The Great Zhou Dynasty's yamen has the existence of a drum of grievances outside any of the yamen, although it is said that the drum of grievances has existed since ancient times, but when the Taizu of the Dynasty strengthened the existence of the drum, it is stipulated in the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty that those who beat the drum and do not accept the grievances will be guilty of bullying the king.

Therefore, although Emperor Taizu has been dead for more than 100 years, this decree has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At this time, the person holding the drumstick in front of the yamen was Fang Bei.

A drum sounded, staggered, and after a while, I saw a soap-clothed man in the yamen hurriedly walking out, looking up and down at the drummer: "Do you have grievances?" ”

"Report to your lordship, I have no grievances." Fang Bei said quietly.

The public laughed very angrily, after all, in the past two days, the Yamen has been tossed by Guo Sheng, and everyone has a belly of fire, after all, every day you sing Guan Gongci Cao, few people can stand it: "What drum do you beat if you are not wronged?" ”

"Go quickly, go quickly, don't be careful, we'll catch you and hit the board."

Fang Bei smiled: "Although I have no grievances, I have a case to report." ”

"You go to the magistrate to report the case, and then you go to the prefect's yamen." The public was very unhappy: "This is the yamen according to the inspection, do you understand?" ”

Ordinary people actually don't understand.

According to the procuratorate, the yamen is probably equivalent to the combination of the provincial high court and the provincial procuratorate, although theoretically it also accepts cases, but it is all big and important cases, where will it deal with the trivial matters of the ordinary people.

"You don't have to be afraid if I say it." Fang Bei looked at the public and said quietly: "I was robbed on the way to Bianliang in Los Angeles. ”

The public looked at the neurotic eyes: "Can you still come here to report the crime if you are robbed?" ”

"Then someone killed all the thieves, blood in one place, and corpses in another."

"I can't see it, so I'll hurry up and report the case."

"After all, human lives are at stake, dozens of lives."

Fang Bei described it to the public in a colorful way.

The duke was taken aback.

"Hurry up and come in with me!"

As a familiar official who has been on an errand for many years, he clearly knows that if what Fang Bei said is true, then what it means.

……

……

So the church was soon raised.

In a majestic voice, Fang Bei walked to the center of the lobby.

Still standing.

This is the lobby of the Yamen, which is not facing the street like an ordinary county office, and there can be crowds of people who do not know the truth outside to watch the excitement.

He's really the only one here, because normally speaking, drumming isn't here to complain.

Or if he hadn't known that Guo Sheng had come here, Fang Bei would definitely not have come here to join in the fun.

Zhao Hengji looked at Fang Bei under the hall and frowned quietly: "Who is standing in the hall?" Is there any fame? Why don't you kneel down to the officer? ”

Yes, why not kneel to the officer?

This is also why most people in the rivers and lakes are reluctant to participate in court disputes, and even look down on those who practice martial arts who are willing to be the eagle dogs of the court.

Originally, he wandered the rivers and lakes, and what he pursued was freedom, where is there a reason to kneel down to people at every turn? Those warriors who serve the imperial court, no matter how high their martial arts are, when they encounter officials of higher rank than themselves, they must bow respectfully, after all, as long as they are in the imperial court system, they must obey the rules of the imperial court.

There are only a few cases in which kneeling can be dispensed with, although none of these cases are currently available.

The most common is that you have a meritorious reputation, you don't need to be too high, as long as you take a show, then you don't need to kneel.

In other ways, although it may be a little difficult to Jinshi, Xiucai is definitely handy.

Why not, to put it bluntly, there is no time.

After all, it took a lifetime of study in the previous life to defeat the strong enemy of the college entrance examination, if it can't be easier in this life, then what's the use of being reborn.

After seeing the subtleties of martial arts, it is a bit difficult to follow Sister Ping and only read the books of sages.

"Not really." Fang Bei bowed to Zhao Hengji: "According to the law of the Great Zhou, if the people have not committed a crime, then the officials do not need to kneel, they only need to bow and salute." ”

There is indeed such a law on the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was also formulated by the grandfather of the dynasty, but in actual practice, there are not many people who follow it, after all, where do ordinary people remember such a thick book of the Great Zhou Law, and when they see the county master, they all kneel down with a bang, and if others kneel, you can't kneel?

In fact, many officials have not read the Great Zhou Law, and even if someone has read it, they will not stand up and take the initiative to explain that according to the Great Zhou Law, the people do not need to kneel down according to the Great Zhou Law, after all, the so-called parent official, parent official, since they are already parents, then the heaven and earth are the teachers, and the heavens and the earth kneel to the parents, right?

At all costs?

It's definitely better to look at kneeling on the ground than to bow.

You stomp you are also numb, it is really addictive.

But don't take the initiative to mention it now, Zhao Hengji was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the faint young man who looked delicate and clean: "Then what grievances do you have?" ”

"I'm not wronged." Fang Bei said quietly.

Zhao Hengji was a little angry: "What are you doing beating the drum and singing grievances without being wronged?" If you entertain the officer, then the officer will reward you with ten boards and throw them out the door. ”

"Who said that drumming is a grievance?" Fang Bei asked rhetorically: "Isn't drumming a means to report to the official?" ”

"I'm here to report to the official."

"Reporter?" Zhao Hengji was stunned for a moment: "Come to me to report to the official?" ”

"Yes." Fang Bei looked at Zhao Hengji and nodded, and did not continue to sell Guanzi: "The villain went to Bianliang from Luocheng and was intercepted by bandits on the official road......

"It's bandits again." Zhao Hengji muttered, and then looked at Fang Bei incredulously: "Then how did you escape?" ”

In the previous situation, even the people and horses were killed, and the goods were all plundered, where would there be a good thing to survive?

You kid burned high incense, you know? Is this not enough?

"The villain didn't run away." Fang Bei looked at Zhao Hengji and said.

"You didn't run away?" Zhao Hengji was taken aback.

"Yes, there was no escape." Fang Bei said lightly: "Among the villain's companions, there is a woman with strong martial arts, she took a righteous action and killed those thieves cleanly, and the corpses were piled up on the official road, a total of fifty-four. ”

"The villain was afraid, so after coming to Bianliang City, I asked where the biggest official in Bianliang City was, and others showed me the way, so I came here to report to the official."

Fang Don't say half-truths, but Zhao Hengji didn't take it to heart, the point he paid attention to was that those bandits were all dead!

And it was killed by a woman.

"Hugh is nonsense!" Zhao Hengji opened his mouth and reprimanded: "Who is that woman?" ”

"She said her name was Shang Jiuge." Don't speak.

Zhao Hengji believed it instantly.
