Suxi County Ya is very magnificent, with black doors, green tiles, white walls, notices posted on the walls, and vermilion seals exude majesty.

There was a servant on duty in front of the door, and someone greeted him with a smile and said: "Wu Tou worked hard, this trip brought back a lot of oil and water, according to the old rules, first flail to kill Wei or leave it in prison and squat for two days?" ”

Along the way, Wu Zhutou thought about it, even if these scholars have some backgrounds in front of the royal family, what is the matter, and if something happens, they will have their own inner house envoys to bear it, and if they study it carefully, it is the face of the Son of Heaven's family, and no matter how powerful they are, they must obediently bow their heads.

"Let's put it up first, be careful, there are a few thorns in there." Wu Zhutou glanced at Shi Chongwei and a few people, and the official understood and said with a smile: "Wu Tou, don't worry, our brothers have never seen anyone, and when it comes to our one-acre and three-point land, no matter how strong the lord is, he will let him know that Wang Fa is like a furnace." As he spoke, he pulled out the iron chain around his waist, and the officials around him surrounded him, and forced Shi Chongwei and the others murderously.

Shi Chongwei was a little dumbfounded, as the crown prince, he was naturally familiar with the laws of the court, He Ziying told him that there was a set of processes for complaining, adjudicating, adjudicating, and closing the case, where was the practice of flail before arriving at the county yamen.

Xue Minlin was a little anxious, blocked in front of Shi Chongwei, and yelled: "Presumptuous, who dares to do it?" ”

Jiang Anyi has done county orders and assassination history, and has some understanding of the bad habits of the yamen, and if it really falls into the hands of these officials, some of them are tossing and turning, if they really want to hurt the prince, even if they are chopped up, it will be useless.

The chaos should be cut with a quick knife, and there was a Dengwen drum under the left corridor of the county ya, Jiang Anyi shook his body, flashed through the gap of the yagong like a swimming fish, and came to the corridor to pick up the drumstick and "dong dong" to knock it. Zheng Lu, the drum sounded a pillar of incense, and the county order must be promoted, otherwise the crime of delay will be punished. Usually the Dengwen drum is just a decoration in front of the ya, and the people all know that it is reasonable to beat the Dengwen drum first, and then talk about it, and if there is no big grievance, who will suffer the thirty boards first.

Wu Zhutou saw that Dengwen was drummed, and knew that this matter was furious, so he glared at Shi Chongwei and the others viciously, and shouted: "Look at them, I will go to serve the master to ascend to the court." ”

Today is not the day of the announcement, Suxi County ordered Guo Shuhui to play chess with He Liang in the third hall, heard the sound of the drum Guo Shuhui held the white chess "horn" fell on the chessboard, He Liang took advantage of the situation to disturb the chess pieces, and said with a smile: "My lord, there must be something important when I hear the sound of the drum, and the lower official will go to the hall with the adult." ”

Guo Shuhui lost slightly to He Liang in chess, and finally won in sight, but he was disturbed by the drums. Standing up angrily, he walked towards the lobby, and the chickens and dogs jumped along the road, and the officials and officials who heard the drums poured into the lobby.

Waiting for Guo Shuhui to walk into the lobby and sit firmly behind the official case, the officials on both sides were already neatly arranged, and the county officials, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant were standing on the side and waiting, and more than a dozen officials were performing their duties. Guo Shuhui slapped the shocking wood on the case, slapped it down heavily, and shouted: "Bring the person who beats the drum to the hall." ”

Shi Chongwei took Jiang Anyi and a few people to the front, followed by those farmers, and at the back were a large group of people watching the excitement, hula and blocked the outside of the lobby tightly. Shi Chongwei led everyone to stand on the plaintiff's side, those peasants consciously knelt on the ground to see the eldest master, and Shi Chongwei, Jiang Anyi and others stood up, like standing out from the crowd. Guo Shuhui took a look and understood that these people have meritorious fame, and they can be exempted from kneeling, maybe they are still bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, probably there is power in the family, and he said in the county order on the fifth grade

Maybe it's not in their eyes. Don't worry, come to the three-point place where you came to Guo, and when you understand, there is a way to clean you up.

