I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 16 Confrontation in the Lobby
No matter who it is today, if there is no justifiable reason, if they dare to beat the Dengwen drum, they must not be lightly forgiven!
"Who plays the drums?"

"I--"

Wang Zian cupped his hands at Gao Ziqian.

"Do you know that beating the Dengwen drum for no reason is a serious crime?"

Gao Ziqian didn't bother to care about how this guy, who didn't know whether he was a monk or a scholar, called himself, so he just asked coldly with a sullen face.

"When His Majesty established the Dengwen Drum, he once said that those who have grievances and cannot avenge themselves should stand on the lung stone, or the Dengwen Drum. Why, is it possible that the Dengwen Drum in Chang'an County can't beat it?"

Gao Ziqian was choked by his few words, his pale face almost turned into an eggplant.Wang Zi'an turned a blind eye to Gao Ziqian's face, he is just a fool who indulges his subordinates, what is there to respect?
"Now under my lord's rule, there are dirty and injustices. I feel aggrieved, so I beat the Dengwen drum. I want to sue Sun Hu, the county captain of Chang'an County—"

"It's nonsense! My lord, I want to sue this person for attacking me in the banquet building, viciously hurting people, and causing people to be disabled—"

Don't you have an AB number in your heart?You are just a gangster who was caught, and you actually sued the official in a serious manner!Above the lobby, the difference between the plaintiff and the defendant is quite large.Changsun Hu couldn't bear it any longer at this time, and immediately grabbed him and shouted for grievances.

"Don't be impatient, just step back."

Gao Ziqian glared at Sun Changhu, and waved him back.At this time, it is different from the past, the young man in front of him directly beat the Dengwen drum, and what happened today, I am afraid that it will be heard by Datian soon.This kind of behavior of suing the government by the people is particularly sensitive. If it is not handled properly, it may be lost forever. What's more, there is an unknown Li Huairen sitting next to him.

"I want to sue Sun Hu, the county captain of Chang'an County. He used his power to cover up and condone the local ruffians in Xishi, causing ordinary people to have nowhere to say their grievances, and they dare not speak out. In order to rob money, Lai Pizhang beat up a helpless seventy-year-old woman, Grandma Sun, on Bronze Street in Xishi City, causing the old woman to be seriously injured and almost died. But he, Changsun Hu, ignored the reporter of the suffering master and instead fought with the murderer I don’t know how to thank my lord for sitting in the banquet hall, drinking and having fun, but I want to spread the word, it’s enough to chill the hearts of the people all over the world.”

After Wang Zi'an finished speaking, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Gao Ziqian to see his reaction.Changsun Hu couldn't help being terrified, he never thought that this young man who suddenly beat him up would dare to beat the Dengwen drum directly and bite himself back when he was in danger.Let him go on talking, I'm afraid something bad will happen.

"Nonsense! My lord, he is the first to sue—"

"Back off! Right and wrong, this official has his own judgment. If you dare to interrupt indiscriminately, be careful that this official is merciless!"

Gao Ziqian slapped the gavel and shouted in a deep voice.

"Come on, go to Grandma Sun's house in Bronze Lane, West City, to check the situation, and report immediately after verification!"

Naturally, a yamen servant came forward, took the seal arrow, and walked away quickly.

"Changsun Hu, someone accuses you of covering up ruffians and condoning the law, can you plead guilty?"

Gao Ziqian suppressed the anger in his chest, staring at Changsun Hu's swollen and purple face, wishing to give him a kick too.As an officer, he doesn't mind that his subordinates are a little messy, but the premise is that he can hold them together.If you can't hold back and are pushed away by others, it is your incompetence.And you couldn't control the suspect you escorted, and let him beat the Dengwen drum in a grandiose manner. Are you a pig?Gao Ziqian scolded the sky in his heart, so naturally he would not be angry.With the sound of Dengwen's drum, not to mention anything else, I can't get away with the sin of being lax.

"I was wronged. I did drink with Sun Dachui and Lai Pizhang today. Because these two people have helped the county government to collect taxes and maintain local law and order many times in the past. I am grateful for their contributions, so I specially set up Banquet, to show the consolation of the imperial court, how can we cover up the collusion?"

Sun Changhu was not afraid of Gao Ziqian's attitude, he flicked his official robe as if he hadn't seen it, turned around and looked at Wang Zi'an with a cold smile.

"Don't say that the two have contributed to the imperial court. Even if I really don't notice for a while, being deceived by these two people is at most just a crime of negligence. What evidence do you have to falsely claim that this official is covering up collusion?"

Speaking of this, Sun Changhu cupped his fists at Gao Ziqian and accused him tearfully.

"On the contrary, I want to sue this daring troublemaker for attacking the court officials, maliciously hurting people, and causing people to be disabled. Please be careful."

Wang Zi'an glanced at this guy with a swollen pig's head in surprise. This guy is not simple. If he insists on asking for evidence, he will really have a hard time dealing with it unless he can make Sun Dahui or Lai Pi open his mouth.

Of course, Sun Changhu is not easy.In such an important place in Chang'an County, it is impossible for Changsun's family to put a straw bag up. Changsun Hu has been in the position of county captain in Chang'an County for so long without being promoted. That's all.

Seeing Sun Changhu say that, Gao Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief.Although he knew that Sun Changhu had tricks under his hands, he didn't want to be directly poked out by someone beating Dengwen's drum at this time.He glanced at Wang Zi'an and asked calmly.

"You say that Changsun Hu is covering up the gangsters and colluding with the lawless, do you have evidence?"

"Grandma Sun's family reported the incident to the authorities, but the officials did not go to check and inquire, but Sun Changhu, who was in charge of the matter, was toasting with the murderer. How can I explain it?"

With a calm face, Wang Zi'an asked lightly.

"Chang'an County is an important place in the capital. There are more than a hundred things that happen in a day? It's common for people to be unable to move around. What's so strange? If you don't ask today, it doesn't mean you won't ask tomorrow. Could it be that the Chang'an County Government is a specialist?" Can't it be set up just for you? As for drinking with Sun and Zhang, as I said earlier, it's just my thanks to the two for their assistance in government work."

Sun Changhu saw Gao Ziqian's face softened slightly, and couldn't help but regain his courage. He glanced at Wang Zi'an with disdain, put his hands behind his back, and said condescendingly.

"You said that Sun and Zhang were rampant and lawless. They beat the lonely old man in his seventies, and almost caused death. How do you know that it was not bloody? I happen to have the impression of the grandma you mentioned. She was originally a resident of Bronze Lane, and her husband died. The son died, and the daughter-in-law remarried at an early age. She was alone and raised a young grandson. Life is difficult on weekdays, and she makes a living by occasionally doing odd jobs or setting up street stalls. Where does such an old woman come from with huge assets? People of worth take risks and take it forcibly?"

The more Sun Changhu talked, the more imposing he became. No matter what it is, in this hall, if he gets some evidence and kindness, he really thinks that with his blood, two fists can conquer the world, how naive and ridiculous it is.

"Hehe—what a coincidence, I really know how Grandma Sun got her assets. If your lord wants to know how Grandma Sun got her silver taels, you might as well ask Mr. Cheng Chubi Cheng."
