"Really?" Tang Lu asked.

"Really! Good men don't fight women. A wife is for love, not for beating. The official said.

"So you're a cheap bone! I was beaten, and I spoke for your wife, and one day, when you died, no one knew, and no one remembered. will laugh at you, you see, is your life worth it? ”

"Adult, the little one is willing to give her a chance to repent."

"You are very loving and give her a chance to repent, but human nature is not easy to change. She will take your kindness as a sign of your cowardice, and she will definitely make you worse than dead. If you don't believe it, just wait and see, but if you are killed and injured by your wife, which affects your work, you will be dismissed, and someone will be hired to take your place, you go to find another job, don't affect the official affairs of the yamen, if you are beaten and disabled, the official will not sympathize with you, because I have already told you the consequences, generally domestic violence is the man is violent, your family is the opposite, this is no one to blame, if you want to blame yourself. Tang Lu said.

"Adult, it makes sense, what about the small one?"

"It's very simple, you have to teach her a hard lesson and let her know how good you are."

"My lord, how can I teach her a lesson?"

"When I go back, I hit her, I hit her in the face, just don't leave a wound and make her feel pain, but it won't let people see that she was beaten. Or punish kneeling, or spanking, you have a way, often deal with criminal suspects, you can't help it? ”

"This, this, the little ones can't do it! It really can't be done! ”

"It's really unproductive! If you can't do it, then the official will do it for you. However, the official wants to arrest her and let her be tortured in court, are you willing? ”

"This, this ......"

"If you have concerns, then be it! How about letting another official fight you, and you avoid it?"

"Yes, the adults are very thoughtful, and the small ones are avoided. However, when the adults ordered someone to beat her, they should not be too heavy, otherwise, it would be a small matter, and the little one would have to serve this grandmother. The official said.

"Okay, don't worry, this official has his own measure." Tang Lu said.

When the official retired, Tang Lu sent a sign to arrest people, and soon, he arrested the wife of the official and whipped twenty times in the court.

The official eavesdropped outside, feeling distressed and nervous for a while, worried that he would be implicated, so he walked away immediately, and when the beating was over, there were blood marks on his back, and blood seeped out, which looked very painful.

The unruly daughter-in-law was thrown into prison and locked up with the virtuous daughter-in-law.

Tang Lu went to visit and knew that the virtuous daughter-in-law was Yang Wu's daughter-in-law, and when he inquired, he knew that Yang Wuguo had married a good daughter-in-law, a good person has a good reward, and if he gets a good daughter-in-law, his life will get better and better.

"Yang's mother-in-law forced to death? I don't believe it. has always been virtuous, never had a quarrel with his mother-in-law, never blushed, and is obedient, which is obvious to all. Everyone thinks so, praises each other, and thinks they have to learn from Yang. The old man of the villager said.

"I prove that the Yang family is what I will marry in the future."

"What? You're going to marry her? Tang Lu asked.

"No, I mean, if you are looking for a woman to marry, you will find someone like her, who is really a good woman, a virtuous daughter-in-law, and it is difficult to find a lantern."

"Understood, you mean, do you think it is impossible for the Yang family to force her mother-in-law to death?"

"I never believe it, only the mother-in-law forces the daughter-in-law, how can the daughter-in-law force the mother-in-law, we often see the Yang family being scolded by the daughter-in-law, and we have never seen the Yang family say a dirty word. Yang Wu has such a good daughter-in-law, so that he can make money with peace of mind. ”

"So, the Yang family is usually obedient to his mother-in-law, and it is never possible to force his mother-in-law to die?"

"Yes, we all think so, if she forced her mother-in-law to death, the mother-in-law in our village would have died a long time ago. Ha ha! ”

Tang Lu nodded, thanked them, and left them. After investigation, I learned that this situation does not exist, that is, Yang's mother-in-law forced her to death does not exist, then, Yang does not change her words, and insists that she forced her mother-in-law to death, there must be a reason, and the truth must be figured out.

After thinking about it, Tang Lu decided to use the wife of the servant as a tool to understand the truth. Tang Lu threw the unruly wife of the official into prison and imprisoned her with the Yang family.

As soon as the brutal daughter-in-law arrived at the cell, she began to cry out in pain, and Yang also felt scary when she saw it, it turned out that this place was really not a place for people to stay, and she should leave, but she had already taken care of her mother-in-law's death by herself, so if you want to change your words, I'm afraid it's not easy.

