After my inner voice was exposed, I made the tyrant cry anxiously

Chapter 172: Making a fuss at the county government office

After leaving the inn, Yu Zhong ordered people to quickly send the affairs here and the prepared confessions to the capital. He only took three of them as witnesses and dealt with the rest.

The group of people divided into two groups. One group went to Xuzhou Mansion with witnesses, met with the Xuzhou Magistrate, and informed them of what happened here.

Yu Zhong took a subordinate and Xie Xunsu's family to the county government office to continue looking for the whereabouts of Liu Miaoqing and others and the disaster relief banknotes, and beware of the county magistrate destroying any physical evidence after learning about the inn.

When we arrived at the county government office, we could still see many victims sitting on the road in front of them, but they did not dare to approach them because they had been driven away.

After a few people took two steps towards the county government office gate, they were stopped by the government officials, "What are you doing? Are you allowed to enter the county government office at will!?"

Looking at the ferocious government servant in front of him, Xie Xun rolled his eyes inwardly. This was the first time that someone had used his prestige on him, Mr. Xie.

Yu Zhong said in a deep voice, "I have a murder case to report, and I would like to hear the news."

The two government officials looked at each other and said, "There are not many people dead now. The magistrate has no time to talk to you!"

The other one was even more arrogant. He looked at several people up and down, and when he saw that they were wearing ordinary common clothes, he sneered, "It smells like poverty. Is your mother dead or your wife and children dead?"

Su Juan looked at Yu Zhong, knowing that he was testing again.

If they directly reveal their identities, these people will definitely have another fawning face. If they don't hide their identities, how can they clearly see what kind of monsters are there in the county offices.

Yu Zhong was still not annoyed and took out the paper from his body, "I hope some adults can help pass the paper over. Thank you."

The paper was handed out, and the leading yamen servant took it, glanced at it, and stretched out his hand towards Yu Zhong.

Several people didn't know why: "?"

Seeing that the person in front of him looked like a piece of wood, the yamen servant spat and shouted to several people, "Give me money! Don't you need to give money for doing things!?"

Yu Zhong frowned, "Just handing over a piece of paper, but also asking for money for the service?"

The yamen officer sneered, "In our Xuzhou area, where can I get things done for free?"

The Su family members are not surprised. As Xuzhou is located in such a remote area, some officials feel that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They indulge their subordinates in collecting money for work, handing in petitions to ask for money, going to the county government office to ask for money, asking for money for everything, and even some officials are stupid. Some unjust, false and wrong cases were also decided, and even the people who reported the crime were imprisoned, waiting for others to send money to redeem them.

As a result, the poor did not dare to report the crime, and they did not dare to report the small matter. If there was no case to be investigated, there would naturally be less trouble in the local areas brought to the capital. The emperor would also think that these places were well governed and the government was people-friendly.

There are also many scholars who will stay in these places for a few years after being appointed. Then some people who are familiar with the court will be transferred back to the capital for promotion. They will use this as a springboard. Naturally, they will not sincerely work for the people.

Even though the emperor made many policy changes for this purpose and wanted to punish these corrupt officials, there were many people in the court who deceived the superiors and concealed the truth from the subordinates.

The more the Su family understands this, the clearer they become. In this era where all news is transmitted by manpower and horse power, the sky is really high and the emperor is really far away, and there is no way to control it.

But it was also the first time that she saw these scenes so vividly that had only appeared in documents in the past, such as terrible disasters, exchanging children for food, corrupt officials...

Is it possible that as long as someone can do more, the bad situation will be better.

Just when Su Juan was deep in thought, the government officials, seeing that they had no money, had already begun to drive people away. The papers were also thrown on the ground, and they cursed at the four people, "If you don't have money, why report a case! Is it your family to be the county government? Come here if you want. Come!?"

"Go away! Go away!"

Yu Zhong glanced at the subordinates next to him. The subordinates understood each other and took action directly. Xie Xun also followed suit and beat the people. Several government officials were nothing but drunkards and had no real skills. There was no place for them to hit them, and they were beaten to the ground within two strokes. Weeping on the ground, one of them rolled and crawled into the county government office to complain.

A group of four people broke into the county government office directly and beat down any government officials who blocked the way.

Xie Xun fought harder and harder, feeling it was too exciting. This kind of plot is only found in story books. Following the Su family, there is no shortage of excitement.

He County Magistrate Dong, who had his legs crossed and was holding a bottle of jade statue, was so angry that he rushed out without putting down the jade statue. When the county magistrate heard that someone was making trouble, they rushed out with others. In the court hall, they met the four Su family members. "You are so brave! You dare to cause trouble in the county government office! Come on, let me arrest them all!"

"Where's Liang Fei! Let him get out of here quickly. How dare you let these messy people in? Don't you want to do it?"

Magistrate Dong shouted twice, but no one showed up.

On the side was the county clerk: "Sir, Liang Fei and the others were beaten to the ground by these people..."

At this moment, no one can stop these people.

Magistrate Dong pushed the county clerk forward, "Hurry up and get it for me!"

He County Registrar was trembling, and he was so frightened when he saw the big knife on the man's waist. He was so frightened that he tripped and fell to the ground.

Xie Xun, who was just about to take action: "..."

He is really a waste even worse than the young master.

Magistrate Dong was furious and did not dare to step forward. He pointed at a few people and asked, "How many heads can you lose for breaking into the Yamen without permission?"

Yu Zhong said coldly, "The county government accepts the money from the prosecution, how many heads do you have, County Magistrate Dong, to lose?"

When County Magistrate Dong heard this, he didn't take it seriously and sneered, "The Yamen is open, so don't come in if you have a reason and no money."

"If you don't have the money, who will do the work? Is the county government here to work as a coolie for you!?"

Even the Su family members laughed at this.

Yu Zhong frowned. He had been to other places before. Xuzhou was a bit remote compared to other places. This was his first time here. He really didn't expect it to be like this.

Magistrate Dong glared at a few people. At this time, the Yamen servant who had been beaten to the ground had already rolled over and crawled over.

Feeling that there were many people, he was worried that he would not be able to capture the four dolls. He immediately became more confident, "Hurry up and capture these four daring people for me!"

Everyone rubbed their palms and fists, but they didn't dare to rush forward. After all, the place where they were hit was still hurting, and the bones might have been broken.

Yu Zhong's subordinates immediately took out the imperial edict and official seal that had been prepared, "How dare you! The Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment is handling the case. Your Majesty's edict is here. Who dares to violate it!?"

The county magistrate was steady and stepped forward to check. After confirmation, he took the lead and knelt on the ground, "Xiaoguan and county magistrate, pay homage to the Holy Majesty! Pay homage to Shangguan!"

Magistrate Dong was sweating profusely, wondering why people from the Beijing Central Punishment Department came to Hexian County!

"The lower official pays homage to His Majesty."

The people from the county government looked at each other. They didn’t know what kind of official Dali Temple was... But they looked at the beginning and they all knelt together, trembling and not daring to raise their heads.

With sharp eyes, Su Juan caught a glimpse of the jade statue in the county magistrate's hand, and clicked her tongue twice, "The disaster in Xuzhou is serious. Magistrate Dong is quite rich. The small statue in his hand can buy a large house in the county." 】

Immediately, the other three people also looked over. The quality of the small statue was worth a lot of money.

Yu Zhong remembered that Magistrate Dong was not from a wealthy family, and his salary was just enough for food, clothing, housing and transportation. It seemed that he did have a lot of dirt in his hands.

He sneered, "Mr. Dong, the little statue in your hand looks pretty good. Didn't you spend a lot of money on it?"
