Chapter 188 The lawsuit is coming
Gui Wu's senior brother Zhong Yousheng is now promoted to the Dianli of the Household House, so he will be called "Master Zhong" by ordinary yamen runners. However, Gui Wu came for the lawsuit today, so he will first find the Dianli of the Chaser House.
After a while, Zheng Dianli, the punishment room, came hurriedly, but he was a face-to-face.
Gui Wu lived in Xiji Town, so he naturally knew that the personnel of the county government had increased or decreased. The original Zhengfang Dian was a corrupt official, but a few days ago, he was revealed to have bribes and abdicated from his post. Now this Zhengfang Dian official is a confidant brought by Xinxian Zun.
"Master Zheng!" Gui Wuyin was polite and bowed to bow.
Zheng Dianli was warm and looked at Gui Chongyang next to him. Seeing that he had to be full of his responsibilities, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Others didn't know, but he knew that this junior brother, who was a "noble man", was ordered to take care of him.
Even the position of the magistrate of Sanhe County, my boss may have come from this young man.
Otherwise, as a child of the Zhang family's legitimate house, he could be a military officer and a civil servant, and he also had six ministries in the capital. How could he have to be a small county magistrate in Sanhe?
When he heard that the second young master had made the Zhili County Magistrate, Zheng Dianli was still unfamiliar. He did not know the reason until the "Niu Ren" fell last month.
However, the boy's face was pale and he looked not energetic. The "fear" written on this figure was probably true.
It is really "poor mountains and rivers are bad," Zheng Dianli has already become biased in his heart, and he naturally feels that the defendant "Mei Qingshu and Feng's wife" in the case are hateful.
When Zheng Dianli politely welcomed Gui Wu's uncle and nephew into the house, the doorman looked at the money in his hand and felt it was hot. Even the county magistrate's confidant gave Gui Wu a face. If he took this, he would not offend anyone, right?
When Gui Wu was waiting for Gui Chongyang, Gui Chongyang sat in the side hall of the second hall. Zhang Liang also received the news, but he was in a hurry and his face looked ugly.
This time it was just an "attempted home theft", and there was no contact, but if he really started and hurt Gui Chongyang, what would he have to explain to his cousin?
My cousin studied with Mr. Gui in his teens. The two of them had no name as teachers and students, but they were of teachers and students. My cousin was very careful about Gui Chongyang, the junior brother, otherwise he would not have transferred Wen Jue to Beijing, nor would he arrange himself to Sanhe County.
In just one month, such a big mistake was made.
"What food did Du Zhong make? Last time he felt obedient, he just thought he was a sensible person and let others bully you. He wasn't it on purpose, right?" Zhang Liang knew that Gui Wu was Gui Chongyang's cousin, and nodded to see him. Seeing that Gui Chongyang's face was not good, he was much haggard than last time, he immediately said angrily.
Gui Chongyang smiled bitterly and said, "The Mei family and the Gui family are in-laws. No one would have thought that the Mei family would be like this. Speaking of this, we should accompany Brother Zhang. In order to be afraid that the villagers will make the prescription again, my younger brother must use Brother Zhang's banner to scare him. It's not that I am afraid that the prescription will be leaked, but that someone is obsessed with it. Because of the prescription, I will be thinking of those books... After all, those are the suicide notes of my older father, including the notes of my older father's spare time. If there is a mistake, I will be able to bear the blame for my own death!"
When Zhang Liang heard this, he immediately became solemn.
Mr. Gui Yuangui is a talented man, so his cousin would regard him as his teacher. There are two notes and notes he left behind in his cousin, and they are both regarded as treasures by his cousin. Gui Chongyang is his only son, so it is reasonable to leave behind any of the works. These things cannot be missed.
There is an old saying among the people, "The eight-character yamen faces south, don't come in if you have any reason or money." It means that the people who are suing the people, don't think about not spending money. This "spend money" does not mean bribery, but rather the disposal in the middle of a lawsuit.
