Chapter 170: Selling His Mother for Wealth
readx;
Everyone also looked at the news in the court to see who came out to confess this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Whether it's the money steward or someone else, they come out to confess, or come out to buy people, they are all ordered by the master, and they are doing things for the master, and now if something happens, they will be the next person's guilt.
Qian Changdong knew that Steward Qian would never admit his guilt, and if he confessed, then Mo Heng's next attack would be on him, the master. The key to this matter is Pei Wenli, as long as the Chen family committed suicide, even if Steward Qian instructed someone to follow, it would not be extinguished!
When Steward Qian looked at him, he shouted that Chen either committed suicide or others slandered him, so as to slander the old man and the young lady and aunt.
Chen and Pei Wenli had just walked out a short distance, and it was too cold in winter, so they settled in an inn in a town. It is said that she committed suicide because the doors and windows of the house were locked, and Chen was hanged.
The local government helped to investigate, and only then did it say that Chen was hanged, because during the day, an old man touched off her hat, revealing that she only had a few hairs left, saying that she was a sister-in-law, and she was wearing the clothes of a layman. Then the inn knew inside and out, and the proprietress didn't let them stay in the hotel. Pei Wenli showed off his fame, saying that he took his mother to the capital to see a doctor, and begged for it, so he stayed.
But the news of the ghost shaving his head spread far away, and someone revealed the identity of the Chen family that night, he was shaved by the ghost, the proprietress was chassing again, and there was nowhere to go at night, it was cold, Pei Wenli gave three times more silver, so he agreed to let them stay for one night.
After verification, the local government said that Chen was humiliated and hanged himself. The ghost shaves his head, no one can cure it, and it is in vain to go to the capital.
Pei Wenli was so resentful that he thought that someone had killed Chen. He's not going to kill himself! The one who was dumb and dumb before, it must be someone from the Qian family!
Steward Qian refused to admit his guilt and was sent to prison for a later trial.
Qian Changdong hurriedly found Pei Wenli to agree, he could give money to fund Pei Wenli.
That night, Feng Wei got a contract document in his hand, and Pei Wenli agreed to the agreement with Qian Changdong, but in order to keep the other party's handle, he signed a contract document. Pei Wenli admitted that Chen committed suicide, and Qian Changdong gave Pei Wenli 3,000 taels of silver, and no longer held him accountable. Make a document to prevent one party from repenting in the end, and each grabs its own handle. If the matter is revealed, Qian Changdong will not be able to escape the charge of buying murder, and Pei Wenli will not be able to escape the name of a big unfilial piety who sells his mother for money
Mo Heng read the contract document, and stopped going to the court the next day, "Things have been reversed, what's the benefit of me going!?" ”
The two yacha did not invite anyone, so they returned to the yamen and brought back his words as they were.
Jiang Benxin understood what he meant, and the people at the gate who came to hear the trial didn't quite understand what was going on. After listening to it for a long time, it was an interrogation and a re-autopsy, and Chen really committed suicide, and Steward Qian shouted that he sent someone, but it was to protect Chen's and prevent others from killing Chen and blaming them, because Chen must not die at this time. As soon as she dies, she will blame them.
But he didn't dare to say that the two murderers were found by Mo Heng to slander them, only that the price was not negotiated, and the two parties clashed. Regarding the beating of Fang Liuming, Steward Qian also admitted it, but Fang Liuming was not disabled, and he was already an official in high school, so he did not succeed and was willing to compensate fifty taels of silver.
As soon as the two murderers heard this, they didn't have to bear a murder charge, even if the sentence was commuted, they would be exiled at the lightest of their lives. Now they only need to make a few boards, and of course they will respond immediately.
The case was quickly closed, and the money housekeeper bought a major 30 board for the murder and released it.
The two murderers were also released with 30 boards each.
Only then did everyone understand that Mo Heng was reluctant to come again, and what was the matter with the reversal of what he said. The two of them are obviously ready to use the money for personal gain. Some people disdainfully scolded Pei Wenli for being unfilial, his own mother was killed, and he even helped the murderer to lie. Is it just for the sum of money they gave!? No matter how bad the Chen family is, it is also his Pei Wenli's mother-in-law! It's wolf-hearted!
