"Master Du reminded me that this official was negligent. Just thinking that the nature of this case was so bad, I was filled with righteous indignation and forgot all the procedures."

He then glared fiercely at the Qin family, and added: "The sinner has repeatedly provoked quarrels and provoked trouble, and brazenly fabricated the charge of "adultery" to slander the innocence of his eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qin, as well as Du Zhongheng's innocence. , its heart can be punished!"

"This official sentenced the sentence as follows. The original sentence should be heavier than that of the person yesterday, but considering his old age and frailty, he will be sentenced to the same sentence for half a year, and the same fine of 10 taels of silver, and apologize to Mrs. Qin and Master Du in public."

As soon as his words fell, he heard a gurgling sound in Qin's throat, as if phlegm was stuck, and then screamed, "God, how can you let me live!"

Before he finished speaking, he was already paralyzed on the ground, and he fainted from fright.

"Mother, don't scare us, mother!"

"Mother, what's wrong with you! Wake up!"

"Grandma, woohoo, what's wrong with you, grandma!"

The four people from the second room of the Qin family rushed up, rushed to the Qin family's side and began to cry, and their cries echoed throughout the court, making it particularly harsh.

"Why are you crying! This is a courthouse, not a mourning hall, not a place for you to mourn! If I knew today, what did you do when you were arranging nonsense and innocent people? You deserved what you deserved to cry!"

The county magistrate scolded fiercely.

He was partly annoyed because he missed another opportunity to embarrass Mo Ruyue, and partly he did it on purpose for the Du family to see.

"Master, my mother really didn't mean to slander that Mo Ruyue, but she has been uneasy since she got married, and she instigated the elder brother's children to have a separation with us, so as soon as my mother heard about her Bringing a man home and being furious for a while will..."

"My lord, I beg you to be careful. Mother, how could she endure such a prison at her age? Just spare her!"

Qin Xu, the second child of the Qin family, seemed to have a sudden light in his brain, and begged the county magistrate for sympathy. Although the words he said were still slandering Mo Ruyue, compared to the bastards he said in the past, he seemed orderly. more rational.

"Master, we were not instigated by my mother. Although my mother treated us badly, but what happened to us later, everyone in the village is watching and remembering! But grandma and the second uncle's family treated us, I didn’t care about it from beginning to end, and everyone remembers this.”

Dabao took a step forward at this time and said in a sonorous voice.

"Before this, whether it was my grandmother or my second uncle, they all stole things from our house, and they were all caught at the scene. If my mother still took our feelings into consideration, they would have been sent to officials."

"Now that the second uncle is still saying such things, he doesn't ask his conscience, and he doesn't think about whether he can teach Qingyuan and Qingfei well?"

As soon as Dabao spoke, the county magistrate's head hurt.

However, after Dabao said these words, Qin Xu was obviously dumbfounded. Although he just glared at Dabao fiercely, he couldn't say a word to refute him. Obviously, what he said just now was true.

"This official has always enforced the law impartially. If there is not enough evidence, how can you decide the case casually? Since you shouted to let this official know what happened, but now you have let this official spare her? Really, the law of this dynasty can be left to you. Want to change your mind?"

After listening to the words of the county magistrate, Qin Xu no longer had a voice, and he was paralyzed on the ground like his own daughter-in-law and child, wanting to cry without tears.

Now that the case has come to a conclusion, the next step is to put the prisoner in jail, and then the prisoner's family will start to raise silver taels, and when the fine is finally handed over, he will publicly apologize to the "sufferer".

Although the Du family was a step late in submitting the lawsuit, and they were even more disdainful of compensation, they demanded a public apology. It was not only the Qin family who wanted to apologize, but also yesterday's Wang Luosheng.

The time was set in three days, and that day happened to be the day when Mo Ruyue was in the clinic. As long as it was her turn to sit in the clinic, the Huichun Hall would be crowded. At that time, Qin Shi and Wang Luosheng would be brought to the door of the Huichun Hall for them to greet in public. Mo Ruyue and Du Zhongheng apologized.

Seeing that Qin's prison was settled, Qin Xu thought about it again when he mentioned compensation.

Anyway, the Du family didn't care about the compensation, and the 10 taels of silver had to be paid to Mo Ruyue, so if he begged for a while and then dragged it on for a while, the money might be lost.

It's just that these words can never be said in court, so wait until after the court, and then go to ask her.

At this time, Qin shi was also awake. She fainted just now because of her anger. It was only after she woke up that everything was settled, and there was no room for change.

She was dragged down by the yamen in such despair, and waited for the family to collect the money three days later, and then formally apologized to Mo Ruyue.

The county magistrate finally finished the case, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Every time he tried Mo Ruyue's case, he would go through a process from joy to sorrow, and this time was no exception.

It's just... that wouldn't be a luxury, would it?

As he announced that the case was closed and the court trial was over, the Du and his wife were the first to turn around and go out. When the county magistrate saw it, he immediately followed.

"Master Du, Mrs. Du, can you follow me to the study at the back?"

He walked over to the couple and asked with a smile on his face.

Now is the best time to be with these two. Usually, I even have a chance to meet each other.

There were almost no meetings, how could he let it go so easily?

"The county magistrate, our husband and wife are just grass-roots people. If it wasn't for my son's injustice this time, we would not have returned to this sad place. Now that the matter is over, we have to continue our journey."

"There will be a lot of trivial matters in the future, so Caomin won't bother the county magistrate."

Mr. Du said neither humbly nor arrogantly, although he kept calling himself a peasant, his tone was not at all humble, and his expression was even more contemptuous, which sounded particularly harsh in the ears of the county magistrate.

"Master Du, I just want to apologize to the two of you with a glass of water and wine. I was almost deceived by the old woman before, so that the two of you also misunderstood me. I hope the two of you can give me one. face."

The county magistrate endured the anger in his heart. He was clearly the master of this county, but he was trampled on his face twice. How long would he endure this humiliation?

He is so flattering with this Master Du now, but he wants to use his remaining contacts to help him continue to climb, even if it is a step forward.

But this man named Du was actually disgraceful in front of so many people. Even though he had lost his official status, he was still so arrogant.

Although he has been slandering in his heart, he knows that people also have arrogant capital. Even if he resigns from the official position, his background is still there, and he is really just "a grassroots".
