Chapter 142

Seeing that the other party was so unreasonable, Ma San caught him and hit him directly. He was also frightened and had to tell his identity.

Yang Shun was dismissive. He said, "whose crotch is not tied well and put such a thing out? I dare to say that he is an official. Which fucking official will be so shabby that he doesn't even have a pair of pants. You don't feel ashamed. I still want to be ashamed?"

Ma San had no choice but to explain: "we were sent to Jimo by Jiaozhou governor Gao Gao, who is now the county magistrate of Jimo. We were robbed by Jufeng thieves on the way, so we left a pair of underpants. Now adults sent us in the hope that you could give us some clothes, and then arrange adults to meet and discuss the elimination of Jufeng thieves.

Yang Shun dug his nose with his fingers while listening to the other party. After listening, he said, "hit 100..."

Ma Xiaoxiang and his group were full of hope, waiting for Ma San to come back with a large amount of clothes and money. Who knows that he came back with crutches. They asked about the situation. Ma San said: "the 100 family officials guarding the gate of jimoying city think we are refugees. We walk around naked and have no decency, so we beat 100 again."

Ma Xiaoxiang said to him, "are you stupid? Won't you tell me your identity?"

Ma San said with a sad face, "it's ok if we don't say identity. When we say identity, it changes from 30 to 100. They say that an official will walk around naked. This is an insult to an official."

Ma Xiaoxiang felt very ashamed after listening to this sentence, but now there was no way, so he had to discuss with everyone again.

Ma Xiaoxiang sighed: "now we have no way. If we have a gold medal and writing here, we can naturally prove our identity. Now we all have a pair of underpants left. It is impossible to take office in Jimo County, and the other party will look down on us."

They had no choice but to return to Jiaozhou again. Maybe they only had a pair of underpants, tired and hungry. It was evening when they returned to Jiaozhou City. When the gatekeeper saw such a group of people, he directly locked the city gate and didn't let them in, because the other party was worried that he was a refugee.

At present, the most troublesome thing in all parts of dongsanfu is the wandering refugees, so the people in the city shouted to them: "those who want to eat go to the Liu family in Fushan and don't make trouble here anymore. There is no rice food for you to relieve the disaster“

They are directly regarded as beggars. No matter how they explain downstairs, the people upstairs just don't listen.

They explained continuously under the tower that they were Mazhi County, who went out to Jimo to take over the post of Jimo county magistrate today. As a result, the people above were tired of listening, spilled a few pots of urine and turned them into drowned chickens, which made them shut up.

Ma Xiaoxiang and his entourage now feel embarrassed and humiliated. There are dozens of them. They were going to be officials in Jimo. As a result, they met robbers and were robbed, leaving only a pair of trousers and hairpins. Where are they officials? Where dare they say they are officials? This is a disgrace, so they also know that they are very ashamed. The next day, he was robbed They didn't dare to go into the city like this. Instead, they arranged for two families to dress up as refugees and go to the city.

Their two families came into the city and brought a load of clothes from home for everyone to wear. This made them hurry into the city. They spent the night outside the city last night. They were cold, hungry and shivering with cold.

Ma Xiaoxiang took a bath and put on his new official clothes after he had a full meal at home. Then he came to the magistrate's office to complain.

Gao Zhizhou was surprised to see that his assistant was so embarrassed. He said, "how could it be? You actually met the giant peak thief, but the other party didn't hurt your life, but robbed your property and clothes."

Ma Xiaoxiang felt very ashamed when he said this. He repeatedly arched his hands and said, "I have no face to see people."

Gao Gao said: "it's strange that if the other party doesn't hurt your life, he will rob you of your clothes and property. This is what Zhou Wentong ordered. It's to prevent the envoys from the capital from catching him in Beijing. In addition, it's to prevent you from being the county magistrate."

When Ma Xiaoxiang heard Gao Gao say this, he immediately woke up. He was so angry that he scolded: "the bloody Zhou Wentong should take him into the capital and cut him to pieces."

Gao Gao said: "it's troublesome now. You lost the driving post. It's not easy to take him. He is the magistrate of a county. You want to catch him. It's not easy without driving post. That's his intention. Those who are high in profit doubt."

Ma Xiaoxiang said to him, "Sir, what should I do? Sir Gao, I'm your confidant. If something like this happens, you have to decide for me."

Gao said: "it's not easy for you to catch him without a driving post. I have a plan. I can try it and see if he is the behind the scenes. Just ask him to come to Jiaozhou to see our official. If he dares to come, it means he has a clear conscience. If he dares not to come, it means he's playing tricks."

