“…… Dad, what should we do, your eldest son is forcing our family to death, our family can't survive......" In Dali Temple, in front of a prison cell temporarily converted from a stable, a person came to visit the prison, this person is the most beloved second son of Emperor Fu Zheng of Wuguo who was locked in the stable, Huangfu Jingzhang, he lay on the ground outside the cage, crying a lot, looking so miserable.

In the cell, the emperor, who had nothing wrong except for his hair and dirty clothes, slammed his hatred on the ground, and scolded angrily: "Rebel son...... Livestock ......", he scolded and scolded only a few words, and did not say half a word that his second son found useful.

"Dad, don't scold for now, think about what to do, your eldest son's dog slave dog fights with people, runs every day to urge, your son and grandson can no longer live......" Huangfu Jingzhang cried even more miserably than just now, provoked the two prisons not far away and snorted coldly with great dissatisfaction, "snapped ......" and whipped the leather whip in his hand on an empty manger beside him, and shouted angrily: "Lord Huangfu, the time is almost up......"

Huangfu Jingzhang hated it in his heart, but he had to put a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I bother you to be accommodating again." The two prisoners deliberately glanced at the jade pendant on Huangfu Jingzhang's waist, and Huangfu Jingzhang had to untie the jade pendant and send it to the prison's hands, so the two prisoners snorted coldly and turned around, which was considered to be more convenient with Huangfu Jingzhang.

Huangfu Jingzhang cried to his father again for ideas, and the two prisoners turned their backs and carefully played with the white jade mandarin duck pendant they had just obtained. It's okay not to play with it, and this play allows the two cell bosses to find evidence. There are two small characters the size of rice grains on the back of the white jade mandarin duck pendant, and the two cell heads carefully recognized them under the sun, and recognized that those two words were the word "Anyang" in the small seal. These two small characters are extremely inconspicuous, and if you are not someone who knows anything about jade, you will never notice this small mark again.

It couldn't be more coincidental than one of these two prisons, his father used to be the jade master of the palace office, and even more coincidental is that this white jade mandarin duck pendant was carved by the father of the prison. This white jade mandarin duck is a pair that is interlocked together, and it can also be worn separately when broken, usually the husband and wife wear one of them to show the meaning of the husband and wife's love and wings.

At that time, the father of the prison made this pair of mandarin duck white jade pendants, and also got an additional reward from the county lord of Anyang County, the father of the prison was extremely proud, and he specially told his son when he was eating and drinking at home, so this prison had just seen the mandarin duck white jade pendant on the waist of the emperor and had already paid attention, so he specially asked for a bribe and took the mandarin duck white jade pendant into his hand to take a closer look.

Quietly poked the prison next to him, the prison that recognized the appearance of the jade pendant whispered, the other prison nodded again and again, and the prison took the jade pendant and hurried away. Recognizing this mandarin duck white jade pendant is a great achievement, and the top has to give them more rewards.

After a while, a team of officials came, bringing Huangfu Zheng and Huangfu Jingzhang into the main hall of Dali Temple. Huangfu Zheng was secretly uneasy in his heart, since he was arrested in Dali Temple, he had never really been in the hall, even if it was an interrogation or something, it was all carried out in the flower hall behind the main hall, and suddenly he was taken to the main hall, and a bad omen flashed in Huangfu Zheng's heart.

"Huangfu Guogong, this official has repeatedly asked you, whether you embezzled the dowry of the former Duchess and the county lord of Xian'anyang, you are sure that there is no such thing, today the official wants to ask again, since you have not embezzled, now the dowry of the county lord of Xian'anyang will appear in the hands of Ling Lang?"

"Ah...... Adult Mingjian...... There is no such thing......" Huangfu Zheng and Huangfu Jingzhang cried out in unison after a very short period of shock. Because there was no conclusive evidence, Dali Siqing did not dare to ask for an order to search the Wuguo Mansion, after all, Emperor Zhaoming did not issue an order to abolish the title of Duke of Huangfu Zheng, and Huangfu Jingde did not officially hand over the complaint. The lawsuit is the last step of Huangfu Jingde's plan, and it has not yet reached that point.

