Chapter 174 Haikang County First Litigation Lawyer

Ma Defu first glared at his nephew Ma Laifu angrily, and then said angrily:

"Speaking of which, I blame my nephew who is not up to date. Over the years, my brother-in-law has made the fishing industry flourish in Haikang County, which has made many people envious. If I can manage my three-acre land with peace of mind, it will be fine. No one dared to find fault with him, but he just listened to my nephew's bewitching words, and went to compete with the big family in the county for an official offer to go fishing in the sea. It's really sad that the ions are scattered."

"Uncle, you are pedantic and short-sighted."

Ma Laifu was very angry when he heard this, and argued dissatisfiedly: "If my uncle doesn't fight, sooner or later the tens of acres of fish ponds in Lanjiang villages will be taken over by the Kang family. Fifty official ships are much more secure than a few small boats entering the sea, and maybe they can pull up a caravan to go to sea to do other business."

"Your grandma is a bear, she dares to talk back."

Hearing his nephew's brash words, Ma Defu was so angry that the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he chased him with a thick stick on the ground. Ma Laifu ran away in fright, and shouted as he ran, "Uncle, you are pedantic, uncle!" You're an idiot, and neither of you can do much."

"You are a rebellious thing."

Ma Defu watched his nephew run away with fists and palms, angry and annoyed, but seeing that there were guests, he had no choice but to restrain his anger, and said in a moderate tone:

"Let the two of you see a joke. His father was hunted in the mountains in the early years and was attacked by jackals. He didn't even find the bones. The younger brother and sister are weak-tempered and can't control him. They cause trouble everywhere all day long. I didn't take him for granted. A little trick."

"Senior, don't be angry."

Chu Nanzhi recalled what Ma Laifu said just now, and then thought about the matter of the Qi family that he was facing, and quite agreed:

"I think that nephew Ling is a passionate and promising person. Business is supposed to be a fair competition. Since official quotations are issued by the imperial court to support business, anyone who is capable can go for it. This makes nephew Brother-in-law Ling is right, it's nothing more than another family's trick."

"Although it is reasonable, my nephew is acting too recklessly."

Ma Defu sighed repeatedly: "My brother-in-law was imprisoned unjustly, and he has already caused a big disaster, but this villain actually tricked his cousin and nephew to beat the young man of the county captain's mansion, so that his whereabouts are still unknown. My sister-in-law He and his cousin and niece had no choice but to hide in the deep mountains and old forests in panic."

Chu Nanzhi listened and nodded in thought.

After a long time, she suddenly asked: "Why did you beat up Mr. Xiao Lang of the county captain's mansion? Could it be that this trickster is related to the county captain's mansion?"

"Hey, this involves another matter."

Ma Defu's face was cloudy and uncertain for a while, but the next words were a bit difficult to say.

He stared at his wife, Ma Liushi, first, and said in a soft voice: "Go and cut five catties of high-quality beef with your siblings and daughter-in-law, put the tripe in cold water and give it to Mrs. Chu for safekeeping, and cook more delicious dishes." , today I want to entertain two distinguished guests."

Waiting for his wife's daughter-in-law to go to the kitchen, Ma Defu turned to Chu Nanzhi and Li Ce again, and said warmly: "Ms. Chu and Li Langjun, please talk in the hall."

Into the main room, after each seated, Ma Defu asked the eldest son Ma Zhifu to bring some tea in, Ma Defu continued to say while drinking tea:

"Just now when Mrs. Chu first entered the house, the old and the young met were the old aunt Sun Liushi and the cousin Yan Fang. My youngest son is bound to be married, but I don’t know that the young gentleman of Wei’s Mansion in Haikang County has repeatedly bullied others, and he is determined to take Yan Fang into the mansion as a concubine. Although my nephew is a mess, he is a no-brainer. After this happened, he instigated Yan Fang's elder brother Yan Ming to beat the county captain's son together."

Li Ce was furious when he heard this, and clenched his fists angrily: "This kind of bullying guy should be beaten, not to mention bullying men and women, and robbing other people's unmarried wives. If it were me, I would directly He slashed that guy with a knife."

