Jinpingmei

Chapter 92
The poem said: Feng Qiwei, a fierce tiger, is often bound in a hurry.Thunder Roar roared violently, and the branches were already on their feet.

Suddenly look at the place where the skin sleeps, and there is no glimmer of sunshine.People have more than this, try to persuade the original evil.

It is said that Li Yanei beat the jade hairpin, and immediately asked Mother Tao to get it out. She sold it for eight liang of silver, and bought another maid, who called Mantanger to go to the stove.

But Chen Jingji said that since the eldest sister Ximen came home, she had handed over a lot of dowry for bed curtains, and the cage guy, who made a noise every three days and made a fuss every five days, asked his mother, Mrs. Zhang, for capital to do business.His uncle, Zhang Tuanlian, came to ask his mother to borrow 50 taels of silver to resume his management.Getting drunk by him, he yelled at Uncle Zhang's door.Uncle Zhang couldn't bear it, so he borrowed money from other places, became a manager, and returned the money.His mother, Mrs. Zhang, suffered from severe gas and was ill. She was bedridden day by day, took medicine all day long, and asked a doctor for treatment.He couldn't beat him back, so he had to exchange 300 taels of silver with him, and asked Chen Ding to open two houses at the front of the house to open a cloth shop and do business.Jingji made friends with Lu Sanlang and Yang Dalang every day, played the pipa in the shop, wiped dominoes, played Shuanglu, and had a midnight drink to see if he could save his capital.Chen Ding told Zhang that he spends on drinking every day.Mrs. Zhang believed Chen Ding's words, so she refused to entrust him.Jingji said that Chen Ding went to dye the cloth, took the money, and drove Chen Ding and his wife out to live outside, but took Yang Dalang as his buddy.This Yang Dalang's name is Yang Guangyan, and his nickname is Tiejiao.What he said to others is like chasing after the wind, defrauding people and money, like searching for something.This Jingji Wenniang had to pay another 200 taels of silver to add it, and a total of 500 taels of silver was collected, and he believed him and went to Linqing to sell cloth.

Yang Dalang went home to pack his luggage, followed Jingji to get up from the house, and went to Linqing Matou to find what was missing.When you arrive in Linqing, the Linqing gate is a bustling and bustling place where merchants come and go, and where vehicles converge. There are 32 flower and willow lanes and 72 orchestra buildings.This Jingji is a young man after all, he is led by Yang Dalang to visit prostitution houses and hotels, and there are not many goods sold.Because I was walking in a brothel, I met a fan, named Feng Jinbao, who was romantic and pretty, with both sex and art.Asked how much youth is, the bustard said: "Sister is my own daughter, but he earns money to support himself. This year, youth only pays [-]."

When Jing Ji saw it, his mind was overwhelmed, and he gave five taels of silver and house money to the bustard, and stayed with him for several nights.Seeing that he loves this fan, Yang Dalang lingers on and says that he wants to marry him.The bustard asked for 120 taels of silver, and when he talked about 100 taels, he exchanged the silver and got married.Carried in sedan chairs along the way, both Yang Dalang and Jingji rode horses, escorting the cargo carts, walking with whips and horses all the way, so happy.Exactly: Passionate Swallow House, Ma Daokong looks back.Carried Wuling spring, accompanied by friends of Luanhuang.

Seeing that Jingji's goods were not sold much, Mrs. Zhang spent all her money on marrying a singer, and took a deep breath again. Alas, she passed away and died.This Jingji couldn't help but buy a coffin for the funeral, recite scriptures for seven days, park it for seven days, send it out, and bury it together in the ancestral tomb.His uncle Zhang Tuanlian looked at his mother's face and was not as knowledgeable as he was.When Jingji's tomb was overlaid and returned, there were three main rooms for his mother, and the middle room was used to support the spirit. The other two rooms were cleaned up and lived with Feng Jinbao, and the eldest sister lived in the side room.He also bought a maid named Chong Xi'er to serve Feng Jinbao.Yang Dalang opened a shop in front of the door, and the family bought and sang a lot of wine and meat.I only sleep with singing every day, leaving my eldest sister alone to catch her.

