Chapter 403: Writing a Pleading
Jiang Zhonghou doesn't have to use that old goatee pedant to write anything, he knows how to write, although the level of writing articles is not good, if you want to participate in the imperial examination, it is far from enough, but usually write something, you can still explain things clearly.
And this kind of thing, as long as the matter is clear, as for the literary style or something, what's the use!
Anyway, Jiang Zhonghou thought so, so he walked towards the old goatee pedant.
When he arrived at the stall, Jiang Zhonghou said: "This old gentleman, please lend me two pieces of paper for use, I will write a copy, and then I will go to the county government to fight a lawsuit!" ”
The old scholar with a goatee touched his beard, smiled at Jiang Zhonghou, and said: "Little brother, you look like a scholar, but you must not have passed the imperial examination, and the old man guessed that when you were studying, you must have been beaten by Mr. often, and you must have been beaten by the ruler a lot!" ”
Jiang Zhonghou said: "Old man, I just borrowed your paper and pen for use, but did I come to you for fortune telling?" Besides, you're a letter stand, not a fortune teller, so I'm not going to let you calculate my future! ”
The old goatee scholar still shook his head and said: "You can't say that, little brother, you don't know what to do, if you want to go to court, you have to say it, I'm not telling you something unlucky, but saying something that will happen to you, do you believe it or not?" Do you want to make a bet with the old decay? ”
Jiang Zhonghou was very impatient, he said: "I just came to borrow something from you, you are talking to me such a lot of nonsense, what do you want to do, are you trying to find it unpleasant?" I didn't recruit you or mess with you, if you don't borrow it, forget it, I'll go to someone else to borrow it, and besides, why don't I know what's going on? ”
The old scholar with a goatee glared at Jiang Zhonghou and said, "Hmph, the old man said that you don't know the reason, you just don't know the reason, you don't want to think about it, you came to me to borrow paper and pen, so why don't you want money?" ”
Then, he raised his voice and said loudly: "This is all about money, otherwise the old man is setting up a stall here, is it to play with you, you can borrow if you want, and if you don't give money, borrow it for nothing!" ”
Jiang Zhonghou sighed, he said: "It turns out that you want money, then you can just say it directly, why do you say that I don't know the reason, and say that I will definitely lose the lawsuit?" ”
The old goatee scholar smiled and said, "You want to write a lawsuit in a lawsuit, do you want to write it yourself?" That's definitely not going to happen!
Let me tell you, the form you need to use in a lawsuit is very particular, and you don't know the trick, so as soon as you write the form, as long as you hand it over, then you will definitely have to suffer this board, and it is strange that you don't hurt to death if you are slapped on the buttocks!
The old man won't tell you that there was such a young man in the morning, who also came to borrow paper and pen from me, and then he didn't listen to the old man's words, so he had to write the statement himself.
According to the old words, this is deserved!
I have to write my own statement, why do you want to save those dozens of dollars? Just a few dozen dollars, do you think you can make a fortune, you can still get rich?
You have to save it, right?
The money for writing the statement was saved, but the money for the medicine on the ass was spent, do you say it yourself, is it worth it or not? ”
This goatee old pedant, eloquence is quite good, although he speaks verbosely, but every word he says is being spoken, if the form is not written by him, then the lawsuit will definitely be lost, and it may be beaten!
Although he didn't say clearly why this happened, but Jiang Zhonghou listened to this, he really didn't dare to write his own statement, so he simply spent a few small dollars to make this old pedant write, and it was quite professional to look at this old pedant.
Jiang Zhonghou glanced at the county government, he was a little anxious, he came to clear himself, so the sooner he reported the case, the better, for fear of delaying time, but he was afraid that the statement he wrote was really not good, in case he was read by the county magistrate, but thought that he was a wicked person to sue first, wouldn't it be bad, maybe he would really beat him up!
Jiang Zhonghou said to the old goatee pedant: "Okay, then you will write it, how much do you want?" I've just heard that you need 10 cents to write a petition! ”
The old goatee pedant smiled and said: "Ten wen is the lowest price, if you want not to be beaten, then you have to get twenty wen, if you want to write the form to make the officials in the yamen agree, then it has to be thirty wen, if you want to let the county lieutenant in the yamen read and agree, then you have to double it, give sixty wen, if it is a homicide case, then the starting price is one hundred, because this form is for the county magistrate, so the style must be good, if you want not to be boarded, then you have to give me two hundred wen, if you want to get the approval of the county magistrate, That's three hundred texts!
If you don't use the old man to write, it's like the young man in the morning to be beaten twenty boards, and then talk about things, that's okay, it depends on whether you have a lot of meat on your ass, whether you can carry it or not! ”
Jiang Zhonghou rolled his eyes and said, "You said that there was a person who was hit by the board in the morning, does that person look similar to me?" ”
The old goatee scholar looked at Jiang Zhonghou carefully, nodded and said, "Well, you look a little similar, are you two relatives?" ”
Jiang Zhonghou did not answer him, but continued to ask: "Was he beaten, was he beaten by twenty boards?" ”
The old pedant with a goatee said impatiently: "Do you want to write a statement, if you don't write, stay away, don't delay the old man to do business, as for how many boards the person suffered in the morning, you yourself ask him to go, don't talk to the old man, it's boring to listen to!" ”
Jiang Zhonghou thought to himself: "Are you long-winded?" I told me all this nonsense, but I was told the news that my hapless brother had been beaten by the board.
This is very good, if Jiang is honestly beaten, it means that if I go to report the case again, I may be recognized by the official master, because I have a different method of reporting the case from him, I know more! ”
Jiang Zhonghou said: "Okay, then I'll give you 300 wen, you write me a statement that the official will agree with at a glance, and I'll tell you what happened!" ”
Jiang Zhonghou thinks that he is not an expert in writing statements, so he just spent some money and let this old goatee pedant write it, and he told the whole incident again, but in fact, there was too much water in it, and it could even be said to be misleading, of course he had to act in a direction that was beneficial to him.
Many of what he said was illogical.
However, the old goatee pedant didn't care, anyway, while listening to his narration, he wrote with dragons and phoenixes, and when Jiang Zhonghou finished narrating, he also finished writing the form.
The old pedant with a goatee said: "You take this form away, you remember two points, the first point is that after the county magistrate sees this form, he will definitely not hit your board, and the second point is that the county magistrate will definitely agree, and file this state for the record, and will definitely not let you rewrite it, the old decay let you this three hundred copper coins, it will never be spent in vain, now the old decay gives you the form, you give the old decay money, and then you go to beat the drum and voice the grievances!" ”
Jiang Zhonghou paid the money, then took the form, and went to the big drum again, ready to beat the drum and beat it far!
