When Mengying Lin came to Government office with his wife, it was half an hour later.
Becausen it was a new year's day, there were few people in the government office, especially not the people want to come to have a look when happened.
When several people entered the government office, they saw a government office servant yawning. The man looked at the man who came in weakly, snorted coldly and shouted, "You are the family of Mrs. Li? Why you come so slowly? Do you want me to have a rest in this day? "
Mrs. Li wiped a tear, hurriedly walked over, took out a purse from her bosom and put it into the government office servant's hand, "Elder brother, how is my husband now, can we see him first?"
"Of course you can! You don't just need to see him, you need to take his body back, or do you think why I'm waiting for you here? There were no people in the morgue for the Spring Festival. If you don't take it back, why should you let the corpse accompany us for the Spring Festival? "The Government office servant took the money bag, but what he said was still bad.
"The corpse" When Mrs. Li heard this, she fainted in the dark.
Mengying Lin hurriedly held Mrs. Li. Mrs. Liu desperately pressed in the philtrum area of Mrs. Li. For a while, Mrs. Li turned to wake up quietly.
"Lao Li, Lao Li, why did you leave the world like this? How can we live with our orphans and widows?" Mrs. Li had lost her sense of propriety. She could only cry on the ground. She didn't think she would to go back to the body to find out the reason.
Mengying Lin sighed and asked Mrs. Liu to hold Mrs. Li. She went to the government office servant and said, "What's the matter? Today you don't tell us the truth. We dare not move the corpse back at will. We destroyed the evidence without any problems."
Maybe she was too calm to speak, and her appearance and temperament were outstanding. The Government office servant was also used to observing words and colors. His instinct was that she was not a good speaker at present. This was the reluctantly explanation: "The cabinet made by Mr. Li was not solid. When the doorplate fell, it hit the young master of Wu family. Of course, the Wu family would not let it go, so Mr. Li would pay for it. Mr. Li as the carpenter he couldn't afford to pay, of course, he was beaten. When his son saw that he was beaten, he fought with the people of the Wu family. In a panic, the carpenter was killed. The young master of the Wu family was also injured, and a servant was knocked unconscious. So the Wu family would now Sue the carpenter Mr. Li and his eldest son, that's all. The carpenter of Mr. Li did not pay for the injury, and the responsibility for being killed was not in the Wu family. "
This government office servant's words seemed to be righteous. Maybe in his opinion, that was the reason. Mr. Li's family didn't even had a chance to distinguish.
However, as a modern man, Mengying Lin was educated in higher knowledge. She didn't think that she was illiterate. No matter what social period she put it in, it was impossible to kill people.
Government office servant's words, which just could bluff Mrs. Li this kind of uneducated village woman, but why he want to fool her?
Mengying Lin snorted coldly, and her eyes fell on the government office servant's face like a knife. She asked, "You say Mr. Li has hurt people and will not pay compensation, and you take the eldest son of Mrs. Li's family. Is this case pronounced in court?"
The government office servant was stunned by the question. He stood up at random and shouted: "This is a new year's day. How can my boss have time to hear this case? Do you think everyone is as idle as you ignorant women? In this case, the first mistake is made by Mr. Li. Of course, the latter consequences are also borne by Mr. Li. What else is here to try? "
The government office servant did not dare to answer her question positively, which has already made her mind worry. In the government office servant's mouth, the matter of human life was so understated. Was human life really treated like dirt!
Mengying Lin suddenly felt nauseous. Her throat rolled and she pressed down the nauseous feeling. Then she said in a cold voice. "You as a government office servant, dare to announce the result of a case without going through the inquisition. How dare you to that? Who gave you the guts? I'd like to ask if it was in line with the rules to handle cases without permission as a government office servant. Oh, by the way, I'd like to ask what kind of punishment should government office servant be punished if it was s not in line with the rules? "
Government office servants couldn't think of a woman who could think of this level. After all, they had done a lot of things to fool their families like this, but they hadn't been exposed. Hadn't they made it clear that the Mr. Li's family was a new carpenter in Fengqi city. They didn't know anyone, the whole family had no culture, and they didn't know any rules and laws? Why did such a woman suddenly come?
"Who are you from Mrs. Li's family? Mrs. Li didn't speak. What's your point?" Government office servant's mind was weak and his vest was sweaty, but he still pretended to be brave.
