Chapter 462

County Magistrate Meng was trembling all over. He pointed at Ye Xiaotian and said, "Stop being unreasonable! Stop being unreasonable! This is not something you can quibble about. I will go and find the county magistrate right away. You have beaten me like this. I must arrest you and punish you severely! "

Squad Leader Zhou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward and said loudly, "Mr. Magistrate, I can testify for the Warden. The Warden did not hit you. When you walked in just now, you were already covered with injuries. It was not the Warden who hurt you. "

"Yes! Yes! "

Su Xuntian stuttered a little at first, but his tone became smooth after only two words, "Mr. Magistrate was already covered with injuries when he walked in. Not only Squad Leader Zhou saw it, but I also saw it. Did you see it?"

"We saw it! We also saw it. The Warden did not hit you! "

All the petty officials, runners, and constables suddenly came to their senses and responded one after another. Their voices were noisy at first, but gradually they converged into a unified voice, "We can testify for the Warden!"

"You … you …"

County Magistrate Meng looked at these serious petty officials and constables in horror. He suddenly felt that he was dreaming. He really hoped that this was a dream, a nightmare that he would wake up from soon.

"Ah! This must be a dream! "

County Magistrate Meng was about to reach out and pinch his thigh. Li Yuncong looked at him and said, "When Mr. Magistrate came in just now, here …"

Li Yuncong pointed at County Magistrate Meng's face and said seriously, "Mr. Magistrate's cheekbones are black and blue. It is obvious that they were injured by fists and feet. The Warden can't even walk now. How could he injure you with his fists and feet?"

County Magistrate Meng was so angry that he asked angrily, "When did my cheekbones become black and blue?"

Li Yuncong raised his fist and punched him hard in the face. County Magistrate Meng took a few steps back. Li Yuncong said, "Look, it's all black and blue!"

Ma Hui suddenly said loudly, "Yes! There are a few muddy footprints on the Warden's back. Look! " Then, Ma Hui raised his leg and kicked Magistrate Meng's buttocks. Magistrate Meng cried out in pain and fell face first onto the ground.

Xu Haoran and the other constables rushed up and kicked Ma Hui fiercely. Then they quickly spread out and exclaimed, "Wow! There are so many footprints! "

A few of the constables who had been waiting for County Magistrate Meng for a long time suddenly rushed up and said to Xu Haoran, "Can we give him a few more kicks?"

Xu Haoran said generously, "Please!"

The constables cupped their hands at Xu Haoran and rushed up excitedly. County Magistrate Meng was just about to get up, but he was held down by the constables and was beaten up again. Su Xuntian said, "Look, there are so many footprints of different sizes. It's really not the work of the Warden. The Magistrate must have been beaten senseless. That's why he's spouting nonsense! "

County Magistrate Meng lay on the ground and said with a trembling voice, "You … How dare you distort the truth? The wound on my head … It's obvious … it's from his crutch! "

Su Xuntian suddenly grabbed the inkstone and smashed it on Meng's head. County Magistrate Meng's eyes rolled back and he fainted immediately. Su Xuntian bent down to take a closer look and nodded with satisfaction. "Hmm, it's done this time!"

…

The constables and constables' actions were definitely not incited by Ye Xiaotian, especially Su Xuntian and Li Yuncong. In the eyes of the world, one was a hopeless loser and the other was a good-for-nothing. Li Yuncong was a sly old official who had a bleak future, an extreme temperament, and was unkind. It was already commendable that they could stand on Ye Xiaotian's side and fight against Qi Mu. But they still stood firmly on Ye Xiaotian's side and fought against the Magistrate of the county. Their courage and determination were even more extraordinary.

Among them, Li Yuncong's performance was especially out of Ye Xiaotian's expectation. Li Yuncong knew his real identity. If Ye Xiaotian was the real official, and Li Yuncong stood on the side of a low-ranking but very powerful official, he might not be at a disadvantage. But he chose to stand on the side of an imposter who was bound to resign sooner or later, and offend a local tyrant in the county's officialdom. It was definitely not out of consideration for benefits. It was purely because of Ye Xiaotian's performance that ignited the blood in his heart.

Ye Xiaotian took a deep look at the two of them and nodded slightly to them. Having obtained Ye Xiaotian's approval, the two of them immediately straightened their chests. Su Xuntian was excited. He suddenly felt that he was not a useless person. He was also a useful person who deserved to be respected. Li Yuncong, on the other hand, had a feeling that he had returned to twenty years ago. His whole body was surging with a kind of youthful hot blood, surging his body and mind.

Squad Leader Zhou picked up Ye Xiaotian's crutch and handed it to him. Ye Xiaotian took it and walked to the middle of the detention room. He looked around at the bailiffs and the soap officers. Looking at their trusting and supportive eyes, he smiled and said, "The Magistrate was seriously injured by someone. Who did this?"

The bailiffs' blood was boiling. When they heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Just now in front of County Magistrate Meng, of course, they firmly denied that it was Ai Dian Shi who went crazy, but now … What did the Warden mean by asking this?

After all, Li Yuncong was a wily old fox who had been in the sixth branch of the county government for a long time. He was also a little older, so he calmed down quickly. His brain just turned a little bit, and he understood Ye Xiaotian's meaning.

Li Yuncong said, "Sir, County Magistrate Meng is in charge of the county's justice. Xu Lin and the others died on the street, and the rest of the gang couldn't find the real murderer, so they vented their anger on the Magistrate of the county and beat the Magistrate to this state. They are really lawless."

