my grandmother

Chapter 20 First Trial (Addition)
Li Wengang, the patriarch of the Li family and Uncle Li, only learned about Li Wencai's denunciation of Li Xuedong from Li Wenxi after Huang Xianzun arrived in Lijiaji.

Li Wenxi didn't know about the report until he saw Huang Xianzun and his younger brother Li Wencai.

Patriarch Li Wengang didn't bother to ask questions, and hurriedly accompanied Huang Xianzun. The clan elder Li Shikuan commanded the young and strong members of the clan, and according to Mr. Yao's instructions, set up a platform at the entrance of the ancestral hall, set up a pergola, and surrounded an area.

Some of the other clan elders were busy entertaining the clerks who came with them, and some were busy looking for people according to the list given by Mr. Yao.

Huang Xianzun brought more than a dozen people from the yamen secretary office, and they came to try the case. Naturally, there must be rules for hearing the case.

Li Wenxi didn't care about anything else, he just grabbed his younger brother Li Wencai and slapped him seven or eight times, but he couldn't find out why Li Wencai wrote this report, let alone withdraw it.

....................................

Gu Yan and his entourage arrived outside the Kunshan county seat, and the chief attendant at the front station came out from the city to report: The county magistrate Huang Xianzhou went to the Li family to try the case.

Gu Yan heard the words Li Jiaji, waved a whip, and ordered: "Go and see."

A group of people bypassed Kunshan County and went straight to Lijiaji.

When Gu Yan arrived at Lijiaji, the gate of Li's ancestral hall, the platform and shed had already been set up, and all the people who should pass on the story had arrived, including Li Yuzhu and Li Yinzhu who stayed at home. Everything was ready, waiting for the defendant Li Xuedong and Li Xiucai .

Gu Yan and his party consisted of three to forty people, dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, extremely ostentatious and conspicuous.

As soon as he arrived at the Lijiaji, Gu Yan squinted at the few women on the side of the road who stared straight at him, with silly faces, reined in the horse, and Shi Gun hurriedly handed over the black gauze hat without his order.

The eldest son of his family was very good-looking, but he hated people looking at him. Whenever he went out, he needed a hat.

Gu Yan put on the veiled hat, rode on the horse, and looked at the county magistrate Huang Xianzhou from afar.

Huang Xianzhou was also looking towards him.

Gu Yan stared at Huang Xianzhou unscrupulously. The last time he saw Huang Xianzhou, Huang Xianzhou had already held his second term in this small county in Kunshan, and he had been here for seven years. He was darker and darker then than now. Thin is more annoying.

He seemed to have wiped out even his reputation, what happened to him afterwards?

Gu Yan tried hard to think about it, but couldn't remember it.

A small county magistrate is too insignificant to him.

Almost all the people in Lijiaji gathered near the ancestral hall, and everyone was crowded.

Gu Yan got off his horse, and under the guard of Shi Gun and a few other servants, he walked through the passage that the crowd spontaneously gave way to him, circled the high platform for half a circle, picked a good place to watch the excitement, and stopped , shaking out the folding fan, slowly shaking it, waiting to see the excitement.

The cart coming from the Kunshan County wharf trotted all the way into Lijiaji, the crowd moved away, the cart went straight to the ancestral hall, and stopped in front of the shed. Mr. Gao jumped out of the cart first, followed by Li Jinzhu, and turned around to hug Li Xiaonan.

When Li Yuzhu and Li Yinzhu saw the elder sister, they hurriedly rushed forward, "Elder sister!"

Li Yuzhu is fine with this big sister, but Li Yinzhu has already burst into tears.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Mr. Gao was the first to comfort him.

Li Jinzhu hugged Li Xiaonan first, and stretched out his hands to help Li Xuedong. Li Xuedong, with a pale face, carefully protected the fine cloth gown, and jumped off the cart.

"It's nothing to worry about, don't be afraid, what else can I do!" Li Jinzhu looked at the high platform and shed that had been set up, reached out and patted Li Yuzhu and Li Yinzhu, and said in a low voice.

"I won't be afraid when Big Sister comes back." Li Yinzhu was next to Big Sister.

The elder sister is back, she is indeed not afraid anymore.

