Chapter 12: Eternal Injustice
When he heard the drums outside, the leisurely Magistrate Liu's face changed slightly.
The drum of injustice has not been knocked for several years. When it was knocked a few years ago, it happened to be a massacre involving more than a dozen lives. That incident caused a sensation. The then Chixian County Magistrate accused of being foolish and incompetent by the censor, and his career has been bumpy since then.
And now, the drums sound again.
At this moment, a clerk urgently reported: "Sir, some people claim to be Qin Shaoyou, Ruchun Restaurant, and sued someone for taking over the family property and beating the drum to make trouble..."
Ruler Liu and Zhou Wen looked at each other. Then, Ruler Liu was furious.
He also asked who was here to complain, but it turned out that the nerd who was ignorant of life and death came to sue.
This actually involves a procedural issue. Zhou Wen told Qin Shaoyou that it was a civil dispute, so it was just a small case. According to power and responsibility, it was Liu's case. However, Qin Shao guerrillas and complained about the injustice, which was a big case. In this way, Liu's case would not be qualified to be a trial and must be personally tried by the Labor County Master. Moreover, the trial location could not be in a side hall, but should go to the Qinmin Hall.
In addition, Qin Shaoyou was carrying a small case of money disputes. Although he was the defendant, he now turned passive into initiative because of this big case of beating the drum and making trouble, and became the plaintiff.
The consequences of beating the drum and making injustice are beyond words, and once the complaint is false, it will be doomed. But for Magistrate Liu, the civil case that was originally under his control suddenly lost control, which really made him unhappy.
But even so, he still said to Zhou Wen: "This time you beat the drum, you will definitely alarm the county master. Since you are the defendant, you should go to the court to be heard by the rules. But don't be afraid. If a nerd can make any trouble, I will move to the Qinmin Hall and negotiate with the county master first."
Zhou Wen nodded and said, "If what Qin Shaoyou told me is wrong, what should I do?"
Magistrate Liu sneered, "What he told me is that he will die without a burial place, and it just fulfills your wish."
Zhou Wen felt at ease. In order to seize the plaque, Zhou Wen had a conspiracy for a few days and had a very thorough understanding of Qin Shaoyou's nature. He was a nerd who was ignorant of the world. He must have been confused again. He dared to beat the drums and make trouble for the county magistrate. He had a secret help from him. Qin Shaoyou was seeking death.
Thinking of this, he stroked his beard and left the side hall and waited under the corridor of Qinmin Hall.
The county government suddenly became chaotic. The county magistrate was surnamed Liu. When Liu heard that the injustice was aroused from outside, he felt a headache and had to arrive at Qinmin Hall. Two squads of officers were standing in squads with water and fire sticks. Liu walked in carefully, and went to the side of the desk and lowered his voice: "Mr. Liu, the person who beat the drum and complained about the injustice is of some reputation."
County Magistrate Liu's face looked very bad, but he still said patiently: "Where does this start?"
Magistrate Liu hid the plot where he was familiar with Zhou Wen, and turned to Zhou Wen, and briefly explained the story.
County Magistrate Liu pressed his eyebrows and looked angry, saying, "Anyway, has the troublemaker sued?"
“It’s probably that.”
The magistrate Liu County felt even more disgusted towards Qin Shaoyou. Today, he gave a layer of injustice to his official voice, and he would not say that he would have a layer of stain on his official voice. If Qin Shaoyou just sued him because of the defendant, then this boy would be really hateful.
He slapped the arbor: "Come on, bring people!"
………………………………………
In Zichen Hall.
There is no need to say that the lunch in the palace is abundant. Shangguan Wan'er will accompany him and occasionally accompany His Majesty to have meals. She is the queen's confidant. Although she is called the female official at the waiting time, her status is very different from that of ordinary female officials.
But no matter how favored she is, the rules are rules after all. After Her Majesty the Empress ascended the throne, the world criticized and criticized them. In order to consolidate the imperial career and strengthen the position of the Empress, the ritual system of the Great Zhou Dynasty all had a certain sacred color. For example, the Empress now calls herself the Holy Emperor, and Luoyang is renamed the God Capital. Since she claims to be a god, she naturally has to be different from mortals. Even if she eats, she just lives behind the thick curtains, and enjoys a table alone, enjoying delicacies.
Shangguan Wan'er set up a long table in front of the curtain and had a meal with His Majesty through a layer of gauze tent.
But today, Shangguan Wan'er seemed a little unconscious, and the delicacies on the table were never used.
A gentle voice came from the curtain: "Wan'er, do you have any worries?"
"Your Majesty...I..."
"You have to tell the difference again, right? Since you have no worries, why don't you drink or eat?"
Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly in her heart. She ate Qin Shaoyou's soup yesterday, which made her feel endlessly. Now, eating these delicacies with too strong tastes makes her lose their appetite. But she couldn't tell them about these, so she smiled and said, "I am feeling uncomfortable today."
"Oh, since that's the case, then go and rest."
