29, tit for tat (two)
The Liang family has moved out of Tanyang County and cannot stay here for a long time, so Lu Zhenxue wrote a letter to request that the party be opened early.
Tao Mo was very excited about this. The only case was left recently, so the church was promoted after only two days of elimination.
Tao Mo sat high in the court, and the Qiu family and Liang family stood in the hall. After the opening ceremony of the house, the case came to the main point.
As soon as Lu Zhenxue spoke, he first described the friendship between the Qiu and Liang families in a sensational way. When everyone was infatuated, the conversation changed and the Qiu family was ungrateful and the marriage of a daughter and two people was excited. The most exciting one was Mr. Qiu. He wanted to speak several times, but Lu Zhenxue suppressed him. Finally, he had to look at Sun Nuo in disappointment.
Sun Nuo is still the old god, not surprised or happy.
After Lu Zhenxue finished his passionate speech, he walked aside and waited for Tao Mo to speak.
From intense to quiet, the hall was deserted.
Everyone looked at Tao Mo with a gaze.
Master Jin couldn't help coughing when he saw Tao Mo not moving for a long time.
Tao Mo then came back to his senses and turned to look at Lu Zhenxue, with a little restless expression. "I didn't expect that Mr. Lu would have such an...excited side."
Lu Zhenxue couldn't figure out what he meant. He thought he was secretly hurting himself, so he frowned and secretly regretted the rashness he had at the banquet last time. However, it was not the time to reflect on him. He quickly followed up and said, "It's not that I was excited, but that the Qiu family's actions towards the Liang family are really infuriating!"
Mr. Qiu was so angry that his beard almost stood up. It was obvious that the other party had not arrived in the sedan chair for a long time, so he married his daughter. Why did he become traitorous and ruthless in his words?
"Brother Lu's words are wrong." Sun Nuo slowly stepped out of the line.
Lu Zhenxue smiled, "Does Brother Sun think the word "Sinno" is not worth mentioning?"
Sun Nuo said: "Brother Lu is wrong. My idea is exactly the same as Brother Lu. The word "Sinuo" is actually the foundation of building a world for people."
Lu Zhenxuedao: "Brother Sun is going to take the Qiu family's money to stand up for the Liang family?"
Sun Nuo said: "Brother Lu is wrong again. I did stand up for the unfairness this time, but not for the Liang family, but for the Qiu family." He said, regardless of whether Lu Zhenxue would take it again, turned around and bowed to Tao Mo, "Sir, I would like to ask, is the so-called keeping promises a matter between both parties?"
Tao Mo said: "Of course it's a matter between both parties."
"Then I would like to ask Mr. Liang, when the Qiu and Liang families made a marriage contract, they said that they would come to marry within two years. Why is the two-year period approaching, and the Liang family's sedan chair has been missing for a long time?" Sun Nuo swept away the leisurely before, with sharp eyes.
Lu Zhenxue raised his arm and stopped Mr. Liang who wanted to stand up, and said, "The two-year period is coming, but it has not arrived. Since it has not arrived, how can we know whether the Liang family's sedan chair is coming or not?"
Sun Nuo said: "How can you act rashly in marriage? The agreement is less than half a month away, but the Liang family has not yet accepted the offer. How do you want the Qiu family to believe that you have the intention to keep your promise? Could it be that the Liang family really think that they will take a day at will and send the sedan chair to the door of the Qiu family? Will Miss Qiu be obediently in the sedan chair?"
Mr. Liang's face turned dark and he wanted to speak but stopped.
Lu Zhenxuedao: "Even if there is only half a month left, the agreed time has not arrived yet! Why should the Qiu family be so impatient? Is it possible? What are the reasons for being impatient?"
Mr. Qiu's face changed. What he said vaguely implies was the innocent reputation of the second lady of the Qiu family!
Sun Nuo said coldly: "Brother Lu, I call you Brother Lu because Brother Lu is a noble character in my mind. I don't expect that there will be times when I speak without saying anything!"
Lu Zhenxue said without changing his face: "Or how would you explain why Mr. Qiu knew that he was still half a month away, but he would rather ruin his promise than marry the second daughter?"
Sun Nuo said: "Brother Lu always said that one daughter and the second daughter were married. But where did Brother Lu learn from him that Mr. Qiu wanted to betroth Miss Qiu Er to Mr. Tong?"
Lu Zhenxue suddenly smiled treacherously, "Of course I learned it from Brother Sun."
