Song Ning paid a private visit to Longxingda in civilian clothes.

The vermilion painted door and the large gilded plaque are much more generous than the torture hall.

And this gate is also facing Chaofeng Street, which is better than the location of the government, and it is estimated that it is the middle of the city of Jinan.

"You want to go in?" Song Yuanshi asked her.

Song Ning bowed his head: "If you come, you will definitely enter." ”

Saying that, he took the lead in entering the door of Long Xingda, and Song Yuanshi followed behind her.

Beyond the door, there is a spacious main hall, the roof of the main hall is equipped with bright tile glass, and the inside is clean and transparent.

In the middle is a table and a set of chairs, and below this is eight chairs on the left and right, with a distance of seven or eight feet in between.

On either side of such a strange array, the left wall is a bookshelf with countless scrolls, and the right wall is a table, chair, and tea set.

It's like an interrogation or a private court.

"This should be a private case." Song Yuanshi explained to her, "There is such a dart bureau in the people, and the case is tried clearly after robbing the work of the yamen, and then handed over to the government government by the undertaker." ”

"The government is in trouble." Song Ning said.

This mainly stems from the late Taizu period, because the livelihood of the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty was unstable, and all kinds of cases emerged one after another, one did not disappear and two appeared. However, the yamen was unable to recruit more fast arresters and errand servants, so the way of paid case handling was derived, and in some places the yamen paid for it, and in some places it was the bitter master who paid for it. ”

"But even so, some state capitals still have too many cases backlog, so another business of the dart bureau came into being."

"But this is the first time I've seen a game of darts on a scale like this."

Song Ning looked at the small "court" and frowned.

Once the authority to use the law is infinitely relaxed, trampled on, and devoid of solemnity and prudence, then the government is not far from chaos.

"Are you two here to report the crime, or are you here to accuse?" A dart master in a green coat stepped forward and said, "If you want to report a case or a big case, go to the third room on the right, where you will undertake a big case." ”

"If you are looking for someone or something to have a dispute with your neighbors, you two will go to the left."

Song Ning thanked him and went to the back.

The dart master didn't pay much attention to them, and went about to get busy.

Walking through the verandah, the dart master you see on the road is divided into two colors, one is green and the other is blue.

All of them are young and cheerful, laugh when they see people, and have an excellent service attitude.

"It's so nice for young people to laugh, isn't it?" Song Ning walked with his hands in his hands, and said to Song Yuanshi.

"You're not a young man?" Song Yuanshi asked him rhetorically.

"I can't see my own." Song Ning turned back to him and said, "You have nothing to do and smile more, I've seen a lot." ”

Song Yuanshi said helplessly: "You are serious." ”

"Adjust it, lest I start beating people in a while." Song Ning said.

"They're not going to give you a chance."

All the people passing by were smiling, not to mention fighting, I'm afraid I can't quarrel if I want to.

Song Ning sighed, such a place like a spring breeze, if she was the bitter master, she would also be willing to come.

Compared with the cold and high of the yamen, of course, it is a home away from home.

When I arrived at the horizontal verandah, I saw one after another porch houses.

There is a nameplate hanging on the porch.

Case.

Lost & Found.

Neighborhood.

Thief.

Counting all the way, it was very detailed, and there were four or five people sitting in each room, some talking to today's customers, and some taking advantage of their free time to record files.

In short, a row of past, both popular and vibrant.

"There's no comparison." Song Ning looked at Song Yuan with his hands and said.

"Gave up?" Song Yuanshi looked at her.

Song Ning waved his hand: "No matter how difficult it is, we always have to go, it's better than our beheading." As soon as she finished speaking, suddenly a woman's cry came from the front yard, crying out that she had been wronged.

Someone said: "Who doesn't cry out for the people who come here?" ”

"Don't do anything if you feel wronged."

The female voice cried, "I really didn't kill my husband. ”

"It's useless if you don't kill, the evidence and murder weapon are conclusive."

As he spoke, the man walked away.

Song Ning was about to go over, when suddenly someone behind him coughed, and looked at Song Ning and Song Yuanshi's faces: "Isn't it the new Song Tuiguan?" ”

"You are?" Song Ning looked at the other party, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, tall and strong, with a big nose and square chin, and his appearance looked very honest.

"In next Zhoujiang, it is the third master of Longxingda, greet Lord Song." Zhou Jiang was very generous, and he didn't hide it at all, "My lord just arrived in Jinan, so he came to Longxingda to learn from him?" ”

Learn? Song Ning raised his eyebrows: "There are so many people here every day?" ”

Zhou Jiang said: "No, there are fewer people today." He added, "My lord, I still have to investigate the case, if you are curious, feel free to visit." ”

He crossed his hands and left.

"Arrogant, I don't know and I think it's a colleague." Song Ning looked at Zhou Jiang's back, and Song Yuanshi said, "This should still be restrained, he probably wants to be polite to you." ”

Courtesy to her, Song Ning was laughed at angrily.

"Gone." She flicked her sleeves forward, and the verandah was halfway through when there was a burst of laughter behind her, and then the laughter was contagious, and turned into laughter.

