Gao Xuecheng passed the college examination, was selected as a scholar, and was favored by the Tuiguan master, who planned to make him his son-in-law. It's not small, Gao Xuecheng said to Jiang and Zhang: "Even if you win the lawsuit in the county, and Lou Zhi County judges us to lose, I only need to say one word, and the government will take over, and then let you all take over." The family is ruined, and there is no burial place for death! The so-called forgiveness and forgiveness, my eldest sister has already married the Zhang family, so she is a member of the Zhang family, so stop making trouble, the villagers live in the village, so we can see each other in the future .”

Unwilling, Jiang Chang came to seek advice from Fan Juren with generous gifts. When Fan Juren heard about it, he told him: "That kid from the Gao family is blowing his horns. This behavior is not in line with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and even a young scholar dares to bully others." , Litigation is a big taboo for officials, but if Zhang Tuiguan really likes him and wants to accept him as a son-in-law, you'd better not fight with him, otherwise you will suffer a loss sooner or later."

Jiang Changyou had a little confidence in his mind, and came to quarrel with the Gao family again. At this time, Gao Xuejie went to Linxiang to discuss his daughter's marriage, and Gao Xuecheng also went to the mansion. Only Gao Xuexin was left, who was scared by Jiang Chang's few words Feeling guilty, and afraid that things in the village would be exposed, both sides were jealous, so they compromised and made concessions. Gao Xuexin returned the betrothal gift money from the original engagement to the Jiang family, and paid another 30 taels of silver.

Originally, Jiang Changyou asked for 200 taels, but Gao Xuexin cut it down to 30 taels, but even if he couldn’t get the money out, Mrs. Gao would naturally not give him the money. Jiang Changyou threatened him that if he didn’t If he takes the money but doesn't hand it over to anyone, he will spread the news about Fenglin Street and fight the Gao family fish to death.

Gao Xuexin was worried for several days, and finally decided: the wool came from the sheep, and the Zhang family had to get the money!So I found Zhang Hua and his son. Zhang Hua's father was also scheming, saying that since we were asked to take so much money, it would belong to the daughter-in-law who bought it, and she had to sell her life contract to her son as a concubine, otherwise Gao Yitian would be killed. Return it back, let the Gao family pay back the money for regretting the marriage, and yell: "I am in the capital, and I have seen even the high-ranking officials of the six departments and the most expensive princes. If you push us into a hurry, then I would rather go bankrupt. Bring the lawsuit to the city of Beijing!"

Gao Xuexin has been worrying about this daughter for a long time, and being urged by Jiang Changyou, and worried that the incident on Fenglin Street will be exposed, he just wanted to get these things over quickly, draw a line with the Jiang family, and calm down completely in the future. He agreed to Zhang Hua's father and sold his daughter to Zhang's family. He got 50 taels of silver, returned 30 taels to Jiang Chang, and got 20 taels for himself. Touching the snowflakes of silver, when he dreamed back at midnight, he couldn't help complaining about his daughter-in-law. The daughter was born too little.

Jiang Changyou got the silver and came home, but when he entered the door, his wife scolded him all over his head and face: "I sent you away for only 30 taels of silver? You are so cheap! We spend ten times as much in lawsuits these days." Why are your eyelids so shallow, I agreed!"

Jiang Changyou said with a smile: "Why are you in a hurry, we can't force the Gao family directly, otherwise we will suffer if there is a big trouble."

Tian Wenjing scolded: "How can I not be in a hurry? These days, more than half of our family's savings over the years have been spent, all because of the plague-stricken Gao family, all in vain! Thinking of this I was so angry that my liver hurts. According to my heart, don’t they just have two scholars, and they can really cover the sky with one hand? Let’s sell the house and land, and then go to Beijing to sue the imperial court and fight them to the death In the end! If I can’t breathe, I’ll hang myself in front of Lao Gao’s house tomorrow!”

Jiang Changyou persuaded his wife: "Look at you, you can tell that you are very strong and strong! There are people in the family, it is impossible to act violently, if you have to outwit, you can just wait at home and I will take care of it." Bring that girl from the Gao family to our son!"

He also asked Zhang Hua to come to ask for debts every day with the donkey rolling note. When the two of them came back from the capital, they only brought two or three hundred taels of silver. They bought a house and real estate, and there was nothing left. They came back last winter, and the field they planted in the spring this year has not yet harvested. In addition, he is addicted to gambling. There is nothing left.

Jiang Changyou secretly ordered the two men to take him to the house and beat him all over the place. Zhang Hua was fond of gambling since he was a child. When he was in Beijing, he spent most of his life in the casino and spent the savings he and his wife had accumulated in small businesses. Everything was lost, and now this matter will be unfolded again, Zhang Laodi was so angry and anxious, he didn't come up in one breath, so he drove west of Hexi.

The father is dead, the debt still has to be paid, Jiang Changyou is really ruthless, intending to force him to sell the house and land to make up for his own shortfall, and finally get Gao Yitian, so that he can get both talents, but Zhang Hua doesn't want to sell the house and land , first chose to sell his wife, in his opinion, this Gao Yitian is a loser, since he sold her, he didn't do well, he owed her more than 50 taels, sold her for 50 taels, leaving a few hundred dollars Get it back in the casino, if the Bodhisattva blesses you, if you come to two games, you will make up for the losses of these days!

