Compulsory education in ancient times

Chapter 306

"Your Majesty? What Your Majesty?" Xia Lian's eyes flashed with a daze, as if she had forgotten what happened just now.

Xia Yuanzhong was already familiar with the strangeness, and patiently explained the current situation to Xia Lian.

After Xia Lian heard this, she turned her head to look at Tao Yanran and Qi Bohan.

The movement outside the house was quickly heard by the people inside, and the butcher's mother came out.

When she saw Xia Yuanzhong, it was like seeing a fly, and she said in a vicious voice, "What are you doing here again?!"

Tao Jianran saw the butcher's mother's fat body with a shiny face, and Xia Lian's thin appearance that seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, and he hated the butcher's family even more.

Tao Jianran gave the shadow guard a look, Ying Er immediately understood, stepped forward to show the token, and said sharply: "Bold! You don't kneel down when you see the emperor and queen!"

The old woman was startled for a moment, and looked suspiciously at Tao Jianran and his party with her small eyes, but instead of kneeling down immediately, she mocked, "Hmph! How dare a cat or a dog pretend to be His Majesty? The old lady is going to the county right now." Your lord, punish your crimes!"

It was the first time for Qi Bohan to be scolded by an ordinary peasant woman pointing his nose like this. With a raised eyebrow, Ying Er immediately stepped forward and took him down!

Since the token is not easy to use, just use violence to solve it!

But what the shadow guard did aroused Xia Lian's fear. A person who looked normal at first suddenly curled up into a ball, hiding in a corner and trembling all over.

Seeing this, Tao Jianran frowned slightly, and asked Xia Yuanzhong to take Xia Lian to another room to comfort her.

The fat woman who was tied up here knew that Tao Jianran and his party were stubborn, so she immediately changed her face, even though she was tied up by Wuhuada, she smiled and said: "You two gentlemen, the villain has eyes that don't know Taishan, offended the uncle, Please calm down, sir."

"Hmph, your family bullied your daughter-in-law, Xia Shi, and bullied a good girl like this, how dare you calm us down?!" Tao Jianran saw Xia Lian's appearance, and then looked at the old woman's face, and his heart was already full of anger!

Although Tao Jianran had already made mental preparations before coming here, but when he saw such a good person, he was so frightened that he lost his mind because of this little trouble. It can be seen that this family is not just as simple as domestic violence!

Tao Jianran asked a shadow guard to invite a doctor, and then arrested the old woman and the butcher who was working outside the Yamen!

As soon as she heard that she was going to the Yamen, the old lady stopped panicking for a moment, and her nonsense stopped a lot.

Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan immediately noticed the abnormality, Tao Jianran frowned and said to Qi Bohan, "Is there something wrong with the county magistrate?"

The old lady had been yelling at the beginning to go to the magistrate, but now that she knew she was going to see the magistrate, she was not in a hurry.

This county magistrate must have something to do with their family!

Tao Jianran's mood suddenly became more delicate.

The magistrates they sent to manage Ning'an are all the most honest and capable. If there is a corrupt official in the county near Yuezhou Prefecture, it means that the magistrates are not strict in governance, or they are colluding with others!

If even the magistrate of Yuezhou is like this, how many people can Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan trust in the court?

"It's useless to think too much." Qi Bohan held Tao Yanran's hand, and he was very open-minded, "Such things will happen sooner or later, you and I are only mortals after all."

The implication is to tell Tao Yanran not to pursue perfection too much.Otherwise, this day will only become more and more difficult.

Tao Jianran felt the warmth coming from Qi Bohan's palm, and then he got out from the horns and nodded slightly.

If the county magistrate is really a corrupt official, then he can deal with it as he should. After these things are dealt with, think of some preventive measures.Then do your best and obey the destiny.

Soon, a group of people came to the Yamen.

The county magistrate has already received the news and is ready to be promoted.

The shadow guard threw the butcher's mother and son directly onto the courtroom, and brought two chairs for Tao Yanran and Qi Bohan.

Not only that, Tao Yanran also asked the shadow guard to call all the free people around to watch.

The county magistrate is not like an ignorant old woman. When he saw the shadow guard's token, he knew that Tao Yanran and Qi Bohan were the real empresses, so he didn't dare to neglect at all, and the shadow guard didn't dare to stop him. .

Seeing this kind of battle, the onlookers cast their curious eyes on Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan.

But the butcher mother and son couldn't see the situation clearly. As soon as they saw the county magistrate, the old woman shouted: "My lord, you have to decide for us! This group of people broke into our house directly and tied up the old woman and daughter-in-law Get up, this is simply a bandit!"

The old lady was outspoken, and scolded Tao Jianran and his wife from head to toe. Seeing that they were about to rise to the eighteenth generation of their ancestors, the county magistrate dared to let her continue, so he immediately asked her to gag her mouth.

Seeing his mother being bullied, the butcher who had been silent all this time finally spoke up: "Uncle! What my mother said is not wrong, why don't you let her continue!"

After the butcher finished speaking, he looked at Tao Jianran and the two sitting in the lobby, and said very righteously: "Can you bully people when you are a high official! If you dare to bully us, I will go to Beijing to sue !"

