Great Lawyer

Chapter 189 Happy Events and Funerals (Part [-])

Yang Qiuniang went to live in Deqing Inn.

On the same day, Su Zhiyin went to Yu Zhan's house to make a fuss, but was dragged back by his family.

The Hu family went to get the dowry back with the Ruan family, and the Ruan family brought people all over Shaoyang to find Yang Qiuniang.

After three or five days, somehow the rumors of Su Zhiyin and Hu Shoucai's bridal chamber became known all over Shaoyang, so the Su family went to the Hu family again and asked the Hu family to make the same mistake, otherwise they would sue Hu Shoucai for adultery.

Hu Shoucai said: "Anyway, if I don't marry that hag, if I get her back, the family will be thrown into chaos."

"If you didn't marry, you were still sleeping with someone else." Hu Shouye pointed at his younger brother, hating that iron could not be made into steel. "Such an ugly woman, if you found out that she was wrong at the time, you just kicked it out. You, you can do it too."

Hu Shou was so angry that he slapped himself, "I, I was in a daze at the time, thinking that it was a woman anyway, who..."

Who knew that after becoming a glutinous rice cake, he was actually asked to marry him. After this, after this marriage, either she will die or he will die.

"Brother, go talk to County Magistrate Liu again. Du Jiuyan was the one who judged the case. Maybe County Magistrate Liu won't admit it?" Hu Shoucai said.

Hu Shouye gave him a blank look, "You went in the morning, County Magistrate Liu said that Du Jiuyan's judgment was very good. As for other disputes, if you have any objections, you can write your own pleadings and sue, and he will accept it."

"I, why should I say goodbye to others?" Hu Shoucai was very depressed, he was sued by the Su family, "Bring me in at that time."

Hu Shouye said with a sullen face, "I think write a letter to Mr. Li in the government office. Let Mr. Li write a letter to the Su family, then the Su family will not dare to make trouble."

"Yes, yes, Master Li must be in charge." Hu Shoucai now, as long as she is not allowed to marry Su Zhiyin, he can do whatever he wants, "Brother, hurry up and write to Master Li."

Hu Shouye prepared 1000 taels of bank notes, thought for a while and took 200 taels, and wrote a letter for his servant to send to Baoqing.

Baoqing is the capital city of Baoqing Mansion, so the traffic is much more lively than Shaoyang. After waiting for a long time outside the yamen, Hu's family member finally saw Mr. Li coming out. He hurriedly followed the sedan chair all the way to the gate of Li's Mansion, and then ran up. , shouted: "Master Li, Mr. Li is wronged."

Mr. Li's real name is Li Jun, and his name is "Zhi". He is from Nanyang, Henan Province. He grew up in a poor family. When he was 17 years old, he entered the Ma family and married Ma Yuniang, who was two years older than him. They had two daughters, both of whom were married give birth to a son.

It has been five years since Mr. Li came to Baoqing to be the magistrate of the prefecture, and now he is going through his mentor in Beijing to prepare for the work report next year.

But because King Gui has been here once, he has been worried these days, and he is very afraid that King Gui will make things difficult for him in the matter of reporting.

"Whose servant are you from?" Master Li looked at the servant from the Hu family, and accepted the letter he handed over, "What grievances do you have?"

The servant just added details and recounted the incident of getting into the wrong bridal sedan chair, "Now the Su family has to rely on our young master to marry their daughter. But our young master is also a victim. His good wife has left, and he has to be forced to marry him." to marry a hag."

Master Li frowned, "Why is it Shaoyang again?" He opened the letter and saw the letter inside and the bank note inside, so he accepted the letter, "I know about this matter, I will write to you Master Liu, let him handle it as appropriate."

"It's this Du Jiuyan, why is she everywhere?" Master Li thought of Du Jiuyan's appearance. When he sent the Queen Mother to Yizhi last time, he felt that this child was shrewd and cunning. Now it seems that he must have accepted it. The family's money is why the lawsuit was judged in such a biased manner.

"What right does he have to adjudicate the lawsuit? He's going to do it for him, and the rooster rules the morning!" Mr. Li said with a flick of his sleeves, "Go, I will definitely not let this kind of person make Shaoyang a mess."

If it wasn't for her at that time, Yan Zhi would not have been able to write a letter to ask him for help, nor would he have been able to write a letter to reprimand the "Magistrate Liu" and offend King Gui.

This person is the culprit.

The Hu family servant said: "Then... the little one is waiting for the letter from the adults, and the little one will come to visit again at this time tomorrow afternoon."

"En." Master Li waved his hand to let the Hu family boy leave.

The boy looked for a place to stay for one night, and wandered around Baoqing Mansion the next day. He accidentally passed by the Li Mansion when it was almost noon, and suddenly saw many policemen coming in and out. He was startled, and went to look. Pulling people to inquire: "Excuse me, what happened to the Li family?"

"Last night, Mrs. Li took three maids and two concubines to kill Mr. Li." The old man who answered him made a expression with his tongue sticking out, "The body was carried out just now, and it was strangled to death. The woman's Heart, it's really cruel."

The servant was stunned, "No, no way. Mrs. Li killed Mr. Li..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. Women are more ruthless than men. I stayed overnight after killing someone. I went to report to the government just now, and the government took them away." The old man said: "Master Li also committed a crime, listen to the explanation I'm going to be promoted in [-], and I've worked hard for half my life, and it's all for nothing."

"A woman is a woman. She is cruel and short-sighted. Even if she survives after killing her husband, she has nothing to do."

"I can't live. Mr. Li is a fifth-rank official in the imperial court. Mrs. Li is a woman. She can't escape without a fight."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the servant of the Hu family quickly rented a carriage and rushed back to Shaoyang.

