Chapter 18 The one who made trouble is stupid

Seeing that shouting slogans had little momentum, the leader of the riot decided to change the fight from a civil fight to a physical fight. It would be best to kill Lin Feng directly in the chaos.

So they led the crowd of "petitioners" and slowly gathered around, preparing to use their own tactics to beat Lin Feng.

At this time, Fang Tiezhu rushed over and blocked the front, holding an iron rod to separate the rioting crowd.

The leading troublemaking subordinates picked up chairs, brooms and other utensils and forced them towards Fang Tiezhu, preparing to take advantage of the large number of people to start a group fight.

"Stop, you gathered a crowd to make trouble, armed with weapons, intending to beat Shangguan. Do you want to rebel?" Lin Feng shouted.

Perhaps it was because Lin Feng still had the power to clean up and rectify the team of county government officials a few days ago. This group of people were stunned when they heard the sound, and most of them stopped.

"Brothers, don't be afraid. The law does not punish everyone. If he doesn't let us live, we can't let him go?" The leading subordinate became anxious and quickly continued to incite.

"Why aren't you allowed to live?" Lin Feng said.

"If you don't pay the salary, you will starve us to death. Either pay the salary immediately, or go away and let Ding Dianshi come back." The leader was sure that the household had no money and could not pay the salary, and was very arrogant.

When everyone heard that they were asking for salary, they gathered around again. Ordinary officials in the county government are indeed spending money month after month. If they cannot pay their salaries, their families will soon be in trouble.

"Salaries will naturally be paid, but they will not be given to those who cause trouble. You guys, let me think clearly." Lin Feng continued.

Seeing that everyone was moved, the leading subordinate became anxious and said loudly: "He is lying. Secretary Shao of the household said that there is no money, and the summer tax cannot be paid, so there is no way to pay." Good guy, no It was self-inflicted, and a traitor was recruited first.

Su Shunnian, the household secretary, immediately looked at the clerk surnamed Shao with angry eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "You did a lot of bad things with Zhao Guangqing in the past, and you were going to be fired. Because of your pleading. "Come on, when the house is worth employing again, I begged Mr. Lin to spare you, but you are so ungrateful and cheating!"

"It's not me, it's not me!" the scribe surnamed Shao quickly denied.

"Secretary Shao, don't be afraid. We won't give up if we can't pay out the salary today, don't you think so?" the leading subordinate incited him again.

"Yes!" Several followers said in unison. The others were about to respond, but hesitated when they saw Lin Feng's stern eyes.

"I'll give you one last chance. If you retreat now, I won't hold you accountable and will immediately pay you this monthly salary. Those who stay in place are deliberately causing trouble. I will report it to the county magistrate and fire them immediately. They will never be hired again!" Lin Feng said firmly! .

When everyone heard this, most of them started to retreat. After all, it’s not easy to find a solid job these days, so who wants to lose it? Li Zicheng also had no choice but to embark on the path of rebellion after losing his glorious iron job as a postman.

"They have no money, don't believe him! Don't retreat, don't retreat!" The remaining three or four people shouted anxiously.

"Su Shunnian, go to the cabinet in my room to get the money, and distribute this month's salary on the spot. Fang Tiezhu, take the Zhuangban Yamen to control the few people in front of me, and we will take them down for interrogation when we get back." Lin Feng ordered continuously.

"Yes!" Su Shunnian and Fang Tiezhu said respectively.

It turns out that Su Shunian came to report yesterday and heard that some subordinate officials were working together to ask for wages. Among them, Feng Jingui, the prison chief, seemed to be involved.

Lin Feng realized that it must be the unwilling Ding Dianshi who was causing trouble again, but this was also a good opportunity to continue cleaning up the unreliable people within the county government.

So Lin Feng asked Su Shunnian to continue to spread the rumors about the household's lack of money and salary. This was actually a fact and did not spread deliberately.

Then he took out 500 taels of silver from the space and put it in the cabinet of the county magistrate's office, ready to deal with the collective wage demand incident.

As soon as they heard that they were going to get the money, the crowd immediately stopped. No matter how much the leader incited them, they could no longer do it. After all, most people are here to ask for wages. The dawn is right in front of us now, and it is impossible to wait for a while. The county magistrate's office was right next to it. Within a few minutes, Su Shunnian came back with a box. When he opened it, he found neat rows of silver ingots, at least five hundred taels.

The crowd immediately burst into cheers when they saw Yinzi. No matter how many explanations were put in front of them, they would not be convincing.

The leaders who were still standing awkwardly in front suddenly became sweaty. They quickly wanted to hide behind the people, but were stopped by Fang Tiezhu and others.

"Guys, please don't leave in a hurry. Let's get to know these heroes who are worried about everyone's concerns and sacrifice themselves to get salaries for officials." Lin Feng said sarcastically.

"Sir, sir, we just want to get our salary and are in a hurry, so just treat us like we're nothing." The leader begged for mercy with a flattering look on his face.

"That's not how you looked when you scolded Fang Qiu and pointed out the country just now. Please continue to maintain your unruly attitude. It's still more pleasing to the eye." Lin Feng teased.

"He is Zhou Dawang, the scribe of the torture chamber." shouted from below.

"It's not me, it's not me." The leading subordinate wanted to cover his face while wishing he could disappear on the spot.

"The other ones are Chen Zhiliang from the soap squad, Jiang Yin from the torture room, and the other one is Yang Laoer from the arrest squad who has been fired."

The county government office is a big place, and the number of officials is not large. Everyone basically knows each other, and the details of these people were quickly discovered.

"Hey, the dismissed government officials also came to ask for their salary. Even though they couldn't get their salary, they still went forward bravely. It's really selfless and dedicated to others. What kind of spirit is this? Isn't it worth learning? "

"Haha..." There was a burst of laughter from below.

"Can't I just join in the fun?" Yang Laoer dared to talk back.

"You, a retired official, went to the county government to cause trouble, and you dared to join in the fun. You are very courageous. Put him in jail and let him join in the fun inside." Lin Feng ordered.

"As for the other officials, they will be interrogated and cleared first. I will report them to the county magistrate and fire them immediately." Lin Feng glanced at the troublemaking subordinate officials and continued.

"My lord, my lord, we are all led by Zhou Dawang. He gave each of us three taels of silver and made us make a fuss. Please spare us." One of the scribes quickly knelt down and said.

"Sir, you must not expel me. I was forced to come here by my superior. Once I am expelled, our family will be completely destroyed." Another scribe cried loudly and begged.

"So this request for salary is not an ordinary request for salary, but is instigated by people with ulterior motives. Everyone should keep their eyes open and not be taken advantage of.

I also know that everyone’s life is still relatively difficult, so although the summer tax has not yet been confiscated, I have already borrowed several hundred taels of silver in advance to pay everyone’s salary. Let’s develop it next! "Lin Feng didn't say much. It is most effective to send money at this time.

Sure enough, as soon as the money was distributed, all the subordinate officials in the county government burst into cheers, and Lin Feng's prestige reached its peak.

Su Shunian from Hufang was well prepared. He took out the county government's salary distribution form and divided them into two groups to start distributing money. One group will be given out to officials in each room, and one group will be given out to the three shifts of government officials. Those who are absent will be led by each room and each squad, and the distribution will soon be completed.
