When the people of the Mu clan were escorted to the prefect's yamen by the yamen, most of them had already been cowardly, secretly scolding Mu Qingleng for not listening to the words of the clan elders and not knowing how to lift, and scolding Mu Qi Civilization for knowing that Mu Qingleng had the prefect as a backer and also prodded them to make trouble, and even the prefect with Zhou Qingnian was also scolded as a dog official.

In short, a thousand mistakes are the fault of others, that is, one's own fault. However, no matter how angry they were, in the face of the long knives and killing sticks of the officials, they had to honestly bow their heads and kneel under the court, silent.

Mu Qiwen, the leader, was a little dazed, he didn't know how things developed like this, originally he thought that he was sure of nine out of ten, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Mu Qing Leng at the gate of Mu Mansion first, and he also scolded him with a gun and a stick. Just when he was about to come hard, he was pounced on by hundreds of messengers and taken down, and when the cold blade was attached to his neck, Rao Shi couldn't help but regret it.

said that there were two official words, but he didn't expect that in such an immoral matter as adultery during the filial piety period, Zhou Qingnian would blindly protect the curtain and be cold. The officials who pounced on them at that time did not show any mercy to them, but they all resisted and beat them severely.

But now, he can't afford to back down. At the gate of Mufu, what should be said and what should not be said has already been said, and now only by sitting on the crime of sitting on the curtain can they have a way to escape. Otherwise, slander the officials and their families, and with the relationship between Zhou Qingnian and Mufu, they will not have to ask for the lives of their clansmen.

As long as you sit on the curtain and clear the sin...... Mu Qiwen couldn't help but squint, and the essence of his eyes flashed. As long as she sits on the sin of being cold, even if Zhou Qingnian wants to protect her, she has to take care of everyone. At that time, even if Zhou Qingnian is dissatisfied with them, as long as the Mufu family wealth is in hand, it is a big deal to share half of the profit to Zhou Qingnian. It is said that thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and this week's celebration will be no exception.

Mu Qiwen quickly went through everything in his mind, and felt that the current situation was not bad. He glanced at the Wang mother and son who were on the ground, and his heart was settled. As long as their mother and son are in hand, Mu Qingleng can't turn over.

"Might~Wu~" As the yacha shouted, Zhou Qingnian, the prefect of Hangzhou in an official robe, came to sit in front of the hall, and then patted the hall in shock, "Who is in the hall, report your name." ”

Mu Qiwen calmed down and replied: "The villain Mu clan patriarch Mu Qiwen led the Mu clan to ask the Qingtian Lord for peace." ”

Zhou Qingnian slapped the shocked wood again, "Mu Qiwen, this official asks you, why did you lead people to gather people to make trouble, and you also intended to storm the Mufu mansion, force the owner of the Mufu Mansion Mu Qingleng, and steal and embezzle Mu Qingleng's wealth?" ”

After hearing this, Mu Qiwen shouted that he was wronged, "The villain is wronged, please Qingtian Lord Mingjian!" How can the villain be the kind of person who violates the law and discipline, but the villain has inherited the ancestral teachings of the Mu family since he was a child, and he must teach the children of the clan not to corrupt the manners. The villain heard that Mu Qingleng had committed adultery with someone during the filial piety period, and the villain, as the patriarch, was naturally duty-bound, so Fang led the elders and children of the clan to confront Mu Qingleng. The sin that the adults say, the villains dare not admit it. ”

"Since you don't admit it, then send the plaintiff to court." Zhou Qingnian passed on to the court, naturally it was not Mu Qingleng, but Mu Zheng, the chief housekeeper of Mufu, and the Du family, who was in charge of the inner house. The two came to the front of the hall and knelt down together to greet him, "The villain has seen the master of the blue sky." ”

"The two of you, did you sue Mu Qiwen and lead people to forcibly break into Mu Mansion, intending to force people's lives and steal and embezzle property?"

"Exactly." Hearing the two answers, Mu Qiwen cried out again.

"This official asks about the case, and he must not interrupt, there is a time when you speak." Zhou Qingnian said. Then he asked Mu Zheng and Du what their credentials were. The Du family did not panic, and they came to the door of the Mu Mansion one by one, and also informed the questions about the confrontation with the Wang family at that time.

"Wang's is here?" "The women are here." Even the Wang family didn't dare to sprinkle at will in this court, and only replied honestly.

