"It's true! Good men don't fight with women. You marry a wife to love her, not to beat her," said the Yamen servant.
"So you are a bitch! After being beaten, you still spoke for your wife. One day, no one will know about your death. If they know, no one will remember you. You will still laugh at you. Look, is your life worth it?
value?"
"Sir, I am willing to give her a chance to repent."
"You are very caring and give her a chance to repent, but human nature is not easy to change. She will regard your kindness as a sign of your cowardice, and she will definitely get worse and make your life worse than death. If you don't believe it, just wait and see, but
, if you are beaten to death or injured by your wife, and it affects your work, you will be fired, and someone else will be hired to take your place. You go find another job, and don't affect the official affairs of the yamen. If you are beaten and disabled, you will be fired.
The officials will not sympathize with you because they have already told you the consequences. Generally, the male is the perpetrator of domestic violence, but it is the opposite in your family. It is not the fault of others. If you are to blame, you have to blame yourself." Tang Lu said.
"Sir, what you say makes sense, what should I do, little one?"
"It's very simple. You have to teach her a cruel lesson and let her know how powerful you are."
"Sir, how can I teach her a lesson?"
"When you go back, hit her, slap her in the face, just don't leave any wounds, let her feel pain, but don't let people see that she was beaten. Or punish her by kneeling down, or spank her, you have a way, often deal with criminal suspects, you
Is there nothing we can do?"
"This, this, I can't do this! I really can't do it!"
"It's really hopeless! If you can't do it, then I'll do it for you. However, I want to arrest her and have her go to court to be punished. Are you willing?"
"This, this..."
"If you have concerns, then that's it! How about letting another officer fight and you avoid it?"
"Yes, you are very considerate, so I can avoid it. However, when you order someone to hit her, don't be too harsh. Otherwise, it is a minor matter, and I will have to serve this grandma."
The officer said.
"Okay, don't worry, I have my own discretion." Tang Lu said.
After the yamen officer retired, Tang Lu issued a warrant to arrest the person. Soon, the yamen officer's wife was caught and whipped twenty times in public.
The yamen servant was eavesdropping outside. He felt distressed and nervous. He was worried that he would be implicated. He immediately walked away. When the beating was over, there were blood marks on his back and blood was oozing out. It looked very painful. She usually beat her.
People never thought that they would be beaten, and that they would be beaten so hard.
The unruly daughter-in-law of a government official was thrown into prison and locked up with her virtuous daughter-in-law.
Tang Lu went to visit and found out that the virtuous wife was Yang Wuguo's daughter-in-law. When he inquired about it, he knew that Yang Wuguo had married a good daughter-in-law. Good people are rewarded with good things. If you get a good daughter-in-law, your life will get better and better.
"Mr. Yang forced my mother-in-law to death? I wouldn't believe it even if I beat her to death. She has always been virtuous, never had a quarrel with her, never blushed, and was submissive. This is obvious to all. Everyone thinks so and praises her. They all feel that they must learn from Yang."
The old villager said.
"I prove that Yang is the one I will marry in the future."
"What? You want to marry her?" Tang Lu asked.
"No, I mean, if you are looking for a woman to marry, look for someone like her. She is such a good woman. A virtuous wife is hard to find even with a lantern."
"I understand, you are saying that you think it is impossible for Mrs. Yang to force her mother-in-law to death?"
"I never believed it. Only mother-in-law forces her daughter-in-law. How can a daughter-in-law force her mother-in-law? We often see Mrs. Yang being scolded by her daughter-in-law, but we have never seen Mrs. Yang say a dirty word. Yang realized that with such a good daughter-in-law, he can feel at ease.
make money."
"So, Mrs. Yang is always obedient to her mother-in-law and would never force her to die?"
"Yes, we all think so. If she forced her mother-in-law to death, all the mothers-in-law in our village would have died long ago. Haha!"
Tang Lu nodded, thanked them, and left them. After investigation, he learned that it was not true that Yang forced her mother-in-law to death. So, there must be a reason why Yang did not change her story and insisted that she forced her mother-in-law to death.
, we must design to find out the truth.
After thinking about it, Tang Lu decided to use the yamen servant's wife as a tool to find out the truth. Tang Lu threw the yamen servant's unruly wife into prison and imprisoned her with the Yang family.
As soon as the unruly daughter-in-law arrived in the cell, she began to cry out in pain. Yang felt frightened when she saw it. It turned out that this place was really not a place for human beings and she should leave. However, she had already taken full responsibility for her mother-in-law's death, which was caused by herself.
