Chapter 1076 Changping County Lord 24
The slave was knocked to the ground, covering his cheek, mouth dripping, and sat on the ground unable to react for a while.
An older man went over and knelt down to check. Fortunately, it was just a flesh injury. He raised his head and shouted: "The officers and soldiers are robbing sheep and beating people!"
This is great. There were originally a lot of people watching, but now there are even more people. When many people in the surrounding shops heard this, they dropped their work and goods and ran out to watch the fun.
"How dare you hit the servant of the Lord of Changping County!" Xiao Zhan was young and energetic, so he ran over and grabbed the soldier.
Just as he was about to punch back with his fist already raised, he heard someone yelling: "Stop!"
Xiao Zhan took a look and saw that Butler Lin was back.
When Butler Lin saw something was wrong, he walked up quickly and pulled Xiao Zhan away: "Stop, do you hear me? Let go!"
He is the steward, and Butler Lin is the team leader. The county leader said that he should obey Butler Lin in everything. Xiao Zhan could only let go of his hand angrily.
Butler Lin saluted to the chamberlain: "May I ask your lord what position you have in the palace."
The servant sneered: "Why do you know so much about our family? Today I was ordered to buy a sheep. Other people's sheep cost 900 yuan a piece, but your family is better, 2 taels of silver a piece. Even if it is the sheep of the Changping County Lord. , you didn’t grow up eating ginseng and deer antlers, right?”
There were people around who laughed happily. It was a good show for one's own family members to meet one's own family members.
The waiter continued angrily: "Such a huge profit, the price is high and the goods are empty, it is suspected of fraud. You should still accept the money, otherwise, you will not suffer the consequences."
"You!" Xiao Zhan became angry again.
"Hey~" Steward Lin blocked Xiao Zhan, and then saluted to the eunuch: "Since the eunuch is here with an order, please give me the edict."
The waiter was startled, but he was used to it. Thinking that the Lord of Changping County was sent to the border, he probably wouldn't be seen by the King of Han, so he waved his sleeves: "It's an oral edict!"
Butler Lin immediately knelt down and said, "I would like to listen to your instructions!"
It's good now, huh la la and kneel down a lot. Of course Xiao Zhan also knelt down, secretly amused, Jiang is still old and hot, let's see how this scene ends.
The waiter felt something was wrong, and everyone around him knelt down.
If you say it, you are pretending to pass on the imperial edict; if you don't say it, it is a slap in the face. Now we are riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. It is impossible to say it, and it is impossible not to say it.
He was so angry that he pointed at Butler Lin, who was kneeling on the ground with trembling fingers: "You're such a naughty slave, I don't want to be the same as you today, so I'll take the sheep and leave!"
"Dare!" Xiao Zhan jumped up suddenly: "You are an unworthy and unruly slave. You go everywhere by force just because you are an internal official. How dare you even take advantage of the Changping County Lord's goods? Who dares to do so today? I will fight with him to lead the sheep.”
Butler Lin grabbed Xiao Zhan and lowered his voice: "Whether a good man suffers the immediate loss or not, it is the Tian family's own business. Even if you complain afterwards, don't waste your life."
When Xiao Zhan heard this, most of his anger was gone. Yes, there are just over forty sheep. It’s not worth losing your life for the sheep.
The chamberlain thought that the other party was afraid, and sneered triumphantly: "Take them all away!"
"Wait a minute!" someone suddenly shouted.
I saw an official with a gray beard wearing a black official uniform and riding a horse dismounted.
Now the chamberlain panicked. This person was Liu Biao, the imperial censor.
Sangong and Jiuqing, the Yushi doctor supervises all administrative activities of the officials and ministers, ranking among the three Gongs. Originally, this kind of speech was the most troublesome, and Liu Biao was even more troublesome. Liu Biao is the direct grandson of the great ancestor and a veteran of the four dynasties. When the emperor sees him, he will be addressed as uncle.
He was upright and upright. If he didn't get a response to anything he reported, he would kneel in front of the palace and wait, as if he was going to die on his knees if he didn't get a satisfactory answer.
When the late emperor was still alive, he neglected the prince because he liked a certain prince. He went to kneel down and said that the prince is the heir apparent. How can a prince cultivate his young son without caring about the prince? As time goes by, the prince will have evil thoughts, but he will depose the master and establish a child, which will cause turmoil in the court and is not good for the country.
Quoting from scriptures, it was so sonorous and powerful that the late emperor could only persuade this cousin of the same generation to go back by coaxing him and promising to work hard to cultivate the prince. As a result, the late emperor did not see the prince for half a month. From then on, he only went to see the prince once every time he saw the prince more than twice.
Liu Biao strode over, and Butler Lin quickly knelt down: "Lin Heqing, a common man, pays homage to Mr. Liu, the imperial censor."
Being in an officialdom, it is natural to know the good side of people. Liu Biao immediately remembered who it was: "Are you the steward of Changping County Lord?"
"It's just a common man." Butler Lin knelt down and reported back. Xiao Zhan and all the servants beside him knelt down.
Maybe he's not familiar with it? This morning when he went to court, he saw Butler Lin leading a man and driving five sheep through the side entrance of the palace. Still thinking about sending sheep instead of melons this time?
Xiao Zhan immediately complained: "Master Liu, the common people want to file a complaint!"
The chamberlain turned around and wanted to escape, but Liu Biao caught his attention, pointed his finger and shouted: "Stop him!"
After being stopped, Liu Biao said calmly: "Who just said that you came out to do things according to the order? Your Majesty ordered me to listen to it!"
"This, this..." The waiter's face turned pale and he was sweating.
Liu Biao's eyes focused and his face sank: "Okay, you dare to falsely preach the imperial edict and cause trouble and disturb the people. Did you manage the soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division? You even injured Li Shu. Let me tie him up!"
When the soldiers heard that something was not good, they quickly went up and tied up the servant.
The people all around cheered!
"Lin Heqing, as well as the relevant victims, will go with me." Liu Biao waved his broad sleeves: "Go to the official temple to complain!"
After all, Liu Biao was a decent person. Even if the head of Changping County was not here, he should still go to the official temple in the capital to file a complaint.
When the director of the Wucheng Military and Horse Department in the Capital Yamen heard someone complaining, a large number of people came and saw that Liu Biao, the imperial censor, was inside. He was so frightened that he immediately dropped his brush, got down from behind the case, and faced Liu Biao. Mark salute.
Hearing that his soldiers beat the steward of Changping County, he suddenly frowned: "Who told you to follow this guy to rob sheep?"
The leader of the kneeling soldiers quickly replied: "I was patrolling the city and happened to run into this chamberlain. He said that he was out to purchase on the order of the emperor. He came in a hurry and didn't bring enough people with him, so he asked for our help. Xiao We don’t dare to offend, so we can only follow!”
Anyway, this chamberlain has already said in front of everyone that he is following the order, so let's just give him all the blame.
"You guys!" The chamberlain stared, but it was hard to understand what he said now. Everyone heard him say that he was ordered to do so.
The director immediately pointed at the chamberlain and wagged his tail at Liu Biao: "Master Liu, he is the one who pretended to pass the imperial edict. They dare not do otherwise."
Liu Biao, who was standing nearby, said calmly: "Even if there is an imperial edict, your Majesty didn't ask them to beat people, right?"
Er, that seems to be the case.
Why did he offend the chief of Changping County? The county chief could easily get rid of him, but this old guy who has been a veteran of four dynasties is the troublesome one. Even your Majesty is polite and wants to keep things quiet.
