The atmosphere of joy in the Xue family obviously stabbed Xue Qingshan in the eye.
Unless he was hiding in the house, someone would tell him about Xue Tingxiang if he didn't meet anyone. This is undoubtedly digging his heart and eating his flesh. Seeing that his father also opened his mouth and closed his mouth, Xue Qingshan was heartbroken.
At this time, only with Widow Xue can he get a moment of peace.
He made two side dishes, boiled a pot of wine, and embraced the warm fragrance of nephrite jade. Sometimes when I think about Xue Qingshan, I also feel stupid. What kind of imperial examinations are I taking? It's not good to live a comfortable life.
"Come on, come and drink two cups with me." Xue Qingshan had already drunk too much, and his eyes were drunk.
Widow Xue gave him an angry look: "You're true, you don't drink free ready-made wine, you have to come and hang out with me."
Xue Qingshan pulled her over and gave her a kiss: "I'm not comfortable with you when I mix with those rough old men. I like to look at you now, and I don't get bored no matter how I look at it."
So why would Widow Xue be willing to follow Xue Qingshan, even if she wasn't as wealthy as before. Xue Qingshan is fair-looking, understands taste, has a sweet mouth, and is a scholar. Women don't eat this way.
"You lie to me with all your eloquence, you still have one at home, don't you face her every day?"
"Don't mention her, she's not as good as you, the flesh of her body is touching her hands, how can you be so soft and soft..."
This pair of wild mandarin ducks said something to me, and someone outside had already exploded.
Hearing a bang on the door, Mr. Yang rushed in, grabbed Widow Xue's hair, and started fighting. She was accompanied by a woman from the village, who was standing in front of the door at a loss.
"You shameless slut, who dares to steal my mother's man, and my mother will tear you apart." Yang scolded Widow Xue while covering her head.
Widow Xue was petite, and Yang was big and chubby. She was Yang's opponent, but in a blink of an eye, Yang was pressed under her body and beat her.
She was beaten to the point of crying for her father and mother, and repeatedly called Xue Qingshan to save her. Xue Qingshan originally planned to leave while the chaos, but he drank too much and was weak in his hands and feet. In addition, seeing Widow Xue so miserable, blood rushed to his brain immediately. He grabbed Yang's hand and slapped him in the face.
"Cause, is there enough trouble?!"
Yang Shi was stunned, this was the first time he beat her since she married Xue Qingshan. After being stunned, he felt even more grief and anger, and he rushed towards Xue Qingshan while crying.
"Come on, you beat me, you beat me to death. You shameless bastard, you are a scholar, and you even steal a bitch who is ridden by 10,000 people. You don't think it's dirty..."
Xue Qingshan rescued Widow Xue and fulfilled himself. He was beaten up and down by Yang, and his face was covered in blood when scratched.
"Oh, this is incredible." The woman who followed slapped her thigh and ran out in a hurry.
She ran all the way to the Xue's house, stood in front of the gate and shouted, "Aunt Zhao, your eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law have a fight, hurry up, if you don't go, you will be killed."
When Mr. Zhao heard the movement in the room, he subconsciously asked, "Where is it?"
"In Widow Xue's house."
After her snoring, many villagers soon knew that Widow Xue's small courtyard was surrounded by three floors and three floors. On the flowing water table at the ancestral hall, they also knew the news, and Patriarch Xue's face immediately turned gloomy.
He gave Old Master Xue a wink, but Zheng Lizheng stared at him, and asked with a smile, "Brother Xue, what happened? Look at how mysterious it is."
Patriarch Xue didn't smile: "It's just that the wife of the Lianxing family started arguing. I told him to go back and have a look."
Mr. Xue also hurriedly said: "No, that wife is really not a worry. I'll go now. Brother Haizi and Brother Lizheng, you sit first, and I'll come when I go."
As soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Zheng Lizheng: "Women's quarrels are not trivial, and sometimes this small matter can lead to a big disaster. How can I say that I am also Lizheng, although it is difficult for a clean official to interrupt housework, but also Can help to persuade not."
Patriarch Xue's face was even more ugly: "This trivial matter still needs you to come forward, let people know that it is time to laugh at you, sit down and drink, I will let Lian Xing go."
As he was talking, a person suddenly ran over and said, "Xue Qingshan was caught by his daughter-in-law for stealing someone. Widow Xue's house is very busy now."
The amount of information in these words is huge, there are thieves, there are widows of Xue, and there are rapes. When the villagers heard this, Xi didn't even bother to eat, hurriedly threw their chopsticks and left.
With one or two, there are naturally three or four. In the blink of an eye, most of the people in the shed have gone, and there is no chance for Patriarch Xue to stop them.
Another villager surnamed Zheng greeted: "This is really a lot of fun, let's go and see?"
Patriarch Xue was so angry that he was so angry, but he couldn't say anything wrong. There were many people surnamed Xue and many people surnamed Zheng in this village.
