"Are you all working for a living?! Don't stop me! Fight them all out." The county magistrate looked at the people rushing into the county office crazily, completely forgetting that the prefect was still here, and became furious. He yelled at the government officials.
The government officials trembled, then picked up their weapons and pushed the people who came in out.
"Master Prefect! Please make the decision for us!"
"Master Prefect!"
The common people were no match for the government officials armed with swords and sticks. They were forced to retreat continuously. The people in front were forced out. The people behind could not see the situation in front. They also shouted and rushed forward. Many people were Pushed down.
For a moment, the scene became chaotic, with the people's cries of injustice, the officials' expulsion and curses, and the pained cries of the people who were pushed to the ground mixed together.
"Master Cao, what do you mean by this? Not only will the people's grievances be ignored, but they will also be beaten out?" Suddenly, the prefect came to his senses and patted the table heavily with a sullen face.
The county magistrate was startled, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he cursed inwardly. He turned around and cupped his hands hypocritically towards the magistrate: "Aren't you afraid that these unscrupulous people will hurt you? I was in a hurry and chose the wrong words."
"What a moment of impatience, what a misnomer! Is there something going on that I'm afraid I would know about?" The prefect stared coldly at the county magistrate.
Before the county magistrate could continue to quibble, Shangguan Yunfeng leaned down and picked up the gavel thrown by the magistrate just now. He walked forward thoughtfully and placed it in front of the prefect.
After placing the gavel, Shangguan Yunfeng avoided the eyes of those around him and gave the prefect a look without leaving any trace.
The prefect nodded slightly with understanding and slapped the gavel tree fiercely: "Here comes someone! Let the people in. I am here today. If you have any grievances, feel free to come and avenge them!"
When the officials in the hall heard this, they turned around to look at the county magistrate and then the prefect in embarrassment. For a moment, they didn't know whose order to follow.
They naturally know that the prefect has greater power, but they are all on duty under the county magistrate. If they obey the magistrate, they will definitely offend the prefect. If they obey the prefect, the magistrate will not let them go after the magistrate leaves.
The prefect simply laughed out of anger and stared at the county magistrate meaningfully: "Master Cao's skills in controlling his subordinates really amaze me."
The county magistrate's pupils shrank and his brain was working rapidly. Of course he heard what the prefect meant, but he must not let these people in today. Otherwise, if his daily affairs were known to the prefect, his official career would be over. .
But after all, if the official level is overwhelming, if you can't stop it, you can only...
The county magistrate gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and quietly made a gesture to his confidants as if he had made up his mind.
After seeing this, his confidants turned around and left calmly.
Shangguan Yao, who had been paying attention to the county magistrate's actions, naturally did not miss the county magistrate's little moves. The sleeves shook slightly, and a micro tracker came out of her sleeves and flew after the county magistrate's henchman who had just left.
"Little Phoenix!" Unable to enter the space in front of everyone, Shangguan Yao could only contact Little Phoenix through his spiritual consciousness.
"What's wrong? Woman, do you miss me?" Little Phoenix's voice sounded as shy as ever.
"Ah, yes, yes, please help me." Since Little Phoenix couldn't see, Shangguan Yao rolled her eyes.
"Tell me! Who makes me willing to help others?"
"It's not convenient for me to enter the space now. Please help me open the computer on the table in my villa. Pay attention to the images sent back by the tracker. If you find anything, let me know."
"Okay, Prince, please help me!" Little Phoenix said scornfully.
The veins on Shangguan Yao's forehead throbbed, and he gritted his teeth and yelled at Little Phoenix in his consciousness: "Are you playing with my computer? Stop watching some messy videos if you have nothing to do!"
"I want you to take care of it! You don't understand the world of handsome boys. Tell me, prince, please help me!" The little Phoenix stomped his claws in the space unhappily.
"...Prince, please help me." Shangguan Yao whispered helplessly.
"What? I can't hear it! Louder!" Little Phoenix flapped its wings twice proudly, tilted its head, but still did not move.
