Raising husband in Zhai Douwen

On the one hand, Xu Yihuan sent people to Du's house, on the other hand, he invited He Tang and Chen Dongmei into the flower hall.

Xu Yihuan asked: "What happened 20 years ago, why did you wait until today to sue the government?"

He Tang replied: "Your Excellency, you don't know that the Du family has a great career in Suzhou, and we dare not fight with them. I heard that the imperial envoy is the master of Qingtian and can make decisions for the people, so we dared to attack." Shout out grievances."

Xu Yihuan asked Chen Dongmei again: "Mr. Chen, how many years have you been in the Du family? How many years have you been with the Du family's aunt?"

"In terms of my lord, the civilian woman was sold to the Du family by her parents when she was five years old, and she has been staying with the eldest lady all the time."

"So, you and the aunt of the Du family have grown up in love together. When she was about to marry into the Houfu of the capital, she married you. Why?"

"Don't be afraid of adults' jokes. At that time, He Tang and I were already in love with each other. After my aunt found out, she made us happy."

"This time she went back to her hometown to visit relatives, have you seen her?"

"Our identities are very different. The women did not go to see the aunt, but we met by chance."

Although Chen Dongmei was trembling, she answered in an orderly manner, with half truths and half lies.

It's not hard for Xu Yihuan to find out that He Tang and Chen Dongmei were ordered to beat the drums to protest their grievances, and even their rhetoric was taught in advance.

The Yacha invited old Mrs. Du and Du Baode and Du Baozhu over, and Yang Jiming also accompanied them.

On the way here, the yacha had already told them everything about what happened in the courtroom.

He Tang and Chen Dongmei got up quickly, lowered their heads very low, and stepped back involuntarily.

Xu Yihuan said: "Master Du, everyone, I just said straight to the point, these two sued the Du family for indirectly killing their sworn brother Wu Jin."

He Tang and Chen Dongmei looked at Aunt Du frequently in fear.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was Aunt Du who instigated these two people, and Aunt Du didn't mind letting them know at all.

Du Baode was the most impatient, and asked Aunt Du: "Bao Zhu, why did you do this? Wu Jin's death has nothing to do with us."

"What did Big Brother say? Why can't I understand?" Auntie Du had a slight smile on her lips, but it seemed that it could be turned into an ice blade.

Old Mrs. Du said in a deep voice, "Don't be presumptuous in front of the imperial envoy."

Du Baode snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.

Aunt Du smiled softly, as if you could do nothing to me.

Xu Yihuan said: "Everyone here is a sensible person. In fact, this matter can also be said to be a family matter of the Du family."

Mrs. Du said: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your understanding."

Aunt Du gave He Tang and Chen Dongmei a wink in front of them, and the two knelt down in front of Xu Yihuan, "I beg you to be the master of the people."

Xu Yihuan said: "According to the two of you, it was Du Baode who wronged Wu Jin for stealing money, which caused him to die of depression and joy."

"Yes."

Xu Yihuan asked Du Baode: "Master Du, what do you say about this?"

Du Baode replied: "My lord, I can't figure out why I should wrongly accuse a young man of stealing money."

He Tang said: "Because the old man embezzled the money from the counter privately, if he can't make it up, he will wrong my brother-in-law."

Du Baode said: "What evidence do you have? Now I want to sue you for false accusations."

He Tang said: "There is evidence!"

Xu Yihuan looked at the expressions of the members of the Du family calmly, and asked, "He Tang, what evidence do you have, please present it."

"Yes, my lord." After saying that, He Tang took out an account book from his arms. "This is the account book of Baoji Rice Shop back then. The few accounts with problems are all from the hands of the old man."

Xu Yihuan glanced at it. What he saw was whether the paper and ink of the account book were from many years ago.

After that, he passed the account books to Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du flipped through a page and knew that the account book was real.

Du Baode also looked through it, and asked, "Why do you have the account books of Mipu? We reconcile the accounts at the end of every year, and there is never any missing account book."

He Tang said: "A month ago, a masked man I didn't know handed it to me. There are many old men in Mipu. Your Excellency can send someone to ask if the old man wronged my righteous brother Wu Jin for stealing. .”

Everyone knows the truth.

Mrs. Du said: "He Tang, Dongmei, I remember you. One of you used to be a clerk in the rice shop, and the other was a maid in the mansion. What do you want when you sue the yamen today?"

He Tang said: "Master, we just want to seek justice for our righteous brother Wu Jin."

"What do you mean by fairness?"

"The Du family admitted that they had indirectly killed Wu Jin, and the old man apologized to Wu Jin in front of the people of Suzhou."

Du Baode said angrily: "Impossible!"

Old Mrs. Du looked at Aunt Du, and said in a deep voice, "No one wanted to kill him. We were all surprised by his death. It's been 20 years, and it's not good for you to damage the Du family's reputation for a dead person."

Aunt Du didn't let go, "Why did you tell me this?"

"Don't forget, your surname is also Du."

"I was born by my father, how could I forget?"

Old Master Du looked at Yang Jiming, "Third Young Master, what do you think?"

Yang Jiming was suddenly named and said, "Grandpa, I don't know much about this matter, so it's hard to judge."

Old Mrs. Du said to Aunt Du: "You already have three young masters, let's stop this matter."

Aunt Du said, "I don't understand what Dad said."

He Tang and Chen Dongmei knelt down and begged Xu Yihuan: "Please seek justice for Wu Jin, my lord."

