7 Chapter 7
Tian Tian chatted with the husband and wife for a while, and the more they talked, the heavier their hearts became.
learned from the husband and wife that Xu Mu reversed black and white for the sake of silver, pointed to the deer as a horse, and forcibly picked up Zhou Dashao's rape. In turn, he accused the woman of deliberately seducing him to do his good deeds, and was insatiable enough to ask for the position of his wife afterwards, but he was unwilling to give it, so the woman threatened with death, resulting in her unfortunate death.
Zhou Dashao also became a victim.
The husband and wife carried the body to the court, which became a deliberate lawsuit, but in fact, they asked Zhou Dashao to compensate a huge amount of money.
Xu Mu used this as an excuse to blast the husband and wife out of the court directly.
The unjustly killed daughter became a who seduced the rich family, and the husband and wife became villains who did not hesitate to carry the corpse to the court in order to achieve their goals.
How could the husband and wife swallow this breath and wanted to go to Yuzhou to complain, but the prefect of Yuzhou was Xu Mu Lao Taishan. It is even more impossible to go to the capital, their ancestors are poor people, they don't know a few big characters, they have no money, and the officials and officials of this world protect each other, even if they travel a long way to the capital, it is estimated that the bamboo basket is empty, and there is no way to ask for help, so they desperately come to the gate of Xufu to seek death.
The husband and wife cried: "Although my daughter has just met and has not been married, but there has always been a student in the village who is good with her, and the man is ready to send a matchmaker to the door to propose marriage. ”
"Have you ever said these things to an adult?" Tian Tian asked.
"Naturally, I said it, but the dog officer didn't listen to it at all, he only recognized silver in his eyes." The husband and wife spoke out with hatred.
Tian Tian sighed helplessly, and didn't know how to help Xu Mu explain that he had been in Changping County for several years, and his political achievements were seen by the people.
"Where are the post-graduate students now? Can he be allowed to testify? ”
The husband and wife seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, and their eyes were red.
"That Housheng was locked up by his father and mother at home, and he was not allowed to testify, for fear of getting angry."
Zhou Dashao's family in the county has a lot of money, and it is too simple to clean up a person, and the county master still helps the Zhou family in this matter, who dares to come out without knowing the interest and is not happy, the same is true, in the absence of witnesses, they fell into such a situation.
Tian Tian carefully recalled the memory of the original owner, wanted to find a breakthrough from her memory, and tried to find a solution, but unfortunately, after the original owner married in the previous life, he only knew the sadness and sorrow, and only talked about Tang Zhixian, and he did not have the slightest impression of this matter.
At the beginning, the housekeeper also came to her, reported this matter, and she handed it over to the housekeeper to deal with, and then this matter never made a splash, and after a long time, she slowly forgot about it, and it was not clear how it was solved later.
At this moment, Xu Mufeng rushed into the Rose Courtyard and went straight into the house.
All the maids in the house saluted and greeted.
Xu Mu's face was not very good, and he did not respond, his eyes first swept over Tian Tian, and then fell on the husband and wife.
Although the husband and wife hated Xu Mu's itchy teeth, Xu Muzhen was in front of them, but they didn't dare to do anything. The husband couldn't help it and wanted to have a seizure, but his wife hurriedly restrained him, they had already told Mrs. Zhixian the ins and outs of the matter, as long as there was still a glimmer of hope, they had to grit their teeth and endure it, and they couldn't offend the dog official head-on.
Tian Tian directly met Xu Mu's eyes, and his expression was indifferent: "Xianggong, you are back." ”
Xu Mu snorted, and then waved back everyone: "You all retreat." Then he commanded: "Settle the husband and wife." ”
Tian Tian said directly: "Xianggong, this husband and wife are the distinguished guests I invited in, so let them stay in the Rose Courtyard." ”
Xu Mu's face sank, and the room was like three feet of ice.
Xianglan took the husband and wife out at the right time.
Only Tian Tian and Xu Mu were left in the room, and no one spoke first, and the quiet needle drop in the room could be heard.
The atmosphere is tense and eerie.
Xu Mu sat on the top and stared at Tian Tian for a while before he spoke: "Madam, I will send someone to take away this husband and wife, you don't have to interfere." ”
Tian Tian tilted his head to look at him: "What does Xianggong want to do with the husband and wife?" ”
"It's not something you're a woman to worry about." Xu Mu's tone was a little impulsive, when he learned that his newlywed wife was intervening in this matter, he was unhappy in his heart, he had not been angry before, he just thought of the presence of his subordinates, and he didn't want to embarrass her.
Tian Tian said coldly: "Both husband and wife came to the gate of Xufu in despair to find death, since what happened in front of Xufu, I, the hostess, have the right to know the truth and the result." ”
"The case is involved, and the county government will deal with it, and the lady will be at home with peace of mind."
Tian Tian is a straight person, and he can't help it anymore: "Xianggong, the husband and wife have already told me what happened, I want to ask Xianggong, a boudoir woman who already has a crush, and is about to marry the person she likes, how can she take the initiative to seduce the county's gentlemen?" Don't Xianggong feel suspicious?
That Zhou Dashao also said that the woman asked to be his wife afterwards, but Zhou Dashao was unwilling, so she threatened to die? It doesn't make sense here, if a woman wants to be a wife, shouldn't she keep her body clean so that she has more bargaining chips? In hindsight, how can a man succeed if he has been cheapened? Xianggong, isn't this a suspicious point?