As long as the government asks about the case and the criminal prison, the complainant must be allocated, including the fee for inviting money, the fee for the commission of the manuscript, the fee for the commission of tea and wine, etc. At the same time, the yamen must handle the magistrate, the punishment room, etc.
Although the Gui family directly communicates with the magistrate, they cannot ignore the rules in the yamen, otherwise who can do their best?
Therefore, when Zhang Liang took Gui Wu's letter and issued a letter to order the person to go to Mujia Village to immediately arrest Mei Qingshu and his wife, Gui Wu must not follow the constable who was on a business trip to take care of one or two.
Gui Wu knew the treacherous, and the leader of the Tie Captain was familiar with him, and the county magistrate personally gave the instructions. Naturally, he became more and more dedicated. He regarded the common theft cases in the village as major cases, and did not care about lunch. He ordered six constables and rode his horse to Mujia Village.
Not to mention that Zhang Liang was worried about Gui Chongyang's health, when asked about his medicinal prescription, he said that the Iron Captain and his team rode seven fast horses and galloped. In less than half an hour, he arrived in Mujia Village.
Because it is winter free time, the villagers are at home.
These constables are fast entering the village and there is no need to make trouble.
When several constables arrived at the Mei family and arrested Mei Qingshu and his wife, they had already followed a large circle of people outside the Mei family's gate.
Mei Qingshu and Feng were both ordinary people, so where did they pass through such a formation? With the ropes, the constable behind him was as fierce as a ferocious person. Mei Qingshu's face looked like earthy, while Feng was so scared that his body was as soft as noodles, and he was forced to come out.
The old couple Mei Ping seemed to be in their teens. They followed the official officer and were pitiful, but they did not dare to stop the official officer and drag him down.
Even the onlookers were silent at this time and did not dare to say a sarcastic word.
Others are not allowed to watch, but they can watch from the wall. Du Lizheng and Mei An are the same village chief and the other are the head of the Mei clan. They must not ignore them.
Du Lizheng was frightened and took two silver ingots and secretly stuffed them to the iron captain, asking a group of people to wait for their own tea.
The Iron Captain helped the people to the end, and he was determined to help the Gui family establish his authority in Mujia Village. He would not be confused about arresting people, so he charged Du Lizheng's "tea fee" and said, "Look, you understand, why are you so confused? He didn't know how to educate the villagers, causing such illegal murderers to rampant!"
Du Li was becoming more and more confused when he heard this. The plum green tree couple was a "murderer"? Where did this be discussed? One was a coward in his fear, and the other was a woman named stingy. These two people still had a bear heart and a leopard courage.
Both Mei An and Mei Ping were dumbfounded.
However, other villagers have always been afraid of the government. Since the officials all say that the couple is a "murderer", they are naturally a murderer. Everyone took a step back at the same time.
The Iron Captain continued: "Gui Xun submitted a lawsuit in the county government office, suing Mei Qingshu, and the Feng couple entered the house to commit money and murder. The county magistrate personally spoke and ordered us to detain the murderer and arrest the case!"
Of course, the villagers don’t know who Gui Xun is, that is Gui Wu, who has been mentioned in the past few months.
Killing for money!?
Human life is greater than heaven, and the villagers were frightened when they looked at Mei Qingshu and his wife.
Everyone is watching ordinary cases. This involves a life lawsuit. Everyone is afraid of it. I really didn’t expect that the Mei Qingshu couple could have such courage. Those who are timid must think about the places where they offend the couple on weekdays.
Mei An did not fall while leaning on a crutch.
The ignorant is fearless. As they know more, they will naturally be more afraid.
I remembered what Mei said yesterday that the black hair prescription was asked by Gui Chongyang from a noble man in the county. The leak was afraid of causing disaster to the Mei family, so the old man regretted it.
Zuoshi was reluctant to leave yesterday, so he would accompany Gui Chongyang more? Gui Wu has a good temper, so he would not be in vain to see his nephew be wronged. Now he is not out of the way? There is also a magistrate who is being spyed at by a commoner. How can he not be angry?
