By now he had figured out what happened yesterday. Mo Yu had no intention of taking any action yesterday. He was just waiting to see how the officials would react to the victims.
Now it seems that neither of them has passed Mo Yu's review.
Mo Yu glanced at Gong Wenmin with clear eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said gently: "Master Gong, it's so early?"
Gong Wenmin replied: "The sooner we can do it, the less suffering the people will suffer."
Mo Yu doesn't have any big ambitions, nor does he have the heart to serve the country and the people. He just doesn't want to be bullied by anyone and doesn't want to be helpless when encountering problems.
But every time he saw the people struggling to survive in humiliation, he would think of his past behavior, which made him very unhappy, so he wanted to get rid of the county magistrate.
Gong Wenmin truly has the country and the people in his heart.
After the two of them had a quick meal, they took Goro to the government office.
The road was still filled with victims with numb faces. Mo Yu was clearly unable to control his emotions yesterday, but today nothing could be seen from the surface.
This place was not big to begin with. After walking for a while, we saw the government office sign in the distance.
This side is quite empty, with almost no one walking around.
The county magistrate's residence was just behind the government office. After walking in, he faintly heard a cry for help and Mo Yu stopped.
Walking to the alley next to it, three young and strong men in yamen official uniforms surrounded two women, and kept pulling at the women's clothes with their hands.
Goro called out softly, "My Lord!"
Mo Yu took a look and said, "Go ahead." What he despised most was people who bullied women like this. They were worse than pigs and dogs.
After receiving the order, Goro immediately grabbed two people and hit them in the stomach. He stopped the three people in front of him, turned his back to the two women, and looked at the three people in front of him fiercely with murderous intent in his eyes: "You are doing things for the court, how dare you be so bold and do such a thing near the government office? Aren't you afraid that the county magistrate will punish you?"
After hearing what Goro said, the three yamen runners all laughed and said arrogantly, "Okay, if you have the guts, go in and tell the county magistrate and see if he will pay attention to you."
After saying that, he drew out his scimitar. One of them threatened: "If you kneel down and call us grandpa, I can let you go, otherwise..."
Looked at the knife in his hand.
After following Mo Yu for such a long time, Goro's murderous intent has decreased a lot and he has become much more tolerant. But since he came here, he wants to kill all these scum.
Goro snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, come on." These three good-for-nothings were no match for Goro at all, and they were defeated after just a few moves.
Several people hurried to the government office.
Goro did not chase after him, but just looked at the man who was already dressed neatly and carefully hiding behind Goro.
Mo Yu did not send anyone to stop him.
After everyone had run far away, Mo Yu came over.
He took a look at the two women, both of whom were young, wearing patched cloth clothes, but their faces were very pretty. No wonder the two men had lustful thoughts.
The two girls looked at each other and knelt down in the direction of Mo Yu, obviously knowing that he had sent someone to stop them: "Thank you for saving my life, young master."
Gong Wenmin felt very unhappy. This was what the officials in their court were supposed to do, but they had to ask the people to thank them. This was really embarrassing and made him feel ashamed.
Mo Yu asked them, "No one usually comes to this place now, what are you doing here?"
One of the older women smiled bitterly and said, "We are all ordinary girls. Who knew the flood this time would be so serious? Our parents died. We couldn't survive any longer, so we came out with our sister to see if we could find a job."
As if he had thought of something, he spoke with great difficulty, and bowed his head heavily: "Benefactor, there is a yamen runner who was arrested and imprisoned in the prison for speaking for us. Benefactor, can you save him?"
Mo Yu didn't say anything, just glanced at the two of them, turned around and left.
Goro and Gong Wenmin looked at each other, not knowing whether Mo Yu agreed or not.
Gong Wenmin took out some change from his pocket and said to the two girls, "You guys use this money to buy some food first. I also need to ask the young master's opinion."
After saying that, he followed Mo Yu into the gate of the government office.
There was no one in the lobby, and even the desk was covered with dust, obviously it hadn't been used for a long time. What was the point of having him as a parent official here? Was he supposed to oppress the people? It was ridiculous!
Ge Luo tactfully wiped the chair to give Mo Yu a place to sit. Ge Luo and Gong Wenmin stood on his left and right.
Not long after, a voice came from the source of the goods, faintly: "Sir, what I said is true. Someone outside challenged your authority, and you saw how I was beaten."
As they were talking, a group of people came out in a mighty manner.
The man walking in front was wearing an official robe, and there was still confusion in his eyes as if he had not woken up yet. He had stayed up a little late last night, and even now his mind was still a little confused.
The county magistrate saw someone sitting in his seat and shouted in a dignified voice: "Who are you? How dare you sit in my seat?"
Mo Yu glanced at him nonchalantly, the cold light in his eyes shooting straight at the county magistrate.
If looks could kill, I'd probably be a corpse by now.
Mo Yu did not answer his question, but asked: "You are the county magistrate of this place."
The county magistrate said proudly: "It is me!"
Mo Yu chuckled: "That's perfect, I'm looking for you."
After saying this, he took out the imperial edict that Yi Jinyi gave him when he left Beijing.
He was appointed as an imperial envoy with the power to execute first and report later.
When the county magistrate saw the imperial edict, he felt a sense of disbelief in his heart. This was impossible. Wasn't it said that the imperial envoy would take another route? How could he be here
Mo Yu had been watching the humble, difficult and lowly lives of the common people during this period of time, which challenged his patience all the time. He asked directly, "Do you know your crime?"
The county magistrate was not good at making jokes, but he was first-rate. He said in a confused manner, "Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy, I don't know what I have done to make you ask me about it like this?"
Mo Yu: "Oh? Well, the people in this city are living in such hardship, and there are three of them outside the government office trying to seize the women. What do you say?"
The county magistrate looked viciously at the three people that Mo Yu was pointing at, as they were the ones who had caused him trouble.
