After listening for a while, Hua Rujin heard the focus of their dispute.

Wang Er and Liu San are neighbors, only separated by a wall.

The chickens in Wang Er's yard were frightened and flew to the partition wall, just in time for Liu San's dog to jump up and bite them down.

Theoretically speaking, this is really impossible to judge.

At this moment, she can be regarded as thoroughly appreciating the style of litigation in Daye Dynasty.

No wonder the government suppresses lawyers.

If even such a trivial matter has to go to court, the officials in the county government will not be exhausted to death.

After thinking for a while, she slowly raised the briefcase in her hand, and could only persuade her earnestly:
"You two have to think about it clearly. Although I can't compare with those famous mouths in Jingzhou Prefecture, I can write a complaint on behalf of others. It is not cheaper than those clerks in the county government. Besides, if I make trouble in the court and anger the county magistrate It’s really not worth the loss if you have to beat each other first.”

Hearing this, both of them frowned.

Seeing that both of them showed fear, Hua Rujin forced her to ask, "Do you two still want to write this complaint?"

"I"

The two looked at each other hesitantly.

Hua Rujin was overjoyed, and turned her attention to Wang Er first: "Do you keep the chickens you raise for your own family, or are you going to sell them in the market?"

Wang Er frowned, and replied truthfully, "Of course it's in exchange for money."

"How much silver does a chicken sell for?"

"At least it costs seventy or eighty Wen."

"A hen has to lay a lot of eggs before it can be sold to the market, so I'll give you a hundred pennies."

Hua Rujin looked at Liu San with a smile again: "As far as I know, the county clerk costs two taels of silver for writing a paper, not including the stamping fee for stamping, the delivery fee for passing the pleadings, and the bail pending trial." If the insurance premiums and so on fall into the hands of the guards, they will inevitably have to pay some money for carriages, horses, wine and food."

Hearing this, Wang Er and Liu San frowned even deeper.

Seeing the frowning faces of the two, Hua Rujin decided that the two should not go to court over this matter again.

And she has already thought of a compromise in her heart at this time:
"Since Liu San, you are willing to use the two taels of silver to write the pleadings, I don't want too much. I will only take [-]% and use your two hundred Wen to buy two hens from Wang Er's family."

As the eyes shifted, they fell back on Wang Er again: "After all, they are all neighbors. You can't look up and look down. Liu San bought two chickens for [-] Wen. Wang Er, you will give the chicken that was killed by the dog to Liu San." Not too much, right?"

"Not too much."

Wang Er hesitated and shook his head.

Putting aside the chicken and laying eggs, the money is not a loss.

It's better than going to court.

Seeing that Wang Er was no longer arguing, Hua Rujin turned to Liu San suspiciously: "Then how about we just settle this matter like this?"

Liu San thought about it carefully, buying two chickens without having to pay for the chickens killed by dogs, although the price is a bit more expensive, but the hens can still lay eggs at home, it is indeed a very pertinent solution, nodded immediately: "I listen to Miss Hua."

So the two shook hands, made peace, and left freely.

Hua Rujin breathed a sigh of relief as if she was relieved from a heavy burden. Looking at the crowd around her who hesitated to speak, she asked meaningfully: "Have you all decided to write a complaint?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay for a long time, and finally no one came forward, and each dispersed one after another.

Looking back and looking again, there was only one woman with a sad face left in the hall, and the little girl who was serving beside her also buried her head tightly and said nothing.

"What's the problem with the old lady?"

Hua Rujin looked at the old woman seriously.

Seeing her frowning, she immediately realized that things might not be simple.

After pondering for a long time, the old woman raised her head and waved her hand to the envoy.

The maid then opened a package and spread it out on the coffee table.

Hua Rujin took a closer look, and saw that the package was full of gold, silver and jewels.

"Let's not talk about money for now. If the old lady has difficulties, it's okay to say so."

Hua Rujin asked straightforwardly.

"The Liu family in the south of the city of Nu's family indeed has a very difficult matter and asks Miss Hua for help today."

As soon as Liu's words came out, she burst into tears and knelt down on the ground with a plop: "I also ask Miss Hua to save my poor son, I only have such a son under my knees, I beg Miss Hua to save my son no matter what. "

As he said that, he ordered the maid to push the money up: "Miss Hua must accept the 200 taels of silver. As long as I can save my son, even if I go bankrupt, I will repay Miss Hua for her kindness."

The woman was very anxious, but she was still unwilling to explain the matter clearly, Hua Rujin frowned when she heard it, and hurriedly helped her up with the maid.

After sitting down again, she patiently continued to ask: "Madam, speak slowly if you have something to say, don't worry, you can explain your family's affairs clearly, if you can help me decide whether to decline."

"well."

Mrs. Liu sobbed for a moment, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and calmed down her emotions, before she said in detail:

"Speaking of it, it's not my fault. My son, who is not up to the mark, fell in love with the daughter of the Zhang family on the opposite floor. The two of them were in love with each other. They kept in touch with each other secretly, and they even made a private appointment for life. A few days ago, my son begged me to go to the Zhang family. family to propose marriage, but I just can't understand Zhang's daughter's shameless mother, so I rejected the matter, for this reason"

At this point, Liu's voice suddenly stopped, showing embarrassment on his face, and he didn't dare to continue.

Combining the words and deeds of the old lady before and after, Hua Rujin immediately guessed a general idea.

Although it's hard to say, but as a lawyer, he always pays attention to a clear context without any ambiguity, so he said bluntly: "For this reason, your son has done something wrong with Miss Zhang's family?"

During these days, she has studied "Daye Law—Household Marriage" quite thoroughly. As for matters between men and women, apart from incest and married adultery, the only unforgivable crime is adultery.

Unmarried men and women like Liu and Ms. Zhang's family, even if it's the adultery between you and me, will be punished in the court at most.

But Liu's expression was so terrified that there was only one possibility left.

"Your son raped Miss Zhang's family?"

As soon as Hua Rujin finished speaking, Liu was so anxious that she was at a loss and quickly waved her hands to explain: "No, no, that's not the case."

"Since that's not the case, why is Mrs. Liu panicking?"

Hua Rujin smiled coldly.

Mrs. Liu burst into tears again: "It's all my son's ignorance. It was the Zhang family's mother and daughter who were clearly responsible, but he foolishly admitted the crime of adultery and wanted to abandon me as a mother cruelly. That Zhang's mother-in-law is really vicious,

If she is looking forward to this marriage, she only needs to lower her head and discuss it with me, and I am willing to make this marriage. Since she has no such intentions, she just needs to dismiss my son, why bother to let my son secretly with her daughter Privately giving and receiving, she is obviously calculating her old age. "

Hearing Liu's words, Hua Rujin couldn't help but think of her cousin Ruya.

Free marriage is really a luxury these days.

It is precisely because of this that many touching stories have been achieved.

It's just that Liu's words are also reasonable. Since the wife of the Zhang family does not agree with her daughter marrying Liu's son, why does she let the two of them secretly communicate?

Is there any tricks in it?
