Genuine:

The spring rain is pouring down on every land in Qinghe County, and the thirsty crops seem to be moistened by ghee, and gradually glow with vigorous vitality.

Heaven and earth were caressed by a pair of gentle hands of the spring breeze, and the message of thawing was known in advance by the magpies in the treetops.

But for Zhang Caogen's family, he has not yet ushered in his spring.

"Are you all ready?" Yang Duanwu sat in the carriage, saw Zhang Caogen and Aunt Zhang coming over, and asked.

Aunt Zhang didn't have an idea, she would only look at Zhang Caogen, and Zhang Caogen nodded: "Ready." ”

Recently, it was the day when the county magistrate handled the case of Zhang Caogen.

Xie Ling wanted to go with them, but Yang Duanwu didn't allow it. Yang Duanwu said that it was just a small lawsuit, and she was familiar with the laws of the Daming Dynasty, so it was easy to deal with it.

Zhang Caogen's case, although it is very simple, also has the difficulties of the case, because this kind of involves a huge officialdom conspiracy, Yang Duanwu does not want her family to get involved, and she does not want her relatives to be hurt in the slightest.

But she doesn't care, and she has to win this lawsuit.

In the past few days, the county magistrate of the town, Ma Qi, is also restless.

Zhang Caogen's case, in fact, he knows very well, Ma Dazheng has already sent someone to greet him, Chen Jiadang should not compensate Zhang Caogen's medical expenses, if the real situation is concerned, of course, he has to compensate. However, he and Ma Dazheng are relatives after all, and they were ruthless last time, but this time the case is very strict, and Ma Dazheng is leading behind the scenes, so it may not be as simple as compensation.

If Ma Dazheng loses power, then Ma Qi's position as the county magistrate will be unstable. For so many years, Ma Qi connived at Ma Dazheng and embezzled a lot of official money in the village, and Ma Qi himself did not embezzle a lot.

But after helping Ma Dazheng, how could Yang Duanwu, such a difficult woman, let him go.

She will definitely report to the prefect.

If only the prefect knew. He's done.

So, neither is the left, nor is the right.

And the Chen family is a relative of the Xie family, and they can't afford to offend. He's just a county magistrate. Although he is majestic in Qinghe County, he is still a small person in the cracks in the officialdom.

With the movement of the Xie family's fingers, they can make the Ma family fall into the sky.

In a dilemma, Mrs. Ma gave him an idea. Let him go and have a face-to-face with the Chen family first, so that no matter what the final outcome of this lawsuit is, the Chen family can't blame them on the Ma family.

Feeling his wife's wisdom, March went to Chen's house and told him about it.

Master Chen was naturally furious, and roared angrily: "Where did the rural village girl come from, dare to go against our Chen family?" Those villagers came to my house to grab rice for no reason, should I still let them bully me? Nature is to deal with them. Do I have to compensate them? What a joke! ”

March echoed, "Yes, yes." You're right. ”

"Don't pay attention to him, let's see what kind of fame a little girl can make." Old Man Chen was disdainful in his eyes.

Ma Qi said: "Master Chen, that's not an ordinary little girl. This Yang Duanwu is not only knowledgeable, can draft papers, proficient in legal codes, and is also very bold, the Lin family in the town even guaranteed her last time. That Miss Lin is her best friend. Lin An's night son, but he was so fascinated by her that he couldn't do it. I said, she is either a god descending into the world, or a demon has been reborn. The entire Qinghe County has been around for hundreds of years. I've never heard of such a person. ”

Master Chen's hand that was drinking tea stopped, "How old are you?" ”

"After the New Year, I was only thirteen years old." March replied.

"Poof!" A sip of tea almost didn't squirt out, and Master Chen's body trembled with laughter.

"Sir, you-" March was stunned, did he say the wrong thing?

Master Chen pointed at Ma Qi and smiled: "What kind of old goblin are you?" It turned out to be a leprechaun. It scared you like that. ”

Ma Qi said: "Oh, you can't underestimate this Yang Duanwu, although she is young, but-"

"But what, could it be that she still cannibalism?" Suddenly, a cool voice came from outside the hall, and when March looked back, a young master dressed as a scholar walked over, saw the tea, and smiled.

Ma Qi was stunned there, not knowing who this young master was, and he didn't dare to call it wrong.

Master Chen greeted with a smile: "Gui Ming, you are back." This is the county master, you can call him Uncle Ma. ”

"Uncle Ma." Chen Guiming saluted gently, but there was contempt for him in his eyes.

It turns out that this is Chen Guiming, speaking of which, Chen Guiming is still the fuse in this grassroots case.

