Chapter eight hundred and seventy-ninth marriage
In Xu Hao's opinion, the maid who dowry is the most suspicious. The lady is determined to marry a chicken and follow the chicken. How can the maid be willing to do it? It's not surprising that she has such a scheming, but she is too lucky. The development of the whole incident is perfect. It's a pity that she can't be the little master of Huanhuan with such a scheming.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Mu Qingshuang did not keep it in a silence and told the story right now.
In cases that are unfair and unfair, there are no winners except the fourth party. Whether it is Tang Tongsheng, He or Mu Shou, they all lose face, and everyone is so angry.
Mu Shou saw He leaving in a daze, gritted his teeth and was determined to take revenge. Soon, he heard that Tang Tongsheng's fiancée, Lu, had already broken off the engagement. He thought that he had played with my daughter-in-law, but I wanted my son to marry his wife. On the one hand, he would be angry to death, and on the other hand, he could speak in front of his neighbors.
Although he heard that the daughter of the Lu family was far from comparable to that of He, he was really scared by his beautiful daughter-in-law and would rather marry an ugly girl as the treasure of the family. He asked someone to marry him on the night of the verdict, and the Lu family was greedy for his status and happily agreed.
Because he was about to anger Tang Tongsheng to death, Mu Shouzhen, who was stingy by nature, took his time to do it. The day his son got married was particularly lively, with a big show, and a big show, dozens of tables of flowing tables were used to reward the neighbors. The opera troupe sang for three days and three nights, which caused half of Dali.
Tang Tongsheng hid at home to recuperate his wounds. After this incident, he was polite and wiped out the floor. He lost half of his fame and reputation, and his resentment was deeply rooted. He heard that his fiancée married his enemy, and he was furious and almost vomited blood and died.
The next door was laughing and laughing, and he was deserted there, beating his chest and stamping his feet; the next door said that when he bowed to heaven and earth and entered the bridal chamber, he sighed repeatedly here, and wanted to kill him.
However, a real man has not yet suffered a great injustice and cannot rest in peace even after he dies. Therefore, he intends to seek an opportunity to take revenge with the mentality of enduring humiliation and living a secret life.
Speaking of this, Mu Qingshuang said again: "The will of God is in the dark. Who would have thought that the prestigious presumptuous thoughts were taken seriously and the unjust case was investigated, but the result was that there was a strange thing in his family. It can be seen that there was a god three feet above his head."
Xiao Yezi asked anxiously: "What the hell is wrong?"
Mu Qingshuang said: "The prince of the prefect died of illness. His daughter-in-law was widowed at home. He has always been praised by others for his chastity. The prefect is old and has been plagued by everything. Sometimes he sleeps with his wife, and sometimes he sleeps alone in the study.
When I was in Dali, the prefect came out to worship me. His wife was idle and sat in his study. Suddenly, she found something outside the tent on the bedside, stuffed into the gap on the wall. She took it down and saw it was an embroidered shoe. His wife carefully identified it and felt that it was a daughter-in-law's house, so she hid it in her sleeve and went to the daughter-in-law's room, counted the shoes under the bed, and there happened to be a single-headed one. Take out the one in the sleeve and compare it, and it turned out to be a pair."
The previous article mentioned that the prefect was afraid of the inner silence. The wife was irritable and did not rub the sand in her eyes. She was so angry that she could not care about anything. She opened her mouth and scolded her daughter-in-law, such as a thousand lusts, and even more. She scolded her daughter-in-law so much that she was so angry.
The daughter-in-law has a clear conscience. She is not a good-looking person. In this way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight one by one, one by one.
Just as the magistrate was fighting on the storm, the magistrate went home. When he heard the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, he hurried over to persuade him. Unexpectedly, the wife was scolded by her "Old and Shameless" so she dared not retort, so she returned to the study in shame.
He called his wife in charge and asked, "For what reason?"
The wife in charge said, "The master is amazing. The shoes you hid in the crack of the study wall were discovered by the wife. She took them to the young grandma's house. After two or two, she would look like a pair. You have a story!”
"Go to your mother's east window and tell the story." The prefect cursed and was stunned by the anger. What's the point of being punished?
