Chapter 369: Becoming a Defendant

"Why do you talk like that? Do you still have a conscience? When the lock pillar heard this, he immediately stopped doing it, stood up and scolded Qian Juren.

"She's just a servant girl in my family, you can't care if I kill her, it's really nosy!" Qian Juren squinted his eyes and glanced at the lock pillar that was dressed as a long man, and said with disdain.

"Come on, bring this home for me!" Qian Juren ignored the accusation of the lock pillar, and beckoned a few subordinates who came with him and said.

"I'm not going back! I'm not going back, let me die! A few family members stepped forward to drag Haruka, but Haruka shrank back in fear.

Luo Jian kept watching coldly from the side, and when he saw that Chunxiang was afraid of being like this, he said to the lock pillar: "lock the pillar, take this girl to the inn, Zhang Long, you go buy a set of clothes." ”

"Who are you, are you bored and want to take care of my family's affairs?" Qian Juren pointed at Luo Jian and asked, and several family members also stepped forward to forcibly drag Chunxiang back.

Luo Jian glanced at Qian Juren coldly, ignored him, and said to the lock pillar: "Don't you put the girl on your back?" ”

The lock pillar stepped forward and lifted a few family members who were about to pull Chunxiang strongly, and carried Chunxiang on their backs, several family members stepped forward to stop them, Zhang Long came over and stroked with both hands, and scratched a few family members aside.

"Shopkeeper, we have to take care of this?" Huang Zongxi asked Luo Jian with some hesitation beside him.

"I have to take care of this, let's go." Luo Jian said a word and walked towards the outside of the crowd.

Qian Juren saw that a few family members were not the opponents of a few businessmen at all, so he was so anxious that he jumped on the spot, "In broad daylight." How dare you rob the daughters of the people? I'm going to Hangzhou to sue you! ”

"Go sue!" Luo Jian said coldly.

"Brother Li. You've seen it all today, and you're going to come to the court and be a witness for me. Qian Juren said to the taxi man with a folding fan.

"Brother Qian, definitely, definitely, let's go to Hangzhou Mansion?" The scholar surnamed Li was not interested in saving people, but he was very interested in Qian Juren to sue Luo Jian and others.

Yesterday, I calculated that I would come to visit the West Lake today, and the inn where Luo Jian and the others stayed was not too far from the West Lake, and the few people returned to the inn after a while.

asked for a guest room and found the shopkeeper's family to settle Chunxiang, and Luo Jian and the others began to ask what happened.

Haruka didn't want to say it at first, she just kept crying.

"This girl, I think these guest officers are not ordinary people, if you have any grievances and grievances, just say it, maybe they can help you." The shopkeeper's daughter-in-law had some insight, and as soon as she looked at Luo Jian and the others, she knew that they were not ordinary businessmen, so she persuaded Chunxiang.

While Chunxiang was crying and talking, Luo Jian finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that Chunxiang is the maid of this money-raising family, and it is the kind that signed a contract to sell herself. In other words, Chunxiang is the slave maid in the Qian Ju family.

In the past, Haruka was young. Qian Juren didn't have the idea of beating her, but as Chunxiang grew up and became more and more beautiful, Qian Juren began to hit her idea.

Since last month, Qian Juren wanted to take Chunxiang as a concubine, Chunxiang was unwilling to die, which annoyed Qian Juren, and scolded Chunxiang every day, Chunxiang really couldn't bear it, so he ran to the West Lake to throw water.

"You mother-in-law, you are so talkative, can we afford to provoke this money?" The innkeeper saw that his daughter-in-law kept persuading and said beside him.

"Oh, who is this money lifter, why can't you afford to mess with it?" Luo Jian asked.

"Alas, this guest officer, it's not that he doesn't say it, he really doesn't dare to say it." The innkeeper waved his hand and said.

