"The folk girl will never hit him again! Without him, the folk girl can't live."
"Why?"
"In the past, it was the daughter of the common people who was bad, and he should not be beaten. Only when he was beaten could he taste the feeling of being beaten. After all, he was an errand in the yamen. If he was beaten often, he would not be able to go to work. There are people at home.
No one else dares to bully the county government. This civilian girl sees it more clearly," said the unruly wife.
"As long as you know your mistakes and can correct them, I have decided to reward you with fifty taels of silver. As your compensation, you receive the silver and live a good life. Don't cause trouble again. Otherwise, you will encounter a confused official again.
Punishment may be a spanking, but you have to be careful, a spanking is much more painful than a whip."
"Thank you, sir. The daughter of the people has remembered it and is determined not to hit the husband of the daughter of the people again, and to live a good life and be filial, like the Yang daughter." said the unruly daughter-in-law.
"Okay, you sign the record, collect the money, leave, and go home." Tang Lu said, stood up, retreated to the back hall, and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, start feeding the fish.
The fish grows slowly, but it doesn't matter. It's not well fed, as long as it can survive.
While I was meditating, there was movement outside. A group of government officials came in, bringing a monk with them.
The yamen servant was the one who was beaten by his wife.
He wanted to avoid the case, so he eavesdropped at the door for a while. Then he got hungry and wanted to buy something to eat, so he arrived at a hotel.
He asked the waiter to bring a plate of cooked beef and three bowls of Zaoyang Lutou's Difeng rice wine, which was better. There was also a place where the rice wine was produced in Fangxian County and was also very famous. Unfortunately, the taste was still better than Lutou's rice wine.
After careful consideration, I ordered this wine to the waiter.
While I was eating, a monk came in from outside. He looked very unstable. He shouted carelessly: "Waiter, I'm starving to death. Come quickly, oh, no, give me a big plate of pig head meat for this poor monk. I'll serve it later."
There are two jars of fine wine, go quickly, quickly, quickly, don’t wait any longer.”
"Master! Those who order first here must be on a first-come, first-served basis! Master, please be patient," the waiter said.
The monk was impatient and continued to urge: "Everyone is here, so why should they be served first? Hurry up and serve me the food!"
When the yamen servant heard this, he was very upset. How could the monk do this? He wanted to meddle in other people's business, but it was better to do less than to do more. Look again, this monk is not simple, he has a good background.
"Master, please wait a moment!"
"Come on! I'm starving to death. Bring the pig's head and the wine. Otherwise, if I lose my temper, you won't be able to bear it. I will smash your place to pieces and make you a cripple."
"
"Don't rush, don't rush, it'll be ready soon!" the waiter said, quickly moving around and running around.
The monk stood up in a leap, took three steps and two steps in front of the waiter, grabbed the waiter's collar, and punched the waiter. The waiter felt that there were stars in his eyes. After punching him twice, he fainted and fell to the ground.
, the monk punched and kicked the waiter until he was almost alive.
Seeing that someone was about to die, the yamen officer stood up and said, "Stop!"
The yamen servant roared angrily, frightening the monk. Seeing that the yamen servant had injuries on his face and was wearing official uniform, the monk immediately gave in.
The waiter said: "Please seek justice for me!"
The yamen servant saw that the monk was not a kind person, so he thought to himself whether his judgment was wrong, so he should take it back to the county yamen and let Mr. Tang Lu judge it!
So he grabbed the monk and said, "Come with me!"
The monk had to obey and do as he was told, because the government officials had already made preparations.
He was tied up and brought to the county government office.
As soon as Tang Lu saw this monk, he felt that he was fake because he was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and small eyes. He was not serious about people, and he liked to do small things. Judging from the physiognomy, he must be a bad guy.
The law of Tang Dynasty is silent.
I wanted to give him a try first, otherwise I wouldn't be able to control him!
Thinking of this, Tang Lu shouted loudly: "Bold monk Hua! How many Buddhist precepts does drinking alcohol and eating meat violate? Tell me!"
When the monk heard this, he immediately panicked and looked around, just wanting to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. This question had to be answered, and he really had no choice, so he said:
"have no idea."
"What? As a monk, you don't even know this basic common sense, and you still brazenly say you don't know. How do you have the nerve to say you don't know? The Buddha has embarrassed you so much. Say, where are you a monk?"
"Here, here, at the Iron Buddha Temple."
