Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Chapter 59: Soldiers Surround the County Government Office

When Luo Tinghe hurriedly ran to the county government office from the house behind, he saw that the entire county government office was brightly lit. It had been surrounded by teams of Qing troops outside, and nearby yamen runners also rushed over one after another. In the past ten years, there has never been an incident of someone beating a drum in the middle of the night in Tong County. It was really strange!

Luo Tinghe shouted angrily, "What's going on? What's going on? Who is beating the drum?"

Liu Ye on the side snorted coldly and shouted, "Are you the magistrate of Tong County?"

Luo Tinghe looked up and saw Liu Ye standing there with a murderous look on his face. He didn't recognize him, but the yellow jacket on Liu Ye was very conspicuous under the light of the torch!

Yellow jackets, not many people in the entire Qing Dynasty had this thing. Only generals who had made military achievements or important officials in the court could be awarded one! The guy in front of me didn't look that old, but he was wearing a yellow jacket!

Luo Tinghe barely suppressed the shock in his heart. After all, he was a county magistrate, and his family background was extraordinary. He was not comparable to an ordinary county magistrate.

Luo Tinghe bowed and asked, "General, may I ask which government office you are from? What brings you to the Tong County government office?"

Liu Ye snorted coldly and replied, "I want someone! My brothers have been wronged and imprisoned in Tong County Jail. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I will tear down this Tong County government office!"

Luo Tinghe frowned and shouted, "How dare you! I am the governor of Tong County under the imperial order. It is natural for me to arrest criminals. You are not a censor, nor an imperial inspector. Why should I be explained to you?"

Liu Ye said bitterly, "Very good. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. Gao Qi, bring your men to smash your government office and take over the Tong County Jail!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Tinghe immediately became anxious. If they smashed the county government office and took over the prison, wouldn't Tong County be in chaos?

Luo Tinghe shouted angrily, "The county government office is the seat of the county government and a symbol of imperial power. If you dare to privately demolish the county government office, you will be charged with capital punishment, including confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family!"

"boom!"

Liu Ye was not polite to these people. He kicked Luo Tinghe far away with a kick in the heart!

what……

Luo Tinghe was a scholar who had lived a life of luxury for many years. How could he withstand Liu Ye's punches and kicks? After his body flew out, he could no longer get up. The yamen runners on both sides ran over and helped Luo Tinghe up. Damn, this kick was too hard. Luo Tinghe spat out a mouthful of blood and coughed repeatedly!

"Assholes! Are you all blind? Capture them all and throw them into jail!"

Luo Tinghe shouted angrily.

Upon hearing this, the yamen runners on both sides rushed forward waving their water and fire sticks, trying to deal with Liu Ye!

How could the brothers of the Firearms Battalion behind Liu Ye be willing to do this? If you want to touch our military leader, you have to ask us brothers if we are willing!

Gao Qi winked at the brothers on both sides, and the brothers rushed forward and attacked the yamen runners with weapons!

Faced with the brothers from the Firearms Battalion charging at them, the yamen runners immediately became confused. They could chase a chicken or kill a dog, but they were no match for the Firearms Battalion, which had gradually shown its strength. In an instant, the county yamen was in chaos!

After an incense stick of time, all the yamen runners lay on the ground. Liu Ye stepped on Luo Tinghe with his big foot and said coldly, "Where are the people?"

Luo Tinghe could no longer pretend. If he continued to hold on, who knew if the black-faced devil in front of him would kill him with a knife?

Luo Tinghe quickly replied, "He's in the prison. Someone bring that Zhu Hai up here immediately! No, no, please come up!"

Several yamen runners struggled to get up and carried Zhu Hai's family out of the prison. Zhu Hai was covered in blood and was carried up by others. As for Zhu's father and mother, although they did not suffer any pain, they were frightened and extremely sad and angry on the plane. It was obvious that they could not hold on any longer. Especially Zhu's mother, who was already bedridden, was dying after this ordeal.

Liu Ye looked at the injuries on Zhu Hai's body. He was covered in blood, his arm was broken, his ribs were dislocated, and there was a big bloody wound on his forehead. He was afraid that it would take more than a month or two for him to recover. Liu Ye felt like he was being stabbed by needles!

Think about it, since I came to this world, I have a close relationship with Zhu Hai. Xiao Hai treats me as his own brother. Now that I have suffered such a great crime, I would not be a man if I don’t take revenge!

"Gao Qi!"

Liu Ye shouted.

"grown ups!"

Gao Qi quickly stepped forward and answered.

"Lead the people, capture all those who have dealt with Xiao Hai and beat them to death! If anything happens to Xiao Hai, I will bury them all with him!"

Liu Ye was so furious at this time that he had almost lost his mind!

Gao Qi led his men to begin the interrogation. Under the intimidation of the Qing army, the yamen runners did not need to be beaten at all. All the yamen runners who were chasing and attacking were pushed out. Together with the jailer, there were more than 40 people in total!

"Hang them all on the tree and beat them hard!"

Liu Ye said coldly.

Luo Tinghe wanted to die at this time. He was so unlucky. Damn He Baogui, you have brought down a hellish king on me! But it cost him his life.

Luo Tinghe trembled and said, "Who are you? Assaulting an imperial official and demolishing the county government office is a capital crime. Even if you have powerful people protecting you, you will never escape the law!"

Liu Ye patted Luo Tinghe's cheek and said coldly, "Boy, I'll let you die knowingly. I'm the Emperor's appointed Infantry Commander of the Firearms Battalion, General of Baoding Town, and Chief of the General Affairs Office, Liu Ye! If you're capable, go to the court and file a complaint, and see if I can kill you!"

Luo Tinghe's eyes rolled back, nearly fainting. Damn it! I'd actually messed with Liu Ye, the Emperor's most popular figure! What the hell had I done?! Who didn't know he was being patronized by two powerful princes, Prince Gong and Prince Seng? Had he just fought off a formidable foe during negotiations with four nations, achieving unparalleled feats? Not only me, but even my own father wouldn't dare mess with such a person!

Luo Tinghe whispered, "Master Liu, this is a matter of my own ignorance. I listened to slander. Please let me go. We will always have a chance to repay our debts..."

Liu Ye sneered, "Reporting? Too late! See? This guy lying there is a man who made great military achievements since Dagukou. He's my trusted brother, the captain of the Firearms Battalion's personal guards, and a seventh-rank military officer. And you didn't even interrogate him. You just beat him up, severely injured him, and threw him into prison, destroying his family! If I don't avenge him, who will be willing to follow me on my campaigns in the future?"