Chen Gongzi was polite. I have heard that Chen Gongzi has a good demeanor for a long time, and when I saw it today, I really responded to the rumors. March hurriedly returned the salute.

Chen Guiming ignored Ma Qi and walked to Master Chen's side, "Daddy, which girl did you talk about just now make Uncle Ma so scared?" ”

"Have you ever heard of Yang Duanwu in Dafenjiao Village?" Master Chen replied.

"Never." Chen Guiming sneered, "It's just a rural village girl, why bother?" ”

Master Chen said with a smile: "Ma Qi said, you should not underestimate her, she is young, and she can also draft a pleading, and she can memorize the law backwards." ”

"If that's the case, then I'd love to meet this girl for a while." Curiosity appeared in Chen Guiming's eyes.

Chen Guiming just wanted to take the exam this time.

The Daming Dynasty is not easy to test, and it needs to be reported by officials at or above the county level, and there is only one place in each county. And the exam has to go to the capital, and the questions are difficult.

However, Chen Guiming is very confident that he will definitely be able to pass the guò exam.

"Gui Ming, you mean, you have to appear in court tomorrow?" Old Man Chen's eyebrows furrowed, "You are my son, this matter is unreasonable by Yang Duanwu and Zhang Caogen, you went, but you took it lightly." ”

"Daddy, it's okay, the result is definitely that we win anyway. I've practiced in the past, and I'm really a master in the future, so it's better to start faster. Chen Guiming was resolute, "And there are not many women who understand the law, but Yang Duanwu does, she has greatly attracted my curiosity." ”

Master Chen knew that Chen Guiming had learned to be as lustful as him, and said with a smile: "If you want to play, just play, but one day you have to remember, don't let your mother know, otherwise your mother will scold you again." ”

"Got it, Daddy." Chen Guiming responded.

Trial.

Spring flowers are blooming, and Qinghe County has a splendid sunny day.

Yang Duanwu and Zhang Caogen stood on the yamen court, and Aunt Zhang waited outside the court, of course. There were also a lot of people at the gate of the yamen to watch the excitement.

At this time, the court sessions are open to the public. The Ming Dynasty stipulated that as long as it was a case of the common people, it would be open to the outside world and everyone in the world could hear it. Otherwise. The judgment is null and void.

This regulation is very enlightened, and it is a law set by the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It has been passed down for several generations, and no one dares to change it, because whoever changes is the culprit who wants to be the culprit who can overturn the boat.

March sat on top. The gaze was disdainful, and although the time had come, it still did not start.

Zhang Caogen asked, and March said lazily that there was still one person who had not arrived.

And then the man March was talking about, and he came.

When Yang Duanwu saw that the man was handsome, gorgeously dressed, and wore a scholar's hat on his head, he knew that he was dressed up as a showman.

"This is the son of the Chen family, Chen Guiming." March introduced. "Now that everyone is together, it's time to start."

"He is Chen Guiming, who came to the village to distribute crystal cakes?" Zhang Caogen is angry, if Chen Guiming hadn't come to the village, what would have happened later!

Tightly, clenched into fists.

"Don't be like this, Brother Zhang, we're here to fight, not to fight." Yang Duanwu stopped Zhang Caogen's impulse.

Zhang Caogen stopped stepping forward.

"A big man listens to a little girl, but it is as if he listens to his mother. You're not ashamed, I'm still disgusted. If I were you, I would have died headfirst. "Chen Guiming is actually a man with a poisonous tongue!

Zhang Caogen gritted his teeth in anger, but. Yang Duanwu asked him not to be impulsive, and he really quieted down.

"Is it possible that in the yamen, can you still verbally insult the common people?" Yang Duanwu sneered and said to Ma Qi, "Please ask the county master to evaluate for us." We came to the yamen to complain, do we still have to be insulted by Brother Gongzi for no reason? ”

The sound was loud. The people who came to see the excitement at the door heard it.

The county magistrate looked at Chen Guiming, the smile on Chen Guiming's face had faded, so he waved his hand and immediately changed the topic, "Zhang Caogen, what grievances do you have, come quickly." ”

Yang Duanwu responded: "Since I have opened a certificate in the village and sued this case on behalf of the Zhang family, it seems that something is wrong for the adults to bypass me so much and ask Zhang Caogen directly." ”

The county magistrate was dumbfounded, "Okay, this official allows you to say it." ”

"It's all written on the paper, didn't you read it? The whole Qinghe County knows what we are going to sue, don't you, the most sympathetic adult in this county, know it? "Hmph, the county master is obviously helping Chen Guiming, and Yang Duanwu is not something he can pinch if he wants.

