Zhishu didn't dare to make a mistake, and silently followed Sun Xu and Sun Zhengping to the hall of Dali Temple to hear the trial.

Sun Yaozu's face was bruised, he was wearing a gray cloth shirt, and he was staggered and pushed out of the back hall by the yacha.

"Son——!" When Sun Xu saw Sun Yaozu's appearance, it was like seeing a ghost. It's only been a few days, how did it become like this?

Sun Xu forgot for a while, and was about to pounce on him when he cried, but was stopped by the yacha, "Wu Na mother-in-law! While staying. Disrupt the court, be careful with the board! ”

Sun Zhengping hurriedly grabbed Sun Xu's and whispered: "Official, here, do you dare to make trouble?" Your cousin has kicked you out, what do you want? ”

Sun Xu was deflated all of a sudden, rubbed his hands and stood aside, looking at Sun Yaozu with tears in his eyes.

Sun Yaozu saw his father, mother, and Zhishu, and stretched his neck to look behind them, "Where is Xue'er?" Mother, why didn't Cher come to pick me up? ”

Sun Xu slapped his thigh and cried: "Don't worry about that slut." Those two sisters are not good things, and when she saw that you were caught in the yamen, she ran away! ”

Sun Yaozu said angrily: "How can this be? Didn't my mother make it clear to her that there would be no other woman in my life? ”

The yacha who was holding Sun Yaozu on the side suddenly burst out laughing.

Sun Yaozu's face turned red, he glared at the yacha hatefully, and continued to ask Sun Xu, "Mother, you go and find Xue'er." You say I miss her very much, and I only have her in my heart. - She will come. ”

Zhishu lowered his head and quietly rubbed behind Sun Xu.

The temple in the hall slapped the hall and shouted: "The trial is the case! You're noisy. What is the intention? ”

The yacha hurriedly kicked Sun Yaozu's leg crookedly.

Sun Yaozu knelt down with a thud.

Sicheng pretended to ask, "Who is kneeling?" ”

Sun Yaozu arched his hand and said: "The lower official Sun Yaozu is the doctor of Taichang Temple. ”

Si Cheng sneered and said, "Sun Yaozu, before you became an official, your family property was less than thirty taels of silver. After becoming an official, the annual salary is only 25 taels of silver, and the material is 75 stones, and you have been an official for less than two years, how did you buy 2,000 acres of fertile land? - Someone accused you of being greedy for ink and land, what do you say? ”

Sun Yaozu had no choice but to shout that he was wronged and said, "My lord is Mingjian." Although Xia Guan did not have so much silver. But Du Shi, the wife of the lower official. but there is a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver. She volunteered to take out the silver and buy a field with me, and I may ask your lordship if there is any law in Daqi. Can't a wife use a marrying husband to buy a land? ”

Naji shook his head and took out a letter from the desk. said: "Dare to quibble?! - I have here Du's handwritten statement. said that her dowry of 100,000 taels of silver tickets had been recovered, and she was penniless. How do you explain that? ”

Sun Yaozu was taken aback, raised his head and said, "My lord, this is impossible." Obviously, my mother and I took Du's dowry money to buy the land, if it wasn't for her sister to pick her up, she wouldn't know that we used her dowry. Later, her sister sent people over and over again to ask us for the twelve thousand taels of silver. ”

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a burst of laughter in the hall.

Sun Xu and Sun Zhengping's faces were flushed, and they lowered their heads to the ground, eager to plug their ears so that they didn't have to hear those ugly gossip.

"Tut, Dr. Taichangsi, stealing his wife's dowry to buy a field, and writing his own name, it's really shameless!"

"What is this? Don't you see that people are still ashamed to say it in court? Tsk, growing into a little white face is taking advantage. You can marry a woman with 100,000 taels of dowry without a penny. If I marry such a woman, I will surely offer her three incense sticks a day, three times in the morning, noon and three times in the evening. ”

"You'd better reincarnate and start again. Look at you like a pig butcher, you have to be upside down before someone is willing to marry you......"

The idlers watching in the hall burst into laughter again, and Sun Yaozu's face was also hot when he heard it.

But he couldn't care about it, and he didn't want to go back to that hellish cell when he died. - Du Hengxue, you slut, it is because of you that I suffered this crime. When I go back, I won't toss you to death......

Sun Yaozu was ruthless in his heart, and hurriedly kowtowed to the temple in the hall and said: "Ask your lord Xuan Du to come and confront him on the spot, and you will know what is going on with this money." ”

That temple has been advised by the two powerful forces of the Zhuguo Marquis Mansion and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, where will Xuan Du Hengxue come over to confront him? He didn't even dare to accept the black money, and said in shock: "What kind of quality?" Isn't it more useful to have Du's handwritten statement here than to speak in the vernacular? - Sun Yaozu, don't use words to quibble, say, where did your money come from?! ”

Sun Yaozu and Sun Xu were both drenched in cold sweat, and they both had a bad guess in their hearts.

When Du Hengshuang asked Du Hengxue's dowry to leave, he didn't even ask for a note. They had already made up their minds to pay their debts. You said you only got 88,000 taels back, but I said you had already taken all the 100,000 taels, what can you do with me? ——I can't come up with any evidence to prove that our Sun family still owes Du Hengxue the dowry silver.

