"Dong, dong, dong..., dong~~"

The extremely rhythmic drum beats were like thunder, and they rang out outside the county government. The two doors that had been closed for many years in Wuji County finally slowly opened to both sides under the gaze of the people.

In the county government office, Yuan Shang was dressed in the costume of a county magistrate, with the county magistrate Feng Ji kneeling on the left, and Deng Chang and others who were temporarily in charge of the main room on the right.

Lu Lingqi was wearing strong clothes and was standing on the side.

Yuan Shang frowned, then raised his hand in dissatisfaction, pointed at Lu Lingqi and said, "You."

Lu Lingqi's face was as cool as usual. When she heard Yuan Shang call him, she greeted him with a light and gentle greeting: "Sir, call me?"

"If you don't go to recruit soldiers, what are you doing here? The county issued a ban on the first day of its tenure. No matter how big or small the officials in the city need to work hard and not be allowed to slacke in work."

Lu Lingqi's plain expression suddenly became a little strange. She squinted her eyes and looked at Yuan Shang for a long time, and sighed: "When I say it to you, it's not that the little girl is not trying her best. In the past few days, I have issued notices in the county and added a fundraising station, but unfortunately the results are very little and no one comes."

Yuan Shang's heart suddenly became a little blocked.

"You mean, no one wants to enlist in the army?"

"Yes, the male q in Jizhou has been very heavy in the transfer. If there is no explicit list of prefectures and counties, no one in each household would be willing to join the army to serve as soldiers. This morning, Mr. Tian and Mr. Ju have already gone to the recruitment house in person, but whether there will be any good solutions is still between the two."

When Yuan Shang heard this, his brows frowned deeply and began to worry in his heart.

There are really more and more waves. Now that the many trivial matters in the county government have not been sorted out, there are difficulties in recruiting troops. Time is tight. Yuan Shao will be tested in three months, but now he can't even get enough staff. What should he do in three months?

It's just a few hundred people's source of troops. Is it so difficult to solve?

Feng Ji coughed, interrupting Yuan Shang's thoughts.

"Sir, let's discuss the recruitment of troops in the future. Now many people outside the yamen are beating drums to seek justice. It's important to hear the case first."

Yuan Shang sighed, nodded in agreement, and said loudly: "Preview and promotion to court!"

When I was young, I saw two farmers wearing dirt and clothes, ragged clothes, and their hair was like chicken coops, and their hair was like chicken coops. They walked into the hall one by one.

The two are old and young, the old are nearly 60 years old, with a staggering step and a white beard, full of resentment, the young are only over ten years old, with a pale face and a thin and listless face. The turbid eyes are deeply helpless, and there is a sense of vicissitudes of life that are inconsistent with their own age.

Although they came from a farmer, they knew quite well the etiquette and rules. When they saw the county magistrate, they all bowed their heads and knelt down in the hall.

During this period, the young farmer boy raised his hand to help the old man kneel down, but was pushed aside by the other party, so he had to lower his head and smile bitterly.

Yuan Shang straightened his clothes and asked, "Who is in the hall? What kind of injustice? Come quickly. This county is very busy."

"Caomin Wu Dahuai, pay homage to the county master! Caomin will not do anything else today, but will only sue my son Wu Hong, to ruin the family business, not to support his father, and to disrespect filial piety, which will lose the filial piety and etiquette of the Han Dynasty! I hope the county master will make a clear decision." The older shouted loudly, and he was full of energy. I guess he was a reckless man when he was young.

When Yuan Shang heard this, his brows frowned deeply.

In the 400th year of the Han Dynasty, filial piety was governed by the world. In this era, the word "filial piety" was the foundation of establishing a person! The father's complaints to his son that he is not filial is related to his own family, and it is also related to the decent political achievements of the officials under the jurisdiction of a certain area. If it is not properly handled, it will inevitably be joked if it is spread.

"Old man Wu, why are your son Wu Hong unfilial? Just tell me in the lobby. If there is any grievance, my county will beat him up for you."

