"Don't take it as an example." Tao Qini looked at Zheng Tong expressionlessly and said.

It is said that the seven-rank official at the prime minister's door, she understands that Zheng Tong and their family are in the city of Tokyo, how can they say that they are from the official family, and they look down on small places, but they can't say it directly! Especially on other people's turf.

"Not anymore, never again." Zheng Tong said busily.

While talking, they walked outside the county office, there were not too many people, they walked in, picked a good place, the view was very good, and the situation in the hall was clear at a glance.

In fact, there are not so many people who come to see the trial, after all, most people are running around for a living, and they don't have that time to spare, and it is not related to themselves.

Tao Qini looked at the somewhat dilapidated county office, which should be very neat, stronger than Tokyo City in the Central Plains, and much more magnificent.

In the middle of the lobby hangs the gold-lettered plaque of "Neishan County Main Hall", under the plaque is the warm pavilion of the county trial, and the front of the pavilion stands a sea-facing screen, and hangs the gold-lettered plaque of "Mingjing High Hanging".

The three-foot law table is placed on the wooden high platform in the warm pavilion, the table is placed with the four treasures of the study room and the arrow barrel, and a Taishi chair is placed behind the table, which is the arrow frame on the left, and there is a black folding fan on the right. There are two bluestones on the left and right sides in front of the warm pavilion, the left is the plaintiff's seat, and the right is the defendant's seat.

Don't look at it as just a small county office, revealing officialdom culture everywhere.

"What are you looking at?" Yao Changsheng looked at Tao Qini's big eyes and turned.

"Half official culture." Tao Qini glanced at him and whispered.

Yao Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and smiled, "Not Lizhou County, not Taiwan Province." ”

The meaning of this sentence is: Without the experience of serving in the local state and county, there is no qualification to serve as the provincial official of the central government.

This is the principle of electing officials proposed by Zhang Jiuling in the Tang Dynasty in the third year of Tang Kaiyuan. Prefectures and counties refer to local officials, and Taiwan provinces refer to central officials.

"What do you mean?" Tao Liuyi looked at the two of them and whispered, "You two are talking, why can't I understand it." ”

"Let's go back, this is not the place to talk." Tao Qini lowered her voice and looked at them and said.

Waited for about a cup of tea, knock knock...... The drums sounded, and the officials on the left and right sides shouted in unison: Mighty ascension.

The civil official has a military appearance, he has a big belly, he can eat and drink, and he looks like he has fattened himself!

Tao Qini looked at the couplets in the hall: It is not honorable to gain an official, it is not disgraceful to lose an official, don't say that an official is not used, the place depends on an official;

Eat the people's food and wear the people's clothes, the people can be bullied, and they are also the people.

This posture is not like the people, he is really a county lord with a character, he doesn't wear a black gauze hat or a round neck, I don't know if he thinks it's on his own kang!

The county magistrate was snorted, and he was shocked, "Take the prisoner to the court." "The fat body leaned back in the chair, and the chair creaked a little scary.

The official brought the prisoner to the hall, and the county magistrate slapped the startled wood in his hand and asked aloud, "Who is kneeling?" Registered? What have you done? ”

"My surname is Li, my name is Li San, there is an old lady in the family, my family is too poor, the poor can't open the pot, I can't go to steal the chicken in the middle of the night, but the chicken crows, and the main family is brought in, so I am sent to prison, and I have not been convicted!"

The facts are stated simply and clearly.

"Hmm!" The county magistrate squinted his eyes and looked at him and said, "You are so stupid! Remember, next time remember to steal chickens, steal during the day. He looked at the master and said, "Someone will give him a tael of silver and let him go home!" ”

"Up......roar" The people who heard the trial in the hall were in an uproar, they were not guilty of stealing chickens, and they returned the silver, and this good thing.

Li San was dumbfounded, sitting in the hall with his ass, he couldn't believe his ears.

The master hurriedly got up from the table and walked to the county master in three or two steps, "My lord, it's not appropriate to deal with it like this!" ”

"What's wrong with it?" The county magistrate squinted at him.

"He stole the chickens, gave him back the money, and let the people go, which is not written in the statute. My lord, I can't write this paperwork! The master looked at the county master with a sad face and said.

If he hasn't been promoted to the church in the past two years, he has been promoted to the church and has given him such a big problem, so it's better not to be tried!

"You know what? Do you have the final say, or do I have the final say? The county master glanced at him and said, "Am I the county master or are you the county master." ”

The master nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course, you have the final say." ”

"That's what I'll say." The county magistrate snorted coldly, and turned his gaze to the lower hall, "Go down." ”

"Yes!" The official stepped forward and looked at the frightened Li Sandao, "Hey! Get up! Why don't you hurry up and leave, what are you still doing in a daze? ”

"No, I'm ......," Li San said as he looked at the two of them in a panic.

"I want to be thrown in for another two years, why don't you hurry up and thank you, master, let's go!" The official looked at him and urged.

Li San kowtowed stupidly and said, "Thank you, Lord Qingtian." With a smirk on his face, he walked out of the yamen and walked away.

The servants looked at each other, what else could be done, the master had the final say.

With such a trial, Tao Qini was speechless.

"Niel?" Tao Liuyi looked at Tao Qini and whispered.

"Shhhh......h Pointing to the lobby, another sloppy man was brought in.

Shackled and mopped the floor, jingled bells, walked to the center of the lobby, and knelt down.

The county magistrate squinted at him and said, "Who is kneeling?" What did you commit? ”

"Back to the master, I have a kowtow brother, the two of us are very good, my sister-in-law is very handsome, I often come to his house, and I hook up with my sister-in-law when I pass through the house. Later, we wanted to be husband and wife for a long time, so we thought about drugged my brother to death, and put medicine in the meal, but I didn't know that my kowtow brother found out, so he sent me to the yamen. The previous magistrate sentenced me to six years. Well! I've been here for three years. His tone was a little complaining, he could hear outside the hall that the chicken thief could be found not guilty, and he got a tael of silver, he didn't do anything, and he couldn't say that he could be fine.

"Oh! That's a six-year sentence! The county magistrate looked at him and beckoned, "Come here, come here." ”

Hearing this, he got up and trotted to the desk, "Master! I'm wronged! ”

"Unjust?" The county magistrate stretched out his hand under the table, took out the shiny copper hammer, the brass nest melon hammer, and smashed it towards his head with a hammer, only to see blood splashed everywhere, blood hulacha, looking at the blood on the copper hammer, pouting in disgust, "It's really dirty and I still wash it." ”

He fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, with a lot of air and little air intake, and in a short time he was gone.

Such a violent and bloody scene not only frightened the officials in the hall stupid, but also frightened the people who heard the trial.

And the county master took the paper on the table and calmly wiped the blood on the copper hammer and threw it on his body.

"Master, how did you kill someone?" The master stood in front of the table and looked at him, and said in a panic.
