But no matter how much he pulled his clothes out, it didn't work. He quietly glanced at the magistrate who was standing not far away, and the magistrate's face was now so dark that it couldn't be darker anymore. He panicked and looked at the woman a little confused. The woman pursed her lips, walked to Zhao's mother's side and squatted down, putting her hand on Zhao's mother's hand, "That you,"

Before the woman's words were finished, she was thrown out by Zhao's mother. She wasn't squatting very steadily, but when she was thrown by Mother Zhao like this, she fell directly backwards and sat on the ground. It's winter, and it's cold and hard here. The woman sat on the ground and barely got up. Mother Zhao was a little panicked, but she didn't speak because of this.

She raised her head again and looked at the head of the forest, who saw that the woman she liked was pushed to the ground, and she couldn't pull people if she wanted to, and her face was very bad. But Mother Zhao didn't seem to see it, and then pulled the clothes of the head of the forest and cried, "The head of the forest household, you also know, you said that it has nothing to do with my family's eldest man, besides, who knows?"

As soon as she was halfway through her words, the head of the forest household directly interrupted her, "Okay, don't say anything else to me." Now the magistrate is there, just tell the magistrate what you want. I'm just a head of household, so I can't help you. He said, Zhao's mother suddenly stopped crying, she looked at the magistrate, and then looked at the head of the forest household, "This is the magistrate?" ”

Seeing that she was cold, Lin Huchang hurriedly pulled out his clothes. Pulling the woman up again, the two of them took a few steps back, as if they saw something dirty. "That's right, he's the magistrate, just tell him what you have." Mother Zhao shook her head, she still couldn't believe that it was really a magistrate she had never seen before.

The magistrate sneered at this time, he straightened his clothes, "It's really a shrew, and the official came here after listening to the words of the minister." You haven't done anything yet, and you're making a fuss. If the official beats him a few times, are you going to smash the house? Mother Zhao looked at the head of the household, and the chief of the forest took the woman back again.

Mother Zhao moved forward a few times, "Chief Lin Hu, aren't you in charge of this matter?" What's the matter with Guan Zhixian, you told Zhixian, haven't you already solved this matter? The head of the forest household didn't speak, she stood up directly and ran to the magistrate and knelt down, "Chief Lin household, my eldest man is still sick, but he can't bear the slightest grievance." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhao Dalang's body. I saw that Zhao Dalang was standing like a twenty-five or eighty-thousand, where was he sick as Zhao's mother said. The corners of Zhixian's mouth twitched a few times, and he ordered someone to press Zhao Dalang up. Mother Zhao hurriedly stood up and ran to Zhao Dalang's side, seeing that Mother Zhao couldn't protect herself, Zhao Dalang was suddenly afraid.

He struggled a few times, and still shouted loudly, "You let go of me, what do you want to do?" He said, but the men holding him down did not speak. Mother Zhao came to Zhao Dalang's side and broke the hand on Zhao Dalang's arm. But no matter how hard she tried, the man's hand just didn't move, and Zhao's mother had no choice, so she bit the man's hand.

The man frowned and pushed Zhao's mother aside. Zhao's mother was very fat, and being pushed by the man like this made her instantly feel that she was in pain all over her body. She looked at her son who was being pressed, and then at Zhao's father, who didn't care about anything, and for a while, all the grievances came up, and she directly sat in a different position.

While fiddling with his hands and waving them wildly in the air, he cried in a louder voice than just now, "Da Lang, why is your life so bitter." The woman hugged the girl into her arms a little more, buried her head in her arms, and didn't want the girl to see Zhao's mother now, she lowered her head and closed her eyes.

If it weren't for holding the girl, I'm afraid she would have covered her ears by now. Seeing the appearance of the mother and daughter, the magistrate took a deep breath and said, "Come on, gag her mouth to the official." After hearing this, a man came to Zhao's mother, he was holding a large piece of cloth in his hand, and was about to stuff it into Zhao's mother's mouth.

