Qu Zhixian was shocked and shouted: "The defendant, please state the reason!" ”

This burst of drinking made the three brothers standing in the hall startled, a poor family, who has the money to hire a lawyer?

After the mediation failed, he automatically helped the two old men write a complaint, and now they are acting as a pleading, which is free of charge, and the three sons have to pay for themselves if they want to ask for a pleading, and if they don't ask for a pleading, they have to respond to the lawsuit in person.

Where has the eldest son seen this kind of formation? Hurriedly trembling and said: "It is the responsibility of the son to support the elderly, but all the affairs of the family are the daughter-in-law's decision, even if I agree, it has no effect, it doesn't count!" ”

Seeing this, Qu Zhixian shouted loudly: "Please state the reasons for the second defendant, I am the same as my eldest brother, my daughter-in-law covers the sky with one hand, even if I promise to give alimony, it is equivalent to farting!" ”

"That's good! The Yacha immediately went to summon He, and Chen went to court to respond to the lawsuit and state the reason! Qu Zhixian said.

At this time, the two yacha took the Hedong lion and the flying chicken out of the side room of the lobby and made them kneel on the lobby. Supporting the elderly is the responsibility of every child, you two dare to hinder your husband's filial piety, the law does not tolerate it, first hit the thirty boards, and then punish according to the law! ”

At this time, the Hedong lion didn't dare to roar, and the flying chicken didn't dare to arrest people, knelt on the ground, was verbose, knocked his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "The women know that they are wrong, ask the adults to be kind, we are willing to support the elderly!" ”

Qu Zhixian said majestically: "Then are you willing to obey the judgment of this county?" ”

When the three men heard this, they also knelt down and expressed their willingness, and Qu Zhixian said loudly: "Zhao Fu, He Dongxian, Zhao Lu, and Chen Xiaozhen, two couples, each give the two old men fifty catties of rice and three taels of silver every month, Zhao Shou is sentenced to live with his parents for a long time due to inconvenience in his legs and feet, take care of the living and eating of the two old people, and shall not be abandoned halfway, if there is a violation, the responsibility shall be borne by himself, and this judgment will take effect immediately!" ”

The clerk handed them the three judgments, drew them and then took them back to the deposit, and then they stood up, and the mediator saw it and sighed: "If you were willing to accept my mediation, would you have the embarrassing scene today?" It not only affects family affection, but also is ridiculed by others, the so-called good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles! ”

Qu Zhixian said: "Your thirty sticks and cane punishments, remember first, if there is any violation in the future, you will sue the yamen again, and you will not be spared, and you will withdraw from the court now!" ”

Zhong Xun thought that these women would pass the buck to each other in the hall and refuse to bear the responsibility, who knew that they were paper tigers, only worthy of scaring people, too! Where have the country women seen the world? When you see an official, it's no wonder if you're not scared half to death?

Back at the inn, Zhong Xun pressed and said, "Young Master Fang! Tomorrow morning, let's enter the county office, the unannounced visit is over, and the open investigation will begin, let's do it in reverse order! ”

Fang Lei asked, "Lord Zhong! Shall we notify Qu Zhi County in advance and let him stand in front of the gate with the county officials, big and small, to greet our group? ”

"We are patrolling, and we are not new officials, what kind of prestige are we playing? Besides, I'm a person who doesn't like to be lively, that kind of officialdom etiquette, annoying to death! Zhong Xun said.

Fang Lei said with a smile: "This is exactly what I like, I am also asking for the opinions of adults, otherwise you will say that I, the entourage, do not know the height of the sky and the depths, and monopolize power!" ”

"Alright! Let's rest early and stay in the best spirits tomorrow, this is just the first stop! Zhong Xun said.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhong Xun finished dressing and led the group to the gate of the county office, Fang Lei said: "Lord Zhong! Wait for me to report first, at least let the magistrate come out to greet him, this politeness should be! ”

"Then you'll go in first, won't you? Don't talk for too long, it will make our legs and feet sore! Zhong Xun said.

Fang Lei hurriedly said: "Zhong Xun hunts according to the day patrol, who dares to slack off?" ”

"It's good to know! Why don't you hurry in? Zhong Xun said with a smile.

Fang Lei had been here and knew about Qu Zhixian's office, he crashed into it, and hurriedly said: "Lord Zhixian, hurry up with the junior to greet the Patrol Lord, he is waiting in front of the yamen with a group of entourage!" ”

Qu Zhixian asked in surprise: "Young Master Fang! How did you find out about this? ”

"The junior was named his entourage, and Deputy Mayor Zhang, Feng Zhutou and the three catchers became his entourage, we arrived at the county seat yesterday and stayed at the Chengxi Inn at night!" Fang Lei said.

Qu Zhixian said: "Then why don't you come and tell the old man to prepare to meet him and wash the dust for him?" ”

"Zhong Xun has already instructed me to pay a private visit and sneak into the city, not to alarm anyone, as an entourage, do I dare to go against his will?" Fang Lei said.

Qu Zhixian said: "You have a point, he trusts you so much, so what can you do such a thing?" ”

"That's it! Holding two families in one hand, your old man has to listen, and Zhong Xun has to listen to his words! Fang Lei said.

Qu Zhixian tidied up the official uniform, walked out with Fang Lei, and said: "I don't know if the inspector is here, the lower officials have missed the distance, I hope the adults will forgive their sins!" ”

"Those who don't know are not guilty, and Quzhi County doesn't know when this patrol envoy will arrive, what is the crime?" Zhong Xun said calmly.

Qu Zhixian said: "My father-in-law wrote as soon as possible, praising Zhong Xun's talent, and telling him to come to this county in the day, and he must be well entertained, saying that the adult is also the young man he values the most, and the future is immeasurable, and the father-in-law is also thirsty for love!" ”

When he spoke, he hurriedly led the group into the living room, let Zhong Xun sit in the guest seat, and instructed his subordinates to make tea and warmly entertain him, Fang Lei explained: "Lord Zhong originally wanted to inspect the counties near Duanzhou first, but just because he returned to his hometown with his wife, our Qingshan County became the first stop of the inspection!" ”

Qu Zhixian asked: "Mrs. Zhong Xunzhi turned out to be from Taohua Town, Qingshan County?" ”

"Not only is my wife from Peach Blossom Town, but this patrol is also from Zhongjia Village near Peach Blossom Town, so I got to know Fang Gongzi and became close friends, and all the people accompanying me this time are our acquaintances in Peach Blossom Town!" Zhong Xun is proud of this.

Qu Zhixian said: "I see! Xia Guan also got acquainted with Fang Gongzi in order to bring down the King of Lingnan! ”

"Yes! When I was ready to leave Jinling City, my father-in-law instructed that I must assist Qu Zhixian and find out that in the palace where the master is like a forest, the person who obtains the account book will be recommended to the emperor, and he will be recommended to the emperor, and he will be awarded the title of second-class high-ranking official, serve the country, and share worries for the emperor. Zhong Xun asked.

Qu Zhixian said: "The lower officials also want to find out the whereabouts of this person, but there is no way to find out!" ”

Zhong Xunji smiled mysteriously: "This person is far away in the sky, close in front of him, but the magistrate has not found it!" ”