Ma Qi held back his anger and said, "This official has already seen it, and he knows what you want to sue." But I still hope you can say it again. ”

Yang Duanwu then spoke briefly, then looked at Chen Guiming and said: "Now we are going to sue Ma Dazheng, and we want the Chen family and Ma Dazheng to jointly compensate Zhang Caogen for all his medical expenses." ”

"What a joke. The girl thought that if you said you wanted to pay, you would have to pay it. Chen Guiming finally couldn't help but speak, "Zhang Caogen brought people to my house to grab rice, my family is in legitimate defense, could it be said that there is a thief at home, shouldn't we stop him from stealing things?" As for him, he was seriously injured, but our Chen family also lost a lot of rice. We are only justified in self-defense, and the law says that anyone who breaks into a private house and fights with force, and the trespasser is injured because he wants to harm the interests of the people in the house, there is no compensation and punishment. Now, our family didn't sue Zhang Caogen for stealing rice, but Zhang Caogen came to sue us, didn't it make all the thieves in the world go on the right path? ”

Yang Duanwu admired this argument very loudly, citing scriptures and classics, and he deserved to be a candidate for the future teacher, and he really relied on real talent to learn.

"Yang Duanwu, what else do you have to say?" Ma Qi was very happy with Chen Guiming's performance just now, and thought to himself that Yang Duanwu was still a chess game after all.

"Then please ask Chen Gongzi to report the amount of rice lost that day." Yang Duanwu smiled faintly, "Also, I found out that the day before Zhang Caogen came to Chen's rice shop, Master Chen received a letter, which said that the next day, Zhang Caogen would come to grab rice, and asked you to get ready." How can this be explained? ”

"You talk nonsense." Chen Guiming was shocked, how could Yang Duanwu know about this?

On that day, he was the only one who received Ma Dazheng's letter except for Master Chen.

"I've found human and physical evidence. Could it be that Chen Gongzi doesn't want to admit it, and wants to wait for my witness to come and make a fool of himself? ”

The house was in an uproar. Even Zhang Caogen felt strange, did Yang Duanwu really find evidence?

The calm and calm expression of the Dragon Boat Festival made Chen Guiming stunned, a girl who was only thirteen years old, if she was telling a lie, how could it be so realistic?

No, she must be telling the truth.

Chen Guiming didn't want to wait for the witnesses to be exposed, so he admitted with a smile: "Yes, I received that letter, and it is credible that it is just a reminder from Ma Dazheng, and it does not prove anything." ”

"You admit that before Zhang Caogen came to your store, you received a letter from Ma Dazheng, and the letter mentioned that Zhang Caogen was going to come to your house to grab rice the next day, right?" Yang Duanwu asked again.

"Yes." Chen Guiming didn't know that he had secretly walked into the trap under Yang Duanwu.

"Everyone has heard it, this is Chen Gongzi himself admitted. County master, you also heard it. ”

Ma Qi didn't know what Yang Duanwu had in mind, so he responded: "What if you hear it?" ”

Yang Duanwu smiled lightly: "I can also prove that Zhang Caogen went to Chen's house that day, and before he grabbed rice, the Chen family's thugs came out to beat him and crippled him." ”

Chen Guiming hurriedly denied: "It's not like this, when Zhang Caogen came to my house that day and started to move rice, our thugs came out to clean him up." ”

"Is that really the case?"

"Of course it is." Chen Guiming nodded.

Yang Duanwu looked at the county master with a smile: "Isn't this case still unclear?" ”

Ma Qi regretted letting Chen Guiming come out, after all, he was too young, and no matter how he understood the law, he was not the opponent of Yang Duanwu, who was well versed in the hearts of the people.

"What?" Chen Guiming suddenly understood something, God, how could he admit everything?

"Since Zhang Caogen has not yet made a move, the Chen family's thugs have come out, and the Chen family has made preparations in advance, so the injuries caused by the Chen family to Zhang Caogen are not legitimate defense at all. The Chen family should compensate Zhang Caogen for his medical expenses. Yang Duanwu finally concluded.

The people outside applauded, and in the crowd, there stood two men with peerless elegance, both wearing low-brimmed hats, and their faces could not be seen.

They are Lin Anye and Li Yuanbao. This time, they also heard that Yang Duanwu was going to sue for Zhang Caogen, why didn't they come to see it. "You-" Chen Guiming didn't expect to lose, so he gritted his teeth in anger, "Hmph, don't you just want medical expenses?" Will our Chen family be short of money? Good for you. ”

The county magistrate had no choice but to announce that it was Yang Duanwu who won the lawsuit.

Everyone was preparing to close the case, but Yang Duanwu said, "What is Master Ma doing in such a hurry?" Is it because of the weakness of the heart? This case is not over yet. (To be continued.) )
