Chapter 29: Seeking Justice
The county commander asked the yacha to arrest people and collect criminal evidence as soon as possible.
Weak Xuan suggested that they go to the gambling house in the city to arrest people, and when they entered the city and passed by the gambling house, she saw that Zhao was still inside.
Zhao was indeed inside, and after stealing the silver yesterday, she immediately entered the city to return the money owed to the gambling house.
After paying off the gambling debt of five taels, there was still one tael left in her hand, and she couldn't help but try her luck when she pinched the silver.
After all, if she wins and turns over, she can quietly put the money back.
Then, the first round was really won!
Won the second round too!
I'm so excited!
Good luck is coming!
Then she sat down on her ass and never got up.
At dawn, Zhao walked out of the gambling house unkempt with an IOU of two hundred taels on his back.
Finished!
How can you lose so much?
I don't know what is in those brocade boxes in Liu's house, and if they are stolen and sold, how much silver can they be exchanged?
Zhao was really scared this time, and if he didn't pay back the money he owed to the gambling house, he would be cut off.
Two hundred taels, that's too much!
No matter what, there is usually no one in the weak family during the day, they all go to the ground, she goes back first to steal everything, and she can sell as much silver as she can, otherwise two hundred taels, where will she find it?
As soon as Zhao ran down the street, he was taken away by the weak water with the yacha!
Above the official court
Zhao knelt on the ground, his two elephant legs shaking into a sieve.
Where has she ever seen such a battle?
Zhang Xian Ling slapped the court wood: "Zhao, your father-in-law accused you of deliberately designing to frame him to destroy your innocence, pretending to be happy, and cheating on marriage!" He also stole the silver of his mother-in-law and abused his nieces at home, can there be such a thing? ”
With a finger of her little finger, she quietly gave her a fairy recipe that spouted the truth.
Zhao hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "The county commander is wronged!" I did do those things, I knew that Xianggong's eyes couldn't see at night, deliberately sweated under his wine, made him unconscious, and then pretended to be lost, and then pretended to be happy, and tricked Xianggong into marrying me, but in fact, nothing happened. ”
Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment after speaking, she was stupid, how could she tell the truth?
She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, Lord County Commander, I said something wrong!" I haven't done anything like that! I just stole six pieces of silver from my family, and I have a share of that silver, right? It's not stealing! Xuanbao is really an idiot, she almost choked to death when she was fed a mouthful of custard, what does it matter to me? She's just a bad guy, and I've lost so much silver, so what's wrong with me pinching her a few times? Whose children weren't beaten up by their elders? Whoever will spoil an idiot like a jewel......"
As he spoke, Zhao covered his mouth and was about to cry!
No, how did she say all the words in her heart?
Zhao waved his hand vigorously: "My lord is wronged!" I'm not, I haven't done anything I said! ”
The master and the yacha of the yamen both looked at her in shock, so did she come to confess her guilt or shout injustice?
Weak Water and Weak River were about to die of anger, and the two knelt down at the same time: "Please let your lord be the master for us!" Such a poisonous woman, our weak family dare not stay! ”
Zhao Shi was in a hurry: "No, my lord, I didn't do it, I really didn't do it, those were my heart's words just now, I didn't know how to say it all, my lord was wronged!" ”
Weak River: "My lord, Zhao has told the truth in his heart, he has confessed, she abused my niece, please make the decision for my niece!" ”
"No, sir, I don't! That's just heart, I haven't done it! Adults are wronged! ”
Master Zhang slapped the startled wood hard: "Silence! ”
Zhao was so frightened that he shut up.
Master Zhang said to the doctor on the side: "Doctor Lin, you diagnose Zhao's pulse." ”
This doctor is also a member of the Yamen, and in addition to the autopsy, he is also very good at verifying the body.
A living person, he can know whether the other party is a virgin or a child by virtue of the number line, and even knows how many children the other party has given birth to.
Zhao ran away when he heard this, "I don't diagnose the pulse!" I don't check the pulse! ”
It's just that she was soon pinned down by two yachas.