"You said that your son saw with his own eyes that Mu Qingleng committed adultery?" "Yes!"

"Mu Cai, what your mother Wang said is true?" "Yes, my lord, it was because the villain broke through the adultery between the two of them that he was killed to become what he is now." Mu Cai replied as he lay on the ground. He hated Mu Qing and the two of them to the bone.

"According to the steward of Mufu, Mufu has never invited your mother and son to come to the door, and you two have never sent a post to Mufu. How did you get to Mufu? How did you see Mu Qingleng committing adultery with someone? ”

Mu Cai heard that the cold sweat came down, and the Wang family was also anxious, but now, the two of them were also ready to send arrows, thinking of the suffering in Zhuangzi, Mu Cai gritted his teeth and decided to fight.

"If you go back to the adult, the villain and my mother went to Mufu with Yu Tuiguan's wife." As soon as Mu Cai's words came out, Yu Tuiguan, who was sitting on the right side of the court, felt a pounding heartbeat.

The magistrate was already in charge of the prison, and he judged countless cases on weekdays, and he knew what the matter was. Seeing that Governor Zhou personally went to the court to inquire about the case, it was known that this matter was difficult to get right. At this time, I suddenly heard that there was something about my wife, and I was worried in my heart.

While speaking, Governor Zhou had already ordered someone to go to the court, and Yu Tuiguan had to secretly scold his own loser girl one hundred and eighty times, while secretly praying that this had nothing to do with her.

It didn't take long for Mrs. Yu to arrive. Where did Mrs. Yu pass by this, while greeting Zhou Qingnian, she glanced timidly at her father-in-law, thinking that he could calm his heart.

The official is a positive seven products, which Mrs. Yu naturally has an edict in her body, so she doesn't have to kneel. Zhou Qingnian also asked her to move a small stool for her to sit on. Mrs. Yu sat emptyly. I heard Governor Zhou ask her about taking Wang's mother and son to Mufu.

Mrs. Yu felt that she was extremely wronged, and no matter how ignorant she was, she would not take a man to the home of a filial orphan girl. Then he opened his mouth and replied: "My lord Mingjian, the concubine has never brought this Mu Cai to Mu Mansion, even the concubine herself, and she has never seen this person. ”

It's no wonder that Mrs. Yu can't recognize it, this Mu Cai had bad intentions that day, deliberately dressed as a woman, and put a thick rouge gouache on her face, and later suffered a lot in Zhuangzi, and her face was already as withered and haggard, and it was strange that Mrs. Yu could recognize him as the ugly girl that day.

Mu Cai hurriedly defended, "I pretended to be a woman and went with my mother." Governor Zhou heard Mu Cai's words and asked him why he wanted to pretend to be a woman and go to Mu Mansion. Mu Cai said: "I just heard that Mufu carved beams and painted buildings, and I wanted to go and see it." ”

Zhou Qingnian naturally knew that he was talking nonsense, and he didn't want to entangle with him here. He continued to ask Mrs. Yu.

Mrs. Yu had already regretted her intestines, but she had no choice but to continue to reply and tell her about the events of the day. "Back to the adult's words, that day Miss Mu moved out of the governor's mansion to live elsewhere, the concubine and a few good wives, thinking that Miss Mu is really young, at first glance grief, and there is no elder brother and sister at home to take care of, and she has to deal with such a big thing as moving, I am afraid that she will be inconsiderate. Thinking that everyone is a neighbor, they made an appointment to prepare some daily necessities to take to Miss Mu's house, and if there is anything to help, we can also help. ”

Mrs. Yu paused and continued: "This Wang family was indeed brought by the concubine that day, and the Wang family claimed that he had never seen such a big mansion and wanted to see it. The concubine was confused for a while and responded to her. ”

When Yu Tuiguan heard this, his heart rose again, but he was worried that he could not arbitrarily interrupt the questioning in the court, so he could only be secretly anxious. I heard Mrs. Yu continue: "This Wang family did bring a girl with him, but there is a big gap between that girl and this Mu Cai, and they are by no means the same person. ”

Although Mrs. Yu is young and arrogant, she is not stupid. In fact, she also beat the drum in her heart about whether the ugly girl and this Mu Cai were alone, but she knew that she must not admit it, otherwise, if she didn't say anything else, Yu Tuiguan would have to eat her raw.

Zhou Qingnian motioned to Mrs. Yu to continue, "When we arrived at Mu's mansion, we found that although Miss Mu was young, she handled family affairs in an orderly manner. Mrs. Yu continued.

