Hearing that the county magistrate wanted to beat Xiao Chen to death, the old man next to him trembled and stood in front of Xiao Chen.
"Master, it's a villain who has no eyesight and bumped into my wife. This young man is young and energetic. He saw that the villain was pitiful, so he stood up and spoke up. The villain is willing to pay all the vegetables in the cart to the master.
Please don’t embarrass this little brother.”
"Old guy, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that you are the real cause of this case. Come on, take this old guy out and beat him to death." As he said that, he picked up another token and threw it at him.
On the ground.
The anger on Xiao Chen's face disappeared, replaced by a calm expression.
In the eyes of everyone, Xiao Chen was scared and pretending to be calm.
But Duan Tianming knew that the sudden calm was the beginning of Xiao Chen's killing.
"Old man, thank you. You can't protect me." Holding the old man's shoulders, Xiao Chen wanted to push the old man behind him.
"You have to protect yourself even if you can't." The old man's attitude suddenly became tough at this moment, "I am already a lonely old man, and death is not a pity. You are still young, so you can run away while I block them. You can run away together.
.”
As he spoke, he opened his arms, like a hen guarding its chickens, to block Xiao Chen behind him.
"I want to escape. I entered the Cangxian lobby. How can I escape?" the magistrate snorted coldly.
More than a dozen government officials in soap clothes, holding water and fire sticks as thick as their arms, have blocked the entrance to the lobby.
Turning around, looking at the situation at the door, the old man slowly lowered his arms and cried uncontrollably.
"My dear, you sacrificed your two lives for me, a dying man. Even if I am beaten to death, I will never be able to rest in peace forever."
The old woman next to him looked at the old man with disdain.
"Cry, if you abuse a dog, you are destined to have such an end. You will be beaten to death in a while, big dog, I will help you find a good home."
The young woman, on the other hand, had been teasing the puppy in her arms and never raised her head to look at anything in the lobby.
It's as if this is not the lobby, but the back garden of your own home.
"Don't worry, old man, none of us will die today." Xiao Chen pushed the old man towards Duan Tianming and walked straight towards the magistrate.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel? Come here and capture him." Looking at Xiao Chen's cold eyes, the magistrate couldn't help but feel a little panicked and shouted hurriedly.
The government officials blocking the entrance to the lobby reacted instantly.
My mission is to capture this person, not just to block the door.
The two government officials who were eager to show off raised the water and fire sticks in their hands and rushed towards Xiao Chen.
Seeing that the stick with a thick arm was about to hit Xiao Chen on the head.
"Brother, hide quickly." The old man shouted anxiously.
The magistrate on the chair raised the corners of his mouth and laughed coldly.
Xiao Chen suddenly turned around and punched out with both fists at the same time.
With his fist attached to the water and fire stick, he hit the two government officials hard in the face.
"Ah, ah..." Two screams echoed in the lobby.
The two of them were like sandbags, drawing an arc in the air and falling outside the lobby, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
The magistrate turned pale with fright at this sudden turn of events, and stood up suddenly.
Before he could react, Xiao Chen had already arrived.
He grabbed his right hand and pressed it on the desk.
"How many times have you thrown the token with this hand? How many good people have you killed unjustly?"
"I, I..." He wanted to pull his wrist away, but Ke Zhixian found that his wrist seemed to be nailed to the table and could not be pulled at all.
Xiao Chen slowly picked up the gavel on the table: "I don't think your hand has any meaning anymore."
With a "bang" sound, the gavel slammed down hard.
The magistrate's thumb was beaten into pieces along with the bones.
"Ah." A scream like a slaughtering pig came from the magistrate's mouth, causing everyone's hearts to twitch.
The gavel was raised and photographed again.
The magistrate's index finger also became bloody and bloody, like minced meat for stuffing steamed buns, and the table was covered with bloody flesh.
In an instant, five voices sounded in the lobby in succession.
And all the fingers on the magistrate's right hand disappeared.
The old woman in the hall was also shocked by Xiao Chen's actions.
A common man dared to attack the county magistrate.
How dare you attack your husband.
I wanted to rush forward to save the siege, but I felt a little timid.
