Not to mention the magistrate who was watching, even Gu Qingcheng, the person involved, couldn't help but be stunned when she heard what Commander Ma said.
You know, Gu Qingcheng is a real elder who remains calm even when faced with a crisis.
She is knowledgeable and has seen a lot of strange things.
But, this was the first time that Gu Qingcheng had seen someone in court make such a casual and subjective judgment.
No matter how foolish those corrupt and incompetent officials are, they will at least disguise themselves a little.
And what about this black-faced man in military uniform?
He didn't even pretend and told everyone so casually: I am so "willful"!
capricious?
Well, it's better to go with the flow than to be a fox.
Gu Qingcheng was stunned for only a moment, then she knelt down gracefully.
Her movements showed weakness but not a bit of charm.
"I, a commoner, Mrs. Gu, pay my respects to the great Lord of Heaven."
Gu Qingcheng controlled her voice and emotions. She was now an innocent little white rabbit, longing for fair protection from the great judge.
"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 widow".
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 recklessly.
The magistrate clenched his right fist, put it to his nose, and coughed lightly.
Ma Dabing didn't understand the 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 idiot is this?
Gu Qingcheng was also 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'm just reminding you, don't be stupid.
After this incident, County Magistrate Zhou finally realized it.
For a warrior like Ma Dabing, hints are of no use at all.
County Magistrate Zhou had no choice but to remind him 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 it before.
He slammed the gavel hard, "Plaintiff, who are you suing?"
Before he knew it, the general had started 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 knows?
He is 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 rich man.
When Ma Dadan first came to the county town, the wealthy families, gentry, elders and others in the county organized a group to invite him to dinner.
These people also donated a lot of money and food, saying it was to comfort the soldiers.
Ma Dabing was quite satisfied with these discerning people.
However, no one complains about having too much money.
There was no opportunity in the past, and he would not kidnap or rob like a bandit.
Today's eucalyptus 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 Dadan leaned forward and asked curiously.
"Yes! I feel wronged, I am wronged!"
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, so why does her face look like a pig's head?
However, Ma Dabing soon saw some clues from Gu Qingcheng's bruised face -
This woman should have originally been pretty, but after being beaten, she looked a little scary.
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 Dadan 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 second wife seven years ago."
"A common woman can do her duty, serve her husband, manage the household, and bear him a son."
"But Li Jiye favors his firstborn son, the legitimate son of his first wife. Not only did he spend a fortune to send him abroad, he also deliberately slandered me in order to leave all his wealth to him."
"Woo woo, I never thought of seizing the Li family's property, but Li Jiye harbored evil intentions and even ordered his servants to frame me."
"My father was a successful candidate in the imperial examinations during the Qing dynasty. My Gu family has been clean for generations. I've read "Nu Jie" (Instructions for Women) and "Biography of Heroic Women" (Biography of Heroines) since I was little, as well as the classics of the saints. Although I'm not a woman, I 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!"
"Sir, I swear that if I, Gu Shi, really stole someone and gave birth to a bastard, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
