2253 origin(2/2)
After doing this for a long time, he naturally developed a kind of evil spirit, and the people respected him and feared him. Some even suffered losses under his hands and secretly gave the county magistrate a "living king of hell".
nickname.
"What's wrong, there are so many people?"
Slowly putting down the teapot beside his mouth, the county magistrate squinted his eyes and glanced outward, immediately causing the group of people walking in front to subconsciously take a step back!
"snort!"
Perhaps he was very satisfied with his deterrence. Without waiting for the people to reply, the county magistrate stood up from the chair, patted the non-existent dust on his hands, and continued to say in a cold voice, "What do you want to do with so many people gathering here?"
You also want to rebel?!"
"Ah? Mr. County Magistrate, you are wronged! Common people dare not!"
After hearing these threatening words, several elderly people in the crowd could no longer stay still.
He hurriedly pushed aside the crowd, stepped forward, knelt down and clasped his fists, saying, "How dare the common people rebel? It's just, it's just..."
"I just heard that people over there are dividing houses and land, and you can't help it? Do you want to make trouble?"
After seeing the old men for only a long time and not saying anything, the county magistrate sneered and took over the conversation. However, even a deaf person could feel the coldness in his words.
"this……"
When their secrets were revealed, the leaders of the group blushed and glanced at each other secretly. They hesitated and didn't know what to say.
"What the hell!"
Unexpectedly, at this time, Xian Cheng, who had been acting calm all the time, suddenly changed his expression and slammed the teapot to the ground!
In an instant, the red clay teapot was smashed to pieces! The tea inside also splashed out, mixed with the soil on the ground, and splashed onto the trouser legs of the people around him.
"ah……"
Low exclamations rang out, and the common people looked at the shattered teapot, and their calves began to tremble involuntarily!
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials! As soon as the ordinary people meet the officials, they feel half a head shorter, let alone the fact that the opponent is a county magistrate with a reputation for evil.
"Look at how you look!"
Just when the people were shrinking their necks and wondering whether to sneak away, the county magistrate spoke again!
I just heard him yelling angrily in a tone that said he hated iron and steel, "What does the land allocation in the new city have to do with you! Did you lay the foundation, or did you build the city wall? Everyone wants to take advantage when they see it, and they want to scold them when they can't take it.
!
Don't say that the new city was built by Mr. Xiao Hou from Chang'an with the money and effort. Even if it was built by our county magistrate, what does it have to do with you! People will give it to whomever they like, and let whomever they like live in it! Why should we do it?
To accommodate you? Who do you think you are?!"
"us……"
Being shouted at and scolded so unceremoniously by the county magistrate, the common people who had previously thought that turning their elbows outward would be beneficial and not thinking about their own people first were also stunned.
Yes, what does Xincheng have to do with me?
When a new city was being built, what else did you do besides watch the excitement? Oh, some people might also do business and make some money.
But after it was built, why did I think that I should have a share of it as a matter of course? The county master was not his father, so why should he divide the property among himself?
Thinking of this, countless people drooped their heads, and their faces began to get hot.
To put it bluntly, these people are not unreasonable.
Just now they suddenly heard that the county magistrate was issuing land without their own share, so they felt it was unfair in their hearts, and they came over to ask for an explanation.
Now, having been poured a basin of cold water on me by the county magistrate, my feverish brain has already cooled down. When I think carefully about what happened, I realize that I was indeed the unreasonable party.
"Humph!" Seeing the people slurping and retreating, the county magistrate's cold face finally softened a little!
"Damn it! Seeing how useless you are makes me angry! The county magistrate who suffered a loss today argued with the Marquis to help you leave a piece of land in the best area. If I had known, I should have given you an inch
You can’t even get the land!”
"ah!!!"
As soon as the county magistrate said these words, everyone was stunned! The scene was silent for three seconds before anyone reacted and looked up at the magistrate in disbelief.
