Chapter 54: Three Souls and Seven Souls

The three county magistrates had finished their work, and there was no place to stay along the mountain, so they left immediately. The sun had already set a little in the west, and it happened to be in time for dinner. In ancient times, the meal time was early, which was equivalent to five o'clock.

It's about half past five. With more than 10,000 people dining in the county, there are hundreds of pots and stoves, and the food is all the same, so the smell doesn't require anyone to call you every time it's time to eat. You'll know when it's time just by smelling it.

time to eat.

It just so happened that today, out of the seventeen construction teams, ten of the residential buildings were completed. Others were delayed due to the water pipes and electric wires mentioned before. This building is completed, and everyone wants to have a good meal to celebrate, pork yellow

Bean sprouts and vermicelli, the aroma of the big pots, who wouldn’t drool?

The first person to be attracted was Magistrate Xiong who got on the carriage in advance and was waiting. He did not dare to stay in the county government office for fear that Fang Zhuo would continue to pursue the compensation of several thousand taels of gold. Not long after he got on the carriage, he could smell the strong smell.

Not far from the entrance of the county government office was the place where people were queuing up to serve dishes. The smell seduced Magistrate Xiong so much that he almost took away his soul. He got off the carriage and walked in the direction where the kiss came from.

In the past, when there was not only fragrance but also heat in front of him, Magistrate Xiong stopped and seemed to have returned to his body. He looked at the hundreds of large pots and stoves in front of him that were emitting fragrant steam. Magistrate Xiong's fierce

After swallowing twice, he lowered his head and looked at the delicious dishes in the big pot, "What kind of dish is this?" Magistrate Xiong asked in a low voice. There were so many people queuing up to serve the dishes. Who could hear it? They were responsible for maintaining order.

The police officer saw this and knew that the county magistrate had a variety of rude attitudes in the county government, so the policeman did not regard Magistrate Xiong as the county magistrate, "Hey, hey, hey, if you want to eat, go to the queue, don't get stuck here!

"

At this time, Magistrate Xiong's Three Souls were back, but there were six missing Seven Souls. Like an idiot, he walked to the back of the distant queue and lined up with a group of farmers. Magistrates Ni and Zhang came out

At the gate of the county government office, I found that Magistrate Xiong was missing. I asked the carriage driver and found out that Magistrate Xiong had gone to eat. What happened? "How could Magistrate Xiong go to eat alone? By the way, why does this smell so good?"

"After Magistrate Ni finished speaking, he also followed the place where the aroma came from and looked for it.

To say that the living conditions are good, the conditions in the counties along the river are better in this year of drought. Magistrate Zhang is also fascinated by the fragrance, but not to the extent of being obsessed with Magistrate Xiong and Magistrate Ni, so he follows it very rationally.

When he came up, he saw from a distance that Magistrate Xiong was lining up with the farmers. Curious, he pulled Magistrate Ni's clothes, but Magistrate Ni had no time to pay attention to him, "Wow, what kind of delicacy is this pot?"

, such a strong aroma, Ni seems to be hungry, "Magistrate Ni is slightly better than Magistrate Xiong. Although his behavior is out of control, his consciousness is still there. However, after saying this, Magistrate Zhang disappeared behind him.

Got people.

Naturally, County Magistrate Zhang wanted to pull Magistrate Xiong over. How would it be appropriate to queue up with a group of farmers? After pulling hard for a long time, Magistrate Xiong was pulled out of the queue to serve food, but Magistrate Xiong’s eyes were filled with confusion.

Still on the stove, he said, "I said, Magistrate Xiong, what's wrong with you? Isn't it just that this dish tastes better? If you want to eat it, we can just go and get it. Are we also farmers?" Magistrate Zhang

He persuaded Magistrate Xiong, but Magistrate Xiong ignored him at all, and his mind was still a little dazed, but Magistrate Ni listened, "What Magistrate Zhang said is absolutely true! Zhang, go get it! You guys will go back to the carriage later!"

