(Thank you Xiaoke for the tip. This book will be on the shelves soon. After it is on the shelves, there will be double updates, plus more pink updates. Everyone save a guaranteed monthly ticket and support it then!) Mr. Hu’s revenge came very quickly.

When I heard that Ouyang's family was driven out of the house because of the blessings, they immediately filed a complaint and brought Hui Niang and her daughter in front of Lord Zuntang of the local county.

If Nianfu hadn't cooked for Mrs. Tang and kindly enlightened her, she would have been escorted into the palace together with her mother in shackles.

However, Manager Feng, who reported the letter in private, also told them clearly, "The petition has been handed in, and there is no way that I will ignore it. You should go and hire a lawyer as soon as possible, so that Haosheng can answer it."

Huiniang asked anxiously, "He was obviously the one who was rude that day, so why did he sue us instead?"

Manager Feng glanced at Nianfu and said after careful consideration, "Let's just pay back the others. The main thing he is suing is that Sister Mu hit him with a stone on his lower back that day, causing him to fall off his horse. He will be injured for several months."

It’s not good either. On the contrary, I can’t even walk, and I even pooped on the bed. The doctor said it was caused by the injury that day, but it’s a bit troublesome.”

Hui Niang changed her color in shock, but after reading the blessing, she knew that she probably fell to her tailbone and was paralyzed. Such an injury may not be cured even in modern times, let alone in ancient times?

"Then...what's the worst case scenario?"

Seeing the little girl's pale face, Manager Feng couldn't bear it, but he could only tell her truthfully, "Although Mr. Hu was rude in this incident, he argued that he was drunk at the time and was in a state of confusion.

He was chased by you when he was about to escape. If you think about it seriously, he does have some truth. If you are convicted, either your family will be able to pay a full amount of gold and silver and settle the case, or you will have to confiscate your family property to pay off the debt, or even be a criminal.

To be punished in court.”

Aunt Shi suddenly turned pale with fright. The old man knew that being tortured was not fun. It meant stripping off your pants and spanking her. Some female victims would rather suffer the consequences than go to court. This is why.

"When we read the blessings, we are still a little girl's family. Even Huiniang is a young daughter-in-law. How can they go to court? Why don't we ask the steward to help us and let me go on our behalf." As the only male in the family, Mr. Shi has no shirk of responsibility.

stood up.

Manager Feng was confused, "Of course you can come forward, Father Shi, but they are the defendants, and they still have to go to court. Don't make it difficult for adults. I'll leave first, and you should hurry up and do the accounting.

The lawyer hired by the Hu family is one of the most experienced criminals in the area. Even Mr. Tang is afraid of him. You have to find someone powerful. By the way, here is the ten taels of silver given by the madam. You can use it.

Bar."

Huiniang said anxiously, "Then can you ask your wife to say a good word..."

"Mother." Nianfu suddenly said, stepping forward to take the money, "Thank you, uncle, for your help."

Manager Feng's words made it very clear. Now that the world has settled down, official assessment must be quite strict, especially if the other party has hired a powerful lawyer. County Lord Tang cannot risk his official reputation for the sake of his family, so he handles this case.

Everything will be in order, just like what Manager Feng said. Even if they ask the county lady again, it will be of no use except making people embarrassed. To put it bluntly, the county lady sent these ten taels of silver to tell them tactfully that she can help

It can only go so far.

When Manager Feng saw that Nianfu only took one ingot and five taels, and kept five taels for himself, he understood that this was for his hard work. If it were others, he would not be polite, but seeing that the young and old in the family were sick and weak, Manager Feng still

It was really unbearable. Especially seeing that Nian Fu was sensible and did not follow Madam Hui to embarrass their wife. He also stuffed the five taels of silver over and said, "You're welcome, go and get busy."

He turned around and left, leaving the Shi family looking at each other, not knowing what to do. People who have never been to a lawsuit in their eight lives, where can they find a lawyer?

In fact, Nianfu thought that if Mr. Wu was willing to help, the matter would be somewhat certain. But the problem was that he had always been the one who came to Ouyang's family. Now that they had broken up with Ouyang's family, where could they go to find him?

As a last resort, I had to go to Aunt Li next door to see if there was anyone she knew.

The Shi family here is looking for a lawyer all over the city, but there is one over there who is eager to recommend himself.

"Grandma, please let your grandson help them. In that matter, your grandson is also responsible. If I hadn't beaten that guy named Hu, how could I have caused him to fall off his horse later?"

The old lady laughed angrily, "Then do you want to go to court and say that you are actually the murderer? With your eloquence, you can drag people down with just three sentences. If you still want to help people, it's good if you don't cause trouble.

Got it!"

Ouyang Kang was speechless for a moment, and then said after a while, "We can't just leave them alone, right? Then they are too pitiful!"

The old lady glanced at him and said, "If you are not a relative or a friend, even if you are pitiful, it is still their business. Why are you so enthusiastic? A noble man is not afraid of others gossiping. Go back, this is not your business."

