Chapter 239 Killing the magistrate
The trusted officials of the county magistrates of the county magistrate had a plan with the county magistrate in the morning. Once someone came to check the granary, no matter who it was, they would set fire as soon as possible!
This is basically a way out for most local officials to leave themselves.
Because many local officials will embezzle grain storage and will not let too much food in it.
Once a problem occurs, someone will check it and find out that there is not enough food storage and will be beheaded.
Because grain storage is related to the food problems of countless people when an accident occurs in a place.
This problem is very serious!
Therefore, many times, when facing inspection of the granary, almost all guilty officials will choose to let their confidants set a torch and burn the granary!
In this way, although there is also a crime of ineffective supervision, it is much better than cutting off the head.
So, at this moment, a few of the trusted officials in the yamen did this.
Chen Xiao was prepared and arranged a few officers and soldiers at will to check the granary.
During the whole process, the county magistrate was fearless and had already thought about what he would say when the granary fire broke out later!
About a quarter of an hour later!
The officers and soldiers came back, and at the same time, there were also people like the Guangbu Selangor who had been sent to the granary by Chen Xiao.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers also held several yamen officials, who wanted to set fire!
The county magistrate was surprised to see this scene. He thought that these officials had successfully set fires and were just caught.
Nakurabushi's doctor came over and bowed to Chen Xiao:
"Sir, these guys are going to set fire to the granary!"
Chen Xiao was not surprised, he had guessed it long ago.
Instead, the county magistrate started to perform: "What? The granary was burned? What should I do if I do this? Oh, my negligence..."
Chen Xiao coldly glanced at the county magistrate who was performing wildly, and sneered and said, "Don't be afraid, the granary is not burned!"
The county magistrate was stunned: "Ah? No...isn't it burned?"
The doctor of Kurabushi said: "We caught these people who wanted to burn them. In addition, Lord Chen, we checked the granary and found that the grain storage inside was less than one-tenth..."
Chen Xiao's face changed: "Less than one tenth?"
Then he suddenly looked at the county magistrate: "Okay, do you dare to say that the grain storage in the granary is according to the court's standards? No wonder the porridge is just water and rice is missing. With the rice in the grain storage, you have less than one-tenth of it stored, you?"
The county magistrate looked pale and hurriedly thought about countermeasures in his mind, saying:
"Sir, this is not the case. This is not a disaster. For a while, all the food inside has been eaten up..."
"Dare you still dare to argue?" Chen Xiao shouted angrily.
Immediately, he said to the people present: "Have the porridge in the yamen always been the same as those in these buckets!"
The victims nodded one after another, and some even said, "Just this clear water porridge, once every three days..."
Chen Xiao looked at the county magistrate: "I drank the people two months of clean water to add a few rice porridge. Do you dare to say that you have used up the grain storage?"
The Sankou County Magistrate was so scared that he knelt down and said:
"Sir, this... if these victims don't tell the truth, they are all unruly people..."
Chen Xiao shouted coldly: "I'm still talking nonsense here? Do you think I am really so easy to bully? People drink porridge, you have big fish and meat? Just this, you deserve to die!"
"Sir, please arrange it immediately and let them change the porridge!" said the magistrate of Sankou County.
Chen Xiao sneered: "I'm afraid now? It's too late!"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and shouted: "Shangfang Sword!"
Immediately, an officer and soldier handed over the Shangfang sword he was holding to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao pulled out his sword and said to the Sankou County Magistrate who was kneeling on the ground:
"Today, I will kill you in front of these victims!"
Chen Xiao said, waved Shangfang's sword and chopped off at the county magistrate.
The county magistrate's face changed, he suddenly stood up from the ground and was about to run away, and at the same time he shouted to the yamen runners:
"Save me, stop him..."
Just as the yamen runners were about to move, the officers and soldiers brought by Chen Xiao immediately stopped them.
You know, the officers and soldiers brought by Chen Xiao were all elite officers and soldiers photographed by the soldiers and horses of the five cities of the imperial capital.
What belongs to the modern high-level special police, can the yamen runners in these places fight against?
Before these yamen runners could react, they had already put big knives on their necks.
At the same time, Chen Xiao caught up with the county magistrate and shouted: "Die!"
After the words came, Shang Fang's sword slashed, and a human head flew out directly, rolling on the ground and rolling far away!
This scene scared many people, especially the officials of the county government, whose faces were pale and bloodless!
The people were very excited, looking at Chen Xiao one by one, and knelt on the ground and shouted:
"Master, Master Qingtian..."
Chen Xiao signaled everyone to get up and then spoke:
"I am a special mission of the court and an imperial envoy. Everyone, the court has raised funds for disaster relief. From today on, everyone will not have to go hungry!"
As the words came to an end, the people cheered!
Chen Xiao smiled and said to the doctor of Kurabushi: "Please take out all the grain in the granary and cook thick porridge, so that everyone can eat it!"
"yes!"
The doctor of Kurabeji nodded and went to do it immediately.
Chen Xiao looked at the remaining county officials.
They were all trembling with fear.
Chen Xiao looked at them coldly and said, "You deserve to die too!"
The county magistrate, chief clerk, dictionary, master, etc. were all trembling with fear.
Then Chen Xiao continued, "But, I will save your life for the time being. Now, you will immediately find the nearby grain merchants. I will buy their food!"
“Yes, yes…”
These people were relieved and left to do business.
However, it is at this time.
Shunning Mansion, in the government office!
The prefect looked at a letter from a great man in his hand and sneered on his face.
"Okay, okay, if I help the third prince this time, I will be promoted in the future, and my glory and wealth are just around the corner. Maybe I can still go to the imperial capital to be an official..."
The prefect laughed and then said, "Trouble against the imperial envoy Chen Xiao? What is the background of this Chen Xiao? He actually wants the third prince to deal with it... No matter who he is, this time, he will die!"
After putting away the letter, he began to think about the several plans given to him by the third prince in the letter to deal with Chen Xiao.
There are several solutions!
1. A large number of experts were sent to kill Chen Xiao!
2. On the issue of disaster relief, it is difficult for Chen Xiao to do it, so it is best to prevent him from providing disaster relief smoothly. The court will also question Chen Xiao at that time.
The prefect plans to carry out these two aspects together.
So, he immediately began to order to summon masters to assassinate the imperial envoy Chen Xiao.
In addition, he immediately issued a secret order to say hello to the food merchants around him, and not sell grain to Chen Xiao, and see how he can provide disaster relief!