"

Magistrate Zhang had a hard time pulling Magistrate Xiong over just now. How is it possible to pull Magistrate Xiong back to the carriage now? "Magistrate Ni, why don't we just wait here? Magistrate Xiong seems to have been hungry for a long time, and Zhang is not

It took so much force to pull him."

"That's all, you wait here for a while!" The reason why Magistrate Ni asked them to wait on the carriage was entirely because three magistrates in official uniforms came to compete with a group of farmers for food.

It doesn’t make sense, and many idiots are watching the joke at this time. How can the three of them as county magistrates be embarrassed? Speaking of which, the entourage of the three of them did not know where they died. After leaving the gate of the county government, they

No one was found. When Magistrate Ni turned around to order the cook to get the food, he was blocked by a police officer.

"Go away, this county magistrate wants to check the food!" Magistrate Ni looked at the policeman who was in the way and felt very unhappy. He was laughed at by the mud-legged man, and a policeman actually came to block the road. This was completely unheard of in his Pengdong County.

Impossible! In Pengdong County, among the policemen and civilians, when they saw him, they all bowed their heads. How could they be so ignorant of sense of propriety here along the mountain?

"Sir! If you want to check the food, you must first have a county government badge! Secondly, you must wear a mask, both are indispensable!" The policeman continued to stand in front of Magistrate Ni.

"What? I am the county magistrate! Do you still need a county government badge? Return the mask! I have never heard of this county magistrate! Go away!" Magistrate Ni not only spoke this time, but also used his hands to push him.

Get caught quickly.

When the police officer saw that the other party made the first move, without saying a word, he grabbed Magistrate Ni's arm behind his back and said, "Sir, please don't break the law!"

"What the hell! That's bullshit! Let me go! Otherwise I'll make you walk around without food!" Magistrate Ni was in pain and cursed angrily while holding back the pain.

At this time, the surrounding farmers were looking here. They wanted to see what would happen after the county magistrate was captured by the police. Soon the policeman calmly said loudly: "Yanshan County Government Order! Those who enforce the law and know the law."

If you break the law, you will be guilty of the same crime as civilians! The same crime will be increased by one!"

"What? What kind of government order! This county magistrate has never heard of it! Quick... let go of your hand quickly!" Magistrate Ni was so painful that he started to grin. He didn't care about his image as a county magistrate and tried to move around.

Circle, trying to make the captured arm feel more comfortable.

Magistrate Zhang next to him saw this situation and stepped forward to separate the detective and Magistrate Ni. He thought that he could talk to him if he had anything to say. Who knows, the detective saw a helper coming forward, but without saying anything, he quickly moved one hand

He put the whistle on his chest into his mouth. Soon, the whistle sounded "beep beep, beep beep". Within three or five breaths, other police officers arrived, as well as the construction teams.

The captains all looked like Fei Fei, and a dozen people surrounded the three county magistrates in the blink of an eye.

"Know the law and break the law! Cause trouble in the street! Resist the arrest! Capture all three of them!" the policeman shouted loudly, and the policemen and construction team captains nearby stepped forward and captured the three county magistrates with their hands behind their backs.

, with his head held low, he walked towards the county government office.

Fang Zhuang just planned to repair the damaged fan, but he heard many people coming in behind him. He looked curiously outside the courtroom. He was instantly confused and thought to himself, 'Oh no! These detectives knew very well.

I feel so sorry to find an excuse to put these three goods in storage so quickly!'

But what about actually?

"Sir, this person does not have a county government badge. He wants to check the dinner of all the people in Chengdu. I am convinced that this person may poison the people. I asked to see his county government badge and asked him to wear a mask. But this person has neither."

, they had to break in and cause trouble, and the other two were accomplices! According to the Yanshan County government decree, the three of them belong to a gang and commit crimes, which is a felony, and they are officials, so they have to be charged an additional level!" The first person to capture Magistrate Ni

The police officer told what happened, but this time it was even more serious than what happened on the street. He actually referred to the farmers outside as tens of thousands of people, but when it comes to numbers, there are indeed tens of thousands of people.