"yes."
Shangguan Wan'er stood up, gave a big gift, and slowly retreated.
She was actually a very regular person. Whenever she left the emperor, she would go to the imperial edict room or Lingyan Pavilion to study in a few steps. The Lingyan Pavilion was well-known only to the portraits of the twenty-four heroes, but she didn't know where it was the place where the palace books were collected, and countless lonely book books were like vast stars. But today, Shangguan Wan'er had no intention of studying. Although she wanted to check it out, the saying that the world had righteousness and the manifold came from, but the food was unpalatable, which made her miss the feeling of "Pearl and Jade Soup" again, so she simply went to the imperial edict room.
But as soon as he arrived at the imperial edict room, an eunuch came in panting and said, "Auntie, Luoyang County... Someone beats the drum and makes an injustice..."
Shangguan Wan'er was unmoved and said angrily: "What does it have to do with me when beating the drum and making trouble? That's a matter of prison."
"It was Qin Shaoyou who beat the drum..."
"It's him..."
Shangguan Wan'er understood that because His Majesty had specifically instructed Ruchun Restaurant, Shangguan Wan'er not only paid attention to everything there, but also ordered people to secretly monitor everything. Now, Qin Shaoyou of Ruchun Restaurant has had a major case of beating drums and making trouble, so the lower person naturally reported it as soon as possible.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"I don't know this, I just know that someone sues Qin Shaoyou for not paying back the debt."
Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but feel cold: "I understand. With his unwillingness to suffer losses, others sue him, and he will definitely sue him. He is not a nerd, he is a traitor who refuses to suffer losses and plucks his hair. It's very good. I don't care. I ordered Wang Anren and others to keep their troops in the army, as long as they don't hurt their lives. Let Luoyang County give him some trouble. Just fight. Let him have a meal, and see if he dares to be arrogant anymore."
Shangguan Wan'er suddenly became particularly happy, so she picked up an unfinished edict on the case and watched absent-mindedly: "Go down."
……………………
Qin Shaoyou had arrived at the folk hall at this time and saw a red-robed official kneeling directly above. There were two squads of servants on the left and right, and another person was kneeling on the side of the desk. This person was Liu Magistrate. Liu Magistrate was looking at him coldly at this moment, clearly with bad intentions.
Qin Shaoyou looked at him without looking sideways, and went up to worship, "Qin Shaoyou, the grass-roots, has seen his parents."
County Magistrate Liu had a preconceived impression of Qin Shaoyou, and the guy beat the drum, which made his official voice in danger, so he slapped the gavel and treated him as a prisoner: "Who is coming, what's wronged?"
Qin Shaoyou was respectful and said: "My parents, Caomin's surname is Qin, and his name is Shaoyou... He is from Luoyang, Caomin's ancestors and grandchildren have lived in Luoyang for generations and have made a living by running a wine shop. Caomin has read some books since he was a child..."
Seeing this guy shaking his head, he almost turned out the details of his ancestors' 18 generations. County Magistrate Liu felt very upset. He immediately understood that Qin Shaoyou was going to beat the drum and make trouble. Perhaps such people were ignorant of the world and were stupid in reading. They brought the world in the book into reality. But who is the county that is provoked by whom, you don't know what happened, but can't I cheat me?
The magistrate Liu interrupted angrily and said, "Okay, okay, tell me quickly, who are you asking for, why should you sue?"
Qin Shaoyou was very serious. He said stubbornly: "My parents, if you want to know who the Cao people are telling me and why they sue me, this will be a long way to say it."
County Magistrate Liu almost vomited blood. If Qin Shaoyou was not the plaintiff, he shouldn't have been punished. What's more, any such case would have to be sent to the Ministry of Justice for inspection. If it weren't for any reason, it would be hindered by the official's voice. County Magistrate Liu wanted to call people to slap them immediately.
"Say it briefly."
When Magistrate Liu saw the displeasure of County Magistrate Liu, he couldn't help but want to laugh. Qin Shaoyou is really a fool, and he annoyed County Magistrate Liu. He will suffer a lot later.
Qin Shaoyou still shook his head and said, "The student thought about it and said that this matter is of great importance, but it is still impossible to say that the defendant Zhou Wen has not yet arrived, so he should have sent a confrontation first."
The Liu County Magistrate's face turned black. He finally recovered. With just a few words, he knew who Qin Shaoyou was. He was a serious person, a serious person with books. When dealing with such a person, you really can't do anything to him. So he had to say, "Where is the person Zhou Wen who told me now?"
The officer said: "It's under the hall's corridor."
"pass!"
In a moment, Zhou Wen is here.
When Qin Shaoyou saw Zhou Wen, he immediately shouted: "Sir, what the student wants to sue is him. He wants to seize the ancestral property of the students."
Zhou Wen bowed to the magistrate of Liu County, and the magistrate Liu winked at him. Zhou Wen understood and said, "Sir, this guy is in a black and white way. Please take a look at him."
