Gou Dasheng waved his fist and scolded angrily: "The sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed man, in vain for the imperial court officials, actually played these little tricks, really teach people to disdain, this official disdains to fight with you, come to people, blast these people out, close the official warehouse, this official will report this matter to the transfer envoy, report to the imperial court, anyone who participates in the theft of military food will be severely punished." ”

The officials who came with them stepped forward to shout and scold the people, and the Pu knife was waved in the air, and the light of the knife made people dizzy.

Su Jin shouted loudly and said: "Come on, give me this Gou Dasheng who beat the people at will, obstructed the envoy's errand, and wasted the grain!" ”

Gou Dasheng was taken aback, and saw a person flash out behind Su Jin, without saying a word, grabbed his clothes and cut his hands back, crossed his neck and pushed it in front of Su Jin.

Gou Dasheng's subordinates hurriedly came to the rescue, but Ma Han kicked two of them with a bang, glared and shouted: "If you dare to take half a step forward, I will break the neck of this fat pig." ”

Saying that he had added strength to his hands, Gou Dasheng only felt that his wrists were like being clamped by iron hoops, and the big hand on his neck twisted his neck to one side, and the bones on his neck rattled, and Gou Dasheng shouted in fright: "Don't move, don't come forward." ”

The officials hurriedly retreated, shaking the knife and not daring to step forward, Pan Jiang was so frightened that his face turned white, and the two adults began to use force without saying a few words, especially the envoy, who came up and scolded, followed by the move, where is there still a little bit of an official, seeing that the situation is in turmoil, he hurriedly trotted to Su Jin's side and whispered: "Lord Envoy, this is ...... Not so good. ”

Su Jin ignored him, pointed at Gou Dasheng and shouted: "Gou Dasheng, are you guilty?" ”

Gou Dasheng shouted: "Su Jin, you are so bold that you dare to hold the imperial court officials hostage, you ...... You don't want to live anymore......"

Su Jin stretched out his hand and patted him on the fat face and said, "You don't need to take a big hat to buckle me, I am just taking prisoners, although you are an official, but if you break the law, you will still be guilty of the same crime as the people." ”

Gou Dasheng roared angrily: "What law has this official violated? You are the lawbreaker, this official will report today's events to the court truthfully, if you know each other, let me go, otherwise you will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "You don't know what law you have committed?" Is it a crime to obstruct the envoy from running an errand? Beat the people in front of the envoy, and threw the grain from the official warehouse purchased by the court with money and silver on the ground, you are still a warehouse in vain, don't you know the preciousness of these rice grains at this time? ”

Gou Dasheng shouted: "I will pay for the grain, as for hindering you from running an errand, there is no way to talk about it, this official is also doing an errand, if the woman hadn't touched me, I wouldn't have beaten her, this is called self-inflicted." ”

Su Jin spat on his face and said, "If you touch you, you will hit someone, how are you different from robbers and bandits?" It is a fact that you have beaten others, and there are thousands of pairs of eyes here, and it is difficult to deny it, and I believe that when you go to the yamen, there will naturally be many people who will go to testify. ”

Su Jin turned to the people and asked, "Fellow villagers, I took this indiscriminate dog to the Yamen, but is anyone willing to testify?" ”

The people were silent, Su Jin's heart was cold, it seemed that the people of Yangzhou were also like other places, they were afraid of being bullied, and they couldn't help sighing.

Gou Dasheng was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a person in the crowd raise his hand and said: "The grass people are willing to testify, and the grass people saw this official beating the woman with their own eyes, and the woman was afraid that her ribs were also broken." ”

Su Jin took a closer look, this man was Wu Erlang who he and Song Quan went to visit and condolence that night, but he didn't notice that he was also receiving food here.

"You can be careful when you speak, framing the court officials will be imprisoned and suffer lawsuits." Gou Dasheng threatened.

"It's better to eat a lawsuit and go to prison than to starve to death and freeze to death.

Su Jin smiled and said: "Good man, responsible, a bloodless puddle of mud, a good life is earned, not charity." ”

When the surrounding people saw someone coming forward, they listened to Su Jin's words again, and they were greatly stimulated, and suddenly raised their hands and shouted: "We have seen it too." ”

"I'm willing to testify."

"I've seen this dog official beat people with my own eyes......"

The roar of the people resounded in the sky, and thousands of people shouted together, the momentum was really terrifying, Gou Dasheng's face was as white as earth, and he only glanced at the people with resentful eyes, muttering curses in his mouth.

