Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 119

"Boss Liu, what's your cousin's name? How long has she been married to the county magistrate?"

"My cousin's name is Huiling. That wasn't a marriage at all. It was clearly the county magistrate who saw that my cousin was pretty and forced her into his mansion. My cousin was extremely unwilling at first, but after all, he was the county magistrate. How could we common people defeat him?" He sighed.

"This county magistrate is really something. As a local official, he doesn't care about the welfare of the people and even forcibly seizes women." Caidie complained.

"Oh, don't mention it. Our county magistrate rarely goes to court to hear cases. He likes to spend his days drinking and having sex. He loves money and women. He has married five wives and concubines. My cousin is the sixth. I heard that he has fallen in love with a girl from a family in West Street. Oh, someone is going to suffer again. He sighed helplessly and shook his head."

"Boss Liu, besides this set of white porcelain tea sets, did your cousin give you anything else? I mean the things that are under the control of the government."

"No, my cousin only gave me this set of valuable things, and the rest are some daily necessities. My cousin is actually not very favored by the county magistrate, and her life is not as good as I imagined."

"Understandable."

"Mr. Su..." Siyu whispered in Su Xunxian's ear for a while.

"Boss Liu, we'll buy your white porcelain tea set for thirty taels as you asked, but you have to agree to one condition."

"As long as they don't send me to the government, I'll agree to it, not just one, but ten."

"Boss Liu is straightforward."

Then Su Xunxian whispered in Liu San's ear for a while, and Liu San nodded repeatedly in response, then left with the silver.

"Master Jiu, this tea is really hard to drink. Let's go to another place."

"it is good."

Outside the gate of Luoyi County Government Office came the sound of drum beating, which was deafening.

A woman in plain clothes and a straw hairpin held a huge drumstick in both hands and struck the drum of the grievance drum again and again, making a deafening sound.

"Who is beating the drum?" The county magistrate asked reluctantly as he put on his clothes and hat and walked to the hall.

"Your Excellency, it's a woman who said she has a grievance to report."

"Bring the people up."

The woman walked into the main hall and knelt down.

"Who is in the hall?"

"I, Yingniang, greet you, Your Excellency."

"What is your grievance?"

"I sued He Xin for seizing my property, not supporting my parents, and beating women and children."

The bailiff presented her complaint to the county magistrate.

"What is your relationship with He Xin?" the county magistrate asked after taking a quick look.

"The relationship between husband and wife."

"Since you are husband and wife, how can you seize the family property? You are clearly making a false accusation."

When someone beats a drum to appeal for justice, it naturally attracts people to watch.

"We are all family, but the wife is suing her husband."

"The county magistrate said it was a false accusation without asking clearly. This is too hasty."

"..."

The crowd was talking to each other, saying all sorts of things.

"Sir, please listen to my explanation."

"You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I will sentence you for false accusation."

"He Xin was addicted to gambling and lost all the money in the family. My parents-in-law and I tried to dissuade him from doing so, but he turned a deaf ear to us. Later, he even sold all the family property for gambling. He sold all the valuable things in the house to get money for gambling."

"You're talking about him selling off his property. What does that have to do with robbing the family property?"

"He Xin has squandered all the money in the family. I have to support my parents-in-law and raise two underage children. I can't make ends meet. In order to stop him from gambling and for the two children to grow up well, I discussed with my parents-in-law about divorcing him."

"You've said so much, but you still haven't gotten to the point. What exactly is the matter of robbing the family property? I don't have time to listen to your story."

"Please calm down, sir. I will tell you right away."
