After about two incense sticks, Li Zheng came back with the rich man Liu Dawang, but there was no trace of peach blossoms. The fifth aunt asked anxiously: "What about my peach blossoms, why didn't my peach blossoms come back?" ”

Jiang Yucheng stared at Li Zheng with a cold face, "Didn't the official ask you to bring the peach blossoms with you?" ”

Li Zheng was about to reply, but was preempted by Liu Dawang, he smiled shyly: "Back to my lord, Peach Blossom is unwell, so Xiaomin let her rest at home, and if the adult has something to say, just ask Xiaomin." ”

Jiang Yucheng glanced at him and said to Li Zheng: "Go to his house and bring the peach blossoms over." ”

Seeing this, Liu Dawang hurriedly said: "My lord, Peach Blossom is already Xiaomin's concubine, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for my lord to do this, right?" ”

Li Zheng was still hesitating, Jiang Yucheng picked two young and strong young men from the Jiang family and asked them to accompany Li Zheng on a trip.

When Liu Dawang saw them leaving, he was annoyed in his heart, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, hoping that his wife at home could hide people well and not be found by them.

But the result disappointed him after all, when Li Zheng came to the door with two guys surnamed Jiang, Liu Dawang Zhengfang hurriedly asked his mother-in-law to take out the peach blossoms and threw them at the door for them to take away quickly, as if he was afraid of getting into some serious trouble.

Li Zheng took a closer look at Peach Blossom, only to realize that something was wrong, and Peach Blossom's appearance didn't look normal. She closed her eyes slightly, leaning quietly against the wall, her face pale without a trace of blood, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, and her teeth clenched her lips, as if she was enduring something painful.

At this time, he didn't care about the difference between men and women, Li Zheng ordered one of the guys to pick up the peach blossoms, and the group hurried to Jiangjia Village.

In Jiangjia Village, the five aunts who were looking forward to it were the first to see Li Zheng and his party, and when she saw Peach Blossom being carried, she stumbled forward, "Peach Blossom, what's wrong with you, Peach Blossom, don't scare your mother, Peach Blossom..."

The guy with the peach blossom on his back said, "Fifth aunt, let me put the peach blossom down first." ”

The fifth aunt came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly moved a few steps to the side, after the peach blossom was put down, she leaned weakly on the fifth aunt, and an enthusiastic aunt next to her saw this and hurriedly dragged a chair.

When Liu Dawang saw that the peach blossom was carried back, a coolness suddenly appeared on his back, and the peach blossom became like this, which was caused by his ignorance of the severity. He was a little nervous, and for a while he blamed his wife for not letting them bring people over, and for a while he thought that he couldn't let them know what Peach Blossom had gone through.

With a horizontal heart, he pointed to the guy who came back with peach blossoms on his back and said sharply: "Peach blossoms are my concubine, you thief dare to despise her, I won't let you go." ”

After speaking, he knelt down towards Jiang Yucheng and shouted, "My lord, please make the decision for Xiaomin." ”

Jiang Yucheng looked at Liu Dawang's acting expressionlessly, and Peach Blossom's appearance was obviously tortured. He asked the doctor to come, and everything was postponed until the doctor came.

The doctor came quickly, and after bowing to Jiang Yucheng roughly, he was dragged to check Peach Blossom's pulse. In the process of checking the pulse, the doctor's brows became tighter and tighter, and his face became more and more ugly.

"This girl took the medicine of the tiger and wolf when she was pregnant, and she did not recuperate after the miscarriage, which caused the symptoms of loss of qi and blood, weakness and sweating, even if she has a good body, I am afraid that the heirs are..."

The fifth aunt's heart was like a knife when she heard this, her good daughter was sold as a concubine, not to mention, she was tortured like an adult, and she couldn't have any more children in the future, and her whole life was ruined.

"You brute, brute." At this moment, hatred swallowed her heart, and she picked up the broom placed in the corner like crazy, and swung it vigorously towards Liu Dawang.

Liu Dawang is pampered on weekdays, where can he compare to the peasant woman who works all the year round, he can only dodge in embarrassment, the fifth aunt is crazy, the broom is densely smashed on his body like raindrops, she beats and scolds, venting her grief and anger.

No one stepped forward to stop it, and the people present basically watched the peach blossoms grow up, and when they saw the little girl who was tortured like this, they couldn't help but feel a little angry at Liu Dawang.

Fifth Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Hu were very scared, and the fifth aunt's crazy move scared them, for fear that the fifth aunt would come to beat them, and the mother and son shrank far away.

When the fifth aunt had no strength to fight, the clothes on Liu Dawang's body were also tattered, and his face was full of blood stains from broom wounds. He wept bitterly and begged Jiang Yu to be his own decision.

