Chapter 84: Counterattack Countdown

Ma Laoliu finally inspected the dark county government office, changed into the constable's clothes, and prepared to go home. Usually, there were people on duty in the county government office, but in this extraordinary period, seeing that Yang Kai, the county magistrate, was not only a problem of losing his position, but also a problem of losing his life, so naturally no one would respect him anymore. The new county magistrate has not yet arrived, but there are always well-informed people in the county, and they have long known who they came.

Sheep have been released in the entire county government office, and everything has fallen into paralysis. Now there are crimes in the county town, and people are in panic. It is just dark and there is no one on the street.

Ma Laoliu thought that Yang Kai was a good county magistrate. At least, he did not poison the people. He came to Wuyi for nearly a year and tried several cases. He could do his job impartially. He did not turn the other party in the case because he was rich and powerful. Ma Laoliu heard that the family gave money, but it seemed that Yang Kai did not accept it.

In fact, Yang Kai did not charge money, but he looked down on this little money at that time. Li Ze gave him a big house and promised to give him a subsidy every year. The amount of this money was something Li Kai could never imagine. Since he had money and a house now, he began to think about becoming a master of Qingtian and earning a reputation.

He really didn't expect that it was this thought that Ma Laoliu admired him. When he was most desperate when his family was betrayal, this little constable gave him a little bit of warmth that was precious in the world.

Ma Laoliu walked out of the county government gate and was about to go home, the sound of horse hooves and neat footsteps suddenly sounded on the street. He looked at the other end of the street in shock.

Under the dim light on the county government gate, he suddenly found that the person riding on his horse was the county magistrate Yang Kai who left early this morning.

What surprised Ma Laoliu was that behind Yang Kai, there were several knights and countless soldiers wearing leather armored soldiers who were queuing in neatly.

Yang Kai turned over and dismounted, walked to Ma Laoliu, reached out and patted his shoulder, looked at the dark county government office, and asked, "You are the only one?"

Ma Laoliu nodded and said, "I'm ready to leave too."

Yang Kai smiled, "Don't go back now. Thank you for your hard work, go to the homes of the county magistrate, the sixth house chief, and all the yamen runners and constables, and say I will convene everyone's meeting tonight and must not be absent."

Ma Laoliu let out a slap, looked at the people behind Yang Kai, and realized something again.

"Remember, after you go, you will only say these few words, and there is no need to say much extra." Yang Kai reminded.

"What if they don't come?"

Yang Kai grinned and said, "Then they will never come. Go!"

"Yes." Ma Laoliu nodded repeatedly. The sky in Wuyi seemed to be changing again.

Seeing that Ma Laoliu was about to leave, Yang Kai grabbed him and stuffed his horse's reins into his hand: "Don't say I won't give them a chance, you ride on the horse. Speed ​​faster. No matter whether they come or not, you will come back immediately after you run. By the way, what's your name? You're just called Ma Laoliu?"

"My name is Ma Mingcheng, and I am the sixth one at home. Everyone calls me the sixth one."

"You have six more?" Yang Kai was a little surprised.

"There are only two sisters left, and the rest are not supported." Ma Laoliu felt a little sad. "I was poor in my early years."

Yang Kai nodded: "Go, do your best in the future and let everyone in your family live a good life."

Ma Laoliu left with a horse.

Yang Kai turned around and looked at Chen Bing, Chu Sheng, bowed and said, "Brother Chen, Brother Chu, please."

Chen Bing smiled and said, "This Ma Laoliu Ma Mingcheng has a wink. The cold stove is burning well. In the future, he will be developed with the magistrate Yang."

Yang Kai smiled and said, "If I can develop, I will not point at the young master. Please come in. Sorry, let me laugh at you."

"The warmth and coldness of human feelings are nothing more than that." Chen Bing said lightly: "When we were sent to follow the young master, we also saw the same face. However, thirty years from Hedong to Hexi, who can tell clearly? Maybe in the future, those who regard us as young people will never be able to rely on us in the future!"

The lights gradually lit up in the dark county government. Chen Bing and Chu Sheng used to work in the Jiedu Mansion. Compared with this small county government, the Jiedu Mansion had much more vigilance and stricter rules. When they arrived at the county government, they did not need Yang Kai's instructions, and they arranged the young and strong people they brought with them.

