Chapter III: Confrontation in court
Zhong Yu was dragged by the woman's cuffs and dragged to the gate of the Yidu County Ya. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The door of the Yidu County Ya is a little shabby, the entrance of the Ya is a standard official eight-character wall, the door is closed, the doors on both sides are open, and the drum next to the door is full of dust.
Qingzhou City and County are in the same city, and it is naturally impossible to trouble the prefect's yamen for such a trivial matter. Of course, it stands to reason that it is impossible to come to the county office, and this kind of trivial matter is generally over with the mediation of the chief of the government.
If you dare to come to the county government to fight a lawsuit for a trivial civil dispute, it can only be seen in that kind of brain-dead TV series, so Zhong Yu is very suspicious of this woman's IQ. As for the drum of injustice, it can't be beaten casually, because once the drum is sounded, the parties are not ready to be good, and they are determined to make things bigger, which is a big case. If it's a trivial matter, just sound the drum of grievances, whether you are justified or not, whether it is light to beat the board and go to prison, whether it is a stab and exile, it depends on the mood of the county honor.
The heroine obviously still understands some rules, but Tianxing did not make a move to beat the drum angrily, but pulled Zhong Yu very low-key and entered through the side door.
There were two servants in soap suits standing inside the door, and when they saw the woman and Zhong Yula pulling in, the two couldn't help but be stunned.
"Sue! I'm going to sue! You, go and invite the county lord! The woman said aloud as she pointed to one of the two servants. The heroine's tone is very big, her attitude is very arrogant, and she is so arrogant that she is a mess.
This situation made Zhong Yu sweat coldly, and his face became extremely ugly. Obviously, this woman is not a fool, but she is confident enough to make her so arrogant.
Judging from Zhong Yu's observation, although this heroine's brain is not very elf, she is not a fool, and the most likely thing is that this heroine is very confident, either her family background is very good, or this woman herself is very good. Of course, in Zhong Yu's opinion, it makes no difference, because he will definitely lose the lawsuit.
The official who was pointed out by the heroine, the expression on his face at the moment is also very rich, especially looking at the eyes of the heroine, as if looking at some kind of fierce beast, absolute awe, well, it seems that the official knows this woman, that is to say, this woman seems to often take some trivial things to complain, has become a frequent visitor to the yamen.
The heroine's aura is very strong now, and she has the momentum of sweeping thousands of armies across the universe!
The official was obviously subdued by the woman's momentum, he glanced at Zhong Yu, his eyes were full of sympathy, he didn't say a word, turned his head and walked towards the second hall of the yamen.
Zhong Yu seemed to understand the look in the officer's eyes - boy, you are going to be unlucky, ask for more blessings!
Zhong Yu's eyes were full of endless grievances, and he looked at the heroine with a sad face.
"My house has been ransacked, and the only money I have for life has been stolen by thieves, am I not miserable enough? You still want to sue me, you're still not human? ”
The woman said angrily: "I helped you catch the thief who stole the money bag, and you still tripped me with your foot, causing you to fall on the horse, you are still not human?" Who is not a person, it is not you and I who have the final say, and there is a judgment of the county lord! ”
The referee is hairy, and it is clear that I am going to lose the lawsuit!
It didn't take long for the official who went to report to come back, and he told Zhong Yu and the woman with a very respectful demeanor that the county lord was waiting in the second hall of the yamen.
Of course, this official's respectful demeanor was definitely not aimed at Zhong Yu...... Zhong Yu still has this self-knowledge.
Small civil disputes, naturally it is impossible to hear them openly in the county hall, and those that can be tried in the hall are relatively serious criminal cases, and Zhong Yu and Nuxia are not qualified to go to the lobby for such a small civil dispute.
In fact, the vast majority of the Yamen secretly handled cases in the second hall, and the handling of cases by the officials of the Yamen was generally mediation.
If you want to see the county lord sitting in the lobby and slapping the wood, the two rows of officials below are called "mighty" while smashing water and fire sticks on the ground, unless you are a serial murderer or a Jiangyang thief, you have the honor of kneeling in the lobby and listening to the two rows of officials pounding water and fire sticks.
The woman seems to be very stubborn, and she keeps pulling Zhong Yu's cuffs and refuses to let go, as if she is afraid that Zhong Yu will run away again.
The two of them pulled all the way to the second hall of the Yidu County Ya.
