Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Zhou coldly, the little hope in her heart had already dissipated, and things have come to such a point, they still don't know what's wrong. When she learned that the second young master was Zhou Yongyan's biological son, she really felt resentment and hatred. But thinking that the woman is dead, and she has three children herself, after all, she and Zhou Yongyan have been married for more than ten years.
So, she tried several times, trying to get Zhou's mother and son to tell the second young master's life experience. If they confessed to her, if they confessed to her that they were wrong, then she would forgive him, and the family continued to live as before.
But the Zhou family's mother and son pretended to be confused, no matter how many times she made explicit hints, they remained indifferent. Later, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she made the matter clear and asked them if the second young master was Zhou Yongyan's biological son
The Zhou family's mother and son denied it at first, but finally told the truth when they couldn't hide it. But they didn't show the slightest remorse. Instead, they blamed her for being ignorant and disturbing the house.
After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou smiled instead of anger, "Ms. Zhou, I want to ask you. You said that your son did something wrong in ignorance. Now that he is 30 years old, it is not the slightest thing. There is no repentance."
A smile curled up on Yan Shi's lips, he admired Mrs. Zhou quite a bit. When things happen, he is calm, handles things without sloppiness, behaves well, and speaks with reason. If such a person is a man, he will definitely become his right-hand man.
"What did you call me?" Mrs. Zhou yelled strangely, pointing at Mrs. Zhou trembling with anger, "Listen, you all listen, what is she talking about, she doesn't even call her mother now! It's really unfortunate that my Zhou family married you! It's unfortunate!" Mrs. Zhou patted her thigh with both hands while talking.
Mrs. Zhou said, "Since Mrs. Zhou thinks it is unfortunate for the Zhou family to marry me, then let Zhou Jieyuan make peace with me."
"Heli? You have a good idea." Mrs. Zhou said angrily, "I want my son to divorce you, a vicious woman!"
"Yes." Mrs. Zhou has no objection, "It's okay for me to divorce, as long as I can leave you."
Just as she was talking, she suddenly saw a fast figure approaching her. Mrs. Zhou was unprepared, and was suddenly pushed to the ground by Master Tuesday, "You bad woman! Bad woman!"
The yamen servants on both sides hurried up to subdue Young Master Tuesday, and dragged him out of the hall according to Qian County Magistrate's wishes. The people onlookers were talking about it, not knowing why the young master on Tuesday suddenly went berserk. Even County Magistrate Qian was startled, he slapped the gavel, "Zhou Jieyuan, is this how your child treats his wife on weekdays?"
Zhou Yongyan's face turned red and turned pale, and today he lost all his face. "It wasn't like this in the past, but since the wife wanted to reconcile, the relationship between the child and the wife has gradually become estranged."
The implication is that it's all Mrs. Zhou's fault. If you didn't say you want to reconcile, he wouldn't treat you like this
Yan Shi suddenly said, "Zhou Jieyuan, how does that lady treat the second young master on weekdays?"
Zhou Yongyan bit the bullet and said, "Like a parent and child." This is a well-known fact in the entire Tonglin County. There are so many people standing at the gate of the county government office, he can't resist it.
Yan Shi continued, "If that's the case, then the Second Young Master should have begged Mrs. Zhou not to reconcile after learning about this, but judging from the situation just now, he has hatred for Mrs. Zhou instead?"
"This..." Zhou Yongyan was speechless.
Mrs. Zhou said sideways, "My lord, if he can't say it, let the women tell it. In the past, the second young master and I were indeed born of the same child, and he always thought that I was born. But later, when he knew that I was not his After giving birth to my mother, I thought I was jealous and couldn't tolerate his father taking a concubine, that's why his father raised a concubine outside, and he and his mother lived outside for many years."
Hua Ling whispered, "It's wrong for him to think that way, you don't know they exist."
It was the attitude of Master Tuesday towards her that completely chilled her heart. After more than ten years of nurturing, she raised a white-eyed wolf.
Mrs. Zhou kowtowed to the hall again, "Your Excellency, you have seen how the Zhou family treated me. The evidence of Zhou Yongyan's raising a concubine is conclusive. Please learn from me."
Mrs. Zhou started crying again, pointing at Mrs. Zhou and scolding, County Magistrate Qian got a headache from her quarrel, rubbed his head and asked the yamen servant to drag her out of the hall.
Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Yongyan, with a look of sadness in her eyes, "Now that things have happened, I want to hear a few truths. Why did you raise a concubine in the first place? You said before that I was the only woman in this life."
Zhou Yongyan sighed and said, "Not long after we got married, you became pregnant. I dare not touch you for fear of hurting the child, but you know that I am a man, and even men have needs in that regard."
Mrs. Zhou sneered, "I'm pregnant and suffered all kinds of torture, but it's really not hard at all."
"It's different." Zhou Yongyan defended in a low voice.
To this day he still does not feel that he was wrong, it is hopeless. Mrs. Zhou asked again, "You can take a concubine, maybe I will agree then."
