Faced with the bad words from the Yamen, Zhaohui did not show any fear. Instead, he stared at the Yamen and said: "Who said I have no grievances? You two are so contemptuous of others that you didn't let us in to see Lord Zhizhou and threatened the good people."
, the injustice I have suffered is great!”
His words angered the officer even more, and he pushed him to the ground with all his strength, and said in a vicious voice: "You are a sharp-tongued beggar, and you simply don't know how to live or die. Do you want to complain, okay, I will grant you that!"
Saying this, he kicked Zhaohui with his foot. Hongli hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said angrily: "You government servants, you are receiving money from the imperial court, but you are so ignorant of the king's laws. What is the reason?
"
"For good people, it is natural to follow the king's law, but for you unscrupulous people, it is simply a waste to follow the king's law." Another yamen pounced on him like a hungry wolf, trying to pull Hongli away, but Hongli was a man who knew martial arts.
, if he really wanted to fight, not to mention one yamen officer, not even two or three would be his opponent. Although he was now much weaker due to long hunger, his foundation was still there. With a backhand, he pushed the yamen officer out.
Sitting on the ground.
The Yachai was stunned for a moment, then became even more angry and shouted sternly: "You are a cunning beggar, you dare to hit Master Bencha. It seems that you are really impatient with life. I wonder if Master Bencha will not teach you a lesson today!"
At this time, Agui also ran up and stood with Zhaohui and Hongli. Just as the two government officials were about to pounce, the sound of water and fire sticks hitting the ground came from inside.
The two officials looked at each other and knew that the governor had been disturbed by the sound of drumming and was about to go to court to hear the case. They did not dare to neglect and hurried inside. They could not let those unruly people complain first.
.However, they were not afraid at all, and they did not believe that those beggars were really related to Lord Zhizhou.
The magistrate of Zhengzhou Prefecture, whose surname was Yang, was the second-ranked official during the Kangxi period. He was having a drink with several concubines when he suddenly heard the sound of drums. He had to put on his official uniform and go to court to hear the case. However, he felt a little unhappy.
After he sat down in the chair, he clapped his hands and said, "Who is beating the drum to complain?"
The two yamen officials quickly raised their hands and replied: "Sir, a few unscrupulous beggars are causing trouble outside. They clamored to see Lord Zhizhou and said they were relatives. However, their subordinates stopped them from entering, so they attacked them randomly.
drum!"
Behind them, Hongli and three others had also come in. Magistrate Yang was already unhappy when he saw the ragged clothes of these three people. When he heard the words of the two yamen servants, his long face became even more serious and he shouted:
: "You are so bold and unruly that you dare to beat drums for no reason and disrupt the court. Do you know your guilt?"
Zhaohui took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, we do have a grievance to complain about. We are definitely not beating the drums randomly to disrupt the court. Please be clear about it."
Magistrate Yang stroked his long beard under his chin and said without hesitation: "If there is an injustice, where is the paper?"
"The villain is poor and cannot afford paper and pen. Please lend me pen and paper so that he can write the petition on the spot." Zhaohui's words surprised Magistrate Yang, "You, a beggar, can still write?"
"Yes, I have studied for several years and know some words." Although they have already met with the magistrate of Zhengzhou Prefecture, their last experience in Zhejiang made Zhaohui and others dare not reveal their true identities easily and had to wait.
Let’s talk about it after seeing Buchi.
Zhaohui's neither humble nor overbearing attitude aroused the curiosity of Magistrate Yang and said: "Master Liu, give him a pen and paper. I want to see how much ink this beggar has in his belly."
After Zhaohui took the paper and pen, he spread the paper on the ground, then after a moment of reflection, he started writing quickly. Soon, a piece of paper was finished. When Magistrate Yang saw the paper, his face was full of surprise.
The words on it are correct and powerful, and the sentences are smooth and well-founded, making it difficult for people to find anything wrong. It seems that this little beggar is not simple.
After Magistrate Yang read the petition written by Zhaohui, he raised his head and said, "Do you want to sue these two government officials?"
"Yes, the villain is a distant cousin of Master Zhizhou, and he came here to seek refuge. However, these two government officials looked down upon others, so they blocked the villain from entering, and refused to report the news. The villain was attacked
Sounding the drum of injustice has alarmed the Lord. And these two are the chief culprits of all this!"
Faced with Zhaohui's accusation, the two government officials quickly denied it and said: "Sir, don't listen to this unruly man's nonsense. They are clearly here to cause trouble on purpose."
Magistrate Yang already roughly knew what was going on and said, "You said you are a relative of the magistrate, do you have proof?"
"The villain is the best proof. You only need to ask Mr. Zhizhou to come out and identify him." Although he and Buqi had not seen each other for several years, he believed that Buqi would still be able to recognize him.
Magistrate Yang looked at the neatly written petition paper and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said: "Master Liu, go ask Mr. Zhizhou to come out and let him see if this person is his distant relative."
Hearing what Magistrate Yang said, Zhaohui and others were overjoyed. As long as they met Buqi, their plan to come to Zhengzhou would be half successful. As long as they plan more carefully, there shouldn't be any problems.
As for the two yamen servants, they were murmuring in their hearts. Seeing the fearless appearance of these beggars, could it be possible that they really knew Master Zhizhou? If so, wouldn't they be in trouble?
After a while, a middle-aged man with a beard walked out together with Mr. Liu, bowed his hands to Magistrate Yang and said, "I have met the magistrate." In this magistrate's yamen, the magistrate has the highest official position, the prefect.
Slightly lower.
"Excuse me." Magistrate Yang said politely: "Bu Qi, the beggar standing below is said to be your distant cousin. Please confirm whether he is or not."
"Cousin?" Bu Qi frowned and was puzzled. When did he have a cousin who was a beggar? Although he felt ridiculous in his heart, after Magistrate Yang spoke, he could only look at the people standing under the court.
, I saw that the three beggars were all dirty and their clothes were shabby. How could they be his relatives.
After some casual identification, Bu Qi turned around, cupped his hands to Magistrate Yang and said, "Sir, the person standing below is not a lower-ranking official..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhaohui said eagerly: "Uncle, do you really not remember me? Before you came to Zhengzhou as the prefect, you often visited my house and brought me a lot of things. You know that I
I like reading books, so I specially found a copy of "Sou Shen Ji" as a gift to me."
Hearing the words "Sou Shen Ji", Bu Qi was shocked and turned around again. This time, he didn't glance at Zhao Hui as casually as before. Instead, he walked up to Zhao Hui and looked at her carefully. The more he looked, the more he looked.
It felt familiar, especially after Zhaohui wiped the dirt off her face with her sleeves, it felt even more familiar, as if... it seemed to be Zhaohui!
