64. Skillfully judging the family property

The universe is mysterious, so people are in awe of him, but human beings are not blindly in awe, they will draw from it what they need and want to get knowledge, in the eyes of the ancients, everything in the world comes from nothingness, this is 'one', and 'life two', Taiji yin and yang, and 'yin' and 'yang', are not only opposites, but also complementary, must treat each other, each other's situation, rely on each other, they are not only the two opposites of the form of things, but also the development of things in the development of the connection An indispensable link.

Because of Ma Feng and others' training in these government officials to arrest quickly, although they are still not as good as the lowest level of the six door case handling personnel, but compared with those in the prefecture, there is not much difference in the speed of arrest, no, before the time of a day, these officials have already handed over the testimony of many witnesses.

It turned out that Li Hongsheng's father used to be a wealthy businessman, and when he didn't recruit concubines at the beginning, he only had one daughter, so he chose a son-in-law for his daughter to join the Li family. Unexpectedly, the rich businessman later accepted another concubine, and this concubine also gave birth to a big fat boy for him, named Li Hongsheng. The son-in-law felt that his foundation was deep, so he looked at his aunt and brother-in-law evilly, and his face was murderous.

The rich man has long seen it in his eyes, but the wood is already in the boat, and even he himself is helpless against his son-in-law, and every time he thinks: As long as my little son grows up, it will be fine. But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and when his youngest son Li Hongsheng was only three or five years old, this rich businessman was seriously ill, so he couldn't afford to be sick, and seeing that he was about to die, he had to call his son-in-law to his bedside and said: "Xiao'er Hongsheng was born to a concubine, so I can't hand over my inheritance to him." You have been in my family for so many years, and how much effort you have made before and after, I naturally look at it in my heart, and this property is naturally yours. As for the red mother and son, I just hope that you can keep them fed and clothed, and don't let them starve to death on the streets, you have accumulated yin virtue! ”

After listening to what the rich businessman said, the son-in-law's heart, which had been hanging for so many years, finally fell to the ground, and he was naturally overjoyed, but this was just a verbal promise, and the housekeeper was the only one on the side. After speaking, he signaled the housekeeper to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the housekeeper went to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and carefully helped the rich merchant to let him write, only to see the rich businessman write on the paper: "Li Hong gave birth to my son, and the family wealth is given to my son-in-law, and outsiders are not allowed to fight." The son-in-law kicked away the will, and since then, although it has been said that his aunt and brother-in-law are not as happy as before, the son-in-law can keep them fed and clothed, which is also very good.

After the rich businessman waited for his son-in-law to go out, he asked the housekeeper to call the concubine and Li Hongsheng, and the concubine stood in front of the rich businessman's bed, and after learning about it, she looked at her underage child, and only shed tears and sighed. The wealthy merchant quietly told the concubine: "When the red rope becomes an adult, as long as there are officials who are smart and good at judging cases, go and report the case, and the master of Komeito will judge by himself!" After sending the concubine and the child away, the rich merchant gave the housekeeper a large sum of silver, which was a sum of money he had saved in case of emergency, and now that he was about to die, he couldn't care about the money, just hoped that he could help Li Hongsheng get the money back home, no need to do anything, just be a witness when the time comes, of course the housekeeper agreed, so he accepted the money, and soon after, the rich merchant went west.

After the rich merchant went west, the son-in-law wanted to send the housekeeper who knew about this matter away, but then he thought that he would be very busy without his help in the house, so he let the housekeeper stay and use it, and these testimonies were all said by the housekeeper and several housekeepers, and he personally pressed his handprints to prove that what he said was true.

Looking at the testimony on this table, Zhao Xuan nodded, of course he knew what to do, but he just wanted to further understand the true image that should be, now that it is really like Dabai, Zhao Xuan should also decide the case, and immediately called the official of the palace and immediately ascended to the court.

With Zhao Xuan's "ascending to the hall", this scene should also end. And at this moment, outside the court, there are many ordinary people, Zhao Xuan is too good-looking, even if it is such a trivial matter, he has to pretend in front of people who don't understand, the so-called fame and fortune are both gained, fame comes first, and profit comes.

Immediately, Li Hong's mother and son, his brother-in-law and sister were brought up to the court, and the four of them shouted in unison: "The grass people meet the adults!" ”

Zhao Xuan nodded, didn't say anything, patted the shocked wood in his hand, and motioned to the master to read the butler's confession to the four of them, originally Li Hongsheng's brother-in-law was full of confidence, but listening to the butler's confession, the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and after listening to it, he was already depressed.

Zhao Xuan smiled slightly and looked at Li Hongsheng's brother-in-law, "Do you still have something to say?" ”

Li Hongsheng's brother-in-law lowered his head in shame, and suddenly, he burst out laughing, Zhao Xuan was puzzled, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Li Hongsheng's brother-in-law smiled a little sinisterly: "Yes, I did force the old man to give me all the family property, but I have a will!" Since there is a will, Lord Prefect, what can you do to me? ”

Zhao Xuan laughed, this laughter was full of contempt for him, and suddenly, the laughter stopped, Zhao Xuan patted the wood in shock, picked up the will and read: "Li Hongsheng, my son also, the family wealth is gone." My son-in-law and outsiders are not allowed to fight. (The ancients didn't use punctuation, so sentences can be read at will.)

When the son-in-law heard this, he hurriedly defended as if he had been poured a scoop of cold water on his head.

Zhao Xuancai ignored his defense and asked him: "According to the 'outsider' written in your father-in-law's will, the son-in-law is not an outsider, is it possible that his own son can still be an outsider?" You're really stupid! At that moment, Zhao Xuan awarded all the family property to Li Hongsheng, and the people standing outside the public court applauded when they heard it.

And Li Hongsheng's brother-in-law and sister are sitting on the sidelines, after all, the son-in-law who joined the Qin and Han dynasties is inferior, let alone now?

After a long while, Li Hongsheng's brother-in-law knelt down in front of Li Hongsheng, took his arm, and said flatteringly: "Brother, look at it, your brother-in-law and I treat you well on weekdays, and now that your sister is still pregnant, I promise that I will not fight the idea of family property in the future, don't drive me away with your sister, okay?" And his sister knelt on the side, looking at Li Hongsheng with some guilt.

Li Hongsheng was a little embarrassed, and turned his head to the prefect Zhao Xuan, hoping that the prefect could help him come up with ideas.

Seeing Li Hongsheng looking at himself, Zhao Xuan hurriedly turned his head, patted the wood, shouted "retreat" and left, it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, this kind of thing involving human feelings and sophistication Zhao Xuan is really difficult to judge, so Zhao Xuan retreated to the yamen, let them deal with this kind of thing by themselves!
