I am a judge in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 24

See all the adults and common people who came to congratulate me.

They all looked at Lin Xiu with expectant and puzzled eyes.

Lin Xiu came to the steps calmly.

Holding fists with both hands, facing the direction of the palace

"Thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, it is my great fortune that Lin Xiu can be the Marquis of Yin and Yang and the General Judge of Yin and Yang!"

After finishing his words, Lin Xiu turned around again.

He looked at the people of Chang'an under the steps.

"The Tang Dynasty was newly established, and there were many injustices in the world. The people were suffering, and there were wars all year round, and the people were in dire straits. Looking around the world, there were always those who did all kinds of evil, either relying on power or money and power, oppressing the people and seeking only profit. Now the Judge's Palace has been completed. Lin Xiu Here, I will give a generous gift to the people of the world!"

After saying that, Lin Xiu turned around and uncovered the cloths on the items one by one.

Looking from left to right, there were three guillotines and a big drum.

The three guillotines were given by the system.

And that The big drum was made by Lin Xiu a few days ago.

Everyone was confused when they saw it. What is the use of the big drum?

Especially the dog-headed guillotine ? It’s spread all over the place, who dares to ask for it?

"The dog-headed guillotine can be used to pierce local tyrants, squires, bullies, rogues, and criminals!"

"The tiger-headed guillotine can be used to smite corrupt officials, treacherous ministers who bring harm to the country, and those who know the law and break the law!"

"The dragon-headed guillotine can be used to guillotine the emperor's relatives, phoenix's son, dragon's grandson, and those who despise the king's law!"

Hearing this, the common people at the foot of the steps were all excited.

Qingtian, you really are the master of Qingtian.

These three guillotines alone make all the people in the world feel proud.

However, there are also some people who dismiss this.

If you say

They may have believed that they were all ordinary people after all. To say that they were going to kill all the corrupt officials and traitorous officials in the country was a bit suspicious.

Is it possible to defeat the emperor's relatives and descendants?

Some people sneered at this.

After all, there was no Bao Qingtian during the Tang Dynasty, and Di Renjie was not born yet, and there were constant conflicts in the world. The foreign forces such as Tubo, Goguryeo and Japan were eyeing the Tang Dynasty.

There were old rebels in the Tang Dynasty who would make trouble from time to time, and the current situation was turbulent. How dare you say that you can bully anyone you want?

They all expressed disbelief.

However, Lin Xiu didn't bother to explain to them. If someone from the imperial family was really in his hands in the future, it would be their final explanation.

Well, Li Shimin, I will call you at night. Let's drink tea and talk about the blood letter.

Lin Xiu pointed to the last big drum while looking at the excited Chang'an people under the steps.

"This is the grievance drum. From today on, this drum will be hung in front of the judge's palace. Anyone who wants to file a complaint or redress his grievance must call someone to report it, and he can beat the drum directly outside the door!"

"I promise that no matter what time or day anyone beats the drum, he will immediately go to court for questioning."

"However, I have something to say first. If the rude and troublesome person comes to play drums, I will definitely punish him severely!"

After the words fell, all the people shed tears of gratitude.

You know how difficult it is for people to go to the government yamen to file a complaint on weekdays?

There is such a good saying.

The yamen door opens to the south. If you have a reason, don't come in if you don't have money.

This sentence fully reflects how difficult it is for ordinary people to redress their grievances. Not only do they have to spend money to get rid of the little greedy ones at the door

, but they also have to spend money to get rid of the big ones. Either he will be thrown out directly, or the case will be shelved.

It will take three to five years, or ten or eight years. After the officials are replaced, the case will be left in the dust and it will be difficult to investigate. This situation existed in all dynasties, let alone the Tang Dynasty. Now Lin Xiu introduced this drum without any procedures, and there was no need to spend money to beat the drum at the door. How could this not be a great thing for the common people? Lao Cheng, Lao Niu, and Qin Qiong all praised it behind their backs.

"These things are really great gifts for the common people! Changsun Wuji twirled his long beard with his hand and nodded with a smile.

"Auxiliary machine, you have to be careful. Don't think that you are so little. I don't know. Be careful. One day, I will come to the judge's hall, beat the drum to complain, and file a lawsuit against you!"Lao Cheng said with a smile.

"Hey, you Fatty Cheng, what are you going to sue me for?"

"Humph, there are so many lawsuits against you!"

"Come on, come on, tell me first, what do you want to sue me for?"

The two sang in harmony and started playing around in the background.

The other officials also laughed.

That night, Lin Xiu and his sister Lin Rongrong stayed in the judge's palace.

In addition, there were also other officials assigned to them. More than twenty government officials, including

Zhao Sheng, Wang Fen, Li Si and Meng Lang, have also settled in.

Of course, the four of them now have new identities and cannot be called Baiqisi. Because they have been removed from the Baiqi Division.

Now they are the four guards around Lin Xiu who are responsible for investigating and handling cases.

There is also another person who is also responsible for Lin Xiu's personal safety.

It was Cheng Chumo who worked with him in the Judge's Hall.

He had become a bit addicted since he followed Lin Xiu to investigate the Shi Daqian case, and I don't know what method he used to convince Cheng Yaojin.

He stayed here to help.

And he did it for free, so how could Lin Xiu disagree? Although it was the time for the Judge to employ people, it was Yin after all.

Ming Si, let them be responsible for the ghosts, it is no problem , but it is absolutely impossible to deal with and capture the people in the Yang world, not to mention that it is difficult for them to communicate with each other during the day, which is very inconvenient..

That night, Lin Xiu went to bed early.

……

At the same time, on the edge of the moat.

A man in his twenties, with blurred eyes and a dull expression, walked towards the river.

The surroundings were silent, already swallowed up by the darkness.

Under the night ban, there was no one around.

His body was stiff, as if he was unconscious.

When the river water reached his feet, he was completely unaware.

Gradually, it covered his upper body, chest, and neck...

In just a moment, his entire body was submerged in it.

There was no struggle, just a few blisters popping up, and then disappeared.

A cold and strange night wind blew by.
