Chapter 92 Seven in the Northern Song Dynasty
The girl rescued by this cup is called Shi Lamei, a villager from Shuiwa Village upstream. Shi Lamei's family is wealthy, her father is a large landowner in the village, and her family has 100 acres of fertile land. Shi Lamei is her father's only daughter, and Shi's father decides to recruit a son-in-law for his daughter, and his daughter and grandson will inherit the family business.
Father Shi chose a descendant named Yin Yougen in the village to be his future son-in-law. Yin Yougen is honest and has many brothers in the family, so he is most suitable for being a door-to-door son-in-law. Therefore, Shi's father betrothed his daughter to Yin Yougen a year ago. Where do you think that knowing people and knowing faces do not know their hearts, and honest people are the easiest to be tempted.
Although this Yin Yougen is honest, his family is not all honest people, and he wants to return the Shi family's fields to his own family, and often whispers in Yin Yougen's ear, asking him to receive the land in his own name after the death of the Shi family's parents. After saying this for a long time, Yin Yougen also coveted the Shi family's family business.
Half a year ago, the Shi family took in a woman, Cuihong, who was the daughter of Shi's father's sister, and was taken into care by Shi's father because of the death of her parents. This Cui Hong was born poor but greedy for money, she was extremely jealous of Shi Lamei and coveted the Shi family's property, so she had bad thoughts about Shi Lamei and the Shi family's parents.
Cuihong secretly seduced Yin Yougen, reached an agreement with the Yin family, and secretly killed the three members of the Shi family, Yin Yougen and Cuihong became married, the two shared fifty acres of fertile land, and the Yin family shared fifty acres of fertile land. They originally planned to kill Shi Lamei after Yin Yougen and Shi Lamei got married, but Cuihong came forward to persuade Shi Jia's parents to let her marry Yin Yougen and continue the connection between the two. Unexpectedly, Cui Hong and Yin Yougen were discovered by Shi Lamei when they were stealing green, and the two could only take the lead to get rid of Shi Lamei.
Shi Lamei only thought that Cuihong and Yin Yougen were in love, and she didn't know their vicious intentions, and she wanted to cancel the marriage contract to fulfill the two, but she didn't know that the two united with the Yin family to frame her. They bribed a hooligan and asked him to molest Shi Lamei, and then led the villagers to see this scene, so that the villagers mistakenly thought that Shi Lamei and the hooligans were stealing green, ruining the reputation of Shuiwa Village. At the instigation of the Yin family, Shuiwa Village used lynching to sink Shilamei into the river.
Before Shi Lamei was thrown into the river, she saw Yin Yougen and Cuihong's smug expressions, Fang understood that she was calculated by the two, and hated the two of them in her heart, and she had a strong will to survive, so she broke free from the shackles of the rope and wanted to escape ashore, but she was overwhelmed and almost drowned, but fortunately she was rescued by Ding Mancang.
Shi Lamei is just a village girl, and the most powerful people she knows are the village chief and the patriarch of the Shi family. Therefore, after hearing from Man Cangniang that one of the people who saved her was Xiucai Gong, she begged Man Cangniang to see Xiu Cai Gong and asked Xiu Cai Gong to help her make the decision.
Ding Wenan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, Xiucai Ye is just a higher social status, and he is not as good as the head of a village in terms of real power. But touching the longing little eyes of Shimame......
Ding Wen'an said: "Xiucai Gong has no right to deal with the affairs of your village. However, I can help you write a petition and send you to the county seat to sue Yin Yougen, Cuihong and the Yin family. Don't worry, I know the prefectural magistrate and will help you speak. ”
Shi Lamei was disappointed when she heard Ding Wen'an's words in front, and when she heard the back, her eyes lit up again. Sure enough, Xiucai Gong is powerful, and he also knows the county magistrate.
Shi Lamei wanted to kneel down for Ding Wen'an again, but was stopped by Mancang Niang.
"Please help the little girl write a copy of the paper immediately, and the little woman will go to the county seat to find the county magistrate to avenge her grievances."
Uncle Dong, the village head, hurriedly persuaded: "The girl was rescued from the river, and her body is weak, so she should recuperate again, and then go to the county seat to complain when she is well." ”
Shi Lamei shook her head violently after hearing this: "No, I must see the county magistrate early to expose the conspiracy of the Yin family and Cui Hong, lest they attack my parents." My parents were injured for preventing me from being thrown into the river, and I am afraid that they will take advantage of this opportunity to murder my parents. ”
"Yes, yes, listen to you, the Yin family and Cuihong are extremely vicious people, and your parents are defenseless against them, so it is easy to be poisoned by them." The village chief reacted, "In this way, I will let my eldest son put on an ox cart and send you to the county seat." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Village." Shi Lamei thanked Uncle Dong gratefully, the chief of the village was much more reasonable than the village chief of Shuiwa Village.
Ding Wen'an asked Ding Mancang to go to his house to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a piece of paper according to what Shi Lamei said. Uncle Dong had already asked his son Guangcai to set up the ox cart, and the fourth aunt helped Shi Lamei into the ox cart, and she also got in the car and accompanied Shi Lamei to the county seat. Ding Wenan also followed, and when he arrived at the yamen, he asked him to help open the joints.
With Ding Wen'an's relationship, Shi Lamei successfully met the county order and told the county order about her grievances. The county magistrate took Ding Wen'an's face very seriously, and immediately sent officials to Shuiwa Village to investigate, and detained the Yin family, Cuihong and the hooligans who were bought by Yin Yougen.
In fact, this matter is very simple, a little interrogation, the truth will come out. The Yin family, Yin Yougen, and Cuihong were all sentenced and enslaved, and the village chief of Shuiwa Village was also reprimanded by the county order for not knowing right and wrong and using lynching at will. The Shi family's parents were happy, not only did their daughter not die, but cleared their grievances and returned their innocence, and the two were grateful to Ding Wenan and Ding Mancang who saved their daughter. After the family of three recovered from their injuries, they came to thank Ding Wen'an, Ding Mancang and the village chief in person with generous gifts.
Father Shi looked at Ding Mancang very satisfied, this young man is good-looking and has skills, and he is still the benefactor of his daughter, it would be good if he could be his son-in-law. And Mancang Niang already regarded Shi Lamei as her future daughter-in-law when Ding Mancang went home with Shi Lamei, and at this time, she knew the other party's thoughts with Shi Father and Shi Mother's eyes, and had a tacit understanding in her heart.
"Mancang is a good young man, he is sturdy and can also use archery, and he will not let his wife and son have no meat to eat after he gets married." Shi Mu said with a smile.
Mancang Niang also smiled and praised Shi Lamei: "Lamei, this child is also filial piety." At that time, she had just been rescued from the water, and she was still wounded, but she was worried that the two of you would be killed by traitors, so she rewarded the county town for filing a complaint regardless of her own body. makes people pity and admire her. ”
"Full of ......"
"Rameta ......"
Ding Wenan poked Ding Mancang with his finger: "Your mother has helped you take care of your daughter-in-law." ”
Ding Mancang's face turned red, and he secretly glanced at Lamei, and joy flashed in his eyes.
Shi Lamei sensed Ding Mancang's eyes, her face also turned red, and her eyes were also full of joy.
"You're looking at the right eye."
