Seeing that the officer still looked serious, she apologized hastily and promised not to cause trouble again.
Just at this moment, the master came out of the back hall, and the hall became increasingly quiet. The master straightened his clothes and sat behind the dark table. He glanced at the paper and asked, "Where is Yao Qiushan?"
Yao Qiushan's heart was heavy and he took a step forward.
The master looked at him and ordered the master to call witnesses. Immediately, several people in cloth clothes entered the door. Two of them had patches on their clothes. One look showed that the family was not well-off.
Several people came forward to kowtow, and the elder asked about Hu Yi'an's fall from a height.
"The pedal was too thin. Someone fell off it three years ago. That person was not very lucky. He broke his neck when he landed and died on the spot."
When the worker mentioned this, Yao Qiushan's eyes were full of anger, but at this moment he did not dare to speak out to stop it.
Next to her, Yao's mother saw that the situation was not good for her son, and she was trembling slightly with fear. Upon seeing this, Father Li took him into his arms and comforted him gently.
When Mother Li saw it, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If she and Wormwood stood together, she would not exist in the man's eyes. He couldn't bear it anymore and there was no need to bear it anymore. If something happened to her, the man would welcome Wormwood in immediately, and
Luo Meiniang's words that a man would harm her just to marry Wormwood came to mind again. Since the man was so cold-blooded, she thought she didn't need to worry about her old relationship anymore. While the Lord was thinking deeply, she took a step forward and kowtowed.
"Sir, the women of the common people have a grievance to complain about."
Your Excellency is reviewing a case. Logically speaking, you should not take the case at this time. He frowned when he heard this.
Father Li saw his wife's face of determination, and the eyes she glared at were full of resentment and joy. His eyelids twitched, and he began to feel uneasy. He hurriedly said, "Madam, your Excellency is asking a question. Don't talk nonsense. We have been husband and wife for so many years."
, no matter what others do to you, I will never harm you, you believe me."
The last sentence is a double entendre.
Li's mother complained, just on impulse. When she met his sincere eyes, she immediately backed down and swallowed nervously, "I"
Your Excellency is at the top and has a clear view of the situation in the hall. He immediately noticed the couple's quarrel and Mother Li's withdrawal.
There are many cases in this world that cannot be handled according to law because the victims were threatened or moved by themselves. Many times, just like Mrs. Li at this moment, she adheres to the fallacy that family scandals should not be publicized and does not go to court, just like that.
Feeling aggrieved.
It's fine if you don't know. If you know, you will never allow this kind of thing to happen. He asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?" Seeing that Li's mother refused to speak, he said again, "As the parent of the local people, I should serve you."
Redress your grievances. If you have any grievances, just speak up."
Mother Li took a step back and refused to say anything more.
Seeing this, Father Li stepped forward and said, "My wife wants to protect her children, so she talks nonsense. Please forgive me."
Mother Li's face was full of grief and anger.
Seeing that she had no intention of speaking, Chu Yunli took a step forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the commoner woman was the daughter-in-law of the Li family before, so she can guess some of her former mother-in-law's thoughts." She spoke rapidly, like a barrage of words.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Father Li, "This is my ex-father-in-law. We ordinary people have not seen much of today's scene, so we must be scared in our hearts. But he hugged another woman to comfort you. I believe in this relationship between men and women."
Pure friendship? If I say that there is innocence between these two people, probably no one in the hall would believe it, and I probably wouldn’t be able to bear any woman becoming my ex-mother-in-law."
Father Li stared at her as if he wanted to eat someone. "It's none of your business." He explained to everyone, "Ai Cao is my friend's widow. Back then, Brother Yao and I were not biological brothers, but we were better than biological brothers. Let's go out together.
If you ask, you will know how much I have taken care of their mother and son over the years."
Chu Yunli mocked, "Don't mention any more words about brotherly love. They say that a friend's wife should not be bullied. You directly took care of his wife and asked Master Yao to help you raise your son for so many years before he died.
I will give you my wealth. If he knows something, I am afraid he will be so angry that he refuses to be reincarnated."
In the last sentence, she told the truth.
Father Li's eyes were about to burst, "Stop talking nonsense."
Chu Yunli was not afraid of him, but asked, "Which sentence I just said was a lie?" She looked at Mother Li, "Mrs. Li, haven't I reminded you of what I have experienced? Do you really believe that the men of the Li family are sincere? Do you want to die?"
When the time comes to make room for other women, your man belongs to him, and your children will have to call her mother instead of mother. He has more than one son, so he will definitely give the family business to whoever is obedient."
Listening to this, Mother Li felt that it made sense.
If something really happens to her and the eldest son becomes suspicious again, he will definitely go against his father at every turn. By then, Li Yuan will definitely not like this son who has caused trouble for him. If this continues, he is afraid that he will really destroy all the Li family's business.
Give it to Yao Qiushan.
Even if the eldest son is not suspicious, as the old saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Li Yuan has been thinking about Wormwood for many years and always felt that he owed them mother and son. He was not allowed to give up the family business.
