136:Self-inflicted iniquity cannot live (2nd watch)
Seeing that the patriarch of the Xu family was willing to take the money, Xu Dalang's uncle secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was vicious, "My sister can't be abused in vain, don't think about ending this matter without five taels of silver."
"Five taels of silver? Why don't you grab it?" The patriarch of the Xu family widened his eyes and said, this Zhu family is really a lion's mouth, don't you look at the Zhu family's old woman is worth five taels of silver?
"Yes, there are no five taels of silver to discuss." Xu Dalang's uncle replied very stiffly.
He gambled that the old man of the Xu family would not give up his reputation in the clan, and he would not give up Xu Dalang's real estate.
Although Xu Dalang almost lost the family property, the title deed and deed of this house, his sister caught it to death when she was alive, so Xu Dalang did not sell the house for money to gamble.
Xu Dalang is destined to have no queen, and he doesn't know if he will follow in the footsteps of the Zhu family one day and die, just with a Chang family, how can he keep this property? At that time, this is not a thing in the Xu family?
Therefore, the old man of the Xu family will not drive Xu Dalang out of the clan, so he can only take money.
After calculating the mentality of the head of the Xu family, Xu Dalang's uncle sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and was not afraid that the other party would not take the bait.
Chang Xi was silent, pretending to be sad on the side, looking like she had no opinion on how the patriarch of the Xu family decided.
She hoped that Xu Dalang's uncle could really sue him for unfilial piety, according to "Daewoo Law", Xu Dalang committed the crime of beating his relatives, which can be punished with capital punishment, but unfortunately, this uncle only wants money, and it is useless to add fuel to the fire.
In the end, the head of the Xu family was no match for Xu Dalang's uncle, and took five taels of silver to end the matter.
Xu Dalang's uncle let go of Xu Dalang at this time, bit the silver, and after confirming that it was true, he put it in his arms, and then shouted at his mother-in-law, "Why don't you go to put a birthday dress on my sister?"
Seeing that her husband successfully got the money, this trip was finally in vain, and Xu Dalang's aunt didn't care about the funeral, and happily went in to put on a shroud for the Zhu family to prepare for burial.
Xu Dalang drooped his head and shrank in the corner, neither daring to approach the third uncle nor his uncle, he could see that neither of them was good at stubble, and it would be dangerous to get close to either one.
Seeing this, Chang Xi scolded contemptuously while people were not paying attention, "You deserve it."
The weather is hot, and the Zhu family will only stop the coffin for one night, and will be officially buried tomorrow.
Chang Xi has to wear linen and filial piety as a daughter-in-law, although she responds, she still has to do a full set of acts, but she is still in a weak state, and the third uncle of the Xu family did not let her kneel to keep a guard for her mother-in-law, but let her continue to sit.
And Xu Dalang, his own son, was escorted and knelt on the temporarily arranged mourning hall.
After kneeling for a long time, Xu Dalang looked like he was crying bitterly, but the people who stayed behind to watch him from the Xu family saw that he wanted to get up secretly, so he hit him on the leg with a stick, which hurt him so much that he bared his teeth and cracked his mouth, so he didn't dare to make any more small moves. Z.br>
The people who watched the excitement had already dispersed, and Ou wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but she didn't want to stay here all night, after all, the mourning hall was gloomy, and she was furious in her heart.
But Chang Xi went to grab her, and said with a weak look, "Sister-in-law, can you stay with me?"
How did she refuse?
She also wanted to go to Xie Mansion to find Chang Xi to fight the autumn wind in the future, so the words of refusal came to her lips and swallowed back, she could only stay here to accompany Chang Xi.
She was worried all night, while Xu Dalang was kneeling and dozing off, and the others also looked like they were going to wake up, she stepped forward to burn paper money for Zhu's family, and clasped her hands together and read silently, "If you are wronged, find the person who killed you to take revenge, but don't come to me, I didn't kill you, it has nothing to do with me, I'll burn more paper money for you, and you won't be short of money ......to spend when you get there."
I was afraid of something, a wind blew from the mourning hall, and then the ghost of the Zhu family seemed to float out from the curtain, "Ou clan, give me my life-"
The unjust soul asked for his life, Ou Shi was so frightened that his feet were weak, and he was even more afraid to pee his pants, so he waved his hand and said, "It's not me, it's not me, don't ask me for your life, it's ...... to ask for your life."
"Ou, it's not you who spread rumors, how did the thieves kill me? It's you, the thief, who have a part in killing me, and also
Fate—"
Ou Shi saw that Zhu's ghost was about to float towards her, she didn't dare to stand in place, she hurriedly retreated, she didn't know what she tripped and fell to the ground, but she didn't have the heart to look at this obstacle, so she could only retreat step by step, "Don't come here, Zhu, don't come here, I really didn't kill you, I just took the silver you hid, and I didn't kill your life—ah——"
Feeling that Zhu's ghost was rushing towards her, she hurriedly reached out to block it, and shook everything out in fright, at this time she had shrunk into a ball and trembled, and shouted Zhu Shi's words like sparing his life.
The people who stayed in the mourning hall had already woken up, and they didn't expect Zhu's death and the handwriting of this Ou clan, and they were stunned.