One day, I found out that Meng Yulou married Li Yanei, the son of Lizhi County, and brought many things with him.At the end of three years, Li Zhixian was promoted to a general judge in Yanzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, and the leader got up and went to his post by water.Because Chen Jingji remembered that he picked up the hairpin of Meng Yulou in the garden in the past, he wanted to use this hairpin as a witness to catch up with Yanzhou.It is only said that Yulou had an adulterous relationship with him first, and with his hairpin, he brought a lot of things that didn't match. When he married Li Yanei, they were all the gold and silver boxes and cages that Yang Jian left in the past, which should not be official. "Then Li Tong sentenced a civil servant, how much soup! Hearing this harsh voice, I'm not afraid to ask his son to give me his wife with both hands. I married the future family at that time, and I will be a couple with Feng Jinbao. It will be very useful."

It is exactly: the plan is to catch the moon rabbit in the middle of the month, and the plan is to catch the golden crow in the whole day.It's good if Jingji doesn't come, but this time, it's exactly: when people miss the dawn, they meet Wudao, and Ming Ling, a hungry ghost, bumps into Zhong Kui.There are poems to prove it: rushing to Yanzhou to visit jade people, people's hearts are hard to think about.Once Hou Men was as deep as the sea, Xiao Lang fell into a pit from then on.

One day, Chen Jingji sorted out his mother's box and found 1000 taels of gold and silver. He left 100 taels of gold and silver to spend with Feng Jinbao's family.He and Yang Dalang brought his family, Chen An, with 900 taels of silver, set off from the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, went to Huzhou to sell half a boat of silk and silk, and came to Qingjiangpu Matou, moored the boat, and threw it in a shop. The owner, Chen Er, is in the shop.Give Chen Er to kill the chicken to get wine, and drink with Yang Dalang.During the drinking, I said to Yang Dalang: "Man, you will take care of the goods on the ship for a while, and stay in Erlang's store for a few days. After Chen An and I get some personnel gifts, we will go to Yanzhou Mansion, Zhejiang Province, and see that my sister is married in the mansion. Last five days, at least three days."

Yang Dalang said: "Brother, I only care about going. Brother would rather wait in the store. Brother, when the day comes, we will get up together."

Chen Jingji and Chen An brought some silver and personnel gifts with them, and one day they took the route to Yanzhou Mansion.Enter the city, throw it in the temple and settle down.Inquire about Li Tong's sentence for one month, and the small boat has only arrived for three days.This Chen Jingji didn't dare to be negligent, he bought four plates of gifts and four silk ruler heads, and Chen An kept them.So he chose neat clothes and hats, bright eyebrows, went to the front of the government office, bowed to the doorman and said, "Please report that I am the relative of the newly married wife in Tongpan's father's office, and the second uncle Meng is here to visit."

After hearing this, the gatekeeper didn't dare to neglect, and immediately reported it.The yamen was reading in the study room, when he heard that it was a woman brother, he ordered the left and right to bring in the presents first, and while he was busy adjusting his clothes, he said, "Please."

Invite Chen Jingji into the government office to give a ceremony, sit down as guests and hosts, and say: "When we were married the day before yesterday, why didn't you know the second uncle?"

Jingji said: "Because I sell goods in Sichuan and Guangxi, I don't come back until one year. I don't know that my sister is married to the family, and I have lost closeness. Today, I would like to prepare a small gift and come to see my sister."

Li Yanei said: "I never know, I'm rude, forgive me, forgive me."

After a while, the tea soup was finished, and the yamen ordered the left and right: "Take the gift stickers and presents in, and tell your mother, the second uncle is here."

Meng Yulou was sitting in the room, only to hear Xiaomenzi come in and report: "Second Uncle Meng is here."

Yulou said: "There is that uncle again, could it be that my second elder brother Meng Rui has come to visit me from all over the world?"

I saw that the companion brought in gifts and stickers, which said: "Meng Rui, a family member", so he knew it was his brother, and said, "Please."

Ling Lanxiang cleaned up the back hall.