So it may not be easy to change your mind.
Mr. Yang comforted his unruly daughter-in-law and took care of her. The unruly daughter-in-law cursed, "I've been in trouble for eight lifetimes!"
"What's wrong?" Yang asked.
"I was beaten by that crazy Tang Lu."
"Why did I hit you?"
"I want to know too."
"Why is this happening?"
"Yes! This is a fucking stupid officer. Maybe he sees me as pretty, and maybe he has fallen in love with me. Since he has fallen in love with me, he should cherish her, so why would he be willing to fight him? This guy! I'm so angry with him!"
"What to hit with?"
"Beat with a whip."
"How many shots?"
"How many? I was in great pain, so I didn't even count. I just heard the whipping officer shouting. It seemed to be twenty at the end, so I stopped beating her." said the unruly daughter-in-law.
"That's a bit cruel."
"It's more than a little cruel! It's simply too cruel! I can't swallow this breath. I must never end it with Tang Lv. You don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face. When you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner. This Tang Lv is not a human being. He dares to do such nonsense! How unreasonable!
!”
"Why don't you look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face?"
"Oh, my husband works in the county government as a servant. Doesn't Tang Lu know this? I think he is pretending to be confused on purpose," said the unruly daughter-in-law.
"Then did you see your husband in the hall?"
"Strange, he's not here! Where did this dead man go to have fun at the critical moment?"
"Perhaps there is official business?"
"Anyway, since I'm not here, I don't care about any official or maternal duties. He should show up at that time. As long as he's here, I'll be willing to be beaten," said the unruly daughter-in-law.
"Then you have a good rest. It seems that we are in the same boat!"
"I think Tang Lu is just a confused official. I have no problem with beating or jailing me. After all, I often beat my men, so they deserve to be beaten! But you are different. I don't think you are a bad person. Why are you being arrested and put in a cell?"
Are you here?"
"You don't know. I'm going to die anyway, so it's okay to talk about it. My husband has gone out to do business with his father-in-law Yang Wuguo. My mother-in-law is at home, and I will take care of her. She can still move around, and she has some good looks, and she is well-dressed.
I'm still handsome. She doesn't do anything every day, and I'm busy all day long, just because my father-in-law and husband are away, so they can rest assured to make money to support the family. I can bear all the hardships, I can bear all the sins, and I live my life carefully every day.
I work at sunrise and rest at sunset, never delaying. My mother-in-law puts on makeup and makeup every day and goes out often. Anyway, she doesn’t have to do anything. I do all the dirty and hard work. One morning, I finished cleaning the room and then prepared to do it.
At breakfast, I walked to the bed to say hello to my mother-in-law. This is something I do every day. I didn’t think much about it, so I went to say hello. Then I made a meal and invited my mother-in-law to eat. When I was saying hello that day, I saw my mother-in-law.
In front of my bed, there was a pair of men's shoes. I was stunned. I didn't dare to say anything and quietly exited. I already knew in my heart that because my mother-in-law was dressed up in a colorful way and her charm was still there, someone would definitely take a fancy to her and start.
Contact, I can't see it outside, forget it, but now that I'm at home, I feel it's a bit too much. My father-in-law is working hard outside to make money to support the family, but my mother-in-law has a fire in the backyard and cuckolds her father-in-law. This is unbearable.
If my father-in-law knew about it, wouldn't he be very angry? This time, he was bumped into by me when he came home. He might also be bumped into by someone outside. I knew that the matter was serious, but I kept it secret and never disclosed it to anyone. My mother-in-law
Knowing that I knew about her stealing, I was so ashamed that I hung myself from a beam with three feet of hemp rope. I saw my mother-in-law commit suicide. If I tell the truth, my mother-in-law's reputation was completely ruined. After she died, she was stigmatized as an unchaste woman.
People, then, have a very strong reputation. I don’t know if my mother-in-law is dead. It’s uncomfortable for the living people. It’s really uncomfortable to carry such a sign. So I bear all the blame and claim that I was the one who forced my mother-in-law to death. This is good for everyone.
, even if I were sentenced to death, it would not affect my reputation. I took this secret to the grave and got the reputation myself, as long as I did not let my mother-in-law get the reputation. It was out of this consideration that I admitted it. In fact, it was not right for me to force my mother-in-law to death.
If it exists, that’s what the land security guards said in order to shirk their responsibilities to complete the task, but that’s not the case,” Yang said.
