"Bring the plaintiff and the defendant to court!" A gentleman-like old man raised his voice.
plaintiff? defendant? But he decided that he didn't go to the wrong place and went to the court? It must be the ghost of the traverser in front again. Yu Xiaocao stared at the goatee under the master's chin, and was dumbfounded. The old man glanced at the little girl who was kneeling in front of the hall, thinking that she was petrified.
Not long after, Dean Yuan and Director Liang Shan of Rongxuan Academy strolled in leisurely. When County Magistrate Wu saw the two, he stood up from the case and greeted them respectfully. Dean Yuan and Liang Shanchang exchanged polite greetings.
Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Xiaocao turned to look at Dean Yuan and winked at him. Dean Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and smiled at her slightly, his eyes full of reassurance seemed to say, "It's okay, don't be afraid!" But looking at the girl Xiaocao, her eyes rolled around, she didn't look like she was afraid.
Immediately afterwards, a dog-like young man wearing a Wensheng robe and a scholar's scarf on his head was pushed in by two yamen servants twisting their arms.
"Mighty—" The yamen servants on both sides slammed the wooden sticks in their hands to the ground, and made a neat and resonant voice. Mrs. Zhang and Yu Bo had never seen such a posture before, their faces turned pale with fright, and they curled up on the ground trembling.
"Girl, don't be afraid, godfather is here!" There was a bell-like shout from the crowd watching outside the county government office. Yu Xiaocao turned her eyes away from the yamen servants, and saw her godfather pushing aside the crowd and walking in with arrogance.
County Magistrate Wu was dumbfounded as he watched the Imperial Envoy walk into the courtroom with vigor and power, picked up the witness (Yu Xiaocao) like a chicken, and snatched the seat of the master, and sat down with a golden knife. down.
"Ahem! Imperial Envoy, the officer is currently trying the case, don't you..." County Magistrate Wu implicitly reminded: Imperial Envoy, the case is currently under investigation, please don't add to the chaos!
Fang Fang touched the beard on his cheeks that had not been shaved for three days, and said confidently: "You handle your case, I don't intervene, I just listen to it!"
The teacher beside him, who was over half a century old, had a mournful face and slandered in his heart: My lord imperial envoy, you robbed me of my seat, how should I record it
County magistrate Wu glanced at Xiaocao, who was standing next to him with his little hand held by Fang Fangzhen, and thought, "You've already slipped away your witness card, why don't you intervene?" It is said that the imperial envoy has a new goddaughter, and it still hurts to the bone. The rumors are indeed true!
Faced with Fang Fangzhen's almost rogue behavior, County Magistrate Wu couldn't easily reason with him on the line. Facing the imperial envoy who was born as a military general, he is a scholar, and it is reasonable for him to meet a soldier! In desperation, County Magistrate Wu asked the yamen servant to re-move a grand master's chair for the imperial envoy, and put it not far in front of the case. As for Yu Xiaocao, it's just a personal ID, so just stand there.
As a result, apart from the well-known Dean Yuan and Liang Shanzhang who can stand in front of the hall, there is now another Yu Xiaocao.
The trial process was not as exciting as Xiaocao imagined. The liar was a bit bold, and at first he wanted to quibble, but when he was glared at by the yamen servant and hit with a stick, he confessed honestly.
This is not the first time the scammer has been cheating. He took advantage of the eagerness for success of those who failed the county examination, and revealed to those students from decent families who had no status that he had a way to enter Rongxuan Academy. There was only one place, but he paid some management fees.
Yu Bo was one of the people he was targeting. Why did Yu Bo, who was born in a fishing village, become his target? The answer is very simple, who told Zhang to spend a lot of money to arm his son from head to toe before the exam, for fear of being looked down upon by others, he gave hundreds of taels of silver as money. In order to pretend to be a local tyrant in front of his classmates, Yu Bo bought a few meals at good restaurants, and stayed in a good inn... This liar naturally took him as a rich man, and it would be strange if he didn't kill him!
After hearing the liar's "confession", both Mrs. Zhang and Yu Bo bowed their heads regretfully. One feels that he loves his son so much that he brings trouble to his son. One deeply feels that he has over-pretended and caused unnecessary trouble. The two giants of Rongxuan Academy looked at this pair of idiot mother and son, and shook their heads: With this kind of character, do you still want to enter Rongxuan Academy? Dream it!
During the entire trial process, there was almost nothing wrong with it. After answering a few simple questions, they stood aside and watched the play. In less than an hour, the "Legend of Ancient Cases" was performed. The bad guys were beaten and sentenced, and both Zhang's mother and son were educated.
Only in the recovery of stolen money, there has been a small wave. Mrs. Zhang insisted that the liar lied to them for three hundred taels, and the liar swore to God that he only took two hundred taels. The two argued endlessly in court. County Magistrate Wu could see with blazing eyes that Yu Bo's expression was wrong, and after a short interrogation, Yu Bo obediently confessed that he had kept a hundred taels of information under wraps.
Dean Yuan looked at the shame-faced student in front of him with indifferent eyes. He met this student a few times because of Yu Jie, and at that time he only thought that the student was too utilitarian, but he didn't expect this person to be so dishonest. It's all right if you go the wrong way and want to enter Rongxuan Academy. The old mother doesn't know how to cherish the money she saved so hard, and even hides the money behind her mother's back. Such unfilial and unrighteous people, even if they succeed in the exams in the future, It's just adding a black sheep! Dean Yuan flicked his sleeves and left the Yamen.
