The system always wants to send me to the heroine

There was a noise coming from a house not far away in the street. An old woman ran out first, followed by a young man and woman.

"No, mother, I beg you to help us. If I can't marry Miss Qinghe in this life, I will never be happy again in my life!"

The young man hurriedly grabbed the woman's clothes, but was scolded by her.

"You unfilial son, how dare you say that? For this witch, have you even disowned your mother? Not to mention that you are not a good match, the master has already said that your horoscopes are not compatible and your fates are against each other. If you insist on marrying me, then I, an old woman, will die!"

Was it the wicked mother-in-law who beat up the couple in love? After hearing this, Wu Yuyun shook her head secretly in her heart.

She doesn't care about family prejudice and the compatibility of horoscopes, but many people in the world do. Thanks to her travels among the people, she was able to see their sufferings.

Although she understood it, she was really powerless to do anything now.

The little guy tugged at the corner of his clothes and looked at himself with a pair of confused eyes.

The little guy, who hasn't gotten over his own troubles yet, probably doesn't know what to do for a moment.

Wu Yuyun could only touch the little head of the loli with pity.

"You can't intervene in this matter, little Lizhi. It's hard for an honest official to judge family affairs. This kind of family dispute is not within the scope of your authority as a county magistrate."

The little guy's eyes dimmed when he heard that.

Fortunately, she was the eldest princess, so she didn't need to have any prejudice against the little guy she liked, nor did she need to worry about whether the guy's horoscopes were compatible.

Oh, but if it were according to her own personality, even if she was from an ordinary family, even if there were some obstacles, she would never let go of the person she liked.

"Why are you making a scene in the street? Why don't you tell me?"

When everyone heard what was said, they looked and saw a Taoist priest walking over. He had a long beard and a green robe. He had the appearance of an immortal, and he looked like an otherworldly master, which made people like him at first sight.

The young man was in a dilemma, and when he saw the Taoist holding a white cloth sign for fortune-telling, he grabbed this life-saving straw.

"Master, please save me. Please don't ask about my horoscope. Please tell me whether my marriage with Miss Qinghe will be auspicious or not."

Chapter 34 Blood Letter

Although the young man's heart was with his sweetheart, he could not withstand his old mother's threat of death. He was almost on his knees, and even Wu Yuyun could not help but sigh.

Divination to inquire about good or bad luck has been around since ancient times. Even the emperors were no exception and it was common to set up altars, pray to gods and ask for divination, etc.

Therefore, based on Wu Yuyun's understanding of divination, she was afraid that what the young man had grasped was not a life-saving straw. Instead, the result of the divination might cause this star-crossed couple to slide into the abyss.

Since the horoscopes are incompatible, how can one predict a good outcome?

"Okay, okay, I'll let your rebellious son give up this idea. Taoist priest, please perform the ritual now. I am an old woman of my age, how could I be wrong? I am thinking about your future, right? How can there be any good results if you marry a jinx?"

The old woman cursed loudly in the street, and in her words, she also agreed to let the Taoist give it a try.

People always like to join in the fun, and when this energetic old woman shouted, many neighbors came over to watch the fun.

The fate of this young couple has developed into a situation where it has to be decided by this Taoist.

Wu Yuyun shook her head. She was afraid that if she continued reading, it would only add to her sadness.

Unfortunately, her little guy was completely absorbed and had no intention of leaving, so she didn't want to spoil his interest.

However, Wu Yuyun silently held the person next to her tightly.

Anyway, no matter what happens to others, she will never let go of her own little one.

"You want to predict marriage without asking the horoscope? Hey, you've asked the right person. Although I'm not very talented, I do have this ability. All you need to do is drop a drop of your fingertip blood into this bowl. I'll do my part and the answer will be clear."

The Taoist twirled his beard slightly, put away the folding table he was carrying, and handed out a wooden bowl.

The young man and woman were trembling with nervousness as they faced their fate. In the end, the young man took his sweetheart's hand, gently cut their fingertips with a knife, and dripped blood on them.

Afterwards, the old Taoist began his performance. He filled a wooden bowl with water, chanted spells, burned talismans, and made hand seals. He then drew out his peach wood sword, muttered something to the wooden bowl, and performed an exaggerated sword dance.

Some of the onlookers couldn't help but joke, "Master, are you asking for divination or catching ghosts?"

The Taoist was not angry. He just turned around and smiled, then grasped the peach wood sword with his backhand.

"How can ordinary people understand the practices of immortals? Now, let me show you the results of divination!"

At this time, the Taoist priest was holding a wooden sword in one hand and twirling a sword finger with the other. His green robe fluttered, making him look very majestic. For a moment, no one questioned him anymore.