On that day, Qi Jinghuan ordered people to send Huangfu Zheng into Dali Temple to defeat the anger, because he did not receive an official form, Huangfu Zheng had the seal of the national duke, so Dali Temple Qing was quite embarrassed. He is not good at torture, so he can only ask again and again. It's just that no matter how Dali Siqing asks, Huangfu Zheng has always bitten to death and has never embezzled the dowry of his wife and eldest daughter-in-law, so at this time, Huangfu Zheng naturally has to die and deny it. If he pleaded guilty to this crime, he and the Liu family would be completely trampled into the mud and never be able to turn over.

Dali Siqing slapped the shocked wood hard, and said angrily: "The evidence is conclusive, you still dare to quibble, is it really a child's play place for this official?" This white jade pendant is clearly the dowry of the county lord of Anyang County, what else do you have to say! ”

"Ah......" Huangfu Zheng's father and son looked at each other, Huangfu Jingzhang thought for a while, only to remember that this jade pendant was he had a time into the warehouse more than ten years ago, this jade pendant jade quality is excellent and the carving is good, so he picked it up and hung it on his waist, and did not carefully check the origin of this jade pendant at that time, he was tired of wearing it for a while and threw it aside, this morning the maid served him to change his clothes, holding the box and asking him to choose accessories, Huangfu Jingzhang did not know how to choose the mandarin duck white jade pendant that had not been worn for many years, It's really like a ghost sending a god.

The things created inside are all registered separately, and even if Huangfu Jingzhang wants to do something to register it, it is too late. Moreover, this kind of mandarin duck jade pendant that can only be used for gifts between husband and wife, as a sister-in-law, it is absolutely impossible for the county lord of Anyang to give it to his brother-in-law. Huangfu Jingzhang's face was ashen, once this mandarin duck white jade pendant crossed the bright road, it was confirmed that they embezzled the dowry of the county lord of Xian'anyang, as long as the treasury of the Duke of Wuguo was raided, they could no longer hide the dowry of the Duchess of Wuguo and the county lord of Xian'anyang.

Dali Siqing secretly observed the expressions of Wu Guogong's father and son, and his heart became more and more numerous. He thought about it, and said loudly: "Come on, take Huangfu Zhenghuangfu Jingzhang and his son into custody pending trial." ”

The two squad officials were stunned, but the master was still clever, and glanced at the squad leader, who understood, and immediately picked up the Huangfu Zheng and Huangfu Jingzhang father and son locks, and put them in two already overcrowded cells.

But said that Dali Siqing returned to the second hall, and immediately ordered the scholar to study the ink and lay the paper, he wrote a short message first, and after sealing it, he ordered his confidants to be sent to the Dingbei Hou Mansion as soon as possible, and immediately waited for the reply to be brought back.

Mo about half an hour later, to the Dingbei Hou Mansion to send the letter back to Dali Temple, he did not bring back any reply, only to Dali Temple Qing bowed down and said: "Back to the lord, the Huangfu Marquis said that there were some excellent crabs at the bottom, and the villain was ordered to bring you a basket, and the villain has been quietly sent back to the house." ”

Dali Siqing was stunned for a moment before he smiled, and he couldn't help but think to himself in his heart: It is said that the Huangfu Marquis is just a martial artist, but now it seems that this is definitely not the case, and he will have to make more friends in the future.

After laughing, Dali Siqing began to write an excerpt and submit it to Emperor Zhaoming, which involved the royal family and the ministers, how to deal with the scale of this treatment, and finally it depends on how Emperor Zhaoming disposed of it.

However, it was said that after Huangfu Jingde received the secret letter from Dali Siqing, he ordered Fang Yi to send a message to Qin Yuliang, Huangfu Jingxian's genuine uncle, only saying that the time had come and let them act according to the method discussed before. Qin Yuliang got the news, and immediately met secretly with his nephew Huangfu Yonghei outside, and then, Dali Siqing, who had just transcribed the recital, heard the sound of drumming and shouting grievances from outside the yamen.