The second hall of the county government is the place where the yamen is managed and office on a daily basis, and the left and right rows of quite old wing rooms are the offices of officials at all levels, such as the magistrate, the county cheng, the main book, and the canonical history.
The county government is quite old, and it is the rule of officialdom not to repair the government for officials. The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are flow officials, unlike most of the military generals who are hereditary, and the civil officials generally serve in one place for a few years. And it is said that in the Ming Dynasty, even the cabinet duty room of the cabinet scholars was dilapidated, so it is not surprising that the official offices of the Ming Dynasty were generally dilapidated. Of course, civil officials generally live in the back office, and this back office is generally repaired very well, but ordinary people can't see it.
It is said that in a small case like Zhong Yu and this woman, the yamen only needs a scribe to mediate a few words, and at most it will alarm the history of the prison in charge of public security, and it will be heavenly.
However, when Zhong Yu and the others walked to the courtyard of the second hall, a servant told them that Zhang Zhixian, the county lord of this county, was waiting in the west wing of the second hall.
Yidu Zhixian personally handles trivial matters, and the officials are idle to such a point?
Zhong Yu's eyes widened, taken aback, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide to look at the heroine...... What is the origin of this woman? Such a small matter can be tried by the county in person.
On the other hand, the woman had a natural look on her face, and Yao snorted lightly in her nose, showing a hint of pride.
Zhong Yu didn't think much about it, he straightened his clothes in the second hall, and walked in with a solemn expression, but he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart. The heroine followed Zhong Yu with a very casual expression, snorting and sneering at Zhong Yu from time to time, laughing so that Zhong Yu had goosebumps behind him.
The furnishings in the signing room of the county office in the west chamber of the second hall are very simple, one side is a book case, and an official hat chair.
When Zhong Yu came in, he saw a dignified-looking middle-aged man, sitting on the official hat chair behind the bookcase with his head bowed and reading the papers.
This middle-aged man is none other than Zhang Wei of Yidu Zhi County.
Zhang Zhixian heard someone coming in, looked up, and saw Zhong Yu saluting politely.
"Student Zhong Yu, I've seen Lord County!" It is said that Zhong Yu should report the table words, but he doesn't know if he has a table word or what the table word is, so he will be exempted.
Zhong Yu didn't know whether to kneel or not, and those who had a reputation in his impression could not worship the official, but his reputation for showing off his talent was dismissed, and it seemed that he needed to kneel. However, Zhong Yu, a modern person, is still very resistant to kneeling, and when he saw that the annoying woman did not kneel, Zhong Yu only bowed.
Zhang Zhixian saw Zhong Yu saluting, but he didn't have any opinion. His first impression of Zhong Yu was still good, he was born a talent, handsome and dignified, and at first glance he was an image of a literati, everyone was a disciple of Confucius, if you don't kneel, you won't kneel!
But when the county lord saw the woman, his expression became very strange.
"Uncle Zhang, I want to sue, this poor scholar is an accomplice of the thief......" The woman recounted how she got Zhong Yu, the thief, with a sigh of anger. It seems that although this heroine's brain is not good, after all, she often comes to the Yamen to fight lawsuits, and she is still very familiar with how to portray Zhong Yu as an impertinent and shameless thief and thief.
Uncle Zhang? Zhong Yu was shocked, it turned out that there was really someone in this heroine's yamen!
"Lord County, the student is wronged, this is the case......" After listening to the heroine's narration, Zhong Yu was anxious to defend himself with a white face, and then told that he was penniless, and vomited blood three liters of tragedy.
But when Zhong Yu's spittle of defense flew, he found that the eyes of the county lord looking at him were always full of deep sympathy, and he didn't seem to be listening to himself at all, Zhong Yu couldn't help but stop his mouth.
Hearing that there was no movement, Zhang Zhixian returned to his senses like a soul and came back to his senses. Zhang Zhixian looked at Zhong Yu with sympathetic eyes and opened his mouth to say the verdict.
Sentenced Zhong Yu to compensate Gao Wan, that is, the woman, the soup medicine cost twenty taels of silver, given that Zhong Yu is currently penniless, give Zhong Yu half a month to raise. If you can't hand it in half a month, you have to play the board.
However, despite this verdict, Zhang Zhixian's eyes were full of sympathy, as if he wanted to tell Zhong Yu that the county had no choice.
After listening to the verdict of the county lord, Zhong Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes, there are people in the yamen, it turns out that they can be so willful!
