Chapter 20 Injustice

Suiyang, county government.

"Lord, all the gentry have been sent away." Ding Li came in from outside the hall and bowed to Ye Zhao.

"Well, it's a good job. Everyone has worked hard these days. Now that I'm just here to Suiyang, I think there won't be any major things yet. Everyone can cultivate well. After this time, I think you should be very busy." Ye Zhao put down the bamboo paper in his hand and smiled: "By the way, that Master Wu hasn't come today?"

"Not yet." Qiu Chi frowned and said, "It would be reasonable to say that I was waiting for yesterday and I failed to come in time. But today, even the courtiers who supervised taxes in the countryside have come back one after another, but the Chief Wu bookkeeper has not appeared for a long time, which is too rude."

"Just a chief clerk. If he is really so loyal to the superior county magistrate who has been imprisoned, I don't mind letting him go. Qiu Chi, you will temporarily take over the position of the county magistrate. After the court's official documents are formally released, then take office." Ye Zhao said in surprise.

"Here, thank you lord." Qiu Chi said hurriedly.

"As for the others..." Ye Zhao looked at Guan Hai, Ding Li, Fang Yue, Meng Hu and other people, and frowned: "Now, Suiyang County is fully organized, and the two commanders Wang Xing and Jiang Sheng have no bad records. You should not be replaced at will. You four will pay for the downstream of our school and find an opportunity to help you promote in the future. You are just a little aggrieved."

It doesn't matter if Meng Hu is promoted. Fang Yue was once a lieutenant. Ding Li served as a county lieutenant when he was in Macheng. He even served as a lieutenant in Jundu Mountain. Now he is only a lieutenant, not even a formal official, but more of a diner under his own disciple. Needless to say, Guan Hai is, the powerful generals trained by Ye Zhao are now useless. Moreover, with more and more talents around Ye Zhao, if he cannot give a suitable official position for a long time, people's hearts will not disperse for a while, but over time, he will definitely feel dissatisfied. This is a common sense. If he wants to recruit more talents, he also needs enough official positions. Now he is only a county magistrate, and it is difficult to meet Ye Zhao's requirements.

"The lord is so serious. We are already very satisfied to be able to do things for the lord." Fang Yue and others quickly bowed.

"If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. You will have to do things for me in the future. This does not have the corresponding identity and will not be convenient for many things to do." Ye Zhao shook his head: "It won't last too long."

"We will thank the lord first." Guan Hai and others said gratefully.

"You and I are both in a relationship of life and death. Don't keep saying these polite words. Now we have not yet established a foothold in Suiyang. Everyone is familiar with the county affairs in the past few days." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Here!"

Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao and said, "My lord summoned this Suiyang gentry today, but what do you think?"

Ye Zhao looked at Qiu Chi speechlessly: "In your eyes, I just like to make trouble? It's just an ordinary banquet. You said that if you want to do things in Suiyang, you can't avoid these people. I'll call them to meet today, and I'm just familiar with them. If you want to do business in Suiyang in the future, you will inevitably deal with these people. How can you have so many ideas?"

"Uh...yes, I'm humble and wronged." Qiu Chi said a little embarrassedly. In fact, it's not his fault for thinking about it. Thinking about Ye Zhao's career has been accused of Taiping Sect, Wei Xian, and Guo Yi, and he did not stop at Macheng. He first subdued the three major forces in the city and drove them away, and then the tax system and the grassland were deployed. Later, he arrived at Jundu Mountain and burned Macheng before he could even get into the heat, and the Xianbei Shanyu changed his master.

If you think about Ye Zhao's three years in office, it is really hard to imagine that Ye Zhao would be the county magistrate safely. Qiu Chi always felt that something big would happen.

"I am humble in my position, Jiang Sheng, pay homage to the envoy." At this moment, the sound of drums of grievances sounded outside the door, and Jiang Sheng hurried in.

"Who is ringing the drum of injustice?" Ye Zhao asked while putting on his clothes.

"He is a ragged woman. She doesn't look like a local, with a disheveled face. Her subordinates asked her what kind of injustice she had, but she didn't say anything. Will the envoy want to come to court?" Jiang Sheng bowed.

"Our Han law clearly stipulates that if the drum of injustice sounds, the officials will come to the court and go and see who is ringing the drum of injustice." Ye Zhao put on his clothes and went forward and said.

It is said that this injustice was established by Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, aiming to avoid someone deceived his superiors and concealed his subordinates, and the people could not appeal if they had any injustice. Therefore, there was a clear order that the injustice drum sounded, and officials would come to court.

No matter how his later generations evaluated Liu Bang, he grew up from the people and knew the sufferings of the people and had very strict requirements on this aspect. Regardless of the style of work, it was a private matter, but as an emperor, Liu Bang was not bad.

Soon, Ye Zhao brought a group of confidants to the hall, and Wang Xing was already waiting in the hall with the county officials, but saw a ragged woman kneeling under the hall. Although her clothes were ragged, it could be seen that most of them were torn apart not long ago, and skin could be seen in many places.

Ye Zhao knelt in the hall, slapped the table and said, "Wife, can you please sort out your image? This is a court. Even if you don't have the money to buy new clothes, it is a kind of etiquette."

"The civilian woman obeyed the order." The lady pushed away the hair covering her face and revealed her original face.

Although his face was full of dirt, judging from the outline, the woman was quite pretty.

"I'm pretty, but I don't know why I ended up in such a field?" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Get up and talk."

Sometimes God gives an excellent face a lot of capital. Even if he is not of a high background, he can live a life that is more prosperous than ordinary people. No matter how bad he is, he will not be as good as a woman.

"Thank you, Envoy." The woman stood up as she said, subconsciously pulling her clothes on her body. When she stood up, there were more exposed parts on her body.

"Meng Hu, go find Xin'er to put on her clothes." Ye Zhao frowned when he saw that many county officials' eyes became wrong, and turned his head to look at Meng Hu.

"Here!"

Meng Hu entered the back hall as he said, and borrowed a piece of clothing from Xin'er. Although it didn't fit, it could at least cover her body.

"Thank you, the envoy." The woman looked at Ye Zhao gratefully.

"It's okay, now you can talk about your experience." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I wonder who you are going to sue?"

"The injustice of the civilian woman is quite serious, but I don't know if the envoy dares to take over the case?" the woman hesitated.

"Rareless!" Guan Hai was furious when he heard this and looked at the woman.

"Whether I dare to take it or not is my business." Ye Zhao stopped Guan Hai and smiled, "But whether to talk or not is your problem. Since the drum of grievances has sounded, there must be a big grievance. Saying, maybe as you said, I dare not take it, but it is one of your few opportunities."