Pei Wenli took Chen's corpse and returned home with Pei's old man Zhu, Pei Zongli bought a coffin shroud, decorated Chen's funeral, and stopped at home, waiting for Pei Houli, Pei Wenbo, and Kong.
The villagers all talked about it, saying that although Chen was mean and treacherous, he really didn't deserve to die. Looking at Pei Wenli's eyes, he was also a little disdainful and afraid. Even if his own mother was killed, he could sell it, what else could he not do?
Fang Lao Xiucai and Fang Li rushed to the county seat and received the compensation of fifty taels of silver.
Although the family has a lot of money now, fifty taels of silver is not a small amount, Fang Li looked at his father holding the silver bag, and his eyes looked over from time to time.
Fang Laoxiu discussed with Pei Qin and Mo Heng, "Da Lang was fine at the beginning, and he didn't mention any skin injuries." This silver, let's not want it, let's pay it to Li Baoxiang's family! ”
Before Pei Qin could speak, Fang Li stood up, "Why!?" This is compensation to our family, compensation to Dalang, why should it be given to Li Baoxiang's family!? Dad, are you confused!? ”
Fang Laoxiu's face sank when he looked at him.
Fang Li hurriedly changed his words, "It's not... I mean, Daddy is going to have a fork! These fifty taels of silver are obviously compensated to our family, and he Li Baoxiang broke his arm, didn't we also cure him? I don't know how many supplements I bought for them, and I recognized him as my godson, and I climbed into a godfather with our family, and I want to give them this fifty taels again, they want to be beautiful! ”
"Fifty taels of silver do you see in your eyes? In the future, if you are given 500 taels or 5,000 taels, will you kill your father and mother!? Fang Laoxiu scolded angrily.
"How can that! It's not the same thing at all! Fang Li hurriedly said.
"Don't understand bullshit!" Fang Laoxiu scolded angrily, the silver is resolutely given to Li Baoxiang's family, not only to give, but also to give it with great fanfare.
Fang Li still muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's not that they are doing a few big deals, fifty taels of silver will be given to others, how many sour bamboo shoots and sweet potato flour can be sold to make so much money."
。 ”
"When you become a family, our family will be finished!" Fang Laoxiu had already decided that in the future, he would only let Fang Li take care of small matters, and the decision-making should never be made by him, let alone let him be in charge.
Although Pei Qin didn't want to see Li Baoxiang's family, he couldn't keep the silver at home, Li Baoxiang and Fang Liuming were beaten together, and the matter of breaking his arm and admitting to his relatives was also boiling at that time, since the government compensated for the silver, it should be sent to Li Baoxiang's family.
Pei Qian also felt that Li Baoxiang's family was not worthy at all, Li Baoxiang's arm was broken, and he didn't run away, he just got married, and took the opportunity to come to their house, and he dared to think about her.
At this time, the Li family is already preparing for a happy event, Li Baoxiang and Yu Qingxiu, the daughter of the Yu family, immediately set a wedding date, and became a relative before the year, so that Li Baoxiang can concentrate on next year's scientific examination, there is someone to serve, and there is a new daughter-in-law in the New Year.
Fifty taels of silver were sent to Li Baoxiang's house with great fanfare, and Li Pozi and Li Laohan were very happy about this windfall.
The villagers also said that the Fang family was high-spirited, and the fifty taels of silver must have been won by Mo Heng and Pei Qin with the government, and the silver compensation was also compensated to the Fang family for Fang Liuming, but they didn't want one or two, and gave it all to Li Baoxiang. The Li family climbed into this family, it was really lucky!
