Ma An couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her posture, which didn't look like she was joking. He couldn't imagine that he and Lin Shan would fight for wine in front of her today, not only did she not dissuade her, but she would come over to have a drink at this time.

However, Lin Shan on the other side only quietly slipped a trace of strange color in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

In fact, Lin Shan knew Li Shi many years earlier than Ma An, because Li Shi was the servant girl who served Ye Ziqing on that rainy day in the Great Wilderness Mountain. And after she followed her young lady up the mountain into the grass house, she also shared her own jar of bamboo leaves with her.

Presumably it was this wine that reminded her of something!

Lin Shan thought silently in his heart, and there was a feeling of melancholy in his heart.

Seeing that Ma An was stunned, the distance between Li Shi's eyebrows was slightly closer, and he said seriously: "This is more than ten years old wine, but it's not yours, could it be that you are stingy with the strength to even move your elbows?" ”

Ma An seemed to come back to his senses at this moment, but in fact, he was stunned for a moment waiting for some possible indication from Lin Shan. Seeing that there was no movement over there, he should have acquiesced, so he hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Li Shi respectfully.

Li Shi returned to his seat with a wine glass in satisfaction. Looking at Mo Ye's surprised expression, she just smiled and said, "Don't think it's strange, I actually knew how to drink a long time ago, just to have a reason to persuade them to drink less and set an example, so I have endured it." ”

She lowered her head slightly, took a sip of the wine, and then her face also showed a look similar to the one on Ma An's face when she drank the first glass of wine just now, and then a layer of mist rose in her eyes at the same time, I don't know if it was because of being provoked by spicy wine.

Li Shi is a woman after all, and there are some reserved guards that can't be put aside. Even though she was holding a shot glass, and she hadn't touched it for years. She should have been looking forward to it for a while, but she still couldn't dry it like Ma An and Lin Shan, she just took a deep sip and put down the wine glass, and then said to herself leisurely: "After enduring it for many years, I can get such wine when I drink it again, and it can be regarded as making up for all the wine I haven't drunk over the years."

Even so. Mo Ye, who was sitting next to her, was already surprised. Even the meat and bones that were about to be gnawed away in his hand fell between the plates and bowls, and there was a crisp sound when he smashed it. However, this noise was quickly drowned out by the sound of the two men on the other side drinking and punching.

Today, everyone in the family seems to be a little abnormal, but Mo Ye knows roughly why this is in his heart.

It's just that adults can express some kind of affection by drinking and punching, and she is a child. is still a little girl, facing the distraction that she can already experience, although she always feels that there is something missing that should be done. But she can only continue to eat silently, and cannot participate in the activities of adults.

Just as Mo Ye was silently chopping rice with some depression, a dumpling with spicy condiments fell into the small dish in front of her. Mo Ye just raised his eyes. met Lai's loving gaze.

"Why don't you just eat and not pick up vegetables? When you eat, you can concentrate on eating, so that you can eat well! Li Shi smiled and continued: "Today is braised rabbit meat again, and rabbit dumplings are again, it is a little inappropriate to make repeated meals, and you have already eaten a lot, I guess you should feel tired." However, when the dumplings are cooked, they should be eaten hot, and they will not taste good when they are returned to the pot. Just try a few more! ”

Mo Ye nodded seriously, the meals cooked by my aunt have always been extremely delicious. For this reason, she also questioned the cooking skills of the kitchen chef in the county restaurant. Just thinking that there might be a long time after today that she might not be able to eat the food she cooked, glancing at the sumptuous dishes on the table at this time, Mo Ye's heart couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

However, at today's dinner, the interest of the two people at the table was higher and higher under the effect of good wine, which naturally stirred up the overall atmosphere at the table. Ma An has always been a talkative corner at the dinner table, let alone when he serves a wine bowl. And today, there was another Lin Shan on the table who accosted him, and the Li family didn't say anything today, letting them make trouble, so that the gloom in Mo Ye's heart was quickly dispersed by their laughter.

Between the fists and wine, Ma An brought up the matter of Lin Shan's damage to the original party. Mo Ye finally knew that the method of her master to damage her former senior brother was really a bit too much - the master actually set up a trap for the original party to have a lawsuit.

Those who study have not yet entered the office, and they have a case record, which is a taboo in their careers. However, since the original party is the person that Lin Shan likes, as long as he has the ambition to be an official and serve the court, I believe that Lin Shan has his own way to open the way for him.

Even if you can find a way to erase this disgraceful record in the future, at that time, for Yuan Fang, a scholar with pride in his heart, he should have suffered a great shame that may be unforgettable for the rest of his life, and this negative feeling is difficult to completely erase.

