Lu Siliang was sued.
The person who sued him was the head of the real boatmen's guild, and the lawsuit came to Xu Qin. Demanding that Lu Siliang be severely punished and expelled forever.
It turned out that the complaint was filed with the county government in Liujiagang, but the county magistrate directly pushed it to Xu Qin.
After all, this matter had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't afford to offend this powerful murderer. The Japanese pirates had already chopped three thousand into pieces, but he himself did not think he could be more powerful than the Japanese pirates.
Xu Qin played around with Guan Guan and Wanwan all day long, and occasionally taught the two-meter-tall Heitan Tou how to speak Ming dialect.
It's a pity that this guy's hands are faster than his brain. For several days, he could only call his master and eat the rest.
Fortunately, it was bought by Xu Qin. His family's food intake is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
He has a large body and a large appetite, and his wife is over 1.9 meters tall. The son is eleven years old and the daughter is twelve years old. They are both 1.8 meters tall.
A meal for his family would cost from ten kilograms of meat to seventy or eighty steamed buns.
But there was no free rice. After eating a few full meals, Heitan Tou straightened up and became energetic. The muscles all over his body swelled like a monster coming out of a ghost storybook.
Xu Qin gave him a suit of iron armor. He didn't have the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, only a mace.
The main reason is that this thing is cheap and scary, and I follow Xu Qin around with a giant mace on his shoulders every day.
It is guaranteed to have the effect of cleaning up street tigers and being popular.
Xu Qin has nothing to do today and has to go to court to hear the case.
Lu Siliang stood in the hall with his head lowered, and there was another man in his fifties who looked like a wealthy man. He is the real leader of the Boatmen's Guild.
"Are you going to surrender?" Xu Qin asked Lu Siliang as he typed the petition.
Lu Siliang shook his head in shame.
"I'm not a villain." Lu Siliang replied in a low voice.
"Oh, have you ever told people that you know how to be a leader?" Xu Qin asked in a pretentious manner.
I remember that when Lu Siliang knelt in front of him, he claimed to be the leader of the meeting. But now he selectively forgets.
Lu Siliang was not a fool to understand.
"The villain has never said that he is the leader." Lu Siliang said loudly, and then raised his head.
Apparently he received Xu Qin's signal.
"He didn't claim to be the leader of the guild, so why are you suing him?" Xu Qin asked the real guild leader.
"Mr. Xu, although he did not claim to be the leader of the association, he organized the boatmen privately. This is equivalent to pretending to be the leader of the association." Wai Gong, a member in his fifties, said with his hands in hand.
"Then what should we do according to your wishes?" Xu Qin put down his complaint and asked.
"My lord, of course I will be severely punished and expelled forever." Yuan Wai said righteously.
"Oh, is there any relevant law?" Xu Qin asked.
This is nonsense. The Ming Dynasty was a man-made society. Officials could probably build a highway with their broad application of the law.
You can almost do whatever you want. The laws of the Ming Dynasty are the same as the karst landform, with holes like city gates everywhere.
Moreover, Xu Qin’s question was a trap.
"Sir, although there is no relevant law, if everyone does this, it will lead to chaos, and they should be punished severely to set an example! Please judge the punishment impartially, in accordance with the will of heaven above, and the peace of the people below."
The old man bowed his hands towards God.
This is what Xu Qin means. God is watching you.
"Well said, tell me what Tianxin is and what Limin is? Don't tell me about those books. You probably don't know that I hate reading the most. It's best to be honest. I can understand. of……"
Xu Qin stared at the old man with malicious eyes and asked. The voice was very cold.
"Heaven's heart is the people's heart, and the people are their livelihood. It doesn't matter if Lu Siliang pretends to be a member of the society, but sir, don't be deceived by him just because he gave you a house. He shouldn't take money from those poor boatmen."
The old man pointed at Lu Siliang and said angrily, and even directly exposed Xu Qin and Lu Siliang's deeds.
"Oh, there's still this matter? How much did you smoke?" Xu Qin asked Lu Siliang. He is selectively deaf to matters surrounding the house.
Lu Siliang shivered in fright and glanced at the old man.
"My lord, the boatmen earn twenty cents a day, and I take two cents each." Lu Siliang said tremblingly.
"Nearly two thousand people draw 4,000 Wen, four or five guan every day. That's more than 100 guan a month. It looks like a lot, but it's reasonable. After all, he found the job. He has invested an ancestral Zhai, it’s normal to recover some costs.”
Xu Qin said to the well-dressed old man. He has never been immoral. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. People got involved and found jobs for boatmen. What's wrong with charging some agency fees?
And he talked about the matter of taking over the house very confidently.