The Hu family was dumbfounded when they heard this, and Hu Shoucai said, "Kill...killed? Why, why is it such a coincidence?"

"Who knows, the younger one was startled when she saw it. Mrs. Li is really cruel, she strangled Mrs. Li to death most of the night."

Hu Shouye asked, "He took both the letter and the money?"

The boy should be.

"800 taels is a waste." Hu Shouye pointed at his younger brother, "It's you, this family will be ruined by you sooner or later. I think one day you will follow Miao Ying's example and kill me."

Hu Shoucai was dissatisfied and said: "Brother, don't talk about it. I think if you don't help, I will definitely be killed by a shrew in the future."

As long as he thought of Su Zhiyin's ferocious appearance, he would tremble with fright, not to mention the love between husband and wife, it would be good if he didn't get beaten to death.

"What are you afraid of?" Hu Shoucai's sister-in-law came in and said with a smile: "She is a little girl, you can marry her if you want, and when she comes in, leave it to me. I have a way to make her docile."

Both Hu Shoucai and Hu Shouye looked at her.

"Don't ask me any more. Since you have to get married, then just hurry up." The sister-in-law said, "I promise the Su family."

Hu Shoucai squatted on the ground with a painful expression on his face.

"Listen to your sister-in-law." Hu Shouye said: "It's just a little girl. Listen to what she said at the county government that day. It can be seen that she has no brains. There is no need to be afraid."

Hu Shoucai was right after thinking about it, nodded and said: "Then don't look for anyone, marry me!"

Damn it, let's see who kills who.

Seven days later, the Hu and Su families made a marriage agreement.

Du Jiuyan was eating at the Deqing Building at this time. After hearing Dong Deqing's words, he said with a smile: "Yu Zhan and Ms. Yang are both talented and beautiful, and they are a perfect couple. Although life is a little bit hard, but the husband and wife are united, and they will definitely get better and better in the future."

"That's the reason. Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, like Ms. Su, even the wealth of Wan Guan's family will be tossed away by her." Dong Deqing said: "Ms. Yang is so considerate and well-behaved, she looks like a good girl."

Yu Zhan and the Yang family reached an agreement, and the dowry of five taels of silver was settled on Yang Qiuniang.

The Ruan family naturally refused. Yang Qiuniang paid 100 taels for the Hu family, but only five taels for the Yu family.Her own daughter also counted on Yang Qiuniang's dowry as a dowry.

Yang Qiuniang hung a white damask at the door of her house, saying that if she disagreed, she would hang herself here. From then on, she would guard the gate and guard the house day and night to protect the family's safety.

Ruan Shi was afraid, but agreed.

Du Jiuyan was in a good mood, and after eating, he took a copy home for his family. He just received a letter from the steward of the Cai family, saying that Fu Qiao had settled down in Liuzhou and had found two very reliable wives. The purchase price was also cheap. When the neighbors heard about Fu Qiao, they all sympathized with him, and gave Fu Qiao all the delicious food and fun.

Fu Qiao's personality has also become much more cheerful, and he has met several children who are about his age. He will be able to enter school next year, even Shu Xiu will be exempted.

Du Jiuyan was very pleasantly surprised, and said to Chen Lang: "This situation is smoother than we thought. There are still many good people in this world."

"Well. Most people are still kind." Chen Lang took out the golden dumplings Du Jiuyan brought back and a few sea cucumbers and warmed them up for the children to eat.

The little radish pouted, it was delicious, "Father, did you pay?"

"No. Grandpa Dong said that the meal will be included in the legal fee." Du Jiuyan said.

Little Radish's eyes lit up, and he ate another dumpling, "It's delicious, and it's even more fragrant."

"Stingy ghost." Du Jiuyan knocked on his head and was about to speak when suddenly a female voice knocked on the door and shouted, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Du's home?"

Hanako ran to open the door.

The door opened, and everyone saw four servant girls and four women standing at the door, surrounded by a woman wearing a veiled hat. The woman was wearing a pair of grape-purple plackets, standing upright at the door.

"This is Mr. Du's house, please come in." Huazi turned her head to look at Du Jiuyan, saw her nodding before talking to the people outside the door.

A group of people came in, and the woman in the middle took off her veil and hat, revealing a woman's face, about forty years old, saluted Du Jiuyan, and said: "Mr. Du, my husband is Guo Ting. Come here, excuse me."

"It's Mrs. Guo." Du Jiuyan made a gesture of invitation, "Please sit down."

Nao'er cleaned up the table, Hanako placed the newly picked chrysanthemums and vases on the table, Chen Lang served tea, Mrs. Guo got up to thank her, glanced at Chen Lang and suddenly frowned and said: "You...you are Chen Huaian, Mr. Chen ?”

"Ma'am, I made a mistake." Chen Lang cupped his hands and said, "Ma'am, take it easy. I'll go to the kitchen to boil water."

Said and left.

Du Jiuyan looked at Mrs. Guo strangely.

　In Mr. Li's case, when I saw the verdict of the county magistrate, I was quite shocked... You guys should be shocked with me too!
　　Judgment: Similar to closing arguments in modern courtrooms.The verdict is written in the judgment book, which is to be handed over to Shangfeng to express the evaluation and attitude of the first-instance officials on the case.

　　Mention prison officials, similar to county magistrates, pushing officials, etc. Whether the judgment is well written is also a manifestation of professional ability.

　　Some county magistrates are straightforward and can directly scold the prisoner in the verdict, some write doggerel, and some are unfocused and messy and get rewritten by Shangfeng.