Mother Zhao turned her head and slapped the man's hand to the side. The man grabbed Zhao's mother's chin with his hand again and stuffed the cloth into Zhao's mother's mouth. Before she could resist, the man stood up and wiped his hand. Mother Zhao took out the cloth and looked at the magistrate. The magistrate didn't move, so she stood up and walked in front of the magistrate, who looked at her with a frown.

When she thought she was going to deal with her like she was going to deal with Household Chief Lin, she saw her say in a cold voice, "Household Chief Lin has solved it, what are you going to do today." The magistrate looked at her, and then looked at Zhao's father who was standing on the side. Father Zhao is still the same as he was just now, so to speak, he was standing in that position and never moved.

Zhixian was very curious about him, because his family was treated like this, he should be like Zhao's mother. But now, it looks like he's not the family, but like he's here to watch a play. Zhixian raised his chin at Zhao's father, Zhao's father looked at Zhixian, and Zhixian said, "If they don't say it, then you can tell me if there has been one." ”

Mother Zhao looked at Father Zhao, her eyes were very cold. This look, Zhao's father knew very well that it was a harbinger before Zhao's mother's move. He looked at the mother and daughter who were hugging each other on the side, then turned his head to the magistrate and said, "Yes, this is also a common occurrence. Zhao's mother was angry, walked quickly to Zhao's father, raised her hand and gave Zhao's father a heavy slap.

Zhao's father was beaten so that his face was pinned to the side, and Zhao's mother said, "You are really amazing, when Da Lang has beaten her, she went out to find trouble by herself." At this point, Father Zhao directly lowered his head and stopped talking. Zhao's mother was angry, and slapped Zhao's father again, and the magistrate couldn't stand it, so he pulled Zhao's mother aside and couldn't be disturbed.

Zhao's mother was pulled, but her feet still kicked Zhao's father's body. Zhixian knew that it was impossible for him to know anything from Zhao's father's mouth. But with Zhao's father's words, it is enough. He walked in front of Zhao Dalang, "How about it, do you say it or not." The magistrate asked, and before Zhao Dalang could speak, Zhao's mother was anxious.

She shouted, "My eldest man didn't beat anyone, not before and now." She shouted, and the magistrate looked to her side, and Zhao's mother was struggling in the direction of Zhao Dalang. The magistrate ignored her, glanced at the mother and daughter, and asked the mother and daughter to be brought over. The mother and daughter were brought to Zhao Dalang, and the woman did not dare to look at his face.

Looking at the ground all the time, the magistrate said, "You say now what happened." The woman pursed her lips and did not speak. The magistrate said, "You think about it, if you don't say it this time, no one will listen to you." As soon as Zhixian's words fell, Zhao's mother snorted, and the woman just wanted to tell all her previous things.

But she seemed to hear a small chatter suddenly, and she looked up at the door. It turned out that it was because Su Mu's shouting just now was too loud, and it called a lot of people around her. They all have a good relationship with Zhao's mother, and this woman knows it. Thinking back to the previous solution, she didn't hear about it, and she was a little worried about it.

The magistrate glanced in the direction she had just looked, then turned his head to the woman and said, "You don't have to worry about them, I'll listen to you." Mother Zhao sneered, "The magistrate is the magistrate, and I want to convict my eldest man with the words of one person." When the woman heard Mother Zhao say this, she knew that she was now ready to take the old path, so she shook her head.

Without speaking, the magistrate frowned, and sent someone to drive away all the people who were watching the play at the door. When those people left, they all said that it was the woman's fault. Someone said, "What's going on, what's wrong with that slut?" Another person said, "Who knows, no one married her back then, it was Zhao Dalang who married her." ”

One said, "Even nobody, no one is married." This Zhao Dalang married people back, and now you can see what he has done. I'm not afraid that people will see the joke, how long has Zhao Dalang's family been here, and their faces have been lost. One person said, "This is what kind of fairy I invited to come back, and it won't work here for a while, and it won't work there for a while." ”

One said, "When I married my family official, I didn't mess with him like this. One person said, "Zhao Dalang married her, and it is estimated that she has been moldy for eighty lifetimes." The words of the men were all together, but the woman heard them very clearly, and she heard many voices mocking her, although there were others.

