I have a backstage in Datang

"Miyun County, Gujia Village, some people came here in grief and anger, and sued the Sun family for occupying my land..."

The sound of yelling, roaring again, seemed to pierce the sky, the sound rolled into the city, so powerful, so courageous, in this Miyun County, to inform the Yunsun family!

Zhao Laosan subconsciously swallowed his saliva, but he couldn't help feeling a little confused in his heart. He said to himself in a daze, "They are obviously soldiers of the Detachment of Women, why they suddenly became the people of Miyun County?"

For some reason, there was a trance in front of his eyes, as if a thin figure appeared in his eyes with a calm smile on his face, it was the little brother Gu whom he once had nodding acquaintance with.

Oh, no, it should be Mr. Gu.

Gu Tianya's faint smile flickered in Zhao Laosan's mind, and he suddenly felt as if he wanted to understand something.

The brazen soldier filed a complaint, and he followed, perhaps, he was the one who led the way...

Chapter 46 [Gu Tianya's Past]

The common people in China have loved to be lively since ancient times.

At this time, a lot of people had already gathered in front of the county yamen. Although they didn't dare to move too far, there were people standing on the corners of the street, all standing on tiptoes and stretching their necks. It was never a big deal to watch the excitement.

Since someone has filed a complaint, the county government has to be promoted, but today's situation is a bit large, and all the people who came to file a complaint are soldiers...

Moreover, it was the Miyun Sun family who sued.

This is the posture of Qianglong insisting on touching the local snake.

……

Gu Tianya stood quietly in front of the county government office. He deliberately made his position slightly backward, neither standing out special nor pretending to be calm. He just held a household registration certificate in his hand, silently waiting A county magistrate was promoted.

There are more and more people around, there are whispering voices everywhere, someone seems to recognize him, and is whispering about him...

Someone seemed to be very surprised and said, "Did you see that? That little brother's surname is Gu! I remember that he seems to be from outside the city, and he would occasionally come to the city to sell a few reed mats..."

"That's right, I've seen him too!"

Another onlooker whispered, whispering to the others: "This young man is called Gu Tianya, his family is very poor, but he can weave reed mats, and he often sells them in the county town, most of the time he sells them to Sun's family for making. To pay off the debt, he would occasionally stop the caravan to ask someone to buy it, and every time the reed mats were sold out, he would immediately go to the grain shop..."

"Hehe, after you said that, I suddenly remembered it too!"

This time it was an old man who spoke, with a cloth-covered cake basket hanging from his arm. He tried his best to squeeze into the crowd, showing off his face, and kept showing off to everyone: "You may not believe me if you tell me. I have given him several cakes before, if we really want to be strict, I have saved the old man's life..."

"Really?" The crowd obviously didn't believe it, and someone said sarcastically, "Just because of your stinginess, old Liu from the east of the city, you would give someone cake for no reason?"

The old Liu in the east of the city was immediately angry, spat at someone, and said cursingly: "Why can't I give people cakes, old man? My heart is also full of flesh..."

He paused while talking, sighed as if feeling emotional, and said again: "It was winter, this baby was so hungry that he couldn't walk, he obviously had money with him after selling the reed mats, but he was reluctant to take out a single coin I was shopping for food, but I fell down in the snowdrift on the side of the street hungry, but my hands were tightly clutching a small bag."

He paused again while talking, and said with emotion again: "I remember the old man very clearly. That little pocket was really small, and at most it contained three or four catties of corn, but this kid was desperately grabbing it in his hand. His I was hungry and collapsed on the side of the road for a while, but I managed to crawl forward in the snow!"

The people who watched the excitement suddenly fell silent, and a figure of a young man struggling hard seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

The old Liu in the east of the city glanced at Gu Tianya who was not far away, and suddenly expressed emotion for the third time, and said with emotion: "At that time, the old man thought he was stupid, and asked him why he bought all the money for corn, if he could buy it for himself The last piece of cake is not too hungry to walk, but guess what, this kid shook his head stubbornly, and he said: My family has been out of food for two days, and my mother is waiting for food at home. My mother has not eaten for two days Now, why should I eat first as a son? Before my mother is full, my son will be hungry first..."

