Chapter 11: Drumming and Grievances
Qin Shaoyou said coldly: "There is no porridge here." ”
Deng Jian couldn't help but be angry: "What, what do you want?" ”
Qin Shaoyou's face was complicated, he paused for a while before he said, "Don't be busy eating, I'll reason with you first." ”
Ahem...... It's really not that Qin Shaoyou is timid and afraid, he is not a bullish traverser, don't look at Qin Shou and the unknown young lady who looks menacing, that's because those people are either people with status, or they are scumbags, but Deng Jian is different, Deng Jian's origin is unknown, his social relations are complicated, and his face is eight feet thick, so it is better to treat such people differently.
Be reasonable, after all, there is no danger, and personal safety will not be involved.
Deng Jian's face softened and said, "At this time, what reason do you have to tell me?" You stinky scholar don't know anything, I came here early in the morning, I really think it's rare your two bowls of porridge? Stingy! ”
Qin Shaoyou was so angry that his nose was crooked, stingy? I owe a lot of foreign debts, you come here to cheat and cheat, but you say that I am stingy, where is the reason of heaven and where is the law of the king?
Deng Jian said slowly: "If you want to be reasonable, you should go to Chixian Yali to talk to that Liu Lushi later, what's the use of telling me?" To tell me the truth, I have a brother who works as an errand in the yali, saying that last night, someone from the Zhou family ran to find Liu Lushi, just half an hour ago, the people of the Zhou family have gone to the county government to sue you for not paying your debts, you wait and see, and soon there will be a messenger with a warrant to get you. When you go to court, you have to ask for theories. ”
Speaking of this, Deng Jian lowered his voice and continued: "To tell you the truth, Liu Lushi, who is sitting in the hall, has a lot to do with the Zhou family, and the Zhou family is said to have an IOU, once the facts are confirmed, although this debt is just a small crime, but if it is more serious, it is enough to deal with the lawlessness of the people, even if it is exiled, Brother Qin, you are too bad, worse than me, I owe people silver, and I still know how to pay it back, you ......"
"Phew...... Do you know how to cheat and eat and drink, and you can owe money to anyone? Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but sneer, but he also knew that Deng Jian was kind, so he had to hold his head and say, "In this way, things are very bad." If you can't escape today, not only will the restaurant be gone, but you may also be imprisoned. ”
Deng Jian said with a smile: "It's okay, it's a big deal to lock it in, I have a few brothers in it, spread the news, someone will always take care of you, who taught me to be righteous Bo Yuntian, cough cough...... First serve two bowls of porridge, then two cooking cakes. ”
Qin Shaoyou turned his mouth aside: "Since you know that I owe a lot of debt, you still can't bear to eat my porridge?" Brother Deng, you are looking for the wrongs elsewhere, let's be reasonable, you heroes like you should eat a hundred family meals, right? But pick my family to eat, what a cruel thing this is, the truth of fishing with all your might, I think you understand, there is a Qiushui Building on the left next door, and the shopkeeper looks like it's also very easy to bully? ”
Deng Jian was angry, and said with a cold face: "It's really stingy, I'll go somewhere else." ”
Qin Shaoyou had no choice but to say: "Slow, let's eat, hurry up, I still have to fight a lawsuit, and I will close the door later." ”
He was no longer interested in paying attention to Deng Jian, so he was busy going to the back kitchen to find Qin Shou, and instructed him: "Go and remove the plaque, let's prepare for a lawsuit." ”
………………
Sure enough, just half a pillar of incense was not enough, and an errand from Chixian County came.
The so-called Chi County is the name of Gyeonggi County, there are two counties under the rule of Shendu, one is Henan County, the other is Luoyang County, Qin Shaoyou's household registration belongs to Luoyang County, so it is Luoyang County Errand Officer.
As for the magistrate who issued the warrant, in Datang, there was no magistrate in the county, but this Luoyang County was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, so there were two magistrates to assist the county order and the county officer, and the person in charge was the criminal name, in fact, their official position was not high, but it was only eight grades, but for ordinary people, it was enough to determine life and death.
If this magistrate really has a lot to do with the Zhou family, then it will not be easy to be reasonable.
When this errand came, his nostrils were facing the sky, and he was about to take Qin Shaoyou and leave, when Deng Jian came up and greeted him with a smile. When the officer saw him, he smiled and said, "Brother Deng is also there?" ”
has always been a family of officials and bandits, how could the officers of Luoyang County not recognize Deng Jian? And it looks quite familiar.
Deng Jian hurriedly said: "You don't have to ask for it, you don't need to ask for it, this is a scholar, usually the most benevolent, they are all their own family, are you still afraid of running away?" ”
The errand officer was also happy, but he just glanced at Qin Shaoyou coldly: "Official affairs are official affairs, and private feelings are private affairs, since Deng Ge'er said intercession, it is easy to say, but when he arrives in the county, hehe...... But there is no such smooth favor. ”
Qin Shao politely saluted the messenger and said, "The kindness of the messenger, Qin remembers it in his heart, and when he arrives in the Yali, whether he lives or dies, it is Qin's own business." ”
"Okay, please." This guy is quite knowledgeable, and after a few words of greeting with Deng Jian, the messenger took Qin Shaoyou and moved away.
……………………
The trial of Qin Shaoyou's case is only in the side court, after all, it is only a dispute over owing money to people, although it is enough to judge the crime, but it is still not enough to work for the county magistrate of Chixian County to try it himself, and it is generally the magistrate who is responsible.