"The time has come, the hexagram will reveal itself, hurry up and get what you want!"

The Taoist priest shouted loudly, put away the wooden sword, drank the water mixed with the blood of the two people's fingertips in the wooden bowl in one gulp, held it in his mouth, then pasted a piece of yellow paper on the table and sprayed the water in his mouth on it.

A horrifying thing happened. It was clear that only a drop of blood from the fingertips of the two people was taken just now. After the Taoist sprayed water on it, the yellow paper was instantly covered in blood.

Not only that, after just a moment, the deep red spot gradually formed the word "凶" (dangerous) on the paper.

"It's evil, and it's very evil!"

The people around had never seen such a strange scene before. They were all shocked and no longer had the contempt they had just had.

The legs of a young couple went weak and they both fell to the ground.

It's over for both of them.

Only to hear the old woman's sharp accusatory voice again, "You are an unlucky star", "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, how could I have chosen the wrong person", and so on, as if the fate of the two men had been determined.

Wu Yuyun knew that after this incident, no one would dare to propose marriage to this girl anymore.

People are like this, they like to impose their fears and dissatisfaction on the weak, even if the little girl is not at fault at all.

She couldn't bear it, but she had no choice. The development of things was exactly as she expected.

When she was slightly distracted, she felt a force and the little guy struggled to break free from her hand and walked towards the crowd angrily.

This little guy, didn’t I just say that the government can’t intervene in family disputes?

Wu Yuyun quickly stepped forward and grabbed the little guy's arm.

But the little guy had already shouted with his face flushed.

"How dare you use such a trick to deceive the people and defraud them of money and fame? What crime should you be punished for?"

The soft voice was inexplicably attractive at this moment, and everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.

"Xiao Yunyun, stop making trouble. I can't interfere in other people's family affairs, but this Taoist priest is undoubtedly a liar!"

The little fellow even slapped his hand that was holding her in anger, and the sound was heard by everyone present.

Naturally, some people recognized the dwarf who spoke in front of them. He was the county magistrate, Lord Li.

"Master Li, you can't wrongly accuse me. I was just trying to help this mother and son out of trouble. Please forgive me."

The Taoist priest was still twirling his beard and smiling, not panicking at all.

This method was a secret in the industry. Having been in the underworld for many years, he didn't believe that a young county magistrate could have such insight and be able to expose him with just one glance.

"Accusing you? Humph, this county never accuses good people. You just smeared turmeric powder on yellow paper and wrote the word '凶'. The bowl was actually filled with vinegar. You deliberately used a wooden bowl to hold water and performed an exaggerated performance just to make it difficult for people to see the color of the liquid. For example, the principle that alkaline water turns red when it encounters an indicator, this county knew it when he was in junior high school, uh, when he was a student!"

To be honest, those little tricks of pretending to be ghosts are not worth mentioning. Seeing the Taoist's confident smile suddenly froze on his face, Wu Yuyun realized that what the little guy said was true.

This is a magic performance. To perform magic well, technique accounts for half and acting skills account for the other half.

But, the little guy said he knew it because he was a Tongsheng? Not to mention that Tongsheng would never learn such evil ways, how could the little guy have ever obtained Tongsheng?

The thought only flashed through Wu Yuyun's mind briefly, and the Taoist's eyes had already become vague. As soon as he saw him move, he knew that he wanted to escape. Wu Yuyun was not willing to let him go. He picked up a stone and threw it with the internal force of the "Eternal Life Skill", which instantly hit the Taoist's calf.

The Taoist who had the aura of an immortal just now now fell to the ground like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, and his image disappeared without a trace.

"Please spare my life, sir. I just want to make a living. Please have mercy on me, sir. Please have mercy on me!"

This man was sensible and he just lay on the ground, confessed his crime and begged for mercy.

"You wrote down the word 'murder' in advance, so it must not be random. Tell me, who instructed you to do this?"

Wu Yuyun asked coldly.

"Yes, it was her. It was this old woman who paid me to cheat on her son!"

The Taoist only wanted to make merit and avoid punishment, so he sold the man in a hurry.

Chapter 35 Education

"Oh, you damned idiot, why did you drag me into this? Sir, please forgive me, sir. I didn't mean to cheat anyone. I just wanted to teach my good-for-nothing son a lesson!"

The woman was terrified when she heard this. It was just her family affair, but who could have thought that it would suddenly lead to a lawsuit.

Thinking about how she could just now boast about her own vision and satirize the daughter-in-law whom she disliked anyway, her anger suddenly turned on herself and she embarrassed herself among the neighbors. The old woman could not help but glare at her son, making the young man shiver.

"Hurry up, this is not a courtroom, there is no need to be polite!"

