Yang Qiuchi listened to Wang Ke's screams outside the lobby, and the anger in his heart disappeared a little, thinking to himself who this Li Chengming was, even a porter was so arrogant, it was really amazing. Turning his head and asking the attendant Changfu behind him: "What is the backstage of this Li Chengming and Li Yuanwai?" ”

Chang Fu originally wanted to stop Yang Qiuchi from being executed, but seeing that Yang Qiuchi was so angry that his head was smoking, he had already ordered a fight, how could he refute the face of the big man in front of the court, so he didn't say anything. Now listening to Yang Qiuchi's question, he said cautiously: "Master, this Li Chengming and Li Yuanwai came to visit the lord with the squires yesterday, he is from a human background, and has a deep friendship with Geng Fenggang, the governor of Zhenyuan Prefecture, and also has a relationship with Hu Guangbu political envoy Qian Daren, who is a distant relative of Qian Bu's political envoy, and has a very close relationship. ”

Yang Qiuchi smiled dumbly, it turned out that his backstage was Qian Bu's political envoy, no wonder he was so arrogant, if he hadn't dealt with Qian Bu's political envoy before, he would really be shocked when he heard that this person's backstage was the provincial governor.

How could the political envoy of Qian Bu have such an arrogant relative? However, it may not be that Qian Buzheng made this relative, Li Chengming, and Li Yuanwai arrogant, but that this porter Wang Ke pulled the banner as a tiger skin, and the toad went on the highway -- he was stunned and filled with off-road little jeeps.

Yang Qiuchi can't remember what this Li Yuanwai looks like, there were too many squires who came yesterday, and he couldn't remember it for a while, so he couldn't tell which one was Li Chengming, but it still depends on the owner to beat the dog, or find a chance to meet this Li Chengming alone, to see how this master is, if he is as arrogant as this Wang Ke, then be less polite, just teach him a lesson for Qian Bu's political envoy.

Yang Qiuchi listened to the board outside, picked up the board and looked at it, and then remembered that in addition to playing the board, he also had to divorce.

Of course, both men and women must be present at this judgment for divorce, however, Master Jin has already told her some common sense of ascending to the court, and the law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that in addition to denunciating serious crimes such as rebellion, rebellion, unfilial piety, murder and injury, and theft, women are not allowed to be the "head" of the prosecution, and can only be filed and appeared in court by their fathers, brothers, and grandchildren, which is called "hugging the complaint". Although women are not deprived of their right to respond to lawsuits and testify, they are not summoned in actual justice, except in cases of murder, theft, and murder.

Therefore, Yang Qiuchi cannot directly send Li Chengming's niece to the court, nor can he send Li Chengming himself to the court, because he is a person who is a lifter and has the right to be exempted from litigation, and if he really needs to appear in court, he can entrust others to participate in the lawsuit instead.

Yang Qiuchi could only issue a license plate and ask Soap Li to go to Li Yuanwai's house with a license to inform him that he would dissolve his niece's marriage with the porter Wang Ke, and let him send someone to participate in the lawsuit and listen to the verdict.

After the one hundred and twenty boards were played, Wang Ke had already passed out several times, his buttocks were blurred with blood, and he didn't even have the strength to cry. The onlookers were talking a lot, and they all said that the new county order was really powerful, and even the people from Li Chengming's and Li Yuan's foreign families were correct. This time, the eyes of the common people and soap officials looking at Yang Qiuchi were full of awe.

The soaps put Wang Ke in the lobby and put him on the wooden flail, ready to wait for the old man to announce the divorce after a while, and then drag him out to show the public. At this time, the soap Li who was sent out had already passed the housekeeper of Li Chengming's house with a license, this housekeeper's surname was Xiao, he was an old man, and he went up to the lobby to kowtow to Yang Qiuchi, and said:

"Lord Yang, this doorman Wang Ke deceived our master, saying that he did not get married, our lord took pity on him and was lonely, so he kindly married his niece to him, but I didn't expect him to be married, our lord heard that Wang Ke actually did such a common thing, very angry, and asked the county lord to dissolve the marriage between the old man's niece and Wang Ke, and punished him severely, the lord has announced that he will be dismissed and driven out of the Li family. From now on, his affairs will have nothing to do with our Li family. ”

This is a bit unexpected by Yang Qiuchi, it seems that this Li Chengming does not protect his shortcomings, and he is quite reasonable. At the moment, he said: "Wang Ke has a wife to marry, according to the provisions of our "Daming Law", the county announced that the marriage between Wang Ke and Li Yuanwai's niece will be dissolved. He was put on a flail for two months. ”

Li Daniu kowtowed and thanked Lord Qingtian for being the master.

At this moment, an old woman's sad voice came from outside the lobby: "Husband! Husband! Then several more children cried out, "Daddy! ~Father! ”

Li Daniu turned around and shouted: "Sister! How did you guys get here! ”

It turned out that this Wang Ke's original partner had been waiting outside the yamen for the news of his brother Li Daniu's lawsuit, and heard that Wang Ke was beaten by the county lord inside with one hundred and twenty boards, in the end, the husband and wife were deeply in love, and they took a few children into the yamen, and sure enough, they saw Wang Ke being beaten and lying on top of the lobby, and he also brought a wooden flail to show the public, and called out in a hurry.

This Wang Ke learned that he was dismissed by Li Yuanwai, and was beaten again, and was also dissolved from his marriage with Li Yuanwai's niece, he was ashamed and ashamed, and suddenly heard the call of the lady outside the lobby, and couldn't help shouting sadly: "Lady! Son! ”

Yang Qiuchi instructed that the mother and son could come to the lobby. After Soap Li went out to inform, the old woman ran to the hall with a few children, supported Wang Ke, stroked his bloody buttocks, and cried bitterly.

