Chapter 57: The First Case of the New Official
Just after Fu Xiaotian shouted this sentence loudly, whether it was outside the hall or inside the hall, he was stunned, how could anyone ask like this as soon as he came up.
At this time, Nie Xiaomeng resignedly walked to Fu Xiaotian's side and whispered, "My lord, it's wrong for you to do this." Generally, if you want to try a case, you must have a litigant write a pleading, and then submit it to the yamen, and after the master book or master reads it, it can be handed over to you for trial. ”
"My lord, you're really abrupt like this."
"Oh, I see, hehe, it's the first time I'm an official, and it's a little unclear." Fu Xiaotian awkwardly shook the two small wings of his black gauze hat.
"By the way, is there anything else to pay attention to?"
Fu Xiaotian asked a little uncertainly.
"My lord, this, okay, Xiaomeng won't twist it. You should write a ticket and hang it at the gate so that people will know that you are in office. Also, later, you will take the county minister, the master book, the canon history and the officials to the City God Temple and the Land Temple to kneel and worship. ”
Hearing this, Fu Xiaotian suddenly felt that his head was big, it turned out that being an official was so troublesome, he thought that he just needed to put on his clothes.
Well, it's time to find a master or master to help you, otherwise you don't understand anything, wouldn't it be a joke?
However, it seems that except for Fu Xiaotian and Nie Xiaomeng, the rest of the people, eh, don't mention it.
Forget it, let's do it yourself.
So Fu Xiaotian sent the official to bring a piece of paper, on which he wrote neatly: "Fu Xiaotian was appointed as the magistrate of Dingxi County on June 20, the tenth year of Jiande, and I hope everyone is familiar with it." ”
Eh, doesn't Fu Xiaotian feel embarrassed? This is a typical uneducated appearance, but he is still a showman. But that's the only way, who made him don't have a few around him who can write.
Then, Fu Xiaotian wrote below: "PS: This official needs a master and master here, I hope you will recommend yourself and participate more." ”
Hey, this county magistrate is really good, and he really does what he wants.
After that, Fu Xiaotian handed the ticket card to Chen Guoguo on the side: "Brother, go and paste this paper at the city gate." ”
Chen Guoguo picked it up and looked at it, looking particularly puzzled: "My lord, what is the strange symbol under you?" I don't understand why. ”
Fu Xiaotian smiled: "Ah, this, it's harmless, you just post it." ”
After Chen Guoguo left, he smiled, looking a little embarrassed, forgetting that the people here didn't understand English. But it doesn't matter, aside from the word PS, the rest of the content can still be understood.
Since it was close to midnight at this time, it was about 9 to 10 o'clock, and there were more and more people. And at this time, there was no master book in the yamen, so the people directly presented the paper to Fu Xiaotian.
There are not many papers today, only two, Fu Xiaotian first picked up one of them and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "Cao Min Zhang San, I suspect that my wife Chen has done something about red apricots out of the wall, and I hope that the adults will make decisions for me." ”
Well, the expression is very short, I wonder if there is any other hidden meaning in this?
Thinking of this, Fu Xiaotian patted the shocked wood, "Smack!" "Pass on Zhang San and his wife Chen."
Soon, Zhang San and his wife Chen came to the public court and knelt on the ground.
It can be seen that Zhang San's wife, Chen, looks very ordinary, dressed plainly, and if you take a closer look, her hands are full of calluses, which should be caused by doing farm work.
At this time, Zhang San knelt on the ground decently and wailed loudly: "My lord, I suspect that my wife Chen has done something wrong with others, and I ask my lord to make the decision for me." ”
Fu Xiaotian frowned and thought for a moment, then shouted, "What evidence do you have?" ”
Zhang San was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the new county magistrate to ask this, after all, the previous county magistrate would directly judge the case.
Just looked at Zhang San and said submissively: "That's the case, recently, my wife Chen has been going out early and returning late, and while I am not there, I don't know which wild man I went to." ”
Hey, this testimony is really perfunctory, and I really think Fu Xiaotian is a fool, this is obviously a strong argument, at this time, he asked Chen again: "Chen, do you have anything to say?" Quick as it gets. ”
Chen's mouth squirmed slightly, and then she was silent, and it was clear from her eyes that she was particularly disappointed in this husband.
At this moment, a man outside the hall shouted, "My lord, I have something to say." ”
Fu Xiaotian glanced outside the hall, and the man who shouted just now should still be very young, probably twenty-five or sixteen.
"Whoever is outside the hall, come in and speak."
The man walked into the lobby and said respectfully: "My lord, I am the younger brother of the Chen family, I have something to say." ”
Fu Xiaotian immediately agreed: "You say, listen to the official." ”
Chen's younger brother pointed to Zhang San, who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "My lord, you don't know, Zhang San is a drunkard, he has never taken care of the farm work in the house, and it has always been my sister who takes care of the house. But this Zhang San took advantage of the strength of the wine every time to beat my sister. My sister put up with all this, but this time, he actually wanted to divorce my sister for the sake of a widow! ”
It seems that there is indeed a secret in this. But at this time, Zhang San shouted: "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense, I was wronged!" Wronged! ”
In order to have a deterrent effect, Fu Xiaotian slapped the wood in his hand and said angrily: "Wronged or not, the official has his own conclusion, don't make a loud noise in the court." ”
I have to say that this time it still has an effect, Zhang San immediately stopped talking.
Then Chen's younger brother continued: "My lord, here's the thing, this Zhang San has recently become infatuated with a widow in the west of the city, and for this reason, he wants to divorce my sister, so he came up with this plan. ”
Hearing this, it was already clear who was true and who was false, Fu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Zhang San, the matter has come to this, your matter has been revealed, what else do you want to say?" ”
At this time, Zhang San was still very stubborn, "My lord, don't listen to their sisters and brothers joining forces to lie to you." ”
Hey, it's okay to be thick-skinned, Fu Xiaotian was shocked, and said angrily: "Zhang San, you can quibble about other things, but if you look at your wife Chen's hands, they are not only very rough, but also full of calluses, aren't you ashamed of this?" ”
"Your wife is so housekeeper, and you still do such a thing, it's really a man who has thrown into our man!"
"Someone! Twenty rods! ”
"Execute it now!"
After saying that, the two yacha stepped forward, knocked down Zhang San, and beat him down with a stick.
Hey, just look at the three of them and howl in pain, "Ah~"
