"Oh, hehe, yes, it was the old abbot who sent Master Huijue to deliver a letter to the county government this morning, so that I learned what happened in your temple! He was out of the customs last night, why, you don't know? ”

Everyone listened to the words of Cao County's order, and then understood what was going on, indeed, Master Guangkong entered the ashram on the sixth day of the first month of last month to retreat, today is March 25, a full 7749 days, but it is also the day of exit, but the old abbot has the habit of entering the customs and cultivating every year, and the monks of the Jietai Temple are also accustomed to its entry and exit, and no one has particularly calculated the time, so they have not paid attention to it.

"Oh, good, good, today is indeed the day when the old abbot is out of the customs, and the county master can personally come to solve the danger of the temple, which is really a blessing for the temple!" Hui Ming learned that the county master was here to help, so he hurriedly became polite to him.

Zhiqing and the other monks in the temple felt much more relieved when they saw that Cao Xian Ling was a rescuer invited by the old abbot. In Zhiqing's heart, Cao Xianling has always had a mysterious friendship with the old abbot, and Cao Xianling has always been a frequent visitor to the temple.

Cao Youdao's wife Wu has not had children for many years, five years ago had to burn incense in the temple and make a wish, praying that the Buddha could give them a descendant of the Cao family, when Cao County Ling personally accompanied the incense, and lived in the wing room of the temple for three days, and had talked with the old abbot about the scriptures after making a wish. Wu made a wish to go back less than half a year before she became pregnant, and then gave birth to a son for the county princess, and Cao County made the old man have a son. Overjoyed, he prepared a red fruit ceremony, led a family to come to the temple to make a vow, and also appeared to advertise for the temple, which became the news of Jiangdu County for a while.

"Elder Guangkong said in his letter that you rescued a young girl in the temple, she was forced to marry by too little money, I don't know where this girl is now?" Cao Xianling obviously knew the facts of the case and now has to handle the case on the spot.

"That girl is in the temple, and the money clerk insists on robbing people, and the girl has been escorted to the temple by the monks of the temple!" While answering the county master's question, Master Huiming turned back to Zhiqing and instructed, "Zhiqing, go and call Miss Ziyun to come and see the county master, and let the county master make the decision for her!" ”

"Hey!" Zhiqing got the order, quickly ran back to the temple, bypassed the main hall to go to the wing room to call Ziyun, turned around and just arrived at the corridor, he saw Ziyun was about to walk towards the mountain gate, but was stopped by Zhizhi and did not allow her to go out.

"Senior brother, let go of Miss Ziyun, the county master is here, he wants to make decisions for Miss Ziyun!"

Zhizhi turned around and saw that it was his senior brother, and he didn't know what had happened, so he had to retreat and let Ziyun go out to see Zhiqing.

"Brother Zhiqing, what did you say? Who's going to call the shots for me? Ziyun hurriedly walked to Zhiqing's side to ask what was going on.

"It's Cao County! He has heard about you and wants to make decisions for you, so let's go see him! Zhiqing couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and pulled Ziyun's sleeve to take her to the mountain gate.

"Cao County Order? How will he know about me? Ziyun asked.

"It's the old abbot who sent me a letter from Uncle Huijue and Master Cao, he already knows about you and is waiting outside the mountain gate!"

The two walked out of the mountain gate quickly, and Ziyun saw a green-robed official in the crowd, the official was wearing a black veil, apricot eyes and silkworm eyebrows, and he was in his early forties, so he knew that it was the county order, so he knelt down to meet him, and said: "The people's daughter Ziyun meets the county lord, and I hope that the lord will be the master of the people's daughter!" ”

"Girl doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly!" Cao Youdao asked Ziyun to get up and stand aside, looked Ziyun up and down again, and then nodded and said, "Well, it's really a young woman!" He turned back to Qian Taishao and called, "Outside the Qian staff, is this the new lady you are looking for?" ”

The money was too young and stepped forward with a smile and replied: "That's right, my lord, this is the villain's newly married wife, her name is Ziyun, she is the daughter of Wu Erniang of Changle Fang, I have a marriage certificate here to rely on, my lord, if you don't believe it, you see!" With that, he handed over the marriage contract.

