Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

Excitement, fear, anticipation, and worry mixed together, making the expressions on the faces of Jia Xu and the others very complicated. Seeing Hu Liang Hai rushing in, the eyes of the tolerance officers all focused on him in unison.

"Really... caught!", Hu Lianghai's mouth became more and more bitter, "Where is the magistrate?" Apart from this sentence, he really didn't know what to say.

Hu Lianghai's performance made the excitement and anticipation in the brows of the tolerance officers fade a lot, and some faces were more cloudy and worried. No one wanted to answer his words, and finally Jia Xu agreed. "The subordinates have just arrived, and they have already sent someone to report to the county magistrate."

"Okay, okay", after agreeing twice, Hu Lianghai stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the brightly lit lobby became calm again, so when Tang Cheng's hurried footsteps sounded outside It becomes extra clear.

To the surprise of the servants, although the county lord came here in a hurry, his attire was meticulous. From the crown to the official clothes to the official boots under his feet, he was wearing a full set of clothes.

After Tang Cheng came in, he went straight to Xi Ren who was tied up. The tolerance officers on both sides moved away consciously, but everyone's eyes were fixed on him, especially Qian Sanba's eyes were staring like a bull's. The meaning of provocation couldn't be more obvious.

Tang Cheng stood beside Xi Man and looked him over, then turned around and slapped Jia Xu on the shoulder, "Successfully captured the murderer without hurting anyone. Boss Jia did a good job arresting you. I'm waiting for you." Remember a great merit", Tang Cheng couldn't hide his heartfelt joy when he said these words.

He was indeed happy, the time to return to the county was considered good, and just as Hu Lianghai expected, all of this tonight was also planned by him on the way back in the afternoon. Tang Cheng hoped to cause as little shock as possible during the murder process. After all, the murderer lived in the Xi people's gathering area in the city.The reason why Zheng San and Zheng Wu were specifically assigned to go with them was that Tang Cheng's purpose was to let them remind Jia Xu not to be impulsive, and it would be best to go in at night and take people away quietly.

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu, a local snake, was more thoughtful than he thought. He could cleverly use his identity as a fur trader to lure the murderer out of the gathering area and capture him in one fell swoop. The whole process, not to mention hurting people, didn't make any big noises. .

From Tang Cheng's tone of voice to his smile, to his heavy slap on Jia Xu's shoulder, everything clearly expressed his attitude. At this point, the uneasy hearts of the tolerance officers were finally relieved. After catching people, they quickly turned into worries. They were really afraid. If Tang Cheng turned his back on him, what would happen to them small officials... It is really unreasonable for such a thing to happen in the Longmen county government office. Not unusual.

After patting Jia Xu on the shoulder, Tang Cheng stopped his smile and arrived at the newly renovated public case within a few steps, he suddenly picked up Xingmu and patted heavily: "Shengtang!".

Chapter 229 I made the right bet on this shop!

Before Tang Cheng took over, the main hall of Longmen County had been vacant for several months. In fact, even when the former county magistrate was there, every time he was promoted to the hall, he was powerless.It has been a long time since I heard such an imposing Shengtang in Longmen County Yamen. Tang Cheng stopped drinking, and all the servants straightened up involuntarily. Let Hu Lianghai hang out.

"I'm sorry for the Huliang county captain's temporary book record." Tang Cheng looked serious and didn't give Hu Lianghai any chance to speak. As soon as the procedures of the Hongwei Jingtang were completed, the servants immediately patted the gavel wood and said in a deep voice: "Wudu, are you convicted?".

As soon as Tang Cheng's words came out, all the servants were shocked, the county magistrate even knew the name of Xi Man!

Every time Tang Cheng acted unexpectedly, he couldn't help calling Liang Hai to refuse at this time, so he could only reluctantly sit down on the desk placed on the left hand under the official case, temporarily acting as a clerk to record.

"Jia Lao Er, you stupid dog dares to lie to me, I can't spare you." As soon as the gag was pulled out, Xi Manwu immediately roared.

Wudu has lived in Longmen County for a long time, and his Chinese language is not bad. After glaring at Jia Lao Er with vicious eyes, the fellow struggled on the ground and raised his neck and shouted at Tang Cheng behind the case, "How dare you make such a big mistake?" Arrest me, hey, don’t let me go if you can.”

