A knife in love

Chapter 2143
Murong Danyan thought to himself, no wonder the dog official of the county can call the wind and rain in Wangqi County and do whatever he wants.The common people in this city are all extremely ignorant and can only be bullied by these dog officials.The tens of thousands of people in the whole city were squeezed into such a state by a dog official and dozens of dog legs, which is both ridiculous and sad.

When she thought of this, she glanced at the shopkeeper and Humpty Dumpty, and thought again, she thought that among the people who stretched their necks outside the magistrate's yamen that day and waited excitedly to watch the excitement, there were these two old men in front of them.These people were originally oppressed, but the matter has not passed, but they have become aloof, become stupid and boring spectators, completely forget the suffering they have suffered, and even their relatives and friends in prison I forgot all about it.

When Murong Danyan was thinking about it, he heard the shopkeeper continue to say: "Master Ji is very pleased with himself. He just waits for Uncle Ji to arrive, and then he will take out all the tens of thousands of crickets he has collected. Seeing this situation, Uncle Ji must be terrified." I was so frightened that I might just raise my hands and surrender, and I would win without a fight. Not only could I get 1000 taels of silver from this salt dealer, but I could also increase my prestige. From then on, the people in Wangqi County became more obedient to me , no longer dare to have the slightest resistance.

"The more the county magistrate thinks about it, the more complacent he is. His masters, secretary offices, headhunters and other dog legs naturally know his intentions, and they can't stop complimenting him. Although other wealthy businessmen and big households hate the dog official magistrate, they dare not say anything. Confidence, he had no choice but to echo a few words. Amidst all the praises, Uncle Ji finally arrived.

"When everyone saw that Uncle Ji brought twenty or thirty servants into the yamen, and carried a few large wooden boxes, they felt a little strange. If the rules were followed, Uncle Ji could only bring a few servants into the yamen, but today is the On the day of the game, Uncle Ji said that the boxes were filled with things for fighting crickets, and the police officer guarding the door quickly knew that the magistrate and Uncle Ji had a big bet today, so they just casually looked through a few big wooden boxes, Then put these people into the Yamen.

"Master Jixian saw that Uncle Ji brought many servants and carried four or five large wooden boxes, and felt a little strange. After seeing the magistrate, Uncle Ji cupped his hands and said, I heard that the magistrate has been buying crickets everywhere for the past seven days. He also had no choice but to send someone to buy some crickets so that he would not be at a disadvantage during the game. Hearing what Uncle Ji said, the magistrate thought to himself that this salt dealer was not just waiting to die, he was also collecting crickets. But look at his men His servants only carried four or five wooden boxes, at most a few thousand crickets. But he had already prepared tens of thousands of crickets, and he still had the upper hand. Thinking of this, the magistrate laughed, thinking that he would definitely Having won a complete victory, he immediately ordered to move all his crickets to the lobby, to compete with Uncle Ji's crickets.

"Uncle Ji saw that the county magistrate ordered to move out more than 20 large iron cages. The cages were full of crickets. It was amazing at a glance. Uncle Ji seemed to be a little surprised when he saw this situation. The magistrate was very proud, and looked at Uncle Ji. Said, if you admit defeat now and obediently hand over the 1000 taels of silver, we don't have to waste time.

"Uncle Ji sighed, and said to the magistrate, although the lord has the upper hand, but Ji still wants to give it a try. The magistrate sneered and said, in that case, just take out your crickets, let's have one A comparison! Uncle Ji nodded, and immediately ordered his servants to open the box. The servants agreed, and then removed the lid of the wooden box, and took out more than a dozen small wooden boxes from each large wooden box. After opening the small wooden box, it was indeed filled with crickets.

"Seeing this situation, the magistrate and the others all thought in their hearts that the surname Ji really came prepared, but each wooden box only contains a dozen small wooden boxes, and each small wooden box can only hold ten crickets at most. , this salt dealer only has a thousand crickets at most. This game magistrate wins the bet, and 1000 taels of silver can be easily won.

"Just when the magistrate and others were proud, they saw that the servants threw the small wooden box on the ground at will. The crickets in the box escaped and jumped on the ground, and there was chaos in the lobby. The dog official magistrate The people paid the crickets, and all the crickets in and outside the city were caught cleanly, so the value of the crickets soared, and each cricket could be sold for at least [-] yuan. Some officials, wealthy businessmen and tolerances crowded in the lobby caught Seeing crickets jumping everywhere, I was surprised and happy. In their eyes, these crickets were not insects, but copper coins. Many people secretly caught crickets and hid them in their arms.

"Seeing this situation, the county magistrate, master, book office, and catcher felt suspicious. They wondered why these servants threw the wooden box containing the crickets on the ground at will. Could it be that the surname Ji knew that his crickets were outnumbered and gone Fighting spirit, his servants also know that they will be defeated, so they can't throw the wooden box around? Just when the magistrate and others were in doubt, they saw those servants take out the gleaming steel knife from the box, and pointed at it. Zhixian and others rushed over."

Murong Danyan clapped his hands when the shopkeeper said this, and said with a smile: "Wonderful! Wonderful! This good man surnamed Ji is really a smart person. If he thinks about it, he has long thought about dealing with the magistrate, the dog official, but the county magistrate The guards are strict, and it is more difficult to bring people into the yamen to kill the dog officer. Unexpectedly, the dog officer wanted to die by himself, and he became obsessed with fighting crickets. This hero surnamed Ji set up this plan. Taking advantage of the chance of gambling with the magistrate, he hid the steel knife in the wooden box, and brought twenty or thirty men into the magistrate's office. If it were normal, the police officers guarding the magistrate's office would never Let these good guys go in. It’s just that the magistrate is determined to win 1000 taels of silver, and those dog legs guarding the gate naturally dare not touch the magistrate’s bad luck, so they checked randomly and put these good guys in the yamen. Haha , The magistrate is a thief, he deserves to be in bad luck."

The shopkeeper and Humpty Humpty looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.After a while, the shopkeeper went on to say: "Everyone in the yamen knows that that day is the official day for the gambling match between the county magistrate and Uncle Ji. Whether it's a business trip or a quick arrest, everyone wants to see this big game. No one would have thought that someone would dare to come There was a disturbance in the yamen. Dozens of people were crowded in the lobby. Apart from the head arresters, there were only four or five police officers serving in the lobby. The twenty or thirty servants held shining steel knives and closed the gate first. The six people guarded the gate and the exit of the back door, and the rest of them rushed forward wielding steel knives, and drove Zhixian and others to the center of the hall.

"Seeing this situation, the county magistrate was terrified. Knowing that he had been fooled by Uncle Ji, he felt regretful. Those officials, wealthy businessmen, wealthy households and landlords were frightened out of their wits. They didn't know what happened. He is very tough, he still has a steel knife on his waist, so he was not afraid when he saw Uncle Ji's servant rushing up with a steel knife, and immediately drew his knife and rushed forward, wanting to fight the enemy."