Yulou is decorated and dressed up, waiting to see you.I saw that Ya Nei let him come straight, and Yulou watched from inside the curtain, but suddenly it was not his brother, but Chen's brother-in-law. "What is he here for? When I go out, what will he say? As the saying goes, if you are close or not, you are from your hometown; if you are beautiful or not, you are from the water in your hometown. Although it is not my brother, it is also my son-in-law's family."

Come out with full makeup. See you.Na Jingji said: "I never knew my sister was married here, I never saw it..."

Just said this, I don't want the door to invite the inside of the yamen, but there are guests from outside.The yamen paid Yulou to entertain the second uncle, and then went out to entertain guests.Seeing Jingji kowtow, Yulou hastily returned the salute, saying: "Brother-in-law, excuse me, that gust of wind brought you here?"

After finishing the etiquette, sit up and ask Lan Xiang to come out to watch the tea.After having tea, and chatting with each other, Yu Louyin asked, "How is Eldest Sister?"

Jingji told Yulou about coming out of the former Ximenqing's house and begging for a box and cage.Yulou also told him about going to the grave on Qingming Festival, meeting Chunmei at Yongfu Temple, and burning paper on the Jinlian grave.He also said: "I was at home at that time, and I often advised your aunt to love her son-in-law when she loved her daughter. She loved her brother-in-law and never supported outsiders. He listened to the villain's words and sent her brother-in-law out. I didn't know when my brother-in-law asked for the box. .”

Jingji said: "To tell you the truth, old man, who doesn't know that I have made friends with the sixth sister? He listened to the words of the slaves and sent him out, so he was killed by Wu Song. If he was at home, then Wu Song would have seven heads and eight heads. How dare you come to your house to kill him? My hatred is as deep as the sea. The sixth sister died in the underworld, and he will not be spared."

Yulou said: "It doesn't matter if you are brother-in-law, if you let go of your hands, the enmity since ancient times can only be resolved, not ended."

During the conversation, the servant girl put down the table, put down the wine, and the cups and dishes were piled up on the platform.Yulou poured a glass of wine, handed it to Jing Ji with both hands and said, "Brother-in-law has traveled a long way, and there is nothing to spend. Please have a glass of water and wine."

This Jingji took it with his hands, sang here, and poured a cup back to the woman. He sat down and sat down. When he saw the woman calling him "brother-in-law is long, brother-in-law is short", he didn't say a word, but said in his heart: "this obscene Why didn't the woman admit to committing the crime, and only called me brother-in-law? Wait for me to visit him slowly."

At present, after drinking for three rounds, eating five dishes, and no one is in front of you, let me throw a few evil words in, and say: "My brother misses my sister like thirsty, and likes cold. I think back when I was in my husband's house, how can I go to bed?" The two are playing chess and cards in one place, sitting together, like a back cover. Who wants to be separated today, you go east and you go west."

Yulou smiled and said, "Brother-in-law is easy to talk about. Since ancient times, the Qing is clear and the muddy is muddy. It will become clear after a long time."

With a smile, Jingji took out a pack of fragrant tea for two people from his sleeve, handed it to the woman, and said, "Sister, if you have feelings, sorry to see brother, eat this fragrant tea from me."

As he spoke, he quickly knelt down.The woman immediately blushed from her ears, her face turned red, and she threw the fragrant tea bag on the ground with one hand, and said, "I don't know people's respect! I'm so kind to give you wine to eat, so I got up to tease me."

So he left the banquet and went to the room.Seeing that he ignored him, Jingji picked up the fragrant tea and said, "I came to see you with good intentions, but you have changed your mind. You dare to say that you are married to Tongpan's son, a good man, so you don't want me anymore. You When you were the third concubine in Ximen Qing's family, didn't you have a relationship with me?"

Yin took out the old gold-headed silver hairpin from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and said, "Who does this belong to? Since you have no affair with me, why did this hairpin fall into my hands? There is also engraved jade tower on it." The name. You and the eldest wife have colluded, and the eight boxes of gold, silver, soft, jade belts and precious stones left in my house are all things that Yang Jian sent in the court. They are all things that should not be official, and they are all brought to marry a man. Ba Zi Ba (Jin Xia) will answer you!"

