Lin Qiu'er no longer paid attention to them, and no longer talked to the people of the Tang family, but just looked at the county order and said, "My lord, this matter is a long story, and the cause of my man's matter has to be traced back to more than ten years ago." ”

"Really? So you come one by one. The county commander spoke.

Lin Qiu'er smiled and said: "My lord, I only married my man last year, and I also heard what others said before, so there must be some inaccuracies, so I invited the village chief of our Xinglin Village and some villagers, they all saw it with their own eyes back then, so what they said must not be false." ”

The county magistrate nodded and said, "Yes, you can invite the village chief up!" ”

Later, the village chief and the people from the village who came to testify came in, and the people who came were older than Tang Zhi'an, so they were clear about what happened back then.

"Knock on your lordship."

"Get up and talk back."

"Yes."

The county magistrate looked at the village chief and said, "You are the village chief of Xinglin Village?" ”

The village chief hurriedly replied, "Yes, the grass people are the village chief of Xinglin Village. ”

The county magistrate asked: "There is a reason why Tang Zhi'an's daughter-in-law said about Tang Zhi'an just now, can you talk about these things?" ”

The village chief nodded and said: "It's my lord, when Tang Zhian was just born, a fortune teller came to say that he was the fate of the evil star, so the people of the Tang family hated him very much, and sent him to his grandfather, who was just born at that time, and he has not been taken care of for so many years." “

The county magistrate nodded, looked at him and said, "Go on." ”

"Because of the name of this evil star, so the people in the village are reluctant to associate with him, after his grandparents died, he lived alone in the house outside the village, at that time he was still a child, so many years have always lived alone, but he said that he has not eaten a mouthful of food from the Tang family when he is so old, and he has worn a piece of clothing from their family."

After the village chief's words were finished, the people around him were stunned, they didn't expect that this person from the Tang family would be able to do such a thing.

The county commander looked at the people of the Tang family with sharp eyes and said, "Is what he said true?" ”

Tang Zheng and the Xu family have seen the biggest official is the village chief, and at this time, they were looked at by the county commander with such majestic eyes, and both of them trembled involuntarily, and they couldn't speak at all.

Tang Zhichang glanced at them, and secretly gritted his teeth with hatred, these two people are really stupid, now they are just being questioned by the county order, these people are scared like this, I really don't know how they lived to such an age.

Tang Zhichang glanced at the county order and said, "My lord, my father and mother also said that the third brother was a bad star because the fortune teller said that the third brother was a bad star, and they were afraid in their hearts, so they didn't raise him." “

The county magistrate patted the shocked wood, "Bastard, is it appropriate not to raise your own biological son for this reason alone?" ”

Tang Zhichang was frightened by the anger of the county order, he didn't expect that this county order would directly attack him.

Hurriedly said: "My lord, this is human nature, everyone will be afraid, this evil star will overcome people!" “

"Nonsense!" The county magistrate glared at Tang Zhichang, "It's a shame that you're still a scholar, and you don't know such a simple truth?" ”

Tang Zhichang's face turned pale, and the county order was clearly going to Tang Zhi'an, "My lord, although I know this, but my father and mother are villagers in the countryside, they will definitely be afraid if they don't know!" ”

"That can't erase the fact that they didn't raise Tang Zhi'an?"

Tang Zheng looked at the county order and said: "Yes, we admit that we did something wrong about my lordship, so we want to make up for it now, we want to go to their house to take care of him, and make up for everything he has suffered over the years." ”

Xu Shi also said: "That's right, we want to make up for it, but Tang Zhi'an and Lin Qiu'er don't agree, they don't want us to make it up, and they don't allow us to live in their house!" ”

Lin Qiu'er glanced at them and said, "My lord, I don't think they want to make it up, because they haven't looked at Ah Zhi for so many years, and now you don't believe it when they say they want to make it up to me." “

Xu looked at her and said, "Why don't you believe it? Shall our son not love him? ”

"Do you love him?" Lin Qiu'er sneered and said, "You love him and let him live alone for so many years, you haven't taken care of him, you haven't given him a bite of food, and now you have sent him to prison, do you think this is love for him?" “

The people around were stunned, they were just standing from the perspective of a bystander before, but now that they knew what happened, they were all stunned, and no one thought that there would be such a hidden situation.

The county magistrate looked at the people of the Tang family and said: "You came this time to sue your son for being unfilial, not that you make up for what happened to him before, so you don't talk about filial piety, don't say anything else, if you want to make up for it, he has to be willing to accept it." ”

Lin Qiu'er's eyes lit up, the county order's thoughts were so neat, the Tang family said so, he was not taken away at all, and directly opened his mouth to bring everyone's thoughts back on track.