At first glance, this matter has an extraordinary relationship with Zheng Lizheng!
This old thing, it turns out that there is still this waiting for him. At the same time, Patriarch Xue also scolded Xue Qingshan in his heart, but the matter has already happened, and now it is true that we can only deal with it quickly.
He ordered his son to continue greeting guests from other villages, and hurriedly followed Mr. Xue and left.
On the other side, Zhao'er and Xue Tingxiang also learned of the news, and they went to Xue's house in a hurry.
Before reaching the door of Widow Xue's house, I saw that there were people on the inner and outer three floors, all kinds of discussions, and the roaring and crying of men and women.
"Oh, you said that Xue Qingshan is really not a thing. It turns out that Xue Lao Er died because he stole someone who shouldn't have stolen, so Xue Lao Er was mistakenly identified and killed." , Xue Tingxiang heard someone say that.
Immediately, his brain exploded, and several strides forwarded to grab the villager, and asked with a pale face, "What did you say?"
"I said—" The villager turned his head and saw that it was Xue Tingxiang, and immediately stopped talking in embarrassment.
Zhao'er also heard this sentence. Seeing that the little man was so rude, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold him and said, "Don't be impatient, let's ask slowly."
"What did you say!?" Xue Tingxiang asked again.
"Oh, Tingzi, what do you want me to say about this? Not only did I hear it, but many people heard it. It was said by Mrs. Yang when they were fighting with your uncle. If you don't believe me, ask. "This person probably knew that he was in trouble, so he dropped these words and got into the crowd and left.
Leaving Xue Tingxiang standing there with a gloomy face.
He said that with his father's character, it is impossible to get into trouble, and what kind of hatred can make people kill people? ! Back then, he said that he was going to report to the official, but his uncle blocked and blocked, saying that those people belonged to the city, they couldn't afford it, and Mo Gongdao didn't get it back, and he even involved the family for nothing.
At that time, he was still young, so he had no opinion. Hearing the uncle and grandfather said so, he could only endure it silently, but he made a big wish in his heart that he must stand out in the future and never let such a thing happen again. Over the years, this incident has long been forgotten by everyone. I didn't expect such a link.
In the yard, Patriarch Xue stood still and scolded: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, don't hurry and take them all away!"
Zheng Lizheng, who was beside him, smiled and didn't stop him, but he was full of worry: "Why did this happen, Qingshan is also a well-known person in our village, this trouble is really outrageous, you must know that Widow Xue... "
He didn't finish the next words, but shook his head again and again.
Not only was Widow Xue unruly, but also because Widow Xue was the nephew and daughter-in-law of Xue Qingshan according to her seniority. This was the biggest problem. Uncle and niece cheating, although not as serious as father-in-law, but it can also be called disorderly. If it is an ordinary person, it is fine, but the key point is that Xue Qingshan is a scholar.
Patriarch Xue had already taken Xue Qingshan and others away, and the people surrounding the door followed.
Zhao'er said with some worry: "Okay, don't think about it too much, let's go and have a look."
Xue Tingxiang nodded and walked forward first.
At this time, Xue Qingshan woke up from the wine long ago, was thrown on the ground, poured a basin of cold water, and was extremely embarrassed.
Yang Shi also realized the seriousness of the matter and felt uneasy.
Patriarch Xue sat on top with an extremely ugly face, and Mr. Xue was no better than him.
There are people standing inside and outside the house, and things can no longer be concealed at this stage. If they continue to be concealed, the roosters will lay eggs and the hens will croak, which is fantastic!
Widow Xue was also brought up and stood aside.
Her torn clothes and messy hair, which had just been torn by Yang's, have been neatly trimmed. At this moment, standing there with her head lowered, she added a lovely smell.
Patriarch Xue really hated why he didn't put this woman in a pig cage at the beginning. He didn't think about it at first, but Zheng Lizheng interfered before, and Widow Xue threatened him later.
This Widow Xue is not a thing. There are many men of the Xue family who have the first and last name with her. Others only regard her as a fun person, but they don't know that she is a poisonous female scorpion. With the Zheng family fanning the flames, the Xue clan will be in chaos if the woman doesn't keep her mouth shut, so the Xue clan chief can only turn a blind eye and let her live in the village.
Later, she kept a low profile and didn't cause any trouble, and Patriarch Xue gradually didn't take her to heart.
"Tell me, how did she seduce you?"
Hearing this, the villagers who were watching the excitement became very interested, and only a few people understood the meaning, including Xue Qingshan.
Xue Qingshan was sobered up at this moment, and he knew that things were going to happen. The next accident would be his ruined end. Now he can only save some of it.
He immediately burst into tears, swearing by God, and swearing, saying that he and Widow Xue had just recently happened. It was Widow Xue who took the initiative to seduce him. That day, when he came back from drinking outside, she ran into her, so she just dragged him into her house.
