Chapter 5 Although the concubine is old

Can a dead person sue a living person?

Of course, a dead person can't be sued as a living person, but the god of the Wenren clan chattered a few seemingly unrelated things that suddenly became possessed by gods and ghosts.

In the end, she was born in a prostitute household, read books and seen the world, and has been a lady of the head and a lady for two years, and when she heard that the people were ruthless, she took out the momentum of the lady in the main house, and first gave five taels of silver to each of the slaves under her hands, and set the hearts of the slaves in the family.

Then she picked up the healthy woman and big-footed woman who could be used, and each person gave ten taels, which was also considered a brave woman under the heavy reward, and suddenly the inside and outside of the Duan Mansion were cleaned up. Then a few healthy women took sticks and drove a few concubines to their rooms one by one, with a cold face, and told these concubines: "The old man, as the deputy Qianhu of the general of Wuluo, was murdered to death, I will take you to the yamen to express grievances, who wants to think that the old man is not there, it is not the same thing to be me......"

Her face, which was as bright as a pear blossom, was like frost, and she slapped the low table on the bed fiercely, and said, "Don't blame me for ignoring my sisterhood and calling people to betray her." ”

The wife of the Ming Dynasty almost had the power to kill and kill the concubines, and several concubines looked at each other, and Xiao Wu had not posed such a majestic posture in front of the sisters after becoming the head lady.

"Sister is angry." Sister Sanping has the best relationship with Wen Ren's family, and when she walked to Wen Ren's side, because she was the first to return to the room to clean up her clothes and jewelry, she hesitated for a moment, but she still didn't dare to sit down next to Wen Ren's family, and said: The old man was captured and killed to death, but I am afraid that he will be robbed of his official status by the imperial court......

What she meant in her words was that it would not be wrong for us to hurry up and clean up at this time, if the old man was arrested and annihilated, the matter would be big, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the two counties of this prefecture, maybe he would be made by the hair, don't get a ruined official and raid the house in the end, and the sisters will be assigned to the teaching department.

Wen Renshi snorted and laughed, laughed to the end, and went crazy unscrupulously, frightening a few concubines to take a few steps back, but outside the door, several healthy women with big shoulders and round waists and big feet were staring at each other with sticks.

They could only curse in their hearts that the woman who had killed her son was really unreasonable, and she had to push a smile on her face, waiting for Wen Renshi to speak.

This Wen Renshi laughed out of breath, and tears burst out of laughter, but he didn't think of a lot of things.

So what is it talking about? In fact, it is just two corpses and three lives, and it is a pity, because of the stimulation of the murderer's knife, the female corpse caused the baby in the womb, which is a male baby that has already been formed.

It was this [baby boy in the womb] who stimulated the chattering Wenren clan, and she naturally thought of her son who died young, and then thought of many, many more.

Two corpses and three lives, this matter is definitely not small, there are two counties under the feet of the Son of Heaven, this coming and going may not even be known to Huang Yanjing in the end, after all, the dignified from the five grades of the deputy thousand households, was caught and cut off his head, and wherever he put it, it will definitely cause a sensation.

This period of big officials is usually on the ground in Daxing County, and they must have done a lot of things to encroach on the fields and seize people's property, not to mention anything else, Wen Ren's own is Duan Daguan's means to get it back, of course, what entered Duan's mansion together also includes the family property of Wen Ren's dead businessman's husband.

Once Duan Daguan died, he couldn't keep it, and those powerful people who were enemies and even coveted Duanfu's property were going to jump out and snatch it, Wen Ren's family changed from a prostitute to a court woman who was destined to be a courtier, and she usually said that she wore gold and silver to call slaves and drink maids, although in the past two years because her son who died young, her son was not perfect, but she never wanted to change from a court woman to an ordinary woman or even a prisoner in the end.

Therefore, she wants to survive in the death and make a big fuss at the Yamen of Daxing County, so that those who are angry at the wealth of Duan Futian Mansion can take a look, and make the decision that if she wants to reach out, she must first prepare to be bitten off a piece of meat. A spicy widow can afford to support the family, ancient and modern, which is also the negative interpretation of [people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden].

In ancient times, most of the prostitutes were highly educated, why did the famous Oiran in the book of talented and beautiful women often feel sorry for themselves? It's just that his knowledge is too high, he is familiar with poetry, lyrics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some of them are even better than the so-called talents among those men. The complete imbalance between the talent in the chest and their own status leads these women to feel sorry for themselves, but on the contrary, if it weren't for their background, it is unlikely that they would have learned so many things. Do you want to be a girl?

