The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 250 The princess goes crazy ([-])

Let's talk about Cui Youbo, it has been half a year since he entered Dali Temple as the director in June last year.

During this time, Cui Youbo has been studying criminal laws and cases with the other three colleagues, especially Wang Ziqian, who took the most care of Cui Youbo and often took the initiative to help him answer questions.

As for Cui Youbo, he also worked very hard. In just a few months, he read all the criminal law classics and classic cases of Dali Temple in detail. , he can insert a few words in a timely manner, and often hit the topic.

This made Si Qing and the two young ministers very satisfied, and they praised Cui Youbo for being willing to learn and capable, and he would definitely achieve something in the future.

In view of Cui Tongxi's excellent performance, his immediate superior directly sent a message to the other three divisions, saying that there are suitable cases, such as those not very important cases that have laws to follow or old cases that can be investigated. Cui Si gave it a try.

Of course, Cui Youbo is not allowed to handle the case alone, but to act as a deputy to his colleagues and seniors, to provide opinions and talk about opinions, and to focus on learning and practice.

Today, Cui Youbo just took over a case in Chang'an County, more precisely, Wang Ziqian was in charge, and Cui Youbo watched.

The case is very simple. It's about the hostess of a low-class family sleeping the guest woman, and then the mistress matched the guest woman with the farm manager. At that time, the guest woman had already had a child, and a daughter was born a few months later. .Later, the male master passed away and the family was divided, so the mistress wanted to sell some of the slaves to save money, and the Hakka's daughter was on the list to be sold.

After receiving the letter, the Hakka woman ran to the county government to file a complaint, saying that her daughter was the son of the master, the young master of the family, not a slave.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the magistrate of Chang'an County ruled against the Hakka girl, and her daughter is still in slavery.

The Hakka woman refused to accept it, and she got advice from some expert, so she sued again, saying that she was a Hakka woman, and her daughter should also be a Hakka woman, not a slave.

But the mistress retorted, saying that when the guest woman was pregnant with the child, she was still working in the master's house. Even though she married someone and was released as a good citizen, her child was still a slave of the master's house.

Both the plaintiff and the defendant refused to give in, so the case was handed over to Dali Temple, and finally fell into the hands of Wang Ziqian and Cui Youbo.

"Su Chun, what do you think of this case?"

After several months of getting along, the relationship between Wang Ziqian and Cui Youbo has become very close, coupled with Xiao Nan's active promotion, the contacts between the Wang and Cui families have also increased.A few days ago, on the [-]th birthday, Wang Ziqian and his wife went to Cui's house to congratulate him; when Wang Ziqian's son got engaged, Cui Youbo and his wife also came to congratulate him.

From colleagues to friends, Wang and Cui became more casual when speaking.

Cui Youbo flipped through the pleadings and Chang'an County's verdict, pondered for a while, and said: "From the pleadings and the verdict, Chang'an County judged that Ah Zheng (the daughter of a Hakka) is not a good citizen, but a slave, there is nothing wrong with that. What really needs to be judged is whether Ah Zheng is a slave or a hakka."

In fact, slaves, maidservants and guest women are the private property of the master's family. In the legal sense, they cannot be regarded as "persons", but the property of the master's family.The only difference between the two is that slaves can be bought and sold freely, but Hakka girls cannot.

The Hakka woman who sued also grasped this point. As long as the county magistrate or Sizhi judged that her daughter was a Hakka woman, then the mistress had no right to sell her.

Wang Ziqian nodded in satisfaction. It seems that Cui Lang did not learn in vain during this time. He continued to ask: "Then according to Suchun's opinion, how should we judge?"

Cui Youbo unfolded a piece of white paper rolled together with the pleadings, and handed it to Wang Ziqian, "I have read it, the husband of the Hakka girl was originally a slave, but before her husband (the dead master) passed away, he once Wrote the release document and recorded it in Chang'an County, and released the Hakka couple as good citizens." This is also the reason why the mistress can only sell Ah Zheng.

Wang Ziqian took the release document, quickly browsed through it, and then asked: "Well, the plaintiff couple is indeed a good loan."

As if he got approval, Cui Youbo became more confident, he continued: "And the plaintiff is originally a Hakka woman, and the husband is a good citizen exiled, so Ah Zheng should also be a Hakka woman, not a slave."

Wang Ziqian secretly compared the provisions of the Tang law on household registration in his heart, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Suchun's sentence is very fair, so you will write the judgment for this case, how about it?"

This is the first case he personally judged and the first verdict he wrote since he was a secretary. Cui Youbo was extremely excited and enthusiastic about his work. He wrote a very neat verdict in just a cup of tea. I handed it over to Wang Ziqian for "Ax Zheng", and he was immediately praised by the other party.

Soon, the case was concluded according to Cui Youbo's verdict, and both the plaintiff and the defendant accepted the result.

The work has been affirmed, and Cui Youbo is in a good mood, and he is more actively involved in the new work.

Seeing Cui Youbo working so hard, Wang Ziqian also felt relieved.

In order to encourage Cui Tongxie's work enthusiasm, Wang Ziqian decided to give him another case.It happened that he had a job on hand, which was to go to a county outside Beijing to verify a wounding case, so he invited Cui Youbo to go with him.

