The county government was also called the party office in ancient times, and then gradually evolved from the county tooth, such as the "Northern Qi Book • Song Shiliang Biography": "The daily yamen is silent, and there is no revenge of the litigant" The word "yamen" has appeared, so the market is mostly called the county government, but not the public office.

During the Cao Wei period, the great Kanyu scholar Chen Mirage wrote the "Qingwu Sutra", and then opened a sect, using the thaumaturgy of the sun, moon, yin and yang to gather clouds in all directions, showing the unity of heaven and man, which directly affected the construction style of the official government thereafter. Qiantang County is no exception, its house sits in the north and faces south, the gate opens to the south, and the city god temple located in the northwest of the county is in a line. With 100 feet as the shape and 1,000 feet as the potential, the central axis is set up in the lobby as the main point, and then the lobby is carried out in a rigorous and orderly manner. There are five courtyards before and after, there are bell and drum towers, according to the wall in front, there are lotus ponds, instrument gates, halls, two halls, main buildings, swallow halls, back gardens, and there are class rooms, Cao rooms, pavilions, pawn houses, prisons and other buildings on both sides. There are rules for regulation, there is a style for the system, in the vast and intelligent, and the meaning of thrift and simplicity, in order to change customs and advocate long-term peace and stability.

Xu You stood still, looking at the county gate in front of him, the eaves were warped, and the four pillars in front stood on the drum-shaped pillar stone, supporting the beam head and the forehead. There is no finch between the pillars and branches, and there is no bucket arch under the eaves; The two ends of the ridge are slightly upturned, and there is no kiss beast to match, and the vertical ridge is not decorated with horned beasts. Everything is natural, unpretentious, and the mansions of the wealthy families in the city are very different, but from the inside to the outside exudes a solemn atmosphere, which makes people stand under the door and distract from distractions.

"Please, don't stand stupidly. When I go into the Ming Mansion, if I am willing to see you, it will be considered your creation, if I don't see you, don't blame the constant whip in the hands of the brothers for being ruthless. ”

Whipping is usually not able to kill people, but there are too many doorways in the yamen, and if you move your hands and feet slightly, you will be injured internally, and there will be no major problems on the surface, but when you return home, after ten days and a half months, you will vomit blood and die if you are not careful.

So in this kind of case, the bitter master will give money and bribes to the thief, after all, if you spend money to eliminate disasters, you can't get along with anyone, don't get along with your own life.

Xu You couldn't hear what he meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, wait until you see Gu County's order, and then talk about the execution!" ”

"Hmph, let's see how long you pretend!"

After entering the gate and turning the wall, Xu You turned around and saw that the wall stone was painted with lotus moonlight and sea water ornamentation, which means that it is as clear as water, straight as a lotus, and bright as the moon, which is quite elegant. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, a greedy beast was directly painted on the wall, with a bloody mouth, wanting to swallow the sun and the moon, and later died under the cliff, although there was no beauty, but at least with a bit of murderous aura.

Xu You has always believed that as pro-people officials who directly face the general public, officials at the county level must always feel the guillotine hanging on their heads, otherwise they will act as a prestige, dictate and force the people too much, thus causing a big mess!

In front of the wall is the lotus pond, followed by the instrument door, usually do not open, to go east and west two corner gates, the east corner gate is the happy door, for the county order and the officials to enter and exit. The West Corner Gate is a desperate gate, and most prisoners go from this side when they are arraigned, while death row prisoners must go from this side, and there is no need to negotiate.

Zheng Jing deliberately gave Xu You a dismount, and made a look, and several street guards surrounded Xu You and prepared to go to the door. Although Zuo Yan is not from a high background, he has always obeyed Yuan's orders, and the people he usually sees and contacts are all people on the human side, and he is either respected or noble. In other words, the environment determines the vision, his vision is too high, the first time he entered the county government in his life, he really has never seen the following ghosts and tricks, and he is still ignorant for some reason.

Xu You is different, he has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run, the desperate gate in the county government is also called the ghost gate, how can he walk casually? His face turned cold, and he said: "I have told Zheng Thief what I should say, I thought you were a smart person, so I would wait until I met Gu Xianling before deciding to be prestigious." Unexpectedly, they had already entered the yamen, a distance of three or five steps, a cup of tea, but the thief still couldn't help it......"