Educated and knowledgeable, Wen Ren's thoughts and thoughts are naturally not the same as those concubines in Duan Mansion.

The woman who was killed was the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, and the young minister of the Zheng family was also well-known in Daxing County, and she had heard of it when she entered school at the age of twelve last year.

In other words, Zheng Xiaoxianggong is only thirteen years old this year. First, she didn't believe that her husband Duan Tianya had a lot of taste and went to play with other people's big-bellied wives, and secondly, she also felt that since the Zheng family's little minister could go to school at the age of twelve, he must be a hard-working person. The young master of a big family may know a little about things between men and women at that age, but she also knows about the Zheng family, it is said that Zheng Xiaoxianggong's old son has tuberculosis, and after a few years, he has eaten almost all the family property, otherwise, it is also a good family in Daxing County for several generations, how can he buy a wife to come back to prevent his son from marrying a wife in the future? Where does such a twelve-year-old boy have the opportunity to understand the affairs of men and women.

After thinking about it, the thinking was clear: the Zheng family was dilapidated, and the old Zheng Tou, who had tuberculosis, bought a daughter-in-law early, first, to prevent his son from marrying a wife in the future, and secondly, he could also be used as a maidservant at home, but later the junior official of the Zheng family suddenly entered school, with a different identity, and became a young man, no matter how dilapidated the Zheng family is, he will not worry about not being able to marry a wife.

Of course, the Zheng family may claim to be concubines, but the concubines ......

Wen Renshi smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief while muttering, "Concubine, concubine, concubine is so easy to marry!" ”

Sister Ping and a few concubines next to her looked at each other, they really didn't know what Wen Ren's was thinking, of course, with their knowledge, it was impossible to know, but one thing was known, Wen Ren's belly had poetry and books, perhaps, she really had some ideas.

Wiping away the laughing tears from the corners of his eyes, Wen Renshi stood up and said to his personal maid Chunmei: "Bring Ming Dahe." The maid who was serving next to her hurriedly handed a book with a blue cover to Wen Ren's hand respectfully.

This "Ming Dahe" is a pamphlet personally made by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu Emperor, which is a pamphlet of the "Shangshu Dahuo", which is taken from the meaning [Chen Dadao to the world], and serves on the "Daming Law", stipulating that every household must have one, similar to the red treasure book of later generations.

In fact, since the collapse of Zhu Yuanzhang, the "Ming Dynasty" has basically had no legal effect, but the imperial court has always retained one or two rules about the "Ming Dynasty". For example, if you feel that you have been wronged, you can hold this book and sue the central court, or for example, if you have committed a serious crime, as long as you have a copy of "Ming Da Huo" at home, the crime will be reduced by one degree.

Wen Renshi held "Ming Dahe" in his arms, and looked at a few sisters coldly, "Let's go with me to the county government to complain about grievances, it's done, you wear cage jewelry on your head and live with maids Everything is the same, it can't be done, the Duan family will not ask for guilt and copy the family as you said, and it is normal for the official to succeed a stepson to protect the official eunuch's family, if you want to remarry, I will always give you a few cages, in short......"

She didn't go into details, just swept her eyes over the sisters and snorted a few times, and the meaning was obvious: listen to me, eat and drink spicy, and if you don't listen to me, sweep the floor and go out.

Sister Ping knows the roots of Wenren's family, and knows why her own dead ghost officials spoil her, not only because Wenren's family gave birth to a son before, but she really has a lot of ideas in her stomach, and many times Duan Tianya has to salivate and ask [Lady, how do you see how to deal with this matter], otherwise, why do the first few people like Mrs. want to hold Xiao Wu as a lady.

Several concubines looked at each other, knowing that if they wanted to remarry in the future, they would have to hear the people's words, and the dowry given should also be the people's decision, how could it be better than being sold by someone's teeth right now, that is worthless when they leave the house, even if they are not bad looking, they are sold to other people's homes as wives or concubines, and they have no money to live with, and they are not a trick after all.

Communicating with each other with eye contact, several concubines nodded and said in unison: "It's all up to my sister's arrangement." ”

So, Wupin ordered Wenren to take the concubines and concubines of Duanfu and the domestic slaves from Duanfu to the Yamen of Daxing County.

