Doctor Yu and Mrs. Yu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and Doctor Yu said: "This, there is no reason, it is a little girl, this little girl is suddenly unwilling to marry, saying that Hezhou is too far away, she will miss her parents, and the little girl is filial piety......"

"That's not a reason!" Zuo Shaoyang interrupted him in a cold voice, "Our family is in Hezhou, and we will marry in Hezhou at that time. It was not that she did not know, nor did she express any objection, on the contrary, she was still interested in Hezhou. ”

"The little girl didn't think about it yesterday, she asked others last night, and learned that Hezhou is very remote and remote, and the little girl is delicate, so she really can't bear this hardship, you just look at ......it."

Without waiting for Zuo Shaoyang to speak, Zuo Gui's father's sharp voice came from upstairs: "Zhong'er come up, don't talk nonsense with them!" The dowry has been given, the marriage book is in hand, and his daughter is our Yu family! When the sedan chair greets relatives and can't pick up people, they go straight to the yamen to shout grievances! The official master will beat him and sentence his daughter to our family! I don't want to tear my face and make a fuss like this, but you people in the capital also deceive people too much, so you can only do this! ”

Zuo Shaoyang arched his hand, turned around and went upstairs, followed by Bai Zhihan.

Doctor Yu and Mrs. Yu wept and bowed upstairs with mournful faces, pleading in unison. Finally, he knelt on the ground and pleaded, and the servants behind him also knelt down and pleaded. All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the inn, and many people came out to watch, and after learning the truth, everyone pointed to the Yu family for not being credible, and encouraged the Zuo family to go to the yamen to complain.

Doctor Yu's face was red and white for a while, and his wife cried even more with a handful of snot and tears, but Zuo Gui's father was determined this time and wanted to seek justice, so he ignored it behind closed doors, and Dr. Yu had no choice but to take his wife's servants and carry the dowry and property out of the inn.

In the guest room, Zuo Gui's father sat on the chair with a blue face, holding the tea and drinking, but everyone could see that his mind was not on drinking tea at all, and his hand holding the tea jar was trembling. No one in the room spoke.

At this time, someone knocked lightly at the door, Ding Xiaosan hurriedly ran over to open the door, but it was Qiao Qiaoer standing at the door. An old woman walked in slowly.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "Qiao'er, why did you get up?" ”

"I saw everything just now," Qiao Qiao'er smiled reluctantly, and said to Zuo Gui's father: "Uncle, if the other party decides to repent of the marriage, I'm afraid I won't be afraid of a lawsuit, they are also imperial doctors, I'm worried that there will be someone behind them." Otherwise, I asked my brother to go to the Yamen County Yamen County in the capital to find the county lieutenant Peng, and talk about this matter first, so as not to make the other party mess around. ”

Zuo Gui's father said angrily: "No! I'm just fighting like this, I have a marriage certificate, and I have a dowry, can't I win this lawsuit? Hum! Is there really no royal law? ”

Qiao Qiao'er touched her nose and blushed and didn't know what to do.

Bai Zhihan persuaded in a low voice: "Master, a lawsuit is different from others, if there is no one, I am afraid that the black can be said to be white." ”

Zuo Gui's father was stunned, he was angry and said that, he also knew that in many cases, a lawsuit is a relationship, the other party is the imperial doctor of the emperor of Gaozu, that is, the people around the emperor, do not look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, if you don't find a relationship, this lawsuit may not be able to win. Holding back the anger in his heart, he beckoned: "Miss Qiao'er, come in and talk."

Bai Zhihan went over to help Qiao Qiao'er into the house, sat down next to him, and Zuo Gui said, "Miss Qiao'er, is your brother familiar with that Peng County Lieutenant in Chang'an?" ”

"I don't know each other, but I should be able to speak."

Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was called Jingzhao, and there were two levels of administrative organs, one was Chang'an County, and the other was Jingzhao Mansion. Although Chang'an County belongs to the same county level as other counties, the level of the chief executive is much higher than that of other counties.

The county lieutenant of Chang'an County is responsible for the trial of civil cases of marriage disputes in Chang'an, and the rank of Chang'an county lieutenant is also higher than that of ordinary counties, reaching the level of eight grades. Dali Temple was the highest judicial organ of the Tang Dynasty, from the perspective of litigation, Dali Temple is equivalent to the current Supreme Court, and Chang'an County Ya is equivalent to the grassroots court.

In the Tang Dynasty, general civil cases were heard by the county-level yamen and finally adjudicated in the first instance, and could not be appealed. Of course, civil cases involving officials or with significant impact should be reported to the state government for review, and if they are particularly influential, they may even have to be reported to the "three divisions" composed of the criminal department's squire, Yushi Zhongcheng, and Dali Siqing. Or report to the emperor for a ruling. That's almost theoretical. Therefore, in principle, Dali Temple does not hear civil cases.

Qiao Guan's position is that of Dali, which is equivalent to the president of the criminal division of the Supreme Court. There is no business leadership or guidance relationship with the county lieutenant of Chang'an, and he is also at the same level as the county lieutenant of Chang'an, both of whom are from the eighth grade. However, in the end, it is a colleague, even if you don't know each other, you can still talk.