He looked at the big black dog in his hand and hurriedly shouted: "Master Hei, go up and bite him."
The "Heiye" didn't seem to hear, he just wagged his tail, swayed his limbs, and lay down on the ground for a long time, sleeping soundly.
The old woman was disappointed.
But when her husband is being tortured, there is absolutely no reason for her to just watch.
He suddenly shook his head, shook off the cloth shoes he was dragging on his feet, and rushed towards Xiao Chen.
He didn't know how to start, so he held Xiao Chen's calf, opened his mouth, and prepared to bite.
Duan Tianming, who was standing in the middle of the hall, rushed over with a single step, grabbed the old woman's hair and pulled her back violently, causing her half-opened mouth to stay in the air.
Xiao Chen was speechless for a while.
This woman's offensive is really unique.
He almost bit his calf.
If her teeth were diseased, she would really be in trouble and make people laugh out loud.
"Hit her." Looking at Duan Tianming, Xiao Chen said angrily.
Pulling the old woman's hair, Duan Tianming felt embarrassed: "This is a woman, I, I have never hit a woman."
"This is a woman? She is as vicious as a snake or a scorpion. How can she be considered a human being? Didn't she say that she is as beautiful as a flower? You just let her be as beautiful as a flower."
He raised his head and looked at the old man standing in the middle of the lobby. He looked shaky perhaps due to excessive blood loss. Thinking about the vicious words the old woman had just said, Duan Tianming made a fist with his right hand and punched him.
After a crackling sound, the old woman had disappeared, leaving only a bruised pig head, still cursing loudly in vicious language.
"If you dare to hit me, my father is here and I will kill you. I will kill all the poor people in Cang County. You rude, uneducated, troublesome and poor people do not deserve to live in this world."
Seeing her father and mother being beaten, the young woman finally moved her eyes away from the dog in her arms, stomped her steps and deliberately suppressed her voice, making it sound softer: "Stop beating, you are so rude."
, stop now."
As he said that, he covered the dog's eyes with his hands as if he was afraid that the dog in his arms would be frightened: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mom is holding you."
Seeing the other party's behavior, Xiao Chen's throat surged and he hurriedly used his inner strength to suppress it before he vomited it out on the spot.
But Duan Tianming still used his internal strength a little slowly.
His throat rolled up and he said "wow".
The meat buns and vegetable buns that I had just eaten, as well as the chicken legs and roasted pigeon that I had eaten in Daning Dusi yesterday, together with the dry rice that had turned into thin juice in my stomach, were all spit out.
Impartially, he vomited on the "sauce pig head" in his hand.
Suddenly, the old woman's big face became colorful.
Bloated, purple, red, green, and yellow juices hung on the face, looking like a landscape painting that had just been copied.
The remaining government servants in the lobby saw that the master and his wife had been tortured into this state, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
These two people are clearly desperadoes.
If you go up there, you'll be giving away someone's head.
If you don't go up, how can you be worthy of the job of a yamen servant?
"Kill me if you dare. If you don't kill me now, I will kill your whole family later." At this point, the magistrate knew that begging for mercy was useless.
It's better to use your words and show off a "tough guy" image to your family.
"Killing you is no different from killing a chicken. What did you say just now that your father-in-law is the magistrate of Hejian Prefecture?" Xiao Chen let go of the magistrate's bloody right hand with contempt in his eyes and pushed him on the chair.
superior.
"My father-in-law is the magistrate of Hejian, and my father-in-law's father-in-law is an official in the capital. If you dare to do this to me now, you will no longer have a place to hide in the entire Ming Dynasty." The magistrate did not show weakness.
"So powerful, from an official family?" Xiao Chen half-opened his mouth, as if he was frightened.
"Hurry up and call me a doctor to treat the injury. I can also reward your whole family with a whole body." The magistrate actually climbed up the pole.
Xiao Chen chuckled and kicked the magistrate and his chair to the ground.
"There is no need to heal your wounds, but I can give you a chance to call someone. Call all your seven aunts and eight aunts who are officials."
The magistrate lay on the ground, raising his bloody right hand and pointing at the bewildered government officials at the door.
"You idiots, hurry up and invite my father-in-law."
