Chapter 209 The county government redresses grievances

Bai Ruozhu didn't expect to be kicked out as soon as she came to the door. Is Doctor Fu so skilled in medicine? There are still so many people visiting your home after retirement, causing your family members to take a lot of trouble?

"We didn't come to see Doctor Fu. It was a relative of mine who received Doctor Fu's treatment six or seven years ago. He asked us to come and see Doctor Fu when we came to town and say thank you to her." Bai Ruozhu apologized. Said with a smile on his face.

"The old man is not in good health and has rested. You can come back tomorrow." After saying that, the woman closed the door directly and refused to let the two of them in. Isn't this too direct?

The brother and sister looked at the closed door and looked at each other helplessly. It seemed that they could only wait until tomorrow.

But Bai Ruozhu decided that everything should go according to plan. Tomorrow she must go to the Yamen to beat the drum and complain. Otherwise, if the old man and the Wang family come to the door first, it will seem like they are resentful and revengeful if they go to the Yamen again.

After returning home, others were surprised to hear that Doctor Fu lived next door, but they were also helpless to hear that Doctor Fu did not see guests.

"Mom, tomorrow you can check with the neighbors and ask about Doctor Fu's situation." Bai Ruozhu said to Lin Ping'er.

"Okay, mommy will go for a walk tomorrow morning." Lin Ping'er nodded. Women are very familiar with chatting about family matters.

The family went to bed early because there was still a tough battle to be fought the next day.

Early the next morning, the family got up and ate in a hurry. Bai Ruozhu and Bai Zepei went to the county government office, saying they were beating drums to complain. But because Bai Zepei knew the county magistrate, there was no need to be so complicated. Bai Zepei handed over a post. It would be nice if the two of them met Mr. Li and explained the matter clearly.

But Bai Ruozhu was not sure about one thing. On the way, she asked her second brother: "Do you think we should tell Mr. Li the truth? Or should we sue Mrs. Niu for blackmail, frame the eldest uncle, and then wait for someone to arrest her and pull her out?" "

Bai Zepei didn't speak for a long time, and seemed to have thought carefully, "Needless to say, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and there are too many things in it that cannot be explained clearly at the moment."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, yes, most people say that nurturing kindness is better than giving kindness. I didn't know that Wang and the others abused their children. They also thought that after raising Si Lang for six years, they had some feelings for each other. On the contrary, they were the ones who destroyed the harmony of the family.

When the two of them arrived at the Yamen, Wang Minglu happened to be on duty. When he saw Bai Ruozhu, his eyes lit up. He came up to him and asked, "Brother Zehao, sister Ruozhu, why are you here?"

Bai Ruozhu was very fond of this honest and simple second brother of the Wang family, and gave him a sincere smile, "Brother Minglu, let's come to your lord to redress our grievances."

Wang Minglu was startled, "What's wrong? Didn't your old family bully you again?" He asked with anger on his face, but after asking, he found that he was reckless. It was a family matter, how could someone sue him? What about the court? Even if you really want to sue, you should go to the clan leader.

"No, someone extorted some money from us. You'll find out later when we go to court." Bai Ruozhu was afraid that she didn't have enough time, so she didn't want to talk to him more, so she said goodbye to him and turned around and entered the Yamen.

Wang Minglu thought that Bai Ruozhu could not trust him and felt that he could not be of much help, so he stood there feeling dejected. Bai Zepei turned to look at him and shook his head helplessly. His little sister was really too slow when it came to matters between men and women, but she was usually so smart. This ordinary man couldn't control her.

The two of them met Mr. Li after they communicated. Mr. Li was even more enthusiastic towards Bai Zepei at the moment. He asked with a smile: "Brother Bai Xian, why are you here so early? Don't you want to beat the drum and redress the grievances?"

"I really have a grievance to report, but I was not present when the incident happened yesterday, so I'd better let my sister report it to everyone." Bai Zepei said after bowing to Mr. Li.

Mr. Li frowned, "Who dares to bully a good brother? Miss Bai, tell me quickly."

Bai Ruozhu blessed Mr. Li and then spoke clearly and logically.

"Yesterday, my father was pushing a cart at the market and accidentally hit a woman. The woman said that the injury was serious, and my father was an honest man, so he promised to compensate her. But he didn't have much money at the time, so he agreed Send it to my mother-in-law's house. In the afternoon, we closed the stall early in the afternoon and went to Lin'an Village to find the old lady Niu. We said we wanted to see a doctor for her, but she refused."

Bai Ruozhu frowned as she spoke, "My family recently set up a stall in the town. It happened that the woman came to our stall, and I became suspicious. Seeing that she seemed to be following my uncle's mother, we suspected that she was not a good person. The result was During cross-examination, she changed her story and said she knew my aunt, and also said she knew the secrets related to our Bai family."

"Oh?" Mr. Li became interested. He originally thought it was just a simple civil dispute, but it sounded like something big was involved.

Bai Ruozhu continued: "She said that she delivered my aunt's baby six years ago. She also said that my aunt was stillborn and that the child she now has was from her. We were all shocked at the time. Well, she also said that there was a doctor from Fushou Tang who helped my aunt conceal the stillbirth. Later, she asked us to pay her some hush money, otherwise we would spread the news everywhere. "

"My grandpa and grandma are old, and my parents are afraid of making the old people angry. Plus, what the naughty woman said is reasonable and well-founded, so we believed her for a while and gave her two taels of silver." Bai Zepei added next to him, "But when I went home and thought about it, I felt something was wrong. When my eldest uncle gave birth, my mother was also watching. How could it be fake?"

Bai Ruozhu echoed from the side, "Yes, and the Fushou Tang seems to have a good reputation, so how could a doctor help others to cheat? That's why we found out that we were deceived." She said with a look of annoyance on her face .

"The matter of money is small, but the reputation of the Bai family is great, and such dishonest people must not be tolerated, so my parents asked me to ask adults to help redress the grievances." Bai Zepei said.

The brother and sister quickly explained the matter clearly with one sentence each. Mr. Li slammed the table after hearing this, "There is such a bold and cunning old woman? Then I must interrogate her carefully to prevent her from harming others in the future."

"Your Excellency is wise!" Bai Ruozhu flattered Mr. Li at the right moment.

Mr. Li immediately called an official to go to Lin'an Village to get someone. Coincidentally, the ones sent were Wang Luji and Wang Minglu. When they heard that it was a matter involving the Bai family, they were particularly concerned and rushed to Lin'an Village quickly. Kishimura.

While waiting, Mr. Li invited the two of them to drink tea. After a while, Jiang Yichun, wearing a mask, walked in. He looked very casual and did not need to communicate with Mr. Li at all.

"Sir, why are you here? Would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea?" Mr. Li stood up quickly and saluted Jiang Yichun. Bai Zepei and Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to stand up and salute.

Jiang Yichun gave a cold hum, then sat down and said, "By the way, bring me the recent interrogation booklet for me to review."

"Yes, I'll get it right away." Mr. Li said and walked away quickly, but Jiang Yichun suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Ruozhu, his eyes were so bright that it was scary, as if he could see deep into a person's heart.