Guo Shuhui is thirty-seven years old, a Jinshi in Fengle for six years, and has been an official for 15 years. The county order of the world is divided into four classes, in addition to the upper, middle and lower, there are also Wan'an, Changnian, Heyang, Luonan, Suxi, Taizhi six counties directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial capital, all of which are official bodies on the five products, and are nicknamed "Zhen County" by the officialdom.

Some people regard "Zhen County" as a daunting path, the powerful under the feet of the world are like carp crossing the river, it is difficult to make a difference, but some people regard it as a shortcut to Qingyun, Guo Shuhui tried his best to finally be promoted to Suxi County Commander in the third year of meritorious service. The first thing he did after arriving was to go to the Neizhuang Mansion to visit Old Man Shi, and to marry Shi Fengen, the son of Shi Shen, as a righteous brother. With his great help, the area of the East Palace Imperial Village expanded rapidly, and the fields changed from 1,000 hectares to more than 3,400 hectares.

Guo Shuhui tapped on the startled wood and asked with a smile: "Where are the four of you from, but you have a meritorious reputation, what are you doing here?" "Salute first and then soldier, so as not to offend the great character and not be able to end the scene.

Before coming, the four of them had agreed, and Shi Chongwei motioned for Xiong Yi'an to come forward and speak. Xiong Yi'an closed the folding fan and arched his hand upwards and said: "My lord, the four of us are from Fangzhou, this is my son-in-law Xiong Dalang, this is Mr. Jiang, Xiong An is a companion, all have a reputation for showing talent, this Xue Lin is the guard of my son-in-law, I wait for the four of us to study so far, in front of the inner village to make the door to see the slaves whipping the people, and take a righteous shot, these people are wronged and hope that the adults will be the masters of the people." ”

Guo Shuhui's eyes froze, and he said coldly: "What kind of complaint do the people from Fangzhou come to my Fuzhou, the local people will complain to the official if they have grievances, and they want to wait for the dog to do something with the mouse, and then who will ring the Dengwen drum, and play thirty boards according to the law, and come to the people." ”

The audience shouted in unison: "Serve your lordship." ”

"Take down the drummer, and take down the thirty boards." Guo Shuhui knew in his heart that eighty percent of the drumming was the guard of the sturdy man, the son, who made an example of the monkey, as long as he did not hurt the son of unknown origin, there was room for maneuver.

Wu Zhutou was beaten by Jiang Anyi, and he was also responsible for studying it carefully, maybe the county lord was angry, and it was possible for the five major boards and the top ten boards. Listening to Guo County's order to punish the people who beat the drums, Wu Zhutou glanced at his subordinates, and four or five people surrounded Jiang Anyi with chains, and the chains shook and fell on Jiang Anyi's neck.

Jiang Anyi didn't dodge, Wu Zhutou pulled the chain into his arms hard, ready to pull Jiang Anyi down. The chains collapsed straight, Jiang Anyi didn't even shake it, and Wu Zhu's head pulled three or four times in succession, as if dragging a stone pillar, not moving at all. Wu Zhutou was anxious, and scolded the officials who were watching the excitement next to him: "I haven't come up to help yet." ”

Four or five officials worked together to pull the chains, Jiang Anyi was afraid that he would hurt Shi Chongwei and them, so he didn't bother to see them in general, so he walked to the middle of the court, Wu Zhutou pulled the chains hard, and shouted: "Kneel." ”

Jiang Anyi has always had no good impression of the servants, and snorted contemptuously: "I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." ”

Wu Zhutou was furious, threw away the chains, and snatched a stick of water from the hand of the official beside him

The fire stick smashed viciously towards the crook of Jiang Anyi's feet, and in a fit of rage, he was about to smash Jiang Anyi's legs.

