Physician and Food [Farming]

After listening to this.The county magistrate was also a little bit embarrassed.Such a benevolent and strong woman, even in ancient times, is also a chaste and strong woman with a good reputation.

"If this is the case, then bring that Zhao Wu to the court to confront. Bring Zhao Wu!"

After about a stick of incense, Zhao Wu was brought by the yamen servant with a disturbed and ignorant expression, and knelt beside Gou Wa in front of the hall, completely unaware of the reason.He thought about it a lot along the way, but he didn't think about it because of Liu Xiu'er.After all, in her eyes, Liu Xiuer only had her parents at home.His father was beaten half to death by him again, and his mother, an old woman from the countryside, should not have that much ability to come here to complain.

"Xiaomin pays tribute to the master."

"Zhao Wu, you can be convicted!" The county magistrate shouted, and sent people on both sides to shout his power with sticks, which made Zhao Wuyi tremble in fright.

"Xiaomin has always been law-abiding, and has never paid a penny less tax. I hope the master will see clearly!"

"Look at the one next to you." The magistrate said, "Do you know who he is!"

Zhao Wu glanced sideways at Gou Wa.This person is well dressed and should come from a wealthy family.It stands to reason that there are not many prominent figures in this county, and Zhao Wu mostly knows them.But I really can't think of who this dog is.

"Reporting to the master, Caomin really can't remember when I met this little brother."

"Of course you don't remember him. From what he said, his unmarried wife worked in your house. Because you were greedy for her beauty and couldn't get it, you bought her hair into a brothel. Is there such a thing?" County Grandpa asked with a sneer.

Zhao Wuye trembled when he heard this, and when he was looking carefully at Gouwa's clothes, he happened to see an ice jadeite jade pendant hanging around his waist.The jade was so fine that even a person like him who had seen such a good thing couldn't take his eyes off it just by looking at it.And this young man just casually hangs on his waist like an ordinary thing.

Did it really kick on the iron board?But since that woman has such a good background, how could anyone bully him, even refuse to say a word when she was sold into a brothel?

Zhao Wuye couldn't think of the relationship here for a while, so he had to beg for mercy repeatedly: "Report to Master Qingtian! The grass people really don't know about this. A few days ago, the mansion sold a slave who seduced the master. The mansion has always been run by the wife Management. The grassroots don’t know much about it. There is just one thing. When all maids enter the mansion, they will ask if they have a suitable family. Madam believes in Buddhism. For fear of tarnishing the girl’s reputation and being looked down upon by her in-laws, she never has one. The maid of the husband's family. So Xiaomin really doesn't know which girl has the unmarried husband."

Seeing that Zhao Wuye was about to rebel against the general, Gou Wa hurriedly took out the marriage certificate he had prepared.

"Master, please take a look. When the engagement was made, Ms. Liu was not yet born, and we were considered marriages. Ms. Liu and I also grew up together. Perhaps when we entered the mansion, Ms. Liu wanted to be selected I went in and told a lie. But after being chosen by the master to be my aunt, she didn't want to, so she would tell where the villain is. The fifth master can say that Miss Liu hates the poor and loves the rich. It's just that the villain has become a scholar now The future is not limited, but there is no need to worry about food and clothing. Whoever wants to come, the lady who is the main house of the scholar, and the aunt who is still a half slave in the fifth master's mansion. Whoever you choose between the two should be able to think I understand. If the fifth master insists that my sister is seductive and seductive, please come and confront Miss Liu who is currently in the brothel."

It's rare for Gouwa to be eloquent.In fact, Gouwa is also not a person who is easy to argue with others.It's just for the sake of Fa Xiao who grew up together.Gouwa has had a close relationship with his relatives since he was a child, and Liu Xiuer grew up with him, so Gouwa can't just watch being dragged into a pit of fire.

"Zhao Wu! You heard it too, are you convinced?" After the county magistrate finished speaking, he expressed his thoughts again, "Since you said you didn't know, let's call your wife over there to ask. Not to mention Is it true that you said that the fox charmed the Lord? Even if it is true, the maid is not a dead contract, but also a short contract, dishonest, let the parents take it back and match each other. There is no reason to sell it What's more, selling into a brothel? You can continue to quibble with the official. Since the girl is Chen Er's fiancée, even if she hasn't passed the family, she can be counted as a scholar. Have you seen this big Yanlu?"

Hearing this, how dare Fifth Master Zhao argue?He hurriedly knelt down and confessed his mistake: "The villain is stupid! I even apologize to the adults. It has always been my wife who was angry and confused, so I did that stupid thing! The villain apologizes to this young master again on behalf of my wife. Please turn around They sent Ms. Liu back alive, and please forgive me."

Seeing that he was subdued, the adults didn't say anything more.He winked at Gouwa and nodded slightly.

"Chen Er, what do you think?"

Gou Wa said with a blessing: "The grassroots didn't want to cause troubles, but my sister is so miserable, and she is still suffering in that shameful place. I also hope that the adults will be far-reaching for the villain and take him home quickly. Middle. My father-in-law is still lying on the kang, not knowing whether he is dead or alive. If my sister goes back late, I'm afraid she won't even see her last time."

That's the end of the story, Mr. Zhao Wu will not get better today.

