Chapter 209: The county government redresses grievances
Bai Ruozhu didn't expect to be expelled as soon as he came to the door, is this Dr. Fu so skilled in medicine?
"We didn't go to Dr. Fu to see a doctor, but I have a relative who was treated by Dr. Fu six or seven years ago, and asked us to come to see Dr. Fu when we came to the town and then help her thank her. Bai Ruozhu said with a smile on his face.
"The old man is not in good health, he has rested, you can come back tomorrow. After saying that, the woman closed the door directly, and refused to let the two of them in, which was too direct, right?
The brother and sister looked at the closed door and looked at each other helplessly, it seemed that they could only wait for tomorrow.
But Bai Ruozhu decided to go according to the plan, and tomorrow she had to go to the yamen to beat the drum and voice the grievances, otherwise if the old man took the Wang family to find the door first, they would seem to be holding a grudge and revenge when they went to the yamen again.
After returning home, the others were also very surprised to hear that Dr. Fu lived next door, but they were also very helpless to hear that Dr. Fu was not a guest.
"Mother, tomorrow you can inquire with the nearby neighbors and ask about Dr. Fu's situation. Bai Ruozhu said to Lin Ping'er.
"Okay, tomorrow morning, my mother will walk around. Lin Ping'er nodded, women are very familiar with this kind of thing.
The family went to bed early because there was still a tough battle to be fought the next day.
Early the next morning, the family got up and had a hurried meal, Bai Ruozhu went to the county government with Bai Zepei, saying that it was drumming and complaining, but because Bai Zepei knew the county lord, where did he need to be so complicated, Bai Zepei handed over a post, and the two met with Lord Li and explained the matter clearly.
It's just that Bai Ruozhu is not sure about a little, and on the way she asked the second brother: "Do you say that we want to explain the truth to Master Li? Or just sue Mrs. Niu for blackmail, frame the eldest uncle, and then wait for someone to arrest and pull the eldest aunt out?"
Bai Zepei didn't speak for a long time, and seemed to think about it carefully, "Needless to say, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and there are too many things in it that cannot be explained clearly for a while." ”
Bai Ruozhu nodded, too, most people say that nurturing grace is greater than giving birth, I don't know that the Wang family abuses their children, and they also think that they have raised Shiro for six years, and they have more or less feelings, but they are the ones who destroy the harmony of other families.
When the two arrived at the Yamen, it happened to be Wang Minglu on an errand, and when they saw Bai Ruozhu, their eyes lit up, and they came up and asked, "Brother Zehao, Sister Ruozhu, why are you here?"
Bai Ruozhu had a very good impression of this honest and simple second brother of the Wang family, and replied to him with a sincere smile, "Brother Minglu, let's come to the adults to redress their grievances." ”
Wang Minglu was taken aback, "What's the matter? It's not your old house bullying you again, right?" He asked, his face was already dyed with anger, but after asking, he found that he was reckless, it was a family matter, how could people sue the court? Even if they really want to sue, they should find the patriarch to sue.
"No, someone blackmailed us for some money, and you'll know when we go to court. Bai Ruozhu was afraid that there would not be enough time, so he didn't want to talk to him more, so he said goodbye to him, turned around and entered the yamen.
Wang Minglu thought that Bai Ruozhu couldn't trust him, and felt that he couldn't help much, so he stood in place and lost his mind. Bai Zepei turned his head to look at him, and shook his head helplessly, his little sister is really too dull in the affairs of men and women, but she is so smart on weekdays, such a man can't control her.
The two of them met Master Li after passing the word, and Master Li was even more enthusiastic about Bai Zepei at the moment, and asked with a smile: "Why did Brother Bai Xian come so early, didn't he want to beat the drum to complain?"
"I really have grievances to report, but I wasn't there yesterday, so let's let my sister tell everyone. Bai Zepei said after bowing to Lord Li.
Master Li frowned, "Who dares to bully the head of the virtuous brother, the white girl is coming quickly." ”
Bai Ruozhu blessed Master Li, and then spoke clearly.
"Yesterday, my father was pushing a cart in the market, and accidentally hit a mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law said that the injury was serious, and my father was an honest man, so he promised to pay her money, but he didn't have much money on him at that time, so he said that he would send it to his mother-in-law's house. In the afternoon, we closed the stall early and went to Lin'an Village to find the cow woman, and said that she wanted to see her, but she refused to live or die. ”
Bai Ruozhu said and frowned, "My family has set up a stall in the town recently, and it happened that the mother-in-law came to our stall, so I became suspicious, seeing that she seemed to have followed my eldest aunt, we suspected that she was not a good person." As a result, after cross-examination, she changed her words and said that she knew my eldest aunt, and said that she knew the secrets related to our Bai family. ”
"Oh?" Master Li was interested, he had thought it was just a simple civil dispute, but it sounded like something big was involved.
Bai Ruozhu continued: "She said that she delivered my eldest aunt six years ago, and also said that my eldest aunt was stillborn back then, and the current child was exchanged from her. We were all shocked at the time, and she said that there was a doctor from Fushoutang who helped my aunt hide the stillbirth. Later, let's give her some hush money, otherwise we'll spread the word out. ”
"My grandfather and grandmother are old, and my father and mother are afraid that they will be angry with the old man, and what the cow woman said is reasonable, so I believed it for a while and gave her two taels of silver. Bai Zepei added beside him, "But when I think about it when I go home, I feel that something is wrong, when my eldest aunt gave birth to a child, my mother was also watching, how can there be a fake?"
Bai Ruozhu chimed in beside him, "Yes, and that Fushoutang has a very good reputation, how can there be a doctor who helps people cheat? That's why we found out that we had been deceived." She said, with a look of chagrin on her face.
"The matter of silver is small, but the reputation of the Bai family is big, and this kind of person who is untrustworthy must not be tolerated, so my father and mother asked me to ask an adult to help redress grievances. Bai Zepei said.
The brother and sister quickly made things clear, and Master Li slapped the table when he listened, "And such a bold Diao woman? That official must interrogate her well, lest she harm others in the future." ”
"My lord is wise!" Bai Ruozhu patted Master Li at the right time.
Lord Li immediately called the official to go to Lin'an Village to get people, and it was a coincidence that it was Wang Luji and Wang Minglu who were sent, and when the two heard that it was the Bai family's business, they were very attentive, and rushed to Lin'an Village with the soles of their feet quickly.
While waiting, Lord Li invited the two to tea, and after a while, Jiang Yichun, who was wearing a mask, walked in, looking very casual, and there was no need to communicate with Lord Li at all.
"My lord, why are you here?Do you want to sit down and have a cup of tea?" Lord Li hurriedly got up and saluted Jiang Yichun, and Bai Zepei and Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to get up and salute as well.
Jiang Yichun hummed coldly, then sat down by himself, and said, "By the way, bring me the booklet of the recent trial of prisoners." ”
"Yes, I'll go get it. After Master Li finished speaking, he walked away, but Jiang Yichun suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Ruozhu, his eyes were a little scary, as if he could see the depths of people's hearts.
