The nineteenth day of the first month.

The snow is drifting and the weather is freezing.

On the streets that have just passed the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, there is inevitably a bleakness and weakness after the carnival, but only outside the lobby of Shuntianfu, it is crowded with people.

The men, women, and children shrunk their shoulders, clasped their hands, and stomped like a tap dance under their feet, but they were still reluctant to move, and they all stretched their necks, stared round, and looked straight into the lobby.

"Here, here, Lord Qingtian is here!"

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted, everyone would have made a noise, if it weren't for the quick eyes of Uncle Qin, who was guarding the door, and shook the mountain of whipping off the street, there would have been a few people who froze their heads and rushed directly into the lobby.

It was not others who caused such a commotion, it was Sun Shaozong, the newly appointed master of the central government.

In these years, there are very few entertainment activities, and the rich and noble families can always find some ways to kill time, but the common people are in a state of 'hunger and thirst' all year round, so a few lame stories and some unpopular jokes can also be passed on by word of mouth.

Now I suddenly heard that Sun Shaozong, a Qingtian master who judges the case like a god, is about to be promoted to the court to ask the case, who can't want to see it?!

So there were thousands of people coming over to huhulala, blocking half of the street - fortunately, the deterrent effect of the government was strong enough in these years, otherwise a farce of attacking the government would have occurred in minutes.

But it was said that Sun Shaozong came out of the back hall with official steps, and when he saw the excitement outside the gate, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and complacent.

Think when he was in the modern era, how many cases he solved were ten times as many as they are now?

can be so enthusiastically pursued, but it is really unprecedented.

After stabilizing his mind, he sat down on the plaque hanging high in the mirror, and saw that Lin Delu was also sitting in the position of the juror, so he picked up the three-foot shocking wood, and fell on the public case, and said loudly: "Ascend to the court!" ”

Zhao Wuxing hurriedly shouted: "The master has an order, go to the hall to ask about the case!" ”

"Might~Martial~!"

With the elongated mighty sound, twelve water and fire sticks were beating on the ground at the same time, until the family of three was brought in and obediently knelt down in front of the hall, which was considered to be a temporary end.

I saw that Daddy Hu's beard was white and skinny, but Hu Jingsheng and his wife were quite rich, especially the little woman, who knew that she was going to be promoted to the court today, so she even dressed up with grease and powder, and raised the color of five points to seven points.

After seeing the appearance of these three people, Sun Shaozong put on a straight face and asked knowingly: "Who is in the hall, report your name!" ”

"Villain Hu Dazhu-"

"Villain Hu Jingsheng——"

"The people's daughter Hu Lin—"

"I've seen Lord Qingtian."

According to the serious rules, there are a lot of formulas that take off their pants and fart, but Sun Shaozong is really too lazy to draw a scoop according to the gourd, plus these rules are just conventions and not regulations.

So he saved all his thoughts and asked directly: "Hu Jingsheng, your father sued you and your wife for disobedience and unfilial piety in the complaint, and usually fed them with leftovers and rancid rice, treating them like pigs and dogs, but is it true?" ”

Hu Jingsheng hurriedly shouted: "Master, the spoiled meal is not deliberately done by the villain, but because the villain and his wife are busy outside......

Syllable~

Sun Shaozong slammed the startled wood on the table and asked in a deep voice: "I only ask you, these are the facts!" ”

Hu Jingsheng was frightened, and his two eyes collided with Sun Shaozong's eagle-like eyes, only his liver trembled, and he hurriedly leaned over and replied with a cowering: "Returning to the master, indeed...... It does. ”

Sun Shaozong set his eyes on the Hu Lin clan again: "Hu Lin, your father-in-law said in the complaint that you deliberately poured swill on his drying bedding to humiliate him, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Wronged, sir!"

That Hu Lin's courage was obviously much stronger than that of her husband, and she shouted in a sharp voice: "I casually poured some swill that day, who would have thought that where he would dry his mattress?" Even if it is true, it is not intentional for the people's daughter! ”

"Besides, isn't there such a thing as someone else's?"

