Chapter 224 Complaint
Lin County Magistrate did not dare to neglect him. He invited Song Jingyun to the seat and ordered his servants to serve tea. He also asked enthusiastically, "Why did Song Jieyuan come here today?"
"I came to file a complaint." Song Jingyun answered truthfully.
Song Jingyun wants to file a complaint?
County Magistrate Lin was stunned for a moment. "I wonder who Song Jieyuan is suing and why?"
"I am suing my uncle Song Fengshou and my aunt Tang for seizing the land and houses left to me by my late parents and mistreating me, their nephew, for many years. Now they are greedy and vain, threatening my wife and forcing me to return to my clan."
Song Jingyun said loudly.
County Magistrate Lin was stunned again.
He heard the previous few things clearly, and he also felt that the fault lay with Song Fengshou and Tang.
This is the last one...
Anyone who marries into a wife's family is more or less unwilling to do so. No matter how his life goes, he will always think about returning to his ancestral home. Even if he cannot do it himself, he will urge his children and grandchildren to strive for it. After marrying into a wife's family, there are many who return to their ancestral home after three generations.
However, one of the reasons that Song Jingyun sued Song Fengshou was that he was dissatisfied with his request for him to return to his clan.
Although after marrying into the woman's family, one cannot easily return to the ancestral home without the woman's family's consent, but now that Song Jingyun has passed the imperial examination and will serve as an official in the future, his status in the family will naturally rise. It is reasonable for him to ask to return to the ancestral home, and the Jiang family will not disagree.
Now it is Song Jingyun who does not want to return to the clan.
Thinking about the Jiang family's usual attitude towards Song Jingyun, and then thinking about the deep love between Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia, County Magistrate Lin could understand Song Jingyun's thoughts.
In his heart, he felt a lot of respect for Song Jingyun, a man who knew how to repay his gratitude.
"Please Song Jieyuan tell us about these things in detail..."
Song Jingyun stayed in the county government office for a full hour before leaving.
County Magistrate Lin saw him off to the gate, and after watching him leave, he called his subordinates and asked them to prepare to inquire about the matter of Song Fengshou and the Tang family.
"These two people..." The man below scratched his head.
"What happened to these two people?"
"I heard from the yamen runners that a couple was brought here yesterday. They stole silver from a rice shop, but they lied and said they found the silver. When their crime was exposed, they kept quarreling and were brought back. They are now locked up. They are waiting for you to have a trial today and give them a good beating."
The person below said, "I remember clearly that the couple was Song Fengshou from Songjiazhuang and his wife Tang."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Lin frowned, "He is so shameless, it seems his character is really not right."
But this way, things will be easier.
If a person has bad character, he will naturally have a bad reputation. Many people will remember the bad things he did in the past and will despise him very much. It will also be very easy to find witnesses.
This matter can be handled beautifully for Song Jingyun both publicly and privately.
County Magistrate Lin had an idea in his mind and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to do the work.
A few days later, it started snowing after the weather had been sunny for several days.
It started with small snowflakes in the morning, but by noon it had turned into big snowflakes. By evening, the snow on the ground was half a foot deep, and when you stepped on it, it covered your feet.
When Song Jingyun came back, his shoes were a little wet because of the snow water.
Jiang Mixia hurriedly asked him to take off his shoes and socks and warm them on the charcoal stove.
Song Jingyun stopped Jiang Mixia who was busy, and said, "My lady, put this away first."
