Li Rizhi just said that he wanted to help Azhu find Xu Duwen, but Xu Duwen appeared here, which is really incredible!

Maybe it's not Xu Duwen who is kneeling in the hall, but who else is?

Zheng Gangling was already sitting at the back of the big case, and according to the rules, he picked up the shocking wood and slapped it on the table all of a sudden, and then asked: "Who is kneeling below, but the people of this county, who do you want to sue, why do you sue, if there is a complaint, submit it quickly!" ”

The young man kneeling below hurriedly said: "The student's surname is Xu Wen, his hometown is Ganzhou, the student wants to sue the woman of your county Du Shi, she actually regrets her marriage, the student has prepared a complaint, please ask the county magistrate to look at it!" ”

As he spoke, the young man raised the paper in his hand, and an errand officer came over to pick it up and sent it to Zheng Gangling's big case.

Zheng Gang ordered: "Seeing that you speak clearly, and you claim to be a student, you must have studied, you must know, if the Du family does not want to marry you, you just need to return the dowry, if the two of you have not said in advance how to compensate, then she does not have to compensate you or anything, you must understand this!" ”

This sentence is Zheng Gangling's reminder to Xu Duwen that if he did not say before the marriage that if one party repented, then what kind of compensation would need to be borne, then Du would have nothing to lose, and Xu Duwen would not get any benefits.

On the contrary, if a student who is likely to participate in the imperial examination suffers from divorce, it will be detrimental to his reputation.

After Zheng Gangling reminded him, he looked at Xu Duwen below, and was a little puzzled, this Xu Duwen has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his literary quality is polite, although he doesn't look very rich, but don't bully the young man to be poor, but he can't say that he will be poor for the rest of his life!

But seeing Xu Duwen's face flushed, he was extremely embarrassed, and after listening to Zheng Gangling's words, he swallowed a few saliva before he spoke: "Lord County Ling misunderstood, it's not that Du Shi doesn't want to marry a student, he is the student's mother-in-law, it's that she doesn't want to marry her daughter to a student!" ”

Li Rizhi listened behind the pillar, he didn't know that Azhu's mother's surname was Du, so until now he couldn't be sure that this person was Azhu's fiancé, if he could be sure, he would immediately rush back to the back house and pull Azhu to take a look.

Zheng Gang sighed, but he still didn't look at the situation, and still asked, "Have you thought about it, do you still want to sue?" ”

"Yes, the student has made up his mind, and he must sue!" Xu Duwen lay on the ground and kowtowed to Zheng Gangling.

Xu Duwen has not yet obtained fame, and in terms of identity, he is still a civilian, so he can't stand and talk in the lobby, unless Zheng Gangling asks him to get up, he has to kneel all the time.

Zheng Gangling didn't ask Xu Duwen to get up, and when he heard him say that he had to sue, he went to see the situation.

Li Rizhi sneaked out from behind the pillar, hid behind Zheng Gangling, and stuck his head on the table, wanting to see it too.

Zheng Gangling glared at him, how could this naughty kid run to the lobby, pressed the top of Li Rizhi's head, and forced him under the table, not allowing him to look at it.

The complaint is very clear, but the case is quite tortuous, the complaint said that Xu Duwen's father and the local Zhu surname were good friends, so as to set the baby parent, ten years later, Xu's father left Xingyang, went to other places as an official, and after two terms of county officials, Xu's father died in office.

Xu's father was an honest official and had no savings, and Xu's mother couldn't afford to be sick because of the loss of grief, Xu Duwen had to take care of his mother, unable to leave his place of residence, and the family's money was spent, but he still didn't save Xu's mother.

After the death of Xu's mother, Xu Duwen kept filial piety for three years, and after the expiration of the filial piety period, he set off to Xingyang, and on the way he relied on copying and writing for people to earn travel expenses, and then returned to Xingyang.

But who knew that when he arrived in Xingyang, he thought that he could find the former Uncle Zhu, but he didn't want Uncle Zhu to have passed away for a long time, and Aunt Zhu was Du, but she didn't admit that she had this family business, not only did she want to repent of her marriage, but she also didn't let Xu Duwen see her daughter Zhu.

Xu Duwen returned to Xingyang with great difficulty, but he suffered a repentant marriage, which is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, to talk about quarrels, he is never Du's opponent, and to be reasonable, the key is that Du Shi does not reason with him, and in desperation, he had to come to the county government and hand over the complaint.

Zheng Gangling finished reading the form, he didn't put the Zhu family on the paper, thinking that it was Yahuan Azhu in the yamen, he is absolutely impartial now, he said: "Twenty years ago, when the two of you parents were married, there was a marriage certificate, and your family could give a dowry?" ”

Xu Duwen hurriedly took out the marriage certificate from his arms, this is definitely going to be used, and after the messenger presented it to Zheng Gangling, he said: "The student's family was still rich when he was married, so he gave the Zhu family a piece of jade pendant, and the Zhu family also returned a silver lock, which the student has been wearing on his body for 20 years, but no matter how hard life is, the student has never thought of selling it." ”

He unbuttoned the collar of his clothes, and there was indeed a small silver lock inside, which was the kind of small silver lock that was worn by children and lived a long life, it seemed that Xu Duwen attached great importance to this token, even if he was in the hall, he did not take it off and present it to Zheng Gangling.

