    There was no words for the whole night, and early the next morning, the dull sound of drumming at the Kunshan County Government Office broke the usual tranquility.

    "What's that sound?" The government officials in Zaoban were having breakfast. Thanks to the great master, the food in the county government was very good, and everyone had gained a lot of weight.

    "It seems to be a Dengwen drum" someone said uncertainly. After all, no one has ever played that thing, and everyone is not sure what the sound is when it is played.

    "What do you mean, it seems, it is!" Bantou Wang still had experience. He threw down his job, grabbed his corrugated hat, and said straightly: "Quickly, get ready to be promoted to court!"

    "Hey, okay" The servant quickly grabbed the meat-filled steamed buns, stuffed two into his mouth, and rushed out of the cafeteria as if he was happy.

    In the back office, Mr. Zhao had just gotten up. He sat down in his seat with dark circles under his eyes and yawned again and again, when he heard the sound of drums.

    "Hey, you're singing opera so early? Do you still have some sense of public morality?" Zhao Shouzheng took the scallop and cuttlefish porridge from the maid, which was very filling.

    "Father, are you sure you didn't go to hear the drum?" Mr. Zhao had something on his mind, so naturally he didn't sleep in. He got up early and sat in the flower hall reading the newspaper. When he heard the sound of the drum, he knew that it was Zheng Ruozeng who had come to complain as promised.

    "What? Really?!" Mr. Zhao immediately became energetic and said excitedly: "Who is that? Go ahead and see if this is what happened!"

    "Uh, father, that guy stopped being your book boy last year and has been with me a long time ago." Mr. Zhao coughed lightly.

    "Oh, really? Haha, no wonder I always feel like something is missing, but I can't remember it." Mr. Zhao said awkwardly: "It turns out that boy is missing. Really, he won't follow me when he leaves."  say hi."

    "You should have said hello, right?" Mr. Zhao scratched his head and said, "I can't remember clearly."

    "I have no impression at all." Zhao Shouzheng shook his head and said, "Forget it, it doesn't make any difference whether he is there or not."

    He quickly asked the fat Fan Datong to take a look.  After a while, Fan Datong came back out of breath and said: "No, that's right, it's Mr. Kaiyang who beats the drum to express his grievances. Mr. Wu asked the master to go to court as soon as possible."

    "He won't do it for you?" Zhao Shouzheng blinked and looked at Zhao Hao.

    "The ancestral system of the country means that once the drum is beaten, one must rise to the throne immediately." Zhao Hao couldn't help but secretly reflect on whether he and Mr. Wu were too lenient.  Why is dad so careful about everything he does?

    "Aha, that's great." Zhao Shouzheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "I have been the county magistrate for two years, and I haven't found a case yet. Now it's my turn to show my face!"

    "Quickly, please get me dressed up, sir." As he said this, he stopped eating and asked the maids to get a brand new set of official robes for him to put on.

    The first time in life always has a sense of ritual.

    Zhao Shou was sitting in front of the floor-length mirror. Two maids knelt down to help him put on his boots. A maid recombed his hair so that he could put on a new, slightly tight black gauze hat.

    "I don't know if it's because my head is too big or because this hat is too small." Mr. Zhao complained casually.

    "It must be that the hat is too small." Zhao Hao said with a smile.

    "What a blessing." The father and son looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

    "Old Zheng is really out of touch. He can't say anything in person. It has to be so grand." Zhao Shouzheng said again.

    Not only did Zhao Hao avoid showing up in court to avoid suspicion, but in order to avoid the traces of the performance being too heavy, he did not even communicate with his father in advance.

    ¡°But this is by no means an impromptu performance without rehearsal. Zhao Hao had already reconciled with Wu Chengen yesterday afternoon. Master Wu has no idea how to handle this case.  He even visited Chu Liuxiang in the class room and told him what he should and should not say today.

    As for Mr. Zhao, why do you know so much?  Just be responsible and handsome and that's ithe's not a marionette, so be serious.

    "Mr. Kaiyang has always been prudent in his actions, so he has his reasons." Zhao Hao said.

    "Well, that's true." Zhao Shouzheng was convinced. He stood up enthusiastically, pointed his halberd in front of him, and said in vain: "I have been ordered by the Holy Spirit to leave the imperial capital to inspect the bullies and unruly people. Regardless of relatives of the emperor or the country, Wang Fa  There is no mercy!"

    As he said that, he was about to walk out.

    "Master, you haven't put on your belt yet." The maid quickly reminded him.

    "Uh" Mr. Zhao could only stand awkwardly and asked nervously, "Son, your father won't tease you, right?"

    After all, it is the first time in life, so it is inevitable to feel anxious.

    "Father, come on." Zhao Hao smiled and raised his arms to cheer him up: "You are already a mature county magistrate, you will definitely do it."

    At leastXiang Xiang was brought there, and the brocade robe he was wearing was dirty and torn. Fortunately, he had a full beard and tail, and his appearance was not bad.

    He stood in the hall with an unruly beard and a rebellious look on his face. Not to mention, he really looked like a green forest hero.  No wonder the officials didn't dare to let him go

    "How dare you not kneel before the lord of this county?" Fan Datong, who served as the chief attendant, shouted.

    This sound really worked. Chu Liu woke up like a dream, and then he remembered that the "dog official" in the hall was the young master's father. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously.

    "Master Qingtian makes the decision, the villain is wronged!"

    "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. No one will say that they are not unjust." Mr. Zhao said solemnly: "Sit up and answer the question."

    ¡°Hey.¡± Chu Liu responded and quickly straightened up obediently.

    "You said you were unjust, then explain, where did the dowry money of more than two hundred silver come from?" Zhao Shouzheng pointed to the file he just brought and said, "The neighbors say your family is rich and you have made a fortune.  , How did you get this wealth? If you explain it clearly, it will be fine."

    "This" Chu Liuxiang looked confused: "We have discipline and cannot say anything."

    "Look at you, didn't you ask for this?!" Mr. Zhao was so angry that he clapped his hands and said, "Tell the truth!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
