Juan Wang's Little Lady: Nongmen hunters work hard to plow the fields

Chapter 99
When Su Lian saw Chen Dingchuan, she knew in her heart that today's matter was not easy.

She forced herself to be calm, and gave a little blessing: "So it's brother-in-law. Today is the opening day, why did brother-in-law come?"

Chen Dingchuan looked sideways at Su Lian and snorted coldly.She didn't know that she was about to face a catastrophe. After today's trial, she, Su Lian, would have no place in the world.He released the wind in advance and called the people to watch, just to ruin her reputation.

The female lawyer was sued on the spot by Master Xiucai, and the magistrate sentenced her to lose the lawsuit and pay 500 taels of silver.He wants to see where she can get 500 taels to compensate? !
If she can't pay, she will come to beg him to spare her life.At that time, wouldn't he be allowed to get whatever he wants?
Chen Dingchuan thought about it, and a lewd smile appeared on his face.

Su Lian didn't know what he was laughing at, but felt that the hairs all over her body stood on end.

It was no coincidence that her bitch brother-in-law appeared here.It is very possible that he already knew in advance that she was going to sue on behalf of someone else, and came here to intercept her.

If he came prepared, he must have known the ins and outs of the matter, and even read her pleadings. In the worst case, he might have bribed the judge.

In Su Lian's mind, she was still rapidly calculating several possible situations that might happen next, when suddenly she heard the servants in the hall beating the killing sticks in unison, shouting "Evil Wu" and "No Evil", and the chattering people outside fell silent .

The magistrate opened the curtain and walked in, walked slowly to the lobby and sat down behind the table, slapped the gavel, and shouted "Ascension".

There are three cases to be tried today, and the first one is Su Lian's case.

Su Lian and Xiao Jiu were first in line, waiting for the master to summon them.But I heard Zong Pu preaching in a calm voice: "Today's first case, Wang Laiba of Luoyi Lane in Qinghe County sued Zhang Su's family of Zhangjia Village and Yang Xiaojiu of Xibu Lane in Qingyang County!"

Su Lian was taken aback, aren't she and Xiao Jiu the plaintiffs?How did you become a defendant?
Seeing Wang Laiba coming to the hall again, he exchanged glances with Chen Dingchuan, and Chen Dingchuan glanced at the county magistrate sitting high in the hall.

Su Lian understood eighty-nine points in his heart.It must be that Chen Dingchuan got the news that she was going to sue Wang Laiba and deliberately disrupted the situation.Judging from the eye contact of several of them, it is very likely that Zhixian was also dragged into the water.

What brother Jianshan said was indeed correct, the yamen opened to the south, so don't come in if you have a reason and no money.

When Xiao Jiu heard that he was the defendant, he stepped forward and said urgently: "My lord, I made a mistake! The younger one is suing Wang Laiba! Not Wang Laiba is suing the younger!"

The magistrate slapped the gavel in the hall, and the magistrate half-closed his eyes, and said leisurely: "Bold and unreasonable, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

Xiao Jiu suddenly heard the sound of the gavel, her knees softened and she knelt down.

Su Lian did not kneel.If you kneel down, the momentum of the debate in the hall will be lowered by half later, and Su Lian will not do this kind of quarreling and losing money.

The magistrate opened his narrowed eyes a little, and seeing the beautiful woman in a fine attire standing in the hall, he asked in an official tone, "Mr. Zhang Su, why don't you kneel down?"

Su Lian gave Shi Ran a blessing, and said softly: "Master Wan Qingliu from Qinghe County loves and cares for the villagers. Everyone says that Mr. Wan Qingliu from Qinghe County is alive and Bao Qingtian. There is indeed a reason for women not to kneel today."

The magistrate first had a drink of the sycophantic soup poured by the little beauty, and then saw her bowing her head and holding her heart, I felt pity for her.I heard that the father of this Su family is Su Qinming, a Juren in Qinghe County, and also a lady of a scholar's family. I didn't expect to be so beautiful.His father had given her to be his concubine instead of letting her marry a hunter in the mountains.However, he didn't know that there was such a stunner in the Su family at the time.

"Well, why can't my little lady kneel?" the county magistrate asked in an official tone.

Su Lian pretended to be pitiful, and said softly: "The woman is pregnant, and the fetal image is unstable. The doctor said that she can't kneel. If she kneels for a long time, I'm afraid the yamen will be polluted. I hope the Lord Qingtian will allow the people The woman stood up and answered."