Liu Tui is responsible for the many neighborhood disputes at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he wears a gauze hat and a light cyan robe, showing that his level is outrageously low, but although he is only an official of sesame mung beans, especially in this god capital, I am afraid that even ants are inferior, but he seems to be very rich, a pampered appearance, don't look at the small official, this is fat, if he encounters a big case, although he is not even qualified to try it, but big cases often have to be submitted to the Criminal Department for review, and even important people are involved, There is no room for maneuver at all, if you want to do something from it, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, let alone oil and water, once it involves something that should not be involved, maybe the catastrophe will come.
It is very difficult to overturn a big case like murder, and if it cannot be handled impartially at the feet of the Son of Heaven, a dereliction of duty may be taken from the black yarn. On the other hand, Liu Tui's judgments are all small civil cases, which seem to be unimportant, but in fact, the oil and water here are the most lucrative, and there will never be any trouble.
It is because of this Liu Tui's heart and fat body, although he only has a copper belt tied around his waist, and he is not even qualified to hang a fish bag, he has never complained.
Zhou Wen, who is standing on the lower side, is Liu Tuishi's old 'patron', usually has occasional personal friends, and occasionally Liu Tuishi is also willing to do some small things for the Zhou family, in exchange for the Zhou family's New Year's festival 'festival respect'.
Liu Tuishi squinted his eyes and put on an unfathomable look, he had already looked at the paper, knocked on the case with his fingers very magnificently, knelt on the futon, and muttered for a moment before he said: "A little nerd, is it also Lao Zunjia to sue in person?" It's just an ordinary money dispute, and the evidence is conclusive, so you don't have to go through so much trouble. ”
Zhou Wen smiled and hurriedly saluted: "This Qin Shaoyou is the most rude, he owes money on credit, but he is brazen and denies it in every way, but he is angry and only asks for justice." ”
Liu Tuishi was unmoved, he was deliberating on Zhou Wen's extraneous meaning. So he pretended to nod indifferently: "In addition to making it sell its property to pay off its debts." It seems that the people should be taught a good lesson and set an example. ”
Liu Tui Shi paused, and glanced at Zhou Wen with a smile: "It's just that there is always a severity of the punishment." ”
Zhou Wen stroked his beard, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "It's always good to be heavier." ”
Liu Tuishi nodded and said lightly: "Then break your foot." ”
It's just this understatement, a person's fate is also decided, debts are not repaid, there is no need to punish severely, at most it is just a little punishment, but this Yali has its own unspoken rules, just one look, a little means when the punishment is used, can ruin a person's life.
Zhou Wen smiled, arched his hand and said, "Lord Xie." ”
Liu Tuishi smiled faintly: "Why bother to thank you for your efforts." ”
…………………………
Qin Shaoyou has arrived at the county office, the county government covers a large area, close to the West City, so there is a lot of people, but this county government looks a little dilapidated.
Reason, you know.
There are hundreds of yamen in Shendu, and any yamen is much higher than the level of Luoyang County's yamen, according to some rules that cannot be said and can only be understood, if the county yamen seems to be very high-level, it will inevitably be overdue.
The official who held him in trouble Deng Jian's face, and he didn't feel embarrassed to Qin Shaoyou, but when he arrived at the yamen, he said calmly: "I'll go and hand over the detention card." You are waiting here, and it is a felony to dare to escape, and I will take you in later. ”
Qin Shaoyou said harmlessly: "Okay, I'll wait here honestly." ”
The errand officer inevitably said hello to a few colleagues at the door, asked them to look at Qin Shaoyou, and then went in to resume his life.
As soon as the others left, Qin Shaoyou rushed to the drum of grievances on the side of the ya.
This drum of grievances has been heard since ancient times, but Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, in order to facilitate the people's complaints, specially issued a holy decree, ordering that the doors of government offices at all levels must be placed with a drum and a bell, and stipulate that when the bell and drum ring, the officials must go to the court, so as to show the convenience of the people and the virtue of government.
Of course, Qin Shaoyou's action frightened a few officers at the door, you must know that this drum beating is often a big case, which seriously affects the harmony at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if there is a strange injustice under the rule of Luoyang County, this is a matter that seriously affects the official reputation, and a few people don't have time to think about it before they catch up.
As for Qin Shaoyou, he had already arrived in front of the drum, he was about to hit the drum with a hammer, but he couldn't help but groan, his mother's drumstick was not there.
Thinking about it, this is to prevent people from 'causing trouble'.
And at this time, several messengers have approached, this big drum is tightened with cowhide, simply with hands, it is determined not to knock, Qin Shaoyou was anxious, directly picked up a stone, and some messengers have stopped him from behind and hugged him, shouting: "Boldly Diao Min......"
Qin Shaoyou was in a hurry, and directly raised his arm and smashed the stone in his hand towards the drum of injustice.
"Knock ......"
Succeed with flying colors.
Qin Shaoyou's back was loosened, and the servants who were holding him behind him let go, and their expressions became cold.
The sound of the drum means that there is a case that has to be solved in Luoyang County, and even today's trial is very likely to be recorded in the county annals, and if it is more serious, it may even reach the heavens, and the palace, Taiwan, procuratorate, and criminal department of the court will all be interrogated.
This guy is crazy!
