Chapter 195 I am not wrong
The ladies in Majia Village wanted to refute Lu Songli's words, but no matter what they said, the onlookers would boo them.
Being so obviously targeted, they could only leave in disgrace.
Lu Mingzhi and his group had just returned from the county government office when they saw such a scene.
Earlier, he had just experienced a baptism of language in Liucheng County Government Office. Mr. Xue quoted classics and argued with him, pushing the whole case step by step in the direction he wanted.
As soon as he came back, he personally experienced the remarks from his second sister that reversed right and wrong. His second sister's mouth could really make the dead alive.
If he was not a man and did not feel the malice in his second sister's words, he would believe that his second sister was completely thinking about those poor men who demanded that women should not despise the poor and love the rich.
Today, he deeply realized that language is really a sharp weapon.
Lu Mingzhi discovered that no matter whether it was his father, Mr. Xue or his second sister, they were all so powerful.
He really couldn't help it at this time. He looked up at the sky. God, there are so many smart people in the world who are good at talking, why can't he be one more?
Xue Xu also heard the words of the Sixth Young Master's wife. He thought to himself that Majia Village was going to be unlucky.
The people in Liucheng had never heard such witty and persuasive words, and the common people would also add fuel to the flames.
Because there are always people who accidentally give birth to one or two daughters who are fooled by men and want to marry down. Well, fortunately, there are no such naive daughters in their own family, but there must be some in their relatives' families, right? For such girls, they have to persuade them. The words of the Sixth Young Master's wife are very suitable for persuading people.
Once the Sixth Young Master's wife's remarks spread, Majia Village will become famous, and this name is not a good reputation.
The village chief of Majia Village is dealing with the aftermath. Old Ma was beaten with ten boards, and her pants were soaked with blood. He can't just ignore it, right? And he stayed to take the opportunity to warn her that if she still wants this little life, don't say anything.
When he arranged for several strong men in the village to lift Old Lady Ma onto the carriage, he saw Ma Zhongping coming back with a sad face. He had no wife or daughter behind him. It was obvious that Qi Zhenniang and her daughter did not want to come back with him.
Looking at the other ladies who followed him, the head of Majia Village found that they looked strange, so he asked them quickly.
When he knew what happened, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes.
The case of Old Lady Ma's family had a bad influence, and now with Lu Songli's words, what good reputation did their Majia Village have?
"You're back?" After sending away the annoying people, Lu Songli smiled and greeted Lu Mingzhi and the others, as if she didn't realize that she had said something shocking.
"Yes, second sister, you don't know, Mr. Xue is very powerful..."
Lu Mingzhi has a good eloquence, and he described almost the entire case very clearly and completely, but some details were supplemented by the brothers who went with him.
The brothers who did not go to the county government office were stunned. They looked at Xue Xu and thought, I didn't expect this skinny old man to be so good at talking.
Ordinary people are afraid of seeing officials and going to court because justice is never so easy to get. Many people in the government eat this side and eat that side. Sometimes you can't get justice just because you are right.
Although they didn't go with them, they were very concerned about the outcome of the case, but they were not sure about the outcome.
Lu Songli listened quietly. Xue Xu was indeed knowledgeable and talented. The ancient sages' laws such as "doubts of guilt should be light, doubts of merit should be heavy, and it is better to kill innocent people than to lose the truth" in the "Book of Shang" have been passed down for a long time and even provided ideological basis for the judicial system in later generations. The "innocent until proven guilty" of later generations is actually inherited and improved from "doubts of guilt should be light", and its legal spirit can be traced.
"Mr. Xue is great." Lu Songli praised.
Xue Xu is really good. He handled this matter beautifully. What she was most satisfied with was that Xue Xu's lawsuit could enlighten people.
Chinese people are so good. When they are scolded, criticized, or accused of bad things, many people are used to reflecting on themselves first, and then eager to prove their innocence. In Lu Songli's view, it is because they are too deeply influenced by Confucian culture and have too weak a sense of attack.
She agrees with what is said in the Way of Heaven: strong culture creates strong people, and weak culture creates weak people.
