Liuhe Town is not big, but it has a long history, and it has this town in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and is located in the territory of Wuyue. Liuhe Town is named because it is located in Liuhe Pan, Liuhe River turns a corner here, and takes Liuhe Town into its arms in a semicircle, and the soothing and sweet river water gives birth to Liuhe Town, like a bright pearl in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's night.

The blue waves on the Willow River ripple, and a double-decker painting boat with elegant and luxurious decoration flows with the waves on the Willow River.

There was a burst of bamboo in the painting boat, and the smell of wine and meat wafted in the wind, and the two wild dogs on the greedy river bank flowed directly, following the fragrance, tirelessly chasing the painting boat.

Two good-looking female musicians in the painting boat are playing the piano, playing popular tunes.

There are three tables of banquets in the painting boat, and each table is filled with a plate of delicacies from the mountains and seas and a jar of fine wine.

Zhang Xiancheng, Yao Zhushu, Li Dianshi and others sat at the middle table, and the officials of the sixth room of the county bureau who were dismissed by Zhu Ping'an today sat around the three of them, and the other two tables were mostly Xu officials who were dismissed today.

"Zhang Xiancheng, Master Yao, Li Dianshi, you have to be the master for us, he Zhu Ping'an deceived people too much, and he even dismissed all of us. Since ancient times, I have never heard of the county magistrate who has dismissed all the officials of the county office, and he Zhu Ping'an is so unsympathetic and willing to risk the world's disapproval! ”

"That's right, he, Zhu Ping'an, is tearing his face with us, and he wants to go against Quan Jingnan."

"At that time, we also moved out Lord Zhang, but he Zhu Ping'an didn't give him any face. Lord Zhang, Lord Yao, Lord Li, he Zhu Ping'an didn't take you seriously at all. We are not only his subordinates of Zhu Ping'an, but also your subordinates of Lord Zhang. He, Zhu Ping'an, didn't even ask your opinion, and dismissed all of us. He, Zhu Ping'an, is slapping the three of you in the face. ”

"Master Zhang, we offended Zhu Ping'an's little thief for you, you can't sit idly by. Pity me for having a seventy-year-old mother and a one-year-old son, and the whole family is waiting for me to feed me......"

"Lord Zhang, he Zhu Ping'an dismissed me today, and tomorrow maybe it will be Lord Zhang."

A dismissed Xu official ran all the way from Jingnan County to Liuhe Town, and found Zhang Xiancheng, Yao Zhushu and Li Dianshi, just like a cub who was beaten saw his father and mother, and found the backbone, his aggrieved voice trembled, his eyes were red, his nose was sore, and he complained with a crying voice.

Master Yao sat on the table, listening carefully to the complaints of the officials, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuations on his face.

"Okay, okay, how old are you all now, you can cry more than the little peach in Yichun Building. We are the imperial court officials appointed by the Holy Lord, and he Zhu Ping'an wants to dismiss us, but he doesn't have that qualification yet! ”

Li Dianshi was impatient to listen to the complaints of these officials, and one by one like a resentful woman, he reached out and tore off one of the wings of the roast chicken, bit it in his mouth, and said impatiently while chewing heavily. What do you mean to dismiss you today, tomorrow it will be our turn, we are court officials, can you be the same as us! He Zhu Ping'an can dismiss you, but he doesn't have the power to dismiss us!

"I already know about it. Zhu Ping'an's move was really unexpected. Rest assured, we'll call the shots for you. ”

Zhang Xiancheng nodded to a cadre with a gloomy face, he has been operating in the county for decades, and has a lot of eyes and ears, and as soon as a cadre was dismissed, someone had already come to report to him.

Zhu Ping'an dared to dismiss all the officials of the county office?!

After Zhang Xiancheng learned the news at that time, he couldn't help but be surprised, and couldn't believe that Zhu Ping'an dared to dismiss all the officials in the face of the world's disapproval. This kind of thing, throughout the ages, has never been heard of.

I never thought that Zhu Ping'an, a young man and a scholar from a poor family, would be so bold!

"Lord Zhang, he, Zhu Ping'an, has long harbored evil intentions. He has already found a replacement, and today we will be dismissed from the front foot, and the person who will replace us on the back foot will come. I can see through it, Zhu Ping'an, this little thief, he is a bad stomach, as soon as he enters Jingnan, he is calculating us. At that time, we should sign in, we were late and leave early every day, he Zhu Ping'an just reminded us to respond on time in the future, and did not punish us at all, at that time I thought he didn't dare to fart, grit his teeth and swallow blood, but I didn't expect this little thief with a bad stomach, it turned out that he was digging a pit for us at that time, watching us jump. ”

"But no, this insidious thief who was full of bad water took the Ying Mao sign-in book at that time as evidence in court, accusing us of being absent from work for 38 consecutive days without reason, and also moved out of the "Da Ming Law", what official is absent from work for 1 day, he will be punished with 20 small boards, and every 3 days will be added to the first class, and the cane will be beaten with 100 big boards for 20 days!"

As soon as the officials thought of the scene when Zhu Ping'an dismissed them today, they couldn't help but scold Zhu Ping'an.

"Also, when the Japanese invaded the city, Zhu Ping'an ordered everyone in the county office to go to the city wall to die. There are many people, more than 3,000 Japanese robbers, all of whom are strong in martial arts, and they can take arrows empty-handed. Of course we're not going to die. He Zhu Ping'an is now grasping this point and making a big fuss, either ordering us to escape from the battle, or ordering us to retreat from the battle, and threatening to cut off our heads. ”

"Speaking of which, I have to remind Zhang Xiancheng, Yao Zhushu and Li Dianshi, you three adults, you also have to be careful, he Zhu Ping'an can use this against us, and he can use this against you."

"Zhang Xiancheng, you have to prepare early."

"That's right, to put it mildly, absenteeism, neglect of official duties, and desertion, Zhu Ping'an's three felonies against us also apply to the three adults. I'm afraid he, Zhu Ping'an, will also deal with the three adults like this. ”

A cadre said to Zhang Xiancheng and the others half-reminded, half-fueled and angry, and tied the three of them tightly.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's already."

Zhang Xiancheng looked at the three table officials, and said slowly, accentuating his tone when he said the word "already".

Not afraid, but already?!

Already?!

Doesn't that mean......

Zhang Xiancheng's words were shocking, and when the officials heard this, it was like a thunderclap that exploded above their heads, and the officials were like an electric current crossing them, and they looked up at Zhang Xiancheng and the others one by one.

"That's right, as I just said, 'already', Zhu Ping'an has impeached me, Yao Zhushu, Li Dianshi, and the three of us, and the impeachment was submitted to the Yamen of Taizhou Mansion a few days ago."

Zhang Xiancheng said word by word, his face was extremely gloomy.

"Bang! Zhu Ping'an is really damned! The Japanese are really a bunch of waste, why didn't they break through the county town and kill this thief? ”

Although it has been time since he learned the news, as soon as he thought of being impeached by Zhu Ping'an, Li Dianshi couldn't suppress his anger, slammed the wine glass in his hand on the ground, and scolded with gritted teeth.
