Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mouth Speaks the Truth
"I really didn't expect it! Su Mutou would do such a filial thing after he became wise!"
"He shouldn't have used some kind of treacherous Confucian rhetoric to enlighten his wisdom, right?"
"If that's the case, folks, we must write a 'Book of All People' and go to the temple to ban the child who is the head of the case in Su Mutou......"
……
The lethality of Su Liu's sprinkle is really powerful, especially now that his hair is scattered, and he is embarrassed and crying hoarsely, which has aroused the sympathy of these villagers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In addition, the gamblers who lost money because Su Lin won the head of the case were adding fuel to the fire, and for a while, the entire Dongjiekou was surrounded by people, pointing at Su Lin.
Obviously, most of the people are on Su Liu's side. There has even been a proposal to write an Epistle to the temple for the people.
"No...... That's not true. My brother is not such a person...... Be...... It's the stepmother herself who wants to move out......"
Su Ru saw so many people surrounding and accusing her brother Su Lin, so she retorted loudly.
Su Lin frowned and didn't speak, he knew that the more he argued with Su Liu's family at this time, the worse the situation would be, he had to find a way to let the facts come to light, so that the villagers could see the true face of Su Liu's family.
"Lord Xiancheng is here! Look, Lord Xiancheng is here......"
"Please administer justice to the county!"
"Lord County Cheng wants to punish Su Lin, an unfilial person!"
……
From a distance, Li Ting, the county magistrate, heard the momentum at the entrance of Dongjiekou, hurried over, and said majestically in the face of the noisy and noisy people:
"Don't make a noise!" Wait for Su Lin, the head of the trial case in Weiju County, to be here, what is the reason, come quickly!"
"Lord County, you must be the master of the people's wife!"
When Su Liu saw that Li Ting from the county was coming, he pretended to squeeze out a few tears and cried.
"The folk woman Su Liu is the stepmother of Su Lin, the leader of the case. After my husband passed away, he has always been a woman, treating Su Lin and Su Ru as his own, even if Su Lin is still fifteen years old, he still treats him like a child.
Unexpectedly, he made a move, forced us to sign a separation contract, and ruthlessly drove me and my child Su Wen out of Su Mansion......
It doesn't matter if I'm a woman, but pity my son Su Wen is only ten years old...... Whining...... I beg the adults to be the masters of the people's women!"
Tears broke down in his eyes, but the corner of Su Liu's eyes looked at Dong Feng who was hiding in the crowd. Today's episode was actually discussed between her and Dong Feng, and only this method could defeat Su Lin.
Wu State established the country with filial piety, and punished the unfilial people very severely, and a child who was the head of the unfilial case, and the defendant would be deprived of his status and civil status when he went to the county office, and even had to go to prison.
"Right...... Lord County, Su Lin is such a person, I can testify!
Su Liu came to our pharmacy every month to buy supplements for him, but he hit the head of the case and won 100,000 taels of silver, but he didn't even abide by the most basic filial piety and drove his stepmother and younger brother out of the house.
Such a person, even if he becomes an official in the future, is a corrupt official without affection...... I beg the county lord to deprive him of his clan and civil title, and put him in prison!"
Dong Feng, who was hiding in the crowd, stood up and shouted pretending to be righteous. Immediately after, the people who were incited around followed the trend and shouted:
"Please give the Su Liu family justice!"
The crowd was angry, and after Su Liu and Dong Feng fanned the flames again, it seemed that all the people had already decided that Su Lin was such an unfilial person.
Seeing such a situation, Li Ting, the county leader, also didn't know what to do. Although he knew in his heart that Su Lin was an immortal genius who opened his mind with holy words, he would definitely not be an unfilial person.
But now the public opinion is difficult to disobey, so many people are sure that Su Lin's conduct is not filial, if he favors Su Lin without any basis and no basis, the people will definitely refuse to give up, but he can't tell the people frankly that Su Lin is a genius who is enlightened by Confucius's words.
Just when Li Ting didn't know what to do, Su Lin looked at the person who screamed the most fiercely in the crowd, and his eyes froze, it turned out to be Dong Zijin's brother Dong Feng.
However, the testimony he just said reminded Su Lin of the matter of "Meng Zhicao", and he had an idea in his heart.
"Lord County, since everyone says that I am not filial. I don't want to explain too much, I just want to ask Su Liu a few questions quietly, and when the time comes, justice will be at ease in people's hearts. ”
Su Lin bowed his hand to Li Ting, the county magistrate, and said.
"Okay, Su Lin, this official allows you to ask. And I believe that you are not an unfilial person. ”
Li Ting nodded, and then said to the people around him, "Folks, everyone be quiet. This matter will definitely be investigated by the official.
Now, please listen quietly to what the head of the Su case has to say, and you can't listen to the words of one side. ”
With Li Ting's presence from Qipin County, the people's mood was relatively stable, and they were able to listen to Su Lin's words, otherwise according to the one-sided scene before, Su Lin would be drowned by the spitting stars before he could speak.
"Thank you, Lord County, but before I ask, I want to borrow the Wenbao Silver Hook Pen that Lord County Cheng carries with me. ”
Seeing that the people around him were quiet, Su Lin said calmly.
