At this time, Mo You had nothing to say, he was carried away by hatred, and he designed to frame Xu Fu step by step, watching the Xu family die, he used to be very happy, but he didn't expect that he would eventually pay for the crime he committed before. In response to the sentence Skynet, people must not do too many things that lack morality, you must know that there will always be someone in this world who will clean you up, but sooner or later.

Mo You came to the hall and looked at Yizhihua lying on the ground covered in injuries, and Gao Longzhi was sitting on the side and looking at himself with hatred. At this moment, he was startled by the sound of a wooden crackle in the hall. The lord in the main hall scolded loudly: "Who in the hall is looking at what is the thief eyebrows and rat eyes looking at randomly? Come, first beat him with me forty rods. I only heard that the officials on both sides should think about it, and the red sign landed like an eagle catching a chicken, and pressed Mo You to the ground, opened his pants and beat him violently.

The burly flower can't stand these thirty sticks, this Mo You's physique is not as good as a flower, and the forty sticks almost beat him to death. Gao Longzhi had no pity at all at the moment, and he only felt that the fight was not enough to relieve his anger and not be happy enough. At this time, even a flower shrank in fright, and watched Mo You pass out.

The official asked the official to bring cold water and pour it on Mo You's head, and he woke up suddenly, and cried in a hoarse voice: "Lord Qingtian, I was wronged." "At this moment, if Mo You pleads guilty first, he may suffer less guilt and sentence less, but some people are like this, and they still want to play opportunistic tricks when they die.

Yang Xiuzhi couldn't bear it anymore, got up and scolded: "What a Diao Min, there are all human and material evidence, and he dares to say crazy words to claim that he is wronged!" Gao Longzhi and several officials in charge of the trial were taken aback by him, and his colleagues hurriedly reassured: "Lord Yang is angry, the lower officials must hear this case clearly, please calm down." Yang Xiuzhi was also a little embarrassed by his gaffe, and immediately got up and went to the toilet.

The lord of the hall slapped the shocked wood here and said: "Okay, you are a Mo friend, you are still killed and don't admit it, if I don't give you some color today, you will underestimate me." Come on, give me a stick. "This Mo You's buttocks have been opened and can no longer be beaten, only the upper clamp stick, this clamp stick is a kind of torture instrument made of poplar, about five inches long wood cut into a section, six for a group, each poplar through the top of two holes, two holes below, with a rope through, set on the prisoner's ankle, and then the two servants pull the rope hard, the wooden stick clamps the ankle and causes the prisoner to suffer and bleed, is a very cruel punishment. Mo You felt that there was something cold on his feet, and then he felt a heart-piercing pain from the bottom up, and he fainted with a scream on the spot.

The official took cold water again and splashed him awake, and at this time, the presiding officer asked him again: "Mo You, you still don't invite the truth about the crime you committed?" At this moment, he gave up resistance, because he really couldn't bear the punishment again, and he was afraid that he would bite his tongue and kill himself, so he said weakly: "My lord, I'm ...... I confess my sins,...... I'm ...... Confess. So the officials picked him up and put him on both sides, and Mo You intermittently told all about how he designed to frame Xu Fu and how he teamed up with Zhihua to occupy the Xu family's property.

But the matter is not over, in order to reduce her guilt, Yizhihua pointed out Mo You's hidden crimes on the spot: spreading rumors and smearing the Liu family, smearing Gao Longzhi's rumors, and deceiving Gao Longzhi into the back garden of Fan's official's house. Mo You's heart trembled when he heard what he said, and he secretly thought to himself: How does this guy know about me? It turned out that this Mo You had a personal relationship with a secret prostitute in the same village, and after the Xu family was in trouble, he proudly told the secret prostitute what he had done, and this secret prostitute had transactions with many men on weekdays, but her backstage boss was a flower, so he told him everything about Mo You.

