"Knock knock!"

At noon, the people of Cangshan County, after finishing a busy morning, were having lunch at their respective homes, when a dull drum suddenly sounded, like a thunderbolt suddenly sounded on a sunny day, breaking the noon tranquility of the entire county.

The people who were eating put down their rice bowls and took to the streets, looking around to see what was going on.

As soon as many people went out of the door, they saw many people in a hurry, not knowing what to do, and some good people grabbed their sleeves and inquired.

"It's terrible, the lady of the Zhang family on East Street, she went to the county government to complain again!"

"Ah, she's going to sue again? Didn't she get beaten twice a few days ago because of the complaint, and this injury healed, and she forgot about the pain? ”

"Who doesn't say it, this person, how can he fight with the official!"

"Hey, those bullies of the Fu family will not fall for a day, and we, the poor people, can only be bullied by these people! And the new Zhixian, I originally thought that I could be the same as Liu Zhixian, and I could give us a trace of clarity, who would have thought that he and the Fu family were a nest of snakes and rats, but it's a pity, Liu Zhixian is such a good official! This court just can't tolerate those good officials who do things for our people! ”

"Shhhh

"Then you ...... this?"

"Go and watch it, in case those dog officials have murderous intentions, it's better to pull a little!"

"That's right, let's go, let's go together!"

Conversations like this are being played out in many corners of the county.

The "Zhang Lady of Dongjie" in their mouths is the one who kowtowed in front of Bai Qing on the first day of his arrival and was beaten up by the county lieutenant Zhang.

When those people came to the gate of the county government one after another, they found that the surrounding area was already full of people standing on the inside and outside three floors, and almost everyone paid attention to the thin figure at the gate of the county government who was still beating the drum.

At this time, the lady of the Zhang family, with a stern expression, laboriously raised the heavy drumstick, hitting the huge road drum in front of the yamen, her face, can still vaguely see the purple marks that were beaten last time, and under her ragged clothes, revealing a delicate body, as if as long as a gust of wind blows, her figure will be crumbling.

But even so, almost all of them could see the stubborn look in her eyes, so they just watched silently, looking at this ill-fated woman.

"Who's beating the drum outside!"

A loud shout suddenly came from the county office, and then, a government servant in brand new clothes walked out of the county office, glanced around, and saw the Zhang family lady next to the road drum, first looked up and down, and then said to her: "Are you wronged?" ”

"It's the slave family!" The lady of the Zhang family said to the servant without humility or arrogance, "The slave family wants to sue!" ”

"Come in!" After hearing the words of the lady of the Zhang family, the official said lightly to the lady of the Zhang family, and then led her straight towards the county office.

And seeing the lady of the Zhang family entering the county government, those people also poured in, and soon, they arrived in front of the county government's Yimen.

Yimen is the tallest and most majestic door in the whole county government, standing on two floors of three steps, the blue wall and gray tiles, the black beam Zhu door, there are brass nails, enough to show its majesty and solemnity. Because the official mansions are all red lacquer gates, so the Zhumen has become synonymous with the official government, and has become a symbol of the feudal upper class.

Outside the door, spring is warm and rainy

The three-foot law in the case is scorching and frosty

This contrast contrasts the atmosphere inside and outside the yamen, and the "four seasons of spring" and "gentle wind and sweet rain" mean that the country and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If there is no "three-foot law in the case", "scorching sun and frost", and "eliminating violence and peace", how can the people live and work in peace and contentment?

However, when they saw that the instrument door with vermilion paint was unusually opened today, those people suddenly had some doubts in their hearts, what is the situation? You must know that the ceremonial door of the county government is to take the meaning of "the door of etiquette", which is the second door of the county government, according to Confucian ethics, people from all walks of life have their own positions, and the etiquette system is not sloppy at all. In the government office, the entrance court must also follow the "etiquette system", the door of the ceremony is usually closed, and can only be opened when the county magistrate takes office, welcomes the guests, celebrates important events or major cases, in order to show grandeur, but today, the door is actually opened......

However, seeing that the lady of the Zhang family, under the leadership of the servant, had already passed through the Yimen and went straight to the lobby, they also temporarily put aside the doubts in their hearts and followed them closely.

After the instrument door, and then go forward is the county government hall, first of all, in the middle of the eaves of the lobby, hang this plaque, on the book "Qinmin Hall" sits in the north and faces south, towering and majestic, in the building is the most magnificent in the whole county, in the function is also the most important, all the big cases, important cases, homicides in the county have to be tried here, the lobby is the hall of the five wings, the middle is the three halls, the pillars of the hall are hung with a couplet:

If you get an official, you will not be honored if you lose an official, and if you lose an official, you will not be humiliated, not to mention that an official is useless, and the place depends on an official

Eating the food of the people and wearing the clothes of the people, the people can deceive themselves and the people

"Don't say that an official is useless, the place depends on an official" The head of a county, although the official is not big, but after all, he is the parent official that the people rely on. Therefore, the merits of the county directly affect the survival of the people of Li and the rise and fall of the country. Therefore, whether it is the Great Qi Dynasty or the entire history of China, the imperial court of almost every dynasty attaches great importance to the appointment of county officials, and the appointment of officials has very strict regulations.

