After everything was arranged, the people from the yamen also came. Besides the yamen, the county magistrate also came in person. If someone died, and it was Chinese New Year, the county magistrate also had to go there himself.

When they came, everyone knelt on the ground, and the village chief asked someone to move a chair for the county magistrate to sit on, and then let the kneeling people get up and go about their own business.

There is a mourning hall here, which is not a suitable place to handle the case. The village chief called Lin Yi's family, Liu Shuang and all the children of the Lin family to the county magistrate, and turned to the side to let Liu Shuang explain the matter clearly.

When the county magistrate saw Lin Yi, he felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that it was their family who had accidents in this village, and now they are killing people.

"Tell me, what's going on." The county magistrate's tone was not good.

Liu Shuang knelt down and tremblingly said what he had said before, and the county magistrate's expression became even worse after hearing it, "Bold Liu Shuang, to leave his aunt outside the door without asking for a night, such actions are really a shame. Unfilial person, I will definitely not let you off lightly!"

"The county magistrate, please forgive me, the county magistrate, please forgive me. It's really not that the villain doesn't care about it. It's because he refuses to come in. The villain will sit under the eaves for a long time before entering the house. The villain I thought he would go back to the house after sitting for a while like before, the villain really didn't expect it!" Liu Shuang cried out for himself.

But Lin Yi and the others didn't know what they said before. Sun Xiu often sat under the eaves recently?

They don't come to the village very often, but they really don't know about it.

Lin Yi turned to look at the village head, wanting to ask him for confirmation, but the village head just shook his head after seeing Lin Yi's eyes, "I haven't seen it before."

The village chief didn't even see it when he lived around here, so who else has seen it?

Lin Yi bowed his hands to the magistrate, "My lord, can I invite witnesses?"

The magistrate looked at Liu Shuang, "Liu Shuang, since you said there are witnesses, then tell me who the witnesses are?"

Liu Shuang hurriedly said: "The elder of Hui County, the whole family of the villain and uncle can testify. They often come to visit and see them from time to time."

When he heard that it was Boss Lin, Lin Yi didn't quite believe Liu Shuang's words.

He hadn't seen Boss Lin's family until now, and Hu Qiao wasn't there either.

"If that's the case, call the witnesses!" Without a gavel, the magistrate only relied on his voice to increase his momentum.

The village head took the yamen to find the boss Lin's family, but he couldn't find it at Lin's side, so he went to his house to look for it. The door was closed, and he knocked for a long time before opening the door. When he saw the yamen, he was so scared that he panicked.

"Poor man, poor man, we didn't do anything, we can't arrest people casually!"

The yamen didn't care so much, he just pulled him up, "Stop talking nonsense, get up and go see the magistrate with us!"

"Master, please forgive me. We didn't do anything, so how could we arrest people casually." Although Boss Lin said so, he didn't dare to resist at all, and obediently followed the Yacha.

When I arrived, I was held down and knelt down. I didn't know what I did wrong, so I kowtowed several times to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate asked, "What's your name?"

"Go back to the county magistrate, the villain is called Lin Jiacheng, the county magistrate, the villain has done nothing, the county magistrate is clearly aware."

"Okay, I called you here to be a witness, Liu Shuang, repeat what you just said."

Liu Shuang didn't dare to say no, so naturally he said it again, but Boss Lin shook his head suddenly after hearing this, "Master County, the villain has never seen it before, although Liu Shuang is the villain's nephew Ying, but A villain would not dare to talk about such a thing casually, I really have never seen it before."

This time it really became a good show.

Liu Shuang said that Boss Lin could testify for him, but Boss Lin said that he had never seen it before, which really tricked Liu Shuang.

"Bold Liu Shuang, how dare you deceive me!" The magistrate was very angry.

"No, the county magistrate, the villain dare not, everything the villain says is the truth, the villain dare not lie to the county magistrate!"

Liu Shuang kowtowed and said, and then turned to arrest Boss Lin, "Uncle, you have seen it, how can you say you haven't seen it? Uncle, tell the county magistrate that you were just talking nonsense Yes, you have clearly seen it, uncle, I beg you, tell the magistrate quickly!"

Liu Shuang was crying while talking, and kept shaking Boss Lin, asking him to speak again.

Boss Lin said: "From Fuzi's family, I think you are talking nonsense. When did I see you sitting under the eaves? It's winter, is it possible that you are not afraid of the cold? Fuzi's family Yes, if you are the one who is cruel, why don't you even care about yourself and let him freeze to death."

Boss Lin's bite was so serious that he pushed everything to Liu Shuang.

If Boss Lin didn't help Liu Shuang, he would push him from behind. Obviously, he wanted to send Liu Shuang in. Lin Yi could see it, but he didn't intend to say anything. Everyone needs to be cleaned up one by one. Boss Lin can wait a little longer. wait.

