Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Now several counties are governed together, and Liang Kuan, Chang Daoyan and Wang Songbai are responsible for different things respectively.

The three were called in when they were sitting together for a meeting. On the way, they learned the reason from the guards and also knew her temper. After arriving, they exchanged a few pleasantries and then immediately began the trial.

The three of them had already discussed it on the way and decided that Liang Kuan would be the presiding judge and the other two would be deputy judges.

"Mr. Lin, I want to ask you, do you know the person next to you?" Liang Kuan was referring to Shen Conglian.

Lin was a servant who was sold to the Shen family to work, and was also the wife of the person who filed the lawsuit.

"Sir, I know him. He is the second master of the Shen family."

If Shen Conglian hadn't been afraid of his niece's feelings and hadn't suppressed his anger, he would have rushed up and hit someone when he saw Lin.

At this time, his face was dark and he stared at Lin with murderous eyes.

Liang Kuan: "Shen Conglian, do you know the woman next to you?"

Shen Conglian snorted coldly: "Shameless bitch, I can recognize her even if she turned into ashes!"

Liang Kuan pointed at the people who had made the complaint and asked them to identify themselves.

"Do you know him?"

Lin: "He is the husband of a commoner girl."

Shen Conglian continued to sneer: "They are a bunch of snakes and rats!"

Liang Kuan quickly glanced at Shen Lanxi and slapped the table with his hand.

"Answer me properly!"

Shen Conglian shuddered and said reluctantly, "Yes, they are husband and wife!"

Liang Kuan: "They are suing you for forcibly taking someone's wife. Do you have any objection?"

Before Shen Conglian could reply, Liu shouted, "When our family bought her, we registered it with the government."

Liang Kuan: "No one who is not involved should interrupt unless someone is asked a question. If you do this again, you will be slapped in the face or punished with a cane!"

Liu was so scared that she quickly hid behind her daughter.

The plaintiff cried out in protest: "Sir, you can't just take my wife away and beat her up just because I sold her to them as a servant. My wife was only sold to them to work, not to them to kill her!"

The filing officer at the government office came forward and presented the document signed by Lin. As the servant had signed a death indenture, according to the law the master could pawn or dispose of him at will.

However, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty also state that even if a servant has been pawned with a death contract, he cannot be beaten or killed at will, and if someone dies, the case will be brought to the court.

After Liang Kuan checked the document, he put it aside.

"Lin, please describe the scene of that day in detail again!"

Lin was embarrassed: "Sir, I am too embarrassed to speak up in public!"

Wang Songbai looked up. It was getting dark. His lord hated it most when people spoke hesitantly and pretentiously.

"If you don't want to talk, forget it. We'll listen to Shen Conglian. If he says something wrong, don't interrupt. If you interrupt, I'll kill you with a stick!"

Lin was stunned for a moment, and could no longer care about anything else, so she hurriedly said, "Sir, I was cleaning Master Shen's room that day, and Master Shen came in drunk, first lying down for a while, and then he pulled me to the couch."

Having said that, the following words are self-evident. Lin covered her face and cried bitterly.

Wang Songbai: "That's it. Next time when the adults ask you questions, just answer them directly. Don't hesitate and waste everyone's time!"

Liang Kuan twitched his lips and glanced at Shen Lanxi cautiously. Seeing that she was not dissatisfied, he continued to ask: "Shen Conglian, is what Lin said the truth?"

Seeing that he was finally allowed to speak, Shen Conglian quickly retorted: "No, I didn't. How could I like her if she looked like this? I have three concubines in my room, and they are all as beautiful as flowers!"

Liu pushed her third concubine forward with a dark face. She didn't expect that these maids didn't serve her son, but instead benefited the father.

Thinking of it, she felt like a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it blocked and painful!

"My lord, everyone around here, look, this is my third concubine, any one of them is better than her!"

Lin said with a face full of grievance: "Before, the old lady saw that I was pitiful and I was from the same hometown as her family, so she specially arranged me in the adults' room, just to let the adults accept me."

When Old Madam Shen in the crowd heard what Lin said, her eyes went dark, her blood boiled, and she almost vomited blood.

What sin had she committed? Wasn't it just because she felt sorry for the woman? She never thought that she would end up harming her own son!

"Mother, quickly get a stool for her to sit on!" The Shen family was frightened when they saw that the old lady looked like she was about to faint at any time, and they hurriedly looked for stools or hot tea.

Shen Conglian was also anxious, but he couldn't go there until he had found out the truth.

"Sir, my mother was also deceived by her. This woman is good at pretending to be pitiful and took advantage of my mother's status as a fellow villager, so my mother took care of her a little. As for what she said, my mother asked me to take her in. There is no such thing!"

Lin kept wiping away tears: "Master, I will take good care of myself for a few months, and I will definitely not be worse than those concubines in appearance. Please don't despise me, Master."

Shen Conglian was about to curse again, but was stopped by Chang Daoyan.

"You said Shen Conglian came home that day, reeking of alcohol. Is that true?"

Lin nodded: "It is true."

Chang Daoyan then asked the accuser, "Are you sure too?"

The person who brought the case: "Yes, Lin said that Mr. Shen was drunk that day."

Chang Daoyan looked at Shen Conglian again: "Did you drink that day?"

Shen Conglian flatly denied: "How is that possible? I am in charge of recruiting soldiers. How could I possibly drink? Alcohol is prohibited in the army!"

Lin's eyes flashed, and she said, "I asked the Shen family. Mr. Shen used to like drinking. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would have a couple of drinks."

Shen Conglian stamped his feet in anger: "I want to drink, but I have to get it!"

Lin was stunned.

Chang Daoyan smiled mysteriously and said that it was understandable that Liang Kuan and Wang Songbai didn't know about the situation. Among the three of them, he was the only one who had been in charge of recruiting soldiers.

"Lin, alcohol is prohibited in the garrison. Just as Shen Conglian said, he can't get it even if he wants to!"

A flash of panic flashed across Lin's eyes: "Sir, if I can't drink in the army, can't I get a drink in the tavern in the city? People who are addicted to alcohol can go back and find wine whenever they have free time." If you don't drink for a day, the alcohol bug in your stomach will start to act up.

These words were said by her father, a scholar.

Shen Conglian couldn't help it and kicked Lin to the ground.

"You're talking nonsense. I came home from the garrison with people around me, and they can all testify for me. As for the wine you mentioned, it must be the medicinal wine I used to rub my sprain during training!"

And the most important thing.

"Now all the strong liquor in the city has been bought up by the medical account to make medicinal wine. Where the hell can I drink it? And you're still drunk. I swear to hell with you!" Apart from the military laws that Shen Conglian learned the most in the past few months in the guard post, what he learned the most was the soldiers' swearing.

I used to think it was vulgar, but after actually saying it out loud I realized how satisfying it was!

Lin was dumbfounded. How could it be possible? He reeked of alcohol that day.

Shen Conglian saw a turning point, and the huge stone in his heart fell to the ground, leaving only anger.

"Sir, I took a rest with several soldiers from Hongliutun that day. We walked all the way from the guard post to Hongliutun, and then we separated in Hongliutun. After that, I returned home. When I separated from them, someone in the village saw me, and they can also testify for me."

Shen Conglian became more and more eloquent as he spoke, and said with a smile: "When we left the garrison, there were pedestrians on the road. Even in the taverns in the city, they all asked me if I had been drinking!"
