The messengers asked, "Who wants to sink your brother into the river?" ”

"This ......" The middle-aged man was speechless, and said: "My brother is a butcher, and he had a quarrel with another family, and the village chief favors that family regardless of whether he is good or bad, and if he catches my brother, he will sink into the river, oh the old man, please save people quickly, it will be too late to ......"

"The others are waiting here, you come in with me to meet your lordship."

The middle-aged man was busy following the errand and entered the yamen

Xia Qiu hooked the corners of his mouth, and the people from Liujia Village finally came.

Back in the courtyard, Lu Tingxiu was not there, Xia Qiu put down his things and walked to the front yard.

Lu Tingxiu was really in the front yard, and he had just taken over the errand of the county magistrate with Wang Xiancheng. Knowing that the report from Liujia Village was related to human life, he immediately ordered Xu Mingliang to send arresters and servants to Liujia Village, and if the dispute could not be mediated, the two parties would be brought back.

The informant didn't tell the truth, but Xu Mingliang knew it. This is a case of quarrel between words, and it is clearly a case of adultery and corruption.

This kind of dispute, in fact, was resolved by sending two officers to come forward to scare and scare two sentences, and it was not possible to ignore the law and disregard human life.

However, Xu Mingliang thought of something else, he sent more than a dozen errands and ordered that as long as the villagers dared to make trouble, all of them would be arrested!

Many villages with a fierce style, especially those living in clans, do not take the yamen seriously at all, and they follow the family law of their ancestors.

As expected, more than an hour later, the servants brought back the villagers of Liujia Village, two of whom were tied up by Wuhuada, it was Liu Butcher and Feng Yuzhu.

Pushing and shoving into the yamen, the two gangs almost fought in the court. Both sides have no opinion on Feng Yuzhu's dipping in the pig cage, but Butcher Liu's family did not admit that the butcher had adultery, and shouted that he was wronged, and someone deliberately retaliated and knocked Butcher Liu to throw Feng Yuzhu's house.

The yamen has not been promoted for a long time, and the people with sharp ears are very interested in adultery between men and women, and they surround the yamen.

The two sides in the hall fought, the people outside the hall were noisy, and a group of local officials such as Wang County Chengyang and other local officials were all present, waiting for the new magistrate to hear the case.

Lu Tingxiu wore a black gauze hat and a green official robe, sitting in the public court. His expression was grim, his brows frowned slightly, and he slapped the startled wood with a "bang".

The two sides fighting in the hall didn't care at all, and they wanted to kill each other with their fists and legs. The officials sitting on both sides of the court had their own thoughts, sitting and waiting to see Lu Tingxiu's jokes.

The startled wood sounded again, and Lu Tingxiu said coldly: "You wait for the grass people, despise the court, and the rod is ten." ”

Master Yang's cunning and old gaze fell on Xu Mingming, revealing some contemplation.

Xu Mingliang hesitated for a moment and looked at the top of the top of the peak Wang County. Wang Xiancheng seemed to have an uncomfortable throat and coughed lightly. It is said that the new official has three fires when he takes office, and he can't let the fire burn today.

Xu Mingliang consciously comprehended and shouted: "Come on, drag down the cane and blame." ”

At one point, a dozen errand officers came in, dragged the two groups of troublemakers out of the public court, forcibly pressed them on the bench and raised wooden sticks to beat them.

"Bang bang ......" The officers were ruthless, and the screams came and went.

Wang Xiancheng's face turned green with anger, and he almost stabbed Xu Mingliang to death with his eyes. Did he have a pig's brain, or was he blind and didn't understand his hints?

Yes? Xu Mingliang suddenly realized this, and lowered his head in embarrassment, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer. A group of old brutes who have made the court a miasma, and the people dare to play such a child's play in front of the government, because they are fighting infighting for their own interests.

After the big fight, the two gangs had no strength to make trouble, and they stood in pain and didn't dare to make a sound.

