The low drum beat sounded like it was coming from under his feet, and Chu Ping felt his heart beating along with it.
"Who plays the drums?!"
Chu Ping jumped up, his blood surged, and his face turned red.
Anyone who complains of grievances must go to court. Violators will be punished with serious crimes. This is an iron law of the Ming Dynasty.
How could Chu Ping be so unclear?
Although he felt angry for a while, he put on his official uniform and official hat and strode out the door. Seeing that the government servant who had disturbed him was still kneeling, he kicked him over.
"Sir, trouble is coming!"
The yamen officer groaned in pain, but he still didn't dare to hesitate and express his intention.
"Suspected of killing someone from the Giant Whale Gang?"
Chu Ping looked slightly gloomy and asked around:
"Then who broke Lao Litou's legs?"
After hemming and hawing, he still said:
"My lord, you have forgotten that when you were about to go out that day, the old guy pounced on you and broke his leg on the spot..."
"Yeah?"
Chu Ping thought for a while, and it seemed that there was such a thing. He straightened his official hat and walked towards the front hall with a gloomy face.
…
The yamen of Heishan City are in a dilapidated state, and the evil of Mulin Mansion is not much better. Although there is no damage, there is a smell of decay everywhere.
Only the main hall still retains some solemnity.
When Chu Ping arrived, he heard bursts of noise. He looked around and was shocked. There were probably hundreds of people gathered inside and outside the yamen.
Unprecedented excitement.
"These thugs!"
Chu Ping's face became even more ugly, and he entered the lobby with his sleeves waving.
As soon as he entered the lobby, Chu Ping's heart skipped a beat.
In the lobby, which was still somewhat solemn, there were already nine yamen officers in charge of the two shifts, and several swordsmen and pen clerks were already in place.
But the atmosphere seemed a bit too condensed.
It was clear that there was a lot of noise outside the house, but there was a dead silence inside the hall. In the main hall, there was a cart parked, with an old man lying on it.
There is also a young man full of charlatanism, sitting in the middle of the hall with a golden sword.
etc……
"My chair, sir?"
Chu Ping's mind buzzed.
This is not because he is timid, but he has never encountered such a situation before.
After being startled, he became furious:
"How dare you be so bold and unruly to the people, how dare you despise me! I won't take him down if you are left or right!"
Wearing tiger skin, he has a powerful power. When he roared, all the people watching the excitement outside the house were startled and lost their voices. The two teams of government officials inside the house even trembled.
However, there are no other actions.
"Ha~"
Yang Yu sat casually, raised his head slightly, looked at the "Mingjing Gaohang" plaque that had fallen a little dusty after Chu Ping shouted, and sneered:
"Master Chu has such great official authority!"
"Are you Yang Prison?"
Chu Ping took a closer look and recognized Yang Yu's identity. His face changed several times. He walked to the front of the case, feeling uncomfortable all over, but he still suppressed his anger:
"Even if you are the leader of the Six Doors, there is no place for you to sit in this lobby! After today, I will write to the state government to ask you for the crime of disorderly government!"
Once you open it, the big hat will cover it directly.
The duties of Ming Dynasty were clearly divided.
Below the central level, the nine kings took charge of the military power themselves, but the political power was in the hands of the imperial court. From the governor of the state to the county magistrate, the imperial court sent people to guard the area and manage the people's livelihood.
The six gates are independent of the outside world, dedicated to martial arts, and a bully and tyrant who brings trouble to one side.
Jinyiwei has the responsibility of supervision, but has no power to directly interfere with the military regime.
Yang Yu naturally knew this.
But he didn't panic at all.
It is true that he is the head catcher of the Six Gates, but he is also a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu. In addition, he also has the endorsement of Xu Wenji, who holds a blank document behind his back and controls the official administration of Qingzhou to a certain extent.
A palace master's big hat, he wears it with peace of mind.
As for whether Xu Wenji is fair, a veteran of two dynasties who went from being a head catcher to the center would have died 800 times earlier if he didn't even have this means.
His expression remained unchanged, but the people outside the door were frightened. Even Xiao Wu broke out in a cold sweat.
"If you want to write a letter to accuse me, that's up to you."
Yang Yu sat firmly, glanced at the two groups of yamen servants, and said calmly:
"Now, ascend to the throne!"
"you!"
Chu Ping's expression changed several times, but before he could speak, two squads of government officials were already shouting "mighty" tremblingly, making him stagger with anger.
Facing Yang Yu's cold gaze, he was in a daze.
I just feel that at this time, he seems to be not in the hall, but in the hall. He is not the master of the palace who controls the people's livelihood, but a prisoner undergoing trial.
Snapped!
Gavel was photographed heavily.
Chu Ping's face turned pale and he interrupted sharply:
"Yang Yu, are you going to interrogate me?!"
"It is not the responsibility of Six Doors to judge guilt. Yang came today, but he has two things to do."
Yang Yu's voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly inside and outside the lobby. His attitude was tough and irresistible:
"Now, let's do the first thing!"
call!
As the sound waves reverberated, the entire hall seemed to be enveloped by a cold current. Everyone from Chu Ping to the two teams of government officials trembled.
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"
Chu Ping's face was flushed. He wanted to have an attack but had no confidence. He was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"Bring someone to commit the crime!"
