The brother-in-law was also a ruthless man. He was born tall and strong, and he only protected his sister behind him. Then he turned his eyes sideways and stared at the person who was about to surround him after being ordered by Magistrate Luo. He put the sword on his waist One pump
"Let me see who of you dares to come here!"
Naturally, the government servants surrounding the brother-in-law did not want to fight each other. Although Magistrate Luo was their immediate boss, the brother-in-law's family was also one of the most powerful in Yecheng. There were high-ranking officials serving in the imperial court in Shangjing.
Although my brother-in-law is not working in Yecheng, he is still on official business.
If they offended Magistrate Luo, they would at most be beaten and lose their jobs, but if they offended this brother-in-law, even if it was more than that, it was possible that the whole family would be driven out of Yecheng.
Therefore, the government officials only gathered around the brother-in-law but did not dare to take action.
This is exactly the same as their usual style.
Seeing this scene, Magistrate Na Luo was angry and anxious.
But he also knew that his brother-in-law was not easy to offend.
Moreover, others were also surrounded, so presumably they could no longer break through the encirclement to beat themselves up.
Seeing that the others had no intention of taking action, the brother-in-law also put away the hilt of the sword in his hand.
He looked at his useless brother-in-law and refused to leave. He just said a harsh word: "Brother-in-law, I'm not afraid to tell you that I came here today just to stand up for my sister! Since I'm here, I must solve this matter." .”
When Magistrate Luo heard this, he was furious: "Who do you think you are! How dare you threaten me like this!"
Perhaps the brother-in-law had just beaten Magistrate Luo, and now he was being held by his sister, so he was no longer impulsive at the moment.
"Threat? This is not a threat. I just want my brother-in-law to choose between that *** and my sister." The brother-in-law said with a cold face.
"What's the choice? Your sister has nothing to do if she stays at home. Besides, why are you getting involved in the affairs between our husband and wife?" Magistrate Luo obviously didn't want to make this choice.
After all, although he is dim now, he still knows that he can be so stable as an official in Yecheng, and his wife's natal family has contributed a lot, and he naturally does not want to lose this big help.
Therefore, even his words at the moment were very vague.
It's a pity that this brother-in-law is not the kind of person who likes to be careless and just make do with it.
He only continued, "As long as I call her sister! I will take care of this matter!"
Then he added, "If you choose that girl from Hualou today, my sister and I will never rely on your Luo family to beg for nothing! Although our Hu family is not a family with bells and pans, we can raise a woman and two But it’s not difficult for children!”
After hearing what his brother-in-law said, Magistrate Luo also knew that he was not only here to cause trouble, but also wanted to make a clean break with him.
Mrs. Naluo was also shocked when she heard this. She is a traditional woman and only thinks of obeying her husband when she gets married. Now she and Magistrate Naluo are both very young and have two children. If they really broke up, wouldn't it be a shame?
She quickly said, "Axu, please don't talk nonsense!"
Naluo County Magistrate knew this and dared to treat his wife so badly. After listening to his wife's words, he quickly helped Yinghe and said, "Yes, Liniang and I have been husband and wife for decades. We must have this kind of relationship." She is still here, and besides, in today’s world, how can a man not have three wives and four concubines? Although I am eating wine and wine outside, at least I still recognize Liniang!”...
"As long as you don't make trouble, I guarantee that Sister Hua outside will never come in!" Magistrate Luo hurriedly swore.
Seeing that Magistrate Luo had sworn, Mrs. Luo's heart softened a lot. She didn't want to make a fuss. She just thought that she could make do with her life as long as Magistrate Luo didn't bring people to dance in front of her. That’s it.
"Axu, your brother-in-law already knows that he was wrong, why don't we just let it go?" Mrs. Luo said.
This brother-in-law is also a man himself, so he naturally knows how unreliable the guarantees this man gave out were forced by the situation.
And don't look at Sister Rui, although she comes from a humble background, but her fierceness is no match for her sister.
But she couldn't help herself. Ever since she got married, her mind has only been focused on men.
It was not easy for him to tell his sister directly about this now.
The situation in the court, after all, in his mind, whether Magistrate Luo is still considered his family is still to be determined.
He was quite angry at the fact that iron could not become steel.
And just when he was thinking about whether to tell his brother-in-law the news he had recently learned from the court, the sound of a woman's sobbing could be heard outside the door.
Then Sister Narui stepped into the inner room. When she saw Magistrate Luo, she cried pitifully and threw herself at him.
Her cheeks were red and swollen at the moment, her clothes were messy, and she clearly looked like she had been beaten badly.
"Master, Sister Rui is being bullied so badly." Sister Rui just cried.
Magistrate Luo lowered his head and saw that Sister Rui was covered in injuries. He couldn't help but get angry again and said, "Who bullied you!"
