Chapter 57: Can you leave the government office alive

Government hall lobby.

After Li Ke finished speaking, everyone looked at him in surprise.

Including the prefect!

He was a little confused with the silver notes and then spoke:

"Boy, what do you want to do?"

Li Ke sneered: "Hmph, it's naturally to eliminate harm for the people!"

The prefect frowned: "Although I have claimed you a thousand taels of silver, don't do anything randomly!"

Li Ke said: "Since you have collected the money, you must cooperate, right?"

The prefect looked at the money in his hand, then looked at Li Ke, and then gritted his teeth:

"You are right. If our government collects money, we have to do things. You all listen to him and take down our government."

The yamen runners were hesitating, but after all, Li Ke was indeed very majestic at that moment, which made them obey him inexplicably.

At this moment, the prefect said so, and they were not afraid. They immediately stepped forward and held up the prefect's hands.

This prefect really pointed out the money and cooperated so well.

This made Li Ke laugh and cry, and he had never seen such a weird person.

But continue speaking:

"Come here, go to several counties under Shun'an Prefecture immediately and bring all the county magistrates!"

The prefect was stunned again and wanted to speak, but after looking at the 1,000 taels of silver, he held back.

So the yamen runners had to obey and left immediately.

Next is waiting.

Li Ke just sat there, and the dramatic scene here finally attracted the attention of many people.

So as time goes by, more and more people came here to watch outside the lobby at the yamen gate.

Everyone wants to know what the young man who is not wearing official uniform wants to do when sitting in his official position?

In fact, at this time, the prefect also had a lot of doubts about Li Ke.

On the one hand, he cooperated with Li Ke because he received the money, and on the other hand, he continued to cooperate with Li Ke because he was curious.

Anyway, what happened here today made everyone interested and curious.

And everyone is waiting here to see what will happen next.

Time passed minute by minute.

About one or two hours.

The county magistrates of several counties under Shun'an Prefecture arrived one after another.

Because the yamen runner who went to bring the conversation said that the prefect asked them to come, and the prefect had an order. As a small seventh rank official, they dared not disobey, so they rushed over quickly.

When they arrived in the hall, all the five county magistrates under their jurisdiction looked at Li Ke sitting in the hall in a daze.

Obviously, I didn't expect why that young man sat in the position of the prefect?

But the prefect stood below and was held down by two yamen runners?

This scene really made them a little confused.

I wanted to ask, but the quiet and tense atmosphere made them dare not speak easily.

Seeing that everyone was here, Li Ke frowned and patted the gavel hard, and said:

""Shun'an Prefecture has five county magistrates under its jurisdiction, but they all arrived."

Below, a yamen runer stood up and said:

"Everything has been arrived!"

Li Ke squinted his eyes and nodded, then continued:

"Since that's the case, then the question begins. I have emphasized before that this time we are going to eliminate the harm for the people. Now let's talk about the specific incidents in public."

Everyone looked at him, looking forward to what he was going to say next.

Just saw Li Ke speak lightly:

"What is to be tried now is the random tax collection of counties in Shun'an Prefecture."

Hearing this, the prefect's face changed and he understood casually what Li Ke wanted to do.

The other five counties and magistrates also stared at Li Ke.

The surrounding yamen runners and the people outside looked at Li Ke everywhere.

They didn't expect that Li Ke would still dare to say such things at this time.

You should know that the word taxation is an absolute taboo in Shun'an Mansion. No one dares to resist, or even no one dares to mention it.

However, Li Ke actually called the county magistrates in such a crowd and said such words in public.

This really shocked many people.

At the same time, the prefect frowned and sneered, since he knew what Li Ke wanted to do.

Even if you take Li Ke’s money, you will never let Li Ke make trouble again.

So he waved his hands and broke free from the two yamen runners' constraints, then looked at Li Ke and said sneer:

"What do I do when I think you kid, but I didn't expect to be confused about this. Boy, you just dream about running to the Hall of Hell, and you're always looking for death!"

The prefect said, and walked towards the hall.

Obviously, he is not going to give Li Ke another chance to go to court for trial here.

Seeing this, Li Ke spoke lightly to the yamen runners:

"Take the criminal down."

The yamen runners looked at each other, obviously they were a little afraid.

There was an order from the prefect before, but now the prefect obviously doesn't want to play anymore. How dare they continue to obey Li Ke's orders?

The prefect sneered and said, "Why? Are you still addicted? You won't really treat yourself as an official?"

Li Ke also smiled and said:

"Of course I'm not an official."

The prefect snorted:

"It's good that you know, kid, now you're going down and kowtow to admit your mistakes, or take out some money.

Maybe I don’t care about you. Otherwise, it would be difficult for you to leave the government gate alive."

Li Ke still sat upright in his official position and didn't care about his threat.

At the same time, he took out a small finely carved seal from his body in an understatement.

The seal was carved with a majestic and domineering dragon, which was plated on it.

Whether it is material or workmanship, the seal is absolutely unique and unique.

Especially the dragon carved on it, this is a symbol of identity.

Ordinary people, even princes and nobles, must not have anything related to dragons.

Because the dragon represents the emperor, the emperor, and the identity and status.

After Li Ke took out the seal, he gently placed it on the table in front of him.

Then he said lightly:

"Today, I am very curious whether I can leave this mere government office alive!"