Everyone was in a daze, their eyes couldn't help looking at Gu Tianya, someone blurted out subconsciously, and murmured: "This young man, Xiao!"

Only Old Liu from the east of the city suddenly chuckled, his expression seemed to suddenly become smug, and he said: "At that time, the old man thought this kid was pretty good, so I took out several cakes without saying a word, and I told the old man that these cakes don't cost money. I remember very clearly that the child was holding on to the ground and kowtowed to me. He grabbed the pancake and gnawed it desperately, rolling his eyes so much that he kept rolling his eyes. Here, this kid learns things very quickly, and quickly grabbed the snow and put it in his mouth, just like that, eating a cake and a snow, eating even a beggar is not as good as..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed, and said: "My old Liu has been as stingy as a ghost all his life, and he has always sold cakes in cash, but only that time, I gave a few cakes for free, haha, so I Only then can I say that I saved his life."

Everyone present kept nodding, and suddenly someone gave Lao Liu a thumbs up.

Old Liu felt that his face was very radiant, he suddenly stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck, shouted at Gu Tianya from a distance, and asked, "That kid, do you remember this?"

Everyone involuntarily looked at Gu Tianya again.

Many people are guessing whether Gu Tianya will admit to this matter.

Under the eyes of everyone, I suddenly saw Gu Tianya coming up, bent over suddenly, knelt down solemnly, kowtowed, and said in a solemn voice: "Uncle Liu, I remember that when I was 13 years old, I ate you." Four cakes, my life really belongs to you..."

After finishing speaking, he bowed solemnly again, and there was a bang, another ringing of his head.

Old Liu in the east of the city was stunned for a while, trying to help him in a hurry, but before he had time to reach out, he suddenly saw twenty soldiers rushing over, and suddenly they clasped their hands together, fisted at him solemnly, and said loudly: "Uncle Liu, brother!" Let me salute you. You saved our Brother Gu’s life. If you have anything to do in the future, please speak up directly. You can come anytime at the Gujia Village Station outside the city..."

"This...this is..." Old man Liu was stunned on the spot, but his face felt extremely radiant.

A group of soldiers who dared to challenge the Sun family saluted him in full view. What an honor and a grand pomp?

There is also Brother Gu, who is obviously well-developed now, but kneels down in front of everyone and kowtows to him twice.

Just because he once gave the other party a few cakes...

At this moment, Gu Tianya got up slowly, and suddenly reached out to take his cake basket, and said with a warm smile: "Uncle Liu, the cakes are not sold out yet, right? It just so happens that we haven't eaten yet, can we buy all these cakes?"

Old man Liu was stunned, nodded subconsciously, and said, "That's good, it's not sold out. There are few people on the street in cold weather, and sometimes a basket of pancakes takes two or three days to sell..."

After hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice: "The pancakes are a bit hard from the freezer, and they are a bit hard to eat. The little girl of the Gu family... Uh, brother Gu, are you sure you want to buy them all?"

Gu Tianya chuckled, and said warmly again: "As long as it's pancakes, you can satisfy your hunger. Your craftsmanship is very good, and the pancakes are delicious. It doesn't matter if they are hard, we haven't eaten yet."

"That... That's fine!" Old man Liu couldn't help nodding, suddenly he seemed to think of something, and quickly said, "A basket of cakes, twenty yuan. Gu... Brother Gu, I can't do it for free this time!"

As if he was afraid that Gu Tianya would get angry, he hurriedly explained: "There is a gentleman who studies in the city, and he is going to open a school to recruit boys. My family has a little grandson, and the old man wants to send him to school."

Gu Tianya nodded solemnly and said, "How can I let you be free again."

While he was talking, a soldier stood beside him, it was that bastard Yan Jiu, he took out a money pouch from his bosom, laughed and said, "There are fifty coins in this pouch, which we saved up last month." Military pay, Uncle Liu, take it well. Fifty Wen is not too much, and I can pay off your debt for the time being. Later, when we pay the soldiers again, I will slowly accumulate and pay you back..."

"Fifty Wen? I only need [-] Wen? There is still more, why pay the debt?" Old man Liu was confused and puzzled.

