Chapter 121: Dog Officer
The second day after Qin Tian subdued Monome and the others.
Early in the morning, the cold wind was raging and the weather was gloomy, Qin Tian had just gotten up and washed his face, when he heard the sound of drums outside.
"What's going on?" Qin Tian asked.
At this time, a servant hurriedly ran over: "My lord, someone is beating a drum and shouting grievances. ”
In front of the yamen of each state capital, there is a drum and a bell, and when the bell and drum ring, the official will go to the court.
This is a rule that has been handed down since the time of Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty, and officials who violate it will be severely punished.
Of course, the law says so, but more often than not, not many officials follow it.
Qin Tian heard someone beating a drum and shouting grievances, and the corners of his eyes condensed slightly, he was afraid that he still had to come.
"Ascension!"
With a loud shout, the official immediately gave the order, and after a short time, Qin Tian, who was wearing an official uniform, led people to the lobby.
"Bring people in."
"Mighty ......"
Soon, a thin man was brought up from the outside, but the county government at this time was different from the county government in later generations, although there were drums in front of the county yamen at this time, but there was a wall between the county government gate and the county government hall, and the main function of this wall was to prevent the people outside from seeing the situation of the trial inside.
Therefore, outside the lobby, although there were many people standing outside waiting for news, they could not see the situation inside.
Qin Tian looked at the man in the hall and asked, "You beat the drum and complained, who do you want to sue?" ”
The man said: "Back to the adult's words, the grass people want to sue Master Zhou Zhou." ”
Qin Tian frowned and asked, "What is the matter with suing Zhou Zhou?" ”
"The grass people borrowed his usual money a few days ago, but today he wants the grass people to pay him back ten times, this is simply a robbery, and please let the adults know."
When the officials in the hall heard this, they looked at each other and complained to Zhou Zhou about this situation, which they had not encountered for a long time.
This time, the new county commander encountered this, and they were suddenly very curious about what Qin Tian would do.
Qin Tian sat in the lobby at this time, with a look of surprise on his face, and said, "You borrowed his usual money, and he actually asked you to pay back ten times?" ”
"Yes, my lord, the grass people borrowed money to treat his wife, but I didn't expect him to ask the grass people to repay so much money, the grass people ...... There is so much money, and he said that if the grass people don't pay back, they will buy my wife as a slave to pay off the debt, this is ...... This...... Adults have to call the shots for the grass people. ”
The man was crying in the lobby, Qin Tian suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Zhou Zhou is so bold to do such a thing, come here, escort Zhou Zhou to this official." ”
Hearing this, the hearts of those officials suddenly moved, they didn't expect Qin Tian to dare to go against Zhou Zhou, but while they were shocked, they didn't dare to say more, and someone immediately ran to Xuan Zhouzhou.
Zhou Zhou was already waiting in the house, he just wanted to see Qin Tian's attitude, and when he heard that Qin Tian wanted him to go to the county office, Zhou Zhou frowned: "This Qin Tian, really intend to go against the old man?" ”
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Zhou snorted, and then followed the official to the county office.
When he came to the county office, Zhou Zhou saluted and said: "I don't know what happened when the adults Xuancao people came?" ”
Qin Tian glanced at Zhou Zhou and asked, "This person sued you, saying that he borrowed your usual money, but you asked him to pay back ten times, is there such a thing?" ”
Zhou Zhou was not in a hurry, and said: "Back to the adult's words, there is indeed something to do." ”
Qin Tian frowned, his expression was cold, and he asked again: "He also said that if you can't pay the money, you are going to sell her wife as a slave, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Back to the adult, there is also this matter, but the grass people are doing things in accordance with the regulations, when this person borrowed money from the grass people, the grass people have already said that they will repay the interest of 500 wen a day, and if they can't pay it back after a few days, they will sell his wife to be a slave to pay off the debt, which is clearly written in black and white."
Saying that, Zhou Zhou took a contract, it was a very rough piece of paper, and after Qin Tian took it, he found that there was really this on it.
And after reading it like this, Qin Tian looked at the man in the hall and asked, "It's all written like this in this contract, what else are you suing Zhou Zhou?" ”
When the man heard this, he immediately panicked, and knelt down for Qin Tian: "My lord, the villain is illiterate, they asked me to draw a charge at that time, and I don't know what they wrote, because of lack of money, I directly pressed my handprint, and the adult noticed it, they didn't make it clear to the grass people at all......
Qin Tian naturally understands this matter, but in this situation, Zhou Zhou is obviously reasonable, and his current soldiers and horses have not yet been trained, and it is not appropriate to fall out with Zhou Zhou, so at this time, Qin Tian suddenly shouted: "Enough, you don't notice it yourself, but at this time, you will tell others to others, how can you let this official help you?" ”
"Your Excellency...... Adult ......"
"Quit!"
Qin Tian didn't say much, and withdrew directly, this matter is over, Zhou Zhou turned around and left after a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Mansion, not long after Zhou Zhou arrived home, Lu Jiu came.
"Lord Lu, it seems that your worries are superfluous, this Qin Tian is still all the way with us, you see how much he protects me today." Zhou Zhou was a little proud, because no matter who it was, he could see that Qin Tian's behavior today was obviously favoring him.
Lu Jiu was a very cautious person, and said, "Don't be complacent too early, he just can't find a reason to condemn you." ”
Zhou Zhou pursed his lips, he felt that Lu Jiu took Qin Tian too seriously, how powerful can a young man in his teens be?
However, there was no need for him to fall out with Lu Jiu because of this, he just asked, "Then in your opinion, what should we do next?" ”
"The matter of Qin Tian protecting you still has to be spread, so that the people of the entire Longkou County will know, in this case, Qin Tian will not be able to argue, and he can only join us."
Under the pressure of public opinion, he wanted to make Qin Tian have no choice.
Zhou Zhou nodded after listening: "This is easy to say, leave it to me." ”
After the two of them finished saying this, Lu Jiu retreated, and just before this evening, many people in Longkou County knew the specific circumstances of today's trial.
The person who complained was obviously cheated by Zhou Zhou, but Qin Tian not only didn't do anything to Zhou Zhou, but reprimanded the person who complained.
When the news spread, the people immediately gave Qin Tian a new name: Dog Official.
"I thought that the new county magistrate could call the shots for our people, but it turned out to be just a dog official, and we, no one will save it."
"Who said no, the dog officials have already protected Zhou Zhou like this, how will we live in the future?"
"Alas, the dog officer, the dog officer can't die well, he can't die well."
"That's right, the dog officer can't die well......"
The people were filled with righteous indignation, Longkou County Ya, Qin Tian could only sigh lightly when he listened to Qin Wu's report, he was bitter in his heart.