"What? Iron Buddha Temple? Where is Iron Buddha Temple?"
"In the western suburbs of Gucheng."
"Nonsense! Tiefo Temple is in Xiangyang County. You are really good at telling nonsense! Don't you know that Tiefo Temple is not in Gucheng?"
"I'm sorry, sir. I was frightened and fainted just now. Tiefo Temple is in Xiangyang. I remembered wrongly. It is in Xiangyang."
"Okay, even if you remember it wrong, tell me, since you became a monk at Tiefo Temple, do you have the certificate? Without the certificate, how can you prove your identity?" Tang Lu said.
The monk quickly took out the ultimatum from his body. As a monk, he handed the ultimatum to the master. The master handed the ultimatum to Tang Lu. Tang Lu took the ultimatum, looked at it for a long time, thought about it, and gave the ultimatum to the monk.
"Pa--" he slapped the ground and said, "Someone, put this monk in jail and listen to the notice. He will be tried again tomorrow."
That night, Tang Lu sent his officials to the Tiefo Temple to ask the abbot if there was such a monk.
The abbot said: "There is this monk, but he doesn't look like the one described."
"What image?"
"There is a portrait here. You can take it back to look at it and compare it," the abbot said.
The monk in this portrait has light eyebrows, a small mouth, and no beard. In addition, his figure is also thin. He is a literary monk, not a martial monk. There is also a difference in age. The monk in Tiefo Temple is very young, unlike the description
The age difference is also very big.
"Then the monk who was caught is not a monk from your temple, but he is the one who holds the ordination. Right?"
"right."
"Then, it's very possible that the monk in your temple lost his ordination, was picked up by someone, and pretended to be a monk, right?"
"This depends on the government's detection capabilities. I also want to get the news and give an explanation to the monks. We look forward to finding out the cause as soon as possible so as to eliminate everyone's constant panic," the abbot said.
"There will definitely be results." The Yamen servant said, and then said goodbye to the abbot and returned to Gucheng County.
The yamen servants sent by Tang Lu quickly arrived at the county government office and went to the back hall to report to Tang Lu.
After hearing the report and looking at the portrait, Tang Lu said: "This man is a murderer."
"Why?" the yamen servant asked puzzledly.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. You have worked hard and run around. Go home and have a good rest. Comfort your wife. She said she will change. If she has changed, you can tell me tomorrow. If not, then I will
I was deceived by her, and I will deal with her when I have the opportunity. For now, I can't take care of her, so let's leave it alone for now. If she changes completely, I won't embarrass her. After all, she is your wife. After all, that's it.
Ask her to support your work, and don't lose the big for the small, lest everyone be passive. There are many cases in the county, and there are many other affairs to be busy with. If all of us are beaten up by our wives, then
The county government can no longer function. It is better to kill as a warning to others, to show the chickens to the monkeys, and to show the wives of those government officials who are ready to take action. The government officials are also human beings and are not targets of abuse. Of course, I believe that most of them are good.
, only a small number of people are bad." Tang Lu said.
"Thank you, sir, for helping me repair my wife. Fortunately, she didn't find me. She happened to not attend the court ceremony and didn't see my wife being whipped. If she were in the court, she might not have met that fair-weather monk. She wouldn't have met him."
There is no lawsuit against the fair-weather monk. Obviously, the fair-weather monk is highly suspected of committing the crime. What the young wife does is small things, and she can find out big things through her. This is also her function. In addition, she suffered
The whip is also an example to other shrews. If you are not good to your man, you may be whipped. This is the era. Not all women belong to men, but half of them belong to men. However, most men do not want to rely on their eloquence.
Those who go to war are fighting for their strength. With strength, it is easier to talk. Without strength, bragging will not work. This case has given us a lot of inspiration, that is, equality between men and women is not just a matter of words, but must be practiced.
Only by practicing it in the family can we get happiness. If there is inequality, there will be many problems. It doesn't matter if the little one is beaten, as long as it can bring about her change, it is worth it. If she doesn't change, the beating can continue, and the little one will face more problems.
A lot of tests." said the Yamen servant.
"Yes, we can't let women take the lead. Otherwise, if a woman is in charge of the family, it will be fine if she meets a woman who can discipline herself. If she is not a woman of self-discipline, then she will do whatever she wants, and it will definitely be a mess." Tang Lu said.
"Thank you for your advice, sir. I will go back now."
"Okay, I still need to consider the case carefully. You go ahead!"
