Chapter 370: Trouble in court
There was a troublesome maid who said to the crazy woman: "Second young grandmother, don't pretend to be confused, this man's clothes, shoes and socks are still here, how can you deny it?" ”
The eldest grandmother asked, "Sister, what's going on?" You're not usually like that, what the hell is going on? ”
As soon as the mad woman heard these words, she felt that her internal organs were tumbling violently, and she was shaking and sweating all over.
She sighed and said, "Mother, I'm really at a loss at the moment, but this thing is definitely not what you see. ”
As they were talking, they saw Li Yi and the madwoman's father walk in.
As soon as Li Yi saw her, he said loudly: "You still don't take this shameless daughter away?" Our Li family will have nothing to do with her in the future! ”
The crazy woman was about to leave with the child in her arms, Li Yi stepped forward and snatched the child and said: "After you slut goes back, maybe you will marry Zhang San and Li Si, I don't care, but this child is my brother's flesh and blood, you don't want to take it away!" ”
When the madwoman saw that he had taken away her son, she howled and cried anxiously.
After her parents took her home, her father locked the door and threw her two things.
A steel knife and a rope.
He said to her, "You shameless disobedient woman, you have done this shameless ugly thing, die now, or else, I will bury you alive tomorrow!" ”
Her mother felt sorry for her daughter, and she was so stimulated that her eyes turned black and she fainted again.
The mad woman thought to herself: If I die like this, I will be accused of a thousand people after death, and I will be left with a stench for ten thousand years, so that I may die in the court, so that people can understand that I am innocent.
After thinking about it, he picked up a steel knife and split the window and fled.
She stumbled out of a weak woman, it was already dark, and when she walked on the road, she tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
As a result, his forehead was cut by sharp stones, and his face was bleeding all over his face, and his body was covered with mud.
By daylight, she didn't know where she had come.
I want to go to the yamen but I don't know the way to the yamen.
At this time, suddenly a pedestrian on the street pointed at her and said, "Yo, why is this woman like this?" Isn't it a madman? ”
The crazy woman thought to herself: I myself am wronged to Xue, my father wants me to die, the Li family divorced me again, and now that I am living on the streets, it is inevitable that I will encounter hooligans and bullies, so it is better to pretend to be crazy and stupid, maybe I can protect myself.
So she said in the tone of that person: "Haha, say I'm crazy, you're crazy, hahaha, I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy, I'm going to heaven, I'm going to the earth, I'm going to eat people...... Hahaha. ”
She waved the steel knife in her hand and made such a fuss that all the people on the street ran away.
Since then, everyone knows that she is a crazy woman.
The crazy woman told Meat Bun and Xiao Sora about her own affairs.
Both of them felt very uncomfortable when they heard it.
Rou Baozi had the heart to help her sue, so he helped the crazy woman write a pleadings and said to her: "Since you have the heart to sue for grievances, then you take this pleadings, and I will take you to sue the official!" ”
Meat Baozi took the crazy woman to inquire all the way, and finally knew the location of the county office.
When the mad woman came to the gate of the yamen, she saw a drum playing, but without saying a word, she picked up the drumstick and beat the drum vigorously to cry out for grievances.
The officials took her in, and the meat bun and the empty stood outside and poked their heads out to watch.
The crazy woman knelt in front of the magistrate and shouted, "Lord Qingtian, the little woman has been wronged!" ”
The magistrate glanced at her and was surprised, isn't this woman a madman in the mouth of everyone on the street?
She's not crazy now.
The magistrate asked, "Why are you wronged?" Where does the injustice come from? ”
The crazy woman said: "My lord, the little woman was the wife of Li Xuewen, the second young master of the Li family, after her husband died, the little woman was widowed at home, but a few days ago was the birthday of the eldest brother, the sky was dawning, the little woman was holding her son Nian'er in the east courtyard and was asleep, the little maid called the door, saying that it was a man who ran out of the little woman's room without clothes, my mother-in-law's brother, wrote a letter of resignation for my brother, and divorced me, my father was angry, and called the little woman to die, the little woman is not afraid of death, but as soon as I die, there will be no more snow in this matter." Therefore, I ask the master of Qingtian to be the master of the little woman and return the little woman to her innocence. ”
When the magistrate heard this, he thought to himself: "She is suing her brother-in-law, and her own father, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, so I still ignore this matter." ”
Rou Baozi saw his thoughts and immediately shouted: "If you don't handle the case, you will only collect money and food, and if you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!" ”
As soon as she shouted, several villagers around her who were watching the excitement also coaxed.
Seeing that the people were like this, the magistrate had no choice but to take the case.
He handed over two fire sticks to the official and said, "Hurry up and go to Li's house to bring Li Yi, and go and bring this woman's father as well." ”
The messenger took the fire sign and took the order and left.
Soon the messenger brought back a man, who was the father of the mad woman.
As soon as he saw her, he scolded fiercely: "Okay, you are a wicked person, you actually went to the county government to sue me down, what face will I have to live here in the future?" ”
The magistrate was shocked and said: "Kneel, now that your daughter has sued you, you have to tell the truth." ”
He was embarrassed and said, "My lord, this is ...... This is really a misfortune in the family, there is such an ugly thing, I ask the adults to save some face for the small people, so don't ask. ”
The magistrate said: "If the truth has reached the court, how can you be confused? Come on! ”
At this time, the official came to report and said: "The local squire Li Yuanwai Li Yi has already arrived. ”
The magistrate ordered him to be brought up.
It turned out that when Li Yi was taking care of housework at home, the family members outside came in and reported: "Master, master, now there is a messenger from the county government outside who is looking for you with a fire stick, it is our second young grandmother who has sued you, and they are about to take you to see the official." ”
Li Yi was furious when he heard this: "What a wicked woman, since you are shameless, then what shame am I afraid of?" ”
He wrapped the clothes, pants, shoes and socks that he had left on the outside of the madwoman's bed that day in a package, and followed the messenger to the county yamen.
After entering the Yamen court, he said: "The magistrate is above, and the filial piety Li Yi has saluted the lord." ”
It turns out that he is not only a local squire, but also a filial piety of the imperial court, and his identity is not ordinary.
When the magistrate looked at this Li Yi, he found that he was polite, dignified, with eyes like a star, a delicate complexion, and a shrewd and capable energy.
After reading it, he said to Li Yi: "Li Yi, take a closer look, who are you the woman kneeling in the hall?" ”
Li Yi glanced at the crazy woman with disdain and said: "Lord Hui, she is the wife of my deceased brother, because she has committed seven rules, she has been abandoned by me, I don't want her to be unwilling, and now she has come to the court to make false accusations, it is really unreasonable!" ”
When the magistrate heard this, he immediately asked: "You said that she violated the seven rules, do you have any evidence?" ”
Li Yi said: "My lord, I have a credential, if I don't have a credential, I don't dare to do anything in the future, she was a martyr who kept the festival, and in the evening she saw a man running out of her room, naked, without a thread on his body. And I also found the man's clothes, pants, and shoes and socks in her bed, which I had brought with me tonight. ”
