Chapter 46: Please Stop

Because of the impact yesterday, Mrs. Cheng didn't sleep all night, held the Taiping Sutra in the scripture hall and recited it for a night, and this morning she personally took the car to the Xuanmiao Temple to worship, although she didn't see Sun Guan Lord A little regretful, but she felt much better.

By the time I stepped into the house, it was past lunchtime.

“… Don't do it, boil a little drink for me, I'll sleep for a while after eating, and eat it together at night. ”

Mrs. Cheng walked and instructed the servant.

The servant woman replied.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw two servant women walking out with a few cases.

This was only replaced yesterday, and Mrs. Cheng was stunned.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"The master said, this, it's not very good, let me go to the warehouse and pick another one." The servant woman bowed her head and said.

Mrs. Cheng frowned and saw that the servant woman was hiding her words, she let out a breath and waved her hand to stop asking, and walked into the hall.

The hall mileage master is still pacing back and forth, and there are traces of tea stains on the ground.

Yesterday's events were really infuriating.

disobedient and ran out to live by himself, took the money to build a house, and disobeyed in public, and there was a second room, which was really unfortunate for the family!

Mrs. Cheng sighed, but with the blessing of a real person, she is much calmer today.

"Master, forget it, don't be angry." She stepped forward and said, "She can mess around as much as she wants, throw away the money, and build the house with her, what else can she make trouble, and send it out next month, and the world will be able to see what we do to her, and those discussions will disperse by themselves." ”

What else can be made of it?

If you don't mention it, the anger that Master Cheng suppressed when he mentioned it is rubbing again.

"What else can she make a fuss about? You're underestimating her! He said, and then went on. I saw a few people running in in a hurry outside the door.

"Sir, sir."

Mrs. Cheng also turned her head to look. He looked a little surprised.

Why did several shopkeepers in this house come at this time?

"Ma'am." Several people hurriedly gathered their feet and saluted.

Mrs. Cheng's gaze fell on two of them. Sneered.

"Why did you two come to me too? Don't you rush to deliver the account books and harvest to the second lady? She said.

The two heads of the village turned red and lowered their heads.

"Ma'am, something is wrong," they stammered.

"Something's wrong?" Mrs. Cheng interrupted them and laughed even more, "Come to us if something happens?" If nothing happens, go and give good things to others? ”

"Don't you and me, you and I are also a family, and now these are going to become someone else's family! What are you talking about! Master Cheng shouted.

Mrs. Cheng was stunned.

"How? Is the person tied? Give me a half-dead shot and send me to the capital. Master Cheng ignored her anymore and asked.

Lin Jiu bowed his head.

"Nope. No. He said.

Master Cheng was furious.

"Rubbish! Can't so many of you beat a few of them outsiders! As he spoke, he walked out, "What a piece of shit." I can't count on you, I'll go personally! ”

Everyone hurriedly stopped.

"Master, they went to the official mansion." Lin Jiu said.

Feudal official?

"Do they dare the wicked to sue first?" Master Cheng shouted angrily.

"No, no, I said I went to turn myself in and confess my guilt." Lin Jiu said that he also felt awkward to say it.

Surrender and plead guilty?

Master Cheng was a little stunned.

What sin did you confess to first?

At the same time, the officials of Jiangzhou Mansion are also confused.

"You're going to turn yourself in and confess?" He asked, looking at the name of the case again.

Only then did the little official come in with a name post, saying that someone wanted to sue the case, and it was Gui Delang Zhou's family, and the pusher who only came here last year was panicked and wanted to get up to greet him.

Gui Tokuro was a military general, but he was also a Beijing official. actually wanted to sue the case, but something happened in Jiangzhou Mansion.

The old man beside him stopped him.

"Adults don't need to panic. This Gui Delang is not a living person in our Jiangzhou Mansion. He laughed, "There won't be anything going on, it's just a dispute between relatives." ”

On the one hand, he told the history of the Zhou family and the Cheng family.

"When the Zhou family's lady was mourning, the Zhou family and the Cheng family beat the chickens and dogs, and each had to come forward in the house, but how could this kind of thing come forward, just don't see it." The old official said.

The pusher nodded, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that this time it must be because of something to make trouble again, adults will see you later, just hum and respond." The old official said.

Unexpectedly, the people of the Zhou family came in, and instead of putting on a hang-off to scold and force them to uphold justice, he said that he had committed a crime of beating someone and asked to be punished.

Is it a bitter ploy?