Someone beat the drum and shouted grievances, sitting in the Dali Siqing had to take over the case, and so the official brought the drummer up to report the door, Dali Siqing was angry, and he was specially designed for the Huangfu family to sit, just wrote the impeachment of the Huangfu Zheng and the Huangfu Jingzhang excerpt, the third lady of the Wuguo Mansion handed over the complaint to her husband Huangfu Jing for the crime of betraying his wife and marrying another.

Da Chen's household marriage law clearly stipulates that the system of monogamy and multiple concubines is practiced, and only one main wife can be used, and the number of concubines is usually not limited. Those who are officials are to be removed from office and sentenced to exile, while those who are white are to be punished with a rod and then exiled. If the wife of the latter wife knows that her husband already has a wife, she is guilty of the same crime as her husband, and if she is deceived into marriage, she is acquitted of crime and can choose her own whereabouts, and if she still wants to stay in her husband's house, she can only be a concubine. As for the original room, it will be placed by its own will.

The marriage law of Dachen households was formulated when Dachen opened the country, and after nearly a hundred years, no one has strictly implemented this regulation, usually the people do not raise officials and do not prosecute, as long as the wife does not sue the husband, there is nothing to do. However, if anyone does sue him, the government will have to judge according to the law. It's just that women are a vulnerable group in the end, and there are also children involved, so even if a man reverses his wife and marries another, the original wife will choose to knock out her teeth and swallow blood because of all kinds of concerns, just like Qin's previous choice, if it weren't for Huangfu Jingxian pushing her too hard, Qin's family would not have come to such a decisive step.

The Qin family had already made preparations, not only handed over the form, but also prepared evidence, she not only said the address of Liuhua Hutong, but also provided the names and addresses of the emcee Xi Po and others used when Huangfu Jingxian and the Liu family visited the hall that day, and even the names of the restaurant that ordered the wedding banquet and the name of Xiaoliba who sent the wedding banquet are clearly listed on the form.

Dali Siqing couldn't help but gasp when he saw the situation, he secretly looked at the Qin family who was standing at the bottom, and was extremely surprised and secretly admired in his heart.

"Mrs. Huangfu, do you know that if you sue your husband with your wife, you should receive thirty rods first? Do you really want to hand over this form? Dali Siqing asked slowly.

The Qin clan replied very resolutely: "Lord Hui, the women understand that the women are willing to accept these thirty rods. I just ask the adults to take the case and give the women justice. ”

Dali Siqing nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Since Madame has made up her mind, please rest aside, and when the people involved in the case arrive, the official will start to hear the case." With that, he sent a few sticks and ordered the messenger to lock up the relevant people and wait for the case.

Half an hour later, Huangfu Jingxian, the Liu family he secretly married, and other related people were all locked up and brought to the case. Huangfu Jingxian was arrested in the Wuguo Mansion, he thought that he was affected by his father and second brother, and he was thinking about how to exonerate himself along the way, but he didn't want to see that the Qin family and the Liu family were in the hall when he arrived in the lobby, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and secretly screamed that it was not good.

Liu saw Huangfu Jingxian, but she could be regarded as relying on, she threw herself into Huangfu Jingxian's arms, and cried delicately: "Master, I can scare the concubine to death, the concubine is sitting at home, but these strongmen are knocking on the door, the master wants to be the master of the concubine......"

Before Huangfu Jingxian could react, his body trembled violently by a loud sound of slapping the wood, and he involuntarily pushed the Liu clan away.

"Liu, this official asks you, what is your relationship with Huangfu Jingxian?" Dali Siqing watched coldly, knowing that the Liu family was the best breakthrough, so he shouted loudly to find out the truth, and turned around to excuse the Qin family, the Qin family looked dry and thin, but I was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the punishment of thirty rods.

