The ladies in Majia Village wanted to refute Lu Songli's words, but no matter what they said, the onlookers would boo them.
Being so obviously targeted, they could only walk away in despair.
Lu Mingzhi and his group just came back from the county government office and watched such a scene.
Earlier, he had just experienced a baptism of language at the Liucheng County Yamen. Mr. Xue quoted from classics and argued with each other, pushing the entire case step by step in the direction he wanted.
As soon as he came back, he personally experienced some of the confusing remarks from his second sister. His second sister's mouth could really be said to be alive by her.
As long as he is not a man and does not feel the deep malice in his second sister's words, he will believe that his second sister is completely thinking about those men who are poor but require women not to dislike poverty and love wealth.
Today he has deeply realized that language is really a sharp weapon.
Lu Mingzhi discovered that whether it was his father, Mr. Xue or his second sister, they were all so powerful.
He really couldn't help it at this time. He looked at the sky, God, there are so many smart people and sharp-tongued people in this world, why can't there be one more like him?
Xue Xu also heard the words of Mrs. Sixth Young Master, and he secretly thought that Majia Village was going to be in bad luck.
People in Liucheng have never heard of such playful and persuasive words, and the common people will also add fuel to the flames.
Because there are always people who accidentally give birth to two daughters who are fooled by men and want to marry low. Well, I am lucky that my family does not have such an innocent daughter. There are always relatives, right? They have to persuade such a girl. The words of the Sixth Young Madam are very suitable for persuading people.
As soon as Mrs. Liu's remarks spread, Majia Village will become famous, and this name is not a good one.
The village chief of Majia Village was dealing with the aftermath. Mrs. Ma was beaten ten times and her pants were soaked with blood. She couldn't just ignore her, right? And he stayed because he wanted to take the opportunity to warn her that if she still wanted her life, she should stop talking about it.
When he arranged for a few strong men in the village to lift Mrs. Ma into the carriage, he saw Ma Zhongping coming back with a sad face. He had no wife or daughter behind him. It was obvious that Qi Zhenniang and her daughter were unwilling to come back with him.
Looking at the ladies who were following them, the mayor of Majia Village noticed that they looked wrong, so he quickly asked.
When he knew what happened, his vision went dark.
Originally, the case at Mrs. Ma's house had a bad impact, but now coupled with Lu Songli's words, what good reputation does Majia Village have?
"You're back?" After sending the annoying people away, Lu Songli greeted Lu Mingzhi and the others with a smile, as if she didn't realize what shocking remarks she made.
"Yes, second sister, you don't know, Mr. Xue is so powerful..."
Lu Mingzhi's eloquence was good, and he described almost the entire case clearly and completely. Only some details were supplemented by the help of the brothers who went together.
The brothers present who did not follow him to the county government were stunned for a moment. They looked at Xue Xu and said to themselves, they didn't expect this dry little old man to have a strong mouth.
Ordinary people are afraid of going to court and going to court because justice is never so easy to get. Many people in the government are eating one thing and another. Sometimes you don't get justice just by being reasonable.
Although they did not follow, they were quite concerned about the outcome of the case, but they were not sure about the outcome.
Lu Songli listened quietly. Xue Xu was indeed knowledgeable and talented. The methods of ancient sages such as "The suspicion of crime should be light, the suspicion of merit should be serious. It is better to lose the right than to kill the innocent." has been passed down for a long time. , and even provided an ideological basis for later generations of justice. The later generations' "doubtless crime, never blame" is actually inherited and perfected from "suspicious suspicion, never guilty", and its legal spiritual context can be followed.
"Mr. Xue is amazing." Lu Songli praised.
Xue Xu is really good and handled this matter beautifully. What she is most satisfied with is that Xue Xu's lawsuit can enlighten people's consciousness.
Chinese people are so good. When they are scolded, criticized, or accused of bad things, many people are used to reflecting on themselves first, and then eagerly proving their innocence. In Lu Songli's view, he was too deeply influenced by Confucian culture and his sense of attack was too weak.
She agreed very much with what Tiandao said, that a strong culture creates the strong, and a weak culture creates the weak.
