Chapter 71: Evil Mother-in-law in the Republic of China (VI) Requesting for monthly votes
Not to mention the magistrate who was watching, even Gu Qingcheng, the person involved, could not help but be stunned when she heard what Commander Ma said.
You know, Gu Qingcheng is a real boss who remains calm even when facing a catastrophe.
She is well-informed and has seen all kinds of strange things.
But, but this was the first time that Gu Qingcheng had seen someone in the court make such a casual and subjective judgment.
No matter how foolish those corrupt and incompetent officials are, they will disguise themselves to some extent.
And what about this black-faced man in military uniform?
He didn't even pretend, and just told everyone: I am so "willful"! Willful? Well, it's better to follow the will of a donkey than a fox.
Gu Qingcheng was stunned for only a moment, then she knelt down gracefully.
Her movements showed weakness but not the slightest bit of charm.
"I, a commoner, Gu, pay my respects to the great Lord."
Gu Qingcheng controlled her voice and emotions. She was now just an innocent little white rabbit, longing for fair protection from the great Lord of Heaven.
"Oh, with a child. Poor thing—"
Ma Dabing looks big and strong, but he is actually a soft-hearted person.
When I saw Gu Qingcheng with a child, I instantly imagined a scene of "orphan and widowed mother".
The magistrate was numb when he saw this.
He no longer cared about feeling speechless or helpless.
He just wanted to play dead.
But he can't.
This is his court, he can't just stand by and watch Ma Dadan act so recklessly.
The magistrate clenched his right fist, put it to his nose, and coughed lightly.
Ma Dabing didn't understand the county magistrate's hint for a moment. He turned around and asked blankly, "County Magistrate Zhou, what's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"
County Magistrate Zhou: ... Damn, what kind of fool is this? Gu Qingcheng was also a little speechless.
However, she has adjusted her mood and will never show any abnormality easily.
"Haha, Commander Ma, I'm fine!"
What do you mean by catching a cold? I am reminding you not to be stupid.
After this incident, County Magistrate Zhou finally realized what was going on.
For a warrior like Ma Dabing, hints are of no use at all.
County Magistrate Zhou had no choice but to remind them openly, "It's time to try the case."
First ask the plaintiff what grievance he has.
I don’t understand the trial process, but Ma Dabing has seen the show.
He slammed the gavel hard, "Plaintiff, who are you suing?"
Before he knew it, the general was speaking in an operatic voice.
County Magistrate Zhou closed his eyes and said, "Let them perform the opera. He is the boss and he has the final say."
Gu Qingcheng lowered her head and listened to Ma Dadan's words. She probably had a certain understanding of this general.
Her body language became increasingly soft and respectful.
She said sadly, "I want to sue my husband Li Jiye."
Li Jiye? A hint of surprise flashed across Ma Dabing’s seemingly silly face.
Is this the Li Jiye he knew? The richest man in the county. It is said that half of the shops on the street belong to him.
Oh, by the way, he has thousands of acres of fertile land in the countryside. He is definitely a wealthy man.
When Ma Dabing first came to the county town, the wealthy families, gentry, elders and others in the county formed a group to invite him to dinner.
These people also donated a lot of money and food, saying that it was to comfort the soldiers.
Ma Dabing was quite satisfied with these people who knew what was interesting.
However, no one complains about having too much money.
There was no opportunity in the past, and he could not kidnap or rob like a bandit.
Today's case is an excellent opportunity.
Sure enough, no one who can rise from a private to a general is a fool.
Ma Dabing may seem stupid and honest, but he has his own plans.
"It's not right for a wife to sue her husband! Or do you have a great grievance?"
Ma Dabing leaned forward and asked curiously.
"Yes! I feel wronged, I am innocent!"
Gu Qingcheng began her performance. She raised her head slightly, revealing a bruised and swollen face.
Wow! Ma Dabing was startled.
This woman has a soft and delicate figure and manners, but why does her face look like a pig's head?
However, Ma Dabing soon saw some clues from Gu Qingcheng's bruised face -
The woman should have originally had a pretty appearance, but after being beaten, she looked somewhat horrible.
It's so pitiful. Such a beautiful lady was turned into such a horrible state.
I have to say that Gu Qingcheng left a very good impression on Ma Dabing just now.
Even though he saw the "true face" at this moment, Ma Dabing did not feel disgusted, but instead felt pity.
"I, Gu, married Li Jiye as his successor seven years ago."
"A common woman can do her duty, serve her husband, manage the household affairs, and give birth to a son for him."
"But Li Jiye favored his firstborn son. Not only did he spend a lot of money to send him abroad, he also deliberately slandered me in order to leave all the family property to him."
"Woo woo, I have never thought of seizing the Li family's property, but Li Jiye has evil intentions and even ordered the servants in his family to frame me."
"My father was a juren in the Qing Dynasty. My Gu family has been clean for generations. I have read the Women's Code and the Biographies of Heroines since I was a child, as well as the classics of saints. Although I am not a woman, I also understand propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame!"
