Fierce “Husband”

"I came today, not for me, but for my husband, for the two young children in the family!" Shao Yunan's words were unexpected, and everyone thought he was here to seek justice for themselves.

"My husband is the eldest son in the family, and he left home to serve corvée within two months of the wedding. It takes two years after he left. Filial piety is the greatest thing. Today, I have tried my best to be unfilial, and I want to beg for my husband and two poor children. Fair. My mother-in-law bought fifty taels for her youngest son's life, but she couldn't afford to let the newly married eldest son guard her pregnant wife. After two years of corvée service, my husband came back injured and sick, but it has not been two years. I went to the military service again. I went to the law, and those who have served in corvé service for one year are exempted from military service. My mother-in-law forced my husband to join the army for my two sons, and even went to the yamen to lie that my husband was willing to join the army, until the yamen sent someone to take my husband away, Only then did he realize that his mother couldn't bear the suffering of the second son, nor was he willing to spend more money, and pushed him out of the house again.

This is another three years. Three years later, my husband's ex-wife left the house because she couldn't bear the beatings, scoldings, and abuses by her mother-in-law and younger siblings. My husband lost one eye and ruined half of his appearance. But just two days after I came back, my mother-in-law forced me to get married again, and forced me to clean up the mess for my younger brother. My husband couldn't bear it any longer, and proposed to get married after the separation, and my mother-in-law signed the deed of separation in front of Li Zheng and the patriarch. But just two days after I entered the house, my mother-in-law forced my husband to divorce me, because my husband refused to hand over my dowry, which angered my mother-in-law. For my sake, my husband wrote the deed of separation again, returning all the proceeds from the separation, even a grain of rice and a bundle of firewood, in exchange for the freedom to stay with me. "

Shao Yunan felt shameless when he said this.

"However, this deed is invalid. My husband went out of the house, and the house he lived in was also borrowed from the village. It is really called a family with four walls. In desperation, I took out the three stones that my husband gave me on the wedding day and sold it. , Fortunately, the shopkeeper of Diezhuang Pavilion took a fancy to it and bought it with money. As a result, my mother-in-law came to ask for it with my second brother and younger siblings after knowing it. Zhidao stone was something before my husband separated and must be owned by the family. I want to open the ancestral hall and convict my husband of being unfilial."

"I want to ask this Tong Shenglang from my husband's family. When your elder brother was treated like this by his family, where is the sage book you read? When your elder sister-in-law was bullied by your younger brother and sister-in-law, where is the sage book you read? Where? When your young nephew has to get up before dawn to cook for the family, where is the sage book you read? When your two- or three-year-old niece is going to do laundry for the family in the twelfth lunar month, you read it Where is the book of sages! When your nephews and nieces are not full or warm, and you have fish and meat to eat, where is the book of sages you read!

When you push the marriage you don't want to your eldest brother, where is the sage book you read? ! When your eldest brother got married, you hid in the county to meet with your classmates. Where are the sage books you read? ! When your family wants money to live with your elder brother on the grounds that you want to study and spend money, where is the book of sages you read? ! When your family coerced Lizheng and the patriarch as your Tongshenglang to force your eldest brother to leave the house, where is the sage book you read? ! Don't tell me you're not home, you don't know! "

"From my point of view! You read the book of sages and sages and read it into the belly of a dog! Don't say that your parents' fate cannot be violated, and don't say that filial piety is greater than heaven! You read classes at the age of five, and went to a private school at the age of eight, and it has been ten years before and after. I don't know that I practice filial piety, but I pay attention to parents' kindness and filial piety to children and grandchildren? Don't you know that your elder brother has been mistreated and your son and nephew have been bullied and wronged? Don't you know that it is unkind and unjust to return the marriage you don't want to your elder brother. , Don't you know that you must be present on the day your brother gets married?"

"You are nothing but a virgin, so you just stand on the sidelines with no heart, no heart, ignoring the love of your brothers, and letting your family do what you want. As long as you usually persuade and restrain yourself, set an example, respect your brothers and sisters, and treat your children and nephews well, how can your nephews and nieces grow up when they are young? If you don't have a mother, why would your eldest brother feel cold to his family?"

