Chapter 165 Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety(1/3)
"People are causing trouble?!"
Upon hearing this news, County Magistrate Cao suddenly raised his head, "What's going on?!"
"For some reason, many ordinary people gathered outside the door... They were about to rush into the yamen... Sir, what should I do now?!"
County Magistrate Cao was a little unable to sit still, and the people were causing trouble, so naturally he, the county Magistrate, could not sit still and watch.
He immediately stood up and walked out the door, asking, "Who is the leader of the people who are causing trouble outside the door? Why did he come to make trouble and investigate clearly?"
In recent years, Ping'an County has not made much achievements under his governance, but the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
Things like rushing into the yamen are unprecedented and unheard of.
Therefore, County Magistrate Cao was extremely surprised.
"They...they seem to be aiming for..."
The constable who came said breathlessly, and could not say a complete sentence for a long time.
"Who are you?" County Magistrate Cao frowned slightly.
"It seems to be... your... your son..."
County Magistrate Cao, who was walking outside, suddenly stopped.
He turned around and stared at the servant: "What did you say? Who did you come for?!"
The servant was startled and looked up.
The county magistrate, who has always been kind on weekdays, looks very bad now.
The servant said carefully: "They seemed to be... coming for the young master... and heard from them that it was the young master who killed someone..."
County Magistrate Cao's face suddenly became shocked and angry!
"Rebellious son! How dare he kill people's lives?"
County Magistrate Cao's face turned gloomy.
"Where is he?"
"No, I don't know..." The servant was frightened by the county magistrate's aura.
"Look for me, go and get him back. Go quickly, if he doesn't come back, just break his leg!!"
The magistrate Cao said angrily.
After the servant left in a hurry, he walked up to him and looked a few constables with a hurry.
"Sir, the people outside can no longer stop them!"
"What should I do? Please decide."
County Magistrate Cao looked outside.
Although I couldn't see clearly what was happening outside, the sound outside the yamen was endless.
"The people in your government protect the unscrupulous businessmen, and they have a bright world. Is there any other kingly law?"
"Give us an explanation, and we want an explanation?"
"Mr. Cao... come out quickly..."
“…”
Hearing the screams and scolds outside, County Magistrate Cao's face became even more gloomy.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and looked at the constable beside him: "Where is the person whose mother died... now?"
The two constables looked at each other and shook their heads: "I don't know..."
"Today he appeared outside the yamen and claimed to have grievances. For the sake of the yamen's reputation, I don't know who drove him away... where he is now, my subordinates don't know."
"Go and look for it, and bring him to me!"
County Magistrate Cao said expressionlessly.
"yes!"
...
The crowd outside the yamen finally dispersed.
So many people were in trouble in the yamen, but in the end they couldn't let the yamen come out to give an explanation.
However, it is not without any results.
The gate of the yamen has been closed since the morning and has never been opened until the evening.
All the constables seemed to have disappeared.
Such a scene made many ordinary people think that the people in the yamen were guilty and admitted their conscience.
This is an incredible thing.
It is simply a fantasy for the people to be defeated by the yamen.
It is precisely because of this that the people seemed to be inspired and their momentum suddenly came up.
Even though the crowds in the yamen dispersed, the matter did not end there.
News of protests from the masses at the gate of the yamen soon came from Ping'an County.
It was hotly discussed by more and more evil people and quickly became a hot news event in Ping'an County.
Immediately afterwards, more and more people joined the protest team.
Things are becoming less and less controlled.
Who hasn’t been disgusted by the sky-high medicines from those pharmacies in Ping'an County?
On weekdays, those vendors have access to medicinal materials and sell medicines at high prices. I don’t know how many families have been destroyed and how many people have been indirectly killed.
There are many conflicts between the people and those pharmacies, and this time someone finally started.
The rest, follow below to light the fire.
A raging fire broke out in an instant, and the entire Ping'an County ignited instantly!
The owners of the major pharmacies who learned about this news were so scared that they quickly closed the door.
At this time, let’s avoid the limelight first.
The common people who could not find the outlet for catharsis all pointed their finger at the yamen.
If it were normal, perhaps these ordinary people would not have the courage to do so.
After all, no matter what, the people will not fight against the officials. If it were not forbidden, no one would be willing to go against the government.
But this time, as the situation develops more and more serious, and some people with ulterior motives fan the flames, things gradually become out of control.
Coupled with the silence and non-response of the government, the anger in the hearts of the people was completely aroused.
For a time, more and more people began to point their fingers at the yamen.
After dinner, they took a walk on the street, gathered in teahouses, and did their business in brothels, and angrily scolded the government... At the same time, they asked the government to severely punish those unscrupulous drug shop owners and give everyone an explanation!
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire Ping'an County Government became extremely tense.
Things became increasingly chaotic.
It was also at this time.
In the dark, four or five constables quietly went out from the back door of the government.
Several constables left the city and took advantage of the night to go to a small village outside the city.
Soon, they arrived at the door of a family in Chenjia Village.
One person stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"who?"
A confused sound came from the room.
"Open the door, population survey."
Soon, a rustling sound came from the room.
Soon, the door of the room opened and Chen Xu, who was sleepy, appeared at the door.
"What are you looking for in the middle of the night..."
Before Chen Xu could finish his words, he saw a figure appearing at the door.
Constable!
The constable of the yamen.
He swallowed what he hadn't finished saying yet.
The whole person suddenly became energetic.
"You, you..."
To be continued...