He didn't know how to tell the question. Who knew which dissatisfied servant hid the shoes secretly? He had to investigate slowly. After about half an hour, the maid suddenly ran in panic and shouted, "Master, grandma is hanging."
After a buzzing, the prefect suddenly became cold and ran over. On the way, he met his wife who was coming and was about to blame her for being killed. Unexpectedly, the lady went forward and grabbed his beard and pulled it down halfway.
Everyone was dead, and the prefect sighed. Because he was worried that he would ruin his moral character, he had to swallow his anger and bury his wife, not daring to speak out. However, he was so angry that he was not interested in becoming an official, and he had no beard on his face, which was inconvenient to sit in the hall, so he took a leave of absence to his superiors for a month and rested in the study.
Why are embroidered shoes in my room? Why? Just like Xu Hao wondered why the pendant came to the Tang family, the prefect thought about it for seven days and seven nights, and asked himself that he treated his servants well and had no concubines to do so. Who would have intentionally harmed him? Suddenly he shouted, "Yes, yes."
He ordered the maid to invite his wife, and 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 where you hide. Not to mention me, I can see it all. I'm so careless to peel off the ashes, hum!"
"I'm too lazy to talk to you." The prefect said angrily, and then ordered: "Touch up and touch it and see what's going on in the hole."
The family reached in and found a lot of things, including cloth, silk, rice and millet.
There was another piece of paper inside. When I opened it, I found that it was the affair that was lost the day before yesterday and was taken away by someone in the suspect.
At this point, the prefect sighed, "Where can you make a clear defense if you encounter such an unjust thing?"
The lady was stunned and suddenly said, "It was the mouse who stole the shoes? Oh, no wonder half of them were exposed. The front half of the embroidered shoes of the wife were pointed and the back half wide. In addition, there was a high bottom that could not be pulled in. Unfortunately, the wife died unjustly."
As he spoke, the lady with great regret sat on the ground and cried. Now that things have come to this point, the prefect still has to persuade his wife with kind words.
In the middle of the night, the prefect tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. After all, he was not a fool. He thought of the affair case and thought that there were rats in the government office and the people's homes. How could he know that the jade pendant was not like his wife's shoes, but was also carried by a rat?
The prefect was a serious person. The next day, before dawn, the yamen runner on duty beat the drum and went to the hall. He beat it three times in a row. It was dawn. He went to the lobby and all the officials of the government office came.
The prefect said: "Immediately bring Mu Shoutangsheng and other criminals to the review, so there is no delay. Go."
Tongzhi said: "Sir, the case has been concluded, why should we review it? It's just a trivial matter, so there's no need to worry about it, right?"
"It's outrageous!" The prefect got angry, "It's about other people's reputation, how can it be regarded as a trivial matter?"
The Tongzhi hurriedly said, "The officials know that it is not a trivial matter, but if there is a mistake, will it be a reputation for the adults?"
The prefect sighed: "If the mistake is my fault, I should report to the court for punishment. How can I make the mistake just because I am wrong? No need to say it."
Soon Mu Shou and his neighbors came first. Tang Tongsheng didn't know what disaster caused from the sky, so he came to take the blame with a wry smile.
I didn't expect that this time the prefect was kind and asked, "Do you have cats at home?"
Both sides replied: "Don't raise."
The prefect asked again: "Do you have many mice in your house?"
The two immediately said, "A lot of them can be seen, and they can't get rid of them even if they are sprinkled."
The prefect ordered: "Go and take Tang Tongsheng home. All the rat holes in the house must be removed to see what is inside and come to see me."
An hour later, I sent someone to bring a dustpan of pieces. The prefect taught both sides to carefully identify it. It turned out that it was either Mu's or Tang's. There was a Hetian jade pendant inside, and half of it was bitten away, and more than half was left.
Mu Shou said in shock: "I handed this pendant to my wife together."
"Yes." The prefect looked ashamed, "On the same day, He once said that he would tie the two pendants together. I guess when he was dragged away by a mouse, he bit off the thread and fell on the book. There was such a bizarre thing."
