Chapter 4 Interview with the Volunteers
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, Tianjun who was shouting on the street to change the law is eighteen years old, Tianjun has been living in Tianxin Orphanage for the past eighteen years, he doesn't know who his parents are, and no one has told him, he has been in this orphanage since he was sensible, if Jun is an adult today, according to the law of Basparta, Tianjun is no longer suitable to stay in the orphanage, he must start his own life. In order to make a living, he had to find a decent job, and he had heard from his elders since he was a child that he could get in touch with the law when he became a righteous envoy, so Tianjun's wish since childhood was that his first job when he grew up was to be a righteous envoy.
Tianjun came to the gate of justice, the gate of justice in Gu'an City is one of the physical specimens and historical witnesses of the municipal political power and political department of feudal society in the era of Emperor Salun, Tianjun walked into the gate, and saw that the main buildings such as the lobby, the second hall, the third hall and the east and west flower halls were restored and displayed on both sides of the main axis of the gate.
Rich cultural connotations can be seen everywhere, and a pair of couplets on the walls can be displayed. Such as the lobby couplet: deceive others, such as deceiving the sky, do not deceive yourself, and bear the people, that is, the country and yourself.
The plaques of "Heavenly Principles, National Law, and Human Feelings" on the second screen door are very exciting. Among them, the most loved and praised by the world is written by the Four Kings - Minke: "It is not honorable to gain an official, and it is not disgraceful to lose an official, not to say that an official is useless, the place depends on an official; eat the people's food and wear the people's clothes, the people can be bullied, and they are also the people."
The couplet reveals the dialectical relationship between the official and the people, honor and disgrace, gain and loss, in simple language. Tianjun walked further and saw the two sides of the corridor in front of the lobby, the east is the officials, households, and ritual rooms, and the west is the soldiers, punishments, and workshops, which are the righteous envoy offices of the Justice Gate.
The east side of the lobby is the interrogation room, and the west side is the data room. Passing through the screen door, it is the second hall, which is the place where hundreds or thousands of households mediate to deal with general cases. After the second hall is the third hall, there is a cross courtyard on the left and right of the third hall, called the East and West Flower Hall.
The green dragon in the east, the white tiger in the west. The construction of the Justice Gate is generally to sit in the north and face south, facing the south side of the cross street opening, so when you enter the gate, you can see the left green dragon and the right white tiger, and the west white tiger gate. The White Tiger is the main killer, so the killing takes the White Tiger, the direction is in the west, and the green dragon is in the east.
One of the righteous envoys had noticed the Heavenly Monarch and stepped forward and asked, "What is the matter with you?"
Tianjun looked at the young man in front of him who was about the same as himself, and his heart was not so nervous, Tianjun grew up in an orphanage, and his personality was subtly cultivated like this, if it was an older righteous envoy who came over, Tianjun might avoid it because of his personality, but now he is a young man, Tianjun is somewhat relaxed.
Tianjun also looked the young man in front of him up and down, he had heard some people say that if you want to become a righteous envoy, you must naturally have enough conditions, and the young man in front of him is almost the same age as himself, and it seems that the family is not an ordinary person.
"How?"
After hearing the words of the righteous envoy, the Heavenly Monarch came back to his senses and said, "I want to join your Justice Gate. ”
The young envoy looked the Heavenly Monarch up and down, then nodded and said, "Yes, but we have to ask some questions and do some investigations, please come with me." ”
The young man led the way, Tianjun followed behind, although he was a little nervous but still couldn't help his curiosity, looked around, passed by a room, and saw that there were a lot of people inside, but he couldn't hear what was being said inside, Tianjun stood at the door and watched.
The young envoy found that Tianjun did not follow, looked back, and found that he was attracted, walked over and looked at it and said: "There is nothing to see, an ordinary matter, they will handle it, and the front is where we are going." ”
The two got up to leave, and then the young envoy said, "You said this person is really interesting!"
The Heavenly Monarch was puzzled for a moment as to why the young envoy would ask this sentence like this, and said, "What's so interesting? What happened to you?"
The young man said while leading the way: "The case you just saw is like this, there is a woman in the countryside here who has raised a child for 20 years, and now the child is 40 years old, but she does not support her mother, the reason is that her mother has raised him for 20 years, and he has only supported her mother for 20 years.
Tianjun was young and grew up in an orphanage, he really couldn't imagine that there were such people in the world, he believed that none of the children who grew up with him in the orphanage didn't want to have parents, and then accompany their parents every day, sure enough, this person is like this, some don't care, don't think desperately, Tianjun then asked, "What are you going to do?"
The young envoy shook his head and said: "How else can you deal with it, of course it is persuasion, this kind of thing is the most annoying, no matter how you deal with it, the inaction of the person concerned is also in vain, you can't keep guarding him, and there is no clear boundary for this kind of thing, it is particularly difficult to obtain evidence, who can prove that he is not good to his mother?"
"It's here. When he came to an office room, the young envoy pushed open the door and said to the people inside, "There is a person here, he wants to join the envoy, you can handle it." As he spoke, the young Yimen waved his hand at the Heavenly Monarch, and then turned to leave.
Tianjun walked in, and there were three people in the room, and they looked like they were all busy with things in their hands.
