Wuzhi County wants to find justice for the elderly and no longer worry about their livelihood. When he saw his disobedient son begging for forgiveness, he ignored him, and he had to deter his rude daughter-in-law and make her change her ways, otherwise the old man would not be able to go home to live his old age.

He glared at the disobedient son and snorted: "The official has already thought about it, you are a cowardly person, and you can grow your courage by taking your lady to the streets and shopping in the market every day, and save yourself a lifetime." Don't worry, I will send someone to strengthen your courage, she doesn't dare to lose her temper with you, otherwise she will be whipped and waited. Okay, let's start now, come on, tie up this unruly woman, and take her to the downtown to see the scenery. ”

When the woman saw that the county was not intimidating, and that she really wanted such a verdict, she was so frightened that she hurriedly begged for mercy, and she no longer dared to mess around.

Wu Zhixian looked at her contemptuously and sighed deliberately: "In order not to torture you, this official has thought hard about this good way, but he is unwilling, how can this official close the case?"

"We ...... Let's take my mother home......" The daughter-in-law shook her head, very helpless.

When the disobedient son saw that the lady agreed, he also tried his best to agree.

"Hmph, it should have been like this a long time ago, as a daughter-in-law, you should be filial to your mother-in-law, if you dare to have the slightest disobedience, you will be guilty of two crimes, and you will definitely be allowed to 'watch the scenery' and sleep on the street overnight. Do you understand?"

"The villain understands that he will never dare to do it again. The daughter-in-law was full of promises.

"And you, a rebel, as the head of the family, should be in charge. In the future, if you allow the lady to abuse the elderly again, you will definitely be sentenced heavily, can you remember?"

"The villain remembers, if there is an adult in charge, I will definitely stand up and take charge of the matter, and I will never let my mother suffer the slightest grievance. ”

"Okay, you write it down, and the official also writes it down, I hope we don't meet in the hall again like today. ”

The husband and wife agreed repeatedly.

Wu Zhixian was not at ease, and ordered: "Come on, go and find Lizheng." ”

Rizheng was soon brought to the church.

The magistrate instructed: "Lizheng, you have to go to their house every day to check, if there is the slightest disrespectful words and deeds to the old man, immediately escort the two of them to the case, and the official will tie them up in the downtown for public display." If you neglect to look into it, if you don't notice it, or if you don't report it, I'm going to treat you as an accomplice, and I'll try to question you as well!"

Li Zheng hurriedly agreed: "The villain also hates disobedience, so he must go to check it every day and report it according to the truth." ”

"Okay, the case is over, quit!"

Amid the shouts and shouts of the officials, everyone left one after another.

Wu Yunhai, the magistrate of the county, was in a good mood after the trial of the case, and saw Sun An as soon as he left the lobby.

It turned out that Sun An had been back for a long time and was waiting next to the lobby.

Seeing that there was no one nearby, the magistrate hurriedly asked, "How was that thing done?"

"My lord, those two people accompanied the mother and daughter to live in the Anshun Inn, and I will accompany the adult to meet them. ”

Wu Zhixian glared at him: "When did I say that I was going to see them, I thought I was smart." He sighed, "Sun An, let me tell you the truth, the mother and daughter are my mother and sister." But I ...... How dare I admit it, you also know that this is extraordinary. ”

"The villain knows that adults are in trouble, and if this matter is known by Madame, it will cause big trouble, and Madame will not give up. However, such a dear relative, adults can't deny it. ”

"yes, I'm worried about that. Wu Zhixian frowned, pacing slowly, thinking of ideas.

"My lord, that old man is a biological mother, and no matter how difficult it is, he must recognize him. ”

"I ...... I'm not afraid that the unreasonable person will make a noise, once she knows, she won't be able to end, alas, it's really difficult, I'm worried to death. ”

Sun An secretly laughed and said, "My lord, this time you also have the courage to recognize the mother and daughter." If the lady is noisy, you can tie her up and go to the downtown to 'play and see', just like the case you tried today. Adults can rest assured that the villain will take the string and strike the gong instead of the adult. ”

Wu Zhixian glared at him fiercely: "Hmph, you muddy boy is also here to make fun of me!"

"The villain doesn't dare, I mean, these two relatives are extraordinary, and the adults must recognize them. ”

Wu Yunhai, the magistrate, thought for a while and said: "I still can't recognize each other, so let's go to Anshun Inn again, just tell them that there are many people with the same name and surname in the world, and I am not the person they are looking for." My mother is long gone, and they have mistaken the person. ”

Sun An was a little embarrassed: "My lord, how can I tell such a lie, besides, this hurts the hearts of the old lady and her sister." ”

"Do you think I'm feeling better, my heart is bleeding. But what can be done at this point, only to let them go first. As for how to persuade, you can do it, anyway, this matter is left to you, you must handle it well, and you must not cause me trouble. ”

"Alas, the adults have avoided the quiet, making it difficult for the villain. Sun An thought for a while and said, "My lord, no matter what, you can't let the old lady and her sister go home empty-handed, you have to send some silver taels, right?"

