One is a little girl who has been brought up so crookedly that she doesn’t know how high the sky is, and can put her hands on her hips and curse at people who come to collect debts.
Secondly, the little girl is really average-looking. Boss Ma is ordinary-looking, and Ma Fan is not good-looking either. For several generations, the Ma Liu family has never produced anyone with an appearance that can be worth forty taels of silver in the eyes of the gambling house.
people.
Third, the girl is too young. Even if the girl is only seven years old and can really be used to pay off debts, she will have to be raised for a few more years. The gambling house is not a charity shop, and we do not engage in loss-making business.
There was no other way, as the granddaughter couldn't pay off the debt, so Ma Liu and his wife thought of marrying their daughter to the town.
Ma Liu's son-in-law was unable to have children, and he was indebted to Ma Liu's daughter for this. The son-in-law's family was also very 'tolerant' to Ma Liu's daughter because of this matter.
Ma Fan didn't know what Ma Liu said to her daughter and son-in-law, but she succeeded in getting back forty taels of silver to pay off Ma Laoer's debt.
But they didn't know that the debt was charged to the eldest son, and Ma Liu borrowed the money from his son-in-law in the name of Boss Ma.
As for Mr. Ma and his wife, they had no idea about this at all at the time.
The laws of the Kirin Kingdom are relatively complete. For debts that are not signed by the person himself or have his fingerprints pressed, they will not be counted, and a guarantor is required.
Mr. Ma and his wife had no idea about the debt. According to the law, this matter had nothing to do with them.
But the problem is, how do these two people know any laws? The most important thing is that they don't even know that they are owed dozens of taels.
Until the afternoon of the day when the incident occurred.
Ma Laoer's gambling habit has never changed. Even if all his family's money was taken away, even if there was the incident of forty taels, he would still be determined to move towards the gambling house.
When Ma Lao Er's daughter-in-law got married, her parents' family gave her some silver jewelry as a dowry. Ma Lao Er's daughter-in-law thought she hid it well, but she didn't know when Ma Lao Er had stolen it and used it as gambling capital.
It was that afternoon that Ma Lao Er's daughter-in-law wanted to dig out those jewelry for some unknown reason, and then she found out what Ma Lao Er had done.
Ma Lao'er's wife was not Ma Fan who could be beaten and scolded at will. She immediately got angry and cursed not only Ma Lao'er, but also eighteen generations of Ma Lao'er's family ancestors, and her descendants as well.
How could the Ma Liu couple, who loved Ma Laoer so much, endure this?
So, there was a scene where the next door family heard the quarrel between Ma Liu's daughter-in-law and Ma Lao's second daughter-in-law.
The incident involved the Ma Fan family. It was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were fighting each other. Ma Lao's second daughter-in-law was bald and told the story that Ma Liu borrowed forty taels of silver from her son-in-law in the name of Ma Lao.
He came out bald.
Mr. and Mrs. Ma, one is foolish and the other is cowardly, but everyone has their own temper, especially the longer they hold back their aggrievedness, the more terrifying it is for an honest person to get angry.
Ma Fan raised his knife and wanted to fight Ma Liu's wife. Boss Ma bluntly said that not only did he want to break away from the family, but he also wanted the money and food he had earned over the years.
That's right, the result is not very ideal, the anger is generated, but the strength is insufficient, plus the numerical disadvantage of two people versus one family...
Ma Fan was hit on the head with a stick by Ma Laoer and was almost sent away on the spot. Ma Laozi was pressed down by Ma Liu and his son-in-law and tied up with a rope in the woodshed.
The Ma Liu family even planned to sell Mr. Ma and his wife to an outsider in the town the next day. It is said that if it is a death deed, each person can be sold for ten taels of silver.
Boss Ma is strong and hard-working, just like Ma Fan, the couple can still work hard for another twenty or thirty years.
Judge Lu Tong frowned as he heard this, "Do you know who poisoned you?"
"I know, it's my sister-in-law and uncle-in-law."
Everyone present said: "???"
"My uncle can't have children because he was injured when he was fighting for the top spot in a brothel with an old man when he was young. The old man has already moved his family out of the town. No one knows about it now.
My father-in-law always uses this matter to ask for favors from my uncle's family, sometimes it's money, sometimes it's things.
That night when my husband helped me to go to the hut, we heard that my uncle had long endured my father-in-law's greed and brought arsenic, which he had already planted in the well at home. My sister-in-law wanted to have a child, and they wanted to take my son as their own.
child."
Judge Lu Tong's eyes flashed, and he glared in the direction of the woman, "You lied."
At this time, Jiang County Magistrate and the government officials were already standing at the door and listened a lot.
Jiang County Cheng had the same expression on his face and said: "You just said that your husband-in-law was tied up in the woodshed that night, how could you help you to go to the latrine? You also said that you were knocked down by Ma Laoer with a stick and almost died.
How can I get up if I lose my life at the hands of Ma Laoer?"
They couldn't see Piao, so they didn't notice it. Qi Baoer saw the woman Piao's expression changed drastically, and she shrank into a ball in panic.
Qi Baoer's celestial eye has the ability to know astronomy from above and geography from below, and to know the past and future generations. However, she was warned by her teacher in her previous life not to look at these things, saying that it would cause karma. She has become accustomed to the ability of the celestial eye to be sealed in dust.
And she really doesn't like to see someone too clearly. She has the feeling that everything around her is transparent. She may find it attractive at first, but over time it actually becomes boring.
Looking at Piao, a woman in front of her who was obviously very scared, but was so stubborn that she insisted on holding on to the truth even if her soul was shattered, Qi Baoer suddenly felt pity for her for some reason.
Perhaps, it is not she who is pitiful, but those women who are unable to resist regardless of whether they want to or not under the pressure of male dominance and filial piety.
"Your husband used a hatchet to cut the rope, intending to run away with you on his back. When you passed by the room of your sister-in-law and his wife, you overheard their secret plot.
Your husband thought that you and your wife had no place to stay after running away with no money, and that you were still injured and needed medical treatment, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation. He pretended that he didn't know about it, and after the whole family was poisoned, he stole the money from home and then ran away. "
Everyone looked at Qi Bao'er who was speaking strangely. Is this really the case? How did the Anle County Lord know?
The woman Piao became even more panicked and knelt down in front of Qi Bao'er, kowtowing endlessly towards Qi Bao'er.
"Master, master, please, please let me go. He is a good person. He has never done anything bad in his life. Even though he thought so at first, he later regretted it and went out to save people. Master, please let him go.
"
"Then tell the truth. As for whether it is wrong or right, there are laws in the world, rules in the underworld, and heaven's laws. We have no right to judge."
This is such a strong character... The way Lu Tongpan looks at Qi Bao'er now, his eyes are filled with starlight. The little person is standing upright, and it feels like she is covered with a layer of holy light at this moment.
Mrs. Piao was always quite honest, but now she didn't dare not to tell her. Anyway, people seemed to know it if she didn't tell her. It would be better to be frank and lenient if she told her.
Boss Ma did want to stay out of the situation and just take advantage at first, but he was not bad enough. Seeing that the family was about to start eating dinner when it was ready, his conscience still couldn't bear it.
The funny thing is that no one believed what he said. They all thought that he was framed because he was dissatisfied with his family, so they imprisoned him in the woodshed again.
