Ye Xiaotian only stayed in the backyard of the "tycoon grocery store" under construction for about half an hour, then successfully concluded the meeting with Li Bohao and Gao Ya, the two young chiefs, and left with Bantou Zhou with a smile.
Not long after Ye Xiaotian left, Li Bohao and Gao Ya also left one after another. The two of them still looked like enemies. When they left, they glared at each other viciously, but there was an uncontrollable joy on their faces, and they left excitedly. After the county seat, the two hurried back to their tribe.
After Ye Xiaotian left from the grocery store, he bought two boxes of snacks on the street, and went to Aunt Ye's house with Bantou Zhou. After Ye Xiaotian stayed at Ye's house for half an hour, Aunt Ye stood in the yard and called out to the neighbors The middle-aged man went to the inspection department for her, and called his son home to bring his wife and children back.
After receiving the message from his mother, inspector Luo took his wife and three-year-old son home. Ye Xiaotian stayed at Luo's house until evening, and left under the sunset glow all over the sky. When he walked out of Luo's house, there was a palpitating smile on his face, as if stained with blood in the sunset glow, but the smile flashed Gone so quickly that no one notices.
Early the next morning, Ye Xiaotian, accompanied by Li Yuncong and Su Xuntian, came to the county government office. As soon as he entered the room where the history was signed, he called Ma Hui, Xu Haoran and others to discuss the matter. Not long after, Bantou Zhou also let his family drive He was taken to the gate of the county yamen in a donkey cart, and walking slowly into the room for the signing of the codes and history, leaning on crutches.
The magistrate of Meng County came to the county government office when the sun was high. As soon as he arrived at the county government office, he rushed to the Dian Shi signing room with a sullen expression. The old Lutou who was sweeping the floor outside the signing room saw him and immediately coughed hard, then made way for Meng County Cheng, nodded and bowed to him with a flattering smile .
Meng Xiancheng looked at the old man with yellow teeth in disgust, covered his mouth with his sleeves to cover up the dust, and walked into the signing room. Old Lu stood on the porch holding his broom, saw him go in, then spat hard at his back, and swung the broom vigorously, sweeping up the dust.
Ye Xiaotian was sitting behind the case, discussing something with Bantou Zhou, Su Xuntian, Li Yuncong, Ma Hui, Xu Haoran and others, his voice was very low, and a few police officers and servants who had no business trip today were in the corner Sitting on the stool in the courtyard, whispering to each other, for fear of disturbing the adults.
With a "bang", the door opened suddenly, and the door was kicked open by someone, Ye Xiaotian raised his head in astonishment, and saw Meng Xiancheng walking in with a gloomy face. Seeing Cheng Meng coming in, Bantou Zhou and the others quickly stood up and saluted Cheng Meng.
Ye Xiaotian didn't move, just sat there, bowed his hands to Meng County Cheng Xuxu, and said: "Hehe, it turns out that the county magistrate has arrived, and the lower official is inconvenient and cannot stand up to salute, please don't blame me!"
Meng Xiancheng walked to his case with a sullen face, thumped the table vigorously, and shouted: "We are officials, not bandits!"
Meng Xiancheng wants to force the death of Xu Lin and others on Ye Xiaotian today, and he feels a little guilty in his heart, so naturally he has to make a good posture and preemptively strike. When he punched, the inkstone and writing brush he punched jumped up, and the room was suddenly silent.
All the policemen and Zaoli stood up and looked at Meng Qingwei in horror, not understanding why Meng Xiancheng was so furious.
Ye Xiaotian still sat there leisurely, and said with a light smile, "We are not bandits? Are you sure, Mr. Xian Cheng? I think, if we are talking about the kind of bandits who drink in big bowls and eat meat in large pieces, we are indeed not considered to be bandits." , but if you want to say that you can't see people and work as a ghost, it's barely enough. As for the official... my lord, let's not insult the title of official."
Meng Xiancheng was furious and said: "I have tolerated you for a long time. You scolded me in the court that day, and I didn't bother to pay attention to you. I didn't expect you to make more progress and get worse! Tell me, Xu Lin and Brother Xiang What do you say about people dying violently on the street as soon as they leave the yamen?"
"My lord, ask me what I think?"
Ye Xiaotian rubbed his chin, pondered and said: "How should I say it? Logically speaking, it is absolutely inappropriate to seek revenge privately. There is a law of the king. But... if the law of the king cannot uphold justice, then what should we do? Let The sufferer has to wait for ten thousand years? Waiting for our king's law to work, that's too nonsense!
I think that at this time, if the people retaliate with an eye for an eye, it is better than swallowing their anger, and it is also very effective in curbing crime. We can't just allow the wicked to do evil, but the good must be restrained by the laws of the king. What kind of reason is this? Whether Xu Lin and the others are guilty or not, you and I understand in our hearts that it is a good thing that evil will be rewarded with evil. "
Meng Xiancheng sneered: "So you just pay for murder?"
Ye Xiaotian was startled, and wondered, "I kill people?"
