Section 59 Backfires (4)
Chapter 59: Things go against your wishes (4)
You Shan thought that the Wei family still refused to pass the door, so the complainant did not mention his daughter's affairs. He just said that on the day of the auspicious period, the bride made an excuse to say that the old mother was critically ill and returned to Ning until now, and asked the Wei family to send her daughter back. If she could not do this, the lawsuit would start.
But when the two of them came to the court, Wei Yu said that he would obey the order and send his daughter back to his husband's house.
This change was unexpected by You Shan. At first, she thought it was Wei Yu's act of a flowery accent. As a way to resist, she found out that Miss Wei's family had really changed her mind. There are two reasons. First, the You family sent Brother Bao back. The groom's words were reasonable and kind. Miss Wei was very moved when she heard his younger brother say it. The second reason was that the groom's illness was gradually recovering, and she didn't have to worry about becoming a widow soon after entering the door. She was also guilty and hoped to return to her husband's house early and do her best. She was just looking for death that day, and she was a little too much, so she couldn't turn around. She caught up with this opportunity to turn around again and took advantage of the opportunity to collect the tent.
But she wanted to come back, but You Shan didn't want it! One was angry, and the other was trying to rebel against the north, which happened to cause such a form of kinship, which made her even more unable to swallow her breath.
That's right, but the case has been cut off by the government office. On the surface, the lawsuit has been won. It is not easy to go back on your word and refuse the Wei family's daughter to come back. You Shan summoned relatives and friends for a long time and then came up with another solution to sue Wei Yu for "ridiculous".
In this statement, after the daughter of the Zhu family came to the church, the groom was weak, although he entered the bridal chamber that night, he did not have the same effect as a husband and wife. At dawn the next day, the bride returned to her mother's house, and was in her husband's house for less than a day and night, and was dressed in strict manner. Therefore, the bride's face was not real. Now I know that the bride was actually the bride's younger brother! Since this is the case, the You family is unwilling to ask for the bride to avoid becoming a resentful partner and requesting to be decided according to the law of "marriage provocation".
Although the plot is bizarre, the reasons are very sufficient. The Nancheng Censor intends to make a decision according to the law, but he does not expect that a famous master of the criminal lord under him will have a different explanation.
Master Zheng was proficient in the law, and these people were the best at fighting right and wrong and extorting. They knew that both Youwei families were well-off and wanted to make some money to spend them, so they deliberately criticized and told a truth that was not considered "abusive".
The Qing Dynasty law is divided into seven categories. The first category is the "Famous Law" and specializes in general rules and procedures. What are the five punishments, what are the ten evils, what are the eight discussions, what are the public crimes, what are the private crimes, how to increase the punishment for recidivists, how to reduce the sentence for surrender, etc. The other six types are divided according to the six departments of the court and the six ranks of prefectures and counties, that is, the six laws of officials, households, military and punishment.
Marriage belongs to household law. The so-called household marriage land in litigation is a trivial matter, which can be settled by the official who is in the first trial within a time limit. Because of this, the dispute between household marriage land becomes an opportunity for corrupt officials to play badly and make money by turning black and white. Originally, the rules for review are to follow the law, no laws, no laws, no laws, no laws, and no laws, and the handling is carried out. During this period, the importance of the matter is to look at the official's cultivation, knowledge, and character.
However, it is already a great hesitation to ask the officials if they read books and do not read laws. As for a difficult case, they should quote which law should be cited. As for the case, they are even dark and confused. In this way, they must ask friends. Although the sects are familiar with the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty, they may not know everything. Moreover, there are new and old cases. If a new case is issued, the old may not be applicable. When and where a new case can be released, there is often no way to know this. Only the sects of the Ministry of Justice will be clearly understood. The local authorities are inappropriate in citations and are refuted when and when the Ministry of Justice is sent, so the sects of the Ministry of Justice will be bought by the Ministry of Justice.
Like the "routine" marriage mentioned by the You family, according to the household rules: "If a woman's family makes a fool of herself for marriage, she will be 80 years old and will be able to return the wealth; if a man's family makes a fool of herself, she will be able to get the wealth of her husband, and she will not pursue the wealth of her husband, and she will still be determined by the original plan of marriage."
The Censor's Office approved the plaintiff's lawsuit, beat Wei Yu's eighty-year-old, and broke the engagement and recovered the wealth. It was not wrong. However, Master Xing Ming insisted that he could not sentence him like this, saying that the situation of his two families could not be considered a rash act.
How can it be considered a blunder? The master’s explanation is: If there is a daughter in a family who is disabled and asks sisters to replace him during a blind date, and when the man gets married, the man finds that the bride is disabled, which is a blunder; if the groom has a similar situation and then the brothers are on their blind date, this is a blunder. In short, blunder is to know the shortcomings of the promiscuous person and deliberately conceal the other party. In the end, the purpose is to make the fake come true and get married.
Brother Wei Jiabao did not marry into the You family, which was completely inconsistent with the original intention of getting married without mercy, so he could not make a judgment according to the law of falsehood.
The words of Master Xing Ming’s words cannot be said to be unreasonable, but how should we judge them? The Book Office believes that what the You family complained may be untrue, and we must pass them on to the hall and interrogate them clearly before we can make a decision.
These two acts do not refer to You Shan and Wei Yu, but to Brother Wei Bao and the eldest son of the You family. At the same time, the news came out, and the eldest son of the You family did not even come to the church, and they were also prone to act rashly. He also sued others for their own behavior, which was abominable! The government had to deal with the plaintiff's crimes heavily and avenge the defendant.
