Originally, the girl thought that this was the end of the matter.

However, a few months later, their shop was suddenly smashed and a body was carried to the door. The family members of the deceased kept saying that the whole pig sold to their family by the butcher's family for the banquet was poisonous, and the old birthday star, who was the first to eat after the banquet was served, died of anger on the spot before the birthday banquet was over.

A happy event turns into a funeral, and great joy and sorrow are nothing more than that.

The other guests present were also in danger and ran to the hospital to see the doctor, scrambling one by one, for fear that they would follow in the footsteps of the old birthday star if they were one step late.

Most of the results are diarrhea for a few days, and I will be fine without drinking medicine. And the old birthday star who died unexpectedly, according to the people in the medical center, ate something poisonous. According to his family's recollections, the old birthday star ate the first dish made of pork from this house that day. And the cooks are all their own family, so the problem must be the pork in this family.

So, the old birthday star's family dragged the body of the old man in the family, and brought relatives and friends who had a banquet at his house that day, and a group of people beat gongs and drums, and came to the girl's house to ask for an explanation.

Normal people can sense that something is wrong, and the girl's family naturally understands that this is blackmail.

It's a pity that everyone in the world loves to watch the excitement, and the one who died was a well-known old birthday star, and he died at his birthday banquet, so this fun is great.

One by one, they were no longer busy making money, and gathered at the door of the butcher's house, and coaxed the group of nonsense families, demanding that the butcher kill people to pay for their lives.

The butcher came out with a knife and said clearly: "My pork is fine, after eating it for so many years, any of you have a problem eating it, we also eat it ourselves, not all of them are good." Who knows if someone from your own family poisoned and wants to slander people, ask me about the pig-killing knife in my hand. The butcher slammed the heavy pig-killing knife into the wall and slashed it a palm-deep, which shocked many onlookers.

Is it true that after so many years of trying to raise his own girl well, he restrained his temper and was kind to others, so he really let others bully?

"I advise you not to be so lacking in morality, either check the cause of the old man's death, or bury him well, drag the corpse to blackmail like this, and don't be afraid that your old man will come back in the middle of the night to find you unscrupulous descendants!"

The butcher finished speaking angrily, and closed the door directly, without looking at the group of initiators.

Frightened by the butcher's ferocity just now, the old birthday star's family, who had never dared to say anything, looked at each other when they saw that the people were gone, felt unwilling, and began to cry again. Even the children watching the excitement on the side are strange, why does it rain when it thunders?

They have a ghost in their hearts, and the butcher's subordinates are often stained with blood and have their own evil spirits, so they naturally dare not clash with him face-to-face.

Their family received uneven gifts when greeting guests, there were conflicts at home and outside, and several sons who were not young quarreled over a piece of cloth and a piece of meat, and it was not ashamed to say it. Relatives and friends are not wealthy, but they are looking at the longevity plaque given by the court a few years ago, and they want to come over and be happy, where can they afford anything valuable.

Which Cheng thought, arguing with which unworthy offspring should not be angry, poured rat medicine into a piece of meat, and wanted to teach other parents a lesson. It's just that by such an inch, this plate of meat was served in front of the old man.

The old birthday star is gone, and there will be no reward from the court in the future, how can this big family live?

Thinking about it, they were also sad, and they actually cried more and more sadly.

The onlookers, who originally listened to the butcher's words, felt that things might not be so simple, but when they saw the performance of this family, the balance in their hearts tilted again.

This family is too pitiful, it was supposed to have a good birthday, but now that the people are gone, they are suspected by outsiders of poisoning their own family, and this butcher is too vicious. I don't see how sad people cry and beat their chests, they are all filial sons and grandsons!

Everyone whispered, and they all felt that the butcher was not close. This man's heart is astray, and when he speaks, he takes a point.

At the same time, there were other passers-by who asked what was going on, and these people said so and so. Spread and spread, and things went more and more differently.

It is said that the butcher's pigs have been fed medicine, so they grow stronger than other people, but they are full of toxins when they eat them. Ordinary people are in good health, and they have survived the diarrhea, and the old man is so old that he didn't resist, so he died because of a plate of poisonous meat.

There are more vicious than this unreliable statement, saying that the butcher lady often goes to worship the Buddha, because she has done too many bad things and is uneasy in her heart, she goes to pray for the blessing of the Buddha. Hmph, the Buddha will not bless such a vicious person.

Some people recalled that the butcher's family did not have no heirs more than ten years ago, and one day, the butcher's lady suddenly grew old and gave birth to pearls, and there was no news leaked, and there was a beautiful female doll in the family. But it's not good to look at when it's big. Although the butcher's lady has always been very wealthy, even if she has a child, outsiders can't see it, the reason that their family gave outsiders at the beginning was that it was easy to have a child, and they were worried that God would know about it and take it away, so they kept it hidden until they were born. At that time, some people were suspicious, but the family was affectionate, and it looked like they were biological.

