"Sir!"
Class Monitor Zhou looked at Ye Xiaotian and only called him "Sir" before hot tears rolled down his cheeks. At this moment, he was completely disappointed. To the magistrate, to the government, and to the imperial court.
Qi Mu looked at Ye Xiaotian and sneered. He took out an ingot of silver from his sleeve and threw it on the table. With a "dang" sound, the inkstone was broken.
Qi Mu proudly said, "Let's go!"
Qi Mu walked to the entrance of the hall with a proud expression. Xu Lin immediately followed behind him like a dog, while Ye Xiaotian still stood at the entrance.
Qi Mu walked to Ye Xiaotian's side and stopped. He looked at him up and down a few times and asked Xu Lin, "Who is this person?"
Xu Lin understood tacitly and moved closer. He said with a face full of saliva, "This lowly one doesn't recognize him, but he looks like a clown."
Qi Mu laughed, "A clown is good. This lord likes to see clowns. When this lord has a birthday next year, remember to find this clown to make this lord happy. "
Xu Lin nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, yes. This lowly one will remember. It's just a clown. It should be cheaper than Class Monitor Zhou's identity. About … … three taels of silver? "
Qi Mu pretended to be angry and stared at him, "How can my Qi family not be generous? If we invite him to perform for a day, we should at least give him a tael of silver. "
"Hahahaha … …"
Qi Mu looked up to the sky and laughed. He walked out of the hall. Xu Lin hurriedly took a step forward and picked up an umbrella from the corridor. He opened it and put the umbrella over Qi Mu's head and walked out into the rain. The group of thugs and Brother Xiang, who had only received a scolding from Magistrate Hua, all followed.
Old Man Guo and his family also appeared at the entrance. They stood in the rain and looked like a drowned rat. Qi Mu didn't even look at them.
Unknowingly, Magistrate Hua, who had left in shame, appeared in the hall again. He flashed out from behind the screen like a ghost. When he saw Ye Xiaotian, his face was full of anger and annoyance. He regarded all the humiliation he had suffered as Ye Xiaotian's doing.
Staring at Ye Xiaotian, Magistrate Hua angrily said, "You don't know when to stop, don't know when to stop, don't know when to stop, don't know when! Do you understand what Gourd County is like now? Being laughed at as a clown, you're very proud, aren't you? "
"Yes!"
Ye Xiaotian rarely talked back to his superiors. After three years in prison, he had climbed to a position that his father had never reached in his entire life – Xuanzi No.1 Supervisor. He was very good at dealing with his superiors, but at this moment, he did not hesitate. He would never compromise when it came to things that violated his bottom line.
Ye Xiaotian walked into the hall step by step with his crutches. Old Man Guo's family wanted to leave in the rain, but they hesitated for a moment and still followed him into the hall. Although he was afraid of Qi Mu's threat, he still wanted to hear what Ye Xiaotian had to say. Perhaps because of Ye Xiaotian's uncompromising behavior, he instinctively believed that Ye Xiaotian would not admit defeat like this.
"Am I ridiculous?"
Ye Xiaotian suddenly asked, but no one answered. Ye Xiaotian smiled and turned to Old Man Guo. He slowly said, "Old Man Guo, look at your grandson. Look into his eyes and tell him that his father died of illness! Can you say it out loud? "
Old Man Guo shivered as if he had been drenched for a long time. He did not dare to look at his grandson.
Ye Xiaotian then looked at the Zhou and Xu family's neighbors who came to be the witnesses. He limped to the side of the body and lifted the wet white cloth that covered the body, revealing the horrible face. He said to them, "Look at him. A few days ago, he would greet you affectionately and call you uncle and auntie when he went out in the morning. Look at him and tell everyone in this courtroom that he was the one who initiated the provocation and asked for it! "
The neighbors all lowered their heads. Some people suddenly shed tears. They hated their cowardice, but they could not muster up enough courage.
Ye Xiaotian then turned to Magistrate Hua, who was full of anger. He pointed to the plaque hanging high above his head and said, "Magistrate Hua, please look at the plaque above your head and hold up your rank seven official seal. Tell everyone that the humiliation of the Gourd County government and the injustice suffered by the people of Gourd County were caused by me, who was ignorant of the current situation!"
Magistrate Hua's pale face turned red again. Suddenly, he began to regret coming out from behind the screen.
Ye Xiaotian suddenly turned to County Magistrate Meng. County Magistrate Meng was sneering, but when he met Ye Xiaotian's eyes, he suddenly stopped laughing. Ye Xiaotian walked step by step towards him and stared into his eyes. He said, "County Magistrate Meng, please look at these bailiffs and these guards. They are all under your control. Tell them that you are receiving the salary of the court, but you are actually an official of the Qi family. Please tell them loudly!"
County Magistrate Meng's face turned green. He wanted to scold Ye Xiaotian, but his lips moved a few times, but no words came out.
Ye Xiaotian slowly stood up and looked around at everyone in the hall, "From your eyes, I see disappointment, sadness, anger, apathy, indifference, and unsympathetic sneers. If … if you still have a conscience, please touch your conscience and tell me that I am wrong!"
The hall was so quiet that even the drop of a needle could be heard clearly.
"Kacha!"
Another clap of thunder rang out, and someone couldn't help but shiver.