Water and fire sticks, black on the top and red on the bottom, round on the top and flat on the bottom, made of good hardwood, Wu Zhutou started from ordinary officials, and practiced water and fire sticks under hard work, and a stick can crush the foot-thick granite, this time he has a dead force, in his opinion, Jiang Anyi's leg bones will definitely be smashed into pieces.

With a loud "pop", Shi Chongwei closed his eyes in fright, although he knew that Master Jiang's martial arts were outstanding, but this stick was fierce, don't hurt Master Jiang. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Anyi standing upright, the water and fire stick was broken in two, and Wu Zhutou was stunned with half of the wooden stick.

Guo Shuhui was also startled, he was a civil official, and he didn't know what it meant, but seeing that the person who was tortured was okay when the water and fire stick was broken, he suddenly felt that his face plummeted, and he slapped the startled wood into a "pop" sound, and shouted: "Give me another beating." ”

Those officials with sticks stepped forward one after another, and the water and fire sticks were slammed towards Jiang Anyi's two legs, and the sound of "click" was endless, and those officials either broke the water and fire sticks in their hands or were shocked and fell backwards, and the hall was in chaos. Shi Chongwei clapped his hands and smiled: "Master Jiang is really majestic." ”

Xue Minlin was secretly heartbroken, he didn't expect Jiang Zhuangyuan to be superb, such a person is also a top player in the army, but unfortunately he is a civil servant, otherwise he would have recruited him to his command if he said anything. By the way, this Jiang Daren's official position is even higher than himself, so forget it. In fact, Xue Minlin looked away, Jiang Anyi is not a hard skill practiced horizontally, but a true qi practiced to the extreme, rigid and soft and casual, and protected outside the body as hard as iron and tough as leather.

There was a commotion among the people listening outside the lobby, Guo Shuhui knocked on the startled wood and shouted "Silence" again and again, the development of the matter is now a little out of control, if you can't subdue the gangsters in front of you, your prestige will plummet. Guo Shuhui rolled his eyes and said coldly: "Boldly Diao Min, you actually dare to resist the royal law, if you don't punish it severely, what's the matter." Come on, bamboo book clip. ”

The bamboo book is clamped, the inmate is handcuffed and fixed, the book jacket woven from the bamboo board is wrapped around the inmate's body, and the ropes on both sides of the book jacket are turned to contract and roll the body, so that the inmate feels pain. Jiang Anyi had seen this kind of torture when he was the commander of Fuluo County, and the officials introduced this kind of torture and told him that it could not be used lightly, but could only be used against the most vicious thieves and murderers who refused to confess.

Jiang Anyi was furious, this county order was clearly intended to maim or even kill himself, Shi Chongwei didn't know why, he felt that his eyes were wide open, how could he see such a scene in the East Palace and the court, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, let them see how powerful you are, let them open their eyes." In fact, it was himself who wanted to open his eyes.

Xiong Yi'an's face turned blue, he knew this kind of punishment, in case Jiang Anyi was wrong, the Son of Heaven would blame him, and he would have to bear the blame. wanted to open his mouth to persuade, but seeing Shi Chongwei's face full of excitement and joy, the words shrank back to his mouth.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke, Jiang Anyi had no choice but to obey the order, asked the official to tie himself up, put the bamboo jacket on his body, and began to twist the cowhide rope, feeling that the book jacket was getting tighter and tighter. Shi Chongwei held his breath and watched with wide eyes, he was so engrossed in watching the excitement that he forgot that it was his teacher who was punished.

Jiang Anyi held back the fire in his heart, took a deep breath, the bamboo jacket became tighter and tighter, and it was so tight that it was urgent, Jiang Anyi exhaled and shouted: "Open." Yuan Xuan's true anger dispersed, the "crackling" sound was loud, the bamboo jacket exploded and bounced open, the cowhide rope was broken, and the people in the hall were so shocked that they opened their mouths.
