Chapter 406: Clever Scheme
couldn't think of the best of both worlds for a while, Zhu Ying gritted his teeth, simply didn't want to, just did what Mrs. Meng said in the letter, anyway, this is according to the law of the Great Zhou, impartial and uncandid, no one can say anything, and no one can give any hint to the officials, it is the will of heaven that Meng Shen can't hold on.
No one can say anything if they kill Meng Shen, even if someone wants to find trouble with him, at most, this official is not appropriate, whoever loves to be should go, even if he works hard every day to solve the case and maintain the peace of one party, he still has to deal with these powerful people, and he will not be able to favor anyone, neutrality is equal to two sides are not people.
However, when I found Meng Shen and asked privately, I was in trouble.
This Meng Shen is actually a showman, with a meritorious reputation, and the punishment will be halved according to the law, but it doesn't matter, fifty boards are not something ordinary people can bear.
Since Meng Shen is a showman, and he is ready to sue, he will not listen to people's persuasion.
Although he may have known in advance that he was going to play fifty boards, when Zhu Ying clearly told him about this, Meng Shen's face still flashed with obvious fear.
Zhu Ying caught this expression of his, and his brain moved.
Before accepting the complaint, he pretended to be kind and asked the official to lead Meng Shen to see a splash who was sentenced to 20 boards for stealing and accepted punishment.
Meng Shen went to the lobby, and this kind of punishment was beaten in front of the people, in order to deter those who had evil intentions, and he was beaten with his pants down, bare-assed, without any possibility of doing anything wrong.
The board hit the flesh, the sound of snapping, not very loud, but it was scary to listen to, only three boards down, the splashed ass oozing blood, the first three boards.
After the execution, an old servant said to a younger man: "Yes, that's it.
The little servant nodded, "I know, I don't know who the next one is, try to go down this time and see if I can get lame.
The speaker had no intention, the listener had a heart, and Meng Shen was even more frightened.
The common people hate unfilial people, and if he goes to court, these officials will have multiple hands before they have multiple hands.
When I think about it, I am even more timid.
Back in the back hall, when Zhu Ying asked him again, if he really decided to sue, if he decided to sue, he had to hit the board in the court, and after the board was played, the government would accept the case, and in the process of fighting, he had to get through, if he couldn't get through it, he shouted for mercy and withdrew the case halfway, and he had to give up all his efforts, and he had nothing to say about being killed.
Meng Shen was frightened, his expression hesitated, and there was no blood on his face.
Zhu Ying even pretended to be a persuasion, saying that it was a big deal for the son to sue his father, and he had to think clearly about the consequences, once the complaint was really handed over, there was no possibility of turning back.
The son sued his father, the first step is to make his fame to fifty boards, and then it will be a cloth cloth, it is better to sue it, if there is no evidence, he is a common man, that is, he falsely accuses the court officials, he has to deserve it, such a crime, the army is afraid that you will rebel in battle, and you can only go to the salt field or the mine to do hard labor.
Meng Shen was even more frightened, shrunk his body, said he was thinking about it, and then ran away.
Zhu Ying shook his head, sighed, and then instructed the officials to close the door of the government, no matter what happened, don't meddle in things.
As soon as Meng Shen left the gate of the palace, several stout men immediately rushed up and tied him up.
He hurriedly struggled and shouted, at the gate of the palace, there were many people, and suddenly there was a lot of unevenness on the road, and seeing this evil slave binding the complainant at the door of the government, he immediately surrounded him to help.
At this time, a woman dressed in half-worn coarse cloth clothes with a somewhat disheveled bun rushed forward and said to Meng Shen: "What about the money, where did you get the money in the family?"
Meng Shen's power was tightly tied, and then he saw his wife Mi rushing up, and he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so he hurriedly said: "Lady, you quickly find someone to let me go first."
Mi stepped forward and scratched Meng Shen with his sharp nails, and shouted: "There is no rice in the pot at home, where have you been these days?"