"You want to borrow a silver hook pen? Do you mean you...... Do you want to use the Holy Power Spell to 'speak the truth'?"
The county Cheng Li Ting was stunned for a moment, took off the silver hook pen from his waist, handed it to him, and said, "You have just opened your mind, and you haven't even been granted a literary position, so you can actually use holy power spells?"
"Thank you, sir, the right and wrong twists and turns, you will know when you hear it. ”
After receiving the silver hook pen, Su Lin had a strange feeling, the silver hook pen was held in his hand, as if it had become a part of the body, although the blood of the body could not pass through the silver hook pen, but all thoughts and thoughts could be unimpeded on the silver hook pen.
In fact, Su Lin didn't have a lot of confidence in his heart, and he could really use the holy power spell of "spitting out the truth".
However, in the past three days, I have browsed the books left by Xiucai's father at home, and I know a few elementary holy power spells.
If he only relied on himself, even if he had three bricks of holy power, which was more than the average child, but without the blessing of the power of the civil position, he would not be able to use the holy power spell at all.
Therefore, at this time, Su Lin had to use Wenbao as a medium to be able to release the Holy Power Spell. This is why I have to ask Li Ting, the county prince, to borrow Wenbao silver hook pen.
"Su Liu, I'll just ask you three questions! For so many years, do you really regard me as your own? You go to the pharmacy every month to grab medicine, what kind of medicine did you catch? Who instructed you to come here today!"
Su Lin was behind him with one hand, holding a silver hook pen in the other, his eyes were blazing at Su Liu's, his thoughts were accessible, the holy power in his wisdom was surging, and the words were sonorous.
After asking these three questions, the holy power poured into the silver hook pen, and quickly sketched four large golden characters in mid-air, "Mouth...... Spit...... True...... Words!"
With a flash of golden light, the four big characters of holy light instantly submerged into Su Liu's body, Su Liu's quickly covered his mouth, his eyes widened, and he tried his best to refuse, but in the end, he couldn't help the power of the holy power spell, and was forced to confide in the truth:
"After my husband died, in order for my son Su Wen to inherit the status of a scholar. I mistreated the Surin brothers and sisters everywhere, and outsiders seemed to me to be very good to them, but in fact, they were given worse food and drink than their subordinates.
Because I was afraid that Su Lin would be born in Zhizhong, I also went to the Dong family pharmacy every month to buy Mengzhi herb and add it to Su Lin's meals...... This time, it was Dong Feng who instigated me, and he said that only this method can completely defeat Su Lin and snatch the Su family's status as a scholar to my son Su Wen......"
In one breath, Su Liu told all the truth in front of so many villagers and county Cheng Li Ting.
In an instant, she went from being a pitiful poor woman to a vicious stepmother that everyone spurned.
"It turns out that Su is fifteen years old and can't be enlightened, and it has always been this vicious woman who has done it!"
"Please punish this wicked woman, we were almost deceived by her......"
"Femme fatale! I didn't expect Su Xiucai to be diligent all his life, and he would marry such a vicious woman, and ask the county lord to uphold justice!"
"It's not easy to be the head of the Su case! With such a vicious stepmother, she can still be angry and strong, and she is admitted to the first place in high school. It's a role model for my generation!"
……
In this way, there was no need for Su Lin to make any explanation, Su Liu himself made all the vicious crimes public, and the people changed their positions in an instant, and no one sympathized with Su Liu and spoke for Su Liu.
All of them overwhelmingly denounced Su Liu's vicious crimes, and even the woman who had just returned from buying vegetables from the market unceremoniously picked up the green vegetable leaves or eggs in the basket and threw them at Su Liu's body.
"Smash! smash this wicked woman to death......"
"Femme fatale! Unworthy of being a mother, smash her! Aunt Liu, borrow two of your eggs from me to smash, go back and pay you back!"
"Just take it and smash it! You don't need to pay it back, smash this vicious woman, and be angry for the suffering that Su has suffered over the years!"
"The hateful poisonous woman, she dared to deceive us and spread it on the street, causing us to almost wronged the head of the Su case......"
……
Su Liu's anger was provoked, and countless green vegetable leaves and eggs were thrown at her.
Li Ting, the county magistrate, was also relieved when he saw the truth, but he saw a figure in the crowd who wanted to escape secretly.
It was Dong Feng, who instigated Su Liu's family, who immediately had a fresh breeze on his feet, chased after him in the air, grabbed his shoulders, and pulled him back: "Traitor, where to run?"
Grabbing and throwing, Li Ting, the county magistrate, threw Dong Feng to Su Liu's side, and the people's cries of denunciation became even higher.
The vegetable leaves and eggs were all lost, and the small traders in the neighborhood took the initiative to pull over the rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs that they couldn't sell, so that everyone had a good time.
"Hey!"
Seeing Su Liu's body, covered with rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, prostrate on the ground, his cloak curled up in a ball, Su Lin couldn't bear it anymore and sighed.
At this time, Dong Huagui, the old man of Dong, was moving his fat body, belatedly, and while walking, he happily waved to Su Lin and shouted: "Virtuous son-in-law......!