"Whether to let go or not to let go, the official will decide according to the court's law." Tang Cheng's speech and expression were extremely calm when facing the clamor of Wudu. Although he was young, his calm demeanor was worthy of a county The demeanor of the main hall, "Lieutenant Hu Liang, what crime should those who roar in the court be punished according to the law?".

Hu Lianghai was busy recording the conversations in the classroom, when Tang Cheng called him, he was taken aback and said: "Whip ten".

As soon as he said this, a criminal order had been thrown from the case, and there was a crisp sound of "slap" on the floor of the lobby, and then Tang Cheng said in a faint voice: "Beat!".

As soon as the criminal order was issued, Jia Xu took the first step to take down the black oil long whip made according to the regulations of the Ministry of Punishment from the left wall of the courtroom, and walked to Wudu with a sneer. .

"Second Jia, how dare you..." Before Wudu finished his sentence, he was kicked by Jia Xu and fell to the ground. Immediately, he felt a sudden pain in his back, and couldn't help but feel miserable. call out.

One sound after another became louder and louder, and Wu Du couldn't swear any more except screaming at the throat. After ten whips in a row, Jia Xu's forehead was covered with a layer of white sweat.

After taking a long breath, Jia Xu lowered his head and looked at Wudu again, then picked up the order arrow on the ground and bowed to Tang Cheng to pay the order.

Tang Cheng threw the punishment order quickly, and Jia Xu beat him too fast. The ten whips not only made Hu Lianghai look stupid, but this was something he had never thought about before!Even those errands were a little silly, but Wudu's screams... it's so fucking cool!

Wu, whose hands and feet were bound, had nowhere to hide. The ten whips were really hard, and the beating was sweating from exhaustion, let alone the one who was beaten, but this fellow also had A bit stiff, although he couldn't speak clearly because of the pain, but the eyes he looked at Jia Xu and Tang Cheng became more and more vicious.

Seeing his wolf-like eyes, Tang Cheng behind the case twitched his lips and sneered, "Lieutenant Huliang County, if a murderer speaks rudely and insults the court officials, what crime should he be punished according to the law?".

"Slap your mouth ten times, especially the worst ones," Hu Lianghai kept avoiding Wudu's eyes when he answered.

Exactly the same as before, as soon as his words fell, another criminal order flew down from the case, accompanied by Tang Cheng's still voice without a trace of anger, "Twenty palms."

The bamboo board, which was two feet long, wide and three inches thick, was taken down from the wall. This time it was no longer Jia Xu who gave orders. A trace of fear.

However, before he could react, a yellow light flashed in front of his eyes, and the yellowish black bamboo board had already been beaten down heavily. This time Wu couldn't even scream, and was beaten back before the sound came out. .

The sound of slapping was endless, and by the time the last board was played, Wu's face was covered with blood, and the whole beaten mouth was red and blood was dripping down. Let go, this fellow fell limply to the ground with a cough, and he spit out as many as [-] or [-] broken teeth in addition to blood. Just because of a word of cursing Tang Cheng, Wu Du was really beaten up looking for teeth all over the place. .

Seeing Xi Manzi, who used to be arrogant and arrogant in Longmen County, being beaten like this, all the servants felt relieved at first. They have been holding it back for so many years, and today they finally let out a lot of sullen breath, but it’s enough to wait. After that, the uneasiness in my heart also arose, arresting people was already a big deal, and they beat people like this, after the other Xiren knew about it...

I don't dare to think about this fact. All the servants know one thing. Now they are completely tied to Tang Cheng. Although he was the one who ordered the arrest and beating, after all, it was himself and others who did it. There is something that no one can escape.

"Okay", Tang Cheng was not in a hurry to put the sentencing order returned by the tolerance back into the wooden order pot, but fondled it between his fingers, "The murderer in the street injured Du Xingshan, causing him serious injuries, Wudu, you know the crime ?”.