Daqi law stipulates that pregnant women are not only exempted from kneeling, but also have to watch their seats during trial.The county magistrate took a few glances at the little lady, she was wearing a loose undershirt, it was hard to tell if she was pregnant or not.Anyway, for the sake of her beautiful appearance and the fact that her father is a clean stream in the city, so what if she was asked to sit and talk?He still couldn't bear to think that she would be sentenced to pay 500 taels of silver later.

The county magistrate wanted to show that he cared for the people in front of the people, so he said to the yamen servant: "The defendant is pregnant, please sit down."

When the people watching outside heard that the little lady was pregnant and came to file a lawsuit, they started whispering among themselves.

In the crowd, Zhang Jianshan stood on the third floor outside wearing a bamboo hat and holding little Aji in his arms.Aji leaned into his father's ear and asked, "Daddy, is there a baby in sister's womb?"

"Hmm." Zhang Jianshan answered ambiguously, lowered his bamboo hat, and couldn't help secretly laughing.

When Chen Dingchuan heard that Su Lian was pregnant and could not kneel, his teeth itch with hatred.Seeing Su Lianshi sitting down, Rou Yi gently put her little hands on her knees, as if she was at her own home, but she didn't panic at all.

Chen Dingchuan took a step forward, came to the lobby case, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, today is the trial of Yang Xiaojiu's theft of sweet-scented osmanthus soap. Please allow me to make a statement."

Back to business.Zhixian put away his thoughts of looking at the beautiful woman and nodded.

Chen Dingchuan said: "I am Chen Dingchuan, a talented scholar in the 15th year of Yongzheng, on behalf of Wang Laiba of Suoyi Lane, sued Yang Xiaojiu for stealing his sweet-scented osmanthus soap and earning 500 taels of silver."

Chen Dingchuan turned black and white, and stated that osmanthus soap was the secret recipe handed down from the Wang family, and that osmanthus soap was also made by Wang Laiba.Yang Xiaojiu and Wang Laiba are both shopkeepers. When Xiaojiu learned that the Wang family had such a batch of good goods, she stole them and sold them for 500 taels of silver.

Xiao Jiu heard that Chen Dingchuan was so upside down, and shouted for grievances in the hall.The magistrate slapped the gavel again and sang a double reed with Chen Dingchuan.

"You said they stole Wang Laiba's sweet-scented osmanthus soap, but do you have evidence?" asked the county magistrate.

Chen Dingchuan took out a 500 tael bank note from his sleeve, presented it to the county magistrate, and said, "This is the 500 tael that Yang Xiaojiu got from selling osmanthus soap that day. He immediately exchanged it for the silver note. There is a silver note Here, don't even think about denying it!"

Xiao Jiu burst into tears, Su Lian sat on a chair, watching Chen Dingchuan and Zhixian acting back and forth, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

Can the previously prepared routine still be used?
Chen Dingchuan turned his head and gave Su Lian a vicious look, then sneered, he must avenge his broken arm today!

Su Lian raised her hand and yawned after being stared at by him.

Seeing the female lawyer's calm expression, the county magistrate asked, "Ms. Zhang Su, do you have anything to say?"

Su Lian stood up, gave Shi Shiran a blessing, and said: "Lord Qingtian, the woman has nothing to say, but the woman has a witness who wants to speak."

"Witness? Come up, please."

Su Lian took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve, put it lightly on Zong Pu's desk, pointed to the silver and asked, "Going to court today, there is Lord Qingtian here, so don't you try to hide it! Tell me quickly! You Whose money is it?!"

The common people standing outside burst out laughing when they saw that the female lawyer was actually interrogating Yinzi.

"Is this female lawyer insane? Why are you interrogating Yin Zi?"

"It's the first time I've seen Yin Zi tell the truth."

Facing this charming and angry little lady so close, Zong Pu's face turned slightly hot - what is she going to do?
The people outside the yamen burst into laughter, and the commotion was unbearable. The county magistrate patted the gavel several times, and shouted: "Silence! Silence!"

Only then did the people slowly calm down.

The magistrate asked: "Ms. Zhang Su, how dare you laugh at the court? Are you not afraid of being punished?"

Su Lian said respectfully and unhurriedly: "Lord Qingtian, the woman just gave a demonstration. You saw it just now, the silver can't speak, and the bank note can't speak, how do you know the difference between the silver and the bank note?" Whose family is it? So the 500 taels of silver note just now is not evidence."

"Well, it makes sense." The county magistrate himself felt that using 500 taels of silver bills as evidence was too childish, so he asked Chen Dingchuan again: "Do you have any other evidence?"

"Of course, my lord, the evidence is overwhelming!"