Now that I think about it, in terms of appearance, it really doesn't look like the child born by this couple, it can't be a child stolen from somewhere!

This family, with a bad conscience, can't do anything. So said the old lady who often spreads right and wrong in the neighborhood.

Yes, I used to think that this lady was kind-hearted, and it was impossible to believe in Buddhism, but now I look at it, it's also pretending! Another long-tongued woman picks up the stubble.

Alas, who would have thought that this would be the case, we have taken care of his family business for so many years, and we can't tell how many toxins we have eaten, and we don't know what to do if the poison occurs in the future? An old woman who often deducts and searches for meat on weekdays, grinding the butcher to send more into the water, casually says things that guide people to panic.

That's right, no, we have to make them pay for the big guy's losses, and if something happens, the hospital can't get to the coffin, just like the old lady.

That's right, that's right, we also have to have an explanation to make her family pay.

There was a mess in front of the butcher's house, and the crowd was excited, as if he had lost money if he didn't participate in the fun, and the more he shouted, the more he felt justified.

Anyway, there are so many people, and there is not only one of them, what can the butcher's family do?

The girl couldn't help it, picked up her father's pig-killing knife and was about to rush out to reason with them. As soon as his hand touched the deadbolt, he was stopped by two pairs of old hands.

"Good, don't go out, they make trouble with them, let's ignore them. If you don't have money, you'll naturally go back, you are a girl, don't fight with their group of unreasonable people. The butcher's eyes were red and her words were serious.

"Your mother is right, they are a group of noisy people, be careful to go out and hurt you. Alas, if my father were twenty years younger, what scoundrel would dare to bully him? "The butcher was also a little depressed.

For many years, he didn't talk about taking care of the township, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, at least he was not bad to his neighbors, but now? It's also them who watch the excitement, and it's still them who talk nonsense, why is this person's heart so cold?

Seeing the worried appearance of her parents, the girl had to put down the knife in her hand for the time being, not to mention anything else, if she went out to quarrel with a group of people, in the future, her reputation would be ruined.

Even if she is justified and argues with people in public like this, those long-tongued women and old ladies can definitely spread her to the streets.

Give a dog a bad name and hang him!

In the future, how will their family continue to live here, and will it be difficult for their parents to follow her around at such an age?

No.

However, she can't treat it coldly, if she waits like this, she will be angry, she has to take into account the feelings of her parents and find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible.

The girl suddenly remembered that what they said was poisonous, by the way, it was better to find the official of the county government to come over, test the old birthday star, and return her innocence.

As soon as she thought of it, she took advantage of the fact that the girl next door was also watching the excitement outside her house, and went out from the side street at the back door of the neighbor's house over the wall.

When he arrived at the yamen, he bluntly said that he wanted to see the county master.

This is still a young man who has just taken office, his face is white and beardless, and his eyes are full of righteousness. Hearing that the situation was urgent, the girl did not go to the court with great fanfare and asked for a petition.

As soon as the girl came to the court, she simply knelt down and said what she meant.

When the young county magistrate heard this, he attached great importance to it, and it was about the longevity of the old man who was rewarded by the imperial court, why didn't he report to him?

He had not yet established his prestige when he first arrived, and he thought that this matter might help him gain a firm foothold here, so while learning about the specific situation with the girl, he privately sent someone to investigate in two ways. Go all the way to the door of the butcher's house to control the situation to avoid any chaos, and go all the way to the old birthday star's house to collect evidence.

Such a two-pronged approach is always more credible than listening to the words of the woman in front of him, and it also prevents any civil unrest as soon as he takes office, making Shangfeng and the teacher doubt their abilities.

The young county master thought so.

He also looked forward to making contributions as soon as possible and transferring back to Kyoto to listen to his teacher's teachings.

"Thank you for being willing to make an exception to listen to the little girl's statement of facts, I guarantee that there is not a single word of falsehood in what I say, and if there is a lie, I am willing to bear all the responsibility. Please also be sure to investigate clearly and return my father's innocence. The girl knelt down sincerely and kowtowed to Lord Yuan seriously.

She had never knelt down to anyone else except to kneel down to her parents during the Chinese New Year. Now, also for the sake of her parents, she hopes that this young adult can investigate the matter thoroughly and not fool the past. In this way, the family can continue to live here well without having to bear this trumped-up charge!

Lord Yuan saw that this girl was speaking and acting very magnificently, and he couldn't help but feel good. Such a loving and filial woman, her parents should not be such vicious people. The cause of the old birthday star's death is unknown, and those people at the bottom are also very easy to be instigated, before the matter is known, he still thinks that he still needs to give this family some security measures, so as not to let someone be hot-headed and do hurtful things.

He motioned to the master beside him to help up the girl who was kneeling on the ground, "Don't worry, since this official is on the official side, he will definitely enforce the law impartially." And if it is found that your father is not guilty, then he will do justice for you. Otherwise, the state has its own laws, and no one can accommodate it! ”

This combination of grace and majesty shows majesty.