"If a person like you is really an official in the examination, how can you treat the people kindly and think about the people? He must be an unkind official, a corrupt official in a fish-and-meat town! It's great to be able to improve after passing the test. You have ten years of experience. It took time to make amends, but it turned out to be even worse! Why did this family dare to be so unscrupulous, why did they dare to ignore the laws of the court, ignore the agreement of the deed, why did they dare to force the patriarch to open the ancestral hall, is it not because you are Tong Shenglang, and you are the future champion they believe? If all my readers are like you, then what hope do I have?!"

"It's been the fourth day since I married your eldest brother, Wang Songzhi, I ask you, do you recognize me?"

"Wow—"

Everyone was shocked. Wang Zhisong is recognized by everyone as this year's new boy. Shao Yunan's last bomb fell, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Zhisong, who was at a loss. The people around him quickly pushed away. In an instant, Wang Zhisong's surroundings were empty. The county magistrate and the dean's faces were always worried, and the two masters frowned. At this time, all four of them also looked at Wang Zhisong, and the dean even shook his head.

Shao Yunan took a few steps to the pale, shaky Wang Zhisong and asked loudly, "Wang Zhisong! My brother-in-law, do you recognize me?"

"me…"

No matter how arrogant Wang Zhisong was at ordinary times, he was just a fifteen-year-old boy who had never seen anything in the world. In the village on weekdays, everyone admires it; at home, everyone loves it. How could he handle such a scene. Shao Yunan's previous words had already made him panic, and now he was questioned by Shao Yunan face to face.

Shao Yunan saw Wang Shijing at this time, and Wang Shijing's height also stood out here. He saw Wang Shijing's expression, and at that moment, his heart ached. Shao Yunan walked towards Wang Shijing step by step. The county magistrate, the dean, and the two masters followed his movements and noticed a few people who were out of place here, and even more noticed the tall man wearing a black blindfold and half of his face was destroyed. The county magistrate stood up, the dean and the two masters also stood up immediately, and everyone turned around.

The people along the way consciously made way for Shao Yunan without making a sound. Shao Yunan walked in front of Wang Shijing, stretched out his hand and grabbed his fist, which was clenched white, broke apart his fingers, held it, and then raised his head: "Wang Shijing, your parents don't love you; your brother bullied you; , I love you. Brother Qing and Nizi are your and my children."

Wang Shijing's other hand that was not held tightly hugged Shao Yun'an, his voice hoarse and heart-pounding.

"Daughter-in-law, I made you wronged."

Letting go of Wang Shijing's hand, Shao Yunan also hugged him vigorously with both hands, hugging this man who had suffered too much. At this moment, Shao Yunan didn't have any distracting thoughts in his head, he just wanted to hug this man like this.

"Sir, do you think this housework may be broken?" The courtyard looked at the two people hugging each other, and didn't sigh, so he spoke up.

As soon as the dean made a sound, Shao Yunan broke free from Wang Shijing's embrace and walked over with Wang Shijing's hand. Wang Shijing was about to kneel and salute before the magistrate. He was afraid that the magistrate would punish Shao Yunan. The county magistrate reached out his hand to stop Wang Shijing, and said gently, "Your daughter-in-law is seeking justice for you, but this official still doesn't know his name."

Wang Shijing glanced at Shao Yunan and replied, "Caomin Wang Shijing. His wife's surname is Shao and his name is Yunan. He is all for Cao Ming, please don't blame him for trespassing in the county school. Caomin will bear all the punishment."

The county magistrate waved his hand and smiled lightly: "This is the county school. If you want to punish you, you need to ask the dean."

Dean Cen stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "Brother Shao is affectionate and righteous, and he wasn't trespassing, but?" He looked at Master Chen and Guan again. Master Guan didn't answer, and he wasn't looking for him at first. Master Chen said humbly: "I wish there would be more people like Shao Xiaoge who 'break into' the county school without permission. What I heard today is such a blessing."

Master Guan nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

Dean Cen laughed and said to Wang Shijing, "If you can have such a daughter-in-law, you must treat it well." Wang Shijing's worry was so gently taken away by the three of them.

Immediately afterwards, Dean Cen's face froze, and he asked Wang Shijing, "Is what your daughter-in-law said true?"

