Chapter 5: The Old Woman Tells the Tiger

Tan Jinxuan cultivated the evil way, went up the mountain and colluded with the evil tiger, and murdered the businessman for twenty or thirty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because he had read books and knew how to evade the punishment of the official law, he selected all foreigners, and he was cautious, so he was not exposed for a long time, and the government never sent anyone to arrest him.

He was happy to kill people outside, but he suffered from his mother, thinking that he died in the tiger's mouth after entering the mountain.

The old lady of the Tan family is seventy years old and still has the strength to farm, but she is very scared when she thinks that if she is sick and dying, no one will bring her saliva to drink.

Unwillingly, the old woman of the Tan family cried in front of the ghosts and gods.

But the old woman was just ignorant, and she had no evil thoughts, she cried to the ghosts, but the ghosts and gods did not dare to lead her to the evil path.

It was useless to cry and beg the ghosts and gods, and the old woman also took out the fierceness of the mountain people, got up like a hob, wiped her tears, ate all the offerings, and drank sesame oil.

The old woman said to herself: "That's it, that's it, my son is dead, the neighborhood is unkind, the ghosts and gods don't do anything with money, I can only go to the yamen to ask the master, if it doesn't work, I will die in the yamen, and I can earn a thin coffin." ”

In the past, the countrymen were afraid of the yamen, and they solved some things by themselves, so they easily did not go to the yamen.

This old woman was determined to live and die, and a brutal spirit came out of her, and she actually ran to the yamen and beat the drum to cry out the grievances.

When the errand officer came out, she saw that she was an old woman, and she didn't even have a complaint empty-handed.

According to common sense, these people should be thrown out, or beaten first, so that she would not despise the yamen, and she would come to beat the drum and shout grievances if she was a big fart.

But the servant took a closer look, and the old woman's body was quite strong, but her voice was old, and it was difficult to distinguish between men and women.

This is a long-lived old man.

These people can't be beaten, and they die when they are beaten, so they can only coax her to let her.

The old woman entered the county office, and she didn't understand the rules, so she just knelt down, held her head high and shouted: "Lord Cangtian, the tiger ate my son and made me have nothing to support, I will sue the tiger!"

It's also a coincidence, the county official also cultivates the "Haoran Righteous Qi Technique", he fixed his eyes and saw that although this old woman was arrogant and ignorant, she had no evil thoughts.

The county official's heart moved, and he didn't want to embarrass her. But suing the tiger is easy to agree.

Otherwise, from now on, hundreds of hunters will have to be recruited in the yamen.

And give her some money, and order her neighbors to take care of her, the county magistrate said with a smile: "The tiger is not in humanity, how can it be punished with humane law?"

"No, the tiger eats my son, pay for his life!" The old woman was ignorant, but not stupid, she judged the situation, and she could see that the county officials were afraid that she would die suddenly.

The old woman thought to herself, if I die in the yamen, even if I can't hurt you, I can still disgust you.

It's worth it to disgust the official with this remnant.

The old woman cried even more, knelt on the ground and grabbed the ground with her head, shouting 'The old body congratulates the eldest man on his birthday'.

When the county magistrate saw her having a brutal seizure, his good feelings immediately disappeared, and he scolded her loudly and asked her to go home, "You are alive, and your own neighbors will take care of you." If you die, there will be a public sacrifice in the yamen and a road sacrifice in the neighborhood, and you don't need to worry about what will happen after you die. ”

The old woman thought to herself, how can the neighborhood compare to her son?

Master Guan, you see the gods and goddesses in the village, there are people who are in awe all day long, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and there are ox carts when they go out. You see the widows in the village, begging for a mouthful of water and food, barely surviving, unable to walk on their feet, and can only push a wheelbarrow.

The old woman also risked my life to fight, maybe the wheelbarrow will become an ox cart.