Zheng Jing said with a dark face: "Let you go, where is so much nonsense!" You are a prisoner I brought back from Zhibin Building, do you still want to enter from Ximen? Delusion! ”

Xu You stood with his hands in his hands and said: "I came with you to see Gu County's order, for the sake of naturalization, but it is not a human crime, this point, please Zheng Thief must be clear!" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Jing took two steps back, stood in front of Xu You, stared at his eyes, and said jokingly: "You keep saying that you want to see the Ming Mansion, but you are neither old acquaintances nor have any reason to make friends, even if you do, can you still carp jump over the dragon gate and become a guest of the Ming Mansion?" ”

Xu You leaned forward and laughed in a low voice: "That's not necessarily, Gu Xianling has the wisdom to know people, if you fancy my poetry and conversation, you can't help but mention one or two." It's not like some ignorant people who are used to looking at people through their nostrils, how can they tell the difference between beauty and ugliness? ”

Zheng Jing was furious, stared at Xu You for a long time, a gloomy smile cracked at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and said, "I said that you are a human criminal, and you are a human criminal." I'll let you go to the end of the door, you have to go today! Someone, take him to the court! ”

The street guards surrounded him violently, and the ring-headed knife on his waist was half unsheathed, like a terrible ghost asking for his life, if it was really a helpless civilian, he would be scared half to death at the moment.

Seeing this situation, Xu You shook his head and smiled, and said to Zuo Yan: "See, the official word has two mouths, it seems that such an unqualified little official, just dressed in green, can be arrogant to such a point, no wonder people say that since ancient times, the yamen has opened to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money......"

A street soldier with a meaty face couldn't hear it, and scolded: "What kind of bullshit are you, you dare to talk to a thief like this?" Just now, our brother put up with you along the way, and now he has entered the yamen, whether he is dead or alive, but the thief catches a word, and he dares to blow nonsense without heaven and earth? Believe it or not, I'll give you ten lashes to taste? ”

Xu You looked at him and said with a smile: "Ten whips, okay, I wrote it down!" ”

"Heh, the little mouth is still quite hard? Look at your Wenwen is weak, but it's pretty, presumably the buttocks are very soft when rubbed, so it's better to let Ye Ye touch it first......"

Yes yes is the meaning of father, it seems that people who commit cheap people like the habit of being a father, there is not much difference between ancient and modern.

Xu You nodded and said, "Come here, touch it and try it!" ”

"Don't you dare?"

Seeing the tension, the two sides were about to fight, a person walked out from behind the happy door, wearing a moon-white long-sleeved robe, a big crown and high shoes, a belt around the waist, a buckle hollowed out with animal patterns, beautiful like a woman, eyebrows into the sideburns, clear eyes, really the posture of the jade tree.

Zheng Jing was flustered for a while, knelt down, and said, "Meet the Ming Mansion!" Seeing that Zheng Jing was kneeling, the other street guards hurriedly put away their knives and returned them to their sheaths, and they also knelt down to greet him.

Originally, the subordinates in the official mansion of Chu State usually could see their bosses to give salutes, and there was no need to kneel down for non-major etiquette, but Zheng Jing didn't know why, his heart was weak, and he knelt down as soon as his legs were weak.

In this way, the person standing was very prominent, and seeing that the person looked this way, Xu You smiled, stepped forward, and said: "Yixing Xu You, I was ordered to Qiantang to make up a household, and I came to visit the Ming Mansion and naturalize to listen to the tune!" ”

Since the Han Dynasty, the word Ming Mansion has been mostly used to call the county guard, but after Cao Wei, at the beginning of the two Jin Dynasty, it was also used to honor the county order. For example, "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty • The Biography of Wu You": "The state makes laws, and prisoners are prisoners." Although the Ming Mansion is mournful, there is nothing to be done. Mr. Wang Xianqian explained: "The county order is the Ming government, and it was first seen here. ”

Therefore, Zheng Jing kept shouting about the Ming Mansion in and out of his words, although he had the meaning of sycophancy, but he also used it properly. Xu You naturally couldn't say hello to Gu County in person, it was so polite, but it was too unkind.

