Chapter 441: Drumming and Grievances
A bleak smile appeared on her face, and her voice was a little sad: "Lord Fang, you can hand over the paper to me." I have thought about it carefully, as long as I can save Chu Tiankuo and them, I am willing to do so. ”
Master Fang was very embarrassed, and finally gave her the paper.
Shui Mai took the paper, turned around and left.
Lord Fang's concerned words came from behind: "Miss Shuimai, wait, it's still early, let's leave after breakfast." ”
However, the water veins didn't seem to hear it, and just buried their heads and walked out. At this moment, she was frowning and uncertain, how could she have the heart to eat? Her mind was full of thoughts about saving Chu Tiankuo and them.
At the beginning of the rising sun, the water vein rushed to Dali Temple with the paper.
The two little guys at the gate of Dali Temple were very eye-catching, and they recognized her at once. Come to think of it, the title of the first beauty in Fengcheng is not in vain. Such a beautiful girl, no matter where she goes, she will be the focus of attention and make people remember it vividly.
One of the little servants greeted her with a smile: "Girl, are you here to find Lord Duan of Dali Temple?" ”
I have to say that having a good appearance is the key to communicating with everyone. If it weren't for the beauty of the water vein, the little guy would not have been so active and enthusiastic.
Shui Mai's face was expressionless and sorrowful, and she tried to squeeze out a polite smile. It's just that I'm worried in my heart, and I really can't force a smile. She said lightly: "This little brother, I'm here to sue." As she spoke, she took out the paper from her bosom and handed it to the servant: "I have brought it." Please pass it on to Master Duan. ”
Although she was depressed, she was as generous and decent as ever, and she did not lose her proportions. I have to admire her wisdom and self-cultivation, in this situation, she can still talk freely. This is going to change the cigarette incense, and I have long been anxious to shout.
The little servant did not take the paper, but asked, "May I ask who the girl is accusing using?" What do you want to sue? ”
Shui Mai immediately connected: "I want to sue Fang Hongyi, the prefect of Fengcheng, and accuse him of unfairness in judging the case and disregarding people's lives." ”
Hearing this, the faces of the two little guys changed, and they were very surprised. They looked at her worriedly and helplessly, and kindly reminded: "Girl, is this true? The people sue the officials, but they will be punished. ”
I've never eaten pork, and I've seen a pig walk. These two little guys, although they are just gatekeepers, but they stay in Dali Temple, and they naturally have seen more. Although he has not participated in the trial, he also knows the process of civil prosecution.
Before you tell you, you will be tortured first, and if you don't die, you have to lose half your life. Therefore, when I heard Shui Mai say that I wanted to inform the Lord of the Prefecture, I couldn't help but remind him.
These water veins were naturally clear, and Lord Fang had already informed her of them all. She said anxiously, "I already know this. Now that I have decided to do so, I am ready to be punished. I have to trouble the two little brothers to help spread the word. ”
The two little guys looked at each other, frowned, and shrugged helplessly. The thought of such a beautiful girl to be tortured makes people sigh, and they can't bear it.
The water pulse was so anxious that he wanted to speak again to urge, but he couldn't hold back.
After a while, one of the little servants persuaded her: "Girl, I advise you to think twice." In case, if you can't sue you, it's not worth taking your own life.
Shui Mai only felt bored in his heart, took a deep breath, and said quietly: "Thank you for your concern." I had to do this, and I hope my little brother can help. So saying, I will hand him the paper.
The little guy still didn't reach for the paper. Seeing that Shui Mai's attitude was so resolute, the two little guys no longer persuaded each other, and said bluntly: "Girl, it's not that we don't want to help. The civil prosecutor stipulates that several procedures must be followed. First of all, you have to beat the drum and cry out. ”
The little guy said as he pointed to the distance with his finger.
The water veins looked in the direction of their fingers, and at the entrance of the Dali Temple, a big drum was specially set up. The drum is called the drum of grievances, and the common people who are wronged can beat the drum to sound their grievances.
The little servant continued: "After you beat the drum and sound the grievances, and the sound of the drum reaches the ears of the adults, he will send someone to inquire. Moreover, this move will attract the attention of people in the past. Then, the Lord ascends to the church and summons you. If you go to court, the accuser will be tortured, and only then can she sue if he can endure it. ”
After patiently listening to the little guy's remarks, Shui Mai was very puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Why go to such a big time? Is it feasible for the troublesome little brother to directly present the paper to Lord Duan? ”
Xiao Wu saw her doubts, and said helplessly: "This is a necessary procedure for civil prosecutors, and ordinary people have to do this." ”
The subtext is probably that if there is someone up there, you can go through the back door.
Since it is a necessary procedure, the water vein no longer needs to be spoken. For her, if there is a delay for a moment, Chu Tiankuo and them will be in danger for a moment. If that didn't work, she'd have to find another solution. She didn't care about anything else, and strode straight to the drum, picking up the drumstick and striking it hard.
The sound of drums and drums was like thunder, which shook the entire Dali Temple, alarmed the people nearby, and attracted many people to watch.
The people who passed by were startled when they saw her, and they hurriedly stopped her: "Girl, this is not a joke, leave quickly." ”
The water veins turned a deaf ear, ignoring the suspicions and discussions of others, and just persistently beat again and again. It's not that she doesn't know that there is a price to be paid for beating the drum. However, in order to save Chu Tiankuo and them, she was willing to do so, even if she did not hesitate to lose her life.
After knocking for a while, the door of the yamen of Dali Temple opened, and an official came to inquire.
The water vein told the person she wanted to sue and the thing she wanted to tell the official as it was.
After hearing this, the official shook his head, sighed, and walked to Dali Temple.
Leaving the water veins inexplicably left in place. She stood in front of the drum and took a breath. What does that mean? Did you accept her complaint, or did you reject it? How is it not explicitly stated?
She was unwilling, and very worried, so she picked up the drumstick and struck it hard.
Soon, many onlookers gathered around her.
In the crowd, there was a good uncle, who kept asking: "Girl, what is the so-called matter of you beating the drum and singing grievances?" ”
Although the uncle is old, he is still very tough, and his voice is like a bell. Despite the drumbeat, Shui Pulse heard his question.
She stopped beating the drum in her hand and thought about it with what little reason she had. She didn't know if the official of Dali Temple would accept the case. Just now, the official who came out of it left without saying a word. It is possible to go in and report to the adult, or it may be to ignore her.
She thought that it would be better to make this matter public, inciting the pressure of public opinion, forcing Dali Temple not to accept the case, but also to accept it. So, after thinking about it for a while, Shui Wei frowned, raised his voice and said, "I want to sue Lord Fang, the prefect of Fengcheng." sued him for unfairness in handling the case and disregarding people's lives. ”
