Chapter 20 Prosecution of Officials

The county gatehouse surrounded a large group of people watching the excitement, and the few officials guarding the gate looked helplessly at the Taoist priest in front of them, who were messing around.

"Fifty Wen, what are you kidding, Daoist I am a person outside the party, you have collected the door fee from the Daoist, why don't you ask the Bodhisattva for the venue fee?

"It doesn't matter what kind of broken Taoist priest you are, first roll in prison with me," Ma San said angrily, he is the official who slandered people, and now when he sees the other party toasting and not eating and drinking, don't blame him Ma Ye is ruthless, there is a way that the county order is greedy for money, and the soap officials bully the people, this official is a general character belonging to the ancient city management, and he really has to be ruthless, and no one dares to touch his moldy head among the ordinary people.

After speaking, he pulled the collar of the Taoist priest, and without saying a word, Daoist Li turned around and ran, howling as he ran: "Come on, the officials are beating people, come on, there are petty officials who are bullying civilians, help!"

He doesn't have to make a big deal out of it, but he estimates that this ancient official is the same as the modern one, he is afraid of provoking the anger of the public, and he can't even waive the cost of making a fuss, besides, he is not unreasonable, the other party does have the motive to slander people, he has not entered the ancient yamen, just take a look, knock on the drum of injustice, and see how the effect is.

"You kid don't run!"

The Taoist priest walked thousands of miles, not to mention anything else, the leg strength was practiced, and a few officials at the door were used to being powerful, especially Ma San, who was fat and fleshy, hummed and hummed without running a few steps, but he was still ruthless, in this Pingchuan County, except for a few big masters, no one dared to touch his Ma San's moldy head, this outsider, first make him half dead.

"No, it's still chasing," Daoist Li felt a little miscalculated, the officials of this year have been passed down from generation to generation, and some of the local tyrants and evil officials are masters who even dare to deceive the officials, not to mention dealing with him, an outsider, no one cares if he is killed or disabled, and the two officials directly pulled out their knives, with a fierce face.

"Damn!" Daoist Li swallowed and spat, this game is a bit big, and hurriedly gave a look to the ugly girl in the crowd, meaning that he was ready to run away at any time.

"Wait a minute!"

Daoist Li hurriedly looked left and right, thinking in his heart, "Who is saying wait a minute, Dao Ye, I admire him," I saw a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties coming over, he was wearing the same green soap robe as Ma San, but the material was finer, and the knife hanging on his waist was also thicker.

"Zhou catches the head. ”

"Brother Zhou, you came just in time. ”

"Brother Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Even Ma San, who was still menacing just now, stopped at this time, arched his hand, and called Brother Zhou, his face was very convinced.

According to the rules of this era, the people, soaps, menzi, and government servants all belong to contract workers, and this arrest is subordinate to the Investigation Department of the Ministry of War, subject to the county order, and belongs to the staff, as for this arrest head in this small county, it is basically like the status of the police chief.

"It turned out to be Zhou Zhutou, who has admired his name for a long time, like thunder," Daoist Li said, no matter what, let's get familiar with it first.

"The emperor of this dynasty worships Buddhism and believes in the Tao, and has issued an edict, monks, Taoist priests, nuns, and monks, traveling abroad, the government should open the door of convenience, and your Excellency is a Taoist priest, so naturally you should not charge the city gate fee. ”

"It makes sense, long live my emperor, long live without borders," Daoist Li suddenly felt that the reigning emperor was a Ming monarch.

Zhou Zhutou stopped Ma San, who wanted to open his mouth, and said: "This Taoist chief, please lend me the monk and Taoist degree from the local government, and let him go after reading it." ”

"Monk Dao Du, what is it?" Daoist Li stiffened, and said, I have never heard of being a Taoist priest and having to apply for an ID card.

"If you don't register, according to the laws of our dynasty, the lonely monk and the wild road are not in this range, that is to say, this small Taoist, you are still a citizen," Zhou Zhutou shook his head, since the emperor of this Daojun came to the throne, it has not been once or twice that a merchant has pretended to be a Taoist monk, and it has really caused a lot of trouble.

