Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Self-inflicted crimes cannot live (second update)

Seeing that the head of the Xu family was willing to take the money to settle the matter, Xu Dalang's uncle secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but on the face he said fiercely, "My sister can't be abused in vain, don't even think about ending this matter without five taels of silver."

"Five taels of silver? Why don't you go grab it?" The head of the Xu family stared wide-eyed and said, this Zhu family is really a lion, don't you think that an old woman in the Zhu family is worth five taels of silver?

"Yes, if you don't have five taels of silver, you can't talk about it." Xu Dalang's uncle replied very forcefully.

He bet that the old man of Xu's family would not give up his reputation in the family, and he would not give up Dalang's real estate.

Although Xu Dalang almost ruined his family property, his sister was able to seize the title deed and house deed of the house, so Xu Dalang didn't sell the house for gambling.

Xu Dalang is doomed to have no heirs, and he doesn't know if he will follow in Zhu's footsteps and die unexpectedly. With just one Chang family, how can he keep this property?At that time, isn't this something in the Xu family's pocket?
Therefore, the old man of the Xu family would not drive Xu Dalang out of the clan, so he could only take money.

After deciding on the mentality of the head of the Xu family, Xu Dalang's uncle sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, not afraid that the other party would not take the bait.

Chang Xi didn't say a word, but pretended to be sad, as if she didn't have a problem with how the head of the Xu family decided.

She hoped that Xu Dalang's uncle could really sue him for being unfilial. According to the "Daewoo Law", Xu Dalang committed the crime of beating a close relative, which can be punished with capital punishment. It's a pity that this uncle's family only wants money, and it's useless to add fuel to the flames.

In the end, the head of the Xu family was no match for Xu Dalang's uncle, so he took five taels of silver to settle the matter.

Only then did Xu Dalang's uncle let go of Xu Dalang, bit the silver, and after making sure it was real, put it in his arms, and then yelled at his wife, "Don't you want to put a shroud on your sister?"

Seeing that her husband successfully got the money, this trip was not in vain. Regardless of the funeral, Xu Dalang's aunt happily went in to put Zhu's shroud on and prepare to be buried in the coffin.

Xu Dalang hung his head and huddled in the corner of the wall, he didn't dare to get close to third uncle or uncle, he finally understood that neither of them was good, and it would be dangerous to get close to either one.

Seeing this, Chang Xi cursed contemptuously while no one was paying attention, "It deserves it."

Due to the hot weather, Zhu's coffin will only be parked for one night, and the official burial will take place tomorrow.

As a daughter-in-law, Chang Xi has to wear sackcloth and filial piety. Although she responds, she still has to do a full set of acting, but she is still in a weak state, and the third uncle, the head of the Xu family, did not let her kneel down to guard the spirit of her mother-in-law , but let her continue to sit.

But Xu Dalang, his own son, was escorted to kneel on the temporary mourning hall.

Kneeling for a long time, Xu Dalang looked miserable, but the head of the Xu family who stayed behind to watch him saw that he wanted to get up secretly, so he hit him on the leg with a stick, and the pain made him grit his teeth and mouth. I didn't dare to make any small moves.

The spectators had dispersed long ago, and the Ou family wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but she didn't want to stay here all night, after all, the mourning hall was gloomy, and she felt scared.

But Chang Xi went to grab her, and said with a weak look, "Sister-in-law, you can stay with me, okay?"

How could she refuse this?

She still thought about going to Jiefu to find Chang Xi to fight the autumn wind in the future, so she swallowed the words of refusal on her lips, she could only bite the bullet and stay here with Chang Xi.

She was very preoccupied all night, taking advantage of Xu Dalang dozing off on his knees, and the others looked like they were about to wake up, she went up to burn paper money for Mrs. Zhu, clasped her hands together and said silently, "If you are wronged, find him!" To take revenge on the person who killed you, don’t come to me, I didn’t kill you, it has nothing to do with me, I’ll burn more paper money for you, you won’t be short of money when you get there..."

Just because he was afraid of something, a gust of wind blew in the mourning hall, and then Zhu's ghost seemed to float out of the curtain, "Qu, give me back my life—"

The wronged soul demanded his life, and Ou's feet were so frightened that he peed his pants in fear, and hurriedly waved his hands, "It's not me, it's not me, don't ask for my life, ask for the life of the person who killed you..."

"Master Ou, it wasn't you who spread the rumors, how did the thief kill me? It was you, the thief who killed me, and ordered to—"

Mrs. Ou saw that Mrs. Zhu's wronged soul was about to float towards her. She didn't dare to stand still, and hurriedly backed away. Step back step by step, "Don't come here, Mrs. Zhu, don't come here, I really didn't kill you, I just took the money you hid, I didn't kill your life—ah—"

Feeling Zhu Shi's ghost rushing towards her, she quickly reached out her hand to block it, and she was so frightened that she screamed and shook everything. At this time, she had shrunk into a ball and shivered, calling Zhu Shi to spare her life. if.

The people who stayed in the mourning hall had already woken up, they didn't expect Zhu's death to have the handwriting of this Ou's, and they were stunned.