Zhao resisted frantically: "I don't ...... pulse"
Dr. Lin grabbed her wrist and said after a while: "Back to my lord, this woman is not happy and innocent. ”
Weak Xuan glanced at Dr. Lin curiously: Hey, this person has something on his body.
Weak River breathed a sigh of relief: he knew that he had never done anything.
Lord Zhang was shocked: "Zhao, you cheated on marriage first, stole later, and abused the children in the family, bad behavior, vicious character, legal principles are not tolerated, and you will be punished with ten boards to set an example!" The official gives you ten days to return the bride price and the stolen money to the weak. ”
Zhao slumped on the ground: "My lord, I was wronged!" How can I have any money back! ”
Weak Shu took out two letters of resignation from his arms and threw one of them on Zhao's body: "My lord, I want to divorce Zhao's." ”
"My lord, I don't want to be suspended, Weak River looks at my body, and he should be responsible...... Hmm...... "Zhao was dragged down by the yacha.
Mr. Zhang doesn't care whether others divorce his wife or not, "If you divorce your wife, after you leave the court, you can take the letter of divorce and go to the master to change your household registration." Retire! ”
After settling the family dispute case, Mr. Zhang went to the back of the county office to change his clothes.
When he first took office, he planned to go around the villages below, inspect the people's conditions, and see how to make the people in the county live a good life.
Shaxi County is located in the southernmost part of Xuanyuan Country, where there are many mountains, miasma, wetlands and wastelands, he wants to make use of these wastelands, but he can't think of a good way for a while.
Weak He took the letter of resignation and followed the master to revise the household registration, and crossed out the household registration of the Zhao family from the weak family.
At this point, the Zhao family was finally suspended!
Weak Water and Xuanbao were waiting on the board car outside, they saw Master Zhang walking out from behind in civilian clothes, ready to get on the horse, Xuanbao shouted to him in a milky voice: "Lord County, please wait!" ”
Liu waited for the board car to not enter the yamen, and there were a few bags of hemp bamboo shoots on the board car.
Hearing Xuanbao's words, she looked over, her eyes did not light up, and a flash of surprise appreciated: This is the new county magistrate? So young and handsome?
The weak water black face, the body moved, blocking Liu's sight.
Liu: "......"
She just admires the beauty, what is he in his way?
Zhang Xianling looked over and smiled softly: "What's the matter with Xuanbao?" ”
Weak Xuan patted the hemp bag on the car: "My lord, thank you for upholding justice for our family, these are mushroom shoots, they are delicious, give them to you and Brother Qian." ”
Zhang Xianling wanted to refuse, but when he heard the name of a fresh meal, and heard Xuanbao mention his son's name, he thought of the books his son bought yesterday, as well as those persimmons, dates and chestnuts.
The annotations on that book were even amazing to him when he read them! In particular, his insights on agriculture were refreshing.
There are also those persimmons, dates, chestnuts, and even my daughter, who has always been a picky eater, can't stop eating.
Was it sold by this family?
It seems that the weak family is quite related to their own family.
So he walked over: "What are the bamboo shoots?" ”
Weak water said: "It's the stem on the mushroom, which was inadvertently discovered by the little girl and can be eaten, and it tastes good." ”
He knew that if this Lord Zhang was a good county magistrate, he would have investigated the geography and folklore of Shaxi County, and he would find that there were many wetlands in Shaxi County with wild herbs.
Weak Water used to want to test his fame and take a career in office, and he knew that it was also a merit to find that this bamboo shoots could be eaten.
Zhang Xianling was stunned for a moment, the stalk of the grass? Is it the stems of the mushrooms that grow in the wetlands?
Liu handed over a bamboo shoot burrito: "Taste it, my lord, this is a burrito made of wild bamboo shoots." ”
Xuanbao nodded: "Well, the bamboo shoot rolls made by my mother are delicious!" ”
Weak water: "......"
Should this mother and daughter be so enthusiastic?
That's the mushroom roll he kept and didn't eat!
The county order, a bearded little white face who pretends to be mature and stable in his thirties, how can he be gentle and elegant, and naturally beautiful?
