The charcoal seller's surname is Zhang Pai, and he is known as Zhang Laosan.

Early in the morning, Zhang Laosan came to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion and beat drums to sound grievances.

The two-sided cowhide drum was erected by Li Ji's decree, and the drum on the left side was specially used for the people to seek justice for the people.

There is a Dengwen Drum Tower on the right, and this Dengwen Drum is not so simple. If you have a grievance, but the government is shielding criminals, and you have full evidence in your hands, then you can beat the drum.

Dengwen drum is also known as the royal state, the drum tower has a special guard guard, once you knock it, you can go straight to the heavens. No matter what the emperor does, he must put down his work and personally file a case for you.

But one thing, if you don't have full evidence, and you beat this drum, then you're in trouble. Exile at the least, death at worst. After all, the emperor is very busy, and he can't let the people beat the drum and sue the emperor because of a big fart.

It is mentioned in the "Emperor Chronicle" that the wise monarch Yao Shun in ancient times had a "drum that dares to admonish". Anyone who has an opinion to advise the monarch or who has been wronged can beat the drum and deal with it publicly.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, there are clear historical records that there is a "road drum" hanging outside the main gate of the palace where Zhou Tianzi lives, and there are special officials responsible for guarding it. If the people beat this drum, the officials must immediately announce it at all levels, and if the grievances are serious, Zhou Tianzi will personally handle them without delay.

Later, the drum used by the people to beat the drum and voice the grievances had a special term, called "Dengwen Drum", and in the Jin Dynasty, the people who had no way to redress their grievances were allowed to appeal directly to the imperial court.

Since then, this system has been followed in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Tang law stipulates that if a common person beats the drum, the official must accept it, otherwise the official will be guilty.

Zhang Laosan picked up the drum hammer and beat the drum on the left side to the earth.

Not long after, the two classes of officials of Jingzhao Mansion stood on both sides with sticks in hand, and Jingzhao Yi Peishu appeared in court in official uniforms to apply for the case.

Jingzhao Mansion imitates the yamen of Zhou County, and stands in front of the door. A plaque is hung in the middle of the lobby, and the Qin mirror is hung high.

Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang had a mirror that could shine on people's hearts. The original parable is insightful. Later, it was also used as a metaphor for officials who are good at interrogating cases and prisons, and judging cases fairly and strictly.

In the Song Dynasty, this Qin mirror was hung high and became a mirror hanging, and the meaning of the word is one meaning.

Under the Qin mirror, Jing Zhaoyi Peishu sat in front of the hall. There was a screen behind Pei Shu, and behind the screen, Li Ji sat in the listening hall.

Pei Shu was shocked: "Who is below, who are you beating the drum and complaining about grievances?"

Zhang Laosan trembled a little, since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials. The official word is two-mouthed, no matter how you say it, it makes sense.

But he accepted ten taels of silver from the son, and he had to bite the bullet and say what happened yesterday: "Back to the adult, the villain Zhang Laosan is a person who left the village in the north of the city." Yesterday, I pulled an ox cart of charcoal from Huangling Mountain to sell in Beijing, how did I meet the Honglu Temple Qing Mansion, and the steward talked about a cart of charcoal for money. How could the steward be arrogant and unreasonable, and rob it together with the villain's ox cart, the villain had no choice but to come here to beat the drum and beg the adult to call the shots! ”

Leaving the village, it is the location of the displaced people in the north of the city.

A large number of displaced people poured into the capital, and the imperial court resettled them in the northern city. According to the direction of the gossip, it is divided into eight villages: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui, and this Zhang Lao San is the person who left the village.

Pei Shu was shocked: "Come on, go to Nongjingyi's mansion, and invite Honglu Siqing and the steward to this official to confront him."

Several officials took the command with their swords and turned away.

Zhang Laosan was a little scared, he looked around and didn't see the young man yesterday, and was thinking about it, Li Ji turned out from behind the screen.

Zhang Laosan was overjoyed when he saw it: "Son!"

"Shh Li Ji made a silent gesture: "Zhang Laosan, wait for that Honglu Siqing to confront you, you must not reveal that I am here." If the temple secretary refuses to admit what happened yesterday, you will go and beat this drum. ”

Li Ji pointed to the drum on the east side of the drum tower, Zhang Laosan was startled, he usually walked the streets and alleys and heard a lot about the capital. Knowing that the drum was beaten, it was shocking, and he was at a loss for a while.

Pei Shu next to him nodded at him: "You can rest assured and boldly knock, everything has its own official to make decisions for you."

With Jing Zhaoyi's words, Zhang Laosan felt a little more at ease.

Honglu Temple Qing Nong Jingyi is roasting fire at home, this Huangling Mountain charcoal is really resistant to burning. It's much stronger than the charcoal, and it's warm and burns for a long time, which is a good thing.

The second baby, the housekeeper next to him, beat him on the shoulder, and Nong Jingyi closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment: "Erwa, is it good to buy that cow yesterday and yesterday?"

The second baby thief grinned: "Don't worry, my lord, it's already tied to the backyard." With this ox, we will save a lot of labor in the spring. ”

'Bang bang bang! Someone knocked on the door of the house with a loud bang.

Nong Jingyi was furious: "Who is impatient to live, knock on the door of this official's house!"

The second baby raised her head: "I'll take a look." As he spoke, he went outside the door.

Not long after, the second baby broke into the mansion with a nervous face and a few officials.

Nong Jingyi was startled, and he stood up suddenly: "What is this for?"

A servant arched his hand: "Lord Siqing, on the orders of my family Jingzhao Yi Pei Shupei, I will bother Siqing to go to Jingzhao Mansion with the villain."