When Yulou saw him speak, the hairpin he was holding was the gold-headed lotus-petal hairpin he wore on his head: "I didn't see it in the garden in the past, why did it fall into the hands of Short Life?"

I'm afraid that the shouting family members will know it, and they will change into smiling faces in a moment, and they will come out, hold Jingji by the hand, and say, "It's so annoying, you are playing tricks, so you will get annoyed."

Seeing no one on the left and right, he whispered: "You have a heart, and the slave also has a heart."

The two couldn't help but kissed while hugging each other.This Chen Jingji licked his tongue like a snake spit out a letter, and smacked it in his mouth, saying: "You only have my heart if you call me your husband."

The woman said: "Shut up, lest someone hear you."

Jingji whispered to him, "I've finished half of the cargo now, and I'm waiting in Qingjiangpu. If you're willing to go down and look after it, you'll pretend to be the doorman, sneak out in the evening, and go to the boathouse with me. Husband and wife, why not? As a civil servant, he is afraid of right and wrong, so why not dare to come and arrest you?"

The woman said: "In that case, it's fine."

The appointment: "You wait behind the wall of the mansion tonight. I have a bag of gold and silver, which is soft and soft. I tied it to the wall and picked it up with you. Then I will pretend to be a door and come out through the door. Go to the boat with you. "

The judge heard that it is the beauty who intends it, even if the pink wall is as high as the wall; the pink is ruthless, and they are still separated by thousands of mountains.At that time, if Meng Yulou married a stupid person, it would be better for Jing Ji, who would be the one to beat him; now, marrying Li Ya Nei, he has a bright future, and he is a romantic, young man, full of kindness, and he seduces you again. what to doHugh said that there is no joint hands on weekdays.This gentleman is also unlucky, so he tells the truth, vents his chances with him, and cheats his wife to make money.It is exactly: there are still thorns hidden under the branches and leaves of flowers, and it is difficult to protect people's hearts from poison.

Immediately, the two chatted, and Jingji had a few glasses of wine, said goodbye and went back.Li Yanei hurriedly sent out of the house, and Chen An followed.The yamen then asked the woman, "Where does your brother live? I'll go back to pay homage to him tomorrow and send him some money."

The woman said, "There is my brother. He is the son-in-law of Ximen Qing's family. He has come to hook me up and kidnap me. The slave has made an appointment with him, and we will meet at the back wall at three o'clock tonight. Why don't we just use the trick and take him out?" When a thief takes it, how can we get rid of the troubles after it?"

The yamen said: "This guy has no reason. He has been non-toxic and not a husband since ancient times. I didn't go to find him, he came to die."

As he walked out, he called his left and right companions, and his confidants were quick hands, so he was ready to go.

This Chen Jingji didn't know how to change his mind, and in the middle of the night, he led his family, Chen An, to the back wall of the government office. He coughed as a pretext, and only listened to the sound of the jade building inside the wall. silver.It turned out that Kunet took the 200 taels of stolen silver.This Jing Ji just needs to be taught, Chen An took it away, suddenly heard a sound of clappers, and four or five men flashed out of the black shadows, shouting: "There are thieves!"

Immediately tied Jingji and Chen An, reported to Li Tong for judgment, and paid: "Send them all to prison, and ask them tomorrow."

It turns out that the surname of the magistrate of the main hall of Yanzhou Prefecture is Xu, and his first name is Xu Wei. He is a surname from Lintao Prefecture, Shaanxi Province.The next morning, when he was promoted to the hall, there were two rows of officials on the left and right. Li Tong went up and painted the public seat. : Chen Jingji, Chen An, opened the lock and key of the warehouse door with shovels, stole 200 taels of stolen silver, crossed the wall, and were caught, come to see the master."

Prefect Xu ordered: "Bring it up!"

Drive Chen Jingji and Chen Ancai to the hall and kneel down.Seeing that Jingji was young and handsome, the magistrate asked, "Where is this fellow from? Why did you come to my government office and become a thief at night, stealing money from the official treasury? What's the reason?"

Then Chen Jingji only kowtowed to express his grievance.Xu Zhifu said: "How can you complain about being a thief?"

