Lu Jing and the others came to Pizhou City after a short time, and when they reached the head of the state yamen, they happened to meet the state officials sitting in the court, so Lu Jing asked Yang and Liu Qing to shout and submit the grievances.

Yang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got out of the car, and Wang Po helped her to go to the Yanei, shouting as she walked: "Wronged!" Before walking to the court, he knelt on his knees and held up the paper with both hands.

Pizhou Tongzhi Wanzi Qingjian was an old woman holding a young woman, the young woman was unkempt, her face was bruised, and she was crying out for injustice, so she asked Menzi to take the paper, read it, and said angrily: "Yao Ren's murderer is too evil, he dares to sell his brother and daughter-in-law privately." ”

Immediately issued an invoice, ordered the messengers Zhang Jia, Li Yi to detain Yao Ren to confront him in the court, and ordered Yang, Wang Po and others to wait in the class room for interrogation.

Lu Jing and a few people were waiting for news outside the ya, and when they saw two officials, they guessed that they should be the people who summoned Yao Ren to detain them, so they only listened to them: "It is time for our brothers to get rich, after the death of Yao Ren's father, he left behind the family fortune, and now he has committed something, I am not afraid that he will not take out the money!" ”

When Lu Jing heard this, he ordered Wu Ze to follow these two servants to see how they acted.

Wu Ze followed behind Zhang Jia and Li Yi, and when he saw that they did not go to Yaojiazhuang, but went to a brothel, he knew in his heart that these two errand servants would be familiar with Yao Ren in the past.

It turned out that Yao Ren lied that he was going to pick up Yao Yi, for fear of being discovered by his mother, so he didn't dare to go home immediately, but now he sold Yang Xiugu and got three hundred taels of silver, so he hid in the brothel and lived happily.

After Zhang Jia and Li Yi found Yao Ren, they said, "Master summons, Uncle Yao, please come with us." ”

Yao Ren panicked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Why did the master pass on me?" ”

Zhang Jia sneered: "Ling brother and daughter-in-law sued you for selling her as a prostitute without permission, Wang Po testified that the buyer was Liu Qing, the grandfather was furious when he saw this, and specially sent our two brothers to invite each other, and they are waiting for trial." As he spoke, he took out the warrant.

Yao Ren was frightened in his heart after seeing it, his face was flustered, and he gritted his teeth for a long time before he said angrily: "I regret that I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and didn't kill that prostitute, she dared to go to the yamen to sue me." ”

Li Yi couldn't help but be secretly happy when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Why should Uncle Yao panic, as the saying goes, 'A big lawsuit, the silver of the grinding fan.'" As long as Uncle Yao does something good in the state government, there is nothing that cannot be solved. ”

Yao Ren's expression was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "How should I act?" ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "How to judge this lawsuit is all in the grandfather's words, as long as our grandfather makes a mistake, the Yang family, Wang Po, and Liu Qing will be killed together to ensure that you are okay, hehe, not only that, but also vent the hatred in the uncle's heart." ”

Yao Ren hurriedly said happily: "Thank you two brothers for your advice, but I don't know how much silver it costs to make this up and down?" ”

After hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "We have the thickest friendship in Suri, and the two of us are willing to serve this little thing, firstly, to show our friendship Suri, and secondly, to show our brother's means." As for the silver master, he needs five hundred taels of silver before him, and the rest of the doors, stewards, clerks, and other internal and external uses, they also need three hundred taels. ”

Yao Renxi said: "Not much, not much, as long as I can kill my brother and daughter-in-law who disturbs the family, it is better than anything else, and the younger brother is here to thank the two of you for your help." After finishing speaking, he called the little maid and asked him to buy a table of wine and food, and called a few kiln sisters to have fun together.

After the three of them finished having fun and eating and drinking, Yao Ren took Zhang Jia and Li Yi to the pawnshop he opened, exchanged 800 taels of silver, handed them over to the two, and went to the state government together.

Wu Ze had been next door to them, and when he came back, he told Lu Jing everything about this matter and their conversation.

Lu Jing was secretly angry in his heart, it seems that this Pizhou official mansion is no better than that Ganyu, it is estimated that the Yang family is waiting for this accusation, and is thinking about whether to reveal his identity.

Wu Ze saw his thoughts, and hurriedly persuaded: "These people have done everything to protect their official positions, and now Zhang is leading them far away from us, if the master reveals his identity, I am afraid that there will be danger, we might as well take a look at the situation of this case first, and then make a decision." ”

Lu Jing nodded, if a few people are not worried about their lives for a while, they can wait for Zhang Dizhou and others to arrive before dealing with them.

Zhang Jia and Li Yi placed Yao Ren outside, and went in to tell Wan Ziqing.