Nong Jingyi secretly screamed: "What happened?"

"Someone sued Siqing for forcible seizure and taking a farmer's oxcart for himself. The farmer went to Jingzhao Mansion early in the morning to beat the drum and voice his grievances, and Master Pei had no choice but to ascend to the court to take over the case. The official replied truthfully.

Nong Jingyi was taken aback: "This, when will this Jingzhao Mansion start working?"

"It was just opened today, but it was commanded from above."

Nong Jingyi secretly complained, when did this Jingzhao Mansion start to work badly, but it was at this time. it, I just wanted to take advantage of an ox cart, and I hit the muzzle of the gun.

"He's a bad man, the official thought he gave him six hanging money, and he dared to sue the official! Okay, this official will confront him with him. Nong Jingyi said and glanced at Erwa.

The second baby immediately understood, anyway, the old man had no evidence. At that time, he killed the peasant government and gave him six pieces of money, and it was this old man who made a false accusation.

At that moment, the second baby also shouted: "That's it, my lord, you are kind-hearted, yesterday you even gave the old man six yuan with an oxcart and charcoal." How can he have the heart of a jackal, and come to falsely accuse the lord again! ”

Nong Jingyi sneered: "If you don't talk about this poor ** plan, rich and long conscience, let's go, let's go to Jingzhao Mansion."

When he came to Jingzhao Mansion, Nong Jingyi arched his hand: "Master Pei,"

Pei Shu had a cold face, and he didn't give any face: "Master Nong, presumably the official has already told you the facts of the case."

Nong Jingyi saw that Pei Shu was not good, and he deliberately sneered at the moment: "What is the case?" I don't know. I am a member of the imperial court from the third grade, and Master Pei is so powerful that he actually sent someone to escort this official here, what is the reason! ”

Pei Shu clasped his hands into fists: "According to today's order, anyone who has grievances from the people to sue the officials, no matter how big or small your position is." Even if you are a product and three dukes, relatives of the kingdom, you must listen to the official announcement to come to this Jingzhao Mansion to surrender. ”

"Okay, that official wants to hear who is bold enough to falsely accuse me!" Saying that, Nong Jingyi sat down on the right side of the hall.

Jingguan, before the case is concluded, can sit aside and listen to the case.

Zhang Laosan was even more scared, looking at this posture, this Honglu Siqing was not afraid of this Jing Zhaoyi at all. Seeing that he had no fear, Zhang Laosan was even more nervous.

Pei Shu was shocked: "Zhang Laosan, tell the official in detail about your complaint."

At that moment, Zhang Laosan said yesterday's pass, and Nong Jingyi was furious: "Okay, you are a bold man, yesterday you said that you sold the car with charcoal to the official." The official took pity on you and gave you six pieces of money, but I didn't expect you to be crazy and falsely accuse the official! ”

The second baby of the steward came in with him, and he knelt down with Zhang Laosan.

The second baby pointed to Zhang Laosan: "That's it, the villain saw it with his own eyes yesterday, and my family gave this old man six pieces of money." This old man was very grateful yesterday, why did he take some medicine today, and he actually framed my family again. ”

Zhang Laosan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, this dog official was really mad: "You are talking nonsense, the villain only got the same money, how can there be as many as six hangings!" Master Pei, please call the shots for the villain! ”

Nong Jingyi was unforgiving: "Hmph, Master Pei." When it comes to evidence, this old man can't come up with the slightest evidence to prove that the official only gave him a penny, which is a false accusation! ”

Pei Shu nodded: "What Master Nong said makes sense, this transaction between the two of you is unfounded, and the official is really not good at judging." So, Zhang Laosan, do you have witnesses? ”

Zhang Laosan thought of Li Ji and couldn't help but glance at the screen.

Pei Shu coughed lightly and signaled Zhang Laosan not to be exposed: "Since Zhang Laosan, you have no witnesses, then the official of this case has not issued a verdict."

Zhang Laosan ignored it, rushed out of the yamen and went straight to the Dengwen Drum Tower, picked up the drum hammer and beat it.

Nong Jingyi was shocked: "You, what are you doing!" Crazy, that's the dragon drum of the Son of Heaven. You falsely accuse this official of being killed! ”

Nong Jingyi was scared, and Li Ji was not easy to deal with. This matter really alarmed the Son of Heaven, and with His Majesty's ability, he would know the truth if he didn't do it.

But this Diao Min has already knocked, and the Son of Heaven has to apply for the case in person, as soon as he thought of this, sweat flowed down Nong Jingyi's forehead.

Just thinking about it, Li Ji turned out from behind the screen with a cold face.

Nong Jingyi was so frightened that he almost fell off the stool: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Especially the second baby of Nong Jingyi, who was kneeling on the ground, he trembled with fright as if he had seen a ghost.

Li Ji sat in the lobby and patted the stunned wood: "Nong Jingyi, what can you say?"

At this time, the third child was also taken down by the guards on the drum, and came to the lobby to kneel down again.

Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, Nong Jingyi can only grit his teeth and die: "Your Majesty, this is purely a false accusation by Diao Min, and the minister did give six pieces of money."

Li Ji slammed and slapped the table: "Okay, you are a farmer, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin." I saw with my own eyes yesterday's events, that you and the stewards took and oppressed the people. You still have a shameless death and refuse to admit it. Erwa, look at who I am! ”

The second baby was so frightened that her teeth chattered and she couldn't speak, and Nong Jingyi was even more cold sweat on her back, could it be that Your Majesty was also present yesterday?
