I want to live, get married

It's not that Imperial Physician Liu has never seen these unscrupulous people's dirty minds, or they are just resorting to tricks to ask for money.

As an imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, he is considered to be an official, and the most important thing is reputation. If he forcibly entangles with such a shrew, he is afraid that his reputation will be ruined by the news.

He thought in his heart that it would be better to send some money away in private, so as not to cause a big mess and be disgraceful.

Just thinking about it, He Qingqing yelled loudly: "No way, human life is a matter of heaven, how can you allow you to talk nonsense, at worst, I will go to court together, right and wrong, but I have to talk to you clearly .”

"This..." Imperial Physician Liu still hesitated.

"That's right, that's right, let's go to the yamen, we must clear things up." With He Qingqing's strength, shopkeeper Zhou also stood up and said.

In this way, the woman was stunned for a moment, she covered her face and wept and said: "When you go to the yamen, you will go to the yamen. I am afraid that you will not succeed. Even if you sue the holy majesty, I will not be afraid. It's just that all the fathers and folks must help me. Make the decision!"

And worriedly complained to the onlookers: "When we come to the court, who knows if rich and powerful people like them will bully others, woo..." As she said this, the woman burst into tears again.

"No, the county magistrate is an upright official who loves the people like a son, so he will never wrong a good person."

"Yeah, so many of us are watching, the sky is bright and bright, they dare not wrong you."

"We must make them compensate, and we can't make this black-hearted shop cheap."

The onlookers naturally sympathized with the weak, and they all overwhelmingly defended the lonely woman.

Afterwards, the enthusiastic onlookers found a door panel, carried the half-dead middle-aged man up, set up the crying woman, Hao Haotangtang set off from Baoxing Building, and rushed towards the yamen in the east of the town.

In this way, there was a lot of trouble, and Liu Taiyi, who didn't want to go to court at first, was forced to go to the yamen together in desperation.

After a while, a group of people came to the boundary of the county government office.

There is a ferocious animal head nailed on the black lacquered gate, which is shiny, and two equally terrifying Pixiu stone beasts are separated on both sides of the gate.

It only makes this county government office appear uniquely tall and mighty in this small town.

A group of people waited across the [-]-meter corridor to the gate.

In the first half of Dongshao Room, there is a drum for crying out for grievances, which is used by the people to beat the drums and cry out for grievances.

In the first half of the west tip, there are two stone steles, engraved on it: "False accusation will add three grades, and the more you sue, the more you will be whipped fifty."

Seeing that there was no one in front of the yamen, He Qingqing didn't care about the many people, so she hurriedly stood up and beat the drums to express her grievances.

The sound of "dong dong dong" broke through the cleanliness in front of the yamen, coupled with the noise of the common people watching outside the gate, after a while a burly man with beard and beard protruded from the dark gate.

He yelled with a rough voice like scraping the bottom of a pot: "Who is making noise in front of the yamen?"

"Brother Yamen servant, please tell the county magistrate that there is a dispute concerning human life that needs to be brought up for trial immediately." He Qingqing put down the drum and hammer in his hand, and quickly explained to the big man in front of him.

The bearded man looked at the situation around him, and his shrewd little eyes rolled around three times, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Seeing that there are so many people in front of the yamen, he is afraid that he will be delayed by him if there is any urgent matter, and he will be unable to bear the burden of responsibility.

He quickly agreed and said: "You guys wait for a while, I will go in and report first."

After a while, the bearded man came out again, opened the side door, and said to He Qingqing and the onlookers: "Come in, the county lord will be promoted immediately, and you must be careful in your words and deeds when you enter, and don't make any noise."

So, a group of people carried the unconscious middle-aged man into the yamen through the gate.

Passing through the Yimen Gate is the lobby of the county government. In the lobby there is a large plaque with the inscription "Main Hall of the County Government".

The three-foot French table is placed on the wooden high platform in the warm pavilion, and there is "silence" behind it

The "avoidance" card is divided into two sides of the tree. On the table are the four treasures of the study and the arrow tube. Behind the table is a grand master's chair. On the left is the arrow holder, and on the right is a black folding fan.

There are toon wood benches and various instruments of torture on the left and right of the second hall, which looks really chilling.

Eighteen types of weapons, such as green flags, leather spears, tung sticks, blue fans, government plaques, and drums, are displayed in an impressive and orderly manner in the hall.

"Wait, wait, you all stand here. Except for the plaintiff and the defendant, the rest of the idlers are waiting outside the lobby. You are not allowed to enter or make noise." The bearded man stretched his arms to stop those who wanted to rush in common people.

