A man wearing tattered armor and holding a blunt axe, who looked like a yamen soldier, came up to Xu Xiaoyi, pushed Xu Xiaoyi in the chest, and then asked angrily, "Where is the clerk?"
New officials in the Dagan Dynasty had to present documents issued by the court to prove their identity before they could take office.
This soldier had heard that a new county magistrate was coming. After the previous magistrate was frightened and fled, he became the highest-ranking official and lived a comfortable life here! Now that the new county magistrate has arrived, he must first give him a show of force! Let him know who is the boss here!
Xu Xiaoyi saw that the other party was coming with great momentum, and he didn't provoke him. Moreover, the bull demon actually dared to push me, and I also have the power of cigarettes to bless me, so why should I be afraid of you!
"What paperwork? None!"
"You dare to come here without anything? Do you think my knife is vegetarian? Go back and get the documents and come back here!" Ping Dazhuang approached Xu Xiaoyi step by step. Judging from his momentum, he seemed ready to give him a knife at any time!
"Damn it! Isn't this tetanus blade of yours just for cutting grass? It's covered in rust! And you dare to threaten me with it? It's your honor to come to this shabby place, and you actually dare to ask me for paperwork? Have I smiled too much at you?" Xu Xiaoyi lit a cigarette and cursed:
[The temptation of nicotine: triple your combat power!]
Ping Dazhuang didn't expect that the other party was so tough. He didn't look like a scholar at all. Just when Ping Dazhuang was still confused.
"Pah!" Xu Xiaoyi slapped him. The sound was so clear and crisp that it startled the onlookers. The new county magistrate had actually slapped Ping Dazhuang, a man they normally wouldn't dare to mess with!
Ping Dazhuang was stunned and shocked when he saw that he had been slapped. When he came to his senses, he felt embarrassed. He looked at the people around him who were looking at him, and then he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "If you dare, slap me again! Do you believe I will kill you here?" He threatened Xu Xiaoyi.
Bang!!
Bang!!
Xu Xiaoyi slapped him twice in a row! I really don't understand why there are still people who need this kind of thing. Even if I can't beat you, can't I outrun you?
Looking at the other person's appearance, Xu Xiaoyi immediately understood that the other person must be a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Ping Dazhuang was shaking as he gripped the hatchet. Although he wanted to chop him, he didn't have the guts. He usually only bluffed, but he didn't dare to really chop him. He was already stunned by the blow. The other party seemed to be a tough guy! He had no way out.
Everyone present was stunned. This county magistrate was really too cruel. Perhaps he really had the ability to save Xiqing County.
At this time, Xu Xiaoyi stretched his head out, pointed at his head and said, "If you are a man, chop here. I will count to three. Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"
[Villagers' shock*300]
【Ping Dazhuang's shock*5】
Nice! This is exactly the effect I want. I can get so many points just by pretending to be a boss! Xu Xiaoyi was secretly happy. This really can help me gain points!
All the villagers looked at Ping Dazhuang and Xu Xiaoyi! This new county magistrate was too cruel! How could he let someone chop his own head with a knife?
"3....2......1" Xu Xiaoyi shouted slowly, making the atmosphere even more tense.
When the countdown was about to end, Ping Dazhuang was driven crazy. Anyway, he was the biggest here now, and no one could do anything to him even if he killed the new county magistrate. Ping Dazhuang raised his hatchet and chopped at Xu Xiaoyi.
"Ahhh! Go to hell!"
Xu Xiaoyi dodged the attack gracefully by turning sideways and kicked Ping Dazhuang away with a side kick.
Ping Dazhuang felt like he'd been knocked flying by a bull. How could this delicate young man possess such immense strength? He rolled over on the ground for several rounds. Just as he was about to stand up, he saw the man pick up a hatchet and chop at him. Ping Dazhuang was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Just when the hatchet was a few centimeters away from Ping Dazhuang, Xu Xiaoyi stopped.
Ping Dazhuang had already wet his pants, but Xu Xiaoyi poked him in the head with his finger: "Even though I gave you a chance, you're useless! Remember, when you see me from now on, you'll hide in your shell and behave like a tortoise, understand? Like a tortoise that stays in its shell!"
"Wow, this is too bullying!" Ping Dazhuang was scared and cried. It was so embarrassing that he stood up and ran away quickly, leaving the scene quickly.
Xu Xiaoyi didn't want to pursue the matter too much. He just wanted to pretend to be cool and earn some points. If someone really died, his peaceful life would definitely be affected. He still had to marry three wives!
At this time, Xu Xiaoyi turned around and found that a large group of people were kneeling down to worship him. They were the villagers. What was going on?
"Mr. County Magistrate! Please save us! Xiqing County has suffered a severe drought this year and the crops have failed! There are also bandits causing chaos, and our lives are simply like hell! Five people starved to death yesterday alone!" A ragged old man with a long beard said with tears in his eyes.
"Wait! Who is your county magistrate? Don't talk nonsense." Xu Xiaoyi unconsciously took half a step back.
"Sir, you won't abandon us after seeing our current situation here! From the moment I saw you subdue Ping Dazhuang, I knew you were a capable man! You must have a way to save us!" The ragged old man kowtowed hard and said.
"Stop, stop, stop! I understand what you mean. You treat me as your county magistrate! And old man, don't try to use moral kidnapping to kidnap an immoral person like me!" Xu Xiaoyi waved his hands and complained helplessly.
"Sir, we don't understand what you mean. I only know that if you don't intervene today, we really won't be able to survive. The court is inactive, the crops are failing, bandits are rampant, and Ping Dazhuang and Shan Daqing, relying on their positions as soldiers of the previous county magistrate, are bullying men and women and plundering them. Are you really going to watch us die without helping?"
The old man wiped his tears and snot as more and more villagers gathered around him and knelt down in the direction of Xu Xiaoyi.
"Oh, but what does this have to do with me?" Xu Xiaoyi looked at them coldly. This matter had nothing to do with him. He wasn't even a county magistrate. It was just a misunderstanding. He had no rights! No one could kidnap him!
[Villager's shock reward all*500]
[Achievement: A person without conscience]
[Heartless person: The host has no conscience!!!]
You're such a heartless person, aren't you? And what does this have to do with me?
The villagers were shocked by Xu Xiaoyi's words. They hadn't expected the magistrate to be so cold-blooded and heartless. They cried in despair. Everything was hopeless. For them, death was just a matter of time. They had hoped the new magistrate would do something, at least to keep their children from starving! But now, it was completely over. The magistrate had completely abandoned them.
Xu Xiaoyi looked at a group of people crying bitterly, and didn't know what to do for a moment. He thought, if it wasn't for survival, who would be willing to give up their dignity? Forget it, forget it!
Anyway, I have so much food! It would take me forever to eat it all. I might as well use it to shock them, earn some points, and even gain some merit.