The people watching the fun all laugh out loud, whoever doesn't know this is a slap in the face, but since people are willing to say this, others naturally can't say anything, and they can't tear it apart for something that has nothing to do with them. Shame.
"Brother Shan, you have to be conscientious when you talk and do things. Why do you want me to seduce you." Widow Xue sobbed.
In the crowd, someone jeered: "It's wrong, it's wrong, you can't call it brother, you have to call it uncle."
Then there was another laugh, and Patriarch Xue stomped his feet in anger: "Give me silence!"
Zheng Li was persuading him: "Brother Xue, don't be angry." Then he went to scold the villagers who were making a fuss: "So are you bastards, what are you talking about when you have nothing to do!"
After finally calming down, Patriarch Xue said with a solemn face: "Qingshan said that you seduced him. Although they took it as a joke, I believe it. Qingshan has always been a disciplined person, and you don't change your bad habits. Everyone knows. I miss you being a widow when you were young, and you have no family to rely on. I can't bear to drive you, but you are good, but you came to harm my Xue family descendants. This time I will definitely not tolerate you any more. The woman blocked her mouth, tied her knees to the ancestral position, and chose a day to soak in the pig cage, as an example, and also to alert my Xue family's female relatives, and to be a woman and a woman."
Patriarch Xue had murderous intentions, and in a few words, he wanted to kill Widow Xue.
In fact, it can be seen before that he was killed by Widow Xue who seduced Xue Qingshan. Widow Xue has always been disrespectful, and her reputation has long been stinky. It is righteousness to soak her in a pig cage, and I am afraid that no one can say anything.
And when Widow Xue died, even if Xue Qingshan's reputation was damaged, he would be safe and sound. It's a big deal to keep his head down for a while, and another day he will be a good person who has changed his mind.
Zhao'er felt a coldness in her teeth, and she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
Is Patriarch Xue despicable? It's true that his method can't be called upright, but standing in his position, it seems that doing so is the safest decision.
Of course Zheng Lizheng understood, his face sank.
As the words fell, a few women came forward with ropes. When the female family members of the clan committed crimes, it was usually the female family members who dealt with them.
They came up to block Widow Xue's mouth and tied her up. Widow Xue struggled desperately, and called Xue Qingshan to save her, crying extremely shrill and embarrassed, making people pitiful.
But Xue Qingshan lowered his head and didn't even dare to raise his head.
The disheveled Widow Xue sneered, stretched out her mouth and bit the hand of a woman who was gagging her mouth, and with a scream, she pushed these people away with all her might.
"I can't die, what if I die for the child in my belly!"
As soon as these words came out, the field suddenly fell silent.
Patriarch Xue reprimanded: "Who knows who the child in your belly belongs to!"
Widow Xue didn't take it seriously. Instead, she smiled, lowered her head and stroked her stomach: "I've been with Brother Shan since I fought, but I've never followed anyone else. Who else could it be if it wasn't his."
She went to see Xue Qingshan again, her eyes were sad: "Brother Shan, you don't want your children anymore?"
Xue Qingshan hesitated for a moment.
Zheng Lizheng stood up and said: "This matter is very difficult to handle. You already have children. Even if a woman who made a big mistake and is going to be beheaded, if she is really pregnant, she will have to wait for her child to give birth before execution. Now, Brother Xue, although this Widow Xue has done bad things in the past, she has changed her mind in recent years. Don't take anger for the past. We all understand people. This kind of thing is just a slap in the face. "
It's so good that one slap can't be clapped!
Although the onlookers did not speak, many people thought so.
A villager said, "How about we wait until her child is born?"
"Just a few months later."
Patriarch Xue stared at Zheng Lizheng with a clear meaning in his eyes, does he really want to take care of this? He may not care about the opinions of the villagers, but Zheng Lizheng is not good. Once human life is involved, it is related to the law. If the people do not report, the officials will not be held accountable. Lizheng is also an official. .
Zheng Lizheng told him with his actions: "Take it back to raise it first, and then talk about it when the child is born. Really, it was originally a happy event, but such a disappointment was born."
He waved his hand and dispersed the villagers, more than the Xue family.
The depression that had been in his heart for many days was completely relieved, so there was a bit of relief between his brows.
At this time, it was his turn to block Patriarch Xue with words: "Brother Xue, let's go, let's go for a drink. Today is a good day for Ting Yan, so I don't have to let it be so disappointing."
Patriarch Xue's eldest son stood up and said, "Uncle, I'll accompany you to drink. My father is old and has been drinking a lot in the past two days. You know that he has an old problem. Cough, my mother will quarrel with him if I drink it again."
Zheng Lizheng didn't make things difficult either, the two walked out while talking.
The villagers also dispersed. Xue Qingshan got up from the ground and was about to leave, but was stopped.
"Wait a minute, I have something to say."
