strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 35 [Reckless county magistrate, tease him]

In the ancient yamen trial, you can also listen in, and even specially invite the people to come over, allowing the people to watch outside the court.

Onlookers mean supervision.

At the same time, it also has the meaning of deterrence.

This is not only to reflect the justice and strictness, but also to popularize the court laws for the people, but the most important point is to shock people's hearts during the trial.

The intention is obvious, it is to tell the people, don't break the law, you will be caught if you break the law, the law is strict, and there is no room for chance.

And the folks are all the same when it comes to watching the excitement, no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, people are naturally curious, and the more lively they are, the more they want to join in...

Therefore, whenever the yamen tried a case, there was no need to send someone out to greet it, the common people would flock to the yamen themselves, crowding at the yamen's entrance in a lively and extraordinary manner.

Especially today, it is said that there is a big case to be tried, and it is the new head arrester who led all the yamen servants to solve the case of Sunjiazhuang outside the city overnight.

Oh my goodness, four of the murderers were caught and brought back.

When the county magistrate is promoted to the hall, the interrogation will be very lively, maybe there will be a big torture, and the prisoner will cry with water and fire sticks...

If you can see such a scene, there will be topics and people talking about it for half a month.

The people were looking forward to it, and they were a little excited.

……

Just the murder case in Sunjiazhuang has already excited the hearts of the people.

However, today may be lucky, the county government is likely to interrogate two cases in a row.It is said that someone came early in the morning and rang the grievance drum before the Yamen.

Beating drums to cry out grievances is not necessarily grievances.

For example, there was a dispute between the villages, or two villages fought over water, and after hundreds of people fought, they found that they couldn't do anything to each other...

At this time, if the clan elders of the two villages cannot reach an agreement, they will go to the county government office together to beat the Yaqian drum.

The drum in front of the Yamen is not necessarily a complaint. When the common people need to uphold justice, the law also allows the people to beat the drum to ask for help from the county government...

But this is the usual situation, but today is different. It is said that a woman came over early in the morning and beat the Yaqian drum crying.

As for why drums?

Said to report!
However, I don't know what specific case was reported because I haven't been promoted yet, and because I don't know what the case is for the time being, the people are more and more curious and uncomfortable.

It is human nature to be curious, like monkeys scratching their ears and cheeks, or like ants rolling around on a hot pan. The sense of urgency can be called torment.

Fortunately, the people did not suffer for too long.

……

The county magistrate is finally here!
And there are several people behind him.

All are important figures in the county government.

First of all, the county magistrate...

Followed by the county lieutenant...

Behind him is a middle-aged scribe with a pale face, and the common people all know him as the teacher of Yicheng.

Boy, the scene is big enough.

All the four giants of the county government were present. As expected, today's case is not trivial.

However, the sharp-eyed commoners noticed that there was a person behind the four giants, and immediately whispered to each other, asking about the identity of this person.

They soon learned from each other that this person was the new head arrester, and it was he who led the yamen servants out of the city last night and solved the case of Sunjiazhuang overnight.

Great!

Such a headhunter must be powerful!
However, it's great to be great, and there is one thing that makes the common people very puzzled.

The reason is that although the head-hunting position is considered to be in the forefront of the county government, the head-hunting is not considered a real official, but a half-official and half-official nature, and is not qualified to accompany the four giants to the promotion.

But looking at the situation in front of him, it is completely beyond the understanding of the common people. Not only did the new chief catcher follow him into the court, but also the yamen servant hurriedly brought him a chair...

Even looking at the position of the chair, it was surprisingly placed on the county lieutenant's side.

County lieutenant, that's the third person in the county.

The seat on the side next to him should belong to teaching, right?However, looking at the situation in front of him, the position of teaching and metaphor has actually moved down.

Doesn't it mean that the new head arrester's level is even higher than that of Jiaoyu?
The original four giants of the county government have now become the five giants, and the ranking of the teachings has been degraded, and it has become the youngest of the last...

What's even more bizarre is that when the county lieutenant saw Catcher sitting next to him, he got up and saluted, and called uncle!
And with a respectful tone, he asked very solemnly: "Uncle Zhang, how about we change seats? You sit in my chair, and my nephew sits in yours..."

Even the county magistrate, the second largest, smiled and said kindly, "If Brother Zhang feels that the county magistrate's chair is not suitable, then my second child's chair is also fine."

Guys, what's going on here?
The common people were amazed to see it, and they all felt that it was the right time to come to see the excitement today.

At this moment, a crisp sound was suddenly heard, but it was the county magistrate who slapped the gavel and looked at the people fiercely.

"Quiet, please don't make any noise."

At the beginning, it was still an elegant and decent official language, but the last sentence was directly swearing.

"You bastard, Mahler, if you dare to quarrel, get out of here."

"It's hard for me to be promoted once, I see which grandson is bluffing at the door?"

He is obviously a county magistrate, so proficient in swearing!
However, the people of Yicheng have long been used to it, and instead gathered around the door to fight back, laughing and laughing, saying one after another: "Master County Magistrate, you look like a bandit today!"

Some people were bolder and joked directly: "Why don't you become an official and take us to stop the robbery. As long as you stop on the road, you don't need to say a few words, and you can guarantee that people passing by will be scared." Fucking shit, trembling and handing over the toll..."

But the people who faced the counterattack, the county magistrate stared at him immediately, and cursed: "The one who married your daughter-in-law made me become a bandit. I am a dignified county magistrate, and I am from the royal family of Yunguo. I will No matter how unpromising he is, he won't be a bandit blocking the way."

He scolded very fiercely, and the flesh on his face was also fierce, but the people laughed more and more, teasing him one after another: "If you don't want to be a bandit blocking the road, then what kind of bandit do you want to be?"

This is just passing the word and deliberately tricking the county magistrate.

However, the reckless magistrate didn't suspect him, instead he grinned and laughed, and said quite proudly: "If I want to be a bandit, at least I want to be a giant bandit. Village Lord, show off your might..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the common people, hummed twice, and said, "But if I let Lao Tzu block the way to rob, do that kind of unscrupulous dirty thing, and get into your daughter-in-law, it's obviously looking down on me."

The people laughed and teased him even more: "Want to marry our wife? Can you do it, magistrate? Don't look at your mighty appearance, but it's a pity that you are a 17-year-old boy?"

"Dare to say that I can't?"

The county magistrate was furious.

There was booing at the door of the courtroom.

This kind of weird scene is simply unimaginable.

The dignified county magistrate quarreled with the people, and the foul language in his mouth was unofficial. If the inspectors of the imperial court knew about it, they would be impeached immediately.

But Zhang Jingxu watched coldly, but vaguely felt that there was an expert behind the county magistrate.

Demonstrate official authority to officials and subordinates.

Intersect and become one with the people.

Since ancient times, if an official can achieve this step, the Wanmin Umbrella, which represents the hearts of the people, must be at his fingertips.

It can be seen that the county magistrate's move is quite profound.

If he doesn't have expert guidance behind him, this kind of method may be elusive for the younger grader.Especially this guy is still a reckless guy, he hardly has any city.

So, who is the expert behind this pointing?

Subconsciously, Zhang Jingxu thought of the old butler of the county government's back house.

However, just as he was wondering in his heart, he heard the county lieutenant sitting next to him smile wryly, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhang, you don't need to guess deeply, my cousin is just like that. It’s not advanced, he’s just...born like this.”

uh-huh?

Zhang Jingxu was slightly taken aback.

Born this way?

Isn't that hob meat?
He couldn't believe it...
