Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 422 Drunkard County Magistrate
With an order, the three yamen servants strode forward with water and fire sticks in their hands, with grim smiles on their faces, obviously preparing to avenge the previous beating.

Just when the three of them walked behind Fang Yiai and Xie Yaohuan, a sneer suddenly came from Fang Yiai.

Hearing the sneer, the three yamen servants were stunned. They had seen Fang Yiai's skills, even though they were carrying water and fire sticks, it would not be enough to fight if they really wanted to.

The magistrate of Kaocheng held the jug, rubbed his nose, and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at the magistrate's authority!" Fang Yiai said with a smile as he looked at Kaocheng magistrate with his hands behind his back.

The magistrate of Kaocheng snorted coldly, put down the jug, stretched his arms and said, "Nonsense, this county is the head of a county, how can it be done without official authority!"

"What are you doing in a daze? Hit me!" After passing the examination as the county magistrate, he patted the gavel again. Before the yamen servant could move forward, Fang Yiai took out a small cloth bag from his waist.

Seeing Fang Yiai taking out the small cloth bag, the county magistrate's eyes glowed, he reached out to stop the yamen servant, and said with a smile: "What a student, you really know how to behave."

"The county honored you, please take it out and have a look." Saying that, Fang Yiai walked forward slowly, put the small cloth bag on the case, and then stood beside Xie Yaohuan again.

The magistrate of Kaocheng picked up the small cloth bag, untied the string, and said: "You have learned to be a man, baby, your future is limitless."

Facing the praise of the magistrate of Kaocheng, Fang Yiai and Xie Yaohuan smiled and said nothing, and they stared at the face of the magistrate of Kaocheng one by one, wanting to see his expression after seeing the official seal.

Taking out the official seal from the cloth bag, the magistrate of Kaocheng weighed it in his hand a few times, and muttered: "It's not light, about five taels."

After weighing the weight, the magistrate of Kaocheng looked down and saw the auspicious cloud pattern on the top of the official seal.

"Huh? This thing looks familiar!" The county magistrate Kaocheng touched his rosacea, looked up at Fang Yiai, glanced at the county magistrate's big seal on the official case from the corner of his eye, and the hair on his back suddenly stood up.

"Hey, isn't this the official seal?" The magistrate of Kaocheng turned around to look at the private seal tremblingly, and he could see the four characters "Caozhou Tongju" in an instant.

"Cao Cao. Caozhou General Judgment!" Kaocheng County Magistrate almost threw the official seal on the ground, stood up quickly, trotted up to Fang Yiai, cupped his hands and said, "When did the Shangguan arrive?"

"I'm a bit tired, can I take the county magistrate's chair to rest?" Fang Yiai took the official seal from Kaocheng county magistrate, and strode up to the high platform.

The magistrate of Kaocheng stood under the hall, he didn't follow, and he didn't follow, he was in a dilemma, wishing to kill the three yamen servants who caused trouble immediately.

When the yamen servants and the police officers learned of Fang Yiai's identity, they all complained endlessly, and the three yamen servants wanted to cry without tears, their legs went limp, and they all knelt on the ground.

"The villain has no eyes, violated the general sentence, and hoped that the Shangguan would punish him."

"Small ones deserve to die, small sins deserve death!"

"Please punish me!"

Sitting in the lobby, Fang Yiai looked at the three yamen servants kneeling on the ground, and Kaocheng magistrate standing aside, sneered, and said leisurely, "What are you guilty of? The promotion of this official is a sixty-seventy-year-old Learned old gentlemen, I would like to thank you!"

Standing beside Fang Yiai, Xie Yaohuan sneered, thinking, "This enemy is quite vengeful. I was scolded by the people in Sigong Town for no reason before. I think this bad breath must be on the heads of the yamen servants and county magistrates. .”

As soon as this remark came out, the magistrate of Kaocheng immediately broke into a cold sweat, thinking to himself, "Could it be that these three idiots, in front of Tong San, said that Tong San was right? If Tong San heard what they said The one who passed the judgment is not, isn't this official going to be punished by the general judgment?"

Just as the magistrate of Kaocheng was chanting the "Tongjue Tongue Twister" silently in his heart, he only heard the slapping of the gavel in the hall, and then Fang Yiai's cold words came again.

"County Honor, you are Wang Fa? I don't dare to let Wang Fa stand, come up and sit down!"

"I don't dare to be an official! I don't dare to be an official!" Kaocheng County magistrate bowed and answered, most of the drunkenness disappeared immediately.

Fang Yiai touched the gavel, looked at the flagon on the table, and said with a smile, "What's your name?"

"The next official, Jin Xiangrui, is the main hall of Kaocheng County."

