After the quarrel with the rich lady, the Guo family was very uneasy, and they couldn't help but doubt, "The Wu family won't really go through the way of the county magistrate to deal with our family?"
Father Guo was silent for a long time, and finally he said to his second son: "You can bring some food to your eldest brother and sister-in-law later, tell them about the family affairs, and inquire about the affairs inside."
Guo Erlang said: "What else do we need to inquire about? Didn't we all listen to the hearing today? The county magistrate didn't make a judgment, but he had to dig up some shit that went wrong in the past. How can we tell right from wrong?"
"Stop talking nonsense, just let you go. We only know the things outside, but not the things in the prison, and your elder brother also needs to know the things at home. If it's true, you should explain it. It's Diao's push, saying After all, it has nothing to do with our Guo family."
Mother Guo was also worried, and asked, "Do you want to find Uncle Wu again?"
"The wine and meat sent today have all been returned." Father Guo said not very happy: "Uncle Wu said that these are the three fires for the new official to take office. What can he do?"
He said: "The clan has said that it's okay for our family to have an accident, but if the fifth uncle is implicated and can't be Li Zheng, our family will not have to stay in the clan."
Mother Guo stopped talking immediately.
The matter was just skipped.
Guo Erlang could only bring food to see Guo Dalang and his wife in the prison.
Guo Dacai panicked when he heard that, "The Wu family really said that, no, the lady who is in court today is the county magistrate's wife?"
"That's what the Wu family said."
Diao said expectantly, "Maybe they lied to us?"
"Before I came, I asked Uncle Wu about it. Uncle Wu said that it was indeed the wife of the county magistrate. He also said that the wife of the county magistrate is also an official. I mean, she is older than the county magistrate."
Guo Dacai and Diao were dumbfounded, and then said in disbelief: "It's fake, how can a woman be an official?"
How did he know
Guo Ercai stuffed the food into them, glanced at his sister-in-law and said to Guo Dacai: "Brother, daddy said, if the Wu family really got through the way of the county magistrate, then you can say whatever you have. The men in the family didn't know about it, and when we came back, he had already fallen, so it has nothing to do with you."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Diao yelled in a shrill voice, "Second brother, what do you mean? You want to blame me for everything?"
Guo Ercai ignored her, and said directly to Guo Dacai, "Brother, you should think about it yourself."
Diao was anxious to drag Guo Ercai, "Speak clearly."
Guo Dacai dragged her back angrily and threw her to the ground, angrily said: "Shut up, if it weren't for you, would I have the disaster I have today? I'll divorce you again!"
Diao's face turned pale.
What happened in the prison is not a secret, not to mention that the Guo family will not avoid people, so as soon as they left, the prison guards who had been instructed by Bai Shan in advance discussed with each other, and they still wanted to please the county magistrate, so they sent a prison guard Go to the magistrate.
At this time, it was already time to go to the yamen. Although Bai Shan was still working overtime, he didn't work in the front of the county yamen, but ran back to the backyard with his things to work overtime.
So the prison guard found the family.
Bai Shan met someone in the study, and after hearing what he said, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very well, thanks for your hard work, this county knows about it, next time someone from the Guo family or Wu family will come, or what happens in the prison , you can all come to this county.”
The prison guard was happy when he heard that, knowing that they had done the right thing, he bowed and retreated happily.
Bai Shan waited for him to leave, then went to look for Zhou Man with a smile, "You have been treated as a tiger to stand up today."
Man Bao reacted after hearing this, and asked uncertainly: "Is the Wu family pretending to be a tiger?"
Bai Shan smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Man Bao was speechless, "Do you want me to clarify?"
"No need," Bai Shan said with a smile: "The Guo family also has a backer. The Wu family was weak at first, and their mediation is not easy to adjust. Now the Wu family is using your power to make the Guo family fearful no matter whether it is true or not. Tomorrow's The verdict is better."
Man Bao asked: "How do you want to judge?"
Bai Shandao: "That depends on the attitude of the Wu family and the attitude of the Guo family."
He said: "If there is still a possibility of mediation between the two families, then try to maximize their interests so that they can get along more harmoniously in the future, and let the people in that alley know that they are friendly neighbors; if there is no possibility of mediation, then Judgment according to the law."
According to the law, Wu Dafu may have to play 20 boards, and he can go home after one month of service; Diao's may be sentenced to one to three years in prison, and the Guo family must also pay compensation to the Wu family. As for Guo Dalang, he did not teach himself well. His wife will also be beaten 20 times.
Don't look at it as if the Guo family is at a disadvantage, but in terms of impact, it is the Wu family who is bigger.
Because now is the busy time for farming, the fields need to be sown, and soon there will be transplanting and harvesting.
Wu Dafu served in the army for a month, and basically missed this year's spring planting. After he came out, the heavy hard labor would also overwhelm his body, and it would be difficult for him to help his family in the next summer harvest, so the Wu family counted the harvest this year. there is none left.
Of course, the Guo family also has a great influence. Diao's imprisonment will affect her children's marriage and work in the future.
Sentencing according to the law is basically a lose-lose situation, and if it is done according to the law, the neighbors in that alley will get along with each other more hostile.
It was also because of these considerations that he worked so hard to deal with this matter, otherwise he could have been sentenced directly if he was arrested yesterday.
After all, the facts are clear, and everyone's responsibilities are clear.
But Zhou Man wanted to save Dahua, and Bai Shan also wanted to give the Wu family and Guo family a way out, and also clear up the atmosphere in that alley, so it took so much trouble.
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ask Da Hua what she means, she is the biggest victim."
Bai Shan nodded, "So I decided to try this case for one day, in the morning in court, in the afternoon in the alley, and then the court will be held at Wu's house."
Upon hearing this, Man Bao immediately said, "I'll go with you."
Bai Shan asked: "Aren't you going to see the house?"
"Look at it tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, I will accompany you to open a lecture in the alley. I also want to learn about the people's livelihood in Beihai County, so that I can arrange the work of the medical department in the future."
Bai Shan couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "Okay."
Bai Shan arranged it very well, but the people in the county government only felt that the new county magistrate was too much trouble, and even the overly tactful Chief Registrar Song couldn't hold back and said, "Isn't this just a small case? The facts are clear, what should be done?" Those who are arrested, those who should be sentenced, those who should be beaten, won’t this matter be over? Such a trivial matter will be tried for two days, what about the future cases?”
The county magistrate only went to deal with the case, so how could he have time to do other things
Although Fang Xiancheng didn't know why Bai Shan did this, but he talked with their husband and wife yesterday, both Bai Shan and Zhou Man hoped to put the people first in the process of handling government affairs.
There was no need for the two of them to lie to him about this matter, so Fang Xiancheng felt that the county magistrate had his own reasons for doing so.
So he turned to County Captain Dong and asked, "Have all the arrangements for tomorrow's trip been made?"
"arranged."
Bai Shan wants to open a church in Wu's house, he is a matter of one word, but Fang Xiancheng and Dong Xianwei have to consider the consequences in case the group becomes angry.
Although the possibility is not very high at present, there are still some preparations to be made.
