Su Laoquan slapped the Cheng family in the face with such a big slap, knocking their reserve and pride into pieces.
Cheng Mansion was naturally furious!
In the main hall, the bejeweled Mrs. Song broke everything at hand. A noble woman who had been arrogant since childhood had never suffered such an insult.[]
Downstairs, stood Butler Cheng, Mrs. Lai, and several accompanying women. Although her eldest son, younger brother, and cousin were sitting, they did not dare to speak for fear of becoming her punching bag.
Mrs. Song is a great beauty with a graceful figure and beautiful eyebrows. Otherwise, she would not be able to give birth to a handsome man like Cheng Zhicai. The only drawback is that her teeth are a little protruding, causing her lips to bulge, especially when she is angry.
It's obvious, it looks like the mouth shape that people usually use when blowing fire.
In physiognomy, this is called "blowing the mouth of fire", which indicates stupidity or cunning and changeable behavior, frivolous and vulgar behavior, and confusing the appearance of black and white.
Seeing that her face was livid at this moment, she gritted her teeth and said: "I opposed this marriage with a hundred objections! How could Jiang Qing's family marry the common people? Now you know, not only is the daughter a hen that cannot lay eggs,
The father is even more of a mad dog that bites people!"
"Now it seems that grandma is indeed wise."
"The Su family has sores on their heads and pus on the soles of their feet. It's really bad." Mrs. Lai and other women accompanying her quickly agreed.
Several men heard that they were going to talk nonsense to Che Lunlu until dark, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. They looked at each other, and it was Mrs. Song's brother Song Anzhi, the former magistrate of Qingshen County, who reminded her: "Sister, calm down.
, let’s figure out how to deal with it.”
"Yes, that monument has smeared our Cheng family a lot." Butler Cheng agreed: "The master will be furious when he finds out. He must quickly find a way to calm down the township dispute."
"Well..." Ms. Song finally nodded, put away her chatter and said, "You guys have to make up your mind on what to do now."
"It was the right thing to hide the monument overnight. In the past two days, there has been a steady stream of people coming to see it after hearing the news. We can't let it stand there anymore." Bi Daguan said brightly.
"No," Song Anzhi shook his head and said, "Once that monument is lost, no matter who did it, others will think it was done by the Cheng family. At that time, not only will everyone with the surname Su in Meishan be offended, but if they sue the Cheng family
If you 'dig their ancestral graves', you will be in big trouble." He was worthy of being a county magistrate, and his analysis was clear and logical.
"Are we just going to let that monument stand there and let people watch the Cheng family's jokes every day?!" Madam Song glared at her brother.
"Of course not." Song Anzhi smiled bitterly and said, "What I mean is that no one else can move that monument. The only way is to let the people surnamed Su do it themselves."
"It's a good idea. Even the people named Su can't stand it anymore. It can be seen that Su Laoquan's barking dog is unpopular. His words of slandering us are self-defeating." Butler Cheng said, stroking his palm: "Under the heavy reward, there must be someone.
Brave man, there are so many people named Su in Meishan, I don’t believe I can’t find anyone willing to earn this kind of money.”
So everyone agreed that Bi Daguan, Song Anzhi and Cheng Guanjia would go separately to find familiar people named Su, hoping to get them to come forward and remove the monument.
Who knows which family I found, and everyone shook their heads: "That's our genealogy monument, no matter how much money you pay, we can't do it!"
Some people were jealous of the money, and whispered, I can do this, but I have to do it when it's dark and no one sees me. You also have to make a note to promise not to turn me out afterwards. Butler Cheng and others
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, so why should I do it with you?!
At the end of the day, not only did no one agree to this, but he also had a hot temper, so he turned against them and yelled: "I'll give you money, you go dig up your grandfather's tombstone, and set a price!" Naturally, they
He will not hide it for the Cheng family, but will also go around to warn the clan members not to be obsessed with money and do things that hurt relatives, make enemies angry, make ancestors cry, and future generations scold.
As a result, the Cheng family not only failed to realize their wish, but their idea of destroying the Su family genealogy stele became known to everyone. Now the Cheng family became even more passive and had to send people overnight to guard the Su family's stele pavilion to prevent it from being destroyed.
People framed and framed.
This was Su Laoquan's clever trick. He first instilled the clan concept of sharing weal and woe among the clan members, and then wrote the big-character posters into the genealogy inscriptions, integrating them with the genealogy, so that no clan member would dare to become an accomplice of the Cheng family!
Of course, the Cheng family can rely on their strong power and use various pressures to force the Su family to change their minds, but that will take time. As time goes by, the inscription will be known to the world, and the monument will have completed its mission, even if it is destroyed.
What's the meaning of it?
The Cheng family didn't know that the best solution was to obtain Su Xun's forgiveness. However, the pride of Jiang Qing's family made them feel ashamed just to think about it.
They have their own rules of conduct.
So on the next day, Butler Cheng visited the Zhizhou Yamen with a lot of money in his pocket. He Xinyuan, the Zhizhou of Meishan, had a friendship with Cheng Jun, the master of the Cheng family, and took care of the Cheng family on weekdays. The Cheng family hoped to use him to force
Su Xun obeyed.
