Tianchu naturally knew, but he didn't hear or see.

Ye Jing was not easy to offend on both sides, so he could only say in embarrassment: "Master Meng, you see that the weather is hot, let's listen to what Guan Zhong has to say when he comes to us, after listening, everyone is gone, what do you say?" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, he didn't want to waste time, waved his hand, flicked a piece of dust on his robe, Erlang's legs were cocked, and he went with them to toss.

Ye Jing said to Guan Zhong: "Hurry up, everyone is dispersed." ”

Guan Zhong said: "I said before about the establishment of the archway, that is left to future generations to see, do not leave the names of those unclean women on the archway, that will not only give us our own face black, but also to future generations to touch the face black!" ”

Ye Jing scolded: "Guan Zhong, do you think that only your own wife can set up an archway, so when it comes to other women, what you say is always so ugly and unbearable." ”

Ye Chu looked at the vacancy, whispered to Meng Tianchu's side and briefly told him the situation, Meng Tianchu remembered that the signature of the gift list that Wang Yi got back did not seem to have the name of Guan Zhong, and his mind moved, and quickly organized the matter in his mind, analyzed a rough idea in his heart, and then continued to read it quietly.

Guan Zhong was emotional, and his speech was a little trembling.

"You think that Yulan is a chaste martyr, you think that Yulan has been innocent for ten years, you are all blind, you have not seen it, so you think she is good, in fact. Phew, that's a bitch, whore, a slut..."

Ye Chu hurriedly stopped and said, "Okay, okay, you hurry up and stop talking, everything is said." If you have proof. Show us the evidence. Yulan has been widowed in the village not for a month or two, but for nearly ten years, you say that we are all blind, are you serious? ”

A man in the crowd said indignantly: "You can't see a woman go out of the door half a step away, so if Yulan has a man, does she still need to show her head?" She has to go to the field to work, and she has to go up the mountain to pick leaves for money to buy grain, and it is not easy for you to understand a woman. You are still maliciously planting false accusations here, you are really confused. ”

Everyone pointed at Guan Zhong and looked at him coldly.

Ye Chu said: "You are also an old-timer in the village, you shouldn't have been a late student who said what you just said, but that is not unreasonable, you..."

Guan Zhong spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, then looked coldly at the people sitting in front of him, and stretched out his thin fingers. said, "Have you all been confused by the vixen's appearance?" O sin, sin! ”

Ye Jing said: "Okay, don't talk so much nonsense. If you have evidence, take it out, if you don't have everyone, hurry up and go to work, the day before yesterday, the yamen brought Yulan's body back and buried it, and the bones of other people are not cold, so you will accumulate some yin virtue and guess less. ”

After speaking, everyone was ready to leave, Guan Zhong yelled: "Don't go, my words haven't been finished yet, don't you want evidence?" You go and ask your son-in-law Chen! ”

These words were like a boulder falling into the water, which immediately caused an uproar, and the crowd seemed to explode into a pot, everyone first looked at each other, and then looked at Guan Zhong in surprise, as if they saw a monster falling from the sky.

Ye Jing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to make a fuss, why did he still pull it on himself, his face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Guan Zhong Lao'er, are you crazy!" Slander came to me. ”

Guan Zhong saw Ye Jing pointing at his nose with an angry look, so he bowed and said, "Patriarch Mo is angry, no matter how bold I Guan Zhong is, I don't dare to slander you, right?" If you don't believe me, call your precious son-in-law and confront him face to face. ”

"No need to call, I'm here." At this time, a man wearing a straw hat came out of the crowd, and the man walked to the middle of the yard and took off the straw hat.

Chen first walked in front of Ye Jing, respectfully shouted to his father-in-law, and then strode in front of Guan Zhong, Guan Zhong is not tall, you need to look up to see Chen, Chen is indifferent, looked at Guan Zhong with a smile, and then glanced at the audience, and when his eyes fell on Meng Tianchu's face, he had more respect.