Meng Shen was arrested, and the bad habits cultivated in the countryside were revealed, and then he saw clearly that the men who tied him up were all the way with Mi's, and scolded: "What are you doing stupid mother-in-law? Where can you starve you? If you don't let go of me quickly, get back to me, don't shout if you don't know anything."
Mi Shi was like a country shrew, grabbing Meng Shen and scolding, making Meng Shen's head big, and he was dizzy and said: "You let people take advantage of it, the old man is coaxing you."
Mi smacked him: "You still said, if it weren't for my poor father and mother, I would have slept on the street with a group of children, and you still have the face to say?"
"You stupid woman, they ......" Meng Shen had just said half a sentence, and a man next to him was quick-eyed, so he stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth, so that he could no longer speak, and then a Upeng carriage drove over, and as soon as the two men raised their hands, they easily threw Meng Shen into the carriage.
After that, a man handed over to the other party to help the people: "It's a good thing for everyone to speak up, but this is a matter between husband and wife, I think everyone should not interfere in the quarrel between in-laws, it's nothing good. [,!] Look, it's all gone."
It can be determined in those few words that Mi and Meng Shen are indeed husband and wife, and the onlookers suddenly had nothing to say, how can it be the turn of outsiders to interfere in the affairs between husband and wife, if it is a woman who is tied up, you can also help say a few words, and the mother-in-law will not sell her husband, right?
These men must be the brothers of this woman's mother's family, and they are not unreasonable when they look at them, so they boldly step forward and provoke others, and they have nowhere to cry out if they suffer losses.
Most of the onlookers flinched.
But there was still a man who looked like a scholar and said, "Even if you are a husband and wife, you woman can't lead someone to tie up your man, how can a woman do this?"
Mi sneered and scolded: "Where did you come from, poor scholar, get out of the way and be nosy."
The scholar shook his head, his voice was not hurried, but his tone was a little high: "Lang Lang Qiankun, how can you be so rude as a woman? Is there any woman's virtue? Your man has just come out of the yamen, shouldn't he be ......?"
"Bah!" Mi spit a mouthful of thick phlegm into the scholar's face, and scolded. When you're full, you have nothing to do, don't you? There is a stepmother at the end of the street who wants to sell her stepdaughter to the Qinglou, why don't you see you poor and sour, and go to speak up? When the old lady is so bullying, dare to say a word again, see that the old lady doesn't tear up your poor sour mouth."
The man who explained to everyone before said: "This brother, you don't know anything, I still don't say a word about the two of them, and I won't tell you anything, this man is a bad gambler, and all his family wealth has been lost.
This man said reasonably, and everyone persuaded the scholar to stop meddling in his affairs. If you really want to fight injustice, as Mi said, there are many injustices on the street, selling children and daughters, and forcing good people to become prostitutes, why don't you go to that place to uphold justice? What kind of man is it to be embarrassed by a woman?
Just when the scholar was being stopped, Mi had already jumped into the carriage, and the group of people left in such a hurry.
The movement outside was soon reported to Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying shook his head again, he couldn't imagine that the Meng family could come up with such a trick, and he didn't know who was behind it, I heard that this Meng Fu Ren was quite shrewd, it should be her handwriting, judging from his experience in judging cases, this is definitely an idea that only women can come up with, and the scholar and even other onlookers are instructed.
But after all, the main envoy doesn't want to show his face, and I don't know how many people from the Meng family are around, Meng has also been a general, and there must be a lot of brave men under him, unless the main messenger shows his identity, it will be difficult to take advantage.
If the identity is revealed, the two face each other, Meng is also Meng Shen's biological father, no matter how high the other party's status is, he can't take much advantage, and he will be accused of malicious instigation, making trouble in front of the emperor, when the prince was ordered to inspect the border pass, he operated on the mother's house of Princess Ding, who had a big belly, and the purpose was too obvious, and it became unreasonable.
Therefore, the main messenger is mostly looking for some good hands to disguise themselves as uneven people or even scoundrels, provoking troubled waters, but the Meng family chess is high, and Meng Shen's daughter-in-law is pulled out to take the lead, which has become a dispute between husband and wife, and has taken the lead at the beginning, and the drama of wanting to fight unevenness cannot be staged, there are many onlookers, and the ruffians can't please it, so they can only watch the Meng family take Meng Shen back.
