A knife in love

Chapter 1271

Xiao Dong pushed He Tuotou up the stone steps until he reached the front of the main hall.Zhang Shi, shopkeeper Hu and others did not dare to enter the court without permission, and stood waiting at the foot of the stone steps.Li Qiufeng supported Wei Erbao and stood behind the crowd, turning his head to look around.There is a conference room on both sides of the main hall, and the left and right sides of the courtyard are corridor-style corridors, surrounding the rooms on both sides.At this time, the lanterns hanging on the promenade were all lit up, making the whole magistrate's yamen look as bright as day, making it look more magnificent.

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Xiao Dong saw that the yamen servants in the hall had already lined up, and the county magistrate had also sat on the grand teacher's chair. He thought to himself, even the old man in the court of the Ministry of Punishment in the capital has passed by, so is he afraid that you, a small county yamen, will fail?He carefully looked at the official sitting on the teacher's chair, thinking that the county magistrate could tell at a glance that he was a corrupt official, and the person standing next to the desk must be the teacher.With such a treacherous face, he must not be a good person.

When the master spoke loudly, he asked Xiao Dong to enroll in the hall.Xiao Dong sneered, and pushed forward with his left hand, Catcher He only felt a strong force coming from behind him, and he couldn't help but rush forward.It's just that the threshold of the main hall was more than a foot high, and he staggered forward, his left leg was stumbling over the threshold, and he fell to the ground involuntarily.He Butou turned pale with fright, secretly shouted that it was not good.It's just that it's impossible to stand still at this time, so I can only fall to the ground helplessly.

At this moment, Xiao Dong had already stepped over the threshold and walked straight into the hall.He stretched out his left hand suddenly, grabbing He Tuotou's belt, which prevented He Tuotou from falling to the ground.He Qiu has a big head and a big waist, but Xiao Dong is holding it in his hand, like carrying a baby, it seems that it takes no effort at all.Seeing this situation, the magistrate, master and all the yamen servants standing in the hall changed their expressions greatly.

Xiao Dong took He Tutou and walked two steps before putting him down.He Butou's face was as white as paper, and he said in a trembling voice: "Report, Your Excellency, the criminal has, has been brought here, please, please forgive me..."

The county magistrate and the master were annoyed when they saw He Tuotou's appearance. They thought to themselves that you looked like a stray dog. It was obvious that a criminal brought you in, but you still had no shame in covering it up in front of everyone.The county magistrate grabbed the gavel from the desk, hit the desk heavily, and shouted: "Who is standing there, please tell me your name?"

Xiao Dong sneered, and said: "My surname is Xiao Mingdong, from the capital."

The county magistrate's expression changed, he let out a "huh", looked at Xiao Dong carefully, and asked sharply: "The capital is far away from Dongliao County, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Dongdao: "Xiao didn't think of this despicable place at first, but encountered wind and waves at sea, and the ship was damaged, so he had to take shelter at the dock of Dongliao County. Never thought that Dongliao County was actually a thief Wozi, in broad daylight, some thieves stole Xiao's boat. As the magistrate of Dongliao County, don't you feel ashamed?"

The county magistrate did not expect Xiao Dong to dare to speak like this, he was startled for a moment, then furious, he stood up from the grand teacher's chair, pointed his right hand at Xiao Dong and said angrily: "This is the first time I have been an official for more than ten years. Seeing such a fierce lunatic like you! You are originally from the capital, but you came to Dongliao County, how could you walk by sea? You are clearly lying in public and deceiving this official. This official sees that you look treacherous, not like a good person .Beating the drums in the middle of the night, nine times out of ten, there is another conspiracy! It seems that there is no need for severe punishment, and you are not willing to tell the truth."

Having said this, the magistrate stretched out his hand to grab a stick from the quiver and threw it at Xiao Dong, yelling: "Come here, beat this madman [-] boards first, and then put him in prison. Wait until the officer finds out who he is." After the origin of the crime, I will ask the crime!"

There was a sound of "Dang", and the stick fell on the stone slab in front of Xiao Dong.The yamen servants lined up on the left and right yelled the word "mighty" in unison, and then two yamen servants rolled up their sleeves and walked over, reaching out their hands from the left and right to grab Xiao Dong's shoulders.Seeing this situation, He Catcher was overjoyed, thinking to himself that no matter how crazy you are, you dare not shout at the court.After we take you down, I will beat you personally this time.If you don't beat one Buddha up to heaven and two Buddhas out of the world, I won't be named He.After I put you in the prison, I simply made you with a sandbag at night, which is considered revenge for being humiliated by you today.