After a while, another team of young men left the county government gate and began patrolling the county town.

When Ma Laoliu came back, the county magistrate naturally did not come. They did not even let Ma Laoliu enter. Ma Laoliu is usually just an ordinary constable, but how could he have a severity in front of them? Even the heads who are usually in the county did not follow. However, some of the ordinary yamen runners had good relationships with Ma Laoliu. Ma Laoliu mentioned a few words openly and secretly, and some had some vision. Although Yang Kai was about to fall, the official documents had not been released yet, and the person who took over had not arrived yet. In name, Yang Kai was still the county magistrate. The heads of the heads of the county magistrate was not easy to move, but it was easy to deal with these ordinary yamen runners, and at least they could lose their jobs.

The county magistrates of the Bantou County were afraid that they would lose their jobs. This job didn't seem to be very strong, but there was a lot of money here. At least they could support their families and still have status in front of ordinary families in the county. They could just put more people in their own homes.

After Yang Kaiduan sat down, Chen Bing and Chu Sheng sat on both sides, and on both sides of the hall were full of fully armed soldiers. When the constables and yamen runners saw this scene, they all changed their faces and entered the lobby carefully. They wanted to stand at their original position, but now the soldiers have stood on those positions, so they can only stand in the middle of the lobby with uneasy look at Yang Kai who is in the head.

Yang Kai smiled and looked at the yamen runners who were less than half of them. After a while, he smiled and then his face turned solemn. He stood up and bowed to the people who came. Some of them bent over, and some knelt on one knee, which was so chaotic that "I dare not take it," "The county magistrate broke us and waited for us" rang in the lobby.

"These days, there are many rumors that I, Yang Kai, are going to be unlucky. No matter whether I, Yang Kai, are really, or not, but the official documents have not arrived for a day and the successor has not arrived for a day, then I, Yang Kai, will still be the county magistrate of Wuyi." Yang Kai's voice was cold, "You can still come today, even if you think that I, Yang Kai, is the county magistrate. This is not only a manifestation of abiding by laws and regulations, but also respect me, Yang Kai, and I, Yang, will not treat everyone with slightest treatment."

Speaking of this, he clapped his hands, and the two Yang family servants carried a box in. Yang Kai walked out of the hall and kicked the box open. The box was filled with yellow copper coins, which was probably hundreds of coins.

Looking at these copper coins, Yang Kai felt a little distressed. These were all his personal wealth. But today, he was destined to give up money.

"Everyone who has come is always there, take it yourself." Yang Kai waved his hand.

Many yamen runners looked at Yang Kai hesitantly.

"Ma Mingcheng, you take it first." Yang Kai said.

Ma Mingcheng strode upward, lifted Yiguan copper coins from the inside and stuffed them into his arms. Since someone had started, the other yamen runners came forward one by one, and each one took Yiguan. Half a box was left in the box.

Yang Kai turned around and said to Chen Bing: "Prince Chen, let's share the rest with other brothers. It's a cold day, everyone is still busy, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Bing secretly praised in his heart. At this time, Yang Kai was really good at being a human being. He bowed and said, "Then I will thank the county magistrate for my brothers."

Seeing the two soldiers carrying the remaining money from the box, Ma Mingcheng and the yamen runners looked at each other. The county lieutenant had not come at home, so where did this county lieutenant come from?

"Everyone, the former county magistrate and the county magistrate were absent for many days without reason, which caused the county government affairs to be abandoned, and the people suffered. Therefore, from now on, the county magistrate will be revoked and the two will be replaced by Chen Bing and Chu Sheng. Do you know?"

At this moment, the yamen runners had not understood the truth. County Magistrate Yang found a backer from somewhere, and he wanted to counterattack. Everyone looked at Ma Laoliu and Ma Mingcheng with gratitude.

Sure enough, Yang Kai continued: "The sixth house chief and the yamen runner-up constable who did not come today will not be used in the future."

Everyone couldn't help but feel awe.

"Everyone is doing things well. From now on, Ma Mingcheng will be the chief constable of Wuyi County. As for the six house managers who are vacant, I will re-arrange them next, and you all have opportunities. It depends on your performance."