The magistrate of the county has the intention of helping Gou Wa.What's more, this matter itself is a dog's reason.

"Zhao Wu! Do you have anything else to say?"

"The grass people have nothing to say."

"Since this is the case, Zhao Wu sold good girls first, and indulged evil slaves last. The behavior is extremely arrogant. Considering that there is still something you don't know, it is an offense again. You will be exonerated from major crimes and fined thirty boards. I order you to send that The girl was picked up from the brothel, and she was sent home without error. Another fine of 50 taels of silver was given to the Liu family, and it was only used for Liu's father's recuperation and the girl's shock. Retire!"

The gavel was snapped, and the matter was settled like this.

Hearing the punishment, Zhao Wu shivered.Thirty boards, I don't know how to hit him, how can his old arms and legs stand up?Then there are those 50 taels.Zhao Wuye's family doesn't earn much, most of them rely on the blessings of their ancestors.The 50 taels was almost a month's expenses in his family. Although it was not much, it was still a lot, enough to buy twenty maids as servants.

Zhao Wuye was dragged down, and then he reacted and asked for mercy.But how could the messenger listen to his begging for mercy, and if he dragged on, he would be served with a board.

Gou Wa hurriedly bowed his head to thank him, the county magistrate nodded to him, asked him some trivial matters of the past few months, and asked him to go back first and wait for the girl to send her back.

It's not convenient for Gouwa to pick her up in person, so Liu Xiu'er was sent in concealed, and the one who came out had to be concealed even more.Don't let outsiders know anything.Otherwise, Liu Xiuer's reputation would be ruined.

In this era where starving to death is a matter of minor injustices and major matters, ruining her reputation is no different from killing her.

Gou Wa left the county grandpa's mansion, and didn't dare to enter Huichun Hall, but let the carriage pass by Huichun Hall, opened the curtain and looked inside.When he looked up, he happened to see that the upstairs window was open, and Tie Dan was standing on the window and smiling at him.

Gouwa's heart skipped a beat, he was stunned for a few seconds looking at that iron egg, his eyes turned red, and he almost jumped out of the window.

It should be soon, the two of them will soon live together again.At that time, no one can separate them anymore.

There will be a day when they will be together forever.

After returning, Gou Wa first went to Liu Si's house to announce the happy news.Liu Si's daughter-in-law didn't expect it to be solved so easily.Of course, she also understood that it was because Gouwa was in it as a member.

Gou Wa returned the marriage certificate without hesitation: "This marriage certificate is also very useful. Without him, I'm afraid this matter will take a lot of talking. But fortunately, it's all settled. You can keep it. When Xiu'er comes back, let's burn it."

The meaning of Gouwa's words is very clear.This time I took out the marriage certificate just to save people.

Liu Si's daughter-in-law was holding the marriage certificate in her hand, and she felt that it weighed a thousand catties.

Gou Wa was about to leave when someone called out from behind. Gou Wa turned around and saw Liu Si's wife kneeling straight down.

"Gouwa, you married Xiu'er."

Gouwa was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "What is fourth aunt doing? Isn't this shortening my nephew's life?"

The fourth daughter-in-law of Liu burst into tears, and cried, "I really have no other ideas. I'm afraid that the matter of Xiu'er will get out. If others find out... Even if we know she is clean, bad words will inevitably spread. Your uncle is like that again, and I don’t know how to live in the future. Retiring the engagement in the past was a foolish thing we did. Now that Xiu’er is so old, after thinking about it, you are the only one who is the best. .If you don't mind..."

"Fourth Aunt." Gouwa's face turned serious, "Marriage, how can it be a joke? What's more... I already have another marriage. How can there be any reason for one person to hire two wives?"

"Yes? Which girl is it?" Liu Si's daughter-in-law was also thinking quickly, "Could it be that nobleman arranged it?"

Gouwa nodded.It's not a lie either.It's just that his wife is not a girl, but that noble person herself.

Liu Si's wife sighed: "That's right, since the other party recognizes you as a brother, there is nothing wrong with resolving major marriage issues for you. But this matter... By the way. Why did I forget, you are also a noble person now. Since you are a noble person , having three wives and four concubines is not in the way. If you don't dislike it, it is also her blessing for Xiu'er to be your child."

Seeing Liu Si's daughter-in-law being obsessed with this, Gou Wa smiled bitterly in her heart: "Fourth Aunt's words have thrown our years of friendship into the ground. When will we have so many bad things? I never I detested Xiu'er. But I never thought of marrying her. I regarded her as my sister of the same father and mother, and treated her well. It's just that everyone in the village regarded us as a couple since I was a child. I didn't understand back then, Then I agreed. Not to mention the things that happened later in the family. Even if I didn’t, if I figured it out, this marriage would not be possible. Not to mention marrying her in as a concubine, even being the wife of the house, I have never been a concubine. She is a wife, so naturally she has been wronged."

Liu Si's daughter-in-law never thought about such words, so naturally she didn't understand.

Seeing that she still wanted to talk, Gouwa said again: "Since ancient times, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. After all, Xiu'er has worked in a rich family's house, eaten and seen more than us. Why not let her make up her own mind? Say Maybe she chose it by herself, better than us. Just stop worrying about it."
