Chapter 32 Servant of the People
Everyone admired and thought that the county magistrate could find out the real murderer so quickly, and he was really a detective-like figure.
Therefore, when Bai Luo appeared from the gate of the courtyard, the people applauded.
Bai Luo smiled and nodded to everyone, followed by a group of county officials and servants, all of whom had high chests, and were full of energy and radiance.
Jiang Xin and Wang Hai saw that there were many people, and they were afraid that something would happen, so they escorted the old king and left first.
Chai Hu and Ding Yi went to the side of the road to catch a carriage over, and only Miao Wu and Liu Zhiran were left by Bai Luo's side for a while.
Suddenly, a cry came from far and near, and it was the old woman of the Zhang family who was being helped over.
"My wretched son! O my wretched son! ……”
I saw the old woman of the Zhang family crying while stumbling towards Bai Luo with the support of a chubby woman beside her.
When she got closer, the chubby woman whispered the location of Bai Luo, the old woman of the Zhang family.
The old woman of the Zhang family groped, knelt in front of Bai Luo with a plop, and kowtowed.
"Lord Qingtian, Lord Qingtian, thank you for avenging my son, I will definitely set up an immortal tablet for you when I go back, and pray for you every day...... Thank you Lord Qingtian, thank you Lord Qingtian......"
The old woman of the Zhang family was already old, and her weather-beaten face was full of wrinkles.
Bai Luo has been taught by school and family to respect the old and love the young since he was a child, and he only kowtows to his elders during the New Year, where is he kowtowed by someone so old as himself.
She immediately couldn't stand it, and she couldn't care about the injury on her foot, so she hurriedly bent down to help the old woman of the Zhang family.
But Bai Luo's body has always been extremely weak, and he has no strength in his hands, and he can stand up there.
In a hurry, he touched the wound on the instep of his foot, and his heart ached.
Liu Zhiran was also a little surprised when he saw that Bai Luo's anxious expression did not seem to be fake.
The continent respects the virtuous and the noble, and the official status is supreme, but the commoners are despised and despised by the common people.
Therefore, although Miao Wu is over the age of old, he still has to kneel and bow when he sees himself, and he is also accustomed to this and calm.
And Bai Luo, as a county magistrate, is the parent official of the people on this side, in the final analysis, he can fully afford the kneeling ceremony of this old woman of the Zhang family; And he caught the real culprit for the old woman and son of the Zhang family, and he should have received this great gift.
According to him, Bai Luo should put on the identity of an official and accept it calmly.
In any case, it should not be so uncomfortable, and there is no need to bend over to help.
Bai Luo didn't pick up the old woman of the Zhang family after a few helps, so he had to turn around and ask for help.
Miao Wu herself was over the age of old, so naturally she didn't dare to work, so she had to say to Liu Zhiran: "Master Lu, I bother you to help." ”
Liu Zhiran smiled slightly, took a step forward, stretched out a hand to hold the elbow of the old woman Zhang, and spit out slightly in the palm of her hand, the old woman of the Zhang family only felt a strong force, so that she couldn't help but stand up.
The old woman of the Zhang family finally got up and stopped kowtowing to her, which made Bai Luo breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to the old woman of the Zhang family: "Don't make such a big gift, this official really doesn't dare to be a person." Today's murderer has pleaded guilty and is imprisoned, and tomorrow he will be tried in the county court, and I will send someone to pick you up for the trial, so that you can see it for yourself...... Uh, hearing the murderer's conviction with my own ears. ”
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you." The old woman of the Zhang family said that she knelt down and kowtowed again to thank you.
Bai Luo hurriedly supported her body and said with a smile: "The old lady doesn't have to be so polite, I am just a public servant of the people, and it is my duty to 'do things for the people and solve the people's dangers'." ”
Bai Luo was so panicked by this old woman of the Zhang family that in a hurry, she changed the slogan of the modern police station and used it.
didn't expect such a sentence to hit Liu Zhiran's ears like a thunderbolt.
A servant of the people?
Doing things for the people?
Solve the difficulties of the people?
Is it?
Can the way of being an official still be like this?
Liu Zhiran was like being struck by a thunderbolt, and his heart was like a stormy wave, and he was stunned in place.
Since he became an official, he has cracked three major corruption cases, and when he mentions himself, not only the officialdom, but also the people are praised by everyone.
But if you really want to talk about it, your starting point is completely to solve problems for the court and eliminate corruption for the court.
There is no intention to eradicate greed for the people.
Although there is an aphorism that "water can carry a boat, it can also overturn a boat", but being kind to the people is only a means, and in the end it is only to keep the king's boat unsinkable.
Water is the auxiliary, and the boat is the master.
There used to be a proverb that "if you are an official and not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes", but the word "being the master" is already putting yourself high.
The officials are high, and the people are low.
Throughout the continent, everyone has respected the imperial court and officials, and the common people have been lowly.
Everyone has recognized this dignity and accepted their own dignity or humility.
But what Bai Luo said was different from everyone else.
She said he was a servant of the people.
Servant!
That is to say, Bai Luo put his status very low, so low that he only regarded himself as a servant serving the people.
Just like Chai Hu Zhi serves Bai Luo, Hua Qianzhi serves himself.
As an official, Bai Luo's attitude is humble to this point, which is simply something Liu Zhiran has never seen.
Does she really know what her beliefs mean?
She pioneered ideas that never existed in the continent!
Take the official as the servant and the people as the respect!
Bai Luo, Bai Luo,
You're really impressing! Liu Zhiran thought in shock.
When I thought of the first time I came to Anning County, I felt ridiculous about Bai Luo's anticipation of the corrupt official.
Is this Bai Luo really a corrupt official?
He almost didn't believe it!
Over there, Bai Luo was still patiently persuading the old woman of the Zhang family.
The carriage finally pulled over, but because of the crowded crowd of onlookers, it could only stay far outside the crowd.
Chai Hu jumped out of the carriage and ran a few steps to help Bai Luo get into the car.
After this period of tossing, Bai Luo's injured foot finally couldn't hold on, and it was difficult to take a step.
I finally took two steps, and my foot hurt as much as my heart.
