Chapter 5: Spanking
Yang Qiuchi shook his head a little embarrassed, looked up at the village halfway up the mountain, and wanted to go into the village to ask, but he was very tired after walking for most of the day, thinking that it was only five miles away from the county seat anyway, so he simply went into the city and asked again, so he walked along the path to the county seat.
After walking for a short time, I went out of the mountains to the plains, and after walking for a while, I saw a section of the city wall rising on the horizon from a distance, and on a big road, the road was full of people, most of these pedestrians were wearing coarse cloth green clothes similar to their own, or wearing straw hats and carrying burdens, or pushing carts, or leading cattle, coming and going in a hurry.
Walking under the city wall, there is a moat, the river water is very clear, a pontoon bridge is erected on the moat, and there are two soldiers with waist knives standing at the gate of the city, which is very similar to the soldiers in the costume TV series. Above the city gate are three large official books: "Guangde County"
Guangde County? What kind of mess is this? I haven't heard of it, let's talk about it first.
Yang Qiuchi entered the city gate, and the two soldiers guarding the city did not stop him, did not even look at him, and only cared about the two of them laughing there.
The city is very lively, the streets are not wide, and there are many shops on both sides, hanging various signboards such as "Ruifuxiang", "Miaotedo", and "Lin Family Liquor Shop".
Yang Qiuchi is very novel, all the way to look around, walk forward along the street, not far away, cross a crossroads, see a building is very tall and majestic, covers a wide area, surrounded by red walls and green tiles. A three-bay black lacquer door, the two doors next to it are closed, only the middle is wide open, and there is a pair of stone lions at the door, which is majestic and majestic. Next to the gate stands a sign with the word "Announcement" written on it. What do you mean? I don't understand.
Next to the gate, there was a man with a waist knife and a soap coat standing there, looking like an official, and stepped forward to ask. Yang Qiuchi walked up the steps, hugged his fist to the man with the knife, and said in the tone of the ancients: "Dare to ask this eldest brother, what is this place?" ”
The man looked Yang Qiuchi up and down, snorted his nose, and burst out two words: "County government!" He turned his head away and ignored it.
County office? This is the yamen of Guangde County? Interesting! When I thought of the yamen, the official master in the TV series was afraid of being frightened, and the shots of the officials on both sides shouting "mighty" immediately came to mind. Check it out! Seeing that people kept coming in and out of the gate, the man with the knife didn't check it, and it seemed that he could enter and exit casually. Yang Qiuchi looked into the gate, and saw that a few people were pointing and looking around a photo wall, so he puffed up his chest and pretended to be casual and entered the gate, and came to the photo wall.
Facing the gate, the wall is made of finely ground bricks, and the top of the wall is covered with roof tiles. There are several notices posted on the wall, one of which reads: "Tian Dazhuang and Wang Xiaoshandian of the Tianjia Village who are on trial do not pay the deed tax when they buy the field house, but they do not pay the tax, the Tian Zhai pawn is unknown, and the lawsuits and prisons are endless." Now Wang Xiaoshan's heart is rampant, and he is cunning and deceitful. The non-tax deed wants to make the obscurity illegal; Do not accept the register, and the duplicate map conceals the poor grain. If you are a disciple of this game, it is advisable to sit on the law of the cane...... "Yang Qiuchi watched it for a long time, he didn't understand the ancient texts very well, and many of them were traditional characters, and he couldn't understand it, but from the last "one hundred rods", it seems to be a judgment made by a county lord to try a case, and at the end of the period is written "the second day of the ninth month of the seventh year of Yongle"
Seven years of Yongle? Yongle? "Yongle Ceremony"! Could it be that he traveled through time and space to the Ming Dynasty? Yang Qiuchi knew about the Yongle Canon, and the middle school history teacher said that Yongle was the name of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and he presided over the compilation of a large encyclopedia, named after his year name, called "Yongle Canon", which was the first encyclopedia in Chinese history.
