Chapter 59: Dengwen Drum

Li Yi and Xiang Qingping sat in the back row together, and in order to avoid suspicion, both of them were far away.

Xiang Qingping was even closer to the car window, pretending to enjoy the metropolis scenery of the capital.

Therefore, she was the first to see this scene at the door of the State Bureau of Letters and Visits.

The director of the Jiangzhou Beijing Office, named Liang Wusheng, is a shrewd and capable man in his thirties.

At this moment, he is leading several comrades from the Beijing Office, pulling a woman and a girl.

The woman, who was about 40 years old, looked excited, cried very sadly, danced with her hands, blocked the obstruction of the comrades of the Beijing Office, and wanted to rush into the State Bureau of Letters and Visits.

Li Yi lowered his gaze, glanced over there, and said, "It's Comrade Liang Wusheng from the Beijing Office." The petitioner must have come from Jiangzhou. ”

The same drama plays out every day in this place.

The complaint has existed since ancient times.

When people's grievances reach a great level and the local government is unable to give them justice and justice, they will naturally think of filing a lawsuit.

The royal writ is not so easy to sue, and the more senior the leader, the deeper the courtyard where he lives. The central leadership is in a state of flux, and its whereabouts are uncertain, making it even more difficult to see.

Fortunately, there is a national bureau of letters and visits, which is equivalent to the ancient "Dengwen drum".

Dengwen Drum is a large drum hanging outside the court.

The Dengwen drum in Laos is one of the important ways to express directly in ancient China.

Dengwen drum is guarded by special officials, and those who play the drum must be accepted or reported immediately.

According to historical records, there was a Dengwen drum in the Zhou Dynasty, which was called "road drum" at that time. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, all dynasties were equipped with Dengwen drums.

Before the Song Dynasty, ordinary people could beat drums and tunes to redress grievances, or make suggestions to the imperial court, or raise objections to policies, and so on.

After the Song Dynasty, the conditions for beating the drum became more and more harsh, until the Qing Dynasty was in vain, and it was stipulated that those who beat the drum would have 30 staff in the court. In order to prevent malicious petitions from the people for no reason.

Since the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, the law has become more and more complete, and the Dengwen drum represents only a symbol.

The virtuous monarchs and saints of all dynasties and dynasties are very concerned about the accessibility of the people.

During the reign of Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was such a record: "Jingmin Mu Hui beat the drum." sued the house slave for losing the mother dolphin, and the edict gave a thousand dollars to compensate for its value. ”

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also set up a Dengwen drum, and set up a special person to manage, once there is a grievance, the emperor personally accepts, if the officials obstruct it, they will be sentenced heavily.

Civil as the sky. During the reign of a wise monarch, Dengwen Drum did have the role of conveying the feelings of the people and supervising the bureaucracy.

The modern Letters and Visits Bureau plays such a role.

The existence of petitions has made it possible for people to sue officials.

In addition to the protection of officials in the local government, the people have one more place to seek justice.

However, what corrupt officials are most afraid of is this petition.

Therefore, some corrupt officials with weak hearts will do everything possible to obstruct petitioners, causing many tragic dramas in the world.

Li Yi often passes by this street. I've seen this kind of thing more than once. The same thing happens at all stations and airports. Some of the petitioners had just set foot on the land of the capital and were taken back. I didn't even know where the doors of the Letters and Visits Bureau were going.

He Zhengyu said a little unhappily: "This Liang Wusheng really doesn't know how to do things and pull and pull in front of the Letters and Visits Bureau, what kind of system is this, it seriously affects the image and prestige of our Jiangzhou."

Xiang Qingping said: "You don't have to worry about this-the crown is full of Jinghua, who knows him from our Jiangzhou Office in Beijing."

Qian Duo deliberately slowed down the speed of the car and waited for Li Yi's instructions.

It's not that Li Yi doesn't want to care about these things, but there are too many of them, so many that they can numb people's nerves. He is not an official of the Letters and Visits Bureau, so it is difficult for him to reach out and take care of it. Even if he wants to manage it, he can't manage his own job. It's a big mess, enough for him to be nerve-wracking.

But today, this matter involves Jiangzhou, and Li Yi can't sit idly by.

"There's a lot of money, park," Li Yi said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Qian Duo answered. He expected that Li Yi was going to take care of this matter, so he had already aimed at a parking position and drove the car over to stop.

Li Yi sat still and didn't move. He said, "Go and bring someone here."

What he said was to the front, and to do this kind of thing, of course, a man has to come forward.

He Zhengyu said: "I'll go." Push the door and get out of the car.

Qian Duodao: "I'll help" followed He Zhengyu away.

Only Xiang Qingping and Li Yi were left in the car.

Xiang Qingping turned her head to look at the gate of the National Bureau of Letters and Calls not far away, but her heart was like a deer colliding.

After a few "accidents" between her and Li Yi, they never made love again, which made the relationship between the two people very awkward.

Although Xiang Qingping tried her best to pretend that nothing happened, when the two of them were alone, it was difficult to maintain this kind of reserve.

At this point, Xue Xue saw it more thoroughly than Xiang Qingping. Therefore, Xue Xue could tolerate Li Yi's ambiguity and affection, but she always refused to cross the defense line of Zuihou.

