County Magistrate Zhou's heart sank to the bottom, and his hands tightly grasped the person next to him.
Upon seeing this, Director Lu angrily rebuked:
"What happened to Mingfeng Town?"
The bailiff finally recovered and saw that County Magistrate Zhou's face was as pale as a dead person's white cloth.
He quickly explained:
"Many snow houses have been built in Mingfeng Town. It's said that a bandit couple, along with their families and followers, have come down the mountain to help everyone. Many people in the town have volunteered to donate money and supplies.
Some were building snow houses. Others were running porridge shops, distributing porridge and medicine. The yamen runner couldn't believe what he saw.
Everything they saw along the way was snatched away.
Their yamen runners all used force to suppress the rebellion.
The most remote Mingfeng Town is peaceful.
Have bandits changed their ways to help others these days? But if they weren't bandits, what would be the point of beating people to death?
"How is that possible? Mingfeng Town is a place where all kinds of people gather. How can they spontaneously help each other?" County Magistrate Zhou felt that he knew every word the yamen runner said.
But it's a bit confusing when put together.
Unless organized by the town government.
He felt relieved because the guy's heavy breathing almost scared him to death.
"Sir, please go and see for yourself. I didn't believe it just now." The bailiff said with a fist salute.
County Magistrate Zhou and Director Lu looked at each other and said, "Was it organized by the mayor of Mingfeng Town and the people from the town government?" He planned to use the people from the Mingfeng Town Government as an example and commend them throughout the county.
The bailiff touched his nose and dared not say a word.
It is said that the people in the town government office were beaten up before they started working.
After complaining a few words, he was beaten up again if they disagreed.
The bandits who came down from the mountains were not polite. They would not let people talk about their difficulties or complaints but would just start beating them up.
While beating someone up, ask if there is any difficulty?
Who the hell dares to say there are difficulties?
The bandits mentioned by the yamen runners were dispatching people from Mingfeng Town, gathering those strong and sturdy men to go into the village to rescue people.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng requisitioned the Mingfeng Town Office and the warehouses at the docks. They built snow houses one after another on the vacant land to provide shelter for the homeless.
Nowadays, people build igloos very quickly.
All the people from all walks of life in Taipei City obeyed the arrangements of Gu Beiheng and Su Qi.
When Su Qi and his friends first came to the town, no one listened to them.
Gu Beiheng, along with Mu Chentao and dozens of people from the Northwest Army, surrounded the people from Beishi and beat them if they didn't obey.
Beat them until they obey.
They also dragged those disobedient people from the town government office to Taipei City and beat them up.
Punching and kicking, every punch hits the flesh.
Those people are naturally obedient.
The people in East and South Markets were very proactive. If Gu Beiheng and his men hadn't come, I'm afraid their homes would have been robbed.
The people in the town government were extremely angry but there was nothing they could do.
In the secret notebook, he wrote the word "death" in big letters for people like Gu Beiheng.
The mayor's wife lingered on the street, wrapping herself tightly in a thick wild duck feather cloak.
I saw Su Qi and the doctor treating people, and typhoid medicine was boiling in pots next to them.
The little maid stepped forward, pointed at Su Qi and shouted coldly:
"Female doctor. Come and take our wife's pulse first."
Su Qi raised her eyes unhappily and placed two fingers on the pulse of the old man lying in the shed in the snow house.
A pair of sharp eyes swept over the little maid, then retracted his gaze.
"Bei Jing. Come here and write down the herbs I mentioned. Schizonepeta tenuifolia, Angelica dahurica, Saposhnikovia divaricata... Give the prescription to the medicine boy at Huichun Hall to get the herbs. Bring back a few extra doses."
In case of an emergency, Su Qi would automatically have someone take the patient to the tent where she performed surgery.
She can use modern medicine under the pretext of this.
"Yes, sister-in-law, there's a girl over there with a broken leg." Gu Beijing said softly. "It looks like she's seriously injured."
"Okay. Ask someone to help the old doctor stay in the snow house, and then carry the girl in." Su Qi arranged in an orderly manner.
Even though it was a blizzard, there were too many people injured.
When she arrived in the town, only Huichuntang and Baohetang were distributing porridge and medicine in the town.
The two clinics were almost eaten alive by those robbers.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng led people to suppress the riot by force.
The people from the two clinics were almost kowtowed to Su Qi and the others.
There are still many oppressed people who are forced to work and insult Su Qi and others for being too vicious.
Seeing that Su Qi ignored her, the maidservant next to her angrily stepped forward and pulled Su Qi's sleeve. "Do you hear me? Our lady has a sore throat.