"I, I, I am the plaintiff..." The woman jumped out and sued: "The woman wants to sue the shopkeeper of Baoxing Building for colluding with a quack doctor, extorting money and killing him, causing my husband to be unconscious. The living dead..."

Hearing this, shopkeeper Zhou was furious, and scolded: "Hey, you wicked woman and villain are the first to sue. Obviously we are going to sue you for slandering good people and defrauding money. You should take the first step."

The two sides were arguing endlessly, and the bearded man frowned, waved his hands impatiently and said, "Stop arguing, let's settle it first, and let the plaintiff and defendant come in."

Afterwards, He Qingqing accompanied Imperial Physician Liu, Shopkeeper Zhou and the waiter Xiao Jiuer, and the woman followed the bearded man into the hall, while the others waited outside the hall to watch.

In a short while, two groups of yamen servants dressed in black and white came up to the hall with sticks and lined up on both sides, and the hall servants beat drums three times, "dong, dong, dong".

Followed by the two classes of yamen servants yelling "mighty" in a deep and serious voice.

I saw a few figures stepping out of the soap room behind the lobby, and when I looked closely, it turned out that it was the county magistrate, the county magistrate, Zhu Bo and a group of people walking into the hall.

The county magistrate is a middle-aged man wearing an official hat and long-sleeved official uniform. His face is white and white, just like a Xuanteng big white steamed bun that has just come out of the cage.

The county lord moved to a table behind the three-foot magic table, and slapped the gavel, which only shocked the whole body of the people in the hall.

The lawsuit officially opened.

"Big... bold and troublesome, nagging... bothering the court in broad daylight, so... what is the matter, quickly... quickly recruit."

If the county magistrate didn't speak, he almost choked He Qingqing who was standing under the hall when he spoke.

The county magistrate actually stuttered.

To be honest, when the magistrate spoke with his tongue out, He Qingqing's head was messed up like a pot of paste, but she had to listen patiently and deal with it slowly, she couldn't help it. Slander: "This kind of people don't know how to become county magistrates."

Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly, seeing the magistrate, the big-breasted woman yelled "Oh...": "Help, Lord Qingtian, the women are wronged, you must make the decision for me."

Seeing that someone had seized the opportunity, shopkeeper Zhou and Xiao Jiu'er shouted angrily: "Hey, what are you shrew doing? It's the villains who complained first."

"Ah... Master Qingtian, they scare the people..."

Shopkeeper Zhou stared at the woman beside him in disbelief and began to beat her chest and stamp her feet. She looked miserable and desolate, as if someone had murdered her own husband maliciously.

"Shut up...shut up, you guys are messing around... how decent it is, who...who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant, all of you will be ranked and knelt...kneel down." Seeing this, the sitting county magistrate reprimanded him dissatisfied.

At this time, the big bearded man from before stood up again and separated the two groups of people who were so noisy in the lobby.

Assign people to the front of the lobby and point to the two bluestones laid out on the left and right.

The big bearded man said: "The plaintiff's seat is on the left, and the defendant's seat is on the right. Kneel down and make no noise."

So the big-breasted woman knelt on the left side, and shopkeeper Zhou and Xiao Jiuer had no choice but to kneel on the right side.

It's just that Imperial Physician Liu and He Qingqing were still standing in the hall with their heads held high and their hands behind their backs, as if the order had nothing to do with them at this moment.

In the eyes of the county magistrate, the two of them had no respect for him, and they couldn't help being furious.

He sounded the gavel with a "slap", and scolded: "Hey, big... bold, the two of you, why don't you... quickly kneel down when you see me?"

"How can I be so unlucky today, with such a shrew at the stall, and with such a disrespectful county magistrate?"

Imperial Physician Liu glanced at the people sitting in the hall with disdain, because of his official status, he was too lazy to argue with them.

At this moment, He Qingqing said calmly from the side: "My lord in the hall, this Mr. Liu is an imperial physician in the imperial hospital. He has an official position. According to the regulations of our court, he is also an official. There is no need to kneel and salute in court, I don’t know if I remembered it wrong, or you are not clear, can you ask your owner to check it out for you before making a decision?”

The county magistrate hastily turned his head, and whispered to the bearded master Bo beside him: "Yes... yes, is that the case? Yes... is there?"

"My lord, there is indeed such a thing." Master Bo replied with a nod.

After receiving the letter of approval, the county magistrate secretly glanced at the people standing in the hall. He was upright, not angry but mighty. Although he was standing above the court, he looked calm and relaxed. He must have some reason for it.