Li Tongjuan leaned beside him and said: "You don't need to ask him, the old man, since you can prove the stolen goods, why don't you go back to punishment."

Xu Zhifu immediately ordered the left and right: "Take it down and play twenty boards."

Li Tong judged: "People are bitter insects, if you don't fight, you can't succeed. Otherwise, this thief will turn around."

At present, Zaoli on both sides drags Jingji and Chen An, and Daban beats them down.This Chen Jingji only scolded: "Who knows that the prostitute Meng San'er traps me so far, what a shame! What a pain!"

This Xu Zhifu is finally an official from Huangtang. Hearing this sound, there must be a reason, so he hit the ten boards and ordered: "Shut up, and put him in prison, and ask again tomorrow."

Li Tong judged: "The old man shouldn't send him off. As the saying goes, 'People's hearts are like iron, and officials' laws are like furnaces'. If he doesn't worry about it all night, he will translate different words."

Xu Zhifu said: "It's okay, I have my own ideas."

At present, the jailer escorts Jing Ji and Chen An to the prison.

The prefect Xu was a little suspicious, he called his confidantes to come closer, so he went to prison to find out the origin of Jingji's crime, even if he paid back.The officer pretended to be a prisoner, and slept with Jingji on the same (wooden box) at night, and asked him why: "I think my brother is young and young, and he is not a thief. He fell here today to fight the lawsuit."

Jing Ji then said: "It's hard to explain in one word. This villain is the son-in-law of Ximen Qing in Qinghe County. The newly married woman Meng Shi of Li Tongpan's son is my father-in-law's younger brother. She used to have an affair with me. Now I brought my master Yang Jian I left ten boxes of gold, silver, treasures and playthings at his house, and I came here to ask him for it, but he bullied me like this, and took me as a thief. It's so hard to beat me into a trick and never see the light of day! "

After hearing this, the man came back to the hall and reported to the magistrate Xu.The magistrate said: "how? I said that this person's voice is unjustly called Meng's family. There must be a reason."

When the hall was promoted the next day, the officials stood on both sides.The prefect of Xu brought Chen Jingji and Chen An up, took his oral statements, took Zhang Wushi's confession, and ordered them to be released.Li Tongpan didn't know it, and said again and again: "Old man, this guy is a thief, don't let him go."

Instead, the magistrate Xu tried his best to tell the second official Li Tong and sentenced him, saying: "I am an official in my government and work with the court. I should not avenge your family's official and frame ordinary people as thieves. Your son married He took his father-in-law, Ximen Qing's concubine, Meng Shi, and brought many things, including stolen goods from officials, gold and silver boxes. He is Ximen Qing's son-in-law, and he came to ask for the former things. How can you pretend to be a thief and convict him? I contribute to your family? As an official raising sons and daughters, you have to grow up, if so, how can it be fair?"

When the court heard Li Tong's verdict, his face was full of shame, and he was dejected and dared not speak.Chen Jingji and Chen An were released.After a long time, the prefect Xu withdrew from the hall.

Li Tong sentenced to return to the house, feeling very anxious.Then he yelled at his wife: "You are so unworthy. Today, the magistrate Xu is in front of all his colleagues and officials. He tried his best to reprimand me. You can kill me if you don't want to be angry!"

The madam panicked and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Tongpan immediately called his son to him and ordered him to walk around: "Bring a big board, and kill me in anger!"

Said: "You are a good thief. He is Ximenqing's son-in-law. Because this woman brought a lot of dowry, gold and silver boxes and cages, he kept claiming that Yang Jian, a traitor in the dynasty, sent things that should be dismissed. He came to ask you for them. Said that you stole the official silver from the treasury and took him as a thief. I didn't know a word, but the magistrate Xu told everyone about me. This is the first day I haven't been an official. You take care of me Yes. What use do I want you to be, an unworthy son?"

That is to say, the big boards like raindrops on the left and right will come down.The pitiful beating caused Li Ya's skin to be torn apart, and blood gushed out.Seeing that she was beaten badly, the lady cried and tried to persuade her.Meng Yulou stood at the corner door of the back hall, hiding his tears and listening.Thirty boards were hit at the moment, and Li Tong sentenced to pay the left and right: "Detain the yamen, and I will send the woman out of the house immediately, so that he can remarry at will, so as not to cause trouble, and I will be honored."

