Zigui County is not a big town, and the county magistrate has just briefly described the case clearly, and the bustling county government has already appeared in front of everyone.
The county magistrate Sun Youfu made a confession and quickly went in to change into his official uniform. The county magistrate led everyone through the crowd of onlookers and entered the Yamen to set up chairs to watch.
Xia Jingyun and the other three were sitting behind Bai Yunbian. He picked a gentleman next to him and asked, "May I ask your Excellency, where does the Yueyang Su family come from? Why does it sound so powerful? Even the nobles of Guixian County are a bit like it. fear?"
The man smiled and said, "Your Excellency is from Sishui Prefecture. Who in our Yunmeng Prefecture doesn't know the Yueyang Su family? There are two prime ministers in the three generations of the Su family. Now the Su Xianggong in front of Qin Xianggong is from the Yueyang Su family. You say Su Is Jia Li powerful?"
Xia Jingyun suddenly realized, and the man continued: "After a hundred years of development, the Su family has already become a giant. In the entire Yueyang City, everything big and small has to suppress the Su family. When the Su family was at its peak, who in the entire Yunmeng Prefecture would not sell out the Su family? Bomian. Although the Su family has been fighting for several years after Prime Minister Qin came to power, and the Su family’s power has decreased slightly, it is still the absolute number one wealthy family in Yunmeng State!”
"So, do you think this Luo Su family from the original Su family can make our county magistrate fearful? Haha."
"Hmph!" Bai Yunbian, who was in the front row of the two people, snorted coldly, as if he was not satisfied with what this person said.
The man quickly shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything.
Xia Jingyun secretly cupped his hands and whispered, "Thank you for your advice."
Soon, after Sun Youfu was sitting in the yamen office, he was stunned and said, "Promoted to the court!"
"Mighty~"
"Bring the accuser!"
Soon, a beautiful woman wearing beaded emeralds was brought in. She was not tall, but she was fair and plump. She had a mature figure. Coupled with her nice dress, she did have a ladylike demeanor. .
"Who are you in the hall and what are you telling me?"
Sun Youfu changed his usual majesty when facing the common people. While making routine remarks, he looked at the beautiful women in the hall with a kind smile on his face.
"Your Excellency, the Luo Su family of the Luo family, a commoner woman, is suing the Luo Qi family, the daughter-in-law of the family, for not cultivating virtues, being dissolute, hooking up with outsiders and committing adultery, thus ruining the family tradition of our Luo family!"
As expected, it was such a thing that everyone, whether they were watching inside the Yamen or watching the fun outside, became interested.
"Here comes someone! Bring the Luo family's daughter-in-law, Luo Qi!"
Soon, a delicate woman was brought up.
She has a delicate appearance and a pleasant figure. Although she is not as plump and round as Luo Su, she is still as delicate as a spring flower that has just bloomed.
"She's a seductress! If you say she stole someone, I believe you!"
"If I could steal such a beauty, I would do it too!"
"Damn it, you married into the Luo family, why are you stealing from someone! Really!"
"You don't understand this. Money touches people's hearts, but it can't touch people's lives!"
The idle men at the gate began to comment on the Luo Qi family in twos and threes, and the sound was so loud that Xia Jingyun could vaguely hear it, not to mention the young lady in the hall, who immediately blushed and trembled all over.
Sun Youfu straightened his face, slapped the door on the wall, and shouted sternly: "Ms. Luo Qi, now your parents-in-law are suing you for being dissolute, having liaisons with outsiders, and insulting the family tradition. Do you think you are guilty!"
Xia Jingyun pursed his lips silently. It was too obvious to stand in line!
But seeing that no one seemed to think anything was wrong, he gained a better understanding of Daxia's current officialdom.
The little lady in the hall was shaken by the slaps and shouts.
Just when everyone thought she was about to confess her guilt, she suddenly gritted her teeth, knelt down on her knees, and said loudly: "Sir, the common woman is wronged! The common woman wants to accuse my mother-in-law of having an affair with the owner of the Chinese medicine shop in the city. , the two of them had many private meetings, and even bullied my father-in-law who was seriously ill in bed and showed off their prostitution in the daytime! It’s really abominable!”
After hearing this, even Xia Jingyun perked up and looked at the field, this was interesting!
"Insolent! How can such people be allowed to talk nonsense in the court? Sir, please slap their lips as a warning to others!"
Sun Youfu hesitated for a moment, "Here comes someone! This woman is grabbing and biting randomly, disturbing the court, and slaps her twenty times!"
Two yamen servants immediately stepped forward, one on the left and the other on the right, to support the little lady. Another yamen servant stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves.
What else could such a delicate-skinned little girl say after being slapped twenty times by a strong man? Sun Youfu clearly didn't want to give her a chance to speak!
There was a burst of noise outside.
Seeing this, Xie Yanzhi felt a little unbearable, and turned to look at Xia Jingyun. She didn't dare to cause trouble for Xia Jingyun because of her random kindness, so she could only look at the young lady in the hall with slightly red eyes.
Regardless of the truth behind it, at this moment in court, she was indeed the most weak and helpless victim.
Poor people like Yan Zhi often despise others' suffering.
