Chapter 383
Doctor Yu and Mrs. Gan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Yu Dashi said:... There is no reason for this. It is a little girl. This little girl suddenly doesn't want to marry again. Hezhou is too far away and she will miss her parents. The little girl is filial to her..."
"This is not a reason!" Zuo Shaoyang interrupted his cold words, "Our family is in Hezhou and we will marry Hezhou by then. I had already told Ling Er clearly during the blind date yesterday. She didn't know and did not express any objection. On the contrary, Hezhou is still interested."
"The little girl didn't think about it yesterday. She asked someone last night and learned that Hezhou was very remote and far away. The little girl was delicate and couldn't bear the hardship. You just think about it..."
Before Zuo Shaoyang could speak, Zuo Gui's father's sharp voice came from upstairs: "Come on Zhong'er, don't talk nonsense to them! The betrothal gift has been given, and his daughter is our Yu family! When the sedan chair can't receive anyone, he will go straight to the yamen to complain to the injustice! The official will beat him up and give his daughter to our family! I don't want to break up like this, but you people in the capital are too bullying, so you can only do this!"
Zuo Shaoyang bowed his hand and turned to the building, followed by Bai Zhihan.
Doctor Yu and his wife bowed upstairs with sad faces and begged in unison. Finally, they knelt on the ground and begged, and the servants behind them also knelt down and begged. For a moment, there was a noisy in the inn, and many people came out to watch. After learning the truth, everyone pointed to the Yu family's lack of credibility and encouraged the Zuo family to go to the yamen to complain.
Doctor Yu's face turned red and white, and his wife burst into tears. However, this time, Zuo Gui's father was determined to seek justice and ignored him. Doctor Yu had no choice but to take his wife's servant out of the inn with his betrothal gifts and property.
In the guest room, Zuo Gui's father sat on the chair with a blue face, holding tea and drinking, but anyone could tell that his mind was not on drinking tea at all, and his hands holding the tea jar were trembling. No one in the room spoke.
At this time, someone knocked on the door gently. Ding Xiaosan hurriedly ran over and opened the door, but Qiao Qiaoer was standing at the door. An old mother helped her and walked in slowly.
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said, "Qiao'er, why are you getting up?"
"I saw everything just now." Qiao Qiaoer smiled reluctantly and said to Zuo Gui's father: "Uncle, if the other party decides to repent, he will probably not be afraid of a lawsuit. They are imperial physicians, and I am worried that there will be someone behind them. Otherwise, I will ask my brother to go to the Beijing Yamen County Government to find the County Magistrate Peng and talk about this matter first, so as not to make trouble for the other party."
Zuo Gui's father said angrily: "No! I just fight like this. I have a marriage letter and a betrothal gift. Can't I win this lawsuit? Humph! Is there really no king's law?"
Qiao Qiaoer was disheartened and blushed and didn't know what to do.
Bai Zhihan whispered, "Master, suing is different from other things. If there is no one, I am afraid that the black one can be said to be white."
Zuo Gui's father was furious and he said that in anger. He also knew that in many cases, he was just a relationship. The other party was the imperial physician of Emperor Gaozu, that is, the person around the emperor. If he didn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, if he didn't look for a relationship, the lawsuit might not be won. He suppressed his anger and waved, "Miss Qiao'er, come in and talk."
Bai Zhihan went over to help Qiao Qiaoer into the house. "Sit down next to her, Zuo Gui said, "Miss Qiaoer, are your brother familiar with the county magistrate Peng from Chang'an?"
"Not very familiar" but it should be able to speak."
The capital of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was called Jingzhao, and there were two administrative agencies. "One level is Chang'an County and the other level is Jingzhao Prefecture. Although Chang'an County is at the same county level as other counties, the level of the chief executive is much higher than that of other counties. The county magistrate of ordinary middle counties is only at the seventh rank, while the county magistrate of Chang'an County is at the fifth rank.
The county magistrate of Chang'an County Yamen is responsible for the trial of civil cases of marriage disputes in Chang'an. The magistrate of Chang'an County is also higher than that of ordinary counties, reaching the eighth rank. Dali Temple is the highest judicial organ of the Tang Dynasty. From the litigation perspective, Dali Temple is equivalent to the current Supreme Court, while Chang'an County Yamen is equivalent to the grassroots court.
In the Tang Dynasty, civil cases were generally heard by county-level yamen and final trial in the first instance, and cannot be appealed. Of course, civil cases involving officials or major influences should be reported to the prefecture for review at the first level. If it is particularly influential, it may even be reported to the "Three Offices Prisoners" composed of the Minister of Justice, the Censor, and the Dali Temple Minister. Or the Emperor's ruling.
That is almost a theoretical thing. Therefore, in principle, Dali Temple does not hear civil cases.
Qiao Guan held a position as a judge of the Dali, equivalent to the head of the Criminal Court of the Supreme Court. He had no professional leadership or guidance relationship with the Chang'an County Magistrate. Moreover, he was at the same level as the Chang'an County Magistrate, both of whom were from the eighth rank. However, even if he was not familiar with him, he could still speak.
Zuo Gui's father pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, please ask your brother to help this. I know that it costs money to sue. Just speak as much as you need. No matter how much it costs, I must win this lawsuit! I exclaimed this anger!"
