The county magistrate Zhai was about to speak when Xia Xia shouted excitedly: "You are lying, Xinniang is not getting married, but recruiting, all the family property of Yandi belongs to Xinniang and Zhou Yin, and you are the ones who took advantage of Xinniang to go out. seized their property."
The county magistrate Zhai took a look at Zhou Man, and simply leaned back on the chair to drink tea, and let them argue.
Sure enough, Xia Yi blushed, and immediately retorted: "Uncle Xia, don't talk nonsense, they are the husband and wife who can't get back together, who knows if Zhou Yin was a liar and ran away with Xinniang? Uncle Yan’s family property was divided because there was no other way in the village, can’t those houses and land be left empty? And don’t forget, you also took their shop.”
Xia Xia sneered and said, "That shop still belongs to Xinniang, and I've saved all the rent for her for so many years, unlike you...cough cough..."
Zhai County Magistrate then asked: "The head of the household needs to be present when the production is divided. Who was the guarantor at the Yamen back then?"
If the head of the household is not present like this, it must be notarized by the Yamen, otherwise if you want to divide the property, you can divide the property, and even the relatives will be confused.
Although there are actually many such things in reality, the necessary procedures still have to be done. If they can do it, the Yamen must have opened up the joints.
Xia Xia's eyes fixed on Xu Lichang, and said: "Back then, Xu Lichang was the guarantor, and Xu Wenshu from the county government was invited to record it."
Zhai County Magistrate took a look at Xu Lichang, nodded slightly, and ordered: "Call Xu Wenshu."
Xu Lichang sighed in his heart, now he has seen the situation clearly, the three people who came are probably of high status, and it is impossible for the county magistrate Zhai to stand on their side, at most to prevent this scandal from spreading. There was a lot of trouble in the city, and everyone settled it in private.
County Magistrate Zhai really meant this, and while acting upright, he asked Zhou Man, "Master Zhou, do you think it is necessary to send someone to Hongtian Village to ask someone to come to the county government to mediate?"
Man Bao thought about it carefully. She still doesn't know the power of the Xia family in Shangzhou, but no matter how weak she is, she must be bigger than her.
The tombs of her grandparents, as well as her great-grandparents are all here, and it is obviously impossible to remove them when the fallen leaves return to their roots.
Even for the sake of the future, she can't do anything about it.
So after weighing Man Bao, he decided to stay the same. If they backed down rationally, why not be gentle
So she raised a smiling face and nodded to Magistrate Zhai, "It's my honor that Magistrate Zhai is willing to mediate."
The master on the side interjected at the right time: "We adults are parents' officials, and this is what we should do. Sir Zhou, please be polite."
Man Bao still didn't understand the meaning, Bai Shan had already nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, your lord is our parent officer, if Zhou Man doesn't mention it, it's me, and I will be half a Shangzhou native after that."
The county magistrate Zhai burst into laughter, and said again and again: "Isn't that right, Mr. Bai is the son-in-law of our Shangzhou."
Man Bao: ...
With this connection, County Magistrate Zhai was refreshed and sent people to go to Hongtian Village immediately, "However, Hongtian Village is a bit far from Shangzhou City. They have gone now, and I am afraid they will be able to return to the city tomorrow."
Man Bao smiled and nodded, "It doesn't matter, we will come back tomorrow."
The county magistrate Zhai hoped to give the Xia family in Hongtian village more time to prepare, and Manbao was also willing to give them time and a way to understand the situation. Whether it is reasonable or forced by the situation, it is best to ease the situation.
Otherwise, like Xu Lichang, Man Bao is not embarrassed to bump into him like Xu Lichang, but feels that tearing up his face is not good for the graves of his grandparents who are still here.
She grew up listening to all kinds of stories and disputes in the village, and she knows that digging your ancestral grave is also possible when people get angry.
Xia Xia wanted to talk all the time, but he was not in good health, so Mr. Du also stretched out his hand to hold him down, and shook his head at him.
Seeing that Zhou Man was willing to reconcile, the county magistrate Zhai was very happy, and felt that Zhou Man was indeed a smart person, so that everyone would not be embarrassed.
After setting the tone, County Magistrate Zhai glanced at Xia Xia and Zhou Man, stood up and said with a smile, "Your Majesty Zhou might as well rest in the hall for a while. The next official is discussing something with Du Lao Zhu."
Man Bao smiled and nodded, asking Magistrate Zhai to help himself.
Chief Xu knew that the county magistrate Zhai was releasing water, so he gave Xia Yi who was still in a daze, and motioned him to follow.
Xia Yi hurriedly followed him out. He didn't know the previous situation, and he was still confused at the moment, "Li Zhang, who was that person just now? Why did your lord suddenly ask about my house?"
Xu Lichang said: "Haven't you noticed? Xia Xin and Zhou Yin's daughters are back, the one who was sitting with the magistrate Zhai just now, she has become an official, and now she is coming back to ask you for a house. "
"How can I do that?" Xia Yi jumped, "That house is mine."
Xu Li gave him a sideways look, but when he thought of his character and his brains, he suppressed his temper again and said calmly: "My lord is going to send someone to Hongtian Village, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you Xia family to find out. Insider information, if this is the case, you also rush back to Hongtian Village and tell your patriarchs and elders that Xinniang's daughter has returned and has made great achievements outside, and is now an official in the capital, and she is also a famous miracle doctor."
He tried his best to recall the flattering words that County Magistrate Zhai said to Zhou Man just now, and said: "It seems that I still know the nobles in Beijing. Anyway, they are very powerful. Even the people she is betrothed to now are also very powerful. It seems to be a nobleman."
Xia Yi nodded repeatedly, wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Let the patriarch and the others find a way quickly?"
Xu Lichang looked long and said: "Yes, let them find a way."
Xia Yi asked anxiously: "The head of the village, she won't really want to take my house away?"
Xu Lichang said perfunctorily: "What are you afraid of, and your patriarch."
"That's right. The patriarch took two pieces of land from Uncle Yan. He must not give it to the young lady. By the way, what's the name of Xinniang's daughter? Why did I hear the magistrate Zhai call her Master Zhou?"
Xu Lichang: "...What do you call her? You can see how she looks. She is the daughter of Zhou Yin and Xia Xin."
"Then how can it be done, Zhou Yin is married, how can she be named after Zhou Yin?"
Xu Lichang was furious, seeing that he was still struggling with this kind of thing, he said: "Her surname is Xia, can you return the house to her?"
"No! That house has long been mine." Xia Yi remembered something, and bowed his head in thought.
Xu Lichang waved his hand and said: "Go back quickly and tell your family all these things. Also, Xia Xia is also here. He has already stated that the shop still belongs to Xia Xin, and he has been paying the rent to Xia Xin all the time. Glad to accept it."
Xu Lichang emphasized this matter emphatically. Seeing Xia Yi leave in a hurry, he heaved a sigh of relief, frowned and did not speak.
He had calculated thousands of times, but Zhou Man was still an official, so he could find magistrate Zhai so quickly to stand up for her.
I should have known...
But money is hard to buy, I knew it earlier.
