It's four o'clock in the spring outside the door, and there are three feet of law inside the case.

Tie Tang was somewhat confused as he walked around the county government office. He passed through the Flower Hall, crossed the Xiyu Pavilion, and walked from the Second Hall to the Superintendent's Hall.

It's still noisy here, with blue clothes and green clothes flying through it like butterflies.

Unknowingly, he arrived at the prison, but instead of heading towards the cell, he headed towards the Prison Temple on the other side.

The Gao Tao enshrined inside is the same as in the past, holding a code of law and sitting in it.

Tie Tang sat cross-legged in front of the statue and just watched quietly.

"It is clear about the five punishments and the five teachings."

"Is it really?"

"Even people like the county magistrate sometimes have no choice but to do something. Who am I, Tie Tang...who am I?"

"Gaotao...you are just a clay statue after all."

It was extremely quiet inside the Hell Temple, with a few candles dispersing the darkness and the smoke wafting through it.

In an instant, Tie Tang felt that his eyelids were extremely heavy and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Can't count the breaths.

When he realized something was wrong, he was suddenly startled and opened his eyes again.

Nothing changed, and no one came near.

Only...

On the ground in front of him, there is an additional line of water-stained fonts.

"He is dedicated to his work, and he believes that the people come first, that Heaven's order is polite, and that Heaven's destiny is virtuous."

This line of calligraphy is powerful and strong, like a silver hook on an iron painting, and an aura of uprightness comes to my face.

"You still here?"

Tie Tang stood up in disbelief. There was no movement around him, only the statue in front of him... was quietly observing him.

This world - there is God!

"The order of heaven is polite, and the destiny of heaven is virtuous..."

"I...can't do anything, but I still believe in the cycle of heaven and retribution. In that case, I just have a clear conscience."

Looking at the dim light in the temple, with only a few candles swaying in the breeze, Tie Tang came to a realization.

"Tie Mou... is willing to illuminate the darkness with a little light!"

Picking up three bamboo incense sticks and lighting them, Tie Tang solemnly bowed three times to the Gaotao statue, stepped forward to put the incense sticks on, then turned around and strode away.

[Know your mind and see your nature, don’t be shy, don’t be shy, Xingyuan +20]

The deep blue light blazing in his mind made Tie Tang stop.

Twice.

In addition to the +3 star points in Sifang Mountain, this is the second time that the star points have been increased because of expressing one's feelings.

After a pause, Tie Tang walked towards the arresting hall.

20 points of stars is a lot, but he hasn't figured out how to use it for a while. If he continues to use it to improve his cultivation, he wonders if it will be too eye-catching.

Inside the Inspector's Hall.

Duan Jingrui has arrived early, and he has quite a lot of things to do. Yesterday he went to help solve the unsolved case at the racecourse, and now the files on his desk are stacked up.

"The chief catcher!"

"The chief catcher!"

...

After saying hello a few times, Tie Tang pressed his hands and sat down where Qing Feng had been.

"The detective responsible for the Yihongyuan Cuihong case, come to me."

"The chief arrester, the fingerprints and footprints collected at the crime scene have been preserved and can be used as evidence in court at any time."

"Apart from Wu Qing, have any traces of anyone else been found?"

Even if Tie Tang has identified Wu Qing as the murderer, he will not let go of any clues.

"Yes, there are, but they should all be from Yihongyuan..."

"Go collect and compare!"

"This... the chief arrester, there are many people in Yihongyuan. Besides, who else could this murderer be than Wu Qing?"

"Are you questioning me?"

"My subordinates don't dare, so I'll go right away."

........

Duan Jingrui smiled slightly as he listened to the noise over there.

The 'Magic Catcher'... seems to be back.

Dawn had just broken, and before the scorching sun had time to shed its light on the world, the world was beating drums to encourage them.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of huge drums echoed irregularly and intermittently in the county government office, causing everyone in the Superintendent's Office to stop.

"It's a grievance!"

"There's another case."

"Beating a drum to complain is not about serious grievances or even desperation. Who dares to drum easily?"

The law of Dashang clearly stipulates: Those who beat drums to complain about grievances will be punished if their accusations are untrue.

If a person sues an official from the people and has no merit, he should first receive twenty strokes of the cane.

Those who appeal to the people by the people and have no meritorious service should first receive ten strokes of the cane.

The seemingly unreasonable legal provisions have invisible deterrent power hidden behind them.

When the people sue an official, they can sue across the city or across the hierarchy.

That is to say, if ordinary people have suffered great injustice, but feel that the local county government has violated the law for personal gain, they can go to other counties to sue the local county government.

At the same time, you can also file a petition beyond the next level. The leapfrog here does not mean jumping over the county government office to the county government.

Instead, he went to another county government office and sued the county officials directly.

The magistrate of a county naturally cannot control the department above him, but after finding out the truth, he can submit it to the Supervisory Yuan.

With the Control Yuan involved, everything will change.

When you sue the people from the people, naturally you don't sue ordinary people, but those wealthy families and country gentlemen.

It can be said that complaining is a method that ordinary people will choose when they are desperate. It seems to be the only method.

It's a pity that the law stipulates very well, but when it is actually implemented, it is completely different.

' Beat drums to complain, and if the accusation is untrue, you should suffer the consequences. '

The word 'untrue' here...who decides?

It’s not up to the officials to decide!

And the following lawsuit is a fantasy. Which county magistrate dares to poke his boss in the butt?

Submitting it to the Supervisory Yuan made trouble out of nothing and caused a scandal out of thin air.

You may not be very clean yourself, so how can you dare to provoke a tiger like the Overwatch Council?

There are very few people in the world who succeed by complaining.

"Hey, why has it been knocking for so long...and no one has come up yet?"

"According to law, the county magistrate should go to court first to clarify the circumstances of the case. If the matter is of major importance, he will then notify the county magistrate."

Tie Tang also stopped what he was doing and looked around at the astonished police officers.

"Have you seen the county magistrate in the past two days? I just passed by the second hall and I didn't see him."

The second hall is where he and the county magistrate work, but he has not seen the magistrate for several days.

"No."

"No."

"It seems that he is sick."

At this moment, two government officials came outside the door of the Superintendent's Hall.

"I'll meet the chief catcher soon!"

"I'll meet the chief catcher soon!"

"What's going on!" Seeing these two familiar Yijinjing yamen servants, Tie Tang knew that the county magistrate's order was coming.

"The county magistrate said that he worked hard last night and is a little tired today. The county magistrate is sick at home again and asked the chief catcher to go to the court."

Leave all the hot potatoes to me, right?

Tie Tang was convinced and waved his hand: "I already know!"

He is also an official. Although he is only a ninth-grade official, he is still an official.

Ascension to the church - this is his duty.

However, Tie Tang has never done it once, but his predecessor has judged several cases.

"Duan County arrest, you should come too."

"I?"

Duan Jingrui was a little surprised, but he didn't object. He was convinced of Tie Tang's abilities.

A prison-breaking detective who claims to be an expert in solving crimes will not be helpless when faced with a lawsuit.

Tie Tang led Duan Jingrui and a group of detectives to the county government lobby, where the plaque of 'Mirror Hangs High' was shining brightly in the middle.

In the lobby, there are ten government officials standing in two rows on the left and right, eight of them holding black and red fire sticks, and the remaining two holding "avoid" and "quiet" vertical signs.

After sitting down and standing up one by one, Tie Tang picked up the gavel and patted it.

Snapped!

"Ascending to the Hall!"

"Power~~~Wu!"

"Power~~~Wu!"
