When Shi Gongzi saw Ning Kawaii's overwhelmed appearance, he thought that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly interjected.

"My lord, if you don't believe it, you can call her mother to interrogate, they really accepted the dowry from the grass people, and those silver tickets were not given by the grass people, wronged, my lord, the grass people don't know anything about this matter!"

The county official pursed his eyes and shouted, "Chuan Ning's clan—"

Before long, Ning's mother was brought up by the yamen and knelt in the court.

"The folk woman Ning Shi meets the adult."

Her expression was very flustered, and she looked like she had done something wrong.

"Ning, do you recognize this person in the hall, have you ever received a dowry from him?"

"Back to my lord, the people's eyes are not good, I want to take a look."

Ning Mu turned her eyes and looked at the person kneeling next to her, and was suddenly startled, and said with palpitations: "Who is this thing?" ”

As soon as the words came out, the audience burst into laughter.

Shi Gongzi, who was annoyed and angry, scolded angrily: "This son is a human, how can you say that it is a thing? ”

"Your face is uglier than what Xiao Ming drew at the head of the village." Mother Ning said with disgust.

The county magistrate added another mystery to his heart, and the master, who was in charge of recording the case, paused to write.

"You don't recognize this person?"

"I don't know, the folk woman has never seen such an ugly person." Mother Ning said bluntly.

"If you haven't seen him, why would Shi Qianlang keep saying that you accepted a dowry from his family and wanted to marry your daughter to him."

The county official was very dignified today, and Ning's mother didn't dare to speak, so she had to report the truth to the truth.

"Back to my lord, the Shi Gongzi that the woman saw was not this one, if the woman knew that he was so ugly, even if he had money in the family, the woman would not marry her daughter to him!"

She spoke from the bottom of her heart.

"Who do you say is ugly? My son is dignified, generous and decent, and the fortune teller also said that I was born to attract wealth, and I am a fortune boy who can make money every day, saying that this son is ugly, and I don't know what to look at. ”

After speaking, Shi Gongzi also glanced at Ning's mother.

"Shi Qianlang, what the hell is going on?" The county magistrate asked.

"Back to the adult, it may be that when the grass people sent someone to hire, the Ning family mistook the little guy as the grass people." Shi Gongzi said humbly.

"This official understands, this whole thing is a misunderstanding."

"Not a misunderstanding."

Ning Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and looked at the county official, with a little contempt in her eyes.

"Lord County Official, since there are all the human and physical evidence, Lord Ben doesn't understand, why do you still have to listen to Shi Qianlang's words, do you also suspect that Lord Ben spent money to find someone to fabricate evidence?"

"Lord Ning is angry, Xia Guan doesn't mean this."

The county official looked at Ning Xiaoxiao, who was younger than him, and was humble on the surface, but in fact, he was already dissatisfied.

"If all this is not a misunderstanding, no matter whether Shi Qianlang hired someone to cheat the dowry back, it is a fact that the Ning family accepted the dowry, and if the daughter of the Ning family refuses to marry, then Ning Kawai is a cheating marriage."

His words, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, directly slashed at Ning Lovely body.

How so?

She is an upright and kind, peaceful and good little catcher.

Why, today's county magistrate would say that she is a villain who cheats on marriage?

The stunned wood was slapped again, as if it was slapped on her face.

"Ning cute, this official asks you, are you willing to go on a sedan chair to marry Shi Qianlang?" The county magistrate asked loudly.

"What should I do, big brother?"

Ning Lovely desperately shook the stunned Ning Xiaoxiao, and begged for help in fear.

"My lord, the dowry is received by the people's women, and the people are the people's women who admit their mistakes, if you want to catch the lock, just catch the people's women, don't be embarrassed for my daughter, she doesn't know anything."

Ning's mother knelt on the ground, bowing to the county magistrate, crying and begging, her forehead hit the ground, and every time she made a dull thumping sound.