Feng was so scared that he was half scared, but after hearing the words of Captain Tie, he was so brave that he couldn't help but want to shout for justice. What's wrong with this? She was thinking about the prescription of the Gui family, but when did she go into the house to make money and kill her?
The couple was tied together, and Mei Qingshu naturally noticed his wife's struggle. When she turned around and saw that she was about to speak, she was almost scared to death and immediately pinched Feng's hand.
Feng almost cried out, but he also understood that he could "say injustice", but the Gui family had evidence that "household theft" was true. Do you still have to bite your son?
At this moment, Feng bit his lip hard, and he really regretted it.
The captains roared and left, breaking the peace of Mujia Village.

In the village ancestral hall, Du Li was tall and looked at Mei An. The Mei Ping brothers were very unkind. He was not willing to meet with officials, but there was a lawsuit involving human life in the village. When the court opened for trial, he was not allowed to be summoned and questioned.
The three old men in the village, Mr. Gui, Mr. Li, and Mr. Yang, looked bad.
Old Master Gui coughed lightly and said, "Gui Xun is so domineering. He is a fellow villager in the country. Why do you have to be this far? After all, merchants grew up and have less upbringing!"
Old Master Gui said this, but he was secretly happy.
The fact that Gui Wujie's affairs are so unrest in the world will probably arouse public outrage among the villagers.
Life in "Xigui" is better, and life in "Donggui" is hard. Among the children and grandchildren, some of them have a place to "Xigui" and stop their families from being offended there. "Donggui" can only swallow their anger.
Mr. Li snorted coldly: "I haven't heard that bad people in this world can have bad intentions to do things, so good people can only bear it?"
Can Old Master Gui be a fool if he is someone else?
The Yang family was committed suicide, and "Donggui" wanted to fan the flames and pull other families into the water, so why not be afraid of burning themselves?
Grandpa Yang also nodded and said, "Although I was bathing in the emperor's favor this year, I was exempted from two taxes, but when I was about to be sent to work, the county magistrate would be bad if the affairs of Mei Qingshu and his wife were abusing Mujia Village!"
This is how people's hearts are. If things are not related to oneself, they will really hurt.
Even though Mr. Gui was interested in watching the fun, he could only sigh at this moment.
The labor service depends on how hard it is. The lightest thing is just to wait for a while and walk the process. If you spread the rivers and canals, build bridges and roads, this cold winter month will really kill people.
Seeing Mei An and the two brothers Mei Ping were still silent, Du Lizheng said impatiently: "What is going on? You always have to say it clearly? What did those two idiots do that angered Gui Wu, and even 'shunt for money' came out? Entering the house? The Gui family's four people, three of them surnamed Mei, are they 'collusion between inside and outside'? They are really planning Gui Chongyang's life? Are you crazy?" At the end of the day, he couldn't help but slamming the table and bringing fear.
Since returning to Mujia Village from Gui Chongyang, the Du family has left and memorized it. It is said that the village most wants to deal with Gui Chongyang is not someone else, it is Du Lizheng. But who would have thought that he was planning to take action, Gui Chongyang actually jumped out of his backing. The new county magistrate in the county is openly, and the "Senior Brother Xu" who was regarded as the guest of honor that day was the main master.
Du Lizheng is not an ordinary villager. Because of the surname "Xu", he also guessed the identity of "Senior Brother Xu". Behind the noble man were two Dukes' mansions, and Senior Brother Xu's demeanor was mostly a descendant of the legitimate family, and he was a person Du Lizheng avoided.
Du Lizheng mentioned Mei Ping's words. Mei Ping immediately felt a little hope in her eyes and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes! The three members of the Gui family's family are all surnamed Mei. I'll ask Shunniang now, I'll ask Shunniang! Those two bastards are still Xiao Ba's uncle and aunt, so they can't do this!" After that, they were about to go out, but Mei An was dragged away.
Chapter completed!