"I ...... My husband and I are husband and wife. Liu's frightened heart beat suddenly, and he said quickly without thinking about it. Huangfu Jingxian had already understood at this time, he quickly pushed the Liu family aside, and bowed to Dali Siqing: "My lord, don't listen to this woman's nonsense, she is just the concubine of the lower official, and there is only one wife of the lower official, and that is her." As he spoke, Huangfu Jingxian pointed his finger at the Qin clan, and the hatred flashed in his eyes.

Dali Siqing said lightly: "Today, the Emperor Fu Qin sued his husband for betraying his wife and marrying another, and the case was escorted to the lobby of the official, and now the relevant people have arrived in the hall, and the official officially accepts the case, and the Emperor Fu does not need to panic, yes or no, it must be tried to be clear." ”

Huangfu Jing saw that the facts were indeed the same as his own conjecture, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, he glared at the Qin family angrily and shouted: "Qin, you are so bold, you dare to slander your husband, where will you be your husband, the eternal heir, and Yuting?" ”

The Qin family was already a person with a bottom in his heart, so he was naturally not afraid of the warning implied in Huangfu Jingxian's words, so he only raised his head, looked at Huangfu Jingxian with a pair of extremely cold eyes, and said loudly word by word: "Since the master has the courage to make a betrayal of his wife and marry another, why should he be afraid of suing the official for his wife?" ”

"You ......" Huangfu Jing's red head and face rose, his originally handsome and elegant face looked so hideous and terrifying, he was about to rush to the Qin family to pinch her neck, but was blocked by the officials, and the hated Huangfu Jingxian gasped.

Dali Siqing slapped another shocking wood and said in a deep voice: "Quiet...... Liu, the official asked you, ...... you"

"My lord, this wicked woman sues her husband with her wife, and she deserves to be killed first!" Without waiting for Dali Qing to finish speaking, Huangfu Jingxian interrupted his words and pointed at the Qin family resentfully. If it weren't for the official to block him, he was afraid that he would have taken the water and fire stick in the hand of the officer, and the stick on his head would result in Qin's life.

Dali Siqing glanced at Huangfu Jingxian, and said lightly: "Lord Huangfu doesn't need to worry, come here, pass on the prison mother, and bring the Qin family to the second hall for punishment." ”

This is Dali Siqing taking care of the Qin family within the scope of the law, and the prison wife took her to the second hall to be tortured, no matter how heavy the beating is, it will not damage the reputation of the Qin family. Huangfu was panting with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. I could only watch as the two prison wives brought the Qin family into the second hall, and after a while, the sound of "popping ......" came from the second hall, mixed with Qin's extremely painful screams. Listening to the screams, Huangfu Jingxian felt that the evil spirit in his heart had calmed down a little.

The thirty sentences were quickly over, and the two prison wives put the Qin family out, and everyone in the hall saw that the moon-white skirt worn by the Qin family was already soaked in blood, Qin's face was pale, his face was covered with cold sweat, and his body trembled uncontrollably, and it seemed that she was struggling to breathe.

After receiving the killing staff, Dali Siqing can start the trial, and Huangfu Jingxian has no reason to stop it. In fact, this case does not have to be tried at all, when Huangfu Jingxian wrote a marriage letter in order to please Liu's liking, the officials deceived her when they went to lock up Liu's family, saying that she had no matchmaker, and Liu's was so frightened that he hurriedly took the marriage certificate as a witness.

Even if this is a marriage letter that has not been filed in the government, but the marriage book is written with a red gold sticker, and it is also in duplicate, and the Liu family and Huangfu Jingxian, including the matchmaker, have pressed their fingerprints, and this marriage letter already has legal effect, so Huangfu Jingxian's betrayal of his wife and remarrying another wife cannot be relied on. Only the wife of the main room can write a big red marriage book, and the concubine only needs to write a concubine book on pink paper.

Huangfu Jingxian saw that the official presented his handwritten marriage book, and immediately lost any arrogance, at that time he was full of only one Liu, as long as the Liu family was happy to ask him to do anything, otherwise he would not write the marriage book by himself, leaving himself with such a big hidden danger, with the marriage book as a basis, he had nothing to say, so he could only kneel down and confess his guilt. If he still pleads not guilty when the evidence is conclusive, then the guilt will be increased.

