Early in the morning, Wanping County routinely lined up the office, and after the officials visited Fangzhi County, they saw the county honorable person holding a pamphlet to explain things one by one. Even though the affairs of the county government are very trivial, Fang Xianzun is clear and disorderly, and some old officials have to secretly praise a few words in their hearts, which is worthy of being the current branch of the Yuan!

When Fang Yingwu was arranging government affairs, he suddenly heard several drums of "dong dong dong" outside. Obviously, there was a drum beating outside the gate of the county government.

It is said that there is indeed a big drum at the entrance of the county government, and then many novelists and opera artists will come up with a lot of stories about beating drums and singing grievances, but they are all nonsense.

This drum is actually used in cases of human life and robbers, and when there are these two kinds of cases in the locality, neighbors or elders can come to beat the drum to report, get the opportunity to report the case directly to the county magistrate, and urge the county officials to go to the scene in person, so as not to delay the matter in the intermediate link.

In the law and judicial practice of the Ming Dynasty, great importance is attached to human life and robbery cases, which are completely different from other lawsuits, and are included in the performance evaluation items. This is the embodiment of Emperor Taizu Gao's ideology of governing the country, and then it became the ancestral system and passed down from generation to generation.

Of course, there are also "ignorant" people who run over to beat the drum for other things without authorization, which is also very easy to do, according to the rule, the first dozens of kills are talking about other things, so this drum can not be beaten randomly.

So when he heard the sound of the drum, Fang Yingwu's expression froze, and he guessed that there might be a case. Then he said to Zhang Gui: "You go outside the gate to ask about the situation!" ”

Mr. Zhang's team had to order him to go out to inquire, and he came back after a while, and reported with a relaxed expression: "Go back to the lord!" There weren't many cases out there. There was only one woman who cried out on her back with a toddler on her back! ”

Fang Yingwu waved his hand and said, "It's really nonsense!" The state-owned county has county rules, and she is told to come back to hand over the complaint on the day of the announcement. No pleadings today! Zhang Gui was ordered to go out again, and Fang Zhixian put down the matter. Continue to arrange government affairs.

Suddenly, there was another "dong dong" drum outside, and the officials in the public hall talked one after another: "If you are so hard, there must be strange injustices, otherwise you won't knowingly beat the drum continuously." ”

But I saw Zhang Gui running into the court with a wry smile, and replied again: "Master! The woman was very spicy, and shouted incessantly outside the door, which caused many passers-by to watch. ”

Fang Zhixian asked, "What did she shout?" Zhang Gui replied: "She said that the eldest lord is in vain, but he doesn't dare to take her example!" ”

Syllable! Fang Yingwu was furious. clapped the case and shouted: "What kind of bastard words are this, bring this Diao people to this official!" Then he cried out, "Wait! ”

After that, Fang Zhixian fell into deep thought, how could he dare to deliberately shout to offend Zhixian while complaining? Could it be that Diao Min deliberately provoked himself? If this is the case, I am afraid that the defendant is not simple, and the plaintiff cannot be forced to do so.

Zhang Gui saw that the county respected the county for a long time and asked cautiously: "Did you bring it in?" Please also show me. ”

Fang Yingwu thought about it, so he had to speak: "Bring it first!" ”

Now is the rising period of Fang Dazhi County's reputation and brand, which can be called a very important and critical time. You can't let Diao Min shout outside and let people who don't know the truth hear. I thought he was so dull.

Fang Yingwu waved his hand and let the officials disperse, leaving only the soap and the scribe on duty. After another moment, two servants came up with women beating drums outside.

Fang Yingwu raised his eyes to take a closer look, but saw that this woman had a dirty face and a thin face. I can't tell the age for a while. He was wearing a tattered jacket that didn't fit well, and he was carrying a package with a faint toddler inside.

Cough. Fang Zhixian took out his official authority and shouted: "You woman, you don't hesitate to show up and beat the drum without permission to complain." There is really a suspicion of causing trouble, and the left and right will be beaten with ten sticks as punishment! ”

At this time. The toddler behind the complaining woman cried out "wow", which resounded inside and outside the courtroom. The officials on both sides hesitated slightly, and did not move to look at Fang Yingwu.

