Chapter 48
While Murong Hao and Li Mingzhe were chatting and laughing, and in the silence inside the mule cart, they finally arrived at the Yamen Gate.
After Li Mingzhe stopped the mule cart, he shouted to the village chief inside, "Grandpa, we are here."
Then he jumped out of the mule cart first, followed by Murong Hao.
The village chief heard Li Mingzhe's voice and walked out. With Li Mingzhe's help, he jumped out of the mule cart. Murong Yue and Xiao Qi waited for him to get off before getting out.
After everyone got off the mule cart, the village chief said, "Let's go!"
It is said that the people do not fight with the officials, so the village chief lacked the calmness to face the villagers.
"Stop, no idlers can enter the important place of the yamen." Two officials stopped them at the same time and shouted sternly.
The village chief bowed respectfully, and the others behind him followed suit.
"Two gentlemen, could you please tell me that Li Zhenggang, the head of Qingquan Village, is here to handle the divorce and house deeds." The village head smiled and explained his purpose.
Then he took out the divorce document and the land deed from his arms and handed it to the official. "This is the divorce document and the land deed. Please take a look at it, the official."
The village chief spoke politely throughout the whole process.
An official took the thing in his hand, looked at it again, and then looked at the people behind the village chief.
Then he said, "There will be consequences for breaking up the relationship. Did you make it clear?"
"I've made it clear, I've made it clear, they all know it." The village chief nodded respectfully.
"Then just wait, I'll report it."
After the official left, Li Mingzhe complained angrily in a low voice.
"What's so great about letting my grandfather talk to him in such a low voice?"
Murong Hao, who was next to him, happened to hear it. He sighed and shook his head and said, "This is officialdom. If you are not careful, you will be beaten, and in severe cases, you will be beheaded."
"I know, I just can't see my grandpa being like this, and I feel aggrieved for him."
"If you don't want your family to be like this, then become an official with a higher status than these officials, so your family won't be wronged?" Murong Yue on the side listened to his words and sighed in her heart, children are just children.
,Hey~
"Hey~ Sister Xiaoyue, do you think that when you become an official, you just have to do it?" After listening to her words, Li Mingzhe felt that she was the kind of person who could stand and talk without pain in her back.
"Then you can only look at your grandpa, your father and the others, nodding and bowing to a small official!" Murong Yue said, "It's none of my business. If you don't have the ability, you can only watch your family being respectful to others."
"You~" Li Mingzhe pointed at her angrily, but he couldn't deny that she was telling the truth.
Then he looked like I don't care about you, and asked Murong Hao next to him in a low voice, "How come I didn't notice this sister of yours before, how can you be so talkative?"
After hearing this, Murong Hao glanced at Murong Yue thoughtfully, and then replied to him with an expression that only I knew, "I just found out too."
Li Mingzhe raised his eyebrows and glanced at Murong Hao strangely.
At this time, the official who entered came out.
He said softly, "Go in!"
Several people hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Official."
Then Murong Yue and others walked into the Yamen. Murong Yue looked at everything in the Yamen, which was not much different from what they saw on TV, and instantly lost interest.
Several people came to the court hall, and there were four officials standing on the left and right. The person sitting in the middle, who didn't even know he was the county magistrate, was sitting on the left side of him. To his left was the master.
"The head of Qingquan Village pays homage to the county magistrate." The village head stood in front and was the first to kneel down.
Murong Hao from behind pulled Murong Qi, and Li Mingzhe followed closely and knelt down. "The common people pay their respects to the county magistrate."
Murong Yue saw this puckered mouth and knelt down unwillingly.
The people in the hall said, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Lord County Magistrate." Everyone thanked and stood up.
"Who are the three people who broke off the relationship?" Zhao Chengwen looked at the people below and asked.
After listening to his words, Murong Hao and the other three stepped forward and saluted, "Sir, it's us three brothers and sisters."
"Hmm! Did you know that you have to pay 20 yuan to break up the relationship? You also have to pay one tael of silver to apply for a household registration?" Zhao Chengwen asked again.
"Sir, the common people know." Murong Hao replied.
"Since you know, why do you still bring up the matter of breaking up the relationship? Besides, wouldn't it be better to have the protection of the family?"
"Sir, the divorce document is clearly written. You must have read the reason. Do you think there is any difference between having such a family member and not having one?"
