A knife in love

Chapter 1269

When Xiao Dong heard Zhang Shi say this, he was a little suspicious, and said in his mouth: "I have seen the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple try cases several times in the capital. Why have I never heard of the strange thing about beating the drum and being boarded?"

Zhang Shi said with a smile: "Although the villain is not in the officialdom, I have heard people say that the trial of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is just a formality. The outcome of the case, the adults of the Ministry of Criminal Justice have already had a plan in mind before they are promoted. Let's talk about the case heard by the Ministry of Criminal Justice They are all major cases that shake the world. How can ordinary people be allowed to beat the drums of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? As the saying goes, a gentleman can deceive them. Lord Xiao is a loyal person. What did you do?"

Walking behind the two, Li Qiufeng felt amused when he heard Zhang Shi boast that Xiao Dong was a "loyal man".I thought to myself that Xiao Dong is not only narrow-minded, but also cunning and greedy.If he is a loyal person, there will be no more treacherous villains in the world.

Zhang Shi went on to say: "The second disadvantage is that the common people are afraid of being beaten by the yamen's board. Trying to hide and not reporting to the yamen at all. Therefore, the world looks peaceful, but the imperial court and the prefectures and counties in various places have become deaf and blind. If you are caught off guard, there is a danger of overturning. The villain went to Fujian for a business the year before last, and only then did he realize how harmful this evil is. It stands to reason that although the Japanese pirates are fierce, they are thousands of times different from the Ming court? But The disaster of the Japanese pirates became more and more severe, killing and injuring countless officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. It was because the people were afraid of the government and knew that the Japanese pirates were coming, but they did not dare to report to the government. In this way, the yamen and the officers and soldiers did not know where the Japanese pirates were. You know the situation of the officers and soldiers like the palm of your hand, and you only pick on where the officers and soldiers are unsuspecting to invade, how can you fight this battle?"

Hearing what Zhang Shi said, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, this Zhang Yuanwai is extremely smart, he sees things very clearly.Officials like Xiao Dong, who enjoyed good fortune in the capital, naturally knew little about the sufferings of the local people and the disadvantages of the local government offices.

Xiao Dong said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, after you have said so much, do you not want to go to the magistrate's office to report the loss of the big ship?"

Zhang Shi heard that Xiao Dong's tone was not good, and his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "How dare the villain have such a plan? The villain just reminded Mr. Xiao that the local yamen is no more than the six departments of the capital, the sky is high, and the emperor is far away. A small seventh-rank county magistrate can decide life and death. They will rise up immediately when they hear the benefits, and retreat when they are in danger. I am afraid that if we beat the drums, the county magistrate may not be willing to rise to the court to handle the case."

Xiao Dong snorted, and said in his mouth: "If he dares not to be promoted to handle the case, Xiao will drag him out of the inner hall! A mere magistrate of Dongliao County, an official who is as big as a sesame and mung bean, dares to attack the six departments of the capital." Do you ignore the official documents?!"

Zhang Shixin thought to himself, you bastard, you use the name of the firearms bureau to act as a dominance after you go to various places, you are used to being arrogant, you don't know how difficult these local officials are.I remind you with good words and kind words, but you think I am trying to harm you.That being the case, I want to see how you, a bastard, can persuade these dirty officials to get the big boat back for you!

Seeing that Zhang Shi was silent, Xiao Dong thought that he was overwhelmed by his aura, and he was quite proud of it.But he didn't know that Zhang Shi was thinking of himself as his father.Everyone had their own ghosts, stopped talking, and walked straight to the county magistrate's office in Dongliao County.

After touching half a stick of incense, everyone arrived in front of the magistrate's yamen.I saw a big lantern hanging on the left and right sides of the gate. Under the light of the lantern, you can see a drum rack standing on the right side of the gate, and a big drum is placed on the rack.There were two police officers standing in front of the door, they were talking quietly together.

Xiao Dong strode towards the yamen, shopkeeper Hu and others followed closely behind him.Zhang Shi was about to follow, but Wei Erbao, who had been silent until now, quietly grabbed his lapel.Zhang Shi was startled, and turned to look at Wei Erbao.Wei Erbao lowered his voice and said, "Master Zhang, please don't mess with the county magistrate. Otherwise, otherwise, our lives will be lost here."

Zhang Shi became suspicious, and said in his mouth: "What does shopkeeper Wei mean by this?"

