Chapter 57 The Qing official is difficult to decide

"Mighty~"

The hall horn sounded, and Zhou Ning sat in the lobby with a sinking face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The water and fire sticks crackled and poked the ground, which upset people.

"Take the complainant to court." Zhou Ning was shocked and suppressed his private emotions. Be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, and when the county order is a day, you will be in charge of the people's feelings for a day.

The county magistrate gave an order, and two men came out of the side hall, both of whom had a look of resentment. The two men scrambled into the lobby, kneeling down and kowtowing upwards.

"Grass farmer Chen Fulu kowtows to adults."

"Wu Qing, a grass citizen, kowtows to adults."

When they were in the side hall, the officials simply told them the rules of the hall, and they were instructed on how to kowtow and how to reply to the hall. Although they were a little scrambling, they were not too chaotic, and no one spoke casually.

Zhou Ning had read their pleadings last night, and he knew a little about what they were going to sue. Thirteen years ago, Chen Fulu went to a foreign country to do business alone, leaving only his wife Chen Luoshi at home.

In the past thirteen years, he has not heard from him, Chen Luo's family still guarded the door a few years ago and waited for him to go home, but later he had no food and clothing and Wu Qing's courteous dedication, so he hooked up with Wu Qing.

Now that Chen Luo and Wu Qing have been living together for nearly ten years, Chen Fulu suddenly returned. Chen Fulu was unwilling to let his wife and children return to Wu Qing like this, and Wu Qing refused to let go and return Chen Luo's to Chen Fulu.

The two of them fought and went to the court, it happened that Zhou Ning was not in the county office yesterday, they were noisy at the gate of the county office, attracting many onlookers, it was the master who went out to take the paper, and asked them to come to sue again today.

"Chen Fulu, you speak first."

"Yes." Chen Fulu didn't open his mouth and kowtowed again: "Listen to me, sir, I went to Suzhou to do silk business, and I made some money a few years ago, but I was robbed by a strongman on the way back to my hometown, and I was left empty-handed and had no home to return." ”

Chen Fulu remembered the past full of resentment and sadness: "I was anxious and angry and fell ill in a foreign country, thanks to the rescue of well-wishers, I left a life, these years of punching and kicking to earn some money, my heart rushed back like a pot of fire, as a result"

Chen Fulu turned his head and stared at Wu Qing hatefully, pointed at him and scolded: "This dog. He was raised by my mother and occupied my wife, so that I can't go back to my home now, and my wife can't recognize me. ”

Chen Fulu turned his head to look at Zhou Ning: "Ask the eldest master to call the shots, avenge the hatred of the villain for taking his wife, and cut off my wife to me, otherwise I won't be able to close my eyes when I die." ”

How could Wu Qing be willing to endure his insults, he pointed at Chen Fulu and scolded: "You wolf-hearted thing, do you want to be shameless?" ”

"Smack!" Zhou Ning was shocked, and the two people in the hall closed their mouths, how could they be allowed to scold each other in the court?

"Wu Qing, what do you say?" Zhou Ning saw that Chen Fulu had nothing to say, so he handed over the right to speak to Wu Qing.

Wu Qing kowtowed upwards and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he divorced his wife thirteen years ago and never returned. Ten years ago, I got married to Roche with a media certificate, and the neighbors can testify to it, and our husband and wife love each other for all to see. ”

Wu Qing took out an object from his arms and presented it to both hands, and the official took it and sent it to Zhou Ning, who glanced at it and asked him to put it on the table.

What Wu Qing handed over was a marriage letter, proving that he and Luo had indeed made a marriage ceremony, not a casual fornication.

"With the marriage certificate as evidence, Roche can be regarded as remarrying rather than being taken away at most." Zhou Ning looked at Chen Fulu: "Have you ever divorced your wife back then?" ”

"Nope!" Chen Fulu said categorically: "Absolutely not! ”

"Without you, you haven't even sent a letter for thirteen years? Didn't you pay Roche a penny for 13 years? Wu Qingsheng asked, and Chen Fulu's face turned red.

Anyway, it is a fact that he has been gone for thirteen years, and it is also a fact that he has not brought any news to Luo for thirteen years, and he has not fulfilled his obligations as a husband for thirteen years, and now he is back to fight with Wu Qing for a wife, and his confidence is indeed insufficient.

Otherwise, there would be no lawsuit, if he was bold enough, he would have kicked Wu Qing out of his house directly, and now the fact is that Wu Qing did not let him in at all.

Even if Chen Fulu is ashamed of Luo's place, he has no reason to give in to Wu Qing, he is not to be outdone, and asks Wu Qing: "You said that I divorced my wife, where is the divorce book?" ”

"It's been ten years, where can I find a divorce?" Wu Qing didn't say that he didn't leave the book, he said: "I lost it a long time ago." ”

Chen Fulu also took out the marriage certificate and handed it over: "Master, I also have a marriage certificate as a basis, I married Luo before him, Luo is my wife, and we have three media and six certificates." ”

Zhou Ning looked at the two marriage documents, and couldn't make up his mind for a while. A woman cannot be married to a second husband, and one of the two marriage documents must be abolished.

Chen Fulu and Luo are married couples, although they have been separated for thirteen years, but the name of husband and wife is still there, and it is a matter of course for people to reunite husband and wife, and it is really unreasonable to judge them to separate.

Wu Qing and Luo are also married to Ming Media, and they have been married for ten years, and they can't bear to break up the mandarin ducks alive. Besides, if they are divorced, can Roche and Chen Fulu really live in harmony?

The marriage system of that era was not very sound, and it stands to reason that Luo could not remarry without a letter of resignation. But the specific situation is different, Luo's marriage to Chen Fulu is a distant marriage, and she has no family in the local area.

It was entirely up to her to remarry because there was no one else on the Luo family's side. Therefore, it was easy for her to remarry Wu Qing, and no one mentioned the divorce at all, so she decided the marriage book in such a daze.

Now that the two men each hold a marriage certificate, they both have to live with Luo, so how can Zhou Ning rule? Zhou Ning looked at the two marriage books, and then looked at the two men in the hall.

He persuaded the two of them: "As the saying goes, why should a husband have no wife? In my opinion, neither of you is the kind of person who can't get a wife, so why bother fighting? You should discuss and discuss, whoever has a relationship with Roche will compensate the other person with some money. ”

Chen Fulu became anxious when he heard this: "He has seized my wife, and I still want to give him money?" They all say that you are a clean official, and the clean official is so confused to judge the case? ”

Wu Qing was also anxious when he heard this: "We are doing well, why should we give him money?" I am not the wife I bought from him. Master, you have a clear heart like water, you are a good husband and wife for us, you can't cut off Luo to him as a scoundrel, he is pure enough to blackmail our husband and wife. ”

In the lobby, you said a word to me, and I didn't win or lose a battle for a long time. Zhou Ning listened for a while, and saw that the two of them were getting less and less offline, and they both began to scold each other, so he slapped the shocked wood heavily and stopped them.

"Pass on the Luo family's daughter to the church!" Zhou Ning sent a message to pass on Luo's family, which man do you want to live with, tell it yourself.