Mrs. Li was originally very happy, fifty taels of silver is not easy to earn! But when I heard that the people outside were praising how good the Fang family was, and how lucky their family was to climb this door, they poured a basin of cold water on it, and became angry, "If my son hadn't broken his arm for Fang Liuming, he would have won the exam a long time ago!" Why don't you say that my son who they killed has no fame until now, and they have divorced their daughter-in-law!? All the good things they said let them fall! ”
Li Laohan persuaded her not to say outside, "This year, when my son becomes a parent, I will ask for advice and ask for advice, let them help me walk, and strive to make Baoxiang famous in the exam next year is the most important thing!" ”
Mrs. Li was just angry and unhappy, "If they were willing to help, Baoxiang would have passed the exam a long time ago!" ”
"It's easy to talk about this year! The son is about to get married, so don't toss about it! Li Laohan was also angry, but if people didn't help, he could only scold in his heart.
Mrs. Li was angry, and she knew that it was useless to be angry, so she waited for Yu Qingxiu to enter the door and let her go to her mother's house as well, after all, Yu was not her own aunt, but also her aunt, they were all one person, and they would change their names to godmothers in the future.
Pei Qin's body was getting heavier and heavier, Li Baoxiang got married, and it was still snowing, so he didn't go, and only asked Zhang Gengshan to send a congratulatory gift as a steward.
Mrs. Li was even more dissatisfied, she also went to invite her in person, so she pointed to Pei Qin to come over to support the field, but she didn't come over any of them, only sent a subordinate! The congratulatory gift given is also far worse than Fang Fang's marriage!
She didn't want to think about it, Li Baoxiang just recognized Fang Li and Yu as godfathers and godmothers, not to mention that they had nothing to do with Pei Qin's sister and brother, and Fang Fu had nothing to do with it, but fortunately, they had beaten Pei Qian's idea to die, and Pei Qin would give them decency!?
became a relative, Mrs. Li asked Li Baoxiang and Yu Qingxiu to go to each house to visit relatives, recognize relatives, and one of them was Liu'er Lane.
Yu Qingxiu dressed up, her clothes were also changed into red embroidered satin jackets, she was dressed up very festively, the little golden hairpin and silver step were worn, which also added to the luxury, and she opened her mouth with a smile on her face and called Cousin Pei Qin, "I am cousins with Cousin Fang, so I will also be called Mrs. Cousin with Cousin Fang!" ”
Pei Qin laughed, let them sit down and be polite.
Pei Qian looked at it coldly, unwilling to greet them much, if it weren't for the fear that the eldest sister would make another mistake, and they would cry and say, she wouldn't be staring here.
I was not familiar with it, but after the greetings, it was a little cold
Yu Qingxiu was a little embarrassed, thinking of what her mother taught, talking to the baby, no one doesn't like to hear people praise their own baby, so she began to talk around Jiu'er, "... It is said that he looks like a cousin-in-law, and he will definitely amaze everyone when he grows up in the future! ”
Pei Qin looked at the roof with his eyes, and praised the beauty of the dead blind man.
Yu Qingxiu hadn't seen Mo Heng yet, Fang Fang had married all female dependents, and she went to her aunt's house that time. Seeing that Jiu'er is really delicate and beautiful, I can't help but think about how handsome Mo Heng should be, which makes people praise when they mention it, and gave birth to a girl with such a symbol.
Li Baoxiang is also waiting for Mo Heng to come back, Mo Heng said that he was impetuous, and he couldn't pass the exam for another year, he was angry at first, and then he thought about it, he was indeed a little anxious, he failed the exam every year, and he wanted to marry Pei Qian to take advantage of the situation but couldn't get it, so he had knowledge, but he didn't settle down, so he didn't pass the exam. This time, I also took the opportunity to ask Mo Heng for a few more tricks.
At this time, Mo Heng was stopped on the road by Li Baolian.
She came out for a walk, and the roadside was icy, and the shady shade was uncivilized, so she slipped and fell. Seeing Mo Heng coming from the workshop, she simply didn't get up, covering her feet on the side of the road and sobbing. When Mo Heng came over, he begged him to help him up.
The western half of the village is inhabited by people surnamed Sun, and Zhang Shiqian's family is in the east. She actually ran to the western half of the village and fell on his way back to the workshop. Mo Heng only glanced at it coldly and walked straight over.
"Mo Gongzi! Mo Gongzi, save me! I've been falling here for a long time! Li Baolian cried and prayed.
