Gongsun continued: "This kind of case, even in Chengdu Mansion also happens from time to time, a certain person with the master to Chengdu Mansion for more than a month, there are a few cases, and there are even people who make a fuss, there are a few files before the long history case, and it is still difficult." ”

Qiu Niangzi disdainfully next to her, "What's so difficult about this, if the high prince is given to me, he will be caught, so he will be a woman, with a fierce face, most of them are an unfilial person, what the old man said must be true, first the punishment, flogging, and cane punishment one by one, and then put in the cell for a few days, if it is committed again, the punishment will be increased, and the children will be filial to their parents, and they will not be able to be cured." ”

Knock, knock, knock, when Zhang Liang and others were still stirring up Qiu Niangzi's "ruthlessness", she had already rang the bell for her husband in front of the county government, and after everyone was stunned, they were even more excited, thinking that this excitement was getting better and better.

Naturally, there are guards and officials who go in to report that the county has made them worry about paying taxes in Japan, and the villagers are better, but there are thousands of acres of fertile land on both sides of the Wenjiang River, and most of them belong to wealthy families, and the collection of taxes is even more strange. At this time, I heard that such a noisy thing was to add to the blockage, but it was the newly appointed Dou Du Governor and Gao Changshi who issued a document a few days ago asking all states and counties to pay attention to dredging.

But how can I have the heart to put this on this, the new official takes office, that is, there are many things, the court has always attached great importance to filial piety, and greeted the staff: "Check it, if it is serious, it will be convenient for the court to impose criminal law in public, and it should also educate the masses, so as not to commit it again." There was another burst of irritability, urging the staff to deal with it quickly, and the staff responded and left.

After the staff came out, they strode in front of the old man, and everyone was silent, even if they were good citizens, they were inexplicably afraid of the officials.

The staff asked the old man on the side of the street very seriously if it was true, and the old man stood up tremblingly, looked at the official who came out of the gate, and then looked at the woman, hesitated for a moment, and nodded gently.

The woman had long since ceased to make a fuss, and was silent in front of the officials who had been questioning the officials several times. The staff was already busy, and they didn't ask questions. Immediately said loudly: "There is a saying in the Ming Mansion that the grace of parents is more important than Mount Tai, and the responsibility of filial piety of children is justified. It has now been verified that when the criminal law is applied to the bad, the code is in the public, and the county government is under the rule, word of mouth is spread, and those who ignore it will be severely punished. Eighty lashes were ordered."

There were already four or five officials waiting aside, and in response to the rude binding of the woman's hands and feet, offering a dipping whip, and vigorously whipping it, the woman came back to her senses at this time, rolled on the ground, struggled and cried, and torn her heart and lungs, and the officials did not care about the place, several whips were whipped on the woman's head, face and neck, and suddenly the skin and flesh were opened, and the onlookers saw the blood, and applauded feverishly.

Zhang Liang really couldn't bear it in his heart at this time, and he couldn't think of it, he would beat him when he said it, and he didn't have to go through the prisoner's complaint, the lawyer's defense, or the county order's personal judgment, which was too hasty. And if the woman can't think about it and holds a grudge against the father-in-law, it will be the father-in-law who will suffer in the end.

The old man was already panicked, and when he saw that the woman was beaten and bloodied, he had long regretted it, and hurriedly went to stop the torture of the officials, but he was pulled away, and the officials were already eating this bowl of rice.

The old man couldn't stop it, and the woman screamed miserably, as if her heart was dripping blood, and she was also in tears, and she couldn't care about her old body, and she didn't know where the strength came from, so she pushed away the official who was forbidden to her, pounced on the woman, and repeated: "The old man is guilty, if you want to beat me, beat me, beat me"

Seeing this, the official couldn't do anything, so he just looked at the staff.

The woman lay on the ground, her cry was much quieter, and her swollen and bloodstained face looked at the old man in disbelief. sobbed and said: "I'm not my own, just take advantage of this government to kill me, what are you doing ......!" ”

The old man trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you know, I, I ......."

"A-Niang told me before she died a few years ago, I was adopted by you since I was a child, and after A-Niang left, you have a strange temperament, and you are dissatisfied with me, I think it is because I am not your own child, there must be a gap," the woman continued to cry.

The old man panicked: "Son, your mother and I have raised you by our side since you were born, and for decades, we have treated you as our own child, and you are my own child、、、"

The woman looked at the old man in front of her, cried and called softly, "Aya..."

The two hugged each other, everyone sighed, the staff sighed why bother, and instructed the official to pull away the old man, the old man instantly became excited again, and the official was busy with long words and short words to appease. When the executioner got the hint, he did not shake the whip as hard as before, but only fell lightly, making up eighty lashes, and several of the officials said that they had dispersed, and went into the yamen with the staff.

The onlookers always sighed at what happened to the father and daughter, and gradually became pitiful to them, and someone in the middle said: "It's all to blame for the drummer, who has a lot of trouble, so that the two of them suffer this unjustified disaster," gossiping, even Zhang Liang's previous righteous act of pushing away the woman was said to be a wicked person committing murder and bullying the woman.

I don't know who suddenly sprinkled a handful of soil on Zhang Liang and Qiu Niangzi's station, and the crowd also did the same, throwing some handy vegetable leaves and so on towards Zhang Liang

Gongsun was attacked inexplicably, roared angrily, and shook his bright sword. Before this mansion, there were still officials watching, the crowd was fine, who cared about you, there were some people who were happy to throw things, but they didn't see anything valuable, and they were in a trance like this, and they were chivalrous and righteous, and they were unhappy with the old Han woman. I also remembered their mentality when they were watching the excitement at the beginning.

Zhang Liang was also speechless, followed Zhang Niu to hurriedly pick up the books and papers that had fallen, and escorted the Qiu Niangzi who was about to break out to escape from this place of right and wrong, and the onlookers shouted victoriously.

After turning a few corners and turning into a small alley, Qiu Niangzi was still indignant, obviously chivalrous and righteous, and it was her own group who was upset, how could she suddenly change to those who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

Gongsun suffered an unjustified disaster, originally he was just watching the excitement, and casually said what Qiu Niangzi knocked on the drum of grievances. Qiu Niangzi looked at Zhang Liang and Zhang Niu and seemed to have this meaning, she was even more angry, and pointed to the three of them, you guys who call themselves men are not as good as me, and now they still blame me for many things, if I don't come out like this, can the father and daughter reconcile?

Still angry, he yelled at Zhang Liang and Zhang Niu: "A farmer is not good at planting your land, and he has the leisure to buy books to read, don't think that if you know a few words, you will be able to understand things, look at your spineless appearance, you will be angry when you look at it." ”

Glancing at Gongsun again: "Gongsun Yao, you are even worse, you know how to watch the excitement, act sneakily, talk nonsense, compare swords, always dodge, fearful, how to match such a sword"

There was a burst of ridicule, and the three men were inexplicable, where is this, it is so far away.

Zhang Liang was submissive, but he didn't expect Qiu Niangzi to talk a lot, and even his grandson was willing to bow down, and he still doesn't stop now, but I hope that the father and daughter will abandon their previous suspicions and reconcile. It's a good ending.

Qiu Niangzi suddenly stopped her voice, and saw more than a dozen idlers at the mouth of the alley, holding sticks in their hands, and slowly leaned over......
