Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

On the second day after returning from the Guo Mansion, Lin Ze spent a whole day at home pondering the contents of the pleadings and the expected situation.

And Zhang Yu, who was running around outside, lived up to expectations and helped find a large group of villagers. These are the important assists in this lawsuit.

Lin Ze was very pleased that his vision was correct.

Although Ah Yu is quiet and well-behaved on weekdays, she looks quiet and harmless like a little white rabbit, but she is absolutely unambiguous in her actions.

The conditions he offered for help were attractive, but they couldn’t stand up to the original body’s bad reputation in the past. Except for Li Guangcai who begged him to be a husband, most people asked him to beg others, and even others didn’t necessarily do it. I’m afraid Mr. Zi didn’t choose the right one to follow Mr. reputation was compromised.

However, Zhang Yu has a good image in the village. If the Zhang family hadn't used him to replace Zhang Yinzhu to complete the Lin family's marriage contract, many families in the surrounding villages wanted to marry him.

So after Zhang Yu's hard work persuading the request, and hearing that Lin Ze went back to the Yamen to sue in order to 'reverse the case' and clear up the stigma he had carried over the years, the villagers agreed to go and help with it after consideration. witness.

Anyway, it's okay to witness, but to intercede, we will see the situation of the yamen's lawsuit.

In addition, there is Zheng Xiaoluo next to him, don't look at this little brother as stupid, but stupid people have stupid blessings, it is this image that makes people even more unsuspecting.

With the hard work of the two young brothers, most of the villagers in the surrounding villages of Heba Village agreed.

The main problem is the people in Heba Village.

It’s not that the villagers in Heba Village have no conscience, but that Lin Ze’s reversal of the case involves Lin Jianwen. Heba Village has never had any characters since its existence. The clan is now counting on Lin Jianwen. If Lin Zezhen tells Lin Jianwen the result One can imagine.

What's more important is that if the news of brothers suing brothers spreads, what will others think of the atmosphere in Heba Village in the future?

So upon hearing the news, the village chief Li Laofu, several clan elders, and Lin Sangui all rushed over, with the purpose of persuading Lin Ze to give up the case and focus on the overall situation.

I also wondered in my heart that when Lin Ze separated last time, didn't he not pursue the past matters?Why now I want to find out again, and I have to go to the Yamen to sue.

"Uncle Village Chief, I didn't want to bring up the past to bring up the reputation of the village, but this time I had to do so."

Lin Ze calmly sells miserably,

"What happened back then was not only about me alone, but also related to Mrs. Wei's daughter. Ms. Wei was implicated and her marriage was unsatisfactory. At this time, she can only cooperate if she wants to pursue it. Otherwise, she will go to the yamen to sue me. When the time comes, I will have nothing to say." Can't tell..."

"As for my second brother, the cycle of karma, people are doing it, and the sky is watching. I let him go once, but I can't do anything if other people don't allow it."

The last sentence is obviously a tough attitude, no oil and salt.

Li Laofu and the others were so blocked that they could not speak, nor could they refute.

Lin Ze made it very clear that what happened this time was not that Lin Ze wanted to turn over, but that Miss Wei who was implicated together at the beginning, they could persuade Lin Ze, but no one could stop Miss Wei, no matter what, the case back then It's settled.

What's more, Lin Ze's downfall to the present end was all caused by Chen Shuju's mother and son. No one can blame Lin Ze for having resentment in his heart.

"Forget it, we in Heba Village are unlucky after all..."

Li Laofu sighed, and the elders of several clans also sighed.

Lin Ze didn't want to be too forceful. Although Li Laofu and others were not completely fair, they were still reasonable. Otherwise, the head of a village and the elders of the clan would definitely force him to take the blame.

As a member of Heba Village, I can't patronize myself. After thinking about it, Lin Ze continued,

"Uncle Village Chief, Lin Ze knows that he is going to be strong, and it is Lin Ze's fault that he caused the village's reputation. If I can clear up my grievances this time, I will set up a private school. When the children in our village come to school, I will only charge half of Shu Xiu. , can also be regarded as Lin Ze doing his part for the village..."

Li Laofu and others felt much better when they heard this, and they were not so conflicted about Lin Ze going to the Yamen to overturn the case.

Losing the hope of one Lin Jianwen, in exchange for the future of the whole village's children, this deal is quite cost-effective.

And if the people in the village knew the news, they would probably be more willing to choose Lin Ze's side. After all, how could their own children pass the imperial examination if they passed the imperial examination?

The only one who was in a complicated mood was Lin Sangui, who stood by and didn't speak from the beginning to the end.

Why, because he didn't know what to say, he naturally agreed with the eldest son to reverse the case and clear his grievances, but the problem was that the elder son sued his second son, which was very embarrassing.

Although Lin Ze's status is more important in his heart, Lin Jianwen is also his own, which makes Lin Sangui really don't know what to do.

"Forget it, dad knows you have resentment in your heart, dad doesn't blame you, just leave a way for your brother when the time comes, he is now like this, it's all dad's fault, it's dad who ignored him, that made Shuju put the child away Taught like this..."

In the end, Lin Sangui couldn't say anything to dissuade him.

He is clear about the grievances suffered by the eldest son, and he deserves what happens to the second son, but he, the father, is full of remorse and guilt.

It's all because he, the father, was so negligent that the ignorant daughter-in-law taught the children such behaviors, which made the brothers turn against each other and made the family restless.