Xu Dalang didn't know whether it was because of his conscience or because he was afraid that others would say that his son didn't do anything, so he got up in a hurry, ignoring the pain in his knees, and rushed up to grab Ou's collar and lifted her up, and said viciously, "It's you Stealing money from my house? Right or wrong?"

Ou just kept saying, "Yes, I took it, but I didn't kill him, I didn't kill him..."

When Xu Dalang thought of missing the 200 taels of silver, he was so distressed that he bled, dragging Ou Shi to report to the government.

"Yes, report to the officer and recover the silver."

Xu Dalang's uncles and aunts all agreed with this statement. They thought that after recovering the 200 taels of silver, at least they could get 100 taels of silver.

100 taels, what a lot of money, not to mention worry-free in this life, and worry-free in the next life, the husband and wife can tell what the other is thinking when they look at each other, and they are already happy at the moment.

Chang Xi, on the other hand, looked at Ou with a heartbroken expression, shook her head and sighed, and only said, "You can't live by doing your own crimes."

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Luo Mama coming in quietly, and nodded to her, then she closed her eyes slightly, as if she didn't see anything.

A group of people finally waited until dawn, and dragged Mrs. Ou to report to the officials.

Seeing that his mother-in-law didn't come back last night, Zhao Da had been worried for a long time. Early in the morning, he saw Mrs. Ou being dragged out by Xu Dalang and his tall uncle. Unexpectedly, Xu Dalang saw it at a glance, and immediately said to his uncle, "Uncle, this person is Zhao Da, Ou's husband, don't let him run away."

Xu Dalang's uncle heard the words, immediately let go of the Ou family, rushed up and grabbed Zhao Da who was trying to escape, "Where are you going? If you kill my sister, you will pay with your life."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I hurt your sister?" Zhao Da sternly said.

"Your mother-in-law has admitted it, but you still want to deny it?"

"What did she admit? You can catch her. What does it matter to me?"

Zhao Da refused to admit it.

Xu Dalang's uncle said he would arrest him and bring him to the government.

"Just go, who is afraid of whom? I am not afraid of the shadow slanting." Zhao Dazui insisted.

The neighbors who got up early at this moment saw this scene. They didn't expect such a wonderful scene in the mourning hall last night. They all lamented that it was a pity to miss it, and then spurned the Ou family for doing such a thing and indirectly killed Zhu family.

Thinking of recovering the 200 taels of silver, Xu Dalang's uncle and nephew escorted Zhao Da and the Ou family to meet the officials, followed by a group of troublemakers.

Chang Xi didn't follow the past to watch the fun, but still sat in the mourning hall. Anyway, everything was under control, and she didn't need to look to know the result.

Sure enough, in the courtroom, Ou's mind was a little deranged, and she admitted in nonsense that she stole money, but did not admit to murder. , let the Ou family bear it alone.

Afterwards, the Yamen went to Zhao's family to search, but they couldn't find the 200 taels of silver, but Zhao Da insisted that he didn't know about it, and he had never seen the money.

"This is the work of the Ou family alone, she is the only one who knows where the money is hidden, my lord, Caomin really doesn't know." He even complained in court, "Besides, this woman has committed seven crimes, and Caomin wants to divorce her wife. "

Upon hearing this, the Ou family was sober for a moment, and rolled her eyes, but when she saw the wink Zhao Da gave her, she fell silent again in an instant, and then her eyeballs became cloudy again, and she was completely unconscious.

In the end, she was convicted of theft and was sentenced to a heavy fine because of the large amount of money. However, Zhao Da escaped the penalty and was released to go home.

Xu Dalang's uncle and nephew couldn't help but be quite disappointed, after all, the 200 taels of silver really couldn't be retrieved, and seeing Ou's state, they couldn't find anything to ask, so they could only pester Zhao Dalang for the money.

Zhao Dafan was very annoyed, and said that he didn't know where the Ou family was hiding, and even opened the door of the house, "Come in and search, and if you find it, it will be yours. I really didn't know about that woman's behavior..."

"Well, you just shied away without knowing it? Zhao Da, return the money." Xu Dalang only has money in his eyes now, and he has long forgotten the days when he and Zhao Da called brothers and sisters in the past.

Zhao Da slumped at the door of the house straight away, "You search, and if you find it, it belongs to you."

Even if he is pointed at by the people around him, he is not afraid, and he cannot retreat now.

Xu Dalang's uncle and nephew had no choice but to go back to give Zhu's funeral first, cursing.

Along the way, the nephew and uncle had discussed that they must keep an eye on Zhao Da. Wouldn't he know that the Ou family stole money for no reason?It was the official who was confused and let him go.

Seeing the affectionate appearance of the uncle and nephew, Chang Xi couldn't help but sigh that the money is really attractive.

The third uncle, the head of the Xu family, also knew about the money stolen by the Au family, so he asked Xu Dalang about many details, and Xu Dalang answered them in detail.

The third uncle thought of the 200 taels of silver, and his heart became hot for a while, so he said in a deep voice, "This money must be recovered."

Xu Dalang also gritted his teeth and gave an affirmative answer.