Zhou Qingnian asked Mu Cai what else to say, and Mu Cai hurriedly shouted: "That girl is really me, I had a stomachache as soon as I entered Mu Mansion, and I wanted to go to the toilet, but I ran into that wild man, and I was killed like this." ”

Zhou Qingnian said: "Mrs. Yu said that it was not you, you had to say that it was you." This official assumes that what you say is true, that is, you bumped into a man in Mufu, how do you know that that man is what you call a wild man? Could it be that Mu Qingqing was with her at that time? ”

Mrs. Yu was anxious when she heard this, and even said that it was impossible, "That maid did go to the toilet, but how could the concubine and several wives wait for her, and went straight to the Mufu Water Pavilion, at that time, Miss Mu was already waiting in the Water Pavilion, and it was only a few steps before and after, and Miss Mu couldn't fly, how could she be bumped into elsewhere." Also, when the concubine left, the maid left with the concubine, how could she be killed in Mufu. ”

That day, Mu Cai was indeed caught by Xiao Lanwei in the Mu Mansion, and I heard that he entered the Mansion to harm Mu Qingleng, this lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth immediately ordered Chang Lin to clean him up. However, Wang thought that he had succeeded, and when Mrs. Yu asked her about the girl, she was afraid that Mrs. Yu would spoil the good things of the two of them, so she said that the girl would follow at the back.

The girl left Mufu well, these words were said by the Wang family herself. If that girl was really Wang's son and was killed in Mufu, why did Wang lie at that time. There is no need for others to ask this, and Wang himself can't say it, because once he says it truthfully, Mu Cai's life is absolutely not guaranteed. Even if Mu Cai looks like this now, he is the only son of the Wang family after all, and she is reluctant to die of Mu Cai. So for Mrs. Yu's words, she scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously, but she didn't know how to refute it.

Zhou Qingnian was shocked and said: "This case is basically clear, no matter who the maid who entered Mufu that day was, she left Mufu safely, and this person had no possibility of bumping into Mu Qingling when he was in Mufu, and naturally there was no motive to be killed, so Mu Cai inadvertently bumped into Mu Qingling in Mufu and had a tryst with someone and then was killed. Bold Wang and Mu Cai, what are your mother and son trying to slander Mu Qingling's reputation? ”

Seeing that Mu Qingling's sin of fornication with others was about to be cleared away, Mu Qiwen was anxious and shouted: "My lord, Mu Qingling disappeared in Yunwai Temple a few days ago and did not return all night; Mu Qingling took in a young man of unknown origin at home, these two things are true, I hope the adults will see it! ”

"Suffice, you have mentioned the so-called man over and over again, and I ask you, what is that man's name, and where is he now? Also, what proof do you have for saying that Mu Qingling didn't return all night? Zhou Qingnian shouted.

Mu Qiwen opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, that man was only seen by Mu Cai, but now Mu Cai's words have been confirmed to be false. As for Mu Qingling's failure to return all night, in addition to the monks in the temple that night, there were only Mu Fuzhong and the thieves who attacked the temple at night. Mu Qiwen took great pains to find out the news from the mouth of a rough subordinate, but this person had no possibility of testifying in court, and it was a heinous crime to accuse the master.

As for others, whether monks or thieves, it is even less likely to testify.

was originally nine out of ten, but now after the trial, it has become nothing! Mu Qiwen has long since lost his knowledge of how to deal with it.

Zhou Qingnian saw that the big thing had been accomplished, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. The reason why he wanted to carefully examine the so-called Mu Qingling's adultery was because the Mu clan had already shouted out at the gate of Mu Mansion. The most inexplicable thing is that even if Mu Qing is beautiful and beautiful, it is difficult to ensure that someone takes it seriously.

Now that the case is being questioned, it is clear and irrefutable, and everything is just slander.

Zhou Qingnian was about to announce the verdict, when he heard Wang crying loudly: "My lord, wronged, all this is what Mu Qiwen forced our mother and son to say, if our mother and son don't listen to his slander Miss Mu, he will kill our mother and son, my son's leg has been broken by him, I am really afraid that he will really harm my son's life again, all the mistakes are my fault, it is my lard that blinded my heart, I listened to Mu Qiwen's words to slander Miss Mu, the adult wants to beat and kill, the woman has no complaints, begging the adult to spare the child." ”
