"Boom, boom, boom..."
In the study room in the inner hall of Wuzhou Prefecture.
"Who came here to play drums without opening their eyes?" Yuan Meide, the magistrate of Wuzhou, said irritably as he listened to the sound of drums coming from outside the government office.
At this moment, when Yuan Meide was being touched by the three-inch golden lotus, Xinna's concubine really said in a cooing voice: "Master, this drumming sound... oh... Master, don't do it anymore. Master, don't go to the hall!"
"Hey, as expected, the three-inch golden lotus really won my heart. It's so beautiful when I hold it in my hand." Yuan Meide's heart was filled with excitement as he listened to his concubine's cooing sound.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
The drumbeat continues
"Master..." the concubine continued to cry.
"Who is the one who wants to die and is still knocking!" Yuan Meide cursed angrily at the door.
"Little baby, put on your shoes and socks quickly. I will come back to deal with you after I finish the front."
With that said, Yuan Meide reluctantly stroked the concubine's three-inch golden lotus again, and said to her softly and lustfully.
"I'm good or bad... I just bully others. Then I'll go back to the inner courtyard and wait for you." The concubine said while wearing shoes and socks.
"good."
There was a knock on the door
"Come in." Yuan Meide shouted to the door after seeing the concubine who had put on her shoes and socks.
At this time the door was gently pushed open. A middle-aged man came in wearing a green-blue gown, holding a folding fan, and with a beard at the corner of his mouth. His face is quite attractive, but the rat tail on his head is a bit unsightly.
"Sir, little madam." The visitor bowed down and saluted Yuan Meide and his concubine.
At this time, Yuan Meide's concubine also gave the visitor a Wanfu gift and walked out of the door slowly.
"Well. Master Zhang, what's going on outside?" Yuan Meide asked the visitor Zhang Chengsong.
"Sir, I understand clearly. The drummers are a group of villagers who captured the bandits. The leader is Zhang Rui. He said he wants me to plead for the people." Zhang Chengsong said
"It's a good thing to catch the bandit. Just let him be handed over to Capt. Zhao! Why are you still beating the drum? Doesn't this affect my office?" After hearing this, Yuan Meide became less angry with Zhang Chengsong.
"I told him the same thing, but he has to ask you, sir, to go to court in person to convict those bandits. Otherwise, he won't give up." Zhang Chengsong said a little helplessly
"He dares? Let the government officials beat them out. If they dare to resist, ask Capt. Zhao to lock them up." After hearing what Zhang Chengsong said, Yuan Meide couldn't help but said angrily.
"Master, I guess it's not easy for Capt. Zhao to attack him. There are about twenty of them, all holding steel swords and shields." Zhang Chengsong was afraid that Yuan Meide would give orders randomly, so he quickly explained
When Yuan Meide heard this, he felt that this was not bad. So he said: "Why, you come to the Yamen with weapons in hand. Do you want to rebel?"
"It doesn't look like it, they are just standing quietly at the yamen door." Zhang Chengsong explained again
"Master Zhang, you're already here at the yamen with weapons in hand, what else can you say but a rebellion?" Yuan Meide banged the table several times with his hand and said angrily, then changed his mind.
"Forget it, I'd better go to the hall and have a look. Qing Dynasty regulations stipulate that drums must be raised to the hall."
"Do you know those bandits?" Yuan Meide asked
"Yes, directly connected to the second and fourth masters on the mountain. There are filial piety every month. There are big gifts every year." Zhang Chengsong replied
"Huh?...How can I still be caught? Isn't this embarrassing me, Master!" Yuan Meide looked contemptuous.
"Yes, sir, I'm not very clear about the details." Zhang Chengsong lowered his head and replied.
"Wear official clothes for me."
"Yes, sir."
…
In the front hall of the Yamen, under the plaque of Justice and Integrity.
The Yamen servants were already standing one by one with their killing sticks, and the transcripts were ready and shipped there.
Zhang Rui and others were invited to the front hall. Dozens of people stopped in the front hall, but the government officials on duty were pushed back.
The sound of drums attracted more people to watch. At this time, all kinds of people were standing outside the front hall of the Yamen Gate. They were all looking at Zhang Rui and others, pointing and whispering.
Yuan Meide was fully dressed under Zhang Chengsong's clothes, and then he slowly walked out from the Yamen Hall to the front hall, and Zhang Chengsong followed him out.
As soon as Zhong Wuliang and Guo Jiatang saw Zhang Chengsong coming out behind Yuan Meide, their inner uneasiness suddenly relaxed. As long as their leader Zhou Tongtie is still there, they will eventually be acquitted or find a scapegoat.
I saw Yuan Meide sitting on the grand master's chair in the front hall of the outer hall, and the hall was stunned. Shouted: "Shengtang."
The officer on duty immediately hit the bricks and stones with a killing stick and shouted:
"mighty…"
This voice made Yuan Meide feel good at once, and he felt better. So I thought to myself: "I have forgotten how long it has been since I was promoted to court."
"Who is there in the hall? Why don't you kneel down quickly and tell me your name?"
"Du...du...du"
The sound of the killing stick hitting the ground sounded again
"mighty…"
At this moment, the bandits who were strung together knelt down one after another, the seven women also knelt down, and the members of the bandit suppression team also knelt down subconsciously.
Zhang Rui seemed to have heard nothing and was still standing there.
When Yuan Meide saw it, he immediately felt unhappy. What does this mean? deaf? So he slapped the gavel hard again and shouted again: "Who are you in the hall? Why don't you kneel down."
When the yamen servant heard the sound, he was about to knock on the bricks again. Zhang Rui suddenly faced them and said fiercely: "Stop knocking. If you make me unhappy, I will give you a knife each one."
After hearing this, the Yamen servant was shocked. No one wanted to touch this brow. He quickly stopped and looked at Yuan Meide in the hall.
Yuan Meide stood up angrily and searched the table to see if there was anything handy on it, ready to throw it at him and kill him.
Zhang Chengsong took a look and realized what Yuan Meide wanted to do. So he quickly grabbed Yuan Meide and said
"Sir, here is a country villager who doesn't know any etiquette. It would be bad if he really collides with you."
Yuan Meide was not a fool, and he understood what Zhang Chengsong meant as soon as he heard it. So he sat down and cursed relentlessly: "You're a countryman, I don't know etiquette, and I'm not as knowledgeable as you. Tell me who and what you want to sue."
"Stand up for me too. Why are you kneeling?" Zhang Rui seemed to have not heard Yuan Meide's words and said to the bandit suppressors who were kneeling on the ground.
When the bandit suppression team members saw Zhang Rui's words, they slowly stood up. Looking at them, Zhang Rui was very dissatisfied.
Doesn’t time travel literature say that as long as you give them good food and drink, they will definitely rebel against you? Fortunately, they tried it themselves, otherwise they would not have known that the government was so intimidating in their hearts.
Yuan Meide couldn't be bothered to get angry when he saw Zhang Rui like this. Anyway, he looked at Zhang Rui like a dead person.
The people outside the door did not expect that such a thing would develop, and they immediately started discussing it with great interest. They did not expect that it would be so interesting.
The bandits kneeling on the ground were secretly happy: "Hey, it seems that someone will deal with him without us having to do anything. This fool. How dare he offend the official."
