In Xu Hao's opinion, the maid who marries is the most suspicious, and the young lady is desperate to marry a chicken and a chicken, how can the maid be willing? It's not strange to have such a scheming, it's just that the luck is too good, the development of the whole incident is flawless, and it's a pity that such a scheming luck doesn't go to be the little master of Huan Huan.

In the face of everyone's doubts, Mu Qingshuang did not sell it, and talked about it at the moment.

In cases of immorality, except for the fourth party, there can be no winner, whether it is Tang Tongsheng, He or Mu Shou, they are all disgraced, and everyone is angry.

Mu Shou watched He leave in despair, gritted his teeth in anger, and thought about revenge, and soon heard that Tang Tongsheng's fiancée Lu had withdrawn from the marriage, thinking that he had played with my daughter-in-law, I just wanted my son to marry his wife, first, to anger him alive, and secondly, to talk in front of the neighbors.

Although he heard that the appearance of the daughter of the Lu family was not good, far from being comparable to the He family, he was really scared by the beautiful daughter-in-law, and he was willing to marry an ugly girl as the treasure of the family.

Because he wanted to be angry with Tang Tongsheng, Mu Shou, who was stingy by nature, really let it go, and the day his son got married was particularly lively, doing a lot of work, blowing a big show, dozens of tables of flowing water seats were used to reward the neighbors, and the troupe sang for three days and three nights, which caused a sensation in half of Dali.

Tang Tongsheng hid at home to recuperate from his injuries, and after this incident, Sven swept the floor, lost half of his fame, and was deeply resentful. When he heard that his fiancée had married the enemy, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died.

The next door was full of laughter and laughter, and he was cold and lonely there, beating his chest and feet; What did the next door say about worshipping heaven and earth and entering the cave room, he sighed again and again here, and wanted to simply crash into a hundred deaths.

But the eldest husband has been wronged, and he can't turn a blind eye when he dies, so he plans to seek revenge with the mentality of enduring humiliation and stealing his life.

Speaking of which. Mu Qingshuang said again: "There is a providence in the underworld, who would have thought that the prefect had a preconceived idea and tried an unjust case, but as a result, he also encountered strange things, which shows that there are gods in the head." ”

Xiao Yezi asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Qingshuang said: "The son of the prefect died of illness, and the daughter-in-law and widow lived at home, and she has always been praised for keeping her chastity. The prefect was old and entangled in all kinds of things, sometimes sleeping with his wife, sometimes sleeping alone in the study.

When I was in Dali, the prefect went out to worship me. His wife had nothing to do to sit in his study, and suddenly found something outside the bedside tent, stuffed in a gap in the wall, and when she took it down, she saw that it was an embroidered shoe. His wife carefully identified it, and vaguely felt that it seemed to be her daughter-in-law's, so she hid it in her sleeve and went to the daughter-in-law's room, and counted the shoes under the bed, and there happened to be a single-headed one. I took out the one in the sleeve and compared it, and it was a pair. ”

As mentioned earlier, the prefect is afraid of the inside, and the lady is short-tempered and does not rub sand in her eyes, and she is so angry for a moment that she can't care about anything. When he opened his mouth, he scolded his daughter-in-law, what a thousand lewd women, ten thousand lewd women, etc., and scolded a daughter-in-law to the point of blood.

The daughter-in-law has a clear conscience. It is not a fuel-efficient lamp itself, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a sentence for you and a sentence for me. Fight.

was fighting in the heat, the prefect went home, heard the quarrel between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and hurriedly came over to persuade him. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by his wife for "old pickpocketing ashes, old shamelessness", and he didn't dare to fight back, and returned to the study in a gloomy manner.

He called the housekeeper's daughter-in-law and asked, "For what?" ”

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law said: "The master is amazing, the shoes you hid in the crack of the wall of the study were found by the lady, and you took them to the young grandmother's house. ”

"Fuck your mother's east window." The prefect scolded, and was stunned by anger, what is the trouble of really wanting to add to the crime?

Question: He didn't know how to tell the difference, who knew which disgruntled subordinate secretly hid the shoes? This had to be investigated slowly, and after about half an hour, suddenly the maid ran in in a panic and shouted, "Master, grandma is hanged." ”

Buzzing, the prefect's hands and feet were suddenly cold, stumbling over, on the way to meet the wife who rushed over, and was about to complain that she had lost her life, but the lady couldn't help but say, stepped forward and grabbed his beard, and dragged half of it down.

