Therefore, after seeking justice for themselves, the people, led by this group of injured people, were concerned about Cheng Shanchang, the real victim.

"My lord Shengming, we are a hundred of us agree to your punishment, but this bitter lord is not just us..."

"Yes, my lord, think about it, if we weren't here today, wouldn't this group of gangsters who want to rob other people's property succeed?"

"That's right, my lord, blatant robbery is a felony, and you can't let them go just because they're clansmen..."

"What if we are not here in the future, what if they still come to rob us? Cheng Shanchang, how can a weak woman withstand these more than 100 strong men? It's not like you're going to have to be robbed of your property..."

"Even if it's not good, then you have to let them guarantee that they won't come to rob it in the future!"

"Right, yes, I have to write a guarantee or something..."

。。。

This, this...

The county order still doesn't agree with letting a family's property leak out, but he can't help but listen to the voices of so many people, and there is also this provision in the law, and the behavior of the Cheng clan is not legal.

As a parent and magistrate, he must listen to the voices of the people, obey the provisions of the law, and not judge cases arbitrarily because of his own will.

Therefore, he summoned the chief Cheng Shan.

"Where is Cheng Shanchang?"

"The folk girl is here."

Cheng Yuan walked out of the crowd and waved at him.

For this Cheng Shanchang, the county order has also heard of it.

Previously, when she was on the list of martyrs, her name was on it.

He only knew that the other party had set up a girls' school, and that he had a disagreement with his clansmen, and that there was a blood stabbing book, and he didn't know anything else.

Looking at this well-informed woman, the county magistrate thought for a while before asking, "I don't know what you mean?" ”

"Back to my lord, the family property of the people's daughters is all left by her father, and now it is all in the name of the people's daughters, how to exercise it, it is up to me to make my own decisions, even the clansmen are not qualified to put their beaks, let alone rob them."

"But you don't seem to have any heirs, and in a hundred years' time, what will happen to this great inheritance? It's better to belong to the clan than to flow into the hands of outsiders, right? The prefectural order seemed to try to convince her.

"My lord, this is a personal matter of the people's daughters, but it is not their responsibility, and your lordship should have heard, their purpose is to rob the people's daughters of all their family property and divide them!"

Hearing this, the county magistrate stroked his beard and persuaded, "This official knows that it is indeed they who are too extreme, but what they are worried about is not unreasonable, and you are not young now, and this matter should indeed be considered." ”

Cheng Yuan made a gesture to him again, "My lord, the people will think about this matter clearly, and this is a personal matter of the people's daughters, and it is another matter for them to come to the door to snatch it, that is, your lordship, you have to deal with it." ”

Seeing that she had been staring at this matter, the county magistrate simply asked her, "Then I don't know how Chief Cheng wants the official to deal with them?" After all, they are all your relatives, so do you want to sue your relatives?

You must know that many of these people are older than you, all of them are your relatives and elders, as the saying goes, 'relatives hide each other', and you not only do not hide it for them, but you have to accuse them, it is for great unfilial piety! ”

"My lord, the folk girl is not accusing them, the folk girl can not pursue this matter today, but I am afraid that they will rob it again in the future, as long as the folk girl makes a guarantee that they will not come to commit crimes in the future, and no longer covet the private property in my hands", Cheng Yuan also said bluntly.

"Well..."China

The county order did not agree to her, and only held her short beard to think.

After a while, I saw him persuade him with kind words, "Cheng Shanchang, the official calls you the mountain chief, which is to admire you for establishing this huge academy, and you, as a gentleman, have to teach and educate people."

Breaking off from your relatives is not filial, leaving the inheritance of your ancestors in the hands of others, and even more disrespectful and unfilial to your ancestors, how can you set an example for many disciples? ”

"My lord, when the great-ancestor of the people's daughter split up, there was only half of the old house that almost collapsed, and there were five acres of thin fields, and he gave all of these to the great-uncle.

My great-grandfather went out alone, and then this family business was expanded by my grandfather, which did not have half of the credit of the clan, and our family often gave back to the clan, even if this industry was in the hands of outsiders, the folk girls did not feel ashamed of these clansmen. ”

The county magistrate asked again, "Then don't you feel ashamed of your great-grandfather, grandfather and father?" ”

"What my lord said is very true, therefore, the folk girl plans to have a daughter from the descendants of her great-uncle, and I will hand over the family business to her to inherit after a hundred years, so that I can give an explanation to my ancestors and great-ancestors."

Having a stepchild can solve the problem of outflow of family property, but the county order is very puzzled, "Since you have a stepchild, why don't you have a stepman, but a stepwoman?" Aren't you afraid that this business will be buried in the hands of the girl again? ”

"My lord, what about the girl, the girl will take care of her when the time comes. Adults also know that the women's academy is a women's college, and it is not suitable for men to take over, and whether the people's women want a female baby or a male baby, they should have the right to choose, right? ”

"That's okay", although he still thinks that recruiting will confuse the bloodline, and it is better to have a stepson, but this is indeed someone else's family matter, if she insists on doing so, outsiders can't get involved.

"Then Lord Lao asked the people of the people to make a guarantee, lest they persecute the daughters of the people for similar reasons in the future. And my daughter's family of Zengbozu, who is closest to her, also came out with five suits, and they have already come out with five suits, and they still come to point fingers, which is really undeserved. ”

Knowing that this woman had already made concessions, and the county order was not good to force her anymore, he nodded in agreement, "Yes." ”

"Then can this contract be written by the people herself?"

"Naturally."

With permission, Cheng Yuan asked people to bring in the bookcase and write three contracts.

It's just that when the county magistrate took the contract and read it, he couldn't help frowning, and his heart was full of shock.

"You, are you trying to break with your clan?"

"My lord, don't you know, it's not been a day or two days for these people to plot against my industry, but for more than ten years..."

Cheng Yuan told the county magistrate everything they had done in the past ten years, especially the things that the clan had made a fuss at the homes of those rich families and threatened them, of course she gave them all the things she had done.

Hearing that the people of the Cheng clan dared to raise the clan to make trouble, the county magistrate didn't have a good impression of them, this is simply! It's just a bunch of people!

Noticing his ugly face, Cheng Yuan continued, "Just as these people said, in order to take away my property, they have been tossing for more than ten years, and they have never stopped, how can they stop because of this failure?" Next time, what should the folk girl do? ”

The county magistrate pondered for a while, and then asked the official to arrest an older member of the Cheng clan again, and after intimidating him, the result of the question was the same as what Cheng Yuan said.

"Cheng, then the official will come to be a witness for you, so that these insatiable people will not harass you again!"

After saying that, he signed his name on the contract, and even stamped the official seal in order to deter these Diao people.

Then he asked people to read the contract to the Cheng clan, and regardless of whether they agreed or not, they directly asked everyone to press their fingerprints.

There are officials watching from the side with boards, and there are some of them who don't agree?

After the contract was signed, the county magistrate fined them one year of hard labor and ten taels of silver on the grounds that these people gathered to make trouble, and saw if they would dare to be lawless in the future!