"I'm the cousin of Mrs. Li. This was my family. What was the matter? I couldn't ask about it yet?"Mengying Lin knew that there was something wrong with the government office servant, so she pursued him and asked: "To tell you the truth, we won't do this. We haven't heard that people can get rid of the relationship after killing people. If you don't want to get into trouble, tell me the truth, or... Let's go to ask the mayor of the capital and complain! "
Mengying Lin understood the matter of being cheated, but she didn't cut it to use. However, in the face of this kind of repression, Mengying Lin felt that she had to deal with it in this way of threat. All of them said that the villain had his own mill. Only when you were worse than him, could he be afraid of you and let you get what you want.
As soon as the Government office servant listened to her voice, he lost most of his momentum immediately. Let alone go to find the mayor of the capital. Anyone who knew the law knew that there was a problem in the government office. He was just a small government office servant, so he really didn't need to cause trouble for it.
The Government office servant hesitated for a moment, looked at Mengying Lin, and looked at Mrs. Li on the ground. "Oh, I didn't say that. I dare not say that as a government office servant, but ah, I advise you not to make trouble. I'll tell superior leader later, let the leader of the Li family out. It's OK. You can bear the loss. Wu family, you can't afford it. Don't build it at that time or you will loss a family! "
The government office servant was sincere when he said this, but when Mengying Lin heard with her ear, it made her face sink more and more, people died, and asked other people endured it. What's the reason?
"If we can't bear it, you are a government office servant, and you can't be the master. I'm going to play drums and sound grievances. I want to see your boss!" Mengying Lin said she was going to the gate.
The Government office servant was scared to her sleeve immediately. "I said you don't make noise. This is not what our boss has the final say. "In fact, we can't help it. Our boss is just a small official in the Government office. In Fengxi City, what can a small official in the Government office do? A sign can kill ten or eight people when it fell down. It's useless for you to look for our boss. When it comes time to alerted the officials above, we will be all over. "
"Go away!" Mengying Lin looked down upon this government office servant, so she said without politely, "You can't be the master of the people, but also confuse black and white. Such an official is also called an official? You let go, I'm going to play the drum! "
"Oh! Why don't you know what's wrong with you? I advise you to do so for your own good. If you still don't listen to me after I have said so much, and you still have to sue, what's really going on in the future? Don't blame me for not reminding you. "The government office servant said that Mengying Lin didn't mean to compromise at all. Her face was even darker, but she was not afraid.
Was he not afraid? Mengying Lin frowned and couldn't help thinking about what made the government office servant feel confident. Originally want to hit the drum, her pace unconsciously slowed down.
She knew that sometimes, she could not be too reckless.
It was a pity that when she spoke to government office servant, Mrs. Li listened to their conversation. Mrs. Li's reflected that Mr. Li's death might be a mystery. When she heard that, she could find adults to complain. Where could she stop? She pushed Mrs. Liu aside and stood up. She rushed to the door in a few steps.
It was too late for Mengying Lin to stop.
The drum rang out of the door, in the clean street out far away.
A lot of people at lunch heard the noise and could not help complaining a few words, "Which family's people have no time to complain, this New Year's Eve, the adults are busy eating, that's no one who will come to answer the complaint when he has time to meet the sue of people?"
"Yeah, and the voice came from the East Street. What kind of adult is the small Government office in the East Street? It's said that the official paid for it, and the informant is too confused."
"Sorry, I also heard that the official quality of that adult is especially poor. If he has someone on the top that he won't wear his hat for a long time, he could be an official all the time, but someone on the top of the family. This New Year's day has disturbed the purity of the adult. I think the informant has to be beaten to death before she delivers it. "
What a pity that Mrs. Li, who has just arrived in Fengqi City, didn't know about these things, nor did Mengying Lin, who didn't know about them here.
Now that she has drummed, she has no way back. Mengying Lin sighed, whether it was a blessing or a curse. She helped Mr. Liu to help Mrs. Li into the Government office.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, an official with a slightly askew hat came with several government office servants who were mentally depressed and ugly. Government office servants shouted "majestic" feebly, but their eyes glared angrily at Mrs. Li's wife.
Mrs. Li was about to cry out for injustice, but the adult suddenly knocked on the table and shouted to the Government office servant who started to receive several people: "Xu San, you are a waste, you can't do such a thing well, and let this bitch play the drum of calling out for injustice!"
