Chapter 460: Whose Fault?

Early in the morning, on the street of Chang'an City, a huge greeting team came to meet you.

"Tick tock!"

Six greeting musicians blow festive tunes, eight people carry the sedan chair with an unusual style, surrounded by rings of brocade bells with the pace of the sedan chair man, all the way to send out a pleasant bell, even passers-by can feel the joyful atmosphere.

"Mrs. Zhu, which family's marriage is this! So magnificent! In front of the greeting procession, a matchmaker who was obese but wore heavy makeup and scratched her head, and there were acquaintances on the street, who asked out loud.

Zhu Matchmaker is a well-known matchmaker in Chang'an City, but her reputation is not good, and she specializes in matchmaking for some wealthy families, and only recognizes money.

"Which one else could it be? Of course, it's Dongcheng Hu's house! Mrs. Zhu said enchantingly.

"Master Hu? Master Hu is already seventy years old, can he still marry? Passers-by laughed.

"Of course it's not Master Hu, it's Master Hu's youngest son." Mrs. Zhu pretended to be pretentious, covered her mouth and smiled.

Passers-by were surprised: "Isn't that a fool?" I heard that when I got sick, I hit people when I saw them! Even Doctor Sun couldn't cure it. ”

"Yes, whose daughter is willing to marry a fool, isn't this pushing her daughter into the fire pit?" A middle-aged woman exclaimed.

Mrs. Zhu snorted coldly and said: "What is pushed into the fire pit, the Hu family has a big business, how can you enjoy happiness if you marry into the Hu family?" ”

"You have a daughter in your family, why don't you want to marry the Hu family?" The middle-aged woman snorted coldly.

Mrs. Zhu's face suddenly stiffened, she lowered her head to hide her face, and hurriedly beckoned the welcoming team to leave.

"I'm afraid this is another arranged marriage!" Passers-by sighed.

Yesterday's ink magazine spread in Chang'an City, and everyone talked about it, but like Zhou Yan and the two families, Zhang and Liu are a minority after all, and more people can regret their marriage because of Morton's words.

There is no impermeable wall in this world, and the welcoming team has not been gone for long, and soon news will come.

In order to repay gambling debts, Han Laitou in the west of the city married his daughter to the Hu family with a bride price of 50 taels of silver.

Speaking of Han Laitou is also a legend, the Han family was originally a big family, just because Han Laitou gambled badly and lost all his family property, and then did not repent, but intensified, in order to pay off gambling debts in the early years, he even sold his wife into the Qinglou, and now he has repeated the old trick, and he actually sold his daughter to the fool of the Hu family for money.

"People like Han Laitou are really not things, they really deserve to go to hell and suffer a thousand cuts." When many people heard this, they immediately gritted their teeth and said.

Chang'an City is the imperial capital, as long as you are willing to work hard here, there is no reason not to live, and it has fallen to the point of selling his wife and daughter, which can only be said that Han Lai is a bad gambler.

When the welcoming team came to Hu Mansion by beating gongs and drums all the way, Hu Jiazi, who was dressed in a happy suit, greeted him at the door with a smirk.

In fact, according to the rules, it should be the groom who rode a tall horse to the woman's house to greet his relatives, but Hu Jiazi was too stupid to support the horse at all, so he only greeted his relatives at the door of his house.

"The auspicious time has arrived, please get off the sedan chair for the bride!" Mrs. Zhu shouted loudly.

However, Mrs. Zhu shouted three times in a row, but there was no movement in the sedan chair, and Mrs. Zhu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the sedan chair.

I saw that in the sedan chair, the daughter of the Hu family, dressed in a big red wedding dress, was already spread out in the sedan chair, and her whole body was cold.

"Dead!"

Mrs. Zhu was frightened and screamed loudly.

The guests of the Hu family immediately dispersed, and a happy event turned out to be a funeral, and the people who had already had good things quickly notified the Mo Hospital and the Yamen of Chang'an City.

Soon, the medical car from the Mexican Hospital and Cao Zhutou arrived almost at the same time.

A doctor got out of the car, felt his pulse, shook his head and sighed, "My heart has stopped, and there is no help." ”

Cao Zhutou frowned and said, "Doctor, but the cause of the death of the Han family's daughter has been found." ”

"Kill yourself by poisoning!" The doctor looked at the sedan chair and the wedding dress, and immediately understood the reason, and couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Zhu with disgust.