They continued to stand in a stalemate for more than half an hour. Zhang Yong and others came back and reported: "My lord, my subordinates have found the former clerk of Baoji Rice Shop, and they all said that this happened 20 years ago."

Immediately, Old Master Du looked at Aunt Du in shock, with a face full of disbelief, and smiled angrily: "Okay, okay, you really deserve to be my daughter. If you were a son, how wonderful it would be."

"They're all things that you can eat inside and out!" Du Baode said anxiously, "Master Xu, they united to wrong me."

Xu Yihuan glanced at Yang Jiming who was equally astonished, pondered slightly, and said, "Old Master Du, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, and it's time for the Du family to give an explanation."

Old Mrs. Du narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Okay."

So, they walked out of the Yamen together.

Outside the yamen, there are more people onlookers than when the hall was opened.

Someone announced in advance that the Du family had done something immoral to the buddy, and Mrs. Du would apologize in public.

Old Mrs. Du looked at more and more people, his face darkened for a moment, and then he said to Aunt Du: "If this is the case, if you can feel more comfortable in your heart, then I will do it."

Aunt Du still said, "Father, that's not what I meant."

The yamen servants maintained order and calmed down the people watching the bustle.

Mrs. Du raised his voice and said: "20 years ago, Wu Jin and He Tang were both employees of our Dujiabaoji rice shop. Back then, Wu Jin was wronged for stealing money, depressed and unhappy, and died of hatred. Now He Tang and his wife beat drums to redress their injustice. Seek justice for them. I, Du Zezhong, apologize to Wu Jin in front of all Suzhou officials and people, to comfort his spirit in heaven."

An apology, Mrs. Du said it sincerely, with a proper expression.Gradually, voices among the people spoke well of him and the Du family.

People forgive quickly, but it is not known whether those who are really hurt will forgive.

Aunt Du looked at this scene with cold eyes, and thought: How could it end like this?

Not long after, someone squeezed to the front from the crowd and shouted: "The rice we bought from Baoji Rice Shop has been mixed with sand!"

Immediately afterwards, someone said: "Baoji Rice Shop sold us moldy rice!"

One after another, they were all voices accusing the Du family of bad business.

Many people who have bought rice from Baoji Rice Shop are also wondering whether they have also bought moldy rice?

The yamen servants tried their best to calm the people down.

Mrs. Du raised his voice and said: "Our Baoji Rice Shop will never sell spoiled rice, nor will it be mixed with sand."

The people were clamoring, but they didn't listen at all.

Someone said: "The imperial envoy please inspect the grain!"

"Please imperial envoy to inspect the food!"

The voice of requesting grain inspection was louder and louder.

Xu Yihuan looked at the few people who took the lead to guide the people calmly, and then waved his hands up and down to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Du's Baoji Rice Store has branches all over the city, and almost everyone has eaten Baoji's rice. Food is the most important thing for the people. Today, I will go to the Du's rice warehouse to inspect the grain for the people of Suzhou."

The Du family has been in the rice grain business for decades, and there is no problem with the grain.However, this doesn't mean that no one has done anything to deliberately frame the Du family.

Mrs. Du didn't dare to make a promise, because he didn't know how far his daughter would go.Now that riding a tiger is difficult, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and personally lead Xu Yihuan to the rice warehouse for grain inspection.

After Xu Yihuan checked, he confirmed that there was no problem with the grain in the rice warehouse.Then, he randomly selected two branches, and the food in the store was also no problem.

Although Xu Yihuan confirmed that there was no problem with the Du family's rice grain, the business of Baoji Rice Shop was still much worse than before.

In the Spring Snow Garden, Yang Jiming told Shang Jiayan all the things outside, and both of them sighed.

Shang Jiayan sighed: "Auntie is proud in her bones."

Yang Jiming said: "I never knew that my aunt still had such a side, it's like getting to know her again."

Shang Jiayan wanted to say that my aunt has probably always been like this, but you don't know it. "I got to know Auntie again, what do you think?"

"What can I think? She is my own mother, and this will never change."

Shang Jiayan smiled lightly, his brows and eyes curved.

Yang Jiming frowned slightly, "Although it seems that my aunt did this, and she seems to be deliberately making grandpa think so. But why did my aunt do this?"

He had a guess in his mind that it was Wu Jin who made my aunt not hesitate to deliberately anger grandpa.

Shang Jiayan poured him a cup of tea, "Just ask Auntie."

As Shang Jiayan expected, when they asked, Aunt Du answered.

Aunt Du told them that she and Wu Jin were in love with each other, but Mrs. Du disliked Wu Jin as just a boy and strongly opposed their being together.

Just at that time, the old man Du got on the way of Wu Muhou's mansion and wanted to marry his daughter to Wu Muhou as a concubine, so Du Baode forced Wu Jin to let Aunt Du give up on him.

Wu Jin knew Aunt Du very well, and he knew what to do to make her give up.

He invited Chunmei, Aunt Du's most trusted maid, to cooperate with him in acting.He clearly knew that if it was another woman, Aunt Du might analyze rationally and calmly coerce and lure the woman to back down.

After Aunt Du finished telling the story, she said to them: "Everyone chooses his own path, and he chose to give up our relationship. But fortunately, I have three young masters, and the past is the past after all."

"Auntie is open-minded."

"When I tell you this, I also want to remind you that you must know how to cherish the people around you and understand the principles of persistence."

"Don't worry, Auntie, we will remember."

Aunt Du smiled gratifiedly, saying that having a son is everything.
