I don't want to be wronged again

Chapter 19, Chapter 18, Contrast

Gong Wei's face sank, and he slapped the gavel heavily: "Bold! I'm asking the case, but I haven't asked you yet, how can I make you roar in the court! Quickly go to the side and stand still, if there is any overstepping, the responsibility will not be forgiven! "

The yamen servants on both sides stepped forward and separated Li and Sun.Li Zhang could only stand aside angrily.

Sun Xuanpei straightened his clothes, and said disdainfully to Li Zhang: "The tiger bone wine is true because Han Quercus is a filial piety to me. But it's because my great nephew saw that I was suffering from rheumatism, and specially bought a good tiger bone wine from the Northeast. bone, made with a secret recipe. If it wasn't for my good nephew, I wouldn't even be able to get out of bed, so how could I fight with you old man! My great-grandson is the most filial, but you, a shameless old man, only see it He's not pleasing to the eye."

When Gong Li heard it, he was very interested in the tiger bone wine, because his father-in-law was suffering from rheumatism, and every time he had an attack, he was in such pain that he couldn't even go to court.Immediately, he stuck his head out from the koan and asked, "Is this tiger bone wine really so effective? How long have you been using it? How do you use it?"

Seeing that he was blatantly digressing, the master next to him covered his face and coughed heavily.When Gong Li noticed it, he hurriedly shrank back.

Seeing him like this, Han Li knew that he probably needed the tiger bone wine.He winked at Laiwang who was outside the hall, and made a silent gesture. Laiwang understood, hurried back to the Sun residence to fetch two bottles of tiger bone wine, and sent them to the back hall of the government office without stopping.

Gong Li was listening to the past stories of Sun Xuanpei, Dao, and Sun Li's family with great interest, when he saw a family member come out from the back hall and whispered something in his ear.Gong Li looked at Han Li, and was even more pleased that he was so knowledgeable.He called someone to bring him a mat and said, "You are young and filial, so don't kneel down on this slate floor. I will allow you to sit on the mat and talk."

Han Li was very grateful, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you parents for your kindness! But the courtroom is the most important place in the family, and there is no seat for uncle and grandfather, so how dare you sit? Parents and adults Xu Xiao standing is the big one Grace."

Gong Li nodded incessantly, the more he looked at Han Li, the more pleasing it was to his eyes, and the more disgusting he was at Li Zhang.

Looking at Li Zhang coldly, he asked, "Li Zhang, what else do you have to say?"

The beard on Li Zhang's face trembled wildly: "My lord, you don't have to listen to the nonsense of a bunch of villains!"

Han Li repeatedly kowtowed: "My lord! We have no control over how my grandparents behave. I pity my grandmother who has worked hard all her life, but now she is sick and cannot be cured. Please be merciful, and please allow my grandmother to come to my house to recuperate, so that my mother will be well. family affection.”

Li Zhang said angrily: "You little bastard, stop yelling, that's your grandfather and grandmother! How could people from my family come to your house! Who said that I don't treat my old wife? Back then, I invited a doctor to come to the door. But it cost two hangs of money!"

Sun Xuanpei snorted: "Who doesn't know that you forced the old wife to lie on the bed for the sake of my concubine, and didn't give her any medical treatment!"

He said to Gong Li: "My lord, if you don't believe me, you can send a message back and forth to Lizheng where Li's family is located, and see if the old man is lying!"

Gong Li immediately sent an officer to pass on Lizheng.

The surname there is Huang, and it just so happens that he has long been disdainful of Li Zhang's demeanor.Now that he heard that he was about to go to court, he ran quickly to the government office.

Come to the hall, and please tell me all about Li Zhang's family.Not only Li Zhang, but even Sun Zhangyang and his son were ashamed when they heard this.Gong Li in the hall, all the masters and government servants, and the people hearing the trial in the hall were all itchy with hatred.There was a lot of scolding against Li Zhang.

Huang Lizheng said: "Thankfully, the master sent me to court today. Even if I don't come to court today, I will come to sue Li Zhang for pampering his concubine and killing his wife in a few days. It's not that the little old man is meddlesome, it's Li Zhang's actions that have made the neighbors early. If the master doesn't believe it, it is now rumored that his wives and concubines will go to court together and you will understand."

The people in the hall raised their arms and shouted: "Pass! Pass! Pass!"

Gong Wei signed the summons, saying that Li Zhang's wives and concubines went to court together, and told the government servant to find a sedan chair and carefully carry Mrs. Li.Li Zhang knew it was going to be bad this time, Kong was sweating in the lobby but could do nothing.

The two came very quickly, and because the yamen servant was in a hurry, he also called Rui Niang a sedan chair.

As soon as the two got out of the sedan chair, the crowd suddenly roared.

Needless to say, Mrs. Li was the one who got off the sedan chair first, and Sun Zhangyang and Han Li hurried forward to help her.

Although Mrs. Li is very sick, old and haggard, with a yellow and thin complexion, she is tidy and tidy, and her half-worn blue cloth dress has been washed clean; she has no jewelry on her body, but she can still see that she must have been a big girl when she was young. Beauty.

Han Li saw her grandma for the first time today, and couldn't help but feel very cordial.I muttered in my heart: Inheritance is really powerful, presumably my mother's beauty is mostly passed down from my grandmother.

Look at Rui Niang walking out of the second sedan chair.Rui Niang didn't know why the magistrate wanted to send her to go to court, but she could show her face in front of the magistrate, but she couldn't ask for the opportunity.At that moment, she hastily changed into the most gorgeous and exquisite attire. Fortunately, she always pays attention to her appearance, which saves time on makeup.

I saw her stepping out of the sedan chair in a graceful manner, with red and white makeup on her face, and a tangy fragrance; She wears a gold-stitched skirt; she wears a pair of light-white satin shoes embroidered with green mandarin ducks and red heels; she wears a golden crown on her head, which are all bean-sized pearl headbands. The emerald butterfly hairpin; the pearl earrings on the ears are snow-white and round, and you can tell they are extraordinary at the first sight.

When the onlookers saw the outfits of these two people, they understood without saying a word.

Before Rui Niang could take two steps triumphantly, and before she had time to throw out her coquettish eyes, rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and rotten water were thrown over her head and face.

If Li Zhang in the hall hadn't stood farther away from the door, he would have been hit by a rotten egg.

Seeing Mrs. Li's appearance like this, Gong Wei touched something in his heart, thinking of his wife in the countryside, his nose couldn't help but feel a little sour.I thought about how I could send some silver to the countryside behind my wife's back.

Seeing that he was showing signs of fugue again, the master hurriedly coughed again.

Gong Li quickly straightened his body and slapped the gavel: "The facts are all there! Li Zhang, what else do you have to say!"

Seeing that Li Zhang bowed his head without a trace of expression, Gong Wei asked Sun Zhangyang who hadn't said a word for a while: "Sun Zhangyang, would you like to take your mother-in-law home to take care of her?"

Sun Zhangyang hurriedly replied: "My lord, because Master Taishan does not associate with my family, he has not allowed his mother-in-law to meet with my wife for ten years. The mother-in-law at home is sick and often sheds tears at home. I just want to take my mother-in-law home, and it is a great joy to be reunited with my family. Please be merciful and merciful, so that they can fulfill their mother-daughter relationship."