At this moment, Wudu could no longer be tough. In the final analysis, he was a merchant, and he was not really a tough guy. The front was just a domineering one who had not turned a corner for a while. After these two rounds, his current His eyes just stared at Tang Cheng's hand, or more precisely, at the punishment order Tang Cheng was fondling in his hand. Seeing that the arrows spinning many tricks in his hand suddenly stopped, his whole body trembled suddenly. Although Wudu couldn't speak a whole sentence, but the speed of nodding was indeed not slow at all.

It wasn't until the punishment order in Tang Cheng's hand was inserted back into the order pot that Wu Du stopped and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

After the execution order was released, Tang Cheng stepped down from the case to Hu Lianghai, picked up his book and read it, then walked slowly to Wudu.

"There are so many witnesses to the crime on the street, whether you recognize this officer or not, you can have a solid evidence against you. It's just that the Ministry of Criminal Justice didn't move you and you were recruited. You are a hero. You really disappointed this officer!", After Tang Cheng said these words lightly, he loosened his fingers, and the paper book fluttered down in front of Wudu, "Huabao!".

Wu Du, who was tied up, resisted kneeling and pressed a few bright red fingerprints on the bibliography with the blood from his own mouth. He was afraid, and the law was like a furnace. , but since Tang Cheng was promoted to the court for interrogation, as long as he did not confess for a moment, Tang Cheng had the right to concoct all punishments on him.Just looking at the instruments of torture hanging on the wall made him feel his whole body tense, he was really scared!

"Drag the murderer under custody, and determine the criminal responsibility when the victim arrives tomorrow." Picking up the document that Wudu had drawn, Tang Cheng smiled and went back to the case to sit down, then picked up the gavel and clapped it again, "Retire Church!".

The whole process took less than three sticks of incense, and the murderer pleaded guilty in court. The effect of Tang Cheng's first promotion in his life was perfect, he followed the law and was clean.

As soon as the court retreated, Hu Lianghai rushed over without waiting for Tang Cheng to get up, and spread out the official reply document from the official department in front of Tang Cheng.

"Huliang County Lieutenant is really returning home", Tang Cheng teased, but there was no delay in his hand. He reached out for a fine pen and countersigned his name on the official document, and then grabbed the official seal placed on the desk Pressed down hard.

"Thank you, my lord, for your fulfillment." This time, Hu Lianghai was completely relieved, and even before the ink and ink pads were dry, he picked up the document and turned around impatiently to leave.

"Wait a minute", Tang Cheng smiled knowingly at Hu Lianghai who turned his head, "The night is deep, and the city gate is closed early. If there is no order from the county to stamp the official seal, it may not be easy for Mr. Hu Liang to leave the city overnight", said When finished, he took a piece of bamboo paper and bowed his head to write.

When Tang Cheng handed this decree to Hu Lianghai, his face could no longer restrain himself from flushing.

……

When Tang Cheng sent Hu Lianghai to the gate of the county government office and turned back, the courtroom was still brightly lit, and none of the thirteen servants including Jia Xu left, they just looked at him quietly.

After looking past the thirteen excited and worried officials one by one, Tang Cheng smiled slightly and said, "The celebration banquet will be postponed for a few days. You can go home immediately and bring your family members to the county government for resettlement. It’s only two days, and you don’t need to bring much belongings.” Although what he said was not easy at all, his calmness calmed down the chaotic minds of the people on duty, “Mr. .

It was said that the servants had nothing extra to say, and went out of the courtroom silently. After the previous incident, Tang Cheng, who had been in office for nearly a month, felt for the first time the feeling of being a chief officer.

"After you bring your family and settle down later, you go to the warehouse and take out all the bows." Seeing Jia Xu's face turned pale when he heard this, Tang Cheng smiled and whispered a few words in his ear. Then he specially instructed: "Except for the 12 people just now, this matter is strictly forbidden to be leaked." After finishing speaking, Tang Cheng didn't wait for Jia Xu to say anything, and went to the inner office through the small door in the left corner of the courtroom. .

Tang Cheng's whispered words had so much magical power, Jia Xu's pale face recovered instantly after hearing this, and he watched Tang Cheng's back disappear at the small door, and when he turned around, he clenched his fist fiercely, "Damn it! , I finally saw the right person, I bet right on this shop!".

