Chapter 135: Drumming in the middle of the night

"I didn't drive you away, you go and see how much you can make up the transcript, how much you can make up, finish it early and go to bed early." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Zhou Ning looked up at the sky, the moon should be hollow around the sub-hour.

The master book was stunned again, he had long been accustomed to Zhou Ning's strictness, and he never dreamed that Zhou Ning would have such a tolerant side.

Last time, he just scolded the suspect and said, "You are a thief, you are born a cheap bone." Zhou Ning, who happened to be passing by, heard it, so he reprimanded him fiercely and deducted him three big money.

This time he fell asleep in the court, mistakenly took the record, and let him go so easily? didn't even scold, and let him go to bed early.

He's not suffering. Flattered, but really shocked, Zhou Ning has been in the house for a long time, he is still standing stupidly in the moon, if it weren't for the cold night wind, he doesn't know how long it will take to come back to his senses.

Zhou Ning's tolerance towards him had already warmed his heart like a spring breeze, and when he returned to the court, he saw Lu Ming sitting in his place, lifting a pen to help him make up the record, and his heart was suddenly as hot as a fire.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" He pinched himself big. Legs, it doesn't seem to hurt much. Is it really a dream? He raised his hand and slapped himself in the mouth. Bar.

There was a crisp sound of 'pop', which startled Lu Ming to look up violently, only to see him covering his face and 'ouch'. Lu Mingcai came to the yamen for less than a whole day, and he didn't know anyone, so he smiled and said, "What kind of hobby are yours?" ”

How can anyone still like to slap their face? The master bookkeeper also laughed while rubbing his face: "That, Master Lu, right?" ”

He didn't remember the name Lu Ming much, he only knew that he was the new master: "Are you helping me make up the transcript?" ”

"Do you think I'm writing a book?" Lu Ming lowered his head and continued to write, he had personally experienced the whole process, this was the first time he stood in the court, and his heart was extremely excited.

Every second of the picture from beginning to end is deeply engraved in his mind, and he can record every sentence word for word.

The master bookkeeper stood next to him, trying to help but couldn't, he didn't know what the adults had asked, let alone how Pan answered, he couldn't make up this record himself.

"Master, you say I'll write it." He was really embarrassed to let Lu Ming write with a pen, and it was already a great favor for Lu Ming to dictate to him.

In the middle of the night, who wants to accompany you to make up the transcript without sleeping? Of course, you are responsible for your dereliction of duty, does this have a copper plate to do with Lu Ming?

"It's okay, you go to sleep. I'm okay with what I'm saying, but I really don't understand what I'm saying. Lu Ming was excited, writing a few words is nothing.

Why is the master embarrassed to really go to sleep? He just sat next to him and watched quietly. Zhou Ning reviewed it for most of the hour, and it took a lot of words to retell the whole process, and the calligraphy was very slow.

After Lu Ming finished writing the last word, he lifted the pen upwards and said happily: "It's over." ”

"Master, thank you so much, I'm really" Before the master could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard someone beating the drum in front of the ya.

The master bookkeeper was not small, but at this time, the drum of grievances suddenly sounded, and the public hall under the light had a gloomy smell, he looked at Lu Ming and asked in a low voice: "Is it a drum of grievances?" ”

The sound of the drum must be immediately promoted, and the drum is the law of the king, and it is the rule of death. After all, county officials are also human beings, and it is impossible for them to work 24 hours a day.

So the drumsticks were put away after the afternoon and put them up in the morning. Even during normal working hours, not everything can be beaten.

Those who play the drum indiscriminately without major grievances will be beaten, and as for how serious the grievances must be, it depends on the mood of the county officials.

In some places, there is another system of killing the mighty stick, no matter what the matter is, before going to the court, there are dozens of sticks to say, and those who agree to be killed by the mighty stick will also voice the grievance, most of them are really wronged, and the matter is not small.

Zhou Ning didn't set this rule, but whenever someone beat the drum, he would go straight to the court, and he believed that no one would joke about the drum.

Some things are really not serious enough in comparison, but they will be tried when they are taken over. It's not a big deal for the yamen, but for the people, the sky is about to fall.

The master book was obviously a little scared, Lu Ming was very bold, he was not afraid, but he didn't know what to do. He listened sideways, and there was indeed the sound of drumming outside.

And the sound is getting more and more urgent. He listened to it and said to the main book: "Is someone beating the drum, is he going to ascend to the hall now?" ”

Lu Ming didn't know anything about the affairs in the yamen, he thought that someone who played the drum had to be promoted. The chief bookkeeper scolded angrily: "Which god kills, eats the heart of a bear and the leopard is gallant, and dares to come to the yamen to die." ”

The master bookkeeper scolded people very fiercely, but he didn't dare to go out himself, he pulled Lu Ming and walked out of the door together. Under normal circumstances, there should be two night shift officials guarding the door, but today it happened that both officials took leave.

Zhou Ning originally thought that standing two people at the yamen in the middle of the night would be a waste of hard work, would someone run into the court in the middle of the night to steal things? Even though he knew there was no one at the door tonight, he didn't arrange for someone else to take over.

When I walked to the door, I could hear it more clearly, it was someone beating the drum indiscriminately. The master bookkeeper dragged Lu Ming and said, "Don't be afraid, let's go out and have a look." ”

Lu Ming was timid when he looked like that, so he smiled and said, "I'll go out and have a look first, just wait here." ”

"How's that going to work? Let's go out together. As the master bookkeeper was talking, Lu Ming opened the door suddenly, and the master bookkeeper reflexively hid behind the door.

Lu Ming stepped out and saw someone clapping his arms and beating the drum. The master bookkeeper listened to no unusual sounds outside before walking out from behind the door.

"Toot!" The master shouted majestically: "Boldly beat the drum of injustice in the middle of the night, do you know that this is the royal law?" Thanks to you for hitting me tonight, if someone else had to spank you. I can't bloom, so get out of here. ”

Someone came out, and the man stopped beating the drum, and hurriedly shouted at the main book: "Hurry up and let you know the county to come out, hurry up, I have something urgent to find him." ”

"Ouch ho, what a big breath, you are the Bodhisattva of your family? You light incense and get it? "The master doesn't have a good face to show him, if there is no official at the door, he will definitely catch this drum beater first.

"It's really a dog's eye to look down on people, hurry up and call the county order out to me, you can't afford to miss a big thing."