"Sir, for a poor person, two pennies is a meal. Two more pennies a day can support a family. But what can he do with a small amount of money? Eat, drink, whoring, and gamble, and what's more, it is immoral. "
The old man blew his beard and stared angrily.
Xu Qin understood, but he felt that how people spend their money is their business. What does it have to do with you, an old man?
Even if you don't like it, you can't complain. Wait, it's something immoral.
"What have you done? Have you harmed a decent woman? Lu Siliang, I can tolerate you in anything, but you can't do this kind of thing."
Xu Qin turned back and stared at Lu Siliang.
"Sir, don't listen to his nonsense, what is immoral. Widow Liu's man is dead, and we are in love. Her hateful mother-in-law insists on asking me for a hundred coins. I am so angry that... just... first The rice is cooked..."
Lu Siliang said in a low voice.
"Sir, please listen to what this means. When a woman marries, she obeys her husband. After her husband dies, she naturally has to obey her mother-in-law. She wants to keep her integrity. When she was pestered by him, she didn't say she wouldn't marry. She just asked him for a hundred guan. He He actually did it..."
The old man was so angry that he could no longer speak. He pointed his fan at Lu Siliang and trembled.
"Did you force yourself? If Widow Liu accuses you of rape, I will castrate you..." Xu Qin looked at Lu Siliang and said.
"No, absolutely not. Let's live as soon as possible. The villain's wife has passed away a long time ago. It just depends on her..."
Lu Siliang said confidently.
"Bah, you stinky scoundrel, why do you think Widow Liu will get married like this? For the sake of the whole family, you can find a matchmaker and marry her off someday..."
Xu Qin learned Zhu Di's tricks. The verdict was made directly in court, and Widow Liu was married to Lu Siliang.
He thought that the old defender was going to be furious, but he didn't expect that he didn't mean to be unhappy at all.
"My lord is indeed wise..." the old man praised sincerely.
What's happening here? The painting style is wrong. Shouldn't this nosy old man be so angry that he has a cerebral hemorrhage and convulsions?
Before Xu Qin could react, a woman rushed into the lobby.
"Master Qingtian, make the decision for me..."
Before Xu Qin could ask what was going on, another woman rushed in.
"Master, make the decision for me..."
Then there was a crash, and more than ten women rushed over, all of them wanting to make the decision.
"What's going on?" Xu Qin was confused. When did he become a friend of women?
Upon closer inspection, I found that these women all had dead husbands, and their husbands' families actually forced them to observe the law and not allow them to remarry.
What's this thing, observing the rules at such a young age? Isn't this nonsense? Who should I show it to?
Xu Qin was sentenced to death when he was angry. As long as the remarried person can pay the same dowry gift, he is allowed to remarry.
"Sir, how can you sentence her like this? She married my son. She was born as a member of my family and died as a ghost of my family. How can she remarry? This is against the rules."
An old man rushed in and shouted in the hall.
Xu Qin looked at the old man and his pretty daughter-in-law. Suddenly something bad happened.
"Old man, you don't have any thoughts about your widowed daughter-in-law, do you?" Xu Qin slapped the crowd and said angrily.
The daughter-in-law immediately lowered her head and said nothing, and the old man's face turned red with anger.
"How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? My old man is an upright man. If you don't believe me, ask this woman, how have I ever..." The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"My lord, my father-in-law has absolutely no evil thoughts towards the little girl. All the neighbors can testify. The little girl is shameless and can't keep it any longer."
The woman covered her face and cried.
"Sigh... That's nonsense. Confucius said food and sex are the same thing. It's natural for men to be lustful. Don't women have natural instincts? If you can't keep it, it's your true nature. If you keep it, it's against human nature. I'll let you marry..."
Xu Qin said softly. The verdict will be written in court.
"Sir, you can't. Isn't this unfaithful and unfilial?" The old man was still struggling.
"Old man, this has nothing to do with loyalty and filial piety. You, an old man, keep a beautiful daughter-in-law. Even if you have a clear conscience, aren't you afraid of others gossiping about you? Is it true that confining a woman's body and mind is loyalty and filial piety? Stupid..."
Xu Qin reprimanded her in court and finally found the sense of upholding justice and became a friend of women.
There were a few old women who were unreasonable and wanted to make a fuss. Xu Qin asked Heitan to come out and carry the mace to where to stop. Two of them were frightened to death.
"If he doesn't accept it, I'll let him go to your house for dinner." Xu Qin pointed at the black charcoal head that was more than 200 meters tall.
Black Charcoal Head saw his master pointing at him and immediately grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth. He looked like a man-eating beast, not to mention that he also had an oversized mace.
Sure enough, no one was beeping anymore, and Xu Qin felt refreshed. It’s really comfortable to be a good person.
After everything was settled, Xu Qin found that he seemed to have been fooled.
