"I would like to teach you all, uncle... Chen Ping is tall. Others may ask me, my family is so poor and you and your wife are so thin, but what did Chen Ping eat to grow so tall..."
"At that time, I was angry that Chen Ping was idle all day long and did not manage the industry or help the fields, so I told everyone that Chen Ping was just eating chaff. It would be better not to have such a brother-in-law!"
Chen Ping's abandoned sister-in-law is not pretty. Although she is not as dark as Uncle Chen standing behind her, her hands are rough and she wears a hairpin and a sarong. Her eyes are slightly swollen and red from crying, and there is a trace of vagina in her words.
Spicy.
At this moment, she, Uncle Chen, and Chen Ping were all standing in the "township school" which was used as the office of village officials and where cases were heard. Among the misfit Zhang Bo, the three old men Zhang Fu, and the Qin man Youyou Heifu.
In front of the "Three Tribunals", Sister-in-law Chen seemed a little trembling, but she still explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly.
The so-called chaff is the bran skin left over from pounding rice, which can be used to feed pigs. Mrs. Chen is scolding Chen Ping as a fattened pig, but other people’s pigs can be slaughtered for meat in the twelfth lunar month, and her own pig
What can pigs do? This is a bit ugly.
She said aggrievedly: "In the end, Uncle Chen heard this."
Sister-in-law Chen turned her head and looked at Uncle Chen who was still angry. She said with a tearful voice: "He actually ignored the relationship between husband and wife for more than ten years and drove me back to my parents' home. He also said that he wanted to divorce my wife..."
After saying that, she bowed to Hei Fu and others: "That's what happened. As for the stolen sister-in-law? There is absolutely no such thing! I already dislike Chen Ping, how can I be with him..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Chen's face turned red. She turned around and cursed at the crowd gathered around the gate of the township school: "I don't know who's family is the one whose mouth is full of shit!"
"Shan, just make things clear. Just stand aside for now."
The stingy man Zhang Bo nodded and said to Hei Fu sitting beside him: "Youyou, are you satisfied now?"
According to the system of the Qin State, it is Zhang Bo's job to hear lawsuits, collect taxes, and judge cases. But the previous two or three cases were just thefts and injuries that did not work, so it is understandable that Heifu, who is responsible for restraining thieves, got involved.
.
Moreover, when they tried cases, they did not judge according to Qin laws, because no one, from Zhang Bo to the people in the whole village, understood the laws of Qin. Killing without teaching was called cruelty, so the Qin court sent legal officials to spread the law.
Previously, local cases were still governed by Wei Su, and Heifu was not too demanding, and everyone cooperated happily.
But this case came out of nowhere.
Originally it was just an ordinary matter of divorcing one's wife, coupled with the rumor that Chen Ping "stealed his wife". Things like this happened in the lanes of the countryside and in the melon fields and plums. Which month doesn't happen two or three times?
Heifu, who was supposed to have nothing to do with this matter, seemed to have been given a shot. He first went to Zhang Fu, the third elder, and talked to him about the Qin King's emphasis on male and female ethics. In Qin's laws, illegitimate men and women cheating on each other and having affairs were punished.
Anyone who is caught must be convicted, and a brother-in-law who steals his sister-in-law must be severely punished...
These remarks made Zhang Fu pay attention to this matter. The Zhang family calls itself a family of poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, and music. Confucianism is very sensitive to the defense between men and women within the family.
"You You are right, we must not let Qingfu and mourning Jiang spread in our hometown!"
So the two of them approached the stingy man Zhang Bo. One was moved by emotion, the other by reason, and finally reached this "unprecedented" three-official trial in Humo Township.
In the past half month, although Hei Fu was still not very good at speaking, he could already understand 70% to 80% of the local dialect. Zhang Bo asked him if he was satisfied with Sister Chen's confession. Little did he know that Hei Fu had heard it for the second time...
The day before yesterday, after hearing Zhong Ming tell the gossip about "Chen Ping's stolen wife", he immediately asked Zhong Ming to continue to inquire.
Later, it was discovered that most of these rumors were groundless, and they became more and more outrageous. They said all kinds of nonsense. On the contrary, the real neighbors of Chen Ping's family denied the matter.
