The nineteenth of the first month.
The snow was falling, and it was freezing cold.
On the street just after the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the bleakness and weakness after the carnival inevitably appeared. Only outside the lobby of Shuntian Mansion was crowded with people rubbing shoulders.
The men, women and children shrank their shoulders, folded their hands, and stomped their feet like a tap dance, but they were still reluctant to move an inch.
"Come, come, Master Qingtian is here!"
Suddenly, I don't know who shouted, and everyone shouted. If it wasn't for the quick-witted Master Qin who was guarding the gate, who threw the jingjie whip around the mountain, there would have been a few idiots with their heads frozen and rushed directly into the lobby. went in.
It wasn't anyone else who caused such a commotion, it was the newly appointed Zhizhong master Sun Shaozong.
There are very few entertainment activities these days, and the wealthy and noble families can always find some ways to kill time, but the common people are in a state of 'hungry and thirst' all the year round, so a few lame stories, some unpopular jokes, also Can do word of mouth to tell each other.
Suddenly I heard that Sun Shaozong's case is like a god, and the 'live' is about to go to the court to question the case. Who wouldn't want to see it quickly? !
So there could be thousands of people coming here, and half of the street was completely blocked—fortunately, the government's deterrent force was strong enough these days, otherwise there would be a farce that would impact the government in minutes.
However, Sun Shaozong walked out of the back hall with official steps. Seeing the excitement outside the gate, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and contented.
Think that when he was in modern times, he solved ten times more cases than today
It can be so enthusiastically sought after, but it is really unprecedented.
Stabilizing his mind, he sat upright and sat under the plaque hanging high in the mirror. Seeing that Lin Delu was also seated in the jury seat, he picked up the three-foot gavel. As soon as he fell, he said loudly, "Ascension!"
Zhao Wuwei hurriedly followed and shouted: "Master has an order, go to the court to ask the case!"
"Mighty~Wu~!"
With the prolonged mighty sound, twelve water and fire sticks were beating on the ground at the same time, until the family of three was brought in and obediently knelt in front of the hall, it was temporarily over.
I saw that the old man Hu's beard and hair were all white and thin, but Hu Jingsheng and his wife were quite rich, especially the little woman, who knew that she was going to the court today to ask the case, she even dressed up with grease and powder, and the five points of color were changed. Raised to seven points.
After seeing the appearance of these three people, Sun Shaozong straightened his face and snorted knowingly: "Who is under the hall, sign up!"
"Villain Hu Dazhu—"
"Little man Hu Jingsheng—"
"The people's daughter Hu Lin-"
"I have seen Master Qingtian."
To follow the serious rules, there are a lot of formulas to ask questions like taking off your pants and farting, but Sun Shaozong is too lazy to follow the gourds, and these rules are just conventions, not regulations.
So he saved his mind and asked directly: "Hu Jingsheng, your father sued you and your wife for disobedience and unfilial piety in the complaint. He usually feeds them with leftovers, and treats them like pigs and dogs, but that's true?"
Hu Jingsheng hurriedly shouted his grievances: "Master, it's not the villain who did it on purpose, it's because the villain and his wife are busy outside..."
slap~
Sun Shaozong threw the jingtang wood on the table and asked in a deep voice, "I only ask you, these are the facts!"
Hu Jingsheng was so frightened that his two eyes were colliding with Sun Shaozong's eagle-like eyes, and his liver trembled. Something happened."
Sun Shaozong turned his attention to the Hu Lin family again: "Hu Lin family, your father-in-law said in the complaint that you deliberately poured swill on his quilt to humiliate him, does it matter?"
"Injustice, my lord!"
That Hu Lin's courage was obviously much stronger than her husband's, and he shouted in a shrill voice: "I just poured some swill that day, who would have thought where he would dry the mattress? Even if it is true, it is not a people's girl. On purpose!"
"Besides, isn't there such a thing as someone else's?"
