In this era, there was no talk of human rights, and slaves were the personal property of their masters, and even their household registrations were hung under the master's house. Ke Chun's father and son are rare kind-hearted people, and they are very good to Lao Zhoutou and Guo'er. If you have monthly money, you will give more if you have a surplus at home, and less when you are in distress. Lao Zhou Tou and Guo'er never complained, after all, for slaves like them, who were sold like livestock, they only needed to eat and live. If you meet a good lord's house, it is a kindness from heaven.

But no matter whether they live a poor life or a rich life, the Chun father and son insist on not touching the Bai family's dowry, saying that it will be all left to Chun Tu in the future. Therefore, Xu's mother is simply worried, and she is always afraid that the Chun family will be greedy for her daughter's dowry, so she accompanied a lot of big, but worthless objects. As for her daughter's private room and daily flowers, she sent someone to Xu's hand every month, and kept instructing: This silver is spent by herself, don't give it to others. Even if it's his father-in-law and father-in-law, he can't do it. The little family is full of spirit, and it is really the best. In fact, although the father and son of the Chun family are not rich people, they have high vision, and they are upright, how can they live on the dowry of the Xu family?

Shaking his head and putting aside the pile of bad things in the Chun family, Chun Tu Yu replayed the case in his heart. Early the next morning, he was still dressed in men's clothes, and Xiao Jiuge was the coachman, accompanied by Guo'er, and went to the town to visit and investigate. Her behavior aroused the strong curiosity of Guo'er and Xiao Jiuge, but both of them were clever and eloquent, asking things and looking for people, which saved a lot of things for Chun Tu.

Later, Chun Tu found Sun Xiucai's home, a small courtyard with two entrances. Different from ordinary houses, the first entry of the Sun family is not only used as a subordinate room, but also an outer study, when they arrived, they saw an old man with a sad face, who came out of the outer study with a thousand thanks, and carefully put a complaint in his arms as he walked.

"Miss Chun, when we were having lunch just now, I asked someone to inquire." Xiao Jiu said in a low voice, "This Sun Xiucai is not like other people who write pleadings and letters to set up stalls on the street, he is sitting at home, writing a complaint costs one or two silver, if you want to go to court to respond to the lawsuit, the price is set separately, and you can't bargain." ”

"So expensive!" Guo'er's eyes widened. "One or two pieces of silver, equivalent to a month's worth of my lord, this is just two pieces of broken paper. Could it be that a single word of him is worth more than ten or twenty dollars? ”

It is said that Sun Xiucai is very famous in the matter of lawsuits, and even people from nearby states and counties have come from afar to find him to write a complaint. Presumably, it's worth the money. ”

"Isn't he rich, then?" Guo Er was surprised, "I didn't expect to be a lawyer with such a future, and it is not worse than sitting in an official." ”

"Not really." Xiao Jiu was also speechless, "I don't know if I don't ask, I'm shocked when I ask." Sun Xiucai was just a poor sour who didn't even have a house to live in, he ate the last meal but didn't eat the next meal, and after winning several big cases, he married two wives and concubines in a row. Don't look at this small yard, people have crabs, the meat is in the bones, and the land is seriously bought outside the city, there is Zhuangzi. ”

Guo Er was dumbfounded, and Chun Tu smiled on the side, inexplicably proud that he was once a modern lawyer.

Literate people can write on paper, after all, there is a corresponding format. But to write well, it's hard. Generally speaking, it is necessary to clearly state the names of the parties, the cause of the complaint, the specific facts, and the requirements to be met. Under the pleadings, witnesses and evidence must be listed, which is more complicated than modern litigation documents. To be able to write such a complaint, it is required to be familiar with the Tang Dynasty, have good writing, strong expression skills, clear logic, excellent handwriting, and corresponding persuasiveness. It seems that Sun Xiucai has done a little hard work before.

A complaint to the government is called a petition, and the presiding officer will first review it and decide whether to accept it. After acceptance, for general cases, as long as the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and the punishment clause in the law is attached, the presiding officer will read it carefully and give a written opinion on the trial. Then call the parties and ask a few words in the court, which is to announce the verdict.

If there is a dissatisfaction, the beggar is allowed for three months, that is, a request for a re-interrogation. In relatively large cases, the county order will only look at the corresponding documents, or personally try them, and they must also be tried three times. From this point of view, it is very, very important whether the complaint is well written or not.

Moreover, the lower class people in ancient times did not have many literate people, let alone those who had the above requirements, so there is a sentence that is very right: being a lawyer is really promising, and scarcity is expensive. It's a pity that the status of the lawyer is low, and in the eyes of the people, he belongs to the category of villains, and no one wants to contact him unless he provokes official trouble. In other words, a lawyer can indeed make a lot of money if he does a good job, but he basically doesn't want such a thing as fame. If you offend the government, you will not have a good time in the future.