And Hua Ping would definitely be dissatisfied because of this, and the father and son would also turn against each other. Thinking of this, Mother Li shuddered. Without hesitation, she took two steps forward and complained, "Sir, this man personally admitted that Yao Qiushan was the one he and Ai
Born from grass, in the past few years, in the name of taking care of the son of an old friend, he has given a lot of money to the mother and son. The woman is really irrevocable for the man's feelings, and the woman only hopes that the adult can recover the money he spent on outsiders.
"
Mother Li believes that she must clearly understand how deeply a man cares for mother and son before she can truly give up.
The Lord frowned and looked at Father Li and Ai Cao, who had just moved away from each other after complaining intimately just now. He nodded and said, "I have accepted it. I will send someone to Yao's house to check the accounts later."
Father Li ""
He scolded Mother Li, "Why do you bother me about the matters between us husband and wife?"
"In addition to our husband and wife, there are other people mixed in." Mother Li's eyes were filled with disappointment. "Li Yuan, your treatment of mugwort is not what you say at all. Maybe you don't feel it when you are in it, but we...
Outsiders can tell at a glance that your heart and eyes are focused on her, and I am your wife."
Even now, many people in the city know about the affair between Mr. Li and Ai Cao, and there are a lot of secret discussions. Ai Cao still doesn't want the adults to go home to check the accounts.
If the Yao family's accounts were checked because of such a thing, what would happen to her?
It's a trivial matter for someone to say dirty things and make fun of her. I'm afraid many people will think that she is a dirty woman who defrauds men of their money, or even a prostitute.
The more Ai Cao thought about it, the more flustered she became, and her eyes could not help but turn red. Father Li saw this and wanted to come forward to comfort him but did not dare.
Seeing the hesitant look on her man's face, Mother Li became angry again. She felt no regrets and was determined to find out the matter.
The adults began to ask about Hu Yi'an's fall from a height again.
At that time, many laborers saw with their own eyes that Yao Qiushan really didn't pay a penny when he was treating his injuries. It was also true that he fired Hu Yi'an a few days later.
Because he almost lost his life and many people knew about it, he had no way to defend himself.
There was also the IOU, and the people from the gambling house were also there. The owner of the gambling house quickly pointed out that his steward made the decision secretly, and he did not force such a debt, and he did not even know about it.
In the end, the owner of the gambling house escaped smoothly, but Yao Qiushan was sent to jail on the spot.
When walking out of the court, Ai Cao cried so hard that she couldn't stand.
At this time, in order to avoid suspicion, Father Li did not dare to come forward, no matter how worried he was.
Seeing Ai Cao in such miserable state, Mother Li felt happy in her heart and advised with "kindness", "Don't worry too much. Once the matter of you cheating my man out of money is found out, you mother and son should be in jail soon."
Meet again."
Hearing this, Ai Cao was startled and even forgot to cry. She glared at Mother Li, "We have been in love for so many years, why do you have to kill them all?"
"I treat you as a friend, but you sleep with my man. Do you have any feelings?" Mother Li said with contempt in her eyes. "Comparing yourself with your own feelings, if I slept with your man, would you be able to feel at ease?"
Ai Cao bit her lip and did not argue with her. Her eye circles became even redder.
Father Li couldn't bear it anymore, "Madam, I've told you a long time ago that the relationship between mugwort and I was just a coincidence at the beginning. I didn't mean it. If you want to blame, just blame me."
"Idiot." Mother Li pointed at mugwort, "This woman clearly plotted against you, but you took the blame on yourself and said you were stupid. That is an insult to the word "stupid"."
At this time, Chu Yunli and Hu Yi'an strolled out of the courtroom. When she heard this, she smiled and said, "It's not that men don't know the key to this. It's just a deliberate calculation and a smooth flow."
"Shut up." Li's father believed that without the ex-daughter-in-law's fueling and instigation, the matter between the couple would never have gone to court. Luo Meiniang was just a troublemaker, deliberately disturbing the Li family's peace of mind. But his wife still couldn't see it.
Toru, wholeheartedly follow her ideas.
He scolded his wife, "You are the idiot. Can't you see that Mei Niang is taking revenge on us and deliberately stoking our feelings?"
Mother Li could tell, but what the man did was so irritating that she couldn't bear it
Before Chu Yunli left, he reminded half-truthfully, "Maybe Mr. Li is not the only one who suffers."
Mother Li immediately thought of something else.
Li's father angrily said, "You are also a woman, why do you want to ruin someone's reputation with your mouth?"
Chu Yunli asked rudely, "How do you know this is not true?"
Wormwood ""
She was used to being gentle and would never come forward when a man was around. She only hesitated for a moment, and when she wanted to speak again, the young woman had already walked away with her fiancé.
In the prison at this time, Li Hualin saw Yao Qiushan being escorted in.
He had heard about this from Chu Yunli before. He was a little skeptical at first, but he really saw someone. He had to believe it.
