Chapter 450

Ye Xiaotian stayed in the Tycoon Grocery Store's backyard for about an hour before he successfully concluded his meeting with the two young chiefs, Li Bohao and Gao Ya, and left with Monitor Zhou with a smile on his face.

Not long after Ye Xiaotian left, Li Bohao and Gao Ya also left. They were still like enemies, glaring fiercely at each other before they left, but there was an irrepressible joy on their faces. After leaving the county town in high spirits, the two quickly returned to their own tribes.

After Ye Xiaotian left the store, he bought two boxes of snacks on the street and went to Madame Ye's house with Monitor Zhou. Ye Xiaotian stayed in the Ye's house for less than an hour. Madame Ye stood in the yard, loudly calling for her neighbor's young boy to go to the Patrol Office for her, and for her son to go home and bring his wife and child back.

After receiving his mother's message, Patrol Officer Luo brought his wife and three-year-old son home. Ye Xiaotian stayed in the Luo's house until evening, and left in the sunset glow. When he walked out of the Luo's house, there was a trace of a heart-palpitating smile on his face, which seemed to be dyed with blood in the sunset glow. But the smile disappeared in a flash, and no one noticed it.

Early the next morning, Ye Xiaotian came to the county government accompanied by Li Yuncong and Su Xuntian. As soon as he entered the Warden's office, he called for Ma Hui, Xu Haoran, and a few others to discuss the matter. Not long after, Monitor Zhou also asked his family to drive a donkey cart to the entrance of the county government, and then slowly walked into the Warden's office with the help of a crutch.

County Magistrate Meng arrived at the county government late in the morning. As soon as he arrived, he rushed to the Warden's office with a gloomy face. Old Lu, who was sweeping the floor outside the office, immediately coughed loudly when he saw him, and then made way for County Magistrate Meng, nodding and bowing to him with a flattering smile.

County Magistrate Meng looked at the yellow-toothed Old Cang with disgust, covered his mouth with his sleeve to hide the dust, and walked into the office. Old Lu stood under the porch with the broom. When he saw Meng Qi enter, he spat at Meng Qi's back and vigorously waved the broom, sweeping up the dust.

Ye Xiaotian sat behind the desk, discussing something with Monitor Zhou, Su Xuntian, Li Yuncong, Ma Hui, Xu Haoran, and a few others. Their voices were very low. Several constables and servants who did not work today were sitting on stools in the corner, whispering to each other, afraid that they would disturb the magistrate.

With a bang, the door was kicked open. Ye Xiaotian raised his head in astonishment and saw Magistrate Meng walking in with a gloomy face. Seeing County Magistrate Meng come in, Monitor Zhou and the others quickly stood up and saluted to County Magistrate Meng.

Ye Xiaotian did not move. He just sat there and modestly saluted to County Magistrate Meng. He said, "Haha, so it's County Magistrate Meng. My body is not well, so I can't stand up to salute. Please don't blame me!"

County Magistrate Meng walked in front of his desk with a gloomy face. He slammed the table and roared, "We are officials, not bandits!"

County Magistrate Meng wanted to blame the death of Xu Lin and the others on Ye Xiaotian, so he felt a little guilty. Naturally, he wanted to make a preemptive strike. His punch caused the inkstone and the brush to jump up. The room immediately fell into a solemn silence.

All the constables and servants stood up and looked at Meng Qingwei in horror. They did not understand why County Magistrate Meng was so furious.

Ye Xiaotian was still sitting there, calm and unruffled. He chuckled and said, "We are not bandits? County Magistrate Meng, are you sure? I feel that if we are talking about the kind of bandits who drink big bowls of wine and eat big chunks of meat, we are indeed not considered as bandits. But if we are talking about shady spies, we are barely qualified. As for officials … Milord, let's not insult the title of 'official'. "

County Magistrate Meng flew into a rage. He said, "I have tolerated you for a long time. That day in the court, you directly reprimanded me. I was too lazy to pay attention to you. I didn't expect you to take an inch and take a mile! Tell me, Xu Lin, Brother Xiang, and the others died violently on the streets as soon as they left the yamen. What do you say about this matter? "

"Milord is asking for my opinion?"

Ye Xiaotian rubbed his chin and said, "How should I put it? Logically speaking, it was absolutely wrong to seek revenge in private. After all, there was the law. But … if the law cannot uphold justice, then what should we do? Let the victims wait for ten thousand years? If we wait for the law to work, then that would be too ridiculous!

I feel that at this time, if the commoners were to give an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, it would be better than swallowing it in silence. It would also be very effective in curbing crime. We can't just allow evil people to do evil, but good people have to be restrained by the law. What kind of logic is this? Whether Xu Lin and the others are guilty or not, you and I both know in our hearts. Evil will be repaid with evil, and it is not necessarily a bad thing. "

County Magistrate Meng sneered. "So you hired assassins to kill people?"

Ye Xiaotian was startled and asked curiously, "I killed people?"

Ye Xiaotian's mind turned and he understood County Magistrate Meng's plan. "Ah … So County Magistrate thinks that I killed Xu Lin, Brother Xiang, and the others myself, or that I hired assassins to kill them?"