However, this Sun Xiucai is indeed charging indiscriminately, just like a locust, and he will suck enough blood with a bite. For the lower-class people, the cost of litigation is too high, and a lawsuit will indeed ruin the family. If you find a literate person and write a complaint casually, you will lose the lawsuit and lose even more.

quickly and concisely explained a few words to Guo'er and Xiao Jiuge, these two guys first marveled at the difficulty and importance of being a lawyer, and then revealed their admiration for Chun Tu. Miss Jiao, who was raised in the boudoir, actually knows so much, how can she not be admired to death. When the servants of the Sun family invited the three of them into the house, Sun Xiucai listened to Chun Tuyi's narration, and offered the price of the lawsuit to go to court was thirty taels, and when five taels were paid in advance, although the pain was equivalent to a year's rent in Linshui Building, although Xiao Jiu Brother was secretly surprised, he was still calm on the surface, and he did not fall out of love, which made Sun Xiucai a little impressed.

This Sun Xiu is only in his thirties, medium in stature, white and thin, and he is originally considered to be elegant and elegant, but his eyes always seem to be wrapped in a layer of flowing water, giving people a very uncomfortable and shrewd feeling.

"Our county government releases a single notice every time, and hears it every time. However, the morning government handles daily official business, and the evening government interrogates the case, but the specific time will be written on the notice board of the day. Miss Chun will send someone to watch early tomorrow morning, and she will arrive on time in the afternoon and wait for me at the big photo wall in the county office. Sun Xiucai put away the folding fan that he didn't need at all at this time, "The intention of framing this case is obvious, but the situation is more complicated, I have to think about it before I can write a letter, and I will bring it to the court tomorrow." ”

"Sir, don't you want to hear what I think of this case?" Chun Tu Yu hurriedly said, "Before, we also investigated, and there are indeed many suspicious points. It is a good thing to be full of self-confidence, but although she is not familiar with Datang's court, she knows that no matter how good a lawyer is, she must make detailed and serious preparations in advance.

"Unfortunately, I have some urgent matters that must be dealt with immediately." Sun Xiucai stood up with some embarrassment and said, "Otherwise, so be it." Please write down the doubts first, and I will ask someone to wait for the pen and paper. When I come back, I'll figure it out. ”

The time was short, the task was heavy, and the lawyer had other things to do.

After Sun Xiucai left, he sat in the study and wrote for more than an hour. First, no matter how big or small, everything must be written clearly. Second, she did not inherit the memories of her predecessor, and her skills naturally did not be inherited. Although the magic can speak the ancient dialect here and recognize the traditional characters, it is ...... to write You have to make a stroke, or you won't even recognize yourself. For her change, not to mention embroidery, even the stitches are crooked, she only said that her fingers are always stiff for some reason, and her wrists do not obey the call, which provokes Chun's father and son to think that she is seriously ill and has not recovered, and she is so distressed that she can't do it.

And not long after she left, Sun Xiucai returned. When he saw the paper on the table, and the handwriting on the paper that looked like a puppy crawling, he immediately threw it into a ball of contempt and threw it into the paper basket.

The servant wondered and asked, "Won't the lord take a look?" ”

Sun Xiucai snorted, "A girl, who is still from a military family, doesn't even have a student in the imperial examination, what can she understand?" It's just a little bit of a word, and it's just that I think I'm smart and make trouble. I let her go, just hoping that she would not bother me, do I really expect her to give me advice? ”

The servant nodded yes, and then said, "Master, there is a gentleman who asks to see him, dressed gorgeously, not like an ordinary person, do you want to invite him in?" ”

"Please." Sun Xiucai straightened his clothes and commanded.

The Sun family's side of the matter, Chun Tuyu didn't know anything. It's just that for some reason, she was always a little restless, she couldn't eat, and she couldn't even sleep in the middle of the night, so she quietly got out of bed, came to the outer room separated by eight screens, and went to the desk to practice writing complaints.

Guo'er lives next door, and she is not old, and she sleeps heavily, so she won't come to nag her. It wasn't until the sky was light and she got up that she rushed to sleep again. At noon, Xiao Jiu Ge had already inquired about the time of the evening ya's hearing, and Chun Tuyu hurriedly ate a few bites of somen noodles, and then went to the county government in a car.

During this period, I heard that Xu had a headache and was nested in the east room with Xiaoqin, and he didn't even show his face.

However, she waited left and right in front of the big photo wall in the county office, and she didn't see Sun Xiucai's figure, and she was about to be promoted to the court, so she was in a hurry to send Xiao Jiu Ge to take a look. But the result of bringing it back was: Sun Xiucai left the town in a hurry and would not come back within three days.

That's too unethical! The spring sprouts are immediately fried.

But after thinking about it, I felt full of doubts. Thirty taels of silver, in this era, it is not the capital, in such a remote military town, it is a large income, equivalent to more than 60,000 yuan, Sun Xiucai is so greedy for money, how can he give up at will? There are no dead people in his house, what's the big deal!

Playing missing at a critical moment, there must be a cat greasy in it.

First, when a bigger case comes to him, he can get a greater benefit. But there was a conflict in the timing of the two cases, and he chose the more profitable one instead of responding first. But if that's the case, how could he not send someone to talk to her and return the five taels of deposit?

Second, she was careless. Yesterday, she made a mistake, a major mistake, a subconscious sense of superiority over the ancients from her bones, which made her make a big stupid move, just thinking about deterring Zhang Wuniang, but forgetting that doing so would startle the snake and vent her bottom. If Zhang Wuniang had a black hand behind her back, that person knew that she had hired a lawyer, and she might let Chun Dashan be acquitted, of course, she would be sabotaged halfway. And today's incident, there is a sense of conspiracy up and down that she is going to be caught off guard.
