Rise From the Humble

The white snow showed no sign of stopping, fluttering, and everything in the world was covered in white, a piece of pure white.

In the heavy snow all over the sky, a group of people and horses braved the wind and snow to move forward with difficulty. 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. When the time comes, you can make it clear and you can leave. It's just that I pity my wife and children." Yang Dacheng limped on the snow and said apologetically to Zhu Pingan.

Yang Dacheng's hands were tied with ropes by the yamen servant, he looked at his wife and children beside 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 took the initiative 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 brat, he also took the initiative to follow, and the hostess also agreed, and it would be easy to take care of him if he followed.

"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, Brother Yang, don't be too sad." Zhu Ping'an persuaded.

"Alas." Yang Dacheng just sighed.

Yang Dacheng was grateful for Zhu Ping'an's comfort, 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 cruel and 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 is not too far from the county seat. After walking in the snow for about an hour, they entered the county seat.

"Tongcheng County"

There are three words engraved on the wall of the county seat, which is the name of the county seat, Tongcheng County. Both Tongcheng County and Huaining County belong to Anqing Prefecture, but Tongcheng County is located to the 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 and others in Tongcheng were so arrogant back then.

After entering the county seat, Zhu Ping'an and Yang Dacheng were directly led by Huang Zandian and the guards to the direction of the county government.

The county government is located on the north side of the county seat, and people like Huang Zandian and guards near the county government are even more powerful, as if the tiger has returned to its own territory.

The county government office is quite large in size. 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 Ancient Governance", which is intended to illustrate that Tongcheng County has a long history and 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 point, what did the emperor say, what instructions did the superiors have, what should the common people do, and so on.

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 express their grievances to the county magistrate.

Walking to the door, Yang Dacheng suddenly felt a burst of strength, and regardless of his bound hands, he was about to go to the "Shouting Drum for Injustice" to beat the drum to express his grievances.

"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 stroked his mustache and ordered several officers.

"Okay." A guard 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."

The servant's words made the hostess spit, and then she led the children to the drum where they were called, 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, stepped forward to stop the hostess, and then rudely drove her away to prevent her from shouting about her injustice.

Hahaha

The few officers who were escorting Yang Dacheng burst into laughter at this. They were really from the countryside, and they really thought that the yamen was vegetarian.

"Okay, let's take them to the prison and lock them up first. When the county master has time, we will report them to him."

Huang Chandian looked at Yang Dacheng with disdain, waved his hand, and ordered the guards to quickly send Yang Dacheng and Zhu Ping'an to the county prison. Then he turned to the hostess and said, "Brothers and sisters, if you need anything, come to me. They all know where I am, and you can ask anyone. It’s not easy for you either. If I can help, I will naturally help.”

"Walk!"

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.

"Yo He, this nerd is quite obedient."

The officer who originally wanted to push Zhu Pingan laughed when he saw this. The other officers were also making fun of Zhu Pingan. This nerd probably didn't know how powerful the prison was. He would cry when he entered the prison.

"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. This cry of grievances was 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 was.

"You can see the county magistrate whenever you ask him to. Just go and stay in your prison!"

The officer on duty at the door knew Huang Chandian and the other officers. As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, the officer on duty couldn't help laughing.

"I'm sorry, Liu Tou, for causing you trouble." Huang Chandian said with a smile, "When these unruly people are put in jail, I'll treat you to a drink."

"Hahaha, you said that." The officer on duty laughed.

There was a cheerful atmosphere at the yamen gate, 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 officials on duty looked at Zhu Ping'an sideways.

Huang Chandian also had a dark face. This stupid scholar must have been stupid in reading. Why can't he understand the situation?

The officer in charge of Zhu Pingan hurried forward to take care of 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 let him know that the yamen door opened to the south. What do you mean, this nerd can't do it without fighting.

"I want to see the county magistrate."

Zhu Pingan 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 Ping'an stood in front of the officer on duty holding a voucher with the big official seal and various official seals in his hand, and then looked at him with a smile.

"What the hell is wrong with me?"

Zhu Pingan hooked the corners of his lips and asked with a gentle smile on his face. Sensen's teeth were whiter than snow.

The officer on duty had a face like that of 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 are so stupid."

This change was so fast that the officer in charge of Zhu Ping'an didn't even notice it. As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, this guy immediately started to scold him. This was a good time to get close to Liu Toutao, haha, I did it.

After finishing speaking, this buddy came up with a stinky sock, and he was about to stuff it into Zhu Ping'an's mouth.

"You are so stupid."

At this moment, the officer on duty suddenly rushed up to the officer who came forward, cursed loudly, and then followed him up with a loud mouth, which kept ringing.

this

How is this going?

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, they were even more dumbfounded. It’s still Yang Dacheng’s family.
