Chapter 048: Turning the Tide (Part II)
Liu Ruhai, the magistrate of Taichang County, glanced at the front with a solemn face, and said: "Now this official is trying the case of the grain store being defrauded, and Mo Zhang, the shopkeeper of the grain store, received a batch of grain from Liu Cai's family a few days ago, and it turned out that some of them have become moldy, and the grain store is according to the price given by the market, so Mo Zhang thinks that Liu Cai has deceived himself, so he asks Liu Cai to compensate, what the county said is right?" ”
After Liu Ruhai finished speaking, the entire yatang was silent, Liu Yuanwai lowered his head and squinted at Li Wencai, at this time it should be the plaintiff who pretended to be like his wife had been touched by someone's buttocks, crying with a handful of snot and tears, in order to show how wronged he was and how hateful the defendant was, but Li Wencai on the other side lowered his head as if he was out of his body, and his eyes were staring at the ground without blinking.
Liu Ruhai also looked impatient, what is this Li Wencai doing, he was distracted on such a formal occasion, so Liu Ruhai snapped and shouted: "Li Wencai, you have something to say." ”
Li Wencai was startled, glanced at Zhixian, and asked blankly, "What did you say?" ”
Liu Ruhai snorted coldly: "What do you say, do you still want this official to teach you?" ”
Li Wencai seemed to understand what Liu Ruhai meant, knocked his head to the ground, and shouted with a crying voice: "Villain...... The villain is wronged. ”
Only then did Li Wen know that when you go to the yatang, as long as you shout injustice, it is definitely right, at least let people know that you are a victim, and everyone will sympathize with you, even if you touch someone else's wife's buttocks, people will definitely feel pity when they see you confessing so sincerely.
In fact, just now Li Wencai looked at the two ants on the ground, one ant rode on the other ant very obscenely, and shook back and forth, Li Wencai became interested, so he watched it with relish, Liu Ruhai asked, where did Li Wencai hear a word, and now he was shocked, and he was angry and annoyed.
Liu Ruhai is also inexplicable, what is this Li Wencai here for, obviously he sued others, but now he is crying and shouting that he has been wronged, Liu Ruhai is very disdainful of this unobtrusive guy, and asked with a cold face: "Where did you wrong?" ”
Li Wencai's heart was stagnant, he didn't know what Liu Ruhai said just now, now it's called wrong, there must be a reason. This is also difficult for Li Wencai, I saw that when Li Wencai raised his face again, the expression on his face changed quite delicately, from grief to sadness, and then a crystal tear slowly slipped from the corner of his eye, if he was filming now, Li Wencai would definitely be the best actor.
After sobbing twice, Li Wencai trembled, pinched the orchid finger in his hand, and began to sing in a low and sad tone: "The north wind blows, the snowflakes float, the snowflakes float, the year is coming." My father went out to hide from his debts, and he didn't come back for the whole day, and I hope that my father will come back soon and celebrate the New Year happily. ”
Li Wencai sang very devotedly, everyone present, including those officials with burning sticks, froze, looking at Li Wencai like a ghost, Li Wencai saw that everyone liked this paragraph, so cheering, so he sang harder, only to see Li Wencai singing while getting up from the ground, pinching the orchid fingers, taking small steps to Liu Yuanwai and then singing: "People's daughters have flowers to wear, your father and I can't buy them with little money, pull a two-foot red head rope, tie up my daughter, tie it up." ”
Liu Yuan's face turned purple, Li Wencai, the bastard, was taking advantage of himself, and he was still singing and scolding himself, so he shouted: "Master is the master of me, this bastard scolds people." ”
Liu Ruhai really wanted to ask the official to beat Li Wencai out with a bastard, he was trying the case, not here to listen to the music, and Li Wencai's duck singing was really ugly, so he pointed at Li Wencai and shouted angrily: "Bold and open-minded, who let you sing here?" ”
Li Wencai shrank his neck and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Wronged, my lord, I think everyone loves to listen to this paragraph, so in order to let everyone relax, why are you so serious, how good it is for everyone to talk happily." ”
"This official asks you again, is it true that the grain bank sued Liu Cai?"
"So that's it, I thought it was a big deal, and the villain came here for this today." As soon as Li Wencai heard that the county asked about the grain store, he felt very relaxed, we are the plaintiffs, why did we shout injustice just now.
Li Wencai straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "What, if you go back to the county lord, the villain is going to sue Liu Cai for speculation, cheating, shoddy, and deceiving buyers." ”
After Liu Yuanwai and Liu Yu'er listened, they stared at Li Wencai with unkind eyes, it seems that this guy is not here to help, but to make trouble.
"This matter has been investigated by the official, the amount of grain sold by Liu Cai is not small, according to the law of our dynasty, not only must Liu Yuanwai compensate for the loss of the grain store, but also put Liu Yuanwai in prison."
"The adults are wronged, the grain that the villain sold to the grain store is indeed moldy because it has been piled up in the warehouse for a long time, but the amount is not much, and I hope the adults will see it." When Liu Yuanwai heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he nodded and shouted injustice, it is said that this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and it is not the first time that everyone has done business, most of them are compensated according to the price, but this time is different, there is Master Jia behind his back, and the shopkeeper Mo sued himself for fraud, which is not a small hat, and there is a lot of this batch of food, it is estimated that it will not end so easily this time.