"Oh." Shangguan Yao moved his neck, and then said lightly to the little phoenix: "You can't hear it, it doesn't matter. They say that a phoenix without hair is not as good as a chicken. I'm really curious about what a phoenix without hair looks like. , when I have time to enter the space, I will definitely love you well."
The little phoenix was so frightened that he almost lost his balance. He folded his wings vigilantly and rushed toward the villa with his tail between his legs. He said with a flattering smile: "Oh, you're just kidding, I'll go there right away." , go now.”
When Shangguan Yao saw Little Phoenix staring at the screen, he withdrew his consciousness and focused on the situation in front of him.
The county magistrate insisted that it was for the safety of the prefect that he would not let the government officials let the people in.
The prefect silently watched the county magistrate's quibbling, without saying a word, and looked outside as if waiting for someone.
Shangguan Yao frowned slightly and his eyes were full of doubts. The appearance of this prefect was too coincidental, as if he came specially to help them out.
Before Shangguan Yao could be confused for too long, a group of people in official uniforms rushed in from outside and forcefully pulled aside the government officials who were blocking the people. The government officials still wanted to resist, but they were held up by bright swords. neck. The group of people who came were none other than the soldiers of the magistrate's mansion.
Seeing his reinforcements arriving, the prefect looked down at the county magistrate with a smile: "Since I can't give orders to Lord Cao and his subordinates, I can only give orders to my own subordinates. I'm sure Lord Cao won't mind." Bar?"
There is a road to heaven but you don’t take it, and there is no door to hell but you break in. Since you insist on having trouble with me, then don’t blame me.
The county magistrate looked at the sky outside and estimated that it was almost time. The person he sent to report the message had probably arrived.
For a while, give them all to me and go to hell!
"What did you say, sir? Since your safety is guaranteed, I naturally have no objection." After saying that, the county magistrate stepped aside without changing his expression.
Looking at everyone coldly and complaining? Go ahead and sue her. So what if everything you did is exposed? So what if he pleads guilty and is jailed? They are just a group of dying people. Is it possible that the dead can still speak?
"Sir, please make the decision for the women! Three months ago, my daughter went to the street to buy cloth. The county magistrate took a fancy to her and took her away forcibly with the government officials. So far, there is no news!" The woman with a haggard face and a thin body was the first to rush over, and with a shovel, she knelt on the ground.
"Sir, the same goes for Cao Min's granddaughter. She was already engaged, but the county magistrate forced her into the house and took my granddaughter away. Cao Min's family is very thin, and she only has one granddaughter, sir!" Another one! The gray-haired old man followed closely and knelt down tremblingly.
"Me too, my sister was also taken away by the county magistrate!"
"And I, my wife, who is already two months pregnant, have not escaped the clutches of the county magistrate. He is not a human being!"
"Sir, my daughter was also taken away by the county magistrate. In order to protect his sister, my son was beaten to death with sticks by the county magistrate and fed to the dogs. Sir, the only motivation for me to live is to watch this culprit. Subdue the law! Sir! Sir, please observe clearly!"
……
One after another, the people knelt on the ground, and one after another the crimes committed by the county magistrate were exposed.
The more the magistrate listened, the darker his face became. Finally, his face turned as dark as if he could draw ink. He looked at the county magistrate: "Master Cao, are what the people say true?"
"Of course it's false. Do they have any evidence? It's a completely false accusation." The county magistrate glanced at the people in the hall with disdain and denied it.
He knew that with empty words and no evidence, even the prefect could not justly convict him. Although he was only a county magistrate, he was also an official of the court. To convict him, he must have enough evidence.
According to the laws of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, witnesses cannot be direct relatives of the parties concerned. Even if there were witnesses at the time, who would take risks and go against officials for the sake of irrelevant passers-by or neighbors? Since ancient times, people have He did not fight with officials, so the county magistrate did not panic at all.
"Sir, I have evidence!" Shangguan Yao said loudly with anger in her voice after hearing the information from Little Phoenix.
