"Brother Chen, it's polite. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Meng Jiucheng arched his hand and said, "If there is any trouble, please sit down and say." I, the one with limited ability, but since I am the eldest brother of Brother Hongji, I must always do my best to help those who can. ”

"Meng Absi is generous and righteous, and I have heard it a long time ago." Chen Hongye was a little embarrassed, and returned the salute with a hard head, saying: "The previous redemption of the relief ticket was really a huge cost for a certain marriage, and the capital turnover was not effective, but it was not against the magistrate. This, but also Meng Absi has to say a lot of good words in front of the county magistrate. ”

"It's over, so why bother to bring it up again?" Meng Jiucheng shook his head and said, "The magistrate of the county has not been responsible, so why should Brother Chen take it to heart?" ”

Chen Hongye sighed helplessly and said: "Now that the Chen family is in trouble and has been falsely accused by a cunning thief, it has to be said by Meng Aisi and the county magistrate to be accommodating, so that this big scandal can be avoided." ”

Meng Jiucheng frowned and asked, "What is the trouble, please tell me directly." ”

It turns out that Chen Hongye has indeed just gotten married, but it is a bit far-fetched to say that he has occupied funds because of marriage. And this trouble began on this wedding night.

The candle night in the cave room and the title of the gold list are the most proud moments in life, and they are also the most lively times for Zhang Luo. It is precisely because of this bustle and chaos that some people have bad intentions and want to do the act of stealing chickens and dogs.

The Chen family is rich, and the eldest son is married, and the operation is very grand, and people come and go, so a thief is mixed in. The thief wandered around, trying to spy on the machine, so he took a fancy to the contents of the new house, slipped in and hid under the bed.

The thieves wanted to wait for the dead of night to come out quietly, not to mention anything else, and it was not a small gain to take a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry. But it's easy for anyone who wants to blend in, but it's hard to get out.

When the newcomer enters the cave room, whispering on the pillow, you ask me to answer, and it is endless. When he was happy, the clouds and rain were so thick that he barely slept until the early hours of the morning. The thief wanted to take the opportunity to slip away and crawl out under the bed, but he saw that the lantern was on outside, and there were figures walking around from time to time, so he didn't dare to come out.

It turned out that the bride was weak and had a heart-wrenching illness, and the maid who came with her was afraid of getting sick, so she took good care of her.

The thief was helpless, and when he heard the sound of turning over after the gauze tent on the bed, he had to hide under the bed again, wait patiently, and continue to stage the latent script. But until dawn, he had no chance to escape.

During the day, even if the newlyweds were not in the house, there were foster mothers to clean up, and there were people walking back and forth in the courtyard, but the poor thief was lying on the bed, thirsty and hungry, and urinated again, so he had to hastily solve it at the corner of the bed. It was nearly dusk, and the thieves could not afford it, so they heard the silence outside, and crawled out desperately, and hurriedly picked up a few pieces of jewelry on the dressing table and tried to find a way to escape.

People will be unlucky, and they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water. This was the case with the thief, who, as soon as he went out of the house and into the courtyard, was discovered by the servant, and surrounded him and asked him twice, and the thief showed his feet. Several people rushed forward, grabbed it, tied it up with a rope with a fist and stick, and threw it into the firewood room, just waiting for the next day to send the official to the official.

Chen Hongye heard that the thief was lying under the bed in the new house, and many private things were heard by him, so he became angry and went to the firewood room, slapping and punching and kicking non-stop.

The thief was beaten enough and begged: "The villain has not stolen anything, but he should not have sneaked in. Don't let the villain become an official and let it out, the villain has his own rewards. ”

Chen Hong was furious and scolded: "Who wants you to serve!" Every time you are a thief like this, you will only be clean when you are sent to the official and killed. ”

The thief held a grudge in his heart, and threatened: "If the official refuses to spare me, I will have something to say when I become an official, and you should not regret it!" ”

Chen Hongye saw that the thieves still dared to threaten, and he felt even more hateful, so he slapped and kicked a few times.

When it was dawn on the second day, Chen Hongye took his servants and sent the thieves to the county office. But things went wrong during Jia She's interrogation, but the Chen family never expected it.

It turned out that the thief was very cunning, and he was beaten and sent to the government, and he held a grudge and made a false accusation. He said that he was not a thief, but a good friend of the bride, and the old love was not lost, so he rushed to meet and say goodbye, and the jewelry found on his body was given by the bride as a memory. If the magistrate does not believe it, he can call the bride to the official and testify for him.

Jia Shi asked carefully, and the thief told the bride's family about the situation, including the name of the breast, so that it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. After thinking about it for a long time, in order to prove it, Jia Shi wanted to bring the bride to the official to confront him.

Chen Hongye was taken aback at this time, he didn't expect this thief to be so cunning, and took the private things he heard under the bed as a witness, and he was accused of being an official. The wedding is only two days old, and the bride is about to become an official, and the Chen family's face will be completely lost. If such an ugly thing happens, even if it is clearly distinguished, the bride's reputation will be ruined, how will she behave in the future?

Chen Hongye, who regretted it, hurriedly asked Jia She's forgiveness, but was refused, and said that he would rather not pursue the thief, but Jia Shi did not agree.

"It is you who tell others to be thieves, and when you want a witness, you say that you are willing not to be held accountable, how can there be such a reason. If you don't let the bride come out and confront you, you will be asked to make false accusations. Chen Hongye repeated the words of the county magistrate with a bitter face, shook his hands, and regretted to death, "I knew this was the case, I just let this thief go, but now I am tired of him." ”

It's really a thief's bite, and it's three points into the bone! Meng Jiucheng lowered his eyelids and fell into deep thought.

This matter sounds really troublesome, and the trouble is justified in each family. Jia Shi is prudent in judging the case, and he must distinguish it clearly; The Chen family doesn't want to lose their ugliness and dignity; As for the thief, he is also very sure, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

"If the bride can be exempted from becoming an official, the Chen family will definitely thank Meng Absei." Chen Hongye looked at Meng Jiucheng with hope.

Meng Jiucheng waved his hand and said lightly: "I am friends with Erlang, but I don't want your heavy thanks." With that, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table and continued to ponder.

Chen Hongye smiled bitterly, looked at his brother, and looked helpless, he couldn't help sighing, and said: "I hated the county minister before, and the Chen family is a mouse-eyed and mercenary. This time, but it can be remedied, and there is no other way. ”

Is Jia Shi looking for an opportunity to retaliate? Meng Jiucheng felt that this factor could not be ruled out, after all, the Chen family had left a very bad impression on Jia She. However, Jia She's actions are in accordance with legal principles, and it is not uncommon to accuse good people of being thieves, especially for rich and wealthy people, and framing good people is also a common method.

"The magistrate of the county is impartial in enforcing the law and will not seek opportunities to retaliate." Meng Jiucheng paused, then changed his tone and said: "But the Chen family did leave a bad impression on the Xianggong, and because of this, it is not an exaggeration for him to suspect that the Chen family is a thief." It's a troublesome thing, but—"