Everyone died, and the prefect sighed, for fear of breaking the system, he had to swallow his anger and bury his daughter-in-law, not daring to make a noise. But because of this, he was depressed, he had no intention of being an official, and he lost a beard on his face, so it was inconvenient to sit in the hall, so he took a month off from his boss and recuperated in the study.

Why are embroidered shoes in my house? Why? Just like Xu Hao wondered why the pendant arrived at the Tang family, the prefect thought about it for seven days and seven nights, and asked himself if he treated his subordinates well, and there was no concubine to have a room, who would be willing to harm him? Suddenly he shouted, "Yes, yes." ”

Ordering the maid to invite the lady, the prefect asked, "Where did you find the shoes?" ”

The woman pointed to the hole in the wall and said, "That's it, look at the place where you are hiding, don't say it's me, everyone can see it, and I'm so careless in picking up ashes, hum!" ”

"I'm too lazy to tell you." The prefect said angrily, and instead ordered: "Reach in and touch it to see what is going on in this hole." ”

So the family reached in, and found many things in a row, including cloth, silk, rice, and millet.

There was also a piece of paper inside, and when I opened it, I saw that it was the adulterous document that was lost the day before yesterday and was taken away by someone in the yamen.

At this point, the prefect sighed, "Such a grievance, where can I defend myself clearly?" ”

Madame was dumbfounded, and suddenly realized: "It was the rat who stole the shoes?" Oops, no wonder half of it is exposed, the front half of the daughter-in-law's embroidered shoes is pointed, the back half is wide, and there is a high bottom that prevents it from being pulled in, but unfortunately the daughter-in-law was unjustly killed. ”

As she spoke, the remorseful lady sat on the ground and wept. The matter has come to this, and the prefect has to persuade his wife with good words.

In the middle of the night, the prefect couldn't sleep over and over, he was not a confused person after all, he thought of the adultery case, and said that there were rats in the yamen of the official mansion, and there were rats in the people's homes.

The prefect is a more sincere person, the next day did not wait for the dawn, the official on duty beat the drum and ascended to the hall, knocked three times in a row, the sky was also bright, he went to the lobby, and the officials of the entire government came.

The prefect said: "Immediately bring Mu Shou Tang Sheng and other prisoners for retrial, and there is no room for delay." Go ahead. ”

Tongzhi said: "My lord, the case has been closed, why do you need to retrial? It's just a small thing, so you don't have to bother, right? ”

"How can it be!" The prefect was angry, "It's about the reputation of others, how can it be regarded as a trivial matter?" ”

Tongzhi hurriedly said: "The lower official knows that it is not a trivial matter, but once something goes wrong, won't it be bad for the reputation of the adult?" ”

The prefect sighed: "If the fault is me, since I should ask the court for punishment, how can I make a mistake?" Needless to say. ”

Soon Mu Shou and the neighbors came first. Tang Tongsheng didn't know what kind of disaster had fallen from the sky, so he came to confess with a wry smile.

I didn't want the prefect to be kind this time, and asked, "Do you all have cats at home?" ”

Both sides replied: "No." ”

The prefect asked again, "Do you have many rats in your house?" ”

The two of them then said: "There are a lot of rats, and they can often be seen, and they can't get rid of them even if they sprinkle medicine." ”

The prefect instructed: "Go and escort Tang Tongsheng home, all the rat holes in the house must be demolished, see what is inside, and bring them to me." ”

An hour later. Sent someone to bring a dustpan of bits and pieces, and the prefect taught the two sides to carefully identify them, and the result was either the Mu family or the Tang family. There was a Hetian jade fan pendant inside, which was bitten off a small half, and more than half was left.

Mu Shou said in shock: "This pendant is what I handed over to my daughter-in-law." ”

"Yes." The prefect looked ashamed, "That day, the He family said that the two pendants would be knotted together. Presumably, when he was dragged away by a mouse, he bit off the thread and fell on the book, there was such a bizarre thing. ”

turned to Tang Tongsheng, who opened his mouth wide, and said, "It's all unknown in this house." You have been burdened with many punishments, and you have been ashamed of the name of uncleanness with Ho. In this matter, the official should apply for punishment, and Zhang Bang will restore the injustice of the two of you, and compensate a sum of silver taels. ”

Tang Tongsheng said excitedly: "Adults don't need to be like this, just be able to return my innocence, you are really the master of the blue sky." ”

"What about Qingtian?" The prefect smiled bitterly, he washed away your grievances, but he accidentally took the life of his daughter-in-law, what a grievance!

