8. A new official takes office (8)
"Why did Master Jiang say this?" Wang Pengcheng's lawyer immediately jumped out and said, "My mother has been a widow for more than ten years. As her son, did Wang Pengcheng have ever had food and clothing?"
"Is it just a good deed to parents that is just about food and clothing?" said Liao's lawyer. "I heard that Wang Pengcheng has never lacked anything in his daily life. Is it true that his parents' filial piety is the same as that of such beasts?"
Wang Pengcheng's lawyer shouted: "Enough food and clothing is just one of them, so it is naturally more than that to do good deeds to parents."
The lawyer Liao bowed and said, "I hope to hear the details."
Wang Pengcheng's lawyer seemed to realize that he was too excited and fell into a bad mood. He quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Why do you think filial? The Master said, "If your father is here, look at his ambition; if your father is not there, look at his behavior; if you have not changed your father's way for three years, you can be said to be filial. As we all know, Wang Pengcheng's son inherited his father's business and operated the cloth shop in an orderly manner for more than ten years. He has a reputation in Tanyang County. It is filial piety or not, and everyone can prove it."
Liao's lawyer said: "Filial piety is to do good deeds to parents. Wang Pengcheng did not change his filial piety, but only targeted his father. Where is the filial piety to his mother?"
Wang Pengcheng's lawyer said: "You always claim to be unfilial, and ask Wang Pengcheng where is he unfilial?"
Tao Mo listened in a daze for so long, and finally heard the point and couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"Disobedience!" Liao's lawyer said coldly.
Wang Pengcheng couldn't kneel anymore and quietly looked at Liao.
Liao seemed a little uneasy, and secretly glanced at the lawyer he hired.
The lawyer is observing the opponent's reaction.
And the opponent...
It was looking at the new county magistrate.
Tao Mo pinched the gavel and slowly moved it to his chest.
At this time, most people's eyes fell on him.
Even Master Jin, who seemed to be watching a show from beginning to end, couldn't help but get nervous.
...
Is it knocking or not?
They all stared at the hand holding the gavel.
"How to disobey?" Tao Mo asked, touching the gavel.
Seeing that he had no intention of knocking, everyone withdrew their gazes, and somehow they felt a little disappointed.
Liao's lawyer replied to the spirit: "'There are three unfilial things in etiquette. The matter is called Ayi Qu, and the unrighteousness of his relatives is to trap their relatives. One is unfilial; the family is poor and the elderly, and they do not serve as wealth and officials, and the second is unfilial; if they do not marry and have no children, they will be sacrificed for their ancestors, and they will be unfilial. Among the three, there is no descendant.' Wang Pengcheng has been widowed for many years, but he does not want to keep his descendants for the Wang family. He repeatedly contradicts his mother for this matter. The Book of Rites says: A filial son is happy to support his elders. It can be seen that good deeds of parents are not only to support them, but also to obey their parents' wishes. Don't make them worry in their later years, unable to eat or sleep, and unable to sleep."
Wang Pengcheng looked ashamed.
Wang Pengcheng's lawyer was about to speak when he heard Tao Moxin nodding with gratitude: "It is a blessing to be able to follow his mother's words."
The few people didn't know why he felt it. Seeing this, Liao's lawyer was in his favor and said, "Since that's the case, please judge Wang Pengcheng to lose."
"Say him to lose?"
Wang Pengcheng's lawyer said anxiously: "No. I still have any words to say."
"Don't say more." Tao Mo waved his hand and said, "Although I don't understand what you are talking about, I also know that it's wrong to disobey your parents, and it's even more wrong to have no successors. So I decided..."
Liao's lawyer looked happy.
"The judge Wang Pengcheng's thirty-year reprimand!" Tao Mo said.
“…”
The hall is quiet.
Not to mention that Liao and Wang Pengcheng were stunned, even the two litigants were stunned. This kind of case is not so much a lawsuit against each other, but rather a dispute over whether it is right or wrong. According to the past, even if this kind of case is lost, it will only be fined some money. Some are open and some are secretly, and it is hard money for a county official to try the case. In Tanyang County, where litigants gather and regard the court as a backyard, it is common to use such trivial matters to go to the court. I have never heard of beating people.
Master Jin finally reacted and saw Tao Mo looking at the hall stupidly, as if waiting for someone to execute the execution. He quickly coughed and said, "Red-headed sign." Since he was the master, he would naturally do his duty, but other things were not what he, the "one of the three thousand weak waters" was willing to worry about.
Tao Mo grabbed a red-headed sign in panic and threw it down.
The servant came forward happily, pressed Wang Pengcheng down, raised his wooden stick and beat him down.
This is so oily.
As long as the beating is not severe, the unlucky person who is beaten will know that the officials of the government will show mercy and will definitely send a thank-you silver afterwards. This is also a routine. The officials did not expect that the new officials would give them such a benefit as soon as they took office so that they could celebrate the New Year comfortably.