How could Li Ya be willing to divorce in his heart, he just cried and begged in front of his parents: "I would rather beat my son to death in front of my father than a woman who can't bear it."

Li Tong sentenced the yamen to lock him in the back hall with an iron cable pier, and if he would not be released, he would only be imprisoned to death.Madam cried: "Master, you have been an official for a long time, and you are more than fifty years old, and you only have this little blood. If you don't fight for this woman, you will imprison her to death. In the future, when you retire from office when you are old, who will you rely on?"

Li Tong judged: "Otherwise, if he is here, he will bring my popularity down."

The lady said: "You don't want him here, just send him and his wife back to their original home in Zhending Mansion."

Tong Sanyi listened to his wife's words and let him go to the yamen. He got up within three days, packed his vehicles, and went back to Zaoqiang County with his wife to study books.

But Chen Jingji and Chen An left Yanzhou Mansion, went to the temple to pick up their luggage, and went to Qingjiangpu Chen Erdian to look for Yang Dalang.Chen Er said: "Three days ago, he said that you had a letter to say that you couldn't come. He packed up the cargo ship, got up and went home."

Jingji didn't believe it, so he went down the river to look for a boat, but was in vain.Said: "Today, why did you get up and go without waiting for me!"

When Kuang Xin came out of the prison, he had no more money around him, so he and Chen An inevitably boarded the boat, pawned their clothes, begged for food and went home, hurried like a bereaved dog, like a fish slipping through the net, and followed him to look for Yang Dalang, but there was no trace. .At that time, it was autumn evening, the trees were withered, and the golden wind was shaking, it was very desolate.There are eight sentences in the poem, and it is said that this autumn is the most bitter for pedestrians: the lotus is withered, and the leaves and leaves are falling.Crows sing in the rotten grass, geese fall to the flat sandy ground.

The drizzle wets the green forest, and the weather is severe and frosty.If you don't see passers-by, how can you feel the taste of autumn.

Jingji came home one day.Chen Ding was at the door, and when he saw Jingji coming home, dressed in ragged clothes and with a dark face, he was taken aback.Received home, asked where the cargo ship.Jingji was so angry that he didn't say anything for a long time, and said about the lawsuit against Yanzhou Mansion: "Thanks to Zhengtang Xu Zhifu for letting me go, otherwise my life would be in danger. I was killed by Yang Dalang today, and I didn't know where my goods were abducted." .”

First let Chen Ding go to his house to inquire, but his family said that he had not come home yet.Jingji went to inquire again, but he was still there. He panicked and walked into the room.Then Feng Jinbao and Sister Ximen faced south and north again, and since Jingji went out, the two have joined forces until now.The eldest sister said: "Feng Jinbao took the silver and transferred it to his bustard. His babysitter came all day long, hiding behind his back, selling wine and buying meat, and eating in the house. If there is nothing at home, he will sleep until he sleeps." At noon, I don’t buy anything, I just boil us.”

Feng Jinbao said again: "My eldest sister has been moulding the grass all day long, and she doesn't move the vertical grass. She steals rice in exchange for sesame cakes. She also steals the boiled bacon in the room and eats it with the girl Yuan Xiaoer."

Chen Jingji believed this, and scolded the elder sister: "The thief is not only a prostitute, you are greedy, consumptive, and slanderous, stealing rice to exchange for sesame cakes, and ganging up with girls to steal meat."

He beat Yuan Xiao'er and kicked the eldest sister a few times.The eldest sister was in a hurry, and rushed Feng Jinbao'er to bump her head, cursing: "A prostitute who supports a man! The things you steal are worthless to a bustard, and you will learn to talk to a man, saying that I steal rice and meat, and commit crimes at night." Take the watchman and teach the man to kick me. I'll exchange it with you whore, what do you want to do with your life!"

This Jingji said: "Good whore, if you exchange it for him, you are not worth a few toes of his."

