I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Wang's wife's face became terrified, why, why what she said was completely different from what she was going to say, "The woman did pay [-] taels of money from the account, but she didn't return the money to Yingsan."

"What?" Wang Gao exclaimed, and let go of Wang's wife's hand in disbelief. He never thought that his trusted wife would be obedient to him.

"So it was you poisonous woman, you were the one who killed me!" Ying San shouted.

"No, no, it's not me, I didn't, and I don't know why I said that. Husband, you believe me, I didn't mean it just now." Facing Wang Gao's questioning, Wang's wife shook her head quickly, her eyes were reddish, and she cried The pear blossoms were raining, refuting their own words.

Wang Gao's face was full of guilt, and he embraced Wang's wife again.That's right, how could he doubt his wife? She must have slipped the tongue just now.She is such a kind and virtuous woman, how could she covet that little money.

"I know, you must have accidentally said the wrong thing just now." Wang Gao comforted her softly, and looked up at the high-ranking City God.

A man, for the sake of his wife and children, can always stand upright no matter how difficult he faces.Looking at Chenghuang's strange appearance, he suddenly felt less scary, "Master Chenghuang, Zhuo Jing said something wrong for a while, please learn from me, don't wrong a good person."

"Right and wrong, I have my own conclusions." Ji Zihe was not influenced by him, and continued to ask Wang's wife, "Wang's wife, I will ask you again, where did you spend the fifty slings?"

Wang's wife hid in Wang Gao's arms, sobbing softly, without saying a word.She is a smart woman, knowing that Chenghuang's questioning is weird, no matter what excuse she thinks of, she will always spit out the truth when it comes to her mouth.It's okay to be fooled once, and she will never be fooled again.

Ji Zihe saw what she was up to, and was very angry.Did this woman take the court for something, thinking that she was in her back house, and she could expose everything by crying?This is the court, above the court, everything must be done in business.No matter how beautiful the cry was, Ji Zihe would treat it as if he couldn't see it.

He immediately slapped the gavel and glared, "Wang's wife, what have you done? Why didn't you take it seriously. If you don't speak again, you will be punished."

"My lord, my wife is timid. She must have been frightened, so she didn't dare to speak. For the sake of her pregnancy, please don't argue with her. If there is any punishment, the villain is willing." Bear it for her." Wang Gao begged.

"Hmph, what a coward, I think she has a guilty conscience. My lord, don't be fooled by this poisonous woman, I think she must have put money in her hands, that's why she acted like this." Yingsan shouted.

Ji Zihe's eyes narrowed slightly, Wang's wife's belly looked big, but the month was not enough, there was no soul to vote for, so it was still just a part of Wang's wife's body.Ji Zihe Wang's wife is just a soul now, even if she gets hit by a board, she will only suffer from flesh and blood, and it will not affect the fetus in her womb, so he has no worries.

"Buffalo head and horse face, pull Wang's wife away." Ji Zihe expressionless, reached out to touch the bamboo tube on the table.

There are four bamboo tubes on the desk, and each stick is filled with different bamboo sticks.Except that the first bamboo tube is filled with catching sticks, the other three bamboo tubes are filled with bamboo sticks representing playing boards.

A white-tipped lottery represents one stroke, a black-tipped lottery represents five strokes, and a red-tip represents ten strokes.

Ji Zihe didn't know what the courts of other city gods looked like, and he had never seen them.The officials of the City God Temple are still interns, and they also don't know what the former City God's court was like.And the above didn't have any regulations on this, so Ji Zihe had no choice but to follow his own ideas, and simply copied the county government's courtroom, but made some minor adjustments.

Compared with the imperial court, officials in the underworld are not so independent. Not only do the courts have no regulations, the underworld doesn't even have a decent law, and the judgment of cases depends entirely on the balance in the officials' hearts.After all, the cases that the underworld has to deal with are no more than those in the human world. There are many strange things. The taboos are different at different times and occasions, and the standards for judging cases are also different. It is impossible to follow the gourd.Originally, it is a waste of training time to be a priest and lead a mission. In order to win them over, the superiors will naturally not be too demanding.Therefore, no matter whether it is the priests of the heavens or the priests of the underworld, as long as they do not go too far, no one will take care of them.

Ji Zihe grabbed a black stick and threw it down.Niutou Mamian stepped forward immediately, and pulled Wang's wife away from Wang Gao without any mercy.Wang Gao knelt down and begged for mercy, Wang's wife turned pale, and was pressed to the ground by the bull's head and horse's face. Seeing that she was really about to be spanked, she complained in her heart that Ji Zihe was ruthless, but she changed her tune.

"Don't hit me, I'll do it, I'll do it." Wang's wife yelled.

"Stop." Ji Zihe said in time, and stepped aside.

Wang's wife is still in shock, but she has already considered it in her heart.It's just a few dozen hanging money, so what if she recruits, there's no need to be punished for such a small amount of money, at worst, just pay back the money.

"The woman paid [-] taels of money from the account and sent it back to her natal family."

"What, it's really you, why are you doing this?" Wang Gao looked at her in shock.

