In the next morning, Bai Shan asked the Guo and Wu families and neighbors to expose their faults to each other, but he also managed to keep the scene from being too ugly.
In fact, the biggest enmity between the two families was also this time of pushing and shoving, but freezing three feet did not happen overnight, and the two families had accumulated a lot of enmity in the previous generation, and counting them all was trivial matters.
But trivial matters are also the most detrimental to goodwill, the hearts of the two families are not small, and even now they refuse to admit defeat to each other.
However, Bai Shan did not make a verdict directly after they finished their statement, but said to everyone: "The dispute between words and rumors, the people in your alley can't get rid of the responsibility. If the Guo family is the first to commit the crime, you and others will be the ones to blame." from sin."
When everyone heard this, they were a little unconvinced. What does this have to do with them? It was the Guo family who said that the rich family was pregnant with a girl. How could they know that it would be a boy, and the rich family is also cruel enough, even if it is a girl, there is no need Going to provoke the Guo family, but the Guo family is also ruthless. The rich lady is pregnant, so she may not pay attention to her temper, but she has no scruples at all, and she will use all her strength to push people.
The pots of blood and the blood-stained quilt the day before yesterday still gave them too much shock. The Wu family has already lost a child, and it seems that it is not certain whether the rich family will survive, but these What has it to do with them
They didn't do anything.
Naturally, Bai Shan could also see the disapproval on their faces, he sighed and got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Wu's house, the one who suffers the most from this matter is at Wu's house, we have to listen to her opinion on how to deal with it." .”
Guo Lichang, who was called to listen to the hall, immediately said: "How dare you bother my lord to move? My lord sends someone to call her."
Bai Shandao: "Ms. Ma had a massive haemorrhage the day before yesterday, and half of her life was gone. Now she is not out of danger. Letting her go to court at this time is tantamount to murder. The county has all the hands and feet, so what can I do if I move?"
Guo Li said: "How can you make adults condescend, it's against the rules."
Bai Shan turned his head to look at him, and asked, "I've never heard of such a rule in this county. From which law did Li Chang Guo regard this rule?"
Guo Lichang fell silent for a moment.
Compared with the courtiers who can quote scriptures and disturb three points without reason, Guo Lichang, who can't even memorize the "Da Jin Law", is really easy to deal with, because many of his reasons are "I think", "What the world thinks" is just a "someone thinks" when you go deep into it, and there is no source.
So it's easy to deal with.
Block Guo Lichang, the people in the county government knew about it yesterday, and they have made preparations, so naturally they will not cause trouble at this time.
So everyone moved to the Wu family smoothly.
The neighbors immediately ran back to watch. This time, not only the hostess and hostess of every household in the alley were listening, but everyone in the alley, including children, big and small, crowded over to watch the excitement.
Even the neighbors in the nearby streets were alarmed.
The alley is not big, and there are too many people. Not only the yard of Wu's house is full of people, but also the neighbors' homes on the left and right are also full of people. Everyone climbed up the courtyard wall. , They still want to climb that tree in the Wu family.
Man Bao stood in the crowd to watch the fun, Daji and the guards were afraid that she would be squeezed, so they surrounded her together, Bai Shancai sat down on a chair in the middle of the yard, and saw her when he looked up.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help smiling.
Bai Shan looked around and saw that everyone who was supposed to be there had also arrived, so he patted the gavel to make everyone quiet.
The yamen guard brought Wu Dafu and the three of them up, and the rich lady listened to the hall in the morning. Although Bai Shan didn't say anything, she gradually realized that the situation was not good for them, because he once again pointed out big flowers and splashed water on the opposite side in the hall. As far as what happened the day before yesterday, it was she who provoked the dispute, so she should also bear certain responsibilities.
The rich lady glanced into the house, hoping that the county magistrate would be more partial to them when he saw the tragic situation of his daughter-in-law.
The Guo family is more disturbed than the Wu family, and the trial here is not good for them.
Bai Shan looked at the three people kneeling at the bottom, and asked again: "The case has been tried from yesterday to today, this county will ask you again, do you know where I went wrong?"
Wu Dafu didn't feel that he was at fault. He killed his son and his wife became like that. If he didn't get ahead, would he still be a man
So stubbornly do not speak.
It was Mrs. Diao who shouted first: "I know, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't push the rich lady, no matter what, she is pregnant, at worst, she will splash water on my door in the future, I just pretend I can't see it."
Bai Shandao: "You can say such a thing, obviously you don't understand it, and you are not convinced."
He raised his voice and said: "The grievances and grievances between your two families have a long history. What happened yesterday can be discussed separately, but it cannot be discussed separately. Going forward, if you didn't spread rumors that Mrs. Ma could not have a son, it would even be a curse." , what happened the day before yesterday will also not happen.”
Diao's face froze, and in the two sessions, Bai Shan only asked questions and basically could not reach a conclusion. She did not expect him to directly make such a harsh conclusion in front of so many people.
Bai Shan looked at Guo Dacai and asked, "What about you?"
Guo Dacai still gritted his teeth and insisted that he knew nothing and was very innocent. He said: "Mr. Ma's splashing of water happened suddenly, and Mrs. Diao's fight with her also happened suddenly. They were not premeditated. I was not at home at the time. I don't know anything."
Bai Shan shook his head slightly, Li Zheng on the side watched impatiently, scolding idiots in his heart, he forgot to give a few instructions yesterday, they are so ignorant.
Stupid or not, in court, if you are right, you have to admit three points of your mistakes first, and get the county magistrate's favor first, let alone they are not the right side.
Bai Shan then said to the Guo family couple: "Spreading rumors to create troubles and quarreling with each other, have you never known about such things?"
He said: "A husband has the responsibility to teach his wife. What's more, you are the head of the family. When you get along with neighbors, you have the same responsibility. You can't be exempted from responsibility just because you are a man. Have you ever taught your wife not to gossip?"
After Bai Shan finished speaking, he looked at Father Guo who was standing in the crowd, and said sternly: "And the root of this started from your previous generation. Deny, but for spreading rumors, your Guo family is the first to commit the crime, Guo Lai, as the head of the household, you also have an unshirkable responsibility."
Father Guo in the crowd didn't expect Bai Shan to call him by name. Seeing everyone looking over, he suddenly felt ashamed.
Bai Shandao: "According to the law, those who hurt others can be sentenced to three years in prison if there are serious consequences. Mrs. Diao, you are the cause of this incident by telling stories and spreading rumors about your neighbors. You can be sentenced to five years in prison for the crime of soliciting tongues."
