Original sin lures you to hell

On the county yamen, the magistrate squinted his eyes at the four people and one ox in the yamen today. Forget about the ox, let’s use it as evidence of a business dispute, but these two are smelly, their clothes are ragged, their faces are swollen, and they can’t see clearly. What's going on with the two handsome people? Is this contempt for the court?

The magistrate of the county slapped the gavel angrily, with a plaque hanging high above his head in a mirror, not angry but mighty, seeing the guilt-ridden Niu and his wife trembled, "Who is kneeling under the hall?"

Lizheng bowed and saluted and said: "If you go back to the magistrate of the county, the grass man is Niujia Village Lizheng. This is Niu Lang, and the two next to him are his brother Niu Da and his wife—" The family found out that Niu Da and his wife were hung upside down on the beam. How did Niu Da and his wife open their mouths to say that Niu Lang stole 50 taels of silver from them, and how they justly asked the officials to say it clearly. There is no defense for Niu Lang, but every word says that Niu Da and his wife are selfish and greedy, but the Niu Lang boy is self-reliant and hardworking. When they see that their younger brother is rich, they have a bad mind and cannot steal money. Against slander.[-] Chinese

When Lizheng said this, some villagers even shouted outside the yamen, expressing that what Lizheng said was true.

The county magistrate patted the gavel, and said: "Quiet, how can there be noise above the yamen?" Seeing that the outside gradually became quiet, the county magistrate looked at Niu Da and his wife with serious expressions, and said, "Niu Da , tell me what is right here, is it true?"

Niu Da's daughter-in-law was desperately tugging at Niu Da's clothes in the hall, fearing that he would go crazy like before, admit it regardless, or speak nonsense in front of the county magistrate, and die faster.

Niu Da was terrified to death in his heart, desperately praying for God's blessing, don't let the ghosts and snakes control him to talk nonsense, but it's useless not to burn incense and hug Buddha's feet in a hurry, he can only feel his own fear Mouth opened and closed, looking at the county magistrate's increasingly gloomy face, almost collapsed.

"The words of Huixian Taiye and Lizheng's words are not true. It is clear that the cowherd stole 50 taels of silver from me when we separated. He first pretended to be poor and lonely, and then saw everyone We all believed him, so we started to buy land and build a house with money. My husband and I went to him two days ago to argue, but he hung upside down on the beam, poured filth on me, and the thieves shouted "Stop the thieves, I beg the magistrate to make the decision for me!" said But weeping, weeping bitterly.

The audience was once again defeated by his shamelessness, everyone sighed, and spat at him from the air, I am a big face, he doesn't want me anymore, I am a big face, he doesn't want me anymore, I have a big face, he doesn't want me anymore!

The county magistrate's brows trembled, listening to Niu Da's shameless words, seeing his dirty face, described as wretched, it was unsightly, he turned his head to look at Niu Lang, and washed his eyes by the way, "Niu Lang, what are you doing?" explain?"

Niulang straightened his body, with a calm face, and said: "If you go back to the magistrate, what Niulang's elder brother Niu Da said is really nothing. When Niulang separated from him, he only got a yellow cow and a bag of seeds that were almost completely destroyed. The cowherd found a place on the mountain and built a small hut, and reclaimed an acre of wasteland on the wasteland that the landlord’s house didn’t want. I did all the irrigation and fertilization with the little yellow cow, and all the neighbors nearby knew about it. The grain harvested was very little, and I could only eat one meal when I was hungry. Later, the wasteland gradually became fertile, and the grain was harvested and sold to others. Only then did I save a little savings. The landlord of the wasteland sold me two taels of silver. Even the so-called building of my brother’s house was nothing more than me laying bricks on the foundation of that thatched hut to keep out the wind and rain, so that I wouldn’t sleep uneasy. After this, I didn’t have much money left on hand. Back then The ox was sick, I was poor and penniless, I went to the mountains alone to collect medicine, and I almost couldn’t come back, if I really have the 50 taels of silver, why should I behave myself like this?”

Speaking of the sickness of the little ox, recalling the pain of losing it, the cowherd choked up his voice and was on the verge of tears. The little ox lying quietly next to him would rub his head against his body from time to time, and occasionally stick out his tongue to lick his drooping ox. The big hand on the ground comforted silently, which showed the deep affection between this person and an animal.

Listening to Niulang's sad words, everyone sighed with emotion and empathized with them. They can be said to have really witnessed the bitter journey of Niulang.If it is said that he is rich, everyone thinks about the cowherd's house and the acre of land, and shakes their heads in their hearts. Compared with ordinary people, he is not rich, and he is far behind!At most, it is from a poor boy with a bare house to a poor boy with a house covering the sky, no difference!