"Okay, I'll send someone to find my brother now.
"Please!"
Qiao Qiaoer ordered Zhou'er, who was taking care of her, to call her brother Qiao Guan. Zuo Shaoyang asked Zhou'er to wait first and said to his father Zuo Gui: "Father, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time."
"What are you going to do? People are riding on our noses and shit, what else can I do? I can tell you that I can't swallow this tone no matter what! I can't help me, but I will never advise me!"
When Zuo Shaoyang saw his father Zuo Gui's look angry, he knew that he was really angry when he walked around this time. He thought about it, and he regretted the marriage twice and twice. Even the Clay Buddha was still three-thirds more rustic. Although his father Zuo Gui was generous to others, he was not a coward.
However, for Zuo Shaoyang, the matter of remorse and marriage is not as unacceptable as Zuo Gui's father. Nowadays, marriage is free. As long as you don't get a marriage certificate, both men and women can regret breaking up. Although it will be sad, you will get along with each other when you get along with each other. If you don't get along with each other, you will break up. Modern young people generally think this way. No one is afraid of not being able to get married and not being able to get married, so they will not feel that they are insulted.
As for these three girls, Zuo Shaoyang was just a match, and it felt pretty good. In ancient times, it was not allowed to fall in love slowly. If you think it was good, you would marry him. Anyway, the main purpose was to make the three women Miao Peilan and the others. As long as they could get along with them, they would be fine. So although these three women were a little angry, Zuo Shaoyang was not as angry as Zuo Gui. With his thoughts, since he was unhappy with me, he would just leave. At worst, he could look for him again. But now seeing Zuo Gui's father so angry, he could understand why he was like this.
Zuo Shaoyang did not intend to persuade his father to make a big fuss, but he said, "Father, I am not trying to persuade you, but I want to say that this matter is not simple, and I must make a long-term plan! The so-called plan is decided before moving." Zuo Gui's father looked at Zuo Shaoyang: "What do you mean?"
"You think, the Gao family, Li family, and Yu family in the past, why did the three families repent after they got engaged? We found these three families, not by them. It was impossible that they colluded and deliberately bullied us. As I said before, from the process of discussing the marriage, they were sincere and did not intentionally set up traps to bully us. Judging from the situation of remorse, they seemed to have something unspeakable."
"You mean, someone deliberately went against us behind?" Zuo Gui's father said in a deep voice.
"There is no evidence at present, so it's hard to make such a judgment."
"Then how can you say slander?" Zuo Shaoyang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "We must figure out what the problem is, so don't rush to tear the face, and talk to them first. Anyway, we have the killer weapon of marriage letters in our hands, and we use lawsuits to force them to tell us the real reason for remorse.
Then decide how to deal with it. If it really doesn't work, I have to sue it again. This is considered to be the end of kindness and righteousness. They can't speak."
"Yeah!" Zuo Gui's father stroked his beard and nodded, "Would you like to say hello first with Brother Qiaoer?"
"Yes!" Zuo Shaoyang affirmed, "Prepare for the future and prepare for a lawsuit. You can also find Mr. Qu. He is the guarantor and has the responsibility to ensure the marriage is completed smoothly. Moreover, he is a sixth-rank official, so there is a way. And we must deliberately let the other party know that we are looking for someone and let them know that we are not uninhabited in the court, so that we can achieve a deterrent effect!"
Qiao Qiaoer said again: "Zhen Yao and I are my boyfriends. Otherwise, I will ask Zhen Yao and tell his uncle and great-grandfather to see if he can help. As long as his uncle and great-grandfather agree to help, there is nothing that cannot be done."
"Who is Zhen Yao?" said Zuo Gui's father.
"Zhen Yao is the great-granddaughter of the old miracle doctor Zhen Quan, the famous old shopkeeper of the Zhen clinic in our capital." Zuo Guixi said: "Oh? Then who is her uncle and great-grandfather?"
"The old miracle doctor Zhen Liyan, the chief minister of Taichang Temple." The father of the left concubine took a breath. He naturally knew Zhen Liyan's name and said happily: "Will they be willing to help?"
"Let's try it out. The elder doctor Zhen Liyan's brother, the old shopkeeper of Zhen's clinic, was the old doctor Zhen Quan. He was the same minister of the Sui Dynasty and my great-grandfather back then, and the relationship between the two families was pretty good. Besides, the old doctor Zhen Liyan liked Zhen Yao's nephew and great-granddaughter very much. Zhen Yao was my boyfriend, and I asked her to help me tell his great-uncle that she would definitely help me." Zuo Gui's father didn't know the situation of the Zhen family, but Zuo Shaoyang hit a nail twice, and he still had to do so.
He had a fight with Zhen Quan's eldest son Zhen Xuan. Now he heard that the Zhen family was overwhelmed and didn't want to pull them in. He couldn't help but get angry. He didn't know that he was angry at the Zhen clinic a few days ago. He said, "Father, don't make too much trouble for this matter first. It's known that the other party has no way out, so he can only bite the bullet and fight against us. It's not good. It's better to negotiate privately first. Finally, he has to go through these relationships.
