Chapter Twenty-Nine: Drumming and Grievances
Three days later, the weather was clear and sunny. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Shen Zhushu and Liu Bantou, who had rested for two days, came to work, Yang Wenqing instructed them to take someone to accompany Master Zhou to dry the ground, and sent them away, Yang Wenqing walked slowly towards the office of the errand, and Yang Wenqing couldn't help but stop when he passed the lotus pond.
The sky is clear and cloudless, and the lotus pond is full of spring.
At a glance, the lotus leaves are green and faint, the lotus flowers with buds on them look extremely delicate, the lotus leaves that bloom brightly are also as brilliant as a smiling face, stunning and moving, swaying their heads with the breeze, the droplets of water drop by drop on the lake surface stirred up ripples, I don't know if the air is too good, the mandarin duck family is also traveling, looking up and standing up looks very much like a person, it is very funny.
Qingliu stood aside, shaking his head speechlessly, his son-in-law is like this, he has to look at it for a while when he passes by, and he has to look at it for a while when he works in the study, he can't figure it out, what's so good about it, he couldn't help but say, "Childe, this mandarin duck is too snack, it's tasteless, and it's stuffed with teeth, although the lotus is beautiful, but it can't be eaten!" Even the lotus pod and lotus root, it's not time now... “
Yang Wenqing knocked his head and snapped his fingers, is she such a greedy person?
"Ouch!" Qingliu hugged his head and shouted, "Childe, why did you beat me?!" “
"It's time to fight!" Yang Wenqing smiled helplessly, "The mandarin duck family is happy and happy, just come out for a walk, can't you provoke you?" You still say that you want to eat people, but you dare to dislike it and say that you plug your teeth?! Do you think you should fight? “
Qingliu hugged his head and smiled, seeing that his son-in-law still wanted to knock his head, he suddenly jumped out and shouted, "Childe, you can't hit my head anymore, it's going to be broken, although I'm not distressed, but Childe, you should be distressed~~"
"I feel sorry for what you're doing~~~" Yang Wenqing said with a smile, and his eyes moved to the group of mandarin ducks again.
"You... It's just that the words of distress didn't come out, Qingliu paused, Yang Wenqing also turned his head to look at him, and the two of them listened to a deafening sound coming from front of them with long ears.
"Knock knock... Knock knock... “
"Knock knock... Knock knock... “
The voice was jumbled, but surprisingly loud.
"Gong, Gongzi, in front, did the sound of drumming sound in front?" Qingliu asked with a stammer.
Yang Wenqing came back to his senses, glanced at the white robe on his body, nodded lightly and ordered, "In that case, you go ahead and take a look, and I'll come back to change my clothes." As soon as she finished speaking, Steward Shen hurriedly ran over, "My lord, my lord, the sound of drumming sounded in front." “
"yes, got it." Yang Wenqing nodded, and she asked, "Do you know what happened?" Who beats the drums? ”
"This," Shen Guan wanted to speak and stopped, as soon as he heard the sound of the drums, he ran over to find it, where can he take care of it, after all, this is the first time that an adult has come to Nanyang to handle the case, such a major matter, where can he take care of it, now Yang Wenqing asked him, he really couldn't speak.
"Forget it, you go down." Yang Wenqing saw that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't bear to blame, so he said to Qingliu, "Go quickly." Then he hurried back to change his clothes with a steady and brisk step.
Yang Wenqing changed into her official uniform, went out of the door, and saw that Steward Shen was anxiously waiting there, she only nodded lightly, and then came to the lobby without squinting, and met Qingliu waiting for her at the side door, so she asked, "Do you know what you are suing?" ”
"Childe, the detailed subordinates haven't heard about it yet, but they know that it was a woman who sued the official, and the lawsuit was still her relatives, the younger brother of his father's mother, and her uncle." Qingliudao, with a ghostly face.
"Well, it's good to know that." Yang Wenqing nodded and said, "By the way, you are fast, you go for a trip, and call the master and Master Shen, and Liu Bantou back, as for measuring the land, let's do it another day." After speaking, Yang Wenqing turned a corner and walked into the side door.
Yang Wenqing walked through the side door with an expressionless face, paused, and turned into the court.
With the fact that I don't know who shouted loudly to the public court, "The county commander is here!! “
Yang Wenqing's footsteps followed the voice and glanced at it, only to see that it was the first official on the left, and then she walked unhurriedly to the chair behind the public desk hanging under the hanging plaque of the mirror and sat down, she glanced at the public hall lightly, and there were several majestic "avoidance and quiet" signs on both sides of the wall, and the left and right sides were full of officials wearing red edges and black clothes and holding on to the sticks, and the distance outside the gate fence was already crowded with people, although it was so, it was extremely quiet.
Yang Wenqing saw that she didn't see the woman who sued the official in the lobby, and after thinking for a while, she remembered how those county orders on TV were promoted, and then she picked up the "shocking wood" on the public case and slapped it hard, and said, "Take the plaintiff!" "The voice is crisp, but it is not devoid of majesty.
"Mighty ... Military... “
As her voice fell, the voice of the servant also sounded, and the long and mighty nine songs echoed back to the bowels, and the voice resounded through the public hall and went straight to the sky.
At this moment, two servants came in with a plump woman, the woman held her hands tightly, she bowed her head, dressed in a pale yellow coarse cloth dress, her long hair was tied with a strip of cloth and braided at the back, and underneath she wore a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with delicate small flowers.
"My lord, the plaintiff has brought it." A servant bowed his hand to Yang Wenqing, and a servant escorted the woman to her knees. "Get on your knees."
Yang Wenqing waved his hand lightly, and the two officials retreated with interest.
After being silent for a while, Yang Wenqing slapped the "shocking wood" again, and the woman below couldn't help but lower her head when she heard this majestic voice, Yang Wenqing sighed in her heart, and she said, "Who is in the hall?" Why do you beat the drums? “
Although the woman was afraid, she suddenly heard this clear and majestic voice, and her heart was also calm, and the whole person lay on the ground with her hands on the ground, stammering, "The people's daughter Li Ruyu is from Baihejian Village, and she sued Uncle Li Xiang for beating people and escaping, and accused the beaten person Luo Wufeng of Liu Shudong Village for blackmailing my family to hurt the silver, and wronged my father to go to prison for him. “
"Oh? Li Ruyu, do you know that beating the drum and singing grievances will take twenty sticks to kill the mighty stick? Yang Wenqing said with a serious face.
In the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, only the case of "militaristic affairs, great greed and evil, strange injustices and misery" can be beaten, and the drum is struck, whether you are wronged or not, you will be beaten with ten sticks, commonly known as the killing stick!
In addition to this, if it is other cases, without exception, it is twenty sticks to kill the mighty stick, such a method is very cruel, many ordinary people often die in this link in the process of redressing grievances, but this effectively reduces the fatigue of the county lord's trial, in order to warn the masses not to abuse the resources of the law, not to beat the drum casually.
But as long as you can withstand this beating, you will naturally be protected by the government.
"Big, my lord, the people's daughter, the people's girl knows." Li Ruyu replied tremblingly, her body trembled, but the words she said were resolute, "Daddy is still in prison, how can the people's daughter, as the daughter of her father, clearly watch him being wrongly condemned in prison and suffer all the hardships and not care?" The folk girl is willing. “
