Chapter 321: It is Difficult for a Qing Official to Decide Family Affairs (Second Update)

Huo Yuanwai was punished by the prefect, which had a great impact on the big and small gentry of Lu'an Mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoMany discerning people immediately donated large sums of money for the people to repair damaged houses. There are also those who open porridge sheds, and what they want is nothing more than a peace of mind.

And Xie Shen is naturally happy like this, as soon as this opening is opened, the pressure on the government will be much less.

It is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, but that also depends on the specific situation.

If it was normal times, Xie Shen would not want to tear his face with these gentry. But now that there are many natural disasters, these gentry are pretending to be crazy and stupid, but they are not willing to give some blood to help the people, but instead change the law to block the government, so Xie Shen can only be ruthless to let them bleed.

Fortunately, after Xie Shen established his authority this time, the Lu'an Hao clan knew that the prefect was not a good bully, and he was at ease for a while.

On this day, Xie Shen was in the back office as usual and reconciled with Xu Qianqian, and when he was enjoying himself, he saw Lu Chongtian hurriedly running in, so he feigned anger and said: "Why are you so flustered." ”

Lu Chongtian scratched his head and said, "My lord, there are people outside the government who complain about grievances. ”

Xie Shen thought it was something, and scolded with a smile: "Master, I am a parent official, isn't it normal for someone to come to the government to complain?" ”

Lu Chongtian said with an embarrassed face: "But this time is unusual." ”

Xie Shen frowned and said, "If you have anything, just say it, don't swallow it." ”

Lu Chongtian said: "This time it was a woman who came to complain, and it was his father-in-law who sued him. ”

Xie Shen's face changed, and he instantly understood why Lu Zongtian had a strange complexion.

"You go on."

Lu Chongtian said hesitantly: "This woman's surname is Li, and her husband's family is the local Han family. I don't know if this woman's life is thin or what, her husband died just after marrying, and she didn't have time to round the house. Everyone else said that it was this woman's life that forced her husband to death. The Han clan is also a prominent family in the local area, so naturally women are not allowed to remarry. The woman had no choice but to keep the festival for her husband. At the age of a flower, but she is a widow, and it is inevitable that she will be lonely......"

Lu Chongtian swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "Later, Han Yang, the patriarch of the Han clan, climbed onto his daughter-in-law's bed and forced his daughter-in-law to serve, do the things under the bed, and enjoy the joy of fish and water. The woman estimated that she could not bear it, so she came forward to sue her father-in-law. ”

Damn, it turned out to be a case of picking up ashes.

Xie Shen was really a little big when he heard this.

It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, after all, this is the family affairs of the Han family, and it is really difficult to judge it clearly.

Xie Shen originally thought that the people of Lu'an were simple, but he never thought that there would be such a thing as picking up ashes.

"My lord, do you take this case or not!"

Xie Shen waved his hand and said: "Naturally, it is accepted, and the bitter masters have all come to the yamen, so there is no reason not to accept it." ”

After thinking for a moment, Xie Shen said, "However, this case is not suitable for public trial. ”

Lu Chongtian nodded again and again: "A certain family understands, adults can rest assured." ”

But it was said that Xie Shen changed his official robe and walked through the second hall to the lobby, sat down in front of the public case, and patted the hall in shock: "Ascend to the hall!" ”

The officials on the left and right immediately poked with water and fire sticks, shouting the word "mighty" in their mouths.

Maybe it's the abdominal voice, but it sounds really majestic.

"Bring the bitter master!"

Xie Shen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Immediately, a servant brought Li Sanniang, the bitter master of this case, to the court.

That Li Sanniang was obviously entering the yamen for the first time, and Deng was very nervous.

She didn't even dare to look up at the prefect who was high above, and immediately bowed down and said, "The women of the people come to see the lord of the blue sky." ”

Xie Shen said lightly: "Get up and talk back." ”

For women and children, Xie Shen really can't harden his heart.

Who knew that Li Sanniang shook her head and said: "If the eldest lord is not the master of the people's wife, the people's wife will never be able to get up." ”

Xie Shen took a deep breath, and said in his heart that this is really an arrogant lord.

"You sue your father-in-law...... Is there any evidence for suing your father-in-law for forcing you to accompany you? ”

This kind of immoral thing is naturally not easy to say directly, and Xie Shen has to say it tactfully.

Li Sanniang paused and said: "The people are all evidence, and the eldest master can know it at a glance." ”

This kind of thing is naturally unfounded, but what does Li Sanniang mean when she says that the evidence is all on her?

Xie Shen was wondering to himself, but Li Sanniang began to take off her shirt.

Xie Shen reacted at this time, and hurriedly stopped: "What are you doing!" Don't act recklessly above the yamen! ”

Li Sanniang just took off her coat, but she was so frightened by Xie Shen that she didn't dare to take it off again, and put her coat on her body again.

Seeing that Li Sanniang's eyes were full of tears, and the spring tide might burst at any time, Xie Shen coughed and said: "The official has already read the paper you wrote, and you said that after your husband died, your father-in-law forced you to observe the festival in order to satisfy his selfish desires, and often asked you to serve in his room, but there are witnesses?" ”

Li Sanniang shook her head and said: "Since the people are married to the Han family, they are all members of the Han family, where can anyone speak for the people's women." ”

Xie Shen frowned slightly, and said in his heart that this is indeed reasonable.

Lu'an on the side, Li Xiaoji, who was also a fellow acquaintance, leaned in front of Xie Shen and whispered: "It's better to ask Wenpo to check whether this Li Sanniang is a virgin first, and at the same time to see if the wounds on her body are really as she said." ”

Xie Shen nodded.

There are no witnesses at the moment, so that's all there is to do.

After thinking about it, Xie Shen patted the wood in surprise and said: "Come on, take the bitter master Li to the ear room and call Wen Po to check." ”

"The people's woman is gracious, Master Xie."

Li Sanniang was very excited, and kowtowed to Xie Shen again and again.

After the Li family was led down, Li Tong beside Xie Shenchong knew: "What does Lord Li think of this matter?" ”

Li Tongzhi said helplessly: "There is no basis for what you say, seeing is believing, let's ask Wen Po to check it and then talk about it." ”

Xie Shen was also speechless. It is very unusual for the Li family to be bullied by his father-in-law for so long before he came to the yamen to complain.

It can only show that the endurance of women is very unusual, and they don't want to fight to the death unless they have to.

After about touching a cup of tea, Li Sanniang was taken back to the hall by the officials. However, this time there was also a Wen Po dedicated to the prefect's yamen.

Xie Shen patted the shocked wood, and asked at Wen Po: "The official asked you, is this Li Sanniang still a virgin?" ”

The stable woman has eaten the Yamen public dinner for more than ten years, and she has already been surprised by this, and immediately replied: "Returning to the eldest lord, the mother-in-law has just been checked, and this woman is no longer a virgin." ”

Xie Shen sighed in his heart.

That Li Sanniang died violently as soon as she married the husband of the Han family, and she didn't have time to do that Dunlun thing, so it stands to reason that Li Sanniang should be a virgin.

And the current fact is that Li Sanniang is no longer a virgin, but it cannot be directly proved that her father-in-law did it.

"In addition, this woman has multiple whip marks on her body, as well as traces of wax and oil dripping."

The woman continued.

Hmph, Xie Shen took a deep breath.

This head of the Han family has too heavy tastes, right, and he still has such a weird habit?
