104 Someone Supporting
The commoners could not fight with the officials. But these refugees were so insensible that they actually dared to threaten him.
Feng Qun was furious and a little flustered. He forced himself to calm down and gritted his teeth. ��Do you think the mayor will listen to you refugees who have just arrived!��
��You deliberately injured people and hid weapons! If you refuse to be punished, your crimes will not be forgiven. I can convict you of being rioters and behead all of you!��
If it weren��t for the fact that Landlord Xiong wanted to use these refugees to chop wood, Feng Qun, who was angered, would really want to kill them all.
The mayor was the only one who could convict them in Woqian Town. How dare a mere bailiff speak arrogantly in front of them?
Qingfeng had already sent someone to ask around. The new mayor, Yang Gongbing, had already arrived at Woqian Town.
Coincidentally, this person was one of Yang Quanzi��s students. He was upright, smart, and flexible. Yang Quanzi had even specially pointed out that he could serve Duke Chu.
Now, they had met.
Cui Shize said in a low voice, ��You��re just a mere official. You��re abusing your powers too much. We��ll go to the court with you now and see how you convict us of being rioters!��
If it were the previous mayor, Feng Qun was completely confident that he could label all of them as rioters. However, the new mayor was old-fashioned and pedantic. If he really went and the new mayor investigated further, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Feng Qun��s heart was beating like a drum, and he was flustered.
The Wang brothers thought that Feng Qun had 100% confidence and said arrogantly, ��How arrogant! The mayor will definitely behead you and you��ll regret it!��
Then, they curled their lips and said with a smile, ��If you kneel down and kowtow to apologize and beg for our Official Feng��s forgiveness, there might still be a hope for you.��
Cui Shize sneered. ��We won��t be the ones regretting it!��
When the bailiffs behind Feng Qun heard Cui Shize��s words, they drew their knives with a whoosh. ��Who do you think you are?�� If Feng Qun was punished, they would also be punished. On that day, they must subdue this group of ignorant refugees.
They drew their knives. ��Swoosha����� All of them grabbed their weapons at the same time.
In a small town, there were no more than 200 officials.
Feng Qun only had 20 subordinates in total.
When their identities failed to suppress Bai Wutong and the others, it was no different from throwing an egg at a rock for them to fight against Qingfeng.
Feng Qun gritted his teeth and said, ��How dare you attack us? You��re rebelling!��
Cui Shize shook his head calmly. ��Wrong, we��re getting rid of evil for the people! If we go to the government, Mayor Yang will naturally make a clear decision!��
With that, Qingfeng and the others charged forward. Before Feng Qun and the others could use their weapons, they were kicked in the knees and fell to the ground on their knees.
They even dared to attack the officials. The Wang brothers were shocked and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
Just as Wang Qi and Wang Chang moved their feet, Lin Yue swept his leg over. The two of them lay in front of Bai Wutong like dogs eating shit. They no longer had the arrogance from before.
Qingfeng led her men to tie them all up.
Feng Qun finally realized how hard the bones of Bai Wutong and the others were. Not only could he not bite through them, but he might also be cut off.
Revenge was a dish best served cold.
Feng Qun thought of what he had done previously. If someone publicized it, the matter would be out of his control. He suppressed the monstrous anger in his heart and said humbly, ��I won��t interfere anymore with the matter between you and Lintian Village.��
It was too late to regret it now.
Cui Shize was indifferent. He looked at them coldly. ��Bring them along. We��ll go to the government office now.��
Feng Qun said amiably, ��Let me and my brothers go. In the future, all the villagers in your village will be under our protection.��
It was a blessing for many people to be able to be protected by the officials. Feng Qun felt that he had already given them enough face.
However, Bai Wutong and the others did not say a word.
Qingfeng stopped Feng Qun from promising any more benefits.
When they realized that Bai Wutong was really sending them to the government, the Wang brothers were even more flustered than Feng Qun. They looked at each other and planned to insist that Feng Qun had nothing to do with them when they arrived at the government office.
There was a new mayor in Woqian Town who would handle matters impartially. There were many commoners outside the government office. There was an endless stream of people trying to find out what was going on, join in the fun, and try to build connections. However, not many people were actually reporting a case.
Yang Quanzi wrote a letter, which was sent to the government office by Qingfeng.
Seeing that there were so many people blocking the government office, Qingfeng jumped lightly and entered the office.
After a while, she found Yang Gongbing, who was focused on handling work.
Qingfeng appeared like a ghost, scaring Yang Gongbing, who was handling official business alone. He said in a deep voice, ��Who are you? How dare you barge into the government office?��
Qingfeng walked over coldly with a domineering aura. She was even more like an official than him.
Yang Gongbing��s heart skipped a beat. Could this be a lord in disguise?
He was wondering if he should introduce himself first when Qingfeng arrived in front of him and handed him the letter.
Yang Gongbing took the letter doubtfully. ��Is this for me?��
Qingfeng looked at him calmly, and Yang Gongbing could tell three words on her face, ��You don��t say��.
Yang Gongbing��s face turned slightly pale. He quickly opened the letter and his eyes widened in surprise. ��Teacher Yang!��
Qingfeng nodded. Yang Gongbing read through the letter quickly, but the smile on his face was gradually replaced by seriousness.
He put away the letter and half bowed. ��When will Senior Brother Cui and the others arrive?�� he asked.
Qingfeng estimated her speed and said, ��Another two hours.��
Yang Gongbing nodded and subconsciously said, ��I��ll go make preparations now.��
Seeing Feng Qun and the other officials, who usually looked down on others, being tied up and brought to the government office, the commoners were both surprised and delighted. They discussed and pointed at them as they followed behind the group to watch the commotion.
Feng Qun and the others had never been humiliated like this before. They wished they could chop up all the refugees who had tied them up, but there was nothing they could do.
The town was only so big. Soon, they arrived at the government office.
When Feng Qun and the others walked out of the government office that day, they probably did not expect them to be tied up.
...
Ling Kingdom did not have any rules that required the officials to be flogged. Cui Shize handed in the case that he had already prepared and led the others to wait quietly for the court to rise.
After a while, they were brought into the government office. The commoners also squeezed in to watch the commotion.
On the way here, Feng Qun had thought about it the same way as the Wang brothers. He refused to admit it even if he was beaten to death, and even wanted to accuse them of killing the officials.
In the end, Feng Qun looked up and saw that the person standing beside the new Mayor Yang was Qingfeng. Instantly, his legs went weak from fear.
Could it be that Qingfeng and the others had the guts to capture them because they were certain that the mayor would support them?
In an instant, Feng Qun��s back was drenched in cold sweat.
