Remember to me and read the article -xue -lou Building! A few days later, the male and female defendants Zhu Aniu and He Cuihua and others were both told to the Nishishiya office and the weathering case was in the flower hall. As usual, they were interrogated in the flower hall. There was no need to wear public uniforms when they asked the officials. Charcoal braziers were lit up at four corners of the hall, and spring came into the room. They held a hookah and went out of the West Flower Hall. They greeted the jury's jury's jury, Peng Yulin, Li Ciming of Tianjin Prefecture, and several magistrates of Qinghe County. After sitting down, they ordered, "Take He Cuihua.*.*."

Taking He Cuihua with her, Li Hongzhang looked discouraged and his voice was trembling when he replied. He knew that she was robbing the momentum of the Niushiya Office, so he deliberately restrained his voice and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't be punished. I ask you, Zhu Aniu robbed you, why are you willing to live with him for the rest of your life?"

"Lord Qingtian knows that the little woman has married Zhu Aniu. She is not worthy of two saddles, and one woman does not care about her husband. The little woman has to marry a chicken and a dog and a dog."

"According to the Qing Dynasty's laws, this is not allowed. You must abide by the king's law and still marry Li Aniu."

"Lord Qingtian is here, and the little woman has reported it back. One woman doesn't care for her husband. The little woman thinks, the king is nothing but human nature. Although the little woman has never read a book, she knows the word chastity. If the adult must call the little woman absent from her pride, then there is no other way, there is only a dead end."

Li Hongzhang smiled, "You don't have to scare me with death." His face turned up, "You really want to die, it's a pity that you died too late! When Zhu Aniu robbed you, your husband was Li Aniu, Zhu Aniu was a robber. The robber forced the robber to commit suicide than to live. The local officials will commend you, create a chastity arch, and force the robber to commit the robber to pay your life. It's a pity that you didn't die at that time, and let the robber occupy your body. The robber only had the crime of traitor, and there was no death. How could this be considered a marriage?"

He Cuihua is also very powerful. Under such a reproach, she can even think of a word from the debate, "No matter what Lord Qingtian said, the little woman is determined to keep her chastity and will never lose her chastity."

"You have lost your rituals, so where can you keep them? If you only keep the rituals of adulterers and do not keep the rituals of your husband, then it is worse than that of pigs and dogs. Even if you die, everyone will despise them."

At this time, He Cuihua had no words to tell, but she could see from her face and was not convinced. Li Hongzhang thought to himself that he had to stimulate her; he had to admit defeat in his heart and then enlighten him so that he could hear the words. At the same time, he remembered the warning that someone said she was strong and wanted to see if this was true? Therefore, he ordered to open He Cuihua's handcuffs and see how she acted.

At this time, the person in the flower hall heard the reporter from Peng Yulin; the plaintiffs of this case, Li Aniu and He Bencun, had also arrived in Tianjin. Peng Yulin nodded and said to Li Hongzhang, "The plaintiffs in the case have arrived; if you ask Lord Zongxian, will they come to the court?"

Li Hongzhang naturally agreed, turned around and asked He Cuihua, "It is said that you are strong-willed. When you were in court in Qinghe County, you were carrying poison. At this moment, I handcuffed you. What poison do you carry? Take it out and I will take it out and see?"

Where could He Cuihua take it out? Even if it really exists, it was searched by the official media. "The little woman doesn't have it;;;;;;;;" she stammered, "There is no poison."

"I don't think you will have it either. I don't expect you to seek death. If you are willing to die, Zhu Aniu will rob you and dare not force you, and you will not be able to become a traitor even if you force you."

He raised his voice and said, "If you died at that time, you could avenge Zhu Aniu and win the reputation of everyone respect. This death is really as heavy as Mount Tai. If you refused to die at that time, then there is no need to say whether you will die or not. Do you think about it?"

