Chapter 121 Trial of the case
"Master Wang, your son unfortunately died, do you plan to let my daughter be alone and widowed for the rest of her life?"
"That is, if my sister has an heir for your Wang family, and stays in the past that your Wang family still said, and now she has no heirs to support, how can she not remarry? Besides, my father also said that he will take care of you for the rest of your life. ”
"Hmph, I think that although my Wang family is not a famous family, they are also the children of saints. When I enter the door of my royal family, they are all loyal and observant people, if I remarry someone else, how can I save the face of my royal family?
"Exactly, although the eldest brother is not here, I can also take care of the second elder. If my sister-in-law remarries, my Wang family will lose face, why should my Wang family gain a foothold in Dongping County, this matter is not discussed. ”
"It's too much..."
"If you can't say no, you can't..."
Yuan Chang and the others listened outside for a long time, and gradually understood what was going on.
The two sides of the quarrel are in-laws, and the woman Yu Shan is the daughter of Yu Hai, a well-known porcelain master in Dongping County. After marrying the scholar Wang Tong, Wang Tong's father Wang De is also a famous old master in all directions, and he is also a celebrity in Dongping County.
Although Yu Hai is not a scholar, but now Shinong Industry and Commerce, as a craftsman, Yu Hai's status will not be worse than that of a businessman, and Yu Hai's reputation is not bad, and there is naturally no one to obstruct the two sides to form a family. However, Wang De's son Wang Tong is estimated to be short-lived, and he died of illness after only one month of marriage, and Yu Shan is now just a twenty-eight-year-old woman, if she stays in the Wang family all her life and has no heirs, how miserable the future will be is obviously foreseeable.
Therefore, Yu Hai wanted his daughter to remarry so as not to live a lonely life in the future. Moreover, Yu Hai also promised to take care of Wang De for the rest of his daughter's life.
However, Wang De considered himself a saint's son and had a stubborn personality, so he resolutely disagreed with remarriage, thinking that Yu Shan's remarriage would make his Wang family lose face. The dispute lasted for a long time, because the previous county order was killed by the Yellow Turban thieves, and the persuasion of Li Zheng and the village elders could not be resolved. Therefore, the day after Yuan Chang took office, they came to the county government to ask Yuan Chang to come forward.
And now the people gathered outside the county government are naturally relatives and friends of both sides, if it is not handled properly, it will cause great contradictions between the two families, and it is possible to beat each other on the street.
In fact, although Confucianism is orthodox now, it does not have so many constraints, after all, Cheng Zhu Lixue has not yet appeared, and remarriage is not a big deal. Otherwise, Liu Bei made Wu Yi's sister the queen at that time, and Zhuge Liang, a Confucian disciple, would have jumped out to oppose it a long time ago. You must know that this Wu Yi's sister first married Liu Yan's son Liu Mao, and then Liu Mao died before remarrying Liu Bei. The queen can be a remarried person, so it can be seen that remarriage is not a big deal.
It's just that when you encounter a stubborn person like Wang De, you can only cry out in vain.
"What is the intention of arguing so much in front of the county yamen?" He Yao, the county lieutenant, didn't know when he appeared, loudly scolded the two sides who were scolding each other, glared at Wang De's side, and mocked: "Isn't it insulting for you to claim to be a disciple of a saint and quarrel in front of the public." ”
He Yao scolded extremely hard, you must know that there are many opportunities like this.
Although Wang De is just a scholar who is not in the stream, his identity as a scholar puts him in a very high position. From the ranking of "Shinong Industry and Commerce", we can see what kind of status "Shi" has. If someone tries to stir up the interests of the "scholars", then he will face the attack of all the "scholars" in the world, and that is an extremely astonishing force. Nowadays, most of the people who are all over the court are from "scholars", and a very few are the children of poor families.
Therefore, don't look at Wang De's lack of official position, but his status is not low. If it weren't for today's reason, and He Yao himself was a county lieutenant, how could he dare to offend Wang De, who was a scholar, it would be like an old birthday star hanging himself - looking for death.
"The county magistrate is here, and you won't get out of the way. ”
He Yao pretended to sweep it, as if he had just discovered Yuan Chang, and shouted very majestically, and then greeted Yuan Chang with a smile on his face.
