The neighbors began to tacitly run on Mu Shou, and someone stepped forward and said: "You two have been neighbors for many years, it's not good to bargain, let us be an intermediary for you." ”

took the pendant, and the neighbor said: "I think the pendant in Master Mu's house is related to Mu Wangfu, and Tang Daguan naturally can't be compared, and it will be as big as a hundred taels of silver." In my opinion, it is better for Master Mu to go back and take out the family and put it in one place to compare the better, if that one is better than this, subtract a few taels; If this is better than that, then add a few taels, if the quality of the two is the same, according to the original price, there is nothing to say. ”

Tang Tongsheng said that he was chic on the surface, but he actually cared about the price of the pendant, who made people poor? It's to pretend to be embarrassed.

Mu Shou secretly complained in his heart, and said: "It was taken away by the woman's family, how can I get it back?" ”

"How can it be?" Everyone shouted, "My father-in-law and daughter-in-law are temporarily borrowing, afraid that she will not?" You just have to go in and ask for it, unless people are not at home, there is no reason not to give it to you, don't you say? ”

"What's the family's concerns, and it's not that they won't pay her back?" Immediately, many people chimed in.

While talking nonsense, he hid the jade pendant in his sleeve, making it clear that this thing could not be finished like this. Mu Shou was forced to beg for it, and pretended to say: "Then I'll go back and ask for it, and I'm willing to reply tomorrow." ”

Because the pendant was in his hand, the neighbors were not afraid that he would not be able to hide, and Tang Tongsheng, who did not know what was going on, did not ask for the pendant, and secretly looked forward to going home.

said that Mu Shou returned home angrily and said it to his wife, slamming the table angrily, annoyed and angry.

The mother-in-law said: "Maybe it's exactly the same, you wait for me to go in and take a look, you can't misunderstand your daughter-in-law." ”

When she entered her daughter-in-law's room, her mother-in-law said, "Your father-in-law wants to take a jade pendant as a model, and he plans to buy another one." Take it out. ”

He agreed, opened the jewelry box and took a look, Mo said that the Han jade had fallen, and even the Hetian jade was gone, so he hurriedly turned the house upside down, but there was no trace.

The mother-in-law was immediately furious and scolded directly: "What a prostitute, how have I always treated you?" actually did such an ugly thing, gave my family's fan pendant to my wild husband, and deliberately looked for it everywhere. Why not look next door to you? ”

He was so anxious that he had no master, and hurriedly defended: "Mother, I have never been to the next door, and the people next door have never come to our house, what can I do ugly?" ”

The mother-in-law sneered: "The man who has never cheated on him, the woman who raises the man, all of them can fly, where do you need to go through the door?" On the top of the wall, on the beams of the house. Where can't you pick it up and throw things over? ”

He Shi, who had been greatly wronged, cried loudly and choked up: "According to this, it is clear that I have some personal relationship with others." Gave away the fan pendant? Am I like that? Wronged. ”

He cried and screamed like a convulsion, and threw things hard. The mother-in-law frowned and scolded: "What are you sprinkling? Your dirty certificate has already been obtained, and you still have to be hard-mouthed? ”

In front of her subordinates, her mother-in-law told Tang Tongsheng about showing her neighbors with a pendant. swept away the dignity of the He family.

He Shi, who has an inassable mouth, is angry, and a woman like her naturally wants to seek death. Mu Shou wanted to save face and ran over to persuade his wife to be patient. Tell the maid to persuade He to keep her at night.

After a night of entanglement, the couple discussed, thinking that the daughter-in-law's parents died when she was young, and the son was like that, it was understandable that she liked the scholar next door, and this matter could not be pursued, and the daughter-in-law should be given a chance to get lost.

The next day, Mu Shou walked out of the door expressionlessly. Neighbors asked, "Is the fan pendant coming back?" ”

"Don't say it." Mu Shou shook his head, "Who knew that my daughter-in-law said that she was taken by her mother's family, and if she didn't come back for a while, she would have to live a few days." ”

The neighbors scoffed: "She has no parents, who will open her mouth?" Couldn't it be given to his brother? ”

Someone said, "Her brother knows me well, waiting for me to ask for it." With that, he got up and was about to leave.

Mu Shou hurriedly grabbed him and said, "This is my family's thing, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Everyone laughed and said: "We clearly recognized it as your family's fan pendant the day before yesterday, why did it run into the hands of Tang Daguan?" At first, he said that you were magnanimous, or that you gave him the pendant for some reason, so he tested you. I don't want you to know it. Now that you can't take it out in the house, who are you, can you not be confused? I think we are very well-cultivated people, and we are still anxious for you, and I want to find out, why did you deliberately delay yourself, don't you care about your own style? ”

Someone laughed strangely: "You usually like to criticize others the most, why is it your turn to be so kind?" ”

Mu Shou's face was pale when he was squeezed by them, and he had made up his mind to endure it blindly, worried that he would ruin his own dignity. If you are ridiculed for your dignity, your daughter-in-law will not be able to tolerate it, and if you are affected by this, can your son still marry a wife? So I just want to cover it up for a while, and order my daughter-in-law not to commit it again, to be a dumb woman and be raped, and it is rare to be confused in my hazy life.

Who would have thought that the neighbors would hold on to it, and they would be counted to such a point, and they would really be able to be kind?

