Chapter 69: Above the Court
"The county lord has arrivedβ"
Hey?
The county lord?
The courtyard fell silent in an instant.
Everyone's eyes looked at the gate of the courtyard, only to see a dense crowd of heads rushing to the door.
It seems that the movement in this courtyard has attracted a lot of people.
"County, the county master's message has arrived!"
A servant squeezed out of the crowd and said to Qu Qingliu, "Qu Zhutou, the county magistrate asked you to bring everyone back to the government to try this case." β
"Got it."
How could the county magistrate know about this?
Qu Qingliu didn't move his brows, only waved his hand, and asked Xiao Liu and them to disperse the crowd of onlookers eating melons.
He was also taken aback just now, and thought that the county master was really here.
However, he only manages in the government office on weekdays, so how could he come to this small farmer's house on a whim, but he is too worried.
"The little one went back to the county master first."
The official hurriedly took his leave.
"Mother, don't be afraid, let's go to the county master to reason, and see how they join forces to slander us!"
Chen Qin's couldn't care about the hot pain of the slap mark on his face, and he was busy shouting again at this time.
There was a hint of smugness between the words.
Someone deliberately asked them to bring people, how could they ignore them!
Presumably, the county magistrate is also taking care of it.
Turning his gaze to that cheap girl, the stupid son who sold you to the head of the next village was cheaper for you, and she was angry with her when she knew that she would sell it to those poor and white old bachelors!
The resentment in this chest can't be suppressed.
She didn't think that with her skills, a little girl couldn't handle it.
"Why don't you come and help me?"
Chen Ersheng has no good airway, this stinky woman is open-mouthed, she is really pulling back.
Let her coax the little girl to go back, but when she comes up, the stinky girl has to scream, and the little girl can follow them.
And his mother, obviously twenty taels of silver has arrived, and I don't know how to say a good word to coax that stinky girl, is it too late to clean up slowly when I go back?
Stupid ones can!
"Hurry up, I've got it, didn't it hurt to fall."
Old woman Chen hurriedly pounced, and looked around him again, and Chen Qin's family also leaned over.
"You two don't spoil my good deeds, the twenty taels of silver are for the son of the He family, why don't you bring this girl back to me, so that you can look good."
Chen Ersheng lowered his voice and said hatefully.
"Got it."
Chen Qin knew the temper of his man, and he would beat someone if he didn't agree.
She is not stupid, and the things that often make him mad are pushed on the old lady.
Where does this man recognize his mother when he closes the door, he should be scolded and beaten, but he is not polite.
"Don't worry, don't worry, my mother knows it."
Old woman Chen was very attentive and stammered carefully.
This child is her lifeblood, she is smart when she is young, but she is not like the boss, and she is not likable at all.
The eldest daughter-in-law left early, and now she is an old bachelor, and she has a son, and the old man has not left, she quickly separated, except for debts and an acre of land, the boss has nothing, and now lives in a thatched house.
She naturally didn't dare to offend this child, it didn't matter if she was beaten and scolded at times, she was just temperamental, and she was still willing to raise her.
In case this time it fails, what should I do if I drive her away!
She didn't want to live in a thatched house with another Han, and she had to work in the fields.
She's too old to stand the toss.
On the one hand, he carefully responded to Chen Ersheng, and on the other hand, he stared at Li Wan with hatred.
When I was a child, I was a money-loser, and I still lose money.
I knew that she looked like this, and it would be a pity to sell it for twenty taels.
"What are you still doing! Let's go! β
The catchers often eat buns at Li Wan's food stall, and the two girls of the Li family don't have many good words, so they are willing to help them a little more.
Especially Li Meng is their leader.
These scoundrels have bullied the sister-in-law.
You say it's infuriating.
You pushed me and kneaved, and took the three of them out of the yard first.
"My cousin is injured, so let him watch the yard at home, right? I'll just go with my sister. β
Li Meng didn't even glance at the tall figure, and went straight to Qu Qingliudao.
"This ......"
I don't know how the county magistrate learned about this.
"Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with my cousin, he just came to visit his relatives, and he didn't make a move until he saw those people shouting and drinking here."
Li Meng is afraid that Xiao Bawan will go to court and be inconsistent with her caliber. That's it for her to deliberately hurt someone!
"Oh well! I'll help you maneuver a little in front of the county master. β
Qu Qingliu nodded.
Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to go to jail.
Turning his head to Li Wan, he said, "Come, sister will accompany you." β
"Okay."
Li Wan nodded heavily.
At this moment, she was inexplicably relieved.
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
Li Meng looked at the court, which was far from being as grand as it looked in the TV series.
The lobby is not bright, on the contrary, it is somewhat dark, and the door beams and pillars are half-old.
All kinds of torture instruments were hung on the pillars.
Li Meng subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
It's no wonder that the ancient criminal law was heavy, not to mention the trial, that is, just when you came in, you felt gloomy, and the torture tools were shown to you first, and the courage was three points first.
Qu Qingliu and the others had naturally stood beside the court.
The face was solemn.
Li Meng felt a lot more relieved, even if they were tortured, they were afraid that they would still release most of the water.
Li Wan's hands trembled a little.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Li Meng's eyes gestured to the past.
But several of them knelt on the ground for a long time, and they did not see anyone come in.
"Cough, cough, the county master may have something temporary, you wait ......" The master cleared his throat and was about to speak, when he saw the county master enter the court.
Hurriedly arched his hand, "My lord." β
Syllable!
Shocked wood.
Li Meng also came to the spirit.
The process of this court is indispensable, and the TV series is not made up nonsense, Li Mengqiang cheered himself up.
After the three of them finished introducing themselves, they said loudly, "Lord Hui, I am Li Meng, and this is my sister Li Wan." β
"What are you talking about?"
The county master's voice sounded unexpectedly younger.
Li Meng secretly raised his eyes to take a look, but he didn't see it too clearly, and only said, "They ......"
"County master, you have to be the master for us, this is my second son and daughter-in-law, they are accompanying me to pick up my granddaughter."
Old woman Chen immediately cried, tremblingly pointed at Li Wan and said, "Who knows, who knows that she doesn't recognize us, this girl was raised by me since she was a child, and now her wings are stiff, and she doesn't recognize her ancestors and returned to her ancestors." Didn't this collude with outsiders to beat us, my son and daughter-in-law were beaten so badly, they were all wounded......"
Old woman Chen cried sadly.
He picked up Chen Qin's cuffs again, and he was bruised.
Chen Qin, who was beside him, also cried aggrievedly, "I just came with my mother-in-law, why was I beaten?" β
"They also teamed up with these catchers to bully us, the county lord is wise, please make the decision for me......"
The three of them huddled.
It is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who hear it.
"Poof."
Li Meng couldn't help but laugh.
This immediately caused the county master in front of the desk to be unhappy, and he was shocked, "Above the court, what are you laughing at!" β
"My lord, the women know their mistakes. I just wonder if adults will listen to me? β