The Cheng family's reputation was there, so Steward Cheng walked unimpeded and entered the second hall. The messenger said that your order was talking to Zhou Daling of the county in the custody room and asked him to sit down in the side hall.
"Easy to say, easy to say..." Steward Cheng waited for a cup of tea in the side hall and sent someone to invite him to the custody room. He quickly straightened his clothes and went in to meet Lord Ling Yin. When he looked again, Zhou Daling was still there, and he couldn't help being secretly surprised.
, my heart said, which song is this suitable for singing?
After asking him to sit down, He Zhizhou said: "Mr. Cheng came just in time. I have a message here. Zhou Daling was going to send it to your mansion in person, but this will save him trouble."
"Tell..." Butler Cheng's eyelids twitched.
"Haha, that's it," Zhou Daling pushed a summons in front of him and said, "Su Baniang, a woman from this county, has submitted a copy. The defendant is your eldest son."
"..." Upon hearing Banniang's name, Butler Cheng's smile suddenly disappeared. Without looking at the summons, he said, "Da Ling, what is she suing my eldest son for?"
"The husband and wife are divorced and request a divorce."
"This..." Steward Cheng returned the summons and said in a deep voice: "How can the general accept such a petition? He even signed the summons!"
"As a small county magistrate, I need to ask the big housekeeper to teach me what kind of prosecutions I can accept and what kind of prosecutions I cannot accept..." Zhou Daling said with obvious displeasure.
"This!" Seeing that Zhou Daling, who was usually a brother-in-law, turned against him, Butler Cheng suddenly stopped caring: "According to custom, the government will not take over the divorce cases of Jiang Qing's family."
"You can find it for me which article and paragraph it contains in the laws of the Song Dynasty, and I will return the petition immediately." Zhou Daling said coldly.
"This..." Butler Cheng was a little confused, so he had to lower his attitude and said: "Please, for the sake of my master, please save some face for the Cheng family."
"If I save this face for your family," Zhou Daling sneered, "I won't be able to keep this black veil tomorrow!"
"This..." Butler Cheng looked pitifully at He Zhizhou. He Zhizhou, who had been watching the show, said to Zhou Daling: "Jianren, you are too angry. Go back and calm down first..."
"Okay." Zhou Daling stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I'll excuse you." After saying that, he grabbed the Wusha and went out without looking at Butler Cheng.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't be angry, Old Cheng." He Zhizhou then asked someone to serve Butler Cheng tea, then stood up and sat next to him and said, "That's what he is like."
"Don't you dare be angry, little old man." Steward Cheng calmed down, took out a thick envelope from his sleeve, put it on the table calmly and said, "I just want to please Yin Zhouquan, my family's face."
"That's natural." He Zhizhou said with a smile: "Your master and I have been colleagues for many years."
"Then, can this summons be withdrawn?"
"I'm afraid this won't work. The grudge between your two families has already become a heated issue. If the government doesn't accept the case, you will be scolded." He Zhizhou said with a helpless expression: "The only way to go now is to get the Su family girl to withdraw the lawsuit.
"
“How to withdraw a lawsuit?”
"Let your elder brother write a 'letter of releasing his wife'." He Zhizhou said: "It will not do any good to the Su family's wife if she goes to court. She will definitely withdraw the lawsuit."
"..." Steward Cheng fell silent. In fact, he is more than fifty years old. What has he not seen before? He Zhizhou and Zhou Daling, one is a white face and the other is a red face. Don't they just want to force their own family to make a big deal out of it?
It's a small matter. Has it become a trivial matter? Thinking of this, he looked embarrassed: "This kind of thing is not something that a young man can deal with. I have to go home and ask my wife."
"It's easy to talk about." He Zhizhou smiled and said: "I asked Zhou Daling to postpone the court date for a few days, which is enough for you to ask Master Cheng for instructions."
"Thank you so much for your kindness..." Butler Cheng responded with a heavy heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Heli? Let's just dream!" After hearing Butler Cheng's report, Mrs. Song categorically objected: "Su Baniang was born as a member of my Cheng family, and died as a ghost of my Cheng family! She wants my son to write about letting his wife go.
Book! Let’s live in the next life!”
"If you don't write it," Butler Cheng said casually, "We will have to go to court. If a couple gets to this point, the government will still divorce them..."
"My family won't go to court!" Ms. Song said in a shrewish spirit: "What will you do to me?"
"If we are absent, the government will directly agree to the Su family's claim based on abstention." Song Anzhi had no choice but to educate his sister on the law.
"I don't care, you must come up with a solution for me!" Mrs. Song said angrily: "How can the dignified family of Jiang Qing be allowed to be bullied by the common people!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. They were forced to do nothing by the Song family. Song Anzhifang said slowly: "Then let's make a counterclaim."
"Counterclaim?" Ms. Song widened her eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
"For example, accusing her of not being a woman and having no offspring." Song Anzhi said: "This is called 'countermeasure' in the officialdom. As long as the government judges us to win, Su Baniang will take over the team, and the Su family will no longer be criticized.
Sympathy. People will feel that they have been fooled, and naturally they will no longer believe what Su Laoquan said."
"What a great idea!" Mrs. Song suddenly said excitedly: "Hurry up and write the petition!"