Ming Dynasty, I returned to the Ming Dynasty? Yang Qiuchi's head was buzzing, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried. He didn't learn history well, and he tried to search in his mind for other related words that could be thought of in this dynasty: Zhu Yuanzhang! That ugly monster from beggar to emperor, Zheng He went to the West! I only know that Zheng He is a native of the Ming Dynasty and a eunuch, but I don't know if it is a person from the age of Ming Chengzu, by the way, there are also Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Xichang and other special agencies of the Ming Dynasty, and I can't remember anything else.
For Ming Chengzu, all Yang Qiuchi can think of is "Yongle Canon", and everything else is blank. It's over, you can't even predict the future! Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that he would come to the Ming Dynasty and take a good look at the history of the Ming Dynasty, then he would be able to predict the future and change history. Alas~! You can't blame the political axe for the bitter life!
At this time, a sudden scream came into his ears, breaking Yang Qiuchi's thoughts, and the sound seemed to come out from behind the wall. Yang Qiuchi turned to the back of the wall, and saw a large courtyard with a lot of people, a group of people lined up in the east, directly in front of a large hall, with half-high steps, is a rectangular platform made of stone, on a long stone bench on the left side of the platform is a middle-aged man, pants are taken off to the knees, a soap is holding the person's shoulders with both hands, and the other soap is holding a big board and crackling and hitting the person's buttocks, the man makes a pig-like cry, causing the crowd of onlookers in the courtyard to laugh.
Yang Qiuchi hurriedly ran over to see the excitement. There were many onlookers, and Yang Qiuchi could only stand far behind, tiptoeing and stretching his neck to look in. I saw two rows of soap shirts standing in the lobby, each holding a long red lacquer board. In the middle is a warm pavilion, there is a desk in front, behind the desk sits an old man wearing an official robe, with a white beard, the light in the hall is a little dim, and the old man's appearance is a little blurry, and it is not very real.
The man was beaten with a board, and his buttocks were bleeding, and he couldn't stand up. After the soap Li let go of the man, two young men in the crowd of onlookers bent down and went to the platform, tied the man's trousers, supported them on a door panel, and carried them away from the yamen.
A servant came out and pointed to the people waiting in line on the left, the two people in front of the line glared at each other, took a blank piece of paper in their hands, went to the platform and entered the hall respectively, bent down and gave the white paper to a scholar-like person on the side, and then knelt down in the middle of the hall, and after kowtowing to the white-bearded official, he stood up and took a few steps back, turned around and walked out of the hall, and came to the platform, one knelt on a big bluestone on the left, and the other knelt on the big bluestone on the right. It seems that these two people are the plaintiff and the defendant, and they have come to the lawsuit.
Yang Qiuchi listened to what the white-bearded official said, but he couldn't really hear it when he was far away. After listening to it for a while, it was boring, and my stomach growled, so I decided not to look at the excitement anymore, and go to fill my stomach first.
Yang Qiuchi turned around and walked out, and found that there was a brick carving on the wall behind the wall, which was an image of a monster, and the shape of this monster was a little like a unicorn, with a big mouth open, and there were a lot of gold and silver treasures around, and there was a round of red above the monster. I don't understand what this means.
Out of the gate, I looked back and looked again, and found that the walls on both sides of the gate were not straight, but inverted eight characters, in order to highlight the gate, I remembered that there is a saying called: "The yamen is open, and there is no reason to come in without money", it seems that the yamen is this inverted eight characters, interesting.
Walking out of the yamen, I saw a restaurant not far away, holding a big banner with the words: "Gao Peng Inn". Walking to the door of the inn, a shopkeeper wearing a melon skin hat and a white towel on his shoulder greeted him, and asked with a smile: "Guest officer, do you want to be a tip or stay in the hotel?" ”
Yang Qiuchi has heard this sentence a lot in the TV series, and he just left after eating, and of course he ate and lived in the hotel, so he said: "Of course it is the hotel!" ”
"Okay!" The shopkeeper turned around and shouted, "One guest officer in the hotel" and then bowed and said, "Guest officer, please go inside." ”
What a good attitude! Yang Qiuchi raised his feet and was about to walk inside, when he suddenly remembered that he was penniless, what would he eat and live? His face flushed, and he smiled reluctantly: "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring money." ”