County Magistrate Meng sneered. "Isn't that the case?"

"It's your mother's head!"

Ye Xiaotian suddenly jumped up like a crazy tiger. The half-dead look from before was completely gone. He jumped up and down like a ruffian and scolded, "You motherf * cker, you want to trick me? You think I can't see it? Bastard! You are really evil! You said that I killed people. Where is the evidence? Where is the evidence? Show me the evidence! "

County Magistrate Meng was stunned by Ye Xiaotian's scolding. He was an official, and an official with a strong background. He had never been scolded like this in Hulu County. The commoners did not dare to scold him like this. The officials always had to pay attention to their status. Even if they could scold him, they would not lower their status like this. For example, Register Wang. As for Qi Mu, although he had always been bossy and bossy, he had never scolded him like this before. So, he could not react at all.

When he finally came to his senses, he immediately became furious and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you scold a superior official like this? Do you know who you are talking to? "

Ye Xiaotian's voice was even louder than his. He shouted back, "Bastard, you kicked the door in and pointed your finger at me. Do you know who you are talking to?"

County Magistrate Meng was trembling with anger. "I am the County Magistrate of Hulu County, the highest official in the local judicial system. I am your direct superior!"

Ye Xiaotian puffed up his chest and said loudly, "A county magistrate is better than a local magistrate. This is my territory. My direct superior is nothing here! I am a magistrate who makes decisions for the people. I am already thinking highly of you, a dog of a landlord, to speak to you like this. What more do you want? "

County Magistrate Meng pointed at Ye Xiaotian and shouted, "You lunatic, have you forgotten who you are?"

Ye Xiaotian looked at him and sneered, "Do you think that by tying me to this position, you can do whatever you want to me? No way! Meng, you're blind. I was born to mess around with people! "

County Magistrate Meng's face was livid. He slammed the desk and shouted, "I am the County Magistrate!"

Ye Xiaotian puffed up his chest and adjusted his official hat. He said calmly, "I am in charge here!"

County Magistrate Meng pointed at Ye Xiaotian. His chest was heaving up and down violently. He was so angry that he was trembling. "Good! Good! Men, capture him … capture him for me! "

There was silence in the detention room. All the constables and servants were motionless. Unknowingly, the doorway was filled with petty officials and bailiffs who had heard the commotion. They all stood there silently. County Magistrate Meng shouted at Chief Zhou, "You don't want to work anymore? Didn't you hear my orders? You lowly servants, you even dare to slight this official! "

Ye Xiaotian said to County Magistrate Meng, "Your Excellency, although my rank is lower than yours, I am still a court official. You want to arrest me? What are the charges?"

County Magistrate Meng shouted, "To vent your personal anger, you hired assassins to kill people! Xu Lin, Brother Xiang, and six or seven other people died. Is this not a big enough crime? "

Ye Xiaotian said, "Where is the evidence?"

County Magistrate Meng said, "Do I need evidence to arrest you? My words are the evidence! "

"Hu!"

Before County Magistrate Meng could finish his sentence, a walking stick fell from the sky and hit his head hard. County Magistrate Meng felt dizzy. He retreated two steps and sat on the ground. All the petty officials, guards and bailiffs in the room were dumbfounded, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

They had seen many fights between ordinary commoners, but when it came to officials, even if they hated each other to the bone, who would do something so degrading to their status as punches and kicks? But … Ai Dianshi, the weirdo, did it. With a swing of his walking stick, he made Magistrate Meng meditate on the ground.

This was the first time County Magistrate Meng encountered something like this. He looked at Ye Xiaotian in shock and touched his head. His hand was stained with blood. County Magistrate Meng saw the blood on his hand and was about to go crazy. He pointed at Ye Xiaotian and shouted, "Bastard! You dare hit … "

Ye Xiaotian raised his walking stick and jumped on the ground. He was like a frog looking for a mate. He jumped excitedly to Magistrate Meng's side and hit him with the walking stick. "You are the evidence! You are the evidence! I am calling you is the evidence! You are your father's son and you don't need evidence. You can arrest people without evidence? You are the evidence! I hit you and you are the evidence! If you have the ability, you can sue me for destroying evidence! "

County Magistrate Meng was hit so hard that he rolled on the ground. His hair was in a mess. He was bleeding and shouted, "You …. How dare you hit me?"

Ye Xiaotian hit him hard. He suddenly stopped and adjusted his breathing. He smiled calmly and said, "Ah …. County Magistrate Meng, what are you talking about? When did I hit you?"

Magistrate Meng was so angry that he almost fainted. He stood up, stretched out his hand, and shouted at Ye Xiaotian with a trembling voice, "Look! Look, I am covered in wounds and my hand is covered in blood. This is the evidence. Are you trying to deny it? "

Ye Xiaotian said slowly, "Your Excellency, this can only prove that you were injured, but it can't prove that I hit you. This is my office, my territory. If I say I didn't hit you, then I didn't hit you. Do I still need evidence? My words are the evidence! "