Sister Rui directly pointed her hand in the direction of her brother-in-law, "Of course it's your brother-in-law. I just wanted to see if the master was injured, but to my surprise, my brother-in-law just kicked the slave family out. The slave family's life is so miserable."
While speaking, she only vaguely revealed the corner of the bright yellow paper bag in her hand.
Magistrate Luo couldn't help but swallowed when he saw the paper bag.
This is something that can bring him extreme happiness, so how could he give it up?
And when he saw the fierce brother-in-law, Magistrate Luo actually just said, "Hu Xu! Please apologize to Sister Rui! Let's leave this matter behind today."
After hearing this, Mrs. Luo couldn't help but feel disappointed in her eyes.
Naturally, Hu Xu was even less likely to apologize to the flower girl.
"What will happen to you if I don't apologize?" Hu Xu asked coldly.
Then he pulled his sister over with his backhand and said, "Sister! Do you still need to live with this man? He asked your brother to apologize to that little *** today for that little ***! Today it's your brother , tomorrow will be our parents!"
"Sister! I'm here to stand up for you today! You should have seen clearly the nature of that man. If you choose this man today! I won't care if anything happens in the future."
Mrs. Luo didn't speak, just held the handkerchief and silently wiped her tears.
Seeing that Mrs. Luo remained silent, Hu Xu continued to protect his sister behind him.
Then he just said loudly, "I'll leave what I said today. It's impossible for me to apologize to this ***! You don't have to choose between my sister and that ***, you Let’s make peace with my sister directly!”
Upon hearing this threat, Magistrate Luo's attitude softened again. He was about to bow his head, but Sister Rui immediately said, "Master, you are the official of Yecheng's parents. Who dares to disrespect you in Yecheng? Some people here today actually dare to threaten you with this, don’t they know how much they weigh?”
Then Sister Rui took advantage of the situation and took the seat again, and started to quarrel with Magistrate Luo: "Master, why don't you just divorce that woman? We won't have to go to such trouble in the future. You are a county official. How could it be manipulated by the Hu family?"
After listening to Sister Rui's words, Magistrate Luo was held there, and he felt that he was feeling proud again.
So he slapped the table and said, "Okay! Just leave!"
After saying this, Magistrate Luo was about to order people to find pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xu was already prepared. He directly placed a letter of divorce that he had written long ago in front of Magistrate Luo.
Seeing the He Li Shu that Hu Xu had prepared early in the morning, even Mrs. Luo couldn't help but give Hu Xu a strange look.
Hu Xu looked like he had been making trouble here and was ready to make peace.
Could it be that he came to make this fuss today just for reconciliation?
Even Sister Rui, who deliberately came out to disrupt the situation just now, couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
However, even though she was smart, the environment she was in also determined that she could not think of going to a deeper level.
Moreover, the information gap between the two parties did not allow her to plan further.
She just felt vaguely uneasy based on her years of experience.
Magistrate Luo sat up clumsily and was about to sign the divorce letter, but she subconsciously grabbed Magistrate Luo and said, "Master, doesn't the reconciliation mean that you are also at fault? I think we shouldn't reconcile now, we should directly Just write a letter of divorce."
After hearing Sister Rui's words, Hu Xu immediately glared at Sister Rui fiercely. His eyes were as terrifying as a hawk.
Under that look, Rui
Sister only felt that the other party might jump up and bite her neck off next.
So her next words were swallowed back in her stomach.
Hu Xu only said, "Brother-in-law, if we reconcile, our family will not pursue my sister's dowry. I will just treat it as something to apologize for your sins. But if you write a letter of divorce, we will not hold back the dowry." But you have to carry all the boxes back!"
Hearing this, Magistrate Naluo was startled. Over the years, he had been eating, drinking, having fun, and doing business. Although he had also plundered a lot of money from his subordinates, those mud-legged people had to face the loess and back to the sky all day long. There's not enough oil and water for him to squander.
Therefore, he actually used the dowry that his wife brought from her natal family.
Now, although he has not squandered everything, he has left nothing behind.
If he really had to carry out these dowries now, he really didn't know where to go.
What's more, the Hu family are also decent people. If he writes a letter of divorce, wouldn't it be tantamount to falling out with the Hu family directly?
Therefore, considering these aspects, he can only reconcile.
Magistrate Luo didn't hesitate, and quickly signed and pledged his name on the wife's release document.
Later, when it was Mrs. Luo's turn, Mrs. Luo just glanced at Magistrate Luo blankly. She seemed unwilling to believe that the man who had been sleeping with her for decades would abandon her without hesitation.
"Sister, let's go." Hu Xu was also afraid that his sister would never forget her old feelings for this man, and at the moment he just wanted to cut the knot quickly, so he only reminded his sister verbally.
Mrs. Luo closed her eyes and sighed, knowing that there was no room for change.
As if he was afraid that they would regret it, Hu Xu quickly put the letter of release into his sleeve.
