Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"Where did you come from, little brat?"

Ma Quan asked.

Zhao Hulu: "Miss, madam, go back to the house quickly, I'm Zhao Hulu here! I don't want to risk my life, but I want to protect you well!"

Although Xiao Zhao is fast-talking and young, there is a kind of loyalty and blood that are unique to Cangzhou people in his bones.

Since Mr. Mei entrusted his wife and young lady to take care of him, he should take good care of them. Otherwise, even if the king of heaven came, he wouldn't want to touch them.

Hearing that it was Su Mu's daughter, the fierce light in Ma Quan's eyes became even brighter, automatically after Ben Su Mu burned his face last time, Ma Quan was disfigured, and he was lying on Chuang's bed until now. He hated Su Mu to the bone.

This time, he simply kicked his daughter to death to vent his anger.

Anyway, there were too many people, and Zhao Hulu resisted the police to arrest people, so he should report a mistaken injury when the time comes.

Just about to start, Mei Niang suddenly said: "I'll go!"

Now everyone was quiet, only the girl was still crying.

Zhao Hulu looked at Mei Niang in surprise: "Ma'am, don't worry, even if Zhao Hulu risked his life, he wouldn't let them take you away."

Mei Niang shook her head, "Anyway, one day I will go to the Yamen to clarify the matter, and I can't hide, and I can't hide."

She had already figured it out, she was placed in this courtyard by Su Mu during these days, it was like house arrest, and she couldn't escape at all.

Now that I have this opportunity today, I might as well go to the state government with them, meet the Lord Zhizhou, and report that the villain pretended to be my man, so as to give the thief justice and avenge his great revenge.

As soon as she said these words, as if to strengthen her confidence, Meiniang simply walked towards the gate of the yamen.

I was really ashamed in my heart: Mei Niang, Mei Niang, that big villain has revenge for killing your husband, you can't be soft-hearted, you can't be shaken!

Seeing Mei Niang approaching generously, Ma Quan grinned: "It's best for you to go by yourself, so that Grandpa won't get rough, let's go!"

"Mother, mother!"

"Ma'am!" Zhao Hulu hurriedly picked up his daughter and quickly chased after her.

Such a big incident happened in Tangtangmei's inspection yard, even the lady was arrested by the government, which naturally caused a commotion.

The inn was already a crowded place, all the residents ran out immediately and followed from a distance, discussing what happened to the Mei inspector, and even the state government wanted to go to war.

A large group of people walking out of the inn immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.

The life of the ancients was simple, and the daily entertainment activities were poor, and they liked watching the excitement most.There is a joke that goes like this, a man stood in the middle of the street and looked up at the sky, and the people next to him saw him holding his head up in a daze, and followed him to look up.Seeing that the two were so weird, the third and fourth joined the ranks looking up at the starry sky.

For a moment, the streets were full of philosophers who straightened their necks and thought about life, but they confused the first person who looked up at the sky, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

The people next to me said that if you look up at the sky, we will also look up at the sky.

"I have a nosebleed."

……

Because of this, the gossip of the ancients is unimaginable for future generations.

Mei Niang, Ma Quan and the others were walking on the street, and when they saw so many people, including the yamen servants showing off their might, they immediately alarmed half of Cangzhou City.

They all ran forward one after another and asked: "What's the matter, what's the matter, may I ask the official where are you going?"

A yamen servant replied with a smile: "Nonsense, of course the prisoner is sent to the state yamen..."

Before he finished speaking, someone shouted in front of him: "Come on, hurry up, Master Zhizhou and Tongzhi are waiting in the hall!"

As soon as they heard about it, even Zhizhou and Tongzhi were alarmed by this case, and the people who followed were terrified, pointing to Mei Niang who was surrounded by yamen servants and said: "It turns out that she is a female prisoner, but she doesn't know what she committed. What's the matter?"

"Ah, isn't this Mei Inspector's wife?" Someone who knew Mei Niang exclaimed.

"What, what, it's Mei's inspector's wife, why was she arrested and sent to the state government?"

"Nonsense, what can a woman's family do, it is estimated that the inspection department was caught by someone."

"What's the reason?" Some people even asked in puzzlement, and before they finished speaking, they were interrupted by a sneer.

"Where is the inspection department? There are several soldiers on hand. They have the power to interrogate any pedestrians, inspect vehicles, horses and ships. Every year, they have thousands of taels of water on hand, especially salt."

"Ah, so the inspector Mei has been involved in the salt smuggling case."

"It's very difficult to say."

"However, even if inspector Mei is involved in the illegal salt case, what will the government do to arrest his wife?"

"Idiot, the husband stole the money outside, so naturally he has to take it home and give it to his wife. I guess the state government passed on Mrs. Mei to find the whereabouts of the stolen money?"

"That's not right. When the brother-in-law of the Mei inspector got engaged that day, didn't he say that Mei inspector's father-in-law was an official from Yangzhou? His wife's surname is Wu. Naturally, the money obtained by Mei inspector should be handed over to Mrs. Wu. Why? Give it back to Mei Niang?"

