peasant girl wedding

Chapter 106
Outside the courtroom, the old man Tong and the old man shot Tong Zhixin angrily at the same time.

If eyes could kill people invisible, Tong Zhixin would be wiped out at this moment.

"My lord, theft is a serious crime. Housewives and husbands-in-law will never do something that violates the law. Please be aware of it." Lin cried.

The magistrate looked at Tong Zhixin and Tong Zhi'er.

"My lord, there is no evidence to speak out. I have witnesses and evidence, and my lord will know it after seeing it." Tong Zhi'er said loudly.

She is a little girl, she has no stage fright in the courtroom, and she speaks very clearly with reason and evidence, so that the magistrate can't help but look at her a few more times.

"Where is the evidence?"

Tong Zhi'er turned his head to look outside the hall, after a while, Qin An sent the four glazed windows sold by Tong Zhiming to the court.

"Look, my lord, this glazed window is the evidence."

Lin was taken aback, she didn't expect that physical evidence would be found so soon, but there are glass windows everywhere, and Tong Zhi'er can't prove that they belong to her family.

Lin thought so in her heart, and said so in her mouth.

Tong Zhi'er smiled slightly, and said to the county magistrate in the court: "My lord, I bought the glazed window in my house from the shopkeeper Qin in a restaurant. My lord asked the shopkeeper Qin to come up, and it will be clear after asking."

Lin snorted coldly, but she didn't panic in her heart.

Qin An entered the hall from outside the hall, bowed his hands to the magistrate, but did not kneel on the ground.

The magistrate frowned, and was about to get angry, but was stopped by the master.

Tong Zhi'er looked at the two of them and muttered, the magistrate's face seemed to be shocked, and she looked at Qin An with a confused expression.

Qin An didn't kneel when he saw the official. It seemed that his identity was not as simple as a shopkeeper of a restaurant.

"How do you prove that this is the glazed window in Tong Zhixin's house?" the magistrate asked.

Qin An took out a receipt from his pocket, "My lord, the glazed window I sold to Tong Zhixin's family was bought from the Liulizhuang in Jingdezhen. Everyone knows that Jingdezhen's Liulizhuang is the largest in the world. Liuli is different from other families, and my lord will let the boss who makes Liuli in the county come over and take a look."

The magistrate looked at the master.

The master stepped aside and ordered two officials to go to the nearby Liuli shop to find someone to come over.

"My lord, these four pieces of colored glaze are all from the colored glaze village in Jingdezhen."

The people who were invited by the officials to appraise the texture of colored glaze were very excited.

The magistrate nodded and motioned for this person to go down.

Qin An smiled slightly, and said, "My lord, the colored glaze shops in our county and surrounding areas all sell homemade colored glaze, but none from Jingdezhen Liulizhuang."

The colored glaze of Jingdezhen Liulizhuang is usually sold to high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, but ordinary shops cannot afford it.

The meaning of what he said, of course the magistrate understands.

Immediately, the gavel slapped, Tongling stared at Lin who was kneeling on the ground, "Lin, what else do you have to say?"

"My lord, even if this is the glazed window of Tong Zhixin's house, it does not prove that it was stolen by the woman and her husband."

"My lord, I still have witnesses." As soon as Lin finished speaking, Tong Zhi'er continued.

The shop owner who accepted Tong Zhiming's glazed window walked to the hall.

Seeing him, Tong Zhiming's eyes were about to pop out, and his body trembled like chaff.

"My lord, this man came to the villain's shop with four glazed windows this morning. The villain asked him where the glazed windows came from. He said they were leftovers from building a house at home, so the villain took them. Yes, I gave this person 50 taels of silver." The owner of Liulipu pointed at Tong Zhiming and opened his mouth.

Things are very clear here.

"Tong Zhiming, can you plead guilty?"

The magistrate has a serious face.

Tong Zhiming knelt on the ground and said in panic, "Young one pleads guilty, young one pleads guilty."

"You, you are so confused, how could you do such a thing..." Fearing that she would also go to jail, Lin grabbed Tong Zhiming's arm and beat and cursed.

Tong Zhiming was frightened by the majesty of the county magistrate, and did not argue with Lin.

His behavior is considered to have acquiesced to Lin's statement.

The magistrate soon had a verdict.

"Tong Zhiming, I limit you to return 50 taels of silver to Liulipu within three days. In addition, you stole the Liuli window from Tong Zhixin's house. I will detain you for three months as a warning to others."

.........

"Fourth, what do you mean?"

Outside the magistrate's yamen, the old man Tong and the old lady blocked Tong Zhixin and Tong Zhi'er and questioned them aggressively.

Tong Zhixin lowered his head and didn't speak. He didn't expect that the person who stole the glazed window would really be his brother. He felt uncomfortable sending his brother to prison with his own hands.

"Grandma, grandma, uncle committed a crime, and the county magistrate punished him. If you are not convinced, just go to the county magistrate. What are you blaming my father for?"

