Chapter 2103: Drumming
There are hundreds of "society" in Shendu City, all kinds of "society". As long as you can attract a few fellow friends, you can set up a "society". Such behavior is called association.
Those who perform zaju form the "Fei Lu Club", those who sing the ball, those who sing songs, those who like to be like "King Club", those who like to shoot crossbows can form the "Jinbiao Club", those who like to be tattooed and embroidered with shadows, those who make sticks can form the "Yinhunting Club", those who make sticks can form the "Yinhunting Club", those who perform shadow puppets can also form the "Jingfa Club", those who shave their heads can also form the "Jingfa Club", those who make magic tricks can love the shadow release club", those who write poetry can organize the "Poetry Club", and even prostitutes can also set up a "Cui Jin Club"... There are all kinds of associations, and you can't find them, only you can't imagine.
These clubs are the unlucky existences, and most of them are suitable, but they are most likely to produce powerful and tough characters in these clubs, including City Foxes, Clubs, Rats, and Little Man Flowers, who gather together and form associations.
Of course, in this era, rules are first-class and important. Even if you don’t eat this bowl of rice, you cannot break the rules. Otherwise, this world will not tolerate you. You will have no way to live in the capital of Shen, except for traveling far away.
This is the law of survival in the underground world. Almost all evil forces abide by it, so whether it is a group or an association, the black and white strength division between the two is very clear.
Both parties do not disturb each other, and the only intersection is "formal" business handling. As long as you have the ability and means to help merchants settle troubles, ordinary civil disputes and sneaks will not find you.
Because of sneaking, you can also form associations. As long as you pay the protection fee, the things you throw in your store, whether they are lost by the customer or the owner, Guan Bao can find them for you. Of course, this case is also a lot of money.
Bao Zheng's attacks were almost indistinguishable from good or bad. As long as all the gangs on the streets were wiped out, honest and honest group tours and associations would not appear on the streets of Shendu City during turmoil.
Therefore, there are no innocent people executed in Zhao Zhen's eyes, but in fact, this is not the case. When Zhao Zhen's emperor arrived at Shendu City, the sound of deafening drums spread throughout the city.
Because the scale of Shendu City was unprecedented, in order to ensure that the public grievances were effectively appealed, Zhao Zhen turned the Dengwen Drum into a linkage mechanism, and set up 12 Dengwen Drum Courtyards in Shendu City. Whenever a place was ringed, the nearby areas would be ringed until the emperor left the palace to investigate the case.
This is the most effective petition mechanism. Once the drum is ringed, no one can hide the grievances. The entire Shendu City will be informed of the drum sounds, and there will be grievances.
Of course, there is no major injustice that will be punished if the drum is ringing. No one will risk the crime of being exiled or even beheaded to deceive the emperor.
However, when the drum was ringing this time, Zhao Zhen was a little surprised. Someone turned the spearhead pointed at Ouyang Xiu and pointed it at Bao Zheng.
After experiencing the baptism of blood and fire in Shendu City, people are no longer interested in the ashes that Ouyang Xiu did. No matter whether it is true or false, it has nothing to do with everyone.
After all, it is a matter of no evidence. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to convict without fault?
Moreover, if the official family is not in the capital of Shendu, these things cannot be caused. After all, there is no suitable judge, and everyone is focusing on the turmoil in the capital of Shendu.
It is easy for Chinese people to remember and forget. When the turmoil in Shendu subsided, everyone forgot the "private affairs" of Ouyang Xiu's family. Even if they were really taken away, Ouyang Xiu's position in the hearts of the official family would not be punished.
When private morality is infringed, the court will not respond too much, but the parties involved will ask themselves to go out to travel to remote prefectures.
Therefore, both the people and officials focused their attention on the turmoil in Shendu City this time. All this in front of them could not be a matter between the gangs in Shendu City.
Who are they? Can they have such power to stir the entire God City? The answer is obviously impossible. No matter how powerful these gangs are, they cannot turn into a violent incident that will end up in the whole city.
There must be someone behind the scenes who are making trouble. Everyone is asking the court. The exact question is that they are asking the garrison where Bao Zheng is located. The mastermind behind the scenes caught Wu Ying.
This is Bao Zheng’s most difficult question. After all, so many people died, but in the end they could not explain it to the people, which made Bao Zheng, who was as upright as orchid, suffer a lot.
Newspapers in the Great Song Dynasty's Shendu City often publish details about this turmoil, how many innocent people died, where they did what, etc., and also told the people where they should go to seek justice.
Until now, the family of Yuhou, who died in battle, was still kneeling at the door of the garrison office in mourning clothes. At the same time, some innocent families of people who died tragically kept coming to seek justice. Tie Linwei, who had always been ruthless in law enforcement, could not force them to drive them away. How could they drive them away?
The people often come to support the families of the victims, send them hot soup and rice for food and drink, and ask Bao Yanluo to give an explanation to the people of Shendu City.
This is the hearts of the people, this is the sentiment of the people. You cannot ignore it or tell them the details. Bao Zheng was extremely helpless.
All of this ultimately led to a problem. The Dengwen drum was beaten. The families of the victims and the millions of people in the Shendu City were beaten. They could not bear it anymore...
The loud drums never stopped and echoed in the capital of Shendu, because the emperor did not come out to hear the case, and the prince did not come out to exercise this right for the emperor.
Dengwen Drum Court has a rule that death is determined. Once Dengwen Drum is beaten, the drum sound shall not stop unless the emperor comes out to hear the case. In order to urge the emperor and also to remind the people.
The loud drum sounds echoed constantly, like the urging drum beats. I don’t know how many people who beat the drums in the drum have changed, but I still haven’t received the order from the court.
Zhao Zhen was a little surprised. What was Zhao Xu doing after so long? If he didn't show up, wouldn't he dare to take on the unjust case?
When Zou Tonghuo burned his butt and reported that the prince was seriously ill, Zhao Zhen finally knew why.
From Zou Tong, Zhao Zhen learned about Zhao Xu's hard work during this period. This child was too strong and handled political affairs day and night. The high-intensity overload work directly led to his physical exhaustion. At the same time, Fan Zhongyan was also exhausted...
As the most important and closest auxiliary minister of the crown prince, Zhao Xu would ask Fan Zhongyan for advice if he had any questions he had unclear. For the sake of convenience, Fan Zhongyan, the upright prime minister, directly dominated the center.
