Chapter 306 I just want to blow his head off!
Shen Ruyi was helpless because of her cousin. Her cousin was a jealous person. When he heard that she was worried about her family's wealth, he became jealous.
Shen Ruyi whispered, "Cousin, don't treat Zhaocai like this. He grew up with me, just like my little brother. Don't bully him!"
Qin Beiyu's eyes changed and became gentle again: "Ahem... Cousin Ruyi is not jealous... Really, what is there for a man like Zhaocai to be nervous about? If you are nervous, you should be nervous about your cousin and the children, right?"
Shen Ruyi rolled her eyes and said, "Cousin, you are not the one whose bride was robbed, why should I be nervous about you? It is normal for the children to be nervous, they are my children. Anyway, you are not allowed to be jealous in the future, understand?"
The man laughed angrily, and couldn't help looking at the girl with tender eyes and said: "If your cousin's bride is kidnapped in the future, Ruyi must go and save him!
Even a talent like Zhaocai can be snatched away, your cousin is also very dangerous..."
"Yeah! Wasn't it Zhao Manman who robbed my cousin of his marriage? Or was it me, the beauty, who saved the hero..."
"Didn't my cousin pledge his love to me?"
"Ah...cousin, what are you talking about? I won't allow you to talk nonsense anymore..."
While the man and the woman were flirting quietly over here, the county magistrate had already entered the yard and was talking to the old patriarch of the Zhang family.
County Magistrate Mr. Zhang was called here by Qin Beiyu because of his identity, so he stood very straight at this moment!
With the support of the prince of the current dynasty, if he doesn't deal with the Yan family, he will probably lose his head!
"Old Patriarch, I must make the decision for your family on this matter. The Yan family wants to marry a dead person to a living woman, which is against the law..."
The old man's eyes were filled with tears: "Sir, thank you so much... Qiangzi's daughter is sixteen or seventeen years old this year. If her fiancé had died, our family would have just chipped in to pay back the betrothal gift, but their family is unreasonable!
He actually said that the two loads of dowry given two years ago must be returned as four loads this year, otherwise the Zhang family’s daughter would have to marry into their Yan family and become a widow!
You know that all the able-bodied men in our Zhang family have gone to join the army. Even to collect two loads of dowry, we have to mobilize the whole family. How can we come up with four loads of dowry?
I had no choice but to bring this foreign boy to my house today to make him my son-in-law, and I directly rejected the Yan family's marriage proposal..."
County Magistrate Zhang was sweating coldly: "Old clan leader, you can't just rob the bride! You should report to me..."
Suddenly, I heard a noisy sound coming from the street outside. A large carriage was coming quickly.
Soon a middle-aged man got off the carriage. He was tall and thin with a dark look in his eyes. He looked at the people around him, and they were trembling with fear and didn't dare to move forward!
Shen Ruyi pushed her cousin and said, "That must be the head of the Yan family. He looks so disgusting!"
The man held Shen Ruyi's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Ruyi. I have told Magistrate Zhang about this matter and asked him to deal with it according to the law!"
Shen Ruyi looked at the Yan family patriarch and said fiercely: "I'm not afraid of him, I just want to beat his dog head off!"
Qin Beiyu...
When the head of the family surnamed Yan arrived, he came to the county magistrate and clasped his fists: "Your Excellency is here too. This matter is justified by our Yan family. We did not bully the Zhang family!
The youngest son of the Yan family, Xuming, died on the battlefield. Now our family wants to find him a fiancée, which is reasonable, isn't it?"
The corner of County Magistrate Zhang's mouth twitched: "Master Yan, I have not received any list of your son Yan Xuming who died in battle, nor any notice of pension issued by the court. How can your family say that he died in battle?
According to the rules, the list of soldiers who died on the battlefield will first go through the government and then be sent to your families!
The court will then send down a pension, but I haven't received anything. You say that your youngest son Yan Xuming died in the battlefield, and you want to marry the daughter of the Zhang family to be his widow. This is seriously against common sense!
I will take you back today and investigate this matter according to legal procedures!
