Chapter Fifty-Three(2/2)
Unlike the magistrate of Wuji County, Liu Qing passed directly through the city and found nothing unusual.
It can only be said that I am used to being comfortable.
Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to greet him at the city gate in person. After Liu Qing got off the car, their eyes met and they actually held each other's arms in a tacit understanding.
Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were saluting, were a little surprised. When did the eldest brother become so familiar with Mr. Liu Qing?
Brother is really unfathomable!
Guo Jia and Dian Wei looked at it and thought it was normal, because they were both held hands by Liu Qing.
Liu Qing and Liu Bei praised each other as they walked.
"Jun Zheng showed great power in Bingzhou and destroyed the Southern Xiongnu in one battle. His reputation spread far and wide. Even I was in Youzhou and heard about it."
"Xuande has gained something from his achievements in Youzhou. Is it easy for him to be the county magistrate?"
Liu Bei smiled, showing a hint of helplessness. Obviously, it was not going well!
However, Liu Qing didn't ask any more questions. He would definitely drink some wine later, so he naturally kept these words for the wine table.
"Don't mention it, come on! I have prepared wine and food in the palace. Now the four sides are peaceful, but the horns are still causing trouble in the giant deer. After we drink this wine, we will go and chop off the horns!" Liu Bei put aside the topic and introduced another topic.
a topic.
What? Liu Bei is going to chop off the horns of an ox?
How can this work? Liu Qing also wants to use Zhang Niujiao to deal with the gang of profiteers in Zhongshan County.
Liu Qing and Guo Jia looked at each other. The latter also heard Liu Bei's words, shook his head and followed.
The table Liu Bei set up was also unique. Liu Bei himself did not sit at the main seat, but took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to sit opposite Liu Qing, with Guo Jia and Dian Wei beside him.
Liu Qing and Liu Bei sat across from each other and drank, continuing their complimentary remarks on the road. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei and Guo Jia also joined in. The six of them drank several rounds of wine happily until everyone smelled of alcohol.
"Xuande, I see that you are in a low mood, are you worried?"
Liu Bei shook his head and suddenly looked at Liu Qing seriously, hesitating for a few breaths.
Don’t cry! Liu Qing thought to himself.
"I was invited by the young master to go north to fight against Wuhuan and recover Youbeiping County. After receiving some credit, I was given the post of Anxi County Magistrate. But as soon as I arrived here, I was interrogated by the governor of this county. This...
"Liu Bei was about to speak but stopped.
Zhang Fei beside him immediately took over the words, "This thief is an accomplice of Zhao Zhong, who specializes in inspecting the rewards for the Yellow Turbans. He actually called my eldest brother pretending to be a relative of the emperor. How unreasonable! If the eldest brother and the second brother hadn't stopped me, I would have killed him long ago."
quick!"
"Third brother, no matter how evil the governor is, he is also an official of the imperial court, how can you kill him rashly!" Guan Yu educated him.
"This thief is so shameful. He actually posted a notice asking the people to report my eldest brother's bad deeds. My eldest brother has only been in office for a long time. He has always been good to the people. How can he do such bad deeds!" Zhang Feiyue said louder and louder. At the end, he said it.
Explosive force.
Seeing what Liu Bei was going through, Liu Qing not only didn't feel sympathy, but actually found it funny.
By a strange combination of circumstances, Liu Bei came to Anxi County. Although he became a county magistrate from a county lieutenant, he still had to be "examined" by the postal supervisor. To put it bluntly, the postal supervisor was extorting money. No matter who it was, question it first.
Once again, pay the money and settle the matter. This kind of people are bullies and afraid of hard work, and they don't dare to really offend the people who have done the credit.
It's a pity that Liu Bei has encountered a tough guy. If you want money or an official, I can give it back to you!
Then beat him up!
Liu Qing suddenly came up with a plan. Didn't Liu Bei want to kill Zhang Niujiao? He was thinking about how to prevent him from doing so!
Got it!
"Xuande, the governor is a pawn of the eunuch, and his purpose is just to extort money. If you send some of these officials, this matter can be exposed." Liu Qing said with a smile.
As soon as Liu Qing finished speaking, the three Liu Bei brothers suddenly became quiet, looked at each other, and then looked at Liu Qing.
After a long while, Liu Bei said: "You are serious, don't joke!"
"Hahaha!" Liu Qing suddenly laughed loudly, "Don't blame Xuande, this is a joke. Do you know what I hate the most in my life?"
Liu Qing's words, Liu Qing's smile, and Liu Qing's questions all changed too quickly, leaving Liu Bei in a state of silence, not knowing how to respond.
Finally, it was Dian Wei who spoke out, "What my lord hates most is the eunuchs and his minions!"
Liu Bei then glanced at Guan Yu, then turned to look at Zhang Fei, as if he felt that the young master had something to do.
"Where is the postal supervisor?" Liu Qing suddenly asked.
"Have a rest at Guanyi." Zhang Fei replied.
Liu Qing stood up with a groan and smiled, "Dianwei, give me your riding whip. You go and pull out the governor's post and tie it to the horse post at the gate of the county house!"
"You are not upright!" Liu Bei quickly stopped him, "After all, he is an official of the imperial court!"
Liu Qing sneered in his heart, so what if the imperial officials, Cao Shao, the prefect of Dongjun, and Wang Zhi, the prefect of Wuyuan, all fell into his hands. He immediately yelled with wine: "It's just a postal supervisor, it doesn't matter! You don't punish me today!"
He, he will slander Zhao Zhong, how can he let you go!"
Liu Bei was silent. He thought that the county magistrate was hard-won. Why is it so difficult to do something good for the people?
Not long after, a wailing sound came from outside the county government office. It must have been Dian Wei bringing someone here.
Liu Qing smiled and went out with his whip.
He knew that Liu Bei couldn't help it. This was "Emperor Zhaolie" and he couldn't help it himself, let alone Liu Qing taking the lead now.
The three brothers looked at each other. Zhang Fei looked fierce. Not to mention teaching him a lesson, he even wanted to scratch the governor alive. Guan Yu looked at his eldest brother solemnly, obviously saying that this matter was very important, but he was willing to support his eldest brother.
