Chapter 112 Litigator

Seeing Li Xiaoyao coming in, the two hurriedly stood up. Shuilian came over a few steps, helped Li Xiaoyao go to the hat in person, and said with a smile, "The fifth master came just in time. Several adults of the Sansi government have just arrived and are drinking tea in the back hall." Li Xiaoyao thanked Shuilian with a smile and turned his head to look at Shuiyan. Shuiyan didn't wait for her to ask and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everything is right." Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the dark mantle, raised the mantle with his fingers and looked out.

The government gate of this prefecture and county, directly behind, is a high platform with half people. The judge sat on this platform and looked down at all sentient beings. It was really high. There were heavy and majestic hanging behind and both sides of the platform. Now Li Xiaoyao and Shuiyan and others are listening to the trial behind the left wall of the platform. From here, it can be seen that Go, the situation in the lobby is clear, but you can't see the officials of the three divisions on the stage.

"People from the three divisions?" Li Xiaoyao put down the wall, turned his head and looked at Shuiyan and asked half a sentence. Shuiyan nodded and replied in a low voice, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice is the second master. On the other side of Dali Temple, Zhou Haiqi, the secretary of Dali Temple, actually came in person. Although Zhou Haiqi and the Guo family are some relatives, he is a righteous person. Yan Shenyuan came from the imperial history platform." Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly. This Yan Shenyuan Qingzhou native, born in poverty, is famous for his integrity and strength. He has a high reputation and is a Hairui-style figure. Why did he come here? Who let him come? Li Xiaoyao exhaled gently. Forget it, I can't take care of this at this moment. This is really dancing on the tip of the knife. He danced well, so he rushed to the three words Yan Shenyuan. Shizi's anger can be calm and clean. As for Zhou Haiqi••••• Gangzheng, this scene is a conspiracy, and he is not afraid of righteousness.

There was a sound of footsteps behind the wall, and several people were busy and dared not say more. The front hall was full of powerful voices. Li Xiaoyao picked up the wall and looked outside. Shuiyan picked up the other side of the wall and looked solemnly at the majestic three vass in the lobby. This lawsuit was full of yangmou, only looking at the hearts of the people.

Shuitong followed the two prison women and knelt down on the right side of the lobby. Shen's thin and pitifully knelt on the left side of the lobby, and his shoulders shrugged from time to time, as if he were sobbing.

There was a sharp shocking sound on the high platform, and an official language with a strong local accent sounded. He read a long speech and asked Shuitong majestically, "Chen Shuishi, is everything I read true?" Shuitong knelt on the ground and didn't move and didn't say anything. The thick- accented official stopped for a long time. He was probably listening to someone's whisper. 'Oh' and ordered, "If you have entrusted the litigator, just call in."

Shen hurriedly raised her head, half turned around and looked nervously at the door of the government. Su Wanfang, the guest under the door of Shuiyan and Zhenninghou Shuiqing, was dressed in a green cloth robe, holding a bamboo paper folding fan in his hand, and entered the lobby with a smile and a humble expression. First, he bowed to the table chief: "Student Su Wanfang has met all the adults."

"Since you are a famous person, how do you start this lawsuit?" The official with a strong accent asked with an obvious displeasure. Su Wanfang arched his hand and sincerely replied, "This is the adult's care for students. In reply, this is the first time for the student to be a litigant, and he is only looking forward to it for the last time. It is this case that makes students feel like a stone in their hearts and depressed in their chests, and they really can't turn a blind eye to it."

"In that case, have you read this complaint? Can what the complaint paper said be true?

"Your Excellency, it is true that Chen Shui's vase killed her husband Chen Zhongliang." Su Wanfang answered very simply. This answer was unexpected by almost everyone. The lobby was silent for a moment. As soon as he recognized, what else was the case being tried, and it could be decided!

"Your Excellency, students have something to ask Chen Shen and his servants, and ask for your approval." Su Wanfang asked respectfully and kindly.

"Excreme!"

Su Wanfang got permission and took two steps to the left, seven or eight steps away from the Shen family. He bowed first and said politely, "Sister Chen, please be sorry. There is some advice from Su Wanfang. If there is anything wrong, I will accompany you first." Shen looked at Su Wanfang with vigilance and astonishment, biting his lips and did not answer. This Su was too polite. How could she be a concubine?

"Where does Mrs. Chen live now?"

"East Gate Five-Finger Hutong." Shen was even more vigilant and refused to say more. Su Wanfang politely asked, "Who is in the house?"

