Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 57
Government office lobby.

After Li Ke finished speaking, everyone looked at him in surprise.

Including the prefect!

He was a little confused holding the bank note, and then said:
"Boy, what do you want to do?"

Li Ke sneered: "Hmph, of course it is to eliminate harm for the people!"

The magistrate frowned: "Although I said that I charged you 1000 taels of silver, don't mess around!"

Li Ke said: "Since you have received the money, you must cooperate, right?"

The magistrate looked at the money in his hand, then at Li Ke, then gritted his teeth:
"That's right, the mansion has to take care of things after receiving the money. You all listen to him and take down the mansion."

Those yamen servants were hesitant at first, after all, Li Ke was indeed very majestic at that moment, which made them obedient inexplicably.

Now that the prefect has said so, they are not afraid, they immediately go forward and clasp the prefect's hands.

This magistrate is really interested in money, and he is so cooperative.

This made Li Ke dumbfounded, he had never seen such a strange thing.

But keep on talking:
"Come here, immediately go to several counties under the jurisdiction of Shun'an Mansion and bring all the county magistrates!"

The magistrate was stunned again and wanted to speak, but he looked at the 1000 taels of silver and held back.

So the yamen servants had no choice but to obey and leave immediately.

Next is to wait.

Li Ke just sat like that, and the dramatic scene here finally attracted the attention of many people.

So with the passage of time, more and more people outside the lobby of the Yamen Gate came here to watch.

Everyone wants to know, what exactly does that young man without official uniform want to do while sitting in an official position?
In fact, at this time, the magistrate also had a lot of doubts about Li Ke.

On the one hand, he cooperated with Li Ke because he received the money, and on the other hand, he continued to cooperate with Li Ke because of curiosity.

In any case, what happened here today aroused everyone's interest and curiosity.

Moreover, everyone is waiting here, wanting to see what will happen next.

Minutes passed by.

About an hour or two.

The magistrates of several counties under the jurisdiction of Shun'an Prefecture arrived one after another.

Because the yamen servant who went to bring the message said that the magistrate asked them to come, and the magistrate had an order, and they, as seventh-rank officials, dared not refuse to listen, so they rushed here quickly.

In the hall, after all the five county magistrates under their jurisdiction arrived, they all looked at Li Ke sitting in the hall in a daze.

Obviously, they didn't even think about it, why did that young man sit in the position of the magistrate?
And the magistrate stood below and was held hands by two yamen servants?
This scene really baffled them.

They wanted to ask, but the quiet and tense atmosphere prevented them from opening their mouths easily.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Ke frowned and patted the gavel vigorously, and said:
"" There are five county magistrates under Shun'an Mansion, but all of them are present. "

Below, a yamen servant stood up and said:

"It's all here!"

Li Ke narrowed his eyes and nodded, then continued:

"Since this is the case, let's start the questioning. I have emphasized before, this time I want to eliminate harm for the people. Now let's talk about the specific incident in public."

Everyone looked at him, anticipating what he was going to say next.

See Li Ke said lightly:

"What is going to trial now is the random collection of taxes by the counties in Shun'an Prefecture."

Hearing this, the magistrate's face changed, and he understood what Li Ke wanted to do.

The magistrates of the other five counties also stared at Li Ke.

The surrounding yamen servants and the people outside all looked at Li Ke.

They didn't expect that Li Ke would dare to say such a thing at this time.

You know, the word tax is an absolute taboo in Shun'an Mansion, no one dares to resist, no one even dares to mention it.

However, Li Ke actually called the county magistrates in such a large audience, and said this in public.

This really shocked many people's jaws.

At the same time, the magistrate frowned and sneered, now that he knew what Li Ke wanted to do.

Even if Li Ke's money was collected, it would be impossible for Li Ke to continue messing around.

So, with a wave of his hands, he broke free from the shackles of the two yamen servants, then looked at Li Ke and said with a sneer:

"What would I do when I thought you were a boy, but I didn't expect that I would dare to get entangled in this matter. Boy, you are sleepwalking to the Palace of the King of Hades, and you are looking for death in your dreams!"

As the prefect spoke, he walked towards the hall.

Obviously, he is not going to give Li Ke another chance to be promoted to trial here.

Seeing this, Li Ke said lightly to the yamen servants:
"Take down the prisoner."

Those yamen servants looked at each other, obviously a little afraid.

There was an order from the prefect before, but now the prefect obviously doesn't want to play, so how dare they continue to follow Li Ke's order?

The prefect sneered a few times and said, "Why. Are you still addicted? You don't really think of yourself as an official, do you?"

Li Ke also smiled, and said:

"Of course I'm not an official."

The magistrate snorted and said:

"It's good that you know, boy, now obediently come down and kowtow to admit your mistake, or take out some more money.

Maybe I don't care about you.Otherwise, I am afraid it will be very difficult for you to leave the gate of this mansion alive. "

Li Ke still sat in his official position and didn't care about his threats.

At the same time, he lightly took out a finely carved small seal from his body.

A majestic and domineering dragon is engraved on the seal, coiled on the seal.

Whether it is material or workmanship, the seal is absolutely unique and unique.

Especially the dragon carved on it, which is a status symbol.

Ordinary people, even princes and nobles, must never have anything related to dragons.

Because the dragon represents the son of heaven, the emperor, identity and status.

After Li Ke took out the seal, he gently placed it on the table in front of him.

Then he said softly:

"Today, I am very curious, whether I can leave this mere government office alive!"