Mo Heng went home directly.
Li Baolian cried unwillingly, even if she was a concubine for him, she didn't want to follow Zhang Shiqian!
Yu Qingxiu looked at Mo Heng's eyes wide and gasped, she only heard people, but she didn't want Pei Qin's husband to be so handsome.
Li Baoxiang hurriedly got up and saluted, ".... In the future, our two families will be closer, and I should change my name to cousin-in-law! He joked with a smile.
Mo Heng said lightly, "On the way back, I saw your sister sitting on the ground and stopped me from helping, so you better go over and help someone!" ”
Li Baoxiang's smile suddenly froze on his face, seeing that his expression was cold and cold, and thinking of his sister again, his face suddenly burned with a bang, and he gritted his teeth in shame.
Pei Qin raised her eyebrows and sat on the ground, didn't she fall into her arms?
Mo Heng glared at her darkly.
Pei Qin touched his nose and drank water from the teacup on the side.
Pei Qian said in a strange manner, "Li Baolian can't get up while sitting on the ground, let alone breaking her leg, you should be your brother and sister-in-law, it's better to go over and have a look as soon as possible!" ”
Yu Qingxiu didn't expect to see Mo Heng so embarrassed for the first time, Li Baolian often lives in her mother's house, and after she got married, she just returned to Zhang's house, but she didn't want to make this happen. Sitting on the ground and blocking the way and letting Mo Heng help her, this is not ...... She is not a widow, how can she not abide by the way of women!
Li Baoxiang felt a sense of shame, but he could only arch his hand, put this panic down, and go out to see Li Baolian.
Yu Qingxiu naturally joined him.
The faces of the two of them were ugly, Li Baolian had already gotten up by herself, and walked back with tears of sadness and loss, Li Baoxiang suddenly had a gloomy face and glared at her angrily. Every time he was humiliated, it was mostly because of the stupid things she did! This time it was originally an opportunity to recognize his relatives, and Mo Heng couldn't excuse himself to help him, but he didn't want her to do such an immoral thing to harm him at this critical time
When Li Baolian saw them, her face froze, tears suddenly burst out, and she also had resentment in her heart about him being a brother, "If it weren't for you, he wouldn't hate me so much!" "It's not something that annoys her brother and mother, how can Mo Gongzi ignore her!?
Seeing that she was still complaining about him, Li Baoxiang's face turned blue.
Yu Qingxiu also saw Li Baolian for the first time, and looked at her with surprise in her eyes. She is married, even if she is married to Zhang Shiqian, with her previous reputation, she can get by, don't you feel a little ashamed to block the road and let Mo Heng help her?
Li Baoxiang was already too lazy to pay attention to her, came over and gritted his teeth in a low voice, "If you don't shame on me anymore, you won't have a mother's family in the future!" ”
"I'm just saying, what are you doing so fiercely? If it weren't for you, how would I know that Zhao Junchao, know Zhang Shiqian, and be killed all my life!? Li Baolian complained that he began to cry.
Li Baoxiang was so angry that he warned her again, and left with his sleeves.
Yu Qingxiu looked at Li Baolian, when she first got married, she saw that this sister-in-law looked melancholy, self-pitying, and thought that the daughter of the scholar family was sad and sad, but she didn't expect her to ...... glanced at it again and reminded her, "When I turned around, I said that you twisted your waist and didn't stand up for a while." "Hurry up and keep up with Li Baoxiang.
When she returned to Liu'er Lane, Yu Qingxiu explained awkwardly, "The ground was slippery over there, Baolian fell and twisted her waist, and she didn't stand up for a while." "Said that Mo Heng misunderstood. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to talk again.
Li Baoxiang also gave up, saying that Li Baolian was too reckless, didn't go out often, and rarely made friends, and when he saw that Mo Heng knew him, he asked for help. Let's get the word straight.
Mo Heng only answered lightly and didn't say anything more.
After eating, when Li Baoxiang asked for teaching again, he was not confident.