Ma Xiaoxiang said to him, "the great people are really smart."

They immediately arranged for a man to go to Jimo quickly and inform Zhou Wentong that he came here.

They thought Zhou Wentong didn't dare to come. As a result, their yamen reported to them. He said, "Lord Zhou said that he would come tomorrow."

Zhou Wentong dared to come, which made Gao feel miscalculated. Didn't he do it? If Zhou Wentong didn't do it, why did they rob these people of their clothes and token writing? It seems that the only beneficiary of this matter is Zhou Wentong?

He couldn't think of the joints for a moment and a half. He had to say, "let's wait until Zhou Wentong comes tomorrow and see what medicine he sells in his gourd."

At noon the next day, Zhou Wentong came to Jiaozhou Yamen with his full guard of honor, wind and scenery, and met Gao Zhizhou.

Gao Gao immediately met Zhou Wentong in his Zhizhou lobby.

When Zhou Wentong walked into the Zhizhou lobby, he knelt down respectfully and said, "I have seen Zhizhou adults."

As soon as he patted the startled wood, he said, "bold Zhou Wentong, do you know the crime?"

Zhou Wentong arched his hand and said, "I don't know what adults mean?"

Gao said to him, "you colluded with the Jufeng thieves to harm the local squires. It has been known in the capital. The Ministry of officials has removed your official position, and the Ministry of punishment has sent an envoy. You will be escorted to Beijing. Since you are here, let's go this way?"

Zhou Wentong said, "what you said, sir, is there a writing from the Ministry of officials or a driving post from the Ministry of punishment?"

When he asked, he asked the height. If there was no official writing, he could not be deprived of his official status. He could not be escorted to Beijing without driving stickers. He finally understood why the other party robbed them. That's the reason.

As soon as he heard this, he was very angry. He said, "Lord Ma, they were robbed in the suburbs yesterday. Did your Lord die?"

Ma Xiaoxiang was right beside him and mentioned it. His eyes almost burst out fire.

This time, Zhou Wentong pushed him completely. He said, "I don't know what adults are talking about. I've been relieving refugees in Jimo County these days. I don't know what happened outside the city. Since I was robbed, can I report it?"

Gao Gao and Ma Xiaoxiang were so angry with each other that they were so shameless that they pushed it clean. Gao Gao said, "what you committed has happened. Today you threw yourself into the net and someone came to pick up the official clothes of the criminal official."

When Gao Gao gave the order, naturally several of his yamen servants listened to the order and were ready to open their teeth and claws and come to pick it up.

Zhou Wentong stood up and said, "I am the imperial court official. Whoever dares to take my official clothes is a great crime of contempt for the imperial court rebellion."

Zhou Wentong said that these yamen servants did not dare to move forward for a moment.

Gao he said: "your business has already happened. You're still pretending here. Those who are sensible will cooperate obediently, otherwise you will suffer more."

Zhou Wentong said to him, "what's your crime, sir?"

Gao he said, "you colluded with Jufeng thieves and robbed Jimo squires. The Wang family has sued the imperial court. Now the imperial court has issued an order to deprive you of your official position and escort you to Beijing. Now you go?"

Zhou Wentong said to him, "if you want to add guilt, why not? Sir, since you say that the imperial court has ordered the lower officials to be escorted to Beijing, can you have a diploma or a driving post?"

When Zhou Wentong asked, he fell down again.

Gao He sneered and said, "don't think no one knows what you've done. It's not easy to drive the post and writing. I've sent someone back to Beijing to get it. It's estimated that the writing and writing will arrive in three days."

Zhou Wentong said the same thing. He said, "I am the imperial court official. If you want to take away my official clothes, Lord Gao, you are not qualified. You must have the writing of the imperial court."

The other party was so angry with him, he said, "since you are so arrogant and domineering, and let you wear this official uniform on your body for a few days, but now I ask you why Jimo has stopped paying taxes for two months. How did you become a county magistrate?"

Zhou Wentong said: "last year, when Wuqiao mutiny broke out, the imperial court ordered the local government to exempt money and grain for three years to help the local recovery, so there was no money and grain to speak of“

Gao he said: "this is not what the imperial court wants to collect, this is what the local government wants to collect. Now local bandits are rampant, so Jiaozhou also decided to recruit a new army to protect the territory and the people. The tax now collected is the training effect of the new army. You agree and know that it has been paid for several months. Why not pay it now? This is resistance and disrespect."

Zhou Wentong went back directly this time. He said, "this is a mess of life. It's exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes outside the regulations of the imperial court. I won't pay them again. Please don't urge me any more."
