"Why did Jiang Litigation Master say that!" Wang Pengcheng's litigator immediately jumped out and said, "The Queen Mother has been a widow for more than ten years. As Wang Pengcheng's son, has he ever been short of food and clothing?"
"Do good parents just have enough food and clothing?" Liao's litigator said, "I heard that Wang Pengcheng has always raised birds, and he has never been short of anything. Could it be that the filial piety of parents is no different from this kind of beasts?"
Wang Pengcheng's litigator shouted: "Food and clothing are just one of them, and doing good to parents is more than that."
Liao's litigator cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Wang Pengcheng's litigator seemed to realize that he was too excited and had fallen behind. He quickly adjusted his mood and said, "What is filial piety?" The way of filial piety can be called filial piety. Everyone knows that Wang Pengcheng has inherited his father’s business and has been running the cloth village in an orderly manner for more than ten years.
Liao's litigator said: "Filial piety is doing good to parents. Wang Pengcheng didn't change filial piety, only for his father. Where is the filial piety for mother?"
Wang Pengcheng's litigator said: "You keep claiming to be unfilial, and ask Wang Pengcheng why he is unfilial?"
After Tao Mo listened for so long in a daze, he finally heard the key point, and couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"Disobedience!" Liao's litigator spat out two words coldly.
Wang Pengcheng could not kneel any longer, and quietly glanced at Liao Shi.
Liao Shi also seemed a little uneasy, and secretly glanced at the lawyer he had hired.
The litigator is watching the opponent's reaction.
And the opponent...
But he was looking at the new county magistrate.
Tao Mo held the gavel in his hand and slowly moved it to his chest.
At this time, most people's eyes fell on him.
Even Master Jin, who looked like he was watching a play from beginning to end, couldn't help becoming nervous.
…
Knock or not
Their eyes were fixed on the hand holding the gavel.
"How to disobey?" Tao Mo asked while touching the gavel.
Seeing that he didn't intend to knock, everyone looked away, somehow disappointed in their hearts.
Liao's litigator returned to God and said: "There are three unfilial persons in etiquette. It is said that Ayi is obedient, trapping relatives and unrighteousness, one is unfilial; There are three types of unfilial piety. Among the three, no offspring is the greatest.' Wang Pengcheng has been widowed for many years. It can be seen that the good deeds of good parents are not only to serve, but also to obey the wishes of the parents, so that they don't let them worry in their old age, can't eat, and can't sleep well."
Wang Pengcheng looked ashamed.
Wang Pengcheng's litigator was about to speak, when Tao Mo nodded in embarrassment and said, "It's a blessing to be able to obey my mother's words."
Several people don't know why he feels. Liao's litigator saw that it was beneficial to him, and said: "In that case, please judge Wang Pengcheng to lose."
"Sentencing him to lose?"
Wang Pengcheng's litigator said anxiously: "It's impossible. I still have something to say."
"Don't talk too much." Tao Mo waved his hands and said, "Although I don't quite understand what you are talking about. But I also know that it is wrong to disobey your parents, and it is even wrong to have no heirs. So I decided..."
Liao's litigator looked happy.
"Sentence Wang Pengcheng to thirty sticks!" Tao Mo said.
"..."
The hall was silent.
Don't say that Liao and Wang Pengcheng were stunned, even the two lawyers were stunned. This kind of case is not so much a lawsuit against the other party, but a dispute about right and wrong. According to the usual practice, even if this kind of case is lost, the penalty is only some money, some on the surface and some secretly, it is a hard-earned money for the county magistrate to try the case. In Tanyang County, where there are many litigants and the court is regarded as the backyard, it is common to go to the court for such trivial matters, and it has never been heard that someone will be beaten.
Master Jin finally came to his senses, seeing Tao Mo looking at the hall stupidly, as if he was waiting for someone to execute, he coughed dryly and said, "Red lottery." Since he is a master, he will naturally do his duty as a master, but not for other things. That's all he is willing to worry about as a "one of the three thousand in the weak water".
Tao Mo panicked and grabbed a red-headed lottery and threw it down.
The hall servant stepped forward happily, pushed Wang Pengcheng down, raised his wooden staff and beat him down.
This is oil and water.
As long as the beating is not severe, the unlucky ghost who was beaten will know that the servant is merciful, and will definitely send a thank you silver afterwards. This is also customary. The hall servants did not expect that the new officials would give such a benefit when they first took office, so that they could spend the New Year comfortably.
This Wang Pengcheng is considered to be famous and famous in Tanyang County, and he has a lot of money, so if he doesn't take it for nothing, he won't take it for nothing.
Wang Pengcheng was a little dazed after the first two blows, and only cried out in pain after the third blow.
