The young man was neither sullen nor angry, but calmly asked the two of them: "Do you want to take mine too?"
One of the yamen servants laughed and replied: "Mr. Magistrate, you are the parents of this county. Logically speaking, we cannot offend you. It's just that this prince committed the same crime as the common people. You are the new parents of this county, so you must abide by the law, right? Please also
Don't embarrass me."
The young man nodded: "Uncle Wen, just give them the money."
Although he is well-read in poetry and literature, he is not an elm-headed man who cannot adapt to changes.
"Master, this..." The old servant hesitated to speak.
His dark eyes glanced at the two of them without any intention, and he said: "The kid is difficult to deal with. It won't be too late for me to go back to settle the accounts after I go to the county government and get a real job."
The old servant was unwilling to take off the coil, and handed over eight documents to the Yamen servant.
The latter took it and stepped out of the way with a smile: "Thank you so much, parents."
The old servant snorted coldly and drove the donkey cart into the city gate.
As the donkey cart gradually drove away, the government servant asked his companion: "How long do you think this gentleman can live?"
"Who knows, I heard that the Lulin gang is in a restaurant in the south of the city, which is not far from the county government office."
As the donkey cart drove forward on the compacted loess streets, the old servant looked angrily: "How can they be so arrogant? You have become the local magistrate and you still dare to collect money!"
The young man looked at the houses along the way and said casually: "Either I'm confident, or... I don't think I can stay here for a few days."
Pedestrians have plenty of food to eat, but the main street, which is supposed to be the busiest, has few open businesses.
"What do you mean you can't stay for a few days?"
"Just look at the previous magistrates and you will know."
The young man explained calmly, which was like thunder in the old servant's ears. His old eyes were filled with water, and he begged and shouted: "Master, think twice! Master, you are the only one..."
"If I don't come, others will come. Those rotten trees only know how to exploit the people and plunder money. How can they know the sufferings of the people and how can they want to share their worries." The young man said calmly as if the matter had nothing to do with him. "Uncle Wen, I have made up my mind.
, don’t try to persuade me again.”
The old servant looked hesitant and worried, and sighed as he sent the young man to the county government office.
An escort greeted him, followed by a series of documents and seals for confirmation.
There was only one official in the county government, Yasi, and the other officials, big and small, died and fled. After more than ten waves, no one dared to come. The reason why Yasi was fine was because his family was local.
After sending the reluctant old servant away, the young man took his official uniform and was about to go to the back office to change into it, when two people fought and rushed into the county office.
They were all embarrassed and covered in chicken feathers. The police officer quickly ordered the Yamen servants to separate the two of them, and when they were about to evict them, they both shouted in unison that they wanted to report to the official.
It was a trivial dispute. It was just an old hen. The Wang family said it was raised by their family, and the Li family said it was raised by their family. They had a quarrel with the county government over this.
A dilapidated county government office that has not been cleaned for a long time.
The superintendent is on the left, and two government officials are supporting the audience. Then there are the two custodians and a chicken tied at their feet.
The young man walked up to the high platform before he could change his official position. He wiped the dust off the chair and slowly sat down.
A cloud of dust rose up. As it fell, the young man patted the gavel.
"Both of you, please explain the cause and effect."
The next moment, Mu Su's eyes flashed as he was sitting on a high platform.
The copy starts.
In view of his return after nearly a month, Musu was very embarrassed and didn't interrupt the cutscene.
I saw Old Man Wang kneeling on the ground and shouting: "I want to sue the Lord——"
Snap——
Mu Su was stunned and shouted with authority, "Who in this room dares to sue me!"
"I didn't say I wanted to sue you, sir... I, I..." Old Man Wang shivered in fright, stumbling to defend himself, pointing at Old Man Li next to him and saying, "I want to sue him for stealing my chicken!"
"What nonsense!" Old Man Li spat back.
The two of them were a little restrained at first, but soon they started to make a noise like a vegetable market, accompanied by the sound of old hens spreading their wings and clucking.
Mu Su banged the table twice to make them quiet down. He tilted his head slightly and asked the superintendent beside him: "Master, who do you think that chicken belongs to?"
"Uh, Lord Magistrate, I am not a master..."
Mu Su was shocked and turned pale, and slapped the wooden wall heavily: "Irrelevant people dare to stay in the court without authorization. Come on, drag them out and kill them!"
"I am your custodian..." The custodian quickly defended, wondering what happened to this county magistrate? He looked like a handsome young man just now, but now... his eyes turned into dead fish eyes.
Already.
"Oh~" Musu suddenly understood and nodded. "So who do you think that chicken belongs to?"
Ashi burst into tears and asked tentatively: "Why don't you let the two of them call each other?"
"It makes sense." Mu Su stroked his long beard, then realized that he didn't have it, so he said to the audience: "It's not difficult to prove who the chicken belongs to, as long as-"
Mu Su raised a long voice, then leaned towards Oshi and asked in a low voice: "What did you just say?"
Oshi had to repeat himself.
Mu Su coughed lightly and said: "——As long as you two call the chicken, whoever has the chicken will be the one who owns the chicken."
It seems reasonable, but chickens are not like dogs that listen to people's calls. After the old hen was let go, no matter how they called, they ignored it. Shaking their heads back and forth, they went straight to the feet of a government servant.
Mu Su was furious. He took out a handful of tokens from the token box and was about to throw them out: "How dare you! How dare you two steal the yamen servant's chicken? Come on, drag them out and behead them!"
"Don't - don't - don't behead!" Oshi was so anxious that he almost cried, and rushed to stop Mu Su. "Chickens are random, they must not listen to calls. If you don't believe me, ask the Yamen servant."
"Oh? Is there anything else like this?" Mu Su looked suspicious, raised an eyebrow and looked at the yamen servant, and said half-heartedly: "Tell me the truth, I will make the decision for you."
The yamen servant cupped his hands and replied: "Back to the magistrate, this chicken does not belong to a villain."
"Oh~" Mu Su nodded with sudden realization and put the token in his hand back to its original place.
Oshi wiped cold sweat and thought to himself: Xinzhi County looks young, but why is he so murderous? There are only six people in the front hall, and you are about to kill three of them now.
He leaned close to Mu Su's ear and whispered: "Sir, don't always talk about being dragged out and beheaded. I -"
Mu Su suddenly gave him a sideways look, stepped on the chair while everyone was stunned, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Drag him out, chop him out, chop him out, chop him out—! I told you what can you do to me?"
Oshi's words were incoherent, and he lowered his head and kept saying: "No... no... I don't dare..."
Musu snorted coldly, lifted up his skirt, sat back on his chair, and returned to the case, saying, "Now the county has made a judgment. This chicken——"
The two people in the audience looked forward to it eagerly.
"Why don't you each get half of it? It's the most basic math question. Xiao Ming and Xiao Meng have 1 apple, how should they divide it? 0.5 each."
"this……"
"That's not right!"
The two of them made a sound together and cried loudly.
"If you keep beeping, this chicken will be mine!" Mu Su, the dog official, shouted angrily, silencing the two of them.
