Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 410 Ghost Gate
There are roughly four origins of the Que family at this time.

First of all, after Guan Longpang (Feng), the minister of the Xia Dynasty, moved to the Que Party and took the place as the surname. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Que Party was renamed Que Li;

The second is Quegong, the princely state of the Shang Dynasty, with "Quegong" and "Quemen" as the surnames, and later simplified to Que;
The third is Xianbei Queji (also known as Jueji), the provincial surname of Que Jubu;

Finally, it is the old and weak provincial surname left in Huining by the Western Turkic Ashina Quedadu Tribe during the Sui Dynasty.

The Que family, who was born in Que Shiniu, belonged to the Que Dadu family.

What's a little strange is that even if the Quedadu tribe is small and powerful, it definitely can't expand to the point where Dongshi dominates, let alone allow Wannian County to openly favor it.

Especially in everyone's impression, Fan Zheng just sent the son of the country, Siye Zidao, to the prison!
"Tomorrow, I will take the whole workshop to smash the Que family!"

Lu Jiasheng roared.

Fan Zheng shook his head helplessly: "They're starting to talk nonsense. The whole workshop is dispatched, and you can't even reach Xuanyangfang, so the left guard has to take all of Dunhuafang, which is playing into the hands of others."

"Tomorrow afternoon, you bring more than ten people and wait outside the Xuanyangfang county government office with these two people. I'm not allowed to act rashly until I arrive."

"This matter, I should give Dunhua Fang an explanation."

Lu Jiasheng narrowed his eyes in an instant: "Come here for you?"
-
Going to the Yamen after lunch, this is just the treatment of the court officials, the local government is not such a good thing, why don't they all sharpen their heads and go to the court?

Fan Zheng greeted Guo Jing in advance, his lunch became Shi Ao cake, changed into normal clothes, grabbed the cake and left Suzaku door.

The welfare provided by the yamen is cheaper if you don’t take it. Don’t think that if you eat less than two bites, you can save money for the yamen, or you can cast a few more arrows for the soldiers of the court.

Fan Zheng is just an ordinary person, not so high-minded, and he doesn't want to dress up as a saint.

Xuanyangfang, in front of Zhaobi, Wannian County Government.

More than a dozen Dunhua residents were filled with anger, and they felt relieved when they saw Fan Zheng, and tacitly surrounded Fan Zheng in the middle.

Lu Jiasheng, who was dressed in a green official uniform, walked to the Mingyuan Drum on the right side of the head gate, held drumsticks in both hands, and beat loudly.

Two judicial historians in crimson clothes walked out, eyes full of impatience: "It's not good for the city (bad luck)! Yesterday, the Shaofu stopped fighting each other and ordered each of them to seek medical treatment. They just wanted to find trouble for themselves."

His eyes moved to Lu Jiasheng's official robe, and the judicial history closed his mouth.

This is grade suppression.

From the seventh rank, Xuan Yilang no longer has real power, no matter if he is a Wensan official, he is still an official!
No matter how powerful the judicial history is, he is only a foreign official!
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat mud.

Not that (helpless), the judicial history led the people of Dunhua Fang, over the head gate, and walked to the west gate of Yimen.

Fan Zheng stopped, and all the residents of Dunhua also stopped.

Lu Jiasheng recalled it, and couldn't help being furious: "Even if I'm not qualified to go to the middle door, I haven't fallen to the point of going to the ghost door, right?"

Yimen has three doors.

The middle gate only walks through the county magistrate and welcomes the superior officials. The popular saying "open the middle gate" is this gate;
The east gate is for officials and common people to come and go, and it is called "Shengmen Gate" and "Renmen Gate";
Ximen is used for the entry and exit of condemned prisoners, and it is called "Death Gate" and "Ghost Gate".

Si Hushi led the people of Dunhua Fang to hell, he was deliberately disgusting people, if Lu Jiasheng couldn't remember it, he would really be tricked.

The two sihushi just quibbled, saying they were slippery, and turned their heads and led the crowd through the east gate.

