With a "snap", Cui Rashi, who was sitting majestically in the public hall, knocked on the startled wood and shouted: "Who is coming, report your name!" ”

This is the official authority, an order, like a slap in the head, Liu Yuan, who came to the court for the first time, couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

However, Liu Yuan came from the later generations, and he saw a lot of big scenes, and he knew that this was just a means of deterrence, and he quickly came back to his senses, although he was unwilling, he had to kneel down and say: "The villain Liu Yuan, the current shopkeeper of the Jinyu family on Jinshui Street." ”

Compared with Liu Yuan's calmness, the few people led by Patriarch Liu, where have they ever seen such a big official as the Assassin History, this is a big official in the fourth grade, and they usually feel great when they can see the sesame petty officials of the ninth grade, thinking that they have seen the world, and now one is so frightened that he cowers, kneeling on the ground, and the end is almost touching the ground.

"Hurry up, what about Lord Thorn Shi replying to you?" The master on the side looked at a few kowtow insects, only to know that Lu Dao knelt and kowtowed, and compared with Liu Yuan, who was generous and generous on the side, it was simply the difference between cloud and mud, and he despised them from his heart.

"Big~~ adult, villain Liu Dekui, the patriarch of the Liu family in Jintian Village."

"Back ~~ back to the adult, the villain Liu Deyong, the patriarch of the Liu family in Jintian Village."

"The villain Liu Desheng, the patriarch of the Liu family in Jintian Village."

"Back ~~~ Back ~~ Big ~~ If you are an adult, the villain Liu ~~ Liu Guang, a native of Jintian Village, is Liu Yuan's eldest brother." Among the three, Liu Guang was the most unacceptable, and before the trial began, his face turned blue with fright.

Because there were too many people, a cadre of people waited in the hall, and four people led by Liu Dekui came up to confront Liu Yuan as representatives.

Cui Tingshi looked at Liu Yuan with a little hatred, and then slapped the wood again, "snapped", and said with a serious face:

"What are you waiting for, openly brawling and causing trouble in the streets?"

Liu Yuan preemptively said: "My lord, these people suddenly rushed in to arrest me, I was forced to let the house slaves stop them out of desperation, and they were the ones who made trouble." ”

"No, Liu Yuanmu has no elders, his brother came to visit him, he actually asked his brother and sister-in-law to be driven out of the city, and even the clan elders came, but they were also careless, openly contradicting me and a few clan elders, please make the decision for us." Patriarch Liu Dekui defended loudly: "That's it, in desperation, for the sake of the reputation of the clan, we took action to catch this beast and prepare to bring it back to my Liu ancestral hall for public interrogation, in order to pay respect." ”

Liu Yuan sneered and said, "Why? ”

"By virtue of my being the patriarch, by virtue of the fact that you are in the genealogy of our Liu family, according to the family rules, I have the right to control you."

"Really? So what did the family give me? I work all day long, I have to get up before dawn to work, I can't see before I can climb into bed, and when I can't eat enough and sleep every day, where are your rules? When I was beaten so much that I couldn't get out of bed, where were the rules? In the winter, when I slept in the cowshed and couldn't sleep all night, where were the clan rules? When my father starved to death and died of illness, where were the clan rules? When I was sent out as an apprentice at a young age, where were the clan rules? Liu Yuan screamed out in a lost voice.

The scene of the past seems to be repeated in his mind, although these hardships are not suffered by Liu Yuan, but these memories are also part of Liu Yuan's acceptance of this body, Liu Yuan has a feeling of empathy, as soon as he thinks of these, Liu Yuan's heart is like a knife, and he can't help but shout.

The slightly fat clan elder Liu Deyong said disapplausively: "Liu Yuan, your family is poor, and it is normal to suffer a little, as for sending you an apprentice, it is also with your consent, you should be grateful to your brother, if it weren't for him, would you have such an achievement today?" ”

Liu Guang kowtowed twice and said: "My lord, wronged, I admit that sometimes he doesn't do well, I am a little stricter, but, which family is not like this, as for eating and sleeping, it is definitely his nonsense, the crops are not good, there is something delicious, I let my younger brother eat first, I will eat after he eats, sleeping in the cowshed is indeed a thing, but it was windy, and his room was blown bad, I was afraid that it would be dangerous, so I let him live in the cowshed for two days, and let him move back as soon as it was repaired." ”

This Liu Guang, who used to be submissive and listened to his wife for everything, suddenly has such an idea today, needless to say, nine times out of ten, the master taught him to say this, and this master, nine times out of ten, was taught by Liu Dekui, the uncle of the fat woman Chen Guizhi.

It's amazing, only the light, not the heavy, and downplays everything, as if these are what he should do.

"Liu Guang, what qualifications do you have to care about me, you only have that fat woman in your eyes, how did your father die, you forgot, I really raised you for nothing." Liu Yuan stared at Liu Guang, his eyes full of sarcasm and disregard.

When it comes to the death of his father, Liu Guang is still a little guilty in the deepest part of his heart, others say that he has nothing to say, but as soon as Liu Yuan said it, it was like touching his scales, and he immediately said angrily: "What qualifications, my father is not here, my eldest brother is my father, you have to listen to me." ”

Several people were arguing below, and Cui Tingshi, who was sitting in the hall, also understood, since he understood the truth of the matter, this matter would be easy to do.

"Slap" Cui Tingshi slapped the startled wood, and suddenly several people who were arguing suddenly quieted down, and turned their heads down again.

