The second hall was completely silent, and everyone looked at Bai Hong. Bai Hong's face was distorted and discolored, and the heaven and man were at war in his heart, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead in a short while.
Seeing Bai Hong struggling like this, Hua Qingfeng became more confident in his heart. Not long ago, Hua Qingfeng could rely on his majesty to oppress an official who was only one rank lower than him into such a state. Hua Qingfeng said word by word: "Master Bai!"
Bai Hong took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped it tremblingly on his face, and said, "It's a very important matter, can you please let the officials...you can think about it."
Hua Qingfeng sneered and said: "Boss Bai, the memorial will be presented to the court today, but I can't wait that long. I don't know what your intentions are?"
Bai Hong seemed to be stung at the corners of his eyes by sweat, he closed his eyes abruptly, the banner hanging in his study suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and three large characters "Ye Xiaotian" suddenly appeared on the blank space, which became six A banner with large characters: "Be kind to Ye Xiaotian!"
Bai Hong opened his eyes abruptly, and said to Hua Qingfeng: "I have only been in Hu County for a short time, and I don't know much about the officials in Hu County. I really can’t sign the memorial together with your lord, please forgive me!”
Hua Qingfeng was stunned. Seeing Bai Hong's appearance, he thought that he was about to be forced to collapse by himself, but unexpectedly, such a transformation happened suddenly. Bai Hong has the temptation to hold great power, and has the opportunity to bring down Ye Xiaotian and promote him to be a county official seal and Baili Zhizun after he leaves office, but he actually refuses.
Thinking of this, Hua Qingfeng became even more afraid of Ye Xiaotian. He knew that Ye Xiaotian was powerful, but he didn't expect that Ye Xiaotian's power was so great that the county magistrate feared him like a tiger. The determination is also greater.
He wants revenge, he wants to destroy the bastard who slept with his woman! He wants to wash away the bad reputation left over from his five-year tenure in Hu County and revive his official prestige, so that he will have a future to speak of, otherwise, if he becomes an official anywhere, he will inevitably be ostracized by powerful subordinates.
Hua Qingfeng thought for a while, swallowed the reprimand to Master Bai, and said with a smile: "Master Bai, don't rush to refuse, if you think about it carefully, maybe... you will change your mind! Zhang Dianshi, come here Hu County has been around for a while, what I said is true, are you willing to join me?"
Zhang Dianshi kept his head down and said nothing, when suddenly Hua Qingfeng called his name, Zhang Dianshi couldn't help but startled. The faces of Li Yuncong and Luo Xunjian have already relaxed. Since even the new master Bai refused to sign, and Zhang Dianshi has always obeyed Ye Xiancheng, how could he agree to join forces with Huazhi County and stab him in the back.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dianshi clenched his teeth, the muscles on his cheeks were tense, he raised his head inch by inch, suddenly nodded vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, I would like to join hands with you to impeach... Ye Xiancheng!"
Luo Xunjian and Li Yuncong were stunned, and looked at each other in disbelief. Bai Hong had the chance to succeed Hua Qingfeng as the county magistrate of Hu County, so he resisted the temptation. Zhang Dianshi... what medicine did he take wrong? Could it be that Hua Qingfeng promised him more benefits than Master Bai
Little did he know that Baihong had personally experienced Ye Xiaotian's methods as early as when he was in Jinling, and he had seen the scene where Ye Xiaotian ran amok in the three ministries and made the three ministers dumbfounded. Tianfu Yin was teased, but he was not injured.
In addition, Bai Hong has relatives in Jinling's official department, and if he gives up this opportunity and endures it for a few years, he still has a chance to come back. He doesn't have to take the risk of offending Ye Xiaotian but may not be able to bring him down. But Zhang Dianshi is not the case. He is an old man who should retire soon, and he will do so as a low-level official.
And Huazhi County promised to share the credit with him, and as his sponsor before leaving office, he wrote a letter requesting to be promoted to a ninth-rank official. With a rank, he would no longer be a miscellaneous official. , he can have a more decent status.
For him, this temptation is far more tempting than the seemingly greater benefits that Bai Hong has obtained, because Bai Hong still has a chance if he gives up this opportunity, and if he misses this village, he will never have this store again. What's more, he was originally from the Central Plains and didn't know much about Guizhou officialdom. In his opinion, as a Zhengyin official, he contacted some colleagues and jointly impeached a deputy. There is absolutely no possibility of failure. So, he decided to take the risk.
Zhang Dianshi's palms were already sweating. He had a heart attack. His heart beat like a drum in order to make this decision, and now he felt a little ringing in his ears. The black shadow disappeared, and he leaned back on the chair, feeling a little exhausted, quickly grabbed the teacup, and drank water in big gulps.
Behind the screen in the lobby, Li Qiuchi thought to himself: "Why didn't Dong Weng ask Zhang Dianshi first? If Zhang Dianshi agreed first, I am afraid Master Bai would not refuse. It is a pity that a powerful person is missing. However, The icing on the cake is just for the sake of looking good, without Master Bai, this matter will definitely be accomplished so far."
Hua Qingfeng got the promise from Zhang Dianshi, and couldn't help being ecstatic. She immediately hit the iron and looked at Gu Jiaoyu and Huang Xundao. Hua Qingfeng had already thought of some excuses, such as listing Ye Xiaotian's crimes, which aroused the hatred of the two old scholars. Xin, for example, Gu Jiaoyu and Huang Xundao are the chief officials of Hu County's education, but the credit for the Yisu incident was exclusively shared by Ye Xiaotian, and he never shared any benefits from the two of them, which provoked their resentment...