"Let's just say that the old Xu family in our alley, her daughter-in-law once accidentally buckled the urinal on her mother-in-law, why didn't she see the old lady Xu come to sue?"

"This is obviously my father-in-law's displeasure in seeing the little woman, taking a needle and thread like a small matter, I have to say it bigger, just to put the woman to death!"

After listening to this quibble, where did the old man Hu hide her arrogance with her angry 'nonsense' and 'nonsense'?

No wonder they all say that this woman has never lost a battle in a quarrel, and she is really a pair of sharp teeth!

Sun Shaozong sneered a few times in his heart, and suddenly asked: "You said that you accidentally poured some swill on it, then the official asked you, where did you stand that day, and where did you splash the swill?" ”

When the Hu Lin clan argues with people on weekdays, they are used to casually messing around, but how could they have thought that the official master would ask such details?

She didn't know what the use of these questions was, so she said, "The little woman came out of the kitchen that day, and she didn't look closely, so she splashed her ......."

Sun Shaozong interrupted her again and asked, "So, are you standing at the kitchen door and splashing swill?" ”

Hu Lin hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Exactly." ”

Syllable~

Sun Shaozong smashed the table again, and shouted: "What a brutal woman! This official has already made it clear that the clothesline of your house is in front of the hall, but the kitchen is in the west wing! ”

"You said you didn't do it on purpose, did you usually pour swill with your eyes closed and splash directly on your doors and windows?!"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of cheers came to mind outside the lobby:

"Okay!"

"Lord Qingtian is really wise!"

"It's worthy of God's judgment!"

"Phew~ What a general judgment, now I have to call the master of governance!"

With this noisy cheering, Hu Linshi was dumbfounded, how could she have thought that this Qingtian Lord was so meticulous that he would find out the layout of his courtyard clearly?

"Hu Lin, this official will ask you again!"

Sun Shaozong asked again: "Your father-in-law said in the complaint that your husband and wife beat and scolded him every day, especially you, a vicious woman, who slapped him three times and twice for some reason, is it okay?" ”

The Hu Lin clan was exposed to quibble facts, and he was also a little panicked at this time, but he still said stiffly: "My lord, when he says this empty talk, how can you take it seriously?!" ”

"What an empty talk."

Sun Shaozong sneered, picked up the startling wood and patted it gently, and ordered: "Come on, bring witnesses Granny Liu and Zhang Laohan!" ”

After a while, I saw a pair of old men coming in from outside, and they were about to kneel.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly said: "Now that you are old, you don't need to bow down - and repeat what you said to the officials." ”

The old man said: "Master Qingtian, that day I went to talk to Brother Hu because of some trivial matters, and I saw that his face was red and slap printed!" When I asked him, he wouldn't say more—but the mark was beaten by a woman! ”

Granny Liu was also busy saying: "I've seen it once!" The slap print is small, and it is designated that his daughter-in-law beat it! ”

There was another uproar outside the lobby, and the voices of 'poisonous women' and 'sluts' were endless.

Syllable~

Sun Shaozong knocked on the shocking wood lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Hu Lin, what else do you have to say now?" ”

The Hu Lin clan was a little flustered at first, then gritted his teeth and stiffened his neck, and said disdainfully: "How many years have these two old men been friends with my father-in-law, and they will collude to slander the little woman, what's so strange?!" ”

"You...... You ......"

"What a shameless little hoof!"

"The family is unlucky, it's really a family unfortunate!"

Not only was Granny Liu, Zhang Laohan, and Father Hu stamping their feet there, but even Lin Delu, who was on the side of the jury, couldn't sit still, got up and arched his hand: "My lord, such a cruel and vicious woman, it seems that it will not be lynched without moving!" ”

Outside the lobby, some people shouted 'kill this **', 'let her ride a wooden donkey', 'immerse her in a pig cage' and so on.

"Let's slow down!"

But before Sun Shaozong could make a decision, he heard someone in the hall shouting urgently: "The villain has a love for him here!" ”
