The Liang family had already moved out of Tanyang County, and they could not stay here for a long time, so Lu Zhenxue wrote a letter requesting an early opening of the class.
Tao Mo was looking forward to it. There is only one case in Zuo Zuo recently, so it only took two days to eliminate it, and then the class rose.
Tao Mogao sat in the courtroom, and two groups of people from the Qiu family and the Liang family stood in the hall. After some openings such as who is standing in the hall, the case entered the topic.
As soon as Lu Zhenxue opened his mouth, he first described the friendship between the Qiu and Liang families in a sensational way. When everyone was intoxicated, he changed the subject and talked about the ungratefulness of the Qiu family and the fact that one daughter married twice. Everyone was excited. Among them, the most excited one was Master Qiu. He wanted to speak a few times, but was suppressed by Lu Zhenxue. In the end, he could only look at Sun Nuo resentfully.
Sun Nuo is an old god, neither surprised nor happy.
After Lu Zhenxue finished his impassioned speech, he walked aside and waited quietly for Tao Mo to speak.
From fierce to quiet, the hall was deserted for a while.
Everyone looked at Tao Mo eagerly.
Seeing Tao Mo not moving for a while, Master Jin couldn't help coughing dryly.
Only then did Tao Mo come back to his senses, and turned to look at Lu Zhenxue, his expression still a little hesitant, "I didn't expect Mr. Lu to have such...excited side."
Lu Zhenxue couldn't figure out what he meant by his words, thinking that he was hurting himself secretly, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly regretted the rashness at the banquet last time again in his heart. But this time and this place are not the time to reflect, he quickly followed up and said: "It's not that I'm excited, but what the Qiu family did to the Liang family is really infuriating!"
Master Qiu was so angry that his beard almost stood on end. It was obvious that the other party's sedan chair had not arrived for a long time, so he married her to another woman. How could it be said that he was treacherous and ruthless
"Brother Lu's words are wrong." Sun Nuo stepped out slowly.
Lu Zhenxue smiled, "Brother Sun, don't you think the word Xinnuo is not worth mentioning?"
Sun Nuo said: "Brother Lu is wrong. My thoughts are exactly the same as Brother Lu's. The word Xin Nuo is the foundation of a person's life."
Lu Zhenxue said: "Brother Sun is going to take money from the Qiu family to fight for the Liang family?"
Sun Nuo said: "Brother Lu is wrong again. I am indeed here this time to fight against injustice, but not for the Liang family, but for the Qiu family." He said, regardless of whether Lu Zhenxue would pick it up again, turned around and bowed to Tao Mo , "My lord, let me ask, is the so-called keeping promises a matter between both parties?"
Tao Mo said, "Naturally, it's a matter between both parties."
"Then I would like to ask Mr. Liang, when the Qiu and Liang families made a marriage contract, they said they would marry within two years. Why is it that the Liang family's sedan chair has not been seen for a long time now that the two-year period is approaching?" Sun Nuo swept away. The former leisurely, sharp eyes.
Lu Zhenxue raised his arm to stop Master Liang who was about to step forward, and said: "The two-year period is approaching, but it has not yet arrived. Since it has not arrived, how do we know whether the Liang family's sedan chair will come or not?"
Sun Nuo said: "Marriage is a big matter, how can you act hastily? There is less than half a month left in the agreed period, and the Liang family has not yet paid the levy or requested a deadline. How do you want the Qiu family to believe that you have the heart to keep the promise? Could it be that the Liang family really thinks that if they pick a random day and deliver the sedan chair to the door of the Qiu family, the Second Miss Qiu will get on the sedan chair obediently?"
Master Liang's complexion darkened, he hesitated to speak.
Lu Zhenxue said: "Even though there is only half a month left, the agreed date will never come! Why is the Qiu family so impatient? Is there any reason to be impatient?"
Master Qiu's expression changed. What he said vaguely hinted at the innocence of Miss Qiu's family!
Sun Nuo said coldly: "Brother Lu, I call you Brother Lu, because in my mind, Brother Lu is a noble scholar with noble conduct, and I don't think there are times when I don't want to say anything!"
Lu Zhenxue didn't change his face and said: "Otherwise, how can you explain why Master Qiu would rather break his promise and do this act of remarrying a woman even though he knew that there was half a month left?"
Sun Nuo said: "Brother Lu keeps saying that one daughter is married twice, but how did Brother Lu know that Master Qiu intends to marry Miss Qiu to Master Tong?"