"Bold, under the court, where is your turn to make noise at will, this official also understands, that is, the contradiction between the two brothers Liu Yuan and Liu Guang, Liu Guang, you are the elder brother, let you speak first." When he came to the court, there was a procedure for everything, and Cui Tingshi asked Liu Guang to say it first.

"Yes, sir." Liu Guang was overjoyed, so after Liu Yuan learned it, he was arrogant, disrespected his eldest brother and didn't love his eldest sister-in-law, and told him about his expulsion from the Jinyu family, and then cautiously said that the starting point for doing this was also for Liu Yuan's good, for fear that he would be young and easily misled by others.

It's magnificent.

Cui Tingshi twisted his beard to listen to Liu Guang, then turned his head to Liu Yuan and said: "Liu Yuan, now it's your turn to say, if you have anything to say, you can say it, if what you say is the truth, this official will be the master for you." ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, sure enough, there are people in the court who are easy to do, and he and this Cui Tingshi can be said to have a two-sided relationship, and when they meet for the second time, they have a good impression, and now they say it like this, it seems that they are biased towards their own side, and it seems that the punishment is beneficial to themselves.

So, Liu Yuan told Liu Guang and Chen Guizhi how they slandered their father, let their father fend for himself, and how they abused themselves when they were children.

"Okay, I have listened to the testimony of your two brothers, Liu Dekui" Cui Tingshi didn't say anything after listening to it, but called the patriarch of the Liu family.

"The villain is here."

"What do you think of this matter, your patriarch?" Cui Tingshi asked unhurriedly.

Liu Dekui was afraid in his heart, and felt that the people here seemed to be biased towards Liu Yuan, but he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction, and when he heard Lord Assassin Shi ask himself, he hurriedly responded:

"My lord, our patriarch, for the two juniors in the same room, really feel very sad, although Liu Guang is my nephew and son-in-law, but I know that he is still very good, his old father and immorality, this ~~~ This is what I saw with my own eyes, everyone in the clan thinks that he is a sinful, do not serve him, there is no problem, that is retribution, the family has a difficult scripture, the two brothers are a little quarrelsome, it is also normal, the villain ~~~ The villain thinks~~~"

Cui Tingshi asked lightly: "What do you think, just say it." ”

"Yes, yes, yes" Liu Dekui wiped the sweat drops on his forehead and said carefully: "According to the law, this is a family matter, and it should be handed over to a few of our clan elders in the ancestral hall for public trial~~~." ”

In the old days, the family and the clan family were very important, and the law stipulated that when there were some entangled family affairs, the government would not accept them, and they would directly hand them over to the elders of the clan to decide at a meeting, which was the reason why those patriarchs and elders had so much power in the old days.

Li Tang won the world and created the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, when he first started to fight the country, he also relied on the support of the scholars, so in terms of "family affairs", it was to delegate power.

"What do you two think?" Cui Tingshi turned his head and asked the two clan elders who came with Liu Dekui.

"What the patriarch means, is also what I mean, please ~~~ Everyone hand over Liu Yuan to us to deal with." Liu Deyong plucked up the courage to say.

Liu Desheng kowtowed and said respectfully: "My lord, Liu Yuan suffered a little when he was a child, and I also heard a little, but I think it was his will to train, his parents are not there, the eldest brother is the father, and it is understandable to be stricter. ”

"Now Liu Yuan is self-taught, and his talent in literature is amazing, it's a pity to be a businessman, a few of our old ones have discussed it, let his brother come forward to run it for him, he concentrates on studying the book of sages, and our Liu family will fully support him, he can study and succeed in the future, and it can be regarded as a glorious lintel for our Liu family."

This Liu Desheng is reasonable.

Not all clan elders are bad, eccentric, he can come here with him, it was Liu Dekui who attracted him with the idea of cultivating Liu Low to be a scholar.

Cui Tingshi pondered for a while, turned his head to Liu Yuan and said, "Liu Yuan"

"The villain is here."

"You said that your brother and sister-in-law slandered the elders and abused you, but there are any witnesses and material evidence?"

What the? Witnesses? Evidence?

After so many years of this incident, where is there any physical evidence, when I was young, I wouldn't have collected these things, as for human witnesses? Not to mention, a Liu Guang did it secretly, scaring himself not to publicize it to the outside world, or not to give himself food, to beat himself, just to say that someone really saw it, under the majesty of the patriarch, who would help him come out? What's more, Heiba injured several people just now, and now those villagers look at themselves with resentment in their eyes......

There were a lot of scars before, but after so long, the scars have grown well, and I can't see it, and even if I find it, it can't prove that it was Liu Guang.

"Back to my lord, it took too long, and I rarely told outsiders that I had no physical evidence in my hands ~~~." Liu Yuan bit his lip and said hatefully.

Cui Tingshi's "snap" sounded the shocking wood, attracting everyone's attention, and then said slowly:

"There is no evidence, and there is no physical evidence, there is no way to talk about this matter, as the saying goes, Qing officials can judge family affairs, according to my Datang practice, this matter is changed to the ancestral hall of the Liu clan with clan rules and family law for public trial, read you and other ignorance, so as to avoid the crime of disturbing the court."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan's complexion changed greatly, and Liu Guang, Liu Dekui, and the two elders of the clan showed ecstasy.

No one expected that Lord Shi, who seemed to be biased towards Liu Yuan just now, would make a judgment that was only beneficial to Liu Guang.