When Liao saw it, tears fell down, mouthful of heart and soul, but seeing that the servants couldn't hold back, she could only kneel down and beg Tao Mo, and wailed, "Women are short-sighted, my lord, don't care about me. Let me go." Come on! I will never dare to sue again from now on!"
How could Tao Mo bear her tears, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't hit me, don't hit me anymore."
The hall servant stopped without hesitation.
Liao screamed and threw herself on Wang Pengcheng.
Wang Pengcheng was beaten in a little pain, but when she threw him like this, the wound on his body burned hotly, his eyes rolled white, and he almost passed out.
It was the two lawyers who asked Liao to leave before he could catch his breath.
Tao Mo said to Wang Pengcheng, "Look, how much your mother loves you."
Wang Pengcheng rolled his eyes.
The two litigators looked at each other, reached a tacit understanding, and said, "My lord, please conclude this case quickly."
Tao Mo looked at Master Jin.
After all, Mr. Jin is a veteran, so he wrote down the case statement for the litigator to read.
When the litigator saw it, they all praised their mother and child for their affectionate compliments, and they were all very satisfied.
As a result, the case was left alone with a stick.
Wang Pengcheng was helped away, and Tao Mo chased after him and told him: "In the future, you must be more filial to your mother and listen to her more."
"..."
Wang Pengcheng was quickly dragged out of sight.
Tao Mo couldn't catch up, so he turned around awkwardly, just as Lao Tao and Hao Guozi came out.
Hao Guozi rushed forward and said, "Young master is so majestic!"
Lao Tao's face was not very good-looking, and he looked at Master Jin meaningfully.
Master Jin stood up calmly, gave Tao Mo a thumbs up and said, "It's really admirable that the master can come up with such a strange move in the first trial."
Tao Mo said, "I just want him to remember the lesson."
Master Jin nodded and said: "That's right. Such a trivial matter shouldn't be brought to the court to be announced to the public. The master's trick of killing chickens to scare monkeys is clever. I think no one will dare to do it again in the future."
Tao Mo was at a loss when he heard this, "What do you mean by killing chickens and monkeys?"
Master Jin gave him a knowing look, and quietly left.
Old Tao saw that Tao Mo was in a fog, so he explained: "He thought the young master beat that Wang Pengcheng on purpose, so that the people in the county would not sue the officials for such a trivial matter."
Tao Mo shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. It's just that the moment I heard Wang Pengcheng's disobedience, I seemed to see myself in the past, and couldn't help but want to beat myself up."
"..."
In other words, just now Wang Pengcheng became Tao Mo's stand-in for him
I really don't know what Wang Pengcheng would think if he knew the truth.
Lao Tao and Hao Guozi looked at each other, and both felt that it would be better to keep this secret.
Lao Tao said meaningfully: "Master, don't spread this matter."
Tao Mo asked subconsciously, "Why?"
Old Tao said: "I'm afraid that if the master's matter is found out by interested people, it will cause another disturbance."
Tao Mo nodded sadly.
Old Tao's face softened and he said: "Master must be tired after sitting in court for so long, why not go back and have a rest."
"Okay." Tao Mo tugged at Hao Guozi's sleeve, "You come."
Naturally, Tao Mo sought out Hao Guozi because of Gu She.
But Hao Guozi was full of complaints towards Gu She.
"Have you seen Gu She?" Tao Mo looked at him expectantly.
Hao Guozi shook his head and said, "I didn't see it."
"Ah? Why?" Tao Mo was startled, and suddenly fidgeted.
Hao Guozi snorted coldly, "Then Gu She is very airy. Many people post greetings outside his residence every day, and he only picks one or two to meet."
Tao Mo asked eagerly, "Have you seen it?"
"Of course not. I'm just a servant. The concierge of their mansion heard that I was the only one who came, so they almost threw out the greeting card." This was the first time he had encountered such treatment, and his heart was full of anger.
Tao Mo worried: "No wonder he wants me to wait outside his mansion. Sigh. If I don't go this time, he might annoy me."
Hao Guozi said: "Master, you are trying the case for the first time today, and everyone in the county knows it. How can he not know?"
Tao Mo said, "I hope he can understand."
Hao Guozi saw him acting foolishly, so he couldn't help but comfort him, "I don't think that Gu She is a good person, young master, it's better not to associate with him."
Tao Mo felt embarrassed to be seen through, "I just want to learn from him."
"What does he have to learn?"
"I don't know either." Tao Mo thought for a while, "But he looks very capable."
"... Actually Master Jin is quite capable."
"Well, so I invited him back."
Hao Guozi was startled. Does the young master want to invite Gu She back? But after thinking about it, he felt that Gu She's personality might not be willing, so he was a little relieved.