Moreover, the husband and wife carried the corpse to the county government to complain many times, if they were really greedy for money, how could they be forced to die in front of the Xu Mansion? Isn't that a suspicion? Xianggong, there are so many doubts, what is the reason for you to close the case in a hurry?
Could it be that Xianggong really received a large amount of benefits from Zhou Dashao as the couple said, so they reversed black and white, referring to the deer as a horse and a tiger as a tiger? ”
Xu Mu didn't expect his newlywed wife to point out the key points so directly, and tear off his fig leaf mercilessly.
"Madam, these are the words of the Diao people, and you question your husband with this, what is the reason?" Xu Mu was quite displeased, the woman took care of the inner house, and he didn't allow it to be on his head.
Tian Tian did not flinch: "Do you dare to answer my words?" ”
Xu Mu slapped his hand, and the small table next to him shook the sky: "Presumptuous, you are talking to your husband like this?" ”
Tian Tian still didn't flinch, his eyes looked at him directly. She doesn't want to be dumb like before, blindly building a good relationship with him, and now that the unjust cases have been found in front of the Xu Mansion, if she still doesn't care about it and lets it go, the final outcome will definitely be her head.
Either way, she had to do what she could.
Xu Mu saw that Tian Tian was not like those ignorant women in the inner house, if she didn't make it clear today, she would definitely not give up, so she simply opened the skylight and said something bright.
"So far, I don't want to lie to you, I did receive a large sum of money from the Zhou family."
Even though Tian Tian had already guessed this fact, he couldn't help but be angry when he heard him say it in person.
How could he take corruption and bribery for granted.
"You are a county parent official, how can you do such a conscientious thing?"
Xu Mu smiled angrily: "I lost my conscience? The momentum on his body suddenly changed sharply, and his voice rose several degrees: "Obviously, this world has lost all conscience, if I pity them today, who will pity me?" ”
Xu Mu seemed to think of something extremely painful, and seemed to smile sadly: "I have studied hard for ten years, ten years, I am obviously full of economy, but there is no one who takes money to make a straw bag to rise fast, I have taken the exam twice, do you know why I took the exam twice?" It's not that I'm shallow, but the first time I didn't take the silver to dot, so I was brushed down, and then the second time I learned smart, I sent a large amount of silver to the invigilator, I not only won the lift, but also the gold list title Jinshi and the first, glorious ancestors. Isn't that ridiculous, you say? ”
Tian Tian has a complicated heart.
Xu Mu continued: "What if I become a magistrate now? It's not that I have to send a large amount of silver to it, otherwise I will always be a seven-grade county order, and I will never have a chance to rise. ”
Xu Mu picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of tea, Tian Tian was surprised, it was her teacup, but she didn't speak at this time, waited for him to finish drinking, gently put down the teacup, Xu Mu glanced at her with a complicated expression: "If I hadn't been sending silver to Lao Taishan, countless gifts, do you think he would look at me more?" Do you think he's going to marry his daughter off to me?
If people don't destroy heaven and earth for themselves, I can't even take care of myself, so why should I pity others? Whoever can give me money is my God of Wealth, and I will naturally take care of it. ”
Xu Mu said it very directly, and Tian Tian was very angry when he heard it. Xu Mu's experience is indeed touching and sympathetic, but now that he is a county magistrate, he should ask for his life for the people and ensure the safety of the party.
"Xu Mu, your experience makes me sigh and feel a lot of emotion, but then again, no matter what you did before, but now that you are a county parent official, you should take responsibility and ask for your life for the people, instead of doing things that violate your conscience for some money, otherwise how can you be worthy of this official uniform on your body."
Xu Mu was laughed at by Tian Tian, he said so much, instead of understanding herself, she also accused him, she still knew that he was her husband, was it her God?
"On the matter of being a parent official, Lao Taishan has done a lot more out of line than me, I at least just drove people out of the yamen, Lao Taishan is directly killing people and killing people, why don't you go back and talk about Lao Taishan first?"
It is unreasonable for a woman in the house to control his head.
Xu Mu snorted coldly, got up straight from the chair, and brushed his sleeves away.
Tian Tian hurriedly stopped him: "That couple ....."
"Hugh has to mention it again, there is no need to discuss this matter again." Xu Mu directly interrupted Tian Tian's words and strode away, and Zhou Nan didn't dare to catch up.
Tian Tian had a headache when she saw the back of the man leaving, she had just changed nothing except for a fight with Xu Mu.
Xianglan walked in at the right time to comfort: "Madam, are you okay?" "They heard the sound of the quarrel between the lady and the lord at the door just now, and this time the lord was furious.
Tian Tian didn't see any trace of the husband and wife, and he chuckled in his heart, for fear that Xu Mu would take people away, so he hurriedly asked, "What about the husband and wife?" ”
"I have been arranged by the slave to rest in the wing." Pandan Road.
Tian Tian nodded reassuringly.
"Madam, the adult has always been like this, and it is completely impossible for you to persuade him to change his mind." Pandan comforts.
Tian Tian was puzzled: "Xianglan, how do you know adults so well?" "A maid who knows Xu Mu too well, is really suspicious.
"This is a well-known thing, the lord is notoriously ruthless, and he will collect money, and the prefect also appreciates the fact that the lord of the prefect intends to marry you to him." At that time, his deeds were spread all over the house, and only his wife was concerned about Tang Zhixian and did not take the adult in her eyes, so that she was not very clear about his style of doing things.
