    Li Jiahua and Li Jingwen got on the bullock cart that Xu Yonglai had harnessed, and followed the yamen servant with Dali. Feng San saw that there was no man in charge at home, so he left Feng Si behind, and rode on his horse to go to Qingniu Town to follow his master.  Report, and then followed the master and shopkeeper Liu to the county seat.

    The Li family was not the plaintiff, but the Yu family had already made an agreement with the county magistrate, so as soon as they arrived, they were taken into the lobby.

    "Who is here, please tell me your name?" The county magistrate glanced at Li Jiahua and his daughter with squinted eyes, patted the door and asked in a pretentious manner.

    "Li Jiahua, a common man." Li Jiahua bowed his hands to the county magistrate.

    "Folk girl Li Jingwen." Li Jingwen stepped forward and gave a blessing ceremony: Fortunately, the Taizu of this dynasty came from modern times and didn't like people to kneel to him frequently, except for a few special occasions:  For example, when paying New Year's greetings, birthday greetings, paying homage to a teacher, kneeling to the spirit, etc., there is generally no need to kneel down.

    "The Yu family is suing you for blackmail. Li Jiahua first sold his daughter Li Jingwen to the Yu family as a concubine, and then regretted it and kicked out the Yu family's servant who went to pick up the bride. Is this true?"

    "The county master said: The common people don't know Mr. Yu, nor have they met Mr. Yu, let alone want to sell their daughter to Mr. Yu. That day, a group of people suddenly came to the house with gongs and drums to welcome the bride. We were baffled. The little girl is not yet twelve years old.  She is 6 years old and has no marriage, so how could someone come to greet her?"

    "Later, the steward of the Yu family explained to me that Li Jiarong, the elder brother of Cao Min, signed a contract of sale and sold his daughter to the master of the Yu family as his concubine in the sixteenth room."

    "The common people are stupid. They have never read books and have not seen the world. However, they also know that the little girl has both parents and is separated from her parents. An uncle living next door is not qualified to sell the little girl. Therefore, they think that the steward of the Yu family is either joking.  , or they got the wrong person, and after sending them away, they didn't take it to heart." Li Jiahua calmly answered.

    These words were spoken by Li Jing Wenjiao on the way here. She told him that they were justified in this matter, and they had Chu Yunhao's support behind them. They didn't need to be afraid of a county magistrate. In addition, he found that Chu Yunhao and Shopkeeper Liu were both  Looking at it from the outside, I feel confident in my heart.

    Having confidence in their hearts and having reason on their side, they were less nervous when facing the county magistrate. Not only did he speak clearly, but he also had well-founded reasons, unlike a farmer who had never read a book or seen the world.

    "Unexpectedly, the government officials actually came and said that someone was accusing us of blackmail. The common people couldn't understand. We neither signed the deed of selling ourselves, nor received the money for selling ourselves. Who did we blackmail?" Li Jiahua looked at the county.  The grandfather looked puzzled.

    "Yes, I can't understand it either. My father's leg was injured and he has been recuperating at home. He hasn't been out for several months. No one he doesn't know has come to visit the house, let alone interact with the Yu family. We really can't  Do you know when my father sold me? Please ask the county master to clarify our doubts." Li Jingwen added.

    "Plaintiff, tell me, what exactly is going on?" the county magistrate asked the housekeeper of Yu Mansion who was standing nearby.

    "Master, this is what happened. Our master doesn't know Li Jiahua, nor did he sign the deed of sale in person. Instead, Li Jiahua's elder brother, Li Jiarong Xiucai, came to our master with the deed of sale, complaining about his second brother's legs.  He was seriously injured and his family had no food for the night.¡±

    "In order to prevent the family from starving to death, he was willing to sell his eldest daughter Li Jingwen to our family to be a little girl. Our master heard that this girl was filial and sensible, and couldn't bear to let her serve others as a girl, so he thought about himself  If you take her in, you can give the Li family more money and save the Li family from disaster."

    "The girl doesn't have to suffer the pain of being a rough girl. She can also help our family. Why not? So I rewarded the Li family with three hundred taels of silver and promised to marry her with the gift of being a concubine."  , I didn¡¯t expect that the Li family went back on their word, refused to acknowledge the matter, and even injured all the servants sent by our master to welcome the bride."

    "Later, scholar Li Jiarong came to the Yu family to apologize, saying that her niece was ignorant and unwilling to be a concubine. She begged our master to give him two days' grace. He would do a good job in his niece's ideological work and then send her over. But the time limit  I have gone there a long time ago, but there is still no sign of anyone, so our master asked me to file a complaint with the Yamen." Butler Yu said calmly.

    "Since Li Jiahua didn't sign the deed of betrayal in front of you, how do you know that he signed the deed of betrayal?" After hearing what Butler Yu said, the expression on the county prince's face became a little ugly. How could anyone sign a deed of betrayal like this?

    "Li Jiarong is a scholar and Li Jiahua's brother. We believe in him." Butler Yu said expressionlessly.

    "Pfft!" Li Jingwen sneered, "Butler Yu, I want to ask you, my father is Li Jiarong's brother, he is about to starve to death, heAs a scholar, my brother has dozens of acres of land at home. Why doesn't he help?  Or directly help him sell his daughter?  "

    "This is other people's business, we have nothing to do with it." Butler Yu said with a dark face.

    "Yes, you're right. You can't control other people's affairs. So, why does Li Jiarong, a stubborn brother who refuses to save anyone, come to care about our affairs? You haven't met my father and you haven't asked for his permission.  "Why do you think that the sale deed was written by my father? Also, did any of you see the three hundred taels of silver reward given to my father?" Li Jingwen asked.

    "I said, Li Jiarong is his brother, how could he be greedy for his money." Housekeeper Yu was not happy. A yellow-haired girl has not entered Yu's house yet, why should she be aggressive to him?

    "Master County, I didn't know Li Jiarong sold my daughter. I neither signed the deed of sale nor saw the money. I ask the County Master to make a clear decision." Li Jiahua saluted the County Master again.

    "Li Jiarong said that you begged him to find a kind owner for your daughter. He thought that our Yu family is a kind family and there is not much more than one girl, so he asked our father. Our father was kind-hearted and took the job.  He handed over the deed of sale and gave money on the spot. If you want to regret it now, it's too late." Butler Yu said with a sneer.

    "I begged him to help me sell my daughter? Our family now has food, clothing and a house to live in. Why should we sell our daughter?" Li Jiahua asked.

    "He said that your leg was seriously injured and you couldn't work. The family had no fields, soil, or house, and no money or rice, so he wanted to sell his daughter to get some money to survive."

    "Do you think we, father and son, look like we have no food to eat?" Li Jiahua looked at him like he was an idiot: After moving to the village entrance, their whole family changed into fine cotton clothes. How could a family without an overnight stay?  Can you afford muslin?

    "More than two months ago, I broke my leg while working in a neighboring village, and it was a comminuted fracture. The doctor in the town said that my leg couldn't be cured, so the old father at home took us out of the house and lived in the original place.  I still have to pay a hundred cents a month in rent for my wing.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
