In the evening, when the whole family was having a meal at Jinhulou, pushing cups and changing cups, they were listening to the indignant discussions of the diners:

"The new county magistrate is really a dog official. The lady of the Tan family has always been gentle and dignified and abides by women's morals. It is clear that the second son of the Wen family is a prodigal son who seduced his sister-in-law. Now he deserves to be killed. But Wuzhi County sentenced Mrs. Tan to a death sentence."

"Hey, Mrs. Tan killed someone after all. Besides, who knows the twists and turns? I heard that Mrs. Tan is a prostitute in her bones, and she is also very fierce. The boss of the Wen family is also in good health. Ru Niu couldn't stand Tan's torture, so he couldn't get sick and died of depression."

"I've also heard about this. It is said that when the boss of the Wen family was alive, Mrs. Tan was indiscriminate, and was caught for having an affair with a foreigner. After the death of the boss of the Wen family, she couldn't bear the loneliness even more. Her deceased husband's grave Before the soil is dry, this woman has already found it hard to abide by her morals, so she pays money to seduce those rascals in the market, and it is reasonable for her to seduce her brother-in-law and kill him in anger."

After hearing the discussion behind, the person who took the lead sighed: "I'm so ignorant, it's a pity that I still defend her."

"This matter, brother, you are really wrong to blame Wuzhi County. The case of the Wen family is the complaint filed by Ms. He. Ms. He has always been cautious, and the cases she dares to handle are naturally impeccable."

Hearing He Shiyin's name, Hua Rujin couldn't help being stunned, looked at each other in blank dismay, and said with a calm smile, "Eat quickly."

In her heart, she immediately thought of the case of the Li family and the Zhang family in Jiang'an County.

I don't know if she played a trick this time.

Going back from the Jinhu Tower, as soon as he reached the gate of the small courtyard, he saw an old man with silver hair standing at the gate, pacing anxiously.

Seeing the figure of Hua Rujin and his party, he immediately greeted them, and guessing her age, he guessed at a glance that the young woman must be a well-known female lawyer in the county, and immediately knelt down and prayed: "Miss Hua, I implore you to save the little girl."

"Please, old man, talk slowly if you have something to say, there is no need to perform such a great gift."

Hua Rujin was a little surprised that the old man recognized her directly, and thinking about the gossip she heard in the restaurant, she faintly felt that it might be the same case.

After taking him into the house, Cai Baiwei made tea, leaving only Elder Wei to accompany him in the hall, while the rest went to the inner hall of the master bedroom.

In the quiet guest room, Wei Shuhan and Hua Rujin were sipping tea slowly, only to see that the old man was fidgeting, but he still couldn't speak.

Hua Rujin had no choice but to speak first: "If the old man has any difficulties, you can tell them all. If I can do it within my power, I will definitely not refuse."

The old man did not answer, but glanced cautiously at Wei Shuhan who was sitting on the side, and took out a stack of bank notes from his arms in a friendly voice: "The 3000 taels of silver can be accepted by Miss Hua, if Miss Hua can help the old man rescue Little girl, even if it means ruining your family, you will not hesitate to be an old man."

As the words fell, the voice gradually choked up: "This old man has only had one woman for half his life, and this old man can't just sit and watch her being wronged to death."

Wei Shuhan was very tired of this kind of people who always talk about things with money, and he was afraid that his apprentice would go astray, so he urged impatiently: "Brother, let's explain the matter clearly first."

The old man's eyes sank, and he fell into silence with difficulty speaking.

"This is the teacher of the family, the old man does not need to hold grudges."

Hua Rujin explained, and then asked straightforwardly: "Could it be that Your Excellency is Yuanwai Tan, and Ling Ai is the eldest wife of the Wen family?"

"Exactly."

Only then did Tan Yuanwai raise his head: "I think Miss Hua has heard about the little girl, but the little girl is by no means as unruly as the outside rumors say, the daughter I raised by myself, I am very clear about this."

"So, someone deliberately slandered your daughter and damaged her reputation?"

Hua Rujin asked.

"It's just because my son-in-law passed away early. Although the youngest daughter was a widow, the son-in-law still left behind his flesh and blood. My grandson is also up to date. Li idles around, doesn't do business, and messes around, even disrespecting his elder sister-in-law, presumably the Wen family is worried about losing their family property, so they deliberately fabricated these unreasonable things."

Tan Yuanwai replied suspiciously.

"I heard that Ling Ai did kill the second son of the Wen family by mistake?"

At this time, Hua Rujin couldn't just believe what Tan Yuanwai said.

No matter how much money he gave himself, he had to respect the facts.

Officer Tan raised his eyebrows: "Just because Wen Er repeatedly harassed my daughter, and she refused, he insisted on it. My daughter hates and fears him. The beginning of this month is the anniversary of my son-in-law's death, but Wen Er doesn't know Shamelessly went to her boudoir to tease her again, the little girl cut off Wen Er's lifeline with sharp scissors in a rage, and Wen Er fell to the ground and died immediately."

This scene, Hua Rujin always felt familiar.

Logically speaking, this is indeed within the category of legitimate self-defense, but there is a layer of concern that she was worried about at the beginning.

Excessive defense can kill people.

It is not impossible to save such a thing from happening, it has to rely on lip service and the wisdom of the presiding officer.

After all, the Daye Dynasty punished adultery and incest quite vigorously.

It's just that she is the magistrate's master now, so it's not good for her to directly participate in this matter, lest someone will feel that she and the magistrate are in trouble.

Presumably, this member Tan already knew that he was Wu Yue's aide, so he paid a lot of money to invite him.

Anyway, there is a female litigator by Wu Yue's side, her younger sister is also a famous talented woman, she must be able to distinguish right from wrong.

Furthermore, the person died in Tan's boudoir, and the death of Wen Er is enough to prove that he was not wronged.

That decent man would run to his elder sister-in-law's boudoir if he had nothing to do.

This is the ancient times with strict etiquette.

So she took a pen and paper, and Hua Rujin quickly wrote eight big characters, handed it to Yuanwai Tan, and said: "You ask someone to take this note to the prison and give it to your daughter. Love comes back from the dead."

Wei Shuhan just glanced silently at the side, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly praised his apprentice: really sharp.

Tan Yuanwai originally hoped that she could speak a few words in front of the county magistrate, but she only wrote a few words, which is really embarrassing.

After thinking about it, he frowned and asked suspiciously: "Surely these eight words can bring the little girl back to life?"

"You might as well give it a try."

Hua Rujin laughed.

Although I have known Wu Yue and King Ning for a short time, I have a general understanding of them. Although I don't have great talents, I am not a person who doesn't know right from wrong.

Tan Yuanwai pushed the banknote in front of her, nodded heavily and said: "Then I would like to thank Miss Hua, I will definitely tell the little girl to appeal to the county magistrate exactly as Miss Hua said, and ask Miss Hua to accept the money." Down."

"Mr. Tan, you're being polite. I'm not a famous litigator, so I don't need this much money."

As she said that, Hua Rujin took one from the inside, and explained with a smile: "After all, it's a matter of life and death. If I don't take a penny, Tan Yuanwai will think I'm too childish. Just 500 taels, according to the usual practice. , the county magistrate will re-trial Ling'ai as the final verdict, and as long as Ling'ai follows what I explain, she will surely save herself from danger."

"Thank you, thank you."

After thanking Mr. Tan repeatedly, he hurriedly left the small courtyard of Hua's family.
