Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 694 Trial

  Humanity watching the excitement: "I don't know."

  Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help turning his head to look at him, "...I don't know what you're watching?"

  The other party didn't recognize Zhao Hanzhang, and said as it should: "They were crying when I came, and I missed the time when they spoke, and they have been crying until now. How do I know who they are?"

  Zhao Hanzhang looked him up and down, and said to him, "A big man with healthy limbs and a strong body. When he is in good times, he doesn't work, so he comes to the county government office to watch the excitement?"

  The other party was not convinced, and also said to him, "What about men and women now, don't girls also have healthy limbs and strong bodies? Why don't they go to work and come to watch the fun?"

  Zhao Hanzhang was choked and said: "I first came to Guibaodi, and I came to understand Luoyang."

When the other party heard this, his complexion immediately improved, and he said with a smile to Zhao Hanzhang: "That girl is right, our envoy is a woman, so the status of women in Luoyang City is quite high, if you have the ability, you can go to the Yamen to recommend yourself as a female official .”

  Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang was tall, with a pine-like figure, and only half of his face exposed was as white as jade, the young man was swayed, so he defended himself and said: "I didn't come to watch the fun for nothing."

   "Oh?" Zhao Hanzhang looked at him curiously.

  He immediately said: "I'm here to see what rare things happen, and I can make money when I go to restaurants and restaurants to learn."

  Zhao Hanzhang was surprised: "Is there such a way to make money?"

"Of course there are. Some storytellers can't come to see the excitement in time, and the news is very slow. At this time, those like me who are the first to see the excitement and can recount it in full are very popular. The storytellers are very willing to accept from us. buy news."

  So it turns out that information trading has existed so early?

  Zhao Hanzhang pointed to the people in this circle and asked: "Are they all here to watch the fun?"

   "That's not it, half of the fun is to watch, and the rest is to complain."

  Zhao Hanzhang's heart turned cold. There are so few people in her Luoyang City now, so many people come to complain in one day?

  She hasn't been negligent in her administration during this period of time, why doesn't she know that Luoyang has changed so much?

   "The case has been accumulated for half a decade, and today there are people crying at the door again. The county magistrate Zhao is busy."

  Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, "This is a case that has been accumulated for half a decade."

"yes."

   "Why doesn't the county magistrate deal with it every day, but accumulate it?"

"In addition to urgent cases, major cases, and important cases, such small cases naturally have to be accumulated and dealt with," the young man agreed with Zhao Kuan's handling method, saying: "Otherwise, these trivial matters are dealt with every day. The county magistrate and county lieutenant Can't be too busy?"

  While whispering, Zhao Kuan, who had been dealing with official documents with his head down, put down his pen, took all the cases on the left hand side, picked up the gavel with his right hand, and patted the people inside and outside the county government office.

   Even the voice of the person who had been sitting on the ground and crying couldn't help but become a little quieter.

  Zhao Kuan said to the people on the ground with a solemn face: "Ms. Chen, wait until I finish dealing with the accumulated cases before speaking to you. Come here, pour water for everyone in the Chen family, and ask them to sit down at the table and wait."

The yamen servant responded, and took out two mats from a room, spread them out in the yard of the county yamen, brought seven or eight bowls, and poured water for them with a teapot, "I have been crying all morning, drink water to moisten them." Run your throat."

  The Chen family was a scholar, took the tea bowl with both hands, drank the water, then lowered his head to wipe away his tears carefully, got up from the ground and sat on the mat, waiting for Zhao Kuan to deal with other cases, and had no intention of jumping in line.

  The crowd who had been watching the excitement looked away. Zhao Kuan gave another startling shot and asked, "Are Qiao Dacheng from Anyuan Village and Zhou Ji from Xiangdong Village here?"

   "Yes, yes," two groups of people immediately squeezed out of the crowd, three people on each side, two men and one woman, both sides snorted heavily when they walked into the yard and saw each other.

  On the left is an elderly couple with a wounded young man. On the right is a father with a pair of children. The daughter has been dressed as a woman, and is walking in with her father and brother while crying.

   When they arrived in the courtroom, both sides knelt down clearly.

  Zhao Kuan glanced at their pleadings and their respective appeals, then raised his eyes to the person kneeling in the hall, and asked, "Qiao Dacheng, you are the plaintiff, you should speak first."

  The young brother on the right responded loudly, and was about to speak, but the Zhou family on the left was not happy, and shouted: "Master, we are the ones who suffer, we should speak first."

  Zhao Kuan slapped the gavel and shouted: "What are you arguing about? Whoever is asked to speak in this county will speak first. If you are not convinced, go down first to get the board and then come up to talk to me."

  The Zhou family immediately stopped making trouble.

Qiao Dacheng glanced at the Zhou family proudly, and then said, "Mr. County, Qiao Dacheng, a grassroots, this is my younger sister Qiaoniang. She married Zhou Ji two years ago. The marriage between the two families is a good marriage of two surnames." , but the Zhou family didn't treat my sister kindly, instead they always bullied her."

