Chapter 26: Judgment and Separation
After ascending to the hall, Qi Xianling sat on it, and Liu and several daughters knelt under the public hall and routinely inquired about it
Immediately let the official ride a fast horse, go to Zhujiazhuang, and bring the patriarch of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuangzheng, Zhang, Zhu Xiaoxian and a few villagers to the county office
This is the opposite, it should be in the afternoon, so the Liu family and the others were arranged to go to the side hall, and they were specially responsible, saying that they were hospitality, that is, they were guarded, and they would not be in charge of lunch
And Yun Shu is not a person from Zhujiazhuang now, so naturally he can't participate in this lawsuit
But she can cheer up Liu and her sister on the side, and check up and down, and buy them food and other matters, as for Dongliu, she doesn't care
Because she knew that Dongliu was not simple, she took her mother and little sister to him, if there was no relationship, she would not want her mother to sue Zhu Xiaoxian
Not long after lunch, the drums sounded, and the Qi county order sat on it, and the Liu family was also brought up
In the lobby, in addition to the Liu family, there were also those villagers, patriarchs, and people from the Zhu family
Qi County's order was shocked, and these people in the hall immediately knelt down
"Liu Yuhua of Zhujia Village, the court, sued her husband, secretly married a wife, but did not let his wife know, and married him for many years, either insulting or beating, and seeing that his mother made a big mistake of selling her granddaughter, she did not stop it, and the official sent someone to Zhujiazhuang to collect evidence, the facts are true, Zhu Xiaoxian, as the plaintiff, has something to say"
Zhu Xiaoxian didn't speak, he first looked at his father and mother, and then replied, "My lord, when there is a spoon touching the edge of the pot in every family's life, my family is naturally no exception, and filial piety comes first, and no one is the last, Liu did not give birth to a son for the villain, and the villain is naturally a little angry, but that is only occasionally done after drinking, and it is not as she said, often beating and scolding"
"None? Then you tell the officer, who hit the injuries on her body and the child's body? ”
Zhu Xiaoxian naturally can't say that he beat him, if he did, then he will fall into the crime of beating the wife of the chaff, and have the crime of unkindness
But it is impossible not to answer the words of the county order, but if she confesses that Zhang beat her, then Zhang's crime is even greater
His filial son naturally can't let Zhang suffer, "those are the ones they accidentally knocked on themselves"
Qi Xianling smiled coldly, "Knock? Several times your wife has asked herself to come down to court, but you are not allowed, you are beaten in public, reversing black and white? Let me ask, what is your intention in beating and scolding her like that, but you want to keep her and marry again? ”
"My lord, the villain has no purpose, after all, after many years of husband and wife, there are still feelings, besides, where can she go if she leaves the Zhu family? The villain is also kind."
Qi County Ling looked at Liu, "Liu Yuhua, what do you say?" ”
"My lord, the women have hands and feet, and they will never starve to death if they leave the Zhu family, besides, even if they go out to ask for food, they don't have to be scolded and beaten in his house, and the life in his house is not as good as the livestock, I would rather starve to death than continue to stay in the Zhu family, and ask the adults to be the masters of the people's women."
"Zhu Xiaoxian, can you hear clearly?"