Yang comforted the rude daughter-in-law and took care of her, and the rude daughter-in-law scolded: "The old lady has poured blood mold for eight lifetimes!" ”

"What's wrong?" Yang asked.

"I was beaten by that neurotic Tang Lu."

"Why did you hit you?"

"The old lady wants to know too."

"How is this happening?"

"Yes! This is a fucking foolish official, maybe I look at the old lady's appearance, maybe I have fallen in love with the old lady, since I have fallen in love with it, I should cherish the fragrance and pity the jade, how can I be willing to fight? This guy! I'm so angry with my mother! ”

"With what?"

"Whipped with a whip."

"How many hits?"

"How much? The old lady was in a lot of pain, and she didn't count, but she only listened to the whipping officer shouting, and in the end it seemed to be twenty, so she didn't fight. The brutal daughter-in-law said.

"That's a bit ruthless."

"It's a little ruthless! It's just ruthless! I can't swallow this breath, I must be with Tang Lu. Don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, this Tang Lu is not a person, he dares to act so nonsense! Outrageous! ”

"Why don't you look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha?"

"Oh, my husband works as an errand in the county government and is a government official, doesn't Tang Lu know this? I think it's a deliberate pretense of confusion. The brutal daughter-in-law said.

"Then did you see your husband in the church?"

"Strange, not there! This dead man, at the critical moment, where did he go to spread joy? ”

"Maybe it's official business, right?"

"Anyway, no, the old lady doesn't care about any official affairs, at that time, he should appear. With him, even if he is beaten, he is willing. The brutal daughter-in-law said.

"Then you have a good rest, it seems that we are sick and sympathetic!"

"The old lady sees that Tang Lu is a confused official, and if you want to beat the old lady, you have no opinion, after all, the old lady often beats the old lady's man, you should beat it! However, you are different, the old lady doesn't look like a bad person, why was you also arrested in a prison cell? ”

"You don't know. I'm dying anyway, so it's okay to talk about it. My husband followed my father-in-law Yang Wuguo to go out to do business, my mother-in-law was at home, and I took care of it. She doesn't do things every day, I am busy outside, just because my father-in-law and husband go out, so that they can rest assured to make money to support the family, I can bear all the hardships, I can bear all the sins, live cautiously every day, work at sunrise, rest at sunset, and never delay. My mother-in-law smears grease and powders every day, and often goes out, anyway, my mother-in-law doesn't have to do anything, and I do all the dirty work. One morning, I cleaned the house, and then when I was ready to make breakfast, I walked to the bed to ask my mother-in-law to say goodbye, this is what I have to do every day, I didn't think much about it, I went to ask for peace, and then cooked a meal, and invited my mother-in-law to eat, that day when I asked for peace, I saw my mother-in-law's bed, there was a pair of men's shoes, I was stunned, did not dare to make a noise, quietly withdrew, my heart has understood, because my mother-in-law dressed up in flowers, plus the charm still exists, someone will definitely take a fancy to it, and began to contact, outside, I can't see itNow that they're all at home, I feel like it's a bit too much. My father-in-law worked hard to make money to support the family, but my mother-in-law caught fire in the backyard and cuckolded my father-in-law, which was unbearable, if my father-in-law knew, wouldn't he be angry, this time when I came to the house, I bumped into it, and when I was outside, maybe I would be bumped into it, I knew that the matter was very serious, but I kept my mouth shut and never revealed this matter to anyone. My mother-in-law knew that I knew about her stealing, and she was ashamed, so she committed suicide by hanging a three-foot hemp rope. I saw my mother-in-law commit suicide, if to tell the truth, my mother-in-law's name is all over, people are dead, and she is infamy, she is an unchaste woman, then her reputation is very strong, and she doesn't know if her mother-in-law is dead, and the living people are uncomfortable, and it is really uncomfortable to carry such a signboard on her back, so I bear all the guilt and propose that I forced my mother-in-law to death, so that it will be good for everyone, even if I am sentenced to death, it will not affect my reputation. I took this secret to the grave and got the infamy myself, as long as I didn't let my mother-in-law get the infamy. Out of this consideration, I admit it, in fact, I forced my mother-in-law to death does not exist, that is what the local security said in order to complete the task and shirk responsibility, in fact, this is not the case. Yang said.

