Go back to ancient times and marry a widow

The old ancestral hall in Dongyu Village is quite old. It is said that it was built by a big family in the village decades ago.It's a pity that the big family gradually declined, and people with foreign surnames gradually increased, and the village was incorporated and controlled by the government.

Although the old ancestral hall has been standing for generations, its former glory has long been worn away in the long river of time. Now it is used for some important events in the village. The chief protector summons the villagers to come here to convey or discuss.

The outside of the old ancestral hall today is unusually lively. When Qi Wensheng and the others came here, they saw that quite a few villagers had already gathered.You don't need to ask Qi Wensheng to know that this must be Er Niu's propaganda all the way just now to attract people here.

Now that things are going on, Qi Wensheng doesn't mind how few people come to see his so-called jokes.He looked up at an old plaque in the middle of the ancestral hall. The writing on it had been eroded by wind and rain and was blurred. He could only make out the word "ancestral hall" among the four characters.

When Er Niu saw Qi Wensheng standing still, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? You're not going to regret it, are you?" He glanced sideways at He Qingyue as he spoke, implying that Qi Wensheng was reluctant to punish He Qingyue again. .

"Hmph, how is it possible?" Qi Wensheng was just attracted by the majestic ancient building in front of him. Looking at the exquisite carvings on the lintel and the magnificent high wall made of blue bricks, he could imagine how the big family used to be. How rich.

"Let's go." Qi Wensheng took the lead and stepped into the gate, stepping on the blue-striped stone floor, walking all the way to the most magnificent main hall. He had already seen two old men sitting inside besides the security chief.

"Hey, even your patriarch was alarmed, this time He Qingyue has suffered."

Before Qi Wensheng realized the meaning of Er Niu's words, he had already entered the main hall, and saw the hale and hearty old man sitting in the middle, vigorously smashing the ebony crutch in his hand, and said angrily: " Misfortune to the family, misfortune to the family..."

Qi Wensheng was even more puzzled, and quickly searched for memories about the old man in his mind, and in a blink of an eye, he got an important piece of information.

original……

"Father Qi, calm down and listen to what Wen Sheng has to say."

Qi Wensheng looked at the security chief who was talking, and he was quickly digesting the surprising information he had just received.

Er Niu quietly stabbed Qi Wensheng from behind, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and talk." He thought that Qi Wensheng must have retreated in fright if he saw the old clansman.

"Yeah." Qi Wensheng calmed down, looked at the three people seated in front of the hall one by one, first bowed his hands to them, and said in a calm tone: "Wen Sheng has met the grandpa." Then he shouted at the old man's left and right sides Shengbaochang and uncle.

The old man who was called by Qi Wensheng as the grandfather was suddenly stunned, Qi Wensheng looked neither humble nor overbearing, how could he not be the same person as the wimp he had seen in the past?

"You...are that kid from Manliang's family?" Taigong Qi asked hesitantly.

Qi Wensheng's mind turned quickly again, remembering that the character Man Liang was referring to the original owner's father, "If you go back to the grandfather, it is exactly."

Seeing a little probing light in Qi Taigong's cloudy eyes, not only did Qi Wensheng's heart not "thump", but he was also very open-minded. In front of such an experienced person, it is easier to make mistakes in acting.

"En." Qi Taigong nodded, turned sideways to the security chief beside him and said, "Sheng Lian, I'm getting old, I'll let you handle this matter."

After the Baochang responded to Grandpa Qi's words, he asked Qi Wensheng to explain what happened again carefully.Qi Wensheng had already thought up his speech. He stood in the middle of the main hall, straightened his waist, and narrated clearly how he discovered He Qingyue's adultery just now.

"... After I found out what they were doing in the melon shed, I thought that I must never let the two of them go this time, so I ran to the field to find Er Niu to help. They ran away, so they greeted a few more people to go over..."

Of course, Qi Wensheng would not say that this was a trick he gave He Qingyue and Pang Hualai to lure the snake out of the hole, but that he came out to exercise early in the morning and ran near the back mountain, just in time to see them sneaking into the melon shed.

Er Niu and the others nodded in earnest when Qi Wensheng mentioned them.

After listening to Qi Wensheng's narration, the chief security officer asked him thoughtfully: "What do you mean this time...there are more?"

Qi Wensheng looked at the ground, and took the chief's words with a look of sadness on his face, "Yes, this is not the first time."

As soon as the words fell, the villagers surrounding the hall door whispered to each other, "I said that something was wrong when I saw them that time, and they have become relatives, how can they let his cousin touch their cheeks?" Woolen cloth."

"That's right, that time in the woods at the entrance of the village, I saw his cousin pinching his butt."

Listening to the whispers of the two village women behind him, Qiuxi couldn't help frowning slightly. He had heard a few gossip about He Qingyue before, but there was no such loose action mixed in it.

Qiu Xi remembers seeing He Qingyue showing off a lot of jewelry that Qi Wensheng bought for him once, and saying how Qi Wensheng treated him so well, and how did he have the face to commit adultery?

"He Qingyue, do you have any excuses for what Qi Wensheng said?" Although the Baochang asked this question, no one could understand the facts.

