A small peasant girl who traveled through time and space picked up a war god prince
Chapter 130 County Office Trouble
The maid who followed ran over hurried forward and said, "I'm sorry, master, it was the old lady who was trying to commit suicide, and I couldn't stop her!"
The county magistrate waved his hand, asked the little maid to step aside, and then looked at his mother.
"Ms. Zhu Zhou, you have already disrupted the order of the court. If you leave now, I will not bother you. If you do this again, I will punish you according to the law." The old lady heard her youngest son speak to her like this, "You, you rebellious son," and rolled her eyes in anger.
Zhu Zhou looked at her youngest son, then at her eldest grandson. "You, you, you unfilial son! I gave birth to you, raised you with all my heart and soul. And this is how you treat your mother. If I had known you were such an unfilial son, I should have strangled you to death or drowned you in a bucket of urine when you were born. You little bastard, just like your damn father, are as unworldly, unkind, and heartless as ever."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zhu shouted, "That's enough! You keep saying my father died young. Don't you know why he died young? You eat rice and meat for every meal, and you often help your brothers. Yet you still think my father treats you badly."
Ask yourself, is it really that bad? You are eating, wearing, and using the best of everything. All the money Daddy earned from hunting is given to you.
Well, so many years have passed. I'm not going to argue with Zhiping about the things between you and your husband. My father has been gone for so many years. You gave birth to me and raised me. As long as you don't break the law, I will be filial to you.
Come, take the old lady away.
The old woman struggled, trying not to be dragged away by the yamen runners, shouting, "You unfilial son, you can't do this to me. You unfilial son, you can't do this to me. How can you be so heartless that you don't even spare your own nephew? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? Oh, God, you are so blind! You, such a rebellious and unfilial man, could treat your mother like this."
Everyone was filled with regret when they heard this. This county magistrate was truly aggrieved. He actually had such a mother who couldn't tell right from wrong. It wasn't easy for him to be a county magistrate for so many years. When the yamen runners took County Magistrate Zhu's mother away.
The gavel clattered with a mighty bang. The magistrate continued to hear the case. After sending the old lady away, the case went smoothly, because his nephew was a bully who bullied men and women and dominated the market.
There are also overdue payments from visiting brothels and drinking in restaurants. The outstanding payments are easy to resolve, just pay them back.
He was sentenced to five years in prison for bullying men and women, and for bullying the market. He was also ordered to return all shops. He had abducted a girl from a fellow villager, but her reputation was damaged. Therefore, Zhu Zihua had to compensate the victim with one hundred taels of silver. The case was closed at this point.
Wait, Long Linxiao called to the county magistrate.
County Magistrate Zhu looked up in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"
Long Yi took out the token and handed it to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate reached out to take the token, looked down, looked up in shock, and said, "Submit, submit, your humble official," and hurriedly stepped forward to bow.
But Long Linxiao stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, County Magistrate Zhu."
County Magistrate Zhu saw that Prince Xiao did not want to be exposed, so he brought a group of people to the back hall of the county government office.
The county magistrate ordered his men to bring his wife and children to pay their respects to these rare dignitaries.
Your humble servant Zhu Hongyu pays homage to Prince Xiao, the princess, the prince consort, the county lady, and wishes the prince a thousand years of life.
Long Linxiao sat in the main seat. "County Magistrate Zhu, considering your meritorious service in governing this area, but your inability to manage your family affairs and your nephew's reckless behavior, I will fine you six months' salary. I hope you will take care of yourself and don't let this happen again."
County Magistrate Zhu was so scared that sweat broke out on his forehead. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and said, "I will definitely work hard to prevent these things from happening again."
When Prince Xiao and his men stood up and prepared to leave, Long Linxiao turned back to Zhu Hongyu and said, "Oh, by the way, County Magistrate Zhu, I see that your mother is very respectful of etiquette. From now on, let her pray in the Buddhist temple! Don't let her come out and harm others again."
I don't want to say more about your family affairs, nor do I want to criticize you too much, but you should know the situation.
If a local official cannot even handle his own family affairs, how can he care about the lives of the people?
County Magistrate Zhu nodded repeatedly, saying, "I understand. I will never let this happen again."
Since you are an honest official, there is no need for me to remind you again!
Your older brother is not your biological brother, you can ask your mother. I think you will not be so timid and hesitant when handling cases in the future.
Well, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first. I hope that next time I come, I’ll hear that you are not only an honest, upright and incorruptible official.
"Your humble servant respectfully bids farewell to the prince," said Magistrate Zhu, standing up and wiping the sweat from his forehead. He thought, this time his wife and children won't have to suffer any more hardships.
County Magistrate Zhu held his wife and children's hands and said, "Don't worry! With the prince's order, I won't be suppressed by the examination anymore. Mother will never dare to come out again and embarrass you and your children."
I'll send someone to clean up the Buddhist temple. As long as she's not hungry or cold, I'll let her spend the rest of her life in the temple!
When the county magistrate's wife heard what he said, she suddenly burst into tears.
When someone has been oppressed for so long, and the pressure is released, doesn't that mean they cry? Seeing their mother weep so bitterly, the three children also silently wiped away their tears. They were sensible, knowing that their grandmother had looked down on them for as long as they could remember, and they were happy to be relieved.
County Magistrate Zhu looked at his eldest son, now ten, but with the body of an eight-year-old. His youngest son and daughter, seven and five, were wearing the same clothes from last year, though without patches. Who would believe they were the magistrate's children? His daughter-in-law had a dowry shop, yet she was still crushed by the burden of filial piety...
County Magistrate Zhu was filled with emotion. The hard times were finally over, and I finally didn't have to embarrass myself and my children anymore. With the prince's order, I wasn't afraid of using filial piety to pressure the family anymore.
Magistrate Zhu knew, without the prince telling him, that his eldest brother wasn't his father's biological son, but his mother's childhood sweetheart. But this was a family scandal that shouldn't be aired publicly, right? His father had passed away early, so he'd been keeping it to himself. Now that even the prince knew, he knew there was nothing left to hide...
From then on, the county magistrate devoted himself to serving the people. He and his wife were in love, and their children became successful. But that's all for later...
The princess, her husband Long Linxiao, Siyu and the others boarded the carriage and left Shuangfeng County, continuing on their journey.
Siyu was still unhappy in the carriage, Linglan came up to her and asked, "Sister Yu'er, why are you so unhappy here?" Princess Linglan walked into the carriage from outside and asked, "Why are you still unhappy?"
Why do you think there are such people? Siyu said, "They are not at fault, but they have to bear the consequences of others' mistakes."