Wei Erbao was startled, put his right index finger to his lips, and gave Zhang Shi a "shh", signaling him not to speak loudly.Wei Erbao whispered: "The villain just heard Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xiao talking, and knows that Mr. Zhang is a prudent person and knows the dirty tricks of these officials. It is just like what Mr. Zhang said. Before our Dongliao County It is true that some people beat the drum at night, but after entering the Yamen, not only did the case fail, but they were hit by the county magistrate for thirty boards, and they died before they were sent home. Therefore, no one dared to attack them all these years. The drum has complained. The current magistrate of Dongliao County is surnamed Li. If you say something offensive, this Mr. Li is a big corrupt official. In the eyes of Mr. Li, he only recognizes silver and bank notes. Mr. Xiao is so aggressive Beating the drums, and offending the magistrate of the county, I'm afraid we will all be punished. Judging by Uncle Xiao's appearance, we will definitely not listen to Mr. Zhang's persuasion. It's better for us to wait outside the yamen and let Uncle Xiao and Hu The uncle and the others go to the Yamen to see the county magistrate."

Zhang Shi knew that what Wei Erbao said was true, but he just didn't understand why he would tell him about it.So Zhang Shilue pondered for a while, slowed down his pace, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Wei, why did you tell me about this?"

Wei Erbao said: "Master Zhang is much smarter than Uncle Xiao and the others. If you follow Master Zhang, you will definitely not let the villain suffer. Therefore, the villain naturally knows everything in front of Master Zhang, and he can say everything..."

Before Wei Erbao finished speaking, Xiao Dong had already walked under the stone steps of the yamen gate.The two police officers saw Xiao Dong's group approaching at first, and thought they were ordinary people passing by the yamen, but they didn't pay attention.It's just that Xiao Dong went straight to the yamen, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the bottom of the stone steps, and when he was about to step up the stone steps, the two arresters were shocked and shouted loudly: "Stop! Who are you? !"

Wei Erbao was talking to Zhang Shi in a low voice, when he heard the policeman yelling loudly, his body trembled in fright, his head was almost retracted into his neck, and he looked up at the gate of the Yamen in horror, daring not to say a word again.

Seeing Wei Erbao's appearance like this, Zhang Shi secretly laughed at him for being timid.At this moment, Xiao Dong didn't stop at all, he already walked up the stone steps.Standing at the top of the stone steps, the two police officers saw Xiao Dong approaching and knew the situation was different, they hurriedly reached out and drew out their waist knives, pointed at Xiao Dong and shouted: "Stop for me! Go ahead and be careful of your life!"

Xiao Dong was fearless and still walked up the stone steps.One of the policemen raised his waist knife, as if he was about to strike Xiao Dong's head.It's just that he raised the saber just now, he just felt that Xiao Dong was in front of him, only half a foot away from him.The policeman was frightened, he was about to back away in a panic, but he felt his chest tighten, but Xiao Dong stretched out his hand to grab his chest, and then threw it back forcefully.The arrester flew into the air like a cloud and fog, and fell straight down the stone steps.The policeman yelled in fright, and after a while, he only heard a "bang" and fell heavily to the ground.The policeman only felt severe pain all over his body, and he couldn't get up again for a while.

The other policeman hadn't seen clearly how Xiao Dong made his move, and his companion had already fallen onto the road in front of the Yamen.Shocked, he turned around and ran towards the gate, wanting to flee back to the yamen for help.It's just that he just ran two steps, and he felt a chill on the back of his neck, and a hand had already grabbed his neck.The arrester knew something was wrong, and was about to stab him behind with a steel knife.Unexpectedly, the hand holding his neck suddenly exerted strength, and the policeman only felt a tingling pain in his neck, and the strength in his whole body disappeared instantly without a trace.The right hand could no longer hold the waist knife, only heard a "bang", the waist knife fell to the stone slab.Immediately there was a "huh" sound, and this policeman was also thrown out, and fell right next to the No. 1 policeman.The two policemen were struggling on the ground to get up, but their bodies were in pain, as if they were falling apart, and they couldn't even stand up for a while.

After Xiao Dong threw the two guards down the stone steps, he strode to the side of the drum, reached out and grabbed the drumstick from the stand, and struck it on the drum.The sound of the drum was so loud that it hurt everyone's ears.And it was in the middle of the night when the sound of the drum suddenly sounded, and the sound shook the whole field, which made people feel thrilling.
