Chapter 249 I want to see the county magistrate
The white snow shows no sign of stopping, and everything in the world is covered in white, pure white.
In the heavy snow, a group of people were marching hard in the wind and snow. The leader was a carriage, followed by several people. Sitting in the car were Huang Chandian and the servants who were working in shifts, followed by the government servants and the controlled Yang Dacheng and Zhu Pingan, and finally the hostess and the children she led.
"I'm sorry, little brother. I'll make it clear when the time comes and you can leave. It's just that I pity my wife and children." Yang Dacheng limped on the snow, apologizing. Said to Zhu Pingan.
Yang Dacheng had his hands tied with ropes by the government officials. He looked at his wife and children who were following him with some distress, and sighed.
Yang Dacheng and Zhu Ping'an were taken away by Huang Chandian's order. Yang Dacheng's daughter-in-law volunteered to follow them. She was worried about Yang Dacheng, so she went to the county government office to testify and help her husband. As for the naughty child, he also took the initiative to follow, and the hostess also agreed. It would be easier to take care of him if he followed.
"Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, Brother Yang, don't be too sad." Zhu Ping'an advised.
"Alas." Yang Dacheng just sighed.
For Zhu Pingan's comfort, Yang Dacheng was grateful, but he didn't take it seriously. Based on his judgment, I'm afraid it's going to be bad this time. This weasel is the most ruthless. Alas, he just hates himself for not being able to make him a supporter. He pities his wife and children. If something happens to him, what should they do? Do it.
It was windy and snowy all the way.
Yang Dacheng's village was not too far from the county seat. They walked in the wind and snow for about an hour before entering the county seat.
"Tongcheng County"
There are three words engraved on the county wall, which are the name of this county, Tongcheng County. Tongcheng County and Huaining County both belong to Anqing Prefecture, but Tongcheng County is farther north. Tongcheng has a long history, and its citizens are civilized. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the number of Jinshi and Juren in Xi'an has exceeded the total number of Jinshi and Juren in the five counties of Huaining, Qianshan, Taihu, Susong, and Wangjiang that also belong to Anqing Prefecture. More than double.
So. People like Xia Luoming in Tongcheng were so arrogant back then.
After entering the county seat, Zhu Ping'an and Yang Dacheng were led directly towards the county government office by Huang Chandian and the guards.
The county government office is located on the north side of the county seat. Nearby the county government office, Huang Chandian and the officials are even more aggressive, as if the tiger has returned to its own territory.
The county government office is quite large. In front of the gate is a tall and large "Xuanhua" archway, which is very conspicuous. On the front of the archway are engraved the four words "Tongcheng Guzhi", which is intended to illustrate that Tongcheng County has a long history. Good governance. "Xuanhua" means propaganda and enlightenment of the people. In the old days, the role of this Xuanhua Archway was equivalent to today's government press conference. Every year, the county magistrate would give a speech here at a fixed time to convey the imperial court's will and educate the people. In general, he would talk about what he has done this year and what he will do next year. What is the key point, what the emperor said, what instructions the superiors gave, what the people should do, etc.
There is another conspicuous thing in front of the county government office, which is a very large drum, also known as the "grievance drum". When people have grievances, they can beat this drum and declare their grievances to the county magistrate.
As he walked to the door, Yang Dacheng suddenly felt a burst of strength. Regardless of his tied hands, he went to the "Injustice Drum" to beat the drum to complain.
"Damn it, Yang Laizi, don't toast me and you'll be punished with a fine drink." A guard grabbed Yang Dacheng's arm. He cursed fiercely.
"I want to beat the drum to complain and ask the county master to seek justice." Yang Dacheng shouted loudly.
“You think the county master is someone you can meet whenever you want. The county master is busy with everything, how can he have time to see you? Take them directly to the prison.” Huang Chandian touched his mustache and said to Several guards ordered.
"Okay." A policeman responded and thought for a while. He took out a dirty rag from his pocket, stuffed it into Yang Dacheng's mouth, and then pulled it into the county government office.
The ancient prisons were located in the county government offices, generally in the southwest of the county government offices. This is why the prisons were called Nanjian. The prisons were guarded by government officials.
"Dacheng."
The hostess was heartbroken. I wanted to follow him in, but was blocked by the guards.
"This is not a place you can enter, haha. If you want your husband and brother to come out early, go and beg our Mr. Huang, and you will definitely have a chance."