Because of the resentment in his heart that the Liu family was extremely stupid, Huangfu Jingxian put the responsibility on the Liu family, saying that she would not die as a concubine, and that she had to be two big with the Qin family, and he himself was confused by the beauty of the Liu family, so he broke the law.

Dali Siqing saw that Liu's enchanting and charming woman did not look like a good woman, and carefully checked her identity, it turned out that she was a criminal official, and was sold into slavery by the official, and she was originally not allowed to redeem herself, so she was one of the two crimes, and she had to be reissued.

Huangfu Jingxian was originally a small official who did not enter the stream, and Dali Siqing dismissed his official as a matter of one sentence, and he didn't even have to hand over the fold, just say hello to the ministry. So Huangfu Jingxian was wiped out of the official like this, received fifty boards, and was exiled to the miasma of Lingnan, and it is difficult to say whether Huangfu Jingxian, who has always been pampered and pampered, can survive to Lingnan.

As for the children born to the two of them, the six-year-old son Huangfu Yonglian was sold into slavery by his parents, and the daughter who was less than two years old was lucky and sent to the health hall.

After disposing of Huangfu Jingxian and Liu's family, Dali Siqing said to Qin's family with a pleasant face: "Qin's family, this official has punished Huangfu Jingxian and Liu's crimes according to the law, you can go back." ”

Qin's food knelt down for Dali Siqing, crying and pleading: "Ask for mercy from the lord, and the women will be reconciled with the emperor." ”

Huangfu Jingxian, who had not yet been dragged down for torture, immediately roared angrily when he heard this: "Slut...... My lord, I'm going to divorce this slut! ”

The Qin clan glared at Huangfu Jingxian angrily, and shouted loudly: "Huangfu Jingxian, you conscienceless thing, I will honor your in-laws for you to raise children and preside over the feed, my son and my daughter are the upright Huangfu family sons and daughters, why did you divorce me!" ”

Qin's words reminded Huangfu Jingxian, and he immediately roared: "Bullshit Miss Gongzi, you all get out of me, you hurt me like this, and you still want your children to dream of being Miss Gongzi of the Guogong Mansion......"

Dali Siqing is a person who knows the inside story well, and he already understood why the Qin family only proposed a pair of children at this time, so he couldn't help nodding slightly, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Why did you kick my child out of the Mansion!" Qin was afraid that Huangfu Jingxian would come back to his senses, so he continued to stimulate him, Huangfu Jingxian was almost crazy by Qin's stimulation, he suddenly rushed to the master, snatched his pen and paper and quickly wrote down the letter of breaking off his wife's relatives, but in the blink of an eye, Qin's family was divorced, and her children were also expelled from the Wuguo Mansion, and they were no longer allowed to take Huangfu as their surname.

After Huangfu Jingxian finished writing the letter of resignation and the letter of severance, he immediately pressed his own handprint, not to mention, but also rushed forward to grab Qin's hand, and pressed her handprint hard. Then he slapped the letter of resignation and the letter of severance on the case of Dali Siqing, and said sharply: "Slut, look what else you have to do!" ”

Qin Shi stood up with difficulty, staggered to the front of the public case, picked up the letter of resignation and the letter of severance with trembling hands, read it twice seriously, and then folded and put away the two pieces of documentary evidence that were extremely important to her, looked up at Huangfu Jingxian, and said coldly: "Huangfu Jingxian, thank you." ”

Huangfu Jingxian was stunned, he didn't understand that he had divorced the Qin clan and expelled a pair of children from the Wuguo Mansion, how the Qin clan still thanked him. At this time, Huangfu Jingxian didn't know that his family was about to suffer a catastrophe, and staying in the Wuguo Mansion was a dead end. And the Qin family was divorced, she could leave the land of right and wrong of Wuguo Gong with her children and dowry as soon as possible, even if she didn't go back to her parents' house, she could raise a pair of children with her dowry, as long as she taught the two children well, the future would be much better than now.

