Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Chapter 276
No matter how much Zhang Pei complained, his face was still calm, he slapped the gavel, and the officials on both sides also stood at attention solemnly.

At this moment, there was the majesty and solemnity that the Yamen should have.

Ye Xiuwen and the others just stood quietly watching Zhang Pei's decision.

Liu'er and the Zhou family all knelt down. Of course, Yin Tao stood motionless beside Ye Xiuwen. Mr. Zhang glanced at it a few times, and finally put aside this question and started the interrogation.

Zhang Pei sternly asked: "Who is there to sue? Do you have a pleading? Who do you sue?"

The father and son of Zhou's family, who were wearing filial piety, knelt on the ground trembling and speechless.

Behind them stood a litigator holding a folding fan. He slowly took out a folded pleading paper from his sleeve and handed it to the yamen servant.

"My lord, the villain's surname is Tian, ​​and he is the lawyer of Zhou's father and son." He cupped his hands at the top, and looked at Zhou's father and son with compassion, and said sincerely: "They have been honest country people all their lives, and they don't know what to do when they are bullied. To avenge myself, the villain really can't see some people bullying others, so he took the initiative to ask to defend the Zhou family."

Zhang Pei took the pleading paper handed over by his subordinates, the handwriting was excellent, and the case was also written very clearly.

After reading it carefully, he said to Tian Lianshi: "Tian Lianshi, tell the whole story of the case and let the defendant hear whether it is true or not?"

Tian Lianshi opened the folding fan and shook it lightly. It seemed a little cold, and immediately closed the fan again, tapped it lightly in his hand, then cleared his throat, paced, and was about to speak, but he heard Ye Xiuwen's tone: "Hurry up." Let's just say, don't put on airs, so many people don't have time to sing with you here!"

Tian Liaoshi's self-proclaimed chicness was instantly stuck, his expression froze, his eyeballs secretly glanced at Mr. Fu Yin in the high hall, seeing him also looked impatient, and hurriedly restrained his mind and began to speak.

I have to say that this eloquence is excellent, and he can explain a simple matter so heart-stirringly.

"Father Zhou's family was originally a farming family. The family suffered a disaster in the early years. Zhou's father and Zhou mother were reluctant to let their little daughter suffer at home, so they sent her to a rich family to be a maid. You know, if you enter a wealthy family, even if you are less Freedom, but you can’t go hungry, right? You don’t have to worry about food and clothing all year round, and you can get some silver to help your family.”

"In those few years, who didn't envy the Zhou family for having a good daughter, who was filial to her parents, respected her brothers and sisters-in-law, and cared for her nephews! This week's family is a well-known family of kindness."

When Tian Liaoshi said this, he suddenly stopped, and pointed his fan at Yin Tao, but met Yin Tao's slightly squinted eyes, the fan trembled slightly, and then took it back calmly.

He said sternly again: "Since Miss Zhou met the Yin family, her whole person has changed. She no longer obeys her parents, loves her elder brother, let alone takes care of her nephew."

Yin Tao felt that Liu'er was trembling, and quickly stretched out her hand to comfort her.

Seeing Liu'er's expression, Tian Lianshi was overjoyed, and became more eloquent: "In the past five years, she has never returned home to visit her parents and elder brothers, and she has never given a penny to the family. Even her biological mother is seriously ill, and Miss Zhou is unwilling. Going back to visit, and after repeated requests from Zhou's father and Zhou's eldest brother, she reluctantly went back once."

The eloquent litigator pointed at Liu'er angrily: "It's good that Miss Zhou didn't go back, but she actually pissed off her biological mother to death this time. My lord, she took out a bag of silver and said that she was going to give it to her family, but she I don’t want to anymore, you just don’t give face to your family, many people have seen this matter, and these witnesses are also waiting outside to be summoned by your lord, please be careful with your lord!”