Mo Heng pointed out several deficiencies in his policy theory, so he asked him to read more books and practice the policy theory he had written before.
Li Baoxiang felt that this was not taught at all, Mo Heng always looked down on him and was unwilling to teach him more. Pei Wendong is Pei Qin's younger brother, he doesn't say it, that Zhao Yong is just a young master from someone else's family, and he also taught him to be a young talent. If he doesn't take a fame test, he will get older and older, and the gap between him and Fang Liuming will be even farther!
When I got home, I didn't listen to Mo Heng's practice, and complained to Mrs. Li that Li Baolian was going to harm him again, and let Mrs. Li control Li Baolian, "She is already married to Zhang Shiqian, and going to find Mo Heng at this time will only embarrass me!" If it was because she angered Pei Qin and stumbled me in the scientific examination, I would never want to pass the exam in my life! ”
Mrs. Li's face turned black and red, red and blue, and she also scolded Li Baolian for causing trouble and bad things at this time.
Yu Qingxiu listened in the house and didn't dare to go out, for fear that her in-laws would be embarrassed. But what they said, they still heard it. She thought, even before, Li Baolian looked very pitiful to me at first, but after watching it a few more times, it was a lot worse than Pei Qin. Mo Heng looks like a fairy again, and he won't take a fancy to her, right!?
Li Baolian began to dislike and look down on her, and Zhang Shiqian's family still let her, feeling that she had climbed high, and they all respected her and indulged her. But after a long time, she is still working hard. The guilt of being miscarried was also worn away by herself little by little. Zhang Shiqian still indulged her and spoiled her.
Pei Qian went out to the workshop with her eldest sister and brother-in-law before, and also met Li Baolian, "I didn't expect that they would be cheap when they got married!" Shameless! Let Pei Qin keep an eye on Mo Heng, "Those people are all confirmed to be pregnant, so the fox took advantage of the loophole and climbed into bed!" If you let someone climb into your eldest brother-in-law's bed, just wait and cry! ”
Pei Qin transferred the words to Mo Heng, "If you let people climb your bed, just wait and cry."
! ”
Mo Heng was stunned, looked up at her, his face dark, "Only you dare to climb my bed, who else dares?" ”
"The old lady was dragged over by you!" Pei Qin said with a dark face.
"Hmm. You also took off my clothes. Mo Heng nodded.
Compared to dirt, she can't compare to this beast level. Pei Qin didn't have a good breath and said, "I'm hungry!" "Tell him to get something to eat.
Mo Heng bent the corners of his mouth and instructed Zhang Gengshan outside to go to the kitchen to bring the stewed fish soup.
Soon Zhang Gengshan took two bowls of fish soup, with two plates of steamed dumplings and fish balls, and brought them over.
In the front yard, Pei Qian and Aunt Jiu'er had already eaten, and led her out to watch the excitement.
Pei Houli and Pei Wenbo, Kong's family came back with their daughter Pei Qingya.
It has been more than a month from the notification to their return, and it is absolutely impossible to say that they did not delay. And Pei Wenli did not come back to mourn.
The time dragged on for too long, and even in winter, Chen's corpse stinked.
Zhu disliked it, so he let people come back, so he hurriedly buried it.
And Chen's death, the most unwilling is Pei Wenbo. He is already seventeen, and he will be eighteen after the New Year, and he will be filial piety for another three years, how old is he!? Besides, he has already fallen in love with a young lady in the capital, and after three years of filial piety, he has already married and had children!
Pei Houli also cried very sadly, but he cried that his son's future was ruined again, and his younger son's family affairs were delayed, and this filial piety period had to be kept. As for Chen's death, he was uncomfortable for a few days at first, and then he felt relieved. No longer have to look at Chen's ugly and mean face and control him everywhere!
Soon the Chen family was buried, and the old Pei family did not have a big banquet guests, and there were not many people to feast, so it was over after a few tables.
