Chapter 76

Luo Tiandu turned around and saw a middle-aged policeman in green clothes hurrying over, and hurriedly called out, "Is the one in front Liu Butou?"

Liu Butou paused, looked at Luo Tiandu, and saw an old man and a young woman standing in front of the county government office, he couldn't help but put his hand on the waist knife, and asked vigilantly: "Who are you? Wandering around the gate of the county yamen early in the morning, but what's the matter? If there is a grievance, go and write a complaint first, if there is nothing wrong, the yamen is a heavy place, or leave quickly, "

Luo Tiandu hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand Mr. Liu, we are from Luojia Village."

Liu Tutou frowned: "Luo Family Village? Luo Xiucai's family?"

"Exactly." Luo Tiandu nodded and said, "We just want to ask, how is he doing now? Did the magistrate say when he will be interrogated?" After speaking, he quietly handed over a small piece of broken silver.

Liu Butou touched the silver in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and put it away.This is a common practice. If someone commits a crime in a family, the family members say that they must not go up and down. If they only ask about the prisoner's own situation and do not involve the case, the whole yamen will turn a blind eye.

Liu Butou also collected a lot of money like this, he was very experienced, but he didn't expect that the leader of this family was actually a child, so he was quite surprised.

"Luo Xiucai's current situation is good. Our county magistrate is the most honest and honest person. He just ordered Luo Xiucai to be imprisoned. We will wait for the county magistrate to finish the trial before making any fuss about it."

Luo Tian heard Liu Butou say this, so he was relieved and said: "Then can we go and see my father? My mother was worried that he didn't have any clothes to change, so she rushed to pack a few clothes and come over."

Liu Butou frowned, feeling a little displeased.

It turns out that the yamen has the saying of painting mao and painting you. It means that you go to the yamen to sign in at the moment of mao, which means that you have finished work. You can sign again at you and you can go home.Because the drawing time is very early, but the county magistrate's office is much later, many yamen servants come here in a hurry after getting up, and after signing in, they go back to rest and have breakfast. At your service.

The same is true of Liu Butou, because yesterday he went to Luojia Village to summon Luo Baisu, and he worked hard for a while. He came here in a hurry this morning. Being dragged and asked non-stop, he was naturally a little impatient.However, he took Fang's money, so naturally he couldn't show it too clearly, so he casually said: "This is not easy to handle, I just follow orders, and the rest depends on how the magistrate will deal with it. After all, my mother sued her son for disobedience and unfilial piety, and the crime is not small. Why don't you just wait a few more days, and the county magistrate will definitely hold a public trial at that time." Afterwards, it was somewhat perfunctory.

After Catcher Liu left, Fang came up with an idea and said, "Why don't we go and beg Mrs. Tang, at least let us meet your father."

Luo Tiandu disagreed.

In fact, she didn't expect to rely on Mrs. Tang or Mrs. Tang to be of any help this time. First of all, they didn't have any friendship. Even when the Fang family taught Shen Sanniang to make rice noodles, she was also rewarded generously. With the attitude of paying for the goods, I have never owed them anything; secondly, Luo Baisu's crime is unfilial, which is indeed a taboo of the world.As for Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang, one has an adult son and is enjoying the support of his son, and the other has a son and is cultivating it carefully. No matter what, they will stand on the side of the world.

Her greater hope is actually the old patriarch of Luojia Village.

Fortunately, the case didn't drag on for two days. On the third day, County Magistrate Tang sent officials to send the old man Luo, Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Fang and other relevant personnel to the county government office for a public trial of Luo Baisu's case.

I heard that the magistrate of the county is going to hear the case of the old woman suing her son for disobedience and disobedience. In the early morning, the county government surrounded many people watching the excitement.There was an older person who still remembered the tragedy of Lin Xiucai's case back then. It just so happened that the defendant today was also a scholar, so he described the situation in his mouth, so more and more people came.

Luo Tiandu's family had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, waiting for the magistrate of Tang County to be promoted to trial, and Luo Baisu was the first to bring him.

Because County Magistrate Tang never took him away from fame, the court also arranged for him to sit on a bench, but the others did not have this treatment, so they could only kneel in the courtroom.Luo Tian turned his face and saw that Luo Baisu's complexion was fine, but there was a tired look between his brows and eyes, so he was a little relieved.

At least the fact that she was worried that Luo Baisu would suffer some flesh and blood did not happen. It seems that the privilege of a scholar is still very effective in this era. At least the incident of being tortured into a trick did not happen to Luo Baisu today.

Luo Baisu saw that his wife, children, and father were all kneeling in the hall, and he was the only one sitting, so he got up to let old man Luo sit on the stool.

Magistrate Tang nodded secretly when he saw it.He had met Luo Baisu a few times, and at first he felt that although this man was a bit silent and dull, he was not that frivolous, and he had even criticized a few articles by him. The papers he checked are clear at a point. If there is a famous teacher to guide him, it will not be difficult to make a success in the future.But today, "benevolence and filial piety" is used to rule the world, and the prevailing atmosphere ranks benevolence and filial piety at the top. Luo Baisu violated this taboo, even if he intended to protect him, he couldn't make it too obvious.

