Chapter 51 - Zhaohuatai
The county government was surrounded for half an hour. When the surrounding scouts retreated, a sign was placed at the county government gate.
Since the White-Shirt Army entered the city and the county magistrate ran away, this is the second time the county government has put on a sign.
The first time I put the signboard was to receive rations according to the household registration booklet.
What is this second chapter?
People who had good things had come over, writing them clearly in black and white, but they didn't know what was written on it.
A boy from childhood was called over and read the notice to everyone, and everyone understood what was going on.
"Hehe! Lust? I don't know what kind of lust is it?"
"Drinking alcohol and eating meat?! It's a sin, Amitabha!"
"What is proof? I'll give rice and silver?"
"If you don't make up lies, it's probably true."
"Then I, Wang Da, know, this scholar Zhou kicked the widow's door in the middle of the night and gave birth to a private child. We met several times in front and back yards!" He said it quickly.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
A young man walked towards the gate of the yamen with a few steps, and shouted in a duck's voice: "I have shown evidence that Zhou Xiucai had committed the precept of sexual abuse by stealing a widow and raising an illegitimate child. There is a witness by the neighbor Wang Da!"
Before he finished speaking, two scouts came out and pulled the boy in.
The people watching the fun looked at each other.
"Damn, who is forcing the child to rob me of evidence!" The quick-mouthed man reacted and was indignant.
"Who knows whether the notice is fooling people? It may be said that it is to block the disaster for you!" someone comforted him.
The quick-mouthed man pointed at the county government gate: "Is this a disaster?"
Everyone looked at the county government gate. The young man just now came out of the county government with a cloth pocket in his arms, looking at everyone with a look of thieves.
The quick-mouthed man couldn't help but step forward and pulled the cloth bag: "** boy, rob me of evidence, this is my rice!"
The boy refused to put it on, and he tore the handfuls in two strokes, and the cloth bag squeaked open, and the golden millet scattered all over the ground.
The onlookers couldn't care about the excitement, their eyes were stuck to the millet. Those who were close to each other had already squatted down and those who were far away came up.
The quick-mouthed man was about to curse, but the young man shouted: "Come on, someone is robbing food!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Tadadadada", the sound of running from far to near, and a county soldier with a spear came.
Those who took the opportunity to steal rice and rob rice were very tactful and were several feet away from the "scene".
Next to the millet on the ground, there was the quick-mouthed man and the boy.
"What's going on? Someone dares to grab food in the street?" County soldiers and asked with a frown.
"Official, it's this person who stole my millet!" The young man pointed to the quick-mouthed accusation.
The man with a quick mouth was pointed at by a spear and stuttered: "This...is not a rob...it was this kid who robbed me of evidence...I saw that Zhou Xiucai stole the widow...it should have been rewarded for me..."
Nash glanced at the long eye and told the notice: "What should you be? If you go late, you blame that? What did you do earlier!"
The man with a quick mouth turned red and couldn't speak. The boy was already squatting on the ground and scratching the millet, pretending to be snatching it, as if he was afraid that someone would rob it, so he carried the cloth bag and ran away.
The plaintiff ran away, and there was nothing wrong with the defendant.
The county soldiers looked around and warned: "If someone robs grain or reward silver in the street, they will be punished severely!"
The people are submissive.
Only when the soldiers from all the county left did someone react.
This "proof" is also about coming first and then coming, and the county government obviously recognized it as coming first.
A few people who knew some of the reasons were impatient to enter the county government.
I only watched the fun and saw something else.
"Why is the county government still in charge of real believers and fake believers? It was the Quyang White Shirt Army's picket again? What's going on?"
"Who has the final say in the county?"
"Isn't it that County Magistrate Deng? It's just County Magistrate Deng drove the Baishan Army away!"
"It's not that the White-Shirt Army is here again, right?"
"Whether the soldiers or white-shirted soldiers of his county are not the final decision."
"I wish I had a bucket of millet like the kid just now!"
The gate of Quyang County has been opened, and people cannot stop entering and leaving.
But the gentry had been plundered, and the people's family background was even thinner. They all received daily rations based on household registration booklets. Even if they wanted to leave, they would not be able to use it on the road.
Now that this reward for rice has attracted many people to be excited.
Even those who didn't know the reason were inquired everywhere.
When Shuanzhu's family received news and brought his family to the yamen to plead with him, Shuanzhu's "five precepts" were broken. Together with other "fake believers", he put on a shackle and showed it to the county yamen.
