Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Zhang Si shivered for a while, and said tremblingly, "I, I, I... I am..."

The guard saw Zhang Si's tattered clothes, so he yelled, "What are you! Beg for food and get out of the way! This is the palace!"

"I...I'm not begging for food!" Zhang Si took out a piece of paper, "I'm here to sue!"

"Complaint?" The soldier stepped forward and nodded Zhang Si's straw hat and said, "Complain to Kaifeng Mansion!"

Zhang Si supported the straw hat, "I'm here to sue the imperial court!"

"What what? Sue imperial court?" The soldier looked at Zhang Si up and down again, "Hahaha, are you suing imperial court? Who are you suing?"

"Sue our local bullies!"

"Local? Where?"

"Caijia Village Outside Dragon City"

"Dragon City? Then you go to the Dragon City government, why did you come to the capital?"

"The bullies are rich and powerful. The officials have nothing to do with them. I can't live anymore. I can only come to the capital to sue."

"That's it..." The guard thought for a while, "But according to the rules of the imperial court, you have to go through the Dengwen Drum Court, Dengwen Procuratorate, and the Physical Procuratorate. If you don't accept the case, you can come here."

Zhang Laosi was stunned when he heard this, "What... Drum Court? Do you want to play three drums?"

"I really can't explain to you," the guard curled his lips, "but there is no other way to sue yourself."

Zhang Laosi hastily handed over his hand, "My lord! As long as I can sue for impeachment, I'm willing to do anything."

"That is, you really have a big grievance that even the officials dare not deal with, and then you come here to beat the drum, so that the military leader will present the case directly to His Majesty for you." The guard pointed to the palace. Inside the door, "the Tiangu for the imperial petition is inside, but do you have the petition? I'll take a look first."

Zhang Si gave the pleading paper to the guard. The guard opened it and looked at it, but didn't understand it at all. "I said, did you take it wrong? Is this the pleading?"

"It's a certificate."

The guard took the pleading paper and showed it to several other people, but they didn't understand it. At this time, the palace gate official came over, "What's the matter with the noise?"

"Boss, this old man is here to sue the imperial court."

"Sue the imperial court?" The little official looked at Zhang Si, "Who do you want to sue?"

"Cai Erhuai from Caijia Village outside Longcheng! He forcibly occupied the people's land! Killing people!"

"Cai Erhuai? Do you have a warrant?"

Zhang Sizhi pointed out that the guards were "in his hands"

The little official took it and looked at it, "What is this painting?"

"Boss, the old man said this is the first case."

The little official thought, "Wait a minute! You guys are optimistic about him."

After the little official left, he would come back and "bring him in!"

Two guards took Zhang Si and followed the little official to a hut in the barracks of the imperial guards.As soon as he entered the door, he saw a fat officer sitting on a chair drinking, and there were two soldiers standing on both sides. When he saw someone coming in, he said, "Is that him?"

"Yes," said the clerk, "that's him."

"Well, you go out first. This matter cannot be spread outside the public for the time being. I will talk about it after I ask."

"Yes, I will resign from the humble position." The petty official gave the pleading paper to the officer, and then left the barracks. The officer looked at Zhang Si and asked, "What's your name?"

"My lord, my name is Zhang Si"

"Cai Family Village?"

"Yes Yes."

"Who are you going to sue?"

"Cai Erhuai."

The officer put down his wine glass, "Oh? Tell me, why did you sue him?"

Zhang Si thought that this officer was the officer who introduced the chief of the army, so he told all his experiences in detail. After he finished speaking, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, but the officer was expressionless after hearing this, "Well, that's it, What about your papers?"

"What you are holding is the pleadings."

"This?" The officer shook the paper
