Princess Jianwen didn't know that Ye Shixi encountered a difficult lawsuit when he took office.

This lawsuit was encountered by him when he entered Xijing City, and the defendant was Ge Guangmu, whom he knew.

This matter has to start from March today, and it is a coincidence that it happened to be when Ye Shixi was trying in the main hall.

On the sixth day of the first month of March, Ge Guangmu was very bored, so he walked around his home, which happened to meet a woman in the alley.

This woman is in the prime of her life, weak willows support the wind, her eyes are full of affection, Ge Guangmu fell into a daze when she saw it.

The woman did not shy away from it, and saluted to Ge Guangmu, Ge Guangmu inquired, only to know that it was the wife of the blacksmith who rented his house.

This woman was called Liu Zhou, who was originally a rich man's roommate, but later the rich man died of illness, and she had no heirs, so she was kicked out.

I don't know if luck is good or bad, when I met this blacksmith, the blacksmith had some spare money, so Liu Zhou married this blacksmith.

Liu Zhou's family first got married for a living, and after this worry-free life, he had other ideas.

After all, this blacksmith is old, and his appearance is not handsome, Liu Zhou's looks disgusted, but because he is not familiar with life here, and he has no money, he can only live with it.

met Ge Guangmu today, Ge Guangmu, a beautiful man, looks like a good choice, so Liu Zhou's heart was moved.

This one is that King Xiang has a dream, and the other is a goddess who has love, and within a few days, he got married.

The blacksmith was not a foolish man, and after hearing some rumors, he made up his mind.

On this day, after the blacksmith came back, he deliberately said loudly: "Hurry up and prepare the meal, tonight, I want Master Zhou's house to help him repair all the farm tools, and it will take at least two or three days to come back." ”

After Ge Guangmu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he looked outside through the crack in the door, and sure enough, when it was getting dark, the blacksmith took the outfit and left the house.

After Ge Guangmu and the other blacksmiths left, they opened the door, went to the lane, and nodded at Liu Zhou's, and Liu Zhou's also nodded, which was an agreement.

In the evening, Ge Guangmu waited until the second watch and got up.

Kong Liyang asked Ge Guangmu what was wrong, and Ge Guangmu said that he got up at night and let Kong Liyang rest.

After Ge Guangmu got up, he came to the blacksmith's door and knocked on the door, and Liu Zhou, who was carefully dressed, opened the door and welcomed Ge Guangmu in.

The two didn't know that the blacksmith had been waiting for them, and the blacksmith waited until Ge Guangmu entered the house, estimated a quarter of an hour, and then went to knock on the door.

"Open the door, I don't have all my things, open the door quickly."

This cry made the two of them tremble with fright, and Ge Guangmu didn't pay attention to it for a while.

The blacksmith also broke into the door directly, saw the situation in the house, and said loudly: "Okay, Ge Xianggong, you have done a great good thing today, and my old Liu will not talk to you, and I will go to the yamen with me." ”

"Dude, dude, forgive me, forgive me, it's that I can't stand you."

Ge Guangmu didn't know what to say for a while, and the blacksmith said: "Ge Xianggong, you are a scholar, my old Liu has always respected scholars, I will give you a face in this matter, you take two hundred taels out, we will expose it, if you are unwilling, then Ge Xianggong, please go to the yamen with my old Liu." ”

"Dude, you wait, I'll go back."

"Don't dare, there's Brother Lao, just wait here."

The blacksmith said, tied Ge Guangmu's hands and feet with hemp rope, and then went to the backyard of Ge Mansion and knocked on the door.

After Wang Zhong opened the door, the blacksmith took out Ge Guangmu's coat and said to Wang Zhong, "Please come with me." ”

Wang Zhong could only follow the blacksmith to the house, and when he went in, seeing this situation, how could Wang Zhong not understand, on this hot day, he only felt that a bucket of cold water was poured from the top of his head, and his hands and feet were cold.

"What are you going to do?"

"It depends on whether it is private or public, if it is private, six hundred taels of silver. If it's done, let's go to the yamen. ”

Wang Zhong had no other choice, so he asked the blacksmith to wait for a while, returned to Gefu, woke up his wife, and asked her to wake up Zhang.

After hearing this, Zhang also felt that it was a thunderbolt and almost fainted.

Wang Zhong told Zhang that this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be difficult for people to know.

After hearing this, Zhang hurriedly asked Kong Liyang to take out six hundred taels of silver, and then Wang Zhong took it to the blacksmith's house.

The blacksmith didn't recognize any quality, and after accepting it, he untied the rope and said to Ge Guangmu: "Ge Xianggong, I'm really sorry, you always please, you can rest assured, no one else will know about this matter." My old Liu doesn't want people to point at the backbone and scold. ”

When Ge Guangmu returned to the mansion, Kong Liyang saw him and understood a little in his heart, thinking that her husband was like this, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, her eyes were dark, and she fainted.