Old Man Wu turned his head and glanced at his son fiercely, and said angrily: "Master Zun of Qibing County, my father and son live in Wuzhuang, ten miles south of Wuji County. Although his family is not rich, he has two fields and three houses. He should be able to survive. The sky is not pitiful. The old man has no children and a thin population. It is not until he is five in his forties that he endured the pain and gave birth to such a bastard."

Yuan Shang was curious: "You don't need to give birth to a son, why are you enduring the pain?"

Old Man Wu rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "In order to have this evil knot, the old man's wife died of dysfunction. I haven't had sex for more than ten years. Sir, do you think the old man is in pain?"

"I have been living for more than ten years, and I have a very painful skin!

As if he was talking about his deceased wife inadvertently, Old Man Wu looked even more sad and angry, and said angrily: "Old Man Zi is alone, and she is a father and mother, and she has pulled this kid too hard. She is trying her best to give him a wife. She doesn't expect him to be successful, she just hopes that he can do his best to support me in my old age, but she doesn't want this little girl.

Zi was so hateful that he did not repay the old man's kindness, but he secretly sold all the two glutinous fields and a dirt house in his home to the Zhen family in Zhongshan. He was simply a traitor and was very unfilial!

The old man came here today, hoping that the county master can make the decision for the old man and punish this unfilial prodigal son!"

Speaking of this, Old Man Wu felt wronged and couldn't help but squeeze out a few tears.

His son Wu Hong did not make a statement, but he just calmly said, lowered his eyebrows and allowed Old Man Wu to sue him.

Yuan Shang nodded, thought for a while, but suddenly turned his head and asked Feng Ji who was kneeling on his left.

"Yuantu, what do you think about this?"

Feng Ji was surprised. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shang would ask him, and subconsciously glanced at Wu's father Mou.

"Sir, there is something wrong with this."

"" Speaking of this, Feng Ji raised his hand and pointed at Wu Hong, showing his cleverness: "My lord, although the old man Wu sued his son, although it was reasonable, his son kept bowing his head and not speaking. He was quite obedient, unlike ordinary man. There was something different about this. Why should I listen to him again?"

"Okay, you said, why sell your dad's house?"

The boy from Wu family trembled and shook his head heavily, saying sadly: "After the words of the adults, the grass-roots sell my father's family business, which is a last resort. The boy's wife was pregnant at the beginning of the year, which was a happy event, but she didn't want her health but she was getting worse and she couldn't take care of herself. The boy was looking for doctors in the county to see him, and they all said that the woman had weak body and had to be treated with decoctions, otherwise she might have difficult labor in the future."

Speaking of this, the boy from Wu's family actually shed two tears and said, "Caomin has no mother since he was young. He knows the pain and cannot bear to damage his wife's life. Therefore, he found the Zhen family and sold his body to save his wife and children. The Zhen family's lady was kind-hearted and saw that I was pitiful and could not bear to take it as a slave. She just bought my father's earthen house and land, and still handed it to the villain to farm. She only handed a little food and fodder every year."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Old Man Wu furious and interrupted: "You have any reason to do it? You are just a fu-hearted person, and it is worth your slave. It's so confused! Why don't you sell yourself for your father once!"

Yuan Shang looked up and wiped his cold sweat. This old man was not well educated. If his son really sold himself for him, wouldn’t he be burying his father?

Looking at the poor and dilemma of the Wu boy, Yuan Shang slapped the table in thought, and the thoughts in his mind were changing.

"Old Man Wu, your son has his indescribable difficulties in this move. Don't blame him too much. What you are angry with is just because the land and houses were sold to the Zhen family, and you can buy them back."

The Wu family boy burst into tears and couldn't do it himself: "Sir, I've used nearly half of the money, how can I still have to?"

Yuan Shang turned his head and looked at Feng Ji: "Yuantu, what do you think about this?"

"Sir, this is a matter of Jicai Putuo!

"Or why don't you take your pockets to help him put it on?"

"ah?"

The old man Wu and his son shouted at the county magistrate and sage, while walking out of the county government office with tears in their eyes.

