Chapter 66 Complaint
Not long after drinking the medicine, He Tiantian's mood calmed down. She also knew that the medicine she drank had an effect, and she wanted to get up after thanking the old doctor.
Lin Xiaoman hurriedly advised: "Auntie, take a rest before going."
He Tiantian shook his head, "I can't rest anymore. I don't care about money, but I don't want my dowry to be cheap for them. And my five girls were given away by them before I even saw them when they were born. I want to give them away."
Get it back."
As he spoke, tears were about to fall again. Lin Xiaoman did not dare to persuade him any more, so he could only ask Lin Erhu to go out and let the handlebar pull the carriage over.
"Uncle Shi, send us to the county government office in Lai'an County. I'm going to file a complaint."
The handlebar type, who had no idea what had happened, had already heard what happened from the neighbors of the Zhang family, and was very angry, "Yes! I will send you to sue these grandsons."
The carriage quickly arrived outside the county government office. Lin Xiaoman asked He Tiantian to lie down in the carriage while she jumped off the carriage to play the drum.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I picked up the drum hammer, I heard a sound of "Hey", "Little shopkeeper, why did you come to Lai'an County to play drums and complain about injustice?"
Lin Xiaoman turned around and saw Lu Jin in plain clothes not far away, and Qingshu following behind him. It was Qingshu who called the shopkeeper just now.
Lu Jin frowned. He couldn't think of any grievances Lin Xiaoman had to come to Lai'an County to play drums. She couldn't trust him, the magistrate of Qingping County, or she thought he was young and didn't have the ability to redress her grievances.
Lin Xiaoman was also surprised. Why did the magistrate of their Qingping County come to Lai'an County? He just had acquaintances who could handle things easily. As long as the relationship between Lu Jin and the magistrate of Lai'an County was not incompatible, he would say a word for He Tiantian. This case of the Zhang family
It’s a sure win.
Lin Xiaoman ran over with a drum hammer, "Sir, my old aunt married in Lai'an County. Her husband's family thought she had not given birth to a son. When she was weak after giving birth, they locked her in a woodshed and wanted to starve to death.
She, I am here to redress her grievances on her behalf."
Lu Jin's tense expression suddenly relaxed when he heard this: It turns out he didn't think he was incompetent.
"Can have paper"
"Yes!" Lin Xiaoman hurriedly took out the paper he had just written and raised his hands respectfully above his head.
Lu Jin took the paper and read it carefully, and then looked at He Tiantian in the car. He was also very angry: he always thought that only wealthy families would do such scandalous things, but he never thought that ordinary people could do this.
So shameless
He threw the paper into Qingshu's arms and said, "Send it to Magistrate Liu to see!"
Qingshu didn't know what was written on it, but seeing He Tiantian's appearance was not good, so he quickly took the paper and ran to the Laian County Yamen.
At this time, in the Lai'an County Government Office, Magistrate Liu had heard from the yamen guard guard that an acquaintance of the Magistrate of Qingping County had come to complain, and asked him to make preparations in advance.
Magistrate Liu complained in his heart, why is this ancestor here again? Can he be a good official now?
Although he was reluctant, he still put on his official robe and came out. Before he could reach the front, he saw Qing Shu coming in with the writ of paper.
He hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed to Qingshu, pretending to be surprised: "Brother Qingshu, Mr. Lu is here"
Qing Shu laughed, "Mr. Liu, if you really don't want to laugh, just stop laughing, it's scary!"
Magistrate Liu's smile froze on his face, and then turned into a cry of laughter, "you can tell"
Qingshu nodded and handed the pleading to Magistrate Liu, "There are people outside who are complaining about injustice. This is the pleading. My lord, please send it to Mr. Liu first."
Magistrate Liu hurriedly took the petition, and looking at Qingshu's expression, he knew how to handle the case.
So he called the Yamen servant to the court, and he hurriedly read the paper.