Qiu Xi, like everyone else, looked at He Qingyue who was kneeling beside Qi Wensheng. He was silent for a moment, then gently shook his drooping head.

Hearing the contemptuous and low-pitched cursing of He Qingyue by others, Qiuxi sighed in her heart, feeling sorry and worthless for Qi Wensheng's sincere dedication.

The security chief asked Qi Wensheng again: "Since that's the case, are you going to deal with He Qingyue according to the family rules, or go through the interrogation and conviction by the government?"

This actually caught Qi Wensheng's question. What he had planned before was that things would break out. He used this to draw a clear line with He Qingyue. He Qingyue's incident would naturally become notorious.He didn't think about going to court in a complicated way, and he didn't even think about any family rules involved in it.

"Hmph! Of course we have to follow our Qi clan's rules!" The man who was called uncle by Qi Wensheng just now spoke with full anger, he couldn't see why Qi Wensheng became this hesitant look again.

When Qi Wensheng saw the uncle's dissatisfied eyes, he knew that he had misunderstood himself, but Qi Wensheng felt that Uncle Qi's proposal was good. He thought that there would be no real punishment, and it would be too cheap for He Qingyue.

"Then obey uncle." Qi Wensheng said it happily, and felt even happier in his heart. He wanted to see what good fruit the Qi clan rules could allow He Qingyue to eat.

"Hmph!" Uncle Qi gave Qi Wensheng a look that was considered sensible for you.

Qi Wensheng twitched the corner of his right mouth helplessly, and heard Uncle Qi say in a loud voice, as if reciting: "The Qi clan rules never treat adulterers lightly! Those who have no husband and commit adultery will be punished with [-] lashes." , whoever has a husband and commits adultery will be punished with fifty lashes."

Qi Wensheng glanced at He Qingyue whose shoulders began to shrink, and thought that this method of punishment was quite exciting.

Uncle Qi hasn't finished reciting yet, "After three days of slowing down, hang a sign on your neck with the word adultery written on it, and kneel in a conspicuous place at the entrance of the village. For five consecutive days, you need to kneel for three hours a day. Anyone who passes by He spits and insults him."

"Pfft...cough..." Qi Wensheng couldn't help laughing out "Pfft" when he heard it, he hurriedly clenched his hand into a fist and stuffed his mouth with this extremely inappropriate, almost revealing Laughter was blocked by a cough.

"Look at your potential." Er Niu murmured disapprovingly, he had already retreated to the side just now, seeing Qi Wensheng lowered his head, his face flushed, he felt that Qi Wensheng must be the reason why Qingyue should be offended Distressed and sad.

Not only Er Niu thought this way, but even Qiu Xi, who was watching Qi Wensheng's back in the crowd, thought so too.He didn't know why he felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden, it felt like Qi Wensheng's cough turned into small pebbles and filled his heart.

"Ahem... um..." Qi Wensheng's demeanor finally returned to calm in the eyes of Uncle Qi who hated iron and steel.

At this time, He Qingyue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took two steps on his knees, pulled up Qi Wensheng's trouser legs, and begged, "Qi Wensheng, you...you can't do this to me!" He couldn't bear it.

Qi Wensheng stepped forward, lowered his head and gave He Qingyue a disgusted look. He didn't tell He Qingyue that he was almost poisoned to death by He Qingyue in public, which was already a great kindness to He Qingyue.

When Qi Wensheng was coughing just now, Uncle Qi had already winked and asked someone to invite the whip of the Qi family.Now that the whip was being held in with both hands, Qi Wensheng glanced at the dark black and shiny long whip, and had time to ponder whether He Qingyue's small body could withstand the fifty whips at once.

Uncle Qi just answered him: "If there are half-conscious or half-dead people during the execution, the number of remaining lashes will not be reduced, and they will continue to bear the number after kneeling for five days."

Heh, it's quite humane, Qi Wensheng caught a glimpse of He Qingyue sifting through the chaff all over, and said to himself that it's all your fault.

At the behest of Uncle Qi, two people came forward and grabbed He Qingyue's arms, one from the left and the other from the right. He Qingyue was pulled away by them for a few steps, and while kicking his legs to break free, he yelled at Qi Wensheng: " Qi Wensheng! I am the daughter-in-law you married in, have you forgotten what you said to me back then! Do you really want to watch me get whipped? Do you really want my life?" It's more heart-piercing than a sentence.

"Wait!" Qi Wensheng suddenly turned around and called to stop the person who was dragging He Qingyue. He Qingyue reminded him that while He Qingyue was still breathing, he had to get down to business first.

He Qingyue stopped tossing all of a sudden, his eyes lit up, could this be a narrow escape?

Qi Wensheng's move made everyone present look puzzled, surprised, and contemptuous.Among them, Qiuxi's eyes were the most complicated. He turned around and walked out of the crowd with Dou'er in his arms. He was thinking that Qi Wensheng still had nostalgic feelings for He Qingyue after all.

But before he walked ten steps, Qiuxi heard a loud voice from the main hall, and he stopped suddenly...
