Chapter 27: It's not as good as love
After pronounced the aphorism, Zhou Zhixian could not see any joy and anger on his face, and asked General Xie in the hall, "Where is your daughter?"
General Xie lowered and said, "The Hou was beaten by his father-in-law and his husband outside the yamen. He was injured in his mind and physical condition and did not want to see anyone."
"It's said that she came in and tested her injuries."
Soon the aunt was invited in, but when she saw that her right face was bruised and swollen, the crowd was a little excited.
"It was all born to my parents. Even if I marry a wife, it will be the only one who is the one who is in the family!"
"The little people have witnesses, they are neighbors!" Mr. Xie was more arrogant and more than three points.
The witness is indeed from Hongshan Village, as if he was married to Hongshan Village in Miaofeng Village, but he is indeed a neighbor. The neighbor is now accusing Lin Gaozhu, how is his uncle mean to his wife on weekdays?
After hearing this, Zhou Zhixian threw the paper aside and asked General Xie, "What do you have to ask about your daughter being beaten?"
Mr. Xie said: "Please ask the old parents to break up the two of them. The Lin family should return my daughter's five acres of dowry land, and also hold Lin Gao for beating my daughter for being stripped of his service and imprisonment."
Zhou Zhixian nodded and said, "This is not too much."
Zhou Zhixian County said to Lin Yanchao: "According to the Ming Dynasty law, father-in-law or husband beat his wife and broke his wounds. This is a matter of justice. This official can force the couple to divorce and pursue the husband's family's faults. What are your objections?"
Lin Yanchao understood that according to Confucian law, just as a father can sue his son, but a son cannot sue his father; a husband can divorce his wife, but a wife cannot divorce his father. But when he really encounters the husband's family, the government decides the wife's family and judges the husband and wife to divorce. If the husband and wife should be separated, then the beard will be eighty!
Lin Yanchao also understood that if he could win this divorce lawsuit, he would be sentenced to seven or Yi Jue. If Yi Jue was judged, the aunt could get the five acres of dowry land as he wished, and Lin Gao was punished for beating his daughter-in-law. If it was seven, the aunt would not get anything.
Generally, the case of magistrate Zhou can be closed at this time. But magistrate Zhou does not. He is not biased towards the Lin family, but just wants to see how Lin Yanchao is capable.
Lin Yanchao did not look panicked at all, but did not refute.
Zhou Zhixian said: "Since you don't speak, I will think that you are poor. If you admit your guilt on your grandfather, how can I be sentenced to lightly?"
Lin Yanchao said: "When I say to my parents, although my grandfather has expelled my aunt from my family, I was still my elder in the past. If I say something bluntly in the classroom, I will be disrespectful to my elders. But if I don't say it, I will be unfilial to my grandfather."
Lin Yanchao came back and still held the word "filial piety". Mr. Xie didn't understand, but he was secretly yelling. The people on the side also thought that Lin Yanchao was right. Everyone thought that this young man knew how to protect the face of the family, and this aunt criticized him, how could he be a wife?
Bang!
Zhou Zhixian slapped Jingmutang and shouted: "I am going to give you a child, so I don't want to blame him. But if you can't make the decision, what do you come to the court to say and let your grandfather confess his guilt."
"Mr. County Master, it's so blue!" Mr. Xie couldn't help but kneel down, his words came from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Yanchao thought to himself that the magistrate was indeed not easy to fool, so he could only temporarily 'super' and said: "When I go back to my old parents, the students knew that they were wrong. But the students didn't know anything. As the neighbors saw, when my grandfather drove the aunt out of the house, he slapped her in the face, right?"
The woman who was witnessing the side replied, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
"Then the bruises on the aunt's face were indeed my grandfather's beating?"
"Yes, all the villagers can testify."
Lin Yanchao said: "But it has been almost a month since my grandfather slapped him. The bruises have not yet subsided for so long. Could it be that my grandfather has practiced the iron sand palm?"
Puff! The bookkeeper who was drinking tea sprayed half of the tea. When he saw Magistrate Zhou, he looked at him unhappily, and swallowed the remaining half of the tea.
And the people outside laughed.
"That was caused by long-term injury. In the past, I heard your grandfather beat Xie Madam for four or five days." The woman forced herself to defend herself.
"Do you dare to ask if it's four or five days apart?"
"There are six or seven days, more than two or three days. I heard it with my own ears." The woman quickly changed her mouth.
Lin Yanchao told County Magistrate Zhou: "My parents, my grandfather is working as an emergency shop. He only goes home for two days a month, and never returns home, otherwise he will leave his post without hesitation. How could this be said to be two or three days, four or five days, six or seven days?"
Haha! The people in the outer world laughed loudly again.
"It was the civilian woman who heard it wrong, or her husband beat her, but she heard it as her father-in-law."
Lin Yanchao looked at the civilian woman and sneered: "It's really a cow who eats grass on the house. The wind blows a thousand pounds of stones. A scoundrel is not a word. Let me ask you another question, is it because my father-in-law beaten or her husband beat him?"
The woman stammered: "It was either my father-in-law's fight, my husband's fight, or I fought together."
The Witness was confused, and Mr. Xie also rushed forward and said, "Old parents are here. No matter what, Lin Gao beat my daughter, it is true that this guy is beaten up. This alone can break the truth."
Lin Yanchao said calmly: "Zheng Jia, why bother to argue? The more you do this, the more you seem to be in the wrong. To be honest, my Lin family treats your daughter well, otherwise why should you hire the best lawyer in the provincial capital to write a petty complaint."
