Chapter 306: The Final Pass

Wu Shilai can go from the Qipin Mansion to the imperial history of the Zuodu, of course, he is not an ordinary person. After he made up his mind, he immediately put aside his distracting thoughts and said to Fan Hongdao: "Everything is your words, how can this court believe it rashly?

Each imperial history is directly responsible to the imperial court, and the court does not directly intervene. Guo Shengming has his own reasons for how to act, and this official should only observe the results and then supervise and evaluate him! As for Qian Yiyi, if after investigation, if his words and deeds are indeed inappropriate, this official will admonish him!"

The meaning of this is very clear, between the people and private interests, Wu Zongxian chose private interests, between justice and the portal, Wu Zongxian chose the portal. Therefore, he has to protect the two imperial historians to the end, and he can't let these two people be lost in the hands of Fan Hongdao, because these two people have a greater "role".

Fan Hongdao pointed to the people who followed: "Boss Zhongcheng, open your eyes and see, there are more than 100 people gathered here in Dengwengu, do you still think it's my words?"

Wu Shilai retorted: "If there are rumors to confuse the public, you can also gather to make trouble, do you think this can be relied on?"

Fan Hongdao's face showed deep disappointment: "I heard that the boss had the reputation of a prodigy when he was a young man, and he also made many achievements as an official, but now he is the imperial history of the capital, but his conduct is not as good as it was at the beginning?

Fan Hongdao asked and answered himself, and continued: "When the people encounter injustice, there are still officials close to the people who make decisions for the people; if the officials close to the people do nothing, there is still the imperial history to uphold justice; if the imperial history neglects his duties, there will also be the Metropolitan Procuratorate to evaluate and eliminate them; but if the Metropolitan Procuratorate ignores them again, what should the people do? Who can stand up for the people?

Therefore, the importance of your imperial history of the left capital lies in the fact that you are the last pass of the imperial court, and if you can't resolve the grievances of the people, you will let these grievances hit the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!

Hearing Fan Hongdao say these words, many people couldn't help but look at Dengwen Drum not far away. In the judicial system, the imperial history of Zuodu is indeed the last pass of the imperial court, and then there is the imperial palace.

Theoretically, if you go through layers of justice, but the grievance still cannot be resolved, you can also go to the drums to alarm Ouchi. However, the officials understood that the function of this drumming drum was equivalent to a fig leaf, giving the people a hope when they had no way out. If there is hope, perhaps there will be no thought of rebellion.

Although Fan Hongdao was impassioned, Wu Zongxian was not moved by Fan Hongdao's speech, and only stared at Fan Hongdao tightly.

Maybe you will be criticized for being unfair afterwards, but who can be perfect in life? As long as there is enough gain, a little criticism is nothing.

As for the popular hearts of the people in Nancheng, Wu Zongxian does not need it. The reason is very simple, when the official position rises to a certain level, the way of playing is different, and it is useless to do those low-level good deeds, and it is impossible to let a left-owned imperial history go to the next level.

Fan Hongdao looked at Wu Shilai for a moment, then resolutely turned around and walked towards Dengwengu. Wu Shilai looked at Fan Hongdao's back, he told himself in his heart that he must be calm, Fan Hongdao would not be able to sacrifice himself, he just deliberately walked towards Dengwengu to exert pressure!

Again, if Fan Hongdao really had such courage, he would have gone to beat the drum a long time ago, and he would not have been here for a long time!

Suddenly everyone was frightened by what happened just now, but it won't be like this anymore! With this thought, Wu Shilai was very calm, and just watched Fan Hongdao walk under the Dengwen drum again, talk to the guard officer on duty again, and watch Fan Hongdao take off the drumsticks hanging on both sides, and then he was about to raise them. When the drumstick is picked up, it will be difficult to put it down.

How could he really dare to knock on it? Wu Shilai suddenly became a little less determined, he took a few steps forward and said to Fan Hongdao: "The imperial court has its own rules, and it is not allowed to go beyond the level to file a complaint! The matter of Nancheng must not directly alarm the Great Interior!"

Fan Hongdao sneered: "Dazhongcheng, you are really old and confused, Nanchengzhi reported to the Nancheng Procuratorate in advance, Guo Yushi's corpse was vegetarian, and Guo Yushi was told to Your Excellency, and then you didn't care." So I want to beat the drum, why do you say that you have crossed the ranks? ”

Wu Shilai took a few more steps, "You also have to think well, the imperial court is not allowed to beat the drum because of civil disputes! Violators will be punished severely!"

Fan Hongdao laughed and said: "When I led everyone to the Nancheng Procuratorate to file a complaint, it was for a civil case. But now the drums are being beaten not because of these civil disputes, but because the government has breached the law! Can't we beat the drum for such grievances?"

Wu Shilai couldn't help but be a little flustered, could it be that he had made a mistake? He said fiercely: "As an official of history, you should also be bound by the rules of the imperial court. But he instigated the people to gather all sentient beings first, and the more the kitchen beat the drum without authorization, and the punishment of the crime was increased by three degrees!"

Wu Shilai's remarks are interpreted to mean that you, Fan Hongdao, are also a person who refers to the treatment of officials, and when encountering an incident, he does not go through the organizational procedures, but instigates the people to gather to petition, and personally takes the lead in beating drums; this is definitely the most hated violation of the law, and he will be severely punished! More importantly, Fan Hongdao will become an alternative with no future under the attack of the Qingliu forces.

If the people beat the drum incorrectly, they are likely to be punished with dozens to 100 rods, and in serious cases, they will be exiled, and if the officials beat the drum indiscriminately, it is likely to be at least an exile.

Fan Hongdao seemed to be touched and paused the drumming action. Wu Zongxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the surname Fan knew that he was afraid, he didn't believe it, there are really people in the world who know that they will be damaged, and at the same time the results are unclear, and they can move forward.

Fan Hongdao suddenly ripped off the gauze hat on his head, slammed it directly to the ground, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, he quickly took off the eight-grade regular clothes on his body and threw them under the Dengwen drum rack. What this means, everyone can understand.

Fan Hongdao mocked: "I don't do it when I resign from the office! Now that I am a scholar, will I still be guilty of the treatment of the third degree?"

The people of Nancheng who followed were confused, and shouted in a disorderly manner, and in their eyes, Fan Hongdao at this moment was shining with unprecedented brilliance. And Wu Shilai stared at Fan Hongdao deadly, he was already exhausted, and he couldn't think of how to deter Fan Hongdao!

But Fan Hongdao no longer looked at Wu Shilai, and took the drumstick and struck it the drum surface!

Dengwen drums sounded, accompanied by Fan Hongdao's clear voice: "Supervisor Fan Hongdao, on behalf of the people of Nancheng, sue the imperial history Guo Shengming, the imperial history Qian Yiyi, and the left capital imperial history Wu Shilai to ignore the people's livelihood, derelict their duties, and bend the law!"

There were many officials in the audience, and Fan Hongdao made such a big deal about the trivial matter, and in the end it was difficult to ride a tiger and beat the drum. Wu Shilai couldn't help but shout undignifiedly: "You're finished!