Since everything was said, Mu Shou sighed and said, "It stands to reason that family ugliness should not be publicized, and since everyone said so, I can't help it." I suspect that my family's lewd woman has some collusion with the brute of the Tang family, but because there is no evidence, it is difficult to start. Now everyone testifies for me, the pendant is considered stolen goods, and I can't say that I want to sue, are you willing to testify for me and contribute? ”

When the neighbors heard this, they needless to say that they had avenged one stone, so that Mu Shou would never be able to talk about others in the future. In the final analysis, neighbors have the obligation to watch and help each other, Mu Shou has no face, and most of the others feel the same way, how can such an ugly thing not be asked? There are many people again, and there is also a psychology of joining in the fun.

The big guys applauded one after another, and they all said: "This is a gentleman, one of us who does not accompany you to the official is not a person." Hurry up and find someone to write the pleadings, this matter cannot be delayed. ”

At that moment, Mu Shou's head was hot, and he immediately found a lawyer, wrote a presentation and sent it to the government.

Under the careful governance of the three generations of the Mu family, the development of people's livelihood in Yunnan is obvious to all, and the military is also very stable. Few corrupt officials dare to do evil on the ground of the Mu family, and they don't even need Xu Hao to play any role.

Nowadays, there are five super-class princes in the Ming Dynasty, with high status, one is the Mu family who is expected to guard Yunnan for generations, one is the Song family who guards the northwest, one is the Xu family who controls Liaodong, and the other two are the Zhang family and the Zhu family located in the capital.

The relationship between the Xu family and the Mu family, the Zhang family, and the Zhu family goes without saying. It can be called the same qi and branches, sharing weal and woe, and the Xibei and Northern Song families have also become relatives with the Xu family because they married two princesses.

The prefect of Dali is a well-known Qing official, and all the people who complain to the government will never be approved to the county, and they will be personally interrogated. If you understand it, you don't have to go to the Shen Bu Political Envoy Department, after all, it is Mu Wangfu who is in charge of the army and the people. He has the right to dispose of it himself, and it is also in order to prevent the people from going through the good intentions of the two exploits.

Qing officials generally attach great importance to the ethics of the Gangchang, and this prefect is precisely an extreme, and he hates things that violate customs and customs the most. Similar adultery came into his hands, and almost none of the plaintiffs did not win, and none of the defendants did not lose to the end.

The wording of the form is very particular, and it comes from the hand of Xiucai. The average person simply can't understand it.

"Mu Shou, a man who abducted and abducted, took care of things: the beast is evil Tang Sheng, and he bullies men and young cowards. Coveting the appearance of the daughter-in-law, buying a house and neighbors, and peeping at the cave wall.

Kai's daughter-in-law hates her husband's bad appearance, fornication and adultery, and comes from the open to the dark, and the bandit is the night. Suddenly, one night this month, he swept away his clothes and played with his daughter, threw his luck through the wall, and planned to crutche. He shouted for help from his neighbors, and was injured and killed.

Nengli and others participated in the evidence, thinking about being humiliated and raped, the lover cut his teeth, killed his life, and was even more chilling, knocking on the heavens and the law, and killing adultery. Sue it! ”

After reading it, the prefect of Dali directly approved the word "quasi". Who knew that the next day, the next day the court checked the overnight submission, everything else was there, only this confession of adultery was missing, and the prefect said: "Bastard, it must have been taken away by someone from the yamen." ”

The scribe on duty was clamped and beaten, beaten and clamped, and said that he didn't know it. There was no way, the prefect ordered someone to notify Mu Shou to make up a present, and when the form was delivered, he immediately sent someone to arrest him.

Tang Tongsheng, who had fallen from the sky, was already suspicious, because he heard the noisy noise between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhao family next door, and asked the neighbor to fan the pendant, and the neighbor deliberately said that he said here and there.

I read by heart, but I didn't see it, and the pendant was unfortunately thrown in the book. Anyway, I am upright, what are you afraid of if you don't do anything wrong? Therefore, Tang Tongsheng did not file a complaint and went directly to the hearing.

People from both sides went to the government office one after another, and the prefect of Dali first summoned the plaintiff Mu Shou and asked: "Since Tang Tong raped your daughter-in-law, why didn't your son come to sue and ask you to be your father-in-law?" Could it be that you also had an affair with your daughter-in-law and bumped into an adulterer in the room, so you were jealous and came to complain? ”

Dare to love this prefect with rich imagination, and have read too many wild history novels with similar plots, the more serious the person, maybe the more behind his back.

Mu Shou, who couldn't cry or laugh, said: "The blue sky is above, and the little one is a person who is a person who pays great respects, how dare he do the thing of birds and beasts gathering deer?" Just because the son is young, although the daughter-in-law has been married, she has not visited the church, and there is a name of husband and wife, but there is no reality of a husband and wife. It's also a young dog who can't speak, so the little one came to report the crime. ”

"I see." The prefect asked again: "Then what proof does he have for raping your daughter-in-law?" Tell me the truth. ”

Mu Shou put his daughter-in-law's bedroom next door to Tang Tongsheng's study, because Tang Tongsheng deliberately read books to tease his daughter-in-law, his daughter-in-law changed rooms to avoid him, and he followed the temptation, not wanting to be hit by him after all, and then God did not allow it, because the fan pendant revealed the stolen evidence, was seen by the neighbors, turned his head to take himself, and he also said it in detail because of his previous person.

The prefect nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "Your words seem to be true. "The neighbor who called to do the testimony saw that everyone's confession was the same as Mu Shou's sentence, without the slightest suspicion, and there was that jade pendant as evidence, what else was there to suspect?

called Tang Tongsheng, and the prefect sneered: "Why did you seduce a woman from a good family and wantonly commit adultery?" And deceived her of a lot of money, trying to kidnap her and escape? Have you read all the books of your sages in the belly of a dog? (To be continued......)