And the magistrate of the county obviously believed in Boss Lin's words even more, "Bold Liu Shuang, dare to deceive this official, come here, drag him out first and beat him with ten sticks!"

"Yes!" Immediately, someone stood up and dragged Liu Shuang to the side. No one cared whether the ground was dirty or not, and beat him down with a stick.

Although everyone was busy with their own affairs, they were also distracted to pay attention to this side. Seeing Liu Shuang being beaten, some people said it was a good fight, while others dared not watch it.

Only Boss Lin looked happy, and it was obvious that he felt that he had succeeded in pushing Liu Shuang.

Lin Yi kept Boss Lin's reaction in his heart, and it would always be useful in the future.

After ten sticks down, Liu Shuang had been beaten and couldn't stand up. Of course, the reason why he didn't want to stand up could not be ruled out, and he was brought over by two yamen servants.

The magistrate of the county took a look and was not sympathetic, "Lin Yi, you are gone too, and it is Chinese New Year, so I will not open the coffin for autopsy, but from your description, I can conclude that you What kind of death must have something to do with him sitting outside the door all night. This Liu Shuang is considered an unfilial person. According to the law, unfilial children and grandchildren who harm their elders will be sentenced to at least three years in prison, but in the end he is just the husband of your Lin family. The judge sentenced him to two years in prison, but is there any point in waiting?"

According to the law of this dynasty, in the matter of unfilial piety, there is indeed a difference between descendants and husbands, so there is no problem with the county magistrate's sentence of Liu Shuang.

What's more, it's one year longer than Lin Fu and the others, so Lin Yi is naturally satisfied.

But thinking about it this way, I still feel that Lin Fu and the others are at a loss. The one-year sentence is too little.

It's just that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, and it's useless to regret it now, Lin Yi thought about it and he was impulsive.

"Master County, now that the Lin family is exiled or imprisoned, there are still such a group of children in this family? How should they be settled?" Just as Lin Yi was thinking, the village head suddenly stood up.

Lin Fu three, Lin Gui two, five children in total, although the eldest is already in his early teens, but the youngest is really small, there is no adult in the family, so it is difficult to arrange.

Children, the county magistrate only noticed a group of children standing next to him after hearing what the village head said, all of them looked very cowardly.

Naturally, it is impossible for these children to be managed by the yamen, and the village cannot arrange them, so they can only be managed by blood relatives in the family.

The magistrate looked over, "Lin Yi, are you willing to accept these children?"

Lin Yi was naturally unwilling, "If you go back to adults, I'm afraid these children can't be controlled by villains. A group of children who snatch food from my own hands are naturally incapable of discipline by villains."

There is also such a thing, "What's going on here? Explain it clearly!"

Lin Yi told the story of these children snatching the meatballs he gave Sun Xiu to eat, combined with what Liu Shuang said and the words of these children before, and summed it up for the county magistrate.

"My lord, it's not that villains are unwilling to raise them, but it's because villains really can't afford to raise them, and dare not raise them."

The village head also came out to speak for Lin Yi, "Master back to the county, Lin Yi has already separated from Lin Fu and Lin Gui, although they are related by blood, but there are so many children, even if he can't raise five children." Well, he also has children at home."

But the children can't be left alone, Lin Yi was not happy for rejecting the county magistrate, even though he didn't like these children, but after all, it was human life and he couldn't let it go.

Immediately said: "Lin Yi, since you said it, then these children are a matter of discipline. You are a scholar, and the official orders you to teach the two children, and you cannot refuse!"

Lin Yi: "..." Lost.

Even so, he had to agree.

The county magistrate continued: "The remaining three children, does the Lin family have any relatives?"

The village chief hurriedly replied: "Village chief, this Lin Jiayi is the uncle of Lin Fu and Lin Gui, and Lin Jiacheng is the second uncle, but this Lin Jiacheng has been exiled, and now his husband is in charge of the family."

"Since that's the case, then the remaining three children should be taken care of by uncle, and the children will be returned when father comes back."

The village chief nodded hurriedly, "Yes, the villain will follow the instructions of the county magistrate, and will definitely arrange these children properly."

"Okay, the matter is settled, and the official should go."

"Congratulations to the county magistrate!" People knelt down on the ground again.

The county magistrate leaves, and the Yacha takes Liu Shuang away.

Seeing Liu Shuang being taken away, Liu Shuang's children chased after him crying, but no one stopped them.

After Lin Yi left, he said to the village chief: "Village chief, I want the two youngest ones. I can't handle the older ones. Give it to the uncle!"

The village head was also very helpless, as it was impossible for him to take care of these children, so he had to mention it to the county magistrate. In the end, Lin Yi lost two. The village head wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. He only sighed and nodded, "Okay, I'll give you the two youngest ones."