In Liaoxi County and Liucheng, a place where wars are frequent, the people are as docile as sheep. Are they not being slaughtered by foreigners?
This matter was not his fault alone. Xue Xu hesitated and asked, "Does the Sixth Young Master know Mr. He Ziqihe?"
Xue Xu thought about it and found this was the only possibility. The Sixth Young Master had previously arranged for Lu Mingzhi to assist him, but he thought it was unnecessary. But the Sixth Young Master always had her own way of doing things, and she might have other motives for making such arrangements, so he did not refuse.
Then, the case went smoothly from beginning to end, and the other party obviously let them get through it smoothly.
Lu Songli nodded slightly and did not deny his statement.
After the case was over, it was not advisable for them to stay in the city for a long time. The group packed up and left the city in a mighty manner. Before that, Lu Songli took Lu Mingzhi and wrote a simple letter of thanks together and sent it to the county. Yamen.
He Ziqi arranged for someone to be at the front gate of the county government office, and the letter was delivered smoothly.
When the messenger came back, Lu Songli knew that He Ziqi was a smart man. The two parties had confirmed each other's identities without meeting each other, and they knew each other tacitly.
When leaving the city, Lu Mingzhi continued to talk about the previous case.
Everyone was not bored and listened with great interest.
When we arrived outside the city, we found an open space near the water source. We began to divide work and cooperate, setting up camp, collecting firewood for hunting, burying pots to make rice...
Qin Sheng went hunting, and today's incident was safe. Lu Songli suggested cooking a delicious meal to reward everyone.
Not long after, the meal was ready. Qin Jia came to the river and called Lu Songli and Lu Mingzhi to come over for dinner.
Lu Songli stood up and the three of them walked to the meal point together.
Lu Mingzhi looked around first, and then said to his second sister, "Mr. Xue's behavior of criticizing others is the same as our father."
These people can stand and talk without pain in their backs. Unless a knife is used on them, they will not know the pain. Fortunately, Xue Xu had already shown them how to resist.
As soon as Lu Songli arrived, Qin Sheng handed her the rice.
Lu Songli took it and said, "Mr. Xue's approach is right. When we encounter injustice, we should not always ask ourselves where we have done wrong. It is possible that it is not you who are wrong, but others."
Lu Mingzhi hesitated and said, "But the sage said, I have to examine myself three times every day." What his second sister said was different from what his master taught.
"It's a good habit." Lu Songli took the meal and found a seat to sit down, leaving a seat next to Qin Sheng.
"Second sister, are you like this too?"
"Yes, so do I." Lu Songli looked towards the pot of pheasant stewed with mushrooms as she spoke.
Immediately there was a chopstick of fragrant mushrooms and chicken in her bowl.
She ate it and thought it tasted delicious. She thought to herself that one day, she would like to try stewing a goose in an iron pot. But she didn't dare to say it. She was afraid that if she said it, her husband would directly bring her a big goose tomorrow.
Hearing this, Xue Xu looked towards her. This doesn't seem like something she would say. Strong people usually have firm thoughts, are not easily shaken by others, and rarely doubt their own decisions.
Lu Mingzhi didn't understand even more, "Second sister, then you are not a spear——"
Lu Songli said simply, "I have to examine myself three times every day, and I am not wrong."
puff--
Qin Zhao, who had been listening to the words of the two siblings with open ears, immediately complained.
He looked at his sixth brother and sister and wanted to say, please don't say something shocking while eating.
Qin Sheng glanced at his third brother with disgust, personally brought enough food to his wife, and took her to the side.
Lu Mingzhi: ...As expected of her sister!
Others were also confused by her words.
Excuse me, what is the use of doing three provinces in one day?
It doesn't matter if you dare to be sentimental or not, the point is that you are right, right?
Lu Songli: As the saying goes, if you can embarrass others, don’t embarrass yourself. Others are blaming yourself, but you still reflect on yourself, bah! There is no use talking nonsense, let others reflect on themselves.
Xue Xu secretly nodded, that's right, strong men have clear aggression, but all their attacks are directed outwards, never towards themselves.
