Now that the countermeasures have been discussed, after the meal, everyone can go their separate ways. Because most of the Li family were injured, the Su family called Aunt Zhou and Aunt Huang over to discuss together.

Before leaving, Li Xiaonuan declared: "Third uncle, two aunts, Xiaonuan thank you first." What you are going to do, and tell everyone with great fanfare, don't be afraid of people knowing. We just want those people to know that even if we want to buy people's hearts, we will buy them openly and fairly. ”

Aunt Zhou's mind was more bright, and she understood almost immediately: "Ouch, let's Xiaonuan see far away." It's time to make the matter of buying people's hearts public, and save others from making a fuss about it. There are those who hold on, and we can also argue without shortness of breath. ”

Seeing that the big guy finally understood what he meant, Li Xiaonuan smiled knowingly: "The two aunts and the third uncle don't expect this to be done, after all, most people are greedy." Our family is not a rich family, if you can't do it within fifty taels, then come back directly. ”

Xiao Yang said with a smile on the side: "There are always more kind-hearted people, even if you can't agree on the spot, you will stand up to help later." As for those who do bad things, they will also lose their reputation and face in this matter, and the end will definitely not be good. ”

Because they found a solution, everyone was relaxed, and after listening to Xiaoyang's words, they all smiled. knew that there would definitely be a summoned official messenger to the door today, so Xiao Yang, the only one who could hold up the scene, did not participate in the plan.

The third uncle took Aunt Huang and Uncle Huang to find the families of the two daughters-in-law who died of torture. Aunt Zhou and her eldest son went to the matchmaker's house first.

After this incident, Li Xiaonuan felt more and more that he had to repay the Zhou and Huang families. Of course, Granny Yu is already filial to her grandmother. Come to think of it, their family is also quite sad. Obviously, there are pro-elders, but they can only find family affection from non-pro-elders.

On a summer afternoon, people are tired. The chirping of cicadas one after another makes people drowsy. It was also at this time that the two officials came to Li Xiaonuan's house. One of the people who came was from the village, and as soon as he entered the door, his aunt Uncle Li called open. After being invited into the house and sitting down, and after serving tea, the messengers from the same village talked about business.

"That's right, there is a family surnamed Li in Niushan County, who took the marriage book with Xiao Nuan's sister, and went to the yamen to sue your family. This is a summons document, please read it carefully and then put it away. Remember to be on time for the trial tomorrow. ”

Father Li shook his hands and took the summons document and read it carefully with anger. Fortunately, in the past few days of recuperation, Dad Li has been following Li Xiaonuan to study the Tao Te Ching, so he can also recognize all the words on the official documents.

On top of the official documents, the Li family's statement was as wonderful as a big drama, and the false matter of Li Xiaonuan's family concealing the marriage fraud was said to be a sure fact. Even how much dowry money the Su family took with their family when they were married, and who the witness was, they all explained clearly.

After Xiaoyang took the official document, he couldn't help but laugh sarcastically: "Yo, I'm really lying with my eyes closed, I'm not afraid of the official master." This person's witness, I'm afraid I've never seen my mother in my life. Look, the day before yesterday, my mother and I were still fertilizing in the ground, and everyone in the same village can testify to this. ”

Hearing Xiaoyang say this, Su Shi asked, "Why did you talk about me, what is written on it?" ”

Xiaoyang replied easily: "Mother, this official document says that you set up a sister's relationship with the Li family in Laren Village the day before yesterday, and also accepted a gift of twenty taels of silver from their family, and a white jade bracelet that has been passed down from ancestors for ten generations. He also said that the bracelet was worth ten thousand taels of silver. ”

Su Shi didn't do anything when he heard this: "The day before yesterday, I was still spreading fertilizer for beans in the field with you, and many villagers who were in the wasteland could testify." How could I go to Laren Village to marry your sister? Liangzi, your father and mother were also clearing the wasteland over there that day, and they can all testify for me. ”

Seeing that the Su family was a little excited, the village official who called Liangzi hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, auntie, we don't just believe what the family says." No, my lord, let us talk to you, and let you just talk back to the church tomorrow. Don't worry, auntie, our adults have bright eyes and hearts, and we will definitely not wronged you. ”

This is true. Because King Jing had spoken before, he asked the officials of the city to take care of the Li family. So from the prefect to the prefect, all of them are trying to find a way to have a good relationship with the Li family. After all, to be favored by the prince, there must be something outstanding.

"Liangzi, don't tease your aunt. That's the right thing. Daddy Li was skeptical.

Liangzi laughed, waved his hand happily, and said, "Look at what Uncle Li said, we are such indiscriminate people." The county magistrate really explained to us, so that you can rest assured. I thought, "My lord wants to use this to justify your family." ”

Another official, who had been silent, also nodded yes and said, "Because of the previous case of Miss Li's rumors, many people are dissatisfied with the adult's punishment. The adults wanted to take this opportunity to extinguish the resentment of those people. ”

Since the two officials said so, there would definitely not be much trouble in this matter. I'm afraid that something will go wrong on the old lady's side, and even if Li Xiaonuan and her family take care of it, they will be bound by filial piety.

"Now that the word has arrived, let's go back on an errand. Auntie, Uncle Li, you remember to go to the yamen tomorrow to wait for trial. Seeing that Father Li and the others had read the official document, the two officials got up and said goodbye.

Xiao Yang sent the two of them outside the door and stuffed each of them with a tael of silver. The two of them shirked at first, but they couldn't bear Xiaoyang's ability to speak. In the end, the two reluctantly accepted Xiaoyang's reward and happily returned to the yamen.

That night, only Aunt Zhou came back with his son. Not surprisingly, the matchmaker did not agree to come out and accuse the Li family of deliberately asking her to find the Li family. However, the neighbor who had the good deed took the money and said that he knew the man who had come to the matchmaker. He is also willing to testify in court.

As for the third uncle, they may not be able to come back tomorrow. Because Niushan County is a bit far away, and you have to talk to someone, it takes a long time. But after reading the official document, Li Xiaonuan and their hearts settled down a lot.

Early the next morning, Xiaoyang drove the family into the city in a carriage borrowed from Uncle Liang's house. At the end of the day, the county lord ascended to the church. Su Shi helped Li Xiaonuan and knelt down under the lobby behind Li's father and son.

The people of the Li family also came, in addition to the mother and son who came to hire that day, there were two more men and a daughter-in-law. The two families knelt on their left and right, waiting for the county magistrate to speak.

The killing rod slammed into the floor, and after a long "mighty" from the officials on both sides, the startling wood rang out. The county magistrate spoke majestically.

"Who is in the hall, and what are you doing here today?"

The plaintiff was the first to speak: "The Li family of the people's grocery store in Niushan County sued the Li family in Xinzhou Village, Fucheng for concealing and cheating on marriage, and the pleadings are here. "This is the eldest son of the Li family.

The pleadings were submitted, and the master motioned for Li Xiaonuan to reply to them.

Father Li took the people of the Li family to buckle his head again, and said loudly: "Li Dacai, the head of the Li family in Xinzhou Village, leads the whole family to wait for trial here. ”

The sound of alarm sounded again, and the trial officially began.
