Flowers are expensive

Chapter 504 bite back

"Although my lord has made decisions for the women, my husband-in-law still lives at Liu Yuan's house. The women are so angry that they ran to ask for her!" Mo Xue said with a pitiful look, "Who knows that the women just As soon as they entered, a dozen or so of them beat the woman and the woman's mother with sticks! Look, my lord, the woman's forehead is still hurt!"

"My lord, she's just turning things upside down!" Cai Ning retorted, "No one wanted to do anything at first, but after Liu Yuan gave her the letter of divorce from Mrs. Dou's family, she still wanted to break in, so we did it now. That night Mrs. Dou's family was beaten with [-] sticks, and her back was bloody and bloody. Why didn't she take someone there? If it wasn't for my sister who spent money to take her back, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive the night She's not here to beg for someone at all, she's here to make trouble!"

"Nonsense!" Mo Xue hurriedly argued, "I was too angry, that's why I didn't take my husband back at that time! Which woman can not be angry when encountering this? Then I thought about it again. He still has two children, can't he live this day? That's why I wanted to come to him."

"Where is Dou Kui?" Master Lin asked the yamen next door.The clerk replied: "My lord, Dou Kui's injury is not serious, and he's still lying at Liuyuan's house!" Master Lin said again: "Go, bring Dou Kui here!"

Not long after, two yamen servants carried Dou Kui to the court.Na Dou Kui was still pale, unable to stand up even to salute.Master Lin said: "The ceremony will be waived, let's talk about it! Is it true or not that you thanked Mo Xue? Is it Liu Yuan's nonsense?"

Dou Kui lay on the stretcher and said: "The letter of divorce was indeed written by Liu Yuan, but it was the villain's own wish. Because the villain received thirty sticks, it is really not suitable for writing, so I asked Liu Yuan to do it for me."

"Why did you divorce Xie Moxue, who you have been in love with for seven years?"

Dou Kui cast a disgusted glance at Mo Xue who was kneeling next to her and said, "I have no relationship with her for a long time, what's the point of trying to live on?"

"What did she do wrong?"

"Returning to my lord, Xie Moxue is addicted to gambling, and I really can't be in the same room with her!"

Dou Kui's words immediately aroused heated discussions among the onlookers!Zhen Shi became even more excited, turned her head and shouted at Dou Kui: "You are talking nonsense! Why is my family Mo Xue addicted to gambling? You just want to divorce her because you have a brothel..."

"Silence!" Master Lin patted the gavel again, "Mr. Zhen, kneel down without asking you to speak!"

Zhenshi immediately shrank her head, and knelt there obediently.The courtroom became quiet again, but Mo Xue and Man Cheng who were standing beside them blushed with anger, wishing they could find a hole in the ground!
Lord Lin asked Dou Kui again: "So, you must give up Xie Moxue?"

"Please learn from me! Although Xie Moxue and I have been married for seven years, we were dissatisfied with each other early. She hates me for being a scholar, not as capable as her brother-in-law. You can win a Jinshi to shine in the family and let her do it. She is an official wife; and since she became addicted to gambling, she has lost all her family savings, so she has to move to Yucheng to work for others to earn money. I thought she would restrain herself when she arrived in Yucheng , who knew that the more she doubled her bets, the more she had to embezzle money from her sister's shop to pay off her gambling debts!"

"Ouch! She's a female gambler!" The onlookers became excited again, pointing at Xie Moxue.From her appearance alone, except for splashing a little, it's really hard to think of going with the gambler, so when Mo Xiang and Man Cheng heard it, they almost fainted!
Master Lin turned to Moxue and said, "Xie Moxue, is what your husband said true? If it is true, it is not an exaggeration for him to divorce you!"

The pale-faced Mo Xue hurriedly distinguished: "My lord, the women are not addicted to gambling. They just occasionally play with the sisters who work together. Have you ever gambled and lost?"

