The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 118 Dalang, it's time to drink medicine

It is said that Wu Song was handling a case and arresting people in Shengmu Village, lower part of Yanggu County this day.

This case is also considered a strange case, because the murderer and the murdered woman were actually husband and wife.

The murderer used to help the boss of the gambling stall in the village to earn some money, and invited the boss to drink at home. Unexpectedly, the boss took a fancy to his wife and made words and molested her. Well, if you meet someone with a strong temper, you may be even more bloody.

But although this person was unwilling to be molested by the boss, but because of his cowardly temper, he was afraid of offending the gambling boss, so he just tried every means to persuade him to leave.

Later, the boss of the gambling stall never forgot to harass his mother-in-law several times. Although he went to look for it with a knife, he didn't dare to make a real move. How can I continue to hang out in the village?
Then the boss resorted to tricks, and after thinking about it in his mind, he actually divorced his mother-in-law with a divorce letter, and then went to hide in other places.

Unexpectedly, his mother-in-law has a strong temper, even if she was dismissed, she would not be the boss of the gambling stall, she took out the scissors to kill her, causing her own blood to splatter, but now the boss was scared and ran away, poor this woman, if the neighbors didn't find out If you save her, she will definitely die after shedding blood.

The boss, the governor, couldn't do anything, and he was afraid of getting a life lawsuit, so he didn't come to harass him again. This person ran back after getting news from other places.

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, if there is a reconciliation and divorce, there will be no relationship between husband and wife, let alone if he voluntarily divorces, the divorce will probably defile the woman, and it will affect the humiliation of the mother's family. If there is a woman in the mother's family, it will be difficult to marry.

Not only in this dynasty, but in all dynasties, and even later generations, the same is true. Once separated, no matter what the reason is, the law, etiquette, and morality no longer have a foothold.

This person actually thought the same way, but when he returned to Shengmu Village to buy melons at the entrance of the village, he couldn't help a few melon eaters saying that the excitement was not afraid of big things, and their words were full of gossip.

So he was so moved, he went to his wife at night, but she said, "Since you divorced and I was humiliated, why do you turn back?"

The two fought, but the mother-in-law refused. He was angry, thinking that he was afraid of the gambling boss and your wife, so he used a knife to scare him. The mother-in-law was violent and humiliated by divorce. Willing to follow.

If you miss, kill it!
There is nothing better than bullying the weak and fearing the hard, fearing the strong bullying the weak, and the weak wielding their knives at the weaker.

The Yanggu County investigation of this case was clear. There were witnesses from neighbors and physical evidence of the murder weapon. Wu Song came to get the man, but unexpectedly the man fled to the mountains.

Fortunately, there was a big insect cutting the path on this mountain recently. This person was afraid, so he ran back from the mountain this morning, when someone saw him coming, Wu Song led someone to catch him.

Now it was morning, Wu Song was sitting at Baozheng's house in Shengmu Village drinking after being arrested, but the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

why?Just because he thought of his elder brother, he knew that Pan Jinlian was romantic, and he was afraid of harming his elder brother, so he wanted to persuade his elder brother to reconcile, but he never expected to encounter such a case.

He knew that his elder brother was obsessed with Pan Jinlian, if he entangled him after they divorced, he would inevitably make mistakes again.

Bao was watching his words and expressions, sifted the wine and said, "Since Dutou has captured the murderer, why is he so unhappy?"

Wu Songdao: "I just don't understand this person. After leaving his mother-in-law alone, and humiliating his mother-in-law's reputation and his husband's family, why did he commit the crime?"

Baozheng smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? You can find out when you put on your headband and ask."

After a while, the man came up and Wu Song interrogated him.

The man cried: "I didn't want to, but the village stutters. Idle people go around, don't talk about the law, don't say right or wrong, don't say divorce letters and humiliate your wife, just play with it, the villain is deceived, and even made this big mistake." .”

When Wu Song heard this, he suddenly realized that if his elder brother reconciled, he should not go out to buy melons.

After eating and drinking, and resting for a while, Wu Song led the guards to escort the prisoner back to Yanggu.

