Chapter 126: Opening the Court to Hear the Case
(Collection click recommendation is indispensable!Ladies and gentlemen, the lower officials kneel and beg here)
The night passed in a hurry, and Ji Xuan was busy in the Heavenly Master Temple for most of the night, and it was not until dawn that he left with a smile on his face.
Far away in Zhaodu Fu Xiangzhongyi, living in the Zhaodu Holy Temple, with a tough body, sitting in the Holy Temple with his eyes closed, he looked not angry and arrogant.
Suddenly, his eyes opened suddenly, with a hint of disbelief, he was a Heavenly Master Temple in the counties of Dazhao Prefecture, and he could mobilize the aura of the Holy Temple at will in every Heavenly Master Temple.
This is also the reason why he has such a high status in Zhao Du, but he also has a good status in the Heavenly Master Society, ranking below the elders, and the status is equal to that of other country symbols.
It was only a moment ago that he sensed something unbelievable.
Someone actually seized control of the temple without his authorization, and even almost broke his right to control a temple after a struggle.
He frowned and pondered, secretly thinking to himself who had such a thorough ability to communicate with the Holy Temple and gain the approval of the Holy Temple.
"It can't be that kid, right?" Zhong Yi muttered to himself, but in order to confirm who it was, he still sent a secret letter to one of his disciples in Ningcheng.
However, he didn't know what the message replied by his disciple, so he could only ask his disciple to pay attention to what was going to happen in Ningcheng and report to him in time.
......
At the beginning of the rising sun, Ji Xuan went to the county magistrate's mansion, which had a housekeeper and a cook, as well as a handyman who usually accompanied the county magistrate to go out to catch a car or run errands for the county magistrate.
Ji Xuan came to the county order mansion and showed the documents and official seal of the temporary county order, and the housekeeper Tong You respectfully shouted the county lord.
Under Tong You's introduction, Ji Xuan met the cook Yao Bing and Luo Ersheng, who ran errands, and the general layout of the county government also came into his eyes.
This is a two-story courtyard, the front yard is a hall, divided into small courtyards on the left and right sides, there is a small open-air platform in the inner courtyard of the first floor, there is a stone pier table and chairs, a few pots of flowers are placed in a row on both sides, the air is very fresh.
The room on the left is the study of the prefectural order, and the right side is vacant, and directly behind is the prefectural office.
Ji Xuan looked at it for a moment, and then asked Tong You to bring the official uniform and prepare to go to the county office.
"Old man......"
"Uncle Tong, you don't need to call me Master when no one is around, just call me Ji Xuan. Ji Xuan said.
"This can't be, sir, you are an official, and the little one is a slave, this point is clear. Tong You shook his head, indicating that he could not trespass.
Ji Xuan snorted, didn't say more, and after changing into an official uniform, an official authority emanated.
Tong You and the cook watched from afar, and they both felt that this new county order was very different from the previous county orders, which were usually kept at home, and they wore official uniforms on the day they first came, and hurriedly arranged an order at home and never went to the county office again.
The new county order was different, the dawn broke, and there were not many pedestrians on the road at this time, so he first put on his official uniform, and then asked Luo Ersheng to find a sedan chair, and went to the county office.
In the past, how could there be such a diligent person in the county order! It was only when the sun hung high that they got up, and if they were pretentious, no one beat the drum and voiced their grievances, so they ignored the affairs of the court.
"Old boy, did you notice anything wrong?"
"I roughly found out that this county order may not be simple!"
"Hey, I hope he can make Ningcheng more peaceful! Otherwise, I will be afraid to go grocery shopping. ”
"Hmm!"
......
Ji Xuan sat in a large sedan chair for four people, the body of the sedan chair was shaky, very unstable, Ji Xuan was closing his eyes and recuperating, thinking carefully about the past history of the earth, and how to be more dignified in the opening trial.
After thinking about it for a while, the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the county government.
At this time, there were people standing on the left and right sides of the county yamen gate, and their eyes were bloody, which showed that they didn't sleep well last night, but they got up early to stand guard and guard the ya.
Seeing the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the county office, one of them hurriedly stepped forward and glanced at Luo Ersheng, the handyman who led the way, as if asking if this was a county order.
Luo Ersheng nodded, then lifted the sedan curtain and said respectfully: "Lord County, the yamen has arrived." ”
Ji Xuan was in the sedan chair, mumbled, and then bowed his head and bent over.
The sedan chair leaned down slightly, and Ji Xuan stepped over and landed steadily.
Seeing this, the two officials guarding the door hurriedly stepped forward, clenched their fists and bent over, saying, "I've seen my lord." ”
Ji Xuan waved his hand, with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes, it seems that these officials themselves also want to be a good official! Otherwise, they would not get up early in the morning to guard the office, and wait for him to come to the court to try the case.
In fact, they also thought in their hearts that this county order also wanted to be a good county order, otherwise they would not have come to the yamen so early to prepare for the trial.
"When this official first came to Ningcheng, many things are not very clear, but there are a few places, and this official wants to emphasize that you should do it. Ji Xuan's official prestige is still very good, and his gestures show his appearance as an official all the time.
"My lord, please. ”
"To prepare enough forty water and fire sticks, there must be a memorial arch such as avoidance and silence in the county office, and ten orders are set up in the yamen court. In the morning, when the sky is bright and the golden rooster is not reported, the court will open the trial, and the rest of the details will be talked about when the two of you come back. Ji Xuan said.
"It's an adult, but it's ......"
"The water and fire stick is round at the top and flat at the bottom, red and black, and it is also a killing stick, which is a sharp weapon used to punish murderers in the public court, and can be used to suppress human skin and flesh. Ji Xuan said a little about how to make water and fire sticks before walking into the court.
The two guards quickly went to find a craftsman, so as not to be underestimated by Ji Xuan.
After entering the gate, Ji Xuan looked in from a distance, under the plaque of "fair and honest", on the left side of the county order, there was a county magistrate Jia three inches, and down stood Qin Xu, the head catcher who was in good spirits, he raised his head and held his chest high, not wanting to be embarrassed in front of the new county commander.
There are nine people standing on the left and right, all holding the scabbard with their left hand and their right hand on the handle of the knife in their left hand, which looks very imposing.
It's just that in the public court, holding some steel knives, in fact, the deterrence of prisoners is less than one-tenth of that of water and fire sticks.
Because the criminals knew that the officials could not cut them with knives in the public court, as long as they did not do anything unreasonable, the officials could not draw a knife and cut them, unless they intended to murder the county magistrate or the county magistrate.
But in court, few people are so stupid and openly confront the court officials, which is no different from death.
So in various ways, the killing stick can be more frightening, because the county order sees that you are guilty and does not recruit, so first give you a fifty big board, which can make your skin open and fleshy, and torture you so much that you can't stand it in your heart and confess the matter before stopping.
Although there is more or less the element of torture into tricks, compared to the system of this world, fighting is much lighter than killing, at least most people can accept the "torture into tricks" system in this regard.
Otherwise, if you are punished by some torture, few people will survive and die, which will cause turmoil in people's livelihood.