"What dare you not say, isn't it that his family is rich and powerful? His family has 10,000 acres of fertile land, and a brother is an official in Hangzhou. You're still a man, and you're so timid. The shopkeeper's daughter-in-law was spicy, pointing to the shopkeeper and said.

"Shopkeeper, it's still a little troublesome for us to take care of this matter." Huang Zongxi said beside him.

"What's the trouble?" Luo Jian asked, he knew that Huang Zongxi was not afraid of money, and he must have meant something else.

"The key is that Miss Chunxiang signed a death contract, and I'm afraid the government won't be able to take care of it." Huang Zongxi sighed and said.

"Brother Taichong, can this kind of master family who has signed a death contract not treat them as human beings?" Luo Jian asked a little strangely.

"We haven't issued a law in this area yet, according to the previous Da Ming law, as long as no one is killed, the main family can't control the law, not to mention that today is Miss Chunxiang jumping into the lake by herself, and that Qian Juren doesn't have to bear any responsibility." Huang Zongxi explained.

Hearing Huang Zongxi say this, Luo Jian felt that the current legal construction was indeed lagging behind, and he had to improve all kinds of laws as soon as possible after going back, but how to solve the matter in front of him, Luo Jian really didn't think about it.

"Shopkeeper, if the money guy really sues us, we can only act at the opportunity." Huang Zongxi saw that Luo Jian shook his head and did not speak, and continued.

"This master, this is Chunxiang's life, thank you for the rescue, Chunxiang also wants to open, it's a big deal to be a concubine for him." Chunxiang leaned on the bed, and seeing that Luo Jian was a little embarrassed, she spoke.

"What's not to die? If none of our shopkeepers can save you, then no one in the world can save you. Hearing Haruka say this, Suozhu said with a big grin beside him.

Hearing Suozhu's words, the innkeeper and his daughter-in-law turned their heads to look at Luo Jian again, and they really couldn't figure out what was different about this person, this Chang Sui spoke in such a big tone.

Just as a few people were talking, there was a commotion outside the room, and several officials walked into the room.

"Is it just a few of you who robbed the people's daughters? I've taken it all! A leader-looking official pointed at Luo Jian and the others and said.

Seeing that a few officials were about to take someone without asking questions, Luo Jian was a little angry, and was about to speak, but the lock post next to him was gone.

"Take what? Take you big-headed ghost! The pillar stepped forward and threw the leader of the official mission aside.

Seeing that the lock pillar was so bold, the leader of the official mission felt a little strange, and raised his eyes to look at Luo Jian and the others. There was some doubt in my heart.

"Several. Qian Juren sued you in Hangzhou Mansion. said that you robbed the people's daughters, you all come with me. The leader of the official mission may feel that something is wrong with the situation, and he said with a fist at the lock pillar.

"Shopkeeper, why don't I go, you don't have to go." Huang Zongxi said.

"Let's go and see, this sister-in-law, please hold on to Miss Chunxiang and lock the pillar. You go and find the car. Luo Jian wanted to see how the Hangzhou Mansion tried the case.

When Luo Jian and the others went downstairs, the lock pillar had already found a carriage, the proprietress helped Chunxiang into the carriage, and Luo Jian and the others walked towards the yamen of Hangzhou Mansion under the leadership of several officials.

The yamen is not too far, after two streets, it will be there, to Luo Jian's surprise, the yamen of Hangzhou Mansion is no different from what he saw before, there are still two messengers standing at the door, and the two big drums are also standing next to them.

The leader of the official mission who took the person walked in first, and Luo Jian was about to follow in a few steps. was stopped by two messengers with water and fire sticks in their hands, "Wait outside." You can't go in until the master passes you. ”

"Summoning the accused!" There was a shout from the yamen, and the two officials said to Luo Jian and the others: "The master sent you in." ”

As soon as he walked into the yamen, Luo Jian was a little dumbfounded, there was a person wearing a Ming Dynasty official uniform sitting in the hall, obviously not taking the liberty of the territory, there was a row of officials standing on both sides of the hall, and he was also holding a water and fire stick in his hand, and when Luo Jian and a few people went to the hall, they actually put the water and fire stick on the ground and shouted in unison, "Might!" ”

Luo Jian had the feeling of traveling through time and space again, and at the same time, a deep sense of frustration also came up.

