The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 107 Rampant (Part [-])
"Is this woman really? You can't show your ugliness to the outside world. She's suing her own husband. She can't make it through this day."

"That's right! For the first time in history, my wife told my husband that I don't know how the county magistrate will try this case."

"How else can there be an interrogation? Let's talk to each other! Call the two of them together and talk, and it's over! Can you still arrest this gentleman?"

"This Hong family is too ignorant! How can her man meet people after this!"

Qi Yaoyao understood that this was a domestic violence case, looking at Shen Zhouheng with her dark eyes like ink, wondering how he would try this case.

From the words of the onlookers, one can hear their tendency, and even accuse the wife of something wrong.

Qi Yaoyao felt that the case could not be tried, even if it was difficult for the family to get divorced due to violence in later generations, let alone the ancient times when the husband was the guide for the wife.

Now that I'm here, I looked around the lobby and listened to how the magistrate judged the case.

In the lobby, the screen in the middle is painted with a picture of mountains and rivers facing the sun. The mountains are upright, the water is clear, and the sun and the moon are clean and upright. This is similar to the plaques and mirrors hanging above the palace pavilions.

It means to tell the people that Benzhi County handles cases fairly and cleanly.

Officials do not fear my rigor, but my integrity; the people do not obey my ability, but my lord;

Publicity means that the people dare not be slow, and honesty means that officials dare not bully.

This is exactly the character and bearing that a magistrate should have.

The place about one foot above the ground in front of the screen is called "tai", and the space surrounded by four pillars on the platform is called "official pavilion". Usually, a stove is placed under the case on the stage to keep the magistrate warm, so the official pavilion is also called the warm pavilion.

The weather is getting warmer, so there's no need for a stove in this case.

On the case are placed the Four Treasures of the Study, the Requisition Stick, Gavel Wood and other promotional items.

There is a wooden frame next to the case, on which the official seal and letter of appointment are placed.

There are 36 pictures of cranes facing the sun on the roof of the official pavilion, which symbolizes the unity of imperial power and the unity of the four seas.

"Crack..." The gavel sounded, and the water and fire sticks in the hands of the two yamen servants touched the ground, and they shouted, "Mighty..."

Immediately, the inside and outside of the hall became quiet. Once Qi Yaoyao regained consciousness, there were already many people standing at the door, all of whom came to hear the trial.

"Who is kneeling in the hall? Report your name, why are you beating the drums?" Shen Zhou looked at the people in the hall with a stern face and said in a deep voice.

"The woman Hong Yingniang, sue the minister of the woman..."

Before Hong could finish speaking, Wu Youde, who was standing not far from her, said sharply, "Hong, you must think clearly about what you say, there is no room for redemption if you say something."

Shen Zhouheng picked up the gavel and put it down heavily, with a "pop...", Wu Youde was startled suddenly.

"The suspect contemptuous of the court, you can be convicted!" Shen Zhouheng looked at Wu Youde coldly and said.

The new county magistrate doesn't know himself, but Qiao Dayong introduced his situation to him just now, so it's true!
"Next, Wu Youde, Hong's husband." Wu Youde said while standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Shen Zhouheng.

"Why didn't Wu Youde kneel when he saw me?" Shen Zhouheng said while staring at him with dark eyes.

Wu Youde smiled sarcastically, "My father is a well-known military officer in the city."

"I'm here to ask you, do you have a reputation." Shen Zhou looked him up and down with horizontal eyes.

Wu Youde squeezed out two words from between his teeth angrily, "No!"

"Is there any family shadow?" Shen Zhouheng looked at him with cold eyes and asked again.

"No." Wu Youde said with some embarrassment.

"Then why didn't you kneel when you saw me!" Shen Zhou said, looking at him with a dark face, then looked at the guards on the left and right and said, "Press him to kneel!"

"Yes!" The left and right yamen servants clapped their hands in salute.

"Wait a minute, wait a moment." An old voice came from outside the yamen.

Qi Yaoyao turned her head and saw an old man dressed outside the staff and a woman wearing gold and silver came in in a panic.

"The husband and wife outside the military are here, and this case is getting more and more interesting."

"This will definitely not go on trial."

Through the introduction of the observers, Qi Yaoyao knew that this was Wu Youde's parents.

The military officer bowed his hands and gave his name, and then said, "Master Shen, the young couple are ignorant, and the noise between the husband and wife has disturbed Master Shen." He thumped his son's back and said, "Bastard, this is Where did you drink too much?" He smiled and said, "I'll talk to them when I go back." Pulling Wu Youde, he said, "Don't let me go home."

On the other hand, Mrs. Wu slightly bent down to look at Hong who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Hong Shi, go home when you've had enough trouble, and make a fuss in the lobby about this matter, so how can Youde see people in the future."

"Mother-in-law!" Hong raised his bruised and swollen face and looked at Mrs. Wu and said, "My husband asked me to play the piano and sing for his cronies."

"Oh..." The judge made a long and obscene voice.

"Then Hong, have you followed?"

"Then I definitely didn't follow! If I did, why would I be beaten like this!"

"I can't follow it. Playing the piano and singing are only for the girls in the Goulan courtyard."

"Follow it! Maybe you'll pay off your family's gambling debts."

"Hey...hehe..."

"Shut up, you motherfuckers." Wu Youde turned his head flushed and shouted at the people watching the trial.

"What the Hong family said must be true, this is out of embarrassment."

"It's all about you!" Wu Youde raised his leg and kicked Hong Shi.

This can also allow my son to beat someone in the court!
Shocked by the fright, Hong shivered and crawled a few steps away from Wu Youde.

The old couple of soldiers and foreigners pulled Wu Youde with quick eyes and hands, which was too rampant in the court.

"Father, let me go, I'm going to fight today..."

Before Wu Youde finished speaking, his mouth was covered by the military officer. This stupid son dared to speak nonsense without even looking at where it was.

Qi Yaoyao also saw clearly what this Wu Youde was like, her face was ferocious, like an evil ghost.

Now black and blue, it looks like excessive indulgence, a rotten person.

"Drink some horse urine and talk nonsense." The military man stared at Wu Youde and said in a low voice, winking at him desperately.

You are really a demon king, please be quiet, see that this is the lobby, not the main room of our house.

Shen Zhou slapped the gavel, and said in a deep voice, "Who is making noise in the courtroom! Talk again, and throw them out."

"Mighty..." the guards shouted in a low voice.

The observers didn't dare to speak out any more, and kept their mouths shut.

Qi Yaoyao glanced at those men, they were so wretched from ancient times to the present, disgusting and disgusting!

Hong waved her hands in fear and said, "I absolutely dare not obey, this is against women's morals!"

The real reason is that Xianggong lost in playing with money and wanted her to pay off the debt.

Over the years, she gave her husband all her dowry to pay off her gambling debts.

She dared not let her father-in-law and mother-in-law know about this.