As long as Gu Xuexue and Huang Xundao agree to join the joint name, he will definitely agree to it when he turns around and use both soft and hard tactics against Master Bai. At that time, probably only Li Yuncong, a diehard loyalist, and Luo Xiaoye, a military leader who talks about loyalty in the world, still refused. With a joint name, presumably even Zhao Yicheng will come to the wall and push everyone down.
The more Hua Qingfeng thought about it, the more beautiful she became, cleared her throat, turned her head and said to Huang Jiaoyu who was sitting on the side: "Huang Jiaoyu, regarding the county's proposal, you..."
Before Hua Qingfeng finished speaking, he heard a strange cry at the door, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and then the cry stopped abruptly, and it seemed that the cat had its throat cut by someone.
Hua Qingfeng could not help being furious when he heard that the strange cry came from his confidant yamen servant who was in charge of guarding at the entrance of the second hall. Walking up and down, he casually arched his hands to everyone as he walked, like a beckoning cat.
"Hello everyone, hello everyone! Hello inspector Luo, hello Gu Jiaoyu, hello Master Bai, county lord, is this a matter of discussion?"
Holding the gavel in his hand, Hua Qingfeng stared at Ye Xiaotian dumbfounded, as if possessed by an evil spirit: "No, he should arrive in two days, how come...how come..."
"ah!"
Suddenly there was another strange cry, the sound came from the hall, Hua Qingfeng trembled in fright, the gavel fell from his hand, and hit the memorial with a bang.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Zhang Dianshi pulled up from the chair "straightly", his eyes were frighteningly staring, he pointed at Ye Xiaotian, opened and closed his mouth a few times, and suddenly his neck tilted, "Gudong" He fell back into the chair and then slid to the floor.
Sitting on top of him was Luo Xiaoye, who was from a soldier after all, and was quite nimble. He quickly reached out and grabbed his collar, so that he didn't slip off the ground. Seeing Zhang Dianshi's expression Livid, foaming at the mouth, purple lips, pale face, already unconscious.
Luo Xiaoye said in shock: "It's not good, Zhang Dianshi suddenly became seriously ill."
This Zhang Dianshi had a heart disease, and he was tense and relaxed just now, his heart could hardly bear the stimulation, but he didn't want Ye Xiaotian to appear suddenly, and Zhang Dianshi, who was already a little guilty and timid, was too frightened, and he suddenly had a heart attack, and became It looks like this.
There was a sudden chaos in the hall, two people were called quickly, a door panel was removed, Zhang Dianshi was lifted up, and he rushed to seek medical treatment. After Zhang Dianshi was carried away, the chaos in the hall calmed down a little.
Seeing Zhang Dianshi falling ill, Ye Xiaotian felt a little puzzled. He knew that Hua Qingfeng had gathered people in the second hall to deal with him, but he had just arrived in front of the hall, so he didn't hear Zhang Dianshi echoing Hua Qingfeng's words. He also guessed a little bit of Zhang Dianshi's timid look, but... is he so scary
In fact, although Ye Xiaotian was angry with Hua Qingfeng for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, he used him to fight Xu Boyi and Master Wang and then turned around to deal with him, but the person he hated was Hua Qingfeng alone, a small person like Zhang Dianshi who was just waiting to die , is just a role of waving the flag and shouting, he doesn't bother to pay attention to it, why...
After the turmoil passed, everyone took their seats. Ye Xiaotian pretended not to know what Hua Qingfeng was talking about, so he took his seat calmly, and said to Hua Qingfeng: "The lower official was ordered to go to Tongren to ask for relief silver, and now I have sent it to the county. What I am ashamed of is, the lower official Even though I tried my best, I only got about 90% of the previous year's relief money."
Hua Qingfeng squeezed a smile and said: "Last year, several counties were affected by disasters. This year, Tongren Prefecture must take care of them, so it is reasonable that our county's relief money is less than in previous years. Ye Xiancheng has worked hard."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Thank you for your understanding. By the way, the county lord summoned all the county officials here today. I don't know what to discuss?"
The hall suddenly became silent again, everyone looked at Hua Qingfeng, Hua Qingfeng was stared at by so many pairs of eyes, suddenly felt "Alexander". Ye Xiaotian stared at Hua Qingfeng for a moment, and Hua Qingfeng's forehead could not help but see sweat.
Suddenly, a low cough came from behind the screen, reminding Hua Qingfeng: "The matter has come to this, is there any way for me to retreat? It is impossible to retreat, so what if he comes back early? I have no choice. There is only one way to go to the dark!"
Thinking of this, Hua Qingfeng's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "This county has called all the bureaucrats here to discuss your faults and guilt as an official, and plan to jointly impeach you to the court."
Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "Impeach me? Your Excellency, are you kidding me?"
Hua Qingfeng said with a blushing face: "How can you make a joke? There is no joke in this county. You disrespect your boss and accept bribes..."
"Stop, stop, stop..." Ye Xiaotian waved his hand like a fly, interrupted Hua Qingfeng's words, and said bluntly: "You don't need to read these crimes to me, you know I will definitely deny it!"
As soon as Ye Xiaotian arrived, he took the highest seat on the right. He first glanced at the officials on the left, and then at the officials sitting in the same row with him. His voice was very soft and soft: "I heard that someone wants to Jointly sue me, I don't know which gentleman it is, can you please come and see me?"