Fang Zhixian frowned, and raised his hand helplessly: "That's it, I am ignorant of women and children, and these ten sticks will be sent for the time being." Who are you and what grievances do you have to sue? ”

The woman handed over the complaint and shouted loudly: "The people's woman He, I want to sue the uncle of the dynasty, and ask the eldest lord to make decisions for the people!" ”

Fang Zhixian didn't read the words when he heard this, and asked directly in disbelief: "Which country uncle?" He replied, "Tuesday sir! ”

Tuesday sir? Fang Yingwu knew who it was after a little thought, and he must have referred to Zhou Yu, the second brother of the Queen Mother, who is now the governor of the same country.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu secretly complained. Now that the Empress Dowager Zhou is still alive and quite protective, the Zhou family is in full swing. Boss Zhou has just been promoted from earl to marquis, although the second child does not have a title for the time being, but he can't be provoked by virtue of the identity of the queen mother's own brother, and in history, this second Zhou has also been promoted to earl.

Complaining about bitterness and complaining, Fang Zhixian unfolded the pleadings to read, and he read them carefully word by word.

Below, He Shi opened the conversation box and kept crying: "The people's woman lives ten miles outside Chaoyangmen, and there are thirty acres of arable land, but last year it was forcibly occupied by the lord on Tuesday, and the husband of the woman died as soon as he was ill, please be the master of Qingtian!" ”

Fang Yingwu thought about his words, threw down the complaint and said: "You are from Daxing County, and the land involved in this case is also in Daxing County, so you should go to Daxing County to file a lawsuit, and wouldn't it be the opposite to Wanping County?" This official forgives you for the crime of beating the drum without authorization, and go! ”

The woman of the He family shouted at the top of her voice: "The old man's words are unreasonable, the old man lives in Xicheng on Tuesday, which is the county border of Wanping County, why can't he go to Wanping County to complain?" Fang Yingwu snorted coldly and said angrily: "Messing around!" Stand back! ”

The He woman sat in the public court, wiping her tears and crying: "It's dark above the court, the so-called blue sky is just like that, people outside are blowing loudly, but they are all bastard officials!" ”

Fang Yingwu suddenly had two big heads, and secretly scolded that he was really a shrew! It's obviously a matter of Daxing County, but he wants to go to Wanping County to sue, do you think that he Fang Qingtian is easy to bully? Judging from her rhetoric, there is definitely someone behind this, otherwise how can a peasant woman who farms know how to answer like this?

If it is replaced by someone else to make trouble, it will be easy to solve, and if you beat the yamen with a mess, you will be directly imprisoned for the crime of disturbing the court.

But for a woman holding a young child, or even suspected of being an orphan and widow, Fang Zhi County is not so inhuman. I didn't have a good idea for a while, so I could only stare at the He woman for the time being.

The woman of the He family got up again, looked up to the sky and complained: "There is a huge official mansion, but there is no place to reason, where is the justice of heaven and earth? It's better to die! ”

With that, she slammed into the pillar with the toddler in her arms. Fortunately, there was a soap next to her who quickly pushed her, but she didn't hit the middle, but just rubbed the side of the pillar and rolled to the ground, and rubbed a bloody mark on her scalp.

No way! Fang Yingwu stood up in shock, this shrew really wants to die in the court because of the failure of the complaint, then he knows that the county is justified or not, this reputation is not good! So he hurriedly shouted: "Your case has been accepted by the official!" ”

The woman of the He family climbed from behind the pillar again, kowtowed, and said, "Please ask Lord Qingtian to be the master of the people's women, and the people's women are grateful!" ”

At this time, I really hate to hear the word "blue sky"! Fang Yingwu rubbed her forehead painfully, for fear that she wouldn't be able to think about it again, so she lowered her voice and persuaded with kind words: "You go home first and wait for the summons of the official." ”

The woman of the He family replied: "The people's women's family is ruined and there is nowhere to go back, so they are waiting in the corner of the wall outside the gate of the county government. ”

My day! Fang Yingwu gritted her teeth, this shrew has to shout outside the county yamen every day, and it is not easy to delay if she wants to. If it drags on for a few more days, maybe there will be some rumors again!

Of course, others can not care about rumors, but if other "Qingtian" doesn't care, then won't the previous efforts to build momentum be in vain?

As a person who aspires to be Qingtian, Fang Yingwu felt a little regretful for the first time, Qingtian's halo is not easy to wear, it is really difficult to ride a tiger at this moment!

When Lou Tianhua heard about this, the other party sighed: "It is not difficult for a person to be a clean official, but it is rare to be a clean official for a lifetime." This tricky woman must have someone to instruct, specifically looking for the proprietor to complain, otherwise every cry and trouble is the key point of the lord of the east, and have you ever heard of someone who carries a child to the court? (To be continued......)
