091. Rashomon in Suncheonfu
The room was silent for a while, and no one spoke.
Only Qingrong remained awake and continued to ask Mei Zhen: "It's all come to this point, why don't their families leave you?" ”
Mei Zhen cried: "My man is in our family. The dowry he lives in now is the dowry left to me by my father. At first, he and his old mother were honest, but who would have thought that my father and mother were gone, and they showed their true colors. I want to reconcile with him, but once I sue the government, I will have to return all the land and real estate to me. Naturally, they didn't agree, so they thought about killing me first. ”
Runrong said curiously: "Since you escaped from there, why didn't you go to the government to complain immediately?" ”
Mei Zhen was sad and hateful, gritted her teeth and cried: "Why didn't you go, the one who killed a thousand knives united with his wife, but said that I was crazy, and brought the neighbors to testify." The lord of the government doesn't believe me. When Mei Chen said this, she couldn't help crying helplessly.
Only then did the county lord of Huatang suddenly realize, "So you can only escape first, protect yourself and then slowly try to figure it out." ”
Mei Zhen nodded, crying all her tears, her voice was extremely hoarse, "I have to live for my eldest girl, and see how those wolf-hearted people will be punished!" ”
This is clearly a story about being deceived by a phoenix man and plotting to seize the family property.
Runrong looked at Mei Zhen with infinite sympathy, and said faintly: "We are very sympathetic to your experience, but ......" Before she finished speaking, she looked at Lord Huatang and Qingrong in embarrassment, wanting to hear what the two of them thought.
Qingrong almost didn't hesitate, and said categorically: "You can stay with peace of mind." ”
Lord Huatang seemed to have known that Qingrong would say this, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It's just a hooligan, as long as I am in one day, I will protect you for one day." ”
When Mei Zhen heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and kowtowed gratefully.
On the second day, the hot spring Zhuangzi, who was only waiting for female guests, entered the man, and it spread all over the city.
It is said that the county lord of Huatang sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, and he doesn't know who he is secretly doing shady things.
Some people say conclusively that it is not the first time they have seen a man enter the hot spring Zhuangzi and Hui Jing She.
Negative public opinion came like a landslide and tsunami, and it came unexpectedly, and even the Hui Qin Jingshe was implicated, and no one came to the door.
Qingrong always felt that this matter seemed to be deliberately guided, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a pit.
Who knew that the disaster was not a one-way street, and in the afternoon of the same day, someone from Shuntian Mansion came to invite the lord of Huatang County to come to the church. It was the man who said it was Mei Zhen who sued them for abducting and selling women from good families.
At that time, Qingrong returned to the Huizhi Jingshe to deal with the rumors in Beijing.
Originally, they all thought that the county lord of Huatang would deal with the people of Shuntian Mansion alone, which was really more than enough, who would have thought that the county lord of Huatang would return with a feather. As soon as he returned to the hot spring Zhuangzi, he took Qingrong and Runrong to confront Mei Zhen.
"You said that your man and mother-in-law killed your daughter, but they said that you killed your own child and went crazy, and there was all the evidence?" The county lord of Huatang was very hesitant in his eyes, and stared at Mei Zhen tightly.
Mei Zhen's face was also flushed, and she swore to the sky: "The slave dares to swear to the sky, if there is a lie, the sky will thunder!" ”
"What the hell is going on?" Qingrong looked at the great contrast of the Huatang County Lord, and asked with great curiosity.
The county lord of Huatang sat in the chair unhappily, fanned the wind with his hand, and said: "As soon as I arrived in Fengtian Mansion, Sun Zhigao preemptively said that I abducted and sold women from good families. I told what Mei Zhen said yesterday with Shuntianfu Yin and Sun Zhigao. Who would have thought that Sun Zhigao said that it was clear that Mei Zhen was domineering and ruthless. She had a bad heart first, and wanted to poison the concubine, who knew that the medicine was eaten by her own child. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she went crazy. ”
Mei Zhen cried: "The conscience of heaven and earth, all of them are people who have children and daughters as mothers, even if they compare their hearts with their hearts, I will not harm other people's children." ”
The county lord of Huatang ignored Mei Zhen, but looked at Qingrong and said: "There are both physical and human evidence in this matter, and Nafu Yin also said that Ming'er will still be promoted to the court, and when the time comes, bring over the human and physical evidence, so that we can be convinced." ”
Runrong was a little dazed, and said confusedly: "Then, what the hell is going on?" She said, looking at Mei Zhen hesitantly.
Mei Zhen cried aggrievedly: "County lord, young lady, eldest girl, please believe me, the slave didn't lie, the slave didn't lie!" ”
Qingrong didn't express any opinions, but just glanced at Mei Zhen with a gloomy gaze, and said quietly: "Someone is lying after all, don't worry, it can't be fake, it can't be fake." ”
Shuntianfu went to the hall again, and Qingrong went with the lord of Huatang with Meichen.
Because Mrs. Jiang was not worried about Qingrong, a little girl entered the yamen, so she specially told Song Zhao to accompany her to escort her.
Several people arrived at the gate of the public court, got off the carriage, and met Sun Zhigao's mother and son and concubine Meng who arrived together.
The appearance of these three people is very different from what Qing Rong imagined.