Li Wencai already had a plan in his heart, as the future father-in-law of Liu Yuanwai, who looks down on people, his future son-in-law wants to show off his horse, so that he also knows that Ma Wangye has a few eyes, so Li Wencai squinted at Liu Yuanwai, snorted coldly and said: "Uncle Liu's words are not right, let me give an analogy, when you were eating at home, you found a mouse feces in the pot, this mouse feces is not big, but are you still willing to eat this meal?" ”
"You...... Who do you say eats rat poop? Liu Yuan's angry speech was not good, and he pointed at Li Wencai and roared angrily.
Before Liu Yuanwai finished speaking, Li Wencai continued: "I'm just making an analogy, don't be angry, of course I didn't say that you eat mouse, that, let me make another analogy, Uncle Liu's family has a group of wives and concubines, and the uncle is majestic, and he has not fallen for decades, but in recent years, he has become a fast gunner, although it has only been two years, the neighbors know that you are a fast gunner, and your wisdom of not falling down in a lifetime will be ruined, so this small problem will become a big deal if you don't pay attention, let's take precautions and prevent it from happening." ”
Liu Yuanwai glared at Li Wencai, his old face turned blue-black, and after a while, he saw Liu Yuanwai's eyes roll, and he didn't come up in one breath, so he was about to be planted.
"Dad, are you alright?" Liu Yu'er burst into tears, and glared at Li Wencai fiercely.
Li Wencai was also shocked, he was just joking with his father-in-law, just like two children playing, who knew that this old guy couldn't stand playing so much, and he would be knocked down in a few words, and he knew that he wouldn't play this analogy.
Liu Ruhai was also startled, if this person died in his own court, he would be in trouble, so a bunch of people shouted around Liu Yuanwai, pushed his back and pinched people, turned into a litter of pigs, and tortured Liu Yuanwai half to death.
Li Wencai was not happy to watch it from the side, and shouted at Liu Yuanwai: "Uncle Liu, wake up, this case is not reported." ”
"What you said is true, a gentleman is hard to chase after a word." Liu Yuanwai opened his eyes suddenly, and stood up from the ground as if he had returned to the light.
Li Wencai felt that he was too soft-hearted, Jiang was still old and spicy, this Liu Yuanwai turned out to be an old fox, and his acting skills were no worse than his own, which made him gain the way, but as a dignified gentleman, a manly husband, a mouthful of spit and a nail, besides, Liu Yuer's little lady is also in front of him, if he plays a scoundrel, it will undoubtedly make people see himself clearly, so Li Wencai touched his nose and said: "What, now that I am in charge, I won't tell if I don't tell you, it's a big deal, but the loss of the grain bank is obvious, and this Uncle Liu has to pay for it, Otherwise, I, a dignified lawyer, won't be able to go back. ”
Liu Yuanwai was of course satisfied with this result, nodded and said: "It's easy to say, I will compensate for the loss." ”
Seeing that the two of them were smiling and shaking hands, they were going to hold hands and go to the restaurant to have a drink, but suddenly there was a thunderclap, and above the court, Liu Ruhai, the magistrate of the county, took the startled wood and roared: "I have been busy for most of the day, you two are old husbands playing, I knew this, why do you have to sue the court, you can solve it privately." ”
Li Wencai sighed and said: "Back to the adult, the villain actually doesn't want to trouble you, you see that you are busy with official business, and you have every opportunity, but as an agent of the grain bank, of course I can't do things hastily for my own selfish desires, to be honest, the villain has been an honest and kind person since he was a child, upright, and undeceitful, so even if his father-in-law commits a crime, he will not be paralyzed, but you have also seen that my father-in-law is old, and the villain will make him half dead in two sentences. ”
Li Wencai's words were heartbroken, and his face was sad, but who knew what he was thinking.
Liu Yuanwai pointed at Li Wencai and didn't say anything for a long time, and almost rolled his eyes again, damn it, who is your father-in-law, my daughter married you, and it was half her life.
"You're talking nonsense, I'm not your father-in-law." Liu Yuanwai held his breath for a long time and suddenly spit out a few words.
"Father-in-law, don't admit it, we all agreed before, I won't sue you, you will marry Yu'er to me, we can't talk and not talk."
"You...... You. ”
"Don't worry about you and me, we're all family."
"You bastard, scumbag." Liu Yuanwai went to court with Li Wencai this time, and he had to live at least ten years less, and it is estimated that he will be seriously ill when he goes back.
Li Wencai was very angry, he made such a big concession, this old guy didn't know how to lift, so he said with a cold face: "Don't be embarrassed, if you don't admit it, I will sue you." ”
Liu Yuer tugged at the corner of her father's clothes and glanced at her father. Liu Yuan sighed angrily and stopped talking.
"Lord Zhixian, let's just say this matter, the loss of my grain store is not big, there is no need to make such a big move, let Uncle Liu pay five hundred taels of silver, forget it." Li Wencai said kindly.
"What, five hundred taels? Why don't you grab it, my horse is worth five hundred taels in total. Liu Yuanwai gritted his silver teeth and shouted.
"Actually, this is what our shopkeeper means, I am the agent, you have to talk to him about this." After Li Wencai finished speaking, he winked at Liu Yuanwai, and both of them understood the meaning.
"Okay, five hundred taels is five hundred taels." Liu Yuanwai didn't say a word, took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and handed them to Li Wencai personally, the big stone in his heart finally fell, to be honest, Liu Yuanwai is still very grateful to Li Wencai, this time this kid is obviously talking for himself, otherwise if he changes the Mo shopkeeper, it is estimated that this time it will be even worse.