I saw two yamen servants stretching out their hands to grab Xiao Dong's arm, but just as their fingers touched Xiao Dong's clothes, they suddenly felt a strong force rushing over.They both exclaimed in unison, and they flew up, with two "bang bang", they fell two or three feet away, and they couldn't get up again for a while.All the yamen servants turned pale with fright and retreated one after another.He Butou had already snatched the board from a yamen servant, and stood behind Xiao Dong, only after two yamen servants pushed Xiao Dong down, he was going to execute the sentence himself.But when he saw the two yamen servants being thrown out by Xiao Dong's unknown means, he was startled, and hurriedly backed away until he reached the entrance of the main hall, whereupon he stopped.

The magistrate and the master did not expect such a change in the situation, and their expressions changed drastically.The magistrate shouted angrily: "It's reversed! You madman dares to fight in the court. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is a heinous felony! Come, take down this madman! If he still dares to resist, Shoot or kill!"

A dozen or so yamen servants in the main hall saw that Xiao Dong was motionless, so they threw the two companions out, thinking that he could use magic spells, they were all scared out of their wits, and retreated one after another.At this time, hearing the magistrate's order to arrest Xiao Dong, although these yamen servants yelled and threatened, none of them dared to step forward to fight Xiao Dong, instead they retreated a few steps.

Seeing this situation, the county magistrate was furious, grabbed the gavel and hit the desk hard again, and shouted: "He catcher, why don't you bring someone to take down this madman?!"

At this time, Catcher He had retreated to the entrance of the main hall, raised one foot, and was about to escape out the door.Hearing the magistrate's angry shout, he was so frightened that he had to take back the foot he had stepped out.He threw the board in his hand on the ground casually, pulled out his waist knife, and bluffed at the arresters standing outside the main hall door: "Why don't you come in quickly and take this madman down?!"

All the arresters crowded outside the door quickly saw He Tuotou being subdued by Xiao Dong with their own eyes, and just now they saw two yamen servants suffer a big loss, they were already terrified in their hearts.So when they heard He Butou order to arrest people, how would these police officers dare to rush into the main hall to do it?Everyone waved their waist knives, iron rulers and water and fire sticks and shouted loudly, but no one dared to rush into the main hall to arrest people.The old catcher was quick to see the opportunity, thinking to himself that the magistrate and head catcher He had already ordered arresting people, but the idea was very good, if they rushed in and made a move, it would be very likely to be bad luck.But although this idea is powerful, the guys following him are not Lianjiazi at first glance.It's better to arrest these people outside the door first, firstly, you can threaten the lunatic in the hall and arrest them without a fight, secondly, the magistrate and He Butou order to arrest them, if you dare not do it yourself, you will inevitably be punished afterwards.If you catch these people outside the door, you can be regarded as obeying the orders of the magistrate and He Butou.Wouldn't it be wonderful to kill two birds with one stone like this?

The old catcher quickly made up his mind, swung the waist knife with his right hand, and rushed towards Zhang Shi, shopkeeper Hu and others standing at the foot of the stone steps.Zhang Shi and others stood under the stone steps, stretching their necks and looking towards the main hall.Although I heard the magistrate roaring in the main hall, but thinking of Xiao Dong's high martial arts skills and his job in the firearms bureau in the capital, he would come forward to handle the affairs, the magistrate of Dongliao county would never dare to disobey.It's just that he didn't expect that the old policeman would rush towards him with a knife instead.Everyone was shocked, turned around and fled in a panic.

The group of arresters standing outside the door saw that the old arrester did not enter the main hall to pick up people, but rushed towards Zhang Shi and others standing under the stone steps. At first, they were puzzled, but after thinking about it, they immediately understood what was going on. joints.These people had the same thoughts as the old policeman, so they were naturally not to be outdone, and chased after Zhang Shi and the others yelling.Zhang Shi, shopkeeper Hu and others were scared out of their wits, and hid in the middle of the courtyard to avoid the swarming arresters.

Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng secretly scolded these arresters for being shameless.Seeing that shopkeeper Luo was running slowly, he was tripped by a policeman stretching his leg, and fell to the ground screaming.Immediately, two or three arresters rushed forward, pressing shopkeeper Luo under him like stacking arhats.Shopkeeper Luo was lying on the ground, and the several arresters who were thrown down were so crushed that their eyes were staring at each other, their bones all over their bodies were in pain as if they were broken, and they couldn't help screaming loudly.