"Jin Xiangrui? According to the law of my Tang Dynasty, county magistrates can drink for fun while handling cases?"

Seeing Fang Yiai's questioning about drinking, Jin Xiangrui hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I have reported to the judge, I got a cold last night, and the doctor prescribed a pot of medicinal wine, drinking alcohol is medicine, medicine is drinking alcohol, I hope Shangguan will check clearly. "

Fang Yiai dubiously opened the lid of the jug, and saw that it was filled with wine from the Western Regions. The anger in his heart suddenly increased, and he sneered: "What disease can this fine wine cure? Can you cure your alcohol addiction?"

Jin Xiangrui was about to defend himself, but Fang Yiai slapped the gavel angrily, and scolded, "Doo! Bold Jin Xiangrui, dare you deceive me that I am too young to be an official? Do you know my official position as a general judge in Caozhou?"

As soon as the words came out, Jin Xiangrui's legs softened, and he knelt on the ground immediately, raised his hands above his head, and said falteringly: "Oh, sir, you should forgive this humble job."

"Forgive you, I'm afraid someone won't agree!"

"The one who doesn't agree?"

"The people under your command!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai took out a command arrow from the lottery tube, whistled at Jin Xiangrui who was kneeling in the hall, and said, "Hey, magistrate, are you still asleep?"

"No, no, Shangguan, please tell me." Jin Xiangrui nodded repeatedly, fearing that he would offend this little evil star again.

"Master County, you have been an official for a few years, and you have been a good parent official for several years. The children and people under your command have nothing to repay. No, just a few words will brush you off!"

After the arrow fell to the ground, Fang Yiai said to the policemen and yamen servants in the hatchback: "Come on, take these three bold villains to Sigong Town to parade in the streets!"

"Jin Xiangrui will temporarily suspend his duties to investigate and deal with it. He will deal with it after I report to the court!"

Seeing that Fang Yiai's methods were fierce, no one dared to be negligent, they hurriedly took off the official uniforms and soap caps of the three yamen servants, and escorted them to Sigong Town to parade the streets.

After the arresters and yamen servants had left, Fang Yiai said to Jin Xiangrui who was kneeling in the hall: "Ma'am, do you want this black gauze?"

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan" Jin Xiangrui hesitated a few times, wanted to speak, but was afraid of falling into Fang Yiai's trap, so he could only say a flattering word, "It's all up to the boss."

"Go and get the county annals and the people's livelihood book, and I will compare them one by one. If you do the right thing, I will forgive you!"

Fang Yiai wanted to capture him so he gave it away, and threatened Jin Xiangrui to take out the dossier of the county examination, and then his heart sank.

Get out of the seat and signal Xie Yaohuan to check the records of Xiaohuai Village in recent years. Fearing that Jin Xiangrui would notice something strange, Fang Yiai simply walked off the high platform and took him to the gate of the county government office for some ventilation.

The two stood in front of the county yamen. Seeing that Jin Xiangrui was trembling and showing great respect to a young man dressed as a scholar, the people suddenly became suspicious. Standing three feet away from the county yamen, they began to discuss with the two of them.

"What's the matter, Mr. County?"

"I'm afraid I drank too much? Think this scholar is his father?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed heartily, apart from being ridiculed, it is not difficult to see everyone's resentment towards this alcoholic county magistrate.

Fang Yiai ignored the people's advice, and asked softly, "Master Xian, has there ever been a plague in Kaocheng County in recent years?"

"Ah? Plague? No! There has never been a plague in our county!"

"No? Since there has never been a plague, why is there only 8000 people in a medium-sized county? When I took office in Meiwu County, there were nearly 2 people in the county. That is the number after experiencing floods and locust plagues."

"This." Jin Xiangrui looked at Fang Yiai, his face was very ugly, like a fresh pig's liver, red in the black, black in the red, not a serious face anyway.

"What? Does the county lord have something difficult to say?" Seeing Jin Xiangrui faltering, Fang Yi was overjoyed and asked hastily.

Jin Xiangrui murmured for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "My lord, this matter is related to the Fu Zun, so it's better not to ask too many questions, Your lord."

"Hmph! Governor? Is it the magistrate of Caozhou? He is worthless in the eyes of this official!"

"Magistrate Jin, you have been an official for one term. Although you are fond of drinking and drinking, you are not a vicious person in the eyes of this official. Do you really have the heart to see the people under your command die unjustly?"

"What's the secret in Xiaohuai Village? You might as well tell me about it, as long as you tell the truth, I will keep you safe and sound!"

Facing Fang Yiai's repeated inquiries, Jin Xiangrui's bean eyes flickered, and after a while, he stomped his feet as if making up his mind, cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "My lord, please come to the inner yamen, I will tell you the truth."
