Fox Road Travel Notes

After the public case, the county magistrate had already drank three bowls of tea and took time to go to the toilet.

Now, the old god is still sitting on the ground, looking full of energy.

Seeing that the noise below finally stopped, he raised his head and took a slow sip of tea.

"Well, why don't you make any noise?"

"Master, I haven't heard clearly yet, who is more reasonable!"

"Keep going. If you don't understand the quarrel today, I will issue a signature for you to come tomorrow."

"Master, I have plenty of time. Let's argue until we can figure out who is right and who is wrong..."

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in shock. How could anyone solve the case like this?

An old man with a horse-face opened his mouth, but was too hoarse to speak. He pointed at the other person and just coughed.

The official smiled and said, "Can't you make more noise?"

The ancients said that the plan for a year begins in spring and the plan for a day begins in the morning. "

"You guys spend all day arguing in the Yamen over trivial matters."

"Aren't the crops in the fields left alone?"

"Don't you want to feed the cattle and sheep at home?"

"Besides, they say distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors."

"Your ancestors, children and grandchildren have all been neighbors, and you will still be neighbors in the future. For this matter, do you want to have a deadly feud from generation to generation?"

"If you have an emergency in the future, who can you expect to come to your aid?"

"Master, I didn't pronounce the sentence in court yesterday. I asked you to go back and think about it all night. I just wanted you to let go of your obsessions and resolve your grudges."

"As a result, you all don't understand my hard work and are here to cause trouble again today."

"As a fire sign, won't I be able to hit people?..."

Everyone in the hall was horrified and bowed their heads in silence.

Chen Zican nodded secretly. It seemed that his eldest brother, whom he had never met before, was really capable and was a good official.

He is not the kind of mediocre and incompetent person who is stupid because of reading.

He cleared his throat and said loudly to the pile of cows: "We belong to the same village, and we share the same breath. When two cows touch each other, they will die together. The dead will eat together, and the living will farm together!"

Then he said to the group of geese hunting: "We have been neighbors for several generations, separated by a fence. The geese have flat beaks and don't eat much seedlings. The owner of the goose pays for the seedlings, and the owner of the seedlings compensates for the goose. Everyone is happy, isn't it happy?"

Everyone listening to the trial at the Yamen Gate clapped their hands and laughed.

He said repeatedly: "What this young man said is reasonable and his judgment is clear, so just follow him..."

The officials in the hall were stunned and shouted: "Who is making noise in the hall?"

"Catch him!"

The two yamen servants trembled, woke up from their drowsiness, and ran down quickly.

Chen Zican walked into the lobby with a smile, holding the button with one hand and holding the big cock in the other.

He didn't kneel down and bowed: "Brother, it's me, Zican, coming to see you."

Chen Zifu was stunned for a moment and squinted his eyes to take a closer look.

How could he not know the virtues of his stupid brother?

At first glance, this young man with a free and easy manner and a calm attitude cannot be connected with his chaotic and naive younger brother.

Kuan'er appeared from behind Chen Zican and said, "Kuan'er pays homage to the young master..."

He wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but Chen Zican held him back.

In his outlook on life, no one is inferior to anyone else.

From crawling on all fours to walking upright, it takes countless years and hardships.

Now that you have stood up, you cannot lie down easily.

Because, standing upright, this is the legacy left to us by our ancestors.

It was they who fought hard to gain our dignity as human beings.

The only ones who can make us kneel down are those ancestors who have fallen asleep.

Chen Zifu didn't notice this. Only when he saw Kuan'er did he believe that everything in front of him was true.

He stood up suddenly and walked quickly down the hall.

Holding Chen Zican's shoulders, he asked him to raise his head, looked at it carefully, and murmured: "It's Zican, it's really Zican!"

"Well, I've grown taller and lost weight. How come you..."

He wanted to ask his brother how he suddenly regained consciousness after being stupid for so many years, but he didn't know how to speak in public.

In his memory, Zican was lively and cute when he was young, running around behind him all day long, like a little tail.

When he was four years old, he had already learned to write and draw, and could recite thirty or forty ancient poems. Everyone praised him for his intelligence.

However, in the Jiashen year, the Qing army entered the customs, and the family suffered great changes.

Because he clung to his mother's waist and refused to let go, he was hit with a scabbard on the back of his head.

Although he was lucky enough to save his life, he fell into a stupid problem from then on...

Chen Zican looked at his elder brother, and the surprise that came from his heart made him feel warm.

Although, he had no impression of this face at all.

But the feeling of blood connection still reminded him that these were his relatives!

Chen Zican smiled and called "Brother".

Chen Zifu suddenly realized that he was still in court.

As the Bailihou of this era, he has unquestionable power, prestige and responsibility in this land of Xiuwu County.

He smiled at Chen Zican, coughed slightly, and a class leader immediately came over.

He whispered: "Take the second young master to the back hall to have a rest. I will come right away!"

Chen Zican shook his head and said, "Brother, you are busy with your business."

"I'll look around and wait for you."

Chen Zifu waved his hand, and the class leader took him to stand beside him.

After Chen Zifu returned to the public case, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the hall, do you have anything else to say?"

The cow hunter and the goose hunter looked at each other, communicated with each other for a moment, and then kowtowed at the same time.

"This young master has made a clear decision, and the people are convinced!"

"Just do as he says, go back and live a peaceful life, and stop fighting..."

They also understood just now that if this matter continues, it will only hurt both sides and hurt the harmony of the neighbors.

Speaking of which, they all live in the same village for generations, and they are not related to each other.

Breaking bones and connecting tendons, it was too unseemly to make people point and laugh.

Originally, the purpose of this lawsuit was to fight for reputation without steaming the steamed buns.

And Chen Zican's method was very fair and reasonable.

It doesn't matter whether the lawsuit is won or lost, it's really good for both parties to have a step forward.

Chen Zifu nodded and ordered the yamen servant: "Send this matter to the district chief to supervise the handling. The document must be submitted within ten days. It must be fair!"

I brushed my hands and wrote a few sentences on the official document.

Use the seal to order both parties to sign.

Chen Zican stretched out his head and saw that dragons and phoenixes were dancing on the paper, but what he wrote were his jingles.

He shrank his neck and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

My eldest brother has only been in the official career for two years, but he has become an old official!

After leaving the office, Chen Zifu led his younger brother to the back hall and sat down.

After briefly talking about the cold and the temperature, I called my maid and asked Mrs. Zheng to come out and meet me.

Chen Zican, the sister-in-law, was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang.

It was a noble clan that had truly stood for thousands of years and never fell. His father was currently the prefect of Fengxiang.

As a new Jinshi, Chen Zifu was able to choose the seventh-grade official seal in this place close to Zhili, thanks to the help of her family.

The life environment of being bossy and pampered since childhood made Zheng's character quite arrogant.

Besides, marrying Chen Zifu was already a huge injustice to her.

Thanks to her husband's elegant temperament and his willingness to let her do everything, she could barely get by.

At this time, she heard that her husband's silly brother, with a little girl, suddenly came to her home all the way from the capital.

I was also surprised.