After passing the Yayuan, there are Liucao Gongfang on the east and west sides, and the Gongtang on the north, which is the Nanya. The word "South" refers to the direction of facing.

When the drums sounded, the court officials were bound to arrive. The county magistrate Niu Dewen sat behind the case in displeasure in a scarlet robe.

Don't you know that if you break Dunhuafang, it's a blessing to suffer?
Do not haggle over every detail!

There are two kneeling stones under the hall, one for the suing party and one for the responding party. If Lu Jiasheng was not dressed in official robes, Niu Dewen would not be able to make him kneel!

After asking a few simple questions, he took out the green lottery from the lottery container, and Niu Dewen ordered the bad guy to go and call yesterday's Que Shiniu and others.

There are red-headed lottery and green-headed lottery in the lottery tube, the red-headed lottery is the punishment lottery, and the green-headed lottery is the arrest lottery.

Bad ridge is another name for bad people. It is used by the government to recruit people with bad deeds to serve as arresting officials. It is outside the official establishment given by the imperial court.

Que Shi Niu wears a head, a brocade robe, and black leather shoes. It looks fat (obese), and its protruding belly stretches the brocade robe tightly. (Furiously) He led more than a dozen evil slaves into the yamen with crabbed steps, and when he saw the people in Dunhua, he just sneered.

"A group of farm slaves dare to sue this young master, they won't die!"

Lu Jiasheng raised his voice: "The Ming government has also heard this. I don't know what to do when this unruly person insults the imperial court official. If Wannian County is afraid of the opponent's power, I will beat the Denghe (wen) drum and stand under the lung stone."

Que Shiniu's face changed a bit, he didn't expect Dunhuafang to be so ruthless, but it was just a matter of a few farmers in the fields, and officials were dispatched to file a lawsuit!

Knocking on the drum is a complaint against the imperial court.

The lung stone is not shaped like a lung, but a crimson stone, just a fake word.

"Tang Liudian" clearly records that the imperial court is standing under the lung stone, and it is a misinterpretation to say that standing above the lung stone.

Because he lacks food and cattle, no official, no title, no honor, he is just a commoner, and if Xuan Yilang is called "a farmer's slave", even Niu Dewen, who is inclined to the early decision, can't favor him, so he can only order ten sticks.

No way, the regulation of flogging is ten to fifty rods, and it can only be rounded up, there can be no less.

Rod punishment and gauntlet punishment, in addition to the difference in number, are slightly different in the specifications of the instruments of torture.

The joints and eyes of the sticks are all cut off, and they are three feet and five inches long.

The diameter of the large head of the interrogation stick is two-thirds and two centimeters, and the small end is two-thirds and two centimeters;
The big head of the standing stick is divided into two and seven centimeters, and the small head is divided into one and seven centimeters;
The big end of the cane is two points, and the small end is one and a half points.

It was obvious that the questioning in Wannian County was selfish. The cane was swung so loudly that it fell on Que Shi's legs with such force that it was like dusting.

But so what?

It's better than three drinks, right?

It's better than pretending to be deaf and dumb, right?
Not to mention Lu Jiasheng, even Fan Zheng is helpless with this fake trick.

No matter how dazzling Ren Datang's light is, there are always dark places that cannot be illuminated.

With a "pop", the gavel slapped, and Niu Dewen began to ask questions.

Lu Jiasheng protested: "Wait a minute! This official is Xuan Yilang from the seventh rank, so he doesn't need to kneel; he is He Guan, He Jue, He Xun, and he is the same as this official!"

If Lu Jiasheng didn't notice this, Niu Dewen could pretend to be deaf and dumb, and Fan Zheng had taught Lu Jiasheng these twists and turns, and Niu Dewen could only make Que Shiniu kneel on the kneeling stone.

Unlike usual kneeling and sitting with seats and mats, when Que Shiniu knelt down, his calf bones were pierced so painfully that his tears almost burst out.

In the yamen, idlers from various workshops came in with arms folded, calling friends and friends to find a good seat, and watching the excitement in the courtroom with a smile on their faces.

As for who wins and who loses, the result is not important, what is important is that it can become their talk in the future.