It has been more than five years since a few of them came to this era, and they always felt that they had changed a lot in this era, and when they saw everything in front of him, Luo Jian felt as if he had never done anything.

Just when Luo Jian was a little distracted, the official in the hall slapped the startled wood in his hand and said loudly: "Who is in the hall?" Why don't you kneel in court? ”

"Why kneel, why don't they kneel?" Suozhu pointed to Qian Juren and Li Juren who were standing next to him and said.

"They have merit and fame, of course they don't have to kneel, can they be famous?" The officials in the hall said loudly.

"your head! Don't you know that the Metropolitan Governor's Office has issued an order to abolish the prostration? As soon as the lock pillar heard the fire, he pointed at the officials in the hall and scolded.

"You coarse man, you dare to roar in the court, despise your own officials, come on, give me twenty boards first." The official in the hall took out a sign from a tube on the table, threw it down the hall and shouted.

"Stop! Brother Taichong, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I would never have imagined that there would still be such a trial now. I don't care who you are, you send someone to find me Mao Bijiang! Luo Jian saw that the officials in the hall were about to beat people when they opened their mouths, and they were also angry at that time.

"The shopkeeper, this official looks at his official uniform as a general judgment, and he really has no good theory, so it's better to find Mao Bijiang." Huang Zongxi carefully looked at the officials in the hall and said to Luo Jian.

"Bold, the name of the master of Futai is also something you can say casually? If I don't beat your killer today, you still don't know what the yamen does! Several people didn't expect that this general judgment in the hall was actually a mallet, and when they heard Luo Jian's words, they all said it, and pointed at Luo Jian and a few people and shouted.

"Good! The master is used to it, and he can't get down, right? Luo Jian laughed angrily.

The master sitting next to him still had some eyesight, so he quickly put down the brush in his hand and ran to the ear of the general judge to say a few words.

"You go and invite Master Futai." The head of the court said.

"You go and carry a chair here, Miss Chunxiang's body has not recovered yet, and she can't stand for a long time." Luo Jian said to the master sitting next to him.

"Yo, just snatched it back and served it as an aunt and grandmother?" Qian Juren stood next to him and listened, and stepped forward and said in a weird manner.

When the master heard Luo Jian speak, he raised his eyes and looked at a few people carefully, and suddenly thought of something, and the official in front of the court said, "You bring a few more chairs, please sit down first." ”

The general judge sitting in the hall heard the master say this, and was about to get angry, when he saw that the master gave him a few looks, although he didn't understand what it meant, he stopped and didn't get angry again.

"What's your last name?" The official sent three chairs, and Luo Jian asked the daughter-in-law of the innkeeper to help Chunxiang sit down first, and he and Huang Zongxi also sat down, and then he looked up and asked the officials in the hall.

It seems that the master still has some face in front of Qian Tongju, and when he saw Luo Jian and the others sitting down, although there was a look of dismay on his face, he didn't say anything again.

"My official's surname is Qian, what do you want?" Tong Juan glared at Luo Jian, it seemed that he was still a little dissatisfied with the master inviting Luo Jian and the others to sit down.

"Then what is your relationship with Qian Juren?" Luo Jian then asked.

"Ahh Although he is my Qian family, he has already come out of the five suits and is not among the avoidance, why are you asking this? Qian Tongju's tone was already a little unkind.

The master sitting next to him looked at Qian Tongju and felt nothing, he couldn't help but shake his head, and stepped forward to remind him, but he was afraid of burning himself, so he only thought to himself in his heart, I am afraid that his general judgment is going to come to an end.
