Dajing female litigator

Chapter 4 Probate of Wills: Court Trial (1)

Suburban Xinrong Village

The grass grows and the warbler flies to the February sky, and the willows are drunk with spring smoke.In a field of yellow rapeseed flowers, children are holding paper kites pasted by their parents and competing to see whose kite can fly higher, laughing and playing, what a happy scene.

However, in the place where children are laughing, there is a woman with sweaty head, pale face and sad face.

Now it's the time she and Lin Zhongchun agreed on, and the other party hasn't shown up yet, so it's not a sign of repentance, right?

Her brother didn't know where he heard the news. He knew that she was going to sue the official, and he brought a group of people to make a fuss, causing her family to go crazy, and several dishes in the cupboard were broken.

"Liu Niang—"

Lin Zhongchun hurried over with an oiled paper umbrella, even though she said she had been here last time, she was still not very familiar with this place, and it was a little late.

Seeing Lin Zhongchun coming, Ma Liuniang, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried up to meet her: "Miss Lin, you are here. I thought you were just talking that day, but luckily you didn't lie to me."

"Are you...?" Reaching out to help her wipe off the blood on her face, Lin Zhongchun frowned, "Why are you injured?"

Following Lin Zhongchun's movements, the wound tingled slightly.Only then did Ma Liuniang realize that when she was blocking the cupboard, she was cut by the falling bowl.

She pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay, it's just a small injury. Have you brought the complaint that Miss Lin promised to write for me?"

"Brought it." Lin Zhongchun took out the complaint written yesterday from his sleeve pocket.

Although the laws of punishment by the master should be copied, the matter of Ma Liuniang is more important.

Therefore, she finished writing Ma Liuniang's complaint first, and then completed the copying task assigned by Mrs. Shen.

The petition is divided into seven parts, which are pen (language), reason and plan, period, success or failure, gain and loss, evidence, truncation, conclusion and explanation.When writing a complaint, you must pay attention to language norms and meticulousness; it should not be too literary or vulgar, and the most important thing is to start from the perspective of the weak.

Although the statement is not sympathetic, in terms of public order and good customs, everyone will be more inclined to the weak side. To put it bluntly, it is "selling miserable".

Ma Liuniang accepted the complaint written by Lin Zhongchun for her, and the big stone in her heart was a little loose: "At first I was worried that Miss Lin was making fun of me, but I didn't expect that Miss Lin would really write a complaint. Yes. , Ms. Lin is a student of Hua Ting Academy, so she will definitely not make fun of me, a woman who can't read big characters. Ms. Lin, what should I do next?"

Although she said that she was worried that Lin Zhongchun would deceive herself, but seeing that the clothes she was wearing were the only student uniforms of Hua Ting Academy, she also had half trust.

The students of Hua Ting Academy are either rich or high-ranking officials. If they successfully study in the second year, they will get the preparatory official position. When they complete the study in the fourth year, they will be able to obtain the official position. For a formal official position, at least one must be a county lord.

With the academy's reputation ahead of him, his affairs would be a bit more secure.

"Sue the officer."

The whole story was written on paper, and there was also a will left by Ma Liuniang's father. Ma Liuniang is responsible for this matter.

In Qianyang County, Jindu City

"mighty--"

Ma Liuniang's family lives in the outskirts of Jindu City, which is under the jurisdiction of Qianyang County, so they should go to Qianyang County to find the county master to judge the will.

Guo Fuqiang, the county magistrate of Qianyang County, used to handle official documents in the study in the backyard. Recently, there are many trivial matters, which need to be handled carefully.

Magistrate Guo looked at the woman kneeling on the ground: "Who is in the hall, why are you beating the drums?"

Ma Liuniang presented Lin Zhongchun's written complaint with both hands, saying: "Ma Zhenzhen, a housewife, is the sixth eldest in the family, also called Ma Liuniang."

I also wrote something to bring.The county magistrate Guo winked at the yamen servant, and the yamen servant knew about it, so he presented the complaint in Ma Liuniang's hand.

The petition sued his brother Ma Si for seizing the inheritance, hoping to get his share of the inheritance, which is six acres of land, through this lawsuit.

After reading the pleadings, County Magistrate Guo rubbed his swollen temples: "You want to sue your brother for robbing you of your due share of inheritance?"

How could a compatriot of the same mother end up in such a state that he would never communicate with each other for the sake of inheritance.

Usually when encountering such a lawsuit, he would take the method of suing. There were originally six brothers and sisters, but due to an accident, now there are only two of them left.

Looking at the yamen servant standing beside him, County Magistrate Guo said, "Go to Pucao Village and bring Ma Si and Zhou Lizheng back."

Yamen servant: "Yes."

When the yamen servants left, Guo County Magistrate continued to look down at the complaint: "Ma Liuniang, I have read the complaint you submitted. Ma Si is your brother, and his father left a house and nine acres for you. Land, according to what you said, six acres of the nine acres of land should belong to you, and the purpose of your lawsuit is to get back the six acres of land that belonged to you, right?"

Ma Liuniang nodded: "Yes."

In fact, she discussed this issue with Lin Zhongchun before the drumming, and the other party gave her two plans, one was to get six acres of land, and the other was to get 600 taels of silver.Ma Liuniang felt that Ma Si would go crazy if he got 600 taels of silver, and the next thing he wanted was land.There are lands that can be rented or sold, but no matter how you look at it, it is more realistic than 600 taels of silver.

"Just wait for a while, wait for Ma Si to come over, and then continue the trial." County magistrate Guo nodded as he watched. He knew all the litigators in the county who could write complaints, but none of them got the right handwriting.

Since the ones in the county are excluded, they are outside the county, and with such a writing style, they should be students of Huating Academy.

Looking up, County Magistrate Guo saw Lin Zhongchun wearing the school uniform of Huating Academy at a glance. He smiled knowingly, and he was indeed a student of Huating Academy.

"It will take some time for them to lead people. Let's stop here for the time being. Let's continue when people arrive." Guo County Magistrate handed the complaint to the yamen servant, "Leave the court."

Lifting the gavel, it collided with the wooden table and made a sound of "Du", and then there was the sound of yamen servants beating their killing sticks.

"mighty--"

Magistrate Guo got up from the stool and walked straight towards Lin Zhongchun, "You wrote Ma Liuniang's complaint?"

Lin Zhongchun looked around and saw that his eyes had not moved, so he answered his words: "It's me."

"It's well written." Magistrate Guo nodded to her, and then walked towards the study in the backyard. Anyway, it will take some time to bring the person here. In this case, hurry up and deal with official business.

Ma Liuniang knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. She waited until the magistrate Guo was no longer present at the scene, then stood up tremblingly holding the petition paper.

Lin Zhongchun came and reached out to support Ma Liuniang, who had lost strength in her legs due to kneeling for too long.

Ma Liuniang said: "Miss Lin, can I really get the inheritance I deserve from my fourth brother?" The county lord looked fierce, and she panicked terribly.

Lin Zhongchun comforted her with a smile: "Believe me, if it should be yours, it will definitely be yours. Besides, your father invited Li Zheng to be a witness at that time, and it was included in the book. Your share of the inheritance will definitely be yours."

Hearing what Lin Zhongchun said, Ma Liuniang felt a lot more at ease, and she didn't know if the yamen servants sent by the lord could bring her brother, because her brother was not a good person.