Wan Ziqing was originally afraid to inspect the imperial history, but when he saw the silver, he was extremely reluctant, thinking that a few days ago, there was news from Haizhou that the inspection of the imperial history had gone south, and he couldn't come here for ten days and a half months, so he said: "Since he gave this generous gift, Benzhou has its own decision, and will not let him suffer, you let him act like this." ”

As he spoke, he explained how the two of them should act, and when they saw the two leave, they waited for a quarter of an hour before they were promoted to the court again to try the case, and ordered someone to pass Yao Ren to the court.

Seeing that someone brought it, Wan Ziqing was shocked and shouted: "What a Yao Ren, you are so bold, you dare to sell your brother and daughter-in-law privately, and you don't invite it from the truth, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin!" ”

Zhang Jia and Li Yi had just informed Yao Ren of Wan Ziqing's words, so Yao Ren was not only panicked at the moment, but even a little impatient, and hurriedly said according to the words explained by Zhang and Li: "The villain's family is unfortunate, since his brother Yao Yi went out, his brother-in-law Yang did not abide by women's morals, was incorruptible and shameless, and was lured by the princess to abduct and escape with Liu Qing. ”

"The villain sent someone to arrest these two adulterers** for more than a month, who expected to turn against the grandfather today, suing the villain for private sale, in order to blackmail, the villain is a poetry and book, there is no shortage of money, how can you sell her and suffer from it, leaving infamy? Please be wise and master the villain. ”

Wan Ziqing said angrily: "What a Yang shrew, lewd and hateful, bring that Yang, Wang Po, and Liu Qing to this state." ”

Seeing that the three of them were brought, Wan Ziqing shouted angrily: "Okay, you Yang Xiugu, you are untruthful, you were lured by the princess who did not abide by the woman's way, and ran away with Liu Qing for adultery, but falsely accused her cousin and blackmailed money." It's not as quick as possible to recruit from the state, so as not to be tortured by the state. ”

When Yang Xiugu heard this, she was immediately frightened like gold paper, trembling all over, and spoke after a while: "Master Qingtian, it is true that the little woman was sold by her husband and brother Yao Ren, and it is not to slander him. If the master still doesn't believe it, he can pass on the little woman's mother-in-law and sister-in-law to come to confront him, and he will know the truth. ”

Wan Ziqing said angrily: "You slut, you probably refuse to confess and torture me." ”

Hearing this, the officials hurriedly put the hammer on Yang Xiugu's ten fingers, and the soap servants on both sides closed the rope, Yang Xiugu's pain was unbearable, and her face was suddenly scorched, sweat was like a spring, and she screamed continuously, and she fainted after a while.

Wan Ziqing woke up with water, and asked, "Don't invite it quickly!" ”

Yang Xiugu said with tears in her eyes: "The Qingtian master has killed the little woman, and since the prince has been favored by the imperial court, he will inevitably be promoted to the throne of the descendants of Wan Dailu from the public judgment." ”

Wan Ziqing sneered: "What a slut, she can really endure the punishment!" ”

Wang Po knelt aside, seeing this situation, she knew that it was not good, if Yang Xiugu confessed, it would be difficult for her to have a good end, so she hurriedly knelt and climbed half a step, kowtowed and said: "Master, that Yao Ren sold his brother and daughter-in-law privately, he is worth three hundred taels, and there is a letter written by him to prove it. ”

Wan Ziqing ordered someone to present the document, and after reading it, he was furious and said: "What a thief and adulterer, he dares to forge a document to fool Benzhou, and someone comes to pick up the princess." ”

The official agreed and picked up the princess, who was old and could not be punished, and fainted immediately.

Wan Ziqing scolded Liu Qing again: "You lawless adulterer, adultery with the Yang family, bad morals, collusion, false accusations and blackmail, if Benzhou doesn't give you a powerful one, you probably won't make a real move, give me a stick." ”

As soon as the officials agreed, they took off Liu Qing's shoes and socks, put hemp rope on their heads, and put three ruthless woods on their ankles.

Yang Xiugu saw that Wang Po and Liu Qing were being punished for themselves, and knew in her heart that this state official must be greedy for Yao Ren's spoils, and she couldn't bear to affect others, so she cried: "I beg the master to be merciful, and the little woman is willing to confess truthfully." ”

Wan Ziqing saw Yang's succumb and was overjoyed, so he ordered him to come.

Yang Xiugu said sadly: "I conspired with Wang Po and Liu Qing to accuse Yao Ren of blackmailing his money. ”

Wan Ziqing then ordered a few people to draw confessions, and convicted a few people, and then ordered the jailer to take a few people into prison and release Yao Ren to go home.
