Even Liu Bang knew about it. After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, the brave man was acquitted.

From this time on, it was mandatory to set up a drum and a bell at the gates of government offices at all levels.

The Han court also stipulated that when the bells and drums rang, officials must go to court to benefit the people and show their virtue.

It was from this time that the drumming method was passed down.

Of course, etiquette collapsed in the late Han Dynasty, and the system of "beating drums to complain about grievances" existed in name only in many states and counties.

But Cao Cao in the north had the "Dengwen Drum". The Dengwen Drum originated in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang supported the Han Dynasty.

Naturally, all the systems of the Han Dynasty were continued in Jingzhou and Xichuan.

This also includes the "drum".

(ps: It may not also be called Dengwen Drum, let’s call it by this name.)

At this moment, Diao Chan strode forward. With the help of those "good Samaritans", she picked up the drumstick and started banging hard.

The guard was shocked in vain and chased her to fight for the drumstick, yelling: "What are you doing?"

However, a group of "good Samaritans" stopped the guards, and Diao Chan continued to play the drums as if no one was watching. She said, "The daughter of the people does not seek justice, she only asks... I only ask that the Fourth Master Guan be released!"

For a time, the golden sound of the drum was heard all the way into the government office, and it also shook the sky of the entire Jiangling City.

…

In the government office, Liao Li, the governor of Changsha, and Liao Hua, the chief of Guan Yu, both heard the sound of the drum.

Previously, guards had already informed them of everything that happened on the banks of the "Laodao River", next to the "Luohan Village", and at the entrance to Zhangjiazhuang.

——First, Guan Lin broke into Zhangjiazhuang regardless of Zhang Zhongjing's illness, and even fought at the entrance of the village...

It can be said to be full of complaints.

——Secondly, if you break in, you break in, and if you fight, you fight!

However, the Fourth Master Guan was still angry and finally took away Zhang Zhongjing's two disciples and put them in a government prison.

This is no longer a complaint, but a bit of a grievance.

Even in the end, he was so brazen that he said something in public - "When people in the government asked, they said it was me who Guan Linguan!"

Is it possible to say this?

Can you express "officials protecting each other" so openly?

What does this make the people think?

——Is there still a royal law? Is there still a law?

Liao Li's face had been turning blue and purple for a long time. He went from kneeling to standing, and from standing to kneeling again. His whole body was almost suffering from internal injuries.

"What does Gong Yuan (Liao Li) plan to do?" Liao Hua also looked ugly.

Liao Li sighed deeply. He closed his eyes while listening to the sound of the drum, and said meaningfully: "I checked the county government of Changsha County. For fifteen years, no one in Changsha County has ever played such a sonorous song.

You can hear the sound of drums!"

Just then...

A literary official reported, "To the eunuch, the West Prison has been taken over by the Fourth Young Master Guan! All the criminals among them have been transferred to other prisons. The West Prison of Nuo Da currently only holds Du Du and Wei Xuer, who were newly captured by the Fourth Young Master.

people!"

"Now, a group of Fourth Young Masters are guarding the prison and no one is allowed to approach!"

This...Liao Li was shocked.

——"What an unscrupulous person..."

It is no exaggeration to say that if Liao Hua hadn't been here to hold him down, he would have killed him long ago.

Suddenly stood up...

Liao Li stood up again and cursed at the clerk: "He said take over? You just let him take over? Although he is the son of Guan Gong, his official position is not that of the thief Cao in Jiangling City.

How can you come to control my prison in Changsha County?"

Liao Li was about to explode. He no longer cared about Liao Hua's side and was about to leave immediately.

The case had to be suppressed.

He... endured it.

Den Wen Gu asked him to ignore it... but he endured it.

But now, Guan Lin has become so unscrupulous that he treats the official offices in Changsha City as his own backyard?

The criminals in the Xi Prison were transferred when he asked them to be transferred;

Nanuo Daxi Prison, if he says it will be taken over, he will take it over!

This is no longer a matter of law and royal law. This is completely not treating Liao Li as a prefect!

"Lead the way...take me there!"

Liao Li gave an order and looked tense.

Who would have thought that the civil servant did not lead the way, but simply said: "Master, please think about it carefully, the three...three generals are here too!"

Well…

As soon as these words came out, Liao Li became speechless and quickly took back the steps he had taken.

——"Zhang Fei is here too?"

Liao Li suddenly realized that things were not simple.

Guan Gong sent Liao Hua, which already explained the problem. Now...it's Zhang Fei again.

——This is Zhang Fei... Mr. Zhang!

Liao Li knelt down again, and again, and again.

Liao Li discovered that since this matter had already involved the "three generals", it was no longer something that he, a little "prefect", could handle.

"well…"

"well…"

Liao Liping walked away from the clerk, put his hands on the desk, and listened to the "shaking" drums outside the yamen office, and could only shake his head and sigh.

"Yuan Jian (Liao Hua), Yuan Jian, what you have brought to me is an unruly young master!"

"This is clearly...clearly a lawless demon king!"

"In the past... I heard someone mention that Guan Gong gave this son the title of 'rebellious son'. I still didn't believe it... Today, my eyes have been opened. I, Liao Li, have really opened my eyes."

Bitter... Liao Li's expression was extremely bitter.

Liao Hua’s face actually doesn’t look good either…

He originally thought he was here to escort Fourth Young Master Zhou Quan.

But...now, the situation has changed.

The Liao family is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and Liao Hua is a member of a famous family. His father, Liao Jiugong, is a celebrity respected by everyone in Jingzhou and is known for his "nobility".

Now, let alone Liao Li, even Liao Hua was angry.

The education he received since childhood would never allow him to... wantonly condone such things.

"——Dong dong dong!"

The drums were heard outside for a long time without realizing it.

Liao Hua's mood became increasingly heavy...

"——This matter cannot develop like this!" Liao Hua sighed.

"How?" Liao Li asked.

Liao Hua showed his "forward-looking" side. He immediately explained, "This matter concerns the Fourth Young Master. It can be big or small. If we turn a deaf ear and ignore it, the reputation of 'officials protecting each other' will still be second to none."

If someone adds fuel to the flames... then Guan Gong's prestige may fall to the bottom overnight."

this…

As if, after Liao Hua's reminder, Liao Li also realized the seriousness of the problem, and he asked: "Actually, this matter can be easily solved, as long as Guan Gong severely punishes the fourth son of Guan, and gives an explanation to Zhang Zhongjing and the people of Jingzhou...

In this way, even if there are villains who 'add fuel to the flames', it will not damage Guan Gong's reputation in the slightest."

"Haha..." Hearing this, Liao Hua laughed directly, a bitter smile. "If Guan Gong punishes the Fourth Young Master, why is it today, why is it now, how can it be so 'unscrupulous'?"

ah…

Liao Hua did not explain his words clearly, but the meaning was very clear.

Got it...

Liao Li understood immediately. He did not dare to say that the Fourth Young Master Guan was arrogant because of his favor.
To be continued...