"Sister-in-law Chen has always been at odds with Chen Ping. She has always disliked him for not managing the property. She would frown every time she looked at him. When Uncle Chen was not around, she would scold Chen Ping loudly in public. How could she have an affair with him?"
After learning the inside story, Heifu quickly took people to Mrs. Chen's natal home in the name of routine patrol.
Facing the uninvited Qin official, Mrs. Chen's brothers were frightened, and Mrs. Chen also tremblingly explained the cause and effect of the incident.
After careful investigation and confirming that Chen Ping really did not have a wife-stealer, Hei Fu decided to go to Chen Ping's house to have a look, so he saw the poor courtyard. It was even poorer than when Hei Fu first came to this era. It turned out that the future prime minister of the Han Dynasty
Chen Ping really started from humble beginnings.
After meeting Chen Ping and being amazed by his handsome appearance and decent manners and manners, Heifu made up his mind even more.
"Chen Ping, this is an important figure in the Chu-Han Dynasty and the first historical celebrity I met. Although his intelligence and temperament are not fully mature, I asked him to owe me a favor early. Maybe it can come in handy in the future...
…”
Besides, since the rumor that Chen Ping stole his wife is indeed a false rumor, it would be quite fun to think about helping Chen Ping get rid of this "unique injustice through the ages".
But this matter cannot be cleared up by Mrs. Chen's confession alone. Heifu asked Zhong Ming to help him tell Shifu and the three elders, saying that Uncle Chen and Chen Ping would have to explain it separately.
"These Qin people have so many rules."
Zhang Bo was a little impatient. In the past, when they tried cases, they didn't use any Wei laws and just used local customs and etiquette to make a judgment. But Zhang Fu secretly pulled his sleeve, and Zhang Bo asked Chen Bo and Chen Ping to
People talk.
Uncle Chen was a farm boy with a bad temper and a vulgar speech. His confession was completely biased towards Chen Ping. He was unwilling to mention the rumors about the so-called "stealing sister-in-law". At the same time, he insisted that Mrs. Chen was unkind and unfaithful, so he divorced her.
abandoned.
"Having a wife like this is worse than not having one at all!"
After concluding her confession with these words, Mrs. Chen became furious and began to curse Uncle Chen, saying that he had no conscience, and it seemed that the two enemies were about to fight in the hall.
Zhang Bo was furious and was about to have someone pull the rude couple away. At this time, Chen Ping, who had been silent all this time and looked back and forth between Zhang and Heihu, suddenly stood up thoughtfully.
He plopped down, knelt down in front of his brother and sister-in-law, and said with a heavy pause: "Brother, sister-in-law, please stop arguing. All of this is Chen Ping's fault."
Uncle Chen and Mrs. Chen stopped scolding each other and looked at Chen Ping.
Chen Ping raised his head, his originally shrewd and wise eyes were filled with tears.
"Ping's parents died when he was young. It was his uncle and his sister-in-law who single-handedly raised me up. My brother doted on me and kept me from working in the fields. I wanted to study, so my brother scrimped on food and clothing and bought books for me. I wanted to study abroad.
My brother borrowed money from everywhere to help me study abroad. For more than ten years, I worked hard without complaining and never said a harsh word. In my eyes, my brother is like a loving father!"
Uncle Chen was a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, why are you talking about this?"
Chen Ping shook his head: "I kept these words in my heart in the past, but now, if I don't say them, it will be too late."
He looked at his sister-in-law, then paused and said: "The same is true for my sister-in-law. From my uncle's point of view, my sister-in-law always scolds me for not doing my job properly. It sounds very unpleasant, but the scolding is the same as the clothes and shoes on Ping. Didn't my sister-in-law sew it up bit by bit day and night? Whenever there was any damage, my sister-in-law would first scold me for not cherishing it, and then immediately help me mend it..."
The handsome young man touched the patched linen clothes on his body and said emotionally: "My family is poor, with only thirty acres of thin farmland. Life is not easy. And I have a brother-in-law who is not involved in the industry. I have no resentment. That is a saint!" Besides, when my sister-in-law scolds me, she does it for my own good in the final analysis, because she is afraid that I will really become a scoundrel with nothing to do. So in ordinary eyes, my sister-in-law is like a strict mother!"