For some unknown reason along the way, Wu Song only felt uneasy, in a trance, and hurried back to see his brother.

First go to the yamen to hand over the criminals. The county magistrate is overjoyed and rewarded with wine and food, needless to say.

After eating and drinking, Wu Song went back to the next room, changed clothes, shoes and socks, put on a new scarf, locked the door, and walked all the way to Zishi Street.

Arriving at the wooden building, he pushed the door twice but it didn't open. Wu Song raised his eyes to look at the sky, but it was only past noon. Then I heard the speech inside.

"Dalang, it's time to drink the medicine."

Wu Song's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, but what do you think?

It turned out that after he sat on the head of the capital of Yanggu County, he wrote a letter to the prince in the capital to report his safety, but the prince replied after a year later, the letter only had four characters, which said "should not drink medicine".

When Wu Song thought of it at this moment, the hairs on his body suddenly stood up, and the cold sweat soaked in an instant, and he immediately yelled: "Don't drink!"

Hearing an exclamation of "Ouch" from upstairs, Wu Song ran upstairs a few steps, only to see his elder brother lying ill on the bed, Pan Jinlian was holding a cup in his hand, looking left and right, with an expression on his face. Panic.

Although Wu Song was not careful, he knew at this moment that the pot contained medicine. He was afraid that the woman would overturn the soup, so he said: "Sister-in-law, why is brother so sick?"

Pan Jinlian choked up her sobs and pretended to cry: "Uncle, you don't know something, since your brother became very anxious and distressed the day before yesterday, he was sick for two days and was bedridden, so he took the medicine."

Wu Song nodded and didn't look at her, but slowly approached to look at his elder brother, only to see Wu Da's face was black and blood stained at the corner of his mouth, he wanted to open his mouth but couldn't speak, so he knew something was wrong.

Seeing him coming, Pan Jinlian cried, "Uncle, let's see if the medicine is cold, I'll warm it up and give it to Dalang."

Wu Song nodded, just as the woman was about to turn around, a hand stretched out to snatch it away. The woman was shocked, but she couldn't snatch Wu Song away, but half a cup of the medicine had been spilled in a short time.

Wu Song took half a cup of medicine and felt at ease, but seeing the woman stretched out her hand to grab it, he couldn't help pushing it aside, saying: "Sister-in-law, don't make mistakes."

Pan Jinlian panicked: "I care about Dalang's condition, why did uncle grab the medicine?"

Wu Song ignored it, and stretched out his hand to take out an ingot of snow-white official silver, which was not pickled and scattered like the ones in the market. After dipping the snow-white into the cup, it turned gray and black in just a moment. Wu Song's face changed drastically, and he said: " Sister-in-law did a good job."

Pan Jinlian's face paled immediately, she turned around and was about to run away, but saw Wu Song slapped her hand, and got used to the ground, angrily said: "Sister-in-law hasn't really recruited her, don't blame Wu Song for being so rude."

Pan Jinlian didn't say anything, she just cried loudly, and Wu Da weakly said on the bed: "Xi, Ximenqing..."

Wu Song rushed to the bed immediately after hearing the words: "Brother, which one is Ximen Qing?"

Wu Da took a moment to breathe before he had the strength to speak again: "The one who opened a herbal medicine shop... Ximen Qing."

After thinking about it, Wu Song knew that the shop was not far from the county government, so he always stopped by.

He asked the person's name, walked over and grabbed the woman: "What else can I say, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame Wu Song for killing people directly!" The woman's skirt went straight into the wooden floor.

Pan Jinlian was so terrified that she dared not hide any more, so she told Ximen Qing that she was raped by Wu University, that Ximen Qing was kicked until Wu University vomited blood, and that Wang Po planned to poison Wu University.

Wu Song's thick eyebrows were raised upright when he heard it, and he yelled: "I'm too angry!"

This is exactly: the love of sex and flowers is not willing to give up, and the conspiracy is only hoped for forever.Unexpectedly, Wu Er's saber head is more poisonous than arsenic.
