Liu Bei three visits to the cottage, before seeing Zhuge; Guan Yu through the five passes and six generals, before meeting the Imperial Uncle; Zhu Pingan also experienced the simmering eagle, after killing the chicken to warn monkeys, before being able to see the Ministry of Justice Secretary He Ao.
Just poor Qu magistrate, was beaten half life.
Of course, even if there is no Zhu Pingan, Qu Zhixian can not escape the pain of today’s torture cane. There is no way, this is life. If you don’t have a strong power, you can only be pressed on the chopping board.
Zhu Pingan watched the magistrates leave with the bloodied Qu Zhixian, and then he saw He Ao, the Minister of Justice, who came surrounded by several officials.
The Minister of Justice was an old man over half a hundred years old, his hair was already grey, but he had a bit of the style of a man who was still able to eat when he was old, with a big waist, a very strong body, and a height at least half a head taller than his own. His skin colour is not like a man of letters, but like a man of arms, his skin is a bit like his father’s bronze. So strong and powerful, no wonder it can withstand two dynasties of the emperor’s cane, this body looked at the resistance to fight, in exchange for other weak officials, can be down a cane is life, two cane down ten officials have to hang eight. Especially the Jiajing ceremonial dispute that the canes are real, one hundred and twenty-four officials, on the spot was killed sixteen, dying twenty-seven, back after a few days of not quite there are seven or eight.
He Shangshu walks with eight steps, walking in the front, followed by two officials and several Xu, He Shangshu’s footsteps are not fast, but very imposing, it seems to be a long time in a high position, very much the style of leadership.
He Shangshu just swept a glance at Zhu Pingan, but it was this glance that put people under pressure, Zhu Pingan felt like he was being watched by a tiger in a mountain forest, but fortunately the tiger was napping, perhaps it was full or perhaps it was picking its food, and didn’t pay too much attention to itself, and just swept a glance at itself.
However, what can a fierce tiger do, how many tigers have become cushions on people’s seats, even tiger whips have been made into wine and drunk.
What’s more, this fierce tiger has been reduced to Yan Song’s dog at this time. Unfortunately, two generations of emperors in front of the court cane he survived, but kneeling in Yan Song this, late in life ah.
“My humble servant, Zhu Pingan, has met Lord He and all the adults.”
Zhu Pingan raised his head and looked at the Ministry of Justice and his party who were getting closer and closer, stood firmly, piling up a respectful look on his face, and from afar, he bowed his hands and performed a great salute, with his two arms stretched straight forward, his right hand slightly curved inwards, his left hand attached to it, and his two hands moved from the top downwards from the height of his forehead to the height of his chest, and at the same time, he bent down at 45 degrees to perform a great salute.
In this manner, the hands are clasped and the salute is performed twice.
After that, Zhu Pingan kept the posture of bending the waist and remained still.
Not for the five buckets of rice bowed down is said to have the backbone does not tend to influence, in ancient times to see the high-ranking people, bowing hand salute is too normal. Even if the “Penjieshan” Hai Rui, not also have to bow to the official salute, just his side of the officials are on the official kneeling down to highlight his standing only.
Of course, Hai Rui absolutely no bend so bent, or the standard twice, oh, if Hai Rui here to see this scene, will certainly laugh at their own ……Zhu Pingan bent over and hooked his lips.
One second.
Two seconds.
Zhu Pingan bent over and silently counted, saluting and greeting after two seconds had passed, and had yet to hear any response from He Ao, the Minister of Justice.
In the third second, Zhu Pingan heard a light as if unheard of “hmm” sound, there is no extra sound, the voice track does not have a hint of ups and downs, about He Ao Shangshu did not even nod his head, right.
That said, such a strong man, so small voice ……You constipated ah.
Zhu Pingan bent down and pulled the corners of his mouth without trace, and then said loudly back “thank you adults”, and then got up, the face is already respectful look, more than the side of the Langzhong Zhai Juntao are to be respectful.
In the Ming officials meet each other, if the official position is the same level, then each other clasp hands or arch hands twice can; if one party than the other side of the official position is low, then it is necessary to move to the right side of the hand clasp hands twice, the official position of the nodding to answer the salute. At the same time there was also an unwritten rule that when an official with a low official position bows his hand, he has to make a big salute, that is, like Zhu Pingan.
As for the Ministry of Criminal Affairs Secretary He Ao Well, who let people with high official positions ah, love how to return the salute on how to return the salute.
“Sir, please take your seat.”Zhai Juntao, the langzhong of the Clearance Division, smiled as he welcomed He Ao, the Minister of Justice, to the seat in the middle of the room.
“Lord Wang, Lord Liu, please.”Langzhong Zhai Juntao arched his hand and smiled as he greeted the other two colleagues.
“Lord Zhai is polite, please.”Lord Wang and Lord Liu arched their hands in return and sat down with mutual courtesy.
Not just intentionally or unintentionally, everyone greeted each other and sat down, leaving Zhu Pingan alone in the room, unattended and uncared for, standing in place, like a monkey in a zoo surrounded by people.
“Huh, Ping An why are you still standing, sit down.”
After standing for several seconds, Zhai Juntao only seemed to have just realised that Zhu Pingan was still standing, eeked out and greeted Zhu Pingan as he sat down.
“Many thanks, my lord.”Zhu Pingan did not excuse himself, and after arching his hand in thanks, he took a seat at the bottom seat.
“You are Zhu Pingan?”That Lord Wang sitting at the bottom of He Shangshu’s head shifted his eyes to Zhu Pingan and raised his chin to ask formulaically.
Nonsense, just now when giving up his seat Zhai Langzhong had called me Ping An, who else am I if not Zhu Ping An. Of course, Zhu Pingan would not say that.
“Yes, my humble servant, Zhu Pingan, has met all the lords.”
Zhu Pingan got up and bowed again, then swept a glance at the several officials at the top, following the Minister of Justice He Ao came with him, besides this Lord Wang there was another Lord Liu, as for the other Xu officials, they could be ignored.
Just now the joint trial of the case of Qu Zhi County is not there Jin Yi Wei, how did not see ah, this more than forty years old Lord Wang is certainly not Jin Yi Wei, wearing the uniform is not the uniform of Jin Yi Wei, the other Lord Liu on the body of the official uniform is not Jin Yi Wei uniforms. Perhaps the Jin Yiwei of the joint trial had other errands and didn’t come over.
“Hmm.”The questioning Lord Wang nodded, then after using his eyes to ask He Ao, the Minister of Justice, who was sitting high on the throne, he again looked at Zhu Pingan and asked, “You don’t need to be nervous, this time we are just getting to know the situation, and the matter of the plea will wait until a date has been set with the Metropolitan Inspectorate and the factory guards, and then notify you and Chien-Tu Zhao to come to the plea.”
Oh
Well, before repeatedly rushed, and now there is no hurry. The position of the Ministry of Justice is thus evident.
It seems that this time, there will be a lot of trouble.
Zhu Pingan is not surprised, before he came, he had already prepared himself mentally, but now it is just a fulfilment of speculation!
