Chapter 118

“The Qin family sued?”

Zhang Fangyuan sneered coldly when he was puzzled.

“I didn’t pay attention to this Qin Shang, but he still has the face to sue the county government.”

Xu He had never been involved in a lawsuit, and seeing the summons from the county government, he felt a little uneasy: “Then what should I do?”

“The summons from the yamen is definitely going there. Fortunately, it’s tomorrow. I’m going to invite a litigator today.”

Xu He always felt that the matter was not that simple, and some things were not settled. He felt that the matter was caused by himself, and the plaintiff and the defendant would have no face in such a lawsuit. I don’t know why the Qin family would make things big.

Zhang Fangyuan comforted him, “Go there tomorrow and you’ll know who it is.”

On the next day, Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He went to the county government office together. If there was a lawsuit, it would be posted on the notice board at the entrance of the county government office.

As expected today, a new notice was posted, and there were common people watching while going to and fro. Zhang Fangyuan was about to step forward to take a look, but was yelled in by the yamen’s servant.

The plaintiff had already appeared in court, and the gate of the yamen that accompanied him and Xu He into the court was closed with a creak.

Xu He looked at Zhang Fangyuan puzzled: “What is this for?”

Although I have never been here to accept a lawsuit, but I have seen lawsuits when I passed by the county government for several years in the city. It is said that I have never eaten pork and seen pigs running. Often when the government accepts the case, there will be many relatives, friends and common people watching the excitement outside. The door was still closed this morning.

“If the door is closed, it will not be accepted publicly. The results can be seen, no problem.”

Xu He breathed a sigh of relief.

The Qin family who came this time was not only Qin Shang, but also his father Qin Hongde.

Zhang Fangyuan originally thought that it was Qin Shang who was angry and complained after being beaten, but it was his father who came to join in the fun.

When the two parties arrived, when the time was up, the magistrate gave a gavel, the two rows shouted mighty in surprise, and then shut down with a gavel.

The plaintiff then filed a complaint.

Yitong read out the identity information of the plaintiff and the defendant, the request, facts and reasons…

“After the incident, the plaintiff, Fang Qinshang, was inspecting the store business at home and wanted to return home with his servants. On the way, he met the second defendant, Xu He. This little brother took the initiative to chat with the plaintiff, using frivolous words in an attempt to seduce him again.”

“The plaintiff was an upright person, and he didn’t want to get along with him. Unexpectedly, the second defendant was so obsessed with him that he lost his food basket and blackmailed him. He turned his back on the customer and yelled at the plaintiff for molesting. The plaintiff Zhang Fangyuan suddenly appeared at this time and took the opportunity to beat the plaintiff. Qin Shang.”

Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He heard more and more things went wrong, Xu He was anxious, this was completely a false accusation, he said angrily: “You are talking nonsense!”

“Whatever you shout, don’t shout in court! It’s your turn to say anything.”

Being scolded by the magistrate, Xu He shut his mouth unwillingly.

“Today, I ask Master Qingtian to uphold justice, order the defendant to compensate the plaintiff for medical expenses, and punish bad business competition!”

Hearing this, Zhang Fangyuan finally saw the clues. It is false to seek justice today, but it is true that he wants to continue to make troubles and use his strength to suppress the Zhang family’s business.

He glanced at Qin Hongde and narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Defendant Zhang Fangyuan, now the plaintiff, Qin Shang, is suing you because of bad business competition, and the husband and wife worked together to frame Qin Shang for molesting, taking the opportunity to beat you, can you admit it?”

“Caomin refuses to accept Qin Shang’s complaint.” Zhang Fangyuan said coldly: “Caomin Fulang went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, but when he was out of the vegetable market, Qin Shang unreasonably entangled him with frivolous intentions. Qin Shang brought a group of servants At the same time, the weak little brother is not an opponent, and Caomin sees that Husband is being bullied, how can he just sit idly by and take action, which is definitely not what the plaintiff said.”

The county magistrate said: “Since both parties insist on their own opinions, then they must produce evidence.”

