Seeing that the county commander took the official and Li Zheng to search, the smug smile on the mother-in-law's face was almost revealed, and Ye Qiu's face did not change, looking like a clean person who was self-purifying.

Ye Qiu's old mansion is the residence of the Ye family before they made a fortune, because the original father before ruined the family property, so it is not only not big, but also very dilapidated, the only thing that catches the eye is Ye Qiu's residence, the roof is still leaky before, Ye Qiu took a little rest after passing through, but he can only barely live in people, so there is no need to search, the house is simply unobstructed.

The county order was instructed before, he thought that after coming in, he would definitely search for something about the woman, but he didn't expect to find nothing after rummaging through the bed and broken cabinets, because there was nothing, and the county order was not good to wronged people with empty mouths, so he had to walk out with a gloomy face.

"How? Did you find this slut's clothes? I knew the two of them had a personal affair. The mother-in-law didn't wait for the county order to say, so she couldn't wait to make a noise, and grabbed her daughter-in-law's forehead again.

In contrast, Ye Qiu was much more respectful, and he arched his hand and said, "Can the Lord prove my innocence now?" ”

The county magistrate said in a deep voice: "There is indeed nothing related to the woman in it." ”

Ye Qiu straightened up and said to the unbelievable mother-in-law, "Did you hear what the county magistrate said?" I don't know why your family came to slander me, but since you lied, you have to do it according to our previous agreement, ten big boards, and kowtow to me to admit your mistakes. ”

"It can't be." The flesh on the mother-in-law's forehead was wrinkled into several folds, her mouth drooped, and she always looked like a sloppy, "This slut obviously didn't return last night, she said that the concubine is you, is this still fake?" ”

"Is that hard to explain? Either your daughter-in-law lied to defend her real concubine, or your family joined forces to touch me, my Ye Qiuxing is doing a good job, and I don't even pay attention to the beautiful and talented red branch girl, I will take a fancy to your daughter-in-law? You guys are looking at me alone and being a bully, but it's a pity that I've disappointed you, my Ye family has fallen into the middle of the road, and I don't have the money to let you lie to me, the facts and evidence are there, please uphold justice for your lordship. ”

"I knew that Ye Xiucai was wronged, and looking at that widow was average, how could Ye Xiucai fall in love with her?"

"That's it, I'm embarrassed to mobilize the crowd to search, it's really a big face."

"Maybe it's like what Ye Xiucai said, but it's a pity that they don't know that the Ye family has long been lonely and has no money."

"I was strange before, if someone finds out that there is a private person, that is, the in-laws are not afraid of losing face, how can someone still take the initiative to admit it? also took the initiative to say who the concubine is, who believes it if there is no guilt in this? ”

"Fortunately, Ye Xiucai is self-purifying, and there is a county magistrate to preside over justice."

The villagers pointed at the mother-in-law's family, at this moment, it was difficult for the county order to show favoritism, because the facts and evidence were there, and the mother-in-law's family was unreasonable, if they stood on the mother-in-law's side, they were afraid that the villagers would be dissatisfied, but if Ye Xiucai's reputation was not ruined, the person in secret would not let him go.

The county magistrate weighed it for a moment, and finally made up his mind, he finally became the county magistrate, if he was hated by that person, he was afraid that his own life would be lost.

"Alright." The county magistrate scolded with a serious face, "What does noisy and noisy look like?" ”

In this era, the officials are still very prestigious, and as soon as these words came out, everyone didn't even dare to move anymore, they bowed their heads tremblingly, and some of the timid ones even knelt down.

"Although the official did not find the relevant supplies related to the woman in the house, how can the air come to the wind?"

Ye Qiu looked at this county order in amazement, and sneered in his heart, he didn't expect that this county order actually had the ability to speak freely, such a person can really be a parent official?

"Since a woman who does not abide by women's morals dares to risk her life to admit her mistakes, it shows that her words are still somewhat credible, Ye Xiucai and this family have no grievances, why didn't she wronged others but wronged him? Ye Xiucai, can you punish the crime? ”

Ye Qiu said angrily: "I don't know this family at all, how can I be guilty?" ”

"It is indeed not a big crime to steal joy in ancient times, but you were favored by the Red Branch Girl before, and then you were identified by this widow, which shows that you yourself have misbehaved, how can such a sanctimonious person participate in the scientific examination again? This official will revoke your name as a talent. The words of the county order can be said to be reasonable and well-founded, but when you think about it carefully, they are all empty words, and there is no reason at all.

But he is an official of his parents, and Ye Qiu's reputation as a talent was still given by him a few years ago, and now that he has taken it back, no one dares to question it.

"My lord, I was wronged, I just casually called two people to help the Red Branch Girl, and I also clearly rejected the Red Branch Girl, and I don't know this widow, where is the misconduct? This sin is not confessed below. Ye Qiu knelt on the ground and said loudly.

However, today, the county magistrate was determined to deprive him of his fame, and said coldly: "Then why did you say that others came to frame you for no reason?" There are so many scholars in the entire Lincheng, why are you involved in this gossip alone? If you have a loss in virtue and dare to quibble, it is already magnanimous to you to deprive you of the name of Xiucai, if you continue to entangle, this official will take you to prison. ”

Unexpectedly, things turned out to be such a reversal, the villagers present looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak for Ye Qiu.

"Mrs. Liu, are you satisfied with this verdict?" The county magistrate asked the woman again.

"Satisfied, satisfied." The peak turned around, and the mother-in-law nodded again and again, "Some county commanders give justice to my dead son." ”

"Your daughter-in-law has misbehaved and should be exiled according to the rules, but since she is your Liu family, and she knows her mistakes and repents, this official will hand it over to your own family for disposal, and you must be strictly disciplined."

"Please rest assured, mother-in-law, I will definitely train this slut who doesn't know how to inspect when I go back."

The widow listened to the conversation between the county order and the mother-in-law, and her face was already gray, and she didn't even have the last light in her eyes, and the whole person was lifeless, thinking that she had already met her own end.

No one present sympathized with her, because no matter whether the affair was true or not, she couldn't escape the blame anyway, but it was Ye Qiu, and the villagers at the scene looked unbearable.

Watching the county order take people away, Ye Qiu knelt on the spot and shouted: "My lord, I am wronged!" What is the danger of adding to the sin? ”

His voice was sad and sad, and it was unbearable to hear it, the county commander closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally resolutely left, even if he knew that this scholar was wronged? He can't gamble with his own life, and His Royal Highness King Cheng is not something that he can compete with as a seven-rank petty official.
