After the bearers put the sedan down, a government official lifted the curtain from the side, and saw a young official wearing a lapis lazuli hat, an eight-python and five-clawed python robe, and a snow goose embroidered on the chest as he walked out of the sedan.
As soon as he showed up, everyone could see that his face was tense, as if he was about to burst out with anger. [ ] Zhao Qiang knew a little about the official uniforms of officials in the Qing Dynasty, and knew that this year's official was a fourth-grade official.
He was an official, and he looked like Liu Dao, the prefect of Yongping, otherwise Mr. Guo would not have looked so embarrassed.
"I have met Mr. Liu in my humble position."
Although the Qing Dynasty was not as noble and military as the previous dynasty, Guo Ba was the green camp commander of Shanhaiwei, and Shanhaiwei was nominally under the jurisdiction of Yongping Prefecture. Although they usually did not have official contacts, Guo Ba was the official official who met Liu Dao.
It is a rule to call someone a lower official, no matter whether you want to or not, you have to call him that way. But in his heart, Liu Dao secretly cursed: He, who are you showing such a bad face to?
"Mr. Guo, are you going to take my man? But I don't know what military law my subordinates have committed?" Liu Dao walked up to Mr. Guo with a gloomy face. His words were not polite at all, but he also hinted that Mr. Guo had power.
Take his person.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."
Seeing Liu Dao's explosive temper, Mr. Guo combined it with the rumors he heard about Liu Dao, and it became more and more confirmed that this person is really a bug, and he is definitely not a good person. He must be dealt with carefully. Just now he said that he is not afraid of others.
In fact, I still felt guilty, so I lowered my frame and thought about countermeasures secretly.
When Liu Dao came, things became a little complicated. His affair with Gutai was not a secret, so Guo Ba always didn't want to get involved with both parties. He usually turned a blind eye to Gutai's benefits and let his men do it.
It’s okay to act recklessly. If he really had to put himself in front of Liu Dao to confront Liu Dao, not to mention that he didn’t have the courage, even Mr. Qian of Shanhaiwei would have to consider his own weight. He decided to deal with the matter in front of him first.
Given his personality and settling the matter in a peaceful manner, he would not offend Liu Dao and would be able to sell well to Gutai. After all, he would have protected his life.
"I heard someone below say that someone is causing trouble here, so I came here. I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding to come here now. No one is causing trouble. If Mr. Liu has nothing to do, I will take the people back. If you are free, you might as well come to the camp and sit down.
, I'm in a humble position, so I can have some food and drinks with you." After saying this, Liu Dao, with a smile on his face, waited for him to express his position. He had already shown weakness, and he couldn't really refuse to give him any face. Some words couldn't be said either.
To say it too clearly would hurt someone's face, so it's better to be vague.
Unexpectedly, Liu Dao ignored Mr. Guo's words, but turned around and asked Xiong Fangliang: "What has this person committed?"
Two government servants had already taken over Hu Jiujiang from Xiong Fangliang, so after hearing the adult's question, Xiong Fangliang arched his body and said: "Reporting to the master, this man led a group of idle men to fight with these businessmen, and the younger one just happened to be here for inspection.
, so I took him down." After saying this, he glanced at Mr. Guo, and when he saw that he was looking at him, he glared tit-for-tat, showing no fear.
After listening to Xiong Fangliang's words, Liu Dao glanced at Hu Jiujiang and others as well as Zhao Qiang and the others, and said in a deep voice: "Is this the case?"
"Nonsense! What kind of fight? It's just some..."
Hu Jiujiang knew everything about Liu Dao and his master. He was afraid that Liu Dao would use this matter to cause trouble for his master, so he shouted in a hurry, not wanting to be stopped by Liu Dao as soon as he shouted:
"I didn't ask you a question." The official authority of his words showed itself without anger. After hearing this, Hu Jiujiang really didn't dare to say anything anymore. He looked around anxiously, as if he was waiting for someone to come over.
"You guys said." Liu Dao didn't care who Hu Jiujiang and the others were, and looked directly at Zhao Qiang and the others, but he didn't pay attention to Gao Shiqi and the others on the side. At this time, more and more people were watching, crowding the road.
Some of the bannermen in the teahouses and restaurants also stuck their heads out from their doors and looked this way. Liu Dao seemed to deliberately express his attitude in front of these people. Seeing that Zhao Qiang and the others were a little afraid of him, he said in a friendly voice: "Just wait.
It must be a tribe outside the Guan. It is not easy for you people in the border areas to do business. If someone does illegal things to you and oppresses you, you can tell me. I can't guarantee your separation, but it is.
I'll protect you." After saying this, he slowly glanced at the people around him, looking full of confidence.