Kong's family returned to this house, and there was no mother-in-law to oppress, but she knew that soon Pei Houli should find a stepmother-in-law, and she still pressed on her head. Zhu also saw that the big house was even more unpleasant, and began to call her. She knew the strangeness of Chen's death, and Pei Wenli didn't pursue it, so she discussed with Qian Wanxiu, "My mother-in-law is gone, and I can't serve a family by myself, my grandmother is old, and my second aunt and uncle are not often at home, why don't you buy two mothers-in-law to come back to serve?" ”
"Mother-in-law is not good at asking for help, why don't you buy two maids?" Qian Wanxiu looked at her, mockery flashing in her eyes. I think I have her handle, and I want to pinch her!? Just with her Kong family, she is not qualified enough!
Kong's shortness of breath for a while, "The little maid is not sensible, and she is not diligent in her work, and the mother-in-law is sensible and diligent, even if her hands and feet are not as sharp as the little maid, but she will be calmer in doing things." My mother-in-law just went, if she buys maids and comes back, they are not sensible, and they still don't chew the root of their tongues? ”
Qian Wanxiu thought of the three thousand taels of silver and nodded, "That's what I said!" You've made a decision, and I'm not going to interfere. The left and right houses are big, and we don't live often, so it's enough to buy two mothers-in-law! "She has built a house, bought clothes all year round, and wants her to do everything!?
Kong Shi nodded for a while, responded to the peace, and went to tell Pei Wenli about buying a mother-in-law.
The money in the family's private house is now with him, and he gave her ten taels of silver, and asked her to watch and buy it.
Kong picked two older ones and bought them back, and arranged to live in a low house in the backyard to cook and do housework.
The village saw that they had just buried the Chen family, so they bought servants to come back to serve, and the life was immediately extravagant, and the people in the family did not work, so they called the upper and lower people, and they all pointed and pointed, saying that Pei Wenli had obtained a large sum of silver
When Zhu heard this, he was also worried, and asked Pei Wenli privately how much silver he had gotten.
Pei Wenli only said that it was a little dowry from the Chen family, and as for the other silver, only a few dozen taels of silver funeral expenses given by the Qian family were almost used. He was going to use the money to buy a few books and pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, keep filial piety at home, devote himself to research, and also set a reliable family affair for Pei Wenbo.
Zhu felt like a cat scratching in his heart, but he couldn't ask. asked Qian Wanxiu, she also said that it was only a few dozen taels of silver funeral expenses, and nothing else. Otherwise, the money housekeeper can't run away to buy murderous lives, and Pei Qin's little slut will never let go of her father!
Families are starting to prepare for the New Year.
Pei Wendong came back with a letter, saying that he couldn't come back before the year, and he was spending the New Year with Xiao Yong and Alan Chang outside, and he also brought things to the family. Everyone has it, and Jiu'er is even more of a bunch, eating and playing.
The most in it is dim sum, two large boxes of abalone snails with bones, and two large boxes of durian crisp.
Durian crisp is not unusual, bone-in abalone snail is known as a dim sum holy product, it is difficult to buy with money, and it is a treasure that is extremely loved by major noble families.
Pei Qin ate it was just like that, she had eaten enough cream and cheese. She thought the durian crisp was very good, and even ate a few pieces.
Pei Qian and Jiu'er both like it, especially Jiu'er, she killed one of the two big boxes herself.
"Eldest sister!?" Pei Qian looked at the empty box and called Pei Qin.
Looking at her eyes, the corners of Pei Qin's mouth twitched slightly, "I won't do it!" ”
Pei Qian looked at her with a look of 'how she is a mother', "Jiu'er likes to eat!" Then he turned his head to Jiu'er and said, "Your mother can make bone-in abalone snails." ”
"Mother, do it!" Jiu'er immediately said.
"Mother won't!" Pei Qin's face darkened.
"Mother's Club!" Jiu'er firmly believes.
"Mother won't! Your aunt will! Pei Qin told her seriously.
Jiu'er immediately turned to Pei Qian, "Auntie~"
Pei Qian gave the eldest sister a fierce look.
Pei Qin smiled, "I'll go milk the goat with you!" ”
The three of them packed up and were about to go out, when Zhang Gengshan came over with a strange expression, "There is a young master Zhang outside the door..." ”