I don't know that sentence stimulated Father Zhou, he mustered up the courage to look up at the adults above, kowtowed and cried with tears in his eyes: "My daughter was originally obedient and obedient, but after being taken away by this poisonous woman, It becomes another person completely, not only disobeying parents, but also becoming so vicious."

He pointed at Yin Tao, his eyes were full of hatred: "My lord, I beg you to make the decision for the little people. This poisonous woman ordered the little girl to come back and pissed her biological mother to death. She is so unfilial, she deserves to be struck by thunder!"

Liu'er wanted to speak, but Yin Tao walked over, put a hand on her shoulder to stop her, leaned slightly and said softly: "Let them finish first, I want to hear their hole cards!"

Zhao San stood quietly at the side and looked at Liu Er distressedly. Just as he was about to pass by, he saw that Yin Tao had already passed by, so he withdrew his foot. Lin Jinrui patted his shoulder, shook his head slightly, and motioned for him Don't go there, rest assured.

Zhang Pei glanced at Ye Xiuwen and Lin Jinrui, and saw that both of them were old gods standing with their arms folded, and they were still whispering, but they couldn't tell what their expressions were.

So he said to the yamen servant again: "Come in, witnesses!"

The witnesses were the village head and neighbors of Zhou's family. Counting carefully, there were more than ten people.

More than a dozen people knelt down on the ground, and the old village head had a gray beard. Zhang Pei couldn't bear it and asked him to stand up and answer.

Under Zhang Pei and Master Tian Song's questioning, the old village chief said that Liu'er was an ungrateful and unfilial daughter, and death is not a pity!

Even the villagers agreed one after another, looking at Liu Er with complex emotions in their eyes, including jealousy, greed, disdain and ridicule.

Of course, the older villagers were more angry, and they would never allow such unfilial things to happen.

Yin Tao remained silent, Zhang Pei slowly relaxed, looked at Yin Tao and the two, and asked indifferently: "Zhou Liuer, haven't you been home for many years?"

Liu'er looked up at Yin Tao, Yin Tao nodded and said softly, "Answer truthfully!"

From Yin Tao's eyes, Liu'er gained strength, so she straightened her back, and answered crisply: "Yes!"

"Did you never send money home to support your parents?"

"Yes!"

"Did you say something to irritate your parents, brother and sister-in-law after you came home?"

"Yes!"

When the case came to this point, Zhang Pei felt that it was a little childish, but he didn't believe it, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you pleading guilty?"

Just as Liu Er was about to speak, Yin Tao pressed her shoulder.

Yin Tao took a step forward, smiled slightly, and said, "My lord, what crime does Liu'er want to plead guilty to?"

"Naturally, it's treason, and she has admitted the crime of angering her biological mother to death!" Zhang Pei was actually a little excited, this woman finally couldn't help it!

The subordinate said that women are powerful, hmph, he wants to see just a daughter, how powerful can it be?

"First of all, I want to ask, sir, do you know that Liu'er is not from the Zhou family? Whether she gives the Zhou family money is purely based on her mood!"

Zhang Pei was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the Zhou family members who were kneeling on the ground. Zhou's father immediately looked up at Yin Tao in astonishment: "You are talking nonsense, she was born by her mother in October and raised by me. Why is she not from the Zhou family?" gone?"

"You raised her? It's a joke. You sold her when she was seven years old, and she got a sum of money at that time. Later, Liu Er gave you a total of 53 taels of silver in eight years. Excuse me, during the seven years you raised her, the total How much money did it cost?"

The other party was speechless, and Master Tian Song immediately said, "How can the grace of nurturing be counted like this? It is priceless."

"Oh, okay, let's put this topic aside." Yin Tao said lightly: "Excuse me, is the sold daughter still a member of your family? If so, why did you sign the contract of sale? Are these contracts child's play?"

Zhou's father opened his mouth, his face was a little red: "Even so, she is still the blood of my Zhou family! She can't deny her parents."