Ge Guangmu hurriedly carried Kong Liyang to the room and took care of him.

And the blacksmith took the money, thinking to himself that his wife was young, and if he continued to stay here, he was afraid that he would cause himself a lot of trouble, and he now had two hundred taels of silver, and he would not worry about food and clothing.

So the blacksmith had the heart to escape, but before leaving, he remembered the boxes in the backyard of the house, he was not tempted, but now he is leaving, and now Ge Guangmu has a handle in his hands, forgive him and dare not say more.

The blacksmith had confidence, so he opened the lock, and it turned out that it was full of troupe leaders, and he cursed and left.

After dawn, Wang Zhong was worried about the change, so he went to the blacksmith's house to look, and saw that the blacksmith was gone, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

After checking it, the boxes were opened, and it didn't matter, so I put them back in.

In the following days, Ge Guangmu kept to himself, and he didn't step out of the door, like a deep girl.

And coincidentally, on this day, someone came to visit, and Ge Guangmu saw that since it was Du Yibei who came.

Ge Guangmu didn't know what was going on, so he was happy and asked Du Yibei to come in, and after Du Yibei arrived, he saluted to Ge Guangmu and said: "Ge Xianggong, I haven't seen you for a few years, I don't know if it's good." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Master Duban, what is the so-called matter when you come here this time."

Du Yibei said that he was here to get back his own clothes, Du Yibei said that he was unlucky, in the past few years, he has cultivated a few corners, either died of illness, or was given to people by high-ranking officials and nobles.

Ge Guangmu also remembered that Du Yibei owed him money that day, and told him about it, and after Du Yibei heard it, he just said that it was difficult to turn over now, and he would give it to Ge Guangmu when he had a surplus.

After Ge Guangmu heard this, he was not in a hurry, so he went with Du Yibei to get the line.

This time, Du Yibei brought three martial artists to help carry them, and when he arrived at the house, Du Yibei saw that the lock on it was picked open, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

He deliberately exclaimed, "This, how is this open." ”

So Du Yibei opened it and looked at it, pretended to look at it, and said to Ge Guangmu that he was so less, so less.

Ge Guangmu said that these things were placed here, and he had never touched them, and these things were decorated in, but someone had a purpose.

Du Yibei finally seized this opportunity, and naturally refused to give up, saying that he was going to find Baozheng, so he looked at the box and went to Baozheng himself.

Seeing this situation, Ge Guangmu asked Wang Zhong to invite Gou Geng, a witness from that year, to testify.

Wang Zhong arrived at Gou Geng's house, Gou Geng was worried that he had no money, so he made an excuse that he was very busy, and he was going to so-and-so's house to find someone to borrow ten taels of silver, and when this matter was done, he would definitely come back.

After Wang Zhong came back to pray, Ge Guangmu had already learned well, saying that Gou Geng was here, and the matter of ten taels of silver was wrapped in him.

Gou Geng knew that Ge Guangmu was a loyal and honest person, so he came here in a hurry.

At this time, Bao Zheng was also invited by Du Yibei, and after Bao Zheng arrived, he asked what happened.

After Ge Guangmu said this, he glanced at Bao Zheng, and this Bao Zheng saw that one was a wealthy young master and the other was the master of the opera troupe, and the name in his heart was clear.

Gou Geng arrived, and then Ge Guangmu took out the IOU, and Bao Zheng said to Du Yibei: "Ge Xianggong, that is the family of the gentry, how can you covet your little things, now that the human and material evidence is there, you should take the things away and make up the money." ”

Seeing Baozheng say this, Du Yibei could only give up, and then Ge Guangmu entertained Baozheng, and Gou Geng heard that a neighbor came to report that his mother was sick, so he left first.

Gou Geng didn't expect that this was actually Du Yibei's strategy, Du Yibei saw that his good deeds were ruined by Gou Geng, and he was angry in his heart, so he tricked Gou Geng out, and then beckoned the three martial artists to come forward.

This Gou Geng had to run, this Wusheng was chasing behind, and when they were chasing, they didn't look at people, and Gou Geng was in a hurry and bumped into Ye Shixi's sedan chair.

Ye Shixi walked out of the sedan chair, saw this situation, and asked the officials around him to take down the four people and ask them what was the matter.

Du Yibei saw that Ye Shixi's accent was not local, so he hurriedly avenged his grievances, saying that the local gentry colluded with the strongman and forcibly seized his property.

Ye Shixi still had resentment in his heart because he didn't deal with that group of people in the capital, and now when he heard Du Yibei say this, he hooked his anger again, so he asked Du Yibei what was going on.

Du Yibei said that he was a troupe owner, and when the troupe was leaving, it was inconvenient to take these things away, so he handed them over to a large gentry to take care of.

He sued Baozheng, and Baozheng was partial to this gentleman, and instead turned one thing into nothing.

Among them, Gou Geng just gave false testimony, and he didn't have a good atmosphere, so he wanted to beat him.
