Chapter 198: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law's Enmity
Yang Wu never expected that Tang Lu would find out all the situation clearly.
"That, that, that, my lord, that Liang Ziyong won't lie and deceive people, right?" Yang Wuguo stammered and asked, he didn't want to miss such a good thing, and confirmed again to see if he was fooled.
"Let me tell you the truth, you are a scapegoat here, but he has made some small moves, his son is gone, his daughter has married someone else, of course, the promised dowry is gone, the bride price is gone, the money promised to you, he writes a fake contract, imitates your handwriting, signs and draws, and says that your daughter is a handmaid, and he paid for your daughter as a handmaid, and in fact you don't get a penny. You are still obsessed here, bent on giving him the blame, being punished for him, you become his scapegoat, you don't get any benefits, maybe in the end you will be sentenced to death, your little life will be gone, you will not get money, but you will have a bad reputation, think about it, is it worth it, is it worth it? Tang Lu said.
Yang Wuguo listened, there was nothing to say, and after a while, his head lowered, and he began to sob, and then he howled and cried, and he couldn't stop it.
Tang Lu didn't persuade, knowing that men wouldn't cry easily, but they didn't get to the sad place, and when the softest part of his heart touched the bottom line, he began to open like a floodgate, out of control, at this time, let him go to the mood of grief and indignation, and then understand the situation when he finished crying.
Sure enough, Yang Wuguo finished crying, snot and tears, wiped it with his sleeve, and said to the end: "My lord, don't hide it, my family is surrounded by walls, it is simply poor, there is no money at home, and the pocket is cleaner than the face, that day, Liang Ziyong's housekeeper found me, threatened and lured me, and promised to give me all kinds of sweetness and benefits, let me go to the guilt, he said, after the crime is successful, he will open up the relationship, dredge and dredge, give the government some benefits, spend money to redeem me, and then allow me to marry my family, and the man will intervene in the door, and the woman will give the dowry, Men don't want a bride price, women dowry things are very tempting, and the benefits to me are also amazing, for me, but I have never seen it, I may not be able to earn it in my lifetime, and good things actually come to me in one day, it is really unbelievable. I was moved and promised to help, so I signed a contract with Liang Ziyong, as for the content of the contract, I didn't read it carefully, because I didn't know how to read, and it was all read by Liang Ziyong's housekeeper. I just signed and drew a pledge, but I never expected that Liang Ziyong had sinister intentions and dug several deep pits for me to jump, damn it! It's not a pity to cut it with a thousand cuts. ”
After Yang Wuguo finished speaking, he wiped his tears and blew his nose.
He let out a long sigh and said, "I really didn't expect that the dog can't change eating, this guy is so bad that he can't change it for the better!" He must be punished severely, he is a murderous demon. It's just too bad to say that it should be brought to justice. ”
"Don't worry, Yang Wu, the official has already arranged it, you can go, go back to live and work well, and after a while, you can go to see the execution of Liang Ziyong. In addition, the official will give you a settling-in allowance, of course, this money is from Liang Ziyong, and you will come to the county office in two days to collect it. In the future, you don't just believe the words of the bad guys, the bad guys are not easy to get better, and if they become completely good, they need to be observed for a long time. You don't have illusions. You also have to continue to maintain your original temper and character, be kind to others, don't act for the tiger, don't help the abuse, stay away from bad people and bad things, don't be lucky, you are good, once you don't grasp it well, it is very likely to be used, once you are used, it is very difficult to turn back, you have been bewitched. So be careful, when you encounter danger, report to the official in time, don't delay, once delayed, you will leave regrets, which will be very dangerous. Clear? Tang Lu said.
"Clearly, thank you, my lord, it wasn't the adult who told the little one, the little one almost died, and he almost became a person who was scolded for eternity. Thank you for your care! The little ones must pay attention, and in the future, they will also tell their children and grandchildren not to take advantage, not to bear false witness, and not to succumb to the dark forces. Yang Wuguo said.
"Okay, there you go! I still have a lot of work to deal with. Tang Lu commanded.
Yang Wuguo left the county government and the family was reunited. A few days later, Liang Ziyong was captured, and the death sentence was announced, and it was a chopping sentence. In addition, Liang Ziyong's personal property was confiscated and confiscated, and Yang Wuguo was compensated for the loss of 200 taels of silver.
Yang Wu got the silver, bought the land, and lived happily.
