Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 319, favoritism

Qiao Maoshu was a child student at the age of 16. I heard that the professors in the academy said that he would definitely be a scholar this year. That Qiao Hong just entered the academy, and he was halfway through. Just don't let Qiao Maoshu hold back and embarrass himself!
"Auntie, don't worry about Maoshu. His professor said that he is the most promising candidate. If Maoshu is a scholar, he won't have to kneel down to the county magistrate when he comes to the yamen, and he can get some money every month. " Qiao Maosheng said with a smile.

If he succeeds in the Juren examination next year, then he will be the pride of all Yaoshan, and he will also become the youngest Juren in Yaoshan!
The future career path is bright, and their family will occupy a pivotal position in Yaoshan County in the future.

"Not only that, if Maoshu can really win a scholar, his cousin and sister can also find a good marriage, and the business of his uncle's bakery can also improve." Qiao Yuncui laughed softly.

"Let Maoshu go to the aunt's house more often then." Qiao Maosheng said.

"Okay, okay..." Just as Qiao Yuncui finished speaking, the gavel sounded.

"Quiet, quiet!" Shi Jin said solemnly.

As he said that, he glared at Qiao Maosheng. It was a good day, but these greedy people got mixed up and made him a difficult place between the county king and the envoy Zhu Yan.

"Kowtow to my lord!" The people in the hall knelt together and said in unison.

"Congratulations, you took a piece of paper this morning, saying that you are going to sue the Xiao family of the Qiao family, claiming that she monopolizes the secret recipe of the Qiao family, plunders it by force, and deceives everyone in the Qiao family?" Shi Jinkai asked loudly.

"Master, that's right!" Congratulations said.

"Crack!" Shi Jin slapped the gavel angrily: "Nonsense, as the Zhu family, how could you sue the Qiao family? Quickly explain the reason clearly, otherwise don't blame me for punishing you for a crime of disturbing the court !"

Congratulations was so frightened that he bowed his head and kowtowed, "My lord, the shopkeeper of the Qiao family entrusted me to come here. His family members are nervous and unable to speak when they come to the court, so they asked the villain to appeal for him. Xiaomin has the entrustment documents here."

"Submit it!" Shi Jin said.

Qu Zhongyi forwarded the document to Shi Jinkai. After Shi Jinkai opened it, he read it briefly and closed it before asking questions.

"Since this is the case, there is no proof for the Zhu family and Qiao Er's family. As far as I know, the Xiao family forced her to marry Qiao Da. Now that Qiao Da is dead, even if it belongs to the old Qiao family, it still belongs to the Xiao family. All, why do you say she stole it, preempted it?" Shi Jin asked.

Qiao Xiangmin took out the old document from his sleeve, and said respectfully: "My lord, please look at this document. This document was written by Qiao Dajing and Qiao Erjing in the courtroom not long after my elder brother died four years ago. The above will draw the pledge himself!"

When Qiao Er heard that it was him who made the pledge, he panicked. He regretted it four years ago, because he was illiterate and didn't know what was written in the document, so he just believed it. At that time, the second uncle was sincere to them. Unexpectedly, he changed a lot after his father died.

He hurriedly stood up and clarified: "My lord, my lord was wronged. The villain doesn't know what is written in this document. The villain's family is illiterate. The second uncle's family tricked the villain into drawing it."

"Illiterate?" Qiao Maosheng didn't allow him to distinguish: "At the beginning, you heard Master Qu read it with your own ears. Now that you can't read, do you want to say that Master Qu and Master Shi are partial to us? The adults are all here!"

"My lord, Qiao Erjing is clearly messing up your lord and master's handling of the case. He was here at the beginning, and he said that he would temporarily hand over the family to my father, but he refused to admit it..."

Shi Jinkai thought he was noisy, and when he raised his hand, Qiao Maosheng closed his mouth.

"I know for myself, I don't need you to remind me!"