It was also due to something, so the first hand plucked the elder sister's hair, punched and kicked, and beat the elder sister with abductors. The nose and mouth were bleeding from the beating, and the elder sister woke up half a day later.Then Jingji went back to sing in the room and fell asleep.Let the eldest sister sob and sob in the room below, just crying.Yuan Xiao'er fell asleep outside.The poor elder sister hanged herself to death with a rope in the middle of the night. She died at the age of 24.

In the morning of the next day, when Yuanxiao got up, the room was closed.Shangfang Jingji and Feng Jinbao were still under the covers, so his girl Chong Xi'er came to ask the eldest sister to get a wooden basin to wash and sit on the feet, but she couldn't push it away.Jingji also scolded: "The thief whore, why are you still sleeping? We won't get up at night! I opened the door and went in, and plucked all the mane hair of the whore."

Chong Xi'er looked in through the window and said, "He's up, and he's playing on the swing in the room."

He also said, "He plays with puppets."

I saw Yuan Xiao staring at it for a long time, and shouted: "Father, it's not good, my mother hanged on the top of the bed and died."

The little man panicked, and he got up with the singing, stomped open the door, moved forward to untie it, and poured it for half a day, so he got his breath.I don't know how long it will be, and I will die.It's exactly: I don't know where the true nature is, and doubts lie in the clouds and autumn waters.

When Chen Ding heard that his eldest sister had died, he was afraid of getting involved, so he went to report to Yueniang first.Yueniang heard that the eldest sister had hanged to death, and Jingji married and sang at home. The ice was three feet thick, and it was not a day's cold. She led her family, servants, maids and daughter-in-law to his house.Seeing the eldest sister's dead body hanging upright, she cried out, grabbed Jingji, grabbed her and beat her, and she didn't count her eyes.Feng Jinbao, who sang, hid under the bed, picked it out, and beat him to death.The doors, windows, and walls were smashed to pieces, and the beds, curtains, and dowry in the room were still removed.Please bring Uncle Wu and Uncle Wu to discuss when you return home.The uncle said: "Sister, you can take advantage of our family's death and not be an official, and tomorrow he will have a hard time, and come to ask for a cage. People have no long-term concerns, and there must be near-term worries. It's better to disconnect at the official office. Avoid future troubles."

Yueniang said: "Brother, I see it."

One side wrote the petition.

The next day, Yueniang came out of office in person, came to the county's official office, and handed in the certificate.It turned out that the new county magistrate's surname was Huo, and his first name was Dali. He was born in Huanggang County, Huguang.Hearing that it is a matter of human life, he was promoted to the hall to accept the case.Upon seeing the petition, it was written: The plaintiff, Mrs. Wu, was 34 years old and was the wife of the late Qianhu Ximenqing.Sue for the evil son-in-law bullying the widow, listening to the whore, beating the girl to death, begging for mercy and treating the widow, so as to save her life.There is a son-in-law, Chen Jingji, who was sent to the family by officials and lived in hiding for several years.On weekdays, he eats alcohol and commits crimes.Fear of the law drove him out of the house.Unexpectedly, Jingji held a grudge, and the general's daughter Ximen was often beaten at home, and she always forbeared.Unexpectedly, Yi married Feng Jinbao, a prostitute from Linqing, who came to her home and seized her daughter's main house to live in. He listened to the instigation, tortured her in every possible way, plucked her hair, and kicked her all over her body. She couldn't bear it until she was about to die. At three o'clock on August [-], [-], the girl was hanged to death.It is unreasonable to think about respecting the aid, being fierce and stubborn, deceiving the widows and widows, and claiming to kill with a knife.The begging line was arrested and brought to the case, and the root cause of the girl's death was strictly investigated, and the law was as good as the law.The vicious and stubborn know the police, the good can live in peace, and the dead are not wronged.For this reason, he filed a complaint against the Lord Qingtian of this county for execution.

This Huozhi County looked at the certificate in the public seat, and saw that Wu Yueniang was dressed in plain, with a filial skirt around her waist, and was the wife of a fifth-rank official. She had a dignified appearance and an elegant appearance.Leaning up, he said: "Wu, get up. According to my opinion, you are also a lady of the imperial court. I understand that this makes sense. Please go back. From now on, just let the whole family serve here. I will play the card." Go get him."

