Chapter 38 The first villain
The Suzhou Prefectural Office and the current Governor's Office, all the minor officials and the yamen runners surrounded the new Governor Hou Xuanyan.
Since he took office, he rarely came here to handle official duties, and more often he threw it to Xia Yunyi, who was keen on this.
Hou Xuanyan sat lazily on the magistrate chair, exhausted all over. He was not asleep all night and was attacked by Boluo with two hundred cannons for a long time. Hou Xuanyan still felt his mind buzzing, and the officials surrounded him with flattering smiles and said a few words to suit the situation.
Hou Xuanyan would not look down on them because of this. This is how these people live. The world is so difficult, everyone has their own way of living, and everyone has the right to live. They are servile at this moment, probably just to support the family. And they have been exploring their lives, and they are in the dark corners of Suzhou, and they can't hide any twists and turns.
In less than a cup of tea, a burly man wearing heavy shackles and eight feet tall was taken up.
The yamen runners held water and fire sticks in their hands, pounding one stick behind his knees, and crossing the sticks forced him to kneel on the ground.
The pen clerk pointed at him and said, "Sir, this is a human being. He can be called Li Tianyi, the number one evil man in Suzhou in a hundred years."
Hou Xuanyan looked at him curiously. The kneeling prisoner wearing a heavy shackle of thirty pounds was said to have killed nearly a hundred lives with bare hands. Moreover, he raped and mistook many women. What is even more outrageous is that many handsome men were also...
The little official seemed to see his thoughts, and leaned closer and said, "Master General, don't look at his magnificent appearance, a tall nose and wide mouth, and looks like a brave man. This person is the most sinister and vicious. He will torture him half to death first. After the woman was killed by him, he will be crazy and stupid. Those men..." Speaking of this, I don't know what disgusting things I remembered. The shaman, who is used to the storm, could not continue to say anything.
Hou Xuanyan waved his hand and signaled that he was not interested at all, so he didn't need to say anything. Then he asked the evil man: "I heard you are a filial son?"
The evil man looked contemptuous, and he grinned and stared at Hou Xuanyan.
Mom, this guy is traitorous to me?
The constables are accustomed to observing their expressions. When they see Hou Xuanyan's face is angry, they will start to take action when they pick up the stick.
"Wait, bring his mother up."
Several constables rushed to the court with a white-haired old woman. The old woman's face was full of pleats, her teeth that were so yellow that she was mostly black-haired and she walked in a sprint, like a defeated rooster.
When she saw her son kneeling on the ground, she first stepped forward and hugged her, and howled for a long time. Then her body was about to be dull and burst out with huge energy. She jumped her feet and cursed, pointing at Hou Xuanyan who was surrounded by everyone, and for a moment, she kept spitting out dirty words.
"It's not such a top-notch, I really can't teach such a son."
The yamen runners acted to fight, and Li Tianyi roared angrily, like a tiger roar. Hou Xuanyan was shocked, but he also realized that the most brutal criminal in Suzhou's history was actually a filial son. This made Hou Xuanyan laugh and cry, especially his mother was such a top-notch.
Hou Xuan demonstrated that the constables let go of their mother and son, and then said with a smile: "Okay, although the evil dog is fierce, there is still a little filial piety that can barely prove that he is an individual."
He stood up and walked to the side of the most evil man in Suzhou. The constables were afraid that he would suddenly hurt others, so they pressed them with a stick.
Hou Xuanyan pointed at him and said, "Li Tianyi, I have something that I want you to do for me. Are you willing?"
Wang Junkai was confused, then laughed and spat, "Did you have been fooled by lard? You actually want to instruct your grandpa to work hard for you? Hahaha, come and see, there is a dementia here who is the governor."
The constables were furious and scolded and beaten, but they still couldn't stop the guy's laughter. It seemed that the stick hit him, and it was not hurt at all.
Hou Xuanyan chuckled, her mouth curled, and her handsome face was filled with evil spirits.
"Stop hitting him, first hit his mother, pull out the old poisonous woman's tongue, smash her teeth, cut off her ears, cut off her limbs, and hang it on the top of the city to expose it to the sun for three days."
The ridicule on Li Tianyi's face disappeared instantly and he shouted: "My mother is innocent! My mother is innocent!"
"I didn't say she was guilty. Did you hear me say she was guilty?"
The constables burst into laughter, and Li Tianyi became even more afraid. He kowtowed and said, "Give me aside, I will do everything for you."
"Okay. Take his mother away, and after he makes it, give her mother a sum of money and release her from prison."
Li Tianyi raised his head, and his forehead was covered in bruises. His mother held him in her arms and cursed.
Hou Xuanyan really didn't want to see the mother and son again, so he turned around and was about to leave. Li Tianyi asked loudly, "How can I believe you?"
Hou Xuan didn't look back and said, "Do you have any other way besides believing me?"
Li Tianyi's face turned dark and he lowered his head deeply.
The golden crow fell, the bright moon rose, and the Suzhou prison gate suddenly opened in midnight.
Hundreds of prisoners came out one after another along the prison gate.
Geng Wan took the lead and saw the middle-aged man he saw during the day and looked happy.
"Sir, I really believe in others. After the matter is accomplished, I will repay Mr. and the Gu family."
This middle-aged man is Gu Shouzheng, who is determined to defend the city.
He nodded softly and signaled them to go out from the east gate. A burly man drove a carriage and followed closely.
Geng Wan said suspiciously: "Mr. Gu, who is this?"
"This is a gift from our Gu family for the heavenly soldiers outside the city. General Geng, you are the general of the Qing court. Don't forget to give us the Gu family a few good words. Our family's lives are in the hands of the general."
Geng Wan smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." He was already thinking about how to intercept the treasures of this car at that time.
Looking at the carriage, it is more than several times larger than the ordinary ones. It seems that the Gu family has invested a lot this time. No wonder, the local governor was kicked out of Suzhou by them, so it would be strange if the Gu family was not afraid.
When they arrived at the East City Gate, Gu Shouzheng quietly stepped forward and whispered to the servants who had been waiting there. They indeed opened the city gate. Geng Wan was overjoyed. It seemed that this time he had really escaped.
Gu Shouzheng pulled Geng Wan and said earnestly: "General Geng, you must agree with the general outside the city that we are opening the east gate. The north gate is the only Arrow Tower and the urn city. Even if you break the north gate, you can't enter Suzhou."
Geng Wan had been to Suzhou and knew that what he was talking about was the truth, so he had no doubt in his heart.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, we will gather in the city another day. When I, Lao Geng, will be the host, you must give me a look."
Gu Shouzheng nodded heavily, with a look of yearning, but his acting skills were slightly exaggerated. Fortunately, the night was covered, and Geng never realized something was different.
The city gate slowly closed, and the man who was rushing to the car turned around and looked deep in the direction of the yamen.
