Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 31 There are still grievances to be made

A quarter of an hour later, everyone set off to the county seat.

Everyone rushed to the county government office an hour before it closed. Ke Muqing beat the drum with the petition written by Ke Xiucai on the way.

As soon as Yin Tang came out, he saw his father-in-law and eldest sister leading a group of people standing outside the yamen. When he asked about the situation, he immediately took the paper and ran inside.

It's easy to do things when you have an acquaintance, even if the acquaintance is just a small government servant.

In addition, it was Ke Xiucai's granddaughter who was the source of suffering, so the county magistrate was a little more patient with these scholars who were related to his political achievements.

Qi Yintang stuffed money with him when handing over the petition, so the county magistrate immediately came out of the back office and sent people to rush to Shangyang Town to bring the Chen family to the county office.

It was rare for people to carry people to report to the official, and all the people passing by stopped.

Yin Tang personally brought the Chen family with his colleagues.

The horse almost ran out of breath along the way. The carriage stopped at the gate of the county government office. A group of people in the Chen family had vomited all the way and were in an extremely embarrassed state.

After getting off the carriage, Chen and the others started to tremble as soon as they saw the solemn county government gate.

As a villager who rarely comes to the county seat, even for a man as old as Mr. Chen, the biggest official he has ever seen is Li Zheng.

When I thought about being pushed to see the county magistrate, I didn't dare to take this step.

"Dad, that woman actually came to the government office to sue us?" Sixteen-year-old Chen Guangzong didn't even bother to vomit. He was surrounded by government officials with cold faces urging them to go in. In his eyes, the gate of the county government office in front of him was... At this moment, it looks like a tiger with its mouth open, ready to eat people.

Who among ordinary people is willing to come to the county government office?

Not to mention that the county magistrate loves money as much as his life, even if he joins the county government, his reputation is not very good.

When Ke Muqing met at the Chen family's county government office, no one in the Chen family took it seriously.

It wasn't until a group of government officials rushed into the Chen family and brought them here without any explanation. At this point, they had to believe that the Yang family had really reported to the government.

"Why is the county magistrate so busy taking care of people's family affairs?" Father Chen asked the government servant next to him in a low voice, "Sir, didn't the county magistrate slap the Yang family with a few blows and drive them away?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Zhang loves the people as his own children. How could he treat the people like you and other unruly people said?" Yin Tang scolded him with a dark face, and directly pushed the person forward, "I'm wasting time by dawdling any more." , I’ll give each of you thirty boards first!”

Master Zhang loves the people like his sons? Who believes this?
  The Chen family who didn’t come to the county didn’t believe it.

Several members of the Chen family pushed each other into the county government office. The person who thought he had been beaten to death unexpectedly appeared in the county government office, lying on the door panel with a thick quilt under him, looking full of hatred. Looking at them with interest.

In front of Yang Xiu'e, the Chen family was used to being aloof.

When they saw Yang Xiu'e, the Chen family even forgot that this was a county government office.

Mrs. Chen actually rushed towards Yang Xiu'e, clenched her fists to hit her, and cursed very unpleasantly in her mouth.

"You little bitch, my eldest grandson had to be gentle today so he didn't kill you, a family troublemaker. He actually instigated your parents' family to help you! Don't think that you can get rid of the Chen family by taking you away from your parents' family. I Let me tell you, since you married into the Chen family, you will be born as a Chen family member, and you should die as a ghost of the Chen family!"

"Guangzong just slapped you a few times, you deserve to suffer! Even if I beat you to death, you deserve this!"

This was the first time that Mr. Zhang was looked down upon like this in the hall, so he immediately raised the gavel and threw it hard. "You are so bold and unruly, how dare you despise me and the hall! I will first punish you for the crime of disrespect and give you a beating..." Mr. Zhang picked up a red-tipped stick and was about to throw it out, but felt uneasy and picked up another one. Gen threw it forward, "Twenty big boards!"

The yamen servant immediately stepped forward, blocked Mrs. Chen's mouth and dragged her out without giving her a chance to speak.

The county magistrate felt relieved after listening to the sounds outside and sat upright again. He looked down at the Chen family in the hall, and then looked at the paper.

He then said, "Chen Yong, you maliciously hurt someone and beat his mother black and blue and almost lost her life. All the Chen family members were cheering on her and prevented the Yang family from sending Yang Xiu'e to the hospital in an attempt to delay her death. Can you admit this crime?"

Father Chen and Chen Yong pulled Chen Guangzong and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Sir, I spent money to marry Yang Xiu'e into my family. She is my Chen family. Since she is my Chen family, she should be beaten, scolded and disciplined by my Chen family. How can it be said to be a crime?" Chen Yongsang said. Defending with a straight face.

"Absurd! I have never heard of a godmother since ancient times. I heard that your boy Chen Guangzong is still a scholar and studies in a private school in Shangyang Town. How can he not know such simple human ethics and etiquette since he has studied?"

Ke Xiucai shouted angrily, "Besides, the Yang family is a married woman. We will marry Yang Xiu'e to your wife Chen Yong instead of selling her daughter as a slave. We will sell Yang Xiu'e to the Chen family as a domestic slave and let your Chen family take care of people's lives and beat them at will." Scolding her for being so contemptuous!"

"The laws of our court never allow a husband to beat his wife to death arbitrarily, and they never allow a son to beat his mother until she is worse than dead!"

Ke Xiucai raised his hands to the hall and said, "Ke dares to ask you to take a look at the clothes that my granddaughter has just changed into, so that you can know how this poisonous son of the Chen family beat my granddaughter to pieces and bruises all over her body!"

Mr. Zhang was unfazed and nodded, and soon the yamen servant laid out the tattered bloody clothes, and then shook them out for display in the hall.

The people watching outside the hall suddenly took a breath of cold air, and everyone was talking about it.

Looking at the state of her clothes, it can be seen that the woman lying on the ground, unable to get up and kneeling, must not have a good piece of flesh left on her body.

"This is Dr. Zhou from Wangshan Town Medical Clinic. He can prove the seriousness of my granddaughter Yang Xiu'e's injuries."

Doctor Zhou took two steps forward and knelt down and kowtowed, "I have seen you, sir. Zhou is not very talented. He has served in Jingzhong Tai Hospital for decades, and his medical skills were praised by the Queen Mother. Zhou's ancestors have been doctors for generations. In terms of medical skills, Zhou You can speak loudly without being ashamed, and you will never be ashamed of your ancestors."

Hearing that a doctor had such a high profile, Mr. Zhang's straight waist even bent a little.

Not to mention meeting the Queen Mother, he has not even been to the capital.

He didn't have the confidence to show off his airs in front of Langzhong Zhou.

"Master Zhang, Zhou can testify that when Yang Xiu'e was sent to the hospital, she only had one breath left. It was Zhou who used his ancestral skills to pull her back from the gate of hell. If Yang Xiu'e hadn't touched her, she would have been injured today. If it’s too heavy, you will definitely die.”

After saying this, Langzhong Zhou retreated into the crowd.

Yang Xiu'e struggled to get up, gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground in one breath, kowtowing.

"Sir, the women of the common people still have grievances to say."

"When a liberal woman married into the Chen family, she regarded her children as her own. She was obedient to her parents-in-law and never disobeyed her. She was obedient to her husband's orders."

"After the commoner woman married into the Chen family, several children of the Chen family were taught by the commoner woman. The eldest son, Chen Guangzong, was taught by the commoner woman to be able to write a hundred words and read poems."