Duan Fu people and others through the streets and alleys, soon arrived at the county office, Wen Ren's dressed as a woman, real red big sleeves, red Luo back, ground-reaching red Luo skirt, red xia veil, a few hairpins on the head of the crown of hairpins swayed slightly with walking, so that the onlookers of the women looked straight and dazzled, holding high in their hands I don't know which year of the "Ming Dahe", next to the two maids supporting, although not speaking, the momentum is extremely heavy, the onlookers involuntarily gave way to her, and watched her just walk into the county office.

"This must be the lady of General Wu Luo's family!" The onlookers kept smacking their lips, just thinking that the trip was worth it. The dignified court wife actually walked on the street with her whole body draped, and she couldn't look at it for eight lifetimes!

"This lady is wearing a five-grade pleasant life dress, but the four hairpins are inserted on her head, which is quite arrogant, and it is really overstepping." The one who read the "Da Ming Law" in the tone of the "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences". Dong Yan said with two whiskers at the corners of his mouth, this person has served several Xixi, and he boasts that he is a master of ancient and modern times, although he knows that the Ming Dynasty is noble and martial, and the wife of the military general's family does not know that the equipment is really normal, and even what the identity of this woman is.

"Master Gao, you don't know this." Tang San, who was leaning against the wall, was worthy of being a first-class idler on Daxing Street, and he really knew a lot ......of things, "This Mrs. Duan was originally a merchant woman, and later remarried to Duan Daguan and became the fifth lady, and then gave birth to a son, who was praised as a lady and got a fate."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice with a mysterious expression, as if he was smiling but not smiling, "Everyone, I heard that before marrying a merchant woman, this person was born as the head of the upper hall. ”

This title of the head of the upper hall, everyone understands that the daughter of the Lehu family, who is both beautiful and artistic, is called the head of the upper hall, just like the later generations of showbiz are called actors, as for what to do, everyone knows.

He so propaganda, according to reason, everyone should despise that Wen Ren's clan, in fact, it is not the case, at this time the west wind is gradually moving eastward is a fact, Chinese silk and porcelain are constantly exchanged for silver in the Americas, and the ideological collision brought about by this, the rise of the civilian class, and the great burst of market culture have made the Ming people's thinking have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Therefore, most of the onlookers not only did not despise it, but were amazed, and those women's hot eyes were about to fall, and they hated to change their identities with Wen Ren's family immediately. As for whether the lady exceeded the system or not, she didn't even have a relationship with them as a Yongle Tongbao.

Everyone stared at the back of the Wen Ren clan, and was amazed, and the Wen Ren clan led the domestic servants and healthy women and concubines, and broke into the county government like this, and the officials of the Daxing County government couldn't stop it, and they didn't dare to stop it.

Mrs. Wupin, that's higher than the status of the county lord! is still holding the Ming Dahe, who dares to stop it, will he die!

At this time, Shen Bang, the magistrate of the county sitting in the hall, was having a headache, you must know that the junior official of the Zheng family who killed people was a student of Daxing County, nominally speaking, as long as he was a student of Daxing County, he was a student of the county.

The so-called county school students, in other words, are about the students in the government-run schools, but the problem is that the number of county students is regulated, from the Jiajing year, the Daxing County School has only 15 new students every year, and they need to take the examination presided over by the county official and pass before they can be allowed to enter the county school, which is called [admission], and has the qualification of a student.

Therefore, these students are actually official reserves, and they can hand over a handbook to the government and call themselves [庠生] or [生人], with superior privileges, while the people call them [Xianggong, Maocai Master]

No, if someone else commits a crime, they have to kneel here, but Zheng Guofan is standing in the hall now.

He stood under the hall in a daze, the county lord in the hall had a headache to death, it is said that the husband killed the husband and the woman, and the evidence was conclusive on the spot, he Shen only needs to praise a few words in a high-profile manner, reward some silver, and kindly let the other party go home, so as to live up to the identity of the county, but the worst thing is that he is a civil official, the one who kills is a reserve civil official, and the killed Duan Tianya is a military attaché.

This is really a headache, if you don't make a good one, it will cause a dispute between the civil and military forces, others may be fine, he Shen Bang Shen Master may not be thrown out from above as a substitute for the dead.

If you take the normal line of trial of cases, you will inevitably offend the military attaché, and if you do not follow the normal line of trial of cases, not to mention that you have a bad conscience, I am afraid that you will also be scolded by your colleagues and superiors for not having the character of a literati.

It's true: three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo. Three lives do evil, attached to Guo provincial city. The evil is full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng.