The lawyer of the Qin family hurriedly delivered the evidence: “The injury on the plaintiff’s face has not healed so far, and a servant with minor or severe injuries is regarded as a witness. Now there is a prescription prescribed by Dr. Shencaotang, which is recorded as physical evidence. The county magistrate Please take a look.”

The county magistrate took a quick glance, nodded, and then looked towards Zhang Fangyuan: “Do you have any evidence to submit?”

“The incident happened suddenly, and Qin Shang is frivolous and difficult to obtain evidence. We have no evidence yet. But I want to ask the plaintiff something.”

“You ask.”

Zhang Fangyuan said: “The complaint said that Caomin and his husband took the opportunity to find trouble to beat Qin Shang because the business under his hand was in competition with the Qin family’s business, and they maliciously competed for revenge. If this is the case, why did only our husband and wife Faced with Qin Shang being alone, there are several young men from the Qin family with their servants.”

“The Qin family’s injured servant can also be our witness!”

“The defendant should not make false accusations in court. Evidence shall be on evidence.” Qin Hongde said coldly, “If there is no available evidence, then this case is your eloquent tongue, right and wrong.”

“Please the magistrate of the county handle it impartially, and give justice to the grassroots!”

The county magistrate gave another gavel: “Since the defendant has no evidence to submit, the case will be closed first, and the court will be opened seven days later with evidence. If there is no strong evidence to identify, the plaintiff will win the case.”

Zhang Fangyuan was about to speak, but the county magistrate didn’t want to accept it anymore.

“Retire!”

“mighty…”

The county magistrate retreated, Qin Hongde straightened his sleeves, looked at the couple who were still standing in the hall and said: “Little brother Zhang, the magistrate has all retired, let’s go.”

Zhang Fangyuan gave him a cold look, and led Xu He out of the county office.

Qin Hongde and Qin Shang followed and stopped the two people who were about to leave in front of the Zhang family’s carriage. Qin Hongde smiled and said, “Little brother Zhang, the magistrate of the county is going to judge the case in five days. .I heard that your son will leave the scientific examination this year, if this case is recorded as a fault of his father’s generation, I don’t know if he can continue to leave next year.”

“What do you mean?”

“My humble meaning is very simple. Seeing that little brother Zhang has to be busy with business and taking care of the family’s children in scientific examinations, he is really busy. Why do you need to work so hard? Wouldn’t it be much easier to close the two shops?”

Qin Hongde said casually: “It’s not the first day that I and Brother Zhang have known each other, and they are old acquaintances, and I will certainly not trouble Brother Zhang at that time, so I withdraw the lawsuit on my own, so it will make the magistrate feel at ease. ”

Seeing the calm old slippery man, Xu He gritted his teeth with hatred, and waited for the people to leave before he and Zhang Fangyuan got into their carriage.

“It’s shameful for the Qin family to be true. It’s fine to confuse black and white and make false accusations, and now they are using children as a threat.” Xu He was angry and wronged, his eyes were a little red: “What if we lose the lawsuit?”

He was genuinely worried, both of them knew it well, Qin Hongde was so confident because he knew that it was difficult for them to obtain evidence, and secondly, although the magistrate of Tangshang County didn’t say anything, he obviously favored the Qin family.

“In recent years, I have been managing the county government a lot. The county magistrate responds to everything that the county government handles. It’s not the first time the county magistrate has seen me. I don’t know why he is biased towards the Qin family.”

He doesn’t ask for anything else, as long as the county magistrate is fair, it won’t bother him. Evidence can be found, but if the person in charge is on the other side, no matter how strong the evidence is, it will be useless.

This is undoubtedly the most difficult part.

The two went back with a lot of worries, Zhang Fangyuan sent someone to inquire about the relationship between the Qin family and the county government, and arranged to go to find evidence.

There is no physical evidence, and it is difficult to find human witnesses. Once you testify in court, if you stand on one side, you will definitely offend the other side. It is not just a person who offends, but it is a matter of a family and a clan.

The Qin family has been in Siyang for many years, and most of the people in the city know that he is a bully. After so many years in Yurou Township, no one dares to sue for bullying men and women. He lost the lawsuit and was kicked out of the city.

