Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 76

After the New Year's Eve dinner, there were fireworks in the sky in Pengcheng, which only flashed in the dark night, and then disappeared quickly. This place is not like Luodu City, which can be gorgeous from nightfall to midnight, and the children of ordinary people They played with firecrackers on the street, and they would not spend the money to buy fireworks and set them off.

Brother Han, who can already toddle, asked his nanny to take him out to look at the flickering things outside. Now he can only speak single words, and the most he says is 'go', he is going here, he is going there.

At the beginning of December, Brother Han’s first birthday was held in the Zhifu, and some guests were invited here. Luodu City gave him a lot of first-year gifts when they came back with the annual gifts. He just stared at the food. of.

Shao Ziyu prepared some fireworks and waited for the time to go off. Li's mother had already prepared incense and paper money. Lin Qingran changed her clothes and went to the Laofu Temple in Pengcheng to offer incense and pray for her family.

"You really don't need me to go with you." Shao Ziyu hugged her son to accompany her into the carriage, Lin Qingran smiled and touched Brother Han's hand, "Didn't you let Shiyi and Ah Jiu accompany me, you stay at home with your son Watch the fireworks."

Brother Han waved his hand heartlessly to say goodbye to Lin Qingran, turned his head, and shouted at Shao Ziyu, "Dad, go."

Shao Ziyu watched the carriage go away before going in. Brother Han clapped his hands and watched the fireworks flickering in the sky from time to time, smiling very happily.

Shao Ziyu ordered someone to light the fire, and carried him under the eaves, putting his arms around Shao Ziyu's neck. Brother Han looked curiously at the fireworks tube shining with sparks in the distance. The colorful blooms, Brother Han watched with his mouth wide open, until the light dissipated, he pointed to the pyrotechnic tube, urging them to hurry up and continue to set it off
Here Lin Qingran arrived at Lao Fu Temple, and Si Qi helped her get out of the carriage.

Eleven and Ajiu guarded her one after the other into the Laofu Temple. There were a lot of people in this temple. People who lived in Pengcheng would come here to offer incense. The temple is not big. It is full of incense offered by the people.

Further forward is a small incense burner. The incense here is less, but it looks more wealthy than the big incense burner at the bottom. Here is the incense burnt at the expense of rich people in Pengcheng, and it lasts till dawn.

Lin Qingran went to the main hall to ask for peace talismans for both Shao Ziyu and Brother Han. When she came out, it was almost midnight, and there were more and more people in the temple.

Lin Qingran walked to the Guanyin Hall, it was a bit cleaner here, there was a marriage tree not far away, and many people were asking for marriage lottery there, Lin Qingran looked at Eleven and Ah Jiu and smiled, "Everyone is here, you can Go there and ask for a talisman, and come here when you are done."

The entrance and exit of the Avalokitesvara Hall are also used to pray for blessings. It seemed so strange that Ah Jiu and Shi Yi followed in. They glanced at each other and saw that the Marriage Tree was not far away, so they nodded and passed.

Siqi followed Lin Qingran into the Guanyin Hall and knelt down to pray for blessings.

After a while, someone suddenly chanted a poem behind her. The voice was particularly abrupt in the quiet Guanyin Hall. Lin Qingran squinted her eyes and continued to pray, but it seemed that she had no intention of stopping, so she opened her eyes, and suddenly Floating this sentence, "Qiaoxiaoqianxi, beautiful eyes look forward to it."

Looking sideways, it was a man in a white brocade robe, standing in front of the futon next to him, he didn't know whether to kneel or worship, and a jade flute was pinned to his waist, with a smile on his mouth, and his appearance was handsome.

Lin Qingran looked away lightly, and Siqi behind him saw such a man looking at his lady so presumptuously, and reminded him, "Master, this is Guanyin Hall." What are you doing staring at our lady all the time.

The man smiled, "I know this is Guanyin Hall, but I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful scene here."

There was a look of anger on Siqi's face, how could someone speak rudely in such a way, Lin Qingran finished praying calmly, stood up after three prostrations, seeing him standing sideways like this, she walked over to be close to him, looked up at him, with an expression Indifferently, "Get out of the way."

"Madam, are you lucky enough to know your name?" The man stepped aside, and Lin Qingran walked over, ignoring him. When he walked out of the Guanyin Hall, the man chased him out, " Ma'am, next."

Siqi turned his head and glared at him, "Young master, why don't you be ashamed to follow others like this."

As if he had never hit a wall like this before, the man's face was stunned for a moment, and then his serious expression in Guanyin Hall just now became a little frivolous.

He even walked in front of Lin Qingran to stop her, and there were two servants behind him. This three-on-two was sure to be molested.

It's just that before the man stepped forward to make a few more flirtatious words, suddenly a sword crossed his eyes, and then the sword slapped the man's chest, knocking him back a few steps, Eleven and Ah Jiu stopped him. in front of Lin Qingran.

The servant behind the man also hurried forward to protect him, but his body was too weak compared to Eleven. The man was also a man who knew the times. Seeing these two people protecting Lin Qingran, he knew that he must It's a slap in the face, and he looked at Eleven and Ah Jiu with a smile, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

Eleven directly pulled the two servants away, and punched the man directly on the cheek, "How dare you speak insultingly to our wife."

Eleven wanted to come a few more times, but Ah Jiu stopped him. There are so many people watching here, is it really necessary for people to know who they are? It's not a joke.

Sending Lin Qingran down the steps of the Guanyin Hall, Eleven, with a bad temper, shook his fist at the man, looking fierce
Back at the magistrate, Brother Han had already fallen asleep, Lin Qingran did not mention this matter to Shao Ziyu, Ah Jiu and Shi Shi lived in the yamen, and did not tell Shao Ziyu at the moment.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, no one in the yamen had returned yet, so early in the morning, someone suddenly beat drums and shouted for grievances.

