Chapter 45 Old Handsome Guy

"Oh, the husband's family is begging the girl's family like this. I think your family should stop being ignorant and get married. This woman is a prostitute and cannot be the first wife."

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, the reputation of a woman's family is linked to her future life. Wang Xiucai's family is not bad either. Your daughter will live a good life after marrying her."

"As the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than ruin a marriage... This is a lack of great virtue."

Meng Tan's mouth dropped, and his fists clenched.

As an outsider, she was so angry, let alone Liu Cuihua, whose strong figure was shaking.

The world is like this. When has the world been tolerant to them?

The world always thinks that the husband is superior to Heaven, so how can a woman rebel against Heaven?

Look, the sky is bending down to beg you, don’t be ungrateful.

Everyone lives like this. She never expected that the Wang family would be so open-minded and wanted to force her daughter to death!

"My in-laws, in order to make up for it, we will get married immediately. I will give you an extra dowry, and I will send this little prostitute away immediately."

When Mrs. Wang saw Liu Cuihua's appearance, she couldn't even suppress the pride on her lips. Hey, no matter how aggressive you are, you still can't get over her.

"I……"

"The official is here."

Someone in the crowd shouted, interrupting Liu Cuihua's words.

In a few seconds, the crowd turned into a dozen official officers with swords, and they suddenly surrounded Wang Tian's family.

"I have received a report from the official. There are remnants of the previous dynasty here who are forcing marriage. We are here to arrest them!"

"Ah!" This old guy! Arrest people quickly!

Regardless of Mrs. Wang and Liu Cuihua, who were jumping around so much just now, their faces turned pale when they saw the official.

Even Tian Dashan’s legs were a little shaky.

Meng Tan pushed Liu Cuihua and found that Liu Cuihua was paralyzed.

Well, she understood the ancient people's natural fear of officials, so she had no choice but to do it herself.

Then, everyone saw a woman with gentle eyebrows pointing at a woman with a mean look and shouting "Ahhh".

The head catcher Cheng Dali had handled so many cases, and there was nothing he didn't understand. With a wave of his hand, he took the entire Wang Tian family present back to the county government office.

Changhe Town is the richest town in the entire Jixian County. Because it is surrounded by water and has a large dock with many merchants coming and going, it is the commercial center of the entire Jixian County.

The largest academy in Jixian County, Jixian Academy, is also here.

It is only a hilltop away from Ji County and can be reached in half a day by horse carriage. Therefore, the county government is located in Changhe Town.

Firstly, there are many people here, and it is also a place with many things to do. Secondly, there are many students here, and the great Chu emphasizes educating people. If something big happens to the students under their control, it will be a serious crime.

The Jixian County Government Office was maintained in a dignified manner, but there was still a faint air of oppression, which made people who entered the door unconsciously straighten themselves.

Meng Tan was still quite curious about how the ancient yamen worked. Looking around, there weren't many scenes. They were all yamen-related utensils. Looking at the court...well.

Logically speaking, people who come to complain usually have to kneel in the hall, but that's not the case with Chen Changsheng.

Chen Erlang's face was extremely pale. He was sitting at a table in the hall, as if he had a thorn in his butt and could not sit still.

And next to him, oh, Meng Tan swore that he had never seen such a handsome old man, and he couldn't say that he had a good-looking face, but his beard was long and dark.

He has a clear face and a slim figure. The purple official robe embroidered with the sun, moon and egrets is really tasteful. It has the ascetic taste of Meng Tan who looked at the marketing accounts in modern times and became a civil servant in the uncle circle.

[Ah, it’s like he’s the most beautiful woman in the world. His wife is so beautiful. ]

An old man who was writing a petition at his desk suddenly raised his head, looked in the direction of Meng Tan, then lowered his head after doubting it, and asked Chen Changsheng something. Chen Changsheng immediately stood up in fright, and when he got closer, Meng Tan heard what was being said.

"Without adults, that's all...that's all."

Meng Tan glanced at the piece of paper, oh~ it's a pleading paper, ah, it turns out that the ancients really needed to write a pleading paper when suing an official.

The writing is quite nice.

As soon as she raised her head, she met a pair of eyes. The owner of the eyes looked at her for a few seconds, and there seemed to be a smile in her eyes. Then she took the paper and sat behind the koan.

bang bang bang-

The officers on both sides holding killing sticks suddenly began to pound the ground.

Meng Tan couldn't describe the feeling. It was like that in an extremely quiet situation, a heavy thumping sound suddenly sounded. There was no human voice. It was plain and could bring out the fear in people's hearts, which made people less popular. .

With a crash, everyone who came in knelt on the ground. Only Wang Xiucai was asked by a man who looked like a master to stand aside.

Meng Tan was slow for a moment before following the others and kneeling down.

[Damn feudal society, they don’t even know how to respect the old and care for the young. ]

Chen Changsheng glanced at my mother and felt a cold and shuddering sensation on my neck. Fortunately, I couldn't hear it, otherwise I would have had to chop off my mother's head.

No one saw it, and the adults in the hall twitched their lips.

"I am Wang Huaibao, a native of Changhe Town, Ji County. He was admitted as a scholar in February of the ninth year of Taichu. Are you?"

"Sir, he is a student." Wang Xiucai had seen the world at least, but he didn't tremble, but he was a little nervous due to the aura of this adult.

"Now, Chen Changsheng, a man from Dading Village, Changhe Town, Ji County, is suing you on behalf of his in-laws' family to force his eldest sister Tian into a marriage that was forced by law in the past. Do you agree?"

"Sir, this is a false accusation! It's because the Tian family doesn't want to marry their daughter, that's why they say this. The Tian family daughter and I are in love!"

Wang Xiucai now came to his senses. The moment he saw the official officer, his mind cleared up. If he married Chunhong, he would be devaluing himself.

He went to the academy to argue that he would be expelled from his academic career. Now, as long as the Tian family doesn't want to marry their daughter, the issue between him and Chunhong can only be attributed to his youth and immaturity.

"Sir, he, he is talking nonsense. It was his family who came to harm my daughter just so that this prostitute could come in with a clear name!"

For the sake of his daughter, Tian Dashan also stepped forward now. His voice was trembling with fear, but he still spoke clearly in one breath.

"Sir, it was just because I really missed the daughter of the Tian family that my mother asked the matchmaker to discuss early marriage with the Tian family. Unexpectedly, the Tian family did not agree and actually chased her into the town and insulted my mother in the street."

"Sir, I want to sue the Tian family for trespassing!"

Wang Xiucai looked angry, and none of the Tian family could understand the words that came out of his mouth.

But they understood one thing: Wang Xiucai wanted to sue them.

Tian Meng was angry and pointed at Chunhong on the side, "Sir, he is talking nonsense. His family is plotting against my sister! He also raised a prostitute outside as his wife. My sister is innocent and does not serve her husband together with the prostitute. You Look, this woman is the prostitute!"

"Very good." The person in the hall spoke and looked at Wang Xiucai, "Wang Xiucai, since you want to sue Tian's family, where is the petition? Where is the defense counsel?"

Wang Xiucai suddenly became excited, and he knew that the magistrate must be biased towards him.

He is a scholar.