Ma Defu smiled wryly: "Mr. Li Lang is very grateful for his urgency and kindness, but Haikang County is not like Luyan Port. People in the yamen cannot be provoked from top to bottom."

"Senior, why not tell me about your brother-in-law."

Chu Nanzhi reminded that there are too many such bullying things in the world, even if she has sympathy, she can't handle it.

Mr. Xiaolang of the county captain's mansion dared to be so rampant. In the final analysis, it was because the Sun family lost its backbone. Lin Jinxiao just broke his leg, and the Chen family dared to embarrass his family over and over again, not to mention the kind of poverty land.

As long as the Patriarch of the Sun family can be rescued, everything may be solved.

After hearing Chu Nanzhi's words, Ma Defu also changed the topic back: "This matter has to start from the middle of last month. Although my brother-in-law Sun Wuji is a fisherman who makes a living by fishing, he also has He has a kind of chivalrous heart, and it is for this reason that he is widely supported by fishermen in various villages. It just so happened that a young county magistrate came to Haikang County last year. The officer who went to sea led the competition to my brother-in-law and his fishermen."

At this point, he couldn't help frowning deeply: "Seeing that good things are about to come true, but when the county magistrate inspected the qualifications of the fishermen under his brother-in-law, accidents happened. On the morning of June 25th last month , The county magistrate disappeared mysteriously. After searching for many days, the body of the magistrate magistrate was salvaged from a fish pond by my brother-in-law's Lan River, so the county government decided that my brother-in-law murdered the magistrate. "

"In this way, it is not for my own selfishness to make my brother-in-law compete for an official position, but for the benefit of the fishermen under him."

Chu Nanzhi was still thinking about it, Li Ce was the first to say with emotion.

Ma Defu sighed with a look of desolation: "He is such a stubborn person, he loves to stand up for everyone in everything, and the money that fell into his own pocket these years is not a few taels, but he has supported many fishermen under his hands. I just can't stand his temper, and would rather lead this family to hunt in the mountains for a living than share his stink, and now that he's involved in a life lawsuit, no one cares about his life."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a woman's cry sounded outside the house:

"Brother-in-law, how can you say that about my family and the villagers? If it wasn't for the help of the neighbors to cover up this time, the slave family, Yan Fang and Yan Ming would have been taken away by the people of the county Wei's mansion. How could they be safe and sound? I fled to the mountains, and someone told me before I came out that Yan Ming was hidden and his life was not in danger."

Sun Liu went straight to the main room crying, and continued to cry while wiping away tears: "The neighbors still have a conscience, and they are doing their best to help the child and her father get rid of the grievances."

Seeing Sun Liu's mother and daughter walking in, Chu Nanzhi first took a hard look, thinking about the train of thought he had summed up, looked at Ma Defu and said calmly:

"There are a lot of doubts about this case. Since the county magistrate of Haikang County has agreed to help obtain an official referral, it will make my brother-in-law not guilty of murdering another person. Unless there are other hidden reasons, otherwise, you can find a lawyer for litigation. Let's see."

Sun Liu choked with sobs and said, "Ms. Chu doesn't know something. Those litigators in our county can't argue better than the county master. The neighbors also chipped in money to hire a well-known litigator in the county for my family, but When I arrived at the county government office, I was rendered speechless by the chief clerk, and the child's father was condemned abruptly."

"That's true."

Ma Defu raised his eyebrows, but also looked helpless: "Tan Miao, the head of the county government of Haikang County, has the reputation of 'iron mouth and copper teeth', and he is the number one litigator in the county. It’s not necessarily true of him, let alone the evidence is solid.”

Chu Nanzhi is very aware of the importance of litigators in ancient cases. Sometimes she can decide the outcome of a case with her sharp mouth. All the cases she investigated for Hu Maoxi before were all based on clever words Eloquent arguments first make people surrender, and then go to fight for opportunities to find hard evidence to convince people.

It's just that not everyone can turn the tide with sharp rhetoric as she thinks, and there are also many unscrupulous litigators who only care about people's lives for their own self-interest.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help sighing silently.
