Chapter 142: Strange Injustices Through the Ages?

"I want to teach you to know, uncle...... Chen Ping is tall, others may ask me, the family is so poor, you and your wife are thin, but what did Chen Ping eat, and he looked so burly......"

"I was annoyed that Chen Ping was idle all day long, didn't manage the industry, and didn't help Litian, so I told everyone that what Chen Ping eats is just chaff, and it is better not to have such an uncle!"

Chen Ping's abandoned sister-in-law is not beautiful, although she is not as dark as Uncle Chen standing behind, but her hands are rough, her eyes are slightly swollen and red because she has cried, and her words are full of pungent energy.

At this moment, she, Chen Bo, and Chen Ping are all standing in the "township school" that is used as the office of the township officials to hear the case. In front of the "three triings" of Sifu Zhang Bo, the third elder Zhang Ying, and the Qin people You Heifu, Sister-in-law Chen seemed a little trembling, but she still explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly.

The so-called chaff is the bran skin left over from the rice, which can be used to feed the pigs. Sister-in-law Chen is scolding Chen Ping for being a fattened pig, but other people's pigs can be slaughtered and eaten in Layue, what can this pig do? It's a bit more ugly.

She said aggrievedly: "As a result, Uncle Chen heard this." ”

Sister-in-law Chen turned her head to look at Uncle Chen, who was still angry, and said with a crying voice: "He actually drove me back to my parents' house despite the love of husband and wife for more than ten years, and said that he wanted to divorce his wife......"

After saying that, she bowed to Heifu and the others: "That's what happened, as for the robber?" Never! I already dislike Chen Ping, how can I ...... with him?"

Speaking of this, Sister-in-law Chen's face turned red, and she turned around and scolded the people who were listening to the lawsuit at the gate of the township school: "I don't know whose crow's mouth is broken, and his mouth is full of feces!" ”

"Good, it's good to make things clear, you can stand aside first."

Zhang Bo nodded, and said to Heifu, who was sitting on the side: "You, are you satisfied now?" ”

According to the system of the Qin State, it was Zhang Bo's duty to hear lawsuits, collect taxes, and try cases. But the previous two or three cases were nothing more than thefts and injuries that didn't work, and it was understandable that Heifu, who was in charge of banning thieves, was involved.

Moreover, when they tried the case, they did not sentence them according to the laws of Qin, because from Zhang Bo to the people of the whole township, no one understood the laws and decrees of the Qin State. Before the Qin court sent a lawyer to the law, the local case was still sentenced to Wei customs, and Heifu was not too demanding, and everyone cooperated quite happily.

But this case is a little inexplicable.

Originally, it was just an ordinary trivial matter of divorce from his wife, plus the rumors of Chen Ping's "stealing sister-in-law". Like this kind of thing, in the alleys of the township, under the melon fields and plums, which month has there not been two or three cases?

It stands to reason that Heifu, who shouldn't care about this matter, seems to have been beaten with chicken blood, he first found the third old man Zhang Ying, and talked to him about King Qin's importance to male and female ethics. In Qin Law, improper men and women who are caught cheating and cheating must be convicted, and the brother-in-law who steals his sister-in-law must be severely punished......

This remark made Zhang Cheng inevitably pay attention to this matter, Zhang's self-proclaimed home of poetry, books, and music, and Confucianism is very sensitive to the defense of men and women within the family.

"You is right, we must not let the things of Qing's father and mourning Jiang flood in my hometown!"

So the two of them found Zhang Bo, a husband who was moved by affection, and the other who knew reason, and finally reached this "unprecedented" triage of three officials in Humu Township.

In the past half a month, although Heifu is still not able to speak, but he can understand seven or eight percent of the local dialect, Zhang Bo asked him if he was not satisfied with Chen's confession, but he didn't know that Heifu had heard it for the second time......

The day before yesterday, after listening to Zhong Ming's gossip about "Chen Ping's thief's sister-in-law", he immediately asked Zhong Ming to continue inquiring.

Later, it was discovered that most of these rumors were groundless, and the more they spread, the more outrageous they became, and all the nonsense was said, but the real neighbors of Chen Ping's family flatly denied it.