Magistrate Ni was suffering from pain in his arms at this time. He was a man with little strength. He was being treated by two policemen. Of course, Magistrate Ni was not the worst. Magistrate Xiong was the most miserable. At this time, Three Souls and Seven

All the souls returned, and even went too far, shouting: "You! Are you going to rebel? You actually attacked several of our county magistrates, do you all want to be beheaded!"

"Put this scolding guy in jail. Let these two go first. I think it's a misunderstanding!" Fang Zhuo couldn't do it too carefully. He couldn't offend all three people, so he only focused on entertaining Magistrate Xiong.

.

The policemen and others released Magistrate Ni and Magistrate Zhang, but magistrate Xiong was arrested on the spot as a sinner. The original two people were holding him captive, but now there were four, and not only were their arms held tightly.

, he also held his head down and shackled his hands and feet before dragging him out of the courtroom.

"Magistrate Feng, how should you explain this matter!" Magistrate Ni saw that Magistrate Xiong was really being taken away as a prisoner, and his excited tone became hysterical.

"This surprised both of you. The county magistrate loves the people like his own sons, and many of his government decrees are for the benefit of the people. Therefore, in Yanshan, officials, in the eyes of the common people, do not have any privileges. On the contrary, they will be subject to many restrictions, such as eating. If officials

Or if other officials in the county government dine with the common people, the common people must come first, and then the county government officials. Normally, they cannot rely on the county government officials to talk to the common people. Oops... the content is too much at once

I couldn't explain it clearly to you two in advance, so I still hope Haihan!" After Fang Zhuo finished speaking, he gave a few instructions to the Yamen outside the court, then turned to look at the two Magistrates Ni and Zhang who were still rubbing their muscles.

"You two sit down for a moment, the food will be here shortly."

Fang Zhuo didn't give them a chance to express their opinions, so he turned around and walked to the main seat to continue repairing his fan. Ni and Zhang calmed down and walked to Fang Zhuo, "Why is Magistrate Feng like this?" Magistrate Zhang

He spoke first. He didn't understand why the status of officials was lowered than that of ordinary people. In that case, would ordinary people still be able to obey the control of county government officials?

"Haha, Magistrate Zhang must be confused about Magistrate Ni, right?" Fang Zhuo did not answer Magistrate Zhang directly, but instead asked Magistrate Ni next to him.

"Although Ni is very angry, he also felt something when talking with the two village chiefs before, and asked Magistrate Feng to clarify his doubts!" ​​Magistrate Ni said it in a very polite way, but his tone was not gentle at all. Indeed,

What I just did to him was the most ugly and painful.

"Both of you, ordinary people are human beings too. We were ordinary people before we got official positions. Why are county government officials superior? Why should we control ordinary people? They have not broken the law and have not done anything to harm others. Why should we control them?

What?" Fang Zhuan said, stopped the repair work in his hands, came to the seat next to the host, and poured two cups of tea for the two county magistrates, "Take a sip of tea first, before the food comes, I

Just a few words. If there is any inappropriate language, I hope you will bear with me. Feng is not very old, but he looks at things from a biased perspective. When many government orders are issued, I look at things from a non-civilian and non-official perspective.

It can be said that we are bystanders. Officials say they want to benefit one party, but as a result, ordinary people can only rely on themselves to live. In this year of drought, ordinary people can no longer live by themselves. At this time, we, officials, can see that

How hypocritical it is to talk about benefiting one side! It is also difficult now along the mountain. Previously, 20,000 to 30,000 rebel troops attacked, and there were only more than 200 defenders on the city wall. How can we defend it? It is not possible to rely on the participation of ordinary people to fight against the enemy together.

Is it safe?"

As Fang Zhuo talked, he took the topic far away. If he directly told the two county magistrates in front of him about his ideas, he would definitely not be accepted by others, so he could only take the topic further away and say as much content as possible.