"At that time, our family had just started to improve. Although we had some money, [-] cents was not a small amount. My natal brother wanted to marry a wife and wanted to build a new house, so he found me because he had no money. I couldn't help it either. , sent the money to your natal family without telling you."

"You should discuss this matter with me. Why do you keep it from me?"

"I..." Wang's wife lowered her head, "After discussing with you, will you really take money to build a house for my brother?"

Wang Gao lowered his face, "No."

No matter how close his wife's natal family is, it is not his own family to Wang Gao, so why should he pay for his wife and brother to build a house.He can allow his wife to support his natal family from time to time, but he is unwilling to take care of all the affairs of his wife's natal family and let those people become his own parasites.

"I knew it would be like this. At that time, fifty dollars was not a small amount for our family. If I didn't use the banner of returning the three accounts of Yingying, how could I send the money back to my mother's family without telling you."

Wang Gao sighed, "Then Yingsan asked you to pay back the money later, why did you lie to him?"

"I have no reason to withdraw so much money from the account and return it to him. I can only procrastinate until I save enough money before returning it to him. I just didn't expect..."

"It's just that I didn't expect that your natal family is a bottomless pit, always asking you to help, how could you save money." Wang Gao sighed and hugged her again.She was always his wife, even if she lied to him and disappointed him, it was impossible for him to abandon her.

"My younger brother is the pillar of my natal family. My parents will feel at ease only when he is well. I can't leave him alone!"

"Since you married me, you are my wife. We should be the closest family. I really don't understand why you care so much about your natal family. Before we got married, what kind of hard life did you live in your natal family? Have you forgotten? They only care about your younger brother and treat you like a servant girl, but they don't treat you like a family. You are married to me, and I have never treated you badly. I wish I could hold you in my arms But you always put your natal family ahead of me, and I will be disappointed if you treat me like this." Wang Gao said seriously.

Wang's wife lowered her head, tightly grasped his sleeve, did not speak, and did not know what was going on in her mind.

"My lord, the matter is already clear, that is, they didn't pay back the villain's money, causing the villain to think too much, and finally died tragically. My lord, you have to make decisions for the villain!" Yingsan shouted.

Wang Gao looked at Yingsan with an apologetic face, "I'm really sorry, this matter is indeed our responsibility. Brother Ying, I'm willing to pay you back an extra [-] slings as an apology for you. What do you think?"

"I don't want to, don't talk about a hundred dollars, even if you give me a thousand dollars, it won't buy my life back! I'm dead, so what's the use of asking for more money?"

"I can return the money to your family."

"It's me that you owe money, not anyone else. So what if you pay back to my family, but not to me, I don't want to!"

"Then I will exchange the money for equivalent paper money and burn it to you?"

"No, I just want the forty hanging money, not paper money!" Yingsan insisted.

Now it's still a matter of forty pennies, it's obviously a matter of life and death.Just because of the forty hanging money, he was so mad that he couldn't swallow it.In his opinion, the Wang family not only owed him money, but also owed his life, how could they let it go.

Wang Gao's face showed embarrassment. He has been in business for so many years, so he naturally knows how to judge people's behavior.Now Yingsan's thoughts are roughly guessed, but he can't pay him his life, and he can't pay for it!

"I beg Master Chenghuang to be the master of the villain. This couple is the murderer of the villain. Please, Master City God, don't let them go." Ying San kowtowed to Ji Zihe a few times, expressing that he failed to achieve his goal. determination to quit.

Wang Gao and his wife were wronged, but they still retorted, "My lord, I am wronged. Ying San died because of his lack of tolerance. It was not because we did harm to him. It has nothing to do with us. Please learn from me, my lord!"

Ji Zihe felt a pain in his head, and this kind of dispute is really hard to judge, "Well, Yingsan, since Wang Gao owes you money and owes you a life, then you will be reincarnated in his family in the next life and let him Pay it back slowly."

As soon as Ji Zihe opened his mouth, the expressions of the three of them changed at the same time.Wang Gao and his wife don't want to have a son of a debt collector, and Yingsan, a creditor, doesn't want to call his enemy a father and mother.

"My lord, I don't like this villain. If I were to give them sons, wouldn't I have to take care of them when they get old? At that time, I might have to pay them back!" Yingsan shouted.

"Yes, my lord, please think again." Wang Gao and his wife said.

"Are you dissatisfied with my judgment?" Ji Zihe said unhappily.

"The villain dare not!" The three shouted in unison.

Ji Zihe snorted coldly, "In that case, the judge will pronounce the sentence. Yingsan, if you sue Wang Gao and his wife for owed money and life, then you will be reincarnated into their family, and it will be considered that they have paid your life back. I wish you all I hate this relationship, so I will deal with it according to the circumstances, and judge your fate to stop at [-] dong. When Yingsan runs out of [-] dongs, you will settle the matter at any time. When your relationship is over, Yingsan will return to you. Go to the hell and enter the wheel and go back."

The three of them wanted to say something else, but Ji Zihe didn't bother to listen to them, so he slapped the gavel and said decisively, "Closed the case."