After these words, Mrs. Chen, who was originally full of contempt for him, couldn't hold it anymore. She turned her face away, her eye circles became red again, and Uncle Chen sighed, not so impulsive anymore.
Chen Ping continued: "If you treat your brother and sister-in-law equally as your parents, and your brother-in-law has no children, why don't you treat your brother and sister-in-law as your own children? But as the proverb goes, a loving father and a loving mother will often lose their children, but the elder brother is already kind. If the uncle and sister-in-law are not stricter, the supervisor will reprimand them. I, Chen Ping, am really going to become a useless person! I can’t repay the kindness of raising you. Don’t say a word, even if it’s ten or a hundred words, Chen Ping has to listen. So brother, you don’t have to be angry, just for that one sentence. If my sister-in-law doesn't care, she will abandon her and divorce her."
Chen Ping pointed to the blood spots on his shoulders that were pinched by the hemp rope, and said with a choked voice: "Ping went out to carry firewood today, and then I realized how hard the life of my brother and sister-in-law is on weekdays. Ping swears an oath to the sky, from today onwards Get up, work on your own, and you will never be like before, doing nothing, not taking care of the property, and letting the whole family bear the burden on your brother and sister-in-law!"
After saying that, Chen Ping bowed his head for the third time and begged: "The reason why a family is a family is that the husband and wife love each other and the brothers are filial. How can a family be a family without one thing? Brothers and sisters have helped and supported each other for many years, but we can't do it just because of a few things." They suddenly separated because of trivial matters. In front of the village officials and elders, Ping begged his brother to take back his words of divorce, and also asked his uncle and sister-in-law to forgive Chen Ping and come home."
"Brother, what are you doing..." Uncle Chen didn't expect that his younger brother would persuade him to get back together in public, and he was a little at a loss.
"Brother-in-law, you...why are you doing this?" Seeing that my uncle finally came to his senses and claimed to take responsibility for the family, Mrs. Chen was no longer as aggrieved and resentful as before, but felt a little sorry for him.
After the enemy couple looked at each other, they immediately looked away, but their attitude seemed to be slightly relaxed. As a couple, although they would inevitably fight and kill each other on weekdays, after more than ten years, they have developed a family relationship and started fighting at the bedside. End of bed and.
Seeing that the two of them were moved by his persuasion, Chen Ping smiled and said, "I hope my brother and sister-in-law will consider it."
Then he stood up, flicked the dust off his body gracefully, and bowed respectfully to the Zhang brothers and Mr. Hei.
"Chen Ping's family affairs are a big worry for you all!"
"There is nothing bigger than family matters in the world. If this matter can be solved here, it will be a good deed. As a disciplined elder, I would like to do this."
Zhang Fu's expression has changed from the initial disdain for the "sister-in-law thief" to surprise. At this moment, he is full of admiration.
Heifu also secretly admired him, thinking: "When he was young, Chen Ping was indeed far away from the image of a conspirator in my impression. Although he can't see his future posture, he was extremely sensitive to opportunities.
Those words of admonishment to my brother and sister-in-law seemed to be spoken with emotion, but in fact, every word must have been carefully thought out in my heart."
Heifu looked at Chen and his wife, who were no longer in power, and then looked at the gate of the township school. Those township party people whose mouths were open, and their eyes changed from disgust to sympathy and admiration, felt that Chen Ping was even more impressive.
"This public trial, which was supposed to be led by me, to clear his grievances, has now become a stage for Chen Ping to cleanse the villagers of their bad impression of him?"
The dispute between brother and sister-in-law was originally the source of Chen Ping's slander. This boy immediately found the key point of the conflict and untied the knot, and the slander was self-defeating.
Although he didn't find many opportunities to play, Heifu was not worried but happy:
"This Chen Ping is a bit interesting!"

ps: I am too tired from running around these days. I got up late. After a good sleep, I feel recovered. The second chapter is at 16:30. In addition, there is a lot of controversy about Chen Ping, but July is indeed written according to historical records.
Yes, Chen Ping, this is a typical example of a good doctor with 30% of his shares. He entered the society with the ambition to conquer the world, but he was tricked many times by slanderers and pig teammates, and finally became a black man. When I have free time, I will write a special