While listening to Lin Shan's story about that incident, Mo Ye, who was silently pondering, couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. also lost the original party, I don't know what method was used, but I was able to hide this matter so tightly. After so many years, although the senior brothers of the academy have people who know about his past scenery, no one has mentioned the matter of him taking a lawsuit.

It was also because no one knew about it, so he could continue to stay in the academy, so that he could still receive the laws of the new dynasty on time every quarter, and provide meager supplies for a living for a student idler like him. But at the same time, Mo Ye also began to realize that Lin Shan's previous assessment of the original party's ability might really be justified.

And at the dinner table, probably through wine, about the original party, Lin Shan mentioned some details that he hadn't told Ma An.

It turned out that the highlight of the incident was that the original party could not afford to hire a lawyer because of his poor situation, but when he was in a very passive hearing situation, he suddenly applied to the county magistrate for self-defense.

Originally, as a person with half a meritorious name, in today's law, he has the power to be a temporary debater. Lawyers all over the country are also scholars, and it is uncertain whether the original party who has not officially entered the government will join the lawyer profession in the future.

It's just that the client of this temporary court advocate is actually himself? This was the first time he had heard of it, and those who heard his request for the first time were also surprised, and the prefectural magistrate was even more surprised and worried about whether he had suddenly gone insane.

The law expressly decrees that no one who is related to each other may testify against each other. Therefore, from the moment he said this, it seemed that he was immediately rejected by a majestic voice who came to discipline the code.

Moreover, if this law can be preached, then where is the dignity of a lawyer? In the future, if there is a lawsuit dispute between two people to demand justice, is it just to stand on the street, or stand in the court in a different location, and then roll up the sleeves of your clothes and tear up your voice, which is more loud than who's voice?

Of course, these are just layman's terms, but they are truths that even ordinary people who do not understand the law can see.

However, there are a lot of things that the county commander has to take care of, and this is only the most basic consideration, and the things under the hall are changing at any time, and the important thing in front of him is that he is worried that the original party is really crazy, but what can he do. Because of his years of experience in adjudicating cases, he also saw some doubts in this case, and if he was wronged, he would be driven crazy at the same time...... Thinking that he was still a student of the Lizheng Academy, which was said to be based on the imperial family, the prefectural magistrate felt that this matter must be cautious.

And after waiting for the tea kung fu to rest, the county magistrate didn't know whether he had twisted his brain or listened to whose advice, and actually agreed to the original party's application for self-defense.

At that time, even the subordinates of the county magistrate must have been a little unbelievable, but at this time, sitting at the table at his home and eating dinner leisurely, listening to Lin Shan, who was half-drunk, tell the details of this incident in a slightly smoky voice, Mo Ye felt that he had reason to believe that the county magistrate at that time must have a more powerful reason to make this decision.

Because, Lin Shan is the mastermind of this matter.

And since Lin Shan took the initiative to admit to her that he had some special powers in the court, even if Lin Shan did not describe in detail what kind of power it was, he set up a situation out of temptation and testing, although it involved the law and the court officials, it also had the strength to act to the end.

And a person who 'can participate in the resolution of the DPRK and China and may influence the outcome of the resolution', although Mo Ye still can't understand in detail what kind of power this is, however, if he wants a county order to help him with this small favor, it is always not so difficult, right?!

What's more, when Lin Shan was asking for power, he had already prepared a choice of conditions for the county magistrate for the original party that seemed human and balanced.

That is, it is okay to defend himself, but when the original party defends himself, in order to avoid suspicion, he must find a 'substitute recipient'. This person should not be his relative, and he should be temporarily guilty in court, and then the original party will take him as the original sin and himself as the party to argue with the lawyer invited by the party.

If the original party has argued, he will be acquitted and released; However, if it is not argued, the sin is added to the same degree, and the innocent person who is the "substitute recipient" will also be equally guilty.

The prefectural decree agreed to the additional conditions for him to apply for self-defense, and at first glance, it was harsh and almost pushed people into a desperate situation, but it was basically the same as the self-defense request he made to the prefectural magistrate. The original side is challenging the unchangeable majesty of the law, and the prefectural lord is like testing the luck of the original side, and luck is often something that can be met but not sought.

It's just that, because this incident was not an accidental event from the beginning, the so-called uncontrollable luck can also be deliberately created. Of course, the original 'substitute recipient' has been arranged by someone with a heart, which can be regarded as a great favor for him.

――――――

Note: I don't know if there was such a 'self-defense of the defendant' in ancient China, this plot is purely the author's sudden imagination, and furthermore, there are special circumstances in the identity and events of the original self-defense in the story...... Therefore, it can be summed up with the words "if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence"! Of course, if you just buy groceries and lose two or two words, and go to court and engage in self-defense, this will certainly not work.
