Chapter 540 A Coward
The county magistrate tried the case, and the good people of Zecheng gathered around the gate of the county government office.

When Feng Tongzhi got out of the carriage, an official sent him away.

Probably because of Chen Liuer's confession, after a while, Butou Zheng led Ye Ran into the county government hall through the side door and waited behind a screen.

Through a screen, I heard a gavel.

A dignified voice asked: "Who is in the hall? Who is suing?"

"Reporting to Mr. Shen, He Si, a villager of Caomin Xiushui Village, sued Mrs. Chen for not repaying the 20 taels of betrothal gift from Caomin, and sued Mrs. Ye for hurting someone with an arrow!"

"Zhang Xiangquan, the patriarch of Caomin Xiushui Village, sued the Ye family for hurting people with arrows!"

Master Shen said in a deep voice: "Take Chen Shi, take Ye Shi!"

Qing Xing had already pushed Mrs. Chen to appear in the lobby in a wheelchair, Ye Ran nodded gratefully to Butou Zheng, and also turned out of the lobby from behind the screen.

As soon as Ye Ran turned out of the lobby, he saw that Feng Tongzhi was already sitting on the right side of Mr. Shen who was at the head.

As soon as she and Mrs. Chen appeared, Master Shen slapped the gavel: "Mr. Chen, villager He Si of Xiushui Village sued you for accepting 20 taels of betrothal gift and not returning it. Are you guilty?"

At first, Mrs. Chen thought that her son-in-law was the county magistrate, so she was not afraid.

But Shen Chen gave a pat on the floor, seeing his expressionless face, old lady Chen immediately froze, and was too frightened to even speak.

Shen Chen had a headache for a while, so he had to pat the gavel and asked Ye Ran: "Ye Shi, why didn't you kneel when you saw me? He Si and Zhang Xiangquan sued you for hurting someone with an arrow, are you guilty?"

Zhang Xiangquan and He Sizheng were secretly proud that this bitch was so rude, and when the county magistrate slapped him, Yeran took out a jade token.

"My lord, women have a token to avoid kneeling!"

As he said, he handed the jade pendant to Zheng Butou, Zheng Butou presented it to Shen Chen for a look, seeing clearly the imprint of the master of Futai on it, Shen Chen was startled.

The jade pendant was still in Yeran's hand, so she said neither arrogant nor humble: "My lord, Zhang Xiangquan, the patriarch of the Zhang family, is disrespectful to the old, and even at a very old age, he persuaded He Si to find Mrs. Chen to hire him. The women went hunting in the mountains and forcibly occupied the green brick mansion of the people's women's house. In order to drive people away, the women accidentally injured them. According to the laws of the Yun Kingdom, those who break into other people's houses without the owner's permission, the owner accidentally injures the intruder, Not guilty!"

Ye Ran scolded him for being old and disrespectful, and Zhang Xiangquan was furious. He argued, "My lord, He Si's parents died early, and he accepted Cao Min as his godfather. According to the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the Chen family is the elder of the Ye family. Mrs. Chen accepts the dowry, Mrs. Ye is He Si's unmarried wife, Cao Min, who is a godfather, helps them put a happy letter on their new house, how can it be regarded as forcibly taking over the house?"

"My lord, not to mention that Minnv was kicked out of the Chen family by grandma, she is not from the Chen family."

Ye Ran sneered: "Even if He Si really got the dowry and got married, there is no reason to live in the woman's house and get married. What is it if you come here uninvited?"

He Si quibbled and said: "My lord, it was Mrs. Chen who personally agreed, and the grass-roots people gave 20 taels of betrothal gift. From now on, the big green brick house will belong to the grass-roots people."

Turning back to Mrs. Chen again, Shen Chen couldn't help the old lady anymore, so he had to slap the gavel.

"Mr. Chen, when you accepted the dowry, did you ever say that the blue brick mansion belongs to He Si?"

When the gavel sounded, Mrs. Chen trembled in fright.

If Mrs. Chen doesn't speak like this, how can the case go on trial?
Qing Xing could only say softly: "The old lady is telling the truth."

Mrs. Chen faltered and said: "Say, I said..."
