A knife in love

Chapter 2145
When Murong Danyan heard the shopkeeper say this, he couldn't help but startled, thinking to himself that although I don't have much time to roam the rivers and lakes, but I heard that the heroes of the rivers and lakes are chivalrous and will never let go of corrupt officials. The gold and silver treasures collected by corrupt officials were plundered and distributed to the poor people, and the corrupt officials were also beheaded to make an example of others.The magistrate of Wangqi County is greedy by nature, harms the people, and has his own way of death.This hero surnamed Ji has captured the county magistrate's group and got the money, so he should kill all these dog officials.Otherwise, after these heroes leave, the county magistrate will find ways to retaliate.I think the hero surnamed Ji said this on purpose so that the Zhixian gang would not fight desperately. When these people were negligent, they would kill all these villains.

When Murong Danyan was thinking about it, the shopkeeper continued to say: "The magistrate and the others were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart, how dare they say no? Besides, these officials are like mirrors in their hearts. A lot of silver taels have been paid, but as long as the black yarn cap is still there, the silver can be earned back. If the black yarn hat is lost, it will be more difficult to earn back the silver. Therefore, this matter must not be let the court censor and officials Know, otherwise the official position will not be guaranteed. The county magistrate and others were originally worried that the group surnamed Ji would not only rob the money, but also take their lives, but after hearing what the surname Ji said, they knew that this person did not dare to kill officials, but Threatening everyone not to spread the matter, lest the imperial court send a large army to kill. Both sides have their own fears, so it is best not to say anything about it.

"After Uncle Ji finished speaking, he led a group of people out of the lobby. Those who rode horses rode horses, and those who drove carts drove all the way out of the magistrate's yamen. After Uncle Ji went out, he called the leader of the police stationed outside the yamen and told them The magistrate and others are fighting crickets in the lobby, and outsiders are absolutely not allowed to come in to disturb them. If anyone dares to disobey the order, not only will they be beaten eighty times, but they will also be imprisoned. After three days, they will be sent in with food and drinks.

"The chief catcher heard what Uncle Ji said, although he was puzzled, but he knew that the county magistrate, master, book office, chief catcher and others were all greedy. Maybe after winning Uncle Ji's 1000 taels of silver, he was very interested in gambling. It is not unusual to continue gambling with other officials and wealthy businessmen without outsiders being disturbed. Therefore, he agreed without hesitation, and ordered his police officers not to enter the lobby, so as not to disturb the magistrate's gambling.

"Since Uncle Ji brought people into the yamen, more than a dozen hours have passed. Most of the people waiting outside the yamen to watch the excitement have dispersed, but there are still hundreds of idlers standing on the street outside the yamen, wanting to know about the gamble. Who wins and who loses."

When the shopkeeper said this, Murong Danyan suddenly smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, I don't know if you are among the hundreds of idlers?"

After Murong Danyan finished speaking, the shopkeeper's face was a bit embarrassed.He coughed dryly twice, forced a smile on his face, and said, "I was busy with business in the restaurant at that time, how could I have time to go outside the yamen to watch the excitement?"

When he said this, he paused for a while, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the short fat man.The short fat man snorted and said in a rough voice: "Yes, I was standing among those hundreds of idlers. It's just that I was getting impatient and was about to turn around and leave when I saw a group of people surnamed Ji Riding on a horse and driving a cart, they came out of the yamen. Someone whispered, when this group entered the yamen, they only carried four or five large wooden boxes. Why did they drive a carriage and ride a tall horse when they came out? Could it be that the county magistrate lost in a fight? Now, lose all the gold and silver treasures he collected to the surname Ji?"

When the short fat man said this, the shopkeeper said, "After the group of people surnamed Ji left, the policemen in the yamen guarded outside the yamen because the county magistrate didn't allow them to enter the lobby. No one dared to go to the lobby. They went to check it out. It wasn't until three days later that the chief of the police was really flustered by the wait and bravely went to the lobby to ask the magistrate. Only then did he realize that the magistrate's group was tightly tied up and thrown in the lobby. These three people He didn't eat or drink for a long time, and his body was tied tightly with ropes, so he could only defecate in his pants. In addition, there were two corpses in the lobby, so after opening the door, the smell in the lobby was suffocating, and people in the lobby wanted to vomit.

"Tolerance officers rushed into the lobby and rescued the magistrate and others. After the magistrate was rescued, he strictly ordered that this matter must not be spread. It's just that there are many people and mixed opinions, and this matter was finally known to the people. Naturally, everyone is gloating. Thinking of the embarrassment of Zhixian's group, many people couldn't help laughing out loud.

"But within a few days, the magistrate's office found all kinds of excuses to pay more taxes. Even my small restaurant, the tax was increased by 35%, and I had to pay an extra [-] taels of silver every year. Only then did everyone understand that the dog official of the magistrate He was robbed of a lot of money by Uncle Ji. He didn't dare to settle accounts with the gang named Ji, but wanted to seize the money back from the common people. During those days, Wangqi County was in chaos, and the Tolerance police were everywhere. People, forcing the people to pay money. If someone refuses to pay, they will be arrested and tortured in the yamen. Unless the family members use money to redeem the person, they will be put in prison and suffer endless torture."

When the shopkeeper said this, Murong Danyan couldn't bear it anymore, and said loudly: "Is there any law for this?! Even the green forest robbers are not as vicious as these dog officials! And the group of people surnamed Ji are nothing, I originally thought that they were heroes who robbed the money from the county magistrate and distributed it to the poor people. But after they took the money and left, the people in Wangqi County suffered a lot. It seems that this person He is not a good person either, he is the same as Zhixian and his group, they should all be damned!"

Hearing what Murong Danyan said, the shopkeeper couldn't help but glanced at the short fat man, then nodded, and said: "It was only later that we realized that Uncle Ji didn't join forces with the county magistrate for the people of Wangqi County at all. Right. He robbed the county magistrate and others of their money, and then went away with the money, but in the end it was the common people who were unlucky. I don’t know how many people lost their homes and their wives because of this.

"After the two foxes finished listening to the temple wishes, they just shook their heads and sighed, but didn't say much. It's just that since that day, many strange things have happened in Wangqi County. The magistrate's office will encounter thieves every now and then, and lose a lot of gold and silver The homes of some officials, wealthy businessmen, rich men, and big households inside and outside the city were also frequently robbed and suffered heavy losses, while money appeared in the homes of some poor people from time to time. These people are poor and have encountered some catastrophes. The family members were seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment, and they had no food or clothing due to natural and man-made disasters. In desperation, some planned to sell the dilapidated house, some planned to sell their sons and daughters, and some even had no way out and were planning to invest their whole family in River, self-immolation, hanging, so as not to be persecuted by the government and creditors, and die of humiliation. Therefore, the sudden appearance of money in the family is really indescribable."