Mu Yunyi is a famous person in the county. Knowing his grievances with the Gao family, he brought Gao Yitian to sell him to Mu Yunyi: "Gao Xuexin, that bastard is not a human being. His daughter will sell it to you later. Hit and scold whenever you want, it’s nothing to relieve your anger!" As he spoke, he pinched Gao Yitian with his hands, then kicked Gao Yitian, Gao Yitian fell to the ground, and he didn't pull him, and went over to punch Gao Yitian. Kicking, making Gao Yitian roll around on the ground, crying bitterly.

Mu Yunyi said to An Xiaobei: "Yue Butou is patrolling the streets of Dongshi, you go and find him and ask him to bring a few more people."

Zhang Hua was taken aback: "What are you doing here with Catcher Yue? I didn't break the law by beating my concubine!"

Mu Yunyi said: "It's not illegal for you to hit your concubine, but you shouldn't come to my shop door to beat me, and delay my business!"

Zhang Hua couldn't believe it and said: "This is your eldest sister, besides, don't you hate the Gao family, you just..."

Mu Yunyi said coldly: "First of all, my surname is Mu, and her surname is Gao, which has nothing to do with me. Besides, she is my sister. Believe it or not, I will knock out your teeth? Do I hate the Gao family? It has nothing to do with you. Even if I hate Gao Xuexin and he provokes me, I just go to him directly. It is not worthwhile to abuse his daughter. I will not do such a shameless thing. You are a stinking shameless The villain, took this matter to blackmail me, 70 taels of silver, if I give it to you, it is better to buy a good pork stew and feed it to the dog! Get out of here quickly, otherwise, I really don’t want to Be polite!" He told his assistant, "If anyone comes to make trouble, I will copy them!"

Xia Jue had the quickest brain, and was the first to come over with the latch in his arms and stand behind Mu Yunyi, followed closely by Bai Yumin, Qu Chi, Jiang Chunshui, and Bai Wa, who had just returned, each went to the store to pick up a bench and wooden sticks, They lined up on the steps and looked at Zhang Hua covetously.

Zhang Hua swallowed, went over and kicked Gao Yitian several times, then pulled her up by the hair, yelled and cursed, and dragged her skirt to the east.

Someone in the crowd asked Mu Yunyi: "I think that little lady is very pitiful, do you really care about it, Mr. Xiao?"

In fact, since Gao Yitian has become Zhang Hua's concubine, he can be beaten and scolded, and no one else has the right to intervene, even Gao Xuexin can't control him, and the price of 70 taels is too high. It is enough to buy two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls who are still perfect. Gao Yitian is not worth the price even if he is a yellow-flowered girl. In the minds of the people in the county, there is an image of benevolence and righteousness. If this matter is really ignored, it is reasonable but unreasonable, so some people ask questions with a disappointed tone.

Mu Yunyi looked to the east, and said with a deep look: "It's not that I don't care, but I can't directly."

The reason why he let Zhang Hua go was because he had seen Gao Yichun appearing at the east entrance of Xingqing Street, standing in the crowd by himself, and only two police officers found Zhang Hua to negotiate with him.

Zhang Hua ran into a wall here, intending to get Gao Yitian to the casino to find a buyer, but he was stopped by two police officers as soon as he arrived at the street: "Your name is Zhang Hua, right?"

"Ah, it's me." The words were a hindrance, and the clothes were full of hair. Looking at the clothes of the two policemen and the official knives in their waists, Zhang Hua couldn't help but feel trembling.

The police quickly asked him: "Your father is dead, why didn't you report to the government for cancellation of registration? Private burial is a serious crime! Come on, come with me to the yamen!" After speaking, he came over to arrest Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua was frightened at the time: "I, I, I... I have already told Li Zheng..."

"But Wang Lizheng from Zhanggou didn't come to tell us. It's fine, go back to the yamen with us first, and then go to Wang Lizheng to come over. We'll find out if we meet each other."

Zhang Hua complained in his heart. This is an inconspicuous matter. Anyone who died would only tell Li Zheng that he did not come to the yamen by himself. Go to the yamen, if Wang Lizheng does not come for a day, he will have to stay there for a day, if he does not come for a month, he will have to stay for a month, and Wang Lizheng is not a fool, he will admit that something is wrong with him, he must say Zhang Hua didn't tell him.

He was arrested and quickly dragged, so he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged: "You two officials! Two masters! Please forgive me, please forgive me, I..." He wanted to take out some money He came to bribe the two of them, but there was not even a penny in his purse, so he couldn't get it out at all.

The two policemen dragged him a hundred meters away like a dead dog: "You broke the law, you were taken to the Yamen, you were beaten twenty boards first, and then you were locked up in prison, and the fine was paid. If you don’t pay in one day, you will get twenty in one day, if you don’t pay in ten days, you will get two hundred in ten days! So that you can know the majesty of the government!”
