Chapter 71
Mrs. Su and Su Han rushed to the county government office without stopping. They wanted to see Mr. Su first, but they were stopped by the guards. It was impossible because the county magistrate had an order not to meet the suspect privately.
Su Han said: "My father has not been convicted yet, why can't he see him?"
The officer said with a strong voice: "That's why I said he is a suspect, and whether he is convicted or not, it doesn't matter what you say, and it doesn't matter if I say it."
It was simply too much. Although Su Han was angry, he still suppressed himself and said: "I am a new imperial examination candidate. You arrested my father and did not allow me to see him. Is it okay for me to see the county magistrate?"
After hearing this, the guard looked at him with slight surprise, and his tone softened, and he said: "That's fine, but is there any post?"
Su Han choked for a moment. He was in a hurry. How could he think of writing a post? When the officer saw him like this, he knew that he didn't bring a message, so he said: "Please wait here for a moment, and let me go and report to the great master."
After he finished speaking, he went into the yamen. Su Han, Mrs. Su and several servants were waiting at the gate of the county yamen. After a long time, the officer came out and said, "Please."
Su Han and Mrs. Su were led into the county government office, but instead of going to the back hall like Xie Ling did before, they entered the court hall.
Mrs. Su was a little uneasy. It was her first time to come to such a place, but Su Han patted her hand to reassure her.
The officers came up and sang a song, and a man in official uniform came out from behind. It was Li Jingzhai, the magistrate of Suyang County.
According to the laws of the Qian Dynasty, a person can visit the county magistrate without kneeling down, so Su Han only had to raise his hands to salute, while his mother, Mrs. Su, had to kneel down to salute.
Also because Su Han was a civil servant, Li Jingzhai was kind to him and asked him why he came.
Su Han replied: "To be honest, I came here for my father. Today, a police officer came to the house and said that my father had taken possession of other people's property and was taken back to the county government office."
Li Jingzhai twirled his beard and nodded: "It is indeed true, but the case has not yet been tried."
Su Han cupped his hands and said, "Sir, this is really unjust. My father is a businessman and has always abided by the law. How could he embezzle other people's property?"
Li Jingzhai had heard Xie Ling's story earlier and was a little unhappy with this family. Now he heard Su Han cry out for injustice and said, "Whether it's injustice or not, we have to go through the trial to find out. Do you know whose property your father has embezzled?" family property?"
Su Han opened his mouth and almost blurted out Xie Ling's name, but at that moment, he suddenly remembered something, and the words immediately turned around: "I don't know what to say to you, sir."
Li Jingzhai raised his eyebrows and was stunned: "Take the suspect Su Moyou."
When Mrs. Su saw him like this, she almost shed tears. If it weren't for him in court, she would have pounced on him.
Su Han quickly stopped her. After Mr. Su came up and knelt down, Li Jingzhai asked again: "Friend Su Mo, do you know who accused you of embezzling other people's property?"
Su Han opened his mouth, but before he could stop him, Mr. Su blurted out angrily: "Who else could it be? Isn't it that boy Xie Ling?! The turtle grandson who repays kindness with revenge!"
"Dad! Stop talking!"
Su Han was anxious. According to his and Mrs. Su's plan, the jade pendant originally belonged to his family and had nothing to do with Xie Ling. Naturally, they didn't know who had complained to Mr. Su. This was why Su Han refused to answer before. The reason, and Mr. Su had been thinking about it all morning in the office today. No matter how stupid he was, he came to his senses. That boy Xie Ling was playing tricks on him!
Su Han was too late to stop him, but he heard Li Jingzhai say: "Okay, that's right. This person is indeed the one who sued you."
Mr. Su's eyes widened and he wanted to speak, but Su Han stopped him: "Dad! Listen to the county magistrate."
Li Jingzhai glanced at him and continued slowly: "Early this morning, a man named Xie Ling came and said that Su Moyou had robbed his family property, which was a relic passed down from his father, a goldfish and jade pendant, but Is this happening?"
Su Han replied: "My lord, this is absolutely not the case. There is something hidden in it. Please allow us to explain it."
Li Jingzhai said: "Okay, I am not one of those people who only listens and believes. Come and listen."
&nbs?? something. "
He said, took out a letter and presented it: "Your Excellency, please take a look."
As soon as he saw the letter, Mr. Su's face suddenly turned pale, with an expression as if he had been struck by lightning. Neither Su Han nor Mrs. Su understood its meaning, and only looked at the clerk with confused eyes as he took the letter. , presented to Li Jingzhai.
Li Jingzhai opened the letter and read it at a glance. Suddenly, he was shocked and shouted: "How dare you, a father and son, to deceive me!"
He slapped the page of letter against the official case and said angrily: "This letter clearly states that Su Moyou is willing to betroth his newborn daughter Su Miao'er to Xie Liu's son Xie Ling, and the two families will become friends with Qin and Jin." , and also separated a pair of goldfish and jade pendants, one for each family, as a token!"
He said, looking at the Su family father and son who were both stunned, and said: "Now that we are in court, you still dare to play tricks and fool us. I think it is you who are talking nonsense!"
Li Jingzhai slapped the table again, pointed at Su Han's nose and cursed: "Especially you! You are a good person, but you are full of lies. Your body is not upright, your actions are unjust, and you are so shameless!"
Every time he cursed, Su Han's expression became uglier. After he finished cursing, the expression on Su Han's face was unreadable. He never dreamed that Xie Ling actually had this trump card in his hand!
Mr. Su, on the other hand, looked dejected and utterly defeated.