Someone summoned He's, explained and apologized in the court, and asked Mu Shoudao: "People have never lost their temperament, take them home quickly, and treat her well." ”

Mu Shou smiled bitterly: "My lord, the youngest son has already married another relative, and he can't have both, so let her not marry." ”

The prefect said strangely: "Whose daughter did your family marry, why did you get married so quickly?" ”

Mu Shou also looked ashamed, Cancan didn't know how to explain, here Tang Tongsheng immediately cried and shouted: "The master didn't ask here, and Tongsheng didn't dare to avenge his grievances, and now he had to complain, he, the daughter-in-law he married, is Tongsheng's wife." ”

The prefect was very shocked and asked what was going on, and at that moment, Tang Tongsheng ignored Mu Shou's pleading gaze, and told the Lu family that he hated the poor and loved the rich, and Mu Shou married the Lu family in revenge.

When the prefect heard this, he was furious and said, "Even if he rapes your daughter-in-law, you shouldn't use such means to retaliate." That's it, now he has not committed adultery, but your son has raped his wife, it is really hateful, come here, and beat forty boards. ”

Mu Shou shouted: "My lord, my son is young, and the Lu family doesn't have a cave house, just give it back to him." ”

"They have all become relatives, and you say that you will return it? It's ridiculous. The prefect sneered, fortunately, he handled the wrong case first, and it was not good to ask Mu Shou about the crime, he waved his hand and did not let him fight, and ordered someone to bring the Lu family to come immediately, intending to return it to Tang Tongsheng, and then let the He family return to the Mu family, and everyone was happy.

When the Lu family came, the prefect asked her to raise her head, and saw that this woman had yellow hair, a short and fat body, and an ugly appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "With such a appearance, the Lu family still dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and really treats their own daughter as a treasure, and what is even more ridiculous is that the Mu family does not dislike it, in the end, it is your son who marries a daughter-in-law, not you, right?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" What else can Mu Shou say besides giggling?

The prefect thought for a while, pointed at Lu and said to Tang Tongsheng: "Look at her appearance, is it your goodness?" He pointed at He Shi and said, "You are looking at her appearance, is it the wife of the Mu family?" From this point of view, it is clear that God has mercy on you for mismatching your marriage, and deliberately borrowed a mouse to be a moon old. ”

"Haha!" The prefect touched his bare chin and said with a smile: "This government doesn't dare to disobey the heavens, so it's better to be a matchmaker today." Miss He, your parents have passed away, are you willing to obey this mansion and marry you to Tang Tongsheng? ”

Originally, He hated Tang Tong to death, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh, but the wonder of men and women is here, hate, hate, man is deeply imprinted in his heart, and he can't forget it.

Since the prefect is in charge, He agreed to answer shyly, in fact, it is not her turn to make the decision, unless she intends to die.

Tang Tongsheng also agreed, but the fool would not agree, and if he came again, he would take revenge on Mu Shou for robbing his wife.

The prefect Yu became a pair of beautiful people, very happy, and immediately took a hundred taels of silver, gave it to the He family as a dowry, and instructed the officials to blow and blow, so that the two of them worshiped heaven and earth in the public court, and achieved a beautiful conversation.

Because of this matter, the prefect reflected on himself, not only Shenwen court, but also asked for punishment and demotion of officials, and since then he has tried the case and no longer dares to use the punishment lightly.

Xu Hao sighed: "I have been to too many places, and the people talk about their parents and officials, and they all say that they are not afraid that officials are not honest, and if they can try cases well and do official things, they are better than mediocre officials, and among mediocre officials, the most feared is a stubborn person, who is too subjective in judging cases and doing things, and often does bad things with good intentions, so as to be an official, you must be modest and cautious first, and if you don't understand, you have to consult, and think twice before acting, even if your ability is not strong, you will do a good job and benefit one party."

To put it mildly, no matter how strong the ability is, no matter how good the reputation, corruption is always wrong; And what's the use of mediocre ability to do foolish things, incorruptible as water? (To be continued......)
