During this confrontation, both sides looked bad.

Before Mr. Xie could speak, the third son of the Xie family rushed to the uncle and cursed: "Damn it, how could you dare to come?"

The uncle said angrily: "Why don't I dare to come?"

General Xie grabbed Xie Laosan and said, "Don't cause trouble, this is the gate of the yamen."

Lin Gaozhe took a step forward and bowed to General Xie, "In-laws, I have something wrong with the past. Everyone is a neighbor. They are emotionally consulted and made a mess in the yamen, and everyone is not good-looking."

Mr. Xie sneered twice: "My surname is Lin, it's too late to admit defeat now. OK, I don't want to bully others by relying on my power. I'll have the same two ways. One, you take your son and kowtow to my daughter in the village and ask my daughter to return home. The other is the dowry and make-up of my daughter. The money she saved in the past few years will be returned to my grandson. My grandson will return to my Xie family. We will be clean."

Lin Gaozhao said, "Your daughter steals the wealth of her husband's family and is mean to her. I will not tolerate her anymore, let alone apologize. As for her return to her parents' home, I can give this makeup, but if the others are not possible, do you think it will be possible."

Mr. Xie laughed and said, "You old fool, is my daughter begging you to ask for it? Are I here to reason with you today?"

The uncle said angrily: "This is too bullying. How can there be such a domineering person?"

Mr. Xie looked at his uncle and said, "The people from the Xie family are domineering, and it's not the first day you know."

"Since that's the case, we can only be against the court." Lin Gao said in a deep voice. He was considered to be a polite first and then a soldier.

Mr. Xie sneered: "For Bogong, you don't know where the yamen is opened. Look, this is the lawsuit written by Mr. Ge. The lawyer in the provincial capital. He is in five fingers. If he loses, he will cry!"

The county yamen were quarreling for a while, and the yamen finally reacted a little. It was too fierce to cause trouble and used some sticks to educate them.

At this time, a clerk shouted: "I'll wait for the complaint first, and then the envoy of the punishment room will come to collect it. I'll tell everyone on both sides that I'll come to court first."

As soon as the yamen runners said, the people on the side were all turbulent. With Lin Yanchao and the others following the waves, they lined up in front of the county yamen, and then entered the county yamen gate in turn.

The Houguan County Government Office looked a bit dilapidated, no wonder the last time it was rebuilt was during the Xuande period, and it was more than 180 years. This is not too honest, and the officials are superstitious about whether the officials should build the government office.

The magistrates who had been in the next 180 years, practiced the style of the new three years, repairing and repairing for another three years. Only during the Zhengtong and Zhengde periods, the sermons and back halls were built, and the rest were the same. Lin Yanchao followed Lin Gao and the uncle passed the gate of the county government, which was the middle gate. This was the heart of the county government. To the west of the middle gate was the county prison, the Yin Hotel and the land temple were the east.

The guardian's door allowed all the people led by the yamen runners to let go. As for the other relatives of the miserable, the people who came to the yamen to wander around were also let go and let them enter the middle gate. This is what the county master said. Every time Zhou Zhixian went to the hall to handle the case on the day of his refusal, he would allow the people to listen to the people to show justice and tranquility.

After passing the middle gate, there is the county yamen main hall, the east of the hall is the Dianshi Hall, the west of the hall is the warehouse, and the trunk pavilion. Behind the main hall is the magistrate, the county magistrate, the divine history, and the chief clerk. These places are not open to the public and are not allowed to visit.

The people were piled up on the main hall platform, and there were only three or four hundred people who came to sue.

"Ascending to the hall!"

With a powerful sound, the yamen began to go to the hall. The yamen runners took their place, shouting for power, and the water and fire sticks poked on the ground, beating loudly.

The hundreds of people outside suddenly calmed down, full of fear of authority. But he saw County Magistrate Zhou walking out of the hall in his official robe and walking in his eight-character steps. Master and Lord Bo followed behind.

When Zhou Zhixian met in the social school, Lin Yanchao felt that this person was very powerful. Today, the official power was even more important. Zhou Zhixian sat under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, picked up the complaint on the case, said a few words to the master, sat aside the bookkeeper and rolled the name to investigate the case.

Lord, the two parties knelt in the hall to make a statement. Zhou Zhixian looked at the complaint and listened to the two of them telling each other.

After hearing several cases, they were all completed and finished reading the paper. Most of the stories were made without asking a few questions. In addition to major cases, they asked a few more words to tell the two parties.

It’s not that I don’t want to ask, but that I can’t speak. Most of the people who come to complain can’t speak official language. The county magistrates who are all foreigners are the ones, so the paper is the simplest and clearest. Lin Yanchao then suddenly realized why the proficiency of litigation was so developed in ancient times. It turned out that officials judged cases on paper. Therefore, the quality of a complaint is related to the success or failure of the case.

After a while of trial, there was a slap in the hall. It turned out that a case was in which the father favored the wife and married the wife, and was mean to the son of his ex-wife. Later, the son sued his father. Zhou Zhixian reported the case, and without asking about the situation, he ordered the yamen runners to arrest his son and beat him thirty.

The reason is that the son sues his father and is unethical.

Lin Yanchao also sorted out the thinking of the ancients bit by bit.

Confucian rule of law is inherited from the Han Dynasty's citation and judgment of the sacrificial jails. The Qing official Hai Rui once said that instead of wronging his brothers and elder brothers, he would rather wronging his nephew than wronging his uncles and uncles, he would rather wronging his nephew than not understanding this point. For example, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty submitted a memorial to the emperor, there was always a sentence in it: The holy dynasty governed the world with filial piety, and instead of ruled the world with filial piety, he would rather rule the world with law.

