Chapter 120 Fan Tieniu's Lawsuit

Jiaobaiwan Village, Hengtang Township has been very lively these two days. First, the relatives of the Lu family drove away the son-in-law Fan Tieniu, who was not a member of the Lu family, and his daughter and grandson also disappeared.

The Lu family Jiu occupied the magpie's nest and held funerals for Lu Yuanwai, and they were ready to take over all of Lu Yuanwai's family property.

However, the natal family of Lu Yuanwai's wife, Wu's family, was unwilling to let the property fall into the hands of the Lu family. Two brothers of Wu's family brought a dozen of Wu's children to help Wu's funeral.

The son-in-law Fan Tieniu was driven away, and his daughter and grandson also fled. The Lu family and the Wu family no longer had any obstacles, and began to discuss how to divide the property of Lu Yuanwai.

Until then, Lu Yuanwai's wife Wu, who had been fooled by the two brothers, woke up like a dream.

It turned out that the Lu family and her natal family didn't want to leave the property to their daughter, nor did they keep saying that they were afraid that the Fan family would rob the property, but that they wanted to divide up the property that should belong to their daughter and grandson.

Wu lay in front of her husband's coffin, crying loudly, and was carried into the room by her two brothers, and several women from the Lu family and the Wu family took turns to persuade Wu.

However, serious disagreements also occurred between the Lu family and the Wu family's property division. The Lu family only agreed to distribute the house outside the Lu family and a shop in the city to the Wu family for the elderly.

The more than 600 mu of land left by Lu Yuanwai all belonged to the Lu family and was inherited by several brothers and sisters of Lu Yuanwai.

However, the Wu family could not accept this method of division. They demanded that at least half of the land be allocated to the Wu family for the elderly, and the two sides had a fierce quarrel over the division of the [-] mu of land.

In the room, Lu Ah Shui slapped the table and said angrily: "Part of my brother's land was left by my father, and it has nothing to do with your Wu family. My elder brother left, of course the Lu family will take back these lands.

The rest of the land was saved by my elder brother little by little over the past few decades. It is the utmost benevolence to leave the shop and house to my sister-in-law, not giving up even an acre of land! "

Wu Chongyi, the eldest brother of the Wu family, sneered and said, "Everyone is from the village, who doesn't know who? Your father left a total of [-] mu of land, and each of your brothers shared [-] mu of land, and each of your two daughters gave [-] mu of land. If you want money but don’t want land, my brother-in-law will spend money to buy all the land in your hands. This matter was mediated by my father.

The rest of the land was bought one after another with the money earned by the restaurants in the city over the past 20 years. Now that the restaurants are not making any money, you just want the land. You have taken up all the good things. Why? "

Lu Ah Shui yelled straight up, "Just because our surname is Lu and your surname is Wu, the land belongs to our Lu family, and your Wu family can't take it away."

At this moment, a member of the Lu family ran into the door in a panic, and said anxiously: "Second Uncle, the government is here, and many archers are here!"

Lu Ah Shui was taken aback, why did the government come here?
He also stayed in the county government for two years, and he knew the rules of the county government very well. Generally, only the county magistrate would go to the countryside for inspection. Unless there was something important, most archers would not come over.

Could it be the Fan family?
Lu Ahshui's heart suddenly trembled, and the scene that happened two years ago is still clearly remembered.

At this time, he had already heard Dutou Lu Yougen's rough voice, "Everyone get out of the way, the government is investigating the case!"

Lu Ah Shui couldn't stay any longer, so he hurried to the yard.

The yard was full of archer police officers in red-trimmed soap coats and long knives on their waists, while the young and old of the Lu family in the coffin shed hid on the other side, looking at the murderous police officers in fear.

Lu Ah Shui hurriedly stepped forward to salute the capital Lu Yougen, "Lu Dutou, long time no see."

Although Lu Ahshui and Lu Yougen often claimed to belong to the same family when they were in the county government, in fact they have nothing to do with each other, especially today the county magistrate Gao specifically explained.

Lu Yougen said coldly: "Lu Min went to the county government to report the case, saying that his grandfather passed away for no reason, and the matter is of great importance. Under the order of Lord Gao, I came here to investigate the case. Please cooperate!"

Lu Ahshui was startled and angry at once, "My brother obviously died of illness, why is it unclear? I know, it must be Fan Tieniu's instigation, he is so courageous!"

"Shut up!"

Lu Yougen shouted angrily, "If there is a report, there will be an investigation. Who are you from Lu Atian?"

"I'm his brother!"

Lu Yougen asked coldly, "I want to see Lu Atian's wife and children, where are they?"

At this moment, Wu Chongyi stepped forward and said, "My eldest sister is in poor health, so it's inconvenient to see outsiders."

"Who are you?"

Lu Yougen glared at him, "Are you Lu Youzhuang's son?"

Wu Chongyi quickly waved his hands, "No! No! I'm his brother-in-law."

"It's really funny. The county government is investigating the case, but the real master is not there. A bunch of messy people are active. I want to see the real master. Where are their family members?"

