was abused by the prefect, Tang Tongsheng trembled and said, "My lord is above." Tong Sheng lost his father since he was a child, and his family was poor and had to study hard, aspire to fame, and stab the strand hanging beam at home all day long. Just because a few days ago, for some reason, he picked up a jade pendant on the bookshelf, hung it on the fan, and was seen by the neighbors, saying that it was the Mu family's thing, so the plaintiff ran to sue without checking the truth.

This jade pendant is his, not his, and Tong Sheng doesn't know, but Tong Sheng dares to swear to the sky that there will be no trace of adultery with his daughter-in-law. ”

The prefect was accustomed to seeing people who shouted grievances, and said indifferently: "Then you have no adultery with her, did the jade pendant fly to your house?" Just a child has no merit and fame to protect his body, and the official does not use the torture equipment, so you naturally refuse to confess. Come on, clip it up! ”

The officials stepped forward and threw away the clamping stick, took off Tang Tongsheng's shoes and socks, put a pair of white tender legs between the two pieces of wood, and tightened them hard, and saw Tang Tongsheng immediately scream and faint.

After a while, Tang Tongsheng slowly woke up. The prefect asked, "Do you want to recruit you?" ”

The miserable Tang Tongsheng lay on the ground, crying and saying with a sad face: "There is no adultery, what tricks do I have?" ”

The prefect then sneered, and hit a hundred boards, and the boards crackled on the buttocks, the taste was unimaginable, Tang Tongsheng was a poor scholar who had no power to restrain the chicken, and he couldn't bear it after a few strokes, so he had to shout: "Little wish." ”

As soon as the officials stopped, he fainted again, and when he woke up, Tang Tongsheng sighed: "The daughter-in-law of the Mu family is really worried about me, this jade pendant was thrown by her, and the villain guards himself with etiquette and law, and will never dare to rape her." If you don't believe, just question the woman. ”

The prefect groaned for a moment and ordered He to be summoned to the court. Generally speaking, the government has an unwritten standard of measurement, and it is also the experience inherited over many years. When interrogating adultery cases, you must first look at the woman's appearance, if she is ugly, it is enough, do you need to ask if she is good-looking? The red face is the source of right and wrong.

Soon He walked in and knelt down, less than thirty meters away, walked for a long time, because of timidity and fear, and she was as light as a swallow, walking and swaying as if there were no bones, a weak state blown by the wind. Without waiting for interrogation, Yiran first sketched a picture of a beauty.

The prefect ordered her to raise her head, only to see He's eyebrows picturesque, autumn waves dripping, shy face like snow, reflecting a little blood-like red lips, really the redder the red, the whiter the whiter.

The prefect smiled first, and then asked angrily, "Look at your appearance." It's a prostitution. When you came to hear the trial today, you still smeared powder on your face and put rouge on your mouth, and twisted and pinched it in front of this house. Then the usual evil deeds can be known regardless of asking, and the adultery must be true. ”

This is where information is underdeveloped, it turns out that this prefect has been taught very strictly since he was a child. My personality is also too conservative, and I have hardly been to Fengyue occasions in the past ten years, and I haven't seen many women. Especially beautiful beauties, how can they be sullen and secretly rely on novels to be obscene?

Another honest man married his cousin, his wife looked general but had a very short temper, he had always been afraid of guilt, let alone taking concubines, and there was not even a beautiful female cat at home.

Therefore, the prefect took it for granted that women in the world should apply fat powder, so that the skin can become white and smooth, and the rouge will be red, and the twisting will be graceful.

The prefect scolded indiscriminately, and said: "You are so good that you can tell Tang Tong that you are raped, so that the official can use torture tools." ”

He cried with a look of grievance: "The little woman has no adultery with him, where does the slave family start?" ”

The prefect was ruthless and ordered to be executed, and the official straightened He's slender hand, and the pitiful green ten fingers were clamped hard in the pen tube, and it hurt to death, but it was a beauty, and the miserable situation looked like it was crying tactfully, and even a cadre of officials couldn't bear to look at it, and I couldn't wait to beat away the adults with a stick and save this little beauty of the watery poplar, you know!

