high official

Chapter 91 The Insidiousness of Wang Sihu
The two sides were confronting Bo in court, and Mr. Yu also rushed over after hearing the news. His father was named a fifth-rank doctor because of his noble status.Although it is only an honorary title, how can Wei Zhixian, as the imperial court order officer, take it for granted?

The magistrate of Wei quickly stepped down from his official seat, and greeted him with cupped hands: "The old Feng Jun came in person, and the lower officials are far away to welcome you."

Old man Yu is over sixty years old, but his body is still strong, but now he wants to rely on his old age to sell his old age, so he naturally pretended to be an old man, and slowly clasped his fists towards Weizhi County: "What are the old parents, the old man has come to accept the crime."

"What is the crime of the old Lord Feng?" Wei Zhixian asked hurriedly.

"Looking at my wicked beast kneeling under the hall, it must have violated the law of the country." Mr. Yu said leisurely: "I am not guilty of my father's fault, so I am naturally guilty..."

Wei Zhixian had no choice but to ask Yu Xiucai's father to get up, and asked someone to move a chair for old man Yu, so he sat down in the hall.Only then did he return to the big case and sit down, but he no longer had the arbitrariness before. He briefly introduced the case to the old man, and then said softly: "The specific situation is like this. What do you think of the old man?"

"Mother's family presides over the marriage for the first time, and then the husband's family presides over the marriage. This has been a rule for thousands of years." Mr. Yu said with lowered eyelids, "If you marry without my Yu family's consent, the marriage certificate cannot be established." , Naturally understand that whether the marriage certificate is established or not will determine the success or failure of the case.

"Where in the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" does it stipulate that remarriage requires the husband's family to preside over the marriage?" Chen Deye said loudly: "On the contrary, it is stipulated that the woman's parents and grandparents have the right to forcibly marry the woman!" This is also his confidence in the lawsuit.

But the old man sneered and said with a smile: "You have lived a long time, go out and find out, before the in-law's family is dead, which widow will be remarried by the mother-in-law's family?"

"But the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" is the only one that is accurate!" Chen Deye protested.

"Fool, I said in the Ming Dynasty that morality is the mainstay and punishment is auxiliary." Old Master Yu snorted disdainfully, cupped his fists towards the magistrate of Wei, and said, "I also ask the old parents to put the county's ethos as the most important thing, and the etiquette and prevention are the most important, and judge this case carefully. "

"Hmm..." Wei Zhixian nodded and remained silent.Although he is a saint's disciple, he is still a young man of flesh and blood. He naturally sympathizes with Chen Deye and Liu Shi from an emotional point of view.

But one of the most important responsibilities of the county magistrate is to guide customs and educate the people.What is good manners and customs?Go to the Jingshan Pavilion outside the county government office and see the stories of filial sons, virtuous grandchildren, virgins and chaste women.The national dynasty governs the world with loyalty and filial piety, and the embodiment of loyalty and filial piety is the three cardinal guides and five constant principles.

Wei Zhixian also believed that maintaining the rules and regulations was justified before, but when something happened, he realized that the guardians are actually executioners...Looking at the big-bellied Liu family, how can he be so cruel that he will designate the child in his belly as a wild species? ?That would kill a little life!
Besides, Chen Deye is not without support, he has the marriage certificate in his hand, and the "Law of the Great Ming Dynasty" to back him up, if he decides his wife is separated, he will definitely not let it go.Once there is trouble, why don't you give Shifen a chance to rectify himself?

Whether to follow the law or follow the custom, Wei Zhixian found himself in a dilemma.After pondering for a long time, Fang said to Mr. Yu: "Old Fengjun, if this matter becomes serious, it will not be good for anyone. Why don't you let the officials mediate and let it go away."

"My lord's kindness is appreciated." Old Master Yu said solemnly, "But my Yu family has no male offenders in three generations, and no remarried daughters in five lifetimes. This rule must not be broken!"

"Ms. Liu is now pregnant with Liujia," Wei Zhixian persuaded again: "If you were born in your family, your family will not be comfortable, and your children will not be able to behave in an upright manner. How can you hold your hands high and let them go. That way, who would not Saying that Yu Jiazhai is kind-hearted and magnanimous, old Feng Jun, do you think so?"

Wei Zhixian's words can be said to have given the Yu family enough face, but the old man didn't appreciate it, and still said with a bitter face: "It is said that the old parents ask for each other, and the old man has to obey. But I can ignore the face of the family, But it can’t go against the rule of law. The country governs the world with rites and teachings, and my family is deeply favored by the emperor, how can I..."

Let him speak out, but the old man would not let go, Wei Zhixian had no choice but to put the Liu family in prison, temporarily withdraw from the court, and announced a retrial at a later date.

Returning to the signing room, the magistrate of Wei asked Wang Xian and Sima Qiu to find him, and sighed, "This case is really difficult. If the judge decides, no matter what the result is, people will criticize it. But the Yu family does not accept mediation. How can this be good?"

"Don't worry, Dong Weng," Sima Qiu said firmly, "Zhong De must have a countermeasure!"

"..." Wei Zhixian and Wang Xian looked at him together, you old man is too lazy!
"Zhongde, tell me." Wei Zhixian had no choice but to ask Wang Xian.