At this time, Wu's disheveled hair came out, knelt down in front of Lu Yougen and cried, "The officials are the masters of the women!"

"You are Lu Atian's wife?"

"The folk woman is exactly!"

Lu Yougen nodded, "Your grandson and daughter went to the county government to report the case, saying that someone wanted to seize your husband's family property, resulting in his unexplained death. This case involves murder for money. The county lord attaches great importance to it, so I led archers to investigate. case."

This sentence made everyone around take a breath of air, and they retreated one after another.

Lu Ah Shui and Wu Chongyi looked at each other, and Lu Ah Shui hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lu Dutou misunderstood, my brother really died of illness, no one harmed him, let alone seek his property."

Wu cried loudly: "It's not for making money, what are you doing here? Return my daughter and grandson!"

Wu Chongyi stomped his feet anxiously, "Sister, these are two different things. The death of brother-in-law has nothing to do with us. We are here to help you because we are afraid that you will suffer."

At this time, Lu Yougen's face was gloomy, and he said impatiently: "There is no need to explain, we will follow the regulations, first confirm the property, Aunt Wu, I need all the property certificates under your husband's name, please give me the land deed, house deed, and To count the money and belongings at home, we need to register it.”

Wu pointed to Lu Ahshui and said, "He took away both the land deed and the house deed!"

Lu Yougen snorted coldly, "It seems that he is suspected of murder for money, let me take it down!"

Several archers rushed forward and knocked Lu Ahshui to the ground. Lu Ahshui shouted angrily, "I didn't murder for money, I just kept it on my behalf. The house deed and land deed are in the room."

"Whether there is a crime or not, we will talk about it after investigation!"

Before Mrs. Wu could speak, Wu Chongyi quickly handed over the key to the cellar, "This is the key to the cellar. My brother-in-law's money is all in the cellar."

Lu Yougen snorted heavily, and ordered his subordinates, "Move all the things out and register!"

His subordinates entered the house, and after a while, they took out the land deed and the house deed, and a dozen policemen laboriously lifted out several large and heavy boxes from the cellar. They were all silver and copper coins, and they had been sealed. .

At this time, Qian Zuo walked out quickly from the coffin shed, and said something to Lu Yougen in a low voice.

Lu Yougen nodded, and said to everyone: "We will thoroughly investigate the cause of Lu Atian's death. Before the investigation is concluded, you can carry out the funeral normally. As for the land deed, house deed and property, they will be temporarily detained by the government as evidence. Once the investigation is over , we will return them to the owner."

Lu Yougen waved his hand, "Take it away!"

The policemen carried a few big boxes and left the Lu family with the deeds and land deeds, and returned to the county government, leaving only dozens of members of the Lu family and Wu family stunned.

"We've been fooled!"

Wu Chongyi became annoyed and said to Lu Ahshui: "The county government is clearly here to help Fan Tieniu fight for property, what should we do except Lu Yuan?"

Lu Ahshui gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe that County Magistrate Gao dared to cover up Fan Tieniu so unscrupulously. I want to file a lawsuit and ask for the return of the property belonging to the Lu family."

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Two days later, Lu Atian's property dispute case started trial in the county government.

The day before, the county government had concluded the investigation into Lu Atian's death, confirming that he died of a serious illness, but the property dispute caused by this case became more and more troublesome.

More than [-] members of the Lu family jointly filed a lawsuit with the county government, demanding that Lu Atian's land deed be returned to the Lu family.

But because the Wu family refused to fight for property any more, the covetous Wu family had to withdraw from Lu Atian's property dispute.

In the courtroom, there were Lu Ahshui and his two younger sisters on one side, and Fan Tieniu's family of three on the other.

Gao Fei looked at the complaints of both parties. He first asked Lu Ah Shui, "Lu Ah Tian died of illness. Although he has no son, he has a son-in-law, a daughter, and his own grandson. You and your sister want to divide your brother's land. What is your reason?" ?”

Although Lu Ahshui was born as a litigator, he was still a little powerless in the face of the sharp questioning of the county magistrate Gao. After all, he had never considered taking the property by going to court, but wanted to drive away Fan Tieniu and seize the property with a large number of rogues. brother's land.

Even if the squire mediates, he is confident that he will not lose to the Fan family, not to mention that the official Zhu that the Fan family relies on has returned to Wujiang?

But he never imagined that this matter would bring trouble to the county government. Lu Ahshui knew that he was wronged, and he flinched a little, but he couldn't explain it in front of his clansmen, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight the lawsuit.

"Reporting to the county lord, my father kept [-] acres of my brother's [-] acres of land, and my two sisters and I didn't get it. My brother directly transferred the land deed to himself without our consent.

In addition, my elder brother's house and his restaurant in the county were left by my father. We all believe that although the elder brother has the right to inherit, after the elder brother dies, the ancestral property should be inherited by other brothers and not directly handed over to ourselves offspring. "

Lu Ahshui's younger sister also added: "We don't want the family property earned by the elder brother himself, we only want the property left by the father."

What the other party said made sense, Gao Fei nodded, and asked Fan Tieniu's family of three, "What do you say?"