Qiao Dacheng began to list the examples of the Zhou family bullying Qiao Qiaoniang. For example, she was asked to go out to carry water alone in the winter. In the beginning of spring, Luoyang was in chaos, and their village was also affected. Many people wanted to escape from Luoyang, and the Zhou family also packed their bags and fled. but Qiao Qiaoniang was left behind.

Qiao Dacheng said: "They were afraid that Qiaoniang would divide their food, so in the middle of the night, while Qiaoniang was asleep, they carried their bags and ran away. Fortunately, the two villages are not far away. When we escaped, our family made a detour to Xiangdong Village. , so I took my sister with me, otherwise she would be the only girl left in the whole village, and she would be fed to wolves even if she didn’t starve to death.”

"But because it's not easy for two families to get married, as the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage. After I am moved back by the envoy, I will let Qiao Niang go back to Zhou's house and continue to live with Zhou Ji. Who knows that Zhou Ji was a beast." Qiao Dacheng said: "The autumn harvest is busy, and after the autumn harvest, the autumn sows again. My sister has lost a lot of weight because of this, and he even beat people, so I ask the county lord to sentence the two families to divorce. From then on, marriage between men and women is irrelevant. .”

  Zhao Kuan asked the Zhou family, "Is what Qiao Dacheng said true?"

   "No, no," Zhou's mother hurriedly said, "Is this all slander?"

  Zhao Kuan asked: "Okay, let me ask you, did you let Qiao Qiaoniang go out to fetch water alone in winter?"

   Zhou's mother said: "Mr. Huixian, many women in our village have to do housework, cook and carry water."

"Cooking is true, women carry water, only those who don't have a man at home, or who abuse the girls at home will let women go out to carry water alone in winter, right?" The young man standing next to Zhao Hanzhang said to Zhao Hanzhang: "This case The judgment is whether the county magistrate understands the people's livelihood, if the county magistrate does not know the real situation of the people, I am afraid that he will really believe what this woman says."

  Zhao Kuan glanced at her lightly and asked, "At that time, Zhou Ji was crippled and injured? He used a woman to carry water? Let me ask you again, did your family take Qiao Qiaoniang with you when you fled?"

"We wanted to take it with us. We had already called her, but she couldn't wake up. It was our fault for not paying attention. We were in a hurry and thought she had already followed. Who knew she had been sleeping soundly, and there was such a big commotion outside. can not hear."

   "Fart, it's clear that you gave her tranquilizing medicine, and lied to her that it's a medicine for regulating the body and prolonging children. After taking it, she fell into a deep sleep."

   "This is just your side story."

  Zhao Kuan patted the gavel and asked, "What about the wife beating?"

  As soon as beating was mentioned, Mother Zhou became excited instantly, pointing at Qiao Dacheng and yelling: "The county lord must decide for us, my son also told him to beat him, and the beating was so severe that his legs were limping."

  The young man kneeling aside still had some injuries on his face, and he was also aggrieved, staring at Qiao Dacheng and Qiao Qiaoniang fiercely.

  Father Qiao sighed, and said to Zhao Kuan: "Mr. County, my son-in-law's leg was indeed injured by my son. Please forgive him on the Internet for his first offence."

  Zhao Kuan's eyes fell on Zhou Ji's leg and asked, "Is the leg injured seriously?"

   Zhou's mother immediately said: "It's serious..."

   "Shut up!" Zhao Kuan slapped the gavel and said, "I didn't ask you this question, but Zhou Ji, Zhou Ji, if you answer this county, how serious is your leg injury?"

  Zhou Ji nodded immediately, "It's very serious, the doctor said, even if you take care of it well, I'm afraid there will be problems in the future."

   Seeing resentment on his face, Zhao Kuan asked, "Then what is your appeal?"

   Zhou Ji didn't even think about it, so he pointed at Qiao Dacheng and said, "I want him to go to jail, or break his leg too."

  Zhao Kuan understood, and he said: "The state owns the state law. If he broke the law, he will be punished according to the law. How can you satisfy you with evil and violence?"

  Zhao Kuan said: "He beat you, I will judge him later, what do you say about the reconciliation and divorce mentioned by the Qiao family?"

  Zhou Ji said: "I don't want to reconcile, I want Mrs. Qiao to serve me all the time, if her brother hurts me, she will have to serve me forever!"

  Qiao Dacheng blushed with anger, pointed at him and shouted angrily, "Don't even think about it!"

  Zhao Kuan slapped the gavel and said, "What's the proper way to make noise in the courtroom?"

   After the quarrel stopped, Zhao Kuan looked at Qiao Qiaoniang who kept wiping away tears, and asked, "Qiao Qiaoniang, would you like to make peace with Zhou Ji?"

  Qiao Qiaoniang glanced at her elder brother first, then bit her lip and asked: "Mr. County, if I don't get along with you and take care of your husband with all my heart, can my brother be punished lightly for beating your husband?"

   "Qiao Niang!"

  Zhao Kuan said lightly: "No!"

   "Besides, I already know how to judge the county. I just want to ask you what you mean by asking this question."

  When Qiao Qiaoniang heard this, tears fell down her cheeks. She hugged Qiao Dacheng and burst into tears, then turned her head and said to Zhao Kuan: "Mr. County, I don't want to leave. I want to stay at Zhou's house."

