Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 192

"Master County Magistrate, this Xia family is just messing around!" Li Shengrong said, "What does my mother-in-law's marriage have to do with plundering and selling people? Is it true that parents marrying a daughter is selling people? My wife and sister are young Xia coaxed him to sign the deed of selling himself, and asked the Elder Master to give his wife and sister justice!"

"That's right, there is no reason in this world for children to sell themselves when their parents are still alive!" Jiang Shouquan also said, "I met this Shopkeeper Xia in Shuanghe Village three days ago, and asked her where her little girl was. The shopkeeper Xia obviously hid the little girl in the store but kept it secret from the old man, if the old man hadn't found it today, I don't know how long the little girl would have been hidden by her, so I ask Master Qingtian to enlighten me!"

County magistrate Chai took a look at Xia Junyan, thinking that this girl is still too young and too impulsive, she just needs to take care of her own shop, why should she meddle in other people's business.But she still gave her a chance: "What else can the Xia family say?"

Xia Junyan's expression was solemn: "Yang Hongli, the rich man of Qingshi Town, has just passed his age. Before he arrives, he is a white civilian. According to the laws of our dynasty, princes employ nine daughters, officials have one wife and two concubines, and scholars have one wife and one concubine." A concubine is a concubine who has a husband and a wife. Ordinary people who are over [-] years old and have no children can take concubines. Those who take concubines privately are liable to forty boards. Yang Hongli has a first wife in his family, two housekeepers, and two under his knees. Having two daughters, no matter their age or heirs, they don't conform to the rules of taking concubines. Yang Hongli has not taken any action to divorce his wife, and Jiang Luoshi keeps saying that he wants to marry a daughter, so how do we marry a daughter like this?"

Jiang Luoshi was dumbfounded: "This...this..."

Li Shengrong immediately said: "My mother-in-law has been a little confused recently. My wife and sister are not married to some rich man Yang, but another butcher named Yang in the town, and they haven't married yet."

"Whether you want to marry rich man Yang, the county magistrate can go to Qingshi Town and invite rich man Yang to come here and ask." Xia Junyan continued, "On March [-] this year, Li Shengrong sold Sister Qiaojie of Shouqiao Village to Yuhong. Xiangge is a prostitute, and selling good is cheap. According to the laws of our dynasty, those who rob people and sell people as slaves will be hanged."

"At that time her father owed me money!! I have an IOU!"

"On March [-]rd, Li Shengrong took people to Qiaojie's house to threaten. All the neighbors can testify. According to the regulations of our dynasty, those who feared to drink and take money from others were also afraid to drink. sixty."

"Fart! I'm going to ask for money openly!"

Xia Junyan ignored him at all, and said again: "Today the Jiang family and Li Shengrong came to Xiaji Food Shop to beg for people. There was no obstruction from the store up to the shopkeeper and down to the clerks, but everyone in the Jiang family took advantage of the chaos to attack the clerks in the store. According to the regulations of our court, those who fight people will be given forty floggings. In addition, because they came in a hurry, the women don't know whether there is any loss of property in the store. According to the regulations of our court, if someone beats someone for other reasons, Therefore, those who take away their property will be counted as robbers, and the specific criminal law will be determined by the county magistrate."

"You...you're making excuses!! What laws, what assaults and plunders, are all nonsense!!" Jiang Luoshi was driven mad by Xia Junyan's mouthful of the laws.

Xia Junyan gave her a white look: "Jiang Luoshi, this is the court, if you are so rude like a shrew, you should be punished as the crime of yelling at the court."