The corners of Daoist Li's mouth twitched, and he did it for a long time, he was not a Taoist recognized by the government, at most he was a wild Taoist, and suddenly the whole person was not good, master, old man, why didn't you explain it to me clearly before I left, and you were embarrassed to let me go down the mountain if the formalities were not completed!?

"Are you willing to pay the entrance fee now?"

"Out, out," Daoist Li said weakly.

Fortunately, this week's head catcher is still conscientious, and the fee is only ten cents, and he does not continue to slander people, and Daoist Li walked into the county town with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes amid the laughter of everyone.

The ugly lady doesn't care about this, as soon as she comes in, she is dazzled by the busy scene, all kinds of stalls and shops on both sides of the street, hawkers, hawkers, idlers wandering around, and there are still occasionally sharp maidservant women, this is the fucking ancient life.

Her eyes were gradually attracted by a small stall, where there were several children around, with a look of admiration and envy, only to see that under the blowing and kneading of the old stall owner, one by one the sugar-made fish, shrimp and flowers became shaped, golden and clear, lifelike, the ugly girl subconsciously took one, a pair of big eyes looked at it brightly, it seemed to be able to shine.

"Little girl, one only costs five cents, why don't you ask your father to buy you a bunch?"

Daoist Li smacked his mouth, what kind of eyes does this guy have, Dao Ye I am so young, do I look like a person with a daughter? Dao Ye I haven't even hooked up with a good lady now, it's really unlucky, and I want to leave, but the corner of my clothes was grabbed by a small hand, and the ugly lady stared at him tightly, her eyes full of hope.

"This thing has no other taste than sweet, what is there to buy, hey!" Li Daoshi snorted bitterly, seeing that he didn't buy it, the ugly girl pinched it angrily, I don't know if it's an illusion, this little girl's strength is getting bigger and bigger.

"Boss, come on two strings. ”

Li Daoist is the standard to eat hard and not soft, seeing that the ugly girl has a tendency to make trouble for a day, he suddenly coaxed down, obediently paid, in the envious eyes of other bear children, the ugly girl's two eyes were bent like a crescent moon, 'let's da, da' licking.

"Master Dao, let me take a look, I want to buy a few sets of these clothes, and so are the shoes, all of which are thickened, and I have to eat well, drink well, and play well, by the way. Is there a green building here, Dao Ye, I have come to increase consumption in ancient times!"

As a result, after buying three or four sets of clothes for each of them, booking two first-class rooms in the best inn in Pingchuan County, asking for the best fish and shrimp feast, estimating the time, and doing a Taoist fast, Daoist Li found with some sadness that the old nerd's wallet was deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the silver money in it did not seem to be so spent.

"Alas," Li Daoist was dressed in a brand-new brocade preaching robe, and he deliberately asked the tailor of the silk village to sew a Taiji diagram in front of him, and he wanted to have a lot of sassy bags, but at this moment he was very indecent and opened the shrimp shell, gobbling it up, two hundred miles away from Pingchuan County, there is a long river called Qinghe, where there are many aquatic products, and it feeds a large number of people.

For some reason, the ugly girl was not interested in these fish, shrimp, crabs and mussels, but played with this sugar flower grass like a baby, and Daoist Li pouted: "It's not promising, Xiao Er!"

"What's the matter with the guest officer?"

"What interesting place do you have here, the kind of place where young ladies frequent. ”

Xiao Er touched a cold sweat, I have never seen such a real city, "There is a peach orchard nearby, there is Liu Guan Zhang Jieyi's worship, now the peach blossoms are estimated to bloom, the peach and plum are fragrant, the easiest to attract talented and beautiful people to go out, and the Guan Erye Temple in Qingping Township, it is said that Guan Yunchang's true body was buried." ”

"It's really fake, didn't Guan Yu die in Maicheng?"

While he was talking, there was a sudden noise at the door......
