Chapter 159 Dismissal
Xia Xing'er stared at the magistrate and said coldly, "My Lord, is it possible that the heavens are angry and have sent down fire to burn your fabricated fabrications? I'd like to ask you to rewrite a correct document without any malicious intent so that we can take it away."
The dog-like county magistrate didn't believe that it was really a fire sent down from heaven. "I think you burned it on purpose!"
At this time, Xia Xing'er had to admire the dog county magistrate's thinking process. If it were anyone else, they would have been shocked, but this dog thing actually thought that she did it on purpose. Wasn't it her intention?
But can she admit it? Of course not!
Xia Xing'er spread her hands and said helplessly, "County Magistrate, you can't accuse me with such lies. I have nothing on me, and how could I have burned this document right under your nose?"
The dog county magistrate looked at Xia Xing'er's simple dress and realized there was really no place to hide anything. He was confused and snorted coldly, then returned to his desk to write documents!
The customs clearance document written this time was the same as before, but it was a little more vicious.
He picked it up and admired it for a moment, and was about to order his men to pass it to Xia Xing'er, but before he could hand it over, the document he had just written caught fire again.
He simply threw the burning document out.
Xia Xing'er said with a smile: "The county magistrate burned in your hands this time. You can't possibly have burned it on purpose!"
The dog-like magistrate looked at the ashes on the ground with horror, his face pale, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that I saw a ghost?"
Xia Xing'er: You are the ghost, your whole family is ghosts, I am your aunt, it's wrong that I don't have an unfilial descendant like you!
Xia Xing'er sneered in her heart. She wanted to see what this damn county magistrate would do.
As long as he doesn't change the contents of the document, she will burn each one he writes to see who can bear it more!
The dog county magistrate was a man who didn't believe in superstition, so he started writing on the desk again, with the same content but different expressions!
The paper started to burn before he finished writing. The most surprising thing was that all the other books and papers on the desk were intact, only the page he was writing on was burned!
County Magistrate Gou did not have the chance to write another one this time, as the legal advisor had already walked in with the people from the provincial government.
As soon as the man entered the hall, he immediately said to the County Magistrate, "Who is the County Magistrate of Qu County? Please come forward and listen to my orders!"
The dog county magistrate immediately walked down from the desk and bowed to the person who came to report the news!
The man did not return the gift to the dog county magistrate, nor did he exchange greetings with him. He simply took out the document and read it aloud.
County Magistrate Gou had a smile on his face, thinking that he had finally received the transfer documents. He could leave the small county of Qu County and go to the larger provincial capital, where he could put more money into his treasury.
The gold, silver, jewelry and medicinal herbs that were previously stolen were all recovered, and my mood instantly became better!
The thief who stole from his treasury is still missing, and it’s hard to say whether he will be caught in the future!
Now, as long as he goes to a larger provincial capital, he can fill up the warehouse in his own mansion again!
The dog county magistrate was still dreaming, and what he heard the man read was different from what he expected!
The messenger from the state government read not the promotion order he had been waiting for, but a dismissal order?
What went wrong? Why was it different from what I expected?
Magistrate Gou couldn't wait for the messenger to finish reading the document, so he stood up and interrupted, "Messenger, did you misread this? Shouldn't this document be a transfer order? How could it be a dismissal order? I've served my entire term in Qu County, with merit and no faults. Logically, I should be transferred to the larger provincial capital. How could I be dismissed?"
The messenger was suddenly interrupted and was very unhappy. He shouted sternly: "Those who disrupt the order will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane in court. If they do not repent, they will be punished with ten more strokes of the cane!"
As soon as the messenger finished speaking, a group of guards came in from outside and took the dog county magistrate under control.
Seeing that the guards holding him down were his former subordinates, the dog-like county magistrate coldly said, "You dog slaves, open your dog eyes and see who I am. I am your county magistrate, your direct superior. Aren't you afraid that I will come after you for treating me like this?"
The guards hesitated for a moment, then spoke directly in a businesslike manner.
"My Lord County Magistrate, you can't blame us. We are also doing things according to the will of the higher-ups. If you have any dissatisfaction, go to the higher-ups, don't blame us!"
The dog-like magistrate continued to struggle, shouting, "I want to see if any bastard dares to touch me. I will make sure he dies a miserable death!"
The messenger roared in anger, "The county magistrate is truly a man of great authority. Even now that he's been dismissed, he's still so cruel! No wonder he's capable of such drastic actions as concealing the plague, sealing off the entire city, and deceiving his superiors!"
The dog county magistrate was completely shocked, squinting his eyes and trying to open them wide, "You...how did you know?"
The messenger snorted coldly, "I wonder if the county magistrate has ever heard this saying: 'If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself.' When a plague hit Qu County, you ordered the city gates to be closed, concealed the incident, and failed to promptly administer medicine and treatment. You watched helplessly as the people suffered, and even burned those infected with the plague without authorization. Your actions are now known to the prefect.
The prefect is very angry. Dismissing you from your post is a small matter. The document behind this order has not been read out yet. After dismissing you from your post, he will also put you in jail and raid your house!
When the new magistrate of Qu County arrives, he will escort your family to the provincial capital, where he will personally interrogate you. The verdict after the interrogation could be death or exile. The specific outcome depends on your fate!"
The dog-like county magistrate collapsed to the ground in disbelief. "Why is this happening?"
The guards quickly stepped forward and put the dog magistrate on the bench, and then they hit the dog magistrate with the sticks in their hands.
These guards suffered a lot of humiliation during the tenure of County Magistrate Gou, and they also did a lot of things that went against their conscience.
They had long been dissatisfied with the dog-like county magistrate. They had previously been afraid of the dog-like county magistrate's identity, and they had to make a living under the dog-like county magistrate, so they had no choice but to submit.
Now, after hearing the messenger's words, they knew that the dog county magistrate had fallen and would never have a chance to turn things around. Of course, they wanted to seek revenge for their grievances and vengeance, and they swung their sticks with a little more force than usual.
The dog county magistrate's pig-killing-like shouts echoed throughout the lobby!
After the dog county magistrate had been caned, he was thrown directly into prison. After the new county magistrate took office, he would first be tried before being sent to the prefectural governor for further trial.
While the new county magistrate of Qu County has not yet taken office, all duties will be temporarily managed by the legal advisor.
