"Stop, this drum can't be beaten!"

Originally, on both sides of the county government gate, among the eight doormen standing opposite each other, the four doormen who looked at each other loudly stopped them.

Not only that, but he also subconsciously stretched out his hand and ran to stop it.

But no matter how fast they reacted, it was no faster than the hand speed of an angry middle-aged man, and they could only watch this middle-aged strong man in a brocade robe, destroy their 'cultural relics' with a bang!

At this moment, Queen Ma also hurried to work with Mao Xiang and them to save Zhu Yuanzhang, who was imprisoned by the big drum.

Time goes back to the moment when Zhu Yuanzhang hit the drum,

After Zhu Yuanzhang ran violently, he picked up the drumstick on the drum rack, aimed at the big drum that was enough to put a strong man in, and smashed it hard.

With this strength, if it is a golden hammer holding a special golden gourd to hit the top, it can definitely crush a person's head at once.

He hit the papier-mâché drum surface with such force, of course, it was broken down at once, and the inertia of the force also knocked the drum body flying.

Naturally, the drum body, which was as round as a super-large bucket, was like a ferrule, and Zhu Yuanzhang was put in.

Fortunately, Mao Xiao and the guards were agile, so before they smashed his feet, they buckled the bottom of the drum body: "Master, be careful!" ”

"Master, raise your hand, we'll take it out for you!"

“.”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who reacted at this time, was directly stunned.

That is, looking at the remnants of the drum surface that was blown by the wind, he knew that this drum surface was not made of leather, but a waterproof oil paper umbrella paper that looked like kraft paper!

"Fooling around with paper? This dog officer! ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang cooperated with the guards to help him take out the drum body, he didn't forget to scold in his heart.

But even so, he didn't scold openly, after all, the place he was in was under his Ye Qing's nose.

But he also made up his mind, it doesn't matter if he doesn't see him, he will go to the nearby guard post to transfer troops now, and directly arrest him Ye Qing and then settle the account.

It's a small thing to make him lose face, but even the drum of grievances is fooled with paper, and he already knows Ye Qing's character.

Isn't this just a decision to let the people have no way to redress their grievances!

But when the drum body, which was as round as a huge bucket, was lifted out, the people in the past directly blocked his way to transfer troops:

"What's the matter with you, you don't have long eyes!"

"You know what this drum is to us?"

"Poor master, don't let them go, you must let them lose money, and after paying eight thousand yuan, they will go to labor reform to atone for their crimes!"

“.”

Just when everyone was coldly pointing at Zhu Yuanzhang and scolding, an old man silently walked to the already destroyed drum of grievances, and he just caressed the torn papier-mâché drum with great care.

At the same time, he also shed tears of great regret: "Brute! ”

"Brute, the old man is going to fight with you!"

After the old man wiped his tears, when he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again, it was as if he had seen the enemy who killed his father, and he really looked like he had died together, so he bumped into him.

In the face of such a situation, let alone Mao Xiang, even the smart and careful Queen Ma did not react.

How could it be that his family was wrong?

But they still reacted instinctively and directly protected Zhu Yuanzhang in the middle.

Fortunately, the doorman made a move, hugged the old man and said, "Uncle, don't be like this, we have something to say." ”

While a young doorman took this old man who wanted to die with Zhu Yuanzhang to the side to do ideological work, the other doormen also hurriedly calmed down the angry Yanmen people.

"Everyone, calm down, this is the county government, and you can't make a fuss."

"At a glance, these people knew that it was the first time they came to a foreign business trip, and they must have encountered something urgent, so they did this."

"Everyone must know that we have today in Yanmen County, and we can't do without these foreign business travelers, we should let them know where they are wrong, and we should give them the opportunity to mend their ways."

"Yes, only in this way can we highlight the generosity and tolerance of the people of Yanmen, and let people come once and then there will be the next time."

“.”

Under the education of the doormen, the eyes of the people looking at Zhu Yuanzhang were obviously not so fierce.

Seeing that most of the crisis was resolved, Mao Xiang and the others also nodded with satisfaction, I have to say that these doormen are much better than those doormen in other places who like to take advantage.

But then, they felt that something was wrong.

This dog official fooled people with papier-mâché drums, and became a saint?

It's useless for them to be wrong at all, and they just become sinners?

It has also become the generosity of the people of Yanmen, giving them a chance to mend their ways?

Not to mention Mao Xiang and them, even Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma can't figure out what is going on if they want to break their heads.

In order to figure out what was going on, Queen Ma directly signaled Mao Xiang, who was blocking the front, to get out of the way, and she wanted to ask this matter clearly.