The county magistrate secretly thought, and vaguely recalled that there was indeed a doctor named Liu in the neighboring county, who entered the Imperial Hospital in Beijing and worked as an imperial physician.

So he changed his words and said to He Qingqing: "Okay, then...then Imperial Physician Liu will be spared."

Looking at the county magistrate's appearance without a backbone, He Qingqing couldn't help muttering in his heart: "It is said that the county magistrate is a clean and clear official, and loves the people like a son. I am afraid that what he said is not true because of his confused and ignorant appearance. Do not match what you say!"

Gritting his back molars, the county magistrate had a small calculation in his heart.

I thought to myself that even if the imperial physician does not participate in politics, he is still an official in the capital, and the people around the emperor, it is not easy to be sure of a nine-rank county magistrate like himself.

Even the little girl next to him is eloquent. Who knows the background, background, and inextricable connections of this kind of people in the officialdom? Didn't he dig a hole for himself in the end, that's all, a word "forbearance".

The county magistrate waved his hand helplessly and said: "Forget it...forget it. I love the people only when I am sympathetic.

The two classes of yamen servants had to order to move the seats to the hall, and respectfully invited Imperial Physician Liu and He Qingqing to take their seats: "Please, both."

………………

Such a big event happened in the town, and there were many people waiting outside the hall to watch the excitement. The county magistrate loudly announced the order in the hall in order to show justice and integrity in front of the public.

"You...you are in the official position, and everyone is...literary...literati, but I will not cheat for personal gain because of...so, I will definitely act according to the rules, understand...understand?"

"Oh, the county magistrate, you are clear and bright. Master Bao is still alive, so you must make the decision for the women..." The big-breasted woman flattered the county magistrate very politely.

"It's easy to say... It's easy to say. The affairs of the people are my...my affairs. My master will definitely uphold justice for you."

In this way, He Qingqing looked at the county magistrate with admiration. Although he was a little confused and had no backbone, he was still fair.

As he said that, he said to everyone present: "Everyone... Everyone, listen... Do you hear that, although the circumstances of this trial are special and Doctor Liu is in an official position, but... I am by no means a person who is afraid of power. ...Everything is done according to the law, you...you first present your identity document and show it to my master."

But the big-breasted woman didn't say anything, she took out her identity document from her bosom, and handed it to the hall attendant without any ambiguity.

Doctor Liu was very displeased that such a blatant thing had to be checked by a mere county magistrate, so he had to hand it over in desperation.

The county magistrate looked it up one by one, carefully seeing the place of origin, identity, and name of everyone in the hall clearly on the post.

The county magistrate stroked the smooth white tender chin, and said to the big-breasted woman kneeling on the plaintiff's table: "The plaintiff, hurry up... and explain today's affairs clearly, sir... I will make the decision for you, sir." .”

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." The woman cried and said, "My lord, Mrs. Wang and Wang Erniu are husband and wife. Today I sent my husband out of the street to Baoxing Building to clean a gold bracelet. I never thought too late." I didn't return, and the women had no choice but to look for it. I never thought that my poor husband had already suffered an accident. The poison in his body made him look like a dead man, and the gold bracelet in his arms was also changed. All this happened in Baoxing Tower Inside, the left and the right have nothing to do with them. The women only ask the Lord Qingtian to give the women justice and let them pay full compensation. Otherwise, people and money will be empty for a while. How can you let me live as a woman? Woo, woo, woo ..."

The county magistrate looked at Wang, who was kneeling in the hall, weeping and crying, and she looked pitiful, so he couldn't help but sympathize with her.

So he slapped the gavel and let out a loud roar: "Hey, what else do you have to say about being... accused?"

Shopkeeper Zhou shouted for grievances and said: "Oh, my lord! You can't listen to this scoundrel's one-sided words. Baoxinglou is a dutiful business, and it will never do anything that seeks wealth and death. This middle-aged man Wang Er Niu did come to my shop to clean a bracelet today, but we will never do the business of making a package."

"Yes, yes... That's true. This bracelet was cleaned by a goldsmith master. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

Xiao Jiu'er hastily testified from the side: "Afterwards, he himself was poisoned and fell to the ground in my shop. It has nothing to do with us."

"That's right, Imperial Physician Liu was also present at the time, he can testify..." Shopkeeper Zhou looked at Imperial Physician Liu for help as he spoke.

Imperial Physician Liu said seriously: "That's true. Wang Erniu's complexion was not good when he entered the store. He didn't expect it to be water poisoning. When the situation was critical, it was the old man who gave him the first aid. Otherwise, it would be early Just die."