It's not easy to be the magistrate of this Jing County! Shen Bang had a headache and wanted to take off the black gauze hat and scratch his head.

However, he is also a Jinshi background, and he usually boasts of his demeanor, and he can't do such a graceful thing in this lobby, so he has to frown and cover his face.

In distress, the drum of grievances outside sounded three times, and then, a touch of red broke into his eyes.

He put down the palm covering his forehead, and was stunned for a moment, such a handsome lady, she was really peachy, and then, Master Shen, who was born in Jinshi, couldn't help but feel a pain in his head, and immediately reacted, this person who broke in was probably the wife of the deceased's military general, deputy Qianhu Duan Tianya.

Don't dare to be rude, no matter what, this is the Fifth Rank Lady, Master Shen coughed dryly and stood up, "But Mrs. Duan?" ”

Wen Renshi didn't say anything, and the little foot took a few steps forward, and the concubine of the Duan family behind the buttocks, the healthy woman and the big-footed mother-in-law followed closely, looking quite murderous.

Master Shen frowned, in the end, he was the wife of the military attaché's family, and he didn't know how to be respectful and inferior, so he was a little angry.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, Wen Ren's hands raised his hands and said, "The concubine Wen Ren's family sued the Zheng family junior official for killing my master and my Duan family's concubine to paint a fan." ”

Because Wen Ren's clan was holding up the Ming Great Edict, Shen Bang had to lean to show respect, this thing was something promulgated by the Great Grandfather.

However, hearing Ren's shout, Shen Bang still froze, and he didn't react for a while, and the friend next to him coughed twice to wake him up.

"Is Mrs. Duan mistaken?" Master Shen smiled, "This ...... The girl who painted the fan is the concubine of the Zheng family......"

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, and his white face was full of smiles, which means that when did he become the concubine of your Duan family? I'm stupid to be a master, your Duan family's concubine died in the Zheng family.

"The concubine of the Zheng family?" Wen Renshi below laughed sharply twice, "May I ask what evidence Shen Zhixian has?" ”

Shen Bang was stunned, and then his face darkened, you are a five-grade lady, you can't run over to make trouble?

"Mrs. Duan, please respect her identity, the deceased painted fan girl is the concubine of the Zheng family, the evidence is conclusive......"

"The junior official of the Zheng family has not danced an elephant in his year, how can he have a concubine?" Wen Ren's step by step is approaching, and the man is fifteen years old, which means that he can go to the battlefield and be sincere.

Shen Bang sneered, "The Zheng family has its own painting fan, and the girl is in the ......" Before he finished speaking, Wen Ren's clan grabbed Bai and said: "That only means that the painting fan was sold to the Zheng family before, I only asked Shen Zhixian, why did he have a concubine before he danced." This time, it was in an affirmative tone rather than a questioning tone.

At this time, although the civil officials had not yet developed to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the seven-rank civil officials killed the third-grade military generals, but the civil officials looked down on the military attachés for sure, Shen Bang was afraid that the judgment would cause civil and military disputes, and in the end, he might not be thrown out as a scapegoat, which did not mean that he was afraid of the wife of the five-grade military attaché's family.

As soon as Wen Ren's clan snatched him like this, Master Shen's face couldn't help but be a little unbearable, and he snorted and said, "This official has his own decision in judging the case, but he doesn't need Mrs. Lao Duan to distinguish it." ”

Wen Ren looked at Zheng Xiaoguan who was standing next to him in a daze, and smiled, "Is Shen Zhixian going to protect the Zheng family's petty official?" It is also the county school of this county, which is said to take the three outlines and eight eyes as the path, and the four ends and five classics as the base site. Take the history of the book as the household, and Zhou Cheng Zhang Zhu as the ladder. Later, I may not be able to enter the national prison and pass the palace test. ”

Shen Bang was furious, reached out and took the shocking wood, slapped it fiercely, and shouted: "Mrs. Duan, above the court, what is the intention of disturbing the people's hearts with words?" ”

"Don't dare." Wen Renshi smiled, and then blessed, "The Book of Rites and Internal Rules" said: Although the concubine is old and under the age of fifty, she will be with the emperor of the five. I still want to ask, how can the junior officials of the Zheng family have concubines? ”

Lying groove mud Male Gobi.

Old Man Shen was dumbfounded, completely forgetting the demeanor of the Jinshi, although just now Mrs. Duan Wen Ren's mouth was open and his mouth was closed Zhou Cheng Zhang Zhu, but he never expected that Wen Ren's clan could come up with such a tricky reason.
