Qin Shaobai entrusted Qin Xiaowan to the neighbor's Aunt Zhao, and went to the Yamen together with the head of Nanyang Mansion.
Mother Wang from Yihongyuan was already kneeling in the lobby, and immediately cried out for injustice when she saw Qin Shaobai.
Qin Shaobai stood there, looking at Mrs. Wang's nose and tears, crying and making trouble. It was so funny that she almost laughed out loud.
"How dare Qin Shaobai, don't you kneel down when you see me?" The man in the hall knocked on the wooden door, Qin Shaobai trembled all over, and then he remembered that the place he was in now was called Da Song Dynasty.
People will kneel regardless of whether they are guilty or not.
He patted his knees and said helplessly, Brother Knees, this time we can only do as the Romans do.
"The person kneeling in the hall is Qin Shaobai from Nanyang County?"
The voice was very loud and resonant, with a sense of justice and dignity.
My knees happened to hurt a little, so I had to change my posture and kneel again.
Qin Shaobai straightened up and shifted his weight to the other leg.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a square and serious face, wearing the official uniform of a county magistrate. He held the gavel in his right hand, his eyebrows were dark and shining, and he had an aura that was not angry but powerful.
My legs are sore again.
You really can't blame him. He hasn't knelt since he was born. Now he not only has to kneel, but he has to kneel for such a long time. It's strange that he's not tired.
After twisting and twisting, I finally found a kneeling position that felt natural and good, with my butt completely sitting on my two feet, and my body's center of gravity also shifted back.
Haha, not to mention that this yoga sitting posture is really useful. I am really grateful to Mu Qingyi for forcing herself to do yoga with her on weekdays.
Thinking of Mu Qingyi, Qin Shaobai couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
Does this woman he is going to marry as his wife know that he has traveled to 800 years ago?
"Mr. Qingtian." Mother Wang was already lamenting her injustice, "This Qin Shaobai clearly came to my house yesterday and sold his daughter to me. Who knew he would go back on his word today and even beat me up?
Already."
"Qin Shaobai, what Mother Wang said is true." The man in the hall said Hong Yin again.
Qin Shaobai took a guess. Judging from his facial features, the county magistrate should be a sensible person, and would not openly support the selling of children and daughters in the lobby.
So, he shook his head.
Afraid that the master in the hall wouldn't believe it, he added: "Sir, as the saying goes, a tiger's venom can't even eat its seeds. Although I, Qin Shaobai, am a poor man, I am a conscientious person. How could I possibly sell my own?"
Biological daughter."
The audience listening to the trial outside the hall burst into laughter.
Qin Shaobai thought they were agreeing with his statement, so he turned around and clasped his fists to express his gratitude.
"Qin Laojiu, you are willing to sell your own life for wine, why do you still care about your daughter?"
"That's right, last time you borrowed money from me for gambling, if you hadn't been lucky, you would have sold your wife to me to pay off the debt."
"Didn't you say that the Qin family's sister-in-law is missing? I think she was probably sold by this Qin Laojiu."
Damn it, Qin Shaobai didn't expect that his host would be such a person. He was simply a scumbag with no humanity.
If he hadn't been this scumbag now, he would have beaten this scumbag half to death.
As soon as the alarm sounded, the audience fell silent. Qin Shaobai was also frightened and trembled. He lifted his buttocks from his feet and knelt down properly.
"Qin Shaobai, let me ask you again, is what Mother Wang said true?"
"Sir, that's not true." Qin Shaobai thought clearly. He must save the host from the evil deeds he had done, and the first thing to do was to save Xiaowan.
"Then what happened to the deed of betrayal in Mother Wang's hand?"
"Sir, everyone knows that a transaction is one purchase and one sale, and the goods and silver are cleared. If I really sold my daughter yesterday, I should have taken her to Yihongyuan and sold her body in one hand and the silver in the other, right?
"
Qin Shaobai found that he was quite righteous in his strong words. Sure enough, the man in the hall nodded and asked Mother Wang: "Mother Wang, why didn't you send someone to Qin's house to pick up Qin Xiaowan last night?"
