Chapter 22: Report to the official
Chapter 22 Report to the official
Lin Jinhong was dumbfounded in surprise.
Going home yesterday, I heard my sister and daughter-in-law talk about being dumb here, and how eloquent his sister-in-law is now.
Just now when he came over, he saw no one at home, so he guessed that the fifty taels of silver was hidden by that vicious woman Chu Nanzhi, so he went to search the hut directly, never thinking that the three little fellows would have spotted the silver as soon as he found it .
Running wildly all the way did not get rid of a few cubs.
I thought that moving out of Mr. Qi's family and the gamblers in the gambling shop could bluff this shrew, but this woman really has a lot of skills.
He was not convinced, nor reconciled, and cursed: "Chu Nanzhi, you wicked woman, you really have a deep mind, and you use such a stinky cloth bag to store money, why are you at ease."
"You scoundrel, you are really lenient. Why should I tell you everything about my old lady?"
Chu Nanzhi was speechless to his words.
can be brazen enough.
However, a few days ago when she hid the silver, she did think a little bit.
After all, these silvers are very important to her, and it is inevitable that some small thieves will miss them.
If she loses all the money and doesn't give her a chance at all, if she is given some clues, she won't just watch her hard-earned money being taken away.
Seeing a group of unfriendly people staring at him, Lin Jinhong felt fear in his heart, so he hurried to Lin Jinxiao and begged:
"Brother, I didn't intend to covet this money on purpose. My family is really struggling recently, and I can't do anything about it. Please let me go."
"Since you know that your family is in trouble, you still don't know how to restrain yourself. You idle all day, either in the casino or with your gang of friends. How many times have you done such immoral things? Can you count them yourself?"
Lin Jinxiao's face was serious, he had already despaired of this brother, he looked at the familiar and disgusting figure from the corner of his eyes, and felt inexplicably comforted:
This crazy woman is getting better and better.
Dabao and Three Treasures gritted their teeth resentfully, and called Qu Qu in front of Lin Jinxiao: "Father, you can't spare him, he beat us just now."
Chu Nanzhi remembered the scene where Lin Jinhong punched the two children, and immediately walked up to the two little ones, and touched Sanbao's arm, and the little one shrank back tremblingly.
Lin Jinxiao rolled up the sleeves of the three treasures, new and old injuries on his immature arm were stacked together, and now he was kicked by Lin Jinhong to the skin.
Chu Nanzhi closed her eyes in distress, and went to see Dabao again.
Dabao looked at her with complicated expressions at this time, but there was some admiration mixed with hatred.
The little guy took the initiative to roll up his trouser legs, only to see a callused scar on his calf that had split open and oozes blood.
Chu Nanzhi felt even more uncomfortable, and hurried to the house to get some sore medicine, Dabao was so frightened that he quickly pulled Sanbao to hide behind Lin Jinxiao.
"Take the medicine first, and the pain will be gone after taking the medicine."
Chu Nanzhi knew that except for Sibao, the other three little guys were still wary of her.
But such a serious injury, how could such a young child endure like this.
Seeing that Dabao and Three Treasures refused to go there, Lin Jinxiao could only order: "Go quickly."
In this way, the two little guys walked over trembling.
Chu Nanzhi treated the wound on Sanbao's arm first, and when it was Dabao's turn to apply medicine, Chu Nanzhi just touched his back, and Dabao cried out in pain.
Chu Nanzhi peeled off his clothes, only to see that besides two long rattan marks on his back, there was a large bright red area in the middle, bruised and bruised.
It looked like it was kicked violently.
She tentatively stretched out her hand to Dabao's bruise, and Dabao cried out directly: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
"Don't say it hurts you, just let others bully you."
Chu Nanzhi gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Jinhong furiously.
This rascal is really devoid of conscience, to be able to do such a cruel thing to his nephew.
Liu Qingbo came over to have a look, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid the bone is broken, I'll ask someone to ask the doctor to take a look."
Lin Jinhong didn't expect that his own kicks could kick Dabao so badly, and he became terrified at first.
Liu Qingbo ordered someone to call for a doctor, and when he turned around to look at the injured child, he frowned tightly. Suddenly, his veins were exposed, and he pointed at Lin Jinhong and cursed:
"Da Lang was injured so badly, how could you bear to do this kind of thing? If your sister-in-law hadn't been so smart, what would have happened to this family today? Back then, Da Lang married Mrs. Chu to earn money for your family. There are so many rich and fertile fields here, if you don’t cultivate the land well to support your family, you have to idle around and make yourself into such a miserable situation today, you can’t blame others.”