At this time, Gao Longzhi was so angry that his face was red, and he stood up and scolded Mo You for not being a person, and asked the presiding officer to deal with such evil people strictly. Mo You was already difficult to distinguish at this time, and he only blamed himself for being too black in heart and too vicious in his methods. I didn't expect my final fate to be like this. The presiding officer then pronounced the verdict in court, Mo You was the mastermind of the case, and sentenced his whole family to slavery, confiscate his family property, and confiscate his family's frontier. Yizhihua was the main accomplice, and he was sentenced to be a slave for life, not redeemable. Recovered all the property that originally belonged to the Xu family and returned it to Gao Longzhi, Taishou was an accomplice, and he also had a certain amount of responsibility in this case, and he was sentenced to redeem one hundred taels of silver as compensation to the Xu family and Gao Longzhi.

Taishou thought that he could get away with it, but he didn't expect that only the next day after the case was concluded, the official document came from the Yushitai, dismissed from his post and investigated, and waited for the property investigation. The man was dumbfounded. Not only him, but all officials in Luoyang, big and small, were implicated and had to undergo a property review.

Gao Longzhi retired and went home, his mood couldn't be relaxed, his brother's whereabouts are still unknown, and his sister-in-law has not returned to her parents' house, so he is a little dazed and at a loss. The old housekeeper waited at the door of the mansion early, and when he saw him come out, he hurriedly went up and said, "Second young master, the eldest master has asked us to come back from our house, and now we can go home." "It's a bit old-fashioned. Gao Longzhi took the old housekeeper's hand and said: "You have suffered a lot with me these days, and God finally opened his eyes, our ancestors of the Xu family accumulated virtue, and we recovered the family property." But what should I do in the days that follow? ”

The old housekeeper wiped his tears when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Let's just start a good life now, first invite the young grandmother back to preside over the housework, and slowly look for the eldest young master, I believe that this unjust case will be retried, and the eldest young master will definitely come back if he knows." When Gao Longzhi heard him say this, he also had a little confidence and expectation in his heart at the moment, so he said to the old housekeeper categorically: "Let's go, let's go home!" ”

The two turned left and right before they came to the door, everything was as if nothing had changed, but the scenery and objects had not changed, and the people living inside had changed. Gao Longzhi couldn't help but stand at the door and sigh. At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind: "Young Master Xu? Gao Longzhi hadn't heard anyone call himself like this for a while, this voice was very familiar, and when he turned around and looked back, it was none other than Hui Niang.

Gao Longzhi let go of the thoughts he missed her at this time, took a few steps forward and took her hand and said, "Hui Niang, I haven't seen you these days, I miss you." Then he felt that his words were a little abrupt, and he was regretting it, Hui Niang also blushed and hurriedly pulled her hand out of his hand, twisted and said: "I thought you would never come back when you went to the capital, but I am afraid that I have forgotten the agreement with me that day." With that, he took out Gao Longzhi's jade pendant.

Gao Longzhi said apologetically: "It's all useless to blame me, I haven't sent you a letter to keep you safe after going out for so long, but I really don't want you all the time, you know?" Every time I encounter setbacks and difficulties, I take out your hairpin to play with, and then tell myself that you are still waiting for me, so I am full of strength to go on. Hui Niang's warm and soft little hands caressed Gao Longzhi's cheeks and said, "Are you serious? ”

The feelings of young boys and girls are always true, although these two people are not very old, but they have also experienced the world, so there is a sense of sympathy between the two, the old housekeeper invited the two of them to the house to talk, Gao Longzhi said embarrassedly: "My family's house and land have been recovered." Hui Niang smiled cutely and said, "I've seen it all, and I've also gone to see today's case." Gao Longzhi was a little surprised, and asked in disbelief: "You also went?" See me? Hui Niang lowered her head and smiled silently, and Gao Longzhi boldly took her hand and entered the door together.