"I'm here, you Guan Zhong must pour dirty water on that Yulan, and frame me by the way, I want to see what evidence you have."

"Phew!" Guan Zhong spit out a mouthful of phlegm directly on Chen's pants, and the people next to him couldn't help but show disgusted expressions when they saw it.

Chen only looked at it and was not angry, and said: "I, Chen, am a fair and honest person, if you have evidence, take it out for everyone to see, don't just spit out something to disgust everyone, these things are not evidence, no matter how much you vomit, you can't persuade everyone not to set up a memorial arch for Yulan." ”

"Yes!" Someone in the crowd replied aloud.

Guan Zhong said: "Who doesn't know what you Chen will say?" Otherwise, a poor boy wouldn't fly to the branch as a phoenix, do you think I don't know, you have a private meeting in the broken temple outside the village in Yulan every fifth or fifteenth day of the new year. ”

"Shut up! You have to talk nonsense here and say things that are not necessary to frame me. Chen's face changed, and he pointed at Guan Zhong and said angrily.

"So? Finally changed your face? Didn't you hold on to it just now? Do you think you are unaware, I have followed you several times, and you think you want to hide from anyone. ”

"Guan Zhong Lao'er, you... You're spewing blood! ”

"Do you want someone to go to Yulan's house to search, I remember going to the land three months ago one night, you gave her a hairpin, I was hiding in the dark, although I couldn't see what it was, but I listened to the donkey happily say how it is still silver, it must have cost a lot of money, isn't it, Young Master Chen?"

Meng Tianchu then remembered the silver hairpin he found at the bottom of the cabinet in Yulan's house, could it be Chen Xiangdi?

There was a lot of talk in the crowd, and some people began to look at Chen with disdain.

"What nonsense are you talking about, there is nothing to do."

At this time, Chen Di's wife, Ye Jing's eldest daughter, walked out of the crowd with the child in her arms. Everyone knows that this woman doesn't show Chen less on weekdays, and she doesn't treat him as her husband at all.

Fourth, the people in the village look down on Chen, and now he actually has an affair with a chaste martyr, so his wife still swallows him alive.

Chen saw his wife coming over with the child in her arms, and her face suddenly turned blue and white.

Ye Jing was already about to collapse, and it was actually his son-in-law, who had always praised people, who saw such a humiliating thing. Now I see my daughter come out. He knows his daughter's character. Worried about beating and scolding, then I might as well hit my head to death.

"Mei'er, when is your turn to enter the ancestral hall, let me out!" After speaking, he gave his daughter a look.

Mei'er didn't seem to see it, walked up to Chen's side, and looked at her husband deeply. Then handed the child to Chen to hold, walked to Guan Zhong in broken steps, first bowed down and said Wanfu, but Guan Zhong was disdainful, his eyes glanced and saw elsewhere.

Mei'er said softly: "Uncle Guan, I think my Ye family treats you well, when my aunt was on the ground in the past. I often do it at home. You are also a frequent customer, and we have always treated you like a guest, and we have never neglected you. Today, in front of everyone's eyes, you say that the patriarch's son-in-law has an affair with Yulan, you must know that this matter is not a joke, please don't be rash, just want to be happy. ”

Guan Zhong saw that Mei'er said this call unhurriedly, it seemed ordinary, but in fact, every word had weight, although the patriarch's daughter was not a lady, but she was also a small jade, and when she spoke, she was not only decent but also reasonable, which made people not underestimate.

