In the evening, when a large family was in Jinhu Tower to change the cup with rice, they listened to the indignant discussion of the diners next to them:

"The new magistrate is really a dog official, the lady of the Tan family has always been a gentle and dignified and abiding by women's morality, it is clear that the second son of his Wen family is a prodigal and immoral son, seducing the eldest sister-in-law, and now he deserves to be killed, but Wu Zhixian sentenced the Tan family to a decisive decision."

"Cough, after all, the Tan family killed someone, and who knows the twists and turns in between, I heard that the Tan family is an adulteress in his bones, and he is also very fierce, and the boss of the Wen family is also as healthy as a cow, but he can't withstand the destruction of the Tan family, so he can't afford to fall ill and die of depression."

"I've also heard of this, it is said that the Tan family was inappropriate when the boss of the Wen family was alive, and he was arrested for fornicating with foreign men, and after the death of the boss of the Wen family, she couldn't bear the loneliness, and her deceased husband's grave has not dried up, this woman is already difficult to keep the etiquette, and she pays money to seduce those scoundrels in the market, and it is reasonable for her to seduce her uncle and kill people without getting angry."

After listening to the discussion that followed, the person who picked the head sighed: "It's lonely and unheard of like this, and I still have to fight for her." ”

"This matter, brother, you are really wrong to blame Wu Zhixian, the Wen family's case is a complaint handed over by Miss He, Miss He has always been cautious, and the case she dares to handle is naturally impeccable."

Hearing He Shiyin's name, Hua Rujin couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at everyone, she smiled quietly: "Eat quickly." ”

And in her heart, she suddenly thought of the case of the Li family and the Zhang family in Jiang'an County.

I don't know if she did anything bad this time.

When I went back from Jinhu Tower, I just arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, and I saw an old man with silver hair standing at the door, pacing anxiously.

Seeing the figure of Hua Rujin and his party, he immediately greeted him, estimated his age, and guessed at a glance that the young woman should be a well-known female lawyer in the county, and immediately knelt down and prayed: "Miss Hua, please save the little girl." ”

"Old man, please get up, if you have something to say, you don't have to do this big gift."

Hua Rujin was a little surprised that the old man recognized him directly, and then thought about the gossip he heard in the restaurant, and vaguely felt that it might be the same case.

Bringing people into the house, Cai Baiwei made tea, leaving only Wei Lao in the hall to accompany her, and the rest went to the inner hall of the master bedroom.

In the quiet guest room, Wei Shuhan and Hua Rujin were slowly sipping tea, only to see the old man fidgeting, but he was always unable to speak.

Hua Rujin had to speak first: "If the old man has any difficulties, but I will not refuse, if I can do it, I will not refuse." ”

The old man did not answer, but cautiously glanced at Wei Shuhan, who was sitting on the side, and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms: "Please ask Miss Hua to smile at these three thousand taels of silver, if Miss Hua can help Lao Yu rescue the little girl, Lao Yu will not hesitate even if he is bankrupt." ”

The words fell, and his voice was gradually choked: "The old man has been the only girl for half his life, and the old man can't watch her being wrongfully killed." ”

Wei Shuhan was very tired of this kind of person who would talk about things with money at every turn, and he was afraid that the disciples would go astray, so he urged impatiently: "Brother Tai, let's explain the matter first." ”

The old man's eyes sank, and he fell into silence unspeakably.

"This is a family teacher, and the elderly don't have to have to have a problem."

Hua Rujin explained, and then asked bluntly: "Your Excellency is Tan Yuanwai, and Ling Ai is the eldest lady of the Wen family?" ”

"Exactly."

Tan Yuanwai raised his head at this time: "I think Miss Hua has heard about the little girl, but the little girl is by no means as unruly as the outside world rumores, and I am still very clear about the daughter I raised myself." ”

"So, someone deliberately slandered Ling Ai and damaged her reputation?"

Hua Rujin asked.

"It's just because my son-in-law died early, although the little daughter is widowed, but the son-in-law still left his blood and bones, my grandson is also angry, smart since he was a child, and diligent and studious, but the second child of the Wen family is idle all day long, not doing business, and messing with flowers and grass everywhere, even his eldest sister-in-law is disrespectful, I think the Wen family is worried about the loss of the family property, so they deliberately made up these things for no reason."

Tan Yuanwaihu replied suspiciously.

"I heard that Ling Ai did kill the second son of the Wen family by mistake?"

Hua Rujin couldn't directly believe Tan Yuanwai's words at this time.

Even if he stuffed himself with more silver, he had to respect the facts.

Tan Yuanwai raised his eyebrows: "Just because Wen Er repeatedly harassed the little girl, the little girl didn't obey, he came hard, the little girl hated and feared him, the beginning of this month was the son-in-law's death day, Wen Er shamelessly went to her boudoir to tease, the little girl was angry and cut off Wen Er's lifeline with sharp scissors, and Wen Er fell to the ground and died. ”

This scene, Hua Rujin always feels familiar.

It stands to reason that this does fall under the category of legitimate defense, but there is a layer of concern that she had at the beginning.

Defending too much and killing people.

When such a thing happens, it is not impossible to save it, but it depends on the work of words and the wisdom of the presiding official.

After all, the punishment for adultery and adultery and incest in the Daye Dynasty is still quite strong.

It's just that she is now the master of the county, and it is not good for her to be directly involved in this matter, lest anyone feel that she is in cahoots with the county.

Thinking about it, this Tan Yuanwai already knew that he was Wu Yue's staff, so he invited him with a lot of money.

There is also a female lawyer next to Wu Yue, and her sister is also a well-known talented woman, so she will be able to distinguish right from wrong.

Moreover, the person died in the Tan family's boudoir, and Wen Er's death is enough to prove that he was not wronged.

That serious man will run away to his eldest sister-in-law's boudoir if he has nothing to do.

This is an ancient time with strict etiquette.

So he took a pen and paper, Hua Rujin quickly wrote down eight big characters, handed them to Tan Yuanwai, and advised: "You ask someone to bring this note to the prison and hand it over to Ling Ai, which will definitely bring Ling Ai back to life." ”

Wei Shuhan just looked at it silently on the side, and suddenly had a number in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly praise the apprentice: It's really sharp.

Tan Yuanwai was expecting her to say a few kind words in front of the magistrate, but she only wrote a few words, which is really a painful statement.

After thinking about it, he frowned and asked suspiciously: "Can you really bring the little girl back to life with these eight words?" ”

"You might as well give it a try."

Hua Rujin said with a smile.

Although I have known Wu Yue and King Ning for a short time, I also have a general understanding of them, although they are not talented, but they are not people who do not distinguish between right and wrong.

Tan Yuanwai pushed the silver ticket in front of her, nodded heavily, and said: "Then thank Miss Hua, I will definitely tell the little girl to appeal to the magistrate of the county according to what Miss Hua said, and please accept the silver." ”

"Tan Yuan is polite, I'm not a famous lawyer, I don't need a lot of silver."

As he spoke, Hua Rujin took one from it and explained with a light smile: "After all, it is a matter of human life, if I don't take a penny, Tan Yuanwai will think that I am too child's play, just these five hundred taels, according to the convention, the magistrate will re-judge Ling Ai as the final conclusion, and Ling Ai will only need to be as I explained." ”

"Thank you, thank you."

After Tan Yuanwai thanked him repeatedly, he hurriedly left the small courtyard of the Hua family.