"Sister-in-law Chen and Chen Ping have never been on good terms, and they have always disliked him for not governing the industry, and they have to frown when they look at him on weekdays, and when Uncle Chen is not there, he will scold Chen Ping loudly in public, how can he have an affair with him?"

After learning about this inside story, Heifu quickly took people and went to Chen's sister-in-law's mother's house in the name of routine patrols.

In the face of the uninvited Qin officials, Sister-in-law Chen's brothers were frightened, and Sister-in-law Chen also trembled and told the cause and effect of the incident.

After careful investigation and confirmation that Chen Ping really did not steal his sister-in-law, Heifu decided to go to Chen Ping's house again to have a look, so he saw the poor courtyard, which was poorer than when Heifu first came to this era.

After seeing Chen Ping and being amazed at his handsome appearance and proper speech and demeanor, Heifu made up his mind.

"Chen Ping, this is an important figure in the Chu Han and early Han dynasties, and it is also the first historical celebrity I have met, although his intelligence and temperament are not fully mature, but he owes me a great favor early, maybe it can come in handy in the future......"

Besides, since Chen Ping's theft of his sister-in-law is indeed a myth that comes out of nowhere, it is quite fun to help Chen Ping take off this hat of "strange injustice".

But this matter is not something that can be cleared up by Sister-in-law Chen's confession alone, Heifu asked Zhong Ming to help him tell Sifu and the third elder, saying that he had to let Uncle Chen and Chen Ping also explain it separately.

"These Qin people really have a lot of rules."

Zhang Bo was a little impatient, in the past, they didn't use any Wei laws to try the case, just use folk etiquette to judge, but Zhang Ying secretly pulled his sleeve, and Zhang Bo let Chen Bo and Chen Ping speak.

Uncle Chen is a peasant man with a violent temperament, his speech is vulgar, his confession is completely biased towards Chen Ping, and he is reluctant to mention the so-called "sister-in-law" rumors, and at the same time insists that Sister-in-law Chen is not virtuous, so she is abandoned.

"It's better to have a wife than nothing!"

After ending the confession with this sentence, Chen's sister-in-law was furious and began to scold Uncle Chen, saying that he had no conscience, and that the two enemies were about to fight in court.

Zhang Bo was furious and was about to let the rude couple pull away, but at this time, he had been silent, his eyes were observing back and forth between Erzhang and Heifu, and Chen Ping, who was thoughtful, suddenly stood up.

He pounced, knelt in front of his brother and sister-in-law, and said with a heavy pause: "Brother and sister-in-law, don't quarrel, all of this is Chen Ping's fault." ”

Uncle Chen and Sister-in-law Chen stopped scolding each other and looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping raised his head, and his originally shrewd and wise eyes were already full of tears.

"Ping's parents died early when I was a child, and it was my uncle and sister-in-law who single-handedly pulled me up. My brother doted on me, so that I didn't have to go to the field, I wanted to study, my brother cut down on food and clothing, bought books for me, I wanted to study, so my brother borrowed money everywhere to help me study. For more than ten years, I have worked hard and complained, and there is no heavy word. In the eyes of Ping, brother is like a loving father! ”

Uncle Chen was a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands and said, "My own brother, what are you doing about this." ”

Chen Ping shook his head: "These words were hidden in my heart in the past, but now, if I don't say it, it's too late." ”

He looked at his sister-in-law, and then paused: "The same is true for my sister-in-law, in my brother's opinion, my sister-in-law always scolds me for not doing my job on weekdays, which sounds hard to hear, but scolding is scolding, the clothes and shoes on Ping's body, which is not sewn by my sister-in-law day and night?" Whenever there is any damage, my sister-in-law will first reprimand me for not cherishing it, and then immediately help me repair it......"

The handsome young man touched the linen clothes covered with patches on his body, and said emotionally: "The family is poor, only thirty acres of thin fields, life is not easy, and I am such an uncle who is not involved in industry, there is no resentment, that is a saint!" Besides, my sister-in-law scolded me, but in the final analysis, it was for my own good, for fear that I would really become a scoundrel with nothing to do. So in the eyes of Ping, sister-in-law is like a strict mother! ”

At this moment, Sister-in-law Chen, who was still full of contempt for him, couldn't hold it all of a sudden, she turned her face away, her eyes were red again, and Uncle Chen also sighed, not so irritable and impulsive.