Xu Dalang didn't know if it was his conscience or he felt afraid that others would say that his son was inactive, he hurriedly got up and didn't care about the soreness in his knees, and rushed up with a strong stride, grabbed Ou's collar and lifted her up, and said viciously, "You stole my family's money? Yes and no?"
Ou just said vigorously, "Yes, I took it, but I didn't kill the person, I didn't kill it......
When Xu Dalang thought that two hundred taels of silver were missing, he was so distressed that he was dripping blood, and he dragged Ou Shi to report to the official.
"Yes, report to the officer, and recover the money."
Xu Dalang's uncles and aunts all agreed with this, and they thought that they would recover the two hundred taels of silver, and they could get one hundred taels if they said the least.
One hundred taels, what a lot of money this is, not to mention worry-free in this life, and worry-free in the next life, as soon as the couple looked at each other, they knew what the other party was thinking, and their hearts were already happy at this time.
Chang Xi looked at Ou Shi with a sad look, shook his head and sighed, and only said, "You can't live if you do your own evil."
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mama Luo quietly come in and nodded at her, she closed her eyes slightly, looking like she didn't look at it.
A group of people finally waited until dawn, and then pulled Ou Shi to report to the official.
Zhao Da saw that his mother-in-law did not come back last night, he was worried for a long time, and early in the morning he saw Ou Dalang being pulled out by Xu Dalang and his tall uncle, he screamed in his heart that it was not good, and he was about to turn around and go back to the house, but Xu Dalang saw it at a glance, and immediately said to his uncle, "Uncle, this person is Ou's husband Zhao Da, don't let him run away."
When Xu Dalang's uncle heard this, he immediately let go of the Ou clan and rushed up to grab Zhao Da, who wanted to escape, "Where are you going? If you hurt my sister, you will pay for your life."
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I hurt your sister?" Zhao Da said sharply.
"Your mother-in-law has admitted it, and you still want to deny it?"
"What did she confess, you arrested her, what's the matter with me?"
Zhao Da didn't admit it.
Xu Dalang's uncle said that he would arrest him and go to the official.
"Go, go, who's afraid of whom? Lao Tzu's body is not afraid of shadows." Zhao said stiffly.
At this time, the neighbors who got up early saw this scene, but they didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful scene in the mourning hall last night, and they all sighed that it was a pity to miss it, and then they spurned the Ou family to do such a thing and indirectly killed the Zhu family.
Thinking of being able to recover two hundred taels of silver, Xu Dalang's uncle and nephew all escorted Zhao Da and Ou to see the official as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, followed by a group of good deeds.
Chang Xi didn't follow the past to see the excitement, but still sat on the mourning hall, anyway, everything was under control, she didn't need to look to know what the result was.
Sure enough, in court, Ou was a little mentally deranged, and admitted that she stole money in nonsense, but did not admit to killing, and Zhao Datui said that he didn't know about it, and threw all the crimes to Ou and let Ou bear it alone.
Later, the Ya sent Zhao to search, but they couldn't find the two hundred taels of silver, but Zhao Da insisted that he didn't know, and he had never seen the money.
"This is Ou's alone, only she knows where the money is hidden, my lord, the grass people really don't know." He even shouted injustice in court, "Besides, this mother-in-law has committed seven crimes, and the grass people want to divorce their wives."
Hearing this, Ou Shi was awake for a moment, and her eyes rolled, but when she saw the look that Zhao Da gave her, she instantly fell silent again, and then her eyes
The son became muddy again, and the whole person was not awake.
In the end, she was convicted of theft and was sentenced to a heavy penalty because of the large amount, but Zhao Da escaped punishment and was released and returned home.
Xu Dalang's uncle and nephew couldn't help but be quite disappointed, after all, the two hundred taels of silver really couldn't be recovered, and looking at Ou's appearance, they couldn't ask anything, so they could only pester Zhao Da to ask for silver.
Zhao Da was annoyed, and said that he didn't know where Ou was hiding, and also opened the door of the house, "You come in and search, and if you find it, it will be yours, I really don't know that woman's behavior is like this......
"Okay, you shirked it without knowing a word? Zhao Da, return the silver." Xu Dalang only has money in his eyes now, and he no longer remembers the days when he and Zhao Da used to be brothers.
Zhao Da directly sat at the door of the house scoundrelly, "You search, search and return to you."
Even if he is pointed at by the people around him, he is not afraid, and he can't retreat at this time.
Xu Dalang's uncle and nephew had no choice but to scold and go back to the Zhu family's funeral first.
Along the way, the uncle and nephew have discussed, they must keep an eye on this Zhao Da, there is no reason why he will not know if the Ou family steals money? The official was confused and was relied on by him.
Chang Xi saw that the uncle and nephew looked affectionate again, and couldn't help but sigh that this money was really attractive.
The third uncle, the patriarch of the Xu family, also knew about Ou's stealing of silver, so he asked Xu Dalang many details, and Xu Dalang answered in detail one by one, this time he was good at learning, and he wanted to use these three uncles to balance his ruthless and righteous uncle.
The third uncle thought of two hundred taels of silver, and his heart was also hot, so he said in a deep voice, "This money must be recovered."
Xu Dalang also gritted his teeth like this and gave a positive answer.
