Chapter 210 Three Turns Against

Louzhi County, Jiangzhou Prefecture accompanied his wife and concubine to play mahjong until the third watch before returning to his room to sleep peacefully.Lou Zhixian gritted his teeth with hatred, and cursed: "Who is this? Who cares if he is blind, disturbing my lord's dream, whether it's reasonable or not, let's get twenty boards first."

The concubine serving Lou Zhi County wore a water-red bellyband and stretched out her arms to hook Lou Zhi County's waist, and said in a gruff voice: "Your Excellency, you have a lot of work to do every day, so you can sleep peacefully at night, and go to deal with the case!"

Before the little concubine could finish talking, the yamen servant on duty outside the door knocked gently on the door and said, "My lord, get up and go up to the hall. Then the historian of the Jiangzhou Prefecture has a certificate to present, and please take a look at it for trial."

"Which historian? Dare to disturb my sweet dreams, go and give me [-] boards first, if you don't beat him out of shit, it's a piece of paper to treat him as a master!"

The deacon yamen tremblingly said: "It's Shi Song's family from Jiangzhou Prefecture suing Bai's family, master..."

When Lou Zhixian heard that Shi Song's family was suing for a lawsuit, he jumped up from the bed in a hurry without even wearing his shoes, opened the door and shouted loudly: "You dog slave, hurry up and make tea and water for Mr. Shi. When the master changes his court clothes, he will immediately Promoted." The deacon outside the door was scolded for no reason, offered the tray in his hand, sang a song, and then retreated.

The little concubine lying on the bed didn't dare to be negligent when she saw that Lou Zhi County was on fire. She put on a long autumn jacket with her bare buttocks and got up and said, "Master, you are in a hurry. You have to trouble your lord for such a trivial matter as a lawsuit. so troublesome?"

"You know what a fart. The Shibai family in Jiangzhou Prefecture are not easy to mess with. They have business from Bianliang, Tokyo, to Liangjiang, Guangdong, and Guangxi. All officials in the court and the central government have a long-standing friendship with their two families. As long as their two families stay together Raise your hand, my black hat is coming to an end!"

The concubine saw that the tray in Lou Zhixian's hand was not only the paper documents, but also a stack of silver bills of thousands of taels of silver. "Hehe, master, that historian is a big deal! At least there are tens of thousands of taels of silver here, right?"

Lou Zhixian scolded: "Go, go, go! A woman with long hair and short-sightedness can't accept this silver. If it is a few thousand taels of silver, it is a filial piety of the historian, but tens of thousands of taels of silver is fatal! The master is not You are destined to take away the flowers, so why did the in-laws of the Shi and Bai families just form a relationship yesterday and become involved in the county government in just a few hours?" Lou Zhixian looked at the Shijia's pleadings while the concubine was wearing court clothes, and his brows were I can wring out the water...

"Hehe, Mr. Shi has been waiting for a long time. The next official, Lou Gutian, has met Mr. Shi, and I already know about the historian. I absolutely cannot accept this banknote. Lou has been an official in Jiangzhou for decades and dare not take the people's fat and anointing. .”

The three historians, father and son, and some relatives of the historian were told by Lou Gutian that Lou Zhixian, who was usually despised, was not bad as an official.Shi Song bowed and said: "My lord's integrity is really admirable. The Bai family bullied people too much and married the pregnant Bai Wanzhen to the dog. This matter is outraged by both people and gods. I also ask Lord Lou to do justice for the 17 people who were killed or injured by the Shi family."

Lou Zhixian thought for a moment and said: "Master Shi, if you listen to both, you will be bright and if you listen, you will be dark. Please stay in the lobby of this county government. Come, bring Bai Wanzhen and others to the lobby for me!" Two classes of yamen servants After receiving the order, he left the lobby. At dawn, he brought dozens of members of the Bai family to the county government office...

"Hey, where is the woman Bai Wanzhen? Now historians have sued you for not abiding by women's morality, having an affair with others, and even slandering Shi Wanpeng. But if there is such a thing, call me quickly!" Lou Gutian slapped the gavel and roared.

Bai Wanzhen cried and knelt down and said, "I'm wronged, a girl. How dare a little girl not keep women's morals when she was raised in a deep boudoir. It was Shi Wanpeng who broke into my boudoir in the middle of the night, and this shameful thing happened today!" Bai Jiahe The relatives of the two groups of historians were all blown up when they heard it, and no one was convinced, and they were blushing and wanted the other party to give an explanation...

Lou Gutian patted the gavel three times in succession before he suppressed the arguments between the two families.He said angrily: "I am asking the case. If you dare to argue with me again, I will punish you for disturbing the court first, and each of you will be punished with [-] boards." Shi Bai's family immediately dared not say anything more , Bai Wanzhen's weeping sound was left in the lobby.

Lou Zhixian took a sip of tea and said: "Shi Wanpeng, let me ask you, have you ever done something disgraceful. Just because Bai Wanzhen had a son in her womb, dozens of people were killed and injured in Shi Bai's family. You must be honest."

Shi Wanpeng sighed and said: "Lord Lou knows that Xiaosheng has never been to Bai's house and has an affair with Bai Wanzhen. Who is the son in her womb? The villain is really wronged!"

Lou Gutian smiled and said: "Bai Wanzhen, do you really recognize that person is Shi Wanpeng? Is there any witness in your room when he came?"

Bai Wanzhen blushed and said, "Minnv knows the etiquette and shame very well. If she didn't have a marriage covenant with Shi Wanpeng, she would never do such things with others even if she died. Shi Wanpeng started from the third watch on the Lantern Festival of Jiangzhou Prefecture in the twelfth lunar month last year. , almost every night to come to the women's boudoir. As for the witnesses who testify that the girl Shuangxi sleeps in the front room, she will be stunned by her fragrance."