Only then did the bailiffs come to their senses. They immediately agreed and said, "That's right! It's the remnants of Xu Lin, Brother Xiang, and the others. Those hoodlums are really too arrogant! "

Ye Xiaotian said, "When I first took office, I said that I would strictly rectify the law and order of the county. I didn't expect that these people would turn a deaf ear to my words, and instead, increase the intensity of their actions. Now, they even wantonly beat up the Magistrate of the county.

Ma Hui, take a few people with you and arrest those hoodlums. We want to use them as examples to open the prelude to the county's crackdown on the hoodlums and criminals. This way, our county will be free of thieves and thieves, and will become a peaceful world where no one will pick up the loot! "

Ma Hui said respectfully, "Yes!" He immediately waved his hand, and left with a few bailiffs.

Li Yuncong moved to Ye Xiaotian's side and whispered, "Sir, County Magistrate Meng will wake up eventually …"

Ye Xiaotian also lowered his voice and said, "What's the plan?"

Li Yuncong coughed and said, "If Sir is asking that, then it's meaningless! If you haven't thought of a good plan, will you fall out with him like this? "

Ye Xiaotian rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Actually, the Magistrate and I are thinking the same thing. He wants to set me up, and I want to set him up."

Li Yuncong had always been a person who only knew how to make fun of others. Hearing this, he gave a rare compliment. He sighed and said, "A gentleman's way of governing others is to give them a taste of their own medicine. Sir's action is very kind, very kind!"

Su Xuntian also wanted to flatter Li Yuncong. After holding back for a long time, he opened his mouth and praised, "Sir and County Magistrate Meng really think alike."

Ye Xiaotian coughed awkwardly and said, "I just didn't expect him to act faster than me. Since that's the case, shouldn't we also act quickly?"

Li Yuncong and Su Xuntian looked at each other. Su Xuntian took the initiative and said, "Sir, I'm good at this!"

Ye Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "Alright! Then you go and do it. "

Li Yuncong was originally worried that Su Xuntian wasn't reliable. However, after thinking about it again, Su Xuntian was the Magistrate's brother-in-law. If he were to search for dirt on County Magistrate Meng, the Magistrate wouldn't be able to question him. Moreover, this would also give the others a signal that the Magistrate was on the side of Ai Dian Shi.

Although the Magistrate was just a decoration, he was still the county's official seal appointed by the imperial court. This flag was more or less useful. At the very least, Ai Dian Shi's crusade against his immediate superior would be successful. Thus, Li Yuncong nodded and retreated to the side.

Looking at Ye Xiaotian's back, Li Yuncong's expression became somewhat complicated. He knew that Ye Xiaotian was a fake Warden and naturally knew the original plan of the Gourd County's officials. He really wanted to tell the truth to Ye Xiaotian, but he didn't know how. He didn't know how Ye Xiaotian would react if he knew that the entire Gourd County's officials had joined hands to dig a hole for him and were waiting to bury him.

If Ye Xiaotian made a prompt decision and chose to immediately slip away, how would they clean up the situation? Fortunately, Ye Xiaotian, County Magistrate Meng, and Qi Mu were currently in a heated battle. Under these circumstances, no one wanted to touch him, which in turn ensured his safety. Thus, he wasn't in a hurry to tell the truth. Thinking of this, Li Yuncong calmed himself down.

…

"He's a fake! He's not a Warden, he's not called Ai Feng, Ai Feng is long dead. His name is Ye Xiaotian, he's a fake Warden! "

When County Magistrate Meng woke up, he found himself locked up in the prison. He didn't expect Ye Xiaotian to be so crazy as to put an official of the imperial court and his immediate superior in prison. Under these circumstances, he couldn't care less about the possible impact of the secret and shouted at the top of his lungs. However …

A jailer looked at County Magistrate Meng sympathetically and said to another jailer, "Did Magistrate Meng's brain really get beaten up?"

Another jailer sighed and said, "Who knows, the weather is unpredictable. Hey, you better stay away from the prison door, some crazy people will bite. "

"County Magistrate Meng is stupid, not crazy."

"Who can say for sure, safety first."

The two jailers walked away while talking. County Magistrate Meng shouted even more crazily. As he shouted, a basin of water was splashed from the side, drenching his head and face. This smell seems like … County Magistrate Meng licked his lips and felt that the smell was not right.

County Magistrate Meng turned his head and saw a big man in the cell next door. Probably because the cell was stuffy, he took off his clothes and stood there naked, holding a wooden bucket in his hand. He stared at County Magistrate Meng and shouted, "Where are you? I was sleeping soundly when I was woken up by you shouting. Are you crazy?! Look at your face, you are still pretending to be crazy? I, Mao Wenzhi, have been locked up here for seven years, and I have never seen a stupid bird like you. To tell you the truth, even if you pretend to be crazy, you won't be able to get out. I tried this trick eight years ago! "

County Magistrate Meng was stunned, "Tried it eight years ago? Didn't you say that you were only locked up seven years ago? "

Mao Wenzhi burst out laughing. "You bastard, so you're still a stupid bird. Can't I break out of prison first and then go to prison? Oh … You are pretending to be stupid. To tell you the truth, pretending to be crazy is useless, and pretending to be stupid is even more useless. I have been pretending since I was young, but I have never been able to hide it. I was always beaten by my parents. You better behave, Sha Leng Er, go squat at the side, or else I will cut you. "

Mao Wenzhi said, threw the bucket away, lay back on the straw and said, "Luckily I didn't relieve myself today, or else it would be a pile of gold on your head!"

"What?"

County Magistrate Meng's nose was also injured by Ye Xiaotian and the jailers, so his sense of smell was not very good. When he heard what Mao Wenzhi said, he realized that this bastard was carrying a toilet bowl, so what he poured out was …

County Magistrate Meng immediately bent down and vomited …