Shen stared at Su Wanfang, bit his lips and was silent for a moment before whispering, "Now there is only a concubine and son."

"What about the past?" Su Wanfang asked, and Shen suddenly looked up at the chief judge on the high platform. Seeing that the three people were looking at her, they had no intention of speaking, so they had to lower their eyes and whispered, "When I was alive, there was still master."

"That is to say, when Lord Chen was there, in the house of the Five-Finger Hutong at the East Gate, there were only Lord Chen, you and your son, but is that so?"

"Yes!"

"Is the Dongmen Five-Finger Hutong the ancestral home of Chen?"

"No!" Shen categorically denied: "It's the house that my concubine bought after she entered Beijing!"

"Huh?!" Su Wanfang expressed his shock from words to his expression: "Lord Chen was sent to the temple to eat porridge. After the middle, he married the daughter of the Shui family. I heard that a degree of application was supported by the Shui's dowry. Lord Chen took office in Texas. He has been outstanding for years and his official voice is clear. Although the salary of this dynasty is not small, it is not much, but three or four years. , Lord Chen, where did you get the money to buy a house in the area of Wuzhi Hutong at the East Gate?

Shen suddenly understood Su Wanfang's intention, his face turned pale, stared at Su Wanfang fiercely, and replied coldly, "It's all my dowry!" One degree of application, it's all my dowry!"

Su Wanfang turned around and arched his hand on the stage and said, "Your Excellency, the student wants to adjust Chen Shen's dowry list. The five-finger alley house is connected to the garden, which is of great value. Please allow it." There was a buzz on the stage. For a moment, a gentle and standard Kaiping official replied, "Yes, someone will mention Shen's dowry list." A librer standing under the stage answered, stepped back a few steps, and took two government officials out of the lobby. Shen's face was sneered and calm. Now that she is an orphan and widow, this money is the most important thing. On the day the master choked, she wrote all the wealth in the house into her dowry list. Now it's too late to remember, it's too late!

Su Wanfang watched the librical and the government official go out of the door, turned his head and looked at Shen Shi, and then asked kindly, "How old is Ling Lang this year?"

"Three years old."

"Your Excellency," Su Wanfang turned around and arched his hand on the platform and said, "Shen Shizi is outside now. The student wants to invite Shen Shizi in. Please have a look." After a moment of silence, Shen looked at Su Wanfang blankly. What on earth is he going to do? Can't you take the money and take the son again?

"Br bring it in." On the stage, the government official led a 30-year-old servant woman in and knelt beside Shen in fear. Su Wanfang squatted down beside Shen Shizi, touched a piece of crisp candy from his arms and handed it over. He smiled amiablely and said to Shen Shizi, "You are really a good boy. What's your name?" Shen Shizi reached out and grabbed the crisp candy in Su Wanfang's hand, raised it to his mouth and licked it twice, and replied vaguely, "Yu!"

"Ayu, who is this?" Su Wanfang pointed to Shen and asked,

"Mother!" A Yu said and was about to pounce on Shen's arms. The wet nurse quickly hugged him tightly. Su Wanfang motioned the wet nurse to turn around and asked Ah Yu to look at Shui Tong and ask, "A Yu is so awesome. Tell me again, who is that?"

A Yu looked at Su Wanfang's hand, shook her head heavily, and replied clearly, "I don't know!" Su Wanfang stood up and looked at the wet nurse and asked, "Who are you holding?"

The wet nurse was nervous and heard it inexplicably. She hurriedly replied, "My young master."

"Who is she?" Su Wanfang pointed to Shen and asked, and the wet nurse was even more confused: "My grandma." Su Wanfang stood up and arched his hand on the stage: "Your excellency, Shen's students have said hello. Outside, there are also several servants and old servants of the five-finger alley house of the Chen family. The students also want to invite them to inquire."

The chief judge agreed. The yamen took the wet nurse and A Yu down and led a middle-aged servant, two women and a girl in. Su Wanfang first went to the middle-aged servant standing on the far right and asked, "What's your name?" When did you enter Chen's house? What are you doing now?"

"Your Excellency, the little one's name is Zhang Youxi. He sold himself to our master's house three years ago, and now he is a messenger in the porter, and he also does some shopping."

"What kind of people are there in the Chen family?"

"Your excellency, our master's family is simple, that is, the master, and now the master is gone, as well as our grandmother and our young master." Zhang Youxi replied clumsily. Su Wanfang stepped back half a step and asked with a smile, "Which one is your grandmother? Point to it." Zhang Youxi's face was inexplicable, but his fingers simply pointed to Shen.

