Xiuniang was escorted by several generals, and Li Cheng sent a sturdy village woman and villagers to follow all the way, which was equivalent to being escorted home.

His home is only a few miles away from the Hou Mansion Courtyard, but he feels that he has come to another world.

A group of bare-bottomed children are playing in the pond at the head of the village, the pond is stagnant, and a foul smell comes from it, which makes Xiuniang feel that there is a stinky smell between her noses.

At this moment, she had the intention of seeking death again.

But there are people watching on the left and right, for fear that she will seek death again, and when she thinks that her innocence is going to be ruined by the old pervert in her fifties and her son, Xiuniang has no intention of survival, and is carried by people to walk, like a walking corpse.

If the prince gave up on her and broke her promise, how would she deal with herself?

This village, everything in front of you, seems to have become an abyss, dark and bottomless, open your mouth to devour this little lady, except for the body, all hopes, including the soul, will be swallowed clean, there is nothing left.

……

Soon night fell, Xiu Niang's room was like a bean, it was dark outside, no one lit up the village at night, except for the busy farm to do farm work at night, otherwise every family had an early dinner, in the courtyard by the starlight and moonlight to blow a cattle, and then go back to their own homes and go to bed early.

The theme of tonight's discussion is the matter of Xiuniang being brought back, sympathy, ridicule, anyway, other people's affairs, just a lively, but after all, there is more sympathy, many older people scolded Xiuniang's husband and father are not things, a pair of rotten gamblers, one lost all his belongings, and even his daughter was sold twice. The other, of course, is not a good person, and easily sold his wife who had been taking care of him as a concubine.

This father and husband are simply inhumane, and Xiuniang is afraid that she will have to beg for a living in the goulan in the state city in the future.

After a long time of silence outside, there was a sudden sound of a dog barking outside, and then someone knocked on the door, and then there was a sound of people talking, and after a while, Xiuniang's mother knocked on the door outside and said, "Xiuxiu, your father is back." ”

Xiuniang has been sitting in her clothes, and she has hidden a pair of scissors found at home in her sleeves, she has been worried that Li Cheng will not keep her promise, and she will take herself back to Jiazizhuang in the middle of the night, so that she must be prepared for self-defense.

Hearing her mother's words, Xiuniang had to open the door bolt, the outside was like a bean, the walls were empty, this family had been sold out by her father, except for two broken tables and a bench with missing feet, there was really nothing.

Xiuniang's father is over forty years old, withered and thin, old as a sixty-year-old man, he used to be a showman, because he abandoned his studies, he has long been dismissed by the county teaching. The family's fields are almost ruined, and even gambling and drinking, and people are already old. Xiuniang still has several children who have not been raised, so Xiuniang's father still loves her when she is young, but she may be sad that she has no children under her knees, or she may be unhappy, Xiuniang's father began to indulge in gambling a few years ago, and after gambling, people will be abolished, and even the most beloved daughter has gone out twice, but it is conceivable that gamblers are inhumane.

Under the shadow of the lamp, Xiuniang's father also looked depressed, and his eyes closed after glancing at Xiuniang.

There was still the sound of someone talking outside, and Xiuniang knew that the people who were guarding her on both sides were alarmed.

"Little sister, come and talk."

Xiu Niang's father pointed to his side and asked his daughter to stand over.

"This time it's my father's fault, I shouldn't have married you to Xie Quan." Xiuniang's father whispered: "I went to Xie Quan and scolded him." However, he said, it was also Li Tiguan who persecuted. He said that his family is a hidden household, and if he does not follow the management, it will be difficult to live in the village in the future, and he is afraid that he will not be able to live like this now. If Li Tiguan reported the matter of our disguised official household to the government, and wanted to pursue the money of the official miscellaneous servants for more than ten years, where could he have so much money for him? Li Cheng said and said that he would definitely be good to you and would never sell you, Xie Quan was confused for a while, so he pressed his handprint on the deed. ”

Xiuniang didn't speak, it seemed that there was really a black hole under the shadows of the lamp, and she couldn't wait to jump down immediately and cut off everything in this world.

"But little sister, don't worry." Xiu Niang's father whispered: "I went to the town this evening, and the people of the Hou Mansion found me and took me to the other courtyard, and the prince personally saw me and told me face to face, and ordered me to go to the government to complain the day after tomorrow, saying that the deed was written by Li Cheng forced Xie Quan, and I didn't admit it." There is also a deed in the son, it is Xie Quan who has already taken the money to give you to the son, and he also pressed the handprint for the father, in this case, Li Tiguan's deed will not be counted......"

The black hole seemed to suddenly disappear and disappear, and the dim lights and shadows became much brighter, and the whole burrow was full of light, just like Xiuniang's heart now.

No, it's too thin to describe happiness, Xiuniang's body is trembling, she bites her lip, afraid that she will cry out in front of her father.

