Chapter 46: Meeting the Officials
Third brother, Zi Heng joined the membership and received Queer's bag. The bag was very delicate. Zi Heng liked it very much. She played with it in her hands and felt a little happy. The girl didn't know how to worry, and she still had a bitter face just now. At this time, she finally diluted a little gloom and said to the third brother: "It's not too early, so we should go back quickly."
The third brother nodded.
Chen Ao respectfully saluted Chen Ji and said to Chen Ji in full view: "Master, it's time to go back."
Chen Ji was very reluctant, but when he saw many eyes coming, it was difficult to destroy the atmosphere. He had to hum and let Chen Ao raise him up and say goodbye to everyone.
"I'm honored to see Mr. Chen, see Mr. Chen again." Many people stood up quickly and bid farewell to Chen Ji. Zeng Sui'an was the warmest and kept talking with Chen Ao, sending him out, saying, "Brother Chen has time, so he must come to Sui Yashan House from time to time, and learn more from Brother Chen in the future."
Chen Ao smiled in his heart: "Suiyashan House is mine, who will come if I don't come?" But his face was very sincere: "We will not fight or make a deal. We will get closer in the future. Mr. Zeng doesn't have to send him away. I will send my master back and come back in a few days."
Zeng Sui'an smiled and said, "It's great. I'll be waiting for Brother Chen to be the first to go."
After leaving Suiyashan House, there was already a crowd of people outside. It turned out that many people had not left yet. Seeing Chen Ao and Zeng Sui'an, Chen Ji came out and caused a sensation. Someone shouted: "Mr. Chen, the student is polite."
Chen Ji's face twitched today. When others smiled at him, he smiled and gave him a greeting, but there were too many people who smiled at him, and the muscles on his face were a little stiff.
At this time, several public men pushed the crowd out. One of them looked like a middle-aged man holding an iron ruler in his hand. He stood out under the guard of the servants and asked, "Which one is Chen Ao?"
Chen Ji's heart skipped a beat and his face suddenly turned dark. Chen Ao just recognized his master on the spot. Something happened to the student in front of everyone. This...
Chen Ao seemed calm and calm, and said, "I am."
He shouted loudly: "Chen Ao, your news is revealed. Come on, take him lock and follow me to the yamen."
The men behind Dutou took the wooden shackles and stepped forward. Chen Ji shouted loudly: "Let's wait!" There was no way, and he got on the pirate ship. He had to ask clearly before talking about this matter. This loud shout was full of energy and asked, "What did he do? What crime do you have?"
Seeing that Chen Ji was guarded by many people and was wearing a Confucian shirt, he became much more polite and said, "It is time to commit fraud. Now the victim has sued the yamen. We are here to ask for someone on the order of Judge Li Tong."
Chen Ji looked at Chen Ao, and saw that Chen Ao's face was calm. At this time, he couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he had to say, "There is a public opinion on right and wrong. Since there is no conviction, why should I lock it up? Are you still afraid that he will run away?"
Zeng Sui'an also said: "Brother Chen will definitely not do illegal things. You will be a rash person to hold them like this insulting the innocence of our scholars." Zeng Sui'an tried his best to protect Chen Ao, not knowing whether it was true or false, but he was really smart in doing so. Zeng Sui'an lost just now. The more he maintained Chen Ao, the more he could show his magnanimity and prove that he had a broad mind, his knowledge was not terrible than others, and his good character could also gain respect from others.
Du said, "Who are you? Do we still need you to teach our yamen? "
Zeng Sui'an bowed to the capital with a respectful manner and said, "I have met the public."
Zeng Sui'an? This name sounds very familiar. Oh, I remembered that this person's father seemed to be the Chief Censor, and such a person could not afford to offend him. Dutou's nameless fire disappeared immediately and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Zeng is pleading with mercy, Chen Ao must have been falsely accused. Since that's the case, there is no need to lock it up. Chen Ao, please follow us."
Chen Ao nodded: "Please lead the way." He seemed very confident, without any panic. Only one person sued him, Pan Ren's family. However, Chen Ao gave the situation without any leaks and no handle to anyone. If he was to tell evidence, he was not afraid. But if someone wanted to bully others with his power, Chen Ao would be even more confident.
Seeing Chen Ao, determined and calm, everyone felt that he was mostly wronged. Today he was in the limelight and now he encountered a lawsuit again, many people followed him excitedly, wanting to see the excitement.
As a result, more and more people followed. Later, even some peddlers came, asking everyone what happened, and some shouted and yelled, which was very lively.
When they arrived at the Jingzhao Government Office, many people stopped and looked at it. They all walked into the gate with Chen Ao, followed the brick corridor on the central axis, and walked around the screen wall to reach the second ritual gate. The ritual gate is a lobby courtyard with concentrated government affairs functions, with six rooms in total, but at this time there are only three rooms, usually only one deep. The six doors are usually closed, and will only be opened when Shangguan arrives or the elders of the prefecture and county officials come. The prefecture and county officials are welcomed and given away.
There is a stone tablet in front of the Yimen Gate. When Chen Ao passed by, he saw sixteen large vermilion red characters, "Your salary is your own money, the people are rich, the people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to deceive."
"This is the legendary Shiming of the Ring Shi." Chen Ao thought to himself. Looking around, he saw a group of black-robed officers standing in the three open doors, each holding a water and fire stick waiting for a long time. Deeper was a hall official, who couldn't see his face clearly, and there was a bit of momentum under the plaque hanging high in the mirror. There was a person kneeling in the hall, like a woman, and a little bit higher up there, and a person was drinking tea slowly on the stool beside the few bits.
Chen Ao took a deep breath. As an art thief, he was very resistant to the yamen, but since he came, he had no reason to be timid.
Everyone looked at Chen Ao with a pity: "My husband is a scholar? Alas, why should you mess with the people in the palace if you don't study well? Take care of yourself." As he said that, Chen Ao said: "You wait here first, I'll report back to the hall official. The hall official will ask you to come in later. You are more respectful and may still have room for maneuver."
Chen Ao said to Dutou sincerely: "Thank you, Dutou reminds me, is the people in the palace related to the Jiaofangsi?"
Duo patted his shoulder and whispered: "That's right, this inner official is extraordinary. Even the magistrate must respect him. The victim is the legitimate sister of this inner official."
Chen Ao nodded and smiled, "I understand, please go and report it."
All of them looked like they were doing their jobs and said, "Chen Ao, when you enter this public service, you need to report carefully. If there is any grievance, you will be the one who seeks justice for you. If there is any illegal act, don't blame the ruthless law of the country." After that, he walked into the lobby and said loudly to the officials behind the case: "The suspect Chen Ao is brought here."
The official was about forty years old, wearing the official uniform of Yunyan's thin brocade, with a cold face and a majestic look. He picked up the gavel and said loudly: "Come on!"
"pass."