Magistrate Tang patted the gavel and said, "Luo Baisu, your mother sued you for being unfilial, do you have anything to say?"

Luo Baisu said, "The son doesn't say anything about the mother's fault, and the student doesn't say anything."

Magistrate Tang asked Yao again: "How can your son be unfilial? Can you sue the yamen with a single piece of paper? Do you know that if a scholar adds this stigma, he will have no chance of fame in this life. Luo Yao, you can think clearly gone?"

Yao said: "Both parents are present at home. If an unfilial son sets up a separate family to save money privately, and does not support his own parents, the old woman speaks out about him, and the wicked daughter-in-law at least insults and abuses her elders, and even allows her granddaughter to disrespect her elders." , the old lady has no other choice but to ask the court to deal with it."

As soon as Yao shi spoke, the audience outside felt righteous indignation, and immediately felt that Luo Baisu was too much of an idiot, so unfilial, no wonder the old woman wanted to sue him, they all secretly thought that they must discipline themselves well after returning home If that skinny monkey is not obedient, he will have to be served with a stick, and he must be beaten to be tame, and he must never raise another disobedient child.

And the violent one shouted loudly outside: "Unfilial son, kill him! Kill him!"

When Mrs. Yao heard this, Douzi's big eyes narrowed immediately, wishing that the magistrate would immediately order Luo Baisu to be beaten to death with a stick.

Luo Tiandu was also kneeling in the hall at that time, hearing Yao Shi's remark, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.Yao shi has not been at home these few days, she probably invited an expert to teach her how to deal with it in class, otherwise she has never seen her speak so gracefully.

Magistrate Tang frowned when he heard the words, and asked Luo Baisu again: "Your mother said you so, can you justify yourself?" This gave Luo Baisu a step to defend himself, if it was Luo Baisu's reason It was reasonable, and he didn't mind taking sides.

Seeing that Qiu Wei was about to arrive, the scholars in Jinyong County didn't have much to talk about, but Luo Baisu was one of the rare stable people among these scholars, and was sued by his own mother to the Yamen. I was also very annoyed.On the one hand, he was annoyed that Mrs. Yao had nothing to do, and that picking this critical juncture forced him to ruin the future of the next scholar; to give.

Luo Baisu also knelt down and said, "The students have nothing to say."

It is a fact that his family is separated, and it is also a fact that the Xiaodu sisters and Luo Baiqiu and the Yao family are at odds, although the reason for the disagreement is not their own children.

County magistrate Tang thought of the right and wrong of the Luo family that the guards had inquired about in the past two days. Naturally, he knew that Luo Baisu was not Yao's biological son. He wanted to be a peacemaker, so he said to Yao: "I see your son , It doesn't seem like an unfilial person. The county asked him for a long time in class, but he never said that you are not. If the family has something to do, just discuss and deal with it. Luo Yaoshi, the county will give you another chance. You If the complaint is withdrawn, I will not punish you for false accusation of disrupting the court, you just go home and teach your children."

Mrs. Yao endured it for a long time, and finally made trouble to this point. Seeing that Luo Baisu was about to be trampled into the mud, if the trouble was more serious, like Lin Xiucai, he would lose his life in the yamen. As she wished, how could she be willing to be persuaded by Magistrate Tang to change her mind with a few words, and she insisted that Luo Baisu disrespected his elders and was mean to his younger siblings, so he just asked Magistrate Tang to beat him to death with a stick.

County magistrate Tang hadn't spoken yet, but old man Luo was so angry that Yao almost jumped up, and said to Yao with a trembling voice, "Why did Dalang ever forgive you, you want to hurt him like this?"

Seeing that old man Luo was still protecting Luo Baisu, Mrs. Yao was so angry that he quarreled with him in the hall: "You and I are here, and he wants to separate the family. This is one of the unfilial acts; Our family eats chaff and swallowed vegetables, which is the second disobedience; he indulges his daughter and fights with the sister-in-law, which is the third disobedience. Since he has done this, I am his mother, and it is only natural to sue him for unfilial piety. "

Luo Tian felt a toothache from hearing this.This Yao family is turning black and white, and the villain is getting more and more adept at using the trick of suing first. It's a shame that people can't easily refute her just because she took advantage of her elders.

Fortunately, old man Luo still turned to Luo Baisu: "At the time when the family was separated, I couldn't stand it, and presided over the division; when the family was separated, the eldest family only distributed stone grain, not even a penny, and the whole village Everyone can testify that the boss and his family get up early and work late, earn a little money, and have not forgotten you. Every New Year’s Day, what delicious food is made at home, and you are missing. You and I are both half-bodied The person who is going to be buried in the ground should be conscientious in what he says and does, how can the boss be unfilial to you? If you were not partial and mean to the boss, how could I agree to split the family?"