☆、Chapter 57 Cowherd and Weaver Girl: The ability to talk nonsense, no one is as good as a cow!

The cowherd touched the little scalper's head, felt the warmth of it snuggled up to him, blinked the moisture out of his eyes, and when he raised his head again, his face was calm. He looked at the two of them, and said word by word: "I But ask the landlord to come and confront me to see if this land sold me two taels of silver? Brother, since you said that I took you 50 taels when the family was separated, then you are talking about two years ago when my parents left me two taels of silver. Is there still 50 taels of money? Ordinary people can live on three taels of silver a year. When my parents passed away in 20, although I was young, I still remember what they said, all the money in this family added up But [-] taels, if we split up in the future, just give me five taels. Do you dare to say that your parents have never said this? But in fact, have you given it?"

Niulang glanced at them coldly, then turned to look at the magistrate, "My lord, if Niulang's words are true, just ask Lizheng to find out. My parents and Lizheng had a good relationship when they were alive."

At this point, if the magistrate still doesn't see anything, he has spent decades in the officialdom for nothing. Such a brazen elder brother is really rare.

Niu Da stiffened his neck, looked like he was being slandered, and said bitterly: "Why didn't we give it to you! Your sister-in-law and I brought you up from a young age, and provided you with food and clothing. Don't you pay for this? For you, We ate bran and swallowed vegetables, and it took three years to sew and mend clothes, have you forgotten all of this?"

What you said, not only Niu Lang’s teeth were sore and his stomach hurt, but even Li Zheng who was on the side couldn’t stand it. He hated Niu Da for his inability to make steel, “Niu Da, Niu Da, how did you say that! You guys People in other villages don’t know how the husband and wife treated the cowherd, but don’t people in our own village know? Call out a villager casually, and you will know how cruel you were to the cowherd back then! You let him starve You graze cows on your belly, you let him plow the fields under the hot sun in the dog days without rest all day, you let him live in a cowshed in the cold winter months without even giving him a quilt, your crimes are too numerous to write down, you are simply You are embarrassing our Niu Family Village." Li Zheng's beard straightened up, and he almost beat Niu Da up with his own hands.

"Your parents worked hard, leaving several acres of fertile land and twenty taels of silver. You didn't give the cowherd any money, and swallowed all of it. Now it's nothing to bite the cowherd."

The eldest daughter-in-law Niu bowed her head in embarrassment, shrinking her body and trying to reduce her sense of existence.

Niu Da was still shameless, and shouted: "Isn't this exercising the body of the cowherd? He has been weak since he was a child, and I don't know how much medicine he has taken. Wouldn't this just make him stronger? I think about him like this Is there something wrong? Besides, the money is spent on the cowherd, so how can we give him any money!"

Lizheng was blown away by his shamelessness, "You...you..." He pointed at Niu Da tremblingly, but he couldn't say a word.

The villagers of Niujia Village gathered outside the yamen were all stunned, and they were willing to bow down. As for the ability to reverse black and white and talk nonsense, no one is really as good as Niu Da!

The magistrate of the county believes that he has lived for more than forty years, and he has never encountered any strange things. Today, he really saw it. His daughter-in-law knew that she was ashamed and dared not speak up, but he didn't even have any self-knowledge, what a talent!

Gu Liangsheng was lying on the ground, looking at the disgusted appearance of everyone with joy, the higher the hatred value, the worse the death will be!

Niulang said solemnly: "Brother, I will not argue with you, the most important evidence. My lord, you can send someone to find the landlord, or you can send someone to search my house to see if you can find the landlord." 50 taels?"

Before the magistrate said anything, Niu Dashi continued to yell, "You think I'm stupid! You might have hidden yourself somewhere else for the 50 taels."

Cowherd was unmoved, and looked at the magistrate with deep eyes, "The cowherd is not afraid of the shadow slanting, I believe the adults can make their own decisions."

The magistrate of the county stroked his beard and was very satisfied with Niu Lang's words and deeds. He looked at Niu Da who was still about to yell, and slapped the gavel angrily, "Niu Da, if you make trouble for nothing, I will beat you first." A few big boards, let you wake up."

Hearing this, although Niu Da didn't speak anymore, his heavy cold snort and raised head were all telling the injustice of the magistrate.

The county magistrate sneered, and told him to go crazy again, "Come here, go to Niu Da Niu Lang's house in Niujia Village and the house of the landlord who sold the land to Niu Lang."

"Yes, my lord!" The six yamen servants were ordered to come out, and after saluting, they quickly went to Niujia Village.
