The armadillo nodded in agreement, "Isn't that right?" What is the difference between wanting to rob someone else's house without giving out a penny, and robbers? ”

Mo Bai stood aside and didn't speak, but the armadillo finished talking for him. He didn't want to make trouble with the government, after all, what could be solved with a sword, he didn't want to solve it.

"Song, what did she say? Trespassing is a felony. ”

Hearing the word "sin", Song Niang panicked instantly, and she wailed.

"Lord Guanmingjian, where do women dare to forcibly occupy other people's houses, you see that this title deed is indeed written in my daughter's name, I raised her with hard work for 16 years, and now she is having an affair with this brother, both of them have lived under the same roof for so long, who ......knows?"

She touched her tears hypocritically, and stopped talking.

In an instant, everyone understood, and there was a hint of disdain in their eyes when they looked at Zhao Yuanling.

The county magistrate also nodded meaningfully, "What else does Miss Zhao have to say?" ”

Zhao Yuanling's eyes cooled, and he quickly rolled up his sleeves, and his snow-white skin suddenly stimulated everyone's eyes, and then it was covered in an instant.

"Did you see the Shougong sand just now? I am innocent, and heaven and earth can learn from me. ”

The county magistrate coughed lightly and glanced at Song Niang dissatisfied.

Song Niang didn't expect this girl to have this trick, but she still said stiffly: "Although she is innocent, an unmarried woman lives under the same roof with a man, how can she marry when she says this?" Who would dare to marry her? I'm afraid this title deed is blocking her mouth, this stupid child was sold and counted the money for others, and now the house is sold and the money does not belong to her, isn't this empty, please give the adults the decision for the daughter of the people......"

The county magistrate nodded, feeling that what Song Niang said made sense, "You are still young and have not been involved in the world, so it is understandable." He turned around and Zhao Yuanling asked, "When this house was bought, did it have some talents?" Voluntary giving? ”

Zhao Yuanling shook her head, a simple matter, it had to be so complicated, she didn't understand.

"Regardless of who pays for this house for the time being, since this title deed is in my name, I have the right to deal with the whereabouts of this house, and it is also my freedom to spend the money from the sale, right?"

"How is there nothing wrong? You are young and don't know that money is not easy, this house can be sold for 1,500 taels, and you will sell it for 1,000 taels, isn't this a joke? ”

After that, Song Niang wiped her tears and said pretendly: "I am your mother, and the daughter who has worked so hard to raise her elbow is turned out like this, which really makes me feel cold." And he began to wail as he spoke.

"Now I can't even make a land deed, the old mother can't be the master, this is really a big woman, the county magistrate, you have to be the master of the people's women."

At this time, Mo Bai on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said loudly: "What are you doing for you without spending a penny?" The name of the title deed is not yours, and the money is not spent by you, so what does it mean that you don't let go of the title deed now? I also asked the prefectural magistrate to give me an explanation. ”

"Okay, okay, let's leave the court first, and then try it tomorrow."

"Just such an obvious thing, can't you get a verdict on the same day?" Zhao Yuanling frowned and muttered dissatisfiedly.

The people in the hall had gradually dispersed, and a servant said kindly: "The second trial will be held in three days, so let's go home and wait first." ”

Zhao Yuanling reported to the official for the first time, and thought that these small things could be solved immediately, but he didn't expect that he would have to wait.

Out of the yamen, a woman was ushered in.

She looked at Zhao Yuanling and asked anxiously, "What's going on?" ”

Zhao Yuanling remembered her, she was the young woman who helped sell the house.

Instead of answering, she asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Speaking of this, the woman's face was happy, "Someone came to see the house just now, I took him around the door, and found that you were not at home, so I took the key you gave last time to open the door and go in. ”

Twenty silver, it was so quickly in hand, and she didn't want to work hard for days.

Zhao Yuanling sighed, "I'm afraid this matter is a little tricky now, and I have to wait a little longer." ”

She told her about the title deed, and the young woman also gritted her teeth: "I didn't expect such a shameless mother to harm her children so much!" ”

After scolding, she looked embarrassed again: "Then ...... this errand cost"

If she didn't sell it, wouldn't she be able to get the money?

Zhao Yuanling saw her concerns and gave her the money first.

"Thank you for your hard work, you help me stabilize people, and then bring people over when things are dealt with, this money is a little bit of my heart."

The woman was overjoyed when she got the silver, and she gritted her teeth, "Okay, I'll stabilize the person first." ”

The three of them went out of the yamen, and the armadillo sneered and said: "It's really shameless, I've seen a robbery, but I've never seen such a fair robbery, why didn't she go to the silver building to touch the porcelain, saying that those gold, silver and jade were what she saw was hers, and those people didn't break her legs and throw them out......"