Zuo Gui's father pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, just ask your brother to help me with this, I know how much it will cost to fight a lawsuit, just open my mouth as much as it costs, no matter how much it costs, I must win this lawsuit!" Out of this bad breath! ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to find my brother."

"Please!"

Qiao Qiao'er instructed Zhou's mother, who took care of her, to call her brother Qiao Guan. Zuo Shaoyang asked Zhou's mother to wait first, and said to his father Zuo Gui: "Father, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. ”

"What's the plan? People are riding on our necks to, what else is there to talk about! - I can tell you, I can't swallow this breath anyway! Don't help me, but don't persuade me! ”

Zuo Shaoyang saw that his father Zuo Gui looked angry, and knew that he was really angry this time, thinking about it, he regretted his marriage twice and three times, even if the mud bodhisattva has three points of rusticism, although Dad Zuo Gui treats people generously, he is not a cowardly person.

However, for Zuo Shaoyang, the matter of regretting marriage is not as unacceptable as Zuo Gui's father, now the society is free to marry, as long as there is no marriage certificate, both men and women can regret breaking up, although it will be sad, but if you get along, you will get together, and if you can't get along, you will break up, modern young people generally think so, no one is afraid that they can't marry and can't marry their daughter-in-law, so they won't feel much insulted.

As for these three girls, Zuo Shaoyang is just a one-sided relationship, and it feels good, and in ancient times, it was not allowed to fall in love and talk slowly, so I married if I thought it was good, anyway, the main purpose was for Miao Peilan and the three of them. As long as you can get along with them. So these three women regretted their marriage, although Zuo Shaoyang was also a little angry, but he was not as angry as Zuo Gui, with his thoughts, since he was not happy with me, he would withdraw from the marriage, and it would be a big deal to find it again. But now that I see Zuo Gui's father so angry, I can understand the reason why he is like this.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't intend to dissuade his father from making a big fuss about this matter, and made a result, saying: "Father, I don't want to persuade you, but I want to say that this matter is not simple, and it must be discussed in the long run!" The so-called plan and then act. ”

Father Zuo Gui looked at Zuo Shaoyang: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Do you think, the previous Gao family, the Li family, and the current Yu family, why did the three families regret it after they were married? We found these three families, not them, so it is impossible that they colluded together to deliberately bully us. As I said before, judging from the process of discussing the marriage, they were also sincere and did not deliberately set a trap to bully us. Judging from the situation of regretting marriage, they seem to have something unspeakable. ”

"You're saying someone is deliberately working against us in the back?" Zuo Gui's father said in a deep voice.

"There is no evidence at the moment, and it is difficult to make such a judgment."

"So what do you say you should do?"

Zuo Shaoyang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "We must find out what went wrong, so let's not be in a hurry to tear our faces first, let's talk to them first, anyway, we have the killer feature of the marriage certificate in hand, and use a lawsuit to force them to tell the real reason for regretting their marriage." Then decide what to do with it. I really can't do it, so I have no choice but to go to court again. This is also the most benevolent and righteous. They were also speechless. ”

"Hmm!" Father Zuo Gui stroked his beard and nodded, "Brother Qiao'er, do you want to say hello first?" ”

"Yes!" Zuo Shaoyang affirmed, "Take precautions, prepare for a lawsuit, and you can also find Old Lady Qu, he is the marriage guarantor, and he has the responsibility to ensure that this marriage is completed smoothly, and he is a six-grade official, so there are more ways." And we have to deliberately let the other party know that we are looking for someone, so that they know that we are not no one in the DPRK, so as to achieve a deterrent effect! ”

Qiao Qiao'er said again: "I am best friends with Zhen Yao, otherwise, I will ask Zhen Yao and talk to his uncle great-ancestor to see if I can help." As long as his uncle and great-grandfather agreed to help, there was nothing that could not be done. ”

"Who is Zhen Yao?" Zuo Gui's father said.

"Zhen Yao is the great-granddaughter of Zhen Quan, the old shopkeeper of our famous Zhen Medical Center in Beijing."

Zuo Guixi said: "Oh? So who is her uncle's great-grandfather? ”

"Taichang Temple Cheng Zhen Liyan Zhen old magic doctor."

Zuo Gui's father gasped, he naturally knew Zhen Liyan's name, and said happily: "Are people willing to help?" ”

"Let's try it, Zhen Liyan's elder brother, that is, the old shopkeeper of Zhen's Medical Hall, Zhen Quan, is a minister of the Sui Dynasty with my great-grandfather, and the relationship between the two families is not bad. Besides, Zhen Liyan's old doctor likes Zhen Yao's great-nephew and granddaughter very much. Zhen Yao is my best friend again, and I also asked her to help me to tell my uncle that she will definitely help me with this,"

Zuo Gui's father didn't know the situation of the Zhen family, but Zuo Shaoyang touched the nail twice, and had a fight with Zhen Quan's eldest son Zhen Xuan, he now heard that the Zhen family had a big head, and he didn't want to pull them in, so he couldn't help and was angry, and it was not good to tell his father that he was angry at Zhen's Medical Center a few days ago. Then he said: "Father, this matter should not be too big first, it will be known to everyone, the other party has no way out, so he can only fight with us, but it is not good, it is better to negotiate privately first, and finally have to go through these relationships." ”
