Pastoral little master

Chapter 226
Mrs. Fen often comes to this tavern, and she is very familiar with the shopkeeper. At the moment, there are only two or three customers.

Mrs. Fen took Tan Damei and Mrs. Yang up to the private room on the second floor.

Originally, Tan Damei said that any private room would be fine, but Mrs. Fen said that the private room by the window on the right is better, where you can see the scenery of the street clearly.

The three of them entered the private room and sat down, called the waiter, and ordered two horns of honey wine and two plates of fruit to go with the wine
As soon as the clerk left, Tan Damei immediately asked Mrs. Fen under the hint of Yang's eyes, "Ms. Fen, please tell me what Mrs. Kang said after hearing what you said?"

Lady Fen looked at Tan Damei, with a deep hatred in her eyes.

It's just that this hatred was immediately covered up by her smile, "Mrs. Wang, I've told you exactly what you said..."

She recounted in detail what she had said to Mrs. Kang before.

"I know these words, tell Mrs. Kang's reaction quickly." Tan Damei interrupted Mrs. Fen, she was eager to know the result.

Mrs. Fen's eyes flickered, "Don't worry, I'll finish these words... Mrs. Kang was of course very angry after hearing these words, and said I was talking nonsense. Mrs. Wang, tell me honestly, whether these things are true or not ?”

The reason why she promised Tan Damei to go to Mrs. Kang's house to say these things was because Tan Damei never said that these words were false, but that they were absolutely true.

Otherwise, even if she is given money, she has to think about it to see if this kind of thing can be done.

Although she likes to gossip about other people, most of these gossips are well-founded, but they are deliberately concealed by some people involved in the accident.

If she had spread rumors for no reason, her mouth would have been distorted long ago.

Just because she believed too much and wanted to curry favor with Tan Damei, she ran to Mrs. Kang's house in a feverish manner, and ended up capsizing in the gutter.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Kang, can you say that you won't be engaged to the Tan family?" Yang was more concerned about this matter, so she interjected and asked.

"No." Lady Fen shook her head.

Yang's face showed disappointment.

Mrs. Fen continued to question Tan Damei, "Mrs. Wang, I heard you speak vividly. Is this true or false? If it is false, Mrs. Kang will not tear me apart by then."

Tan Damei's face was a little unnatural, and she glanced at Yang, her eyes were full of complaints, and she blamed her old lady for making all these messy things.

However, fortunately, the words have been said, as for what the Kang family will do, it has nothing to do with me.

Under Mrs. Fen's urging again, Tan Damei said, "Ah, Mrs. Fen, don't worry, these words are of course true, I can say whatever I want."

It's just that the tone of the words is a little weak.

Tan Damei is clear about Erxia's personality.

She would believe anyone who said they were debauched, but she wouldn't believe Er Xia was such a person even if she was beaten to death.

"By the way, Mrs. Wang, how do you know this kind of thing so clearly?" Mrs. Fen asked again.

Mrs. Yang saw that she kept asking about this matter, and said impatiently, "My family lives next door to that woman, and I know her very well, and everything I said is true."

"Oh, so the aunt told Mrs. Wang these words?" Mrs. Fen's eyes lit up, and she followed closely.

Mrs. Yang nodded, "The whole village knows about this, I'm just telling the truth."

It's an acknowledgment that she said it.

Lady Fen let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh, what grudge does that girl have against you, why did you do this?" Mrs. Fen asked again.

"Forget it, Mrs. Fen, let's not talk about these things." Tan Damei waved her hand, not wanting to continue this topic, and at the same time, she also had some doubts about why she would hold on to this issue so tightly.

"Ms. Fen, let's have a bar." She raised her glass to Mrs. Fen as she spoke, "Thank you for what happened today, come."

Mrs. Fen took a sip of her wine and said with a smile, "Mrs. Wang, it's all right anyway. Let's listen to it. What kind of enmity does that woman have with you? Why are you doing this?"

"Oh, that girl's family has no good things. Her parents are cruel like bandits, and her children are unfilial. Last time, just because my father said something wrong with her father, her parents came over and broke my father's legs... You know that my father is recuperating at my house..." Tan Damei turned right and wrong with red eyes.

Yang Shi nodded in agreement.

With a loud bang, the wooden door of the private room was knocked open forcefully.

Before Tan Damei and Yang understood what was going on, Xu's figure appeared in front of them.

"Tan Damei, Yang Huafeng, you bastards, you have framed Erxia like this, and you will die!" Xu pointed at Yang's mother and daughter with trembling fingers, gnashing his teeth.

This was probably the first time she had cursed so viciously.

It's just because Yang's mother and daughter have gone too far!
Lady Fen left her seat and stood by the wall with her head bowed.

Seeing Xu who suddenly appeared, Yang Shi and Tan Damei were a little confused, their brains were short-circuited for a while, and they didn't know how to face the situation in front of them.

What made them even more terrified was that Zheng Wanru, Mrs. Kang, and...the ancient county magistrate with an angry face followed behind Mrs. Xu.

All of them stared at Yang's mother and daughter with fierce eyes, wishing to tear them apart, to do such an outrageous thing.