The Qin Dynasty has a strict law that prohibits marrying a living person to a dead person. Your family is violating the law of the court! The Qin Dynasty Penal Code shows that if the people of this dynasty discover that a family has married a living person to a dead person, the principal offender will be sentenced to exile and hard labor for more than ten years! "
hiss!
Everyone gasped. Are they really going to bring down the Yan family?
Yan Chang...
"Master Zhang, our family is a relative of the prefect, Master Sun. How can we follow the normal law?"
Qin Beiyu couldn't help but yelled in anger: "Even if you are relatives of the royal Qin family, you still have to act according to the law!
The laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict, and if a prince broke the law, he would be punished just like a commoner! Could it be that Sun Anmin, the prefect of Ancheng Prefecture, was above the law?
Damn it, it's really shameless!"
When Yan Chang turned around, he saw an imposing man standing there holding the hand of a plain-looking young lady. He looked at him seriously. For some reason, he actually felt his legs trembling!
Yan Chang coughed and said, "What does this have to do with you, an outsider? Who the hell are you..."
County Magistrate Zhang was so frightened that he quickly shouted: "Shut up! Arrest Yan Chang and bring him back to the county government office...
I'm sorry...I'm sorry, sir. I will definitely punish the Yan family severely, so please rest assured!"
Qin Beiyu looked at Yan Chang with a bad face. He snorted coldly, "Humph! What a joke! What's your youngest son's name? Is he Yan Xuming?"
Yan Chang said with some surprise: "Who are you? How do you know my son? He served in the Qin family army and has been in the northwest battlefield for almost two years..."
Qin Beiyu was so angry that he laughed: "Oh, Yan Xuming is a battalion commander of the Qin family army. He fought bravely for the country and did not die on the battlefield. He has won a great victory in the northwest and will return triumphantly soon. You want to marry him a wife and make him a widow at home. It's obvious that your motives are not pure!
Lying about marrying a dead person is a violation of the laws of the Qin Dynasty. Sir Zhang, it is useless to say more to him. You should punish him according to the law.
If the prefect Sun Anmin inquires about this matter, you should ask him to go to the capital in person and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
This matter will be reported to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later, and His Royal Highness will be informed to carefully review it to see whether Lord Sun, the prefect of Ancheng Prefecture, can continue to work for the welfare of the people in Ancheng Prefecture."
"Yes! I obey your command! Take him away..."
Yan Chang!!!
The county magistrate shouted, and Captain Zhang led his men to arrest all the members of the Yan family.
Magistrate Zhang: "Old clan leader, please bring one of your family members to the county government office later to talk. I will make the decision for your family on this matter!
The Yan family violated the laws of the court, so they must be severely punished! At present, Yan Chang will be exiled and forced to do hard labor for at least ten years!"
All the members of the Zhang family knelt down in the yard again: Thank you, the goddess of mercy, thank you, the county magistrate...
Qin Beiyu looked at the county magistrate and nodded, then he took his little cousin’s hand and walked out of Zhang’s yard.
After leaving the yard, Qin Beiyu turned around and saw Zhaocai, who was stunned and still standing there with a silly smile on his face. He couldn't help coughing.
"Ahem! Zhaocai, you are a live-in son-in-law here. Are you addicted or something?"
Zhaocai was startled and rushed out quickly. He smiled innocently and said, "Haha, no, I can't be a live-in son-in-law! I have some money in my pocket from selling fish. I'm going to buy some delicious food for the young masters!"
Shen Ruyi was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing: "You are so thoughtful to attract wealth. The children love to eat water chestnut cakes..."
When she looked at Zhaocai, she suddenly felt a little cold. She turned around and saw her cousin looking at her coldly, and then he looked at Zhaocai with an unhappy expression.
"What are you doing here like an idiot? Aren't you supposed to buy food for the children? Go buy it yourself, and leave first after you're done. Don't leave with us!"
Zhaocai scratched his head, not knowing what was going on: "Yes! I'll go buy the water chestnut cake right away!"
Zhaocai ran away. Shen Ruyi stretched out her hand and twisted the soft flesh on her cousin's waist. She whispered, "Cousin, you said you wouldn't be jealous, so why are you targeting Zhaocai again?"
Qin Beiyu...