"Oh, I see! The old lady is not mistaken, you are wronged, in fact, this is no wonder, it is your fault, the old witch is innocent, she is so old, she is still pretending to be tender, and she is seducent to seduce the old man, what a shame! If I had duntardled into the well and died, I would have died. And the face lives in the world? Enjoy happiness every day, you don't know how to be blessed in the blessing, but do things, this makes people very uncomfortable, you have married Yang Wu, you have to live well, every day I think about men and want to go crazy, your husband is not not coming back, not abandoning you, you are not self-esteem and self-respect, you want to take the evil road, you want to hang yourself, no one can stop you, there are many ways to commit suicide, this is worth studying. Your mother-in-law is really ruthless, she succeeded in the first attempt. The brutal daughter-in-law said.

"No one expected this! I would have pleaded guilty, Tang Lu didn't believe it, I wanted to dig into the problem, I will tell you the truth, I believe you, you won't tell anyone, including Tang Lu, and then I will take this secret to the underworld, if you have the opportunity to meet my husband, you will tell him the truth, prove it, say that his wife did not force her mother-in-law to die, in order to protect her mother-in-law's reputation, and deliberately took care of it, pleaded guilty, and then convicted and sentenced to death, you have to say this to Yang Wuguo, now that no one is there, it's okay to talk about it, let him make preparations, If you marry a wife in the future, you must keep your eyes open, don't marry the wrong wife, marry the wrong wife, there will be a lot of trouble, marry the right wife, and be idle every day. Remember, don't forget that you can talk about the reality when you're released. Yang said.

After Yang finished speaking, a group of people broke in from outside, and the brutal daughter-in-law was so frightened that she immediately knelt down with weak legs, and she was completely scared.

Lifting Yang to the lobby, it was Tang Lu who was sitting in the hall.

Tang Lu said: "Yang, what you just said, the official knows it, it is all recorded, you see, if there is no problem, sign and draw, if there are no other problems, announce the withdrawal from the court, you go back!" Bury your mother-in-law well, then clean the house and outside, continue to take care of the housework, and wait for your father-in-law and husband to come back, and the official will administer justice for you. After you go down, the official will issue you a certificate to prove that you are innocent, and in addition, give you another fifty taels of silver to make your life better, I know, your father-in-law and your husband will need a while to come back, and there will definitely be no money on hand to bury your mother-in-law, so you will use the money to do things, and after you are done, there is still a balance, you can keep the flowers for yourself, do you understand? As for your mother-in-law's affair, the official will not mention it, so let it be blocked in the file. You can rest assured. ”

"Thank you, sir! There is still one person in prison, I wonder if he can be released? She has been whipped, her back is bloody and fleshy, and she urgently needs to be taken care of after being released from prison. Yang said.

"You mean a rude daughter-in-law? The wife of the servant? ”

"Yes, in a cell with the little girl." Yang said.

"Okay, the official will listen to you, come and bring the woman up." Tang Lu said.

As soon as the brutal daughter-in-law arrived at the court, her body began to tremble.

"Are you guilty?"

"The little girl is guilty."

"What crime?"

"Insult the imperial court!"

"This official doesn't care, it's normal for an official to be scolded by the masses, if they all say it's good, the official should be careful, there is absolutely no such thing in the world. You know how well you do it, and you don't need to be judged by others. It is inevitable to make mistakes in governance, and if you do, it is not bad to correct them in time. If you scold the official, as long as the scolding is reasonable, the official will listen to it and find a way to correct it, if it is not reasonable, the official will also listen, look at the officials who do well and those who do not do well, the key is to have freedom of speech, don't worry. You scold because you want the official to do better, and it also shows that the official needs to be improved in some places, as long as the criticism is good and there are reasonable suggestions, it should be improved, which is good, otherwise, you can not listen, it is pure nonsense. You criticized the official because the official learned from the civil investigation that you are tough and rude, and you do not want to be a good wife and mother, but an old lady, you are so vulgar and rude, no one can stand it, maybe your husband has the right to defend himself. However, your husband is conscientious and has made great contributions to the county government. Tang Lu said.

When the barbaric girl heard this, her heart trembled, what's wrong? This tone seems to say that her husband is no longer alive, so it's no wonder that she wasn't there when she was beaten.

Thinking of this, the rude daughter-in-law began to cry bitterly, howling and crying, and her voice vibrated the world and was moving.

Tang Lu made her cry, cry enough!

After the barbarian woman finished crying, she said, "My lord, where is my husband's body?" The folk girl went and pulled it back for burial. ”

"What a mess! The official didn't say that your husband is gone. What do you think? Tang Lu asked.