But the bastard Yan Jiu laughed again, and said, "You saved our Brother Gu's life, this debt cannot be repaid with fifty Wen. Uncle Liu, take it."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to give it away, and stuffed the money bag directly.

Old man Liu was in a daze.

Gu Tianya glanced at Yan Jiu, nodded to express his thanks, he suddenly squeezed old man Liu's palm lightly, and said in a low voice: "Old man, go home and have a rest after selling pancakes. It's so busy today, don't you Look at it."

There was some hint of this, but the old man couldn't hear it, and he said reluctantly: "It's unlikely that there will be a lawsuit in several months."

The implication is that they are reluctant to go home directly. People in Huaxia like to join in the fun, and this old man is obviously one of them.

Gu Tianya hesitated for a moment, as if he had some scruples. After a long time passed, he suddenly nodded with a smile and said, "That's fine! You're always willing to watch the show, so stay and have a look."

After finishing speaking, he gently squeezed the old man's hand again, and said in a gentle voice: "But you have to stay away, don't squeeze towards the gate of the yamen."

The old man was obedient this time, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Gu, I am timid, even if I want to watch the fun, I will only hide in the periphery."

Gu Tianya showed his face and smiled, and said softly: "That's good."

After saying this, he turned around slowly and left, and the twenty soldiers also turned around and returned to the gate of the county government office.

Still standing quietly, waiting for the county magistrate to be promoted.

Only Yan Jiu picked up the drumstick again, and hit the grievance drum in front of the door heavily, while shouting sharply, it was still the same sentence not long ago:

"Miyun County, Gujia Village, some people came here in grief and anger, and sued the Sun family for occupying my land..."

Yan Jiu's voice was very loud, roaring like thunder.

The other nineteen soldiers stood with their knives in their hands, quietly waiting with Gu Tianya.

Good show, don't be afraid of being late.

No matter how much the other party delays their promotion, there will be a moment when they will meet each other.

Although Brother Gu made us call ourselves civilians, we are actually a bunch of unreasonable soldiers in our hearts. When we are promoted to meet each other, I hope the county government will not regret the delay.

We waited here silently, already occupying all the truth.

Brother Gu told us that when we have reason, we can be even more unreasonable.

Because we are not civilians after all, we are all soldiers who have killed people...

But brother Gu can really bear it. Originally, we wanted to rush in and smash it in anger. The 99 soldiers of our majestic Women's Army are all elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles. How have we ever been subjected to such a bird's temper, and we have to behave obediently at the gate of the county government office? wait.

His grandma's, after he was promoted to the hall, he had to get out of this stuffy stomach.

Because we are not civilians after all, we are all soldiers who have killed people!

Officials in the county government, I want to see how long you delay...

Chapter 47 [The officials who have been officials since ancient times, officials protect each other? 】

But at this time in the back hall of the county government, the magistrate Sun Zhao had already heard the sound of drums outside.

But he didn't ascend to the hall immediately, instead he sat cross-legged on a brocade rug, and he cooked a pot of fragrant tea leisurely, turning a deaf ear to the sound of drumming outside.

A small red clay stove, new tea bricks from the south of the Yangtze River, and the water vapor curling up, Sun Zhao's expression was calm, neither joy nor anger could be seen on his face, as if he had put all his body and mind into making tea.

On a brocade carpet next to him, the county magistrate Liu Yun also sat cross-legged. This person also had a calm expression, as if he was only waiting to taste Sun Zhao's brewed tea.

Mencius said, Ju Yi Qi, Yang Yi body, the Confucian way of being an official since ancient times, pay attention to the calm Qi of accumulating the collapse of Mount Tai without changing his face. They deliberately turned a deaf ear to the sound of drums outside, which is quite respected by some Confucian officials calm.

But calmness is calmness, and nothing can be done too much. Since someone outside is beating drums and complaining, as a county government official, he must be promoted. If he delays for too long, he will lose his official bearing.

So when a pot of tea had just been brewed, Sun Zhao suddenly let out a mouthful of hot air, and said leisurely, "This is the first time someone has filed a complaint today since I took office for more than a month."

Sitting cross-legged next to him, Liu Yun also said leisurely, "It's the first time someone sued, but it was the Sun family."