The prefect asked: "He just said that the jade pendant was thrown by you with the intention of luring, and he is blaming you, why are you still hiding it for him?" ”

He Shi's face was no longer bloody, it was even more white and tender, and he cried to Tang Tongsheng: "The emperor is above, how can I ever throw a jade pendant with you?" I used to live in the back room, and you were reading next door and seducing; I moved to the front to avoid you, and you followed behind. Just because you came and went, my in-laws became suspicious of me, so I was trapped here. If you don't complain, you'll just be wronged! After saying that, he cried bitterly.

The prefect watched coldly, and the words on both sides of his heart gradually closed, thinking that such a chic and handsome scholar, and such a delicate woman, separated by a wall, dry firewood, and a talented and beautiful woman, how could something not happen? Now she should call her husband to see what he looks like, if he looks like Tang Tongsheng, it will take a lot of scrutiny; If it is a mediocre appearance, the natural disadvantages are obvious.

At the moment, he ordered: "And put Tang Sheng in prison, bring Mu Shou's son tomorrow, and then make a first trial, and the case will be decided." ”

Tang Tongsheng, who was so injured, was put in prison, the jailer asked for money, the injury needed medical treatment, and he had to send food for recuperation, what should I do if I have no money? I can only beg the forbidden son to ask my future father-in-law to borrow money.

Unfortunately, the father-in-law has long had a heart of repentance, at this time the Yunnan people can be said to be rare, and there are few people who are admitted to the show, and the times are different, if the poor show is not diligent and the grains are not divided, it is far less than the hard-working and rich people, and it is not as good as doing business and opening a workshop, it is better to go to the new school to have a good life, nothing more than a decent and cash-strapped squire for a lifetime.

Now that he has made such a scandal, even if he is innocent, his reputation will be ruined by half, and the university will inevitably ban him from taking exams in one or two worlds, and his future is basically gone.

Therefore, he replied very simply: "If he didn't borrow money, if he is willing to withdraw from his relatives, he is willing to return the financial gifts." ”

At this time, Tang Tongsheng's life was at stake, and he couldn't take care of anything else, so he had to write a divorce document, and the central people sent it, so he exchanged some silver to save his life.

The prefect was busy receiving Mu Qingshuang's arrival, and he did not ascend to the hall for several days, and even finished his official business and summoned Mu Shou's son.

Don't say anything when you see it, the book office with good things makes "Xijiang Yue" to ridicule: the face is like faded black paint, and the hair is like a gold thread. Fatty muny eyes in the nose. The face is covered with moles. The inferior looks are as good as they are, but who knows that there are even more slight flaws. There are good flower branches in the pupil, and the official is squinted with his eyes open.

The self-righteous prefect shook his head, not to mention a woman with such a appearance, even a man frowned when he saw it, and he had to empathize with him, and asked a few words, but he couldn't answer a word, and he knew that it was a fool.

"Don't talk about it." The prefect called Tang Tongsheng up and said, "Are you recruiting now?" ”

How did Tang Tongsheng recruit? After a few days of recuperation, the injury has improved. I don't want to change my words. The prefect didn't say a word, but ordered: "Clip! ”

Now Tang Tongsheng is out of line, how powerful the government's clamp stick is, people in later generations may not know, but in ancient times, the one who can survive the first time is the recognized iron man.

Moreover, Tang Tongsheng's leg bone has been injured, and he can't help it anymore, otherwise he will have to be disabled. In despair, he simply shouted: "Don't clip it, I'll just do it, the villain's adultery with the He family is true, and the jade pendant is the watch she gave me." The small family is poor and can't keep it. took it out and sold it, and was recognized, and what it was recruited was true. ”

The prefect said with satisfaction: "Put away the clamping stick and beat the twenty boards as punishment." ”

called Mu Shou up like this. asked: "The adulterous trial is true, so do you still want her to be your daughter-in-law?" ”

Mu Shou smiled bitterly: "There are decent people below, how can you keep a woman who is out of moderation?" I would like to let my son write a letter of resignation. ”

So the prefect put pen to paper and wrote down the verdict. The order was posted outside: Tang Sheng and Mu Shou lived next to each other. Mu Shou's daughter-in-law, He's, has been a husband for several years, although she has been given a peach and died, she has not been married.