"Yes..." Wang Xian's attitude is much more correct, and it's okay if he is not correct, because he miscalculated on this matter... He originally thought that Chen Deye had a marriage certificate in his hand, and the Yu family couldn't do anything to him. We can settle things down.Who knows but underestimated the stubbornness of the Yu family. "Students thought we could use delaying tactics."

"Delay?" Wei Zhixian frowned.

"Yes," Wang Xian nodded and said, "Ms. Liu has been pregnant for seven months. The master is afraid that she will have an accident, so it is natural and reasonable to settle the case after she gives birth." Being pregnant and being pregnant are completely different things. The teacher took pity on the innocent baby and wanted to protect his parents, so he sentenced Liu to leave the property and dowry to the Yu family, leave the house and marry Chen Deye!"

"It's good, this must be a famous sentence for scholars." Sima Qiu also regained his spirits, and continued with a smile: "At most, Chen Deye will be punished for his reckless violation of customs. If Le Shi announces that it will not be an example, we will It's thorough."

"Hehe..." Wei Zhixian was very moved, and a few beautiful scholarly judges were of great benefit to his official reputation.But the premise is that you have to be able to cover it. "I'm afraid that the Yu family will sue the higher authorities if they don't wait until the child is born."

"That's why we have to surround Wei and save Zhao." Wang Xian said lightly.

"Which country is Wei?" Wei Zhixian asked.

"Yu Xiucai." Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "Recently, it has been rumored in the county that Yu Xiucai encouraged the elders to prevent her from remarrying because she wanted to occupy the Liu family."

"There is such a thing?" Wei Zhixian is not easy to be fooled, he slowly shook his head and said: "I think that the old man's idea is very correct, how can it be used for scholars?"

"Liu's ex-husband is just a side branch of the Yu family. Mr. Yu spends his life in the countryside. If no one tells him, how can he take care of the affairs of the dignified nephew?" Wang Xian analyzed reasonably.

"Hmm." Wei Zhixian thought about it too, "If you want to know the authenticity, it's easy, just ask Mrs. Liu." So he asked people to bring Mrs. Liu here.

The county magistrate of Wei had a kind heart and did not let Mrs. Liu be imprisoned, but instead detained him in the Yin Hotel, where no embarrassment was allowed.

After a while, Mrs. Liu was brought here.Because she was inconvenient, Wei Zhixian refused to kowtow, and asked Wang Xian to bring her a chair, and then asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu, I ask you a question in private, and you must answer it truthfully."

"Yes." Liu said timidly.

"Let me ask you, is it really for the sake of fame that the Yu family doesn't allow you to marry again?" Wei Zhixian paused and said, "Is there another reason?"

"The woman doesn't know, is there some other reason?" Ms. Liu lowered her head, covered her face and wept, "But when the woman was a widow, her husband's cousin often came to the house and said some nonsense. If so, then... use your hands and feet..."

"Which cousin?"

"It's Yu Xiucai who was reprimanded by the elder today..."

When Wei Zhixian heard the words, his eyes were fixed, and he glanced at Wang Xian, meaning, is there really such a thing?

Wang Xian nodded lightly, and secretly said in shame, I had someone teach her.When the Liu family entered the county government, they entered Wang Xian's sphere of influence, and it was not difficult to pass the word to her.Although Liu didn't know who was helping her behind the scenes, she was a weak woman in prison, and she was at a loss. As long as someone offered help, she would obey her words like grasping at straws, and would not consider anything else at all.

"It's a bunch of nonsense, Yu Xiucai is both excellent in character and learning, and well-known, how could he do something that is worse than an animal?" Wei Zhixian suddenly said harshly: "If you have no evidence and false accusations, even if you are a pregnant woman, you must slap your mouth!"

"Folkwomen..." Liu was so frightened that she said, "Whoa, folkwomen..."

Seeing that she was about to reveal her secrets, Wang Xian had no choice but to cough lightly and said, "Mr. Liu, don't panic. The elder asked you if you have any evidence. If you have any evidence, say yes, and if you don't, say no."

"Evidence..." Liu Shi suddenly said: "Yes, yes, once he hugged me, I bit him on the chest, and he bit off a piece of meat, so he escaped his clutches... ..."

"Really?" Wei Zhixian said coldly.

"Really...Really..." Liu Shi timidly said, after all, she has never been through the battle.It all depends on the energy to let the child in the womb be born in an upright manner, so that he can perform beyond the standard.

"Go down." Wei Zhixian waved his hands and said, "You can rest assured to raise your baby. I will let your parents take care of your daily life and food."

"Thank you, Elder..." Liu's eyes burst into tears with gratitude, if it was possible, she would really not want to deceive this Elder Qingtian.

If it was possible, Wang Xian would not be willing to lie to Wei Zhixian, but the Yu family's family is very powerful... He witnessed the scene where Wei Zhixian was immediately suppressed as soon as the old man arrived, so he knew that to help the Liu family, he could only use shady tricks up.

How can you tell the upright magistrate of Wei County about this kind of shady business?

Fortunately, the magistrate of Wei County did not suspect him. When Liu Shi left, he cursed in disgust: "A beast in clothes, a gentle scum!"Naturally, Wang Xian was not doing it for Yu Xiucai, but because of a guilty conscience... Once the incident becomes serious, Yu's family will definitely try their best to clear Yu Xiucai of his crimes.A fake is a fake, and if you really want to investigate, you must reveal your secrets.
