Jiang Duan cleared his throat, glanced at the Zhou family and the Liu family who were kneeling on the ground, and turned back to the topic: "Since this dynasty, the Hu people have knocked on the side, the war has continued, the people have weakened, and the general of Zhenguo has a heroic name. When a girl gets married, a widow naturally doesn't need to keep the festival, since Lang has a concubine who is interested, and Han Lin is a strong and strong person, Zhou and Liu, both marry into the Han family! Give birth to a few more good sons and daughters who guard the border for Daqi!! ”

Mingyue was almost drowned by her own saliva, this reason is too sufficient, and it suddenly rose to the safety of the Great Qi Country, in order to give birth to a few more strong men to guard the frontier for the Great Qi Country, the widows have to remarry and have babies!!

Wait a minute! Listen to the voice, this idea is still the Zhenguo General's Mansion to petition the emperor, no need to ask, it must be Li Fang's idea for his Lao Tzu!! is clearly making excuses for the countless warblers and Yanyan in his backyard! What a thriving !!

Mingyue looked at Li Fang suspiciously, and sure enough, she saw Li Fang's arrogant face.

Lin Zhengyang flicked his sleeves angrily and shouted: "The ancestors have training, a good woman does not marry a second husband, her husband obeys her words, and her husband dies to observe the festival for a hundred years." Liu's crimes are threefold, one is that he did not observe festivals for his deceased husband and had a close relationship with others; 2. Intolerant and open-minded, disregarding the lives of others; Three ......"

Lin Zhengyang brushed his beard, thought for a moment and said: "If you don't strictly detain your children, your notoriety will spread far and wide......."

Mingyue's face changed suddenly, a mouthful of old blood was blocked in her throat, she couldn't go up, she couldn't go down, her eyes looked at Su Hongtu angrily, she knew that this Su Hongtu didn't do things once and for all, this Lin Zhengyang, is he his own master in this regard? Doesn't the lawyer protect the interests of the parties? This is clearly the rhythm of going to death, and it is not as tolerant as the other party said that marrying together as a concubine of the Han family!!

Su Hongtu felt Mingyue's horizontal eyebrows coldly, and whispered to Lin Zhengyang: "Master Lin, Master Lin, I asked you to come to defend the Liu family!" ”

Lin Zhengyang said with a righteous face: "I am a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and I must defend the etiquette of the Son of Heaven!" In the name of Liu's chastity, the deceased husband Yin's family will also thank the contemptible people, and the Liu family will avoid the suffering of the corpse of the underworld!! ”

Su Hongtu was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and his nose and sideburns were sweating. Mr. Li frowned and asked in a low voice: "Hongtu is a little safer, Mr. Lin is a well-known teacher in Leyang County; Jiang Gongzi is a well-known gentleman in Leyang County, listening to the two of them refute the text, it is better to read for ten years, and it is reasonable to win or lose. ”

Looking at the appearance, it is to see the editorial refutation.

Cheng Hong knocked on the wood slightly, and said with an unentertaining look: "Two teachers, today's case, first refute the murder case, and then talk about the relationship between children and daughters, the cause of the matter is unknown, Zhou's murder is also suicide has not yet been clarified, it is too early to talk about marriage, and the witnesses will be summoned." ”

Li Chengyue got the order and brought one person up, as honest as a piece of soil on the ground, thrown in the crowd of villagers and disappeared in an instant.

Cheng Hongluo asked loudly, "Who is coming?" ”

The person shrank and said: "Back to the adult, the small one is Liu Er, who is in the same village as the Zhou family, when the Zhou family drifted to the shore, it was the small one who reached out to rescue, at that time the Zhou family had tears in his eyes, and he was silent, and when he was sent back to the Zhou family, it was a matter of women's name, and the eldest brother of the Zhou family gave the small one a hanging of money, and told the small one not to say it." ”

Cheng Hong nodded slightly yes, and then asked: "What was Zhou's physical condition at that time, maybe walking on his own?" ”

The person who came tried to recall and replied: "Lord Hui, although Zhou's body was paralyzed at that time, his legs should be intact. ”

"For more than half a year, has the Zhou family been in the village?"