Li Yuzhu hugged Li Xiaonan tightly, and Li Xiaonan leaned into Li Yuzhu's ear, and said in a low voice, "Second sister, don't be afraid, brother is a talented man, he's definitely fine, and it's a good thing if there is something to do."

"Yeah." Li Yuzhu looked down at Li Xiaonan, trying to smile, but couldn't stop laughing halfway through.

Mr. Yao brushed his long gown, took a step forward, bowed his hands, and gave a very formal address to Mr. Huang Xianzun.

Huang Xianzun stood up and said with a smile to the patriarch, Uncle Li: "Everyone is here, Li Xiucai is also here, let's start."

The table was already set up on the high platform, covered with the purple tablecloth brought by the yamen servants, and the signing cylinder, gavel, official seal, paper, pen and inkstone, etc. were neatly arranged, and an inkstone was also ground in the inkstone.

Huang Xianzun sat on it, and a dozen yamen servants stood on both sides with water and fire sticks. After shouting three times, the surroundings were silent.

The clerk of the Ministry of Punishment strode forward, walked to the front of the high platform, faced the crowd, and called out the plaintiff Li Wencai in a loud voice, watched Li Wencai kneel down, shook off Li Wencai's indictment, and read it in a cadenced and melodious tone. , Shaking and complaining, he bowed to Huang Xianzun, took a few steps back, and stood beside the high platform.

"Li Wencai, did you write this report?" Huang Xianzun asked slowly with a smile on his face.

"Yes!" Li Wencai knelt in front of the high platform, held up the stiff finger marks on his face, and replied with a stiff neck.

"You said that Li Yu Xuedong, a new student in this county, was admitted to this new student because of an impostor, so do you know who this impostor is?" Huang Xianzun then asked.

"It's his sister! Li Xiaonan!" Li Wencai turned around and pointed at Li Xiaonan who was shivering behind Li Yuzhu.

"That little girl? Well, do you have any evidence? Do you have physical evidence?"

Huang Xianzun stretched his head and looked at Li Xiaonan who was hiding behind Li Yuzhu with only half of her face exposed.

"It's obvious! Li Xuedong is a sick man, he is so stupid! How could he pass the exam? His younger sister has been smart since she was a child, and she can learn to read at a glance. She never needs a second time. Listen to her My brother recites the book, he will recite it after listening to it once, and she will recite it, her brother has not yet read it smoothly!

"Also, she can write poems when she is five or six years old, and the poems are very clever! Li Xuedong, a scholar, must not have been tested by himself, but his sister must have taken the test for him!"

Li Wencai has a strong voice.

Huang Xianzun heard that writing poems was very spiritual, and glanced at Mr. Yao. Mr. Yao met Huang Xianzun's gaze, pulled the corner of his mouth down, and glanced at Li Wencai sideways.

He had already read the ink scrolls of Li Xuedong's County Examination, Government Examination, and Academy Examination. The poems for the examination were just correct rhymes, and they didn't match the word aura at all.

Li Xuedong's articles are also in a plain and heavy style. The advantage is that the reasoning is thorough, the arguments are clear, interlocking, step by step, and extremely powerful. A tall and brave northern man.

These are completely incompatible with aura and agility.

On the side of the high platform, Gu Yan listened intently to Li Wencai's words, narrowed his eyes slightly and then opened them, looking up and down, carefully looking at Li Xiaonan.

This little girl's poems are not eye-catching, and her articles are also thick and meticulous. Where is her compelling aura?
Is it pretend?
Impossible, this little girl doesn't have that kind of scheming, she has never had it before, and now she looks quite courageous, and she doesn't seem to have much heart.

Gu Yan looked at the Li family siblings who were huddled into a ball one by one, and his eyes fell on Li Xiaonan who shrugged and shrugged again, and snorted seemingly.

Now that I know I'm afraid, what about the courage I had when I looked at him blankly and ignorantly that day?Where did it go?

　Ah ah ah ah ah!
　　I have set a goal of 1000 monthly tickets, and it seems that I can't finish it in half a day. Hey, let's see if there are any monthly tickets. Please help me!

　　It's too embarrassing to not be able to complete it. I should have set a goal of 100 cards...

　　........................

　　And, recently, I have to grab food early in the morning every day, scan group purchases in various groups, check logistics to get express delivery, test nucleic acid and read reports, all kinds of things.

　　May the country and the people be safe and peaceful all over the world!