Father Lin's hair, who is less than fifty, is almost gray.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Lin Ze couldn't comfort him. If the original body knew the truth, he would definitely make the same choice as him.

Covering up and conniving is never the solution, it will only make the perpetrators get bigger and bigger, Father Lin needs to accept the reality.

What's more, it's not sure whether Lin Jianwen can be chopped to death with a single knife this time. This person is extremely cunning, he never does things by himself, and there is no real reason for anyone to catch him.

But it doesn't matter, even if he can't kill him this time, he will have to let Lin Jianwen scrape off a layer of skin and ruin his reputation!

******

All the preparations were made, and Lin Ze brought people to the county to sue with great fanfare in the early morning of the third day.

Because some of the villagers who came to help 'witness' this time are elderly, these people are purely curious and want to follow the fun, Lin Ze is afraid that there will be too many people on the road and it will be difficult to walk, and if something happens to these old people, big things will happen So I hired a few bullock carts for people to sit on.

In addition, we also prepared steamed buns for breakfast, the purpose is naturally to win people's hearts.

After all, the county government is in the county seat, and it takes two or three hours to walk from here. Tiredness will make people feel bad. When the enthusiasm of the villagers is wiped out, all that remains is dissatisfaction with him.

This is the basic concept of being tactful in dealing with things. When you ask for help, you have to show a good posture.

I have to say that Lin Ze's generosity and thoughtfulness have indeed won everyone's favor. There were still many people who were hesitant because of his previous reputation. Take a risk.

Lin Jianwen, who was on the same road, was so depressed that he didn't know how his stupid brother suddenly became so smart.

The heart is also heavier. Although the person Lin Ze sued did not write him clearly, he just named him a "suspect". He is not afraid of being convicted, but according to Lin Ze's current state, he will definitely not Let him go easily.

He used to disdain his idiot brother at all, but now he can't figure out Lin Ze, and can only watch Lin Ze helplessly, feeling uneasy.

Of course, Lin Jianwen is not the kind of person who is stupid and waits to be beaten. Lin Ze will use public opinion, and he will too, so Lin Jianwen endured his temper and continued to pretend to be "brothers and friends" on the way there.

Not worried about his name as a "suspect" at all, he turned around like a good brother and asked the villagers respectfully and indignantly to help his elder brother as a "witness".

Lin Ze admired this kind of patience, but Lin Jianwen's level of cultivation was not enough for him.

He happily watched Lin Jianwen perform all the way, and when he reached the gate of the county, Lin Ze patted his clothes and gave Lin Jianwen an acting class with a "great kindness".

Wiping the onion on his eyes, Lin Ze knelt down and bowed to the ground in front of everyone, fully explaining what it means that a man has no gold under his knees!

Don't talk about Lin Jianwen, even He Xiangfeng is stupid. Lin Ze didn't discuss this scene with him when he went to the gate of the county seat and knelt...

Only Zhang Yu, who had colluded with Lin Ze early, realized that he ran to Lin Ze and knelt down with him, and then knelt down and shouted, "I beg the county master to avenge my husband!".

Originally, Lin Ze planned to do this by himself, but he is the soul of modern times. Even if he integrates the memory of his original body to adapt to the ancient times, it is difficult to change his way of thinking. If he shouts, Lin Ze will inevitably be a scholar People will make a fuss about it in the future.

As soon as Zhang Yu heard about his plan, he immediately took the matter onto himself. The woman and husband who cried and shouted at most were said to be harsh, and the others would not have much impact.

So the couple knelt down and shouted, which immediately attracted all the passers-by at the gate of the county seat.

Afterwards, Lin Ze didn't get up either. He spent three steps, one kneeling, and nine steps, one knocking. The massacre was as if the whole family had been killed. The massacre directly attracted the attention of the entire Qingshan county.

When the county magistrate Wang came out to open the yamen, he almost died of fright when he saw the crowd of onlookers at the door.

Qingshan County is not a big county, but it is still in the middle of the county. There are seven or eight small towns under its jurisdiction. There have been many cases, but it is the first one that has caused such a big disturbance like Lin Ze.

Even if County Magistrate Wang saw the market again, he couldn't calm down while staring at the dark crowd, and when he saw Lin Ze who was kneeling and shouting for grievances, he was still wearing a jade pendant with the identity of a scholar.

To be able to mix until now and still be promoted from a young county magistrate to wait for transfer, County Magistrate Wang naturally has the means and brains.

Although he was very unhappy with Lin Ze who made such a battle, but facing so many people coming to the county government, if he didn't deal with it impartially, he would just wait to be caught and thrown off his black hat!

"Move the hall to the city, gather the crowd to start the trial!"

The county magistrate Wang made a decision immediately, and decided to establish an image of "clean government and impartiality" on the eve of his transfer.

When the people outside the yamen heard this, they immediately became excited.

The rule of gathering crowds for trial in downtown areas was specially promulgated by the current emperor of Daji in order to win the hearts of the people, in order to prevent unjust cases of officials in remote places dereliction of duty, and to give the common people a privileged way to redress their grievances, which is directly comparable to "suing an imperial court".

It's just that most of the people are afraid of being retaliated against for a while after they relieve their anger. It's not because of endless hatred that almost no one will force officials to do this. Qingshan County has never had any tragedies, so there is no need for it.

Now the magistrate of Wang County has ordered a trial in the downtown area. How can this not excite the people who watch the excitement? It is a rare "adventure" in decades!

This is also the reason why Lin Ze dared to be so courageous. Whoever is not sure who rushes forward is a fool.