The man tried to recall, first shook his head, then nodded, and hesitated: "Back to my lord, this Zhou family was rescued a few days ago and went to the field to dig vegetables, and soon disappeared the shadow, the villagers thought that Zhou went back to his mother-in-law's house, and only saw Zhou out of the house a few days ago, according to the eldest brother of the Zhou family, Zhou has been living in the house for half a year because of a leg injury, and has never come out." ”

Cheng Hong looked at Zhou with a cold eye and said: "Zhou, when you fell into the water, your leg was not injured, and then you disappeared, why didn't you return to the Han family, so that everyone in Xiangyang Village thought that you were no longer alive?" ”

Zhou bit his lower lip tightly and shrunk and said: "Back to my lord, the people's daughter's leg injury was pushed down the river by the Liu family for many days before it recurred, and the elder brother was afraid that the villagers would rumor that the people's daughter was an idle eater, so he hid it from everyone in the village until the leg injury was half healed, and then returned to Xiangyang Village. ”

This was said very beautifully, without the slightest resentment caused by Liu's pushing her into the water, Lin Zhengyang and Jiang Du nodded at the same time, and it was rare that they did not interject.

Cheng Hongluo's face was solemn, and he was dissatisfied and said again: "This official said that this case is not a matter of taking a concubine, but a matter of harming people, Zhou said that Liu's pushed him into the river, and Liu said that Zhou's committed suicide and jumped into the river, and half a year has passed. ”

Liu looked at Zhou with tears in his eyes, and then looked at the Han father and son with an expectant face, shook his head and said: "Lord Hui, what the folk girl has done will not be denied, at that time Zhou did jump into the river by herself, at that time the two of us were talking, saying that her husband stretched out his hand and slapped her, just finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and threw himself into the water, I only had time to grab her hand sleeve, thinking about it has palpitations." ”

"Zhou said that he didn't say why her father-in-law beat her?" Cheng Hong asked cautiously.

Liu looked at Zhou for a long time, sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "No, the folk girl doesn't know." ”

Cheng Hongluo looked like he hated iron and steel, it was this matter, he couldn't figure it out, Liu obviously knew the inside story, no matter how she asked, she didn't say it; Han's father and son also obviously knew the inside story, no matter how they asked, they didn't say anything; The strangest thing is Yin Mingyue's attitude, even if she wants to save the Liu family, she doesn't say how Ren Chenghong induces and persuades.

Where did Cheng Hongluo know, Mingyue was not afraid of ruining Zhou's reputation, she was afraid of saying that Zhao Ergou had an affair with Zhou, and then pulled out the fact that Zhao Ergou died, Zhou's murder was wronged, Zhao Ergou's death and Mingyue were inseparable, and she did it herself.

Lin Zhengyang bowed forward and said: "My lord, the Zhou family has been married into the Han family for 19 years, has a son of Han Xing, served the death of his in-laws, has not spoken with the clan, is in harmony with the neighbors, has not contracted a vicious disease, and has the amount of tolerating the Liu family as a concubine, has not committed seven crimes, there is no reason to commit suicide, and he must have been harmed by others." ”

This other person, it goes without saying, is Liu's.

Jiang Du shook his head and said, "No, no, no, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, how can you and I get a glimpse of it?" It must be that Zhou saw that her husband was having an affair with someone else, and wanted to beat the woman's theory, but it is not known that she was pushed down the river in disgust. ”

This other person, it goes without saying, is also Liu's.

Mingyue affirmed that these two masters were invited by the Zhou family, even if they didn't want to die, the Liu family's crime of seducing Han Lin was knocked to death.