"The devil knows."

The discussion became louder and louder, and as more and more people watched the excitement on the street, the team gradually became unable to move, causing Ma Quan to keep whipping forward with his whip: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Everyone's comments naturally fell into Mei Niang's ears exactly. She was originally a dutiful and honest wife and mother, but when she saw such a big battle, she suddenly panicked.

If I guessed correctly, it must be that villain who broke something outside and was arrested by the officials for questioning.

Mei Niang was certain in her heart that he had killed her husband and came to Cangzhou to become an official and make a fortune in his place.If the villain really committed a crime and was punished by the government, it would be an unhappy retribution from the cycle of heaven.It would be best to be beheaded by the government with a knife, so that it can be regarded as revenge for the dead husband.

But what if he didn't deserve to die?

Mei Niang's heart shuddered, she had already made up her mind: no matter what the villain committed today and how he was judged in the end, when I see Mr. Zhizhou later, I will make it clear that he pretended to be my man.My man's revenge must be avenged, but this revenge must be avenged by Mei Niang, so as to comfort the spirit of my late husband.

The city of Cangzhou is quite big, and the group of people walked for a long time before arriving at the state government office, almost crossing half of the city.

The news that Mei's inspector broke the matter spread throughout the state capital immediately, especially the fact that his wife was also arrested by the government, which made everyone very excited.

Most of the women these days don't go out of the door, and they don't have the chance to see their true faces on weekdays.

Half of the time, there are not many women on the street, and even if there are, they are just Obasan like the innkeeper's wife.

Citizens are curious about the family members of officials and wealthy families.Mei Fugui is also an official, but he doesn't know what the women in his family look like.

So, everyone straightened their necks and looked.

Seeing this, I couldn't help cheering in a low voice: "What a beautiful and juicy little daughter-in-law, this official girl is really different."

After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at the Cangzhou Yamen, and the unrelated people were naturally stopped outside the Yamen.

At this time, the number of people who followed had reached hundreds, and the entire state government gate was completely surrounded.

Ma Quan sneered at Mei Niang: "Mr. Mei Gong, go in, the two masters will be promoted soon, follow me."

Mei Niang didn't speak, just lowered her head and walked inside.

At this time, suddenly, a baby's cry came from behind: "Mother, mother, where are you going? I want Daddy, I want Daddy!"

Looking back, he saw Zhao Hulu squeezed to the front of the crowd with his daughter in his arms.

The girl was already crying with tears all over her face.

Mei Niang's heart was twisted suddenly, "Ninny is good, mother will come as soon as she goes, don't worry."

"I want Daddy, Daddy is an official, he can save mother!" Nannu was still crying, and even Zhao Hulu shed tears.

Mei Niang felt sad, even though she thought about it day and night these days, what she wanted was to go into the court like this, to report to the government that the villain killed her husband, and to ask the Elder Zhou to avenge her wrongdoing, but she really came here, in her heart Suddenly there is an indescribable sadness.

These days, although she is full of hatred for Su Mu, she can see that the villain really likes her daughter.There is nothing short of food and clothing. If you hold it in your hand, you will be afraid of getting cold, and if you hold it in your mouth, you will be afraid of melting.Not only did he ask Zhao Hulu to serve her, but he also spared time every day to teach her how to read and write.

As far as Mei Niang knew, even the lady from a wealthy family with thousands of hectares of fertile land in Zhending's hometown was nothing more than that.

And through this period of contact, Nannan also accepted this father from her heart.If she later finds out in court that the villain is not her father, but killed her father and enemy, she doesn't know what kind of blow she will receive.

Feeling sore, Meiniang gritted her teeth and went into the courtroom, standing there waiting silently.

There was no one in the courtroom, and there were two rows of vicious government servants. Zhizhou, Tongzhi, and the big villain hadn't come yet.

"Mr. Mei Gong, kneel down!" Ma Quan shouted viciously.

Meiniang panicked, she knelt down on the ground, lowered her head and waited.

Ma Quan: "Just wait here, I'll invite Zhizhou and Tongzhi to come over."

After finishing speaking, he left Mei Niang and quickly went to the Tongzhi hall in the Houya. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Yang Zilie and Yang Tongzhi holding a copy of "Historical Records" and reading it fascinated.

"My lord, Mei Fugui's wife has been brought here, is he promoted?" Ma Quan asked cautiously.

Yang Zilie put down the book in his hand: "Is Mei rich?"

Ma Quan smiled and said, "Here we are, waiting in the garden of the Hou Ya."

Yang Tongzhi: "Is there any trouble when you detain him?"

Ma Quan: "I didn't encounter any trouble, so the villain sent a yamen servant in the name of the old man to invite him, saying that the old man had official business to discuss with him, and the inspection department should belong to the state government official. Would he dare to come? "

Yang Tongzhi smiled slightly: "You are clever."

Ma Quan sneered: "As long as the surname Mei enters the Dezhou government this time, it will be difficult to fly."