The thirty-six "fake believers" were all stalked.
White paper was pasted on the shackle board, and the precepts that everyone committed were written on it.
This shackle is an old object in the yamen. A pair of shackles weighs thirty-five pounds, pressing heavily on their shoulders, and even the straight waist is bent.
What's more, the violation of the precepts written on the white paper is not a nonsense, but a fact of investigation.
"Hey, that's Zhou Xiucai. His lower eyelids are swollen. He doesn't look like a serious person. He even has a private child!"
"This man named Deng is not a good person. He has been ill-handed since he was a child and has stole several book shops. He is really a habitual thief."
"Haha, that's Gao Gou'er, who was born in the Tu family and a rich man from the East Street. After quitting the pork stall, he still couldn't bear to leave his ancestral property. He often killed chickens and dogs. Isn't he just committing the 'killing precept'?"
"The leash on the side is not a good thing. If you don't learn how to beat a little thief, you will know that you can peek at a woman who is peeing, and it's not a thing."
The people watching the fun pointed and were so embarrassed that these people were shattered and angry. With the reward of a bucket of millet and five taels of silver, others just peeled them off.
No one is a saint. He speaks improperly on weekdays and can always find two or three things that are unvirtuous after being drunk.
What's more, even the matter of stealing a few green apricots next door when he was a child and asking his aunt to eat her grandmother's quilt.
Who doesn’t talk about others behind their backs, and who doesn’t talk about others behind their backs.
This is something that ordinary people can't stand.
Even if they could bear it, they couldn't tell it. Everyone had big walnuts stuffed into their mouths.

In the lobby of the county government office, Huo Bao was unceremonious and sat in the middle.
The Fifty Scouts, Huo Bao and Hou Xiaoming were led by the 50th Scouts, stood in line with each other, majestic.
In the lobby, there were about twenty people standing, all of whom were the families of "fake believers" outside. The heads were the parents who were shunted, Zhang San's sister and brother-in-law.
The old couple both look honest and honest, but their words are not soft.
"Young Master Chou, Shuanzhu was fooled by those sour things. He joined in the fun. He was still a child. Let his uncle deal with him!" Brother Zhang bowed.
They are all businessmen, and this sentence means several meanings.
Huo Bao didn't grind his teeth, but said, "Don't worry, dig tunnels into the county soldiers' camp and hide things that cause fire. This is not a trivial matter. It's not a small matter, and it's not my junior, who is the decision. Naturally, I have to wait for my cousin to come back to deal with it!"
Brother-in-law Zhang smiled and said, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings! Even if others have bad intentions, they won't be tied up. His biological uncle is also inside. Can he still harm his biological uncle? This child was designated to be cheated."
"Outsiders conspire to rebellion is a way of dealing with it; when you rebellion is a way of dealing with it, it is another way of dealing with it... You will never confuse your relatives and distant places, don't worry!"
Brother Zhang was so blocked that he couldn't speak, so he winked at his wife.
Sister Zhang immediately sat on the ground, patted her thighs and cried, "My God, please take me away... A good child is taken away by drinking. What kind of real and fake believers? Our family is the only seedling, who would have let him become a monk? Now he is a fake believer, and drinking and eating meat has become a sin. Where can people reason about this?!"
If it were a vicious shrew, no one would sympathize with singing and meditating like this, but the woman looked honest and had no swear words. She only thought of her own grievances and innocentness, which would seem particularly pitiful.
Everyone looked at Huo Bao together.
This eldest sister Zhang is not an ordinary civilian woman, but the sister of Zhang San, the county magistrate’s confidant.
Zhang San's parents died early and followed his sister as a child. When his brother-in-law grew up, he could be said to be like a mother.
Since Huo Bao is a junior, he should not be "indifferent" when he sees the county magistrate?
Unless Zhang San falls!
Could it be that the authenticity, tincture oil and other things mentioned by Huo Bao just now is really Zhang San’s backup plan?
Everyone was worried.
The King of Hell fights, the little ghost suffers, and the county magistrate and Zhang Sanzhen are going to have an internal strife. Who knows what the fight will be like?
Huo Bao and Hou Xiaoming were all in front of Huo Bao, and saw Huo Bao there, slapping his fingers on the table with his lips slightly as if he was watching a big show.
The two raised their ears and listened carefully.