Fang Fangzhen exchanged a few words with the county magistrate, and led his daughter out of the county office. Yu Hai, who was waiting outside the yamen, held his little daughter's hand to ask her how she was, and even stroked her hair so don't be afraid... Mrs. Fang, who was waiting in the carriage, asked Linglong to come and invite someone. When Fang Fangzhen saw the big girl next to his wife, he realized that his daughter-in-law was coming, and he couldn't help showing a silly smile on his face.
Sitting in the godmother's carriage, Yu Xiaocao was taken to the house, stepped over the brazier and took a bath with wormwood to get rid of bad luck. Xiaocao feels that these are not necessary, because she is not the one who caused the lawsuit, she is just a dispensable little witness. However, Mrs. Fang's love for daughters, she is very understanding and moved, and she cooperates with letting the godmother toss.
Xia Furong, who was left hanging in the guest room by her aunt, almost tore the handkerchief in her hand when she heard the little girl's return. It's that little bitch again! For that cheap girl, my aunt abandoned her who was sick! She was just a vulgar farm girl who stole all of her aunt's favor. She is not reconciled!
But what if you are not reconciled? She is nothing but a poor creature who depends on others. Thinking of her own situation, Xia Furong couldn't help but burst into tears. She thought bitterly: If something happened to that bitch, no one would rob her of her aunt, right? Xia Furong's eyes shone with a sinister light, and she bit her lower lip hard!
Yu Xiaocao, who was identified as "frightened", was invited by her godfather and mother to take a doctor's pulse, prescribed a medicine to suppress shock, and was forced to drink a bowl of bitter concoction, and stayed in the house in Fangjia Town. "Observation" for a day.
The house in Fangjia Town is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits. It is said that it was the yard of a former royal merchant in the decline. By chance, it was bought by Fangfang Town, and the plaque of "Fangfu" was hung and moved in directly. . However, he still lives in that humble house in Dongshan Village most of the time. After all, that is the place where the master once lived, and it is close to his daughter...
There is a beautiful large garden in the inner courtyard of Fangfu, with a winding corridor running through it, waterside pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, revealing elegance in wealth and honor. There are five exquisite courtyards scattered in the inner courtyard, the largest one is the main courtyard, where the House Town couple now live. There is a small and unique courtyard next to the main courtyard. The wisterias are blooming beautifully on the courtyard wall. There is only a moon gate between the main courtyard and it is very convenient to come and go.
Xia Furong immediately took a fancy to this courtyard, but was rejected by Mrs. Fang on the grounds that she had already arranged it. When she knew that the yard she liked was given to Yu Xiaocao by her aunt, her jealousy towards Xiaocao deepened.
This girl Xia Furong hasn't recognized her identity yet! She has been arranged to live in the guest courtyard, which means that in Mrs. Fang's mind, she is just a guest from her natal family, and Xiaocao is the lady recognized by the Fang family!
Xiaocao had only seen such a gorgeous and complicated courtyard on TV in her previous life. Now that I am in it, I feel like I have come to the ancient garden attractions. Mrs. Fang saw her lingering in the garden, and her eyesight was not enough. Thinking of this girl's life experience, her eyes showed love and pity. Seeing that Xiaocao was in good spirits, she asked Linglong to take her around various courtyards.
"Ma'am, when did you come here? Why didn't you say hello in advance?" Seeing that the girls and girls had gone out, Fang Fangzhen hugged his daughter-in-law and gnawed hard on her face.
Mrs. Fang glared at him coquettishly, pretended to fight back, spat at him, and said: "It's broad daylight, and I'm nervous again, be careful to let my daughter see it!"
"It's okay, even if my daughter sees it, she will pretend not to see it! My dear wife, why are you here?" Fang Fangzhen gnawed on his daughter-in-law's face again, and the dregs of the beard made Xia's tender face red. up.
Mrs. Fang pushed his face away, took another look at him with her eyes, and said softly: "Didn't I want to surprise you? Who knew that you would be fine. You went to Fucheng and let me take a trip! If I didn't meet you in Guapu After falling in love with our daughter, I can't even touch the door of our house, so I can only live in a hotel."
Fang Fangzhen said distressedly: "Good madam, you have worked hard! Come on, let me squeeze your shoulders!" As he said, he skillfully kneaded Xia's shoulders, and it seemed that this was not the first time he had done this.
Mrs. Fang narrowed her eyes in enjoyment. Before marrying Fang Fangzhen, the sisters in the other house of the Xia family spoke ill of him one after another in her ears. Said that he was a big bastard who looked like Zhang Fei, killed people like hemp on the battlefield, and had a hot temper, and said that he might beat people when he got angry. With his size and kung fu, one punch must have killed half his life, wait!
Fortunately, she wasn't intimidated by those so-called sisters back then. After getting married, Fang Zizhen looks like a rough person, but he has a delicate mind, and he especially loves his wife. Some of the sisters in the family seem to be married well, but there are parents-in-law who want to take care of them, and there are concubines who are obsessed with the house. Fighting with this and that all day long is exhausting!
How happy she is in comparison! A man has no parents, no brothers and sisters, and no bad relatives. He is also a clean-spirited man, he will not accept any concubines given by his colleagues, and he has only guarded her to live alone for twenty years. Although there is no child and a half under her knees, sometimes she feels lonely, but the man loves her as always and dotes on her, he is like a husband, there is nothing else to ask for...