He Cuihua suddenly lost her support after hearing this. This thought of death spread across her heart. It was a step back to seek self-examination. Only then did she realize that even if she really died, she would not be a name for herself. She had no way out. For a moment, she was regretful and ashamed in her heart. She felt like she had a five-flavor bottle overturned. I don’t know what it felt. She fell on the cold brick floor and cried sadly.

The yamen runner wanted to stop him, Li Hongzhang waved his hand and signaled that there was no need. When she vented her indescribable complex emotions from her tears, she spoke again, "He Cuihua, your crying shows that you still have shame. You should follow the judgment of the government and reunite with my husband Li Aniu, neighbors, relatives and friends, pity your experience, forgive your weak women, and lose their integrity out of helplessness. It is not that you betray me if you beg for the wealth of the Zhu family and betray me. You are a very smart person. Can't even understand this principle?"

"The Master Qingtian clearly understands thousands of miles. People need face and trees need bark. The little woman has no face to see Li Aniu again, and Li Aniu may not recognize the little woman.

"What if Li Aniu is willing to be a married couple with you?"

He Cuihua didn't answer, but just cried. Li Hongzhang knew that she was willing, so he immediately ordered the official media to take He Cuihua down, and then ordered someone to bring Li Aniu to ask questions. Taking this opportunity, he looked at Li Aniu's initial complaint. "Li Aniu," brought the plaintiff with him. Li Hongzhang asked, "You only sued Zhu Aniu and snatched your wife and asked the government to preside over justice for you. I ask you, what should be considered fair?"

"When I say to you, Zhu Aniu robbed a good woman in Qingtian and Bai Sun, and was a robber. Please ask him to punish him for his crime.

"What about He Cuihua? What do you think should I do?"

"The villain;;;;;;" Li Aniu stuttered, "The villain doesn't know either."

"Why don't you say you don't know? Isn't He Cuihua your wife? You don't plan to ask her?"

"The villain dares not ask?"

"Why?"

"The villain is now working as a long-term worker for others, eating a bite of bitter food, filling his stomach, and not being able to afford He Cuihua.

"Okay! It's great to be honest." Li Zhang nodded in praise, "But I have to ask clearly, what you mean is that as long as you can afford He Cuihua, are you still willing to be husband and wife with her?"

"yes."

"You won't hate her?"

"The villain doesn't know what he dislikes her."

"I think she is no longer a girl."

This time, Li Aniu was not in a hurry to answer, and pondered for a while before saying, "Since you are going to be a couple, the villain thinks she is useless."

"What you mean is that if you dislike her, you are unwilling to be a couple with her?"

"yes."

"Okay, let me ask you again, Zhu Aniu robbed the bride because your father-in-law agreed to He Cuihua to him. Do you think your father-in-law did something wrong and you have no responsibility at all?"

"You can't blame him completely, the villain has something wrong."

"Where are you wrong?"

"The villain is a gambler who is harmful. He shouldn't have lost the bet. He mortgaged the He family's field to Zhu Aniu."

"Then; if;;;;;;;" Li Hongzhang looked through the file and saw clearly that the old man He was named He Bencun, and then asked, "If He Bencun is still willing to hire you as a son-in-law; would you like to change your mind and become a new person, and do your duty as a son-in-law?"

"The villain wants to."

"Is it the words in your heart?"

"The villain dares not deceive the adults."

"Okay, take him down," Li Hongzhang ordered, "bring He Bencun!"

He Bencun is an honest rural farmer, but he has no knowledge. He only made a fool of himself to agree to Zhu Aniu's robbery. The father and daughter met just now, and they had already cried bitterly. They knew that Lord Zongxian would change his original judgment and break up, and they also had the plan to take his daughter home. However, when they took her back, they still hired Li Aniu or betrothed his daughter to others, but they were confused. Because of this confusion, they entered the hall and were stunned and answered questions that were not right, and even others were anxious for him.