Tan Damei's face suddenly became horrific. If there was only Xu Shi alone, she would not be afraid, and would not admit what she had said or done.

But now that these people are present, it is impossible to argue.

"Mother, you killed me." Tan Damei whispered in Yang's ear next to her, her tone was extremely resentful.

Yang clung tightly to her daughter's clothes, and her body seemed to be swinging. She had long since lost the complacent look she had when she instigated her to do bad things.

"Master Gu, Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Kang, why are you... here?" Tan Damei asked tremblingly.

"Take these three women away to me." The magistrate Gu did not answer Tan Damei's words, but waved to the yamen servant behind him.

Mrs. Kang supported Mrs. Xu to stand aside, and gave way to the road. Immediately, several yamen servants filed into the private room, and escorted Mrs. Fen, Mrs. Yang and Tan Damei out.

Mrs. Xu, Zheng Wanru, and Mrs. Kang also went to the yamen to wait for the punishment of Yang's mother and daughter by the county magistrate.

The scene in the tavern was the idea of ​​Zheng Wanru and Mrs. Kang.

At that time, Mrs. Xu was already confused, but all she wanted was to find Tan Damei and beat her severely to vent her anger.

Zheng Wanru knew that this kind of thing would easily make Tan Damei bite back, saying that Xu's false accusation against her was groundless after all.

If she really accused her of false accusation, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Kang would be severely punished.

At the same time, she also truthfully told Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Kang about the possible consequences, and asked them if they would still sue.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Kang said very firmly that they must sue them. If such wicked people are not severely punished, it will be difficult to get rid of their anger.

Of course Xu was angry at her daughter being so slandered.

Mrs. Kang hated her future daughter-in-law for being treated so badly. If she hadn't known Erxia's character and believed the slander, not only would she have lost a good marriage and a good daughter-in-law, she might have even killed Erxia. At that time, I will become an accomplice in Erxia's death, and a layer of cold sweat will ooze from my back just thinking about it, these people have such vicious thoughts.

Seeing that the two were determined, Zheng Wanru began to think seriously.

Later, after discussing with Mrs. Kang, Zheng Wanru said this to Mrs. Fen, telling her to use Tan Damei's words.

In order to mitigate her own crimes, Mrs. Fen cooperated perfectly, and the marks of the beating on her face were covered up by Mrs. Kang's heavy makeup.

After making arrangements for Mrs. Fen, Zheng Wanru and Mrs. Kang went to the yamen, found the magistrate Gu, and asked him to watch a play, but did not explain who the protagonist of the play was.

Because of Wang Honglei's relationship, I was worried that if the county magistrate knew that the protagonist was Tan Damei, he would sound a reminder or ask someone to tell Wang Honglei, and the plan would be ruined.

Yang's was out of the plan. If she hadn't lost her composure and stayed honestly at Tan Damei's house, she wouldn't have fallen into the trap of herself.

After going to the court, Rao Yang and Tan Damei denied everything and talked about it, but it was useless, because the county magistrate had heard the true story of the incident.

Knowing that the instigator of this incident was Yang Shi, Tan Damei would not forgive her.

Although Mrs. Fen didn't know the truth and was instigated by Tan Damei, she spread rumors indiscriminately for money and maliciously slandered Erxia. Fortunately, Mrs. Kang was vigilant in advance, and at the same time, she had no doubts about Erxia's character Otherwise, the consequences of this incident will be immeasurable.

If the Kang family cancels the engagement, people will wonder why the Kang family cancels the engagement, then rumors that are not good for Er Xia will surely flow out.

Once such rumors spread, it will be difficult for Qiduo's family to argue, and Erxia will definitely be cast aside and shameless, and will no longer be able to hold her head up.

Even if Erxia's innocence is cleared in the end, I'm afraid not many people believe her innocence.

As a result, Er Xia has only one way to go, and that is death!
Otherwise, not only would she be pointed at behind her back, and she would not be able to hold her head high, but the rest of the Tan family would also be pointed at. With Zhao's character, it would be strange not to use a rope to force Erxia to hang herself.

Thinking about it this way, Xu's hatred for Yang's mother and daughter has increased several layers, wishing to go forward and peel their skins and drink their blood, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

To sum up all the above, although Yang Shi and Tan Damei only said a few seemingly simple things, they have already violated the laws of the Daming Dynasty. Detention for ten days, if there is no warning, a fine of ten taels of silver will be fined at the same time.

Tan Damei was supposed to be detained for three days, but because she was Yang's daughter, she had to obey her mother's advice, and she did not do this out of her own heart. The five-day detention was changed to three days, and she was fined [-] taels of silver.

Lady Fen should have been punished thirty sticks, but she was able to take the initiative to admit her mistake, and helped Yang and Tan Damei to tell the truth, and was punished. In the end, she was only fined ten sticks and five taels of silver.

Hearing such a verdict, Yang fainted all of a sudden, and woke up after being pinched by the yamen servant, his eyes were dull, he did not expect such a consequence.

When Wang Honglei arrived after hearing the news, the county magistrate Gu was preparing to order the execution of the sentence.