But all she could seem to hear was the voices that mocked her, and she kept her head down, unable to even look up. In this process, Zhao Dalang's smiling face became deeper and deeper. The more Zhixian looked at his face, the more angry he became. He squatted down directly and stretched out his hand to the female doll, "Female doll, tell me, what is your name and how old are you." ”

The girl didn't speak, but looked up at the woman. The woman touched her head, and the girl said, "My name is Zhao Niang, but everyone calls me Brother Zhao." The magistrate sighed and asked again, "Then tell me, did your father beat your mother when he was at home?" The magistrate asked, Zhao Niang stopped talking, she pouted and looked at him with her eyebrows furrowed.

Zhixian took a deep breath, "Then did your father beat you?" Zhao Niang still didn't speak, and the magistrate asked again, "Then can you show me your arm?" Zhixian tried his best to make his voice very gentle, but Zhao Niang didn't seem to hear him, and Zhixian didn't know how to deal with this matter, he knew.

If you can't come up with evidence, with Zhao's mother's temper, she will definitely sue him. When the time comes, these people will be united, and he will not be able to explain to the one above him even if he has ten long mouths. At this time, Zhao Dalang said, "The head of the forest household has said that there is no such thing, if the magistrate does not believe it, he can ask the head of the forest household now." ”

The magistrate stood up and turned to look at Zhao Dalang, "Xianggong told the official that the official would not ignore this matter. Zhao Dalang sneered, "Why didn't I see the county management before, what is the reason for managing it now." You mean the person who was with Hayashi that night? Where he looks like a high-ranking official, I look like a person who has been fostered. ”

The magistrate is dumbfounded, Liu Yanqing is really like what he said to Zhao Dalang, but he is not. Seeing that Zhixian didn't speak, Zhao Dalang continued to speak, "Zhixian didn't speak, so he thought the same." Why did Nazhi County say that it was because of this matter that he came to investigate, besides, this matter has already been dealt with by the head of the forest household, right. ”

Zhixian said, "He came back from the capital, if I can't take care of it, I can tell Xianggong." When the time comes, let the housekeeper know about it, but it won't be like this. When the words fell, Zhao Dalang chuckled directly, as if he had heard some funny joke, "If the magistrate says so, then let him go to the housekeeper and ask." ”

The woman sniffed and looked at the magistrate, "It's me, it's me who said nonsense, I haven't been beaten." The magistrate glanced at her, pulled Zhao Niang's arm up, and showed the scar on the arm. That's what you're talking about? Knowing the county road, Zhao Niang hurriedly pulled her arm back, turned around and hugged the woman.

The woman protected Zhao Niang, Zhao Dalang didn't say anything, and Zhao's mother was the same. Zhixian sneered, "Come on, beat him with eighty sticks and long memory." After speaking, he walked towards the door, and Zhao's mother suddenly shouted, "No, she fell when she went out by herself, what does it have to do with my eldest man, you can't beat him." ”

The magistrate turned to look at them, "Fell?" Are you blind as an officer? Mother Zhao was suddenly speechless, but it didn't take long for her to start saying again, "If it's not a fall, what else can it be, you can't hit him." Zhixian sneered, "Xianggong is an important minister of the imperial court, Zhao Dalang is verbally insulting, don't you beat him, will you be beaten?" ”

Mother Zhao frowned, "What did you say?" That person turned out to be an important minister, how could this be, with his little white face, how could he be an important minister of the court. The magistrate was furious, "Shut up, the official has long said that the prime minister is from the capital, since you can't control your mouth, then the official will let you also be beaten with an eighty stick." ”

After saying that, he left directly, and then several people came in. Everyone had a very long and thick stick in their hands, and then two people walked into Zhao Dalang's house and took out the stool in Zhao Dalang's house. After that, four people pulled Zhao's mother and Zhao Dalang to the stool, and then pressed the people on the stool.