In Liaoxi County and Liucheng, a place where wars are frequent, the people are as docile as sheep. Wouldn't they be slaughtered by foreign races?
This matter is not his own achievement. Xue Xu hesitated and asked, "Sixth Young Master's wife knows He Ziqi and Lord He?"
Xue Xu thought about it and there was only this possibility. Before, Sixth Young Master's wife arranged Lu Mingzhi to assist him, and he thought it was unnecessary. But Sixth Young Master's wife has always been methodical in doing things. She might have other intentions for making such arrangements, so he didn't refuse.
Then, the case went smoothly from beginning to end. The other party obviously let them pass.
Lu Songli nodded slightly, without denying his statement.
The case was over, and they should not stay in the city for long. The group packed up and left the city in a mighty manner. Before that, Lu Songli took Lu Mingzhi and wrote a simple thank-you letter together and asked someone to deliver it to the county government office.
He Ziqi arranged someone to be at the front door of the county government office, and the letter was delivered smoothly.
When the messenger came back and said that, Lu Songli knew that He Ziqi was a smart man. The two parties had confirmed each other's identities without meeting each other, and they understood each other tacitly.
When leaving the city, Lu Mingzhi continued to talk about the previous case.
Everyone listened with relish without getting bored.
When we arrived outside the city, we found an open space near the water source. We began to divide work and cooperate, setting up camp, collecting firewood for hunting, burying pots to make rice...
Qin Sheng went hunting, and today's incident was safe. Lu Songli suggested cooking a delicious meal to reward everyone.
Not long after, the meal was ready. Qin Jia came to the river and called Lu Songli and Lu Mingzhi to come over for dinner.
Lu Songli stood up and the three of them walked to the meal point together.
Lu Mingzhi looked around first, and then said to his second sister, "Mr. Xue's behavior of criticizing others is the same as our father."
These people can stand and talk without pain in their backs. Unless a knife is used on them, they will not know the pain. Fortunately, Xue Xu had already shown them how to resist.
As soon as Lu Songli arrived, Qin Sheng handed her the rice.
Lu Songli took it and said, "Mr. Xue's approach is right. When we encounter injustice, we should not always ask ourselves where we have done wrong. It is possible that it is not you who are wrong, but others."
Lu Mingzhi said hesitantly, "But the sage said, I have to examine myself three times every day." What his second sister said was different from what his master taught.
"It's a good habit." Lu Songli took the meal and found a seat to sit down, leaving a seat next to Qin Sheng.
"Second sister, are you like this too?"
"Yes, so do I." Lu Songli looked towards the pot of pheasant stewed with mushrooms as she spoke.
Immediately there was a chopstick of fragrant mushrooms and chicken in her bowl.
She ate it and thought it tasted delicious. She thought to herself that one day, she would like to try stewing a goose in an iron pot. But she didn't dare to say it. She was afraid that if she said it, her husband would directly bring her a big goose tomorrow.
Hearing this, Xue Xu looked towards her. This doesn't seem like something she would say. Strong people usually have firm thoughts, are not easily shaken by others, and rarely doubt their own decisions.
Lu Mingzhi didn't understand even more, "Second sister, then you are not a spear——"
Lu Songli said simply, "I have to examine myself three times every day, and I am not wrong."
puff--
Qin Zhao, who had been listening to the words of the two siblings with open ears, immediately complained.
He looked at his sixth brother and sister and wanted to say, please don't say something shocking while eating.
Qin Sheng glanced at his third brother with disgust, personally brought enough food to his wife, and took her to the side.
Lu Mingzhi: ...As expected of her sister!
Others were also confused by her words.
Excuse me, what is the use of doing three provinces in one day?
It doesn't matter if you dare to be sentimental or not, the point is that you are right, right?
Lu Songli: As the saying goes, if you can embarrass others, don’t embarrass yourself. Others are blaming yourself, but you still reflect on yourself, bah! There is no point in talking nonsense, let others reflect on themselves.
Xue Xu secretly nodded, that's right, strong men have clear aggression, but all their attacks are directed outward and never towards themselves.
