Chapter 486: Drumming and Grievances
There are many local traders who take advantage of this rouge conference to make money, this is a good opportunity, it will take several years to get to Yunzhou, it is definitely not to be missed.
"How can I hear the sound of drums beating not far away, is there someone performing a show?" A pedestrian on the street asked.
The vendor who sold things was busy packing for the customers, and he didn't listen carefully, and replied casually, "Maybe it's because the city is very busy these days, and there is a night market open at night!" ”
The more the guests listened, the more they felt that something was wrong, this sound was not the usual performances, rhythmic drumming, this time the sound was almost not rhythmic, but heavier than the next, as if mixed with resentment.
The others also felt that something was wrong, and at this time, a few children came running from not far away, which was the age when people hated dogs, and they couldn't control it at home, so they just wandered around the street when they had nothing to do.
"Someone in the county government is beating a drum and crying out grievances, come and see!" A child shouted at the top of his voice.
Not all the pedestrians on the street are busy, especially at this time, when new things happen every day, and some of the good deeds go to the street where the county government is located.
When I got there, I saw a woman beating a drum and shouting grievances, she was in a graceful posture, and she looked good from the back, but she was wearing rag clothes, and it seemed that she should have begged for it.
The woman beat the big drum at the entrance of the county government again and again, and the officials standing at the door had no one to help, and no one to stop them, this is the rule of the yamen, if someone beats the drum and complains about the grievances, she must be allowed to knock a hundred times.
I don't know who gave this rule, and it's not fair to think about it, but it's been extended for so many years, and everyone can only follow it.
"Good guy, this little woman probably can't help it, look at her thin appearance, can she knock a hundred times?" The pedestrians on the road were a little worried about the woman.
But the chatter on the street did not hinder the woman's firm heart, she glanced behind her, more and more people gathered, Miss Tang told her that as long as today's pass this level, everything is over, and she must be allowed to do it herself, so that this matter can have a happy ending.
This woman is Chu Yanran, she agreed after listening to Tang Chu's words, in fact, there is nothing to refuse, this was originally her wish, with the help of the Tang family, the success rate of this matter can be higher.
After half the time of the incense, the door of the yamen opened, and someone helped the woman who was out of strength to enter the lobby.
Later, it was announced that the public would be allowed to enter and watch, but only for 50 people.
This made the people on the street excited, and everyone guessed who the woman was going to sue, which was first-hand news.
So, in front of the yamen in Yunzhou, there was a crowd of people, and everyone rushed to go in to see the trial.
Chu Yanran knelt under the hall, wearing tattered clothes, at this time Miss Tang had already changed her identity, no longer a Qinglou woman, but a beggar, begging outside, and went around and returned to Yunzhou.
"Who's in the hall?" Liu Xianling sat on the right seat and asked expressionlessly.
Today, the Tang Mansion has sent a message to him, this is an opportunity to bring down Master Li, he has been waiting for this opportunity for several years, but he didn't expect that someone would send this opportunity to him before leaving, but it is really happy!
"The little woman's name is Chu Yanran, and she is the daughter of Chu Juren outside the city!" She replied softly.
As soon as this identity was revealed, many people were surprised.
The name Chu Juren is not unfamiliar to everyone, many people still remember the more famous, could not give birth to a son, and later died mysteriously, in the days of his condolence meeting, when all the clansmen gathered together, an even more bizarre fire burned everyone to death, and almost no one escaped.
"Since you said that you are the daughter of Chu Juren, what evidence is there?" Liu Xianling asked.
The people below also said the way of thinking of the county magistrate, yes, this woman can't say what her identity is.
Chu Yanran raised her head and replied with a smile, "My lord, I have a jade bracelet unique to the Chu family. ”
As she spoke, she took out a wrapped jade bracelet from her body, and she didn't leave it even when it was most dangerous, because it was the only thing that could prove her identity, and it was also the object that recorded her blood feud.
"My name is engraved on it, and every sister in the family has this jade bracelet." Chu Yanran explained.
The jade bracelet was presented to Liu County Order by the official officer, and Liu County Order put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, there was a carved name inside.
"Chu Yanran." She muttered.
"Yes, it's true, it seems that you are undoubtedly the Chu family!" Liu Xianling said affirmatively.
The county magistrate made a decision in one sentence, and few other ordinary people questioned it, since the adults didn't say anything, they just watched the excitement.
"Okay, then you beat the drum and sound the grievances, but what grievances do you have to say?" This sentence can be regarded as the beginning of the main topic of today's case.
"My lord, our family was originally a wealthy family because of my father, but no one thought that no one would design it, my father died mysteriously, and the clansmen were burned to death by a fire during this period, and the folk girl was pushed out by other sisters to survive!" Chu Yanran said, tears flowed out of her eyes.
This is a sincere outpouring of true feelings without a little falsehood, her identity is true, and the blood feud is also true, and the mistakes committed by the Yang family and Master Li are still true, she doesn't believe that in the face of such ironclad evidence, these two families can still escape responsibility.
Looking at Liu Xianling, who was sitting in the first place, although his expression was serious, the light in his eyes was enough to prove that he was also looking forward to the next trial.
He was respectful but not afraid of the county magistrate who was seated, because she knew that this lord had already connected with Miss Tang, and everything could go according to plan.
Therefore, what really scared her was Tang Chu, the person who could control the overall situation without showing up.
The interrogation proceeded little by little, and Chu Yanran also told the truth that the Chu family was buried in the fire.
At this moment, the crowd watching the excitement at the door was in an uproar.
Many people know that the Yang family and Master Li have done evil in Yunzhou, but it is still a bit sensational to be able to do a tragedy that makes a family annihilated.
"Oh my God! I knew that Master Yang's death was not coincidentally split by thunder, and the Yang family also refuted the rumors, so let's not speculate, Master Yang died of a sudden illness, and now it seems that the rumors are not true! ”