Yang Wu worked hard, and after a few years, his daughter got married and his son got married.
The daughter married a Xiucai.
The son married a virtuous daughter-in-law.
Who knew that good things would happen in the past few years, and then bad things would happen.
When the farm was busy, Yang Wuguo worked in the field with his son, and if he couldn't get busy, he asked for help from a day laborer.
When the farm is slack, the father and son are not idle, and Yang Wuguo will do some business.
Fortunately, the daughter-in-law who married is virtuous, and there is a daughter-in-law at home to take care of her mother-in-law, and they are out doing business and running a long way, so they can rest assured that the father and son take care of each other, and only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are left at home, and they are safe. The days passed uneventfully, but they were still happy and content.
One day, the mother-in-law died suddenly, and the daughter-in-law told the local security, who suspected that the daughter-in-law had forced the mother-in-law to death, because the mother-in-law had hanged herself.
He intuitively found that his daughter-in-law was not a suspect, but the daughter-in-law admitted that she forced her mother-in-law to death.
Tang Lu saw that the daughter-in-law was elegant, spoke decently, and was very polite, whether this was a superficial phenomenon or not, it still needs to be further understood. She is knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and reasonable, how could she force her mother-in-law to death? But, then again, if people can disguise, maybe she disguises a lot like that? Maybe that's not a deal.
He was full of doubts, so he asked his daughter-in-law: "I don't look like you are the one who forced your mother-in-law to death, the earth security said that you forced your mother-in-law to death, do you admit such an accusation?" ”
"You can't blame Dibao, my lord, my mother-in-law's is indeed forced to death by the little girl. She is a disgusting mother-in-law, since ancient times, the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is difficult to reconcile, and she is the first tricky mother-in-law in the world. She wanted to eat sweet, the little girl made her sweet, she knocked over the bowl, said it was hot, after a while, she said it was too light, the little girl added some salt, she said it was too salty, one said it was cold, the other said the rice was too hard, wanted to torture the old lady to death, said that she wanted to sleep, said she wanted to go out for a walk, and she was about to suffocate at home. In short, she is a mother-in-law, and the daughter-in-law can only accept it, but it always goes on like this, and the daughter-in-law may go before the mother-in-law, and the little girl complains, and she gets angry, and begins to say that the little girl is not filial and is a bad daughter-in-law. The little girl had no choice, she had to fight on the basis of reason, she still didn't give up, didn't let the little girl go, and said that she would definitely ruin the little girl's reputation and never want to marry for the rest of her life. The daughter-in-law said.
Tang Lu nodded and said, "You have been wronged." But the official always feels that something is wrong, and you don't look like that kind of evil woman. but a virtuous and filial daughter-in-law. Intuitively, this official thinks so. ”
"The adults are wrong, the little girl is a slut, a slut, and now she is forcing her mother-in-law to death, she has committed the great crime of unfilial piety, and the crime deserves death, what face does she have to live in the world, she just wants to die quickly, and severely punish the little girl according to the law, so that the mother-in-law's spirit in heaven can rest in peace."
"This matter can not be in a hurry, allow the official to investigate clearly, lest he kill by mistake, if he kills by mistake, the official's black gauze hat will also fall, and even the head is not protected, if you are wronged, while you can still avenge your grievances, the official will definitely show you the snow for you, and return your innocence to the world, lest you bear the infamy, leave this world with grievances and resentment, this is an opportunity to correct mistakes, the opportunity must not be lost, if you miss it, it is a lifetime, it is a fresh life, you must not be careless. This official has always done things above board, never letting go of a bad person, nor wronging a good person. Tang Lu said.
"Your Excellency, you should be confused for once! This time it won't ruin your reputation, the little girl is indeed heinous, disrespectful to her mother-in-law, not filial, damn it! Please quickly sentence the execution of the little girl. ”
"This is strange, people don't want to die, but you do the opposite, is it because you are pessimistic and misanthropic and don't want to live?"
"Yes, no matter what, please judge the little girl to death quickly!" The daughter-in-law said.
Tang Lu fell into deep thought, so he asked his daughter-in-law to be escorted to the cell first, and then make arrangements when the case was clear.
He was pondering what to do, when a servant asked to see him.
Tang Lu allowed, the official came in, Tang Lu saw the official hand blocking his face, Tang Lu felt strange, he wanted to check, the official dodged, Tang Lu asked, "What's going on?" How could anyone have seen the official cover his face with his hand? Say, what's going on? What did you do that was unseemly? Don't have a face to see people? ”
When the official asked, he immediately began to cry.