Zhu Xiaoxian glared at the Liu family viciously, he was unwilling to let the Liu family go like this, but the Liu family had the county commander in charge, and he was helpless, Zhu Zhuang was looking at the patriarch with his head begging
The head of the Zhu family hurriedly kowtowed to the county order, "My lord, let's talk about it, this is also the matter of the Zhu family, and the Liu family sued the court like this, which is also a step, or should it be handed over to the villain and brought back to the clan to deal with?" ”
"Who are you?" Qi Guozhi looked at him coldly
"The villain is the patriarch of the Zhu family, my eldest son" He just wanted to say that his eldest son was a lifter and also lived in the county seat, but was interrupted by Qi Guozhi
"That is, the head of the Zhu family, should understand the law, the Liu family is a married daughter-in-law, not bought, but should be treated with courtesy, even the current emperor is very important to filial piety, respect the queen mother, repair the law, protect the women who reproduce offspring, why should your family be treated with grace, you know, no matter how big your Zhu family is, it is not as big as the law, and there is no right to kill and punish people"
Patriarch Zhu sweated on his forehead, and the county order said this, which was also a wake-up call for him, what kind of lifting, what kind of showmanship, in his eyes it was all fart, so don't take this to him
That is, if you change people, maybe you will take care of some, but Qi Guozhi, who was born in the third list of Jinshi, can come here to be a county magistrate, and he will come down to experience it, and he will return to Beijing to resume his post when he turns around
"Yes, yes, the adult is very right, it's the villain who is more and more lifted"
"Hmph, today's official will take the Liu family as an example, and then he will post a public notice, and those elders who oppress people with filial piety and treat their daughters-in-law and grandchildren harshly, will be dealt with strictly after reporting"
Yun Shu smiled in the crowd of auditors, this county order has a bit of the taste of that planet, hehe
Then the county order collected evidence from the villages that were brought, signed and drew the charge, and solicited the opinions of the people who listened to the hall, all hoping that the Liu family would break away from the Zhu family and be ashamed of the Zhu family's behavior
The faces of the Zhu family were red with shame, and they didn't dare to hum when they lowered their heads, although the Zhang family also lowered their heads, their eyes kept rolling
As long as the granddaughters are left, they are all old and have been working at home for a few years, so they quickly said that they would sell them
She thought about beauty, but the county order above woke her up with a basin of cold water
"The human evidence, the physical evidence, the official has checked it in court, so let's draw the collateral," Qi Guozhi was also smart, and the verdict finally said, let you draw the evidence first
There's no way, it's not reasonable, if you want to smear white into black, you have to have the guts
Let's draw
Finally, the county commander stood up and slapped again
"The official verdict is that Liu Yuhua and Zhu Xiaoxian are separated, and the book is written by the master for a while, and the handprints are drawn and pressed, and then directly entered the file.
Because of Zhang's abuse of her granddaughter, she wanted to sell her granddaughter who had been removed from the clan, but Liu was willing to take her daughter to leave the Zhu family together for the sake of her daughters not being sold.
This official sentenced, Zhu Erya, Zhu Sanya, Zhu Siya, and Zhu Wuya left the Zhu family with their mother, and they have nothing to do with the Zhu family from then on, and the head of the Zhu family went back and crossed out the names on the family tree directly."
After Qi Guozhi finished announcing the verdict, he was about to shout to retreat, but the Zhang family immediately howled, "My lord, why, those girls are from our Zhu family, why follow Liu Slut, your sentence is unfair, what a bullshit parental official"
Haha, she actually sprinkled it in the court, and Qi Guozhiqi will eat this set
Her howl also happened to be the handle that Qi Guozhi caught, and she was thinking about what the teacher said, she wanted to teach this old pious woman a lesson, now it's okay
"Someone came, Zhang Guixiang roared in the court, dragged out, ten boards, to show the precepts"
When Zhang was dragged out, he didn't forget to say, "My lord, my granddaughters belong to my family, why, why are you?"
Zhu Zhuang was watching his old wife hit the board, and he didn't dare to snort, he was sweating, and he didn't dare to look up at the county order above
Qi Guozhi snorted coldly, "Hmph, rubbing his daughter-in-law, being a mother-in-law in vain, harsh on his descendants, being an ancestor in vain, not protecting his wife and daughter, being a man in vain,
What, you want to keep those granddaughters and sell them for money? Didn't your family despise the women, and keep them and sell the money, so that the men of your house might drink wine and eat meat secretly at night? ”
He is also extraordinary today, but he is a county magistrate, so naturally he will not put a few mud legs in his eyes, and he can say whatever he wants
"Tell you, I, the parent official, am not in vain, Patriarch Zhu, your family is also a century-old family, and this clan style is not very good.
You know, what is wrong with a woman inheriting the great cause of her children and grandchildren, so that you can be treated like this, do you have no mother, or no sisters?
People's hearts are flesh and blood, I really don't know, a big family like yours can have such a thing, hum"
