"Next!"
"Qu Ruo!"
At this time, there was a long queue in the front yard of the Yamen, all waiting for the test.
The men who had passed the examination sat on this stone ridge and talked quietly.
Seeing one person after another pass the physical examination, a man standing in the queue panicked.
If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't even know that this man was a woman. Even the smell emanating from her body was no different from those of those men.
At this moment, her heart was nervous. Although it was cloudy today, a lot of sweat had accumulated on her palms.
Seeing that she was almost there, her heart became even more panicked.
Looking at this figure, he is very thin, and his face is yellow and a little dark.
Her name is Li Xiang, she is a commoner living outside the city of Liangcheng Prefecture, and she can also be regarded as a commoner of Liangcheng Prefecture. In addition to his parents, there is a younger brother in the family, who is still in his early teens.
"Next!"
"Li Qian!"
Hearing this, Li Xiang, who was disguised as a man, became even more panicked.
She was afraid not of failing to join the militia, but of being punished by the government office if she was discovered.
You know, anyone who deceives the government yamen will receive at least a few blows, at most, dozens of people or even be beaten to death.
Joining the militia was not of my own free will, but was forced by my parents at home.
Seeing something strange, his colleague Wen Yonghe walked up, looked at Li Xiang who was disguised as a man, and said, "I'm calling you."
Hearing Wen Tongzhi's words and looking at Wen Tongzhi's eyes, Li Xiang's heart was already beating extremely fast. If his heart beat any faster, he would faint or even die.
Seeing Li Xiang, who was disguised as a man, not moving at all, fellow acquaintance Wen Yonghe asked: "Is your name Li Qian?"
Li Xiang nodded nervously.
The name Li Qian was not given by Li Xiang himself, but by his father.
Seeing that Li Qian had not yet stepped forward, Wen Yonghe, who was kind-hearted, encouraged him: "Go ahead. Don't waste everyone's time."
I saw Li Xiang walking nervously and slowly towards the temporary body examination room.

After not waiting long, I heard the junior official in the examination room hurriedly ran out and walked towards his colleague Wen Yonghe.
Looking at the hurried little official, Wen Yonghe, a colleague, asked: "What happened?"
When the junior official came forward, he spoke in the ear of his colleague Wen Yonghe.
After listening, the face of colleague Wen Yonghe changed. He looked at the junior official seriously and said: "Continue to examine the rest of the people, watch her, don't let him run away. I'm going Talk to the magistrate."
"Okay." The officer responded and walked towards the examination room.
Tongzhi Wen Yonghe hurried to the room where the prefect Gu Jiantong was.
Wen Tongzhi this time was different from Wen Tongzhi the last two times. This time his walking pace was very fast.
After a while, Wen Tongzhi hurried into Gu Jiantong's house.
Looking at the eager Wen Tongzhi and listening to the out-of-breath breathing, the prefect Gu Jiantong asked: "Wen Tongzhi, what happened?"
Wen Tongzhi took a few breaths, looked at the prefect Gu Jiantong, and said back: "During the physical examination, it was discovered that a woman had joined under the false name."
After listening, I couldn't see any surprise on Magistrate Gu's face, but a look of normalcy.
After a while, Magistrate Gu smiled slightly and said, "Look what I'm talking about. It seems that this physical examination is not unnecessary."
Listening to the prefect Gu Jiantong's muttering to himself, Wen Tongzhi asked: "What should we do with her?"
"After examining them one by one, if a woman is found to be impersonating, they will all be brought to the front hall. If this matter is not severely punished, the people of Liangcheng Prefecture will still take me seriously." Magistrate Gu replied. .
"Okay, then I will go down first."
"good."
Fortunately, after the final inspection, it was discovered that the impersonator was only the man named Li Qian.
After being discovered, Li Xiang was kneeling in the lobby of the Yamen.
Outside the yamen, there were many people who liked to watch the excitement, and they all talked in private.
After being discovered, Li Xiang's heart was not beating as fast as it had been before entering the body examination room. Perhaps, she has prepared all the punishments.
On the stage, the prefect Gu Jianyi, wearing an official hat and purple official uniform, sat with a serious face.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
On the official hat chair, Yuan Chuang, Gu Jiantong's servant, stood beside him. Several officials were sitting around the middle of the hall, including Wen Yonghe, who was wearing a purple official uniform. The rest of the officials were either recording or listening. adjudicating the case.
There are government officials standing on both sides of the hall. They are holding water and fire sticks in their hands. The upper part is black and the lower part is red. Standing in the hall, they are indeed somewhat majestic.
"Open the hall!" After shouting, the prefect Gu Jiantong picked up the gavel in front of the table and slapped it hard, only to hear a "pop!" resounding throughout the government office.
Such a loud knocking sound made Li Xiang, who was kneeling in front of the hall, panic a little.
Listening to the chatter outside, the prefect Gu Jiantong shouted: "Quiet outside the hall!"
With these words, the people outside the hall were all so panicked that they didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't dare to take a breath for the atmosphere.
"Who is kneeling under the stage?" Magistrate Gu Jiantong asked.
"Folk girl...Li...Li...Xiang." Li Xiang was so nervous that he hesitated to speak.
"Do you know what happened?!" Magistrate Gu asked.
"Hui...hui...the official...knows...knows." Li Xiang replied.
Magistrate Gu: "Since you know it, why do you still commit this crime? It is written clearly in black and white. To join, you need to be a man with a weak crown or above, a life below, and no illness. There are several other conditions, which I will not explain. Don’t you know whether you’re a boy or a girl? Ah?!”
Hearing this stern accusation, some of the people watching outside laughed out loud before Li Xiang could say anything.
In this regard, what Gu Jiantong, the prefect, hates most is that some people laugh when others are serious.
Seeing this, Magistrate Gu struck the gavel tree hard in his hand, and then shouted at the common people: "Don't you have ears?! You are not allowed to make loud noises during the trial! Don't you dare to make another mistake?" , I will bring a few people here to fight with you!"
After saying this, the people who had laughed out loud just now shut their mouths.
"Tell me! Why did you pretend to be a man and join the militia? Could it be that you want to save your family from taxes for a lifetime?" asked Magistrate Gu.
At this time, Li Xiang kowtowed several times, and tears were seen flowing from her eyes. She came back crying: "Official, please, make the decision for the people's daughters. The people's daughters don't want to."
Magistrate Gu: "Oh? I don't want to. Just tell me."
