Ah Zhu went over to help Du Shi, Xu Duwen stepped forward, first bowed to Ah Zhu, and then said, "Ah Zhu, do you remember me?" ”

Ah Zhu nodded and said, "Of course I remember, Brother Duwen, why did you come here for so many years!" ”

Her voice couldn't help choking, she was to blame Xu Duwen for not coming for a long time, it was impossible for anyone to have no ideas in her heart, but she could still insist on waiting, just by virtue of this, she was much better than many women.

Xu Duwen sighed: "It's hard to say ......"

Before he could start speaking, Du Shi took a bite of him and said, "Don't do it if it's difficult, who rarely listens to your nonsense!" ”

Liu Fugui and Jiao Erbao next to him came over together, and Liu Fugui preemptively said: "Ah Zhu, marry a Han and marry a Han, dress and eat, if you marry into my Liu family, I will give your mother another thirty yuan, and then as soon as you enter the door, I will also give you thirty yuan as private money, how about it, it's much better than marrying this poor boy!" ”

Jiao Erbao stepped forward, pushed Liu Fugui away, and said loudly: "Miss Zhu, don't look at my Lao Jiao, I am not young, but Lao Jiao's family has money, as long as you nod and marry my Lao Jiao, I will give your mother another 100 yuan, and then I will also give you 100 yuan as private money, and then give you two yuan of pocket money every month." I don't dare to say it elsewhere, this is the first monthly money in our Xingyang! ”

Liu Fugui was pulled aside, angry in his heart, and scolded Jiao Erbao in his heart for burning more money, completely forgetting that he was the same just now, but he was better than Xu Duwen, but not as good as Jiao Erbao.

Xu Duwen blocked Jiao Erbao, did not allow him to approach Azhu, and said: "Above the lobby, you must not be rude, listen to the orders of the county commander, if you have anything to say, go to the second hall to say!" ”

Jiao Erbao and Liu Fugui didn't come at this time, but they looked at Xu Duwen's eyes very unkindly, especially Jiao Erbao, rubbing his hands together, and deliberately pinching the joints of his fingers to rattle, intending to deter Xu Duwen with this, but unfortunately Xu Duwen had no interest in looking at him more, just accompanied by Azhu's side.

The five of them entered the second hall, and each of them had contradictions, and they were all irreconcilable contradictions, not so much to discuss a result with each other, but to quarrel, and it was a quarrel that was louder than anyone, the more noisy it became, the more fierce it became, and the errand servants outside went in several times in a row to reprimand them, making them quieter.

Ah Zhu is not noisy, but she has no chance to talk to Xu Duwen alone, most of the time she hides behind Du Shi and cries, Xu Duwen is far inferior to Jiao Erbao in terms of quarrels, and even Liu Fugui is inferior, and in the quarrel, he is bullied.

Li Rizhi followed Zheng Gangling into the wing, and after closing the door, Li Rizhi asked: "Uncle, looking at their appearance, it doesn't seem like they can discuss what the result is." Well, if it were for me, I would let Ah Zhu talk to her mother first, and then let Ah Zhu talk to Xu Duwen, and I wouldn't let them express their attitude in the hall first, lest they be like now, for the sake of face, they can't talk back, so they can only hold on. ”

Zheng Gangling was angry, patted Li Rizhi, and said angrily: "At a young age, I came to teach your uncle a lesson, what a big breath." ”

He pointed in the direction of the second hall and said, "They all entered the hall with drums, and they came in one after another, how can my uncle have time to let them discuss by themselves as you said, you can say it easily!" ”

After reprimanding Li Rizhi, Zheng Gangling suddenly thought of how he was angry with the child, this is too undeserved, and his little nephew was right, he didn't think of these at that time.

Looking at Li Rizhi's unconvinced look, Zheng Gangling said: "Okay, then my uncle will test you, you said that they negotiated in the second hall, what results can be discussed?" ”

Li Rizhi snorted, turned his little hand behind his back, turned around the ground twice, and then said: "I can't discuss anything, Azhu has nothing to do except seek death, she can't really choose Xu Duwen, and then let her mother shout to commit suicide!" ”

Zheng Gangling frowned and said, "Otherwise, my uncle will forcibly judge and let Xu Duwen and Azhu be together?" ”

Li Rizhi shook his head and said: "What's the use of that, Xu Duwen is still a poor man, and what Du Shi looks down on the most is that he is poor, and Du Shi has to return dozens of dowry gifts, with her howling temperament, even if Ah Zhu marries Xu Duwen, she can also stir up Huang!" ”

Zheng Gangling was silent for a long time, as a county magistrate, he only needs to judge the case, as for what happens to the parties in the case, it has nothing to do with him, he doesn't have to think about it so much.

Thinking of this, Zheng Gangling glanced at Li Rizhi, and saw that his little nephew's eyes were flashing, and he even showed a cunning expression, he knew that this little bit was a little bit, and he had an idea, so he might as well listen to it.

Zheng Gangling said with a smile: "Rizhi, my uncle will test you, how should you judge this case, if you say it well, then your uncle will give you the money to go to school in the future, and I will help you find a good teacher, how about this reward?" ”

Li Rizhi thought for a while and said, "Okay, then the nephew will worry about his uncle." Actually, this case is not difficult to judge, as long as it is done like this......"

He said his idea, Zheng Gangling nodded again and again, and after listening to it, he smiled and said: "This kind of ghost idea, really only you naughty child can come up with it!" ”

Zheng Gangling didn't waste time, he immediately called in a catcher to prepare, and when the catcher brought the prepared things, Zheng Gangling immediately went to the court again, he let Li Rizhi still hide under the case, and called Xu Duwen, Azhu, and Du Shi to the lobby!

