Chapter 8 Yamen

Seeing everyone getting up and constantly wiping their tears, Zhang Tiedan helped Zhang County Chief trembling on the ground and said, "Brother, I heard from Master Chai that you and I are scholars of the same year. You gave up even the juren for the sake of the people of Beiliu County. I know this kind of heart."

"In the future, I will manage Beiliu County well and get rid of this abominable bandit. Without your help, it would never be possible. I would like to ask my brother and I to take on the rude behavior we just waited for."

After saying this call, County Chief Zhang trembled even harder, but he was moved. There were suddenly two tears on his dark face, and he was crying in a daze.

"Grand, sir, I'm waiting for you so hard. You don't know that the bandits on the mountain have become more and more rampant in the past two years. They go down the mountain to plunder every few days and ask the people to pay them food."

"The people in the city were dead and fleeing. There were originally more than 10,000 people, but in the past two years, it has reached more than 3,000 people. It is not as good as a large village in Rong County. The mansion also lets bandit suppression every day. So, I, too, ah-."

As he said that, he started crying again, and everyone felt nervous, wiping their tears one by one. Li Tiedan finally comforted him and wrote Zhao Dafu's flogging in the tent first, which made everyone disperse. By the time he arrived at the county government, it was already three o'clock.

I saw that the county government office in the evening became more and more mottled. The courtyard gate, which was no one repaired for many years, was already dilapidated. The dense spider webs swayed in the breeze. When I looked at it suddenly, I thought I had arrived at a haunted house in the deserted village.

"Sir, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Seeing Du Chuan bringing everyone in to clean up, Old Chai Mi glared and said quietly.

"Chai Bo, you are my husband and my master. Just say anything."

Lao Chai bowed his hand and seemed very polite. Perhaps from today on, he recognized Li Tiedan, the county magistrate. "Sir, as the saying goes, people do not have faith but do not have power, and officials do not have power but do not have success. Being close to the people is good, but there must be a limit."

"Take it before, you can just take out the county magistrate and make a case on the spot. Why bother to pretend to be a young man in a low voice, and take this completely unnecessary risk."

Lao Chai paused, and a light of fear flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "If Chen Qi and Wang Laoer were not smart enough, if someone took away the official uniform and documents in the chaos, today the three of us would have been killed by everyone as bandits."

Li Tiedan did not answer immediately. He just faintly felt that his thoughts were incompatible with the ancient master in front of him, or the entire world.

If you think about it carefully, this feudal hierarchy should be the feudal hierarchy, and this one is exactly what he hates the most. He always thought that officials and the people were not all human beings, so what is the difference between high and low?

What he relies on was not the identity of the county magistrate, but the righteousness in his heart, which was also the most important thing in his life, which allowed him to live to this day.

He believed that in this world, he would still live for this righteousness. Of course, now is not the time to say this, he just nodded and said, "Brother Chai, I will pay attention in the future."

Lao Chai shook his head and said meaningfully: "I don't see that you understand what I mean. Sir, once you step into the door of this county government, you will be a real county magistrate. The past and others in other places will change."

"From today, you can't call me Cai Bo, you can only call me Shi Shi, including Du Chuan, and you can't call him Brother Du. I see that although he is a rough person, he is a good person and has loyalty."

"He followed us all the way, and the bandits have experienced a lot. You should give him a name. I just asked County Magistrate Zhang that the leader of the presiding was killed by the bandits. I will give him a leader to be a leader, and call him a leader in the future."

Li Tiedan nodded. This was also his thought, "Okay, Master Chai, I will listen to you, let's go in."

An elusive look flashed in Master Chai's eyes, he nodded, made a call, and said politely: "Sir, please!"

Li Tiedan was stunned for a moment, then he tidied up and walked in. He saw weeds everywhere in the county government, broken wooden windows and broken walls, and fell to the ground randomly. A wild bird was startled by everyone and flew in all directions.

The court among them was a wooden house, which was quite neat. At this moment, Chen Qi was brushing the open sign. When he saw Li Tiedan walking in, he hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Sir, I'm talking too much just now, and I'm not easy to say something. I want to tell you some private words."

As he said that, he looked at Master Chai.

When Li Tiedan saw Chen Qi's seriousness, he couldn't help but feel moved. Everyone said that there was an old man in his family, as if he had a treasure. Chen Qi was already sixty years old this year, so he must know many secret matters in the county.

"Uncle Chen, it's okay. Mr. Chai is his own person. Just say whatever you have."

Chen Qi then bowed his hand, looked at the open sign and said, "Sir, you have to be careful of County Magistrate Zhang."

Li Tiedan was shocked and felt that there seemed to be too many secrets in her faint eyes. She hurriedly asked: "Uncle Chen, why do you say that?"

"Sir!" Chen Qi knelt down on the ground, "Today I saw that you were not arrogant and didn't regard me as a bad guy. I told you about this. It was not because County Magistrate Zhang misjudged the case that I slandered him."

Li Tiedan hurriedly said, "Uncle Chen, you misunderstood. I am not questioning you, but feeling confused. Get up and talk carefully."

Chen Qi then got up, looked outside the door, and whispered: "Sir, you don't know anything. My house is next door and I often pass by here. This county magistrate Zhang always likes to run to the county government."

"Once, the old man, I was curious for a moment, so I quietly came in and saw him sitting on the adult's chair, judging the case below, and talking to the county one by one."

Li Tiedan felt cold behind her back, and she couldn't help but think of Zhang Yide's biggest words now. She became suspicious of this man, but said, "Old Mr. Zhang, this county magistrate was the chief officer of the county magistrate, nothing strange."

"By the way, have you heard of anything else? For example, how many of them are there? Apart from the boss Huang Jinbiao, what are the names of the other bosses?"

A trace of anger flashed in Chen Qi's eyes and he coughed, "Our place is close to Tongshi Mountain and Goulu Mountain, so the bandits are divided into two groups."

"The first group is Goulushan. There are about 600 people. In addition to the boss Huang Jinbiao, there are also the second boss Huang Jinhu. They are two brothers. The third boss is called Dai Xianzhi, and the fourth boss is called Song Guozhu. These four people are old team members."

"Just half a year ago, two more groups of people came, one of them was Japanese pirates. I heard that the head was a woman named Chunshui Xiuzi. She was so sexy that she was so charming that she was so confused by the two brothers of Jinbiao."

"The other group of heads is called Liu Quande, with a face full of pockmarks. The man also called him Liu Mazi. He is a small anti-representative leader in Xunzhou. With them, there is also a Tang Daniu. I heard that there are more than 30 people under him, and he went to Tongshishan to join the boss there."

Seeing Chen Qi's mouth dry mouth, Li Tiedan hurriedly interrupted: "Then how many people are there in Tongshi Mountain, what is the name of the master, and how many masters are there?"

A look of defense suddenly flashed in Chen Qi's eyes, and he shook his head, "This, this old man doesn't know much. Sir, if you are fine, I'll go out to help you clean up the back hall first."