But before Queen Ma could go out, Zhu Yuanzhang took Queen Ma's hand and dragged it back, and he walked out by himself, as a big man, how could he let his mother-in-law come out!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a young doorman and said with a downward posture: "Let's ask Ling, what is going on?" ”

When the people saw his appearance as a superior person, they directly became angry: "What are you, this is the attitude of doing something wrong? ”

"Believe it or not, Lao Tzu smashed you to death with a hoe!"

"I've seen shameless, but I've never seen shameless!"

“.”

In the face of this group of people who can already be called Diao Min, Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't want to endure it, and the five words 'those who don't know are not guilty' can't calm him down.

But at this time, Queen Ma still walked out, first smiled and apologized, and then politely asked the doorman.

When the people saw that this lady was so reasonable, they temporarily suppressed the anger in their hearts and were willing to give them a chance.

Queen Ma asked the doorman: "This poor master, we just have something to complain." ”

"It is a rule handed down by the ancestors that the people complain and beat the drum to complain, but how is this drum surface made of paper?"

When Queen Ma saw that the people were like this, she didn't mention the word Ye Qing at all, but she just looked like they didn't understand and urgently needed to solve their doubts.

When the people saw that the lady was so knowledgeable, they also told the story of the drum.

With the extremely detailed explanations of the people, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma also had a picture in their minds that was almost like a reproduction of the story.

Time goes back to three years ago, when Ye Qing took office.

At that time, although Yanmen County had a county seat, it was full of dilapidated and dilapidated land, and those agricultural lands that should symbolize the characteristics of agricultural civilization were turned into a grassland under the strategy of 'returning farmland to grazing' of the Barbarian Yuan.

In the summer night, in the lush grassland, there are four wild ghost fires!

For no other reason,

Just because after the Beiban killed people, they would be buried under the grassland to make fertilizer, and the grass grew as well as today's rice, and you can even see the scene where the grass grows from the people's yards to the kang.

Even on a July night in the middle of summer, those places are bitterly cold.

This is the Yanmen County when they Ye took office, and after coming to the county seat, the county government gates are all dilapidated gates.

And the drum that has been handed down since the end of the Song Dynasty is also old, if it weren't for the good work of the drum body, it would have been gone long ago.

As for the drum surface, that's really a knock and it breaks!

At this moment, the young Ye Qing came here wearing an official uniform and riding a donkey!

He summoned the people, who had been starving for half their lives because they had not had enough to eat for a long time, to listen to him.

But where would the common people, who are already like the walking dead and have lost faith in life, believe that a young official can lead them to prosperity?

In order to make everyone quiet, Ye Qing is also like this old man, as soon as the drumstick goes down, he directly breaks the drum surface.

"Bad good!"

"The old doesn't go, the new doesn't come!"

"You have only one choice, you can only have hope for the future if you follow this official!"

"You have no choice, either just be ready to starve to death at any time, or use your remaining half of your life to follow this official to fight for a better future!"

When Ye Qing said this, he also looked at the patched clothes on the officials and the people.

In the next moment, Ye Qing directly tore his official robe, and said loudly with all his strength: "There is a Bodhisattva in the Buddhist family who said that hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha!" ”

"That's an ethereal god and Buddha, if it is useful to ask God to worship Buddha, these northern barbarians will not be able to enter!"

"The only thing you can believe is your own hard-working hands, and my Lord Ye, who swears that if you don't wear new clothes, I will always wear a patched official uniform!"

"What you want to do, you choose!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qing, who was wearing a rotten official uniform, turned his back directly.

But at this moment, the people knelt down together, willing to fight with this young Lord Ye!

Finally, the government and the people laughed together and had hope for the future.

Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at the drum that was smashed by Ye Qing all at once and was worried, because they were so poor that they couldn't even repair this drum!

Ye Qing immediately said: "It's good to paste it with paper, this is the respect for the ancestor who set the rules!" ”

"From today onwards, the people don't need to beat the drum to report their grievances, I will formulate a better way for everyone!"

"This papier-mâché drum will always exist, after you become rich, every time you pass by and see it, you will remember that you were once so poor that you couldn't even repair the county government's drum of grievances!"

"Perhaps, you don't dare to imagine it now, but you will definitely have that time in the future!"

“.”

Now under the magnificent county gate,

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma listened to the people's crying reminiscences, restoring the picture of Ye Qing's arrival in their minds, and then looking at the people's clothes without patches, as well as the delicate rattles in the hands of children.

After Queen Ma wiped her tears, she suddenly slapped Zhu Yuanzhang's drumming arm, and there was a little reproach in her eyes: "It's all your fault!" ”

"I told you not to be so impulsive, you didn't listen, now it's okay, you made a big mistake!".