Sun Zhigao was wearing an ink-colored straight embellished, and there was not even a pattern on it, which was very plain. He was born with a long body and clear eyebrows. The appearance is polite, elegant and modest, and it doesn't look like the kind of person who spoils his wife and kills his concubine and murders his relatives as Mei Zhen said.
The grandmother was wearing an ordinary coarse cloth jacket and skirt, and she looked a little shabby. is also a kind and kind look, and it is not like the fierce and vicious tiger aunt that Mei Zhen said.
Even the concubine Meng was dressed plainly, and she looked like she was being bullied.
Song Zhao looked at it coldly, and asked Qingrong in a low voice, "You believe Mei Zhen like this?" I look at Sun Zhigao's family, don't look like some bad guys? ”
Although Qingrong didn't fully believe in Mei Zhen, she didn't quite agree with Song Zhao's words, she sneered, and said in a low voice: "People can't look good, the prince is a lot older, do you still think that bad guys will write bad guys on the door of their heads?" ”
Song Zhao raised the bar and said: "There is another sentence, called noodles are born from the heart." ”
As he spoke, he had already entered the lobby of Shuncheonfu. The officials on both sides shouted mighty, and Fu Yin knocked on the wood of his life.
Qingrong originally thought that he would shout who was in the hall, but who knew that this Shuntianfu Yin entered today's topic in a short and flat manner, and directly asked people to bring witnesses to the court.
The so-called witnesses are just neighbors around Mei Zhen's house, as well as the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.
Shuntianfu Yin seemed to be very impatient with this case, and said to the county lord of Huatang: "Yesterday, the county lord said that the Liu family said that he was abused by Sun Zhigao, and today he invited the neighbors near the Liu family. Fu Yin said very casually: "Where are the neighbors? Come and talk to the county lord about what kind of person the mother and son of the Sun family are. ”
A few people who were summarized by the neighborhood, you look at me, I look at you, stepped forward in a very orderly manner, one by one: "If you go back to the adult, the mother and son of the Sun family are well-known good people in our Zhuangzi, who are willing to give and be kind to others." Always help our neighbors. ”
"Mr. Sun has read books and has also taken the test for fame, and he will teach the boys in our neighborhood to read every day."
"Mrs. Sun also gave food to the beggars passing by in the Zhuangzi for a long time, copper coins, and she is the most kind-hearted old lady."
Shuntianfu Yin said: "Did the mother and son of the Sun family abuse and scold the Liu family?" ”
Another said: "If you go back to the adult, the Liu family is behind our courtyard, and we have never seen the mother and son of the Sun family beat and scolded the Liu family." It's Liu, who has a strong temper. Because Mr. Sun is a son-in-law, their mother and son are not less angry with the Liu family. ”
Shuntian Mansion Yin looked at the county lord of Huatang with an expression of what I said, and said, "Is there anything else the county lord has to ask?" ”
The county lord of Huatang was a little stunned, turned his head to look at Mei Zhen, and said, "What they said is right?" ”
Mei Zhen's expression was complicated, and she only said: "Mother-in-law does often give alms to beggars, and Sun Zhigao does teach the boys in Zhuangzi to read." But they did beat me. Mei Zhen said, rolled up his sleeves, and showed everyone in the hall such as Yin and Huatang County Lords of Shuntian Mansion, Qingrong and others.
"If she hadn't been forced to do this, the concubine would never have shown these to others."
Mei Zhen's two arms are crisscrossed with scars, and Qingrong can't see why, but the injuries look really terrible.
When Mrs. Sun saw this, she cried aggrievedly, and whispered: "Mei Zhen, being a man is about conscience, and you know best how those injuries on your body came about." Why did you come to wronged my son with empty words and white teeth? ”
Sun Zhigao lowered his head and was silent, so Mrs. Sun stepped forward to pull Sun Zhigao's arm and showed it to everyone, "Originally, the family was ugly and could not be publicized, but today my daughter-in-law is crazy like this, and my old woman is really helpless." Look at it, look at it! ”
But seeing that Sun Zhigao's arms are also crisscrossed with scars, which are basically the same as plum marks.
Mei Zhen was stunned on the spot, and muttered in a low voice: "How can this be, how can he have injuries on his body." ”
Mrs. Sun continued to mourn and weep: "My son is a son-in-law, but he is also a person. He is your husband, even if you don't treat him as a god, it's a good husband and wife for a hundred days. Why are you so ruthless and ruthless? ”
Qingrong listened to this, and the old lady was in a trance.
Mei Zhen's body trembled, and she said angrily: "I don't, my temper is a little harder, but I put him first in everything." Who knew he was ......"
Meng Shi knelt on the ground and said, "Sister, all the mistakes are my fault. If it weren't for my husband's pity on me and his refusal to let me in, I wouldn't be like this now. Sister, my child is gone. If you can't get angry, kill me. But please don't do this to your husband. The husband is a trustworthy person, he promised Master Liu and the old lady to take care of you for the rest of his life, and he will never break his promise. ”
Seeing Meng Shi like this, Mei Zhen was simply angry, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”
Meng Shi cried sadly: "Sister, as long as you go back with us, if you want to kill or chop, I will rely on you to fall." ”
The truth of Mei Zhen's marriage to Sun Zhigao has obviously fallen into Rashomon, and Mei Zhen is even more angry, and the neighbors are angry at this time.
Qingrong felt that this scene was a little familiar?