Lu Tingxiu asked Butcher Liu to loosen his ties with Feng Yuzhu, and the startling wood sounded again, "Ascend to the hall." ”

"Wei ...... Wu ......"

After the ascension ceremony, there was silence in the hall, and the original defendants and the defendants pleaded in turn.

The plaintiff with Liu's butcher's family did not admit that he had behaved, saying that he was knocked unconscious and sent to Feng Yuzhu's house, secondly, Feng Yuzhu was inexplicably beaten and seriously injured recently, and could not do male and female things at all, and the door was locked from the outside when the two woke up, so he was wronged.

Liu Tiezhu went out and did not return, but his parents and brothers came prepared and severely reprimanded Liu Butcher's family. When the fire broke out, they arrived the fastest, the room was unlocked at all, and the fire was caused by the fact that they were so hot that the candlestick fell to the ground, and more importantly, they had witnesses.

Orion passed by and heard that there was a lot of movement in Feng Yuzhu's house, and the two of them shouted very happily. The so-called butcher Liu was knocked unconscious and sent to the door, which was simply talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Xu Mingming, who was sitting on the side of the public hall, almost didn't burst out laughing.

In addition to Orion, Liu Ergou also came forward to testify. Half a month ago, he went up the mountain to chop firewood and saw two people fighting in the field on the mountain.

Liu Tiezhu and his mother couldn't help crying in the court, begging Lord Qingtian to uphold justice. Feng Yuzhu married into the Liu family, treated her in-laws and brothers badly, and provoked her son to split the family, and she has not supported the elderly for many years.

In the public court, the two sides spoke fiercely and attacked each other with the most unbearable words. Both families talk cattisonly, but adultery between the two is an ironclad thing. The errand officer sent to arrest him found several sets of Feng Yuzhu's underwear from under the mat of the single Liu Butcher's house. Feng Yuzhu couldn't run away, and the silver bracelet found out of her box was the dowry of Butcher Liu's mother, and many people had seen it in the early years.

Lu Zhixian gave a sentence, the evidence of adultery between the two was conclusive, and they were sentenced to two years in prison according to the law of the Min Dynasty.

Butcher Liu is relatively satisfied with the verdict, and sitting in prison for two years is at least better than drowning in a pig cage and sinking into the river.

Feng Yuzhu was completely stunned, although she didn't have to dip the pig cage to pick up her life, she didn't expect to go to prison for engaging in men and women.

She has a lot of good life, but she can't go to prison, so she shouted impulsively: "My lord, it's not that I want to commit adultery, it's Liu Tiezhu who can't do it at all, he's not a man, I'm forced by him...... I'm a living man, but he kept me alive and widowed......"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, Liu Tiezhu and his mother rushed forward like crazy and beat Feng Yuzhu, "You rotten bastard who doesn't know how to check, where can my son not be able to deal with you, you still dare to frame him......"

The angry Tiezhu family rushed up, insulting and beating Feng Yuzhu, and the court was bombarded again.

Lu Tingxiu said solemnly: "Escort down." ”

Xu Mingliang immediately sent officials to take Butcher Liu and Feng Yuzhu to prison, while the others were invited out.

Historically, Lin County accepted the adultery case and sentenced it, and the onlookers were hotly discussed.

When Feng Yuzhu was escorted down, her body was frightened, her lips turned purple and her face turned blue, and she was dragged to the prison by the servants.

Passing through the crowd of onlookers, the people pointed at her, and even spat on her.

In the crowd, there was a huge body who was sneering at Feng Yuzhu, who was like a dead pig.

That person was so fat that it was too eye-catching, and his gaze at Feng Yuzhu was even provocative and mocking.

Feng Yuzhu also saw her, like a defeated rooster, she was full of fighting spirit in an instant, and suddenly broke free from the shackles of the errand servant, pounced on the fat man, and shouted miserably: "It's you, why do you want to harm me......"

The crowd of onlookers screamed and dispersed, only to see Xia Qiu being pinched by Feng Yuzhu by the neck, and the two rolled to the ground......