She stopped, looked at the various people standing at the door of the porch behind her, and smiled.

"The newcomer is different, don't you think you can reorganize the torture hall?" Someone speaks, arrogant and confident.

"Don't say that, just came, after all, you don't know the height of the sky."

"Haha." Everyone laughed non-stop, and some people shouted, "Do things, are you idle?" ”

The person who spoke was very similar to Zhou Jiang, looking at his age, he should be the second Zhou He, after he scolded everyone, he looked at Song Ning with an expressionless face, smiled disdainfully, and turned to leave.

Song Ning walked out of the gate of Longxingda and met a young man who was about to enter, she stopped the other party and asked, "Are you here to report the case?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" The young man asked her.

"Why don't you go to the Torture Hall, there is a new official taking office today, why don't you try?"

"What kind of new officials and old officials, anyway, I won't go to the yamen to block it. Kowtowed to say hello and said a lot of things, and in the end I couldn't do it, so I went crazy and went to the torture hall. The young man went in without looking back.

Song Ning spread his hands: "What do I think, he said it makes sense?" ”

Song Yuanshi smiled helplessly and said, "You are now the unreasonable party, you should think about how you can reverse this situation." ”

"If I didn't want to be promoted and make a fortune, I would have broken this situation immediately." Song Ning walked as he walked.

"How do you break it?" Song Yuan was puzzled.

"I'm just across the road from here, and I also open a dart game, not taking small cases, only big murder cases. In less than half a year, I can monopolize this industry. Song Ning said.

Song Yuanshi rubbed his brows and had to remind her: "You want something useful." ”

The two of them sat down in the noodle restaurant opposite the yamen, only to find that the people eating in this noodle restaurant were all people from the yamen.

Everyone saw her as if they didn't.

"Guess what he's going to do?" There was an experienced official who scolded Nu Songning with his mouth.

There will be no one coming to the Torture Hall at all, and there will be no case, the only way out for this Lord Song is to endure for three years, and then get out!

"Learn Pai Gow or the next Sun Daren."

Several people laughed sullenly: "I'm going to go out of the city in the afternoon, will you go?" ”

"Go, of course."

There is a newly opened "cold kiln" outside the city, which is very wild.

They went out to play for two hours, and when they returned to the yamen in the afternoon, they were stunned by the crowd as soon as they reached the gate of the yamen.

"What are you doing here?"

Someone replied: "The new magistrate, Lord Song, is handing out vouchers." ”

"What voucher?"

"It's the official voucher of the Torture Hall. The first 20 people are limited to receive a voucher and come to the yamen to do business, no matter how big or small, go directly to him. The man said, shaking a handwritten voucher in his hand.

The people who listened laughed and said, "What's the use of the coupon, do you have a case in your family?" ”

"Nope." The man said, "But I have other things to do at home, so I'm going to come here tomorrow morning and use this voucher." ”

Several officers pushed aside the crowd and looked at the scene in the inner circle in amazement.

Seeing their new arrival, Lord Song, was smiling and introducing the wonderful use of the voucher to an aunt passing by: "If you have something at home, come to the yamen to find me, as long as you don't make trouble, the official will definitely deal with it for you personally." ”

"I don't have to pay for the case and the tea."

"Take it, take it."

The aunt wanted to refuse but didn't dare, so she held it in her arms and said, "Then what should I do if my family has nothing else to do in the past two days?" ”

"There's nothing else you can give to your neighbors, anonymous, you can use whatever you want."

The aunt barely held it.

Song Ning beckoned a young man again: "Don't you want a voucher?" ”

"Homicide, theft, cattle loss, etc., you can come to me." Song Ningxi said with a smile.

The young man glared at Song Ning viciously and said, "You are also a parent official, how can you curse our family for having an accident?" ”

"I don't want any case vouchers, who wants to want to go."

As he spoke, he brushed off the voucher and left.

"Stinky boy." Song Ning laughed and said to the crowd, "Come on, come on, there are the last ten." ”

There was a humane in the crowd: "Lord Song, even if you have a voucher, you can't do it alone." No one in the Torture House does anything, we all know it. ”

"If you have me, I'll be worth ten." Song Ning said.

Everyone doesn't believe it, this young man is just too little ruined by reality, and he will understand it in a few days.

"I can't send it out." A few errand servants bit their ears, sneered, and bypassed Song Ning and returned to the yamen.

Cheng Zhi was drinking tea in the auditorium, and Luo Cheng said with a smile: "Lord Cheng, didn't you go to the yamen to have a look?" ”

"What's there to see, it's just a clown." Cheng Zhidao.

Luo Shi laughed, explained to the unknown colleague next to him, and said, "...... Just like the turtle man who did business on the street, I felt ashamed. ”

"It's still the champion." Zhou Clerk's Fang Road.

"Give a reply to Lord Zheng, so that you will lose the face of the government office."

"No, I don't. It's up to him to toss it. Cheng Zhi waited coldly to see the joke, "I haven't seen that it's okay to pull business." ”