  She said to Zhou Ji: "Master, please don't sue my elder brother, okay, I will definitely serve you well in the future."

   "You're dreaming! I broke a leg!"

   Zhao Kuan slapped the gavel and said, "It's not up to the two of you to decide whether to reconcile or not, and the county hasn't decided yet."

He said sternly: "Qiao Dacheng hurt Zhou Ji, and the Qiao and Zhou families have become enemies. According to the law, Zhou Ji and Qiao Qiaoniang are sentenced to reconcile and divorce. From now on, marriage between men and women is irrelevant. Wang Wenshu will write them a divorce letter. "

  Wang Siniang, who was seated at the lower left, bowed slightly in response, and immediately began to write and leave books for them.

  The Zhou family was stunned, unable to understand, and shouted: "Mr. County, our Zhou family does not want to get married, and neither does Qiao's. Why should we be reconciled?"

   "Why?" Zhao Kuan snorted and said, "Didn't I tell you just now that your two families are already enemies and cannot get married anymore!"

The Zhou family did not accept the verdict, so Wang Siniang wrote the letter of reconciliation for them in a few strokes, and said, "Aren't you stupid? Marriage is not just a couple, it's better to have two surnames. Since the two families have become enemies, and you will become a bitter couple in the future, then there is no need for this marriage to exist, so it is natural to reconcile and divorce."

"The "Law Book" clearly stipulates that if someone in the husband's family hurts the wife's family, or if the wife's family hurts the husband's parents, brothers, etc., or if there is a feud between the two families, the two families must reconcile and separate." Wang Siniang's eyes Sweeping over Zhou Ji, said: "Zhou Ji resents his uncle, resents Qiao, and the reason for Qiao's discord is only to mitigate the crimes for his brother. There is no need to continue this marriage. You sign the divorce agreement and divorce each other. go."

  So Romeo and Juliet can’t even get a marriage certificate in this Dajin, because the two families are feuds, and the county government wants to prevent them from being together.

The big brother standing next to Zhao Hanzhang is obviously also literate, and quietly said to Zhao Hanzhang: "This is actually stipulated by the "Qin Law". The "Han Law" and "Jin Law" did not pay much attention to this matter before. If the man does not I would like to reconcile and divorce, most of this marriage cannot be divorced, but now our envoy is Zhao Hanzhang, and she is a girl. Although this law still uses the "Jin Law", it is quite biased towards women. Dare to judge like this."

  Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Isn't it good to break it like this?"

   "It's not bad, it's just a good marriage, it's a pity."

  Zhao Hanzhang: "... Is this marriage good?"

  The young man paused, thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "That's right, it's really not good, it's broken, but the Zhou family lacks an outlet, so I'm afraid they won't let the Qiao family go."

   Sure enough, Zhou Ji was forced to sign and leave the agreement, and Zhao Kuan helped them clear up the property dispute between husband and wife by the way, and then the Zhou family would sue Qiao Dacheng for hurting others.

  Zhao Kuan didn't ask any more questions, and directly sentenced the Qiao family to compensate the Zhou family for medical expenses. The amount was not too much, and it happened to be the property that Qiao Qiaoniang could get from the Zhou family.

  The three members of the Zhou family were dumbfounded, "That's it?"

Zhao Kuan raised his eyes and glanced at them, then said: "Naturally more than that, according to the law, Qiao Dacheng will play ten boards, and give you half a month to recuperate from your injuries. After half a month, you will serve for three months, and you will be there every day. The county government came to report, do you have any objections?"

  Qiao Dacheng had no objection and agreed loudly.

  The Zhou family is still not angry, and serving in the military is not like before.

In the past, serving in the military service, not to mention three months, may kill people in a month, but now the government is very strict, they will not be beaten and labored, and they will not be allowed to work day and night. Although the service is hard, it is similar to Zhou Ji who broke a leg Than, it's really not worth mentioning.

   Zhou's mother said: "Mr. County, why do you need to give him time to recuperate from his injuries? He should be sent to serve immediately after the board."

  Zhao Kuan sighed and said, "Didn't your Zhou family show any remorse until now? Haven't you thought about why the situation has come to this point?"

He said: "Now Zhou Ji has injured a leg and lost a daughter-in-law, and Qiao's family is full of scars. The Qiao family has to pay money and labor. It is clearly a situation where both sides suffer. You haven't thought about it. Is it the reason for the situation?"

"I think, from now on, not only the reputation of the Qiao family will be damaged, but also the reputation of your Zhou family will be damaged even more. If you abuse your daughter-in-law so much, who will be willing to marry into the Zhou family in the future? Even the entire Zhou family may be affected. Well, if the three of you in your family can't see the reason and don't know how to repent, then it will be like this in the future."

   Mother Zhou's face was flushed red, she couldn't help but look back, and sure enough, she saw people around the door pointing at them.

  She was ashamed and annoyed for a moment, and it hurt to hold her heart.

  Zhao Kuan also took advantage of the trend and asked them to be taken out, and replaced them.

See you tomorrow
