Section 44 The arraignment of the family was astonished

The little girl can't be said to be unfilial, so she brought the food home, put it on the table, and ran over to take her mother's hand: "Mother, eat it, it's delicious!" You eat half and leave half for Daddy. ”

The county magistrate's wife stroked her daughter's head, so excited that she couldn't speak, and she was indeed in tears. But the daughter's last sentence made it difficult for the mother to swallow.

The daughter is an extremely filial person, seeing her mother like this, she used chopsticks to feed the vegetables to her mother's mouth, the mother swallowed tears, handed the chopsticks to her mother's hand, urged: "Eat, be good, eat yourself!" ”

After speaking, he took the leading elder brother into the inner room, pointed to the thorn strip hanging behind the door and said, "This is it!" ”

The leading brother was disappointed, and it turned out to be a family law.

The entourage of the leading elder brother was not a person who could not stop, they tried with their feet in the corner of the inner room, and suddenly, all four of them shouted, "Something! ”

At this time, the leading elder brother was in a particularly complicated mood, and two thoughts popped up in his flash: one is not to be true, and the other is not to be too far away from the county master.

The county magistrate's wife walked in the door and stopped: "Don't move, this is a secret to protect my husband, and it is specially set up by me." ”

"Lie!" One of the attendants angrily reprimanded, "Using yellow croaker to protect your husband is really nonsense." ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, the little girl was a little timid, and jumped over and hid in her mother's arms: "Our family is so poor, what can they find, let them find it!" ”

"I know they're not bad guys!" The county magistrate's wife squatted down, took her daughter into her arms, and stroked her daughter's back, "Don't be afraid, you haven't done anything wrong, and you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!" ”

"To find out the truth, you must keep it secret, and you must not leak the news!" The county magistrate's wife made a request, and her tone was resolute. "Out of responsibility and justice, my family has cut down on food and clothing for many years, for fear of angering the rich, and there is no guarantee that the appointment can avenge the first two terms!"

The leading elder brother promised: "Don't be in vain, don't indulge, you can rest assured, you will definitely uphold justice!" ”

"Good!" The county magistrate's wife said, "If the emperor's mission is useless, there is no other hope, so please wait!" ”

The four attendants understood and did not stop. They all pinched the cloth bags in their hands, all of them were made of shabby cloth, and there was no doubt that there were gold bars in the bag, and they looked at the leading brother, waiting for the order.

The leading elder brother was silent, and only nodded after a while, and the four attendants carried the bottom of the cloth bag and came out with a clatter.

The leading brother was stunned, what is this? Knock on the delicate tiles!

The little girl was also stunned, the things that turned out to be playing were still in use here!

The leading elder brother embarrassedly apologized to the county princess's wife, and asked the entourage to put the tiles up and put them back in their place.

The leading elder brother asked the county lord's wife: "Is there really no yellow croaker in the Ru family?" ”

Unexpectedly, the words of the county magistrate's wife were very surprising: "Yes! But it's all locked up with two locks! There is no husband's permission. No one is allowed to look at it, let alone use it! ”

"Don't you usually use it?" An attendant asked.

"How can you take it?" The county magistrate's wife said, "The lord said, that's something that should be handed over to the national treasury!" ”

What else can the leader say? I also feel that this thing is a bit abrupt. So he proposed to take the little girl as a righteous daughter and bring her back to Beijing.

"As long as my daughter agrees, I won't have any opinion!" The county lady said.

"Can you give up your own daughter?" The leader asked.

"My daughter is smart. We can only endure hardship. Mrs. County said, "It's better to go with Brother and seek a good future!" ”

The little girl was not too young, she could understand the meaning of the conversation, and cried: "Am I not your own child, why do you dislike me and give me to others?" ”

"When you meet a nobleman, you can be regarded as having endured hardships, go!" Mrs. County Master hardened her heart, "If you are developed, you can think of your father, and you can come back to take a look, if you don't want to, you can give up!" ”

Driven away by tears, the five leading elder brothers quickly said goodbye, left the county master's house, came to the county office, and immediately interrogated the county master and the master respectively.