The magistrate and the old official glanced at each other.

"As the saying goes, the son does not say the fault of the father, even if the father is wrong, he should not make noise, let alone fight, this time in order to fight for the dowry of the little lady, he should have either admonished or asked the government to decide, but we hurt people impulsively." Steward Cao stood at the foot of the hall, his expression was solemn, and he did not have the condescension of the Jingguan family at all, but with a little humility, while giving a salute, "As a subordinate, our behavior is the behavior of the little lady in the eyes of outsiders, and it is our fault that the lady is so trapped in injustice, so please punish the adult." ”

Is that so?

The official looked complicated, but the old official on the side squinted, as if he had grasped a little meaning in this sentence, but he was not sure.

"Then since you know that you are wrong, and it is a family matter, the official doesn't care, and you can decide it yourself." The magistrate said.

Steward Cao bowed and saluted.

"Justify and admit punishment, and we must also strive for it if we are reasonable." He said, "At this time, it is no longer a family matter, so we should confess our guilt, but we should also ask for it." ”

"What do you ask for?" The magistrate asked with a frown.

"My lord, my little lady wants to ask the government to determine her mother's dowry." Steward Cao raised his head and said.

The pusher sat up straight in surprise, and the old official on the side finally understood Fang Cai's own doubts and fought for the dowry for the little lady! It turns out that this kind of dispute is not a verbal dispute, they actually want to decide the dowry through the government.

"The son does not say anything about the father, and it is a great crime of disobedience for the child to sue the elder in court, but now there is really no way out." Steward Cao said, while saluting again, "I hope your lordship will forgive you." ”

As he saluted, he reached forward and pushed a piece of paper.

Seeing the paper pushed, the eyes of the pusher and the old official narrowed.

They have long been sharp-eyed, and they recognize this as a flying ticket at a glance.

If a child sues his father, the government will not accept it, and it is light to send it out, but if it involves family property, then there is room for negotiation.

As for this room for negotiation, it is all in the hands of the officials.

The pusher looked at the man who was kneeling and saluting, and then looked at the money pushed in front of him, and he understood everything in his heart.

The bullshit turned himself in and pleaded guilty, this is to spend money to sue!

But to pick up or not to answer? After all, the Cheng family is a big family in Jiangzhou Mansion, and now the Cheng family's main house is even richer, and the second master Cheng is still an official.

Although the Zhou family is a Beijing official, the status is not inferior to the Cheng family, but first, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and secondly, it is related to family property.

"My mother is about to get married, and my mother died early and can't send it in person, so I want the world to see the dowry left by her mother, so that the world knows that her mother is not a mother in vain, but the relatives in the clan take advantage of her dowry, which is really related." Steward Cao said again.

It's so nice, it's not for the money....

The official frowned in contemplation and did not speak, and the old official's eyes flickered on the side.

"It's not about greedy for money, it's about fighting for his mother." Steward Cao said again.

When these words came out, the eyes of the magistrate and the old official stopped flickering and lit up.

Steward Cao never looked at the expressions of these two people, kept his head humbly, and after saying this, he took out a few more pieces of paper and pushed them over.

"This is our Zhou family's dowry list and documents, and I hope your lordship will see it."

"Sir, sir."

The housekeeper of the Cheng family ran in with a panicked face, because he couldn't help him because his hat was crooked.

"How? Have you made inquiries clearly? Master Cheng got up and asked hurriedly.

Mrs. Cheng, who was kneeling in front of a few cases and holding the Taiping Sutra in the room, also stopped for a moment and listened attentively to what was being said.

"Inquire clearly." The housekeeper gasped and said, "I really went to the government and was put in prison......

Master Cheng sat down with a strange expression.

"Are they crazy?" He asked.

The butler shook his head.

"Master, they're not crazy, they've sued us." He then hurriedly said, "The little official in the cell secretly told me that the people of the Zhou family said that Cheng Niangzi handed over the letter and wanted to sue our family for embezzling her mother's dowry, and asked the government to investigate and judge!" ”

What the? I handed it over! Please cut off the dowry!

Master Cheng sat up, looking incredulous.

Mrs. Cheng also sat up in the room, looking at the scriptures in her hand, and felt that she couldn't stop her heart from being numb if she read it again.

What else is there to make a fuss about? turned out to be a fuss about the dowry, and it wasn't much of a fuss compared to running away and spending 10,000 yuan indiscriminately.

Can't even a real immortal stop this fool?