Ouyang Kang still wanted to argue, but was pulled out by Aunt He, who quietly told him, "Don't worry, the old lady has already sent someone to ask for a lawyer for them. It is for your own good that you are not involved, and it is also for the sake of their mother and daughter."

For the sake of reputation.”

Ouyang Kang felt relieved after hearing this, and smiled again, "I knew grandma was not such a cruel person."

After seeing him leave, Grandma He went back and asked the old lady, "This matter is still related to the third room. The old lady should make plans in advance."

The old lady held incense and bowed in front of the Buddha. She bowed twice more and then whispered, "Don't worry."

Suddenly he sneered again, "But for the sake of a Jade Guanyin, you can force people into the tiger's mouth. With such a character, what else can you hope for?"

Grandma He sighed, "Speaking of character, the second master is the best. When I was so young, when I saw the old slave taking a nap, she would always bring me a coat to wrap it around. It was a pity that he left too early.

"

The old lady also sighed, "That child is too kind to take it personally. When he was running away from a disaster, the third child cut his finger and howled loudly. But as for him, he was so sick and still endured it alive.

He will eventually die. Otherwise, now that he is here, I won't be so miserable."

"Isn't that true? After all, he is your biological son. The third master was not very conspicuous when he was a child, but he has become estranged since he got a wife. After all, there is a layer of separation between him and you hurting him in vain."

But the old lady snorted coldly, "Even if it crawled out of my belly, the pain would be in vain? It all depends on the person."

Aunt He knew that she was talking about the eldest brother of the family, Ouyang Kang's biological father, so she felt sad and couldn't persuade her. But as soon as the old lady raised her eyes, she looked at the figure coming in from the door. Knowing that someone was eavesdropping, she

He deliberately raised his voice and said, "These sons of mine are all unreliable. Only Kang'er is kind-hearted at the moment. Whatever good things I have in the future, they will be left to those who are filial to me. No one else can get involved!"

"

At midnight, these words reached the ears of the third wife, and she was so angry that she immediately smashed the teacup in her hand, "Why? That little bastard is her grandson, isn't Brother Qing?"

"Madam, please calm down. It's better to think of a way to deal with it." Camellia, who had always been dignified, showed an unknown face and said in a low voice, "There are a lot of good things in the old lady's place, but it's a pity that they are all locked up tightly. From now on,

Don't let anyone look at you. If you really give it to the eldest young master, what will the second young master do? You can't just watch it like this, right?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Camellia smiled and said, "If you are the young master now, of course there is nothing you can do, but if you are a young master whose reputation has been ruined, even if the old lady wants to give him something, you can prevent him from taking it out of the house!"

The third wife was startled, "What do you mean by this -"

"There is an opportunity right now. Isn't the Shi family involved in a lawsuit? It has something to do with the eldest young master. He is also obsessed with getting involved. If something happens, Madam, do you think..."

The third wife nodded, and suddenly said in a friendly manner, "You are not young anymore, and you have done a lot of things for me in these years. When this matter is settled, I will find you a decent wife in a well-to-do family, and even sell yourself."

I will return all the deeds to you."

Camellia thanked her with a bit of shame, but not even the slightest blush appeared on her face. When she stepped back, the third wife thought for a moment, "Pearl, pearl!"

After a while, Pearl ran in in a panic, "Madam, what's the matter?"

The third wife glared at her displeasedly, "Where have you been? Your face is so pale, it looks like you've seen a ghost! And you're howling in mourning?"

Pearl quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled as hard as she could, "It's okay. I just ate something bad and vomited it twice, so it ended up like this."

The third wife stopped asking further questions and just said, "Go and find Bai Xuan quietly. I have something to give you."

Pearl responded, but another wave of retching came to her heart, but she was not unhappy at all, and her eyes shone with joy. After passing the words, she returned to the room, protecting her lower abdomen with both hands, and her eyes gradually calmed down.

A few days later, the Shi family's lawsuit began.

Because the matter was not over yet and the old lady did not let anyone say anything, the Shi family thought they were lucky to have hired a good lawyer and went to Mr. Tang to submit their letter of response.

Both parties gathered together, and Mr. Tang chose a day to go to court to start the trial. At this time, fairness and openness were also important when going to court, so the officials would beat gongs and drums to make notices, attracting many villagers to watch.

The first person to speak was the plaintiff, Mr. Hu, the victim. He was carried in by someone. He was obviously much puffier and fatter than before. Even though he took a bath and scented himself before going out, he still had a lingering smell on his body.

The smell was so disgusting that I thought I was really paralyzed.

The person who spoke for him was a lawyer named Zhang. As soon as this guy opened his mouth, Nianfu saw for the first time in his life what it means to be eloquent. He completely avoided the important and minimized Mr. Hu's fault, and instead said it was

A drunk man joked with Mu and her daughter after drinking too much, but was beaten and disabled out of revenge. This caused some people who did not know the truth to misunderstand Hui and her daughter.

Huiniang was so angry that she tried to speak several times, but Nianfu stopped her.

The county government office is not open in front of my house. It is still more than ten miles away from their place. If you are not familiar with the place, who will believe you if you tell me? It is better to wait until your lawyer speaks. e=《