It's not that Xue Xue doesn't love Li Yi, she, like Xiang Qingping, likes Li Yi very much, and loves him desperately.

Xue Xue thought that if she kept the bottom line, she would also keep the friendship and respect between the two.

No matter what the situation, she can easily face Li Yi and his family and friends.

A big warm hand shook Xiang Qingping's jade hand.

Xiang Qingping's delicate body trembled, and said, "Mayor He and Master Qian have already arrived over there and are talking to Liang Wusheng."

A magnetic male voice came from his ear: "You, how are you doing?"

Xiang Qingping couldn't ignore Li Yi now, turned around slowly, and saw that he was staring at herself, so she lowered her head slightly, made her sideburns, and said, "Okay."

Li Yi said: "You are so young, you are in the prime of a woman's life, why don't you find a man to live?"

Xiang Qingping smiled reluctantly: "I'm still young?" It's long past the beauty of the haode years. I no longer have any illusions about Aiqing and marriage. I'm old and yellow, what man will still take a fancy to me?" , boldly raised his head and looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi didn't know what to do for a while, he knew what she was expecting, but he didn't say these words now. Because once it comes out, it's a lifetime thing.

This trip to the Yugoslav Federation made Li Yi feel that he owed Guo Xiaoling too much love debt. The more he understood Guo Xiaoling's love for him, the more he felt that he was not a thing.

What a haode woman, she has followed Li Yi for a few years without regrets, but she can only live up to her affectionate love.

In addition to Guo Xiaoling, there is also a Hua Xiaorui

"Secretary Li, I have thought about it, I will not marry again in this life." Xiang Qingping said quietly: "A woman can live well in this life on her own."

Li Yi snorted and said, "I believe that you can live well, but it will also be very hard."

Xiang Qingping suddenly said mischievously: "Then you take me up, my request is very simple, when I feel very bitter, just come and comfort me."

Li Yi's heart was shocked, but she didn't expect that she, who has always been reserved, would be able to say such a "big rebellion".

Just as he didn't know how to answer, out of the corner of Li Yi's eyes, he saw that the mother and daughter outside were fighting with He Zhengyu and others.

"What's going on?" Li Yijun's eyebrows frowned, and his face sank.

Xiang Qingping said: "Secretary Li, I'll go down and take a look."

Li Yi said: "Let's go together." Looks like it's going to be a tough fix."

Xiang Qingping said: "If it weren't for something particularly difficult to understand, it wouldn't force people to this role." Who doesn't want to live happily at home?"

Li Yi and Xiang Qingping hurried over, only to see Liang Wusheng entangled with the woman.

The woman wanted to hit He Zhengyu, but Liang Wusheng tried his best to stop him, and between pushing and shoving, it was inevitable that there would be some fists and feet.

The girl who was with the woman, only sixteen or seventeen years old, saw her mother being beaten by Liang Wusheng, cried and stepped forward to help, and her pink fist hit Liang Wusheng's body all at once.

Qian Duo stood next to him and did not move. The other party is just two women who have no war power, and Qian Duo doesn't want to interfere.

The other two comrades from the Jiangzhou Beijing Office only loudly persuaded them.

He Zhengyu was angry and said, "Don't make any more trouble, and if you continue to make trouble, you won't be able to solve your problems." If you come around in the capital again, we will arrest you back, this is the crime of disturbing social order, and you will be imprisoned."

The woman hissed and shouted: "I'm just going to sue me, you must sue no one and don't try to stop me surnamed He, even if you are the mayor, you can't be so domineering"

He Zhengyu pointed to the two comrades from the Beijing Office and said, "What are you doing standing stupidly, go and pull them away, arrest them back to Jiangzhou and go to the capital here, where is their turn to spread wild."

The two comrades did not dare to disobey Vice Mayor He's order, so they responded and stepped forward together, trying to drag the mother and daughter away.

At this time, Li Yi and Xiang Qingping rushed over.

Li Yi shouted in a deep voice: "Stop, stop it."

This loud shout calmed down a few people who were pulling and pulling, and they couldn't help but stop and look over.

Li Yi pointed at Liang Wusheng with his finger, and asked with a tiger face, "What's going on?"

Liang Wusheng said: "Secretary Li, they want to sue."

Li Yi said: "If they want to sue, they have to sue, and you want to stop them?"

Liang Wusheng said: "They have come to sue several times, and the State Bureau of Letters and Calls has approved it, and the case will be handled by Jiangzhou City itself, and they don't care." But they insisted on suering. We're not afraid that they will disturb the security of the capital, so we want to ask them to go back. ”

Li Yi actually knows what the reason is, and an important responsibility of the Beijing Office is to be responsible for repatriating local petitioners to Beijing.

"Is it because of the Weishenme matter?" Li Yi asked: "Since Jiangzhou City has been instructed to deal with it, Weishenme still has to petition?" Is it illegal to deal with it in Jiangzhou City?"

The woman said loudly: "Yes, it is not legal, you officials, you are all officials and officials, I just want to find the big officials in the capital to take care of it, and ask them to judge, otherwise, I will sue until death, and I will sue too."
