Chapter 46 They Sued You 6
Gu Leyou went to the town market to find out what was going on, and this is actually what happened.
One day ago.
The market was crowded and bustling. Shi Yuechan was wearing coarse cloth clothes. After she finished selling the wine, she came out of the store. She had a pretty face and a graceful figure, like a delicate flower blooming in the mortal world, attracting the attention of passers-by. As she was walking, she accidentally bumped into a burly man and she quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you."
After seeing who was coming, Shi Yuechan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Because there was someone she knew among these burly men.
And this person is the son of a normal official, Zheng Yuanhao, who is notorious for his greed and lust.
If you get entangled with him, there will be no good results.
Sure enough, Zheng Yuanhao was looking at her with a squinting look and said, "Miss, come with me to my house for a drink, and I promise I won't treat you badly." Zheng Yuanhao walked over and touched Shi Yuechan's chin.
Shi Yuechan was a hot-tempered person and she directly reached out and knocked Zheng Yuanhao's hand away.
When Zheng Yuanhao saw that the other person had a strong personality, he immediately became interested.
He went on to say, "Girl, I see you are dressed like this, you must be from a poor family, why don't you follow me? I can let you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, wear silk and satin like me, and there are many people in my house to serve me. If you follow me, you can do whatever I want."
Shi Yuechan didn't want to waste time talking to them, but there were too many of them and she couldn't leave.
So Shi Yuechan cried for help, and the neighbors gathered around her, but they only dared to glare at her and whisper to each other. Seeing this, Zheng Yuanhao took out a silver ingot and threw it on the ground: "What are you looking at? I'm going to marry this young lady today. Anyone who meddles in other people's business should think twice!"
Just like that, Shi Yuechan was dragged back to Zheng Yuanhao's house by force.
The news spread throughout the market.
Gu Leyou was still wondering why her uncle and aunt didn’t tell her when the news spread in the market?
It seems that I need to report this matter to the county magistrate immediately, because raping a woman is a crime.
Lu Yan and his wife handed their child over to the care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Then he went to see the county magistrate.
However, the county magistrate has been ill these past two days, and some minor cases have been put on hold and not dealt with.
The two of them beat drums at the gate of the government office to protest their grievances and sued Zheng Yuanhao.
The county magistrate originally didn't want to get involved.
But after asking who the person was, he had no choice but to get up and go to the yamen to deal with the matter.
The moment he saw the county magistrate coming, Gu Leyou knelt down and told him the whole story from beginning to end.
Soon, people from the county government arrived at the official’s house.
At this time, Zheng Yuanhao was having dinner with his father.
His father was very troubled by his son who didn't live up to his expectations. He advised him during the meal: "You little bastard, you cause trouble for me every day. The girl you brought back yesterday is obviously from a good family. She is raised by her parents. Send her home quickly."
"Dad, I advise you not to meddle in my business. I have already fallen in love with that young lady. I want to keep her as my wife. At worst, I can marry her in a formal ceremony."
Old Man Zheng was helpless.
"Don't I know what kind of person you are? Don't you want to ruin the girl? If you don't want her, how can she live? Why did I give birth to such an inhuman beast like you?"
Zheng Yuanhao felt really annoyed listening to his father's nagging.
So he slapped the table and toughened up.
But just then, the housekeeper came to report.
"Master, something bad has happened. Someone from the government office has come and said that you have committed a crime and they want to question you."
When Mr. Luo heard this, he felt that something was wrong and immediately scolded his son.
"Look at what you have done. People have come to our door. It is obvious that they are here for that girl. Why don't you let them go? Do you really want to stay? Then our entire Luohu will suffer with you."
"What's there to be afraid of? At most, we can just give them some more money. Anything that can be settled with money is a small matter."
As a result, when Mr. Luo heard these arrogant words, he was so angry that he slapped his son in the face.
All the people from the yamen came and wanted to take his son away in front of Mr. Luo.
Mr. Luo stepped forward to stop them, "Everyone, everyone, let's talk it over. What did my son do wrong? Why are you taking him away?"
"You should know that it is appropriate for you to lock up your meals. Tell your father so that we don't wrongly accuse you." One of the people from the yamen said to Zheng Yuanhao.
"I am a decent man and have done nothing wrong."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the yamen laughed.
It would be strange if they hadn't done anything wrong. If they hadn't, they wouldn't have bothered to make this trip.
When Mr. Luo heard his son say this shamelessly, his face turned red and he wished he could find a place to hide.
The people from the government office couldn't wait any longer and said to Zheng Yuanhao directly: "We won't waste time talking to you. They have sued you, saying that you are a bad person who robbed women."
"That's not true. Stop talking nonsense." Zheng Yuanhao argued.
"Go find that girl and bring her back with you."
"It's Li Tou."
When the people from the yamen found Shi Yuechan, she hadn't eaten for almost two days.
The whole person looks not in good spirits.
When she saw clearly who was coming, she almost fainted.
The constable quickly carried her out.
When the chief constable saw Shi Yuechan's appearance, he was furious.
She knew this girl, she was a famous wine seller in the area.
The wine she brewed was the best, and he had bought it.
How come I haven't been treated like this in a while?
"Mr. Luo, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and find someone to get this girl something to eat so that we can take your son and this girl to the county government office to report. Our master is waiting for you."
Mr. Luo did not dare to delay and quickly ordered the housekeeper to ask the servants to prepare food for the girl.
They finally woke Shi Yuechan up and persuaded her to eat something before taking them back to the yamen.
On the way back to the yamen, Zheng Yuanhao felt a little regretful.
If I had known earlier, I would not have brought this girl back and brought myself into so much trouble.
I wonder how much money my dad will have to spend to get me out this time.
Why are young ladies nowadays more troublesome than the other?
He had offended a young lady whom he should not have offended before, and now he had offended a young lady with a bad temper. Sooner or later, his life and property would be ruined by this.
…
When Gu Leyou saw his good friend become like that, he was heartbroken.
She went up and hugged Shi Yuechan, and Shi Yuechan cried in her arms out of grievance.
When Zheng Yuanhao saw the person who sued him, he immediately became scared.
Why are they the two now?
So how much money does it cost to get out?
At this time, the county magistrate appeared in the hall, and everyone seemed to be gathered, ready to try the case.