The yamen servant returned home and saw his wife.
When his wife saw him, she cried. He quickly comforted him, and his wife said, "Where did you run away? Your wife was beaten up by the county magistrate today."
"Really? Why fight?"
"It's not because of you!"
"because I?"
"Yes, didn't I beat you? I was injured and there were marks on my face. I don't know who reported it to the county. The county magistrate was very angry. After checking, he beat me up."
"How?"
"Use a whip."
"Oh my dear wife! It hurts to hit people with that whip. Once, when we were on a mission, someone used that whip to hit a bad guy. As a result, he accidentally hit the back of my hand. It hurt so bad. It felt so uncomfortable.
It's far more injured than the one you hit me with," the yamen servant said.
"How can I really hit you when I hit you? It's normal for a husband and wife to fight and fight. As for me, I didn't beat you to death. If I hit you hard, you would die. People say that beating means kissing and scolding, but I
It wasn’t a real beating. If it was a real beating, I would either sentence him to death, or it would be manslaughter. If not, he might remarry.”
"Yeah, what you said makes sense. I know you hit me because you love me, but can you stop treating me with such strong love in the future? I simply can't stand it anymore," the yamen servant said.
"I don't dare to hit you anymore. If I hit you, some bastard will meddle in other people's business and sue you. Then the county magistrate will take action again."
"What? Make a plank?"
"Yes, Master Tang Lu said that if I hit you again, I'll hit you with a stick next time."
"Ouch! Beating with a whip only hurts the skin. Just rest for two days. If you hit the board with a board, you may break a bone. There is no one who can't get out of bed for three months. If you hit the board with a board, you will break the bones. That's it.
Sorry, that is a very painful punishment!" said the Yamen servant.
"Ah! I didn't know it was so powerful!"
"Then if you hit me in the future, please do it gently, don't let anyone hear it, and don't leave any scars, okay?"
"If we don't fight, if we don't fight, if we fight again, I will die," said the government servant's wife.
The yamen servant was extremely happy, but he tried his best to hide his inner ecstasy. He sincerely thanked Tang Lu for helping him get rid of his bad temper. He wished he had sued the official earlier!
"If I don't do well, you can still beat me. If I were in court today, I would definitely plead for you and I would not whip you and make you suffer."
"Forget it, it's over. It's useless to say more."
"Hey, I really can't bear to let you get beaten, but every loss must have a gain. Today I arrested a fair-weather monk. Mr. Tang appreciates it very much. I will start the trial of this case tomorrow."
"A monk who eats meat and drinks meat? Since he has become a monk, why do he miss the world of mortals? Since he has escaped into Buddhism, why do he still eat meat and drink alcohol to break the Buddhist rules and regulations? This monk seems to be returning to secular life."
"You don't know this anymore. He must be a fake monk. He brought an ordination certificate, which was issued by the Iron Buddha Temple in Xiangyang. I went to the Iron Buddha Temple in Xiangyang. The abbot said the ordination certificate was from their temple, but the man was not.
He also provided a portrait so that you can tell at a glance that he is not a monk from the Iron Buddha Temple."
"Then he is a fake monk. How did you find out?"
"I didn't pay attention at first, but then I saw him beating the waiter, and I got angry. When I saw him, he didn't look like a good person. So I took him to the county government and threw him in a cell."
"So that's it! We should check. Maybe the real monk lost his ordination, and he picked it up, and he used it to trick him into eating and drinking. Is he stupid? He doesn't know that real monks eat fast and chant the Buddha's name? Still
You have the nerve to go to a hotel to eat meat and drink wine!" said the yamen servant's wife.
"Yes, it will be clear after looking at the trial tomorrow. I guess you are right."
That night, the government servant took good care of his wife, and his wife was very satisfied.
Early the next morning, the yamen servant went to the county yamen hall and reported the situation at home. When he talked about his wife's change, he became very excited and talked non-stop. Tang Lu knew that he was very excited, so he patiently listened to what he had to say.
, and then said to him sincerely: "You probably won't be beaten in the future. Live a good life. Don't give in blindly. Be principled. Don't be led by her. You are the head of the family. She is not. She is just yours."
The helper is your assistant. Don't listen to her arrangements in everything. You can listen to her suggestions. However, the decision-making power is yours. You should not be a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't care about anything. As long as it is you who should take care of everything, big or small,
If you can manage it, you still have to control whether a woman can appear in public. If a woman is in charge, what does that mean?"