The case has been concluded, the relevant people were taken to prison, Qin staggered out of Dali Temple, Qin Yuliang and Huangfu Yonghei, who had been waiting outside Dali Temple, hurriedly greeted him, Huangfu Yongji grabbed his mother's hand and cried, Qin touched his son's head, looked at his younger brother and whispered: "Yuliang, my sister is finally free, and these two children also belong to my sister." ”

Qin Yuliang saw that his sister's lower body clothes were already soaked with blood, and tears were pouring out, he hurriedly held his sister's arm, and cried and said, "Sister, get in the car quickly, let's go to the hospital to treat the injury first." ”

Qin shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's okay, Yuliang, send me to the Wuguo Mansion first, and take Yuting and my dowry away." ”

Qin Yuliang cried: "Sister, your injury ......"

Qin whispered a word in his younger brother's ear, Qin Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Qin's injuries were indeed not light on the surface, but she had never hurt her muscles and bones, she just had a terrible pain in her flesh, in fact, there was no bleeding at all, the shocking blood on her white skirt was splashed by the prison mother with chicken blood mixed with some other things, and it looked like human blood. This is a secret method of the errand workers in the yamen, and it is not enough for outsiders.

Qin Yuliang took his sister and nephew to the Wuguo Mansion and ordered someone to pack the Qin family's already packed up and loaded the cage into the car he brought. The second lady Xu got the news and hurried over to see what was going on. Qin said that he went to Dali Temple to sue Huangfu Jingxian for betraying his wife and marrying another wife, and then took out the letter of resignation and the letter of severance, and then took out his dowry book and handed it to Xu, asking her to send someone to watch and count, so as not to wait for her to leave the Wuguo Mansion and be said that she had hidden the things of the Wuguo Mansion.

Xu actually knew about Huangfu Jingxian's private outer room, but he didn't expect Huangfu Jingxian to be so confused that he actually wrote a marriage letter with the outer room. She could only let the Qin family leave with the dowry.

When the Qin family was about to leave, the Xu family, who listened to the words of his henchman grandmother, hurriedly sent someone to stop the Qin family, and gave the Qin family a two hundred taels of silver ticket and a set of pure gold thirteen things worth two hundred taels of silver that the mother hurriedly prepared, saying that it was a concubine, and she would leave a memorial with her, and if there was any difficulty in the future, she would just send someone to quietly tell her, but if she could help, she would definitely not refuse.

The Qin family refused politely, but she did not succeed, and the Xu family insisted that she accept it. Qin secretly thought about it for a while, and had a plan in his heart, so he no longer refused, and accepted all the silver tickets and jewelry. These things will still be used on the Xu family and her children in the future, and she is just collecting them for the Xu family now.

A few days later, after the incident in the Wuguo Mansion, the Xu family regretted why they didn't give the Qin family more silver jewelry, but it was too late to regret it at that time. The Duke of Wuguo Mansion was copied, and the dowry of the Xu family was not even a tael of silver, and it was all copied and used to compensate the dowry of the Duchess of Wuguo and the county lord of Xian'anyang. Speaking of which, the Xu family's dowry was compensated, but she was not wronged, she was not cleaner than the Qin family, and in the old days, their family did not suffer less from the dowry of the Duchess of Xianwu and the county lord of Xian'anyang. Now that the dowry has been confiscated, it can be regarded as a report and a report.

When the Xu family and her children were sold by the government, the Qin family had spent more than 170 taels of silver to redeem the Xu family's mother and son, and their mother and son had no place to stand on their heads and no place to stand on their heads, so they could only rely on the remaining 20 taels of silver and the set of pure gold and thirteen things. However, their mother and son were bedridden because of the wind and cold in prison, and when Xu's central people asked the doctor to see a doctor and take medicine, they tossed for more than a month to cure the illness of the mothers. If it weren't for the Qin family to help one or two from time to time, the Xu family and her sons and daughters would not have survived the harsh winter of Yanjing City.
