart when parting.

Seeing Shen Yu's immature and excessive face, Zhuo Yutang still couldn't help reminding, "Master Shen, you have touched people from the Gu family, they are very vicious, you must be careful!"

"Lord Zhuo, don't worry, I've made a note!"

"By the way, there is actually one more thing!" Zhuo Yutang, who was just about to leave, hesitated for a moment and said, "This thing has actually been hidden in my heart, I don't know if I should talk about it or not!"

"Lord Zhuo, it doesn't matter if you say it!"

"Actually, I have been paying attention to one thing over the years. A large number of people in Songnan Prefecture have been oppressed by several big families all year round, so I don't know how many people become beggars every year, but there are not many beggars on the street!"

"What does Master Zhuo mean?"

"It literally means that these people disappeared for no reason! Most of the beggars seen on the street are new faces, and many old faces have disappeared and have never appeared again."

"Master Zhuo means that people in Songnan Mansion have been disappearing all the time, but no one noticed?"

"That's right!" Zhuo Yutang nodded, with a cautious expression on his face, and slowly said, "People who have been reduced to beggars are no longer ordinary people. These beggars are like rubbish on the side of the road. Even if they disappear Otherwise, no one will care about it!"

"Although I'm secretly investigating these things, I don't have enough trustworthy people in my hands, so I haven't made much progress. Even, sometimes I feel that all this is just my own illusion."

"There is such a thing!" Brows frowned slightly, Shen Yu certainly did not believe that all this was just an accident.It is absolutely impossible for these people to disappear for no reason. There are still many secrets hidden under the water in Songnan Mansion.

But it's fine if some things are not exposed. Once exposed, there must be traces to follow.No one in Zhuo Yutang's guard can find out, but it doesn't mean he has nothing to do.