Guan Zhong's face softened a little, "Miss, I also know that your family treats my Guan Zhong family as their own, and they have never been slow to treat me, but it is about the chastity archway, the face of a village and a clan, and I Guan Zhong can only offend." ”

Mei'er nodded: "According to the rules, my Ye Mei is over the norm today, and I ask the villagers and the elders here to forgive me, the matter is in the Ye family, and the man is also my father-in-law, I can't help but come out and ask clearly, this is not only for the honor and disgrace of my Ye family, but also about my Ye Mei's face." ”

An elder sitting next to Ye Jing said: "What the eldest lady said is also true, there is a reason for the incident, and everyone understands it." ”

Meng Tianchu sneered while sneering, it turns out that you also know what accommodation is, but on weekdays, you always sneer at Na Mei'er's mouth, and you can't see a good word, thinking that she is a very unreasonable woman, but now it seems that it is not the case.

Mei'er thanked the elder for owing, and then said to Guan Zhong: "You said that you have seen my father-in-law and Aunt Yulan tryst in the broken temple several times, how do you know where they are tryst, the broken temple used to be haunted, you like to go to the broken temple so much, did you accidentally find them when you went to catch ghosts?" ”

Everyone laughed, Guan Zhong said: "I also found it by accident, and it was also a night in three months, I came home from my pond, and saw Yulan hurriedly walking to the broken temple alone, it was already dark at that time, I thought, a woman's family must have come out so late to steal the man, so I followed, and saw her to the broken temple, I hid in the grass outside the temple to peek, after a while, another person came, the person also went in, and there was no light after entering, the black light blinded, about half an hour later, Yulan came out first, Ghost Fun looked around, and then walked away quickly. ”

"Uncle Guan, why do you think that a woman who goes out in the dark must be stealing a man, you think so first, that's why you think so, if Yulan has a man, why should she do everything herself and show her face? Besides, do you see clearly that person is my father-in-law? ”

"I really didn't see clearly that day, I wanted to wait to see who it was, but the other person didn't come out for a long time, so I went in to look, and I actually found another big hole in the broken temple, and that person walked from there."

"Then you didn't see it clearly, why do you say that it is my father-in-law?"

Ye Jing also hurriedly said: "Guan Zhong, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Guan Zhong said: "Since that day, I have been waiting behind the broken temple every day after dark, and ten days later, I finally saw the man's face, he is your man Chen!" ”

Chen Dao: "What nonsense are you talking about? I went there once, and that was also waiting for my wife and children at the entrance of the village, and they went to the county seat and did not come back. ”

"Then what are you going to do in the ruined temple?"

"People... People have three urgencies, can't they? ”

Mei'er said: "I can prove it that time, because my father-in-law received me at the entrance of the village." Moreover, you only saw my family Chen, did you see him enter the broken temple with Aunt Yulan? ”

"That's... Not really. “

There was a sigh all of a sudden, and Ye Chu stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Guan Zhong was also a little embarrassed, and said after a while: "That... That, that's good, how can Chen explain the hairpin matter? ”

Chen looked embarrassed and looked at his wife. Not knowing how to answer, Guan Zhong saw Chen's appearance, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Meng Tianchu called a servant beside him, whispered a few words, and the servant left with a few people.

Everyone looked at Chen, and it was very quiet for a while, Mei'er looked at Chen, suddenly sighed, and said, "I know you are difficult to speak, I'll tell you." ”

Chen looked at his wife in surprise, only to see Mei'er say: "The matter of the silver hairpin, I know, it was given to Aunt Yulan." ”

Guan Zhong snorted and said, "Miss, you want to protect your man, it's not wrong, but you can also see if people believe it or not!" Why did you send magnolia hairpins? Besides, why don't you send it yourself, why don't you send it during the day, why don't you send it to her house, you must be in a broken temple at night, let your man send it, is it possible? It's a ridiculous joke! ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Mei'er, and saw that her expression was calm and not a little flustered, what Guan Zhong said was not unreasonable, in such a feudal and old-fashioned village, Mei'er's explanation was naturally unconvincing.

"Believe it or not, the reason why I opened my mouth today is also because of my attitude towards Chen on weekdays, but everyone who understands knows that I am not good to Chen, ridicule and ridicule are common, but fortunately, he is a man, he has a tolerant and open-minded side, and he does not care about his wife."