Cui Sizhi had just been a judge for a while, and at the moment he was in high spirits, as soon as he heard about a new case, he immediately agreed to go with Wang Lang.

The two simply packed up some things, took the guards and their entourages, and hurried out of the city, not even taking care of lunch.

Therefore, the servant girl who delivered meals to Uncle Cui never saw her husband at all, so she didn't tell him about the 'farce' going on at home.

After finishing the case in the afternoon, the two missed the time to close the city gate, so they could only stay overnight outside the city.

Returning to the capital the next day, just in time for the court meeting, the two of them washed up briefly, and hurried to court.

After leaving the yamen in the afternoon, Uncle Cui returned to the Rongshou Hall with a tired face, and only when he entered the door did he find that the atmosphere in the house was not right. He was about to ask someone to ask, but his brother Zhao Zhu approached him poking around.

"What happened? So sneaky?"

Ever since Zhao Zhu wentssip about the inner house in front of him last year, Uncle Cui has gradually alienated him.

But no matter how alienated he was, Zhao Zhu was his nanny after all, and his playmate when he was young. Uncle Cui still remembered the past years of friendship, so he would not really send Zhao Zhu out of the Cui family.

Zhao Zhu peeked around and saw that no one was passing by for the time being, so he said to Cui Youbo in peace of mind: "Mr. Lang doesn't know yet, something big happened at home yesterday."

Cui Youbo's heart skipped a beat, he grabbed Zhao Zhu's skirt, and asked in a loud voice, "What's the matter? Is it grandma? Or lady?" Granny is getting older, and she is getting older; Otherwise, it is easy to fall to the root of the disease.

Zhao Zhu quickly waved his hands, "No, no, the old lady and the lady are very good. Yes... Oh, sir, it's not convenient to talk here, why don't you go to the study."

After saying that, Zhao Zhu dragged Cui Youbo to the outer study.

"You said that Ah Xue came here and begged the lady to allow her to join?"

Cui Youbo was stunned when he heard the news.

To be honest, after Bai Xue disappeared, except for the first month, he never thought of her again, and even her appearance gradually became blurred.

Just like what Brother Junzhi said, the matter between him and A Xue was like a beautiful dream during a nap. When he woke up, the dream dissipated, and his fate with A Xue was over.

But now he heard Bai Xue's name again, Cui Youbo's mood was extremely complicated, he didn't know whether he was happy, distressed, or worried - he was worried that his wife would be angry.

Wait... Cui Youbo asked again: "You said that Axue ran to the gate and begged the lady to accept her? Does this mean that the lady already knows?"

Zhao Zhu nodded, of course he knew about it, the whole Qinrenfang and even the whole capital knew about this matter.

My God, Cui Youbo suddenly felt that he was sorry for his wife - in other people's house, the old woman chased the other wife's wife and shouted, beat and killed, but in his house, it was the outsider who ran to the old woman and cried.

Cui Youbo didn't dare to imagine, with Xiao Nan's pride, how could she endure this kind of insult.

Swallowing his saliva, Cui Youbo asked nervously: "What about the lady? How will the lady deal with it when she hears about it? She, she didn't lose her temper, right?" Still furious, he whipped Mrs. Bai severely?
Xiao Nan was indeed going crazy, but she wasn't making a scene or fighting, but counterattacked in an unusually calm manner.

"Is Mr. Wang Dalang here?"

Xiao Nan knelt behind the desk, writing something, asking questions without raising his head.

"Here we are, already waiting at the hotel."

While grinding the jade hairpin, she whispered back.

"Well, you go to see him later, and when you meet, give this to him and tell him that within half a month, I must see that fake monk who hangs around in the mansion shop be arrested and sent to prison."

After Xiao Nan finished writing the last word, he put down the brush, and when the ink was dry, he rolled up the white paper and put it into a paper tube, and handed it to Yuzan.

"Yes, county lord."

Yuzan took the paper tube, but did not retreat immediately, and was still waiting for Xiao Nan's other orders.

"Also, ask him to help find an idler who is good at deceit. That idler has good looks and a good temperament. Well, isn't it Chunwei now? It would be better if he can find a quick-witted candidate who failed the exam. Find it After such a person, temporarily place him in the best hotel in Pingkangfang, and then come back to me."

Xiao Nan thought for a while, and added: "Also, let him continue to buy good horses and grain. If there is not enough money, use part of the funds from Xinshi and Nanshi. Store as much as possible in the winery. wine."

Her son-in-law, Aye, has been transferred by the sage to the south of the Yangtze River to transport food. The imperial court's war against Liaodong is about to begin, and she must make adequate preparations.

And Xiao Nan also decided to use this war to design Cui Run's family to be transferred back from Jinyang.

If the Liu family dared to conspire with Nanping to plot against her, then she, Xiao Nan, would bring Liu's aunt and mother-in-law back to the capital, and let the second wife know that the reason why her husband was promoted secretly was all because of her pair of "good sons and daughters" .

After teaching her in her previous life, as well as in this life, the eldest princess and the old lady, Xiao Nan understands one thing, the real madness or counterattack is not to go to the enemy and shout to kill, but to use his brain without spending any effort battle of wits.
