Zhu Pingan was very busy today, as early as the time before County Minister Zhang and the others went to the entrance of Liuhe Township to wait for Eunuch Qian, Zhu Pingan had already woken up early, when it was still snappily dark outside and the rooster had not yet crowed.
In fact, Zhu Pingan has been very busy since he took office as the governor of Jingnan. Although a county is small, but everything embryo, all in the state and county, officials, households, rituals, military, criminal, which kind of official work are less. Especially before the Jingnan governor change frequently, before taking over and have a few months of window period, the leftover public affairs is very much, although Zhu Pingan inauguration logistics in public affairs, but there is still a part of the public affairs have not been dealt with.
It was just that during this time, it was even busier.
After the Japanese disaster in Jingnan, there were many things to be done to pacify the people, provide relief, rebuild, and restore production; coupled with the fact that the autumn harvest was approaching, there was a lot of work that needed to be done at the county government offices to ensure that the autumn harvest would go smoothly.
Zhu Pingan simply ate the breakfast prepared by Painter, and then went to the county office early to start dealing with the urgent business.
Speaking of which, during this period of time, Painter’s cooking skills had improved a lot, at the very least, the food she made was not so salty, and she had already ascended from the dark cuisine world to the rookie cuisine world. Although the rice that was made, the colour was not great, the taste was not great, and it wasn’t much delicious, but it was already ready to be eaten.
After the rooster crowed, the newly appointed Suxian officials arrived at the county office one after another to answer the dawn call, and there was not a single one who was late.
When the rooster crows, the court is full.
When the east is bright, the court is prosperous.
Zhu Pingan was very satisfied with the new people at the county office.
Not only Zhu Pingan satisfied, Jingnan County people are also very satisfied. Yesterday, a tea merchant came to the county government office for tea, he was surprised to find that the county government office ear xuwen actually do not accept his filial piety, to know that in the past every time they come to the county government office to look for xuwen to do things, every time they have to dedicate the money, which is known as the “common practice”, but yesterday, no matter how much effort, xuwen is not to accept, not only not to accept, the tea guide for the exceptionally fast!Yesterday, however, no matter how hard he tried, the magistrate refused to accept the money. Yesterday, a few people came to the county office to do some work, but they were also surprised that the magistrates were so warm and accommodating, and that things were done quickly and smoothly. Later, they learnt the truth from an official they knew. The official said that the county magistrate had reformed the county office, investigated the six rooms of the magistrate, eliminated all the bad rules, and outlawed all the explicit and implicit practices of accepting bribes and asking for favours, and that once discovered, he would be severely punished and not penalised.
For the new people in the county government office new atmosphere, the people all applauded, just worried about can not be long just.
Immediately after the rice harvest, Zhu Pingan plans to take the people from the household room and work room to go to the following townships to inspect one more time in the morning after dealing with the important official business. However, plans can’t catch up with changes, not long after the opening of the Yamen, Zhu Pingan’s hands just finished dealing with important business, and was about to call on Xie Lao, Liu Fu Zi and others to go out, not yet waiting for Zhu Pingan to get up, he heard “dong dong dong dong dong” three drums from the outside.
Someone beat the drums to sound the lawsuit.
When someone beats a drum to sound a lawsuit, naturally, the court must be raised to decide the case. Zhu Pingan asked people to rise to the hall and bring the drummer to the court.
It was very noisy outside, and it felt like there were a lot of people.
Sure enough, the magistrates brought in 17 or 18 villagers, who were dragging and shoving a monk and a nun. While pushing and shoving, they scolded the monk and the nun for being shameless, fornicating, not abiding by the rules of purity, and fornicating, and so on.
The monk and the nun were tied up and staggered into the hall by the crowd.
The monk was in a very sorry state, his monk’s clothes were torn and deformed, exposing half of his bladder, stained with eggshells and rotten vegetable leaves, and there were wounds on his body, but they were minor and not serious. Nuns are also in a mess, monk’s clothes with eggshells, rotten vegetable leaves, but much better than the monk, the body has not seen injuries.
In addition to these parties, the outside also wheel followed in a lot of people watching the crowd, there are seventy or eighty people like, will be the county court hall outside the water.
In the past, when the county court tried a case, it was only occasionally open, or only for particularly important cases.
After Zhu Pingan came to Jingnan, he set up a rule that all cases that are brought to the county court in Jingnan, except for very few private cases, all other litigation cases should be heard in public. Once a case is heard in the courtroom, the door to the courtroom in Jingnan County is opened wide, allowing the people to watch and listen in front of the courtroom. Of course, the people can watch and listen, but they can’t make a lot of noise and influence the judgement, or else they will be expelled.
Zhu Pingan intended to allow the people to listen to the trial, one can promote the fair trial of the case, the second can improve the credibility of the county magistrate, and the third is through the trial of the case, to educate the people.
The people, like to see the fun, and not much entertainment in ancient times, Zhu Pingan every time he rises to the trial, there will be a lot of people come to watch, and in the middle of the more and more people will join the spectators.
Now, the Jingnan County Court trial has become a regular legal propaganda programme in Jingnan County, and the ratings are very high, getting higher and higher. Every time a case is heard in the courtroom, the outside of the courtroom is crowded with spectators.
Today, this case is very special, the protagonist even involves a monk and a nun, listen to the villagers scolded shameless, do not abide by the rules of purity, fornication and other words, it is obvious that it is still a case of peach colour …….
Monk, Nun, Fornication ……Involved multiple factors such as religion, gossip, peach colour and privacy.
This topic to modern times are an explosive news, let alone feudal conservative ancient times.
The explosive news of villagers tying up monks and nuns to report to the police, on their way to report to the police, they blew up the city of Jingnan County. One by one, the word spread, and it didn’t take long for it to spread throughout the county.
Therefore, today, only just after the hall had been raised, the commoners who were listening to the proceedings had formed a mountain and sea of people outside the hall.
“Really, ah, a monk and a nun fornicating? How did they do it? Where did they catch them? Did they really have sex?”
“My dear mother, this is too exciting, isn’t it, the monk who has cut off the dust and the six roots of the world is actually having sex with a nun?!”
“Alas, it’s too shameful, it’s a disgrace, this kind of corrupt person should be sunk in a pigsty.”
“Monks and nuns fornication offence can not be sunk pigsty, they are monks, once out of the family will break the parents and children of kinship relations, not subject to the clan law and regulations, they just do not abide by the precepts of purity, and did not kill and set fire to, the offence can not be sunk pigsty it.”
While waiting for the court to hear the case, the people on the sidelines have already discussed with interest.
“Raise the hall!”
Zhu Pingan slapped the shocking wood in the hall, and after a crunching sound, he drank the order to ascend the hall.
“Wei ……Martial ……”
The two rows of yamen under the hall struck the water and fire sticks with vigour, shouting might. The effect of the hall’s might was highlighted, and the hall immediately quieted down.
The seventeen or eighteen villagers under the hall kneeled down, and the monks and nuns were also pressed by them to kneel down.