"My lord," Dou Kui interjected, "if your lord doesn't believe me, you can send someone to the gambling shop in Yucheng to ask! She owes a gambling debt of no less than 500 taels of silver there, and they all embezzle money from her sister's shop to pay off." Yes. In order to pay off her gambling debts, she asked me to make fake accounts to coax her sister..."

"Nonsense! You did it yourself, how could you blame me?" Mo Xue shouted at Dou Kui excitedly.

"I did the fake accounts, because you don't know much at all! But you asked me to do these things. If I don't do this, can the creditor let our family go? I've already given up on her." , until I came back to Yucheng and met Liu Yuan, I made up my mind to divorce her and live another life with Liu Yuan! And—" Dou Kui simply brought everything out, "She hated me for not giving her an exam. When a Jinshi came back, he secretly went to seduce her brother-in-law, and when her sister was pregnant, she often went to wander around other people's study rooms, but his brother-in-law was not that kind of person, so she didn't succeed..."

"You bastard! You are not human! Have you forgotten who paid for you to take the provincial exam? You bastard with no conscience!" Crazy!While cursing, she crawled over to beat Dou Kui, but the officials on both sides hurriedly stopped her.

Lord Lin had no choice but to pat the gavel again and shouted: "How can you be loud in the courtroom? Come, clap your mouth!"

As soon as the token was tossed, one of the servants raised his hand and slapped Mo Xue ten times, making her dizzy and tinnitus, lying on the ground speechless!Zhen Shi looked at the side anxiously and distressed, but she couldn't help anything.

Master Lin looked down at the pleading paper, and said to Cai Ning: "Xie Moxue's mother and daughter said that you beat them, do you admit it?" The two of them are just afraid that Xie Moxue will break into the backyard and hurt Mr. Dou's family."

"How is Liuyuan now?" Master Lin raised his head and asked the doctor next to him who was supporting him.The doctor replied: "The liu kite injured the head, and there is congestion in the brain. Although the old man uses silver needles to bleed, it will take a few days before he wakes up. After waking up, whether there will be other sequelae, the old man can't tell for the time being." .”

"Xie Moxue," Master Lin asked her, "Can you plead guilty?"

Mo Xue shook her head vigorously and said, "No! The woman doesn't plead guilty! My lord, the woman lost her hand in a moment of anger! The woman is looking for her husband, and the little bitch insisted on stopping her, so she did it. ..."

"Missed for a while? I'm afraid you want to bully others!" Cai Ning interrupted Mo Xue angrily and said, "At that time, your mother kept saying that she was a relative in Youwang's mansion. A Jinshi uncle named Tian Yisheng is so proud! Is there such a thing?"

Mo Xue bit her lower lip, not daring to answer.Zhenshi lowered her head tightly, pretending not to hear.Cai Ning said again: "We thought at the time, no matter what, we can't force ourselves to stand out because of the strong backing, so we discussed with Liu Yuan and invited Mr. Dou's family. The ruthless woman wanted to beat and kill everyone, and beat everyone to death if she saw anyone, if you don't believe me, let the master test us, all of us are wounded!"

Master Lin turned his head to look at Xixi, Xixi shrugged and said, "I don't understand the law, Master Lin, you can deal with it as you please. The emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone a relative of our Prince You's Mansion? Xie's family has some contacts with Prince You's Mansion, but you can't just bend the law just because of this. Lord Lin, please!"

Lord Lin nodded, and then said to Dou Kui: "Dou Kui, this matter is caused by you stopping your wife and remarrying. If you think carefully, you won't be punished, and you don't have to make trouble like this. Can you admit it?"

Dou Kui said: "Your Excellency's words are true! The villain didn't think carefully. If he divorced Mrs. Xie first and then married Liu Yuan, he would definitely not end up like this."

"Xie Moxue," Lord Lin said to Mo Xue again, "Let's just believe that you hurt Liu Yuan in a moment of anger. But anger is anger. It is an established fact that you seriously injured Liu Yuan. There is no way to refute it. Can you admit it?"

