The official moves his mouth, and the person who works is collectively stunned.

When I heard that I was going to send a summons to Qin Bai, the clerks and yamen runners collectively lost their voices. Isn’t that nonsense? Whoever puts them on the head, they must have thought it was a provocation. Why don’t you come early or late? Just this time? Fools think it’s a trap?

However, Lu Yu could instruct those yamen runners, but they dared not not to go and handle them. After discussing for a long time, he still introduced Gu Zhaohe as a representative and went to Jingjiazhuang to discuss with Qin Bai. What if Qin Bai is really stupid? Anyway, there will be no loss when you try it.

But the facts proved that Qin Bai would definitely not be stupid. His reaction was exactly the same as his guess. He was furious on the spot and almost beat Gu Zhaohe out. So when Gu Zhaohe returned to the yamen in shame, he had to find another way.

So, sometimes it is not easy to be a job. Lu Yu doesn't care about everything, and only asks Qin Bai to come to the yamen on time. As for whether Qin Bai is willing to come? That is the business of the yamen runners. Qin Bai's attitude is that he will never come unless the yamen runners go to Jingjiazhuang to arrest him. But do the yamen runners have the ability to arrest him? If he has that ability, he will not be embarrassed.

But the problem always needs to be solved. After discussing for a long time, I finally came up with a solution that was not a solution - a lawyer!

The lawyer is a bit similar to modern lawyers, who usually help with litigation affairs in the yamen. However, the lawyer had a low social status at that time and was generally poor in character. He was hit by the government and often ate the plaintiff and the defendant. His more classic image is the movies of Stephen Chow.

However, it is just right to use a litigator here. At least Qin Bai does not need to come forward, and it prevents unnecessary misunderstandings. So Gu Zhaohe came to Jingjiazhuang again and explained to Qin Bai. Qin Bai is not an unreasonable person. After understanding the causes and consequences, he felt that the lawsuit needs to be resolved sooner or later. Anyway, the litigator didn't have much money, so he paid the money himself.

OK! After solving this problem, we have to solve the problem of Lu Yu, who is in charge of the county government.

If it is a modern court, civil cases can be represented by lawyers or agents, and the parties may not have to appear in court. But in this era, that was in chaos and there was no explicit provision at all. Generally speaking, the officials in charge of the trial made a decision. If the official requested that the parties be present, then even if they were dead, the body would be carried to court; if the official did not make any requests, it would be allowed to sue on behalf of the lawsuit.

Fortunately, Lu Yu was also very reasonable, and he didn't want to make a big deal. Not long after, Qin Bai hired a lawyer named Wang. However, at this moment, when he was about to go to court for trial, Huang Zhong was not happy.

When Huang Zhong found Lu Yu again and protested, Lu Yu became polite: "Wen Hung, you are also a lawyer this time, and Bai Er also uses a lawyer, what's wrong with this? I have always been honest and honest, and have always been impartial in determining cases. If you really don't want to, you can take back the paper, and I will never force you!"

In this era, except for cases involving women's reputation or rebellion that require close trial, all cases were tried publicly. That is, people were allowed to eat melons and seeds outside the government hall for a formal fairness. There were few entertainment activities, and there were a lot of people like this. Therefore, every day they were promoted to the court, there were a large area of ​​onlookers.

One of the privileges of fame and fortune is that in such a case, it is allowed not to show up, so Huang Juren also hired a litigant this time. Since that is the case, Lu Yu made a reason - since you can hire a litigant, why can't Bai Er not take a litigant? It would be better if you withdraw the lawsuit in anger, even if you are angry, you can't entangle in this procedure and go back and forth several times, and maybe you will be dragged to the new magistrate to take office. Lu Yu was still eager.

Such "righteous and honest" immediately made Huang Zhong's seven orifices angry. He left, but as soon as he returned home, he discussed with the lawyer he hired, and then immediately woke up. The key is to win this lawsuit? If you are obsessed with the procedure, wouldn't you fall into a trap? He is full of iron evidence, and a lawsuit is a sure win. But if you can't even get promoted, wouldn't those iron evidence become waste paper?

So Huang Zhong decided not to follow those trivial matters and win the lawsuit first. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong was not trapped, and in desperation, Lu Yu had to go to the court. Without surprise, the county government was full of people who were eating melons that day.

The lawyer Zhang, who was invited by Juren Huang, was aggressive in court and showed evidence to prove that Ding Yao and Huang Zhong had an engagement, and asked Lu Yu to make a judgment in court.

This is completely one-sided? Including Lu Yu and the people who were eating melons, they all thought that it was impossible to overturn the case again. However, an unexpected scene occurred. Qin Bai's money was not spent in vain. The lawyer Wang also showed evidence - because Ding Qingfan owed gambling debts, he then sold his daughter to pay off the debt. The debt was transferred to Qin Bai, so Ding Yao was already Qin Bai's slave. Unexpectedly, Ding Qingfan then signed a marriage letter with Huang Zhong, which was the second daughter and the second daughter were married! So Qin Bai not only did not violate the law, but was the victim. This was Huang Zhong and Ding Qingfan's private collaboration to occupy Qin Bai's "property"!

There was a sensation inside and outside the court, and no one expected this shocking reversal.

In this way, Lu Yu was given a reason to delay time. He ordered an adjournment and asked both parties to supplement evidence. He also arranged for the yamen runners to find witnesses and asked both parties to wait for the next trial.

It's very interesting. Every party here has its own selfish intentions and is trying to play with this lawsuit. However, under the struggle of all parties, the lawsuit has become more and more formal, and it really looks like a clean and honest person.

In this era, cases are not tried every day, usually on 3, 6, 9 days. Moreover, the days for various cases are also separated, which depends on the local rules in various places. For example, civil litigation is held for nine trials, etc. Therefore, Lu Yu delayed this, at least ten days.

Of course, the yamen runners were very good at judging the idea and understood that Lu Yu wanted to delay, and they were also delaying. This dramatic case suddenly spread throughout Laizhou City, causing the sales of melon seeds in the city to increase greatly. Therefore, after half a month, he realized that he could not continue to delay, so Lu Yu had to order him to be promoted again.
Chapter completed!