Wang Pengcheng is also well-known in Tanyang County, with a lot of wealth and wealth, and it will be useless if he doesn't take it.
Wang Pengcheng was a little confused when he was in the first two strokes, and he cried out in pain until the third stroke.
When Liao saw this, tears fell down, and he felt heartbroken. But when the officials couldn't stop, they had to kneel down and beg Tao Mo and cried, "Woman is short-sighted, so don't bother with me. Let me let go! I will never dare to complain again!"
Tao Mo could not stand her tears, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't beat me, don't beat me."
The government station was still unsatisfied with the intention of the government.
Liao screamed and threw himself on Wang Pengcheng.
Wang Pengcheng was originally beaten to a little pain, but when she threw her like this, the wound on her body suddenly became burnt with a burning burn, her eyes turned pale, and she almost fainted.
It was only two lawyers who asked Liao to let him breathe.
Tao Mo said to Wang Pengcheng: "Look, your mother loves you so much."
Wang Pengcheng rolled his eyes.
The two lawyers looked at each other, formed a tacit understanding, and both bowed: "Please ask the adults to quickly settle the case."
Tao Mo looked at Master Jin.
After all, Master Jin is a veteran, so he wrote the case for the lawyer to read it.
When the lawyer saw it, they all praised their deep compliments for their mother-son relationship and were very satisfied.
So, the case fell into loneliness with a stick.
Wang Pengcheng was helped away, and Tao Mo chased him and told him: "You must be more filial to your mother and listen to her more in the future."
“…”
Wang Pengcheng was quickly dragged out of sight.
Tao Mo couldn't catch up, so he turned around embarrassedly, and Lao Tao and Hao Guozi came out.
Hao Guozi rushed up and said, "Young Master is so majestic!"
Lao Tao's face was not very good-looking, and he looked at Master Jin with a meaningful look.
Master Jin stood up suddenly, raised his thumbs up at Tao Mo and said, "It's really admirable that the boss can come up with such a strange trick in the first trial of the case."
Tao Mo said: "I just want him to remember the lesson."
Master Jin nodded and said, "That's right. Such trivial matters shouldn't be brought to the court to public. The boss used this trick to kill chickens and warn monkeys ingeniously, and I believe no one dared to do it again in the future."
Tao Mo was confused when he heard this, "What kills the chicken to warn the monkey?"
Master Jin gave him a tacit look and quietly took his leave.
When Lao Tao saw Tao Mo in confusion, he explained: "He thought the young master was deliberately beating Wang Pengcheng, so that the people in the county would not sue the officials for such a small matter."
Tao Mo shook his head and said, "I didn't mean this. I just heard that when Wang Pengcheng disobeyed, I seemed to see myself in the past and couldn't help but want to beat myself up."
“…”
In other words, Wang Pengcheng just now became Tao Mo’s substitute?
I really don’t know what Wang Pengcheng would think if he knew the truth.
Lao Tao and Hao Guozi looked at each other and thought that this secret would be better to keep it.
Lao Tao said meaningfully: "Young Master, don't spread this matter."
Tao Mo asked subconsciously: "Why?"
Lao Tao said: "I'm afraid that someone who cares about the master will find out, and it will be another storm."
Tao Mo nodded sadly.
Lao Tao's face slowly said, "Young Master has been in the court for so long, so I must be tired. Why not go back and take a break."
"Okay." Tao Mo pulled Hao Guozi's sleeve, "Come on."
Tao Mo looked for Hao Guozi for Gu She.
But Hao Guozi was full of complaints about Gu She.
"Did you see Gu cum?" Tao Mo looked at him expectantly.
Hao Guozi shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it."
"Ah? Why?" Tao Mo was shocked and suddenly became restless.
Hao Guozi snorted coldly: "The Gu She is so arrogant. Every day, many people send posts to visit outside his mansion, and he only chooses one or two to meet."
Tao Mo said anxiously: "Have you seen it?"
"Of course not. I am just a servant. I heard that only one of them came to the gatehouse of their mansion, and almost even threw out the visitor." This was the first time he had such treatment, and his heart was full of anger.
Tao Mo said worriedly: "No wonder he asked me to go to his mansion to wait in person. Alas. If I don't go this time, he might annoy me."
Hao Guozi said: "Young Master, you are the first time you tried a case today. Everyone in the county knows it. How can he not know it?"
Tao Mo said: "I hope he can forgive."
Seeing him stupid, Hao Guozi couldn't help but comfort him: "I think that Gu She is not a good person either. You shouldn't have to deal with him."
Tao Mo felt embarrassed that he was seen through his worries, "I just wanted to learn from him."
"What's he learning?"
"I don't know either." Tao Mo thought for a while, "but he gave people a very capable feeling."
"... Actually, Master Jin is quite capable."
"Well, so I invited him back."
