Xuanmen's mother-in-law was read in her mind, and the whole family got rich by eating melons

"You're simply being alarmist! I'm just begging Uncle and Aunt Tian of the Tian family to help me get married to Tao'er. How have I insulted a sage?"

Wang Xiucai stood up all of a sudden, with a look of humiliation on his face.

"Chen Xiucai, please don't deliberately distort the charges. We are talking about marriage now."

Wang Xiucai and Chen Changan were both in Jixian Academy. Although Chen Changan kept a low profile, most of the students recognized him for his top grades.

Chen Changan said calmly, "I'm talking about the wedding."

"I dare to ask Wang Xiucai, what is the relationship between Tian Dashan and Liu Cuihua to you?"

"Future in-law's family."

"Have the two families exchanged marriage certificates?"

"The Tian family has withdrawn." Wang Xiucai frowned, having a bad feeling in his heart.

"Then it doesn't matter."

"But my two families have exchanged betrothal tokens!"

"The law of Dachu only recognizes the marriage certificate stamped by the government, not the betrothal tokens."

"You're talking nonsense. If it doesn't count, why do our two families need to exchange betrothal tokens?"

"It seems that Wang Xiucai's knowledge of laws and regulations is very shallow. The marriage law of Dachu households is written in the marriage law: private relations between people are not legal, but the official marriage book is legal."

In other words, engagement tokens privately exchanged among private parties are not covered by the law and are not recognized by the government. They only recognize the marriage certificate issued by the government.

This marriage certificate can only be stamped by the government after the two families exchange their signatures.

"So, Wang Xiucai, you have nothing to do with the Tian family, right or wrong?"

Wang Xiucai's face turned red and he mumbled without retorting.

"You also secretly fabricated an affair with Tian's daughter, right?"

Chen Changan asked again, and Wang Xiucai became excited, "When did I make this up? It's true that I fell in love with Tao'er at first sight, and it's true that I'm going to get married."

"But you and Tian's daughter are not married."

"you!"

"To call an unmarried woman by her name so affectionately before she is married is frivolous and destroys her innocent reputation. You are a bitch."

The bitch here refers to a person with despicable conduct.

"You Hu, I have an engagement with Tao...the daughter of the Tian family. We are going to get married soon. We are in love with each other. What's wrong with calling her more affectionate?"

Chen Changan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Since you said you are in love with the Tian family daughter, have you two agreed with each other in private?"

The counsel hired by Wang Xiucai had already told him that if he wanted to kill anyone who had an affair with the Tian family daughter, he would just take out a personal item and say it belonged to the Tian family daughter.

It doesn't matter whether it is true or not, as long as the Tian family's daughter's reputation is ruined and everyone thinks that the Tian family wants more benefits, it will be more beneficial to the Wang family.

"Of course, we also gave each other gifts." Wang Xiucai took out a crimson purse, and the people watching the excitement were in an uproar, pointing at the Tian family.

"No, no, he's talking nonsense. My daughter rarely goes out since she came back -" Liu Cuihua became anxious.

"Ms. Liu, don't talk nonsense." Chen Changan interrupted in time, glanced at Liu Cuihua reassuringly, and then looked at Wang Xiucai with a stern look, "What evidence does Wang Xiucai have to prove that this was a gift from the daughter of the Tian family?"

"This... how can such private items be easily proven?"

"It can't be proven that it isn't."

"Why not? It was given to me personally by Mr. Tian."

"When and where? Is there any witness?"

Wang Xiucai was sweating profusely. He felt Chen Changan pressing closer and closer, and he couldn't help but want to see his debater Gao Bianshi.

Chen Changan took a step forward, blocked Wang Xiucai's view, and asked again, "Yes and no! If you give false testimony and have bad character, your reputation as a scholar will be cut off!"

Defender Gao, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Sir, the opponent's defender is suspected of intimidation."