Sun Zhao nodded, and suddenly said with a smile: "Since someone has filed a complaint, it stands to reason that he should be promoted."

Liu Yun was still sitting cross-legged, and had no intention of getting up at all. Instead, he added another sentence for him, and said slowly: "But we are officials, and the people who sue are people. Even if we have to be promoted, the officials have to speak. , when to accept the papers, we are the officials, we have the final say..."

Sun Zhao clapped his palms and praised, saying: "Then press it again, so as to get rid of the muddy legs."

Liu Yun nodded and smiled, as if he was at ease, and said slowly again: "This is the way of being an official, and the official authority should be like this. Even if there are thunderous outcries of grievances, the official should suppress the complainant's heart."

As the two sang and sang, it seemed that what they said was reasonable, but in fact, both of them knew very well that their pressure was deliberate.

The reason is simple, it is the Sun family who is going to sue.

The Sun family is Sun Zhao's family.

Since ancient times, when people from aristocratic families became officials, they had to protect their family before they could protect the country. Since Sun Zhao was in charge of the Miyun county government, how could he not even protect his own family.

Don't ask right or wrong when things happen, first protect your own three points, if you can't do this when you are an official, why should the aristocratic family fight for official power.

As for Liu Yun, he also had to help the Sun family.

The reason is very simple, he is also a noble family, although the family strength is not yet high-ranking, but it is no longer a small household, wealth and honor have been passed on for three generations, and gradually cultivate a noble spirit, there is only one direction for future efforts, and that is to be promoted early to become a low-ranking family.

From now on, the family background is noble, how can it be the same as the mud legs?

That's why the two coincided with each other and deliberately stayed in the back hall of the county government to make tea for fun. Aren't you clamoring to sue?Let you muddy legs wait outside.

When you have polished off your temper, until you have worn off your spirit, then we will be promoted, and various official means will be used.

The so-called mutual protection between officials and officials has been the same since ancient times. Even if there are different voices in the county government, those few people will surely give face. If a son offends a colleague, everyone will definitely choose to speak out in defense.

So the group of mud legs from the Gu family village outside came to file a complaint, they must have mustered up the courage to come but left trembling.

Officials, two mouths, even if the mud-legged people really have the reason, they can make them obey obediently after entering the yamen.

Aristocratic families all over the world are fighting for official power, isn't that what they are fighting for?

It's a pity that although the two had a good plan, they didn't know that the people coming from outside were not people at all. The reason why they made a wrong judgment was because the soldiers claimed to be villagers of the Gu family when they roared.

……

The small red clay stove was blazing, and gradually boiled a pot of tea. Sun Zhao slowly raised his hand to carry the pot, first poured a cup for Liu Yun, and then he poured himself, and the two toasted and sipped the tea.

A cup of fragrant tea, three sips, and then let out a mouthful of hot air, each showing their own contentment.

Until then, Sun Zhao slowly looked outside the door, and shouted from a distance: "Is there a government servant waiting outside?"

How could there be no government servants outside?

The servants waiting outside were dying of anxiety.

At this time, upon hearing the county magistrate's call, someone rushed to the door in an instant, and hurriedly said: "Report to the county magistrate, Sun San is waiting here."

His name is Sun San, his surname is Sun, and he was probably a servant of the Sun family in Miyun. He served as a government servant for nothing more than to enrich Sun Zhao's strength in the county government.

Sure enough, Sun Zhao nodded, and said in a gentle tone, "It turns out that you are the steward of Uncle's branch. You have been a yamen servant for more than a month."

He laid out the official records in such a slow manner, but the yamen servants at the door were as anxious as ants in a hot pot, but they couldn't speak abruptly, so they could only forcefully reply: "My lord, the villain is indeed under the head of the family." Steward."

Sun Zhao gave an 'hmm', and then slowly asked: "How's the situation outside? Have those muddy legs been worn out..."

His words sounded like he was asking a question, but his tone was full of determination. The way to be an official is to be calm.

Unexpectedly, Sun San, the yamen servant, couldn't hold back at last, and blurted out: "Master the county magistrate, there are not people outside, but soldiers, soldiers. They all cooperate with horizontal knives, and a total of 20 people are full of murderous intent..."

bang!
