Jiang Weinan also wanted to join in the fun, so he gave Xiaoxiao to the wet nurse and followed Xie Jiaojiao and the others to the yamen.
Inside the government office, Li Lihua's parents were kneeling there, at a loss as to what to do.
As soon as Niu Er entered with Niu Erbao in his arms, he knelt down.
Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan stood aside, and the county magistrate hurriedly shouted to the lawyer, "Give Master Jiang and his wife a seat."
This is absolutely no problem. After all, he is a seventh-rank county magistrate, and Xie Jiaojiao's title is first-rank, so I don't know how many levels higher she is than him.
Seeing the people sitting down, the county magistrate slammed the table and said, "You bold Li Dahe and He Hua, do you know your mistakes?"
The two were confused and terrified: "My Lord, I don't know where I went wrong."
Magistrate Liu slammed the table again, and the two men immediately leaned forward again, almost kissing each other on the ground.
"You are shameless. You have been extorting money from your married daughter, causing discord between her and her husband's family, and even poisoning her husband to death. Don't you know where you went wrong?"
Another slap on the table.
"mighty....."
There was fear on the two men's faces.
He Hua was the first to react: "Sir, no, we didn't rob our daughter of her money. She was filial and insisted on giving it to us."
Li Dahe agreed: "Yes, sir, we don't have it. Our daughter forced it on us."
Niu Er knelt beside them and bowed: "Sir, they are liars. They always take the initiative to ask for money. Since my father married Li Lihua, all the money in the family has been entrusted to Li Lihua for safekeeping. But throughout the year, the family has not saved much money. Life is also tight."
Although Niu Erbao is young, he knows that he must stand on the same line with his brother.
"I can testify that every time Dad came back, he would give Mom money, but Mom would always give it to Grandpa and Grandma. The last time, Grandpa and Grandma sent someone to bring a letter to Mom saying that Grandpa was sick. Mom went back and was beaten by Dad as soon as she came back."
Everything he said was true.
Xie Jiaojiao said at this time: "County Magistrate Liu, we also inquired about this matter later. Li Dahe was not sick. He just called Li Lihua back to ask her for money. Also, Li Lihua's husband is the only carpenter in our village. He has a craft. There are only him, Li Lihua and their children at home, but he lives in the most dilapidated house in our village."
These words undoubtedly told Magistrate Liu that Niu Fusheng had skills and could make money. There were only three people in his family, including himself, but he lived in the most dilapidated house in the village. There was something wrong.
County Magistrate Liu glanced at the legal advisor, who immediately sent someone to investigate.
He Hua and Li Dahe looked at Niu Erbao and said, "Erbao, we are your grandparents. Niu Er is no longer related to you. We are your relatives. You can't be disloyal."
"You are the ones who are traitors!" Niu Er said angrily while protecting Niu Erbao.
"You drank my father's blood. My father died, but you didn't even come to see him. How dare you call him a relative? I think you are the ungrateful ones!"
"You..." Li Dahe and his wife looked at Niu Er, their eyes almost spitting fire, but they were speechless because of the retort.
County Magistrate Liu slammed the table and asked Li Dahe and his wife, "Did you lie about being sick and ask someone to send Li Lihua home?"
Li Dahe stammered and couldn't say anything, so that meant it was true.
"When Li Lihua returned home, did you ask her for money?" County Magistrate Liu continued to ask.
He Hua quickly said: "No, no, we didn't ask her for it, she...she wanted to give it to us herself." As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller.
At this time Niu Erbao spoke again.
"No, my grandparents often ask my mother for money. There was a flood in the village a while ago, and my father took me to my grandfather's house to find my mother. My father wanted to ask my mother for money to repair the house, but my mother couldn't give it out, saying that all the money had been taken by my grandparents. My father asked them to pay back the money, but they couldn't give it out and kicked us out."
Absolutely abominable!
Li Dahe said quickly, "Sir, he is just a little kid, his words can't be taken seriously. Erbao, we didn't ask your mother for money at the beginning, your mother took it out herself."
Niu Erbao pouted and burst into tears: "It's you! Mom was beaten by Dad at that time, and you heard it but didn't come to stop it, because you were afraid that Dad would ask you for money!"
Niu Er quickly held him in his arms and comforted him softly, "It's okay, it's okay."
Xie Jiaojiao spoke again: "County Magistrate Liu, children's words are not to be taken seriously. If we can't take children's words seriously, then how can we trust adults' words?"
Magistrate Liu nodded. At this time, someone came up behind the lawyer and whispered something in his ear. The lawyer stood up, walked to Magistrate Liu, and whispered everything he had learned.
County Magistrate Liu nodded repeatedly. As soon as the master finished speaking, he slammed the table and said, "How dare you, Li Tianhe and He Hua, you still dare to quibble! Come, call the witness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman came in. She was wearing coarse linen clothes and her hair was wrapped with a handkerchief.
The lawyer said, "Sir, this is a woman who works as a laundryman for a wealthy family in the city. She is from the same village as Li Dahe and his men."
The woman knelt down in front of County Magistrate Liu and said, "I, Li Xiaocui, greet you, Your Excellency."
"Are you from the same village as them?"
Li Xiaocui glanced at Li Dahe and He Hua and nodded slightly: "Yes, sir."
Li Dahe and He Hua became scared because Li Xiaocui's parents and their family were not on good terms in the village.
"Then tell me, do you have any evidence?"
Li Xiaocui: "Uncle Li and Aunt He Hua's family used to live a decent life in our village, and they lived in a thatched house. But one day, Uncle Li said in the village that there was a skilled craftsman who took a fancy to their daughter, Li Lihua, and said that good days were coming for their family. Not long after, Li Lihua got married. After Li Lihua got married, their family lived better and better, and finally built a blue brick and tile house. He showed off in the village, saying that he had a good daughter, and he asked her to take the money from her husband's family home, and she took it home... He also said that his son-in-law didn't dare to say anything, and that because their family had a good daughter, they had to eat meat every few days. Everyone in the village knew these words and these things."
"Li Xiaocui, I'm going to fight you!" He Hua was about to rush over with Li Xiaocui.
County Magistrate Liu slammed the table, and she immediately stopped doing anything rash.
"Li Dahe, do you have anything else to say?"
The two of them didn't dare to speak.
"You sucked the blood of your son-in-law, and the daughter you taught murdered her own husband. If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. Do you think you can escape responsibility?"
At this time, Li Dahe suddenly spoke up: "Sir, we have raised our daughter to this age, what's wrong with us letting her take some money? Can a married daughter no longer be filial to her parents?"
