Song Qing smiled: "This little brother, is your master here?" I'm a teacher from Lin'an, and I want to fight a lawsuit for the girl next to me. ”

This person was angry, "Go and go, the lawsuit is not now, and I can't do this master, and besides, our master is still sleeping, if you disturb him, beware of teaching you." ”

As he spoke, he pounced and closed the door, leaving Song Qing and Tang Yueyue with helpless expressions outside.

"My lord, why didn't you just say that you were a criminal officer? How can they be so bold then?"

Song Qing explained: "It's not the time yet, Miss Yueyue, no matter whether you want to fight wits and courage with others in this society, Song has to advise you, it's best not to expose your hole cards too early."

Tang Yueyue said that she understood, she already understood.

The two sat outside for a long time, until the sun was noon, and the door was finally opened, and then a middle-aged man dressed in silk came out of the room, with a rich face, which was obviously cultivated by eating and drinking for a long time.

Song Qing and the others immediately walked over, and then said straight to the point: "This master, I came to the master from Lin'an, and this girl has been unjust, so I want to sue her."

Master Xiao looked at Song Qingdao and said, "Master, are you like too?" Besides, my ploughing cow died for no reason, shouldn't I claim compensation?"

"The claim is naturally due, but master, the cow has already been compensated for its death, but you haven't compensated the dealer who was eaten by it!"

Master Xiao shouted, "Joke, the dealer is only a few dollars, is my cattle worth or is the dealer worth it?" Again.... Besides, the dealer is better than the ploughing ox?"

Tang Yueyue's anger is not light, this is simply unreasonable, how can people be like this now?

Song Qing continued: "Since this old man thinks that things are very unfair, and at the same time you still suffer a loss, otherwise, how about you and I enter the yamen again?" Let's see how the magistrate will decide the case. ”

"At the same time, Song Mou still has some spare money, if you win, Song is willing to give your own silver to accompany you?"

When Master Xiao heard it, there was still such a good thing? At this moment, he was interested, and relying on his relationship with the magistrate, he knew that he would definitely not lose this lawsuit.

"Boy, I promise you, but you must not regret it, in case you find that there is too much money in compensation, tell you, this is not something that can be solved with a little silver."

Song Qingdao: "Master, don't worry, we will never regret this matter, but the premise is that you don't regret it, let's go, Miss Yueyue, let's go directly to the yamen with Master Xiao."

So, they finally walked towards the yamen, and after walking for a while, they finally came to their destination, the gate of the yamen was closed, and there were no officials on duty outside.

Song Qing came to the drum of grievances, picked up the wooden stick and beat it, and after a while, the gate was finally opened, and then a servant poked his head out and scolded, "Early in the morning, what are the ghosts roaring and screaming?" What's the case in the afternoon... Hey, why is Master Xiao here?"

Xiao Shan said: "Master, I came to earn money again today, and a stunned young man from Lin'an said that he wanted to seek justice for the father and daughter, so he actually took the initiative to invite me over."

"Okay, I'm going to serve the government, and if I don't go to inform the magistrate of the county soon, I'll say that I'm here, master.

The official answered, closed the door, and walked in again, and soon after, the door was opened again.

So the three of them walked in one after another, and when they entered the lobby, they saw a thin old man wearing an official uniform coming over to the hall

This person is the magistrate, estimated to be in his early fifties, as soon as he saw Xiao Shan, he immediately said hello, there must be some kind of connection between the two.

"Boldly Diao Min, why don't you kneel down when you see the master?"

Song Ci said: "Since this surnamed Xiao doesn't kneel either, then Lord Zhixian, do you think the two of us should kneel for you?" Besides, it is a talent in the next generation, and according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no need to kneel down to the officials of the five grades. ”

Zhu Ping, the magistrate of the county, said: "I can't see that you know a lot, so let's forget it today, no...

"But Lord Zhixian, why don't you let this Xiao Shan kneel? He's not a showman, he's just an outsider, and the county magistrate's approach is very wrong. ”

Zhu Ping's face was embarrassed, as the magistrate was bullied by a showman, he was very dissatisfied.

"In addition to Xiao Yuan, there is also the Tang family, since this is the case, then you should kneel, this official has not ordered, you must not get up.

Both of them are dissatisfied, but after thinking about it, forget it, the scene at this moment is no longer bearable to them.

Zhu Ping said: "Okay, since that's the case, then Xiao Yuanwai, this official asks you, about the battle between you and the Tang family, haven't we already settled it?" The Tang family has already compensated dozens of taels of silver, and you have already reached a settlement, why are you still here today?"

Tang Yueyue said: "My lord, this case has not been resolved, and the people feel that this treatment is unfair, so they specially invited a teacher..."

