The tense and fulfilling day passed in a hurry.
The next day, Qi Yu wanted to sleep in and have a dream about his wife like he did yesterday, but he was woken up by the sound of harsh drumming.
What's wrong? This is?
While I was confused, I suddenly saw a Yamen servant coming in to complain, saying, "Sir, someone is beating a drum outside the Yamen to complain."
What? Someone complained?
Wow, this is really an unprecedented first time.
Surprised, but also confused: in the past, despite the raging natural disasters and rampant man-made disasters, no one beat the drum of grievance outside the yamen; now that we have food to rely on and a stable place to live, these quiet years are actually good. Someone is calling for injustice.
Could it be that you are full because you are full?
According to legal procedures, when people file a complaint, they must first go to the county government office to complain. If the county government office cannot handle the matter, it will be passed to the superior government office.
Could it be that the case coming today is a major one?
possible!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu hurriedly climbed out of bed, washed his face, combed his hair, beautified his appearance, and put on his official uniform to ascend to the throne.
"Welcome, sir!"
"No gift!"
"..."
Above the lobby, the government officials had already taken their places, and they all stood there majestically, waiting for Mr. Qi's arrival.
This is the first meeting of the government this year. Who would have the nerve to lag behind?
Just seize the opportunity to perform...
Before the trial started, Peng Wenchang quietly walked to the case and gave a brief summary of today's case to the presiding officer Qi Yu: "Master Qi, there are two cases today, which may take a long time."
oh?
If this doesn’t come, it’s already over, but if it comes, they will become a couple?
Qi Yu smiled nonchalantly and said: "As a local magistrate, it is your duty to try and decide lawsuits, so how can you not overdo it and be tired? Haha, to be honest, sir, I have been a magistrate for so long, and today This is the first time I’ve tried a case, and it’s the first time a big girl has gotten on the sedan chair!”
Peng Wenchang couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and reminded him: "These two cases may be a little special, so you'd better be mentally prepared."
"Oh? What kind of special method is it?"
"As far as the normal process is concerned, all civil lawsuits must first be tried by the county government. If they are dissatisfied with the sentence, they can go to our government office to complain and request a review of the case. In addition, they must first submit the complaint to Go to the execution chamber to establish a file. But today's two lawsuits are very different. There is neither a filing certificate from the county government nor an application for review. I really don't know why."
Could it be...
Could it be...
Forget it, don't make blind guesses. As for what is going on, you will know after the first trial.
Qi Yu's face straightened up, he held up the official hat on his head, slapped his hand on the wall, and shouted: "Whoever plays the drum, please bring him to the court!"
"yes!"
Not long after, three old men in brocade robes walked slowly into the hall from the gate, and the government officials also beat the ground with water and fire sticks like chickens pecking at rice to show their solemnity and majesty.
Then it's time to meet the official and present the complaint.
Qi Yu took the paper and gently spread it out. When he saw it, he couldn't help being shocked: Drink! What a handsome Taige body!
The writing on this paper implies a strong character, but also reveals a feminine beauty, as if it was written by a woman.
Do you think that in my land of Qiongzhou, there are such outstanding 'female scholars'?
It's so incredible.
After calming down, Qi Yu began to calm down and read the facts in the complaint carefully.
Contrary to expectations, there is neither a plaintiff nor a defendant in this case, which is a bit like asking for an explanation from a knowledgeable official.
What's going on?
Let’s hear the case breakdown:
These three old people's surnames are Gao, Sun, and Chen. They are all small and wealthy local businessmen in Qiongzhou, and they are also sincere friends who have known each other for many years.
In terms of life, they have no shortage of food and drink, and they live in a respectable manner. But the fly in the ointment is that all three of these people have incomplete fates, and they all come from destitute families.
In addition, the three of them have a common bad habit.
What?
——I like visiting brothels.
And today's case is related to their visit to the brothel, or simply called: a happy case caused by a fan.
The incident happened in the autumn of last year. At that time, the only brothel in Qiongzhou City was still in business. After drinking, the three of them got very excited and took advantage of their drunkenness to come to the fireworks place. What was unexpected was that they actually fell in love with a fan at the same time.
In order not to hurt the harmony: scissors and hammer to paper!
So, they followed the order of winning and losing, first and last, and did the cloudy and rainy things one by one. After the three of them had worked hard for their lives and played their part, they all left with satisfaction.
Things were not over yet, and something unexpected happened.
What?
Not only did the fan become pregnant, but she also gave birth to a healthy baby boy this summer.
Son, who doesn’t want that?
Especially Juehu!
So the question is, whose family does this child belong to?
All three of them contributed, and each of them had a chance, but there was only one true father.
For this reason, three old families who knew their destiny began to argue endlessly. They all said that the child must belong to their family and should inherit the incense of their family, and so on.
No destitute family would miss this God-given opportunity to have a child!
Fight!
The three of them argued more and more fiercely, and had no choice but to move the matter to the county government court.
The county magistrate looked at it: Damn it, the three of you had sex at the same time and left at the same time. This... how do I know who the child is? Don't yell, whoever you love belongs to someone else, it's not mine anyway, give them all to me assholes!
In the end, the county government refused to file the case on the grounds that it was "indecent"!
At this moment, the three of them were really dumbfounded. Could it be that in this huge Qiongzhou Prefecture, there was no authoritative explanation?
Just when the three of them felt hesitant and helpless, a wise female lawyer enthusiastically gave them guidance: I think you should go to the government office to find the ruling of the prefect. I have always heard that he advocates putting the people first in governance. Lord, we will never turn a blind eye to civil lawsuits.
Is this... possible?
Will the prefect also retreat like this?
The female lawyer said: Definitely not. The "place of incident" of this case is within his city. As the chief minister here, he has the responsibility to accept the case. I write this complaint for you, free of charge!
In this way, the three of them handed the brand new petition to the government court.
Qi Yu couldn't help but frown after browsing the entire case. He didn't know how to judge such a bizarre case!
These days, there is no paternity testing technology, who knows who this child is?
Bloodshed to recognize relatives?
People had already done this, but the result was the third father phenomenon. It was precisely because of this that they chose to move the government to the government and let the senior officials of the yamen make the judgement.
But this time, the high-ranking officials in the yamen couldn't get up.
How to fix it?
Qi Yu looked at the paper with a dumbfounded look and couldn't help but frown.
