(114) Hit a rake

Work started on the first day of the new year. Zhao Chengcai got up early in the morning, and when he arrived in the yamen, there were really a lot of people who came, and no matter how lazy people were on weekdays, they had to behave diligently today and not touch this mold.

Lou Zhixian lived behind the county office, he still came in on time, and saw that the house was already full of energy, everyone was full of energy, all of them were beaming, very happy, and ordered his entourage to send the prepared red envelopes one by one. Everyone has a share, and it will never be left behind. There is money to collect, and of course everyone is also smiling.

On the morning of the first day of the opening, he spent most of his efforts in greeting each other and greeting each other, Lou Zhixian was saying that he was going to lead his subordinates to Fuxing Building to drink the construction wine, but he saw "Dong Dong Dong" outside the yamen, and someone played a drum of injustice.

Who is this so uninteresting? Do you have to complain at this time?

Everyone was unhappy, but since there was a complaint, their yamen had to accept it.

Lou Zhixian's face sank, "Ascend to the hall!" Take the complainant to court! ”

He walked up to the middle of the lobby. Zhao Chengcai waited aside, and the servants were divided into two shifts, each returning to its place, and soon, the bitter master who complained came in.

Zhao Chengcai raised his eyes and looked, his heart suddenly became angry, it was not someone else, it was Sun Junliang! He pretended to be sick with a strip of cloth on his head in a strange way, and brought a master with him.

He also saw Zhao Chengcai, snorted coldly, and knelt down to salute first.

Lou Zhixian began to ask, "Who is kneeling?" So what's going on? ”

Sun Junliang motioned to the master invited next to him to answer.

"Returning to the old man, Zheng Mingli, a grass citizen, is a famous teacher. Sun Junliang, a villager at present, sued Zhao Zhang, the wife of his brother-in-law Zhao Chengcai, and beat him into the river on the fourth day of the first lunar month for no reason, causing him to catch the cold, and secretly hid his wife Sun Zhao. Please make the master, return his wife, and severely punish Zhao Zhang's evil deeds, and compensate Sun Junliang for a total of 100 taels of silver for his diagnosis and treatment! ”

Wow! What a big breath! Not to mention anything else, this consultation fee of one hundred taels alone is too much! What wind chill can be used to get a hundred taels?

Zhao Chengcai was so angry that his face was like a red date, we won't trouble you, you will come and beat a rake first, it is really a wicked person who sues first!

Seeing Lou Zhixian frowning and looking at him, he came out to salute and replied, "Returning to your lordship." Because my sister did not return to the door in the second year of junior high school, the family was worried, so I went to visit with my mother on the fourth day of junior high school. On the way home, he saw that his sister accidentally fell into the river, and Sun Junliang just shouted, and did not rescue, and the girl came up with the lady who saved the girl, and saw that the sister was unconscious and almost died, and the lady was distressed, so she asked Sun Junliang why the sister fell into the water, but he was vague and could not explain clearly. My lady was angry and did hit him twice, but he stumbled and rolled into the river......"

"It's obvious that your wife pushed me down the river!" Sun Junliang refuted.

Lou Zhixian's face sank, and he was shocked, "Bold!" The official did not ask, why did he roar at the court? Come on, slap your mouth twice. Small punishment and big warning! ”

The slapping in this court is not done by hand, but there is a special cowhide board, about a foot long and two inches wide.

Sun Junliang's face turned white with fright, "My lord is wronged!" Obviously his wife pushed me down the river? ”

Master Zheng was so anxious that his head was sweating, and he whispered, "My Young Master Sun!" Didn't I tell you about it before? The old man didn't ask, you can't make a voice casually in this court, you call again, fight more! ”

Sun Junliang didn't dare to say anything.

A servant stepped forward and put his chin up with a killing stick, and a person next to him was unceremonious, "snapped" twice, and simply knocked out Sun Junliang's two teeth!

Joke! went to their yamen to sue their master and lady, and chose the first day of opening the door on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. It's already polite not to hit him first and kill him twenty times!

Sun Junliang's cheeks on both sides suddenly swollen high, as if he had two mouthfuls of big buns, Zhao Chengcai was really relieved!

Lou Zhixian then asked, "Master Zhao, you go on!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Chengcai saluted again, and then said again, "This Sun Junliang rolled down to the river, only wet his feet, and did not drown." Besides, it was only thirty or fifty steps away from his house, and my lady was in a hurry to send us back for treatment, so she did not rescue us. When the girl woke up yesterday, she cried that Sun Junliang and Aunt Weng had abused her. The beating was bruised all over his body, and it was unbearable to see. I didn't dare to go home at all, and the lady couldn't bear to send my sister back, so she left her sister at home to recuperate. Please also ask the adults to call the shots and let the sister and Sun Junliang break off this marriage! ”

"This ......" Lou Zhixian frowned, slightly embarrassed, and asked, "Sun Junliang, are you willing to reconcile with your wife Zhao?" Or write a letter of resignation? ”

Sun Junliang shook his head again and again, muttering, "The villain is unwilling!" ”

They came prepared for this, and Master Zheng said with a smile, "Back to the eldest master, Sun Junliang said that he didn't want to!" He and his wife have only been married for a month, and their relationship is very good, although there are occasional disputes, but they are by no means like this Master Zhao said, there is abuse of his wife. As for some scars on her body, they were all because of the small lessons she learned from arguing with Aunt Weng at home. It's not a big deal! ”

It's too upside down! It's all like that, how can it still be a small lesson? Zhao Chengcai's face turned blue with anger, and he clenched his fists, but Lou Zhixian did not speak. He was also silent.