As soon as Meng Shen goes back, it is estimated that it will be difficult to come out, and no one can say anything to Lao Tzu to his son, even if he is killed.
Meng Shen is just a chess piece, you can find another one at any time, such as the brother-in-law of the former Mrs. Meng's mother's family, the second uncle, the little nephew, etc., just pull one out, and you can be a complainant again.
But he, I don't know how long this matter has been entangled in.
Zhu Ying was a little upset, and began to think about whether to call himself sick and hide, not to mention that this matter is tricky at the moment, there is no point at all, he doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
……
Mongfu
After Meng Shen was arrested, he wanted to interrogate him properly, but he was persuaded by Mrs. Meng, saying that the death of Meng Shen was not a hard bone, and he could be frightened by dozens of boards, so it was strange that people could let him know any useful information?
So simply don't ask or check, so as to respond to all changes.
At present, the important thing is to be optimistic about Meng Shen, don't let him run out, the others can be delayed, lest anything happen to Meng Shen, and cause a lot of right and wrong, after all, he and Mi Shi are husband and wife, if you really want to kill him, Mi Shi is crazy, and it is difficult to clean up, so let's coax it first.
Meng also felt that Mrs. Meng had a point.
He especially admired Mrs. Meng's hand, and his original plan was to find a few good skills and drag this rebel back, but Mrs. Meng stopped him, and came up with a foolproof plan not to leave people a handle.
I really have to admire women, some things are more detailed than men, it turns out that when he didn't pay attention, Mrs. Meng has been sending people to appease Mi and others, in addition to not going out, good food and drink are offered, and the girls are brought into the house to be raised, and the boys are placed next to Mi's, but please teach Mr. to read, and if you don't like literature, you can also teach martial arts, so that Mi has nothing to say.
Mi and the others began to be a little frightened when Meng Shen was gone, but the comfortable days that followed made them think otherwise.
I think it's not bad if Meng Shen never comes back, so that Mengfu will take care of them for a lifetime, compared to a few taels of silver a month in the countryside, the days on the Zhuangzi of Mengfu outside the city are simply immortals.
After receiving the letter from Mrs. Pei of Fu Yin, Mrs. Meng even asked the clever mother-in-law to come to the door overnight to persuade Mi Shi, and there was no good day to follow Meng Shen to fool around. [,!] Zi Guo, so many years of husband and wife, she should be dead to Meng Shen, this is a useless man, and Wanguan's family wealth will only be defeated in his hands.
What's more, who will give him thousands of family fortunes and let him lose?
But Meng is not the same, after all, Meng is the child's grandfather, great-grandfather, there is a dislike between their father and son, and Meng also ignores his grandson just because of Meng Shen.
If Meng Shen no longer stirs up the situation, or even if Meng Shen does not appear, who will leave the blood alone? Even if the flesh on the palms and backs of his hands is thick and thin, could it be that as a grandfather, Meng Ye will still expel the children from the house in Meng Shen's absence?
Mi is not stupid, as long as the truth is broken, she can listen to it.
After persuading Mi Shi, Mrs. Meng immediately arranged this good play at the entrance of the government office non-stop, and this play ended successfully because of Mi's hard performance.
A crisis is not more than safe, at least there is a time to ease.
Meng Ye sincerely admired: "Madam, thanks to you, otherwise I don't know what to do next, this play at the entrance of the government is really wonderful, I admire my husband."
Mrs. Meng said lightly: "The trick is seconds, but this is not my credit."
"Who's coming up with that idea?" Meng was also a little surprised, not that Mrs. Meng thought of this trick, but that Mrs. Meng confessed that she didn't come up with it, and she didn't want to put such a big credit.
"Is this a trick that your princess's daughter came up with?" Madame Meng said this unhurriedly.
The bland sentence almost made Meng Ye jump, "What did Xiaofu think? (To be continued)