Before the trial of the case started, the adult had already named Mrs. Li a bitch. Mengying Lin's heart was thumping. She thought it might be worse today.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the adult didn't look at the woman, and directly told the other two government office servants, "What are you waiting to do? Drag down and play the twenty boards first, and then the New Year's one will play the song drum. What's your grievance? How dare you call those who hurt you first for Wu family? The Wu family didn't call it injustice! "
She had seen the black-and-white confusion, but she hadn't seen such a shameless one. Mengying Lin was also experienced. Seeing two government office servants came to pull Mrs. Li, Mengying Lin sighed, or stood out. "Official, let's not say whether Mr. Li carpenter has hurt people. Is it too arbitrary for you to say that the Wu family is not guilty before you find out the fact that Mr. Li carpenter has been killed? You are not willing to accept the trial! "
"Not satisfied?" The official smiled. "I don't care if you accept it or not? Do you know who is behind the Wu family? Wu family's great daughter last year was won the talent show into the palace and then she became the palace's maiden, who are you? Do you dare not accept it? Come on, I'm going home for the holidays. I can't care where you like to go. "
Two government office servants led the Mrs. Li to the back of the hall, and soon heard Mrs. Li's painful roar.
After that, the official yawned and left. He totally ignored these people who were still in the Government office. They came and left in a hurry. They had nothing to fear.
Mengying Lin didn't expect to see such a strange thing here. It was too arrogant to exaggerate. How could there be such a thing under the emperor's control?
After the party left, the first government office servant came over again. "I told you not to make trouble before. You would not listen. Now the carpenter of Mr. Li was killed. If you make trouble again, you will die."
Mengying Lin thought that such a threat was ridiculous. However, if it was ordinary people, there was no background. When the upper body and rear force had touched the figures in the Imperial Palace, what were they? It was really easy to take their lives.
That officials and government office servants had inquired about the details of Mrs. Li's family, so they were so confident. In their eyes, Mrs. Li's family was treated like dirt! They knew how to advance and retreat and they could save their family's life. If they didn't obey, who will say the last word for them?
This was the reality, was not you think of injustice, think of resistance could resist? It was really not easy to live in such an environment.
When Mrs. Li was beaten to death, she was thrown out, and she had fainted in a daze. Mr. Liu's legs were soft when the official talked about the power behind the Wu family. He didn't dare to stay here at all. He left with a lame excuse.
Mengying Lin helped Mrs. Li. She was very sad, but she couldn't help it. She didn't have the peerless martial arts of flying on the eaves and walking on the wall, or the talent of helping the world. Now, she was still a weak woman. Let alone that official, she couldn't even manage to be a government office servant.
Mrs. Li knew nothing but crying. The Government office servant entered the inner court, and soon came out with a man. The man was covered in blood. When she saw Mrs. Li crying, she knelt down and only whispered "mother, mother, mother..."
Mrs. Li just woke up a little, holding the man and crying.
The mother and son were crying in front of the Government office. Behind them was the Government office style gate. There were plaques such as "bright mirror hanging high" on the gate. In the sun, the big gilded characters were ridiculous.
Mengying Lin sighed. When the government office runner threw out a corpse, she came to the man who was covered with blood. She patted him on the shoulder. "If you're still a man, go and pick up your father's corpse now. Let's go back and find a way to cry here. Even if you cry blind, it's useful."
She didn't have compassion to say some great truth. At this time, she was not interested in showing how just she was. In her opinion, she was a luxury. She was not the Savior. Where there was awareness of justice, what she could do was just what she could do.
Her words had already been said. If this person didn't listen to them, maybe she didn't need to continue to take care of this matter.
Fortunately, the man raised his head and was stunned. Then he turned around to carry the body of the carpenter Mr. Li.
Mengying Lin's tense mood was relieved at last. Mrs. Li couldn't come up with an idea now. If the child didn't take on any more responsibilities, the family would be really over.
When they returned to Mr. Li's house, Xiao Liu and her two children were staring anxiously. Tiger saw Mrs. Li who came back several people, immediately burst into tears, Mrs. Li heard and hug tiger to cry again.
The leader of the Li family would cry when he saw it. Mengying Lin frowned and shouted "You can't cry. Now you are the head of the family! Now, what you have to do is to appease your mother and find a way to avenge your father. A big man, crying is useless. "
The leader of the Li family had never seen Mengying Lin. Maybe he has experienced such a big thing. Instead, he was silent. He pushed the tears back. "Girl..."