Seeing that the official was crying, Tang Lu immediately became angry and said: "What kind of thing is useless, the old man is crying and crying, what kind of system is it?" ”
"Adults, small incompetence."
"How incompetent? How can you be incompetent in the county office? It's better to go home and hug the doll and coax the daughter-in-law. ”
"My lord, don't mention it, don't talk about going home, go home, the little one will die quickly!" The official said.
"That's weird. You are a public person, a member of the imperial court, a member of the yamen, and when you return home, don't your family respect you? How is it possible to die quickly? Who will make you die fast? ”
"My lord, you don't know, other people are treated when they go home, that is, the little one will be destroyed when they go home, you see, the wound on the face is caught by the little one's wife, she specially scratches the face, so that the little one has no face to see people! Woooooooo The official said, and then couldn't help crying again.
"How can this be true? I often hear that men beat women, but I haven't heard of women beating men, so it's worth it! It's still a tolerance! What's going on? Don't you have any status in the family? ”
"Don't say it, adult, it's because the little one listens to the mother's words, the wife is angry, thinking that the little one only cares about the mother, doesn't care about her, since she doesn't care, why don't you take her, the little one says it's not wrong, how to leave, the wife doesn't forgive, it turns out that she said a lie, it's the opposite, and thinks that the little one really wants to divorce her, she is anxious, and she starts to beat the small, the small one remembers, the adult says that the hand of tolerance is to punish the bad guys, not to beat women, let alone to deal with the family, because the wife is weaker and can't be compared with men, The little one held back, but she didn't expect his wife to become more and more unrelenting, thinking that the little one didn't dare to beat her because the little one did something wrong, so she began to beat the little one suspiciously, and the little one didn't fight back, and it turned out to be like this. The wife always thinks that the small one is on an errand outside, and can contact a lot of women, so she feels that the small one has a good appearance outside, in order not to let the small one succeed, she scratches the small one's face, and wants to break the face, and no woman likes the small one, in fact, if there is really a woman who likes the small one, she won't care if the face is broken or not, right? Besides, the little one has nothing to do at all, so he is not afraid, and he does not go in that direction, his wife's idea is wrong, but she never admits her mistake. I always feel that the small ones are not good, so I abuse and beat the small ones. The official said.
"So, is she beating you up regularly?"
"Lord Qiyu, yes, she is often beaten, either scolding or beating, she used to hit the small one, but she didn't slap her face, but now it has escalated. If you don't slap your face, the adults and the team workers can't see it, the little one endured it, and now it's starting to slap your face, and the little one probably can't hide it, so I came to tell the adults and asked the adults for help to solve this problem. The official said.
"I see! You still hide it for so long, you can't see the internal injuries, and you can't hide the external injuries before you come to say, what if you are sent to arrest the bad guys in the future, what if you can't run? Why didn't you tell the official earlier that there was a in your family? If you die at home, the official still can't solve the case, what is the reason for you to hide it like this? Tang Lu asked.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but the little one doesn't want to cause trouble to the adult."
"It's not a troublesome thing, in case because you were beaten by your wife and injured internally, the official sent you to arrest the bad guy, and the bad guy saw that you were injured and resisted arrest, and injured and killed you, wouldn't the official have no light on his face? This is not your personal problem, but an issue related to the face of the official. Why don't you understand this? Tang Lu said.
"I'm really sorry adults, I didn't expect the small ones to be so comprehensive, and I didn't know that the problem was so serious. I just knew that I didn't want to cause trouble to the adults, but I didn't expect that when it affected the arrest of criminals in the performance of official duties, if it affected the work due to internal injuries, the loss would be great, and it would affect the image of the entire yamen and even the imperial court. This really shouldn't have happened! The official said.
"However, it's not too late, you have been beaten, and this official has your back. As long as you don't feel distressed, the official has his own way. Tang Lu said.
"My lord, what can you do?"
"It's just to educate your wife, you just don't have to hurt."
"Playing the board?"
"Okay? How's your wife's health? ”
"Lord Qiyu, the younger wife is in good health, the tiger's back is bear's waist, very strong, and very strong, much stronger than the small one." The official said.
"No wonder you were beaten by your wife, it turns out that you can't beat her!"
"Adult, the little one has never beaten his wife, and I don't know who is more powerful." The official said.
