Zhao Dazhong came to see Li Qiu Sui after another day, "Girl, only two families are willing to go to the county government to sue the Zhao family. One of them is the family whose land was taken away by the Zhao family and was beaten lame. What's the return? There is a family where there is only one blind old woman who is alone and has no children. It turns out that there is a little granddaughter in the family. The grandfather and grandson depend on each other. Although life is difficult, they can still get by. The granddaughter went to Zhao's house half a year ago to sell the crops she grew. The first two times went smoothly and I got dozens of big bucks, but the third time I disappeared... The old lady cried blindly from then on... As soon as I promised to find someone to help me write the petition, the old lady immediately wanted to follow me. I'm leaving..."
well!
Zhao Da sighed in his heart, "...there was no one at home, and the house was sold in order to find a granddaughter. The family that bought the house was quite kind, and they saw how pitiful she was and didn't send her out ruthlessly. She continued to live there. It's not suitable there either, so I'll take the initiative to take him to the concierge of our newly purchased house and place him there."
Zhao Da glanced at Li Qiu Sui out of the corner of his eye and saw no displeasure. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll come over and tell the girl that I'll go to the county town today to see if I can persuade the two families again."
enough! Two families are enough.
Li Qiusui nodded, "Let them go to the county government tomorrow to file a complaint. If you go to the county today, I have something to tell you..."
Zhao Da nodded blankly, took the things handed over by Li Qiusui in a daze, and finally drove the mule cart to the county seat in a daze.
…
Another day later, Zhao Da got up early and took two families to the county government to file a complaint.
Well, it should be said that it is three households, because he represents the Li family.
The paper specially written for help must have a stamp issued by the Yamen, which means that it must be written by a scholar recognized by the Yamen. The old boy Zhao Da was looking for worked part-time at a stall on the roadside of the county town to help people write family letters.
It's not that Zhao Da didn't want to find a scholar with a stamp to help write it.
First of all, he didn't know any decent scholars in the county. Li Changan's husband knew such a person, but what the girl did was still hidden from the family. Would he dare to come to her? Furthermore, the girl asked to take someone to the county government office today, and she did not require any kind of person to write the petition. As long as it had a stamp and the government office approved it, otherwise it would be a waste of time and effort, and the official business would be delayed.
Although this old boy's road to the imperial examination was difficult and not smooth, his ability to write petitions seemed to Zhao Da to be quite proficient and high-level.
Just like Zhao Da sued the Zhao family on behalf of the Li family, the forced purchase of fruit has not caused any adverse consequences.
When Lao Tongsheng asked about the origin of the feud between Zhao Da, Zhao and Li, they suggested that tricking Li Sizhu into signing a gambling contract with high interest rates could be regarded as the main cause, while the forced purchase of fruits could only be treated as a secondary cause.
Zhao Da felt that this proposal was good and reasonable.
The family whose leg was broken had someone write the petition themselves, and the blind old woman's petition was written by Lao Tongsheng.
Just reading the beginning of the first sentence makes people very angry and brings tears to their eyes...
The person who wrote the complaint was reliable, which gave Zhao Da some confidence.
Just as he was taking the lead to lead people to the gate of the county government office with the papers in his arms, a young boy rushed towards him from behind.
Zhao Dayan hurriedly pulled the blind old woman away, thus avoiding the fate of being knocked to the ground.
"Whose boy? He is reckless and has no rules at all!"
The person I was talking to was one of Huang Guanshi's minions. They were used to running rampant on the name of Changshun, and they were not afraid even when they arrived at the gate of the county government office.
It's thanks to these people these days, otherwise Zhao Dalian wouldn't be able to get through the doors of many of his masters' homes.
Zhao Da wanted to say a few words of comfort, but his words were stuck in his throat due to what the reckless boy had just shouted.
"Sir! Your Majesty the County Magistrate! My master...my master is dying!"
It turned out that the master was ill and could no longer hear. Zhao Da felt that the incident was extenuating and there was no need to worry about it.
So, I paused while taking out the paper...
Over there, a yamen servant who knew the boy spoke, "What happened to Mr. Zhao? Weren't the yamen people fine yesterday evening?"
Someone nearby snorted, "Not only are the people in the lower office doing well, but Mr. Zhao was even more energetic in Chunfeng Tower last night! It's only been one night, why can't he be a good person? Tell me quickly, what happened?"
The young boy was surrounded by a group of servants and clerks on duty in the Yamen, and they kept saying nothing to Mr. Zhao.
The young boy is now in a state of confusion, and the house is still in chaos. He was assigned by the young master of the family to come over to the Yamen to say something.
"Speak quickly, tell me quickly what's going on?"
When urged, the boy began to speak incoherently, "Last night was fine! We adults are always in good health... Last night suddenly things got bad... It was already midnight, and the Eighteenth Aunt suddenly shouted loudly. Called... the master's nose is crooked and his eyes are squinted, and he can't speak."
Some officials who couldn't deal with Mr. Zhao gloated: "Master Zhao, won't he go crazy immediately? After half the night in Chunfeng Tower, he drank so much wine, and even went into his aunt's room at night. He must have gone crazy immediately. Yeah! Tsk tsk..."
"You're going crazy right now! This disease is serious! Didn't your mistress ask a doctor for your master? What did the doctor say? Are you going crazy right now?"
The person speaking was flushed, and others couldn't tell that he was concerned and excited. Or are you gloating and excited?
Zhao Da was thoughtful and murmured to himself: "Which Mr. Zhao? How many Mr. Zhao are there in the Yamen?"
Someone came over and answered in a low voice, "There are three Mr. Zhaos. They should be talking about Mr. Zhao who is the scribe. There are also two Mr. Zhaos who are guarding the county government prison cell!"
This person is also a subordinate of Guanshi Huang. When they work in Changshun, they have to deal with all the officials in the county government, big and small. Which one of them doesn't have a clear background?
The two yamen guards guarding the cell were not like these people talking here, and the Zhao family's boy was not so careless. It was obvious that the backbone of the Zhao family had fallen, and someone had randomly sent such an unreliable boy to make noises.
The man added: "Just wait and see, within half a quarter of an hour, the news that Mr. Zhao is about to go crazy will spread to all corners of the county."
Zhao Da's heart skipped a beat, was it a coincidence? The girl is still practicing calligraphy and embroidery in her house in Lijiacun. It should have nothing to do with Mr. Zhao going crazy!
Yes, it had nothing to do with him. He just walked past Mr. Zhao yesterday evening and squeezed a pill in his purse. After that, he didn't do anything extra.
What about the people around that time? Did they all immediately go crazy? Why don't you go out and inquire about it later?
There are more important things at the moment!
Zhao Da reacted smartly and quickly grabbed a guard. He calmly stuffed a silver dumpling into the family, murmured something under his breath, and handed over the papers from the three families.