Yuan Chang secretly sneered in his heart, He Yao had already seen Yuan Chang just now, but he deliberately pretended not to see it, and then stood up to show his majesty, intending to show his majesty in front of Yuan Chang, the newly appointed county commander. Of course, on the other hand, he also wanted Yuan Chang to see his ability so that he could be reused.
"Lord Prefectural, you must be the master of the little girl..."
"Lord County Commander, the Wang family is a saint in vain, without any benevolence and righteousness, regardless of my sister's happiness, only caring about his own family..."
"Lord County Commander, my Wang family is a loyal and observant family, if I let him remarry, my Wang family will lose face. If the adults don't make decisions for the small people, I, Wang De, can only die to thank my ancestors..."
"Lord Prefectural Order..."
"Drink!"
When everyone was scrambling around Yuan Chang to speak, suddenly a loud cheer sounded, and I saw Dian Wei beside Yuan Chang with angry eyes and swept over everyone fiercely. Some timid people were so frightened by Dian Wei's shouts and stares that their feet trembled, and they almost fell to their knees.
Dian Wei knew that his performance yesterday made Yuan Chang dissatisfied, so he was the first to jump out at this moment in order to make up for yesterday's mistakes. Then, seeing Yuan Chang's satisfied look, Dian Wei knew that he had done the right thing, and it seemed that the wine was promising.
"Waiting so around the adults is not a bad intention. ”
After Dian Wei, He Yao also ran to Yuan Chang in three steps and two steps, and looked at everyone with a little intimidation. Seeing everyone's submissive looks, He Yao was extremely complacent in his heart, being a county lieutenant was really more majestic than being a small servant, and his efforts were not in vain.
Hearing He Yao's words, everyone felt that it was a bit rude to surround Yuan Chang like this, and they retreated to both sides to make way for the county commander.
Yuan Chang glanced at He Yao, didn't say anything, and walked straight towards the county office. Guo Jia, the master, naturally followed along, and Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Han Sui, who were the guards, followed closely.
After the three drums of the hall servants, the third class of officials wearing soaphorn suits stood on both sides with water and fire sticks, while Yuan Chang wore a long robe, wore a virtuous crown on his head, and was followed by Guo Jia, a dog-headed master in a white shirt. As the guards, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Han Sui were separated, protecting Yuan Chang and Guo Jia exquisitely, and anyone who was unfavorable to Yuan Chang would definitely not be able to avoid the attacks of the three.
Before the Tang Dynasty, the clothing of county officials was not uniform, and most of them were robes, as long as they did not lose the face of the court. Besides, if there is chaos today, don't say that the state Taishou will be changed at any time, and no one will care about the county order. is like that Pang Tong, who became a county magistrate, only cares about drinking and playing every day, and is sloppy, if someone doesn't report it, who will care about him?
Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty and mostly followed the Qin system, and only officials above the third rank needed to wear green robes and deep clothes when they were in the last dynasty.
Before the great change in clothing in the Tang Dynasty, if you want to know the other party's official rank, you can know it by looking at the crown on the other party's head. For example, Yuan Chang at this time is Dai Yiliang Jinxian crown.
"Ascension!"
Yuan Chang was shocked, and under the imposing "might-martial" sound of the officials, the quarrelsome Yu family and the Wang family were brought to the front of the hall. At this moment, it was within the county office, and the relatives and friends who were helping on both sides naturally could not be present, so there were only five people in front of Yuan Chang in front of him.
They are Yu Hai, Yu Shan and Yu Shan's younger brother Yu Fu, and on the other side are naturally Wang De of the Wang family and his second son Wang Da.
Although Yuan Chang already understood what was going on when he was outside the county office, but at this moment, he had to let the two sides tell it again, and the cases that caused the county government were recorded by special officials, and if the matter was strict, it would be conveyed to the Taishou and even the imperial court. Just like Yuan Chang traveled back to the pre-era era, there were special people in the court to record the case on the computer.
When the Yu family and the Wang family finished talking about the matter, everyone looked at Yuan Chang in the center of the Tang Dynasty.
The matter of the Yu family and the Wang family is the first case of Yuan Changdang's county order, how well he handles it will affect the people's opinion of him in Dongping County, at this moment, outside the county government, countless eyes are staring at him, thinking that it will not be long before this result will spread throughout Dongping County.
So, how will Yuan Chang solve this problem?
