Travel through time and become the wronged stepmother

Zhang and Meng instantly panicked and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. Mr. Qingtian, this woman realizes her mistake and begs the Mr. Qingtian to show mercy and spare her this trouble. I beg the county magistrate to have mercy, I beg the county magistrate to spare my life...

The two yamen servants ignored the two people who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy. They dragged Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Meng down to the hall. They set up two big benches in the middle of the yard and pushed Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Meng on the benches to move. No. Then several yamen servants raised the thick sticks in their hands and hit Zhang and Meng on their butts. When the sticks hit Zhang and Meng's butts, the two people's screams were filled inside and outside the yamen. After a burst of crackling sound of sticks, Zhang and Meng were brought to the front of the hall for questioning.

Yan Ming sat down and slapped his head on the floor and asked again, "Ning Zhang, Ning Meng, let me ask you two. Ning Tang and Ning Jiang are suing you for beating and insulting your niece Ning Xiaoliu until she fell unconscious. He also robbed the wild boar. When he failed to rob the wild boar, he also slandered Ning Tang and the Ning Jiang family for having an affair. We still have to find out quickly whether the matter is true.

When Zhang and Meng heard this, they quibbled quickly. Zhang opened his mouth and said, "Your Excellency, it is clear that Ning Xiaoliu is a little bastard." You are so bold to dare to disturb the court with dirty words, but I think you, a mountain village woman, will not be held accountable if you don't understand the rules. If you dare to do it again, you will be served with sticks."

Mrs. Zhang quickly knelt down and kowtowed, shouting, "Thank you Qingtian for not punishing me." When I returned to the county, my niece was rude and disrespectful to her elders. As a child, I should help discipline her.

Meng also answered: "As elders, we are just educating children, so what's wrong with us? Shouldn't we be a little harsher? How can trivial matters be worth bothering the county magistrate?"

Mrs. Zhang took over the conversation: "As for the wild boar, we thought it was Ningtang who shot it himself. Since it was Ningtang who shot it, we should take it back to honor our parents. I think these things will be given to my parents sooner or later. We just wanted to help Ning Tang carry the wild boar back. Unexpectedly, my niece lied that the wild boar was hunted by my cousin Ning Jiang, and forcibly stopped us from leaving. We had no choice but to teach him a lesson. Let’s talk about our unfilial niece. It must be because my niece was in poor health that she fainted and hasn’t woken up yet. She doesn’t care about our affairs.

At this time, Meng glanced at Ning Tang and Jiang Luorou who were kneeling on the ground and said: "County Master, look at the cousins ​​of the peasant women who are only twenty-eight years old and so thin. How can they hunt that ferocious big wild boar?" What? This wild boar must have been hunted by my brother-in-law. If it weren’t for the purpose of currying favor with this flirtatious cousin, who would have given the hunted wild boar away. If it is said that there is no adultery between these two people, just ask how many people are present. I believe it. Pity my poor cousin. It has only been a few days since he went to the border to fight, but he was cuckolded by this free-spirited woman.

A middle-aged man wearing patchwork linen clothes said: "I think what this woman said is true. Look at Ning Jiang's fragile appearance, I'm afraid she can't even lift a bucket of water."

I saw a relatively strong man saying: "Well, she is the only one who hunts wild boars. Oh, even if I encounter a big wild boar, I am not sure I can subdue it. This man must have made up a lie to please her. If she is willing If you serve me well. Hehe, I am also willing to give her good things to please her. This little appearance is so attractive." After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Luorou's body with lustful eyes.

I saw a sarcastic old woman looking at Jiang Luorou with disdain and saying, "A woman who is so unruly should be dragged into the river and soaked in a pig cage."

The people watching the excitement outside grinned, all criticizing Jiang Luorou.

Seeing everyone reacting like this, Zhang and Meng couldn't help but smile. Originally, the matter solved by a wild boar was something you wanted to report to the official. It is not our fault that we have ended up in this situation.

At this time, Old Man Ning and his party also came to the door of the Yamen to watch the excitement. Old Mrs. Ning said to Old Man Ning, "Look at that beast who has good things but doesn't come to honor us. You know how to please that foxy child. Look, this trouble will make us unable to hold our heads high in the village in the future."

Yan Ming was shocked when he saw the noise in the hall, and everyone silently shut their mouths.

Yan Ming seemed to be in trouble and said: "You two have different opinions, and both of them are quite reasonable. This makes it difficult for me to make a decision. Let me ask you, Mr. Ning Jiang, if you have any evidence that you said the wild boar was hunted by you."

When Jiang Luorou heard the county magistrate ask about her, she quickly replied: "As for the county magistrate, this wild boar was indeed hunted by a peasant woman. A peasant woman is born with great strength. The peasant woman's mother's family was originally a hunter and she knew some boxing and kicking skills. I have learned a lot from my father since I was a child, and it is no problem to deal with a wild boar. When the peasant woman hunted the wild boar, she used an ax to chop it, so there were a lot of blood stains on her clothes. The wild boar, the ax and the bloody clothes were currently in the process of hunting the wild boar. On the car, the county magistrate can go check it out. Besides, women are not the only people present on the mountain today. There are also many villagers cutting firewood at the foot of the mountain. They can all testify for the women. Who is it? The county magistrate calls for one. Just ask and you will know.

Ningtang spoke at the right time and said: "The county magistrate knows that my little daughter is the most sensible. If the two sisters-in-law hadn't been unreasonable first, my daughter would never have contradicted her elders for no reason, and my daughter has always been healthy and would never have fainted for no reason. At this time The little girl is on the bullock cart. Please ask the doctor to see what happened. All the villagers have seen what happened and can testify for the grassroots. If the adults ask, they will know.

When Yan Ming heard this, he said to the government servant beside him: "Go to Chunhui Hall and ask Wang Langzhong to come here."

The two of you go to see if the wild boar was killed with an axe. Bring the bloody clothes, Ning Xiaoliu, the daughter of the Ning family, and the villagers who testified. After saying that, the Yamen officer took the order and walked out...

After a while, the Yamen servant brought Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, Zhao Liu and Zhao holding Xiaoliu to the court.

The yamen officer walked up to Yan Ming and replied, reporting the county magistrate's bloody clothes, the person involved, Ning Xiaoliu, and witnesses, and that the wild boar was indeed hacked to death with an axe. Okay, please step aside for now.

Mrs. Zhao gently put Ning Xiaoliu on the ground and knelt on the ground with everyone, saluting quickly and said, "Grassmen Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, Zhao Liu, and folk woman Ning Zhao paid homage to Master Qingtian."

Yan Ming, who was sitting at the top, was stunned and asked, "Tell me exactly what you saw on the mountain. If you deceive me, I will not spare you lightly."

Zhang San, a common man, went to the mountains to cut firewood when it rained recently. It was probably because all the villagers were short of firewood at home. There were so many people going up to the mountains to cut firewood today. He saw Ningtang’s family cutting thatch on the mountain. He couldn’t help but be a little curious. He asked Then he learned that Ning Tang's house was leaking badly and needed thatch to be repaired, so he was cutting firewood not far away from him while chatting with everyone.