The leading elder brother personally interrogated the county master, he sat on the main seat, knocked on the shocked wood three times, and shouted loudly: "Bring it up!" ”

The county magistrate is still a person who pays attention to appearance and has integrity, and the entourage of the leading elder brother shouted: "Elder brother is above, don't kneel yet!" ”

The county magistrate replied: "If you talk about etiquette on weekdays, the county should kneel." Today is different, and it is inconvenient for this county to kneel! ”

The leading elder brother asked, "What is the reason?" ”

On weekdays, I deal with my brother, how noble my brother's identity is, and the county should kneel down and break his knees, but now in this hall, it is not a place to pay attention to etiquette, but a place to pay attention to reason. The county magistrate explained.

Of course, the leading elder brother has seen the etiquette of kneeling in the hall, so he asked the county magistrate, and the county magistrate replied: "On weekdays, when you pass the court, you are either the plaintiff or the defendant, one is reasonable and the other is guilty. ”

The leading elder brother asked, "Don't you seek justice, isn't this a request for this elder brother?" ”

"My emperor is a messenger, and he should uphold justice." The county magistrate arched his hand and said, "This county is for the public and the emperor, and he is willing to suffer humiliation, which can be described as bearing the burden of humiliation, what is the crime?" Therefore do not kneel. ”

"If you don't kneel, don't kneel, Ben Brother is you!" After the leading elder brother took a step back, a surprise attack came, and he asked, "Is the daughter of the Ru family biological?" ”

"If there is any deception, it will not be spared!" The attendant who recorded the confession warned, "It's a big deal, tell me the truth!" ”

The county uncle thought for a while, and then hesitated and whispered: "Personal!" ”

The biological one is still excusable, if it is adopted, it is a sin, it is slack! The leading brother seemed to be talking to himself.

The county magistrate understood it, and he asked, "Is something wrong with my daughter?" ”

"Long-term abuse, can it be called an accident?" The entourage who recorded the confession gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't raise it, why bother living?" ”

"Giving birth and raising are two different things?" As soon as the county magistrate spoke, he felt that something was wrong and immediately braked.

"Why isn't there a follow-up?" The leading elder brother asked, "Okay, this elder brother asks you, what is your daughter's education?" ”

The county magistrate is still quite confident in his own knowledge, and he replied: "I invited a county magistrate who is about to retire to teach culture, and it is not considered a debt in education, right?" ”

"Where is my daughter's teacher now?" The leader asked, "How to teach?" ”

"Now we can't teach, we can't teach and learn." It is inconvenient for the county magistrate to say it clearly.

"What about the previous question?" The attendant who recorded the confession asked.

"This man is in prison." The county magistrate said calmly, "Presumably this teacher-student relationship is over!" ”

"What crime did this man commit?" The leading elder brother asked, "The crime must not be light, I think it should be a capital crime, right?" ”

This person is not guilty, he took the initiative to bear the responsibility of the unsolved case, and worked hard to investigate, logically speaking, he should be considered a hero, even if he is not a hero, at least he should be innocent; If you bend the law, commit public anger, dishonesty, and the danger of betraying your relatives and leave, you will naturally give people a handle, and evil words will be born.

The county magistrate said so, the leading elder brother's thinking was clearer, he thought about it, grafted this matter with the righteous girl, and asked about the whereabouts of the yellow croaker, which was not a small amount, so he asked: "I heard that adults have a lot of yellow croaker, if I adopt your daughter, how much yellow croaker can I pay?" ”

"This is easy to do!" The county magistrate said lightly, "Since you have been accepted as a righteous daughter, how much yellow croaker you want!" ”

"Where are they hidden?" The leader asked.

"Of course it's the safest place!" It seems that the county magistrate is an interesting person and an open-minded person, and replied, "Isn't it okay to let your daughter compensate you to find it?" ”

The retinue who recorded the confession reprimanded him and said: "You are not honest, your wife said, two locks locked up yellow croaker!" ”

"That's the treasury assets, how can you pay such an expensive tuition!" The county magistrate said angrily, "I'd rather let my daughter be an idiot than use the treasury!" If you take the opportunity to get rich, kill me!" ”

This story is deeply moving, affectionate and meaningful, and the audience will never forget. (To be continued......)