This way of deciding a case is more important to educate the people and guide the trend, rather than simply probing a case.

My son fainted after being beaten to the point of blood, and was poured into cold water by the yamen runners, and then he was retried. Seeing this scene, the people outside the field changed a little bit. Even Lin Yanchao was a little shocked. He was really not fun to sue. Zhou Zhixian tried more than a dozen cases in one breath, and five or six people were beaten and beaten after a meal.

"The Xie family complained about the Lin family's case of beating his wife for no reason. One person came forward from the Xie family and the Lin family." The clerk sitting on the desk sang the name.

Mr. Xie glanced at the Lin family and said, "Linpusi, please!"

Lin Gaozhao glanced at Mr. Xie, but his heels did not move.

"Are you scared?" Mr. Xie said sarcastically.

"Mr. Xie, to deal with you, my Lin family is just a three-foot boy. Why do my grandfather take action?" Lin Yanchao took a step forward.

"You... don't mislead yourself," Mr. Xie cursed. He didn't expect Lin Yanchao to confront him.

"Don't worry, I won't show mercy."

"Hmph, you will cry at that time." Mr. Xie walked into the lobby with his sleeves and knelt down on the bricks.

Lin Yanchao also stepped over the threshold, stepped into the hall, and knelt beside Mr. Xie.

This was the first time Lin Yanchao had tasted the feeling of kneeling in ancient times. His face was pressed on the ground, and he only saw the soles of the soles of the left and right soap officials.

"Raise your head!"

Lin Yanchao raised his head and saw it in the court. County Magistrate Zhou was sitting behind the case, picked up the tea and took a sip. The yamen runners beside him shouted: "Who is kneeling in the hall? Let's sign up!"

"The little people Xie Xiao, who is a native of Miaofeng Village, Yong'anli, Hongtang Township, and has been appointed as Yong'anli in the second year of Qinglong."

After hearing this, Zhou Zhixian said, "Chief Xie is the place where the imperial court educates, get up and reply!"

"Thank you, my parents!" Mr. Xie stood up with a bit of pride. In the court, people without fame and fortune would have to kneel from beginning to end, and Mr. Xie could not kneel, which was the power of the village chief.

"Xiaomin Lin Yanchao is a native of Hongshan Village, Yong'anli, Hongtang Township. He has been studying in the society for two years. His father was a scholar during the Qinglong period and his name was Ding."

When Zhou Zhixian heard that he was a scholar, he nodded slightly and looked carefully, saying, "This is not the boy from Hongtang Society. Why did you come to sue the village chief?"

A stone fell in Lin Yanchao's heart. He was afraid that County Magistrate Zhou would not recognize him, so he deliberately came in the old clothes he had seen Hu Tixue in the Society that day. Mr. Xie's face changed drastically. He looked at Lin Yanchao repeatedly, feeling a bad thing in his heart.

Lin Yanchao replied: "Thanks to the old parents' concern, the Xie family was originally a relative. When his grandfather heard that his family was instructed by his eldest daughter-in-law, he complained to the yamen from nothing, and was so angry that he was all burned. The grandson was worried about his grandfather's body, so he responded to the news on behalf of his grandfather!"

Mr. Xie scolded in his heart that he was such a despicable child, but he slandered himself before the trial was launched. The people watching on the side were also talking, one was praising Lin Yanchao for being filial, and the other was worried that Lin Yanchao would be a child, how could Lin Yanchao be against an adult? This is not bullying the small by the big.

Lin Yanchao heard the discussion and smiled slightly. On the one hand, he emphasized that his grandson responded to the grandfather's message, which was a filial act. On the other hand, he secretly criticized his daughter-in-law for suing her husband and father-in-law, which violated the principle of husband being the wife's rule and father-in-law. Referring to the previous example of the son suing his father, he had a three-point chance of winning without a lawsuit. This is a moral advantage.

The people and clerks began to discuss, and public opinion was already on the side of Lin Yanchao.

Zhou Zhixian did not show any partiality, but said lightly: "Whether the Xie family is accused of your grandfather, I have a judgment on my own. Your father is a scholar, so get up and reply!"

Lin Yanchao stood up.

"Read the complaints from the Xie family to them."

He held a pen and wrote a book on the side, and spread the paper and thought loudly.

...After the woman passed by, she was bullied and thought that she was ugly like a mountain ghost. She was often heard of it. She was still not yet lunch, but she was already worried that lunch was missing. She was still calm and bright, and she was already angry about the morning and night. Such things cannot be listed...

...There are many grips on the face and the blue edges between the arms. Whenever they are beaten, they can only shout. When the neighbors hear it, they feel sad, and passers-by cry...

...Who has no children, wouldn't be sad...

The lawsuit is 70% true, which is why the ancient litigants could help others win the lawsuit without appearing in court to defend themselves. Lin Yanchao heard that the lawsuit was extremely heartbreaking and very literary. He was really worthy of being a litigant who could rank five fingers into the provincial capital.

Several people who didn't know the truth were beginning to be indignant. As for the lack of indignation, they were just too low in education and could not understand it.

"It's really a big trouble for whose daughter married their family."

"The county respects the master and must maintain justice for the people!"

If it weren't for the moral advantages that Lin Yanchao had created before, the people would have supported the Xie family one-sidedly.

The uncle couldn't help but say, "This is simply nonsense, nothing is true! Dad, why doesn't Chao Jian argue?"