Tao Jianran only heard it, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the county magistrate: "Uncle?"

The county magistrate felt guilty when Tao Jianran saw it, and quickly knelt down: "I beg your Majesty to learn from you, I have never bent the law for personal gain, this, this is a misunderstanding!"

Hearing the county magistrate calling His Majesty, the onlookers were awakened like a dream, and quickly plopped down on their knees, shouting long live.

But the butcher and his wife were dumbfounded, and when they realized it, the blood on their faces faded away, and they kowtowed to Tao Jianran and shouted for grievances.

"You have nothing to blame." Qi Bohan snorted coldly, then turned to look at the county magistrate, "Since the prisoner has an affair with the county magistrate, then the county magistrate should avoid suspicion. Suspend duty pending investigation."

When the county magistrate heard this, his eyes darkened, and he almost fainted.

General officials avoid suspicion as long as they do not participate in this case.But as soon as Qi Bohan asked him to stop waiting for investigation, it was obvious that even he was suspicious!

If it is really found that there is something wrong with him on weekdays, I am afraid that the suspension will be indefinitely.

Tao Jianran didn't like the county magistrate very much either, so after letting him go down, he sat in the courtroom, took a picture of the gavel, and passed witnesses.

The first to be brought was the daughter-in-law of the butcher's neighbors.

The two young daughters-in-law had never seen this kind of battle, and they heard that the two His Majesties were here in person. They didn't know whether they were nervous or excited, and they couldn't speak fluently while kneeling in the hall.

Tao Jianran frowned slightly, patted the gavel again, and asked repeatedly: "I ask you, have you ever seen or heard that this butcher beat his daughter-in-law Xia?"

"Yes, yes." The two young daughters-in-law nodded their heads, "I have seen it many times, and our family can hear Xia's crying every day."

Hearing this, the onlookers immediately went into an uproar.

But the butcher and his wife were about to refute, but Tao Yanran had their mouths gagged.

After Tao Jianran motioned everyone to be quiet, he continued to ask the two young daughters-in-law: "Then you have seen and heard so many times, have you ever helped?"

"This..." The two young daughters-in-law hesitated when they heard this question, "We can't take care of their family affairs."

Tao Jianran snorted coldly when he heard the words, and his mood became more and more unhappy: "Hmph! Isn't it a family matter if you kill someone?!"

The two young daughters-in-law were so trained that they couldn't lift their heads up, and the people watching were also frightened into silence by Tao Jianran's thunderous fury.

Fortunately, Tao Jianran didn't mean to embarrass the two daughter-in-laws on purpose, and quickly asked them to retreat, and the third witness came: the old doctor who had just seen Xia Lian's doctor.

Tao Jianran avoided the old doctor's kneeling ceremony, and asked directly: "Doctor, what is the condition of Xia's injury?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Xia's body has not healed from old wounds, and there are many new wounds. If it goes on for a long time, Xia's life may not last five years." The old doctor sighed, "Now it will be difficult to recover if you start to take good care of it. I'm in good shape, and I'm afraid I'll get sick from time to time in the future."

Hearing what the doctor said, the surrounding people were shocked again.

This is equivalent to Xia's becoming a medicine jar in the future!For ordinary people, if they get sick easily, they will use up their savings for more than ten years. How can someone like the Xia family afford it.

This butcher's family also committed crimes. A well-behaved girl has only been married to their family for two years and has become what she is now. How will the Xia family live in the future?It's better to go early, so as not to hurt the family.

After Tao Yanran let the doctor go down, he untied the butcher and the old woman, and said coldly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The butcher bowed his head and remained silent, but his mother was still not reconciled, she stepped forward and said in pain, "Your Majesty has been wronged! Those wounds were all caused by Mrs. Xia's little hoof, definitely not my son!"

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, the crowd immediately booed.

The old woman was humiliated, and wanted to go up and scratch the onlookers on the spot, but was quickly arrested by the Yamen.

Tao Jianran snorted coldly, patted the gavel, and made the verdict: "The old woman disturbed the order of the court, told a lot of lies, disrespected the emperor, condoned her son to abuse his daughter-in-law, and fined her [-] boards for three years. The butcher abused his wife, I will replace Xia A letter of divorce from your family, and the two of you will have nothing to do with each other from now on. And the butcher will not be allowed to marry wives and concubines in the future, and he will not be allowed to adopt children! Another sixty ten boards of fines will be imposed for five years."

After Tao Jianran's long series of judgments, everyone present was dumbfounded.

The punishment of beating the board and going to prison is normal, but you are not allowed to marry again, and you are not allowed to adopt an adopted child. Isn't this going to break the family's incense!

This punishment is really vicious, but it also makes people relieve their hatred.

And this was also the first time that Tao Jianran used violence when punishing someone.

The butcher and his wife were quickly dragged down for execution. Qi Bohan was worried that Tao Jianran's ears would be disturbed by those cries, so he specially ordered someone to gag their mouths.

The butcher and his wife finally received the punishment they deserved, but Tao Jianran's punishment did not end there.