Speaking of this, her eyes lit up, "Otherwise, ......" The armadillo looked at Mo Bai, and Mo Bai looked at Zhao Yuanling, as if waiting for an order.

Zhao Yuanling shook his head, "No." ”

Her eyes were solemn, "The lawsuit still has to be fought first." "Stealing is the next step, she doesn't want to make trouble like this.

It was three days later.

The blue sky, which had been clear all the time, suddenly began to rain and the sky was gray and foggy.

Pedestrians were in a hurry on the road, and they did not stop because of the heavy rain.

In front of the yamen, there were already many people standing watching the excitement.

For them, the county lord's trial is no less than a matter of leisure time.

With the sound of the court session, the county magistrate took the lead in saying to Song Niang, "Now that three days have passed, have your mother and daughter negotiated this matter?" After all, it is an axiom to open a court to handle a case, and human feelings can only be put on this side. ”

Song Niang looked at Zhao Yuanling, and finally shook her head helplessly, "The woman also wants to have a good talk with her, but this daughter is too old to listen to her mother's persuasion, and now she has to ask the county magistrate to decide." ”

"It's really skinless and shameless, when did you come to us?" The armadillo sarcastically.

"Be quiet and quiet, don't make a noise from idle people, or don't blame me for driving people out."

The armadillo closed his mouth indignantly.

Zhao Yuanling calmed down a lot, "Please also ask the adults to decide." ”

"Okay, you both take turns stating things again."

Song Niang took the title deed from the hands of the officials and turned around in front of the fathers and villagers.

"My daughter has lived under the same roof with this Mo Gongzi for more than a month, and this house was originally given to my daughter by this son, and now he wants to sell the house, and the money from the sale of the house belongs to him.

The woman thinks that since this is my daughter's name, the money from the sale should also belong to my daughter, but what she wants to do with so much money at a young age is afraid that she will be deceived by other men, so I, as a mother, have to help her keep it first, so that she will not be deceived by the gangsters. ”

Every word Song Niang said was for Zhao Yuanling's good, and everywhere reflected a mother who couldn't bear to let her daughter be deceived.

"Isn't it, it's not good to lose both money and money."

"A female doll's family, where does she know so much, she was deceived by someone, and she doesn't know how to count the silver for others." The people nodded in agreement, looking at Mo Bai's eyes and pointing.

Mo Bai's waist straightened, and there was no fluctuation in the slightest because they poked their backbones in the back, and his gaze swept over coldly, and everyone closed their mouths in panic.

When it was Zhao Yuanling's turn to speak, her emotions were not as passionate as Song Niang's, but she said very calmly: "I am like brother and sister with this Mo Gongzi, as for why I want to live under the same roof, this is also a helpless move, because the Song family kicked me out of the house, I was penniless and homeless, and it was Mo Gongzi who kindly took me in."

Since he was a foreigner, he could not buy a house in the town, so in order to repay him, my name was written on the title deed. Besides, I am innocent, and the county commander must know this.

If all of this is sinful, then are not all the unmarried women and widows in all of you here? It's not that they don't want to avoid suspicion, but they can't avoid suspicion. ”

For a moment, everyone quieted down, and felt that what she said made some sense, after all, it is common for brothers to live in the same house and not separate.

Not to mention that not every man can work at home, they need to support their families, or further afield, they can only leave their wives and children to be taken care of by their siblings.

Zhao Yuanling then said: "I know that it is not my own, and it is not right to fight for it." After that, she glanced at Song Niang meaningfully, and the other party's eyes were slightly lacking in confidence.

"The money that bought the house was all from Mo Gongzi, and now it is natural for him to want to sell the house, and the money from the sale of the house is naturally his. Am I able to reach out and take the money for no reason because I wrote my name? My conscience tells me that I can't do that.

I am innocent and penniless, so where can I be deceived? Please also ask the county magistrate to call the shots. ”

Looking at what the lively people were talking about, most of them were crusading against Song Niang's immorality as a mother.

Song Niang's face was a little unbearable, but she still didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

"I only know that this white paper is written clearly in black and white, and the owner of the house wrote the name of my daughter Zhao Yuanling. So what's the point of signing and handprinting like this? How else can people's lives be guaranteed? ”

"yes, yes, how can this be neat? Whoever says it belongs to whoever it is, and if he can get it back at any time because he gave the money, then that's not a big deal. The people also chimed in.

Many people take things as collateral because they don't pay back their debts, and these have to be documented, if they can still sue in front of the county magistrate, saying that this thing was bought by him with money, and now he wants to get it back.

So who do they go to? For a while, everyone talked about it.

"Quiet and quiet!" As soon as the board was beaten, the noisy sound in the hall was sudden. All stopped.
