struggle in ancient times

"My lord, I want you to be the master, my lord?" Jin Li knelt down in the wide and long hall according to the tone he had rehearsed in advance.

Liao Tingyu was wearing an official uniform, and when he heard this voice, he instantly collapsed.

How much injustice does it have to be to say such things in such a tone?

"Who is under the hall, please report your name, if there is any grievance, tell me quickly." Liao Tingyu imitated Bao Wenzheng and said word by word.

"Master Huibing, the villain is Quanjinli. His family lives in the alley beside the west city gate. There is a father in his family. He loves to gamble all his life. He likes to beat and scold his parents. He even used up all the winnings in the family just to gamble. , my mother and father have worked so hard for this family, and have become sick all over, so I beg your lord to make decisions for my mother and father, and sentence my mother and father to reconcile with my father." Jin Li was very disturbed, and he tried his best to make his voice become Calm, but still sounds like he knows he's shaking.

Liao Tingyu nodded after hearing what he said. It's not a big deal. He thought there was a life lawsuit.

"Okay, then summon your father and your parents, and if there are witnesses, you can also bring them here." Liao Tingyu nodded and ordered.

Still engrossed in gambling in the casino, Quancai, who was already red-eyed, was taken aback by the sudden visit of the yamen servant.

As soon as he heard his name being called, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy. "My lord, I'm a villain. I just like to gamble a little. I didn't do anything harmful. I beg you to let me go."

"This is not to ask us to let you go, but someone came to the court today to tell you, you go with us." The yamen servant looks down on this kind of person the most, his clothes are filthy, and he likes to gamble. I want to know how the adults will judge.

Quancai was completely dumbfounded, he actually wanted to go to court, and he didn't do anything, could it be that he had already been found out that he had stolen a chicken, how could such a trivial matter alarm the county magistrate.

Quancai couldn't figure out how to bow his waist to get close to depression, and wanted to know how he was accused.

And Jinli's parents were also taken aback by the bald government servant who came to build a house at home. He thought it was that old bastard who had done something outrageous.

"Excuse me, poor man, do you know what crime was committed by that dead thing in my house? Is it stealing or robbery?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious, it's just that your son wants adults to be afraid of you two reconciling." The yamen servant has a good impression of this diligent and thrifty family, who uses his own efforts to support a child, and even a family of two children, so I will reveal it. nothing.

Obviously Jinli's parents were shocked by this sentence.

"You mean that my son wants me to make peace with that dead thing, and I have to ask the county magistrate to make the decision." Jinli's mother and father said in a very frightened tone.

"Yes, that's right. I have to say that you have raised a good son. It is indeed a very good way for him to do this. Your son is very smart." admiration.

But Jinli's parents didn't think much about it, he felt that the whole sky was going to collapse, and the son didn't say anything about his father's faults, not to mention how could a junior be the boss of the elders.

After all, the yamen servant has met many people, and he knew what was going on when he saw his expression. He thought he was a smart person at first, but he was just a fool, not as good as his son.

Originally treated him differently, but now he is just a fool, there is no need for this, the tone of the yamen servant became cold and cold.

"Okay, don't dawdle, you pack your things now, the county magistrate is still waiting for you!" the yamen servant urged.

Jinli knelt on the courtroom alone, his whole thin body trembling non-stop.

Liao Tingyu looked at this person and thought he was very ordinary. Somehow he caught the boy's attention. He still said very gently:

"Don't be too nervous. I don't eat people. Come and bring him a chair. Don't kneel and hurt your legs."

Jin Li thanked Liao Tingyu, sat on the brought chair, and was worried that the adults would say that he was rude, so he only dared to do a little, and his whole body collapsed.

This one of his can really stand up immediately at any time, which is the most tiring.

Liao Tingyu said with a smile, "Your name is Jinli, right? Don't be so stiff. I'm Kudo here, not from hell. Smile and don't be so serious. Now that they haven't come, I'll chat with you."

Jinli nodded stiffly, and wanted to relax when he saw it, but there were rows of yamen servants, and every dentist still had a thick and long stick in his hand, as well as high steps, and behind the huge old man's chair were colored Brightly painted.

How could he be relaxed when he was magnificent and solemn.

"Jinli, since your father likes to gamble and lost all your family's money more than once because of gambling, how do you buy vegetables and rice?" Liao Tingyu asked.