Chen Ping continued: "Treat my brother and sister-in-law as parents, and my brother and sister-in-law have no children, so why don't you treat my brother and sister-in-law as parents and children?" But as the saying goes, loving fathers and mothers have many defeated children, and brothers have been loving, if the sister-in-law is not stricter, the supervisor reprimands me, Chen Ping, I'm afraid I will really become a waste! The grace of nurturing cannot be repaid, don't say a word, even if it is ten or a hundred sentences, Chen Ping has to listen. So brother, you don't have to be angry, for the sake of that uncle's unintentional words, you have to abandon your wife and divorce your wife. ”

Chen Ping pointed to the blood spots on his shoulders that were strangled by hemp ropes, and said in a choked voice: "Ping went out to carry firewood today, and then I know how hard my brother and sister-in-law's work is on weekdays. Ping hereby swears that from today on, when he is self-reliant, he will no longer be idle, not engaged in industry, and let the burden of the whole family be on his uncle and sister-in-law! ”

After that, Chen Ping looked at the head for the third time and pleaded: "The reason why home is home is that husband and wife love each other, brothers are filial, and if there is one less, how can home be home?" Brother and sister-in-law have helped and supported each other for many years, but they can't be separated suddenly because of some trivial things, Ping is here in front of the villagers, fathers and elders, asking my brother to retract his words of divorce, and also ask his sister-in-law to forgive Chen Ping and go home. ”

"My brother, what are you ......" Uncle Chen didn't expect his younger brother to persuade him to get back together in public, and he was a little at a loss.

"Uncle, you...... Why should you do that? Seeing that the uncle finally woke up and claimed to be responsible for the family, Sister-in-law Chen did not have the previous grievances and resentment, but felt a little sorry for him.

After the couple looked at each other, although they immediately looked away, their attitude seemed to loosen slightly. Husband and wife, although it is inevitable to shout and kill on weekdays, but for more than ten years, there is already family affection in it, fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.

Chen Ping saw that the two of them were moved by what he said, and smiled: "I hope my brother and sister-in-law will think about it." ”

Then he got up, elegantly flicked the dust off his body, and respectfully waved at the Zhang brothers and Heifu.

"Chen Ping's family affairs, let you bother!"

"There is nothing bigger than a family matter in the world, and if this matter can be resolved, it will also be a good deed, as the three elders of discipline, this official would like to do so."

Zhang Ying's expression has changed from the initial disdain for the "sister-in-law thief" to surprise, and at this moment, he is already amazed.

Heifu also secretly admired the festival, and said in his heart: "Chen Ping when he was young is indeed far from the image of the conspirator in my impression. Although he can't see his future posture yet, he is extremely sensitive to the grasp of opportunities. The words of admonition to my brother and sister-in-law seemed to be emotional, but in fact, every sentence was carefully carved and figured out in my heart. ”

Heifu looked at the Chen couple who were no longer as powerful, and then looked at the gate of the township school, those township party people who opened their mouths wide and changed their eyes from disgust to sympathy and appreciation, felt that Chen Ping was not bad.

"This public trial, which was supposed to be led by me to clear his grievances, has become a stage for Chen Ping to cleanse the villagers' bad impression of him at this time?"

The dispute between brother and sister-in-law, this is the root cause of Chen Ping's slander, this kid found the key point of the contradiction at the first time, untied the knot, and the slander was self-defeating.

Although he didn't find many opportunities to play, Hefu was not worried:

"This Chen Ping, it's a little interesting!"

……

ps: I'm too tired to spin these days, I got up late, I felt like I was back from a good night's sleep, and the second chapter was at half past 16. In addition, there is a lot of controversy about Chen Ping, but July is indeed written in accordance with the historical records, Chen Ping, this is a typical example of a good doctor with a three-fold share, and he entered the society with the ambition of dominating the world, but he was slandered and pit by his pig teammates many times, and finally blackened, and when I have time, I will write a special comment on Chen Ping.