In the lobby, the central screen is painted with a picture of the rising sun of the landscape, the mountain is positive, the water is clear, and the sun is bright, that is, "honest and honest", which is similar to the plaque hanging above the palace pavilion "Mirror hanging", which means that the people of the county are fair and honest in handling cases. "The officials are not afraid of my strictness, but of my integrity, and the people do not obey my ability, but obey my father; The public will not dare to be slow, and the honest officials will not dare to bully." This is exactly the character and bearing that a magistrate should have.

The place in front of the screen is about one foot above the ground called "platform", and the space enclosed by four pillars on the platform is called "official pavilion", which is the place where the county is where the case is heard, because the official pavilion is ventilated on all sides, when the case is decided in winter, a stove is usually placed under the case on the stage for the county to be heated, so the official pavilion is also called "warm pavilion".

At this time, Bai Qingzheng was sitting behind the official case, and Zhang County Lieutenant was sitting behind a smaller book case next to him, both of them were wearing green official uniforms, Bai Qing's face was solemn, and Zhang County Lieutenant was a little uneasy.

The position opposite to Zhang County Lieutenant is a little lower, and there is a smaller bookcase, and behind the bookcase, there is Gu Qingfeng, who also has a solemn face.

On the official case in front of Bai Qing were placed the four treasures of the study, the order sign holder, the astonishing wood and other supplies for the promotion of the hall. There is a wooden frame next to the case, on which the official seal and the letter of appointment are placed, and the canopy of the official pavilion is painted with a picture of 36 cranes rising to the sun, symbolizing the unification of imperial power and the unification of the four seas.

As soon as those people walked to the lobby, there were a few officials with whistle sticks in their hands, blocking the people who came to watch the excitement outside, all of them looked expressionless, and many people recognized them.

However, at this time, they couldn't help but be suspicious in their hearts, because after Bai Qing saw the lady of the Zhang family standing below, he glanced at County Lieutenant Zhang and coughed lightly.

Originally, when Zhang Xianwei met Bai Qing today, when he heard what he said to him, he had a faint bad feeling in his heart, and with the experience of the previous experience, he knew very well that Bai Qing was definitely a person who planned and then acted, he couldn't say such things to himself meaninglessly, there must be some intention in it.

After eating lunch anxiously, as soon as he put down his rice bowl, he heard the sound of road drums being beaten, and his heart jumped suddenly, and when he went out of the room, he saw Bai Qing, who had changed into a green official uniform, and looked prepared.

As the county lieutenant of this county, it was his duty to try the case, and seeing that Bai Qing seemed to be waiting for him on purpose, he could only bite the bullet, change into an official uniform, and come to the lobby with Bai Qing.

Not long after he sat down, a familiar figure appeared in the eyes of Zhang County, after seeing her face clearly, Zhang County's eyelids suddenly couldn't help jumping, he subconsciously looked at Bai Qing secretly, and saw Bai Qing with an expressionless face, just looking at the front with a stern face, he suddenly understood something in his heart, closed his eyes, and sighed heavily in his heart, today's pass, I'm afraid it's not easy!

After hearing Bai Qing's cough, he subconsciously looked at Bai Qing again, just opposite Bai Qing's majestic appearance, his heart couldn't help but tremble, knowing that this was Bai Qing urging him, the matter had come to this, even if it was an abyss ahead, he could only rush up, take one step at a time, he secretly persuaded himself.

County Lieutenant Zhang straightened his face and shouted loudly to the lady of the Zhang family below: "Shengtang!" ”

"Who is kneeling down in the hall, and what grievances do you have to tell the county lieutenant!"

The voice of County Lieutenant Zhang sounded in her ears, the lady of the Zhang family raised her head, but she happened to meet Bai Qing's gaze, feeling the encouragement contained in the clear eyes of the other party, she took a deep breath, and then said to County Lieutenant Zhang: "Slave family, I want to sue my uncle Fuyi in this county!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the people below suddenly sounded an exclamation, and even if County Lieutenant Zhang had already known about her, he still couldn't help his eyelids flutter at this time, and secretly glanced at Bai Qing again, seeing that he was still indifferent, County Lieutenant Zhang could only sigh: "Is there a paper?" If you have one, you will present the certificate to the county lieutenant......"