That night, the county government remained in a commotion until the middle of the night before it really quieted down. The next morning, when the clerks on a monthly salary wandered to the Yamen, they felt vaguely that today’s county government seems to be a little different from the past. No matter how you look at those tolerances, there is something wrong with them, just seeing these people for just one day, they look full of energy like chicken blood.

How fresh!

This was not the only thing that was new, and then they noticed that the empty yards in the yamen were filled with people overnight, and they were all family members of the tolerance officers; this inexplicable energy has not passed , Another explosive news came again-the county captain Hu Lianghai left Longmen County last night, and the new county magistrate, who hadn't seen anyone a few days ago, has officially arrived at the Yamen.

The matter of the Du family being beaten clearly hasn't been settled yet, so why did he come here?

It has been so many years, the Longmen county government has remained unchanged like stagnant water, and the civil servants have long been accustomed to this situation. I don't know what kind of evil nature has arisen in this place, and one after another, surprises follow one after another. So much so that when there was a quarrel in the courtyard where the officials were, these civil servants rushed over without even thinking about it.

"I'm sorry, my brothers. It was an order from the county lord to dismiss all of you. Don't blame the brothers for being ruthless. From now on, everyone in this office will not be able to enter again." Saying these words, the clerks flocking here almost went crazy. The new county magistrate actually dismissed Lao Du and his fifteen errands at once, and Jia Laoer and other young errands actually complied with this order , This... This is really fucking... What happened to the Longmen County Government?

I just caught a glimpse of the excitement here, and when I was still in a daze, I heard a commotion outside, good guy, the Du family didn't know where they got the news of the new county magistrate's return so quickly, the four brothers with big arms and round waists actually The old man who was really injured and still not healed rushed into the county office aggressively, followed by a large number of people who joined in the fun.

The Longmen county government, which has been stagnant for many years, really became lively on the first day when the new county magistrate officially entered the government!

Chapter 2 Thirty: The sky thundered, everyone was shocked!

What happened last night is over. Old Du, who was dizzy from drinking too much, forgot what happened last night as soon as he got home, ball!After all, he is also a veteran, so how can he not know the market in the county government?Don't try to be serious about anything, Qian Sanba and the others can't stand it, let them toss around if they can't be provoked, there will always be a time when they will be uncomfortable on the back of a tiger, no one has ever been young, and he hasn't hit the south wall a few times How can you understand the world without suffering some big losses?

With the same heart, the people who came out with Lao Du were all the older ones in the tolerance, because they all had similar ideas, so they didn't say much, and they left the Longmen Inn and said goodbye after arriving at the intersection.The things in the Accord just now were blown away by the night wind.

"Close the door, don't let the heat out of the room. Why, someone is willing to treat you to a drink tonight? It's strange." After taking a shower and changing into light clothes, the whole family saw Lao Du coming in with fluttering footsteps, and put down the needle and thread in his hand Muttered a few words.

"Not only are people invited to drink, but also the new county lord." People say that women look the most beautiful under the lights, under the flowers, and under the moon. This sentence really makes sense. , the guy who just took a bath under the oil lamp is actually much more beautiful than usual, especially when he saw the white fleshy arm that was not clearly concealed in the big sleeve, the dry mouth and tongue of Old Du I felt a sudden hotness in my body, I hooked the door behind my back and touched the couch.

"Needle... damn old man, you're not a person if you drink three cups of yellow soup..." My wife's complaints didn't last long, and as Lao Du impatiently blew out the oil lamp, it penetrated into the moonlight room soon Yiyi Yaya, Huhuhehe's loving voice sounded.

This night, Lao Du was very ambitious and extremely brave. He only groaned and lost his voice several times. After the battle, he slept soundly. His blushing made him feel a little embarrassed, but his mood this day was actually much better than usual.

In a good mood, old Du relished the cheese cakes brought by his two daughters-in-law, and drank a bowl of brown sugar tea specially made for him by his wife. At this time, sugar was an expensive and scary rare item, and the sugar jar was locked The key to the box is always with the family, don't even think about it when it's not the New Year's Eve, it seems that it was last night... Hehe, Old Du, who was satisfied with a smile, walked leisurely to the office after eating and drinking.