Ye Xiaotian suddenly raised his walking stick and pointed it at the ceiling of the hall, as if he was going to pierce through the ceiling and point to the sky, "The case is over! But the case is not over! If Gourd County can't get justice, there is still the Punishment Bureau. If the Punishment Bureau fails, there is still Yingtian Prefecture. If Yingtian Prefecture fails, there is still Shun Tian Prefecture! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I … will not admit defeat! "
Ye Xiaotian suddenly turned around and walked step by step to the door with the help of his walking stick. Law Tycoon appeared out of nowhere and supported Ye Xiaotian. He said loudly, "Big Brother, if you need money, just tell me! If my father doesn't give it to me, I will agree to go back to the county school to study! "
Ye Xiaotian smiled and patted his shoulder. He let him support him and walked out of the hall step by step. The constables, officials, witnesses, the Zhou family, and the onlookers followed them out of the hall silently. Ye Xiaotian was supported by Law Tycoon. When he walked to the door in the rain, he suddenly heard a shout from behind, "Lord Warden!"
Ye Xiaotian turned around. The rainwater converged into a small stream, dripping from his head to his face. He squinted his eyes and looked through the curtain of rain. He saw that everyone had chased into the heavy rain and knelt down in the rain. Ye Xiaotian's nose suddenly turned sour. More rainwater dripped down his face. He didn't know if it was rain or tears, or if there was rain in the tears and tears in the rain.
When they walked past the gate of the county government, Old Lu, who was in charge of cleaning, ran over with an umbrella. He wanted to kneel down in front of Ye Xiaotian, but was stopped by Ye Xiaotian. Old Lu left the umbrella and respectfully retreated. Tycoon opened the umbrella and found that it was too small to cover his huge body. He shouted at Old Lu without any hesitation, "Uncle, please find me a bigger umbrella."
Perhaps the rain was too loud, but Old Lu didn't hear it. He didn't even turn his head. Tycoon shook his head and sighed at Ye Xiaotian, "Big brother, the people in the county government are too unfriendly to me. Big brother, are you really going to Shuixi to complain to the Commissioner? "
Ye Xiaotian said, "When have you ever seen me give up halfway? However, after this incident, I finally understand that the evil in Gourd County is Qi Mu. If Qi Mu doesn't fall, even if I bring down ten thousand ruffians, the evil in Gourd County will still be endless. So this time, my target is Qi Mu. It's very dangerous. Are you afraid? "
"Oh!"
Tycoon scratched his head with a complacent expression and began to talk to himself, "If I go to Shuixi with my big brother for the sake of my brotherhood, then I don't have to do business anymore. I suddenly feel that running a grocery store is more interesting than going to school. Then I can be free …"
Ye Xiaotian didn't pay attention to him anymore. This kid's mind was always a bit off.
Ye Xiaotian and Tycoon held an umbrella together. It was better than nothing. He walked in the heavy rain and thought to himself, "If I was a real official, I would go all out and sue the capital. Unfortunately, I'm a fake official. If the Gourd County government can't find justice, then I can only seek justice in my own way! "
…
The street opposite the county government was relatively wide, and it was raining heavily. There were no pedestrians, so it was difficult to find a hiding place. It was also not suitable to use a hunting bow in the rain. Therefore, Hua Yunfei only brought a short knife and pretended to be a person hiding from the rain. He hid behind the wall of a house opposite the county government office.
There was a small shed built on the wall of the house, which was used to store firewood and other things. There was also a chicken coop next to it. Hua Yunfei hid under the shed and stared at the movement opposite the county government office.
Before Qi Mu reached the gate, the bodyguards ran out and called a carriage. The carriage was parked in front of the county government office, blocking Hua Yunfei's sight. After a while, the carriage left the county government office under the escort of a group of bodyguards. Xu Lin, Brother Xiang, and other local ruffians walked in the opposite direction.
They were not qualified to go home with Qi Mu, and Qi Mu wouldn't prepare a feast for them to calm down. However, even if Qi Mu didn't prepare a feast, they could. The ruffians were very powerful in the county government office today. Although they were using Master Qi's power, they were still very excited. After sending off Master Qi's carriage, they walked in the direction of a restaurant, talking and laughing loudly.
After a short analysis and judgment, Hua Yunfei sneaked up to them like a wolf.
Xu Lin and the others came to a big restaurant in the rain. They were surprised to find that the restaurant was closed for renovation. They hadn't been to this area for the past few days because of the lawsuit. They didn't expect the restaurant to be closed. There was scaffolding around the restaurant, which had been stopped because of the rain. There was also a shed next to the restaurant, under which were various construction materials. There was a big pit of mud and lime next to the shed, which was already half filled with rainwater.
They were like drenched chickens. The excitement they had when they just walked out of the county government office had passed. Standing under the shed, they felt cold when the cold wind blew. If they went to another restaurant, they would have to go into the rain again. They didn't want to go there in the rain again, so they couldn't help complaining about their bad luck.
The few of them were cursing and planning to enter the restaurant to see if the owner was there. If he was, he would prepare a few dishes for them to go along with the wine. At that moment, Hua Yunfei appeared. He braved the pouring rain and walked step by step towards the shed that these people were sheltering from the rain.
The ruffians didn't pay attention to Hua Yunfei at first. They just thought that he was also here to take shelter from the rain. One of the ruffians even cursed in disgust, "Go away! Stay away from me … "
Before the word "go away" came out of his mouth, Hua Yunfei was like a vengeful cheetah. He stared at the ruffian with hatred and pounced on him.
When the word "go away" came out of his mouth, he opened his mouth slightly and a string of raindrops shot into his throat. Before Hua Yunfei's knife reached him, the rainwater that bounced off the knife had already splashed on him. Immediately after, the blade of the knife pierced through the gap of his mouth, all the way to the handle. The tip of the knife came out of the back of his head with traces of blood.
"Not good, hurry …"
Another ruffian standing at the side was shocked. He warned his brothers while turning around to escape. However, the bloody tip of the knife had already come out of his mouth. Xu Lin, Brother Xiang, and the other ruffians were shocked. They hurriedly picked up some big wooden sticks and fiercely pounced on Hua Yunfei …
