Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1199 Zhu Ping'an is very busy (1)

  Zhu Ping'an was very busy today. Before Zhang Xiancheng and others went to Liuhe Town to wait for Eunuch Qian, Zhu Ping'an had already gotten up early. It was still dark outside and the rooster hadn't crowed yet.

  Actually, Zhu Pingan has been very busy since he took office as magistrate of Jingnan County. Although a county is small, the embryo of everything is in the prefecture and county. Officials, households, rituals, soldiers, criminals, and workers are indispensable for official duties. Especially in the past, the prefect of Jingnan had changed frequently, and there was a few months of vacancy before taking over, and there were many official duties left over. Although Zhu Pingan took up the post of logistics and official duties, there were still some official duties that had not been completed.

   Just this time, busier.

  Jingnan has experienced the Japanese invasion, a lot of waste is waiting for prosperity, there is a lot of work to calm the people, relief, reconstruction, production restoration, etc. In addition, the autumn harvest is approaching, and the county government needs to do a lot of work to ensure the smooth progress of the autumn harvest.

  Zhu Ping'an simply ate the breakfast prepared by Hua'er, and then arrived at the county government office early, and began to deal with urgent official duties.

  Speaking of which, Hua'er's cooking skills have improved a lot during this time, at least the food she cooks is not so salty, and she has risen from the dark cooking world to the rookie cooking world. Although the cooked food is not good in color, taste not good, and it is not very delicious, but it is ready to eat.

  After the **** crowed, the new subordinate officials rushed to the county government office one after another, and none of them was late.

  The rooster is crowing, and the court is full.

  The east is bright, and the dynasty is prosperous.

   Zhu Ping'an is very satisfied with the new atmosphere of the county government.

   Not only Zhu Ping'an was satisfied, but the people in Jingnan County were also very satisfied. Yesterday, a tea merchant came to the county government office to handle tea imports. He was surprised to find that the subordinate officials at the county government office did not accept his filial piety. You must know that in the past, every time they came to the county government office to find subordinate officials, they had to donate money. This is called "conventional practice", but no matter how hard he tried yesterday, the subordinate staff just refused to accept him. Yesterday, a few ordinary people came to the county government office to do business, and they were also surprised that the county government officials were enthusiastic and obedient, and the affairs were handled quickly and smoothly. Later they learned the truth from a subordinate official who they knew. The subordinate official said that the county government had restructured the county government, investigated the six houses of the county government, got rid of all the bad rules, and banned all the explicit and implicit bad habits of eating and taking cards. If found, they will be punished severely.

   The common people clapped their hands and cheered for the new people and new atmosphere in the county government, but they were just worried that it would not last long.

  The rice will be harvested soon, and Zhu Pingan plans to take the people from the household and workshops to inspect the villages and towns below after finishing the urgent business in the morning. However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Not long after the opening of the office, Zhu Ping'an had just finished handling the urgent business in his hands, and was about to call Mr. Xie, Mrs. Liu and others to go out. Before Zhu Ping'an got up, he heard "" Boom, boom, boom" three drumbeats.

  Someone beat the drum and sounded the lawsuit.

  When someone beats drums and sounds a lawsuit, it is natural to go up to the court to decide the case. Zhu Ping'an asked people to ascend to the hall and brought up the drummer.

   It was very noisy outside, and it felt like there were a lot of people.

   Sure enough, the government officials brought in seventeen or eighteen villagers. These people dragged and pushed a monk and a nun. And while pushing and shoving, he scolded such words as shameless, immoral, breaking the rules, and adultery.

  The monk and the nun were **** respectively, and dragged staggeringly into the lobby by the crowd.

  The monk was very embarrassed, his monk's robe was torn and deformed, half of his arm was exposed, stained with egg shells and rotten vegetable leaves, and there were bruises on his body, but they were minor injuries, not serious. The nun was also in a mess. There were egg shells and rotten vegetable leaves on her monk's clothes, but she was much better than the monk, and there were no scars on her body.

  In addition to these parties, there were also many spectators following in from outside. There were seventy or eighty people, and the surrounding area of ​​the county government hall was blocked.

  In the past, the county government tried cases in public only occasionally, or only for particularly important cases.

  After Zhu Pingan came to Jingnan, he established a rule that all lawsuits brought to the Jingnan County Government, except for a few private cases, should be heard in public. Once the hall is up for adjudication, the gates of the Jingnan County Yamen are all wide open, allowing ordinary people to come to the hall to watch and listen. Of course, ordinary people can watch and listen in, but they can't make loud noises to affect the judgment of the case, or they will be expelled.

  Zhu Ping’an’s intention is to allow the common people to sit in on the case, firstly, to promote the fair trial of the case, secondly, to improve the credibility of the county government, and thirdly, to educate the common people by hearing the case.

   Ordinary people like to watch the excitement, and there were not many entertainment activities in ancient times. Every time Zhu Pingan was promoted to trial, many ordinary people would come to watch, and more and more ordinary people would join in on the sidelines.

   Now, the trial of cases by the Jingnan County Government has almost become a fixed legal publicity program in Jingnan County, and the ratings are very high and getting higher and higher. Every time the court is promoted to decide a case, the outside of the hall is full of people who watch the excitement and eat melons.

  Today’s case is very special. The protagonists actually involve a monk and a nun. Listening to the villagers scolding them for being shameless, not following the rules, and fornicating, it’s obviously still a sexual case.

  Monk, nun, adultery. Religion, gossip, sex, privacy and other multiple factors are involved.

  This topic is an explosive news in modern times, let alone feudal and conservative ancient times.

  The villagers kidnapped monks and nuns to report to the officials. This explosive news, on their way to report to the officials, blew up Jingnan County. It was spread from ten to hundreds, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout the county.

  So, just after being promoted to the hall today, the common people who were watching formed a mountain and a sea of ​​people outside the hall.

   "Really, the monk and the nun had an affair?! How did they do it? Where did they catch it? Did they really do that?"

   "My dear mother, this is too exciting, the monk who cut off the mortal relationship and asked the six roots to ask for advice has an affair with a nun?!"

   "Oh, it's too shameless, it's outrageous, such a corrupt person should be put in a pigsty."

"A monk and a nun are not guilty of a sinking pigsty. They are all monks. Once they become a monk, they break the relationship between parents and children and are not controlled by family laws and regulations. They just don't abide by the rules and regulations, and they don't kill people and set fires. They are not a sinking pigsty." Bar."

  While waiting for the case to be promoted to the court, the ordinary people who were watching were already discussing it with great interest.

   "Ascension!"

  Zhu Pingan slapped the gavel in the lobby, and after a crisp sound, he was ordered to ascend the hall.

   "Mighty."

  The two rows of yamen servants under the hall beat the water and fire sticks vigorously, shouting mighty. The hall prestige effect was prominent, and the hall immediately quieted down.

  The seventeen or eighteen villagers under the hall knelt down one after another, and the monks and nuns were also pressed to kneel down by them.