Liu Qingbo only spoke a few words of truth, but a woman's stern voice came from outside the courtyard:
"Why is my son idle, Mr. Lizheng must be careful when he speaks."
Everyone looked around, only to see Mrs. Chen leading her daughter and daughter-in-law and rushing in majestically.
This scene is not surprising, and everyone didn't show how novel it was.
Someone also whispered with emotion: "Mr. Chen always comes by such a coincidence every time."
Chu Nanzhi knew that the Chen family was going to intervene again, so she didn't bother to care about Lin Jinxiao's thoughts, so she said directly to Liu Qingbo:
"Lord Lizheng, please report to the officials. This scoundrel violates the morals of the village and disturbs the people's customs. Take him to the county government to teach him a lesson."
As soon as she heard the report to the official, Mrs. Chen immediately became anxious: "What official report, what official report."
Liu Qingbo said with a stern face: "Ask yourself what good things did your Erlang do this time?"
Lin Jinhong knelt on the ground and hugged Mrs. Chen, weeping, Mrs. Chen heard the whole story, but said calmly: "I just took some money, and it belongs to my family. What's the big deal? Li is meddling in my own business." It's too wide."
"What is meddling?"
Liu Qingbo said unhappily: "This is not taking, but stealing, and the amount is getting bigger and bigger. If everyone in the village is like Erlang, is there any law to speak of?"
Immediately ordered someone to come and get Lin Jinhong.
Seeing that he was serious, Mrs. Chen was so frightened that her legs gave way, she fell to the ground and begged bitterly:
"Master Lizheng, my son is still young, you can't take him to the court, he did all this for the slave family, please forgive him this time for the sake of his filial piety."
"Again?"
Liu Lizheng gritted his teeth bitterly:
"Filial piety, can you do sneaky things with filial piety?"
"Yes, yes, Erlang was at fault, but he is the flesh and blood of the deceased husband after all. The deceased husband had been in office for five years, and he became sick from overwork. He cruelly left us orphans and widows and passed away early. There is no credit but hard work."
Chen Shigan cried and looked at the people around him, and continued aggressively:
"Neighbors present, there are a few who have not received the favor of my late husband. During the two years of famine, he worked hard to obtain a tax reduction policy for everyone, and sent relief materials and silver to every household as much as possible. He did not starve to death. One person, but also builds rivers and canals for the neighbors, and helps everyone to have enough food, without him, can you live to this day?"
"Wooooow, my poor husband, you have worked tirelessly to benefit one party. Look at how they treat your widow and heirs now. They want to drag your flesh and blood to the government."
At the end, Chen's heart was broken, and he cried and wiped away his tears.
Liu Qingbo and everyone present were ashamed when she mentioned County Magistrate Lin.
That is indeed a rare and honest official.
Liu Qingbo looked at Chu Nanzhi in embarrassment.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't laugh or cry, and she didn't know how the magistrate Lin of Yingming I married such a shameless woman.
She bent down, faced Mrs. Chen, and said with a sneer: "Since you know that County Magistrate Lin is worried about the world and is a selfless person, as his widow, how dare you repeatedly use his famous name to protect his shortcomings for your own selfishness? Don't you think so?" Don't you feel ashamed?"
"You bitch"
Chen was so angry that he couldn't calm down, and his speech seemed slurred.
"I said that day, this family has nothing to do with you in the future, and you are not allowed to step into this courtyard again."
During the words, Chu Nanzhi's clear eyes showed unshakable determination:
"And I can tell you clearly that Lin Erlang must be sent to the official today, and it is useless to ask anyone. He dared to steal and rob today. You can protect him. If he kills and sets fire tomorrow, do you have to protect him?"
Paused, she continued: "You can use the reputation of Lin County Magistrate to win the sympathy of neighbors again and again, but the iron law of the Dahe Empire may not allow you to bend the law for personal gain."
She not only wanted to say this to Mrs. Chen, but also hoped that Lin Jinxiao would understand this.
Lin Jinxiao: Beat and scold children every day, don't talk about the law to me.
Dazhi: Then I'll play you.
Lin Jinxiao looked at his injured leg and left trembling.
