Chapter 95: Joy and Sorrow
"Come on! Let's salute the nineteenth together! ”
"I wish Master Xiucai high school next year!"
"I wish Nineteen to become a great official in the future!"
……
Lin Haoran was seated, and everyone raised their glasses to toast him.
For the most promising young man in this clan, and he is very likely to be an official in the future, everyone is proud from the bottom of their hearts. Especially the old patriarch, it is rare to be coaxed, and the mood is particularly happy.
It's not just the elders' table that toasts, but the young people at the tables have come to toast Lin Haoran, a talented man, and they seem very happy.
"Thank you!"
Lin Haoran enjoyed this festive atmosphere very much, and drank wine with everyone. Since the alcohol content is not high, he will not get drunk easily, so he responds one by one.
When eating with chopsticks, everyone knew that Lin Haoran had a preference for the money turtle, so he didn't move the money turtle much, but sandwiched it to other delicacies and enjoyed the rare food.
Tiger Niu is an idle master, originally arranged a seat for her here, but she carried a big bowl to the children's pile. I didn't know what she said, which caused the other children to giggle.
After all, the seats are limited, so most people are squatting or standing, but the bowls are full of fragrant meat, looking at each other with happy smiles on their faces.
For these villagers who have been poor all their lives, there is nothing more pleasing than eating meat with rice, so everyone's faces are red.
The sunset is like gold, sprinkled in this small mountain village surrounded by bamboo forests, there are fewer people in the barn field, but there are still young men on a few tables who are drinking orders, and tiger girls with big chicken legs are playing games with a group of children.
Lin Haoran's table is almost empty, and the old patriarch has been managing the dyeing workshop recently, so follow him to learn about the situation of the dyeing workshop. To his relief, the dyeing workshop was already on the right track.
Talented people arrange to dye cloth, while aggressive people arrange delivery to Electric White City. Shen Liuye's side has a good reputation, and every time the goods are delivered, he will settle the money at once.
"Nineteen, I heard that you are going to save some money to buy a restaurant?" The old patriarch asked suddenly.
Lin Haoran was about to answer, but saw a white-haired old lady holding a stick and walking tremblingly towards this side.
Alas!
The old patriarch followed his gaze and sighed softly.
Lin Haoran heard the old patriarch's sigh, and then saw the expressions of the others, and when he guessed that something might have happened, he gently put down the wine glass.
"Master Xiucai, the old body knelt down for you, and please save my granddaughter!" When the old lady came to the table, she knelt down to Lin Haoran in tears.
Lin Haoran and the old patriarch were anxious to help the old lady up, although the old lady's generation was only one generation higher than him, but for such an old man, this was not something that could be said by seniority.
Moreover, the old lady chose to come over at this time to talk about things, and I am afraid that she has endured it for a long time, in order not to spoil his wedding feast.
Things are undoubtedly sad, so when the old lady appeared, the young men at the next table all quieted down, no longer ordered drinking, and some people chose to leave.
After helping the old lady with tears to sit down on the bench and comforting her, Lin Haoran asked the old patriarch about the reason for the matter.
It turned out that the old lady's daughter Ah Yun was a maid in Jiang Mansion, and some time ago she was given to Jiang Juren's stupid son as a concubine by the Jiang family's housewife. Ah Yun has a strong temperament and is unwilling to marry the stupid son of the man as a concubine, so he fled overnight.
It's a pity that the person was captured and sent to Jiang Ju's house. When Jiang Juren's stupid son wanted to commit misdeeds to Ah Yun, she stabbed people with scissors hidden on her body and fled at night again.
In the end, the man was arrested again, not only severely beaten, but also sent to the official on charges of attempting to murder his husband.
"My poor Yun'er, she is only thirteen years old, what a sin!" The old lady listened to the old patriarch tell what had happened, and patted her thigh with tears in her eyes.
"What did Ayun say?" Lin Haoran found that this matter was completely fuss, what kind of murder was this, it was completely justified defense, but he still asked very cautiously.
"It's true! My son Erhu is the head of the cell, and he asked very carefully, Ah Yun was ruthless, as if there was a knife still stuck here! The old patriarch sighed secretly and gestured towards the position of the heart.
"How should this be judged according to common sense?" Lin Haoran looked at the old patriarch and asked.
"It depends on how the county is sentenced, the sentence is ten years in prison, and the worst is to be beheaded!"
"Beheaded? It doesn't constitute homicide, does it? Lin Haoran was immediately shocked, and his mouth opened slightly.
"Jiang Juren's son has a problem here, and the location of Ayun's stab is really scary, stabbing people and fleeing, this matter can constitute murder in the legal code, that is, temporary intentional killing, and the two are husband and wife, and they will be executed!" The old patriarch pointed to his head, and then said with a sigh.
Hush!
Lin Haoran gasped, this is really a vicious feudal society, but it is just a legitimate defense with scissors, and as a result, the defender may be dragged to beheaded.
However, he understood that if the legal code of this era was really like this, and Ah Yun did so. It would be difficult for him to rescue the thirteen-year-old girl in the flower season, after all, he was only a student.
Just looking at the white-haired old lady next to him, looking at her tears as big as soybeans, he felt compassion. comforted her a few words, and then promised her that she would go to Shicheng County tomorrow to meet the magistrate to see if she could find a way to rescue Ah Yun.
He naturally didn't have any bottom in his heart, after all, things were very unfavorable to Ah Yun, Ah Yun seemed to have a motive to kill at that time, and the other party's identity undoubtedly overwhelmed him.
"It's all dog-raised Jiangfu, it's really too deceitful!" Someone slapped the table hard and said through gritted teeth.
"Otherwise, a few of us will go to Jiangfu to throw a fire and let them know how good we are!" Someone else suggested.
"You idiots! If it worked, Lao Tzu would have taken you to do it a long time ago! Da Biao slapped the back of the man's chest, not because the number of people in Changlin Village was not good, but how to fight with knives and sticks with a flat pole?
For this matter, Lin Haoran actually felt guilty.
Because he opened the prelude to the battle with Jiang Mansion, Jiang Mansion was extremely unfriendly to the Changlin clan who were slaves and maids in Jiang Mansion during this time, and several people fled back because they were abused, and Ah Yun was given to Jiang Juren's stupid son, which was undoubtedly a part of Jiang Fu's revenge on Changlin Clan.
Recently, Jiangfu has been particularly restless, and he has found stone materials from nowhere, and plans to build a stone bridge on the original site of Pingyang Bridge, and the heart of suppressing the Changlin family is still immortal.