Tang Sheng's study, separated from He's couch by a wall, complained about each other, and then became an adulterer. He took the jade pendant as a gift, and Tang was poor and sold it, which was obtained by the public and spread from one to another.

Mu Shou's voice of shame and Meng's wall is controlled. According to Sheng's confession, everything is true. Stealing virgins, what are you going to say? Because of the affiliation and adultery, let's take it lightly. He was defiled, and it was difficult to match his beloved, so he should be sent back.

Mu Shou's family is not strict, and the thin cane is an example.

Mu Shou was beaten with a symbolic ten boards, and at the end of the day, the advantage of scholars in ancient times was revealed, and it was enough to be beaten hard, and the prestige of the Mu family also worked, otherwise, if it was replaced by civilians who were not scholars, the exile officials would not be allowed to parade around for the time being.

The boat moved leisurely in the canal, and unconsciously it rained lightly, and the whole Jiaxing was shrouded in the dreamlike rain and fog in the south of the Yangtze River.

After listening to Mu Qingshuang's words, Ye Qin and Lin Daojing were silent, quietly looking into the distance and thinking.

Once upon a time, such a thing was considered fair, no matter whether He and Tang Tongsheng had an adulterous affair, but it was wrong to be a melon and a plum, especially for women, whether you actively or passively attracted a man, it was yours or not, and even the women themselves recognized this truth.

It's different now, at least Lin Daojing and Xiao Yezi no longer approve of obeying the orders of their elders, so they should marry willingly, even if they marry a man who is as stupid as a pig, they have to guard their husbands wholeheartedly.

For Xu Hao, is this an advocate of feminism? Obviously, it's not counted, it's the same for men, you can marry whatever kind of daughter-in-law your parents order you to marry? Even if you don't have any opinions and are willing to respect your parents, then what if your future wife is Sister Feng, who plans to run for president of the United States?

So whether this matter is right or wrong, just because He wants to marry such a husband has already made the second daughter feel unworthy.

Lin Daojing said first: "I think it's good to be separated after this incident, even if the name is gone, what can I do?" Instead of wronging yourself all your life, it is better to be comfortable in a lonely life, even if you starve to death. ”

Xiao Yezi asked: "According to Erniang's story, obviously there is nothing to do with each other, could it be that the pendant was deliberately thrown by the He family?" Just to get rid of her husband's family? ”

Mu Qingshuang, who said this sentence Erniang, was overjoyed, hugged her and said with a smile: "You are our family, if it is our family, you don't have to guess who is behind the scenes, and only you girls will be so bold, then He is honest and obedient, it shouldn't be." ”

Xu Hao smiled at this, he can really do such a thing, and said: "There must be a follow-up to this matter, there are many similar things in the world, and it is impossible for you to tell us about an ordinary unjust case." As Dao Jing said, it is also a blessing in disguise for the He family to go home with this, with her character and appearance, and in Yunnan, where the conservative atmosphere is not strong, it is not difficult to marry a son of a good family in a few years. ”

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Yezi was very happy for He's family, "Instead of guarding a disgusting man with brocade clothes and jade food, it is better to live with a normal husband for the rest of your life." Although I wronged the son, I think I should sympathize with the woman more, his family is rich and decent, and he can have a daughter-in-law? ”

Mu Qingshuang said: "Naturally, it is indispensable, listen to me and tell me, the ending of the custody will surprise you." ”

Listening to the following, the three of them were all interested, and they all wanted to know what was going on next. Xiao Yezi also said innocently: "If only Tang Tongsheng could marry the He family home regardless of a qiē, it can be regarded as a fake." It's a pity for today's readers, alas! Absolutely impossible. ”

Lin Daojing said: "The two of them hate each other, and they just don't retaliate against each other in the future." I'm just wondering, what the hell is going on with that pendant? ”

Xu Hao also said: "Yes, who threw the pendant over?" Is it a girl to marry? (To be continued......)