Seeing that he had such virtue, Li Hongzhang stopped asking more questions, and asked him to kneel aside and brought the defendant Zhu Aniu up. Zhu Aniu used money in Qinghe County, so the county's servants were very familiar with him. The situation of the interview in the Flower Hall was constantly reported, and he knew that the lawsuit was going to be defeated; if he couldn't lose this lawsuit, his life would be lost, so his face was as gray as if he was dead, and people were trembling; their teeth were clattering.

Li Hongzhang is so smart that he knew that Zhu Aniu had already been guilty of his crime at first glance. This can save a lot of energy. You might as well make a straightforward judgment, but you don’t have to force him to tell him the great relationship; let him choose it himself. So he asked about his name and history, and the first sentence was, “Zhu Aniu, do you know, are you committing a death sentence?”

After hearing this, Zhu Aniu shook even harder and stammered four words, "Sir, please spare me!"

"According to the Qing Dynasty's laws, those who robbed good women in the daytime died! I thought that you were ignorant, and I would not quote this law, but only ask about the crime of your traitor. Do you accept it?"

"Pret, take. The villain's suit."

"The crime of being raped and punished, and the punishment of being beaten is fifty-year, and the shackle is given to our county for execution."

"Yes!" The magistrate of Qinghe County hurriedly got up and agreed loudly.

"You are fined to pay your dowry for fifty taels of silver, and return the more than ten acres of land that Li Aniu mortgaged to you to He Bencun. As Li Aniu's shameless gift, are you willing?"

Zhu Aniu was relieved of death because he was more conscious and the punishment was very large, which made him feel distressed. But if he said he was unwilling, he would be punished according to the law, which would be a death sentence. When he thought of this, he agreed repeatedly, "I am willing to punish him."

Since he was willing, the matter was simple. He was ready to settle the matter and fill in the reasons and fines. After reading it to him, he stamped his handprint and then the case was closed.

Li Hongzhang asked someone to take Zhu Aniu away, and then brought He Bencun and his daughter and Li Aniu to listen to the verdict. "He Bencun, have you heard clearly about Zhu Aniu being tried just now?"

He Bencun felt relieved when he heard that Zhu Aniu could avoid death. When he heard Zhu Aniu return the field as Li Aniu's shameless gift, he knew that his daughter was still the wife of the Li family. His mind was very calm, as if he had changed his own person, and he was no longer stupid. "When it comes to Master Qingtian, the villain has heard Zhu Aniu's words clearly. Lord Qingtian is the reborn parents of the villain's family." As he said that, he touched his head.

At this point of interrogation, only one person was left to deal with it. Li Hongzhang thought: He Cuihua must have known in advance that Zhu Aniu would use the means of robbing her bride. Since she had nothing to say, even if she had accomplished her things silently, it would be enough to prove that she really had the desire to despise the poor and love the rich. Looking at Zhu Aniu, Zhu Aniu is more decent than Li Aniu, or she would throw all her heart into Zhu Aniu, and it just happened to achieve her wish to remarry with the reason why a good woman did not serve her second husband. According to the Qing Dynasty, she could only break her separation from her adulterer, but could not force her to marry her husband. If she could not marry Zhu and was really unwilling to marry Li in her heart, it would become a housework that could not be done with the king and the clean officials could not break.

Originally, the government could ignore it, and just instructing He Cuihua to take it back can be considered a successful conclusion, but Li Hongzhang believed that to correct bad customs, a very satisfactory ending must be achieved.

If Li Aniu and He Cuihua cannot get married, causing a couple of unlucky husbands and wives, some people will still think that robbing a bride should not be betrayed. Then, not only will it not correct bad customs, but it is like this case providing an example of the wrong law. Wouldn't it be a mediocre person disturbing themselves?

Thinking of this, Li Hongzhang felt alert. He Cuihua might have to spend a lot of time. If the words were stiff when asked about her in the classroom, there was no room for maneuver, so he decided to take a roundabout way, "He Bencun," he asked; "What should you do after you take your daughter back?"

