"That's it! If this young man doesn't become an official and is willing to put down his posture and do business, he will be a famous merchant in the world if he is not thirty!"

When these merchants said this, they didn't pay attention, and there was a sedan chair behind them.

At this moment, in the side of the sedan chair, in the curtains made of green gauze, there was a pair of eyes looking at the cordon without blinking. Ouyang Mingzhou, who was so arrogant and arrogant!... All teams were dealing with the case separately.

After Ouyang Mingzhou finished handling the case, he turned around and went to the Zhao County Magistrate to retrieve a new case and continued to deal with it.

At the same time, he also brought the official who had lost his black hat and had been watching him make a case with his head naked back to the table of Zhao Junjung.

Now this guy is speechless. This case that has been accumulated in his hands for three years has been handled so quickly and neatly before a cup of tea is enough... What else can he say?

Now he didn't even dare to look up at the contemptuous eyes of the people who looked at him.

Zhao Jinding waved his pen and cut off his public office on the spot, leaving him back barely.

Finally, the governor Zhao gave him some face and did not take off his official uniform on the spot.

When the chubby official left the scene pitifully with tears in his face, he left the scene pitifully.

The governor Zhao also stood up and left his seat, walked over one by one with his hands behind his back, watching his staff handle the case with great interest.

Immediately, he stopped at the scene where the people were watching the most.

This is the case of accusing the widow of adultery just now. The person dealt with was Zhao Yufan, a junior who was a few years younger than Ouyang Mingzhou.

At this time, the people around were crowded. They were already staring at the young man who decided the case!... The cause of this case was that the rich man had an affair with the maid in the family, and the maid gave birth to a child for him.

When the master found out that the maid was pregnant, he took her as a concubine. After that, the master died before the child was one year old.

Fortunately, the dead head of the family was not confused. Before he died, he left a house in his home and an oil mill on the street to the concubine and his youngest son, so that they could have a place to live there and make a living.

But after the master died, his three sons at home began to plot against the property in the hands of the orphan and widowed mother.

According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, in this case, if this widow had always adhered to the moral character of a wife, neither remarried nor exceeded etiquette, then the industry would always be hers.

But if she wants to remarry, she has to hand over all the inherited industries to her family.

Because according to folk rules, since he remarries someone else, the widow's son will change his surname, and he will no longer have the right to inherit the family business.

Because of this, somehow, one day, the three sons of the dead old man went together to sue the widow for adultery with others.

At the same time, four neighbors around the oil mill came forward to testify.

It was said that they saw a bachelor living at the entrance of the alley with their own eyes and walked out of the widow's courtyard in the middle of the night.

As the evidence was conclusive, the government at that time immediately awarded the oil mill and the real estate to the old man's three sons.

At the same time, each of the two adulterers was beaten forty boards in the church.

As a result, the widow, with a one-year-old child, had no choice but to live on the streets.

But the widow refused to agree with the government's verdict. She rented a small house to live in. While sewing poor clothes for others on the street (just sewing clothes for the poor in exchange for meager salary), she pulled the child to raise her.

Moreover, this widow has been complaining and complaining for the past ten years.

Later, the government was no longer willing to accept her complaints, so she still cried and cursed at the yamen.

So every time she would be beaten up by officials for causing trouble for the court.

But after she recovered from the injury, she pulled the child and insisted on complaining and seeking justice... Because of this, she became half a celebrity in Kuizhou City.

The adultery case ten years ago, such a difficult thing, has now fallen into Zhao Yufan's hands.

However, the young official did not hesitate and began to deal with the case with drastic measures.

He did not care about the old man's three sons, and the widow who knelt on the ground and kept crying with his ten-year-old son.

The four witnesses in the case at that time were directly raised separately.

Zhao Yufan asked his four subordinates to start interrogating these four witnesses respectively.

He also intentionally isolated them so that they could not intercourse.

At this time, these people were stammering and speechless as they listened to the four witnesses, and they were all excited! Is this case that has never been cleared in the past ten years, really going to see the difference today?

...Now these four witnesses are really mute and can’t tell if they have any pain! They were all borne by the old man’s three sons before they came out to make perjury.

Moreover, when the case was first judged, the three sons also used money in the government.

So when the government asked the four of them, they just insisted that they would indeed see the adulterer coming out of the widow's yard and be done.

But unexpectedly, the question raised in this interrogation seems to have little to do with the case, but the question made them frightened! One of the witnesses lives next to the oil mill. A young official in front of him looked at him with his eyes as lightning and asked him: "That person... is the adulterer you mentioned. What color of clothes he was wearing that night?"

Hearing this, the guy's heart suddenly became "sudden"! He knew very well that if he said the color of the clothes wrongly and did not match what others said, it would be a big flaw! "I didn't see clearly, it was too dark at that time."

The witness immediately replied carefully.

"Then is he holding something in his hand?"

"It should...none."

"Is the moonlight bright?"

"It's quite dark, and the villain can't even see the dark or light clothes on his body."

"Since that's the case, how can you see his face so clearly?"

After asking this question, the tone of the young official opposite became stern.

And the witness who made the fake certificate felt that his heart and soul were trembling involuntarily! "You said that it was very dark at that time, which means there was no moonlight that night.

You said he had nothing in his hand, so if the adulterer had a lantern in his hand, you would never be unable to see the bright lantern... I'll ask you!"
