Chapter 168: One Cow and Two Masters

They didn't dare to roar in the court, they just hadn't been to the lobby before, and they were just a little nervous. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info They were all afraid that the county magistrate would favor each other, so they rushed to speak, wanting to give the county magistrate a preconceived impression.

Lu Qing gritted his teeth in anger, and the two old men understood the nature of this case with one sentence. Aren't they just two families fighting for a cow?

Such a trivial matter, is it worth the fuss of two people to go to the county office to beat the drum of grievances? Is it really the county magistrate who coaxes children? There is no major event of life and death, who dares to act rashly?

In other places, it is true that no one dares to make a reckless noise. Because it is not easy to touch the drumsticks, you have to go through the permission of the drum keeper before you want to touch the drumstick.

More or less you have to pay some money to have a chance to play the drum, otherwise the officials will stop you and scold you with some high-sounding words that you can't even find the north.

Yunjiang County is different, there is no special person to guard the drums in Yunjiang County, and the drumsticks are placed on the drum rack, and anyone can go up to beat the drum.

Because it is convenient to beat the drum, there are many people who fight lawsuits, Lu Qing is quite dissatisfied with this matter, and he privately asks the officials to pay attention.

Anyone who intends to approach the drum of grievances should first ask if there is a big thing, and if there is no big thing, don't let them knock it around. Zhou Ning was promoted to the hall as soon as he heard the drums, no matter what he was doing.

Zhou Ning often can't eat well because of this, and even like today, it's not a question of whether he eats well or not, but he can't eat it.

There are few people beating drums and complaining in other places, and a more important reason is that many places have established rules, and those who beat drums and voice grievances must first receive a certain number of boards before going to the church.

Being beaten and suffering is not just as simple as being beaten and suffering, this kind of board is generally only three boards and five boards, of course, the severity depends on the mood of the servants.

The key to hitting the board is to take off your pants first and then hit it in public, it's not just meat. The physical pain is even more humiliating at the spiritual level.

In this way, very few people beat the drum and voice grievances, and all those who beat the drum have major grievances, otherwise who would rather climb up the lobby with a board?

Yunjiang County does not have this rule, or it is said that there has been no such rule since Zhou Ning came. Zhou Ning felt that the people themselves did not like lawsuits.

Anyone who comes to sue is a parent official who trusts the church, and this trust cannot be disappointed. Some things do sound like small cases that are not worth mentioning, but for the people, they may be big things involving hunger, cold, and warmth.

Zhou Ning doesn't think the case is small, he is even more afraid of the big case. If the world is a small case, it means that the world is peaceful. He listened patiently to the two old men's statements.

These two old men didn't know any of the rules of the hall, and the reason why they dared to break into the hall was because they had all seen Zhou Ning's trial, and they felt that Zhou Ning was very divine and had no arrogance.

They didn't know how big things to beat, and the two of them broke into the lobby without saying a word. They really can't solve this little problem themselves.

They are all villagers of Mingyue Village, the one wearing hemp gray clothes is called Zheng Zhimin, and the person wearing blue clothes is called Hong Xing. Both families raise cattle for a living, and they have always been peaceful.

In March, two families lost their cattle one after another, and each family lost a cow, which is a big deal in the village. For farmers, the significance of a cow is self-evident, and cattle are a large proportion of property.

Neither of them found their own cattle, so they reported the matter to Baozheng, and Baozheng also led people to look for it everywhere, but they didn't find it.

This morning, a cow suddenly appeared at the entrance of Mingyue Village, and the villagers pulled the cow into the village and called the people of their two families to come out and identify it.

As a result, the people of both families said that the cow was lost in their own family, and they were scrambling to claim it home, and they were in a dilemma in the middle.

The cattle grew about the same, and they had been lost for three months, and outsiders had no way of recognizing whose cattle belonged to them.

Cows can't speak, and unlike other people's small animals are domesticated and obedient, cows are very stupid animals, and no one usually deliberately domesticates them.

The two families quarreled all morning, and finally they both ran to the county office to complain.

It can be said that the case of the county government is not even a big murder, and there are many situations in which murder occurs. The two families fighting for a cow can only be regarded as a dispute at best.

Usually, if you hand over the complaint and go through the procedure, it may be rejected, and such a trivial matter as beating the drum and going to court to sue you will risk being labeled as a 'trickster in court' in other places, and it is easy to be beaten out with a stick.

Where is the use of such a small civil dispute to go to the county government to sue? The village's baozheng should be able to solve the problem. Hearing them scrambling to explain things clearly, Lu Qing snorted coldly in anger.

Zhou Ning looked at Lu Qing, only to see that his face was blue and his mouth was pouting, he knew that he thought the matter was too small, and this little thing disturbed Zhou Ning's meal and made Lu Ye unhappy.

Zhou Ning coughed lightly and said to Lu Qing: "You can solve it." ”

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and responded, "Okay." ”

Lu Qing's favorite thing is to put on a prestige and let him live a big addiction to the county officials, which is a great thing. He didn't think it was a small matter at once, it didn't matter if it was big or small, he could ask questions and give orders.

Zhou Ning saw that his expression had changed so obviously, and he smiled faintly. Lu Qing always thinks things too simple, and Zhou Ning just wants him to know that there are no really simple things in the court.

"Listen, both of you." Lu Qing put his left hand on his waist, and pointed to the two old men kneeling on the ground with his right hand, and began to pronounce the sentence with great majesty: "Slaughter this old cow, and each of you will share half of the beef." If another ox returns, it will be slaughtered and divided equally among you. ”

Lu Qing held his head high arrogantly, and solved the matter in one sentence, what's so difficult about this?

"No."

"Never."

The two old men scrambled to kowtow, and neither of them agreed to kill the cow. They want cows, not beef.

Live cattle are labor and property to them, what is the use of dead cattle? Beef may not be sold, and it can't be kept, and even if it can be sold, it will be a loss.

Lu Qing didn't expect him to have such a good idea, but these two old men didn't do it. None of them had enough proof that the cow belonged to theirs.

Both of them raise cattle, and the characteristics of the cow are pitiful, and the characteristics of the cow are obvious at a glance.

Since they can't tell the difference, it's better to add two to five, this can't work, what else do they want? What's so hard about dividing two cows? Lu Qing's eyes blinked, and a good idea came to mind.