Gao Shiqi and others nodded secretly after listening to Liu Dao's words. They all said that the Yongping prefect was a good official. No wonder the emperor rewarded him with Yongping prefecture's generosity.
Zhao Qiang really didn't want to deal with people from the government, but in the current situation, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave until the matter was settled. From the tone of the prefect, it seemed that he was dissatisfied with Hu Jiujiang and the master behind him, Gu Tai.
He was also partial to his own side, so he immediately had an idea. Since the prefect wanted to help him, he went along with the flow and asked him to help him. Then he said truthfully: "Replying to this gentleman, I am from the Sauron Qiuhe tribe outside the pass. Come here
The traders in the pass did not want to go here, but these people wanted to forcibly redeem the goods of the young people. The goods of the young people already had owners, so how could they resell them to others, so they rejected them. How could these people stop the small people just like that?
They also beat the common people, but the people of the small ethnic group were not willing to accept it, so they started fighting with them, and so there was a scene like this that the head catcher saw." At this point, Zhao Qiang pointed at Xiong Fangliang, meaning that the head catcher had seen it with his own eyes.
Yes, the common people will never tell lies.
These were the words that Liu Dao was waiting for. He knew exactly who Hu Jiujiang was, and he also knew exactly what he was doing at the market in Shanhaiwei. He had no way of forcing them to endure it before, but now he was doing it himself.
If you continue to pretend to be deaf and mute about this matter, what will it be like to be an official? Even if there is nothing you can do to Gutai, you still have to punish this villain and evil slave severely so that Gutai knows that Yongping Mansion is not his own.
land!
"Hmph, Hu Jiujiang, you are such a naughty slave! I have heard people talk about your bad reputation in the past, but today I saw it with my own eyes. It is true! These Sauron merchants traveled thousands of miles to enter the country to do business for the sake of the whole family.
To make a living, I don’t think you dare to bully them and want to do the business of buying low and selling high! Don’t you think I know about all the dirty things you do in daily life?” Liu Dao suddenly turned around and shouted to the left and right government officials.
He shouted: "Come on, take him and these accomplices and take him back to the government office!" When Mr. Guo heard this, he was heartbroken. This Liu Jianlu is really going to open a dyeing shop. He must not be allowed to work there.
He took Hu Jiujiang to the government office under his own nose, otherwise he would not have explained anything to Gutai. But Liu Dao was the prefect of Yongping, and he was just a small Shanhaiwei general, and he could crush people at the highest level.
, not to mention how much older he is, why can’t he lead people to fight against him in Yongping Mansion? Damn, this is going to be fatal. I don’t know what to do. President Guo was so anxious that he didn’t dare to lead anyone.
obstruct.
Seeing that Liu Daolai was serious, Hu Jiujiang was also stunned. Then he flew into a rage and yelled wildly: "Prefect Liu, as the saying goes, you need the master's face to beat a dog. You don't know who my master is. Let me tell you! You took me today."
, someone will take your official title tomorrow! If you have the guts, take me back and try it! How will my master deal with you!"
"Diao Nu, you are so arrogant!" Liu Dao saw that Hu Jiujiang was so arrogant after being taken away. This was in front of him. If it were someone else, he would be so arrogant. Think of all the evil things he did for Gutai in the past.
He couldn't help but get furious: "Slap me!"
"How dare you!" As soon as Hu Jiujiang finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the left side of the face by the government servant next to him. The slap made him feel like stars suddenly appeared in his eyes, it was so hot that it hurt so much that he was so dizzy that he could no longer speak.
.
"Ba! Ba! Ba!"
After being slapped for more than ten times in a row, Hu Jiujiang's face was swollen like something, with bruises and red spots, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood. When the people around him saw it, everyone clapped in their hearts, but no one dared to actually clap.
Applause, they are really afraid of Gutai's disaster, fearing that one of their actions will provoke revenge from Gutai's people.
"Mom, what a blind bastard to beat up my people!"
When the magistrate didn't say stop, the yamen officer continued to slap him. Just as he was about to hit him again, he saw a large group of men with a few people rushing towards him angrily. When the idle thugs saw the coming people, they all screamed:
"The master is here! The master is here!" Boss Guo went to greet the people in a few quick steps, but Liu De stared at those people with a gloomy face without moving at all, while Xiong Fangliang and other government officials nervously protected the prefect.
around.
Gutai is here! Gao Shiqi and Eunuch Chen looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and stepped back slightly. The position where they stood suddenly became less conspicuous. Zhao Qiang and the others were surrounded by the government officials of Yongping Mansion, but there was no place to retreat.
, I had no choice but to stand there like that. I should think carefully about the character of Hauge's son. He must not be a grass-colored barbarian, Zhao Qiang thought.
"Extremely arrogant!" "Not to mention your master, even if the emperor is here, I will still take care of you!"