When he arrived at the yamen, he was caught off guard by the news that the new county magistrate had dismissed him like a bolt from the blue. Lao Du's good mood all night and morning came to an abrupt end. I felt that Nao Renzi suddenly started to sway. Is this still the Longmen County Government?How come the vision of seeing things in the world after so many years suddenly became inaccurate?What exactly happened here?

The errands who followed Lao Du last night were first startled and then annoyed, the noise is inevitable, and the noise that attracted the swarms of civil servants came from this, but let them quarrel and scold Jia Xu without retaliating , but he also did not move his legs to give in.It was the same sentence that came and went, "This is the oral order of Tang Xianzun, and you don't need to enter the messenger room anymore."

Seeing that Jia Laoer, who arrived later than himself, put on a decisive and unyielding posture in the Longmen County Yamen, the resentment in the hearts of the old servants became more and more intense, and they didn't understand. Tang Danhui, who has only been in office for one day, has so much ability, and how many evil methods he has used, that he can make Jia Xu so determined in just one night that he even ignores his love for more than ten years.What's even more annoying is that not only him, but even Qian Sanba and other bastards didn't come out to speak for them.

changed!Although he was still yelling and cursing, Lao Du could clearly feel that the Longmen county government that he was very familiar with had really changed.

They were arguing fiercely here, and the mighty Du family also came from the other side, with four sons with big arms and round waists leading the way. Apart from the relatives of the Du family, there were more common people who came to see the fun.

Perhaps this is the only advantage of the cowardly county government. Not only can it create excitement, but it can also watch the excitement at will. If it weren't for Longmen, Ren Mantianxia would change the county government at will, and ordinary people would come here as much as they want ?

The old servants were arguing, and the butcher's son of Du's family was arguing, and the people who followed the crowd were giggling. Although it was in the county government office, there was still a little majesty of the county government office there. It's even more lively.

"The Lord of the county has arrived", the noisy and smoky scene did not calm down temporarily until after Laifu sang a salute. The crowd crowded in the front half of the county government office was like a lake blown by a strong wind. The voice went to see the new county magistrate who made his official debut for the first time.

Wearing a Jinde crown, wearing a seventh-rank blue official robe, and wearing black-faced and white-soled deep-waisted official boots, the new Longmen County Magistrate Tang Cheng came from the back of the Yamen in a neat suit. Tailored like a close-fitting fit to accentuate his slender stature, with a bookish calmness between his brows, coupled with the perfect background of the rising sun behind him, Tang Cheng's first appearance in the eyes of everyone was unintentional. There is a gorgeous visual effect in the room.

Over the years, the authority of the Longmen County Government has been completely defeated. Under such a background, don't expect to see the sight of the people in Yunxi County being completely silent as soon as the Lixian Zun comes out, let alone bowing down and saluting.After the extremely short period of silence, the crowd immediately became more lively, and the noisy topic was naturally inseparable from the new county magistrate.

"What a handsome man, sister-in-law Wang, do you think he looks better than the little Minglun intellectual from Fayin Temple?".

"Ming Lun is good-looking, but he looks like a big girl, but this county magistrate has the stamina that a man should have, tsk tsk, and his walking power, Ming Lun is worse."

"Hey, you've reached the seventh rank at this young age! Old Wang, there have been many county lords who have come and gone like lanterns in the county government over the years, and this age must be counted as the youngest."

"We must count him! I heard that this is a Jinshi who has read a great book, and his name was hung in front of the palace where the emperor Lao Tzu lived. Think about how glorious this is!".

A solid young man in the crowd stared at his favorite Cuihua and at the new county magistrate, he couldn't bear to turn his eyes away. It was clear that he had passed by and his neck hadn't turned back yet. He suddenly said with sour hatred in his heart: "Ball, you are so tall!" What’s so good? So what if he has read a great book? He still can’t hold his hand in Longmen County, just wait and see, he’ll have to leave in less than half a year.”

As soon as he said this, the people around laughed, "You young man is so ridiculous, who really pointed at him and made a lot of noise, no matter what, he is better than the previous Sun Paradox who looks like a dead wife when he shows his face Hurry up, that guy looks dejected!"