"Let's just say that in the old Xu family in our alley, her daughter-in-law accidentally pinned the urinal on her mother-in-law. Why didn't the old lady Xu come to complain?"
"It's clearly because my father-in-law doesn't like little women, and he takes a little thing like a needle and thread, and he has to talk about it in a big way, just to kill the women!"
After listening to this sophistry, the old man Hu shouted 'nonsense' and 'nonsense' in anger, but how could he cover her arrogance
No wonder they all say that this woman has never lost a battle in a fight, she really is a eloquent pair of tongues!
Sun Shaozong sneered a few times in his heart, and suddenly asked: "You said that you accidentally poured some swill on it, then this official asks you, where did you stand that day, and where did you face the swill?"
When Mr. Hu Lin was arguing with others, he was used to messing around with others, but how could he have thought that Mr. Guan would ask such details
She didn't know the use of these questions, so she hesitated: "The little woman came out of the kitchen that day, and didn't pay much attention to it, she just splashed it..."
Sun Shaozong interrupted her again and asked, "So, are you standing at the door of the kitchen pouring swill?"
Hu Linshi hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right."
slap~
Sun Shaozong slammed the wood on the table again, and shouted sharply: "What a savage woman! This official has already made it clear, your clothesline is in front of the main room, but the kitchen is in the west wing. !"
"You said you didn't do it on purpose. Do you usually pour swill with your eyes closed and pour it directly on your doors and windows?!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of applause from outside the lobby:
"OK!"
"Master Qingtian is really wise!"
"As expected of God's judgment!"
"Bah~ what a general sentence, I'm going to call Mr. Zhizhong now!"
With the loud cheers, Hu Linshi was dumbfounded. How could she have thought that the master of the sky was so meticulous that he would actually check the layout of his own courtyard
"Hu Lin, this official will ask you again!"
Sun Shaozong asked again: "Your father-in-law said in the complaint that your husband and wife usually beat him or scold him, especially you, a vicious woman, who slapped him on the face three times under the pretext of excuses, is there any reason?"
That Hu Lin was exposed to the sophistry, and he was a little panicked at this time, but he still said stubbornly: "Sir, when he said this empty vernacular, how can you take it seriously?!"
"What an empty vernacular."
Sun Shaozong sneered, picked up the gavel and patted it lightly, and instructed: "Come here, bring witnesses, Granny Liu and old man Zhang!"
Not long after, I saw a pair of old men coming in, trembling and wanting to kneel.
Sun Shaozong hurriedly said: "Since you are old, you don't need to kneel and bow - and repeat what you said to the yamen."
The old man said: "Master Qingtian, that day I went to talk to Brother Hu because of some trivial matters, and I saw a slap print on his face! I asked him, but he wouldn't say much - but that print At first glance, it was beaten by a woman!"
Granny Liu also hurriedly said, "I've seen it once too! That slap print is so small that it was designated by his daughter-in-law!"
There was another uproar outside the lobby, and the voices of 'poisonous women' and 'sluts' were endless.
slap~
When Sun Shaozong mentioned the gavel, he tapped it neither lightly nor severely, and said solemnly, "Sister Hu Lin, what else do you have to say now?"
That Hu Lin was a little flustered at first, but then he gritted his teeth and raised his neck, and said disdainfully: "How many years have these two old guys and my father-in-law been friends, and they will collude to falsely blame the little woman, what's so strange?! "
"you you… "
"What a shameless little hoof!"
"The family is unfortunate, it's really the family's unfortunate!"
Not only did Granny Liu, Old Man Zhang, and Father Hu stomp their feet there, even Lin Delu, who was on the side of the jury, couldn't sit still. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, such a savage and vicious woman, it seems that lynching is impossible!"
Outside the lobby, some people shouted 'kill this bastard', 'let her ride a wooden donkey', 'soak her in a pig cage' and so on.
"And slow down the punishment!"
However, before Sun Shaozong could make a decision, he heard someone in the hall shout hurriedly: "The villain has an infatuation here!"
