The scene suddenly became cold.
After all, the ambient temperature is not high, and hearing these cold words in the ears will make people feel cold from the inside out.
In fact, many people secretly complained in their hearts about Songpahuang's meddling.
He started counting the number of people as soon as he arrived, and he was counting outside the county government office. It was obvious that he was looking for trouble.
As the saying goes, a new official starts with three things, and everyone can understand that. But you, Song Pahuang, can't let Lord Zhang start the fire first. If there is anything, you can communicate privately.
Now, not only is everyone embarrassed, but no one knows how long they will have to stand on the street.
However, more people gathered nearby to watch the excitement. After all, there was nothing interesting about just calling out names. It would be interesting if something happened that was pointed out.
The people who were already watching bravely moved forward, worried that they would miss the exciting part.
Many people have quietly left and called their families to watch together.
If you think about it, you can understand that in this society where only landlords can afford to light an oil lamp, dark means the stagnation of all social activities. No matter whether you can sleep or not, you have to lie down. The worst that can happen is to count the stars through the huge hole in the roof.
Of course, most people choose to have children, um, the process of producing raw materials for children leaving the factory. This is arguably the only nighttime activity that is tax-free but can be booked.
After the raw materials leave the factory, the fatigue of the day plus the newly created sense of emptiness will make it easier for people to fall asleep. The disadvantage is that if there is one more mouth to feed at home, it will really be a headache.
Before long, the street outside the county government office was blocked by crowds of people.
Rich families brought chairs, brought teapots, and even served snacks.
The poor family had no choice but for the husband to forcefully push the crowd aside and let his wife squeeze to the front as much as possible to see more clearly. Then he would put his runny-nosed child on his shoulders and scold the child to give up the idea of stealing other people's snacks, while keeping his eyes wide open, afraid of missing any moment.
Zhang Mingzhi came from a poor family and he knew what the people were doing.
"Go, light the torches so the people can see more clearly."
After realizing that he was being watched, Lord Zhang quickly gave orders.
"Fellow villagers, please feel free to watch. We in Qinghe are carrying out government affairs. We have nothing to hide. Please feel free to watch."
After discovering that Zhang Mingzhi ignored him, Song Pahuang could no longer control his emotions. After all, as a member of the Songpa family and the only person in charge of the armed forces in this small county, he had not been humiliated like this for a long time.
"Master Zhang!"
Song Pahuang tried his best to calm himself down with the instructions of the patriarch. After all, the patriarch said that before figuring out Zhang Mingzhi's intentions, he should not turn against him easily, because harmony brings wealth.
Song Pahuang stepped forward and said, "Master Zhang, I just said that you haven't mentioned Master Wu's name yet!"
Anyone could hear the dissatisfaction and murderous intent in Song Pahuang's tone.
However, this murderous aura did not last long.
Strictly speaking, none of it lasted longer than he finished the sentence.
A Qinghe-style straight knife appeared on his neck.
The man holding the knife was murderous. He was Liu Sanwa, the former captain of the First Army of Qinghe who had just taken up the post of acting county lieutenant.
“Stand back!”
Liu Sanwa's words were concise and to the point.
"How dare you! What does it have to do with you if I talk to the county magistrate?"
Songpahuang regretted saying this.
Blood was already oozing from his neck.
If Liu Sanwa just puts in a little more effort, all the onlookers today will get their money's worth. Well, it seems they didn't buy tickets either.
As soon as Song Pahuang finished speaking, he quickly tapped the ground with his left foot, and then retreated to his original position at lightning speed. It was hard to imagine that a person of such a physique could become so agile at this time, which caught Liu Sanwa, who had practiced swordsmanship hard, off guard.
All I can say is that human potential is huge, and the reason we don’t use it in normal times is simply because the time has not come yet.
"Master Zhang, what do you mean by this? I simply wished to speak to you closer, but County Lieutenant Liu actually drew his sword and threatened me. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Songpahuang decided to find another way to get back at his old self.
He decided to be reasonable!
Because of the speed with which Liu Sanwa drew his sword just now, he knew that he had to use reason today, otherwise he would be the one who would suffer.
"Oh, indeed, County Commandant Liu, you're overreacting. This Songpabantou isn't an enemy, so how could you draw your sword against him?"
Zhang Mingzhi said in a sullen tone, "Commander Cheng said you never leave anyone alive when you draw your sword, and it seems you didn't do that today. You need to improve on that. You can't forget what you learned in the army when you get to the battlefield."
"you!"
Song Pahuang could certainly see Zhang Mingzhi's favoritism, and everyone present could see it.
"Of course, there are penalties for doing wrong."
Zhang Mingzhi said calmly, "According to military standards, you will be on guard tonight."
Liu Sanwa bowed and said, "I accept the punishment. I will practice my sword skills diligently from now on and ensure that no one can escape again!"
Songpahuang touched his neck and decided to talk about this matter later, because he found that after the interruption of this incident, everyone seemed to have forgotten what he had just said: "Sir, Master Wu's matter is not over yet."
"oh?"
Zhang Mingzhi smiled and stroked his forehead, "Oh, right, there's this matter as well."
Zhang Mingzhi looked around at everyone and said slowly, "I have carefully examined this roster. There is no one named Wu on it, and there is no such thing as a legal advisor in this county's system."