You Shan was immediately stunned. Thinking about it carefully, what he planned to do is to be the best! If the truth is revealed, not only will he take the lead and commit the crime of fraud, but also the secret of Niu Niu's visiting brother and sleeping with Brother Bao will become a big joke. As for Niu Niu, it is difficult to marry if the white jade has a slight flaw.
But this is still a matter of later. Now the important thing is to avoid the crime first. The key to this matter lies in Brother Bao. If he speaks quickly and confesses Niu Niu, the whole case will be considered a sure loss.
"Please ask my second aunt to clear the situation?" Mrs. You advised her husband: "By conscience, the Wei family has also suffered a lot. It is better to resolve enemies than to make them. Why bother?"
You Shan shook his head, sighed, and after a long time, he said: "I have always gained the upper hand, and my family has become enemies. Now I want me to ask for help. This face is really unstoppable."
Mrs. You was soft-tempered and couldn't bear to make things difficult for her husband anymore, so she turned to discuss with her second aunt: "It's easy," said the second aunt, "I'll go there and I will definitely get things done so that my elder brother can save face."
Sure enough, Aunt You Er was very capable. When she came back, Wei Yu came to visit You Shan.
The two were good friends, but since they got married, they became enemies and never met again. But You Shan regarded people as enemies, but the other party didn't think so, "Brother!" Wei Yu bowed a lot as soon as he met, "All things are wrong. The little girl is a little stubborn, and I'm incompetent in teaching her daughter, so she caused so many troubles for her brother, which really turned into avenge."
You Shan couldn't help but be moved by such humble words, and hurriedly returned the salute, saying with a panic look: "Shi Jin, he is so serious! Old Wei, you know my bad temper. Old friend, please be more grateful, please be more grateful."
"Each, each other," Wei Yu said, "Let's get back to the point, brother, this lawsuit is coming soon. I have a way, I don't know if it's impossible."
“Though said.”
"First, if the son-in-law cannot come to court, he might as well be ill."
The word "son-in-law" sounded a little uncomfortable to You Shan, but at this time he had to agree: "Yes, I think so too, but there is a section, where is Brother Bao?"
"That's all about me." Wei Yu slapped his chest and said with a big bag, "Brother Bao has no other strengths, just being obedient and loyal. When he arrived in the hall, he would say whatever he wanted. He would never use it randomly to make love look good and ugly."
After hearing what he said, You Shan relieved and bowed to Wei Yu and said, "I am really grateful for this."
"You and I are in-laws, so we can't talk about these things, but brother," said Wei Yu: "They also rely on the mountains to earn the mountains and water to earn the water, and they still have to take care of them."
Speaking of this, You Shan became angry again. He said, "Old Wei, I am not a person who is unkind. It is easy to discuss if I want three or five hundred taels. They asked someone to hand over the idea. The lion spoke up, so there was no way to talk about it." As he said that, he stretched out a finger: "They want this number."
"A hanging?"
One hang is one thousand taels, "One thousand taels? Humph!" You Shan sneered: "Add ten times more!"
"Ten thousand taels?" Wei Yu was frightened: "I'm so stupid, right?"
"In-law." You Shan also changed his words, ": Since you have such a meaning, I agree, let's get rid of this matter as soon as possible."
His thoughts were active, and the opinions of the two families became closer. He quickly decided on several steps. The first was that as he intended, Brother Bao responded to the news, and the groom still complained that he was sick and requested to be exempted from passing the evidence; the second was that he gave a red envelope of 3,000 taels of silver; the third was that the plaintiff submitted another complaint and requested the revocation of the original lawsuit.
Everyone thought this was a foolproof plan, so they asked Brother Bao to come to the hall to respond to the news, proving that the groom did not take any risk. On the other hand, You Shan asked someone to "swallow the plate".
This time, the person asked a deputy commander of the Military Commander under the Nancheng Censor, who happened to be the one named You to negotiate. The other party said that although the case was not troublesome, there were many people who knew it. Even the Rehe County Government scored points. For the sake of the sake of both of the surname You, the original intention was to be given a half.
The half-fold is 5,000 taels, and in order to solve the problem as soon as possible, You Shan doubled the original number and gave two thousand taels of silver. There were three thousand taels of silver in the middle. They each gave in to each other and hoped to make a deal. When the middleman came back, You Shan was also very happy, "He gave half, I added half, three thousand five hundred taels of silver."
Everyone thought that this number was so kind and righteous, and the other party would accept it. Mrs. You thought that since the settlement had been made, it would be better to let the new wife come in early, so she urged her husband to quickly hand in the revoked letter, and first approved, and immediately clear the guests for the second time, allowing the young couple to greet relatives and friends, which is the right to set the title.
She was so anxious that there was another intention in it. After her son's marriage was settled, she could further talk about the marriage between Niu Niu and Bao Ge. On this level, You Shan did not speak on the surface, but secretly agreed. She felt that she might as well follow her wife's request, so she found someone to write another complaint to revoke the original lawsuit and handed it in.
Unexpectedly, the complaint was broken! The other party changed another person and said that he was cold-hearted. He asked for ten thousand taels of silver at one's mouth, and it was not enough to lose a penny! Even the intermediary was furious and came back to report the truth and advised You Shan to let it go. He thought that the Nancheng Censor was a scholar, and his official reputation was not bad, and he would not be confused. He was still 80% sure of the lawsuit.
You Shan was also furious about these people's rebellion, so he decided to follow what the middleman said and wait and see if there would be no mistakes. If he didn't want to, he made a mistake in his plan.