Cui Ping stroked his beard and looked at Chen Changan, "Chen Xiucai, pay attention to your words."

Chen Changan stepped away, looked at the debater Gao with a half-smile, and regained his calm tone, "Does Wang Xiucai have any witnesses?"

To be honest, when Wang Xiucai looked at Chen Changan in the past, he always seemed to be a very gentle person, but at that moment, he felt that Chen Changan looked like a wolf. The feeling of staring at him was terrifying.

"No, there is no witness." Wang Xiucai did not dare to lie.

Then, Chen Changan turned his head and handed Cui Pingyi in the hall.

"Unlike the previous dynasty, the great Chu Dynasty would kneel down when seeing an official and kneel down again when seeing the Lord. At the founding of our dynasty, Emperor Taizu once said that a person should stand up to the heaven and the earth and be regarded as a great person. He should only kneel before the heaven and earth as the emperor and as a master. Do not belittle yourself. "

"Wang Xiucai and his uncle and aunt from the Tian family are neither relatives nor friends, nor kindness. He treats each other with courtesy. It is not begging, but coercion. To coerce others with etiquette and law, and to coerce others with force is unethical."

"He has no personal relationship with the daughter of the Tian family, so he deliberately fabricates an untruthful relationship, destroys his innocence, despises himself, and is also a dissipator. He is still a scholar, reading books from saints, but not doing saintly things."

"It is an insult to gentlemen and sages. Therefore, the students demand that Wang Xiucai be punished."

Defiant Gao originally wanted to refute, but when he heard that Chen Changan mentioned Emperor Taizu, he suddenly lost his temper and glared at Wang Xiucai.

This Wang Xiucai didn't mean that the Tian family was a farmer, and his family had no money and couldn't afford a lawyer, so he didn't make any preparations.

"Well, that makes sense, then let's hit Wang Xiucai with ten hands." Cui Ping smiled.

Gao Bianshi spoke up in time, "Sir, a scholar is a scholar. How can ordinary people beat him? Why not go to Jixian Academy to ask for advice and come to punish him."

Unexpectedly, Cui Ping waved his hand, smiled, and rolled up his sleeves, "There is no need to trouble Jixian Academy's teachings. I can just come."

"...How could your lord be so condescending?" Gao Bianshi did not respond. Although the magistrate was in charge of the people of Jixian County, he was still the teacher of the students.

But I have never seen a county magistrate who personally beats a scholar.

"Why, I don't have the qualifications?"

While he was talking, Cui Ping had already taken the ruler from his master's hand and walked towards Wang Xiucai.

"Yes, yes." Gao Defiant said nothing.

"Hand out your hand, Wang Xiucai." Cui Ping said with a smile.

Wang Xiucai suddenly felt confident. No matter what, the county magistrate must be biased towards him.

So he stretched out his palm.

After a few breaths, the county government office let out a scream.

Ow—

Cui Ping's seemingly light blow made Wang Xiucai howl like a slaughtering pig.

The palm was visibly swollen.

"Oooooooo-"

Cui Ping only paused on the first board, and did not pause on the next nine boards.

For a moment, the only thing heard in the county government office was Wang Xiucai's miserable howl.

The people watching all backed away anxiously.

Meng Tan rubbed the palms of his hands secretly.

[This old man is indeed not a good person. He beats people too hard and is really scary. But this Wang Xiucai is so shameless. Be more cruel! ]

Cui Ping:…

When passing by Meng Tan, Cui Ping glared at Meng Tan.

Meng Tan:? ? ?

Is there something wrong with this old man?

"Continue." Cui Ping raised his hand as he sat down.

Defiant Gao stood up first. If Chen Changan were to continue speaking, he felt that Wang Xiucai would have to go in.

This person is always talking about legal principles, and even mentions Emperor Taizu.

"Sir, Wang Xiucai was wrong, but he was just too impatient. He treated the Tian family very well."

Most of these are made up by myself, there are some references, but not many.