With a crackling sound, Zheng Gangling rushed down and shouted: "If the results of the discussion come out, don't let the official wait too long, otherwise you will all be dealt with as a roaring court, regardless of the reason, each person will be treated as thirty boards, and the first one will be beaten Du's!" ”

Du Shi was frightened, she was really afraid that the county order would beat her, because she knew very well that in the second hall just now, they had not discussed anything except for quarrelling, and the hatred between each other was high, and the situation was even worse.

Azhu believed it and said hurriedly: "County Zun, don't beat the mother of the slave family, if you want to beat the slave family, beat the slave family!" ”

Zheng Gangling asked again: "What is the result of your discussion, who is Azhu going to marry, or is no one to marry?" ”

Jiao Erbao and Liu Fugui hurriedly shouted: "Marry me, the grass people are willing to marry Miss Azhu!" ”

Xu Duwen's face was swollen red, and he said: "The student is the original partner of Miss Azhu, these two scoundrels are really unreasonable!" ”

Du Shi choked and said: "Azhu will never marry you, a poor bastard, if she marries you, she will force me to death!" ”

With a heavy bang, Zheng Gangling slapped the startled wood again, and shouted: "Shut up, who is making noise, the punishment is waiting." Ah Zhu, the official asked you, who do you choose, or no one? ”

Azhu couldn't stop crying, why didn't anyone present understand her, they only knew that they were noisy and threatened each other, including her dearest mother, why didn't anyone think about her feelings!

She just felt that everything was lost, and she really couldn't think about it. Azhu cried: "No one in the slave family is chosen, the slave family is humiliated by them in public, what's the point of living, it's better to die, once the slave family dies, there will be nothing left!" ”

But Du Shi, as well as Jiao Erbao and Liu Fugui didn't take this seriously, only Xu Duwen looked depressed and shook his head again and again, he didn't want to embarrass Azhu, but now he can't let go, if he loosens his mouth, Azhu is really going to fall into the abyss!

Zheng Gangling snorted, and slapped the startled wood a few times in succession, his expression was extremely impatient, and he shouted: "Quarrel and quarrel, this official can't see that you can't get a result, since this is the case, then do as Azhu said!" It seems that in this case, if Azhu does not die, there will be no result! ”

He took out a porcelain vase from his pocket, put it on the big case, looked down at Li Rizhi under the case, and saw that the little nephew nodded directly at him, so he said again: "There is arsenic here, and people will die if they eat it." Ah Zhu, anyway, if you don't die, they will quarrel endlessly, and if you die, they will be quiet, will you eat this arsenic? ”

This doesn't seem to be a joke, Zheng Gangling's expression was serious, and he really took out the arsenic, and everyone in the hall was stupid and didn't know how to react.

After a while, Xu Duwen was the first to react, he kowtowed to Zheng Gangling, and said: "The student is willing to withdraw, only ask the county magistrate to take back his fate, don't really let her die just because Azhu said angry words for a while!" ”

After he said this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, giving up Azhu to save her, but it also made him extremely sad.

Zheng Gangling looked at Liu Fugui and Jiao Erbao again, and shouted, "What about the two of you, who wants to quit?" Azhu can only marry one! ”

Liu Fugui and Jiao Erbao refused to quit, Xu Duwen withdrew, that was because he was a poor bastard, and Du didn't like him yet, and they were both rich people, and they didn't care if Du liked them or not, who cared about Du Shi, they only cared about Azhu!

Seeing that the two of them refused to quit, Zheng Gangling snorted and said, "That still means that there is no result, or can only let Azhu die!" With a wave of his hand, an officer stepped forward and took the bottle from the large case.

At this time, two errand officers stepped forward, one left and one right, and the errand officer who took the bottle went up, opened the cork, and poured the medicinal powder inside into Ah Zhu's mouth!

The people watching next to him were all shocked, Xu Duwen even pounced and wanted to save Ah Zhu, but he was pulled aside by the messenger, Du Shi howled and cried, seeing Ah Zhu fall to the ground, it was too late for her to regret it at this time!

Zheng Gangling slapped the shocking wood again, and said loudly: "Arsenic is a huge poison, seeing the blood sealing the throat, Ah Zhu took a whole bottle, he will definitely die, come on, call him to come up and give Ah Zhu an autopsy!" ”

The servant then brought the servant to the hall, which came very quickly, as if he had been waiting outside the hall, but at this time, everyone in the hall was more and more excited, and no one noticed the situation.

After she was drugged, she fell to the ground in just a moment, and lay on the ground, her nose and face slammed into the ground, making a loud bang, but the servants did not save him.

He probed Azhu's snort, and when his hand was raised, there were already blood stains on it, and he said: "County Zun, this woman has no breath, and her nose and mouth are bleeding, and she has died of poison!" ”

After listening to the words, Du Shi snorted and fainted to the ground, but Xu Duwen cried loudly, just shouted: "Ah Zhu, Ah Zhu, you died so miserably, why should I come back to look for you, I shouldn't come back, I shouldn't come back, I hurt you!" ”

Zheng Gangling suddenly shouted: "Azhu was forced to death by you, this time I took advantage of your wishes, especially the two of you, who are the culprits, what should you be guilty of?" ”

Liu Fugui and Jiao Erbao are stupid, Azhu is really dead? However, how did they become the culprits, it was obviously the county magistrate who drugged her!