On the [-]th, he came to the magistrate to report. Shao Ziyu rushed to the Yamen, changed his official uniform, and brought the drummer into the hall. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He sued the young master of the Yin family for molesting a good woman, forcing him The daughter hit the cabinet, was injured, and is still unconscious.

It happened last night in a small shop. The shopkeeper Wang, who celebrated the Chinese New Year, didn't close the shop. He sold some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. When it got dark, he wanted to buy some beef and marinate it at night. Come home tomorrow. Guests can eat stew.

But this shop cannot be left alone, so shopkeeper Wang asked his daughter Yufeng to look at it for a while, and went out to buy beef by himself, but the business at the beef stall yesterday was very good, and there were too many people queuing up, so shopkeeper Wang waited for a long time. When he came back, he saw that his shop seemed to have been burglarized. The ground was spilled with soy sauce, vinegar, oil and salt. His daughter was lying beside the counter, her head was bleeding and she was unconscious.

When I asked the person at the opposite door, I saw the young master of the Yin family passing by just now, and when I saw Yufeng alone in the shop, he came in to tease him, drove him into a hurry, injured him, and ran away.

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly invited a doctor, and his daughter didn't wake up all night. Shopkeeper Wang was so angry and anxious that he went to the Yin's house to get justice, so he came directly to the Yamen to file a complaint early in the morning.

This son of the Yin family is the only son of a large merchant family in Pengcheng. He has several older sisters who are well married. The whole family dotes on him very much. They often molested girls from good families on weekdays. Girls and women are not spared. If he thinks he looks good and likes it, he can come forward and make a few jokes. Although there is no real robbing, it's just verbal teasing, but when he meets shopkeeper Wang's daughter, he feels humiliated and resists fiercely, so something happens. up.

Shao Ziyu sent someone to the Yin's house to invite him over. Of course, Yin Tianlei knew what he had done, and knocked the girl unconscious in a hurry, so he hurriedly asked Master Yin for help.

But the official sent someone to bring someone, and Mr. Yin couldn't stop him, so he had to follow the official send to the Yamen.

Waiting for Yin Tianlei to kneel down, the master secretary told the story of the case again, and Master Yin still felt that a little money could solve the problem, and it was just a problem of too much and too little.

Ah Jiu, who was standing behind Shao Ziyu, looked at the kneeling Yin Tianlei. He looked familiar. He lowered his head and said a few words beside Shao Ziyu. There are so many things committed, it is inevitable to be wrongly judged, this case will be retried at a later date after investigation, and the prisoner Yin Tianlei is temporarily detained and taken away!"

The two fathers and sons of the Yin family were stunned there. There were so many crimes committed. Didn’t the shopkeeper Wang come to report to the officials? Temporarily detained!

"Master Shao, wait for Master Shao." Seeing his son being taken down, Master Yin quickly caught up with Shao Ziyu, panting for breath while running with a big belly.

Shao Ziyu stopped, and he chased after him, "Master Shao, the dog is naughty, my Yin family is willing to pay all the money for the consultation, and will also compensate the money."

"That's what you should do." Shao Ziyu glanced at him coldly.

Master Yin nodded hastily, "Yes, yes, this is what we should do, Mr. Shao, then is it about taking into custody?"

"Visiting is not allowed until the retrial." Shao Ziyu left without saying this.

Master Yin froze on the spot, he didn't offend Lord Shao, what the hell is going on?
Yin Tianlei was imprisoned for three days. On the eighth day of the eighth day, he waited for all the people working in the yamen to come back for a retrial. During the three days in prison, Yin Tianlei lived like a year.

He just opened his mouth to flirt with women, but he never did anything to others. Who knew that woman would be so strong that she directly bumped her head against the cabinet.

This is not enough to imprison him. Prison is simply not a place for people to stay. In the past three days, he has not been able to eat well or sleep well. There are bugs everywhere in it, and the smell is unpleasant. All the eating, drinking, and messing up are done in one place. It is simply living. I can't go down.

Even if Yin Tianlei wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out why he was imprisoned. Who would be wrong to moleste, how dare he molested the magistrate's wife.

During the retrial on the eighth day of the lunar new year, there were many people watching outside the yamen. How could Shao Ziyu say that he was avenging his own private revenge because he joked about his wife.

He sent people to inquire about some things that the second ancestor of the Yin family had done before, and selected a few of them. Yin Tianlei molested other women, which damaged their reputation. Those who could not get married in the village also had Yin Tianlei molested other women. People, this woman was scolded by her husband's family, and she even frightened other girls to cry. The matter of shopkeeper Wang's daughter was the last to say. A girl from a good family, who damaged her reputation without any intention of repentance, until today almost killed the daughter of shopkeeper Wang, you can plead guilty."

Yin Tianlei was a little confused, he couldn't remember what happened so long ago, but Shao Ziyu brought up the witnesses one by one to question, and someone at the door added that he had molested someone else Women, there is no way to deny it.

"If there are more people like you in Pengcheng, how will the common people live in peace, how will women go out with peace of mind, and you are not a first-time offender. This matter must be severely punished." Shao Ziyu said righteously.

As a result of the final verdict, Yin Tianlei was directly dragged down to beat [-] boards. After the beating, he would be locked up in prison for three months and fined money.

After the [-]th board, everyone can be injured, and it will take two months to recuperate in bed, and then go to prison, this life is really tormented, so after the trial of the case is over, Master Yin hurried to find Shao Ziyu Here comes the plea.