I have to say that the woman who wrote the pleading was very good at handwriting and writing. It can be said that she wept with tears every word and every line was filled with tears. After reading the pleading, she was so angry.
"Ascend to the court, summon the plaintiff He to the court."
At this time, He Tiantian had already listened to Lin Erhu explain Lu Jin's identity to her, and heard Lin Erhu say how good the county magistrate was, and even called them the uncle of the clan leader of the Lin clan, who was one of his own.
Although I don't believe it in my heart, I have a hope in my heart. If the magistrate of Qingping County can really face them, will he say a few good words for himself in front of the magistrate of Laian County?
When she heard that the magistrate of Lai'an County asked her to go to court, He Tiantian took a deep breath and trembled to get out of the car.
However, my body was too weak. Before I could take two steps, my legs went weak. If Lin Xiaoman hadn't been there to support me, I would have fallen.
Lu Jin pursed his lips and said to the government servant who came out to summon him: "The plaintiff has been tortured so much that he is too weak to go to court alone."
The officer shrank his neck, he was obviously the magistrate of the next county, but he looked more intimidating than his own magistrate
"How about... I'll get a door panel for her to lie down on"
Lu Jin showed displeasure and was about to scold the yamen servant for being rude and asking him to get a chariot, but he heard Lin Xiaoman say, "Thank you so much, brother."
Lu Jin reluctantly nodded.
"You don't need to thank me! You don't need to thank me!" The yamen servant ran back as if he had been granted an amnesty. Not long after, two people carried out a newly removed door panel and placed He Tiantian on the door panel and carried it to the lobby.
The place where cases are tried in Laian County is divided into the lobby and the second hall. The second hall hears some important cases or cases that are not convenient for the public to hear. The outer hall hears some private cases. Cases like He Tiantian must be heard in the lobby.
People who are interested can also hear the trial at the yamen gate.
After being carried to the lobby, He Tiantian was about to stand up and kneel down, but Magistrate Liu stopped him, "You are weak, just lie down and answer."
He Tiantian still leaned on the door and kowtowed to Magistrate Liu, "Thank you for your sympathy."
County Magistrate Liu was very satisfied when he saw that she did not act recklessly in front of him because she was an acquaintance of Lu Jin, "Tell me what you are doing and who you want to sue."
He Tian Tian Weiyu shed tears first, "Return to your lord, the civilian woman wants to sue the Zhang family, the civilian woman's husband's family, and gave away the civilian woman's newborn daughter despite the civilian woman's obstruction. And because the civilian woman did not give birth to a boy.
, he imprisoned the women in the firewood shed, intending to starve them to death and seize their dowries. Please make the decision for the women, allow them to divorce their husbands, find their biological daughter, and take her back to the Zhang family.
dowry."
Mr. Liu already knew the facts of the case after reading the pleadings. At this time, it was just a formality. He also asked if there were any witnesses. He did not want to have more than a dozen people in the hall kneel down and say that he was a neighbor of the Zhang family and had seen it with his own eyes.
How did He leave Zhangjiamen today? Everyone is willing to testify about He.
Mr. Liu was overjoyed. With so many witnesses, why would the Zhang family dare to deny it? So he asked the government officials to summon the Zhang family to court.
When Mrs. Zhang was taken away by Lin Xiaoman in Hetiantian, she asked her eldest granddaughter to deliver a message to her husband and son.
It's just that the two of them went to work at a wealthy man's house outside the city. After getting the letter, they hurried back. As soon as they entered the door, a rope was tied around their necks, and they were all stunned.
When I learned that He Tiantian had sued the entire family at the county magistrate, I cursed in my heart that Mrs. Zhang didn't explain clearly. If I had known that He Tiantian had sued them, they might as well have stayed outside to avoid the limelight.
After all, in the case of He Tiantian, he was killed without anyone noticing, but once he opened his mouth, he was seeking money and killing, so how could anyone call his family back and bring him to justice?
No matter how angry I was, the government officials finally tied me up with a rope and took me to the lobby of the county government office.