"Sir, he was drunk at the time and his whole body stinked. I thought it would be good to pick up Xiaowan today." Mother Wang said, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, like Qin
There was also an unbearable stench coming from Shaobai's body.
"Sir, you heard it. Mother Wang also said that I was very drunk last night. What this man did when he was drunk is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously at all." Qin Shaobai said.
Then he raised his fist to the audience outside and said, "Folks, especially the gentlemen, you tell me, right?"
There was a burst of laughter outside the door.
"What, there is your fingerprint here." Mother Wang pointed to the deed of betrayal presented to her.
The old man in the hall looked down and frowned.
"Excuse me, Sir, when a guilty person pleads guilty, he also signs and stamps it. The signature is in front and the stamp is at the back. I can obviously write, so why do I put a fingerprint on the deed of sale? It can be seen that the fingerprint is from Mother Wang holding me.
It was covered up by force."
"Qin Shaobai, you don't know a single Chinese character, how can you sign?" Mother Wang straightened up, her face full of contempt.
"Oh? Mother Wang, do you mean that if I can write and can write the three characters "Qin Shaobai", you will admit that this deed of sale was not made by me?"
"Of course, Qin Shaobai, you don't know how many things you have sold to me, and how many times have you not put a fingerprint on it? If you can write, I, I will pretend that this never happened."
"Okay, let me ask the eldest gentleman in the hall and all the folks outside the hall to testify. I, Qin Shaobai, am here to prove that all this is just a trick of Mother Wang. She has always wanted to drag my Xiaowan into the pit of fire while I was drunk.
They tricked me into taking fingerprints."
But don’t even forget how to write the words.
No one was booing outside the door. They all looked at Qin Shaobai with surprised eyes. They really didn't understand how Qin Shaobai, who used to be like a pile of mud, could say such powerful and well-spoken words.
"Then it's settled." The elder in the hall waved his hand, and the master came over holding a piece of white paper.
Qin Shaobai picked up the writing brush, but he was not in a hurry to write. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Sir, can you give me a glass of water?"
The old man in the hall hesitated for a moment, then waved and asked for another glass of water.
Qin Shaobai washed his hands with the water, thought for a while, wiped the water on his ragged clothes, and picked up the brush.
After brushing and brushing, three majestic words appeared on the paper.
"Good word, this is Zhang Xu's wild grass. It really has the true meaning of the grass saint. It's wonderful, it's really wonderful." Someone outside the hall cheered loudly.
"Master Song, this is Master Song, the executioner." There was a commotion in the crowd, and then they automatically made way for a middle-aged man wearing a fourth-grade official uniform to walk in.
He stared at the three words written by Qin Shaobai and laughed out loud: "A person who can write such majestic words must have a broad mind. Song Ci believes that Qin Shaobai definitely did not sell his son or daughter for exchange.
A person with a glass of sake. God has the virtue of good life, and everyone makes mistakes sometimes. If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
When Song Tixing said this, Mr. Li in the hall naturally picked up a step and retreated down.
"Mother Wang, now Qin Shaobai has proven that he can write, and you two have indeed failed to pay for everything. He was drunk at the time. The most important thing is that he now wants to protect his daughter Xiaowan. This is a human nature.
The kindness of my parents deserves to be commended. I have judged that the transaction between you, Yihongyuan, and Qin Shaobai is invalid."
"Okay, if Qin Shaobai can protect Xiaowan well, I will be happy to do a good deed." Mother Wang said, throwing away her sleeves.
"Qin Shaobai, although I can save your daughter this time, you are the one who can really protect your daughter. Therefore, I have ordered that you must stop drinking. Otherwise, I will severely punish you."
While Qin Shaobai imitated those who were exonerated in TV dramas and thanked him, he stared at Song Ci who was sitting beside him.
Song Ci, this man with a face as white as jade and a warm smile, turned out to be Song Ci, the chief executioner of the Song Dynasty.
Wow, Qin Shaobai, you are so lucky to be together with your idol from eight hundred years ago.
Although this court is not that court, as long as it is within a short distance, it doesn't matter whether it is a court or a lobby.
