Chapter 174: The Game
Qin Coriander's arrival made things a little out of control, what was the big thing that forced a lifting person and a pregnant woman who was about to give birth to go to court?
The onlookers were not allowed to approach, except for a few people in front who could vaguely hear something, and the latter was purely focused on participation, but it still couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm and use their imagination to discuss.
A game without gunpowder was quietly staged.
The county order is an official, and it has been very smooth to come here, after getting rid of Li County, the new county official is also the person he recommends, and now the county government, the entire rich and prosperous Qijiang County is his word.
Therefore, even if Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xun came up together and brought so many onlookers, he was still fearless.
even quickly decided in his heart that the lord would perform the image of a fair and strict good official.
Qin Xun came over in person, and he really didn't worry about Xiao Chenyu, after all, he didn't have much experience, and he was afraid that he would suffer a loss in the face of this old fox-like county order alone.
Sitting in the chair, Qin Xun looked at the county order, and a few questions kept circling in his mind: What exactly does this person want? What exactly do you want to do? Is there someone behind him?
The county magistrate didn't hear Qin Xun's questioning, but instead slapped the startled wood and shouted quietly, seriously maintaining his dignity and discipline in the hall.
What is the point of letting two women quarrel and shout on his turf?
It's just that the county magistrate didn't need to continue to interrogate today's matter, so he appeased both sides, first scolded the Huang family for slandering his niece and nephew and son-in-law, and warned her not to act so casually in the future.
Subsequently, he reprimanded Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xun: "Today's incident, although your aunt is at fault, but it is also excusable, the only man in the family had an accident, and the two women immediately panicked, and they were instigated by someone with a heart, so they committed a stupid thing." ”
Speaking of this, he stopped to observe the expression on Qin Xun's face, but he couldn't see any emotion, and he said in his heart that this woman did have some Taoism, and she was a little surprised.
Immediately, he said: "The grievances between the two of you have been going on for a long time, and I can't tell who is right and who is wrong for a while. According to the official's intentions, this grievance should be resolved rather than settled, and I think it is better for you to shake hands and make peace in front of the official. ”
As soon as the words fell, Huang and Tao Niang breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces were also a little happy, but Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xun did not speak, and they didn't even have any change in expression, and they still sat firmly like clocks.
The county commander was annoyed, and made up for it, and reprimanded Huang and Tao Niang: "If you dare to go to court in the future, you will have to fight the board first and then talk about the case next time." ”
Huang thought to himself: Where is there a next time, this time it will be scared to death.
So, she kowtowed again and again, called Master Qingtian, and swore that she would not come in the future.
Qin Xun spoke at this time: "The words of the adults make the women very puzzled. The two of them went to the yamen one after another to falsely accuse us of husband and wife, and the county magistrate was all magnanimous about this, but he made many accusations against us, and when he said it, I am afraid that everyone thought that it was our husband and wife who were not of good character, which led to the lack of contact with the second uncle and second aunt. ”
"Of course, I also understand the truth that it is better to settle the dispute. Therefore, when the lord sent me to our house to frame our second uncle, and ordered him to be good, we could only knock out our teeth and swallow blood, and even if he wanted to go to the land of fireworks and the gambling house for the sake of old disrespect, we could only take out the silver to provide him with food, drink, and merry, and do those unbearable things, and we could not resist. ”
Qin Xun stood up and sneered, "But, have you ever known, why don't our two families get along?" Is it really as the second uncle said, our family is developed and does not recognize poor relatives? ”
Because Qin Xun took a few more steps towards the door and raised his voice again, the people outside were quiet and listened.
"My mother was sold by the Su family back then, and we didn't have much contact with each other later. Later, my second uncle came to the door under the guise of family affection and took the only shop that my mother and I relied on to live to open a teahouse, but did not give us the shop rent, which was simply bullying.
My mother and I couldn't afford to provoke it, so I thought about avoiding it, so when I became a relative, I followed my husband to live in the county seat, but I never expected that this person still didn't let us go, and also found the county office, I don't know what he said, he actually got the order of the county order, went to the door again, and showed off his might.
I, an ignorant woman, do I not know if there is such a thing in this world? I also want to ask, how many people are so aggrieved in the world as my husband? ”
Openly and secretly, they all pulled the county order in, the county order's face changed greatly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Qin Xun turn around and smile at him, and said slightly: "Of course, our husband and wife also know that the county commander must have been deceived, and because the adults care about the people, are upright, and are the real parents and officials who think about every people, so they have been deceived."
Therefore, our husband and wife have never blamed the grievances on the adults, but are happy that Qijiang County has such a good parental official. ”
After speaking, she turned to the people outside, raised her voice and said: "Everyone has seen that our parents and officials really love the people like children, and they will not be protected by my husband. Therefore, if you have grievances in the future, you can go to the yamen to ask for help from our adults. ”
The people outside whispered, passing Qin Xun's words to the back.
However, the county magistrate had a gloomy face, lowered his eyes and waited patiently for Qin Xun to finish his tirade, then he looked at Xiao Chenyu with a smile, and mocked in a voice that was not big but enough for Xiao Chenyu to hear: "Xiao Juren, you are a man, and you actually let a woman stand out in front of you, you are really promising!" ”
After speaking, he shook his head to express his disappointment and disdain for him.
This is a trick to sow discord, it is used very directly, the vast majority of men have to be fooled, who can stand to be ridiculed for being pressed by a woman?
Xiao Chenyu in the past may be able to bear it, after all, he has nothing to rely on, although Qin Xun is the daughter of the Qin family's outer room, but after all, Xiao Chenyu still has to rely on the Qin family. But now I'm afraid it's going to be reversed, the Qin family has to pay more attention to Xiao Chenyu, if it goes further, Xiao Chenyu is the one who wants to be an official, how can he still swallow his anger?
Of course, these are the thoughts of the county order, and as for Xiao Chenyu, he naturally won't think like this.
However, he also made a helpless look towards the county order, and then lowered his head and did not speak, as if he was an honest scholar who was bullied but was powerless to resist.
The county order secretly cursed: useless things.
In his heart, the suspicion that Xiao Chenyu had entered the fire was reduced a little.
The county magistrate is also a lord who can bend and stretch, and at this time his face has already put on a stunned and sad expression, and then he looks distressed.
"Alas, the official thinks that he loves the people like a son, and thinks that the housework should be the main thing to untie the knot, but I didn't expect things to be as I expected, but the official has done more. That being the case, according to the meaning of the second Mrs. Xiao, but do you want the official to punish the two Huang family? ”
