Chapter 77: Buying people's hearts with silver
What happened was that these people rushed in and didn't get the answer they hoped for.
And some of these people are indeed very urgent to regard the living bodhisattva as the only salvation, and some people have been here for several days, so the mood can be imagined.
I don't know why, suddenly someone said: "The living bodhisattva is also a snob, she only helps the rich and powerful, these people can't get into her eyes, and ordinary people can only beg bitterly." ”
In the end, no one can say how the fight started, in short, the already dilapidated house was completely destroyed, and the fighters and those who persuaded the fight became a mess, and many people were afraid of offending the Bodhisattva and quietly withdrew and ran away.
So there were only eight men and women who came to the county hall, and the leader of them was the husband of the couple who was holding the child, and her wife stood outside the door with many onlookers, but some were anxious, some were gloating, and some were pure curiosity, with gossip and excitement written on their faces.
With the addition of a beautiful mother and daughter, things seem to be even more interesting, and the onlookers already have countless versions in their hearts ready to tell the story to relatives and friends who have not come.
The reason for calling Qin Xun over was that the little white nun with a very clever mouth said that Qin Xun deliberately spread rumors to harm them, and their master and apprentice were just meditating here, how could they ever say to the public that they would look at their faces?
Qin Xun quietly listened to the little nun's accusation, and looked at her mother in surprise: "Mother, people have never said that they can read faces, so how do you know that Mrs. Shi has opened her eyes to heaven?" ”
Su Shi pursed her lips and was silent, in fact, she had already informed Qin Xun of all the details when she came, and she seemed to have just come to her senses, knowing that she had probably done something stupid again.
But this matter was said by the third aunt, could it be that the third aunt did it on purpose? Impossible, it is impossible for the third aunt to do such a thing, absolutely impossible.
asked her not to speak, it was also Qin Xun who said in advance in the carriage, no matter who asked anything, she just had to be silent, even if she asked herself, she would not answer.
Qin Xun saw that his mother didn't answer, so he looked at the county order helplessly: "My lord also saw it, after my mother came back from Mrs. Shi, she never saw me, and she didn't talk to me, I asked the accompanying maid to know the existence of Mrs. Shi, so I went to see Mrs. Shi the next day, and I originally wanted to ask Mrs. Shi what Mrs. said to my mother?" It's just that I never expected that as soon as I entered, Shitai would tell me about my situation, which was really convincing. ”
After a pause, she explained solemnly: "However, even so, I haven't said anything about Shitai, this matter is just a matter of people in the family going out to say, as for how it became more and more popular, the woman does not know." ”
Qin Xun is relatively thin and beautiful, plus she is rich and rich, and after kneeling on the ground is very sincere, people have to believe her.
Seeing that she had pushed herself cleanly, the little nun was immediately furious, and pointed at her and said, "What you want to say is so high-sounding, you forcibly broke into our room that day, and almost injured us, you are really arrogant and domineering; Now he looks weak and reasonable, hum, he really pretends to be pretentious and coquettish. ”
"Alas, do monks practice without cultivating virtue?" Qin Xun shook her head, looking at the little nun with pity and a little disappointment, just like an adult looking at an ignorant child, but in fact, the little nun was almost the same age as her.
The little nun's cultivation is naturally not as good as Qin Xun, who has lived a life and has experienced a lot, and just one sentence with one look is enough to make the little nun almost mad.
The older senior sister stretched out her hand and pulled the senior sister, signaling her not to talk more, and then looked at Qin Xun again, the meaning of her eyes was unclear, but there was also a hidden threat.
Qin Xun looked at her uncompromisingly and raised her eyebrows defiantly.
The county order spoke at this time, and said: "In this way, it is a misunderstanding, not an intentional mistake, Qin, although this matter is not intentional by you, but it is also caused by you, however, you did not do it intentionally, it is the reason why you are not effective in controlling the people in the family, so I will punish you a small sentence and let you remember this lesson." ”
After speaking, he looked at Qin Xun in the audience, Qin Xun raised his eyes, and his heart was shocked, this person's eyes were too deep, Qin Xun couldn't understand his thoughts, so he could only kowtow.
The small punishment and the big admonition are a fine of fifty taels of silver, Qin Xun breathed a sigh of relief, but he secretly hated in his heart, it was really useless to earn silver like this.
Seeing that Qin Xun was very obedient, the county commander lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes, and the master on his side coughed lightly, and the county commander raised his head, patted the startled wood, and said coldly: "In this way, it's just a misunderstanding, and the second Mrs. Xiao and the Su family have nothing to do with this matter, so you can get up and stand aside." ”
Qin Xun got up, helped Su Shi up, and then walked to the side to watch, but at this time she paid more attention to the county order than the old nun.
Lao Ni opened his eyes, glanced at Qin Coriander at the end of his eyes, and frowned slightly.
At this time, the county magistrate sentenced the eight people who beat and made trouble to each of them with 40 boards, and put them in prison, each of whom needed 20 taels of silver to redeem them.
Qin Xun saw that some people glared at the old nun dissatisfiedly, and some people threw unkind eyes on him, and his heart jumped, it was best not to provoke anyone who provoked him, besides, the matter really had nothing to do with himself.
So, Qin Xun hurriedly stepped forward, curtsied to the county order, and said: "This matter is indeed inseparable from me, if it weren't for my family going out to spread rumors, they wouldn't have gone to see Shitai by hearsay, let alone causing this unwarranted disaster, so I helped you out with their fines, which can be regarded as making up for a little shame." ”
Eight people are one hundred and sixty taels, plus her own, but two hundred and ten taels of real money.
Everyone was taken aback, and the people who were just a little dissatisfied with Qin Xun immediately dissipated these negative emotions, only to feel that she was also innocent and everyone was implicated.
Whether it was the onlookers outside or the people kneeling on the ground, including the officials on both sides, they all praised Qin Xun's righteousness openly and secretly.
The county magistrate looked at Qin Xun with a smile and waited for her next words.
I saw Qin Xun look at Lao Ni again and pleaded: "Even if the master avoids it, you still don't give up, I think there is indeed a last resort." I hope that the teacher will not be jealous of everyone, and ask the adults to spare everyone this experience. ”
Qin Xun quietly put all the pressure on Lao Nun, if you plead, it's fine, if you don't plead, you are narrow-minded, not a master of the world, let alone a bullshit 'living bodhisattva'.
The old nun couldn't, so he could only ask the official master, but the county magistrate sneered: "What are my words when you are the master?" What do you say, then what do you want this court to do? What else do you want this master to do? ”
In the crowded crowd outside, someone suddenly coaxed: "The second lady, who was not the county magistrate at the beginning, once said in public that this old nun was a 'living bodhisattva', and everyone was more convinced, should the second lady be invited to ask questions now?" ”
All of a sudden, everyone began to whisper, but their eyes were all glancing at the county magistrate, seeing the lively county magistrate, he didn't expect that things would turn to him, and he couldn't find out the person who was coaxing for a while, so he was a little annoyed and looked a little gloomy and terrible.
The "famous" Qin Xun took a step back, stood back beside the Su family, and only watched coldly how this county order ended?