"Sister Cuihua, do you think he looks like the romantic scholar that the monks of Fayin Temple often tell stories about?" Just from the voice, one could tell that the person shaking Cuihua's sleeve was an unmarried young woman, "Oh! Those butchers in the Du family are vicious, so how can I scare him?"

……

Tang Cheng turned a deaf ear to these lively and exciting discussions, and followed the automatically avoided crowd to the front of the old businessmen.

Looking at the angry old servants with white froth hanging from the corners of their mouths, and then looking at Jia Xu who was guarding the door of the servant's room, Tang Cheng nodded appreciatively, and did not talk about what happened last night. In such a harsh environment in Longmen County, he was able to achieve this step compared to his senior colleagues, which is enough to show that this Jia Xu is a promising talent.

As soon as he came over, he was immediately surrounded by the old servants who had let go of Jia Xu, and asked Tang Cheng angrily why and why he fired them.

When the old servants were chattering angrily, Tang Cheng just stood with his hands behind his back and didn't say a word. He didn't say a word until they all fell silent, and then said coldly: "Why? Just because I'm from Longmen County Order, the appointment of personnel below the autonomous register in the county government is all decided by the county, what status do you want to explain to you?".

Not only the old servants paid close attention to Tang Cheng's answer, as the first sentence he uttered after his appearance, the people around him also listened carefully. The people who understood it were even more stunned. This little county magistrate's words... were so tough.

Seeing that the faces of the old servants were so red that they wanted to say more, Tang Cheng, who was impatient to be surrounded by people here, became colder and colder, "As a servant, it is disloyal to be afraid of the enemy when he is catching thieves; It is unrighteous for the elders to know that their younger colleagues are in danger but not to help them. What is the use of such an unloyal and unjust person to stay in your office? You have the face to make trouble!".

In this regard, the old servants could no longer say anything, and the curious and puzzled eyes of the crowd watching the excitement made them feel ashamed. When they scolded Jia Xu just now, they were still confident, but now when they look at him again, they feel a little embarrassed. Faint, yeah, why didn't they go last night?Isn't it just estimating that there will be trouble and danger.

"Nian Er has been in the county government for many years, and the official made an exception to allow you to receive another three months of monthly salary. Disperse quickly, and if you make trouble again, it will all be cancelled." Tang Cheng didn't bother to look at them after he finished speaking, although It's a pity to be expelled at such an age, but if you want to show your ambitions and change this old and dead Longmen County, these people who only want to dawdle must be cleaned up.How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house? How can you talk about cleaning up the entire Longmen County if you can't clean up a Longmen county government office?After more than two years of kicking and struggling, he finally grasped a starting point to practice his ideals. Now Tang Cheng will never be soft when he should be ruthless.

After waving his hands to signal that the conversation was over, Tang Cheng left the group of old businessmen and went straight to the four brothers of the Du family.

At this time, the brothers of the Du family had already put the old father Du Xingshan who had been brought up on the ground. Although Du Xingshan was lying on the bed surrounded by bedding, but the weather was too cold and his injuries were not healed. After all this tossing, it was still uncomfortable. His face was bruised and purple, and he hummed softly, neither sitting nor lying down.

After looking carefully at Du Xingshan, he raised his head and scanned the four brothers of the Du family who were full of flesh. Tang Cheng then turned and walked towards the main hall, "Jia Xu, you are promoted!".

Those who were close in the crowd heard it with their own ears, and those who were far away also heard about Tang Cheng's punishment of the old servants from other people's noisy reports. Although they still didn't understand what was going on, they I also felt the difference in this small county magistrate to some extent. He dismissed more than a dozen senior tolerances as soon as he took office, and he was so ruthless in his words. As a result, their curiosity grew stronger, and they just waited to see how to take care of the Du family.As soon as Tang Cheng shouted to be promoted, these people immediately flocked to the court, and the people outside the county government who saw or heard about this excitement were still rushing and squeezing this way.

