Cute little peasant girl: Love me through the family group!

Chapter 42 The Magistrate Hu makes the case

Magistrate Hu looked at everyone in the hall with a headache. One was the younger brother of his immediate boss's favorite concubine, and the youngest son of Jin Wancai, a businessman whose business spread all over Lizhou; the other was the prodigal son who was chosen by Xiangrui.

One is that it is not easy to offend, and the other is that it is not easy to deal with it at the critical moment of sending auspiciousness.

Magistrate Hu glared at the yamen on both sides with a stern face, what are these people doing to eat!To actually let things come to him, isn't this intentional to make it difficult for him!

The magistrate Hu sighed secretly, feeling quite helpless in his heart, and even the joy of presenting auspiciousness was reduced by half, and he said to the court in a businesslike manner: "Who is the court? What are you suing?"

Jin Ziliang smiled at the magistrate Hu and said, "Master Hu, I am Jin Ziliang! I want to sue, I will sue this person..." At this point, he remembered that he didn't know the name of the countryman he wanted to sue. , turned around and asked the shopkeeper, "Huh? What's his name?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly replied, "Bai Yaolang."

Jin Ziliang: "Yes! I sue Bai Yaolang for not repaying the debt. Please Lord Hu decide for me."

Magistrate Hu nodded lightly and said, "Is there a complaint?"

complaint?He, Jin Ziliang, is the brother-in-law of Lizhou's prefect, so he still needs a petition to file a complaint with the magistrate of a small Dongcheng County?
Jin Ziliang looked at Magistrate Hu resentfully, and seeing that Magistrate Hu had no inclination to let go, he said angrily, "I haven't had time to write the letter. If Mr. Hu wants it, I'll have someone write it right away!"

The county magistrate stunned and said, "Let's be presumptuous! The law stipulates that you must file a complaint before you come to the yamen. No complaint will be accepted. Retire!"

Jin Ziliang hurriedly said: "Master Hu, wait, there will be a petition soon. There will be soon!" After speaking, he shouted to the crowd watching the excitement: "Who will write a complaint? Write it to me on the spot, Ten taels of silver!"

Ten taels of silver? !For the arrears of 26 taels, he was willing to pay [-] taels to write a complaint. Could it be that this Jin Gongzi has so much money that he has become stupid.

It only takes [-] yuan to ask a poor scholar from Qiaotou to help write a petition, but for this young master Jin, you can get [-] taels of silver, a hundred times the price!Fools don't make money!Even the defendant Bai Zhiqing wanted to make this money, but he was powerless.

Such a heavy reward made the literate people present break their heads, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

The magistrate Hu slapped the jingtang again: "Nonsense! Hurry up and leave!"

Jin Ziliang was not at all timid, and said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Hu, you should wait. After I finish writing the complaint, you still have to open the court again. That's a lot of trouble."

Magistrate Hu glanced at Jin Ziliang displeased, if it weren't for the fact that he gave him a lot of filial silver every year, and the prefect of Lizhou was very fond of his sister's sake, hehe.

In the end, Magistrate Hu sat down in the hall and waited for Jin Ziliang to have someone write the form.

Money can make a ghost run the mill, and with ten taels of silver, Jin Ziliang got the complaint in a very short time and presented it to the county magistrate Hu.

The magistrate Hu glanced at the complaint and asked Bai Zhiqing, "Is it Bai Yaolang?"

Bai Zhiqing replied with a signature smile on his face, "Exactly."

Magistrate Hu felt that the smile on this man's face was really annoying, and shouted, "What are you laughing at, this is a court, be serious!"

Bai Zhiqing was speechless, this county magistrate was really a zerg, and Jin Ziliang didn't scold him with a smile on his face in the hall, but he couldn't just tick the corner of his lips.

Ah.

Seeing that the beating smile disappeared from Bai Zhiqing's face, County Magistrate Hu continued to ask in satisfaction: "The owner of Jinwu Casino sued you for not paying back 26 taels of silver to the casino with interest. Is there such a thing?"

Bai Zhiqing narrowed his eyes slightly. From the morning when the magistrate Hu came to his house to welcome Xiangrui, he could see that this man valued Xiangrui very much, and was keen to listen to the prodigal son's return. To him, he replied:

"Master Hu, I did owe the gambling debt to the Golden House Casino, but I didn't say that I would not repay it. I used to live a turbulent life, which made my family poor, and I really didn't have enough silver taels to repay the debt. But after being awakened by auspiciousness, I I know that life is a mess in the past, and I will work hard to make money and pay off my debts as soon as possible.”

As soon as the voice fell, she saw the magistrate Hu nodded again and again: This is the proof that the prodigal son will return the money, and the auspicious auspiciousness will appear.

Jin Ziliang was dissatisfied when he saw Hu County Magistrate nodding, and pointed at Liu Shiyu who was beside him and shouted: "Master Hu, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. Look at the cloth in his wife's and children's arms, it's obviously he just bought it. Yes. This is the evidence that he has money but refuses to repay the debt!"

At this time, the shopkeeper of the casino on the side took out the IOU he had just sent to the account of the casino, and handed it to the clerk on the side, adding: "Master Hu, this is the IOU from Bai Yaolang. It has his handprint on it. "

Hu county magistrate asked the yamen to present the IOU, glanced at it, already knew it, looked at Bai Zhiqing and asked, "Bai Yaolang, Jin Ziliang accuses you of being rich but unwilling to repay the debt, is there such a thing?"

Bai Zhiqing explained: "Master Hu, I do have some silver taels in my hand, but these silver taels are not enough to pay off all the debts. As the head of the family, I can't let the whole family follow me without eating or drinking, right? Just buying some necessities, not spending money lavishly."

The magistrate Hu nodded again and again after hearing this, the prodigal son was a good man who took care of his family.Why!Pity!He had already finished writing the book, and sent it to Beijing with Xiangrui, otherwise this is a good material that can be written in the book to make the emperor happy.

Jin Ziliang didn't do it, "Master Hu, I don't care about his nonsense reasons. If you owe your debts, you have to repay the money, or if you don't, you will have to go to jail!"

The county magistrate was shocked, looked at Jin Ziliang dissatisfied, and said, "Jin Ziliang, is this case decided by you or by this official? Is the judgment based on the "Daqing Law" or according to your random judgment by Jin Ziliang !"

Although Jin Ziliang is a little arrogant, he is not stupid. He heard that the magistrate Hu was a little angry, and even gave him a big hat that exceeded the law. He did not dare to wear this hat. Wearing it would be like rebelling what.

Jin Ziliang hurriedly said, "Of course I listened to Master Hu."

The magistrate Hu glared at him and said, "What do you mean by listening to me? You are listening to the "Daqing Law". It is clearly written in the "Daqing Law". Those who owe private debts and do not repay their personal debts will be punished for one month or more. , [-], plus one grade every month, and the crime is stopped and [-]."

Speaking of which, the magistrate Hu shook the IOU signed by Bai Yaolang and said, "This IOU is clearly written, yesterday was the due date for Bai Yaolang's repayment, and now it has only been a day, and it is far from one day. Within a month, you cannot be sentenced to prison. This officer ordered Bai Yaolang to pay off the taels of silver owed within one month, or else he will be given ten whips at that time. Can you both serve?"

Of course Bai Zhiqing agreed. This is equivalent to the fact that the magistrate Hu helped him win a one-month grace period, and said hurriedly: "Master Hu is very careful. I will definitely live up to Master Hu's expectations and will pay back the debt within a month."

The Magistrate Hu nodded in satisfaction, then tilted his head to look at Jin Ziliang to see if he would accept it.