However, the tragic scene in front of him did not move the man who was inferior to the beast, he grinned frantically and gloated happily:

"Lord Qingtian is wise, he should treat their Ning family, a crime of cheating money and marriage, let them accept the dowry of Lord Ben, and in turn falsely accuse the grass people, wait, even if my Shi Qianlang is going to prison, your daughter will be my Shi Qianlang's concubine and be a widow for the rest of her life."

In the face of the aggressive Shi Qianlang, Ning Cute lowered her hand weakly, and the silence of the eldest brother didn't tell her that all this was done and there was no way out?

"Go back to the county official, the people's daughter, don't marry."

After that, the relieved Ning Lovely reached out to help her mother, looked at the tearful face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, even if my daughter wants to become a prisoner, he will not become a bad person when the sun rises. ”

Tears have long been flowing inexhaustibly.

"Daughter, mother's good daughter, it's mother... I'm sorry for you. Ning's mother, who couldn't cry, hugged her tightly and cried out with remorse.

ushered in the ruthless sentence of the county official:

"The prisoner would rather be cute and cheat on marriage and money, according to Wanqiong's law, but anyone who cheats on marriage needs to get a tattoo on his face, and those who cheat money need to be imprisoned for ten years.

The sentence 'waiting for the implementation of the official document of the Criminal Department' was extremely harsh to Ning Xiaoxiao's ears.

He patronized to collect evidence to prove that Shi Qianlang cheated on marriage, but he forgot the most important point, his mother did accept the dowry first.

"My lord, she didn't cheat on her marriage."

A clear voice sounded from behind the onlookers, and everyone looked back in surprise, and a handsome man in a light blue robe slowly walked forward and came to the public court.

"In the lower eastern Quanyue, with meritorious fame, please be exempted from the bow of the bow."

"Although the bow of worship can be avoided, but you have just interrupted the court, if there is no reasonable explanation, the official can beat you with 20 boards and punish you for the crime of disturbing the court." The county magistrate was dissatisfied.

"Lord Hui, there is no nonsense in the next, she is the junior sister in the next, and she has accepted the dowry and the woman who has made a private decision for life in the next." Dongfang Quanyue said with a serious expression.

Hearing this, the two mothers and sons looked at Dongfang Quanyue in a daze, and their moist eyes seemed to be rekindled.

"Dongfang Quanyue, do you have any credentials for what you said?" The county magistrate asked aloud.

"Back to my lord, the dowry is in the hands of my junior sister, as long as she takes it out, everything will be revealed."

Dongfang Quanyue squatted down, gently took Ning Kawai's hand, and smiled.

"Senior sister, why don't you hurry up and take out the dowry gift that Senior Brother gave you?"

"Dowry?" Ning Lovely raised her hand, blocked the corners of her mouth, and whispered, "Third Senior Brother, Senior Sister, have I ever received that kind of thing?" ”

"Of course there is, take it out."

Dongfang Quanyue's voice was like a spell, Ning Lovely felt that there was suddenly a ball of things in her palm, she lowered her head and unfolded the thing in her palm, which happened to be a title deed worth 300,000 taels of gold.

"Returning to my lord, my junior sister has already accepted the title deed as a dowry, this is the Dongfang family's other courtyard in Minghua Kingdom, with a market value of 300,000 taels of gold, my Dongfang family is also a famous family in Minghua, let me ask, how could she covet only 6,000 taels and marry someone who is unwilling to marry, are you right, my lord?"

Facing the pleasant Dongfang Quanyue, the county official added a little favor.

"What you said is not unreasonable, since the daughter of the Ning family accepted your dowry first, it is impossible to marry two people at the same time, Ning's mother accepted the dowry without knowing it, it is really a misunderstanding, as long as the dowry is returned and the marriage contract is dissolved."

"Master Xie."

The Ning family was so happy that they almost screamed.

"No, my lord, as the so-called parents' orders matchmaker said, they make a private decision for life, and there is no matchmaker, how can they be accurate?"

Shi Gongzi was in a hurry, he thought that if the peony flower died, it would be romantic to be a ghost, even if he died, he would have to pull someone back.

