Chapter Seventy-Nine: Ascending to the Court for Trial
"What about sister-in-law?" Wu Zhan was taken away, the whole family lost their backbone, the carriage of the government went far away, and Hu Man was still standing motionless in the courtyard, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What's going on? Why take the martial arts? Wang Fang hurriedly ran back, she was not at home, and she still listened to others on the way.
Wu Qing told the ins and outs of the matter, and Wang Fang directly scolded with his throat: "Is this Hu family still shameless?" I'm really old, and I can meet anything! I don't want it anymore, and now I still have the courage to sue the official? I'll fuck it, if I lack great virtue, I will be punished sooner or later! “
"Auntie, calm down." Hu Man was troubled by her quarrel: "I'm thinking of a way, Wu Zhan will be fine."
"What can you do?" Wang Fang was also anxious: "Everyone has been taken away, and I don't know how to be mistreated!" It's all because of you, it's all your good family! ”
Hu Man couldn't imagine that buying a teahouse by himself would attract this kind of thing, and he thought of the teahouse...... Hu Man hurriedly called Wu Qing: "Is there anyone in the village who has an ox cart?" Let's pay to hire it, and go to the county now! ”
When Wu Qing saw Hu Man's expression, he couldn't help but feel relieved: "Uncle Zhao's family has it, I'll go now!"
"Sister-in-law, do you have a way?" Wu Yuan asked, "You don't want to go back to the Hu family, do you?"
"I'm not going back." Hu Man pulled out a smile at them: "Don't worry, no matter what method you use, I will definitely let Wu Zhan come back safely."
Hu Man simply took something, brought ten taels of silver, and took an ox cart with Wu Qing to the county.
Uncle Zhao is very good at talking: "You have also been in Fangyuan Village for so long, although everyone thinks that you are not that kind of person, but your family is too ...... Ay! ”
Hu Man didn't speak, but Wu Qing couldn't help but say: "Uncle Zhao, don't complain about my sister-in-law about this, she is very good to my family, it is purely her family members who are demons."
When he arrived in the county, Hu Man gave Uncle Zhao thirty yuan, and went straight to Yu Yuan Restaurant with Wu Qing, the guy was already very familiar with Hu Man, and when he saw that it was her, he said directly: "It's Miss Hu, the boss is in the backyard!"
Hu Man nodded, and when he arrived in the backyard, he saw him reading the account book under the tree, with an abacus in front of him, as if he was settling accounts, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw Hu Man, as if he didn't expect her to suddenly appear: "What's wrong?"
"Wu Zhan was arrested." Hu Man could only think of him for the time being, after all, Yu Shuyan had been in the county for many years, and it was impossible for him to have no intersection with the government.
Yu Shuyan stood up: "Arrested? For what? ”
"It's not the money that's to blame." Hu Man himself was also annoyed: "I shouldn't have brought Hu Xiu here, she knew that I bought a teahouse, and she wanted me to go back to Hu's house, so she actually went to the government to sue Wu Zhan, saying that he detained me, Wu Zhan was upset for me, and beat my brother again, so he was taken away."
"It's not a big deal." Yu Shuyan has seen the world in the end: "It's very simple to clarify that you voluntarily stayed in the martial arts family, as for beating people... Accompany the Hu family to get some money, and then go to the government to get some money. ”
"You also need to find the right person, no, I'm looking for you!" Hu Man took out the ten taels of silver: "I'm just that, is it enough?"
Yu Shuyan looked at her: "This is not a crime at all, are you sure that all these are spent to deal with it?"
Hu Man nodded without hesitation: "Money doesn't matter, I just want him to come out as soon as possible, and don't suffer from flesh and skin when he is inside."
"Okay, you wait first, I'll go and see how it goes."
Hu Man and Wu Qing were waiting in the restaurant, in fact, Yu Shuyan had left the village very early, and they were not very familiar with each other: "Will Yu Shuyan really help us?" He doesn't seem to be very close to my brother. ”
"Helping is going to help, but it has to pay something." Businessmen pursue profits, Yu Shuyan is no exception, Hu Man knows very well that the reason why Yu Shuyan has a good relationship with herself is entirely because she is valuable, and the relationship has not reached that point, no one will help anyone in vain, besides, she is not willing to owe others for nothing, and her heart is not steady.
It wasn't until the night was dark that Yu Shuyan came back, but it was not alone, but with a burly strong man, his appearance of not being angry and arrogant made people daunting at first glance, Yu Shuyan introduced: "This is Song Zhutou."
It turned out to be the leader of the fast catch, Hu Man and Wu Qing greeted Song Huai, and Yu Shuyan spoke: "Brother Song, I caught the county government's martial arts battle today, he is my fellow villager, he grew up together, his matter should not be serious, you see ......"
Song Huai's eyebrows were erected, and his voice was extremely rough: "His matter is not serious, but the plaintiff insists on suering, and he can't be released at will without trial."
Yu Shuyan nodded: "Of course, I won't embarrass Brother Song, if it proves his innocence, we will naturally find evidence, just bother Brother Song, please take care of one or two more, so that he doesn't suffer any crimes inside."
Song Huai smiled and touched the silver two that Yu Shuyan stuffed into his cuffs: "It's easy to say, I still have this bit of power."
"That's okay, I'll bother Brother Song more."