"It's none of my business, I'm just going to talk about the matchmaker." Mrs. Zhu said tremblingly.

Master Hu was already waiting beside him, and now that the bride is dead, the marriage has become a funeral, he took a look at a free time, and hurriedly came to Cao Li and said: "Lord Cao, this matter can be related to my Hu family, I don't have to be responsible, my Hu family does want to marry the daughter of the Han family, but this hasn't entered the door yet, so frustrating things have happened, my Hu family is still a bitter master!" Master Cao wants to be the master of my Hu family! ”

Cao Li glanced at Master Hu with disgust, if it weren't for the fact that your fool wanted to marry, how could this kind of thing happen.

"Let's wait for the Han family to come." Cao Li said angrily.

Cao Li sighed and instructed a servant: "Go to Han's house and find Han Lai's head for me, if you can't find it, go to the gambling house to find it." ”

Immediately, one of the officials took the order and left, Han Laitou was a famous gambler in Chang'an City, and the officials knew him well.

Seeing the body of the bride in the big red sedan chair, Cao Li suddenly had a headache, if it was before, this matter would naturally be easy to deal with, but now that the ink magazine has just come out, the city is full of heated discussions about buying and selling marriages, and the Hu family has no worries about openly buying and selling marriages.

And now that there is a human life, if one is not handled well, I am afraid that the people of the whole city will point their noses and scold, even Cao Li will not dare to make claims without authorization.

Master Hu wanted to say something more, but unfortunately Cao Zhutou didn't answer at all, so he had to be bored again.

"I want a daughter-in-law, I want a daughter-in-law!" Beside Master Hu, the stupid son of the Hu family kept holding Master Hu and shouting, which made people feel cold.

Soon, a servant had already escorted Han Lai's head over.

"Yu Tou Zhu, I waited to find this person in the Qingcai Gambling House, and the money from the marriage sale is almost lost." The official said hatefully.

Cao Zhutou suddenly felt a sadness in his heart, forcing his daughter to marry a fool, and gambling with the money from selling his daughter, how hateful it is for a father to go like this.

"The surname is Hu, I handed over my daughter to your Hu family, but I was forced to death by your Hu family, how do you say to compensate!" When Han Laitou saw his daughter's corpse, he wailed a few times, and he was bent on wanting the Hu family to lose money.

"Compensation, your daughter hasn't stepped through the door of my Hu family yet, how can we force her to die, you still want the Hu family to compensate, and the Hu family still wants to sue you for cheating the bride price?" Master Hu shouted angrily.

The two ignored the corpse of the Han family girl lying on the street, one insisted that he had married the Hu family and was forced to death by the Hu family, and the other thought that he had not passed the gate of the Hu family, the wedding had not been completed, and the marriage contract was invalid, so they were unwilling to let the body of the Han family girl be pulled back.

"Everyone is dead, and you are still here to shirk your responsibilities and only talk about money!" Cao Li rebuked angrily.

"It's not my fault!" Master Hu, Han Laitou, and Mrs. Zhu shouted one by one.

Cao Li was also suddenly embarrassed, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, he really had no way to take the three of them.

"Since you have a grievance and have nowhere to appeal, then let Mo administer justice for you!" The crowd suddenly parted, and Merton stepped out of the crowd.

"Mo Jiazi!"

In the crowd, there was an exclamation.

The three of them suddenly seemed to see a savior, and pointed at Mo Dun in unison and said, "It's all the fault of the Mo family." ”

"My daughter loves face the most, if it weren't for your article, how could my daughter commit suicide. You give my daughter back! Han Laitou saw Mo Dun, and cried and threw himself at Mo Dun, compared to the Mo family, the Hu family only has a few dollars, if the Mo family compensates, wouldn't it be able to lose more money.

Cao Li waved his hand, and suddenly several officials immediately controlled Han Lai's head.

"Lord Mo, please stay away for the time being!" Cao Li worried.

Mo Dun shook his head and said: "Please also ask Cao Zhutou to bring the three of them back to the yamen for the time being, temporarily restrain the Han family girl, and wait for Mo to personally sound the Wen Shang drum and administer justice for the Han family girl." ”

"Smell the drums?" Cao Li was taken aback.

The smell of the drum of the court is only able to be sounded by people who have great grievances, and it can be heard directly to the sky, but once the drum is sounded, there is no turning back, and no one thought that Merton would do such an amazing thing for a woman he never knew.