Mo Xue shook her head with an unrepentant expression on her face, "The woman doesn't admit it! If it wasn't for that little slut who stole someone, the woman wouldn't have done such a thing!"

"It's up to you not to admit it!" Mr. Lin then questioned several witnesses. Mo Xue's injury was undeniable. He immediately pronounced the sentence, beat Mo Xue with 60 sticks, paid [-] taels of Liuyuan soup and medicine, and sent him to prison two years!

When Mo Xue and Zhen Shi heard the verdict, they burst into tears.Zhenshi cried in panic, but Moxue cried because she felt wronged.Master Lin slapped the gavel and shouted: "This case is closed, don't make any noise!"

"My lord, please slow down!" Dou Kui said suddenly.

"What else do you want to say?" Master Lin asked.

"The villain and Mrs. Xie's relationship is over, and they can no longer be husband and wife. When the villain came, he had prepared a divorce letter," Dou Kui said, taking out a signed divorce letter from his sleeve and throwing it to Mo Xuedao, " The villain asks everyone present to be a witness, hand in the divorce papers face to face, and there will be no more entanglements from now on!"

After hearing this, Mo Xue jumped up, with red eyes and angry face, she wanted to rush over!Two yamen servants hurriedly pressed her down, she struggled desperately, and shouted: "Why should I be dismissed! Why should I be dismissed! I will kill you, Dou Kui! I will not go to jail! I will not go to prison! Let me go ! I'm going to kill him!"

All the onlookers shook their heads and sighed, accusing Mo Xue of being too vicious.Master Lin shouted: "Put it in custody, don't let her go crazy here!"

When the two clerks were about to escort Mo Xue away, Mo Xue got the strength from nowhere, pushed the two clerks away crazily, and rushed towards Xixi.Before she could get close, Xin'er kicked her to the ground!Master Lin hurriedly scolded the two yamen servants: "You are so stupid! What should I do if I hurt my mother? Hurry up and drag it down!"

Moxue struggled and shouted: "You guys are going to die! Xie Moxiang, you even made your own sister hurt you! My lord! My lord! Xie's family members are all traitors! They are all in collusion with Qingyuetang! They are traitors! "

When she yelled like this, the Xie family members present were a little nervous.Mr. Lin only thought she was talking crazy nonsense, and hurriedly waved his hands: "Take it down! Take it down! You will be in trouble if you startle your mother!"

"They're rebels! They're rebels from Qingyue Hall!" Mo Xuezhen was like crazy, struggling desperately and shouting, "Arrest them! Capture them all! They're all rebels! There's one who's on the run , Guan Changming is also a traitor!"

The Xie family all turned their faces away, pretending not to hear, but their hearts were pounding.At this moment, a man suddenly came out from the crowd and shouted, "Wait!"

Lord Lin looked up and saw a middle-aged man well dressed, so he asked: "Who are you? This is a court, how can you let you shout?"

"Let's go to Zuo Heng!" The man said with one hand behind his back and his chest raised.

"Zuo Heng?" Master Lin was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly got up and walked out of the case table, walked up to him and asked, "Maybe Zuo Heng, the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, if you dare to ask?"

"Exactly!" Zuo Heng replied with a faint smile.

The people present couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation, even Xixi was a little surprised.Mr. Lin was even more considerate, he hurriedly saluted and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Minister Shi Lang to come to this office in person. Please forgive me for my disappointment!"

"There's no need to gossip!" The man named Zuo Heng turned around and pointed at Mo Xue, "You just said that the Xie family is a traitor, do you have evidence?"

Mo Xue quickly broke free from the shackles of the two yamen officers, climbed up to Zuo Heng and said, "Yes! It's true! If you don't believe me, you can go to Yucheng to inquire! That Guan Changming was wanted by the Yucheng yamen, and he is the son of the Xie family Right now, the Xie family is living in a house called Yueyuan in the city, no, they are all here!"