The incident happened in a busy city that day, and there were many witnesses, but Zhang Fangyuan sent people to search around, but no one dared to stand up.

The couple left early and returned late. Although the case was not publicly accepted, a notice was posted, and the people in the city still knew about the case.

Merchants are generally watching the excitement. No matter who loses the lawsuit, the business will definitely be damaged, which is a good thing for competitors.

The common people wondered if Qin Hongde could be sued, so that the Qin family would no longer be so arrogant.

There was an uproar in the city, Xiaomao naturally also learned of this, and brought Zhuang Qi to Zhang’s house.

“The Qin family came to the martial arts hall. Qin Hongde was dissatisfied with the Ji’an martial arts hall for a long time. This year, he opened a branch in the east of the city. He couldn’t sit still. His son was being taught a lesson again. He must be resentful. This incident is also reasonable.”

Zhuang Qi frowned: “Business is important, but you can’t miss Ruijin. If you can’t find evidence, then negotiate with the Qin family and see if the martial arts hall in the east of the city will be closed?”

“The martial arts gym has been operated hard in the past few years without putting in a lot of energy. The people in that big martial arts hall have been dismissed. How can we still pick up the reputation that has been built so hard?”

Zhang Fangyuan sighed: “Qin Hongde didn’t find fault with the Shan Wuguan. In the past when I was in the charcoal fire business, I didn’t give him any profit, so I held a grudge against him. In the past two years, I blocked his way and opened up business routes. If he hits the Qin family’s business, he would really like the Zhang family to die.”

“Even if he takes a step back today, he will continue to make troubles in the future. On the contrary, he will increase his arrogance even more, and use this as an excuse to keep making troubles. He will not stop until the Zhang family is completely collapsed.”

The atmosphere in the house was not very bright, although they didn’t tell the two children anything, but they saw their father going out every day, and the people who went in and out of the house to talk about things also looked dignified, Ruijin Ruili unanimously noticed that something happened at home.

“It can’t be that the business is losing money. Daddy is planning to sell the house to fill the hole. From then on, we will live a hard life? If we owe a lot of money and sell the house and still can’t pay, will you sell me to someone else’s house as a child bride?” what!”

Ruijin squinted at the edge of the door, and peeked at Brother Li in the conference hall: “You eat so much every day, who can afford you.”

Brother Xiaoli ran to Ruijin: “If you don’t sell me, you can only sell brother, and go to work as a cow or a horse for a rich family. Can brother do those jobs?”

“Why do you sell it to be a child bride-in-law, and I am a servant and a cow and a horse?”

“It’s because of my beauty!”

Ruijin put down her pen: “You and I are twins, what you can have, will I not?”

“It also makes sense.” Brother Xiaoli thought thoughtfully: “In this case, then brother should go to be a foster husband. Brother Xiaoxing’s family is richer than ours. Master also likes elder brother, maybe there is still hope.”

“Oiyo.” Brother Bi Xiaoli got a slap on the head, he quickly covered his head, pouted and said, “That’s why I’m not as tall as brother because of the frequent hits on the head.”

“If you continue to talk nonsense in the future, I won’t cover you for reading the story books in Master’s class. It’s because you read too many story books.”

“Humph.”

Brother Xiao Li rubbed his head and fell on the soft couch.

Ruijin glanced at the direction of the meeting hall, and couldn’t help raising her eyebrows.

He is precocious but young, as the eldest son and elder brother, he can’t share the worries of family affairs, and it is rare for him to have peace of mind.

If the family is really worried about business matters, he will be a little confused.

The family runs a business, but he is so focused on his studies and exams that he can’t share his worries with his father. Is it right? Maybe he should learn how to run a business and run a shop with his father.

Ruijin was troubled in his heart, Brother Xiaoli tilted his head to see his expression: “Brother is angry?”

“You go back to the house, don’t make troubles and make daddy worry these two days.”

“I know.” Brother Xiaoli said, “Tomorrow the children’s exam results will be released, and Dad is busy, so I will go to see the results with my brother tomorrow.”
