iron face man laughing husband

The county magistrate is a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard. He looks like a scholar. He is wearing an official uniform.

Tie Qing was very familiar with the yamen servants on both sides. They were there when they ate mahua just now, and the oil stains on their hands were still there.

And Eldest Young Master Song was already kneeling there.

He has no fame, so he has to kneel when he goes to court.

Tie Qing had to kneel too, because he didn't even have the qualifications to avoid kneeling.

Both of them were kneeling, and their knees were chilly in such cold weather.

Xu Zhou begged the county magistrate, "Why don't you get up and answer, the ground is so cold here, let it freeze out again."

The county magistrate thought for a while, yes, he felt that the place was very cold, so he raised his hand.

Xu Zhou squeezed his throat and said, "You two get up and talk. The magistrate sees the weather is cold, so he is considerate of your body. Just stand up and talk. Your lord won't worry about it so much."

"Thank you sir!"

Well, this time the two spoke in unison.

After thanking him, he got up, but Young Master Song was very dissatisfied. As the plaintiff, he was the first to come in. He knelt down and saluted at that time.

If he had said no courtesy and no kneeling earlier, he would have stood up long ago.

Say no sooner!

Tie Qing took advantage, he knelt for a while, but got up again immediately.

Unlike the plaintiff, Young Master Song, he is the defendant, and he came in at least half an hour late.

As the county magistrate, Xu Zhou has the responsibility to try the case with the county magistrate, and is also responsible for giving ideas and some references.

The county magistrate looked at the two of them and opened his mouth: "The plaintiff, Song Peng, is suing the defendant, Tie Qing, for deceiving his sister and defrauding his mother..."

Tie Qing and the others were dumbfounded for a long time after hearing what the magistrate opened his mouth.

Because the county magistrate has a strange accent, he is not a local, but a southerner, where is he from the south?

No one knows.

Anyway, the county magistrate speaks pure official language.

I can understand what's going on, but that strange accent makes me unbearable... I want to laugh!

The words spoken by southerners sound a bit soft to northerners, and the county magistrate was born as a scholar, and the people who listened to him said Shiyun, but the general meaning was understood by Tie Qing.

The county magistrate spoke slowly, and after finishing the plaintiff's statement, he asked the defendant Tie Qing: "Are you convicted?"

"My lord, the grass people want to sue!" Tie Qing cupped his hands: "The grass people want to sue Song Jia for his bad intentions, disturbing the grain price market, and threatening the villagers to help the evildoers!"

What he said was interesting.

"Oh?" The county magistrate looked at Young Master Song: "Tell me."

Eldest Young Master Song was very angry. Tie Qing, a farmer, stood with him, in the courtroom, he was aggrieved enough, and wanted to be accused?

"My lord, the mother of the Song family used the price of grain as a bait to coerce the grassroots people to accept their daughter as a concubine, and bought the grain every year at a price of one copper plate higher than the market price, and asked the villagers to persuade my husband to agree. I was pinched by the mother of the Song family!" Tie Qing was telling the truth, and she also knew the art of language, wasn't it exaggeration?

What's the matter?

Not only did he say it, but he also showed the evidence, which was the grain purchase document signed by Mrs. Song at that time, something that Tie Qing had prepared long ago.

"The grass people have no choice but to break the law with their own bodies." Tie Qing said again: "According to the "Dazhen Law Code" regulations, civilians can accept a concubine to inherit the incense only when they are forty and childless. The grass people are 25 years old this year, and they have only been married for a year. Newly married, with a deep relationship with her husband, the matter of taking a concubine is really the result of being forced, please learn from me!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Eldest Young Master Song quickly retorted: "You blackmailed my family's fields and shop! Please learn from me, my lord."

"You are talking nonsense." Tie Qing also refuted his words: "When your sister was my concubine, she was a lowly concubine. According to the law, she was not allowed to have private wealth. I am the master, so the field and the shop are all mine, and I am willing to give them to my husband, what's the matter?"

When it comes to legal provisions, Eldest Young Master Song is not as good as Tie Qing, who has read the "Da Zhen Code" several times.

In fact, the county magistrate was not quite sure what the rules were, so he could only ask Xu Zhou beside him: "Is there really such a rule in the "Dazhen Code"?"

"There should be, have you forgotten? Tie Qing is the one who bought three copies of the "Great Dharma Code" and returned home. He probably reads them every day." The corners of Xu Zhou's mouth twitched. I even bought a set for myself, but I only read the beginning. There are several thick books there, who can read them all?

He just checked it when he was using it.

When it's not in use, I don't have the heart to read it... But Tie Qing can say so, is it because he has read it?

It's not easy, I admire it so much.

The county magistrate probably also thought of this: "Plaintiff, what do you have to say?"

What can Young Master Song have to say?Originally, their family didn't care about this matter, and they gave gifts to the county magistrate, but it didn't achieve the expected effect.

And Tie Qing cupped his hands: "My lord, please be the master of the grass people. In order to prevent that bitch woman from entering the door, the grass people didn't let her step over the threshold. They were directly tied under the old elm tree and smoked. Such a shameless woman can't enter. The gate of Caomin's house will ruin Caomin's reputation."

The spectators outside were buzzing, discussing as if the flies had eaten.

"So the Song family is like this?"

"I didn't see it!"

"The daughter of the Song family is so shameless."

"Mrs. Song is a widow. It's not easy for her to raise two children, but this family education is not good."

"There's a lot of gossip at the widow's door!"

"It's probably the same as her mother."

"Shameless!"

"Is there a shortage of men?"

The more I talked, the more I slipped down.

Young Master Song was so angry that his face turned red: "Master County Magistrate!"