Then Wu Yueniang quickly thanked the county magistrate, came out to go home in a sedan chair, and appointed Fu to serve in Zhaoting.In a moment, the petition was approved, and two public servants were appointed, with a white card, to arrest Jingji, the prostitute Feng Jinbao, and two neighbors Baojia, and went to the official hearing.

This Jingji was in the midst of a funeral at home, and when he heard Yueniang sued, the county sent officials to deal cards to arrest him.Feng Jinbao was already in pain from the beating, and he was sleeping on the bed.Hearing that someone took him, I don't know if there is any ghost.Chen Jingji didn't send money high or low, so he sent his officials to eat, drink and eat, and even tied the singer to the county with a rope.To the left is Fan Gang, to the right is Sun Ji, and to Baojia Wang Kuan.When Huo Zhixian heard that someone had been brought, he was promoted to the hall immediately.Lai Zhao knelt at the top, and Chen Jingji, Feng Jinbao and his party knelt at the bottom of the steps.When the magistrate saw the certificate, he asked Jingji to go up and say, "You are disgusting! Why did you listen to the whore and beat Ximen to death before ordering him to hang himself? What's the point?"

Jingji kowtowed and said: "Wang begging Master Qingtian to check the situation, how dare you beat him to death. Because he was out with a buddy, he was trapped in capital. He came home angry and asked him for food. He never cooked. , Wei was kicked twice by the little one. He hanged himself in the middle of the night and died."

The magistrate shouted: "You married a prostitute, why did you ask him for food? It doesn't make sense. Wu's petition said that you killed his daughter and hanged yourself just now. You still don't admit it!"

Jingji said: "The Wu family has a grudge against the young one, so he framed the young one. I hope the master will find out."

The county magistrate was furious and said, "His daughter saw her dead, and why did he still refuse that?"

Order to take it down and hit twenty big boards.Mention Feng Jinbao to come up, give him a slap, and hit a hundred.Let the public take him down and put him in prison.The next day, Zang Buxiu, the official secretary, Baojia, neighbors, etc., went to Jingji's house, carried out the body, and inspected it on the spot.There are bruises all over his body, and there are also rope marks between his neck. He was severely injured by Jingji's kick and kicked before his death. He couldn't bear it, so he hanged himself to death.Take the confession and return it to the county.The county magistrate was furious and beat Jingji ten times again.It's ten boards when Jinbao takes off his clothes.Ask Chen Jingji's husband for beating his wife until the deceased was hanged. Feng Jinbao handed over a hundred and sent him back to the court as an errand.

Chen Jingji panicked, and wrote a post in the prison, telling Chen Ding that he collected 100 taels of silver from the cloth shop, including his eldest sister's head, and secretly sent it to the county magistrate.The county magistrate changed the registration papers overnight, and only asked him to force him to die.Wu Yueniang knelt down and begged again and again.The county magistrate called Yueniang up and said, "My lady, there are rope marks on your daughter's neck. How do you ask him about the law of beating and killing? Is human favor too biased? You are afraid that he will stalk you later, so I will take him here for you to put an end to it." The clerk, just make him stop coming to your door."

While bringing Chen Jingji to the front, he said: "I will spare you from death today, you must reform yourself, and you are not allowed to go to Wu's house to stalk you again. If you commit a crime against me again, you will definitely not forgive me. Even if you buy Ximen's coffin and send it to you Bury calls back and forth, I am here to apply for the document to the boss."

This Jingji was spared, paid the redemption money, returned home, carried the body into the coffin, parked it for seventeen, read scriptures for the funeral, and buried it outside the city.I sat in prison for half a month, spent a lot of money, and Feng Jinbao, who sang, also went. Everything in the house was cleaned up, and the house was mortgaged.It is exactly: misfortunes and fortunes have no door, and those who have no door invite themselves, but you must know that joy comes with sorrow.There are poems to prove it: When the storm rises on the ground, the wall will rise, and the righteousness and kindness will never be forgotten.There should be a meeting at the Shuiyi Blue Bridge, and Samsung has the right to participate in the business.