"The old body has been lonely all his life, and he will enjoy a few days of happiness when he is old. The tiger has eaten my family's champion and caused me no happiness, and I will sue it. "The old woman is unrelenting, and she is in the county office.

The county magistrate thought to himself, "I cultivate Haoran righteousness, I am not afraid of ghosts and gods, and I do not believe in retribution." But she's messing around, I can't beat her, I can't do anything about her. It's better to coax her home and order someone to take care of her. ”

"Old man, you are violating the king's law by doing this. But I will not punish you when you are old. Go home, and I will order someone to catch the tiger for you. When the tiger is caught, you bitter lord will come back to sue it. The county magistrate put on a pleasant face and coaxed the old woman to go home.

"No, there must be a notice, I will not leave. The old woman was tired from kneeling, so she simply lay on the ground like dried fish.

"......" The gentleman can be bullied, the county official can't cry or laugh, and there is no way to hold the old hob meat, so he can only ask the official to call the errand and help the feet, and ask who can go to catch the tiger.

"Whoever catches the tiger to answer the lawsuit will be rewarded by this official. The county magistrate glared at the officers and told them with his eyes: Relieve the siege of this official, otherwise you will look good!

Tigers want to eat people, who is idle and has nothing to do to catch tigers? The servants all bowed their heads like clay sculptures.

The county magistrate knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Five taels, ten taels, fifteen taels...... If there are no warriors, the official will spend 20 taels to recruit another meritorious. ”

The office of the official is ancestral, and it is immovable. The position of an errand servant is earned, and it will be miserable to annoy the eldest master.

There is a man named Li Neng among the errand soldiers, he is also a hob meat, he is bold on weekdays, and the butcher's daughter dares to marry.

Last night, he couldn't pay enough food, so he was beaten up by the butcher's daughter, and he shrank in the firewood room all night.

I was in a bad mood today, and I was in trouble with my father-in-law when I came on a business trip, and my father-in-law was so deceitful that he couldn't do anything, so he could only cut five cooked pig whips for him, and gave him money and a dime of wine, and coaxed him away.

After eating the pig whip secretly on the road, Li Neng sat in the back office and watched others gambling money, so he gambled and drank a dime of wine.

Although the person is not drunk, the heart is already drunk.

Now listening to the county magistrate say 'twenty taels', Li Neng's eyes are red, twenty taels, how many donkey whips and deer whips can you buy?

He jumped out in one step, walked to the front of the stage in three steps, patted his chest and said, "Master, I can do twenty taels!"

The county official doesn't like drunkards, but he also knows that temporary workers are not easy to do, and there is a lot of money and no one to rely on, so he can only endure it.

As for twenty taels...... If a tiger is caught, the reward can be taken out of the donation, and the tiger can be given as a gift or sold after the tiger is dissected. The money obtained can be used to support the old woman.

"If you catch a tiger within ten days, add five taels!" the county official replied with a wave of his hand.

"The villain doesn't want five taels, if it's a male tiger, just ask for a tiger whip!" Li Neng's eyes lit up, and when he saw that the county official was easy to speak, he hurriedly said loudly.

The official burst into laughter, and the county official was speechless, so he could only promise him.

The county official reprimanded and supervised, and the old woman of the Tan family was also persuaded to go home.

Li Neng went home with a hook, and his courage was fat. When he returned home, the tigress at home was about to have a seizure, but he beat him instead. When the butcher girl saw the tiger hunting, she exclaimed, 'You don't want to die'.

"Lao Tzu risked his life to fight the tiger, you tigress dare to attack, I will kill you first tonight!"

Li Neng is not afraid of death, but the girl of the Tu family is afraid of being killed in her dreams, but she is afraid of him, and she honestly cooks and washes for him.

When he woke up the next day, Li Neng was very annoyed, but seeing the tigress at home obeying, he felt that it was worth it.

Under the contradiction between the left and right, Li Neng could only comfort himself: "This is the trick of the county official to deal with the old woman and coax her away." ”