"Cheating? Li Jiye actually falsely accused me of having an affair! He also slandered my son Li Yaozong as a bastard!"
"My Lord, I swear that if I, Gu Shi, really had an affair and gave birth to a bastard, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Gu Qingcheng said a lot of things while crying.
Ma Dabing's face was filled with indignation, as if he really believed her words. "How ridiculous! How ridiculous!"
How can there still be men who actively cheat on themselves? As for partiality, haha, men can just be partial, why bother to "defile themselves"? However, the facts are not important.
What Ma Dabing wanted was the opportunity to blackmail Li Jiye.
Even County Magistrate Zhou couldn't help but have sparkling eyes when he heard what Gu Qingcheng said.
What a great opportunity! What a great opportunity!
Li Jiye became the defendant. Regardless of whether it was a false accusation or not, as long as County Magistrate Zhou pretended to "handle the case impartially", Li Jiye would give him money.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Hehe, at the very least it’s a few hundred dollars. If you are more powerful, you can ask for a few shops.
Their government offices have always been about money.
No matter whether it is right or wrong, no matter whether it is unfair or not, just give me the money first.
"I really don't covet the Li family's property. I just want to regain my innocence."
Gu Qingcheng raised her head and looked at Ma Dadan with a pair of red and swollen eyes, "Besides, my son Yaozong is the only male in the Li family. The property of the Li family should be divided equally between the two sons."
"Sir, if you can help me and my son get justice, I will definitely thank you handsomely!"
For example, two-thirds of the half of the property divided from the Li family was given as "filial piety" to the other party.
How much property the other party can demand from the Li family depends on his own ability.
Huoshui couldn't help it, "Ahhh, Executioner, you are so bad, how could you hurt others?"
"How did I harm anyone?"
Gu Qingcheng doesn't think she is a bad person.
It is hard to say whether the original owner had cheated on her, after all, she was caught in bed.
However, there is absolutely no problem with Li Yaozong's background.
At that time, Gu Sanniang had not yet established a firm foothold in the Li family. She had no ability and did not dare to forge anything!
Furthermore, even if Gu Sanniang was powerful and really gave birth to a bastard, that was her own fault.
As a double champion in palace fighting and officialdom, Gu Qingcheng has always believed in the principle that "the winner is the king".
As for right or wrong, haha, it’s not that important.
Huoshui: "Why didn't you harm anyone? You deliberately came here to falsely accuse Li Jiye just to collude with the corrupt officials and seize the Li family's property."
No wonder Gu Qingcheng looked down on embroidery, painting and other profitable jobs. It turned out that she liked to do "no-cost business".
This is wrong, immoral and illegal!
“Is Li Yaozong the son of the Li family? Is it wrong for me to fight for half of the family property for my son?”
Gu Qingcheng began to quibble.
"Also, in these troubled times, Li Jiye not only kept a low profile, but he even called himself the richest man."
"Haha, isn't this telling those warlords and corrupt officials: I have money! I'm a fat sheep! Come and slaughter me!"
Gu Qingcheng felt that even if she hadn't schemed, the Li family would not have been able to keep their property.
If you are not careful, these warlords will destroy your family and kill you.
Gu Qingcheng will first help the Li family to lose some money, perhaps they can avoid the disaster of being wiped out.
Huoshui was so angry that he laughed, "So according to what you said, the Li family should thank you?"
Gu Qingcheng suddenly asked, "In the subsequent plot, is there any mention of the fate of the Li family? As the richest family in the county, did the Li family really not attract the covetousness of others?"
The trouble is stuck.
Gu Qingcheng could only see the story outline and didn't know the subsequent plot.
But the disaster knows.
In the original plot, after the girl who traveled through the book betrayed her vicious mother-in-law Gu Sanniang, she packed up her dowry and secretly left the Li family.
The county magistrate Zhou "used" the minor warlord Ma Dadan to urge Li Jiye to donate.
Li Jiye was seriously injured.
Soon after, bandits kidnapped people and set up gambling and opium dens, and Li Jiye lost all his family fortune.
Finally, he finally found out the whereabouts of his son Li Yaozu, and took the few remaining family members to the Magic City to seek refuge with Li Yaozu.
After changing the map, a new round of bullying and slapping the scumbag in the face began.
Of course, the ones who are abused are always the best of the Li family. They all become vicious cannon fodder on the road to success for the heroine who travels through the book.
"Then you can't hurt anyone."
Huoshui stuttered a little.
Its values remind it that even if the Li family really cannot keep their property, the executor cannot be the bad guy.
"Why can't it be me? I am more qualified than corrupt officials, warlords, and bandits."
"Don't forget, my son is the offspring of the Li family. It is only natural that he inherits the Li family's property!"
Gu Qingcheng was so righteous and confident.
As I said, there is no absolute right or wrong, only whether she is strong enough and whether she can succeed.
As long as she succeeds, she will be the winner! "Besides, is the Li family really a kind and good family? Has he never oppressed the poor tenants?"
Gu Qingcheng was not making excuses for herself; this was the fact.
The accumulation of wealth is never clean or fair. There are always loopholes and loopholes...