He turned to Tang Tongsheng who opened his mouth wide and said, "It's all unknown to me. I have suffered a lot of punishments and I have also affected you and He's name for being unclean. I am ashamed. The officials should apply for punishment for this matter and take the lead in restoring your injustice and pay a tuition to recover your two people's injustice and compensate you with a treasury of silver."
Tang Tongsheng said excitedly: "Sir, you don't need to do this. Just be able to restore my innocence. You are really the Master Qingtian."
"How can you talk about Qingtian?" The prefect smiled bitterly, washing away your grievances, but accidentally took the life of your daughter-in-law. It's so aggrieved!
He sent someone to call He, explained and apologized in the classroom, and asked Mu Shou, "I have never lost my family, so I will take it home quickly and treat her well."
Mu Shou smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, my younger son has married another marriage. I can't do both. 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 it. Tang Tongsheng immediately cried and cried, "The master didn't ask about this, Tongsheng would not dare to seek justice. Now he had to mourn him, the daughter-in-law he married was Tongsheng's wife."
The prefect was very shocked and asked what was going on. At that moment, Tang Tongsheng ignored Mu Shou's begging eyes and complained that the Lu family despised the poor and loved the rich, and Mu Shou married the Lu family in order to revenge.
The prefect heard this and said furiously, "Even if he raped your daughter-in-law, you shouldn't take revenge with such despicable means. That's fine, now he has never raped, and your son raped his first wife. It's really hateful. Come on, beat the forty-stop again."
Mu Shou shouted, "Sir, my son is young and Lu has no bridal chamber, just give it back to him."
"It's all my dear, you'll give it back if you say you're going to give it back? It's ridiculous." The prefect sneered. Fortunately, he had handled the wrong case first, and it was hard to blame Mu Shou. He waved his hand and refused to beat him. He sent someone to bring Lu's house immediately, intending to give it back to Tang Tongsheng, and then let He return to Mu's house. Everyone was very happy.
When Lu came, the prefect asked her to look up and saw that the woman had yellow hair, short and fat body, and ugly appearance. She couldn't help but smile: "The Lu family actually dislikes the poor and the rich with such a look. She really treats her daughter as a treasure. What's even more ridiculous is that the Mu family doesn't dislike it. It's your son who is married, not you, right?"
"Hey, hey!" What else can Mu Shou say besides giggling?
The prefect thought about it and pointed at Tang Tongsheng at Lu and said, "Look at her appearance, how could she be your good friend?" He pointed at He and said, "Why are you looking at her appearance, how could she be the husband and wife of the Mu family? It seems that it is clear that God pity you for your mismatched marriage and specially borrowed a mouse to be the Moonie."
"Haha!" The prefect touched his bare chin and said with a smile: "I dare not disobey God. I will be a matchmaker today. Miss He, your parents are old, are you willing to obey me and betroth you to Tang Tongsheng?"
Originally, He hated Tang Tong so much that he wanted to eat his flesh, but the wonder of men and women was here. Hate and hatred, the man was deeply imprinted in his heart, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.
Since the prefect made the decision, He agreed shyly. In fact, it was not her turn to make the decision, unless she planned to show her ambitions by dying.
Tang Tongsheng agreed, but only a fool would not agree. It would be considered as avenging Mu Shou for his wife to steal.
The prefect Yu became a perfect match. He was very happy. He immediately took 100 taels of silver and gave it to He as a dowry. He also ordered the yamen runners to make a blow, and asked the two to worship the world in the court, which made a beautiful talk.
Therefore, the prefect reflected on himself and not only submitted himself to the court, but also sought a salary and demotion from the official position. From then on, he never dared to use punishment for the case easily.
Xu Hao sighed: "I went to many places and the people talked about their parents and officials. They all said that they are not afraid of officials being unhappy. If they can examine cases and handle official affairs well, they are better than mediocre officials. Moreover, among mediocre officials, the most feared thing is a stubborn person who is too subjective in determining cases and handling affairs, and often do bad things with good intentions. Therefore, you must be humble and cautious in becoming an official. If you don't understand, you must consult and think twice before acting. Even if you are not capable, you will do a good job and benefit the people.