Wang Ke saw that he was unkind and unkind, and he had a wife to marry, but now the original partner still had a deep affection for him, and he was ashamed, and he couldn't help crying.

Seeing that they were crying desolately, Yang Qiuchi patted the shocked wood, stopped their crying, and said: "Wang Ke, you are ruthless to their mother and son, their mother and son are still righteous to you, are you still unrepentant?" ”

Wang Ke cried: "The villain is guilty, and after the villain goes back, he must change his past and live well with his mother and children." If there is a recidivism, heaven and earth will not tolerate it! ”

"Good!" Yang Qiuchi said with a smile: "Since you have repented, the official has exempted you from the shackles to show the public, you can go back with them!" ”

Wang Ke's wife was overjoyed, and pulled the child together to knock Yang Qiuchi a few times.

After the soap servants removed the wooden flail from Wang Ke's neck, Li Daniu leaned over and picked up Wang Ke, and the old woman and child supported him behind and retreated from the hall.

The case was successfully concluded, and the onlookers were full of admiration for Yang Qiuchi's handling of the case.

Next is a dispute over arrears, in which the plaintiff Yao Dazhuang sued the defendant Zhang Erbao for owing five copper coins and failing to repay them for half a year.

Yang Qiuchi instructed the original defendant to go to court.

The defendant Zhang Erbao was an old farmer in his fifties, thin as firewood, wearing a pair of straw sandals on a cold day, which were covered with mud, a gray beard, a black-gray face, and some cataracts in his eyes.

A white-bearded farmer kowtowed to himself, Yang Qiuchi was a little unbearable, but now that he was the county lord and represented the imperial court, he couldn't be polite. However, Yang Qiuchi still kept his tone as calm as possible and asked, "Zhang Erbao, do you owe the plaintiff Yao Dazhuang any money?" ”

"Back to the master, the old man owes him five times with interest, which I borrowed from him at the end of the year before last when I really couldn't open the pot. But I'm penniless now, I really can't afford to pay it back, can I delay it for a while, and when this year's crops are harvested, I will definitely pay it back. ”

Yao Dazhuang shouted: "What? Wait until after the autumn to return? No way! Return it now! ”

"I really don't have any money, I have no children or daughters, my eyes can't see clearly, I can't do anything in the field, I rely on the neighbors to help me, I really don't have the money to pay back."

Yao Dazhuang said: "No money? If you don't have money to sell your grass house and that rotten field, it's still worth five dollars! ”

"I can't sell it, I just have that grass house and that piece of land that is only enough to make ends meet, if I sell it, how can I live......"

That Yao Dazhuang's eyes glared: "It's my business!" All I have to do is get my money back! ”

One of the two was forced to ask for debts, and the other begged for a slow time.

It seems that this is a simple debt dispute, and it is a matter of course to repay debts, but what can I do if the debtor has no money to repay? Even if it is left on hold, although the debtor has a house and land, if it is a necessity of life, according to the judicial interpretation, it can request seizure, but cannot apply for enforcement.

Yang Qiuchi patted the stunned wood: "Okay, don't make any noise!" Since the defendant has no money to pay back now, if he forcibly sells his house and land, it will be equivalent to the death of others, how can this be done, so be it, wait for the defendant Zhang Erbao to harvest the crops after the autumn and then return to you. Retire! ”

"Yes, the eldest lord ......" With Wang Ke's experience in front of him, this Yao Daxiang didn't dare to talk back, but he hesitated for a moment, and still said boldly: "The eldest lord is in charge, and it is okay to pay back this money slowly, but how can the eldest lord ...... Why don't you hit him on the board? ”

"What board?" Yang Qiuchi asked with some confusion.

"If he doesn't pay back the money for three months overdue, of course he has to play the board! Last year, I sued him for not paying back the money on time, and Mr. Jiang of Jiangzhi County beat him up. ”

Yang Qiuchi was even more puzzled, how could he still say this? Until now, if the debtor has the ability to pay off but deliberately conceals the transfer of property and refuses to carry out the court judgment, he will be judicially detained or even investigated for criminal responsibility.

Yang Qiuchi picked up the form, only to see that Master Jin really drafted the judgment on it, which was to sentence the defendant Zhang Erbao to repay the money after the autumn and give him 10 lashes.

It turns out that the "Da Ming Law" does stipulate: "Those who have owed private debts for a long time, default and fail to repay, more than five times, three months in violation, and ten lashes." One additional class per month. Forty lashes for sin. ”

Since Master Jin has written like this, it must be true, although Yang Qiuchi is very puzzled in his heart, he can't help it, so he has to say: "Zhang Erbao will pay back the money after the autumn, and he will be flogged for ten years." ”

A few soaps came up and wanted to drag that Zhang Erbao, Zhang Erbao was probably used to being beaten, knew the rules, and walked to the platform with his back hunched over. Yang Qiuchi looked a little unbearable, and after gesturing to the soap subordinates to beckon them over, he said in a low voice: "The old man's body is not good, and he has to do it, just pretend." ”

The soaps nodded in understanding, and came to the outside of the platform, the small bamboo board was held high, and it made a whirring sound when it was drawn, and it crackled on the meat, but the old man didn't feel much pain.

But this old man didn't know how to pretend, so Yao Dazheng quickly saw the fame, and ran up to the hall and shouted: "Hey! Wrong! Big man, they didn't really fight! How does this count? You're cheating! ”