Sun Nuo came back to his senses and his face suddenly changed.
"If Brother Sun hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that Mr. Qiu wanted to marry Miss Qiu Er to Mr. Tong." At this moment, Lu Zhenxue could not hide his complacency and confidence in his face.
Sun Nuo did not answer immediately. Judging from his expression, he no longer asked about his mistakes and was upset about his mistakes, but instead thought about how to save them.
Lu Zhenxue chased and said, "I wonder what the benefits of Mr. Tong, whom Brother Sun, gave me the Qiu family?"
Sun Nuo's mouth moved and was about to speak when he heard a shouting outside the hall: "Sir, villains have a way to resolve this case peacefully."
Tao Mo felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he looked closely and said, "Who is Gu Xiaojia?" He was kneeling right outside the court, with his eyes dripping at him."
Master Jin said, "How can you make noises in the court?! People come..."
"Wait." Tao Mo hurriedly stopped him.
Master Jin frowned and lowered his voice: "Sir, roaring in the court, it is best to be the top ten boards."
Tao Mo whispered: "But he said there is a way to resolve the case peacefully."
Master Jin's face was stern, "Boss, you are the county magistrate, how can you listen to the words of a common man in public?"
Tao Mo hesitated.
Mu Chun smiled and said, "I'm afraid this little boy in a civilian is just a person who passes the message."
Tao Mo's eyes lit up immediately. Yes, with Gu Xiaojia's personality, he would definitely not go to court to care about such idiots, and it must be Gu She who sent him.
Master Jin said, "If it is Gu She, that's even worse! Gu She and Sun Nuo are brothers of the same sect. If an adult listens to his method, he will inevitably be slandered and say that he is suspected of being sheltered."
Tao Mo said: "The master said this is a bad thing. If this method can really solve this problem successfully, no matter who it says it from, it is a good method. It is a good method, but who can speak filthy?"
When Master Jin saw that he would not listen to his advice, Mu Chun looked like he was letting it go, and he couldn't help but get angry and let it go.
Tao Mo said to Gu Xiaojia: "Come on."
Gu Xiaojia slowly stood up, walked to Lu Zhenxue, knelt down again, and said calmly: "Sir. Since the Liang family cares about the half-month period, and the Lu family cares about whether the Liang family will be hired, why don't you just wait for another half-month?"
Mr. Liang's face changed: "No!"
Lu Zhenxue frowned slightly.
Tao Mo asked, "Why not?"
Mr. Liang said: "Now I have broken up with the Qiu family and went to court. I am afraid that he will hold a grudge and deliberately delay, which will miss the half-month period."
Tao Mo nodded and said, "It's reasonable."
After Gu Xiaojia came in, his face returned to glory and said, "Mr. Liang said it well, it makes no sense. You have delayed the two-year period and have not been here yet. Now, you are turning aside and scolding the Qiu family for not agreeing to the marriage period within half a month, which is delayed. What is the reason for this?"
Mr. Liang didn't say anything with a dark face, but just looked at Tao Mo and said, "I'll ask for advice."
Tao Mo pondered.
Everyone in the hall looked at him one by one.
In fact, it was not something difficult to deal with. Master Jin had at least two or three ideas in his mind, but he didn't dare to say anything. In his opinion, Tao Mo was a bit unpredictable and unstable. He looked very simple, but when he thought about the details after getting along, he often made a cold sweat. Therefore, he couldn't understand whether Tao Mo's contemplation at this time was pretentious.
"Otherwise." Tao Mo finally spoke, "This official limited the Liang family to visit the house to discuss the marriage within half a month. The Qiu family must not make things difficult for them. As for the wedding date, there is no need to be too rush."
Mr. Qiu suddenly said, "What if the Liang family has not visited the door within half a month?"
Tao Mo said: "Then the wedding letter will be invalid!" He picked up the gavel and was about to say "quit", but when Master Liang shouted again, "Sir!"
When Mr. Qiu thought of the betrothal gift he received from the Tong family, he felt very angry and snorted coldly: "What else does Mr. Liang have to do?"
Mr. Liang said: "Sir, the word "difficulty" that you should not be embarrassed is too easy to cause ambiguity. Why don't you ask your parents to make the decision and set a date for my son and Miss Qiu Er to get married."
Tao Mo was stunned.
Everyone except the Liang family was also stunned.
Mu Chun and Lu Zhenxue both showed thoughtful expressions.