Cao Xianling took the marriage book, carefully examined it, frowned slightly, and said to himself: "Well, this marriage book is true." He said to Ziyun again: "Miss Ziyun, your marriage contract with this Master Qian is your mother's decision for you, and Master Qian has also given a lot of dowries, the so-called parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, which makes it quite difficult for the official!" ”

Ziyun saw that the county magistrate also had no way to take the marriage letter, so he hurriedly said, "Lord Cao is aware that Wu Erniang is not Ziyun's biological mother, and she can't be the master of Ziyun!" ”

"Oh? What's going on here? You're not that Wu Erniang's daughter? ”

"Well, this matter is a long story, and Rong Minnu will report it to you." Ziyun replied, "The folk girl was originally from Luoyang, only because she was lost with her parents eleven years ago, and was abducted and sold here by traffickers, and sold to Wu Erniang of Changle Fang's 'Qinchun Courtyard', after my Erniang adopted me, I asked me to be a maid for those singers in the song building, and learned singing and dancing skills with them, three months ago, Erniang asked me to accompany the guests to drink and have fun, Ziyun did not obey, and broke the things in the store, so I offended Erniang.

Erniang was angry and wanted to marry me, and happened to meet Mr. Qian who came to drink, so she agreed to Mr. Qian's request for marriage, and asked Mr. Qian to make a thousand taels of silver as a dowry. My lord, Wu Erniang is not Ziyun's biological mother, and she can't make decisions about Ziyun's life. Besides, this old man Qian is a person who is over half a hundred years old, and he is a reluctant person, the people's daughter is dead, and he doesn't want to marry him, I hope the lord is the master of the people's daughter! ”

Ziyun tearfully poured out the pain in his heart, and also explained the reason for the marriage to Cao Youdao and the onlookers, which made the surrounding people feel pity and sympathy for him, and lamented the pain of his fate, feeling that this money tiger is taking advantage of the danger of people, and the old cow eats tender grass, which is really hateful.

"Oh, I see." Cao Youdao is not a foolish official, he knows that this must be the money and means used by the money clerk to force such a young woman to marry him as his wife, and seeing that the onlookers have pity for Ziyun, they want to obey the will of the people and do a good deed for the people, so he said to Qian Taishao: "Since Wu Erniang is not this girl's mother, naturally you can't make the decision for her marriage, Qian Yuanwai, I think you were deceived by this Wu Erniang?" ”

Qian Taishao listened to Cao Youdao's words, obviously with the intention of sheltering Ziyun, and hurriedly argued: "My lord, you have to be clear, this girl is indeed a girl from 'Qinchun Courtyard', although she is not Wu Erniang's own child, but Wu Erniang has the grace to nurture her, and she should be the master of her marriage. I hope you will act impartially! ”

"Bold! This official has always acted impartially and never bent the law for personal gain! Cao Youdao saw that the money was too small and he didn't want to stop there, and he wanted to entangle, so he played official power and said sharply:

"The money is too small, it's not that the official doesn't give you face, it's just that you have done too much in this matter, you are already over half a hundred years old, but you want to marry such a twenty-eight woman, this thing itself is not in accordance with the etiquette law. Besides, this girl doesn't want to marry you at all, as the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, if you marry the past, what can you do?

This girl's parents and relatives are not around, and the marriage cannot be decided by herself, I see, let the county make the decision for her! The county announced that the marriage contract between Miss Ziyun and Master Qian was invalid, and from now on, Miss Ziyun will return to her freedom! ”

"Good! ――”

Cao Youdao announced the verdict, and the onlookers and the monks of Jietai Temple applauded.

"The county magistrate is clear!"

"The county lord is wise!"

Ziyun almost didn't believe his ears, and stood there stupidly stunned, until he saw Zhiqing, who was also excited on the side, and didn't believe that all this was true.

"Sister Ziyun, you're free! You don't have to marry that money tiger anymore! You've broken free from the shackles of that marriage letter! Your efforts to unjust fate have not been in vain! ”
