Mo Wangchu angrily scolded: "That's nonsense! Even if I'm blind, I wouldn't fall in love with a waste like you!"
The young man in rich clothes said: "I know you are rich and you don't like me anymore. You are a bitch. I am the only one who still thinks about our relationship back then..."
Han Liuguang took a step forward and said, "You said she is your runaway concubine?"
The man didn't look at who asked the question and said without hesitation: "Exactly!"
Mo Wangchu turned around and saw him, and his face turned pale. Han Liuguang stepped forward steadily and stood between the two of them: "Then do you want to report to the official?"
The young man in fine clothes saw clearly that he was wearing an official robe. He was startled and stepped back.
He couldn't tell which grade the official robe belonged to, so he wiped his face hurriedly and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, my lord, my brother is the disciple of Duke Qing, and we are all our own people."
Han Liuguang said calmly: "Really? That's a coincidence. I just came out of the Duke's place."
"Yes, yes," the young man in fine clothes did not dare to look at him: "I am one of my own, my own."
Han Liuguang still looked calm: "So, you said she is your runaway concubine, do you want to report her to the official?"
The young man in colorful clothes thought he had received a hint: "Yes, yes, I want to report to the official!"
Mo Wangchu trembled slightly, and the half-grown child said anxiously: "No! My sister doesn't even know him!"
Han Liuguang did not turn around, only said: "You said she is your runaway concubine, then when did you give her the betrothal gift, when did you accept her as a bride, and when did you go to the Yamen to handle it? Who can prove it?"
The young man in fine clothes was stunned, and Han Liuguang continued: "I am Han Xun, the prefect of Jiangning. If you send in all the witnesses and material evidence, I will make the decision for you!"
The young man in colorful clothes murmured: "I am...I am..."
At this moment, the Tongzhi of the Outer Government Office rushed in with a group of people and saluted: "Sir, I heard that your Excellency is trying the case in the street, so I'm waiting for you to come here."
Hallyu was silent for a moment.
This attitude of not taking things too seriously is definitely the work of Tang Shijin, and this kind of attentive attitude is unprecedented.
But he still nodded, and then the clerk quickly sat down and prepared to record.
This posture frightened the young man in fine clothes so much that his legs went weak, and he knelt down on the ground.
Han Liuguang said: "To answer my question, when did you give her the betrothal gift, when did you accept her as a bride, and when did you go to the Yamen to handle it? Who can prove it?"
Na Tongzhi shouted: "My lord, you are asking a question! Why don't you answer it quickly!"
The young man in fine clothes is none other than Xie Buyu's elder brother Xie Liu. No matter how uneducated he is, he also knows that when asked in court, he cannot speak casually.
He could only say: "I... Sir, the common people have always admired Mo Xiaoniang, and they had a tacit understanding with her father before. Unexpectedly, we all agreed, but before we could say goodbye, my uncle died...
…”
Mo Wangchu quickly came over and knelt down, kowtowing: "Sir! This is absolutely not the case! My father loved the women of the people very much during his lifetime, and this man did everything from eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. He did come to the door before, and then he was kicked out by his father.
, all the neighbors can testify!”
Han Liuguang nodded and looked at Xie Liu: "Is what she said true?"
Xie Liu's eyes rolled around: "That, that's just a misunderstanding..."
Han Liuguang said: "If you don't admit it, please come and find the neighbors of the Mo family to come and testify!"
"My lord!"
Han Liuguang shouted angrily: "How presumptuous! When a prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Even if you know Duke Qing, it is not a reason for you to act recklessly! Now when I ask questions, please don't ramble!"
He shouted again and asked: "So, you have nothing to do with Mr. Mo, but you are just out of your own selfish reasons, pretending to be crazy through drinking, and deliberately ruining Mr. Mo's reputation?"
He shouted: "Isn't that right?"
Xie Liu said anxiously: "The common people were confused for a moment! The common people just admire Mo Xiaoniang..."
Han Liuguang said coldly: "If everyone in the world is like you, who admires a young lady and fails to propose marriage, then they will harass the young lady in the street and ruin her reputation with dirty words, forcing her to marry you...then...
A beggar can also marry a noble girl!"
In a restaurant not far away, Tang Shijin was standing on the second floor watching the excitement and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
It seems that Bookworm Han is not just a bookworm either!
These words were very sharp, and the emotions of the crowd were aroused at that time.
Yes, a woman's reputation cannot withstand slander. If everyone is like him and will be ruined if they can't marry, then wouldn't the daughters of every family have no choice but to marry scoundrels?
There was a lot of discussion for a while.
Han Liuguang said coldly: "A woman's reputation does not allow a scoundrel like you to talk nonsense! Since you have admitted your crime, I will slap you ten times as a warning to others!"
Xie Liu said anxiously: "Sir, spare my life!"
These days, when officials try cases, they are more casual in every aspect. They use torture when they are told and slap on the stick when they are told. So they slapped him ten times.
Immediately there was a lot of crying and howling.
After hitting the board, Xie Liu fell to the ground. Han Liuguang said coldly: "From now on, be careful with your words and actions, and don't do it again! Remember it!"
Xie Liu said anxiously: "Yes, yes, I remember you, sir."
Someone jumped over and said coldly: "What kind of bullshit do you dare to pull my master's banner?"
Han Liuguang was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle."
Qi Yaoling was also wearing official uniform and had just returned from outside. Because a large group of people were stuck here and could not go back to the house, he listened for half the time.
He took a step forward and stepped on Xie Liu's wound. Xie Liu screamed, kicked his legs and fainted.
The onlookers trembled.
Qi Yaoling raised his foot and turned the man over, then kicked him on the chest. Xie Liu screamed again and woke up from the pain.
Qi Yaoling looked down at him condescendingly and said coldly: "Who gave you the courage to do such a messy thing in the name of my master?"
Xie Liu was so frightened that his whole body trembled: "I, I don't dare to do it anymore, I don't do it anymore!"
Qi Yaoling snorted coldly and said loudly: "When my junior brother accepts a disciple, he only accepts one person, not his whole family. In the future, there will be some bullshit relatives like this who can't be beaten by eight poles, holding the banner of my master outside."
Anyone who does bad things can go to our house and file a complaint without bothering the officials. My master will be the first to let him go!"
He turned around and walked out, then stopped and said, "Even if we ourselves have done something illegal, we can still sue him!"
He turned over and jumped on the horse, and the crowd moved out of the way.
Han Liuguang handed over to everyone: "Everyone, the Duke of Guo has brought good breeds of silkworms. He cares about the people and has rules for doing things. The Duke of Guo does not accept apprentices at will. Their character and ability are all above the standard, so if there are any more
If you use the name of a duke to do illegal things, there must be something fishy about it. You can come and complain, but if you don’t dare to accept it, come to my magistrate’s office and I will answer you."
The crowd was in an uproar.
Han Liuguang pointed at Xie Liu who had fainted: "Send him back and let everyone disperse."