The people of the Tang family nodded, "Yes, Tang Zhian is not filial, we want to make up for him, but he didn't agree at all." ”

The county commander sneered and said: "I have already said it just now, you want to make up for Tang Zhi'an's acceptance, if he doesn't agree, you can't force it, don't you understand my words?" ”

"My lord, we really want to make amends!"

The county commander snorted coldly and said, "Forget it, you shut up for me, Lin Qiu'er, this official asks you, have you done anything unfilial?" ”

Lin Qiu'er shook her head and said: "My lord, our husband and wife are really not unfilial people, this makes us separate the family documents, my lord, you can take a look, it is said above, we have to give them five taels of silver every month, my lord, you must know that in our countryside, a family may not earn five taels of silver a year, and as a result, their monthly offering will cost five taels of silver." ”

Hearing this, the people around were taken aback, "Five taels of silver a month?" ”

You must know that although they are also from the county, they may not be able to earn five taels of silver a month, and the family's support is five taels of silver a month, which is really scary, it is the countryside!

After the county magistrate read the family separation documents, his face became even more gloomy, "Tang Zheng, this is what you call unfilial piety?" You haven't raised Tang Zhi'an, but he gives you five taels of silver every month, even if so, do you still think he is not filial? ”

Tang Zheng's body trembled a little, he didn't know what was going on, and there was a feeling of discomfort in his heart, and it seemed that things had happened beyond their imagination.

Before, they thought too good, and felt that the emperor was a person who valued filial piety, so as long as they went to the county seat to sue Tang Zhi'an, then there would definitely be no problem.

But the attitude of the county commander was obvious, he believed Tang Zhi'an's words, which made the people of the Tang family very unhappy.

How can the prefectural order be like this? Obviously, all this is Tang Zhi'an's fault, why does the county order want to face him?

Xu's heart was very unhappy, although she was a little stupid, but she could still see it, "My lord, we just think that Tang Zhi'an is not filial to us, you can't go to their house because of a few words, this Lin Qiu'er is the best at talking nonsense." ”

There was a "snap" sound, and the county order slapped the startled wood fiercely.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did the official go to their house? Didn't you say they were unfilial? But now that the family documents are here, they also give five taels of silver every month behind closed doors, if you still think they are not filial, then I want to ask you, what do you think is filial piety to you? ”

The county order was already angry, but Xu didn't care at all, she thought that the county order was saying good things to her!

"My lord, he was born to me, even if I didn't raise him, so what? He must give us the silver, as it should be, and whoever asked me to give him a life, this is what he must give us back. “

After saying this, the faces of the Tang family were not good-looking, and the county commander looked at them with a mocking expression, "You dare to say that, he was born to you, but you didn't raise him, besides, you have already split up, and the family documents are here, is it too much for you to turn your head now and say that he is not filial?" “

Tang Zheng looked at the county order and said: "My lord, my son is really unfilial, not that the money is a problem, but that they are disrespectful to us, and they have a bad attitude when they speak, and they do it to us, scold us, and even his daughter-in-law pushed our wife to the ground." ”

The county magistrate glanced at Lin Qiu'er and said, "How do you explain this?" ”

Lin Qiu'er smiled faintly and said: "My lord, we can't be blamed for this, every time they come to our house to find trouble, either to ask for silver or to take advantage, do you think we can have a good face for them?" ”

The county magistrate pondered for a while and said: "Although this can be said, you have to explain clearly what you did to your elders, otherwise this charge of unfilial piety will still not be cleared." “

Lin Qiu'er thought for a while and said, "After I beat them out with a broom last time, they had to put the holy decree in their ancestral hall, and as a result, the whole family came to trouble our family, so I kicked them out. “

When the county magistrate heard that it was related to the holy decree, his face changed, "What's going on in your family?" You have all dared to think about the matter of the Holy Decree, and you are really bold. “

Tang Zheng hurriedly said: "No, we don't have the idea of fighting the holy decree, we just want to enshrine the holy decree in our Tang family's ancestral hall." ”

The county magistrate looked at him and said, "Where to put this holy decree is decided by the person who received the holy decree, what qualifications do you people have to decide?" ”

Tang Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, so we want to go to Tang Zhian to discuss and ask him to agree!" We really didn't push him. ”

Lin Qiu'er snorted and said, "No persecution? When you came over, you were obviously persecuted as your father, didn't you? ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Qiu'er looked at the county order and said: "We have never done anything too much, it's just that we feel that we shouldn't have a good face for them at all, although they are Ah Zhi's father, but they have always called him nemesis, and they have never called his name at all." ”