After sending Song Huai away, Yu Shuyan took out the remaining five taels and returned them to Hu Man: "Don't worry in prison, the rest shouldn't be needed, it depends on whether you can make people believe that you are not deceived, of course, this should not be difficult for you."
Hu Man breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your hard work."
After eating a few bites hastily at night, Hu Man rested, and will be promoted to the court tomorrow, she has to take care of her spirits and never let Hu Jianwen succeed!
I didn't sleep well at night, and I woke up early in the morning, Hu Man really couldn't calm down, so she went to the kitchen to make breakfast, she raised the noodles, poured oil into the pot, and made fried dough sticks that she hadn't seen for a long time.
Boil some porridge again, it's very simple, but it's light and light and very suitable for eating in the morning, Wu Qing didn't take long to get up, his face was a little haggard, it seemed that he was also worried all night, Hu Man handed him chopsticks: "Eat more to have the spirit to rescue your brother."
"What is this?" Yu Shuyan asked curiously as soon as he came out, and sure enough, his focus was always on novel food, and he was sick from his occupation.
"Churros." Hu Man finished eating by himself: "The method is very simple, I'll teach you the chef when I go back."
Yu Shuyan nodded, sat down and started eating, the two tacitly understood that this was a way of getting along between them, and it could be regarded as a tacit understanding.
Because it was not a big case, there were not too many people at the gate of the county government, Hu Man could only stand outside and wait for the summons, what she didn't expect was that it didn't take long for Hu and Hu Xiu to come.
Hu Man gritted his teeth and squinted at the cheeky mother and daughter: "It's really clever!" Hu Xiu, no wonder Yu Shuyan doesn't like you, he just sees through your pure surface and treacherous nature in your bones! Don't be clever with your scheming, someone will cure you sooner or later! ”
Hu Xiu stiffened his neck: "Shut up, don't forget that you are originally from the Hu family, your things are from the Hu family, you are good, forget it if you are stupid, and give things to outsiders, white-eyed wolf!"
"Say it again!" Wu Qing took a step forward and looked at Hu Xiu with unkind eyes.
"What are you doing?" Hu Xiu hurriedly hid behind the Hu family, and his mouth was unforgiving: "Don't forget that your brother just beat people in, do you also want to be a companion with him?"
Hu Man grabbed Wu Qing: "I don't have anything to say to people who have no conscience, I'll see if they can succeed!"
When he ascended to the hall on time, Hu Man looked at the county magistrate who was in the government, about forty or fifty years old, with a big belly, sat down at the desk and patted the defendant: "Take the defendant."
Wu Zhan was wearing shackles on his hands, wearing a white prison uniform, his body was straight, and Hu Man was worried for a while, only to see him walk to the middle of the hall and kneel down straight: "The grass people have seen adults."
The county magistrate nodded: "Where is the complaint?"
Hu Jianwen, who was standing on the side with a swollen face, hurriedly handed over the complaint written by someone else, and the county magistrate opened it and read it quickly, and began to interrogate: "Defendant Wuzhan, have you married Hu Man, the daughter of the Hu family?"
Wu Zhan shook his head, and the county master asked again: "Then why don't you let her go home?"
Wu Zhan's voice was sonorous and powerful: "My lord, it's not the grass people who forced her to stay, it's the Hu family who is mean and partial to her, and she herself doesn't want to go back."
The county magistrate nodded: "Take Hu Man."
The official at the door let Hu Man in, Wu Zhan glanced back at Hu Man, Hu Man nodded to him, and slowly knelt down: "The folk girl has seen an adult."
The county magistrate looked at the complaint: "This Hu family said that you have been stupid since you were a child, but is it true?"
Hu Man immediately denied it: "My lord, the folk girl is just because the Hu family abuses and bullies at will, and she is silent, where is she stupid."
The county magistrate looked at Hu Man, although he was a little ugly, where did he talk and act like a fool? Then he asked Hu Jianwen again: "This Hu Man looks very normal, why is he stupid and deceived?"
"My lord, you can go to the village to investigate, everyone knows that my sister is not clear-headed, and what she says cannot be trusted."
"My lord, can you show the complaint to the people's daughter?" Hu Man requested.
Although the county magistrate didn't know why, he still asked the official to hand it to her, Hu Man unfolded it, read it word for word according to the complaint, and finally said: "My lord, have you ever seen a fool who can read and write?"
"Oh? Do you know how to heal? ”
Hu Man was quiet: "I understand a little, the last time I came to the county seat, I met Master Wu Qingshui, he was unwell, and it was all prescribed by the people's daughters, and if you don't believe it, you can check it."
"And this?" You know, although he is about the same age, this Wu Qingshui is indeed his father-in-law! There is no one in this county who doesn't know, and if she thinks about it, she doesn't dare to use him to deceive herself, right?
"Plaintiff, this Hu Man is not stupid at all, what do you say?"
She is not stupid, but Hu Jianwen is stupid, Hu Xiu only told him that Hu Man was sober, but he didn't say that she could read and write, and what kind of medical skills she knew! How is that possible?
Hu Jianwen stammered: "My lord, this, this, even if she is not stupid, but she always didn't marry Wu Zhan, so she should go back to my Hu family, but Wu Zhan didn't let her, and injured the grass people, what is the reason?"