Zheng Gangling didn't mean to look at the silver lock, he just needed to know that the marriage was in line with etiquette, and there were a lot of things that should be missing, so it was okay.

"Xu Duwen, get up, you can wait for the time being." Zheng Gangling took out a fire stick from the stick, threw it on the ground, and said, "The official listened, and quickly went to pass the Du clan to the court." ”

He stepped forward and took the fire stick, turned his head to look at Xu Duwen, Xu Duwen hurriedly said the address, the catchers went out, Zheng Gangling did not wait in the hall, got up and went back to the second hall to rest, and put it on the table.

As soon as Zheng Gangling left, Li Rizhi crawled out from under the table, he first picked up the table and went to see the shape on it, although he was not very old, but he had been reading since he was a child, and there were no rare words on it, so he read it quite smoothly.

Xu Duwen sat on a stool under the hall, his spirit was very bad these days, he had traveled a long way to Xingyang, not only did he not get a rest, but he had to come to fight a lawsuit, which was when he was exhausted.

Suddenly, Xu Duwen saw a child suddenly appear, still lying on the table to look at the situation, he thought that he was too tired, so he was dazzled, he quickly stood up, and said to the messenger in the hall: "That...... That ...... in the hall"

The servant looked at him and said with a smile: "That's my nephew of the county honor, he is very smart, and he is very good at solving cases, and he will have a chance in the future." "For the relatives of the prefectural order, of course, I have to praise it for the better.

Xu Duwen sighed, it turned out that he was not dazzled, was there really a child who ran to the table of the county order, he sighed in his heart, why did even children run in this county hall? !

Xu Duwen had no choice but to sit back in place, and now he could only wait for the arresters to bring Du Shi to him, and then he could ask questions again, and he had no other way but to wait.

Li Rizhi saw the situation, and felt more and more that the young man in the hall was Ah Zhu's fiancé, he ran to Xu Duwen and asked, "Your name is Xu Duwen, do you know Ah Zhu?" ”

Xu Duwen sighed, stood up again, he looked down at Li Rizhi, and said strangely: "You know Azhu, who is Azhu, is she surnamed Zhu?" ”

Azhu doesn't have a big name, but she has a nickname, but the nickname can't be used, so she was a maid in the county government, and others called her Azhu, and many women who went out to work in this era were called like this.

Li Rizhi nodded and said: "Yes, her surname is Zhu, she is a maid in the yamen, she is twenty years old, she has not yet married, many people are very strange, I also asked her, she said to wait for her fiancé, called Xu Duwen, is it you?" ”

Xu Duwen was taken aback, the reason why he came to the yamen to complain was because Du Shi didn't let him see Azhu, but he didn't expect Azhu to be a maid in the county ya, wouldn't it be possible to cross Du's level and meet Azhu directly!

Li Rizhi said again: "How did you get the little scar on your forehead, Sister Azhu can tell me, you can also say it again, if you are indeed Azhu's fiancé, then I will go in and find her and ask her if she wants to meet you!" ”

Xu Duwen was surprised and delighted, he put the small scar on his forehead and said: "This is when Azhu climbed a tree when he was a child, but fell from the tree, I saw it and ran over to pick her up, Azhu was fine, but I fell down and broke my forehead, leaving this small scar." ”

Li Rizhi clapped his hands and said: "That's right, that's right, that's right, you wait here, I'll go in and call Sister Azhu out, so that the two of you can meet!" ”

He stepped out of his calves and ran into the second hall, Zheng Gangling saw it, and asked, "Rizhi, don't be naughty, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Rizhi shouted: "Go find Sister Azhu, that Xu Duwen outside is the fiancé she has been waiting for!" ”

"Huh? Ah Zhu is the Zhu family on the form? Zheng Gangling was slightly stunned, and saw Li Rizhi passing through the second hall and running to the back house.

He couldn't help but think: "I didn't think that Azhu was the Zhu family, so naturally I didn't ask, but Rizhi can ask it, it seems that although he is young, he is thoughtful, if he can cultivate well, his future will be greater than me and my brother-in-law!" ”

At this moment, the arresters came back with Du Shi, took her to the court, and asked Du Shi to wait, and one of the arresters entered the second hall to report Zheng Gangling, and the defendant was brought in, and the case had to be continued.

Not long after Du Shi left the county office, he had just entered the house with his front feet, and before he could drink saliva and rest, a catcher came to the door, saying that she had eaten a lawsuit, and he directly escorted her away.

But Du Shi was frightened, she thought it was someone sent by her daughter, but she stumbled a few words with her daughter, and her daughter sent a catcher to arrest her, when did her daughter become so powerful? However, no matter how powerful she is, she can't send someone to arrest her mother!

When I arrived in the lobby and saw Xu Duwen sitting on the side, Du Shi realized that it was Xu Duwen who was proclamation!

This can make Du Shi angry, she is really angry from her heart, and evil is born to the side of the guts, she saw Xu Duwen stand up and salute her, and her heart was even more angry.

Du Shi thought to himself: "The scholars are fake, they all came to the yamen to sue me, and they even pretended to salute me!" Very good, Xu Duwen, you wait, as long as I am here, you don't want to marry my good girl, don't think about it in this life! ”