Servant The hostess spat at what she said, and then she led the children to the drum of injustice, and picked up the drum hammer to beat it.
“Hey, hey, stay away, you can’t touch this.”
A clerk on duty who was looking at the gate of the county government saw it and stepped forward to stop him. The hostess then rudely drove her away to prevent her from complaining.
Hahaha
The officers escorting Yang Dacheng burst into laughter at this. They really came from the countryside and really thought that the yamen was vegetarian.
"Okay, take them to the prison and lock them up first. When the county master has time, we will report to him."
Huang Chan looked at it with disdain. Looking at Yang Dacheng, he waved his hand and ordered the officers to quickly bring Yang Dacheng and Zhu Ping'an to the police. He was sent to the county jail, then turned to the hostess and said, "Brothers and sisters, come to me if you need anything. They all know where I am, and you can ask anyone. It's not easy for you, so if you can help me, I will I’ll help.”
“Let’s go!”
The officer pushed Yang Dacheng toward the county government office. Another officer wanted to push Zhu Pingan. Zhu Pingan took two steps forward and walked to the gate of the county government office.
"Yohe, this nerd is quite obedient."
The officer who originally wanted to push Zhu Pingan laughed when he saw this. The other officers also made fun of Zhu Pingan. I am afraid that this nerd is He didn't know how powerful prison was, but he would cry when he got there.
"I want to see the county magistrate."
In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Pingan walked to the door and said to the official on duty at the door.
I want to see the county magistrate.
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter. This nerd still hasn’t understood what happened just now. These accusations of injustice were not made by you. He also said that he wanted to see the county magistrate. He really lost his mind by reading.
Yang Dacheng also looked at Zhu Ping'an helplessly. My wife and I tried it just now, but it didn't work. The hostess held the child and watched from a distance. She was also not optimistic about Zhu Pingan's behavior, and she was also a little worried. This little brother really read too much and didn't know how dark the reality is.
"The county magistrate is the one you can meet whenever you want. Just go and stay in your prison!"
The officials on duty at the door, Huang Chandian and other officials were all They were acquaintances. As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, the official on duty couldn't help but laugh at him.
"I'm sorry, Liu Tou, I've caused you trouble." Huang Chandian said with a smile, "When these unscrupulous people are put in jail, I'll treat you to a drink."
" Hahaha, this is what you said." The officer on duty laughed.
The yamen gate was full of joy, and in a few words, Zhu Ping'an and others were characterized as unruly people.
"I want to see the county magistrate."
Then someone still ruined the harmonious atmosphere and repeated what he just said.
Are you stupid? Didn't you just say that you think the county magistrate is something you can meet whenever you can? ! The officer on duty looked sideways at Zhu Pingan.
Huang Zandian also had a dark face. This stupid scholar must have become stupid in reading. Why can't he understand the situation!
The officer in charge of Zhu Pingan hurried forward to clean up Zhu Pingan. He had all the torn socks ready. He planned to go up and stuff the torn socks into Zhu Pingan's mouth, and then give him three or two kicks to make him He knows what it means to open the yamen gate to the south. This nerd can't do it without fighting.
“I want to see the county magistrate.”
Zhu Ping’an repeated again.
"What the hell are you?" The officer on duty turned pale and opened his mouth to curse, but he was choked up in the middle of his words, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of food.
Because Zhu Pingan stood in front of the officer on duty with a voucher stamped with the Guanfang official defense seal and various official seals, and then looked at him with a smile.
"What the hell is wrong with me?"
Zhu Pingan asked with a gentle smile on his face, his lips raised, his teeth whiter than snow.
The officer on duty had a face like a swallow. This change came so suddenly that he was not prepared at all. His face twitched and he suddenly squeezed out a flower from his anger.
"You're so stupid."
This change was so fast that the officer in charge of Zhu Pingan didn't notice it at all. As soon as Zhu Pingan finished speaking, this guy picked up the conversation and scolded him. This is It's a good time to be close to Liutou, haha, I did it.
After saying that, this guy came up with the smelly socks and was about to stuff them into Zhu Pingan's mouth.
“You are so stupid.”
At this moment, the officer on duty suddenly rushed to the officer who came forward, cursed loudly, and then followed It's a big mouth that keeps ringing.
This
What's going on?
The officer holding the smelly socks was dumbfounded by the officer on duty and the scolding from the shop owner. Huang Chandian and several other officers below were also dumbfounded. , of course the Yang Dacheng family is even more stupid. (End of this chapter)