Lou Zhixian slapped the gavel and said angrily: "Well, Shi Wanpeng, Miss Bai's family can remember it so clearly, so how can you explain it? If Miss Bai's family has an affair with someone, how can she leave a bad seed to tell you? ? Where were you on the day and night of the twelfth lunar month lantern festival? Can someone prove it?"

Shi Wanpeng was dumbfounded by Lou Zhixian's questioning. He thought that if Bai Wanzhen was pregnant with someone else's child, he would not dare to tell him.But he really did not do this, so Shi Wanpeng calmed down and said neither humble nor overbearing: "On the night of the Lantern Festival in Jiangzhou Mansion, the villain was indeed on a boat with Bai Wanzhen to enjoy the lanterns. But it was because both Shi Bai and his family were there Ah, the villain went back with his family when he went ashore. Where is the midnight interview with Miss Bai, the villain has already gone to bed!"

Bai Wanzhen knelt aside and cried: "My lord, he lied! He... was on that night..."

Lou Zhixian coughed a few times and interrupted Bai Wanzhen's words, got up and walked down the hall to salute Shi Song and Bai Ming: "Master Bai, Mr. Shi, now Miss Bai and Mr. Shi each insist that it's hard to tell whether it's true or false. It would be better to wait for Miss Bai to give birth to the youngest son and then confess blood. At that time, it will be clear at a glance whether it is the flesh and blood of the Shi family. I wonder if the two masters have any objections?"

Bai Ming was helped up by Cao Shi, and she had to rely on blood to identify the biological father of the child, which was a great insult to a young girl who hadn't left the court.But apart from using this method, Bai Ming couldn't think of a better way.Shi Song sneered and said: "Master Lu is really clever. I'm just afraid that someone will be guilty and dare not give birth to that child. If it is found out who is the real father of the child. I think the master of the Bai family will definitely refuse, right? On the ground in Jiangzhou, the Bai family can't afford such a big fall. Hahaha..."

"You...you are talking nonsense, okay, then I will let Wan'er give birth to that evil seed, and see who can't afford this big fall!" Bai Ming was forced by Shi Song to have no way out, and bit her Gritting his teeth, he agreed.

Lou Gutian said in a deep voice: "Since both the masters of the Shi Bai family think this method is feasible, then I don't need to say anything more. The two families will pay for the dead and injured by your own. This case will be handled by Miss Bai's family." The fetus was born in the womb. When the fruit is ripe, it will be known. If the two masters are dissatisfied with the punishment of Master Shi and Master Bai, feel free to bring it up."

Bai Ming said with a livid face: "Master Lou, you should put Shi Wanpeng in prison, and let him go unpunished for his evil deeds. It's unreasonable for him to go unpunished. When Wan'er gives birth to a young son and he runs away, where will my Bai family go to reason? "

Shi Song said angrily: "It's obvious that your girl doesn't obey women's morals, and you still want to accuse my family. When your lady gives birth to a child, my historian will definitely come to seek justice and clear Peng'er's innocence. !"

Lou Gutian waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't pinch the two lords in the courtroom. You don't want to see how many people are watching outside the yamen, this matter will only come to light in a few months. You all go back, Please appease the dead and wounded. If the matter gets bigger, I will not be able to take care of it. I think the two masters of Bianliang Dali Temple in Tokyo have heard of it. If it is not good, someone Lou will be Wusha No protection, but you will be punished with the power of killing whether you have reason or not!" Lou Gutian's words made Shi Bai's family speechless, and a secret grievance began to germinate...

Shi Bai's family stared at each other and left the county government office. Lou Gutian heaved a sigh of relief and went back to the back hall.When Lou Gutian's wife met, she complained that he shouldn't have sent back the money she got. Lou Gutian wiped his face and said with a smile: "What do you all know? There are many doubts in the lobby today. You can ask the doctor to prescribe medicine to remove it. If the Shi family son broke into the private meeting between the Bai family and Bai Wanzhen one night, he wouldn't have caused so many deaths and injuries!"

The concubine was puzzled and asked: "Master, is that the affair of Mr. Shijia?"

"Idiots, please show me all of you. The Shibai and Shibai families in Jiangzhou Prefecture are going to fight openly and secretly, and a big storm is coming..."

Sure enough, as Lou Gutian expected, all the stores in Jiangzhou Mansion who purchase goods from Shi Bai and Shi Bai must choose one of them, otherwise the two will not supply the goods.The restaurants and inns under Shi Bai's two businesses were on fire overnight. They used to sell for ten taels, but now as long as the other party changes the price, it will immediately drop even lower.The common people know that the two companies are fighting for breath, and everyone wants to see which one can't hold on first without buying anything.But the people of Jiangzhou Mansion were wrong, the Shi Bai family would not care about such petty profits.Both families are waiting for the fetus in Bai Wanzhen's womb, and they want to put each other to death through the fetus...

The days passed day by day like this, and the most difficult thing was Bai Wanzhen.The belly gradually swelled, and Bai Ming and the two sisters already had obvious disgusted expressions.The big girl doesn't even admit to a child's father. Who can tell the grievances of Bai Wanzhen who is often alone in the room crying...

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Bai Wanzhen was about to give birth.Bai Wanzhen, who had been ridiculed by cold eyes, also knew that only the child in her belly could prove her innocence. She thought several times that she died and forced herself to live because of this reason. Those who tell everyone that they do evil just refuse to admit it. Shi Wanpeng.But something unexpected for Bai Wanzhen finally happened...
