peasant family

Chapter 382 You were the ones beating the drums just now?
"Mother, the magistrate will definitely decide for us, so don't worry!" Shen Qing felt that Lu's was very nervous, and his small hand held Lu's big hand, giving Lu's strength invisible.

"What a good boy, let's beat the drums and complain!"

With that said, the five members of their family walked towards Mingyuan Drum. Han Yunwen picked up the drumstick and hit it again and again. Every time he hit it, Mingyuan Drum would make a rumbling sound.

After a while, a yamen servant came out and invited them into the mansion hall, and the magistrate wanted to question him.

The government office is very large, including Nanqiao Tower, Yimen, Zhengtang, Ertang, etc.They accepted the inquiry from the magistrate in the main hall. On the Jieshi stele in the middle of the courtyard of the main hall, there are sixteen characters inscribed on it: "Er salary, people's fat and people's anointing. The lower people can be abused, but the heavens can't be bullied".

On the left and right sides, there are six east and west rooms for officials, households, rites, soldiers, punishments, and workers.

Entering the lobby, the first thing that catches the eye is two majestic couplets, one of which reads: "Abstain from corruption for politics, greedy for profit, greedy for fame and fame, don't be greedy for fame and forget about political affairs; keep honesty but be frugal, be frugal with yourself, A frugal person is not frugal, but he is also lenient and honest.”

It means that officials should be strict with themselves, treat others with tolerance, and get rid of greedy thoughts. Greed for money and profit is greed, and greed for fame and reputation is also greed.

The lobby is the courtroom where the magistrate issues orders and decides cases, and it is also the place where imperial edicts are read and major celebrations are held.The magistrate’s seal is contained in the wooden box on the desk, and the plaque above the lobby with “Mirror Hanging High” implies that officials judge cases fairly and cleanly, and enforce the law strictly.The background woodcarving "Sea Sea Ascension Sun Picture" symbolizes the character of an official who is "clear as sea water and as bright as the morning sun".

His Majesty the Prefect Wang saw that Shen Qing was not afraid of the majesty of the palace, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of curiosity, which made him smile. In the past, no matter whether it was an adult or a child, as long as anyone entered the palace, there was no one who was not afraid. He lowered his head, and his legs kept swinging in.

Only she came in with her head held high.

What a brave little girl.

The moment Shen Qing saw the magistrate, he felt that the magistrate was a gentle man, with soft eyes and brows.

Entering the lobby, Mrs. Lu and the others knelt on the ground one by one, and bowed to Mr. Wang one by one.

"The housewife Lu Xiuzhen of Han Lu's clan pays homage to Master Qingtian!"

"Xiaomin Han Yunwen, Han Yunqiao, Han Yunjing, and Shen Qing pay respects to Master Qingtian!"

Then they all kowtowed.

Daren Wang said: "Just now you beat the drums to express your grievances?"

"If you go back to your lord, it's Xiaomin!" Han Yunwen said.

Master Wang nodded: "Are you a family?"

Han Yunwen: "Exactly!"

"I don't know if you are beating the drums to protest your grievances, but is there anything you need my lord to decide for you?" Wang Zhifu asked in a very good temper, without any sense of majesty, as if he was a big brother.

This made their originally uneasy hearts a little bit better, and the whole person seemed to relax a lot.

Mrs. Lu kowtowed, and said: "Returning to your lord, our mother and son beat the drums to appeal for grievances because we want your lord to make decisions for us and punish the villain Liu Zhongtian!

We are from Baoyan Village, Wangjiang County. There is a person named Liu Zhongtian in our Baoyan Village. He is also a master of our Wangjiang County.
Ever since the woman married into the Han family, she felt bullied by Liu Zhongtian's family, and being beaten and scolded was commonplace.Especially my third son, Han Yunjing, who was judged as a bastard since he was a child, with bad luck, and was bullied and tortured..."