"Daring, you have the silver to ask the master, why don't you have the silver to compensate? This is a ploughing cow, if it has three calves every year, how many years should it be? And these cubs will give birth again, and the cubs will give birth again, I said Tang, you can afford it. ”

Song Qing wanted to curse when he heard this voice, he had never encountered this method of judging cases.

Tang Yueyue was very dissatisfied, and immediately said: "My lord, this is a bad word, my father also committed suicide by drinking medicine because of this matter, so how should this Xiao Shan compensate?"

"This... Isn't this a life worth a life, otherwise Tang, do you think you can still walk out of Yamen 7 openly?"

Song Qing was even more angry, comparing human life with cattle? He had never encountered such a ridiculous thing.

Xiao Shan's face was rampant, he knew that he was going to win again today, which was indeed good news for him.

"Hey, I said Xiucai, I still advise you to take the initiative to admit defeat in this matter, don't have too much, you are giving me a hundred taels of silver, how about this matter?

Song Qing glared at him, "I said Master Xiao, you are really good at laughing, you compare human life with livestock, do you mean that people are inferior to livestock?" Lord Zhixian, in the Great Song Dynasty, do you think this is in the past?'

"This... This is not a cow, but a cow of a rich family, and as for people, they are nothing more than people living at the bottom. ”

"Xiucai, don't you know that all beings are equal? At the same time, this cow has a strong physique and can plow the land for many years, but this one... After all, I'm old, and I don't have much time to live, right?"

"You're bold." Song Qing was furious, "Lord Zhixian, Song suggested that this case be retried, otherwise I will definitely not be able to give you a good one, do you believe it or not?" Besides, it is really unconvincing that you should make such a verdict in such a ridiculous case. ”

Zhu Ping was also angry, and drank suddenly, "Okay, you are a showman, you have only been eating ink for a few years, and you have to yell at the official to drink five or six?" Tell you, this official has walked more bridges than you have crossed, do you believe it or not?"

"Song doesn't believe it."

Putting the belongings he was carrying on the ground, Song Qingdao said: "Lord Zhixian, you are not really confused, you are fake and confused, you obviously know how to judge this case, but you just don't follow the rules, I think you have received some benefits from this Xiao Shan?"

"You..... Bold and talented, you dare to wronged this official, you are breaking the law, do you believe that this official can punish you?"

Song Qing sneered, "Cure my crime? Joke, today I don't know who cures whose crime, the county magistrate, human life is at stake, in your eyes it is not as good as a cow, it seems that you will not be able to do it for a long time. ”

"Haven't you been doing it for a long time? This is a big joke, hehe, I said poor Xiucai, this official wants to know where you got the confidence from?"

"This official has been an official in this county for decades, and no one has ever dared to speak out in front of this official, you are really bold."

Song Qing didn't explain either, and continued to look at him.

Zhu Ping continued: "The official will tell you what my basis is now, first of all, the cow eats the dealer first, but the crime is not death, Tang's father chased him to the bottom of the cliff and stoned it to death, Xiucai, there is nothing wrong with the official letting her compensate!"

Song Qingdao: "There is indeed no problem, but the compensation you want from the county magistrate is enough, and it is very excessive."

"Excessively, isn't the cow going to give birth? Isn't a dead cow just a dead cow? Did you know it was going to give birth? Now a cow must cost ten taels of silver!"

"If, ten years later, the cows give birth to cows again, wouldn't that be a hundred cows? Xiucai, how much do you say these cows are worth? It's not too much to lose a few hundred taels, but a thousand taels is not too much.

"Xiucai, do you think what the official said makes sense? Besides, this official has been an official for decades, so how can I judge a case and use you to teach?"

Song Qingdao: "Okay, we are currently relying on the magistrate of the county, but let's do it, since the cow can give birth, can the grain continue to be sown?"

"Miss Yueyue, Song asked you, how much food was lost in your family?"

Tang Yueyue thought for a while and said, "How can you have more than a hundred catties." ”

"A hundred pounds? Okay, so does this Xiao Shan have food to accompany you? Or will I accompany you with Yinliang?"

"No... There are no adults, they didn't pay a single boy, they were very helpless, and they also sealed my house.

Song Qing was even more angry, and shouted: "Lord Zhixian, let's count it according to one hundred catties of grain, if one hundred catties are planted in the coming year, how can we produce tens of thousands of catties of grain, right?" If all the 10,000 catties of grain are planted in the coming year, then it will be 10,000 catties, do you think it's okay?"

Zhu Ping said: "Bold and talented, you are simply a strong word, do you know that you have so much land to grow a banker?".

"What if you don't? But Lord Zhixian, even if the Tang clan doesn't have so much land, it won't affect the harvest, right?"

"At the same time, there is no problem with the cows and cubs, and there is a problem with the production of grain?"
