Chapter 542: A lawsuit can be heard by heaven

"This is strange, Bai Rui moved out to settle in Tianshuifang and reunited with her sister, and the matter of reuniting with her sister was not publicized by gongs and drums all over the capital, how did this Wang Chenan know?"

"We really don't know this, we can't find out so meticulously in a hurry, and we are lucky to find out that it was Wang Chenan who instructed us behind the scenes."

"Now it's the end of the year, the officials are making money every day, how many people come to the door to plead, is it really Zhou Hongshou himself who decided to take Bai Rui to marry Wang Chenan in exchange for a passable score and comment?"

"My Lord Yin, you must be overworked and tired, forgetting that there are four meritorious service judges in the Ministry of Officials, and he Zhou Hongshou is not the master who can pinch and calculate, how does he know which Lang Zhong is in charge of his merit evaluation? Naturally, someone had to report to him first, and then he could reach a deal to exchange Bai Rui for his future. ”

"It seems that they really don't know that Bai Rui has long been a single household." Fu Yin stroked his beard.

"We outsiders really can't figure it out, the Zhou family swept people out of the house at the beginning, but they didn't deal with the household registration, and now they are shy and say that Bai Rui is their daughter-in-law, and they want to take care of others at will.

"There are actually quite a lot of suspicions, Bai Rui's mother and daughter have never returned to the Zhou family since they were swept away, after a few years, the Zhou family knew for the first time that they went to Tianshuifang to find someone, which is also very strange." The master said.

"It's quite strange, how do they know this exact news, it depends on the adults to ask for clarity in the court, and with the testimony in court, it will be more convenient to convict." Li Bo bowed.

Fu Yin exchanged a look with the master, and asked tentatively: "That Wang Chen'an is not staying?" ”

"My lord, Bai Rui is Bai Ko's sister, her sister is bullied, and it is natural for Bai Ko to avenge her sister, but her personal resources are limited, she can only borrow Gu Yun Shizi's manpower, then Shizi knows about it, not to mention that Bai Rui is still his long-term employee, and he can't swallow this breath. And the manpower of the prince suddenly moved, can the father and mother not notice it? The prince only became a Ding last year, and he is still a half-grown son who has not been deeply involved in the world, Zhou Hongshou and Wang Chen'an are both grandparents, half-life officialdom, old treacherous and slippery, if it weren't for Ye Guogong's decisive intervention, our plaintiff's side may not have found out who the Zhou family wants to marry Bai Rui until now, if he is finally let go of this mastermind behind the scenes, won't the plaintiff's hard work for so many days be discounted? ”

"My lord, Lao Li is right, as soon as this lawsuit is fought, everyone in the world knows that the Bai Ko sisters are reunited, and they are all working under Gu Yun Shizi, Bai Rui is a commoner, and she is a widow in her youth, and the people who want to marry her are only afraid that they will line up, if you let go of Wang Chen'an, the mastermind behind the scenes, wouldn't it be the same as the gang we cracked down, the people who are in prison are the younger brothers below, and the boss above will always be able to escape responsibility?" The master added, "What's more, Wang Chen'an, as an official of the ministry, knows the law and violates the law, and the crime will be added to the first, and when the matter of the lawsuit spreads in the capital tomorrow, it is not whether we should open up to him, but that he is already guilty." ”

"Why is the Yeguo Mansion always involved in lawsuits against civil officials." Fu Yin shook his head and looked at Li Bo, "But what else do you need to pay attention to?" ”

"Speaking of which, there are really two people who hope that the adults will show mercy when the time comes. This lawsuit can be fought, thanks to the patter who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, for the sake of his guilt and meritorious service, the adults will open up to him and spare him a few boards. ”

"That's okay, he just accepted the money and promised to do things, but he was intercepted before he entered Tianshuifang, and then he became a witness for your plaintiff, which did not cause big consequences, he should be spared, and as soon as he was punished with a cane, he would be beaten with ten boards, and set an example, so as to encourage more accomplices to wear crimes and make meritorious contributions in the future."

"Thank you, sir, the sentence is appropriate." Uncle Li bowed, "The second person is the little daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, and the complaint paper sued the Zhou family together, but this little daughter-in-law was married to Bai Rui's mother and daughter a few months after they were driven away, and her mother-in-law's bullying of Bai Rui's mother and daughter has nothing to do with her." But now she knew about forcing Bai Rui to remarry Wang Chen'an, and even followed her mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law to Tianshuifang to find Bai Rui, and the two sides had a dispute on the street, and they also made up nonsense to reverse right and wrong, and was finally driven out of Tianshuifang by Wuhou. She should be sentenced for this, but considering that they still have young children in the family, and they can't all become immobile injuries and illnesses, adults may wish to reprimand her and leave her alone to take care of the whole family, which can be regarded as another form of punishment. ”

"Well, that's reasonable, then let that little daughter-in-law go."

"Thank you, sir, for these two things."

"Okay, while Zhou Hongshou hasn't brought it back yet, master, bring the paper, let's take a good look at it, and when Zhou Hongshou comes, give him a day to prepare evidence and defense, and the plaintiff remembers to bring the witness to court tomorrow."

"Yes, sir."

The master came back with the paper at this time, the three of them sat in a circle, Fu Yin unfolded the paper, and asked when he saw any doubts, Li Bo answered clearly, every link was a bunch of witnesses, and what was waiting for the Zhou family was also a catastrophe.

Yingtianfu's soap Li was ordered to Dali Temple to pass on the comment Zhou Hongshou, the former daughter-in-law Bai Rui told her in-laws that the family bought off others in broad daylight to rob the people's daughter and wanted to force them to marry, such amazing gossip, with the Dali Temple's porter all the way to the inside to report the news all the way to Dali Temple all the way to the Dali Temple.

Soap Li was directly led to the front of Dali Siqing, and when he briefly told Siqing about the case, Zhou Hongshou was also summoned to Siqing, and when he saw the adult's face, he shouted wronged.

Dali Temple is the place to review the national case, and it is the evaluation of the trial case, and the statement of the case is well-founded, and the Lord Siqing was already angry, seeing Zhou Hongshou shouting grievances, without saying a word, he called his subordinates to send Zhou Hongshou to Yingtianfu to respond to the lawsuit.

At the same time, the news that Bai Rui sued his former father-in-law Zhou Hongshou and his family also spread from Dali Temple, and the six yamen located in the imperial city were the first to know, and then they went to the palace.

Wang Chen'an, the official department, heard from his colleagues that Bai Rui had sued Zhou Hongshou's family, and his head was twice as big, and his first reaction was that it was difficult to judge whether Zhou Hongshou would confess himself in the court of Yingtian Mansion.

The saint was reviewing the folds in the imperial study at this time, and the little eunuch outside took the opportunity to deliver tea and whispered a few words to Gonggong Xi before retreating.

"What's wrong?" The saint put down the headache and picked up the teacup to moisten his mouth.

"Your Majesty, it's about Bai Ko."

"What happened to the little girl?"

"Bai Rui, the eldest sister of Bai Ko, handed over a letter to Yingtianfu today, accusing her ex-in-law's Zhou Hongshou family of bribing others to rob people's daughters in broad daylight with the intention of forcing her to marry."

"What?! Who is Zhou Hongshou then? ”

"It is the evaluation of the seven products of Dali Temple."

"Dali Temple Commentator knows the law and violates the law? Wait a minute, you just said 'ex-in-law'? The sage put down his teacup and thought for a moment, "Send someone to Yingtianfu, I want to know every detail of this lawsuit." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Father-in-law Xi bent down and saluted, and immediately went out of the imperial study to give an order.