"The youngest still married her to Li Aniu."

"Where is your daughter? Ask her, do you want it?"

"The little woman doesn't want to." Before her father asked, He Cuihua replied, "Since the Qing Dynasty's laws did not allow the little woman to die together, the little woman had to go back to her parents' home to keep her rituals and become a sister-in-law in the future."

"Don't be confused;" Li Hongzhang said, "Who are you keeping your rituals for? Go and inquire. If you never marry for the rest of your life, your hair will be white, and the government will not be able to invite you to the royal family."

This time, He Cuihua was refuted again, but she was unwilling to let go and say that she was willing to marry Li Aniu. Li Hongzhang still started with her father, "He Bencun; take your daughter down and enlighten her, and be a widow at a young age; will life be better? You ask her, how can you marry Li Aniu?"

He Bencun is not only clear at this moment, but also has good fortune in his heart and is quite good at dealing with things. He thought to himself that his daughter is a clever word for giving birth. If he wants to enlighten her, he really doesn't have the ability. It's better to explain it clearly in front of the Governor; his daughter has been uniformed by this high official.

She would never dare to be foolish. Thinking of this, Fang Shi said, "Lord Qingtian is above, the villain is in front of the adults; I'll ask my daughter.

He turned to his daughter and said, "Cuihua, you heard what the lord said. This lord is a living Bodhisattva. Don't be ungrateful."

"Dad knows A Niu's temper," He Cuihua answered her father, "I don't have to let him look down on me for the rest of his life."

"If this is the case, I won't let you marry him, I don't think he will."

Li Hongzhang asked from the above, "You say something to He Cuihua yourself, will you look down on her after getting married in the future?"

"No, it's not her fault."

"He Cuihua, did you hear it? What are your conditions?"

He Cuihua blinked and changed her name to "Little Woman," she said, "The little woman is not remarried, Li Aniu wants to use a sedan chair to carry the little woman."

"Of course, I promised you on behalf of Li Aniu, what else do you have?"

He Cuihua had nothing to say, but just kowtowed respectfully. Everyone could see that he was not only convinced, but also convinced. He Bencun and Li Aniu respectfully expressed their sincere gratitude like her.

Although Peng Yulin was a jury, he never spoke. After listening with concentration, he stood up and bowed deeply, "My dearest and similar to Lu Pinghu, he is humble and respectful to receive teachings!"

Lu Pinghu refers to Lu Longqi, a famous Neo-Confucian minister of the Kangxi Dynasty. He was the descendant of Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei commander of the Shizong Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. Lu Bing was listed as a "loyal honor in "History of Ming Dynasty". However, his descendants who settled in Pinghu, Zhejiang Province, studied and passed on their families, advocated Neo-Confucianism, and were mostly true Taoism that did not deceive the secret room and practiced it. Lu Longqi was one of the best.

Li Hongzhang was well-read for poetry and books, so he naturally knew about it. He was very kind to Peng Yulin.

Although this kind of sue is a trivial matter, Li Hongzhang was meticulous in advance, decisive and quick in the moment, and carefully examined it afterwards, and completely unsatisfied with his own efforts, which was the best way to satisfy the emperor's spleen and stomach, so he raised it up when he was chatting with Sushun.

Su Shun was a little confused, but this would not be hindered. He smiled and touched his head, saying, "Li Hongzhang was originally a minor official in the General Administration, so he did not like Qingliu. Only the emperor picked up the person and pulled him into the mud path, and he had great trust. Now he is appointed by the governor. According to the slave, the emperor's wisdom of knowing people is really rare!"

The emperor's few words to him were scratched and laughed proudly, "Well, what you said is not bad. Li Hongzhang led the troops to Japan first and organized the civil affairs of the province behind. Such an operator must be rewarded. He wrote an order to revise all his punishments. He still gave him a yellow jacket, a double dragon regiment uniform, and a three-eyed peach feather."