Cheng Hong shook his head slightly, looked at Liu with a focused gaze and said, "Liu, don't you tell you what you know at this time?" ”

Liu looked at Zhou with a complicated expression, but finally didn't speak.

The villagers have already struck up their heads, scolding Liu's vicious and obscene.

Wei Zhixing coughed lightly and handed a slip of paper to Li Chengyue, Li Chengyue looked at the ghost arc on the slip, and handed it to Master Cheng for some reason.

After Lord Cheng saw it, he was overjoyed, and Zhou said: "Zhou, you have been living in Zhou's house for more than half a year since you returned home?" Never left? ”

Zhou nodded, and Lord Cheng asked the eldest brother of the Zhou family again, and the eldest brother of the Zhou family also nodded firmly.

A trace of cunning suddenly flashed in the eyes of Lord Cheng, who had always been solemn, and he said with a smooth chin: "Since the tenth day of June when the Zhou family jumped into the river and committed suicide to the twentieth day of the lunar month, it lasted more than six months and two hundred days, according to the Zhou family eating half a catty of wheat every day, at least half a stone of wheat should be eaten in the past six months, and according to the villagers, after the Zhou family's wheat was handed over to the public grain, there were only less than two stones left, a family of four, not counting the Zhou family, only barely eating until now, but your family still has a surplus, Zhou Dalang, this Zhou family, you still insist that you stay in the Zhou family and not elsewhere?" ”

The eldest brother of the Zhou family knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Back to my lord, the little sister is injured, and the family is eating and drinking for her, and they bought rice and grain for her to make up for her body......"

Cheng Hong snapped slightly, threw a stack of papers in his hand in front of the hall, and said without anger: "Zhou Dalang, paper can't contain the fire, the county's Chen family, Liu family, Song family and other large and small twelve grain stores, this lawsuit has been found out, none of the business books have the name of your Zhou family, if the Zhou family lives in the Zhou family, why haven't the Zhou family dried clothes and washed shoes in the past six months?" The neighbors have never seen Zhou go out to bask in the sun or go to the thatched house? '

Zhou Dalang's face froze, and his panic was even worse, and he hurriedly defended: "My lord Mingjian, my sister's legs and feet are not good, so she can't get out of the house...... The little one didn't go to the county to buy food, and the family was tight, and there was no surplus silver, so she could only rely on wild vegetables to make a living, so the girl became so thin......"

"Tight days? Don't have any money left? Zhou Dalang, June 20, you bought two copper mirrors at Liu's grocery store; On the second day of the seventh month, you bought two silver hairpins in the Song family's silver jewelry shop; On the sixth day of the seventh month, you bought two pink muslin cloths in the silk and satin Zhuangzi of the He family...... "Cheng Hongluo told the story one by one, and calculated that it cost more than ten taels of silver.

After listening to Cheng Hongluo's question, Zhou Dalang's daughter-in-law's eyes immediately stood up, originally thinking that she had a good life for two days by selling Zhou's light, buying hairpins, copper mirrors, and silk, but now she knew that all the good things Zhou Dalang bought were bought in double copies, and she only got one of them......

After the numbers were finished one by one, Cheng Hongluo's eyes shot at Zhou Dalang like lightning and said, "You, where did all this silver come from?" Where has Zhou gone in the past six months? A brothel? Dark kiln? ”

Zhou Dalang kowtowed again and again: "My lord, there is absolutely nothing, there is absolutely nothing, the small one just sold the ancestral treasure and got twenty taels of silver......"

"What treasure?"

"Where do you sell to?"

......

Cheng Hong pressed step by step, Zhou Dalang became more and more chaotic, and he had no power to fight back at all, Cheng Hong said with a little righteousness: "You are a small family, you thought about selling your daughter-in-law and son when you were the poorest, how can you have treasures and hide them until now?" There is clearly something unspeakable! A number of teenagers have recently disappeared in the county, and I am afraid it is related to the unknown source of your huge wealth!! Come!!! Torture!! ”