As soon as Ye Xiaotian thought about it, he understood Meng Xiancheng's plan: "Ah... so the county magistrate thought that I killed Xu Lin and Brother Xiang's gang of ruffians, or that I paid them to kill them?"
Meng Xiancheng sneered: "Isn't it?"
"It's your mother's head!"
Ye Xiaotian suddenly jumped up like a crazy little tiger, the half-dead look just now disappeared completely, he jumped up like a ruffian and cursed: "You fucking want to trick me, think I can't see Come out? You bastard! You are really badass! Say I killed someone, what about the evidence, what about the evidence, you bring the evidence!"
Meng Xiancheng was dumbfounded by Ye Xiaotian's scolding. He is an official, and he is an official with a background. He has never been scolded like this in Hu County. It would not be so self-degrading, such as Wang Zhushu. As for Qi Mu, although he has always bossed him around, he never insulted him so much that he couldn't react at all.
When he finally came to his senses, he was furious and shouted: "You are so bold! How dare you insult Shangguan like this, do you know who you are talking to?"
Ye Xiaotian was louder than him, and shouted: "You bastard, you kicked in the door and gesticulated, do you fucking know who you're talking to?"
Meng Xiancheng was trembling with anger: "I am the county magistrate of Huxian County, the highest local judicial chief, and your immediate boss!"
Ye Xiaotian puffed up his chest, and said loudly: "It's better for the county magistrate to manage now, this is my territory, and the boss here is nothing! I am an official who makes decisions for the people, and you, an official who is a dog for the landlord and powerful Talking like this already makes you think highly of you, what else do you want?"
Meng Xiancheng pointed at Ye Xiaotian and shouted: "You madman, have you forgotten who you really are?"
Ye Xiaotian squinted at him and sneered: "You think you tied me in this position, just thinking that I will let you rub it? There is no such thing as Meng, you are blind, I was born to be with you People are making trouble!"
Meng Xiancheng's face was ashen, he slapped the case hard, and shouted: "I am the county magistrate."
Ye Xiaotian straightened his chest, straightened his officer's hat, and calmly said: "Here, I'm in charge!"
Meng Xiancheng pointed at Ye Xiaotian, his chest heaved violently, trembling with anger: "Okay! Hello! Come here, let him... arrest him for me!"
There was silence in the signing room, all the arresters and servants were motionless, and at some point, the door was crowded with subordinate officials and government servants who came to see the excitement after hearing the sound, and they all stood there silently. Meng Xiancheng yelled at Team Leader Zhou: "You don't want to do it anymore? Didn't you hear my orders? You lowly servants dare to neglect me!"
Ye Xiaotian said to Mengxian Cheng: "My lord, although I am a lower official than you, I am also an official of the court after all. If you want to accuse me, what are the charges?"
Meng Xiancheng yelled: "You bought murder to vent your personal anger! Six or seven people including Xu Lin and Brother Xiang were killed. Isn't this crime serious enough?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "What about the evidence?"
Meng Xiancheng said: "I still need evidence to arrest you? What I say is evidence!"
"call!"
Before Cheng Meng could finish his words, a crutch fell from the sky and hit him on the head with a "bang", which made Meng Xiancheng spin around for a while, took two steps back with stares in his eyes, and sat down on the ground. All the subordinate officials, slaves, and police officers in the room were all dumbfounded, their eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
They have seen a lot of ordinary people fighting, but who in the officialdom, even if they hate each other to the bone, would do something so degrading by punching and kicking? But... Ai Dianshi, an outlier, did just that. With a cane, he sat Meng Xiancheng on the ground in meditation.
It was also the first time for Meng Xiancheng to encounter such a thing. He looked at Ye Xiaotian in astonishment, stretched out his hand and touched his head, and his hand was stained with blood. Ye Xiaotian roared: "Bastard! How dare you hit..."
Ye Xiaotian raised his walking stick and jumped on the ground with one leg, like a toad courting a mate, jumping excitedly to his side, the walking stick in his hand lashed down facelessly: "You are the evidence! You are the evidence! I Calling you is evidence! You don’t need evidence that you are your father’s son, and you don’t need evidence to arrest someone? You are evidence! If I beat you, you are evidence! If you have the ability, sue me for destroying physical evidence!”
The magistrate of Meng County was whipped to the point of rolling and crawling, and his hair came loose, and he yelled bloody, "You... how dare you beat me?"
Ye Xiaotian gave him a severe beating, then suddenly put back his crutches, breathed evenly, and said with a calm and peaceful smile: "Ah... What's your name, Meng Xiancheng, when did this officer hit you?"
Meng Xiancheng almost fainted out of breath, he got up, stretched out the blood on his hand, and shouted at Ye Xiaotian tremblingly: "Look! Look, my body is covered with injuries and my hands are covered with blood. This is Iron proof, do you still want to deny it!"
Ye Xiaotian said slowly: "My lord, this can only prove that you were indeed injured, but it cannot prove that I beat you. This is my signing room and my territory. If I say I didn't beat you, it means I didn't beat you. Do you still need evidence? My words are the evidence!"