Wang Shijing did not answer directly, but said: "I have no guilt for my family. It is stated in the deed of separation that I have nothing to do with my family, and my family's honor and disgrace have nothing to do with me. The deed has nothing to do with me. In triplicate, Yurizheng, the main family and I each keep one copy. Now, the younger generation just wants to live with Yunan in peace and raise two children. The stone is given to Yunan by me, and the income will also belong to Yunan. "

Wang Shijing is a son and a brother, if he directly says that his parents and younger brother are not, then even if he is reasonable, it will easily make people feel disgusted. The mind of this reader is so delicate. His answer made people believe that Shao Yunan didn't lie, and he also won everyone's sympathy.

Dean Cen looked at the county magistrate: "This housework, this old man thinks you can break it up."

Master Chen also immediately said: "This housework is really up to you to decide. The matter of the king's family and sons has already affected the law of my court."

The county magistrate nodded, sat down again, patted the stone table beside him lightly with one hand, and said, "Then this official is here to judge the Wang family's family affairs."

Everyone stood up immediately, but President Cen and the two masters both stood up. This is not a court, you don't need to kneel to hear the sentence, but there must be some rules.

The county magistrate said: "According to the law of our dynasty, those who have served corvée for one year or more are exempt from military service; if there is a male in the family who needs to serve in the military, they can not replace it. Those who are at least 50 big boards, and the more serious, will be imprisoned for one to three years. Wang Shijing served two years of corvée service, and he is not required to do military service, and he cannot be forced to do military service. The mother of the Wang family deceived the yamen and forced the eldest son to serve the second son. Those who read that their mother is an old man may not be punished, but those who are replaced must be punished and exiled for five hundred li for three years.

In addition, the mother of the Wang family and the second son and daughter-in-law of the Wang family came to ask for money after the signing of the deed, which violated the law of the contract. There is no law in my dynasty that stipulates that all the property of undivided children should be shared, and the stones that Wang Shijing obtained should belong to him. Wang Jiajia’s mother, Wang Jiajia’s second son and second daughter-in-law begging for money, one violated the law of contract, and the second committed robbery. The mother belongs to the elderly, and the fifty-large board and the one-year imprisonment are divided by the second son and the second daughter-in-law of the Wang family.

When Wang Shijing was forced to perform military service, Wang Zhisong was young and could not be punished. Wang Songzhi was not present when the mother of the Wang family violated the law of the contract. If she did not know it, she was not guilty but could not be punished. "

The crumbling Wang Zhisong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately took a few steps forward and knelt down: "Thank you sir."

The county magistrate did not let Wang Zhisong rise, and continued: "Wang Zhisong, this official will not punish you today. But as a scholar, you have not achieved the etiquette and filial piety that a scholar should have. Your mother is arrogant and you do not impose any restraints. , this is not filial piety, but unfilial piety! Your brother is deceived, your sister-in-law is humiliated, your son and nephew suffer, and your indifferent watching is not worthy of your status as a scholar. It is shameful to be ashamed of the master who teaches you. Just like you As the elder sister-in-law said, your sages and sages have been read into the stomach of a dog. If all the students in the world are like you, my country of Dayan will be in danger!"

Wang Zhisong's body swayed a few times and sat on the ground.

"If you are young, I will punish you to go home and reflect, re-read the book of sages, and re-learn the way of etiquette and filial piety. If you change within a year, you can return to the county school to study; if you still do not repent, you can study elsewhere. Let's go." The magistrate looked at Dean Cen, "What does the Dean think?"

Dean Cen nodded: "I don't accept people who violate morality here. I also don't allow students who go out from my place to lose my reputation and face as a scholar in Dayan."

"Sir! Dean!" Wang Zhisong was frightened, really frightened, and tears came out, "I don't know, I really don't know, those, those are all done by my mother, my second brother and second sister-in-law. Yes! I don't know!"

It's good that Wang Zhisong doesn't argue, but it's even more contemptible when he argues. The reputation and the face that scholars value most is their own virtue. And no matter what the inside is, it must be leak-tight on the surface, and it cannot be used as an excuse. Wang Zhisong blamed his mother and brother and sister-in-law for the fault, which was even more disgusting, and also confirmed Shao Yunan's accusations against him. The county magistrate shook his head, full of disappointment with Wang Zhisong, and Dean Cen's expression was also extremely bad, and he said firmly, "Go back."

