The county magistrate was arrested
In a small ancient county town far away, there was a county magistrate named Li Mo. He looks white and clean, with a kind face, and looks like a kind old master, but in fact he is a guy who loves to take advantage of others.
On this day, the master of the county government came in a hurry, and reported with a pale face: "My lord, something is wrong! Someone from above has come to say that there is your case and wants to arrest you and go to the capital for questioning!"
When Li Mo heard this, he was immediately frightened, and he hurriedly asked: "How is this good? Although I am a little greedy on weekdays, I will not alarm the officials in the capital!"
The master sighed and said, "My lord, have you forgotten that last year you secretly exchanged the county's tribute silk for a defective product, and also embezzled a part of the silver taels without permission? ”
When Li Mo heard this, he immediately beat his chest and regretted it. He hurriedly asked the master, "Then what should we do now?"
The master thought for a while and said, "My lord, there is only one way now, and that is to run away quickly and come back when the limelight has passed." ”
When Li Mo heard this, he felt that this method was good, so he hurriedly packed up his soft and prepared to escape. But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Li Mo trembled with fright, and hurriedly asked, "Who?
The person outside the door replied: "My lord, it is the person from above, who said that he wanted to arrest you and go to the capital for questioning." ”
When Li Mo heard this, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand. He said to the master in a trembling voice, "Master, what can I do about this? They came to the door!"
The master was also in a hurry, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "My lord, don't worry, I have a solution." As he spoke, he quietly took out a small bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Li Mo and said, "This is the ecstasy I bought from Jianghu Langzhong, just a little bit can make people fall asleep." You quickly pour it into the tea and give it to those who come to get you. ”
When Li Mo heard this, he felt that this method was feasible, so he hurriedly took the small bottle and poured it into the tea. Then he opened the door, pretended to be indifferent, and said, "It turned out to be an adult from above, and I was not welcome, please come in quickly." ”
As soon as those who came to arrest Li Mo entered the door, Li Mo warmly invited them to tea. The men didn't think much of it, so they took the teacup and drank it down. After a while, they felt dizzy and fell to the ground unconscious.
Li Mo was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly said to his master: "Master, it is really a good medicine! Now we can take the opportunity to escape." ”
The master also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord is wise, let's go quickly." ”
So the two hurriedly packed up their things and escaped from the county seat at night. They traveled all the way and finally came to a remote mountain village. Li Mo felt that it should be safe here, so he decided to settle here temporarily.
However, not long after they moved in, a child came to them and said, "County magistrate, it's no good! A group of officers and soldiers came outside, saying that they wanted to arrest you and go back for questioning." ”
When Li Mo heard this, his face turned pale with fright. He hurriedly asked the child: "How do the officers and soldiers know that I am here?"
The child said, "I heard from them that someone reported that you were hiding here." ”
When Li Mo heard this, he immediately understood. It turned out that he was too panicked when he ran away, and accidentally dropped an official seal on the road, and was picked up and reported to him. He immediately regretted it, hating himself for being too careless at the beginning.
At this time, the master also hurriedly ran over and asked, "My lord, what should I do now?"
Li Mo sighed and said, "What else can I do? ”
So the two had to obediently follow the officers and soldiers back to the capital. After some interrogation, Li Mo's crimes were confirmed one by one. He was sentenced to a heavy sentence, and the master was also implicated in the abuse of aiding and abetting.
After this story spread, people ridiculed Li Mo as an insatiable and self-righteous fool. And that ecstasy has also become a joke after dinner.
It's been a story for a long time, and people can't help but laugh out loud every time they mention it. After all, who would have thought that a dignified county magistrate would end up like this because of an official seal? This can be regarded as a wake-up call for those who are greedy for small profits and are reckless of the consequences.
So, readers, friends, what do you understand from this joke? Do you think that it is better to be a down-to-earth person and not to be greedy for small profits? Full of laughter, ancient humor, like and pay attention not to get lost!