"Your Excellency, he's right." Ning Xiaoxiao nodded, "Without the order of my parents, I really don't count, but the dowry was accepted by my mother privately, and my father never agreed to this family affair, so without the order of my parents, the name on the marriage book is not written by my sister, and the stamped marriage book is not counted." ”

He slowly walked in front of Shi Qianlang's eyes, and said with a squint: "In this way, there is neither the order of the parents, nor the words of the matchmaker, my mother has no idea about the little sister receiving dowries from other families, that is to say, my mother and she are at best, just collecting those things for the Shi family." ”

Since it has all been said about this, the county official can't help but nod.

"It is reasonable, this official pronounced the verdict, the Ning family only needs to return the dowry to the Shi family, as for you, Shi Qianlang, originally you hired someone to defraud Ning's mother, intending to deceive the dowry back, such evil deeds, the crime is added to the first degree, in view of the fact that the Ning family does not admit this family business, what you cheated back is the money that belongs to your Shi family, this matter ends here, and I will not pursue it."

As soon as the words fell, Ning Lovely instantly relieved her mouth and looked at Ning Xiaoxiao with tears in her eyes.

"Big brother, do you mean that I can continue to do fast fishing without a tattoo on my face?"

"That's right, my little sister can continue to hoe the strong and help the weak, and punish the evil and punish the adulterous." Ning Xiaoxiao touched her head with relief, feeling very lucky.

Dongfang Quanyue looked at Ning Xiaoxiao and asked suspiciously:

"In the future, can Izumi call you, future brother-in-law?"

Ning Xiaoxiao was stunned and said with a smile: "Of course you can, in the future, my little sister will ask you." ”

"Thank you, brother-in-law in the future."

Mother Ning looked at this future son-in-law with satisfaction, and kept praising in her mouth, "The more this spring is, the better it is, the taller the person, the more handsome and handsome it looks like it's a match made in heaven with the cuteness of our family." ”

"The most important thing is that people are willing to give a title deed of 300,000 taels of gold as a dowry, right?" Ning Xiaoxiao said in a word.

"Stinky boy, how can you say that about your mother?"

Mother Ning looked at Ning Lovely with shame, touched her daughter's hair, and said gently: "Mother doesn't dare to give you ideas anymore, this time, I almost got into trouble, in the future, you and Quan Yue will have a good time." ”

"But, mother, in fact, my senior brother and I..."

Ning Lovely just wanted to continue, but the county magistrate looked at it, and she had no choice but to swallow the words in her throat silently back into her stomach.

"Daughter, what did you just want to say?" Mother Ning looked over with concern.

"No, it's fine."

She lowered her head silently, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

"You're fine, but it's a good thing for my son!"

Shi Gongzi's harsh voice broke this long-lost warmth.

"You poor ghosts, when do you plan to return the dowry of this son?"

He looked at Mother Ning fiercely, wanting to pull up her clothes, Ning Xiaoxiao strode forward, blocked in front of his mother, and looked at Shi Gongzi condescendingly.

"Since you have cheated the dowry money back, then go to the pawnshop yourself to redeem the dowry, as a ticket, Lord Ben can give it to you!"

"How many times has this son told you, I, Shi Qianlang, have never hired anyone to do this kind of stealing chickens and dogs, do you believe it or not!"

"Huh!"

Ning Xiaoxiao stretched out her arm and blocked Shi Gongzi's way.

The other party asked suspiciously: "What, do you want to return the money to my son?" ”

"No, this official wants you to go back to the Criminal Department with me, be interrogated, and see if there is any connection with the case of the fire in the pheasant farm on the outskirts of the city. Ning Xiaoxiao said seductively.

"What, you guys are clearly communiqué personal vendettas!"

Before he could insult him, the people from the Criminal Department appeared in unison and took Shi Gongzi away.

Suddenly, Ning Xiaoxiao remembered something and hurriedly asked, "What about Chen You, didn't he come back with you?" Where did he go? ”