The people surrounded the county government office and were still hesitant. Seeing this, the Wu family father and son were like this, the people suddenly became in love. They swung their hammers and drums one by one, and entered the county government office to seek justice.

The second case is the Li family in the east of the city. It tells the story that his husband belonged to the Zhen family tenant in Zhongshan. Due to the severe drought last year, he lost good seeds and saw that there was no farmland to plant in the spring of the following year. His father became ill and could not afford to get sick. He hoped that the county magistrate would make a quick arrangement and provide help to rescue the disaster.

Yuan Shang understood: "Yuantu, what do you think about this?"

"Sir, this is a natural disaster, and there is no solution."

"Or why do you think you can help him get the money for food and planting?"

Fengji:

The third case is a martial man from Huzhuang outside Xicheng. Because he has been protecting the Zhen family in Zhongshan for many years, no one in his home has been stolen repeatedly. He specially asked the county magistrate to strictly regulate the thief, seize the thief and punish the stolen goods.

"Yuantu, what do you think about this?"

"Sir, I don't understand. You can just read whatever you like."

"In my opinion, you might as well help him get the money first?"

Fengji:

Seventeen cases were tried in a row in one morning, each of which was done in one go without any delay. All the people who fought against the wronged shouted that the county was respected by the saints, Yuan Shang was kind and kind, wise and martial, and fair and selfless. The image of the situation rose and rose for a while, which was even better than that of Liu Xuande when he was appointed as the prime minister of Pingyuan.

If this continues, I am afraid that within a month, the name of the saint's county magistrate will spread throughout Zhongshan from Wuji County.

"Get out!"

When the last avenger took the money and left happily, Yuan Shang waved his sleeves and slapped Jingmutang to end the trial.

Feng Ji knelt beside him, looking at Yuan Shang with a resentful look on his face, as if he was a little aggrieved, pitiful and very sympathetic.

"Sir, Ji Yu and the county master tonight have a meal together and drink one. I hope he will accept it."

Yuan Shang was very surprised and couldn't help but look at Feng Ji.

"Why should I eat and slaughter with me?"

Feng Ji's face was lonely and sighed sadly: "Feng Ji's face is not thick, but he is too shy in his pocket. He has to do it. The more wise and wise the adults are in the case, the cleaner the Ji's sleeve is."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Yuan Shang suddenly coughed and said embarrassedly: "There are many things in our county, but there are really few people who can handle these miscellaneous things. Moreover, the Ku Mansion is not sufficient. If you want to avoid the people's hearts, you can only use this move to temporarily relieve the urgent needs and make each county magistrate spend money. The county feels deeply guilty."

Fen Ji was in a mess and in a bad mood, and he was speechless for a while.

"Don't worry, letting you cut your flesh is only a temporary momentum, and you will never be denied for a long time. This county does what it says."

Feng Ji turned his head mechanically and looked at Yuan Shang dumbly: "When will the county lord pay back the money?"

"Didn't you hear that the ten people who came to seek justice just now, nine of them had some connection with the Zhen family. This Zhen family is a giant household in Zhongshan. Now the mansion is set up in Wuji. As the head of a county, you should go and have a visit."

Feng Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He patted Feng Ji's shoulder comfortably, and Yuan Shang persuaded him: "Don't worry, the Zhen family will help us pay in the future."

Juancheng, General's Mansion.

Yuan Shao was wearing a bright golden armor, holding a sword in his hand, with a solemn face, and was arrogant without anger. He stared coldly at Yuan Tan, who stood respectfully and expressionlessly in front of him.

The two looked at each other silently for a long time, and Yuan Shao suddenly sighed and slapped the table and said, "Xian Si, you are so disappointed by your father!"

Yuan Tan's eyes twitched without any trace, and looked up fearlessly at the frost-faced Yuan Shao.

"What does my father mean? My son is not very familiar."

A hint of undepressed anger flashed on Yuan Shao's Yingwu's face and said, "Pretend!

You are so good at pretending! I ask you, do you know whether you know about the assassination of your brother Xianfu by Kong Shun, the Marquis of Qingzhou?”