Qiao Maosheng replied yes, then continued to kneel with his head down.

Qiao Erjing was anxious, he had drawn the handprint of the painting, what if he gave the secret recipe of the family to the second uncle, what should he do!He is the sinner of his family.

"Big..." He wanted to say something again, but was held back by Xiao Qing who was behind him: "Second Classic, don't say anything, Mr. Shi will handle the case, let's not disturb him!"

No matter how impatient Qiao Erjing was, meeting his mother's calm eyes, many words stuck in his throat and he didn't say it.

"Mother, I believed in my second uncle at the time, but I didn't expect him to..."

Xiao Qing nodded silently: "Mother understands, first listen to what Magistrate Shi has to say!"

Qiao Erjing hummed, bowed his head and continued to listen to the case.

"According to the land use regulations of the Daqing Dynasty, those who have passed three years need to draw a new title deed in the yamen. I wonder if you have come to the yamen to get a new title deed after three years?" Shi Jinkai asked Qiao Xiangmin.

"Go back to my lord, take it, here!" Qiao Xiangmin presented the land deed in his hand.

Shi Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, he was well prepared, he took over the land deed from Qu Zhongyi, it was indeed a year ago.

"Since the title deed is in your hands, does the Xiao family seize your land?" Shi Jin asked.

Qiao Xiangmin stood up and saluted: "My lord, the Xiao family not only invaded my family's land, but also robbed the old Qiao's secret recipe. My lord, please look at the back of the written document. It is clearly written that no matter the land belongs to the old Qiao's property, everything The Erjing family can only use it after the grassroots are resettled, but now the Xiao family not only occupies the secret recipe of Lao Qiao's family, but also sells it to other people privately!"

"The grassroots have come to the door many times to negotiate with no results, and this wicked woman has been swearing at each other again and again, punching, kicking, and chasing with sticks. My lord, please punish this wicked woman and give the grassroots justice!"

"Fair?" Shi Jin said: "Qiao Er, do you know about the severe drought in recent years?"

Qiao Xiangmin didn't understand why Shi Jinkai asked such a question, but he understood that today's county king, Shi Jinkai, and Qu Zhongyi all wanted to excuse Xiao Shi, so what they said was naturally an excuse to exonerate Xiao Shi.

He won't be fooled, and instead said hoarsely: "My lord, the drought in Shangjing and Yaoshan has been quite serious in recent years, but this has nothing to do with Xiao's viciousness!"

"It doesn't matter?" Shi Jinkai smiled indifferently, and sneered: "There has been a severe drought in recent years, and your elder brother's family has lived on these tens of acres of fertile land. Four years ago, you allocated the land to your name and left it to your elder brother's family." You have a few acres of Susukida, and your elder brother, a dozen or so people, rely on those few acres of Susukida in drought years. They can't afford food or clothing, relying on neighbors to donate money, Qiao Erjing and Zhou's have come to you many times to ask for dozens of acres. land, but you beat me back. Your family is rich in food and clothing in the county, but you have never given anything to your elder brother’s orphan. How do you feel about this behavior? Today is a high court, but the law is nothing more than human feelings , this document is just a cover for your violence against your elder brother’s family, and now you dare to come to the Yamen to sue your sister-in-law for viciousness, occupying your farmland, and stealing your secret recipe, I think you are the one who is vicious!”

Well, well, great!
Qiao Erjing and Zhou praised it in their hearts, the magistrate of Shi County is Qingming, it is for this reason, that is to say, the second uncle is indeed a vicious person.

"My lord, you can't say that!" Qiao Xiangmin said with a stern face: "My lord, you can't let Mrs. Xiao help you find water sources and save the people, so that you can put an end to her evil deeds. My lord is so selfish. There is evidence to sue her, not empty talk, and please ask your lord to follow the law and let the Xiao family return the secret recipe of the Qiao family!"

"What's more, now in Yaoshan, which family can live like her family?" The voice of this sentence is relatively low.