Zhao's mother was still struggling, "You can't beat me, you can't beat me." "Zhao Dalang is the same. But the man did not listen to these words in the slightest, and took up the stick and struck it. The first stick, both of them screamed. The woman hurriedly squatted down, picked up the girl and rushed into the house, closed the door, and blocked the door to listen.

Outside there was screaming and crying. After that, Zhao Mu's angry scolding, "Slut, I'll kill you!" The woman shook and squatted down, she covered Zhao Niang's ears, not wanting her to hear this voice. Zhao Niang said, "Don't be afraid, A-Niang, I'll protect you." With that, she also covered the woman's ears.

Zhixian walked out of the door and waited at the door for a while, and Liu Dalang also walked out. The magistrate stepped forward and said, "Well, this matter." Liu Dalang nodded, "I'll tell Ah Lang when I go back, don't worry." The magistrate nodded, and when the two were about to leave, they were stopped by the forest household chief who hurriedly followed.

The two turned to look at him, and the head of the forest household walked up to the magistrate, "That, I'm the head of the household." The magistrate sighed, "It's okay, from today onwards, I will send someone to live with you." Although the head of the forest household was very dissatisfied with the decision of the magistrate, he still saluted, and when he saw that the magistrate was fine, he turned around and followed Liu Dalang away.

The woman walked up to the head of the forest household and hugged his arm, "Official, what's wrong with you?" Lin Hu Chang sighed, "If I had known that the magistrate attached so much importance to Liu Xianggong, I shouldn't have let Zhao Dalang go at that time." The woman immediately thought that he was worried because the magistrate had just come and said something to him.

She let go of Household Chief's arm, came to Household Chief, and hugged Household Chief's neck with both hands. "Officials have to think about the good, if Liu Xianggong doesn't tell the magistrate, then Li Erniang, she has no place to reason now." When the head of the forest heard this, his mood, which was not particularly sad, changed suddenly, "I know." ”

He said, and the woman looked a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips and said, "Official, it's not that you can't do it. It's the matter of Zhao Dalang's family, you have been in charge of it several times. But it didn't work, he was still like that. Didn't the prime minister talk about this before, but the magistrate handed over the matter to the officials. ”

Hayashi let out a long sigh, "I don't know, it's just that those people don't want to take care of this matter." Besides, if such an incident happens now, I, the head of the household, may not have it in the future. The woman said, "The magistrate just brought someone over, didn't you also say it, Liu Xianggong is, I hope you will find more magistrates in the future." ”

The woman saw that the head of the forest was furrowed, so she put her hand on the center of the head of the forest and gently smoothed it while saying, "Okay, don't think too much about it, officials." Liu Xianggong is also kind-hearted, now that there are people from the county, then Zhao Dalang, he will, "

She suddenly stopped talking, and Lin Hu said, "You mean, I have someone from the county, and if I deal with Zhao Dalang's affairs in the future, he won't be so arrogant." The woman nodded. Lin Huchang's brows furrowed a little again, "But, you also saw what that person looked like to the magistrate just now, could he be?"

The woman covered the mouth of the head of the Lin household, not allowing him to continue, "Official, how can you think so. What clothes did the magistrate wear before, and what clothes do he wear now. Moreover, the magistrate never beat him. Now listen to how loud this voice is, if he sees the people of the county, he will dare to speak? ”

When the chief of the forest heard this, it was true. He hugged the woman into his arms, "It makes sense, thinking about it this way, Liu Xianggong is really good." The woman laughed and poked the arm of the head of the forest household with her hand, "Why is the official like this, one moment he says that Liu Xianggong is good, and the other time he says that Liu Xianggong is not good, if he hears it, he will have to let someone beat you." ”