"Hmph, if he sues the boss to the county magistrate's office, the boss will go to jail!" Old man Tong glared at Tong Zhu'er viciously.

"When we first reported to the government, we didn't know that uncle was a thief."

"What did you say?" Old man Tong raised his slap and waved towards him. Tong Zhixin, who had been silent all this time, took a step forward, stopped Tong Zhi'er behind him, and received the old man's slap.

"Father," Tong Zhi'er said sharply, seeing Tong Zhixin's rapidly red and swollen face.

"Father, mother, elder brother committed a crime, it is his fault."

"You, if it weren't for you, the boss would be in jail, my God, you have separated your family, why don't you let us go, you have to send us all to prison, you can be reconciled to the grievances you have suffered all these years, right?"

The old lady at the side pointed at Tong Zhixin's nose and cursed.

"Grandma, grandma, instead of blaming my father, you might as well blame the aunt who instigated the uncle to steal things."

Seeing Lin's snickering joy, Tong Zhi'er said bitterly.

Lin's face immediately changed, and she jumped over and scolded: "You are talking nonsense!"

"Are you talking nonsense? Auntie knows it herself. Dad, let's go!"

Tong Zhi'er didn't want Tong Zhixin to get entangled with them, so he took him by the arm and got into Qin An's carriage.

Steward Zhang on the shaft raised his whip, and with a sound of "drive", the carriage was like a speeding scissors, and disappeared from the sight of the three of them in a short while.

Lin cursed Tong Zhixin and Tong Zhi'er loudly, trying to dispel the influence of Tong Zhi'er's words in the hearts of the old lady and Tong old man. A look of fire.

"You killed my son!"

The old lady at this moment has the heart to kill Lin.Her good son was instigated by such a woman to ruin the rest of his life, and also made their Tong family unable to hold up their heads in the village in the future, and they would point at anyone who owned it and say, look, this is stealing Tong's family, don't be careful with them.

"You wicked bitch, I'll kill you, I'll kill you—" the old lady angrily threw Mrs. Lin to the ground, pulling and scratching. Old man Tong also hated Mrs. Lin very much. Kicking her hard, this scene immediately attracted many people to watch.

Mrs. Lin had had enough of the old lady's torment, and had had enough of the old man Tong's eyes. Now that Tong Zhiming was in prison again, he had nothing to look forward to staying in Tong's house, and there was still 50 taels of silver she had hidden in the house. It is also possible to live a good life by taking Tong Cui'er away from Tong's house.Immediately, Mrs. Lin pushed the old lady aside, got up from the ground, kicked Old Man Tong again, and ran home quickly.

"Ouch——"

The old lady who was pushed heavily to the ground wailed.

Old man Tong held the painful part from Lin's kick, and frowned tightly.

"Old man, we must not let this shrew go,"

The old lady got up from the ground and ran after her.

Old man Tong also wants to punish Lin's, and when the pain lessens, he will quickly follow the old lady.

……

"Tweety, Tweety, pack your things quickly."

Mrs. Lin ran to her own yard, yelled loudly, entered the house, ran under the cabinet, and reached out to touch it.

empty?

How not?She obviously put it here?

In a hurry, Lin took out the contents of the cabinet and cleared the cabinet, but still did not find the 50 taels of silver.

"Tweety, Tweety..."

Called a dozen times, but no one answered.

"Sister-in-law, what happened?"

Luo Shi who heard the voice rushed over, but saw Lin's face in a panic.

Lin grabbed Luo's arm and asked eagerly, "Did you see Tweety?"

"I saw her walking away with a gray bag on the way back, but she didn't answer me when I called her. Sister-in-law, did you quarrel with Tweety..."

Luo Shi's voice was so ethereal that Lin Shi couldn't hear any of the following words, and her attention was all focused on the words Tong Cui'er walked away with the gray bag.

Lin's heart trembled.

It was Tweety who took the silver.

This is her daughter?
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Lin's mind was in a trance, Luo Shi didn't respond after calling her a few times, so he went out of the yard to ask Tong Zhide to come and have a look.

Mrs. Lin lost her mind for a while, and suddenly remembered that she had beaten the old lady and old man Tong, and immediately packed her bags.

No, I have suffered so many grievances, so I can't just leave like this!

A thought flashed through Lin's mind, she didn't pack her bags anymore, she went out of the yard and ran straight to the main house, where she rummaged through boxes and boxes and packed all the old lady's valuable things.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Luo Shi took Tong Zhide to Lin's yard, saw no one, and heard a voice from the main house, so he rushed over immediately, but he bumped into Lin in the old lady's room for a long time Turned around.

Lin's hands kept moving, and she searched every corner of the old lady's house, but she still couldn't find the place where the old lady hid the silver. Zhide stopped him.

"Step aside----"

"Sister-in-law, this is mother's property, you can't take it."

Tong Zhide said in a solemn voice with no expression on his face.