Because they know better how painful the so-called suffering is.
Xia Jingyun naturally saw Yan Zhi's expression in his eyes, rolled his eyes, and said softly: "Mr. Bai, if you are a wise master, how should you make a decision after seeing this situation?"
Bai Yunbian, who had not planned to take action, stiffened slightly and said, "Wait a minute."
That slap was about to hit Luo Qi's face, but Bai Yunbian stopped her.
"In spring, there must be rain to protect the flowers from blooming; in autumn, when the wind comes, the leaves will fall."
"My young master said that when you are trying a case, you should let people speak. What is this?"
Sun Youfu was startled. He didn't expect that Bai Yunbian would come forward, so he had to shamelessly wave the officer to leave.
Luo Su's expression changed slightly and he didn't say much.
After this incident, many people's attitudes have changed. This is obviously not giving people a chance to speak. Is there another hidden reason behind this matter?
Xia Jingyun was filled with admiration, "Young Master Bai has a high moral integrity and draws his sword to help when there is an uneven road. He is truly a role model for our generation."
Bai Yunbian said calmly: "Don't chase me as a role model, it will make you despair."
Xia Jingyun twitched his lips, Jiang Yuhu is not as good at pretending as you!
The little lady was saved. She first took a deep breath towards Bai Yunbian, then looked at Sun Youfu and said loudly: "Your Excellency, because my father-in-law is seriously ill these days, the cattle shopkeeper often comes in and out of the house. I don't know when, the two of them The hookup turned into adultery. The civilian woman noticed that her mother-in-law was behaving differently these days, so she secretly observed her. Finally, she confirmed the matter a few days ago and secretly recognized that the person she was hooking up with was none other than Shopkeeper Niu."
I saw the young lady Luo Qishi and wiped her tears with pity, "As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. The woman thought about it and decided to remind her mother-in-law quietly. She went to look for her yesterday and reminded her in a subtle way. Unexpectedly, she wanted to prevent things from happening. It was exposed that he was the first to make a false accusation! Please be careful!"
Wow!
The onlookers all shouted excitedly, never expecting such a turn.
It was the evildoer who complained first!
"I think it's like, look at Mrs. Luo, her figure, her waist, her buttocks, so white, it feels like you can get water if you pinch her!"
"You want to die! That's the Su family!"
Suddenly, a circle formed among the crowded onlookers, revealing the man who had just spoken.
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Luo Su sternly shouted, and then looked at Sun Youfu, "Master Sun, this woman is a wolf-hearted woman. Thanks to all the favors I have given her, I have never been harsh on her. I have secretly reminded her once about this matter alone. But she still didn't stop, a commoner woman was in charge of the Luo family, and she had to do this evil thing for the sake of her family's reputation, and I never thought she would bite back!"
"The shopkeeper Niu of the drugstore is indeed an adulterer, but he is her adulterer. She bullied my son's cowardice and often took care of the family business outside. The two of them followed Mr. Niu to my house to treat a common man and his wife, and they managed to do it. Now what happened If it is exposed, the blame will be placed on the civilian women! Your Excellency must be aware of everything and make decisions for the civilian women!"
Both sides held their own opinions, and it was very lively.
Under Bai Yunbian's reminder, Sun Youfu remained impartial, as if his smart IQ had once again taken over the high ground. He rolled his eyes and said, "Here comes the boss of Dai Niu!"
Soon, a middle-aged man was brought into the lobby. He had a fair face and a slightly thin body. Seeing this scene, he immediately saluted in panic.
"Is this the shopkeeper of Huichun Tang Pharmacy, Niu Dachang?"
"If you go back to the county to honor your lord, they are just ordinary people."
"You are so bold and unruly!" Sun Youfu was shocked and yelled: "You took advantage of going to the Luo family to see a doctor for Mr. Luo, and you colluded with the Luo family's wife and committed adultery. You are guilty of immorality!"
Niu Dachang trembled and knelt down on the ground, "My lord, I know it well, my lord knows it, I have never behaved like this before!"
"You are bold and unruly, and you still don't recruit people from the truth. Come on, I will be punished!"
Several government officials came forward and brought down their sticks. The cattle shopkeeper couldn't stand it anymore and howled miserably: "Sir, I'll do it, I'll do it!"
The torture tools were loosened, and Shopkeeper Niu shivered in the aftertaste of the severe pain, "Because Officer Luo was ill, ordinary people often went in and out of Luo's house. They came and went, and they did have some relationships with people that shouldn't have happened, and they made mistakes that men all over the world would make. But the villain is really innocent, she took the initiative to seduce me."
"Asshole!" Sun Youfu scolded: "I'm not saying you are innocent, but who is the person who hooked up with you?"
Niu Dachang said in a trembling voice: "It's the young lady of the Luo family."
The whole place was in an uproar, and Xia Jingyun narrowed his eyes.
Ten thousand words have been updated every day in the past few days. There are so many things on May Day that the saved manuscripts have been completely exhausted. From now on, I have to write now every day. The update time can only be changed to the evening. Tentatively, it will be eight o'clock in the evening. I will try my best to be able to do it. on time.
Thanks for understanding, or2
