Chapter 429 Seeking death and persuading people to return
Kang County Magistrate asked: "But Wu Lichang is dead, and there is no Lichang in the west of the town. How should we arrange spring plowing now?"
Wu Liukui listened, He almost went crazy with excitement... Wuwuwu, he had been waiting for decades to finally become the village chief, and finally be able to take charge of the life and death of 40% of the villagers in Taifeng Town. Thank you ancestors!
Wu Liukui secretly bit the tip of his tongue and let the pain dissipate the excitement. Then he cleared his throat and started talking about his grand arrangements for spring plowing: "Spring plowing is a major event for the country. I think that each village should send people to the village every day. The chief will report on the progress..."
Kang County Magistrate is extremely regretful. He should not have given the Wu family a chance to speak. Look what the fart is all about.
Spring plowing is busy, and every household is short of manpower. This idiot has to allocate manpower and report every day?
Why don't you let the emperor go to court with his ministers?
I can’t bear it anymore.
"Come here, capture Wu Liukui and other Wu family elders and their children, and throw them into prison!"
At the command, a group of government officials and soldiers rushed in, ignoring the Wu family's calls, and they were thrown into prison in twos and threes! He grabbed the Wu family and pushed them to the ground like pigs.
"Sir, sir, what do you say this? The young man is a good citizen. He has not broken any laws, so he cannot be arrested!" Wu Liukui said in horror as he was going crazy with fear.
He also asked for help from Feng Xian Cheng: "Xian Cheng, help me. I am Wu Liukui. I went to see you with my brother."
Feng Xian Cheng's face turned dark and he called Peng Bantou : "Make a mistake If you don’t admit it, you still talk to the yamen officials and beat me. Kill this arrogant person who rebels against the people!” Peng Bantou came forward with the yamen servants, holding a short stick and pointing at him. The Wu family was beaten.
Bang bang bang bang, the Wu family was beaten until they were screaming, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they kept begging for mercy.
It wasn't until Magistrate Kang raised his hand in satisfaction that Feng County Cheng spoke up and asked Bantou Peng and the others to stop.
Wu Liukui and the others cried in pain.
Feng Xiancheng said again: "Your Wu family, Chief Wu, used his power to amass wealth, oppressed villagers, and harmed girls. The evidence of his crimes is conclusive. Your Wu family's reputation has reached the city. The Wu family is not worthy of serving as the chief. position , after negotiation by the yamen, the new village chief of the Xili Office in Taifeng Town will be taken over by the old village chief of the Zhou family. "
A bolt from the blue, the position of the village chief is gone, and the hidden benefits attached to this position are also gone. Gone!
Wu Liukui and the children of the Wu family were going crazy. They ignored the pain and shouted: "Sir, Mr. Wu was at fault, but their father and son have already paid for it with their lives."
"Our Wu family is still of great use. Our Wu family is a big village. The total number of large and small families is nearly 2,000, and there are hundreds of young adults alone. As long as the yamen gives an order, the children of the Wu family can work for the yamen. The army envoy. The Zhou family's population is not large enough. At this time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help the yamen!”
The yamen and the military department are seriously short of manpower. When things happen, especially when there are bandits or wars, they need help from the rich families in the countryside, and people Many, they are the guard of honor of their Wu family!
Unfortunately, County Magistrate Kang just sneered and asked: "Are you threatening the Yamen?!"
Hearing this, Master Lu immediately said: "The elders of the Wu family and their children threatened the court and violated the law. Punishment law, come here, drag these traitors to prison and wait for punishment!"
I have already said that according to the charges, he is a professional, but this Wu family still wants to die.
"Yes!" The government officials and soldiers immediately stepped forward and grabbed the Wu family.
The Wu family did not cooperate and were beaten again. Several Wu family children fainted.
“Drag them away!” The government officials and soldiers dragged away more than 20 Wu family members and threw them into prison.
The Kong and Miao families trembled when they saw it... The power of the Yamen's killing was not something they, the local cowards in the countryside, could withstand.
The room was silent. After they knew they were afraid, County Magistrate Kang looked at the Kong and Miao families and asked, "If you have any objections to old village chief Zhou being the new head of the Zhenxi Li Office, can you? Just say it.”
