After the quarrel with the rich wife, the Guo family felt very uneasy and couldn't help but wonder, "Would the Wu family really take the same path as the county magistrate and want to deal with our family?"
Father Guo was silent for a long time, and finally said to his second son: "You will bring some food to your elder brother and sister-in-law later, talk to them about the family affairs, and also inquire about what is going on inside."
Guo Erlang said: "What else do you want to ask about? Didn't we all listen to the court today? The county magistrate didn't make a decision. He had to dig up some nonsense that was wrong in the past. How can we distinguish right from wrong?"
"Stop talking nonsense, go as you are told. We only know what's going on outside, but not what's going on inside the prison, and your eldest brother also needs to know what's going on at home. If it's true, what needs to be explained is that the person was recommended by Diao."
After all, it has nothing to do with our Guo family."
Guo's mother was also worried and asked, "Should we look for Uncle Wu again?"
"All the wine and meat sent today have been returned." Father Guo said unhappily: "Uncle Wu said that this was the first thing that happened when the new official took office. It was due to bad luck in our family. It happened to happen. Uncle Wu said
What can he do?"
He said: "The clan has said that if something happens to our family, it will be fine. But if the fifth uncle is implicated and cannot be treated as an upright person, our family will no longer need to stay in the clan."
Mother Guo suddenly stopped talking.
The matter was simply ignored.
Guo Erlang could only bring food to the prison to see Guo Dalang and his wife.
Guo Dacai panicked when he heard this, "Did the Wu family really say that? Isn't it that the lady in court today is the county magistrate's wife?"
"That's what the Wu family said."
Diao said with hope in his eyes: "Maybe he lied to us?"
"Before I came here, I went to ask my fifth uncle. He said that she was indeed the county magistrate's wife. He also said that the county magistrate's wife was also an official. I guess she was a higher official than the county magistrate."
Guo Dacai and Diao were dumbfounded, and then said in disbelief: "It's fake, how can a woman be an official?"
How did he know?
Guo Ercai stuffed the rice into them, glanced at his sister-in-law, and said to Guo Dacai: "Brother, dad said, if the Wu family really takes the path of the county magistrate, then you can say whatever you want. We will have the final say on this matter.
None of the men in the family knew about it. He had already fallen when we came back, so it has nothing to do with you."
When Diao heard this, he shouted in a sharp voice: "Second brother, what do you mean? Do you want to blame everything on me?"
Guo Ercai ignored her and said directly to Guo Dacai: "Brother, you should think it over yourself."
Diao was anxious to grab Guo Ercai, "Speak clearly."
Guo Dacai irritably pulled her back and threw her to the ground, and said angrily: "Shut up, if it weren't for you, would I have been in the trouble I have today? I'll divorce you if I make trouble again!"
Diao's face turned pale.
What happened in the prison was not a secret, and the Guo family would not avoid people. So as soon as they left, the prison officer who had been warned by Bai Shan in advance discussed with each other and still wanted to please the county magistrate, so he sent a prison officer.
Go to the county magistrate.
At this time, he had already gone to the county office. Although Bai Shan was still working overtime, he did not work at the county office in front. Instead, he took his things and ran back to the backyard to work overtime.
So the prison officer found the house.
Bai Shan met someone in the study room. After listening to what he said, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, thank you for your hard work. This county knows about this. Next time, someone from the Guo family or Wu family will come, or there will be something going on in the prison."
, you can all come to this county.”
When the prison officer heard this, he was happy and knew that they had done the right thing, so he bowed and left happily.
Bai Shan waited for him to leave and then went to find Zhou Man with a smile, "You were treated as a tiger to establish your authority today."
Man Bao reacted after hearing this and asked uncertainly: "Is the Wu family taking advantage of me?"
Bai Shan smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Man Bao was speechless, "Do you want me to clarify?"
"No need," Bai Shan said with a smile: "The Guo family also has a backer. The Wu family was originally weak and their mediation was not easy to mediate. Now the Wu family is using your power to make the Guo family more fearful whether it is true or not. Tomorrow's
The judgment should be easier to make."
Man Bao asked: "How do you want to judge?"
Bai Shandao: "It depends on the attitude of the Wu family and the Guo family."
He said: "If there is still the possibility of mediation between the two families, then try to maximize their interests, so that they can get along more harmoniously in the future, and let the people in that alley know that they are friendly neighbors; if there is no possibility of mediation, then
Just judge according to the law."
According to the law, Wu Dafu may have to play twenty boards and serve for one month before going home; while Diao may be sentenced to one to three years, and the Guo family must also pay compensation to the Wu family. As for Guo Dalang, he has not taught himself well.
His wife will also be beaten twenty times.
Although it seems that the Guo family is suffering at this time, judging from the impact, it is the Wu family that is greater.
Because now is the busy time for farming, the fields need to be sown, and soon it will be transplanting and harvesting.
Wu Dafu served for one month and basically missed this year's spring planting. After he came out, the heavy labor would also crush his body. It would be difficult for him to help his family in the following summer harvest, so this year's harvest is not counted by the Wu family.
there is none left.
Of course, the Guo family also has a great influence. If Diao is in jail, her children will be affected in their future marriage and work.
Judgment in accordance with the law is basically a lose-lose situation, and if it is done in accordance with the law, the neighbors in that alley will become more hostile in the future.
It was also because of these considerations that he worked so hard to handle this matter, otherwise he would have been sentenced directly if he had been arrested yesterday.
After all, the facts are clear and everyone's responsibility is clear.
But Zhou Man wanted to save Dahua, and Bai Shan also wanted to give the Wu family and Guo family a way out, and also clean up the atmosphere in the alley, so they spent so much time.
Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "Why don't you ask Dahua what you mean? She is the biggest victim."
Bai Shan nodded, "So I decided to try this case for one day. I will be in court in the morning, go to the alley in the afternoon, and then hold court at Wu's house."
When Manbao heard this, he immediately said: "I will go with you."
Bai Shan asked: "Aren't you going to see the house anymore?"
"Watch it tomorrow morning, and I'll accompany you to the alley to hold a class in the afternoon. I also want to know about the people's livelihood situation in Beihai County so that I can make arrangements for the future work of the Medical Department."
Bai Shan couldn't help but laugh, nodded and said, "Okay."
Bai Shan arranged it very well, but people in the county government only felt that the new county magistrate was too troublesome. Even the overly smooth Chief Song could not hold back and said: "Isn't this just a small case? The facts are clear, and it should be done
Catch those who should be arrested, sentence those who deserve to be sentenced, and beat those who deserve to be beaten. Isn’t this matter over? It takes two days to try such a small matter, so what will happen to the future cases? "
The county magistrate is just handling the case, where does he have time to do other things?
Although Fang Xiancheng didn't know why Bai Shan did this, he had a chat with the couple yesterday. Both Bai Shan and Zhou Man hoped to put the people first in handling government affairs.
There was no need for the two of them to lie to him about this matter, so Fang County Cheng felt that the county magistrate had his own reasons for doing so.
So he turned around and asked Lieutenant Dong, "Have all arrangements been made for everyone traveling tomorrow?"
"arranged."
Bai Shan wanted to open a court in the Wu family, which he could do with just one word, but Fang Xian Cheng and Dong Xian Lieutenant had to consider the consequences if the crowd became angry.
Although the possibility is not very high at present, some preparations must still be made.