But now, this good plan has turned out to be a stone that lifts a stone to shoot at their own feet, and they are dizzy, and they will soon have their heads broken and bleed......

Is this a coincidence, or is Du Hengshuang deliberately yin them? - Of course, none of them thought that Du Hengxue did this. With Du Hengxue's weak and kind nature, they didn't think that Du Hengxue would do such a thing.

Yes, it must be Du Hengshuang's handiwork.

"What about the evidence? Where's the proof? The temple asked loudly.

Sun Yaozu lowered his head heavily. At the beginning, if he had left a note, it would have been better for Du Hengxue to draw a bet.

It's just that he forgot that at that time, he didn't think about paying back the money at all, so he pretended to be a troublemaker, and didn't mention a word at that time.

The result is that the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

"Hah! No evidence! The temple knocked on the shocking wood again, and judged: "First, there is Sun Yaozu, a doctor of Taichang Temple, who is greedy for ink and occupies the land, and the amount is huge, in addition to confiscating the land, the Ministry of Officials has assessed that Sun Yaozu's fame will be removed, and he will never be hired." ”

When Sun Yaozu heard this, his eyes were dark, and he almost didn't faint.

Sun Xu screamed and pounced, patting Sun Yaozu's back and crying.

The temple Cheng said: "Second, Sun Yaozu was convicted of embezzlement of ink, and his wife Du Hengxue was sentenced to Sun Yaozu's righteousness. As he spoke, he threw out a righteous verdict and asked Sun Yaozu to sign it.

Sun Yaozu couldn't believe his ears, he was stunned for a long time, and said angrily: "I won't sign!" - If you want to be separated from me, there is no door! Deep down, he felt endless fear. He no longer has a reputation, he can't do without Du Hengxue anymore. No, it must not be......

Na Si Cheng sneered: "Listen well, people are going to fight you!" - Heli, you are also worthy? As he spoke, he lowered his face and instructed the yacha on the side: "Let Sun Yaozu draw a charge!" ”

The yacha next to Sun Yaozu came over, one pressed Sun Yaozu's neck, one pressed his fingers, took the red ink, and asked him to draw a charge on the book of righteousness.

The yacha sent the calligraphy of the painting to the temple.

Si Cheng was very happy, so he simply made enough favors, and ordered someone to take the letter of righteousness and go to the household department to withdraw the marriage registration of Sun Yaozu and Du Hengxue. In this way, the marriage between the two was completely dissolved. Since then, on the household registration of the Sun family, Du Hengxue's name has been crossed out from the Sun family. Then he ordered someone to draw a righteous book drawn by Sun Yaozu and send it to the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion.

After the painting, Sicheng forced Sun Yaozu to hand over the title deed of 2,000 acres of land to confiscate, otherwise he would be sentenced to three years in prison.

As soon as Sun Yaozu thought of the hellish cell and those fierce prisoners, he was immediately deflated and forced Sun Xu to take out the title deed and hand it over to Sicheng.

After the temple verified that it was correct, Sun Yaozu was released in court.

Walking out of Dali Temple, the four members of the Sun family were like rats crossing the street, spurned by the idlers watching the hall, and left here in a gloomy manner.

"Mother, let's go home first, I'll take a shower, change my clothes, and then go find Xue'er." Sun Yaozu still didn't give up, and wanted to save Du Hengxue.

Sun Xu cried and said: "Our house was sold by Du Hengshuang, and we now live in the inn. ”

Sun Yaozu said angrily: "Then go to the inn." I stink, how can I see Cher like this? ”

Sun Xu remembered Du Hengxue's death heart for Sun Yaozu in the past, and a glimmer of hope also rose.

After all, for them, today's Du Hengxue has become their best choice.

Sun Yaozu was removed from his fame and never hired, and Xu Shao refused to help their Sun family anymore, indicating that Sun Yaozu's career had been completely cut off.

For more than 20 years, the only thing Sun Yaozu can do is study, then take exams and become an official.

Now he can't take the imperial examination, nor can he be an official, and his condition is not as good as a picky man.

The foot-picking man can at least support his wife and children, but Sun Yaozu can't pick his shoulders, can't lift his hands, and if he is not with Du Hengxue, he will only be poor for the rest of his life.

Zhishu knows more about Du Hengxue, and Zhilu Dao, the second lady, although she is simple and kind on weekdays, she used to be dead set on Sun Yaozu, but once she made up her mind, she was lonely and refused to turn back, so she said timidly: "Uncle can write well, it is better to sell words on the street for a living, and you can earn a lot of silver." ”

Sun Xu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, my son has been reading for so many years, even if he can't be an official, sell words, or go to a restaurant, he can have food and clothing without worry." ”

Sun Yaozu pondered for a long time, but still said: "I still want to see if I can persuade Xue'er to change her mind." If she can come back, we won't have to worry about anything. - Even the official, I did it. ”

Sun Xu and Sun Zhengping discussed for a long time and felt that they could give it a try. After all, Du Hengxue was also stubborn once, with her feelings for Sun Yaozu, maybe Sun Yaozu begged a few more times, and she would change her mind......