Jiang Yucheng called Fifth Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Hu forward: "Jiang Liu's family sued the three of you for forcing Liang to be concubines, do you admit it or not?" ”

Fifth Uncle Jiang and Hu Pozi were shocked and refused to admit it, Hu Pozi cried and said: "It's wronged, it's all that Liu Dawang who fell in love with the peach blossoms and forced us to sell people to him, and we were all forced by him." ”

Fifth Uncle Jiang also hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, it was Liu Dawang who forced me to sell the peach blossoms to him, and threatened me that if I didn't agree, I wouldn't be able to eat and go around." ”

The mother and son looked at me and accused Liu Dawang in one word, Liu Dawang was so angry that he trembled, he argued: "It's true that I fell in love with Peach Blossom, it's not that your mother and son are greedy for money and take the initiative to send people to my house, and they also said that I will dispose of them if they sell them, and your family will never have any dissatisfaction." Why, relying on the presence of the magistrate, he dared to turn his face and deny people? ”

No matter how Liu Dawang argued, Fifth Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Hu insisted that they were forced by him, and Liu Dawang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Jiang Yucheng looked at the three dog-eat-dog expressionlessly, and waited for them to get tired of fighting before he spoke: "Jiang Liu's family, your daughter remarried to the Jiang family with you, did she change her surname, and did she go to the Jiang family tree?" ”

The fifth aunt shook her head again and again, "Lord Hui, although Peach Blossom followed me to the Jiang family, she still followed her dead father's surname Jin, and she did not enter the Jiang family's genealogy." ”

Jiang Yucheng nodded, and asked Fifth Uncle Jiang if it was true, Fifth Uncle Jiang didn't dare to lie, so he had to admit it.

Jiang Yucheng continued to interrogate Liu Dawang, but Liu Dawang did not dare to hide it, and confessed his crime 1510.

"Since Peach Blossom's surname is Jin, and she has not entered the Jiang family tree, she is not considered a Jiang family, Jiang Wugen and Hu Pozi sold her to Liu Dawang without permission, and committed the crime of selling Liang as a concubine, Jiang Wugan has twenty rods and two years of detention, and Hu Pozi has ten canes and one year of detention; Liu Dawang forced Liang to be a concubine, and injured his body, the crime was unforgivable, he was given 30 rods, detained for five years, and compensated 50 taels of silver for golden peach blossoms. Jiang Yucheng announced in front of everyone in Jiangjia Village.

As soon as his words fell, the fifth aunt suddenly covered her face and cried, cried for a while, knelt down towards Jiang Yucheng, kowtowed, and said: "Thank you for presiding over justice for the people's wives and little women, and the adult's kindness and people's women will never dare to forget." ”

Jiang Yucheng stepped forward to help her up and said, "Fifth aunt, this is what I should do, you don't need to do it." ”

The fifth aunt wanted to say something, but she heard Jiang Yucheng say: "Fellow villagers, whether sons or daughters, are the flesh and blood of their parents. Now that the world is clear and the world is peaceful, everyone can be fed and clothed, and there is no need to sell women and children to make a living, I hope you can all treat your daughters well and don't let today's events repeat. You have also seen the fate of these three people, and if they commit another crime, they will be severely punished. ”

Hearing this, the big guy was silent, or Li Zheng was the first to respond, his family has two daughters, and now they are all at the age of marriage, he has always loved them, of course he will not do anything to damage his daughter's reputation.

After Li Zheng responded, a few more responded, and everyone present began to condemn the evil act of selling women, and Jiang Yucheng was very relieved to hear it.

After tossing around in Jiangjia Village for a day, it was dark after returning to Lingjiang Town, and after a hasty meal, Yan Niang and Jiang Yucheng planned to rest. The two were lying side by side, Yan Niang gently hooked her husband's fingers, and Jiang Yucheng immediately shook back.

"Husband, I think I'm very lucky to be able to meet a good person like you when I remarry." Thinking of what happened to the fifth aunt and Peach Blossom, Yan Niang couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Yucheng turned over to face her, put her hand on his chest, and said softly: "I look down on those who despise women the most in my life, you are my wife, since I married you, I should treat you well." As for Manman, her current surname is Jiang, and she is the daughter of my Jiang Yucheng, and I will never let her become the second peach blossom. ”

Yan Niang knew that he was a promise-worthy person, and as long as he promised something, he would definitely fulfill it, so she was not worried that he would become a person like Fifth Uncle Jiang.

Since marrying him, she has known that people are different, in the past, Ling Jiming disdained her because of her ugly appearance and fatness, and was extremely disgusted, but now although her face is not so ugly, she is still obese, Jiang Yucheng is not only not bored with her, but also very gentle and considerate.

I don't know how many good things I have done in my previous life to meet such a good husband.

Thinking about it, the child in her belly suddenly moved, and Yan Niang couldn't help but scream.

Jiang Yucheng hurriedly asked her what was wrong.

Yan Niang smiled and put his hand on the bulging lower abdomen, "The children were naughty and just kicked me." ”

Jiang Yucheng was interested when he heard this, leaned on Yan Niang's stomach, and whispered with hope: "Children, come and say hello to Daddy." ”

It's strange to say, as soon as Jiang Yucheng's words fell, a small bulging bag appeared on Yan Niang's stomach, as if she understood her father's words and greeted him through her belly.

Jiang Yucheng was surprised and delighted, and kept communicating with the children across the belly, and the little feet of the two children moved very frequently, which really made him feel the novelty and joy of being a first-time father.

Jiang Yucheng looks old and dignified in front of and behind others, and Yan Niang is the first time to see her husband's childish appearance, which adds a bit of attractive characteristics to his appearance.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yucheng returned to the county office. When it was almost noon, Leng Ruru came over with her second son, who had just turned four months, followed by her eldest son Changsheng. Her complexion didn't look very good, her steps were a little vain when she walked, and when she looked at Changsheng again, he also pursed his mouth and looked unhappy.

Mother Jiang hurriedly asked, Leng Ruru's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she said angrily: "My mother-in-law is so much that she forced her father to take a concubine." ”