Lou Zhixian thought for a while and asked another question, "Sun Junliang, then what is the basis for you to ask Zhao Zhang's family to compensate you for one hundred taels of silver?" ”

"The villain has!" Sun Junliang pulled Zheng Zheng's master.

Master Zheng showed a slight embarrassment, took out a stack of prescriptions, he was embarrassed to read them, and directly held his hands above his head, "This is the prescription that Sun Junliang wants to take, please check it out." ”

This work should have been done by Zhao Chengcai, he took the prescription and sent it to Lou Zhixian. Lou Zhixian looked at it a little, and suddenly his face turned gloomy again, "Nonsense!" You're just a wind chill, why do you want to eat so much ginseng, bird's nest, deer antler cordyceps? ”

Sun Junliang was inconvenient to speak, so he pushed Zheng Xiangshi forward, and Zheng Zhengshi said helplessly, "Back to my lord, Sun Junliang said that he has a weak physique and needs to make up for a year after his illness, so he ...... it" He himself was so weak that he couldn't continue.

Lou Zhixian didn't laugh angrily, "According to what he said, if he has any illness in the past year, does it have to be all on Zhao Zhang's head?" ”

Zheng Zhengshi didn't dare to say a word, the father and son of the Sun family invited him to come, as soon as he said this, he immediately shook his head, saying that it was legitimate and reasonable to recover his wife, but the sky-high price of this lion's big mouth was not clearly slanderous? No matter how confused an official is, it is impossible to support it.

However, the father and son of the Sun family are really difficult to entangle, and he has to be cheeky to say it for the sake of suing for money. Anyway, when he said it, whether the county master approves it or not, it's none of his business.

Lou Zhixian clearly asked a counter-talk, but Sun Junliang was still like a chicken pecking rice, and kept nodding his head.

Lou Zhixian's face sank, and he threw the stack of bills on Sun Junliang's head, "Shameless Diao Min!" Are you trying to fool your own officials? How could you be a dignified seven-foot man and be casually pushed down the river by a woman? You must have accidentally stumbled into the river, but you blamed others. Most of these medicinal materials have nothing to do with wind and cold, and even if they do, you are to blame! If you mention it again, the official will definitely be heavily responsible! ”

Sun Junliang pouted and didn't dare to say anything. Lou Zhixian turned his head and asked Zhao Chengcai again, "Master Zhao, after your sister woke up, did you say that she fell into the water or was pushed down by Sun Junliang?" ”

Zhao Chengcai hesitated. Can you lie here? He thought about it, and still said, "The girl fell into the water by herself." ”

It's not that he didn't dare to lie, but the situation at that time was that Sun Junliang was riding a donkey in front and Zhao Yulan was walking behind.

Lou Zhixian looked regretful, "Since this is the case, the official will now determine that the Sun Zhao family is still owned by the Sun family." Zhao Zhang's just kindly took his sister-in-law back to recuperate, which was not abducted. It's just that since Sun Zhao is sick in bed now, it is not suitable to move, so it is the same for her brother and sister-in-law to recuperate. As for Sun Junliang, you go back first, when your wife recovers, she will go home, and you must treat your wife well in the future, even if you make a small mistake, just reprimand a few words, and don't beat it again! You know what? ”

"Yes!" Sun Junliang wanted to ask again, when would he be able to take Zhao Yulan home, but he thought that Zhao Yulan was still sick, and if he returned home, he would have to spend money to hire someone to serve him, so it would be better to put it in Zhao Chengcai's house and take it home to work, which would be convenient.

The trial was set, Sun Junliang had a swollen bun face and walked away triumphantly.

After leaving the hall, Zhao Chengcai hurriedly entered the inner room and pleaded, "My lord, my sister-in-law really can't let her go back!" The father and son of the Zhao family are extremely cruel, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to my house to check my sister's injury, it is really full of blood and tears, shocking! If she is allowed to go back, she will really die! ”

Lou Zhixian sighed slightly, "How can this official not know?" Chengcai, you are a sincere person, and this official believes that you will never tell lies. But in this law, it does not say that if a husband beats his daughter-in-law, his marriage can be terminated. This kind of thing...... I can only say that your sister is unlucky, and she is not ladylike when she meets someone! ”

"Is it really impossible to do it at all?" Zhao Chengcai is really in a hurry.

Lou Zhixian analyzed Daoming with him one by one, "Husband and wife should be separated, one is that the wife commits seven rules, and the husband's family can divorce her." The second is that the husband's family violates the five articles of righteousness, and the wife can ask for a divorce from her. The third is that the husband and wife voluntarily reconcile and divorce, but that is also troublesome, and it is necessary for both parents or brothers to witness, take all the belongings in the family to count and separate, and make a note before they can be separated. ”

Zhao Chengcai heard that there was another matter in his heart, so if he and Zhang Qingting wanted to reconcile, it was not something that the two of them could do if they wanted to.

Lou Zhixian continued, "It is easy for this husband to divorce his wife, but it is not easy for his wife to get out. Like your sister-in-law, as long as your husband's family doesn't agree, if you don't commit the five rules of righteousness, you will have to admit it no matter how much you beat and scold. ”

"That'...... Then you can only watch her jump into the fire kang again? ”

Lou Zhixian smiled incomprehensibly, "Not really!" ”

Zhao Chengcai gave a deep salute, "I would like to hear the advice of the adult!" ”(！ )}