Yang Yu ignored him and raised his hand. Xiao Wu outside the door had already lifted a pale-faced giant whale into the lobby and threw it to the ground.
"Who are you?"
Yang Prison smelled it lightly.
The giant whale gang members were already as soft as bones on the ground, and they heard Yang Yu's voice trembling even more:
"Go back, sir, grass, grass people Zhang Da, big tiger, giant whale gang, the little leader of the giant whale gang's swordsman team..."
Giant Whale Gang Knife Team?!
The lobby was even quieter, and there was a sound of surprise outside.
The Giant Whale Gang Swordsman Team is one of its most core parts. To join the team, you have to change your skills and be proficient in one sword technique at the very least. It also has a very bad reputation in Mulin Mansion.
Just looking at this man's cowardly appearance, no one expected that this man would actually be the little leader of the Whale Gang's knife team.
"The giant whale helps the knife team?"
Chu Ping glanced around, and a middle-aged scribe hurriedly came forward to whisper. Hearing his words, the former took a deep breath.
He had three good things in his life: beauty, gold and silver, and sleep.
No one was allowed to disturb him in the middle of the night, so he didn't know anything about the Giant Whale Gang.
When I heard the news and looked at the little leader of the Giant Whale Gang kneeling in the hall, my eyes became a little dark.
Only then did we understand why these government officials and clerks were so frightened that they did not even listen to their own orders.
"Master Chu, do you recognize him?"
Seeing how miserable he was, Yang Yu's eyes became colder and colder.
Officialdom is not a world of politics. In addition to talents, there are also connections, relationships, and interest balances.
Liu Wenpeng was no more than a county magistrate, but he was much more powerful than the Lord of Chuzhou, but his family background and connections were not as good.
Not all officials can be assigned.
"No, I don't recognize it."
Chu Ping calmed down and flatly refused, with cold sweat breaking out on his back.
He is not stupid.
Thinking about what happened before and after, how could he still not know that the person who came was not good?
Yang Yu was not trying to stand up for Old Li, he was clearly here for him!
Collusion between officials and bandits has always been a taboo in court.
Even the family may not be able to keep his official position!
"Don't recognize it?"
Yang Yu sneered and looked at the giant whale gang: "Master Chu, noble people forget things a lot, come and remind him!"
In the fight last night, he had not brought a bow and arrow, so he could not have killed the leader of the Giant Whale Gang.
This big tiger is the one who was lucky enough to survive. The only reason he was lucky was that he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to run away.
"Yes Yes."
How could Zhang Dahu dare to refuse? He started talking as if he were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"Master Chu joined our Giant Whale Gang six years ago, and his status is equivalent to that of deputy gang leader. He only needs to deal with the unruly people who sue the officials, and he can receive eight hundred miles of silver from our gang every month..."
The more Zhang Dahu talked, the smoother he became.
"Nonsense, nonsense! You are a bully, you are a villain, you are a villain!"
Chu Ping's expression changed several times. He wanted to interrupt, but no one paid attention to him. For a moment, he could only feel the light and shadow flickering in front of his eyes, and almost fainted.
"Dog officer, dog officer!"
Hearing Zhang Dahu's words, there was an uproar outside the house, and the onlookers all yelled and cursed. The crowd was so angry that several government officials who were maintaining order were almost trampled down.
"The Giant Whale Gang is responsible for causing trouble, controlling water transportation, oppressing good people, robbing women of the people, secretly hiding bows, crossbows and armor... Each of these things, it would be unreasonable to say that Mr. Chu didn't know about it at all, right?"
As soon as Yang Yu opened his mouth, the noise outside the door suddenly stopped. He glanced at the penman, who hurriedly lowered his head and wrote quickly, recording everything.
"Yang prison! How can you slander me when you have no evidence?!"
Chu Ping clutched the desk tightly, his face was green and white at the same time, and he kept saying one sentence over and over again, he was deceived and beaten to death.
"Whether it is slander or not, Mr. Chu knows very well."
Yang Yu slowly stood up and walked forward:
"I heard that there are various punishments in your office. Under such severe punishments, all hard bones will turn into soft-footed shrimps? It seems that today, Yang can have an eye-opener."
Yang Yu's steps and voice were very light and even slower.
Chu Ping, however, felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and as he approached, he finally couldn't bear it any longer and smashed the table with a low roar.
"Yang prison!"
He roared and turned to run away.
At this time, he finally knew that the real purpose of Yang Yu was not himself, but the Chu family behind him!
This shock completely confused my mind.
"Good escape!"
Yang Yu smiled and grabbed it casually. The air flow stirred up by the strong wind had scattered the wood chips on the table. In the direction of his five fingers, there seemed to be air waves visible to the naked eye.
Just press down and grab the back of the neck.
Just slap it casually.
Only a heart-wrenching muffled sound was heard, and Chu Ping's screams exploded uncontrollably.
How powerful is Yang Prison?
A casual swing was no less than a blow with a heavy hammer. Chu Ping was used to being pampered. Although he had to exchange blood four or five times, how could he bear it?
"Yang, Yang prison!"
Chu Ping's facial features were distorted in pain and ferocious:
"I'll wait under the underworld... click!"
The words stopped abruptly, and Yang Yu removed his chin, letting him whimper with saliva, and took a chair to sit under the upright and bright plaque.
He stepped lightly and made a loud noise:
"It's a crime to kneel down, do you know it's a crime?!"