Su Jin signaled the people to be quiet, smiled and said to Gou Dasheng: "Lord Gou, you have seen it, you can't run away for the crime of beating others, let's calculate the other accounts, you just said that you will pay for the food that was spilled on the ground, how are you going to pay for it?" ”

Gou Dasheng said angrily: "It's just a few liters of rice that have been sprinkled, and the compensation will be paid according to the price, and the official will pay two yuan, which is always enough." ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "Two money? Mr. Gou is so rich, he sprinkled a few liters of rice, but it's only a few hundred dollars, and you lost two times at once, isn't this a loss? ”

Gou Dasheng said: "I admit the loss, let go of me." ”

Su Jin said: "That's not possible, let's do things with a clear distinction between public and private, why do we want more compensation from you, it's not fair to you, and the court doesn't lack your extra money, as if the officials take advantage of you, so that you don't have to talk about it in the future." ”

Gou Dasheng was so entangled by him that he was almost crazy, and shouted: "Then what do you say? ”

"It's very simple, you will lose as much as you waste, and you don't need money, just rice and grain, now you have nothing to say."

"Fairness is fairness, but how many meters is there on the ground? You give the number. ”

Su Jin sneered: "How many things does the envoy have to do, do you have time to help you count the meters?" Lie there and count it, and count how much you have wasted, and you will lose as much as you want, and you will not be able to achieve more or less. ”

Gou Dasheng said angrily: "The rice grain and muddy water on this ground are mixed together, how can you count them?" Su Jin, you are bent on making things difficult for me. ”

Su Jin scolded: "You fucking didn't know until now that I was making things difficult for you? It's really a stupid pig, I don't care, if you don't count the amount of food today, the envoy will never let you out of this courtyard, you can rest assured, even at night, the envoy will accompany you here to consume. ”

Gou Dasheng shouted angrily: "Su Jin, you thief, you are bold, you have the audacity to hold and insult the officials of the imperial court, and the official will beat people, so what's wrong with spoiling food?" What can you do with me? It's not your turn to take care of the official's affairs, you count the green onion, and you killed me with a knife. ”

Su Jin said coldly: "Is it really such a bachelor? ”

Gou Dasheng was out of the way, he didn't believe that Su Jin dared to really move him, the only thing Su Jin relied on was the identity of the food envoy, as for cases such as beatings, it was not Su Jin's turn to take care of them at all.

Su Jin raised his head and said: "There is a kind, it seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, I'll show you something, and then you will consider whether to take back what you just said." ”

Su Jin stepped forward, blocked everyone's gaze with his body, took out a thing from his arms, and shook it in front of Gou Dasheng's eyes, Gou Dasheng immediately opened his mouth as if he had Alzheimer's and was half stupid.

Su Jin smiled, took the thing back into his arms, and said in his ear: "I didn't want you to see it, you forced me, but now that you have seen it, you are welcome, you have two choices, the first is to continue to fight with me, I will use this 'Ru I personally presence' brand given by the emperor to treat you for the three crimes of obstructing official business, beating the people to serious injuries, and wasting official food, and will be punished according to the heaviest standards, in short, you will lose your official position, be punished, and be exiled." I know that the emperor will punish me afterwards, but I don't care, I'm a petty official with no rank and no rank, I don't care about losing my official position, and you are going to be dragged into the water by me, if you are unlucky, we will be unlucky together. ”

Gou Dasheng gritted his teeth, the muscles on his face were distorted and deformed, he knew that what Su Jin said was the truth, as long as this brand was taken out, let alone him, even the road transfer envoy would admit it, I really didn't expect the emperor to give this kid the gold medal of 'I came in person'.

Gou Dasheng weighed it again and again, of course he didn't want to be taken by Su Jin for nothing, even if Su Jin would be unlucky afterwards, but out of royal decency, the emperor would probably not take back his life, he was just a small road cangsi, and the emperor would not ruin the majesty of this gold medal for the sake of his mustard-like figure.

"Dare to ask, what is the second way?" Gou Dasheng hopes for a better solution.

Su Jin raised his big finger and said: "Good courage, the first way was ruled out so quickly, and the envoy was impressed by you." The second way is very simple, you pretend not to know about it, I know that this is military rations, and it is a capital crime to use military rations privately, so I might as well tell you, even the official documents of the prefect were forged by me, so once this matter is revealed, I will not be able to protect my nine lives. ”

Gou Dasheng was shocked when he heard this, the kid in front of him was afraid that he was crazy, such a big rebellious thing was so indifferent to him, like no one.

"As long as you keep your mouth shut, I will naturally take care of all this; Luzhou Mansion 500,000 stone grain is on the way to Yangzhou, after the shipment will be made up by the envoy as many as possible, when the time comes, God knows that you know I know, everything is calm, as if nothing happened, and you continue to be your Kuraji, you can also win my friendship, maybe you can help you something in the future, isn't everyone happy? ”

Su Jin's words were quite tempting, but Gou Dasheng knew that this second one seemed to be a happy strategy, but in fact it was a more dangerous road, Su Jin was going to pull himself on this boat, the boat overturned Su Jin couldn't run, he couldn't run, Yangzhou prefect Song Zhen couldn't run, and even a series of officials below the road couldn't get out of it, this Su Jin was simply a harmful spirit.