Speaking of this, County Magistrate Zhou frowned, but the lawyer was not favored by the government.
Lin Yanchao continued: "You said this is something out of nothing. If my Lin family had not treated your daughter well, why would you let your daughter hurt yourself? If my Lin family had not treated your daughter well, why would you find a woman who was unorganized to speak to perjury?"
"The more you plan these things carefully, the more you feel guilty. You arrange many tricks and think it's okay to fool us, but the old parents have the name of the sky. How can you hide such tricks from him?"
"It's nonsense, it's nonsense." Mr. Xie was so angry that he was embarrassed.
"You are talking about the old parents and grandpa, Qingtian. This sentence is nonsense and nonsense? Mr. Xie, I didn't expect when you will be so bold." Lin Yanchao mocked.
It was a burst of laughter again, and the people outside the venue were very happy. I haven't seen such a lawsuit for a long time, and it is rare to see such a smart child.
"You...small brat, why am I..." Mr. Xie Jia's teeth were about to break.
"President Xie Li, if you continue like this, I will regard you as a roaring court." County Magistrate Zhou slowly took the tea cover and picked the tea powder from the tea.
"The little people dare not." Mr. Xie's sweat dripped coldly and returned to his original place.
"Lin Yanchao, you are a little erotic, but don't think that if you praise me, I will believe you. Your Lin family has made seven mistakes in complaining to the aunt, so what is the reason?"
Lin Yanchao was convinced by such a magistrate who had no oil and salt. However, no matter how Zhou Zhixian felt, he would be sure to win the lawsuit.
Lin Yanchao walked towards the aunt and asked, "Since the government has not yet issued a verbal statement, you are still my aunt, but I have a few words to ask you?"
The aunt cursed: "What are you? If you ask me to answer, I will answer?"
Lin Yanchao turned around without hesitation and said, "Go back to my old parents, my aunt will not answer."
"Mife Lin Xie must answer." Zhou Zhixian said.
The aunt gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, the girl knows."
Lin Yanchao looked at the aunt and said, "Auntie, I ask you, you have married into our Lin family. Have you cooked breakfast for a day in the past five or six years?"
The aunt was sleepy and refused to get up early. Lin Qianqian kept making breakfast for the house. The aunt said, "No, I cooked it every time. The complaint said that it was still noon, and I thought the lunch was out of time."
"Auntie, I'll ask you, have you washed your clothes for your grandfather and third uncle in the past five or six years?" The aunt said, "No, I washed the diapers you used to wash when you were a child."
"There are mulberry fields at home, and you can raise silkworms. Have you weaved a little bit for your home?" The old lady sneered: "I didn't raise mulberry silkworms, do you eat the northwest wind?"
"Auntie, three years ago, you had malaria. Who carried you all night and went to the provincial capital to seek medical treatment and medicine? Didn't you say you beat your husband?"
When the aunt heard this, she raised her head and imposed quibbling when she talked about her earlier, but when she said this, she showed guilt. It can be seen that she still has a husband-wife relationship with her uncle. As expected, she is still more intimate than reason, and can touch people's hearts.
Since the aunt does not deny it, the following things will be much easier.
Lin Yanchao immediately picked up a lot of things to say about my uncle when he was treating her. This was not difficult. Except for being a little lazy, the Gu family had nothing to say. In the end, the aunt didn't say anything, her eyes were slightly red, and she even left tears. Mr. Xie was anxious.
Speaking of the last sentence, Lin Yanchao immediately said to him: "The old parents are here, and the students have already understood the question. As for how to punish the crime, please tell me."
The people watching on the side also understood the reason for their love at this time and pointed at the aunt. Mr. Xie lowered his head and showed a depressed look.
Zhou Zhixian County wrote a judgment: "The dowry land will be returned to the husband's family to deal with it. The Xie family should no longer have the intention to get involved. In addition, the lawsuit will be told to both parties, and the Xie family will bear the responsibility. A woman will follow her father at home and follow her husband after marriage. The three pillars and five constants are in order. "
"It's over, I can't get anything this time, and I was ridden by the Lin family and peed on my head." Mr. Xie tripped and almost fell to the ground.
"Wow!" The aunt suddenly burst into tears. She ran out of the hall. All the yamen runners had been through battle for a long time. They had never seen any complaints before. They acted like self-harm in desperation. They came forward to stop each other. It was really bad if anything happened in the hall.
Before Zhou Zhixian's verdict was finished, the aunt ran to the hall and kowtowed to Lin Gaozhu. The uncle and the two kowtowed and cried, "Dad, I was wrong, my husband, I was wrong, it was mine in the past."
"I said I wanted to leave, just said that I just miss you, and I can give in to me a little."
"I don't want to leave, I want to go home, I want to prolong my life! I want to prolong my life!"
Lin Yanchao was also stunned. He didn't expect this step. Could it be that his last questioning made the aunt discover his conscience?
The vast majority of people on the side are worthy of being enthusiastic people. They are admonishing the principle of demolishing a temple rather than demolishing a marriage.
The aunt cried bitterly in public. The uncle is worthy of being the most soft-hearted person in the Lin family. After a moment of browsing the ground, he collapsed. He knelt on the ground and picked up the aunt. The couple cried loudly: "Woman, we will never leave, we will never leave, we will go home together to live together. Yanshou has been crying and shouting for you. County Master, we will never leave, we will never leave!"
The aunt immediately cried bitterly, "Mr. I will listen to you from now on, listen to you!"
