When the magistrate heard that Li Yi still had the credentials in his hand, he immediately said to him: "Present it to this official щwwlā∷,"

He proudly stepped forward and handed the package to the magistrate.

The magistrate opened it and saw that it was indeed a man's headscarf, clothes, pants, shoes and socks.

He said to the mad woman in displeasure, "Bold woman, these things were found in your house?" ”

The crazy woman glanced back at the meat bun outside, and the meat bun nodded silently at her.

She looked up and said to the magistrate: "Lord Hui, yes, these things were all found in my house." ”

The magistrate was furious, he slapped the startled wood heavily and said, "What a chaste martyr, since you are a widow, how can there be these men's clothes in the room?" You still dare to come here to make blatant false accusations and disturb this county, probably because you are copying your hands and asking about things, and you are unwilling to recruit them, and you will pull down and slap your mouth hard! ”

The mad woman was shocked, and she thought: If I am beaten in this hall, I will not be able to talk about this grievance, and what face will I have to see the local people? It's not just me, even my father and mother don't have the face to live here anymore, it's better for me to die, and when I die, there must be a puppet in the county government to inspect my body.

The madwoman knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "My lord, you don't have to be tortured first, the little woman has something to say." ”

The magistrate said: "Okay, you speak!" ”

The mad woman said, "After I was widowed, there were no men in the courtyard, and if you don't believe me, you can ask the people who sleep with me in my room." ”

The magistrate was stunned: "Who is sleeping with you?" Say it. ”

The crazy woman said: "It's my child's nurse, Li Erniang." ”

The magistrate ordered Li Erniang to be brought to the hall for questioning.

His subordinates quickly brought Li Erniang to the hall.

She knelt down in the hall and said, "Tell me, my lord, the little woman has kowtowed to you." ”

Zhixian took a look at this Li Erniang, she was in her thirties, with a beautiful appearance, a plump figure, and beautiful clothes.

The magistrate said: "Li, a naked man ran out of your second young grandmother's room, you must know about this matter, and tell the truth from the beginning!" ”

Li Erniang glanced at the crazy woman with an embarrassed face.

Then he said, "My lord, the little woman really doesn't know about this...... That day, I went home on leave, and I was not in the second young grandmother's room. ”

The magistrate observed the words and knew that this Li Erniang must not be telling the truth.

So he said sharply: "Full of nonsense! Can you, a nurse, take a leave of absence and go home? You're gone, what about the kid? Do you want to starve him for a day? ”

Li Erniang was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she said: "Adult, don't be angry, there is a hidden relationship in this." ”

She turned back to the crazy woman and said, "Second young grandmother, now that I'm in court, I can't lie and be partial, I have to tell the truth, don't blame me." ”

The mad woman said categorically: "You can say it, as long as you tell the truth." ”

Li Erniang said: "My lord, here's the thing, the little woman's house is on West Street, not far from Li's house, my mother-in-law was seriously ill that day, I want to go home to visit, but I'm afraid I can't leave." So the second young grandmother said to me: Don't you take leave and go home to see your mother-in-law? I said: I think about it in my heart, but Nian'er is still young, and I can't leave the nurse, so if I go, won't the little boy Nian'er be hungry? ”

Li Erniang paused and then said: "I didn't expect that the second young grandmother was unhappy, and said that if I was willing to take leave and go home, she would give me a hundred yuan, and the little woman didn't dare to go against her wishes, so she took leave and went home." ”

After hearing this, the magistrate looked at the crazy woman and asked, "Why did you repeatedly ask her to take leave and go home, what is the reason for this?" ”

The crazy woman was silent for a while before she said slowly: "My lord, little woman, I am already a person with a thin life, how can I harm Li Erniang to be an unfilial person because of my own child, so I am bent on letting her take leave and go home to see her sick mother-in-law." ”

Zhixian didn't believe her words at all, he slapped the shocked wood heavily: "Bold Diao Min, you are talking nonsense, probably not beating you, you won't tell the truth, come on, pull down and slap your mouth!" ”

The crazy woman thought to herself: When I am beaten by him and die again, I will not be able to tell the truth, it is better to die in the hall now to prove my innocence.

She said to the magistrate: "My lord, don't be angry, the little woman has a reluctant request." ”

The magistrate pressed down angrily and said, "You speak! ”

The mad woman said with a desolate face: "After I die, I beg my lord to let me examine my body to show my innocence, I hope that my lordship and princess, after I die, if the adult does not test, so that my death is not clear, and the children of the adults will suffer such retribution from me." ”

After she finished speaking, she pulled out the steel knife in her hand, and raised her hand to kill herself in the lobby.

The magistrate couldn't stop it if he wanted to, but fortunately, he didn't know who threw a stone from the outside and hit her palm, so that as soon as her hand was released, the steel knife fell to the ground.

The messengers quickly put away the steel knife to prevent her from doing anything more to kill herself.

Others don't know who the person who threw the stone to save the crazy woman is, but the empty little monk knows that it is none other than the meat bun.

Standing outside the lobby, she saw the madwoman trying to kill herself, and quickly knocked down the steel knife.

The magistrate saw that the crazy woman was really strong, and he was helpless.

"Someone comes, put her in prison first, and leave the court."

Everyone was a little surprised to see that the plaintiff was detained and the other two defendants were safe and sound.

Some people even said: These are just the words that the second young grandmother of the Li family was unwilling to be suspended, and fabricated to frame Li Yuanwai.

The empty little monk looked up at the meat bun and said, "Mother, she is locked up, and I don't understand the matter, what should we do now?" ”

Rou Baozi thought for a while and said, "I think this nurse Li Erniang is not telling the truth, let's follow her after a while and see if we can find some clues from her." ”

Li Erniang quickly walked out of the court, and she hurriedly walked home with her head down in a panic.

Meat bun and Xiao Likong followed her all the way.

When she arrived at her door, Roubaozi saw an old man bowing his head and cleaning the courtyard.

Seeing that her body is very hard and ruddy, she doesn't look like she has just recovered from a serious illness.

"Mother-in-law, stop sweeping, let's go into the house." Li Erniang seemed to be worried that she would be seen, so she hurriedly let her into the house.

"Mother, didn't she say that her mother-in-law was seriously ill, so she was in a hurry to take leave and go home that day? She lied, and you see her mother-in-law doesn't look sick at all. ”

Meat Baozi nodded and said, "That's right, there is something strange about this woman, and when we take a look, maybe we can learn the truth of the matter from her." ”

That night, when everyone was already asleep, Li Erniang opened the door and quietly slipped out.

Looking at her sneaky appearance, maybe she was going to do something bad.

Meat Bun and Xiao Ran followed her to a small thatched hut.

I saw her light a candle in the thatched hut, and then sat down with a lot of heart.

Soon after she sat down, a man came, and he had a large package in his hand, and he couldn't see what it was.

Li Erniang smiled and asked, "Have you brought everything?" Then let's divide it, okay, I have half of it. ”