You have to treat our lady first." The little maid received the mayor's wife's gaze and grabbed Su Qi's sleeve.
The others queuing nearby wailed in their hearts.
This maid must not have seen the female doctor chasing and beating others just now.
Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to do it even if she had the courage.
Everyone silently lit a candle for the little maid.
Su Qi used the little maid's strength to pull her arm over, and then hit her hard in the middle with her other elbow.
With a click.
The little maid opened her mouth and said "Ah~" Her elbow was broken.
"Line up." Su Qi kicked the little maid, knocking her down on the mayor's wife.
The two men fell to the ground.
The mayor's wife looked at her duck-feather cloak, which had rolled in the mud. The clothes she had spent so much money on were now dirty.
She stood up, not caring about her status. Her nails, painted with nail polish, pointed at Su Qi, "Bold female doctor. Do you know who I am?"
Su Qi looked him up and down, and glanced at him with contempt.
Are you so proud of wearing clothes made of wild duck feathers?
The crane cloak with the white fox fur she took off was much better than the wild duck fur. Su Qi thought to herself, am I proud of my wealth?
"Who are you? You are old, ugly and fat. You are so ugly and yet you still come out to scare people. That's what's wrong with you." Su Qi snorted coldly.
Someone in the queue knew the mayor's wife.
He then quietly reminded Su Qi, "She is the wife of the mayor of Mingfeng Town."
The mayor's wife, who had been hit hard, straightened her back. This ungrateful female doctor must be scared, right?
Su Qi suddenly understood.
"The mayor must be a good man."
The mayor's wife snorted coldly and reached out to touch the gold hairpin on her head. "My master is naturally a very good man."
"If I had any heart, I would have divorced you, a bald chicken." Su Qi shook her head and sighed, "The mayor is so pitiful, he has to deal with this ugly guy every day."
The mayor's wife opened her bloody mouth and screamed hysterically: "What did you say? I'll tear your mouth apart, you little bitch, and make you talk nonsense all day long."
Without waiting for Su Qi to take action.
Bai Zhi, who came in from outside, rushed over and gave a series of flying kicks.
Kick the chubby mayor's wife out of the shed.
It slid down a long way.
It stopped right in front of County Magistrate Zhou and Town Mayor Peng.
"I'm the mayor's wife. How dare you go against me? I'll kill your entire family. I'll send the young men to be concubines and the women to be pheasants."
Mayor Peng: ...Can I say I don’t know this woman?
xuey⊙
County Magistrate Zhou: ...You, the wife of the mayor, think you are the queen?
Bai Zhi rushed over like a gust of wind, grabbed the mayor's wife and slapped her more than ten times.
"How dare you scold my master. Not to mention that you are the mayor's wife, even the mayor will be beaten." Bai Zhi's bad temper could not be tolerated, as her master was doing good things.
The local officials in Mingfeng Town are selfish and only care about themselves.
It all depends on the master's use of force to suppress it.
"If you're an official who doesn't serve the people, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes." Bai Zhi cursed as she beat him, "The entire Mingfeng Town is rotten, if it weren't for my master's toughness.
Do you people care about the lives of ordinary people?"
The people nearby were suddenly heartbroken. "Beat to death the town officials who don't stand up for the people."
"What the girl said is right. These corrupt officials are used to abusing their power and dominance. How could they care about our lives?"
Mayor Peng's calves were trembling.
His wandering eyes glanced at the cold profile of County Magistrate Zhou, and all the wonderful words he had just said came back to haunt him.
"Sir, this lady is actually... I'm not very..." Mayor Peng wanted to say that he didn't know her.
Will the county magistrate believe it?
County Magistrate Zhou snorted coldly, "Chief Peng, are you saying she's not your wife?"
Mayor Peng was so flattering that he didn't dare to laugh:
"I just divorced this crazy woman yesterday."
The mayor's wife was furious when she heard this. She had finally saved enough money from selling pork to donate to him an official position, but now he wanted to divorce her.
The tips of Baizhi's ears twitched, loosening just enough to allow the mayor's wife to break free from her restraints.
The mayor's wife threw herself at him, crying and howling, not caring about Bai Zhi. Both sides of her mouth were swollen, and she cried and cursed incoherently: "You heartless thing, how dare you divorce me when you have a seductress."
The mayor grabbed her.
Dare to embarrass him in front of the county magistrate. The people nearby took snowballs and hit Mayor Peng with great precision.
"Go home and sell sweet potatoes."
"Peng Heishan has seized a common woman and is a tyrant. Please, sir, the county magistrate, make a decision." A white-haired old man stumbled over from the crowd and knelt in front of County Magistrate Zhou.