"What about that man? Have you seen it? Her surname is Shui. You must have heard of it. Su Wanfang pointed to Shuitong and asked. Zhang Youxi swallowed his saliva and lowered his head and replied, "Your Excellency, I have never seen it before. I heard of it. I didn't hear it until the day the master died."

What did you say? Say what you hear as it is.

"It is said that the master was beaten to death by his former grandmother. In this sentence, the little man, he never dared to listen to the message. The master died. I only heard such a big thing." Zhang Youxi then explained a few more words.

"The former grandma!" Su Wanfang reached out and patted Zhang Youxi on the shoulder and said with emotion. He turned his head to look at the woman standing next to Zhang Youxi and asked, "What's your last name? Where did you work?"

"Lord, the little woman's surname is Gu, and she is a comb woman who often goes to Chen's mansion."

"What are the people in Chen's house?"

"What the little woman knows is Master Chen, Shen/grandmother, and a young master. On the day of Master Chen's death, the little woman heard that Master Chen was killed by the grandmother in the main room, which shocked the little woman. The little woman went to and from Chen Mansion for a year, and respected Shen Da/Grandma from top to bottom. The little woman However, I am also respected as a big house/grandmother. I have never heard of a grandmother, and I haven't heard anyone mention a word! Really! The little woman can't help but find out which one is the grandmother of the main room. Maybe it's two big? Anyway, the little woman was killed, and the little woman didn't believe that Shen Da/grandmother was a concubine. What was that concubine? Can it be so noble to buy it? Isn't that the opposite?" The woman talked more and more, and Su Wanfang hurriedly stopped her with a smile: "M Mother Gu said it clearly. Thank you, M mother Gu." With that, he turned his head and looked at the old woman in her 40s standing beside Mrs. Gu and asked, "What's your last name? What are you doing?"

"Your Excellency, my maidservant's surname is Cui, and I'm grandma's companion."

"How did your grandmother enter Chen's house?"

"My lord, our grandmother is also from a scholarly official eunuch family, and the dowry is rich. How can she be a concubine? Naturally, it was three media and six hired, and entered the door in a sedan chair, but our master said that the eunuch was shy and unable to do it. Although the grandmother had a rich dowry, she did not love the false name. Since the master said so, those fictitious things that could be saved naturally saved. On the day of marriage, he invited several frequent people in Texas to drink. Water and wine." Mrs. Cui said angrily. Shen squeezed her mouth tightly and stared at Mrs. Cui, trembling all over. What are they going to do? How could Mother Cui say such a thing? Her family was extremely poor. Her father took advantage of the dark and sent her into the master's house. When did she have three media and six hires? She is her wet nurse, and she won't hurt her! What is she going to do?!

Withaning Su Wanfang's words, Mrs. Cui continued angrily, "The master never said that there was any other grandma! He told our grandmother that he had been married, but the Shui family was arrogant and jealous, with a noble background. There was no him in his eyes, nor the ancestors of the Chen family. He committed the article of unfiliality and jealousy. He had already retired the Shui family. Who knew that he had another grandma in the main room today! What is our grandma? What is this? The person who was retired still has the face to be the daughter-in-law of the Chen family?!"

Su Wanfang sighed and turned back to the stage and bowed to the end: "Your Excellency, this is the reason why the student's chest is blocked by stones and is depressed and angry! I really can't spit it out! Chen Zhongliang was first noble of the Mushui family. He wanted to climb this big tree with deep leaves, married the daughter of the Shui family, and then fell infatuated with the Shen family, and tried to cheat him into marrying the Shen family and wealth. Chen Zhongliang fell in love with the gentleness of the Shen family, and was exclusively favored by the pepper house. He treated him as his wife. He abandoned the Shui family and abandoned his parents and children, but handed him to the Shilin in the name of the son-in-law of the Shui family. It is really shameless! Poor Shen's daughter lives in an inner house. How can she know what this shameless person is doing outside? Now that he has no wife and no concubine, it is difficult to know his son's direct concubine. The poor Shui's daughter has been retired but has no rest. The weak son is as bitter as Huang Lian, but he bears the name of jealousy and unfilial piety. That shameless is especially rich and rich. The name is outside. My lord, we are bound to be taught, read the book of sages, and cultivate our family, but we are ruthless, shameless and shameless. How can you bear the benevolent and unjust people wandering in the forest and harming such poor and weak women? Students think about it and can't sleep all night. They can't say anything and have to file a lawsuit! Please be clear!"