"Yes, yes, you didn't remind me, but I forgot. Wu Zhixian frowned and sighed, "But ...... My salary is all with my wife, and if I don't come out, I can't let her know about it. ”

"That'...... Adults can borrow some. ”

"Where can I find someone to borrow at this time? It's convenient to find you, but do you have one?"

"The little man had a lot of gold, silver and jewels in his dreams, but when he woke up, he was empty of joy. He spread his hands and said helplessly, "The adult really can't think about it, so he will sell the villain, no matter how much, it can be regarded as the villain has done a little bit of his best." ”

"You're talking nonsense, it's worth selling you better than selling me, think of a way. He suddenly had an idea, and said, "In this case, in the name of going on a business trip to handle a case, you go to the account office to withdraw ten taels of silver and send it over." ”

"Handling the case is the errand of the officials, how can I take it?"

"You are my cronies, this case is special, only you can handle it. Just say so, and see who dares not to pay you. However, you can't mention my mother and sister, so go ahead. ”

"My lord, ten taels is too little, at least fifty taels should be sent. ”

"I'm already violating the law by doing this, how dare I take more. ”

"Otherwise, it will be thirty taels. ”

"Alas, no, it's still twenty taels, after you hand it over to my mother, let them leave immediately. This is good for everyone, so that there will be no recurrence of right and wrong. ”

Sun An asked, "My lord, do you recognize your mother?"

"No, you must not say a word. ”

"My lord, you are not afraid of others saying that you are ......" Sun An didn't dare to continue.

"It's unfilial piety, it's a big rebellion, right?" the magistrate glared at him. "If you don't say it, who knows?" he sighed, "I want to fly to my mother immediately, but I don't dare." I'm in a very difficult situation now, and I'm helpless, helpless......" He shook his head and sighed with a bitter look on his face, tears in his eyes.

Sun An was a little sad and reminded: "As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, even if I don't say it, the old lady and sister can't guarantee not to tell others." ”

Wu Yunhai frowned and sighed: "At this point, I can't take care of the things in front of me, and I can't take care of the things in the future." Whoever wants to say it, let him say go, and get through this moment first. You have to let them go as soon as possible, so that nothing happens. ”

Sun An had no good way, so he had to follow the instructions of the magistrate, and I hope everything goes well.

He came to the Anshun Inn, and after seeing the Jiang family and Wu Yunli, he said: "Old man, I have already told the magistrate about you, and he said that his biological mother has passed away a long time ago, and there is no such thing. Even though you have the same name and surname as your son, you have also recognized the wrong person, so look elsewhere. ”

Wu Yunli was anxious: "Wu Yunhai is my brother, how can he admit his mistake." He returned to his hometown before he got married, and he clearly said that he was an official here. ”

"Oh, I see. Sun An was unexpected, and he couldn't deal with it for a while. He thought for a moment and said, "It seems that you have indeed made a mistake, this matter is too coincidental, the former magistrate is also surnamed Wu, the person you are looking for may be him." Didn't your brother tell you when he left office?"

"My brother is not here, why doesn't he bring a letter to the family?" Wu Yunli was puzzled and helpless.

The mother and daughter were already struggling to make ends meet, and they wanted to take refuge here to survive the difficulties, but they were disappointed.

"It's so unfortunate that you're here, he's not here anymore. As for why, I don't know, maybe things are too rushed to go back and visit you. ”

Wu Yunli asked again, "Where did my brother go again?"

"I ...... How can I, a subordinate, know such a thing? You don't have to be anxious, he will be able to visit him when he has time to spare. You have nowhere to go here, life is difficult, so you should go home and wait as soon as possible. ”

The mother and daughter sighed again and again when they thought of their hometown where they had no food and clothing.

Sun An was afraid of making another mistake, so he didn't dare to stay longer, took out the silver and said: "Old man, the magistrate and your son are officials in the same dynasty, and you have worked hard to find here, and I am afraid that there will be no life after returning home, so I asked me to send these twenty taels of silver over, so that I can go back to make a living." Alas, as the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as the grass nest in your hometown, so go back as soon as possible. With that, he put down the silver and took his leave.

Jiang's mother and daughter searched for relatives to no avail, and they had no way to seek refuge, so they were very depressed and couldn't help crying.

Zhang Yuntian and Yue Xiaomei were also sad for them, and they were very puzzled when they thought about it carefully.

Zhang Yuntian said to himself: "How could things be so coincidental, the two magistrates have the same name and surname? Could there be something unspeakable behind this?"

"Brother is right, how can there be such a coincidence, it must be that the magistrate doesn't want to recognize your mother and daughter, so he sent the matter away with silver. You can't just leave without any results. ”

Wu Yunli shook her head: "Even so, what can I do, my mother and daughter are cowardly and incompetent, and there is no way in front and behind, but how can it be good......" Although she felt that this was reasonable, she was very helpless, and she sighed with a sad face.