I scratched my head and felt a little worried.

No wonder Xiao Yunyun wanted to stop me. Even if I caught this guy in the act, it seemed to be completely useless.

If the Taoist priest was hired by the old woman, this incident cannot even be called a case. There is no such crime under the existing laws. At best, it is just a street magic performance.

Well, even if a victim appears in front of you, it is just someone else's family affair. In the thinking of the ancients, family disgrace should not be made public, so family affairs are generally handled by oneself or within the family, and rarely come to the court.

In the area of ​​"civil law" in ancient laws, there are actually serious deficiencies.

So even if I wanted to lend a helping hand to the young couple, I'm afraid I can't do anything.

"Well, forget it. Since this is your family affair, the county will not interfere. But if I hear you use this trick to deceive people again, I will probably have you go to jail!"

When the Taoist heard this, he could only nod in agreement repeatedly.

His own "Taoist magic" was exposed on the spot and he became a laughing stock. Even without my advice, he could no longer stay in Qiyun.

He immediately packed his bags and planned to run away.

I laughed secretly and then wanted to leave.

Now it's time for Xiao Yunyun and I to take a walk. Besides, she just said some shocking things to Long Aotian that I can't ignore at all. As her guardian, I have to educate her!

How can a girl just accept someone as her husband?

Unfortunately, I couldn't escape, and the young man knelt down in front of me.

"Sir, Lord Qingtian Li, my mother's behavior really makes me feel embarrassed. I beg you to have mercy and help us. I can't live without Miss Qinghe!"

Ah, I’m entangled as expected.

But for this matter, even if the emperor grants the marriage, both parties must be willing. I am just a small county magistrate, not a bully, so how can I help?

Although it was indeed quite pitiful, the old woman seemed to be so hard-hearted that she was willing to hire a Taoist priest to cheat and break up the young couple.

Not to mention that I am afraid that I am not good at speaking. Even if I said something to comfort her, I am afraid it would be difficult to change the old woman's decision.

The old woman started mumbling again, disdainful of her son for embarrassing himself in front of the neighbors and the county magistrate, and I could only give her a helpless look.

It is almost impossible to have the best of both worlds in this kind of situation. In my opinion, it all depends on whether the young man is willing to muster up his greatest courage for the sake of his sweetheart.

Instead of kneeling down and begging others for help like he is doing now, others can help for a while, but he needs to live with his old mother and his sweetheart for the rest of his life.

On the way home, I complained to Xiao Yunyun. What happened today made me feel more uncomfortable than handling an extremely difficult case.

"Really? The Confucian Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues are all anti-human!"

I waved my fist angrily.

When Xiao Yunyun heard this, she touched my little head with amusement.

"Oh, this doesn't sound like something a scholar would say. I heard that the imperial examinations mostly test Confucianism, right?"

Of course I heard the sarcasm in Xiao Yunyun's words, but I only said these things to Xiao Yunyun, whom I trust, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"I don't understand such profound principles. Take today's incident for example. Confucianism emphasizes the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues to establish family power and emphasize filial piety. But the result is that all they educate are mama's boys like that young man. Isn't it unfair to little girls?"

Xiao Yunyun couldn't help but smile when she heard this. It was the first time she heard the term "mama's boy".

"The ruler of our dynasty is a woman who advocates equality between men and women, and has not enacted such rules and regulations."

"Not enough, how can it be enough? The values ​​of society have long been formed. As long as people still blindly follow the old customs, nothing will change. Of course, I am not saying that it is wrong to practice filial piety. Filial piety should also be based on good, rather than blindly and unconditionally obeying. Think about it, if the young man made the choice today and abandoned his beloved for the sake of filial piety, what kind of situation would it put her in?"

I pointed with my little finger.

This kind of tragedy was common in ancient times. The Peacock Flies Southeast and Lu You and Tang Wan are all examples.

The more I talked, the more excited I became. I put my hands on my hips, took a step forward with great momentum, and stood in front of Xiao Yunyun.

"So, little Yunyun, you need to be very careful about this kind of thing. Not everyone can be your 'husband'. The girl today did nothing wrong, but you see that mama's boy is so embarrassed and he can't make up his mind. He even kneels here and there. It's really infuriating! If I hadn't stepped forward to expose that man's scam, the girl would have really become the so-called person who brings bad luck to husbands and relatives!"

Well, reputation is also very important. If you call me "husband" to outsiders, you will not be able to get married.

It's a two-pronged approach to educate the playful little Yunyun.

"Xiao Li Zhi, am I the kind of person who can't make up his mind and is easily influenced by others?"

Wooah, Xiao Yunyun not only didn't care, she also put her arms around my neck affectionately and pulled me towards her.