"Returning to my lord, it's because my parents know that my father is such a person, so he usually helps people mend clothes in his spare time, or he helps them wash clothes to earn some money, and our family has a tea shop. Building a stall can earn some money on weekdays, so we can maintain our lives."

Liao Tingyu nodded, "So you all rely on tea stalls for your livelihood, and then your father spent all the money you earned on the first day on the second day, right?"

Jinli nodded, "Yes, every day when my mother and father earn money, they will secretly hide some money to buy it, and accumulate it to buy rice noodles or something."

"Then your father doesn't suspect that your parents are hiding things. After all, he took the money from the family. How did the family get the rice noodles?" Liao Tingyu asked.

"He knows that when the money is not enough to lose, he will go to his parents to ask for it. If they don't give it to him, he will pawn the rice and noodles, or if he can't find the rice and noodles, he will rummage around in the room. If you can’t find the money, you will beat your parents and take the valuables at home to the pawn shop.” Jinli remembered that every time his father lost a bet, he would beat his parents, Every time I beat my parents, I couldn't get up for several days.

"Furthermore, Dad is very over the top. Every time he loses a bet, he will beat and kick his parents, saying that his parents have spoiled him."

"Then did your parents resist?"

Jinli shook his head, "Mother and father are the only children in the grandfather's family. Grandfather and the others died early, so no one supports mother and father, and those clansmen don't care."

Liao Tingyu nodded knowingly that he was just a bad gambler, but he remembered that he had seldom been such a person before, so the reasoning should be recorded.

Liao Tingyu asked the clerk to look for information about this person and see if he was arrested at that time.

The clerk received the order, searched carefully and found that this person was actually the first batch of labor reformers.

"It is indeed recorded in the records of adults, and they have been reformed for more than half a year. I didn't expect this person to be so stupid and make the same mistakes over and over again."

"Really? It was recorded in the record, so has Jinli changed since he was arrested?" Liao Tingyu nodded in understanding and asked.

Jinli shook his head, "No, since the first day he was released back, he beat his mother and father during the daytime and now concentrates at night, and his mother and father are not allowed to call out."

Liao Tingyu was a little angry: "Even if you beat someone at night, there will be noise. What do your neighbors do? And you are so old, why did it take you so long to come here to say it? You clearly know that your father is being violent, but you don't If you know how to stop it, it would be a waste of your mother-in-law to drag you down so much."

Jinli lowered his head and said nothing.

Soon the yamen servants brought those two people over. Jinli's mother and father came to the court for the first time trembling, and they kowtowed without knowing what to say.

And Quan Cai was really scared out of his wits, he looked at the familiar face on the Gaotang, and the familiar people around him, recalling his hellish life.

"Quancai, we can be considered old acquaintances, at least we've met each other day and night for more than half a year, how about revisiting old places to meet old people." Liao Tingyu said slowly after taking a sip of tea.

Quan Cai was completely stunned. He was like a king of Hades when he met an old friend.

"My lord, I was wrong. I don't dare to do it again. Please give me one more chance. If it's not the last chance, I will definitely correct it, correct it well, and never hit anyone again. Please give me another chance." Quancai kept kowtowing in a very humble way, begging for mercy.

Liao Tingyu shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't like to give people two chances, one is enough, please ask the doctor to examine the husband's injuries first, and then the clerk will write a letter of reconciliation and departure. Suppress and invite me, the old man, to return to the old place."

"It just so happens that my land is still short of people, so you just sent it to my door. You really miss me, because with you, I can save a lot of labor costs. It's really a good idea for me. civil."

Quan Cai is going crazy, he knows that the people who work there are basically hired out, and some of them made a mistake to go to labor reform, and those of them who are reformed need to wear hinges , in the eyes of those people, he is going crazy just thinking about it now.

"Of course not, please don't, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never gamble again."

Liao Tingyu turned a deaf ear to his cries, the doctor came out from the inner room to examine the wound, and said to Liao Tingyu.

"Your Excellency, this person has wounds accumulated over many years, and there are many new wounds. I think the labor reform of Your Excellency has not left an unforgettable memory on him. I suggest that Your Excellency change the method and intensify efforts so that he can learn from it."

"Well, that's right, let's start three times in a row." Liao Tingyu's soft words laid the foundation for his three years of hard work.

The clerk was also quick to deal with this kind of scum, and quickly wrote the pleadings, and then let his hand be stamped with a red seal.
