Chapter 13: A Fruitless Lawsuit

The warm sun of the first month is urging many remnants of the cold winter of the past year, and in the blink of an eye, it has entered February.

The long street was crowded with more people, and the shops along the street gradually began to get busy, because the city gate that was temporarily closed was able to be opened again, but the officers and soldiers stationed in the city gate hole still did not decrease. Many of the tarpaulins built near the city walls have begun to be removed, and the few remaining ones are no longer cooking porridge. In recent days, the people of Yidu County have begun to sort out the information of the victims and compile a register, whether it is to send them back to their hometowns or to choose a place for resettlement, it will take a long time and cause people an incomparably headache. I guess it's been busy until at least May.

The Yidu County Government and the Qingzhou Government are only a few streets apart, and under this relationship, no one dares to be perfunctory. Moreover, the Qingzhou Mansion directly sent the second chair to take charge of this matter, and Yidu County worked hard from top to bottom.

The victims who came over last year have been dealt with accordingly, but unlike Yidu County, the butts on a few chairs in Qingzhou Mansion have to start using their brains.

In view of the disaster problems that have occurred, the Qingzhou Mansion has reason to plan for the worst, and during the summer flood in June, I don't know how many victims will happen, and then it will be the real toss officials. Therefore, in addition to going to the government every day to sit in the hall, several elders in the early morning also shouted together to draft some countermeasures in case of emergency.

In the end, this matter fell on Chen Xiujie, the general judge of the third chair, so just after February 2, Chen Xiujie had already gone out, took the money and grain account books to the countryside, and began to inspect the grain reserves in the granaries of various places. I'm afraid it's been more than two months since the eighteen granaries of the entire Qingzhou Mansion came down.

Prior to this, the Chen family father and son had a more in-depth conversation, not only about the problems with the talker that must be solved at the moment, but also about the many questions about the future development of Chen Ji. Chen Xiujie first talked a lot of big things with his son, and then in the second half of the night, he completely handed it over to his son, perhaps because he knew that after he went out, Chen Ji was the only man in the family after all, so he gave his son enough "respect".

After an all-nighter, the two fathers and sons went back to rest with dark circles under their eyes, and the next day Chen Xiu personally went to the door of the Tan family and sincerely apologized, but the result was naturally stopped by the Tan family.

The third time Chen Ji appeared at the door of Tan's house, Tanjia actually felt that the first two times had "killed enough prestige" to let him enter the door. Chen Ji left after waiting for less than half of the first two times, and when the Tan family chased him out, he only saw the back of the young man around the corner, and a sentence that had been left for the porter.

"Then I'll see you in court."

The Tanjia people were puzzled and resentful, and the officials of Yidu County had already come to the door for questioning that afternoon, and when they turned around, the Tanjia and the plaintiff became the defendant.

After that, the lawsuit was intermittent, and it had the meaning of delaying until the end of the year.

When Chen Xiujie was leaving, he explained a few more words to his son, and then concentrated on going out on business.

As for some of the small actions of the Tan family, Chen Ji also did not see it, so he invited the most famous master in Yidu to hand over the pleadings, and took three small followers to Zhuangzi outside the city, and the Tan family would never see him.

The talker was quite tough at first, putting on a stubborn face, but with the results of several court inquiries, he began to be unable to sit still.

Tan Jia's huge family business needs to be questioned in the end, and it is at such an important time as the beginning of the year, but the Yidu County Ya sent messages several times, "During the questioning period, there is no permission, and no one is allowed to go out of the city without permission." He even took back the "road guide" of the talker. That's the real thing.

Talking about the anxiety of the family, feeling sorry for the white flowers, the rooms were inevitably affected and began to complain.

While scolding the Chen family's father and son for bullying people too much, how could they not sneer at the second room that offended the Chen family.

In less than half a month, it can be said that the house is restless.

The Tan family has also privately found the Yidu County Order, and the benefits may be good, but in the end they can't resist that the Chen family has an official, and the parents of a county can only "make decisions for the people", and the Tan family said with a bitter face: "This county is only acting in accordance with the law of Dazhao, and this county also wants to try a result as soon as possible, which time will there be no such case when the court asks the case...... The county did not shirk it. According to the meaning of this county, it is best for the two of you to negotiate this matter privately, and the evidence handed over so far has proved that you are the first to talk about the family......"

When he came to the door again, the county honor's face was already pale, "...... The last time I asked about the case, the Tan family had already handed over the Chen family for beating people, and the county had sentenced the Chen family to 30 canes in accordance with the Dazhao Law, detained for one month, and compensated the Tan family 5,000 taels at a time. ”

……

“…… Okay, okay, if the talker thinks that the county's judgment is unfair, and go to the government office to deliver the complaint, or you can hand it directly to the Yamen of the Division, the county still has important matters, and you can ...... it."

……

The lawsuit between the Tan family and the Chen family has become a casual conversation in Yidu for a while, with some contemptuous people and a few supporters, after all, at present, the Chen family has not oppressed people with power. The case was handed over after Chen Tong's sentence left, and every time he was promoted to the court, the Chen family was also in person, on the other hand, the Tan family just sent a side branch child, and the victim did not show up once, so arrogant. And several times, how many things have been tossed out by the talker? countersued the Chen family for beating people, and the Chen family quickly made compensation, and then said that the Chen family girl had nothing to do, and the Chen family finally got angry and angrily reprimanded the Tan family for "beating and causing miscarriage". The wind naturally shifted to the Chen family's side.

……

What is revealed to the world is that "the talker is holding on to it, and pulling things off". The Chen family also expressed their "willingness to negotiate" in court several times, but also revealed that "so far, there has not been a real talker to negotiate".

In this way, time dragged on for a while, and the original "truth" of this matter was gradually forgotten. However, news such as "the son of the Chen family was beaten and slept for seven days", "the son of the Chen family went to the Tan family in person and was not allowed to enter three times", "The young master of the Tan family stayed in the Chu Pavilion and maliciously belittled his wife" began to circulate.

When these things reached Chen Ji's ears, he immediately went to find Chen Wenxuan. In the end, it is about "fame", and this era has a "natural" "harsh" for women.

Chen Wenxuan looked at the various emotions in Chen Ji's eyes, and just soothed: "This can't afford to raise a Chen Wenxuan?" ”

Chen Ji scratched the back of his head, "I'm worried that you're going to have a heart disease." ”

Chen Wenxuan nodded and said solemnly: "Although that person is my husband, he is the executioner who hurt my child." ”

Chen Ji was stunned and smiled: "I know, sister, don't worry, I will find you the best brother-in-law in the world in the future......"
