Chapter 936 Reversal
Li Tieniu looked at the two dead people.
He turned pale, he was really in trouble this time.
There was total silence in the village.
They all looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao.
The only person here who has some knowledge is Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Other than Mr. Jiang, who else can give them advice?
Jiang Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes.
"Since we have already killed two of them, we might as well kill them all without stopping. Without anyone noticing, who would know that they died in our village? Lest they go back and report us."
As soon as these words came out, the four government officials were frightened.
This is to kill people and silence them.
They don’t want to die.
"No! No, we won't say anything, really, we won't say anything. Master Wang and Gao Yamen, that's...that's..."
The government officials were thinking about how to save their lives, and now they couldn't think of a good excuse even though their eyes were rolling around.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at them and smiled sadly.
The four people were frightened so much that they began to think in a hurry.
“Master Wang and Gao Yamen were accidentally injured by bandits, and we fought hard to survive. It has nothing to do with Lijiacun.”
The villagers were stunned, how could they still talk such nonsense?
“That’s not right, Gao Yamen’s chest wound is not like a bandit’s knife wound! Send the Buddha to the west, each of you will have a knife to patch it up!”
The four yamen servants went up with knives and stabbed Gao yamen servant four times with a grimace. It was really cruel.
This is equivalent to a certificate of surrender. This was cut by one of our own people. When the time comes, they will go back to the Yamen to retract the confession.
These villagers can definitely testify that they were the ones who hacked Gao Yamen to death, and they have knives to prove it.
Jiang Xiao pointed his little finger at Master Wang, and the four of them could only continue to make up for the four blows without doing anything else.
At this time, even if they wanted to distance themselves, they couldn't. They were completely tied to the villagers in the village.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please disperse. The four officials worked so hard and came down to collect taxes. They also encountered ferocious bandits. The extremely ferocious bandits were extremely ferocious and killed many people. Thanks to the bravery of the four officials. Incomparably, he repelled the bandits.
But Master Wang and this official died in the line of duty, which is really a role model for our generation. In this case, we have to send these four officials back to the government office with drums and gongs to show our gratitude. "
The four government officials were smiling but not smiling at all, and their hearts were filled with coldness. The young master Jiang and this group of villagers in front of them were so evil-hearted.
Looking at how well people do things, they are almost tied to the village ship.
Even if they want to go back and slander them in front of the county magistrate, they have no chance.
And with such a big fanfare, if they want to change their story, wouldn't that mean they are lying?
Several elders in the village immediately understood what they should do from the meaning of these words.
Suddenly, the village became busy.
Hundreds of villagers carried the bodies of Mr. Wang and Gao Yamen, beating gongs and drums. In front of them were four government officials wearing red flowers, beating gongs and drums, and carried them directly back to the Yamen near Yanmenguan.
When the county magistrate heard that the villagers actually beat gongs and drums to send the government servants back, and then heard about such a good thing, this was a political achievement of their county.
If a letter like this was sent to Shangfeng, he would definitely have done a great job.
Even if Mr. Wang and Gao Yamen died, they still died in the line of duty.
When you die, you die.
How many people don’t die in a place like theirs every year?
Although his right-hand assistant Mr. Wang is gone, his political achievements are still there.
A dead Taoist friend is not dead as a poor Taoist, and the credit still exists anyway.
Master Wang is gone if he is gone. At worst, he will be replaced by another master.
It was naturally his contribution as the county magistrate to report this kind of thing, and he was greeted with a smile for a while.
The county government office is very happy and harmonious. The county magistrate is approachable and treats the villagers very kindly.
The yamen opens to the south. Those who have no money should not come in. Who would have thought that when they first met the county master, he would be so amiable and chatting and laughing with a group of country people.
The four government officials also had wry smiles on their faces and had to pretend to be serious.
On the way back, one person was stabbed twice, otherwise Mr. Wang would be dead and Gao Yamen would be dead.
It doesn't make sense that they all have to be tailed. Naturally, the acting must be more realistic.
At this point, things are no longer up to them.
In order to save the lives of the whole family, I had to pretend to be like the people in Lijiacun, and this happened.
In contrast, the villagers in Lijia Village pay taxes based on 180 persons.
Moreover, the tax is paid in one, two, and five cents of silver.
The county master will naturally not increase taxes on Lijia Village. This is his achievement. In the future, when the superiors come down to verify the incident, they will definitely go to Lijia Village.
The matter of arbitrary tax collection must not be exposed in broad daylight.
Naturally, Lijia Village followed the rules. Suddenly, Lijia Village was in the limelight.
Other villages are envious of Lijiacun.
Several elders of Lijiacun are also proud. This time they have gained face, and they also taught the rebellious government officials a lesson. Presumably, the four government officials had to keep their mouths shut after they returned.
Speaking out will do no one any good.
In the past, villagers regarded government officials as gods.
For them, it is a majestic and inviolable official authority.
But now I know that these government servants are also human beings, and these official servants are also human beings.
As long as the methods are appropriate, these government servants who bullied them in the past are actually paper tigers.
Li Tieniu didn’t understand how things had developed to this point until he returned to the village.
At that time, he killed Mr. Wang out of anger. Who would have thought that those officials would be so shameless and insult his sister.
My sister killed an official and died. That was a more than deserved death.
Since an official has been killed, the matter has become serious.
What I thought at that time was to just stop doing anything, kill them all, and bury them on the spot without anyone noticing. Who would have known that they had done such a big thing? Go up the mountain and become a bandit.
At any rate, they are not short of money now. Even if they are bandits, they can still eat well and drink hot food.
But who would have thought that things could develop like this?
Look at Mr. Jiang’s move.
The government officials worked with them to cover up the matter, and it turned out to be like this to the outside world. Not only was their village saved, but no one in the village was fine.
The whole village had lingering fears when they returned to the village, but the clan elders held a small meeting with Li Tieniu.
They simply said that they would listen to Mr. Jiang from now on.
These are troubled times. Today they killed the officials, but they no longer have any respect for these government servants. To them, these people are just ordinary people. If they really face life and death, they are no more serious than ordinary people like them. powerful.
Since they can kill bandits and officials, what can't they do?
As long as I can live with Mr. Jiang and have enough to eat.
Mr. Jiang is a smart man and does everything right. Following such a person, they can only live a better life.