Then the two discussed, and now that the case is over, the first thing is to welcome the sister-in-law back, and then discuss his marriage with Hui Niang, Hui Niang said a little worriedly: "Since you went to the capital, that Mo You has not spread bad words about your family, spreading rumors and slander everywhere, my father is also angry, and told my mother several times that I should not promise me to you, it seems that he wants to regret the marriage, you said that if my father really regrets the marriage, then what should I do?" I've even entered your house, how do you want me to go out and be a man in the future? ”

Gao Longzhi didn't expect this Mo friend to be so sinister and despicable, but if it was really as Hui Niang said, this Fan Daguan was unwilling to marry his daughter to him, what should he do? At this time, the old housekeeper came in with tea and lost no time in interjecting: "Second young master, the old slave interjected, in my opinion, it is better to go to your father-in-law's house first, explain the matter clearly, and strive for his forgiveness." In this way, it will not delay Miss Fan's innocence, but also clear your injustice. ”

Gao Longzhi shook the old housekeeper's hand and said happily: "As the saying goes, one person counts short, and two people count long, probably saying that you are like this." So she was going to take Hui Niang to Fan Daguan's house at night to ask for guilt, Hui Niang was very worried, she was indeed a timid woman, and she didn't dare to disobey her father's orders, but she loved Gao Longzhi deeply, that is, a kind of love and love that came out. For his sake, Hui Niang is willing to give up everything. It wasn't Gao Longzhi who agreed with her at the beginning, but I was afraid that she would run to Yecheng halfway to find him.

As soon as it was dark that evening, Gao Longzhi asked the old housekeeper to drive the carriage to take Hui Niang to Fan's house, and the little couple comforted each other along the way, and came to Fan's house in a worried mood. The carriage stopped at the door, and the door went in to pass the word, Fan Daguan was torturing Hui Niang's maid at the moment, because she had lost the young lady, as soon as he heard that Hui Niang was sent back by Gao Longzhi, he threw away the leather whip and said to the maid: "Let you go first today, it's better than getting out of here." With that, he straightened his clothes and hats and hurried out of the house.

Gao Longzhi didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the Fan Mansion, he waited at the door honestly, and Hui Niang didn't dare to go in, for fear that his father would scold and insult Gao Longzhi, and the most afraid thing was that his father would tear up the marriage contract in anger and drive him away, so he would really not be able to live in the future. So he was very nervous at the door to accompany Gao Longzhi.

Fan Daguan laughed and walked out of it quickly, and when he saw Gao Longzhi, he pulled him very enthusiastically and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, where have you been these days?" Why don't you come to visit me and Hui Niang? This girl is talking about you every day. Both of them were stunned by Fan Daguan's actions, this situation was completely different from what they thought, and even the old housekeeper thought that this Master Fan was not angry.

Fan Daguan looked at Gao Longzhi as if he was reacting very coldly, thinking that he was not enthusiastic enough, so he hurriedly pulled him inside as if he was afraid that he would run away, and said as he walked: "Don't you know, for your family's case, I also spent a lot of money on the relationship between the upper and lower people, but before the relationship was opened, the case was closed, and I spent a hundred dollars." Gao Longzhi didn't know how to answer when he heard this, so he could only say casually: "There are Lao Fan officials who are worried, and the students are sincerely afraid." ”

Who knew that Fan Daguan was very unhappy and said: "What are you talking about, we are going to become a family, and the big officials are still shouting?" Call me father-in-law! Looking at his serious look, even Hui Niang, who was originally nervous to death, laughed, this Fan Daguan is too funny. Gao Longzhi was a little embarrassed.

When he arrived in the living room, Fan Daguan asked his wife Mrs. Fan and Hui Niang's sisters to come out to see the new aunt, it turned out that this Fan Daguan had six daughters in a row, but there was no son, Hui Niang was four at home, commonly known as the four girls. asked people to prepare a banquet to get drunk with Gao Longzhi, and Hui Niang carefully accompanied her, for fear that her father would suddenly get angry and drive Gao Longzhi away. After a full meal and wine, Mrs. Fan and Hui Niang's flower-like sisters all left with a smile, Fan Daguan saw that Hui Niang still refused to leave, and immediately said: "I will say a few words to the virtuous son-in-law, and you will retreat first." ”

Hui Niang reluctantly left, Gao Longzhi was also a little nervous about what this Fan official wanted to say to him, only to see him ask with a straight face: "I heard that you and the senior officials in the capital are relatives of your own family?" Gao Longzhi was stunned when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart, how did he know about this? At the moment, he looked very serious, so he had to nod and admit it. (To be continued.) )