Before that, although Shizi said that he would definitely try to solve it, Xiuniang didn't think that she was worthy of Shizi's doing...... Li Cheng obviously doesn't take the prince in his eyes, and the prince is not strong in the eyes of the town and people with status. Xiuniang sometimes looks in the mirror, and she also feels that she can be long, with a delicate melon seed face, her complexion is very white, but her forehead is a little high, and the tips of her hair are yellow in some places, and her body is taller than the average girl of the same year, and her body curve is also very good, but Xiuniang can't see the whole body, two years ago, Xiuniang had a copper mirror at home, and she could see the face, and now even the copper mirror was sold by Daddy...... Nineteen-year-old women, even if they have been married twice, are actually still girls, and it is very common for them to doubt themselves like this.

Shizi really hasn't forgotten himself...... The phrase "believe me" is really not said casually.

Xiuniang said suddenly: "Daddy, did you accept the money of the prince again?" ”

Xiuniang's father was quite embarrassed, nodded and said, "The prince gave me five thousand dollars." ”

"The prince said that he didn't mean to buy you, if you don't want to, the deed will not be counted in the future." Xiuniang's father hurriedly said again: "He said that he would not force you." ”

Xiuniang was silent, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Little sister, you are nineteen years old and have been married twice. Although you can't be the main room in this way, but the concubine of the Hou Mansion always blames you, and I feel guilty for my father, so this is the best way......"

The old father is still chattering, the old mother is wiping tears, Xiuniang is relaxed for a while, although she is still being guarded, but she has seen hope and dawn, women are actually the same regardless of young age, as long as there is hope ahead, leading the way forward, no matter how much suffering is not afraid.

"Daddy doesn't have to say it." Xiuniang said categorically: "The son is very good, and my daughter is very happy." ”

"That's good, that's good." Xiu Niang's father sighed a few times, and he was not without joy in his heart, no matter what, he climbed to the prince of the Hou Mansion, and he would have no worries about his retirement in the future.

……

Li Cheng's father and son came out of the courtyard and went directly to the county government of Sanshan County.

Li Fu took the deed and personally beat the drum to complain.

At the same time, Kong He was also ordered to go to the county government to check the account books and submit another deed to the county office.

This matter has been prepared for many days, and finally it is time to close the net, and Kong He is also excited when he runs.

In addition to the excitement, I also felt a little frightened.

Shizi is not yet twenty years old, and he obviously has account books before, but he is not troubled. Obviously, Li Cheng's father and son not only filled their pockets, but also had a lot of illegal things, and in order to suppress the prince, they deliberately made a fuss about Xiuniang, and the prince endured it.

Even when Li Cheng and his son came to bring people, the prince obviously had a deed and a letter of resignation in his hand, and he could beat the Li family father and son back on the spot. In order to make Li Cheng more difficult, the prince endured it and let someone take Xiuniang home.

Such scheming, forbearance, is really not like the prince of the Hou Mansion who is less than twenty years old.

In front of the county yamen, Kong He also found the official of the torture room he was familiar with, and handed over the cause and the deed account book to the other party.

……

In the rumbling drums, the county ordered Zhang Tiansheng to pac out of the second gate, asking the reason for the case as he walked.

"Nan'an Hou Mansion sued the people's daughter Lin Xiuniang's husband Xie Quan, and his father Lin Guangzong ......"

Zhang Tiansheng didn't look at the paper, nodded casually, listening to the report of the case, Zhang Tiansheng stopped and said, "What is the complaint about this matter?" Since the husband's family agreed, gave the letter of resignation, and the woman's family also agreed, received the money, and gave the deed, Lin Xiuniang is logically the concubine of the Li family, and such an obvious matter has to be sued, the Li family is still in charge, and it is not a foreign family with a small surname, why did the prince of Nan'an Hou stop it? The Li family just forgot it, why didn't they go to Lin Xiuniang's house and forcibly take people? If there is any reason here, hurry up and explain it to the official. ”

Among the magistrates of Fuzhou counties, Zhang Tiansheng has always been known for his shrewdness, and there are many suspicious points in the case in front of him.

"You're going to die!" Zhang Tiansheng pointed at the scribe and said: "Hurry up and tell the truth to the official, it is still forgivable, and if you dare to deceive, you will regret what you did at this time." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." The secretary office was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "There may be another hidden story in this, and the villain doesn't know it." ”

At this time, the other torture room commander hurriedly arrived, presented the letter of resignation and the deed handed by Kong He, hugged his fists and said: "This is sent by Kong He, the accountant of Nan'an Hou Mansion, and it is also the handprint of Lin Xiuniang's family, as well as Xie Quan's painting. ”

Zhang Tiansheng looked at the letter of resignation and the deed this time, as well as Li Cheng's embezzled account book, smiled at the moment, and said, "This matter is getting more and more interesting." ”

The two officials didn't dare to speak anymore, this matter was indeed quite complicated and weird, neither of them had any adult affection on them, and they couldn't be too deeply involved.

After Zhang Tiansheng went to the lobby and sat down, he brought Li Cheng and his son in, and without waiting for Li Cheng and his son to speak, he immediately sent a sign and said: "The slave slandered the master, it is really annoying, the father and son will each be beaten with twenty boards, take back their leave of absence, stand in the cage for three days, and work hard in the lime field for a month, and put the rest of the affairs in prison." ”