He did know who to turn to, but the little money he gave was too hot for the county magistrate.

There are so many things that the common people know, if he turns black and white, will he still have it?

But the county magistrate is also in a dilemma. If he judges the Song family to lose the lawsuit, then the Song family's various relationships must not put pressure on him?

This is difficult.

Xu Zhou probably also saw that the county magistrate was in trouble, and after thinking for a long time, he secretly said: "It's better to hit [-] big boards each, and each side is safe, what do you think?"

"Not bad!" The county magistrate pronounced the verdict immediately.

The result was unexpected, and the outcome of the sentencing was very interesting.

The Song family used merchants to do treacherous things, seek ill-gotten gains, and seek unjust relatives. The Song family was sentenced to lose in this case.

As a grassroots citizen, Tie Qing performed the ceremony of accepting concubines, which violated the provisions of the law, so Tie Qing was sentenced to pay 20 taels of silver as a fine, as an example to others.

As for the fields and shops of the Song family, as Tie Qing said, at that time the Song family girl was the lowly concubine of the Tie family, so those things naturally belonged to the Tie family. Later, the Song family redeemed the Song family girl, and the Tie family also released them The daughter of the Song family is free, and the two families have nothing to do with each other.

Of course, they owe nothing to each other.

Tie Qing easily handed over her hands and gave the book office 20 taels of silver, and that was the end of the matter.

He hasn't lost a single hair!

Young Master Song was not convinced, but no matter how much he shouted for injustice or threatened with words, it was useless. In the end, he annoyed the county magistrate: "If you still feel wronged, you can continue to appeal. Just go to Fucheng to file a complaint. Are you there? Does anyone know anyone?"

Do you really think that you are the county magistrate for nothing?

With so many people watching and so many people knowing about it, why does he favor the Song family?

It was said that it was a very serious result, but the Song family was not injured, let alone wronged.

If it is really a powerful one, I am afraid that all the shops of the Song family will be confiscated, because their family has disrupted the grain price market. In such a big place, there are only a few grain stores, and the competition is fierce.

So many people who came to see the excitement were actually found by the shop owners and shopkeepers of the grain shop, and they greatly publicized this matter.

If the Song family wants to collect grain, they have to sell it at a high price of three copper coins per catty.

Otherwise, it is estimated that when the time comes, they will not receive a catty of grain.

The county magistrate lined up a row of gavels and withdrew immediately.

The others dispersed, and no one looked at Young Master Song at all.

The angry Young Master Song flicked his sleeves: "Let's go!"

This is really embarrassing and thrown at home. He wants to go back to find someone to trust and continue to appeal.

Tie Qing felt relieved, and took his uncle out of the Yamen Gate, turned back to Yang Daqing and said, "You have a chance to find someone to eat, and I'll reimburse you."

"You don't need to say, I usually treat them to a meal." Yang Daqing said, "It's a good thing I didn't move the board today."

If the board is moved, of course they will take advantage of it, and Young Master Song may suffer.

"Then you can figure it out, we two will go back first." Tie Qing couldn't say much, he could only pat him on the shoulder, and then left.

The two of them didn't go back to the inn after leaving the hall of the county government office. It was actually already afternoon at this time. In the days of two meals, at this point, it was time for dinner. It was a little early, and it was time to make dinner. But the two still went to Shilixiang.

Shopkeeper Tian also went to see it. Seeing Tie Qing coming, he dragged the two of them into a private room very rudely: "What's going on? After I heard about it, I wanted to visit your house."

"You still say!" Tie Qing gave him a white look: "I heard that the young master of the Song family has a good relationship with the young master of your Tian family. The young master of your Tian family is the emperor's nephew or something?"

This relationship has twists and turns, and Tie Qing also feels that this relationship chain is a bit fragile.

"What does this have to do with my young master? My young master is a scholar, and the one from the Song family has no fame." Shopkeeper Tian frowned: "Besides, my mistress is indeed the daughter of the royal merchant Xue's family. My eldest and young master would not tell anyone, but he would pull the tiger's skin to pull the banner."

This matter caused trouble, shopkeeper Tian swears that this matter has nothing to do with his master.

Tie Qing believed him, but Xiao Wei didn't say anything.

Shopkeeper Tian simply invited the two of them to have a meal.

Braised pork ribs, big elbow in sauce, two hard dishes.

After drinking some wine, it is considered a consummation of merit and virtue.

But the old Song's family can't do it, it's probably too sad, Mrs. Song died that night!

Young Master Song only found out the next day that his mother was dead!

What's wrong with this, hurry up and do the funeral.

On the second day of the funeral, Miss Song was barely able to leave the house. A group of officers and soldiers came to the Song family. They were from the army, and the compradors in the army had changed!

It was discovered that the logistical purchase of food was a tampering thing, and people from the army came to investigate the matter.

Only then did the elder know what was going on with the Song family.

It turns out that the Song family really prospered in the hands of Master Song. After Master Song passed away, Mrs. Song also had a big vision. She ignored the conventional business and focused on military supplies. The unhealthy tendencies of the old people still remain, and the person who bought them in the army was a corrupt official.

Mrs. Song tossed most of the family's wealth out, and finally opened up all kinds of joints, and got the job of supplying food to the army. The army has food and grass approved by the imperial court. There are not many local purchases, but it is still a big deal.

But now because the superior finally sent General Zhenbei to guard the border. After the general came, he brought a group of more than 20 account settlers with him, and before he entered the gate, he sent people to check the accounts.

The tricky things about the Song family and the procurement were found out.

Now, the army is trying to recover those losses, and the Song family... was directly copied.