A righteous envoy beckoned Tianjun to sit down, looked Tianjun up and down, Tianjun at this time obviously did not look right from just now, first, now he is a pair of three, people are somewhat unnatural in an unfamiliar environment, and second, these righteous envoys seem to be older than Tianjun, which makes Tianjun naturally have an illusion of being bullied.
One of the righteous envoys seemed to see the expression of the Heavenly Monarch and said softly, "Don't be nervous. ”
Tianjun nodded, rubbing his pants uncomfortably. Then he looked at the righteous envoy in front of him and said: "A single filament does not form a thread, and a single tree does not make a forest." If I become a righteous envoy, I will definitely cooperate well with my colleagues to make a good cause! Build the party for the public, govern for the people, use power for the people, care for the people, and seek benefits for the people. ”
After hearing this, the righteous envoy waved his hand and said: "Come on, don't talk about this yet, you young people are like this, and I don't know where you learned these words, let me ask you a few questions first, okay?" ”
Tianjun swallowed his saliva and nodded without making a sound.
"Your name, who are your parents, where did you grow up, what did your parents do?"
Tianjun first blindfolded for a moment, and then said: "My name is Tianjun, and I am an orphan, and I grew up in the Tianxin Orphanage. ”
After hearing Tianjun's words, several righteous envoys looked at each other and nodded, Tianjun saw it in his eyes, thinking to himself how could this situation not be good?
"I'm sorry, we don't accept orphans here, because of the special status of the righteous envoy, afraid of the invasion of enemy spies, so people who can't provide this information can't join the Justice Gate!"
"Why?"
"There's nothing for why, it's the rule, it's always been that way. ”
"Then what do I need to do to get you to be accepted?"
"Unless meritorious service is made, the merit will be determined by the above. ”
"I see. ”
Tianjun didn't expect that this righteous envoy would have this strange rule, his identity Tianxin Orphanage can prove it, if you have to have parents, then becoming a righteous envoy is not just as simple as he thinks, I didn't expect the first time it was such a wall, he is an orphan, this identity cannot be changed, it seems that if you want to enter this government agency, you must make meritorious contributions.
Tianjun came to the place where he stayed just now, the people inside were still arguing, Tianjun thought about what happened just now, pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as Tianjun pushed the door open, he was immediately discovered by a righteous envoy, who asked, "Who are you?
Tianjun stretched out his arms, signaled that he didn't bring any weapons or other things, and then said: "I just came to join the volunteer envoy, I just heard about the matter here, if you can trust me, I have a way to solve this matter properly." ”
A righteous envoy sitting in one place immediately burst into flames after hearing the words of the Heavenly Monarch and said: "Oh, it turns out to be a new colleague, you can do it, if you can have a perfect way, I will introduce you to a beautiful woman next time we work together!"
Tianjun waved his hand and said, "There is no need for beauties, I have a perfect method here!"
Tianjun walked up to the mother and asked, "You are his mother, and you have raised him for twenty years, right?"
The mother nodded, and Tianjun asked the man again, "You are his son, and you have raised her for twenty years, right?"
The son nodded as well.
Tianjun spread his hands and said: "Then this matter is too easy to do, you raised him for twenty years, and he gave you twenty years, that's right, all of them are offset, but you are the meat that fell from his body, and he sacrificed his flesh to achieve you, how can you pay this back?"
After listening to the words of the Heavenly Monarch, the righteous envoy slapped his thigh and jumped up and shouted: "Good fellow, you are really a talent! I know how to deal with it! I am really happy to have a colleague like you!"
This is an extremely common story, in this small village there is a kind girl who gave birth to a baby boy shortly after marriage, and the family lives in harmony. But the good times didn't last long, her husband died in the field due to illness, and her father-in-law died one after another due to excessive grief. Forty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and it is not easy to pull the child into a talent, but one day her son said to her: "Mother, this is the last time I call you, I think I am over forty, you raised me for 20 years, and after I became an adult, I raised you for 20 years, just right, we no longer owe each other, you say, am I driving you away, or are you rolling up and leaving?"
At this time, the young and beautiful girl has already become an old woman in her twilight years, her physical strength is not as good as before, she no longer debates with the rebel, and goes out with the front foot, and the back foot goes to the door of justice. The righteous envoy heard the cause and effect of the matter, and was not angry, but he couldn't think of any perfect solution, such as today's proposal is simply perfect, which not only solves the reluctance of the rebel son to support his mother, but also solves the recurrence of such incidents in the future. The righteous envoy sneered and said, "According to the midwife, you were born with six catties and eight taels, right? In this case, your mother gave up her own flesh to you, and now you cut off the six catties and eight taels and return them to your mother, so that you will not owe each other at all!" He said to his mother, "Please, do not cut the flesh of the child, who will serve his mother all his life until she dies." ”
Seeing that the matter was perfectly resolved, the righteous envoy nodded and looked at Tianjun and asked, "Little guy, who is the boss of your department?"
"I haven't joined yet, they don't agree!"
The envoy nodded thoughtfully and said, "They actually gave up such a good talent?" ”
Seeing that the matter was settled, Tianjun walked out of the door and prepared to go shopping on the street.