"Needless to say, thank you for nothing. Let's think about what happened. "Mengying Lin sighed. Just now, she had already thought about it. If she couldn't help it, she would go to Liancheng Mo for help. As long as Liancheng Mo was willing to help, there should be nothing he couldn't solve in Nanyue State.
However, she knew that with Liancheng Mo's nature, she would never easily help anyone who had no interest in him. She could ask for him, but she would also pay the corresponding price. Last time, in order to save Yisheng, she became his warm bed girl. This time, she went to ask him, what else should she pay? She didn't dare or want to think about it.
"The Wu family hired a carpenter to work a few months ago, and my father and I went there. My father is an honest man. He works well and the price is low. So after doing this, the Wu family will come to us to repair any broken furniture. This morning, someone from the Wu family said that if there was a cabinet broken, they would ask dad to go. I wanted to help dad to do it together, so that I could finish it earlier and go home earlier. Who knows what happened... "
"Say the point." Mengying Lin frowned.
"OK, good." After sorting out his emotions, Li said: "My father and I were called to two wing rooms in the backyard, both of which had broken furniture. My father went into one room, and I went into the other. After a while, I heard a quarrel on my father's side. When I passed by, I saw people from Wu family beating my father. I was angry but I fought with them. There were many of them. My father and I were not their match. Our opponents, so..."
The eldest brother of Li's family thought of that scene and some emotions collapsed, but Mengying Lin did not change her face, calmly asked: "When you went in, did you see anything special?"
Even if carpenter Mr. Li hurt people, the Wu family had no reason to fight people to death. It was not normal to fight people to death.
The leader of the Li family thought about it carefully and shook his head. "There was nothing special. The cabinet is made of red sandalwood, which is very expensive. There are some messy things in it..."
"Red sandalwood cabinet used for sundries?" Mengying Lin felt what she had found and asked, "What kind of stuff is it?"
The eldest brother of Li's family was stunned and thought carefully. His face immediately changed. He was seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he was not married, the boys knew all the things they should know. Now, reminded by Mengying Lin, he immediately remembered that there seemed to be something in the cabinet that could be used. It was a bit like a man... Men's...
The eldest brother of the Li family blushed for a while and couldn't speak for a long time.
Mengying Lin frowned. Seeing that he couldn't say it, she asked directly, "Was it an interesting thing? Em... It's the one between men and women... "
"No, it's not between men and women. It's like it's between men and men." When he said this, the leader of the Li family lowered his head completely.
Mengying Lin managed to understand the whole story. Now it seemed that it was Mr. Li who saw the scandal of Wu family's son and was killed by that.
With money and power, killing people seemed too insignificant in their eyes.
Mengying Lin snorted, "Now that we have found the reason, we can find a way. It seems that the prince of Wu family is a broken sleeve. As long as he has weakness, we will have a chance. "
"Then what shall we do?" If he didn't know Mengying Lin at the beginning, after a dialogue, he had admired Mengying Lin in his heart.
"Look for evidence! Then give the enemy a deadly blow! "Mengying Lin took a look at Mrs. Li, who was still crying."Now, please calm down your mother and do the things behind your father. Then, pretend to compromise, don't show any resistance, let the enemy relax their vigilance, and then you can secretly follow Wu's son."
The leader of the Li family nodded his head and admired Mengying Lin more and more.
With a plan, Mengying Lin felt that she should leave room for Mrs. Li's family to lick her wounds. She handed over Xiao Liu and Yisheng to go back to her yard.
Along the way, Xiao Liu and Yisheng were in a heavy mood, especially Xiao Liu, who couldn't help crying. "Mrs. Li' is so pitiful. Nowadays, the life of the poor is really not life. I used to have a brother, because the family was poor, and his brother was bought to be a servant of a rich family. He was killed when he was alive two months later because he made a mistake. He signed a deed of sale, and his life was all other families. Yes, I was killed. We can't even avenge it. "
After hearing this, Mengying Lin didn't give an opinion, but she couldn't help sighing again. On this day, she seemed to sigh more than a year. This was helplessness. For this social system, human life could be bought and sold as goods and measured by money.
But what could she do? At least for now, she couldn't do anything.
"Excuse me. Is this the residence of Childe Wu Chen?" Just as they got to the door, they saw a middle-aged man guarding the door. When they saw them, their attitude was respectful and flattering.
Mengying Lin smiled lightly. After Wuchen Yue's challenge to Tianji Pavilion, the first person was finally found. This was very good. At least, she could step by step to a position where people couldn't bully at will by her own influence.
