"That's the family, isn't it?" When he went home that night, Ye Qiu saw a group of people arguing around his dilapidated house from a distance, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"I'm back, Ye Xiu is back." An aunt shouted loudly as soon as she saw him.

"Wow, my concubine is finally back, if you hadn't been found out last night that you weren't at home all night, I wouldn't have known that you had found this wild man outside." The woman's mother-in-law pulled at the woman's hair, and the woman's tears flowed incessantly, and she did not mean to beg for mercy, and her face was as if she were dead.

"What for? Do you want to touch porcelain around my house? Ye Qiu said coldly.

"You still want to pretend you don't know?" The woman's mother-in-law stared at him with a sneer, "You are the one who seduced my daughter-in-law, right?" ”

"You can eat this indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, I don't know who your daughter-in-law is, I seduce her?"

"You still don't admit it? This is the undershirt she made for you, and your last name is embroidered on it. The mother-in-law threw the clothes on the ground, and a leaf happened to be at the collar, and the onlookers saw it and immediately there was a burst of discussion.

"There are so many people surnamed Ye in the world, could it be that everyone has an affair with your daughter-in-law? You deliberately framed you, I can report to the police to arrest you. ”

"Wow, report to the official, this slut has admitted it herself, do you dare to quibble? Do you dare us to go in and search for it? There must be this slut's belongings in your house. ”

Ye Qiu's eyes narrowed, it turned out that he was waiting for him here, that King Cheng was also ruthless enough, taking advantage of his lack of planting this trick, although the means were ruthless, but I have to say that it was really useful, if someone really found out something later, then it would really be impossible to tell if he had a mouth.

"I'm innocent and a talent, how can I let you search my home? Where is my dignity? Ye Qiu said angrily, "I don't know your daughter-in-law at all, who knows if you are here to deliberately find fault?" ”

"Are you weak-hearted?" The mother-in-law pointed to Ye Qiu's nose and said, "Please be a witness to everyone here, today I have to fight to the death to find out the evidence of the fornication of these two people, and if I don't dispose of these two people, I am sorry for my dead son." ”

"You dare?" Ye Qiu stopped in front of him, looking angry, "Your daughter-in-law said that she had a personal relationship with me?" If you want to search my house, you can search it? There's no way to do that. ”

"You don't dare to let us send you, you just have a ghost in your heart."

"You guys are unreasonable." Ye Qiu's face turned red with anger, "Okay, if you want to check, I'll check it for you, but there is a premise." ”

"What premise?"

"Today I can't suffer this grievance in vain, in order to prove my innocence, I can search, but I must check with the officials of the government and Lizheng, if nothing is found, you must also kowtow to me and apologize, admit to everyone that you have wronged me, according to the law, you will also receive ten strokes."

The mother-in-law's eyes shrank for a moment, and after drifting, she seemed to be encouraged, and said fiercely: "Yes, but what if we find out something?" ”

"If you find out something, then I don't want my reputation as a scholar, and I will no longer participate in the imperial examination in this life."

"Okay, just as you say."

"Bother which villager to tell the county magistrate to preside over this case, I am grateful in Xia Yeqiu." Ye Qiu bowed his hand to the surrounding villagers, looking like he had a clear conscience.

The original body has always been the appearance of a scholar, not good at communication, but also did not do evil things, sometimes when I met the aunt of the village lady, I would run away, today this mother-in-law's family came to find fault with such a reason, in fact, the people in the village were still shocked, because in their hearts Ye Qiu was not such a person at all.

What's more, they had heard that he had a marriage contract with the young lady of the Rongju family in the county, since he already had such a good family affair, why would he have an affair with a widow and ruin his future?

Therefore, some villagers believed his words and enthusiastically said that they would invite him and let him not worry.

At this time, the widow seemed to be ruthless, and raised her head with a sad face: "Ye Lang, why are you so troubled? Why do you say such things, it will ruin you. ”

Ye Qiu looked at her expressionlessly and said, "This eldest sister, I don't know you at all, please look at yourself, I even rejected the famous Miss Hongzhi two days ago, do you think I can take a fancy to you?" ”

As soon as his sarcastic words came out, some villagers immediately laughed, because this widow's appearance is indeed not very good-looking now, let alone the handsome Ye Xiucai, even if the village is a little more upright, he can't find such a widow, and it's not that he can't marry a daughter-in-law.

The widow's face was flushed, and she looked ashamed of herself.

Or her mother-in-law was so high-minded that she immediately sneered and said, "Who knows what some people are like in secret? I just like to do those dirty things. ”

"Is the eldest lady treating others with herself? I really don't know where I offended your family, let you take great pains to wronged me like this, no matter whether you can find evidence today, presumably your daughter-in-law here will not survive, dare to fight with her life, eldest sister, have you really thought about it? Or is someone threatening you with something? ”

The widow's eyes shrank, and she didn't dare to look at each other, judging from the clenched hand, Ye Qiu should have said it.

"You're very proud now, let's see if you can say anything more after you go in and search." The mother-in-law said disdainfully.

"Looking at your determined appearance, I don't know that I think you have pried the door of my house and put things in by yourself." Ye Qiuyun said lightly, and the person in the dark couldn't help but squint his eyes, but then he put his mind at ease, even if Ye Qiu said it, what if he was right? Things are already in before people come back, and they can be searched out as soon as someone goes in later.

"Who reported it?" Because he had received an order before, the prefectural magistrate quickly came with a servant.

Ye Qiu bowed his hand: "Back to my lord, it's really here, this mother-in-law's family said that I have a private relationship with her daughter-in-law, and I have to enter my house to search, so please come and testify whether my family has any private belongings of her daughter-in-law." ”

"Has anyone been in this house before?"

"Back to my lord, no." The mother-in-law hurriedly replied, "We have been guarding the front of the house, and no one will go in to hide it privately, and now we will definitely find it when we go in." ”

"If you don't find it, you know what slander is, right?" The county magistrate squinted his eyes and said, then turned his head to look at Ye Qiu, "Ye Xiucai, if you find it, you should also know what kind of punishment you will receive for abducting a widow, right?" ”

"I understand it below, and it is precisely because I understand it that I want to ask the adults to be innocent in the next one." Ye Qiu said with a straight face, "My lord, please." ”