The Wu family's chicken had just been slaughtered and the blood had not yet dried. How could they dare to object?
Kong Lichang and Miao Lichang stood up quickly and said with great respect: "The Wu family has committed crimes and is not worthy of being the chief. Brother Zhou's family has a good reputation. We support Brother Zhou and the Yamen... County Magistrate Your Excellency is wise!”
Yes. , County Magistrate Kang was satisfied: "The Wu family is arrogant, please help Chief Zhou, don't let Chief Zhou be bullied by the Wu family."
Kong and Miao were shocked... The Wu family Arrogant, being judged like this by the county magistrate, the Wu family is completely doomed!
And if they don’t want the Kong and Miao families to end up like the Wu family, they have to be more obedient.
"Yes, I obey, little one!" Kong and Miao knelt down. Chief Lu also stood up to show that the Lu family supported Mr. Zhou.
Congratulations to Village Chief Zhou again: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou."
Grandpa Qin was very happy and stood up to salute and congratulate: "Brother Zhou, congratulations. ”
Brother Zhou has become the head of the village, so his family can sleep more peacefully at night.
"We are all happy together. From now on, we all will work together to lead the folks in Taifeng Town to make more money and do more good deeds." Village Chief Zhou stood up and returned the gift to everyone.
The house was full of fun, but Wu Liukui and the others were in misery. They were thrown into a cell, injured, starved and cold.
Wu Liukui was old, and when he was frightened and injured, he quickly developed a fever, yelling "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh," and even saw Wu Lichang coming to pick him up.
“Gungungun, I don’t have a brother of your race. I won’t go with you, so get out of here!”
Kang County Magistrate just wants to suppress the Wu family and make the Wu family not give up. The head of the new village was looking for trouble and did not want to kill them, so the yamen sent a doctor to see Wu Liukui and gave him medicine to save him.
After Wu Liukui woke up, he didn't dare to think about anything. He just wanted to return to the village quickly: "Master Cha, please help me to send a message to the county magistrate, saying that our Wu family knows that we are wrong, and we will be safe and sound in the future. We dare not go back to the village again." Xiao Xiangli has a long position.”
Other Wu family members also cried. Pleading: "We know we were wrong and we don't dare anymore. Please beg the Yamen to let us go home!"
The jailer scolded: "Shut up, if you yell again, you will never get out for the rest of your life!"
< br>After hearing this, the Wu family members did not dare to scream and hid in a corner of the cell like rats.
The cell leader still reported the matter of Wu Liukui and others to the Kang County Magistrate.
County Magistrate Kang said: "The time has not come yet, keep locking it up."
The time that Magistrate Kang said is to wait until all the people in Wujia Village know that they are afraid.
When something happens to a clan in the countryside, the whole village will come to ask for an explanation.
As for Wujia Village, nearly a thousand people have arrived at the gate of the county.
They were called by Wu Liukui.
Wu Liukui's original plan was to recommend himself first. If the yamen didn't let him become the head of the village, then let the yamen see how big the Wu family's children were!
He believed that after meeting the Wu family children in Wuyangyang, the Yamen would definitely compromise and let the Wu family continue to be the head of the village.
Unfortunately, how can he compare with County Magistrate Kang with his little pig brain?
He was sent to jail for just one charge and almost lost his life.
Kong Lichang and Miao Lichang had good relations with the Wu family. They had already known about Wu Liukui's plan, and originally thought this old method of putting pressure was good. But at this moment, they panicked.
For fear of being implicated by the Wu family, they hurriedly reported to Feng County Magistrate.
Feng Xiancheng was ready to kill them: "A bunch of idiots, I would rather help you than help a few lumps of mud!"
After Feng Xiancheng slapped them both in the mouth , hurriedly reported to Kang County Magistrate.
Kang County Magistrate just said: "Anyone who disobeys the Yamen's orders is a traitor to the people. According to the law, he can be shot on the spot!"
Damn, the children of powerful families are not human beings after all. The attack was more ruthless than him... At least he came quietly, but County Magistrate Kang killed him openly.
The old village chief Zhou also heard the news and took the initiative to come to the Yamen to ask for orders. After meeting with County Magistrate Kang, he said: "Sir, I am their chief and have the responsibility of admonishing them. Please let me try it. I will persuade them to go home.”