"At the wedding, I swore to everyone that I would never take a concubine in my life. If I do..." There is no need to say the following words, everyone knows what the unfinished words are, "I think those women in the brothel are dirty, so I just I can find someone with a clean family background. I thought I would sever ties with her after you gave birth to a child. I always let her drink Bizitang, but she lied to me not to drink it. It’s all the fault of that woman, it’s her Lied to me."
It is always someone else who is wrong, and I am not at all wrong.
Mrs. Zhou suddenly felt relieved, and those gloomy emotions were swept away. What else can I talk to this person? After thinking it over, Mrs. Zhou said, "My lord, I have nothing to say, please pronounce the sentence."
County Magistrate Qian patted the gavel, "Zhou Yongyan, what else do you have to say?"
Zhou Yongyan's face was ashen, "I have nothing to say."
"Okay!" County Magistrate Qian sat upright, and continued, "Listen to the verdict!"
According to the laws of the Dayuan Dynasty, a man who raises an outside room will be punished with a cane for forty years, and a woman will be punished with a cane for eighty years. However, the second young master's biological mother is dead, so the coffin will be opened and the corpse whipped. If he has a reputation or is an official, he will be charged with a higher crime, such as Zhou Yongyan, who cannot keep his status as a juror, and will be sentenced to one year in prison after being dismissed.
The sons born in the outer room are not allowed to enter the family tree, and the second young master was also expelled from the family tree.
Mrs. Zhou's dowry had to be returned in full. Mrs. Zhou's natal family was also in business and had left a lot of shops for her. The income from the shops over the years was naturally used for the family. So the shop has to be repaid, and all the income from these years has to be repaid.
As for Mrs. Zhou's plan to take away the three children she gave birth to, County Magistrate Qian did not agree, and there was no such provision in the laws of the Dayuan Dynasty. However, Mrs. Zhou was also very satisfied with this. Immediately, County Magistrate Qian hired a few accountants to liquidate the Zhou family's property.
The matter of the Zhou family is finally coming to an end. County magistrate Qian wiped the sweat off his forehead and was about to withdraw when he heard Yan Shi say, "Magistrate Qian, the case of the Zhou family is over, but your business is gone. Accepting bribes What do you want to judge?"
As he spoke, he walked over to County Magistrate Qian, who was so frightened that Magistrate Qian rolled out of his chair and knelt down in front of the hall. The common people didn't know this sudden change, so they saw Yan Shi slap the gavel, "I am the Minister of Dali Temple, and I am here to investigate the case. If you have any grievances, come quickly, and I will make the decision with you!"
The common people were afraid to go at first, but in the end some boldly shouted, "My lord, will you really decide for us?"
"Really." Although Yan Shi was young, there was an indescribable majesty sitting there, making people only dare to look up and submit.
The person who spoke thought for a while, then pushed away everyone, "I'm coming!"
This is a man in his forties. He walked a few steps in front of the hall and knelt down. "My lord, but I don't have a pleadings. I heard that you need a pleadings?"
"No problem." Yan Shi ordered people to bring a few tables, put pens, ink, paper and inkstones on them, and called all the people in the government who could write, and asked them to help the common people write the pleadings. If they could write, they could write it themselves.
Qu Liushang is naturally one of them. Hua Ling clenched his fists and then loosened them, loosened them and clenched them again, and finally mustered up the courage to look at Yan Shi pitifully and said, "My lord, I can also write."
Looking at Hua Lingyan, he smiled indistinctly. Although the little princess's literary talent is hard to describe, but the handwriting is still passable, and he couldn't bear to refuse him.
, and agreed.
Hua Ling happily sat behind a table, planning to write a pleading for the person who wanted to sue.
The people outside saw that the official was serious, and they all said that they had a lawsuit to sue, and those who wanted to sue and write the pleadings would wait in the left side, and those who had written the papers would wait in the right side for promotion.
What the man was going to sue just now was County Magistrate Qian for kidnapping a civilian girl. There was only one girl in his family, who was very beautiful. She went shopping in the street in the morning, and County Magistrate Qian saw her, and she was robbed into the mansion.
He went to argue and was beaten up. Just now when Yan Shi said this, he rekindled hope, if something happened to the left and right daughters, he didn't want to live anymore, they would all die anyway, why not give it a try.
Yan Shi said, "Who else wants to sue County Magistrate Qian?"
"Me!" "Me!" "Me!"
Shouts continued, and Yan Shi said, "Those who want to sue County Magistrate Qian come here first." Nine out of ten people wanted to sue County Magistrate Qian, and the lobby was dark and knelt on the ground. There were too many people suing County Magistrate Qian, and they all knelt on the street .
Yan Shi asked them to talk one by one, trembling every time they said Qian County Magistrate.
County magistrate Qian is like a local emperor in Tonglin County, he has done a lot of bad things, and he can't keep his head. Yan Shi asked Zhao Chunhai to take the letter and seal he had written to go to the sheriff. He did not have the right to behead the county magistrate first.
On the second day, the sheriff personally brought people to take magistrate Qian away, and the people all applauded. Not long after the sheriff left, the case in Tonglin County was over, and Mrs. Zhou's dowry was also divided.