"Oh, that's it! I read that right, you were wrongly accused. In fact, it's no wonder. It's your fault. The old witch died unjustly. She's so old, but she's still pretending to be young and showing off to seduce the old man. It's really
Shameless! If it were, I would have plunged into the well and died. Is there any shame in living in this world? Enjoy blessings every day, but you don’t know the blessings in the blessings, and instead make trouble. This is very uncomfortable. You married Yang Wu
If you live well, you must live well. Missing a man every day is crazy. It’s not that your husband won’t come back. He didn’t abandon you. It’s because you don’t have self-respect. You want to go astray or hang yourself. No one can stop you.
There are many ways to commit suicide by hanging from a beam, and this one is worth studying. Your mother-in-law is really cruel, and she succeeded in one attempt." said the unruly daughter-in-law.
"No one expected this! I originally confessed, but Tang Lu didn't believe it and wanted to get to the bottom of the problem. I'll tell you the truth. I believe you. You won't tell anyone, including Tang Lu. Then I will tell you this secret.
Take it to the underworld. If you have a chance to meet my husband, tell him the truth and prove that his wife did not force her mother-in-law to death. She deliberately took over the job in order to preserve her reputation, confessed, and then convicted and sentenced.
Those who are sentenced to death must tell Yang Wuguo about this matter. Now that everyone is gone, it’s okay to talk about it and let him make preparations. When he marries a wife in the future, he must keep his eyes open and don’t marry the wrong one. Marry the wrong one.
If you marry the right wife, you will have a lot of troubles. If you marry the right wife, you will be busy every day. Remember, don’t forget, you can talk about the actual situation after you are released." Yang said.
After Yang finished speaking, a group of people broke in from outside. The unruly daughter-in-law was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt down. She was completely frightened.
Lifting Mr. Yang to the hall, it was Tang Lu who was sitting in the hall.
Tang Lu said: "Ms. Yang, what you just said is known to me and has been recorded in the record. Take a look. If there are no problems, sign it. If there are no other problems, announce your resignation. Go back! Okay.
Bury your mother-in-law, then clean the inside and outside, and continue to do housework. When your father-in-law and husband come back, I will administer justice to you. After you go down, I will issue you a certificate to prove that you are innocent. In addition, again
I will give you fifty taels of silver tattoo to make your life a little better. I know it will take some time for your father-in-law and your husband to come back. I will definitely not have the money on hand to bury your mother-in-law. You can use the money to do things.
If there is any surplus, you can keep the flowers for yourself, do you understand? As for your mother-in-law's affair, I will not mention it and will seal it in the file. You can rest assured."
"Thank you, sir! There is another person in prison. I wonder if she can be released? She has been whipped and her back is bloody. She urgently needs to be released from prison and taken good care of." Yang said.
"You mean the unruly wife? The wife of the yamen servant?"
"Yes, he is locked in the same cell with his little daughter." Yang said.
"Okay, I will listen to you and come and bring the woman up," Tang Lu said.
As soon as the unruly daughter-in-law arrived at the court, her body began to tremble.
"Do you know your guilt?"
"My little girl is guilty."
"What crime?"
"Insulting the imperial official!"
"This official doesn't care. It's normal for an official to be scolded by the masses. If everyone agrees, the official should be careful. There is absolutely no such thing in the world. You know whether you are doing well or not, and you don't need to be judged by others. When you are an official
It is inevitable to make mistakes in governance. If you make mistakes, it is good to correct them in time. If you scold me, as long as the scolding is reasonable, I will listen and find a way to correct it. If it is unreasonable, I will also listen. Look at what I have done.
The key to doing well is to have freedom of speech and not to worry. You scold because you want me to do better, and it also means that I need to improve in some areas. As long as the criticism is good and there are reasonable suggestions.
, it should be improved, it must be good, otherwise, you don’t have to listen, it’s just nonsense. You criticized me because I learned from private surveys that you are strong and unruly, unwilling to be a good wife and mother, but just talk
As an old lady, no one can tolerate you being so vulgar and rude. Maybe your husband has the right to defend himself. However, your husband is conscientious and has made great contributions to the county government." Tang Lu said.
When the unruly woman heard this, her heart trembled. What happened? This tone seemed to mean that her husband was no longer alive. No wonder he was not there when he was beaten.
When the unruly daughter-in-law thought of this, she began to cry bitterly. Her wails shook the world and moved people.
Tang Lu asked her to cry as much as she wanted!
After the girl finished crying, she said, "Sir, tell me, where is my husband's body? The daughter of the people went to bring him back and bury him."
"What a mess! I didn't say your husband was gone. What did you think?" Tang Lu asked.