If you want to say that those who reacted the most to this promotion are those civil servants. Although they are also ignorant and don't know the inside story, the fact that more than a dozen old businessmen have been fired can't be seen more clearly. Regardless of whether the new county magistrate is a second-hander or not!At this time, who dared to hit him with a knife, Tang Cheng was shocked, and these people ran around like a nest, especially the clerk who was in charge of the record, wishing that his parents would have two more legs and stand in the crowd. Unstoppable in rushing from the center to the left and rushing to the right, I am afraid that after arriving a little late, the new county magistrate will kill him as a chicken to scare monkeys.

All the common people crowded the auditorium outside the fence at the entrance of the court. Inside, Du Xingshan was lying down, and his four sons were standing beside him. After Hongwei quieted the hall, Tang Cheng slapped the gavel and shouted in a deep voice: "Kneel down!".

Following Tang Cheng's yell, the hatchback tolerance yelled in unison, and the water and fire sticks in their hands made a neat sound on the blue brick floor. Standing on the Huanghuang court, the four brothers of the Du family twisted twice and finally knelt down according to the rules. go.

The scene in front of me was obviously different from the promotion of the former county magistrates when they were young. After seeing the brothers of the Du family kneeling down, the crowd outside the fence gave a neat praise, "So powerful!".

"Come on, tie these four people up for me."

At this moment, everyone inside and outside the hall was stunned. What does this mean?The first one to jump up was the boss of the Du family with a trembling face, and said with a straight neck: "The grassroots are here to avenge their grievances, why should your lord tie us up?"

Tang Cheng ignored the clamor of Boss Du and the crowd outside, but only said one word, "Tie!", and ordered again. When even four tolerances came over, Boss Du, who was gritting his teeth, was about to struggle violently, so he listened. The tolerances on both sides shouted again, and the water and fire sticks that had just stopped slammed on the ground.

After looking at the water and fire sticks in the hands of the servants and Tang Cheng's bright official clothes after the case, Boss Du yelled at his younger brothers, "Let them tie them up, so many neighbors face to face, the adults must give my brother a verdict."

Those four tolerances did the job really neatly, and tied the four of them tightly in three or two strokes.

"You are tied up because you are unfilial." Tang Cheng, who is in charge of the case, pointed at Du Xingshan with his hand, "Your father is old and has not recovered from serious injuries. He should lie in bed for nine cold days in order to recover soon. But you are trying to succeed." I don't care about this at all, I just look at your father's pain and cold at this moment, can I be wronged if I judge you for being unfilial?".

Du Xingshan, who was lying on the bed, was in pain and cold, and his face was blue and purple. He looked really pitiful. After hearing Tang Cheng's verdict, the old man suppressed his groans for fear of implicating his son, so the expression on his face became more and more serious. Painful, seeing him like this, the noise of the crowd outside the fence suddenly became much quieter, the county magistrate was right, Du Xingshan was old and injured, how could he bear this crime in such cold weather, although it was for the purpose of suing, but The actions of the Du family brothers are really ill-considered, they can't sue and even kill the old man just for the sake of anger!Especially the old people in the crowd couldn't help nodding and sighing when they heard the verdict.

When Boss Du saw this, he yelled: "The grassroots are trying to avenge their grievances, so they have to do this."

"You still dare to quibble", Tang Cheng slapped the gavel suddenly, "Your father has sons, why do you need to go to court in person with his body? If you still need to come forward to appeal for grievances if you are so sick, then it will be difficult for him to give birth to four sons like you." What's the use? Ask yourself, is it a last resort or an attempt to show off your father's complaint? If you dare to quibble, I will fulfill you a crime of disobedience."

Hearing the word "disobedience", not only Boss Du's whole body was shocked, but also the crowd outside the fence gasped suddenly. Although unfilial piety and disobedience both mean the same thing, but the difference in severity is too great. Even though these people have little education, they know that disobedience is one of the top ten felonies of treason just like rebellion, and such a felony is sure to be beheaded!

Hearing this, even Du Xingshan couldn't hold back, struggling to get up from the bed, Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and said in a warm voice when he saw this, "You sons are too high-spirited, I just punished you a little bit as a warning. Xiaoyou, I don’t need to worry.”

So far Boss Du has nothing else to say, "I'll wait for it."

"It's unfilial for you to ignore your father so much. According to the law, I sentenced you to ten lashes as a punishment. Is it acceptable?".

"Clothes".