"Dean!" Wang Zhisong wanted to plead for mercy, but one kneeled down before him. The magistrate, the dean, and the others onlookers were all puzzled.

Wang Shijing gave the county magistrate a kowtow, and said: "Sir, as a son and a brother, I have no guilt for my parents, and I have done my best to my brothers. Now that I come back alive, the service is over. I have paid back the kindness of my parents for raising me, and my brother’s brotherhood. The reason my wife came here is not for anyone to be punished for this, but only to make my mother and brother recognize the deed and live their own lives in the future, and they will have nothing to do with each other. Take back the punishment, the right should be the grassman to do his last filial piety and do his righteousness again."

After all, Wang Shijing kowtowed to the magistrate again. The magistrate asked Wang Shijing to get up and look at Shao Yunan. Shao Yunan did not kneel, but bowed and said, "I only hope that in the future, the two sides will be as written in the deed, the bridge will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, and there will be no more ties."

"The bridge returns to the bridge, the road returns to the road..." The county magistrate pondered, nodded slightly, looked at Wang Zhisong, who had hopeful eyes, and said, "You two are in love and righteousness, but this official cannot decide the case with friendship. The law is strict, and the official himself For the parents of Yongxiu County, this sentence is not only to avenge the two of you, but also to enforce the strictness of the law for the people of Yongxiu County. If this official knows there are violations, but turns a blind eye, what will happen to this official in the future? Apologizing for others, how to govern this county."

Wang Zhisong's body trembled again. President Cen said: "Sir, this case involves my mother and brother, if we want to investigate it further, it also involves the Wang family and Lizheng of Xiushui Village. The law is strict, and the adults should deal with them justly, but the two of them cannot escape from the clan and Xiushui Village. According to the judgment of the adults, I am afraid that the two of them will be sad and calm when they return. Investigate, if the adults do not come out of human feelings and deal with them lightly, it will also prevent the two of them from being wronged, but still suffer from human feelings and the patriarchal law."

The magistrate was silent as if thinking deeply. After a while, the magistrate nodded, and Wang Zhisong's face showed hopeful anxiety again. The county magistrate made the final sentence: "This matter can't go unpunished, but the two of you plead for mercy, and what Dean Cen said is true, so the officer will make a compromise. Your brother and sister-in-law, avoid exile, and change Five months into the prison, and fifty large boards each, including the surrogate mother, and for your Wang clan, this punishment cannot be waived, and the two of you don’t need to beg for mercy.”

The county magistrate's last sentence indicated that the matter was over, Wang Shijing pursed his lips and bowed: "Thank you, sir."

Shao Yunan also saluted: "Thank you sir."

The magistrate judged the punishment intuitively, and Wang Zhisong asked Dean Cen to come forward. Dean Cen continued: "Wang Zhisong, I miss you when you are young, and the adults will exempt you from punishment, but your virtue is contrary to your identity as a child. It's really chilling. Your elder brother pleads for you, and I will save you from thinking for a year. You go home and think about it in March before you go to school. Don't ask the Master to judge the housework, then you can do it yourself. I hope you can restrain your family's actions in the future, and don't fall into the name of your Tongshenglang."

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Dean!" Wang Zhisong kowtowed and thanked him, but he hated Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan in his lowered eyes.

The county magistrate and President Cen shook their heads when Wang Zhisong didn't see it. This Wang Zhisong did not thank his brother and sister-in-law until the end, this person's character is already evident. Thinking of the conduct of the Wang family again, Wang Zhisong not only failed to persuade his family after studying for many years, but instead let himself go, this person may only feel resentment in his heart. There are relatively few scholars in Dayang Kingdom, but for the county magistrate and the head of the first hospital of the county school, such scholars are not worth it.

The two masters, the magistrate and Dean Cen's thoughts, could see clearly, and the students who were a little thoughtful at the scene could also understand, but no one went back to mention Wang Zhisong. On the contrary, they were all very curious about Shao Yunan. He is obviously a muddy peasant, how could he say such amazing words that even they have never heard of.