The man was taken aback, stretched out his hand to support Xu You's arm, and said, "But Xu Qilang, Xu Weizhi?" ”

Xu You raised his head, smiled lightly, and said, "It's down." ”

The man breathed a long sigh of relief and said happily: "It's really small, fortunately, fortunately!" A few days ago, I got the news that you were assassinated in Jinling, and I sighed for a long time, and I didn't know how to respond to the Lord. Well, you're finally safe and sound! ”

Xu You saw that his words were sincere, and his concern came from the heart, and he was also grateful, and said: "You wear a sinful body, and you don't dare to be the love of the Ming Mansion!" ”

"What is the sin? The Lord has already forgiven your sins, this is not Yixing, let alone his Shen Wuxing, in Qiantang, I see who dares to come to you for trouble! ”

Zheng Jing, who was kneeling on the ground, was already shocked when he heard the words "Holy Order", and then heard Xu You report to his home, only to know that the person who was talking about his Ming Mansion all the time during this period of time was actually this person who was brought back by himself from Zhibin Building, his brain was suddenly blank, his ears were roaring, and he couldn't hear the following words clearly.

After the greetings, Gu Mingfu took Xu You's hand, and was about to go back into the back of the Ximen, turned his head to see Zheng Jing on the ground, and reprimanded: "I heard what you just said, you are also respectful in doing things on weekdays, but I didn't expect to be so ugly in front of others, I spared you, and the law can't spare you." And go to Fa Cao to receive his own punishment, don't do this thief arrest from today, go to Bing Cao to be a soldier, in order to see the after-effects. ”

Bing Cao is in charge of the training and recruitment of soldiers, but the Chu system is in charge of the army, and the military is under the state capital, and even the county guard is a subordinate role, not to mention the county-level soldiers. So listening to the majesty, it is actually a cold stove, and it can't be compared with the hot kang of Hu Cao, Servant Cao, and Fa Cao. And from a thief to a doorman, he has no oil and water, no face, and no power, and the people who have been bullied by him before have to come to him every day for trouble?

Zheng Jing remembered what happened in the future, slapped himself twice, and then remembered what Xu You had reminded him of, and then decided after seeing the county order, but he didn't listen, for Zhan Ting's 10,000 money, he lost his future, and this deal was simply lost!

"Xu Langjun, Xu Langjun! It's all my fault, I have a pair of dog eyes...... You are a nobleman, help me plead with the Ming Mansion...... Look, for my sake, spare me, spare me this time......"

Think about the face before, and then look at the way I am trembling and even starting to stutter when I speak, why is it really the reason for the trouble?

However, Xu You is not a saint, at this time, he is already benevolent, where will he intercede for him, and said lightly: "This is the matter of Gu Mingfu's ya, what identity do I dare to talk about?" When I arrived at Bing Cao, I worked an errand and had something to eat, unlike the one just now, who shouted that he would beat me with ten lashes, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to eat well in the future. ”

With a plop, the street man fainted directly!

"Pull it down, give it twenty lashes, and send it to Heti for three years of hard labor!"

Walk out from the instrument gate, it is a spacious courtyard, there is no ring stone in the middle, and the six-character precept engraved on the ring stone "Gongsheng Ming, Lian Shengwei" will not appear in the county government until after the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the courtyard is the main hall, which is also the place where the county order is promoted to the hall to decide the case, and then there is the second hall, which is the place where the bureaucrats discuss official affairs. Then there is a three-story main building, that is, the residence of the county magistrate and his dependents, and there is a three-foot square copper mirror erected at the entrance of the door, which is used to dress properly and shine on the gains and losses, which means self-reflection.

"I live here alone, my family is in Wu County, and it's boring to go in, why don't you go to the back garden with me?"

"Ming Mansion ......"

"Hey, what else is it called Mingfu, how old am I to you, just call the word. By the way, Weizhi must not know my words yet, let me introduce it first! ”

He smiled and said, "Wu Jun Gu Yun, Zi Feiqing, I've seen Weizhi!" ”