The father really had a new home outside, and he had taken care of the mother and son for many years. Not to mention how the mother would react when she found out about this, he was very angry anyway.
He suppressed his anger and asked, "Qiu Shan, how did you get in?"
Yao Qiushan was imprisoned not far from the next door. Hearing this, he spat, "Damn, meeting a mad dog biting me and not letting him go is simply a misfortune."
Li Hualin's eyes flashed slightly, and he came closer, "Come, tell me in detail." After a pause, he added, "This prison is very boring. If you don't find something to talk about, you will be driven crazy."
While he was asking questions, he carefully looked at Yao Qiushan's features, trying to find similarities with his father and son.
After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't find it. He was murmuring again in his heart, could it be that woman Luo Meiniang was talking nonsense?
Yao Qiushan didn't want to talk much, and was thinking about how to get out. The matter of abusing laborers was almost unchangeable. Maybe he could get away with a little more money, no matter what his reputation was, as long as he didn't go to jail. What he was worried about was other things.
After thinking about one thing, he tentatively said, "Brother Li, I recently hired a villain. Those people outside just made up a random story between my mother and your father."
He frowned and said, "Those words are so dirty, I'm embarrassed to say them."
Yao Qiushan didn't know that Li Hualin had already received the news in advance, thinking that he was in prison and had no information, so he didn't know about these things.
Li Hualin looked angrily, "How could it be possible?" He rolled up his sleeves, "See if I don't tear those people's mouths apart."
Yao Qiushan felt relieved, "Brother Li, don't be angry. The person who arranged this is your wife. She also said that your father secretly subsidized my family a lot of money. Logically speaking, these words are simply outrageous. No.
Someone should believe it. But everyone in this world likes to hear about romantic affairs, and they will make up some stories even if they have nothing to do. Your mother seems to have believed her nonsense, and she really begged you to go to my house to investigate." He said more and more.
The angrier she became, "After checking this kind of thing, how can my mother have the dignity? She has been a widow for my father for many years, she is the most loyal, but she ended up in this kind of thing."
At this point, he looked annoyed and slapped himself hard, "It's all because of me, an unfilial son, that she suffered the disaster."
The implication is that Luo Meiniang said these words deliberately to make her fiancé angry and ruin his reputation.
"It is said that women know women best. Luo Meiniang's action simply drove my mother to a dead end. The most important thing is that she has nothing to do with anything that happens to my mother." Yao Qiushan's eyes were blood red. "Brother Li, why did you do that?"
I didn’t kill this poisonous woman”
Li Hualin waved his hand, "Don't mention that woman is too treacherous, I can't handle her."
Both of them have feelings for each other.
Yao Qiushan came closer and said casually, "Brother Li, we have been brothers for many years, can you send a message to your mother to advise her not to be taken advantage of?"
Of course Li Hualin refused. He didn't believe what Luo Meiniang said about Yao Qiushan being his half-brother, but he didn't believe Yao Qiushan either. In other words, he had long been dissatisfied with the fact that his father was not related by blood and yet he had the nerve to stick to it.
There is a blood-sucking person in the Li family. He is eager to add some trouble to it.
If you are reluctant to spend your hard-earned money yourself, why should you spend it on others?
It would be best to convict both the mother and the son. In this way, the Li family would lose two excellent relatives.
Outside the Yamen, Ai Cao left crying.
Father Li stared at the direction of the carriage, the worry in his eyes almost overflowing.
When Mother Li saw it, she became angry again. At this time, she was thinking about other things. Luo Meiniang's words just now, "Father Li is not the only one who suffers" were swirling in her heart, and she couldn't get rid of them no matter what.
She ignored the man next to her, got on the carriage and left. She went directly to the street where Yao's house was located and asked questions to her neighbors and the concierge of the house opposite.
When the porter got the money and saw that the person he was asking about was not his master, he immediately told what he had seen and heard.
"There is a Mr. Lin, who only has two shops in his home. He often visits him. I heard when I was young that Mrs. Yao would stop by to see him when she returned to her parents' home."
"There is also Mr. Zhang. I heard that Mrs. Yao often goes to his appointments. Mr. Zhang has sent materials here. When I was young, I saw that they are all used by women. Men rarely use them. Even if there are, they are used by young people.
."
The last concierge, the oldest, pointed his fingers and said, "There were so many people in the past few years, and a gentleman would come every three days." Then he started counting them one by one.
Mother Li was shocked when she heard this.
There were several people here who had close contacts with the Li family, and they were all people who liked to flirt with women outside. Thinking of this, she was filled with anger. Other men knew how to get away in time, but that idiot of her own had such a secret prostitute in the palm of his hand, and even
I also love being a father.
In Li's mother's view, Wormwood is a prostitute. The only difference from others is that she is of a higher rank and the guests she receives are wealthier.
She rushed home angrily, found Li's father, and angrily said, "You are stupid, but you still don't admit it. There are so many men who associate with mugwort. I know seven or eight of them. Why do you think Qiu Shan is your son?"