Lu Zhenxue suddenly smiled cunningly, "Of course I learned about it from Brother Sun."
Sun Nuo came back to his senses, his face suddenly changed.
"If Brother Sun hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that Master Qiu wanted to marry Miss Qiu to Master Tong." At this moment, Lu Zhenxue couldn't hide his complacency and confidence.
Sun Nuo didn't answer right away, seeing his expression, he was no longer annoyed by the gaffe just now, but was thinking about how to make it up.
Lu Zhenxue chased after him fiercely and said, "I don't know what benefits the Master Tong promised to the Qiu family?"
The corner of Sun Nuo's mouth twitched, and he was about to speak when he heard a loud shout from outside the hall: "My lord, I have a way to solve this case peacefully."
Tao Mo thought the voice was familiar, so he looked intently, who could it be if it wasn't Gu Xiaojia? I saw him kneeling upright outside the courtroom, with a pair of eyes staring at him.
Master Jin said: "How can you make any noise in the courtroom?! Come..."
"Wait." Tao Mo hurriedly stopped him.
Master Jin frowned, lowered his voice and said: "Your Excellency, roaring in the courtroom should be regarded as a top ten board."
Tao Mo then whispered: "But he said that there is a way to resolve this case peacefully."
Master Jin's face was serious, "Boss, you are the county magistrate, how can you listen to the words of a commoner boy in public."
Tao Mo hesitated.
Mu Chun smiled and said, "I'm afraid this boy in civilian clothes is just a messenger."
Tao Mo's eyes lit up immediately. That's right, with Gu Xiaojia's personality, he definitely wouldn't go to court to meddle in such nosy matters, and Gu She must have sent him here.
Master Jin said: "If it's Gu She, it's even worse! Gu She and Sun Nuo are brothers in the same school. If your lord listens to his methods, you will inevitably be slandered by others, saying that you are suspected of covering up."
Tao Mo said: "Master's words are wrong. If this method can really solve the matter satisfactorily, no matter who it comes from, it is a good way. If it is a good way, why is anyone's language dirty?"
Seeing that Master Jin refused to listen to his persuasion, Mu Chun seemed to let him go, and couldn't help getting angry, and let go of him.
Tao Mo said to Gu Xiaojia, "Come forward."
Gu Xiaojia stood up slowly, walked to the side of Lu Zhenxue, knelt down again, and said calmly: "My lord. Since the Liang family cares about the half-month period, and the Lu family cares about whether the Liang family will be hired, why not my lord?" How about waiting another half a month?"
Master Liang's face changed and he said, "No!"
Lu Zhenxue frowned slightly.
Tao Mo asked, "Why not?"
Master Liang said: "Now that the Qiu family and I have broken our faces, we are going to court. I am afraid that he will hold a grudge and deliberately delay the half-month deadline."
Tao Mo nodded and said, "It makes sense."
After Sun Nuo came in from Gu Xiaojia, his face regained its brilliance, and he said, "Master Liang is so good and unreasonable. You have been delaying for two years and still haven't come to the door, but now you are turning around and complaining that the Qiu family is not within half a month." Agreeing on the date of marriage is a delay, so what's the point of this?"
Master Liang kept a dark face and said nothing, just looked at Tao Mo and said, "My lord, please make the decision."
Tao Mo pondered.
Everyone in the hall looked at him eagerly.
In fact, it was not a difficult matter to deal with. Master Jin had at least two or three ideas in his head, but he didn't dare to say any of them. In his opinion, Tao Mo was so unpredictable that he was a bit cloudy and uncertain. He looked like a very simple person at first, but if he thought about the details after getting along with him, he would often break out in a cold sweat. Therefore, he was not sure whether Tao Mo's groaning at this time was putting on airs.
"Otherwise." Tao Mo finally said, "I have restricted the Liang family to visit within half a month to discuss the marriage.
Master Qiu suddenly said, "What if the Liang family doesn't visit within half a month?"
Tao Mo said: "Then the marriage certificate will be void!" He picked up the gavel and was about to say "Retire", when Master Liang yelled again, "My lord!"
When Mr. Qiu thought that the betrothal gift received by Tong's family was going to fly away, he felt great hatred and snorted coldly, "What else is there for Mr. Liang?"
Master Liang said: "My lord, the word embarrassment is too easy to cause ambiguity. Why don't you ask your lord to make the decision and set a date for my son and Second Miss Qiu to get married."
Tao Mo was stunned.
Except for the Liang family, everyone else was also startled.
Both Mu Chun and Lu Zhenxue looked thoughtful.
