Chapter 1204 Zhu Pingan is very busy (6)
"Did I wrong you?! Today is my birthday, but you only gave me rotten vegetable leaves and rotten radish soup, while you were in the room You are eating a lot of fish and meat, do you think you are disobedient and unfilial?”
The old woman asked her daughter-in-law He Wang with tears in her eyes. He patted the ground for the first time and begged Zhu Pingan with tears streaming down his face, "Mr. Magistrate, I haven't seen any meat for several months. Please give me the final say. Please let me divorce this rebellious and unfilial daughter-in-law." , Give my family peace.”
After hearing that the old woman said that she had not seen meat for several months, the people watching the melon eating felt pity for the old woman.
"Mother-in-law, woo woo woo." He Wang looked at the old woman in disbelief, crying.
"Ms. He Wang, can you hear clearly your mother-in-law's accusation of your disobedience and unfilial piety? Tell me quickly and tell the truth."
Zhu Ping'an asked He Wang in the lobby.
“Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo” He Wang turned a deaf ear and just lowered his head and cried, refusing to say anything.
"Ms. He Wang? Can you hear me clearly?" Zhu Pingan asked again.
If He Wang had not spoken to her mother-in-law just now, Zhu Pingan would have thought that He Wang was mute.
No matter how Zhu Pingan asked, Mrs. He and Wang in the audience just bowed their heads and cried, not sure of anything to say.
"Look at her head almost lowered to her crotch. She also knows that she is shameless?! If she had known this, why did she do it in the first place."
"She was too shameless to speak"
"Be careful in the future. Don't find a daughter-in-law like this, otherwise you will suffer when you grow old."
The crowd watching the melon-eating sneered at Mr. He Wang and whispered in contempt.
Zhu Ping'an rubbed his forehead in the lobby. He and Wang didn't say a word. How could this case be tried?
You cannot make a judgment based solely on the plaintiff’s words when trying a case.
Evidence and testimony are indispensable, otherwise, unjust, false and wrongful convictions will be inevitable.
Zhu Pingan carefully observed the original defendant in the hall again, raised his eyebrows slightly, then put a smile on his lips, and said gently to the old woman in the hall, "This aunt, I am an official." As a Jingnan parent official, I am responsible for educating the people in the territory. Your daughter-in-law is disobedient and unfilial, so I also have a certain responsibility. Today is your birthday, but I only ate it. Rotten vegetable leaves and radish soup are really shabby. How about I arrange a birthday party for you in this court? How can I cause you trouble because of this little thing about me? You just need to order my son to divorce this rebellious and unfilial daughter-in-law."
The old woman declined politely.
"No trouble, no trouble. We won't do anything big, just two bowls of longevity noodles. One bowl for you, um, one bowl for your daughter-in-law, and you will eat longevity noodles together in this courtroom. Come here. Firstly, I’ll give you a birthday. Secondly, we are a family after all. Let’s see what’s going on. If eating a bowl of longevity noodles together can resolve your conflict, you and your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be reconciled as before. Of course, if you still can't reconcile after eating, it doesn't matter. After you finish eating, I will continue to investigate the case in accordance with the law. Judgment."
Zhu Pingan said gently.
“I don’t dare to trouble the county magistrate, I don’t dare to trouble the county magistrate,” the old woman declined.
"No trouble, there is a noodle shop near the Yamen, the craftsmanship is good. After you have eaten the longevity noodles, I will continue the case." Zhu Pingan said gently.
"Dadao."
Zhu Ping'an called Liu Dadao over, whispered a few instructions to him, and then patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, young master, I'll go to the noodle shop and bring two bowls of longevity noodles." Liu Dadao nodded vigorously and took the order.
After a while, Liu Dadao came back with a steaming food box, exuding the fragrance of noodles.
Zhu Pingan ordered a table to be set up in the hall, with two chairs facing each other. He invited the old woman and Mr. He to sit face to face, and placed two steaming bowls of longevity noodles in front of them. Two people please.
The old woman and Mr. He Wang took their seats and looked at each other.
"You're welcome, please use it." Zhu Pingan looked at the two of them with a smile, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
The old woman and Mr. He and Wang looked up and saw Zhu Pingan looking at them with a smile and making a gesture of invitation.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Magistrate."
The magistrate was so gracious that the two of them had no choice but to thank them, pick up their bowls, chopsticks, and eat longevity noodles.
While the old woman and Mr. He Wang were eating noodles, the onlookers outside the courtroom all looked at each other in shock.
"What is going on? This case is being tried, how come the county magistrate invites people to eat noodles?"
"Is this our county magistrate? Why do I feel like this? Looks like a different person! Our county magistrate is a master of judgment when he tries a case. If there is any divine help in solving the case, even in the case of the monks and nuns, our county magistrate also tried it clearly, clearly and with good reason. review Why are you inviting someone to eat noodles? How come it seems ridiculous? The daughter-in-law here is disobedient to her mother-in-law. Can she change her ways if she is treated to a meal of longevity noodles? ! That’s what she said I can’t believe it even if I change my ways.”
“What do you know? The county magistrate is kind-hearted. He is showing sympathy for the old lady and feels sorry for her.”
The crowd whispered. started to discuss.
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Mrs. He Wang quickly finished the longevity noodles, but the old woman only ate half of it.
"Auntie, don't worry about the money. I have already paid for it. Just eat." Zhu Pingan looked at the old woman and said gently.
"Hey, thank you, Mr. Magistrate." The old woman continued to eat under Zhu Pingan's gaze.
While eating, the old lady felt uncomfortable in her stomach, and a strong feeling of vomiting came into her throat.
Then the old lady couldn’t control herself and vomited it out on the spot.
Beside him, Wang He also felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and a strong feeling of vomiting surged into his throat, and he also vomited it out.
“You threw up after eating?!”
“This, I’m afraid this noodle is not clean. Both of them vomited. Which noodle restaurant made this noodle? The noodle shop owner I’m going to arrest you.”
The crowd eating melon outside the courtroom was stunned.
"Go and see what the vomit of the two people is?" Zhu Pingan seemed to have expected this, and was not surprised by the vomiting of the two people. He calmly ordered the left and right officials to check on the old woman and King He. 's vomitus.
Hearing Zhu Ping'an's order, the people eating melon outside the hall were stunned for a moment. Some of them reacted so quickly that their eyes widened. Regardless of their nausea, they stared directly at the old woman and Wang He's vomiting. things.
"Back to the county magistrate, the plaintiff old woman vomited fish, meat, eggs, and noodles, and Mr. He vomited vegetable leaves, radish strips, and noodles." The yamen officer covered his nose and checked the vomit of the two people. , reported back.
“Ah?! Really, what the old lady vomited was really fish, meat, and eggs. What Wang He vomited was vegetable leaves and radish sticks. Didn’t the old lady say it was her birthday today? Didn't you just give her rotten vegetable leaves stewed in rotten radish soup? Eat big fish and meat?”
“If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it!”
“So this is the county magistrate? The reason for inviting them to eat noodles?”
"The county magistrate is so good at judging cases!"
The people eating melon outside the hall suddenly realized it one by one. They worshiped Zhu Pingan in their hearts and looked at the old woman in disbelief.
The truth of the case has now been revealed.
The truth is completely opposite to what people think. (End of this chapter)
