The design of the county government in Guangzhou City is basically the same as that of other state capitals, except for small spots, old spots, biased spots, broken spots...
Ahem, okay, even if it’s a little bit worse, it’s not too much!
At least, it is much better than the original Guizhou Prefecture. The houses here are still standing and will not fall into the category of dilapidated houses.
The group of people followed Magistrate Hong into the gate of the government office, passed through an open space paved with blue bricks, and arrived at the Yimen Gate in front of them.
It is different from the common room door or courtyard door.
The Yimen is known as the ceremonial door of the county government! It is usually closed and can only be opened on the first day of a new official's arrival or when welcoming senior officials.
Moreover, this gate also stipulates: "Civilian officials dismount their sedan chairs here, and military attachés dismount their horses here" to show the majesty of the country's power!
In addition, on the first day of the new official's arrival, a ceremony will be held.
In addition, if a grand ceremony is held in the county government hall or a major case is heard publicly, the ceremonial door must also be opened to allow people to enter from the middle door.
Since the Yimen is closed on weekdays and even the county magistrate can't leave, we can't let the eldest man be locked up in the Yimen every day.
Therefore, there is a small door on both sides of the Yimen.
The door on the east side of Yimen is called "Shengmen" or "Renmen", which is used for the daily entry and exit of the lord, government servants and servants.
The west door is called the "death door" or "ghost door" and is usually closed. Only when the criminal is sentenced in the lobby can he be taken out of the west door and sent to prison or executed.
Of course, the ceremony door must be wide open today.
Fatty Hong, who was full of flattery, tried his best to invite Xiao Han to pass through the Yimen, but when Xiao Han saw the surprised and surprised eyes behind him, he still shook his head and entered through the east gate.
After passing through the Yimen, the next step is the lobby courtyard, and the most impressive thing that catches your eye is the Gongshengming Archway.
This archway is located in the middle of the front of the main hall of the county government. It is a stone archway with three doors and four pillars. It is about two feet high and three feet wide. The south side is engraved with the three characters "Gongsheng Ming", and the north side is engraved with "Er's salary, Erlu, Minzhimingan, Xiamin".
It is easy to be abused, but it is difficult to bully God." Sixteen words.
These sixteen characters can be seen in basically every yamen in the Tang Dynasty, and they are all erected in the most conspicuous positions so that the county magistrate can see them every day.
But even so, Xiao Han feels that from ancient times to the present, how many county officials are really honest and upright? If everyone could understand this Gongshengming, it is estimated that Hai Rui, Bao Zheng and others would
Nor will it be passed down through the ages.
These people are praised precisely because they are rare!
"Hou...ahem."
Ahead, Fatty Hong quietly turned around and saw Xiao Han staring at Gong Shengming. His fat face suddenly felt a little unnatural, and he subconsciously wanted to shout out the word "Master Hou". But even as he spoke, he
I suddenly woke up and had to stand there awkwardly and cough repeatedly.
Perhaps he was awakened by Fatty Hong's cough. Xiao Han let out a breath of turbid air, then raised his eyes and looked at the main hall in front of him. This is the place where criminals are tried in the play.
Similar to the description in the play, this courtroom also has a plaque with the words "Mingjing hangs high", and three feet of public cases below it are placed with the Four Treasures of the Study, the gavel, legal signatures and other trial items.
Behind him, a whole screen is painted with "Sea Sunrise Picture", which symbolizes that it is as clear as sea water and as bright as the moon. As for the floor in front of the court, two kneeling stones are specially isolated, the plaintiff's stone in the east and the defendant's stone in the west.
.
It was rare to kneel down in the Tang Dynasty.
Even when facing the supreme emperor, few people knelt down and paid homage.
But here in the yamen, it is different. Anyone who comes to complain or the defendant needs to kneel in the hall and listen to the county master's judgment.
Of course, the reason for this is not that the county lord is more powerful than the emperor, but because the person kneeling here is not the county yamen lord, but the law of heaven and earth that the county yamen lord represents.
"This..." After coming to the Tang Dynasty for so long, Xiao Han was no longer the novice he was before. When he saw the two dusty kneeling stones, he was just slightly stunned, and soon looked at Hong in front with a smile.
The county magistrate said: "I have meritorious service, and as a rule, I don't need to kneel."
Although I still don’t know what kind of medicine Xiao Han is selling in the gourd, Magistrate Hong didn’t dare to make Xiao Han kneel down and worship him! So after hearing this, he immediately nodded his head like a chicken and ate rice.
Same: "Yes, yes, those who have fame or honors do not need to kneel down! You can just stand. Otherwise, if standing is too tiring, can I bring you a chair?"
"No need!" Xiao Han shook his head, looked at Liu Hongji, who was holding his arms with an impatient expression, and then looked at Magistrate Hong who looked like he had eaten a bed bug and said: "We can just stand, magistrate, it's better to hurry up."
Let’s review the case.”
"Ah?" Magistrate Hong was startled and asked subconsciously: "Real trial?"
"True trial!" Xiao Han nodded heavily, joking, really thought he was crazy and came here to bully the trumpet?
——————
"mighty……"
Accompanied by a low shout of "Sheng Tang", a few government officials stood on both sides of the court, leaning on the ground with wind and fire sticks, and weakly shouting "Tang Wei".
Although they also guessed from the attitude of their master that the identities of Xiao Han and others should be unusual, but this authority has not been shouted for a year, and now it is quite good to be shouted like this.
"Who is here? What grievances are there?"
Magistrate Hong, who patted the gavel lightly and felt like a thousand grass and mud horses running through his heart, had never felt that these words were so difficult to say!
This is not like the yamen servant who has become a little rusty because he has not been in court for a long time. It is actually because he knows that since he said these words, he will definitely get into trouble, a big trouble!
Therefore, Magistrate Hong was extremely annoyed at this time, wondering why he had to run out in such a hurry today!
If he had known this, he would have pretended to be sick! If it didn't work, he would have been really sick!
All you have to do is take a brick and slap it on the head a few times! Compared with this weird game where you will be doomed if you don’t pay attention, the temporary pain is really nothing!
Thinking of those people in prison, Fatty Hong's intestines almost turned green with regret! But there is everything in this world, but there is no regret medicine to take!
Therefore, Fatty Hong, who was sitting in the courtroom, really felt what it meant to be on pins and needles, and what it means to feel like a second feels like a year!
"In the restaurant, we were assassinated for no reason. During the fight, some people were seriously injured. I hope the county magistrate will make the decision for the people! Punish the murderer and restore peace to Zhengzhou."
Xiao Han couldn't feel the despair in Fatty Hong's heart at all. He still just lowered his head and stated the matter in detail without adding any emotional elements. He only told the scene that happened yesterday exactly as it was.
