Xie Baotian secretly rubbed his eyes with eye drops. As soon as he said these words, it meant that Xie Yushu's glory had nothing to do with the Xie family.
How could Xie Dafu be willing? It was an imperial edict! What an honor it would be to offer something that the county magistrate didn't even have in his family. It would make him hold up his arms and chest wherever he went!
What's more, this is not just a matter of glory. Lord Sipinxiang, if you just pull it, the life of the clan will be better. How can he give up the fat in his mouth!
So he licked his face again and said to Xie Baotian
"What are the eldest nephews saying? As the old saying goes, if you break the bones, the tendons will be connected! They are all descendants of the same ancestor, how can you just break them!
If you feel that I am wrong, I will prepare a banquet for you later to apologize! "
Although Xie Baotian was soft-hearted, thinking about their attitude of trying to kill them all just now completely chilled his heart, so he still ignored them!
Xie Dafu was secretly annoyed, but did not dare to say anything.
Mrs. Xiao stood up after kowtowing and then remembered that her son was also an official. Why should she be afraid of them? She also felt that she was so scared that her legs were weak just now. It was a bit embarrassing. Firstly, she wanted to regain some face. Secondly, she really couldn't stand it. Xie Yushu was prosperous, but she was angry that Xie Dafu was useless, so she jumped out and raised her head and said to Han Zhongyu
"Sir, my son is also an official and a general!
Let me tell you, there is something wrong with Xie Yushu’s character. She is an abandoned woman. Our family doesn’t want broken shoes. Don’t be deceived by her! "
Xie Yujiao was even more dissatisfied with Xie Yushu's kindness. She originally wanted to trample her under her feet, but she suddenly turned over. She wished she could pull her down immediately and also said:
"Yes, that's it. She didn't respect her parents-in-law, she didn't follow the rules of a woman, and she ran away every day, so she was divorced. Don't be fooled by her appearance!
An abandoned woman with a bad reputation like her should sink into the pond! "
"presumptuous!
Bold and cunning woman! If you dare to insult the Lord who is personally conferred by the Holy One, are you saying that the Holy One is fatuous and does not know right from wrong?
He despised the emperor's power and insulted the country's monarch, which is a crime below. What should County Magistrate Liu do according to the law? "
Han Zhongyu suddenly went berserk, which made Magistrate Liu tremble with fright, and Mrs. Xiao and Xie Yujiao almost peed in fear!
County Magistrate Liu also secretly hates these two reckless people who say anything bad and despise the emperor's favor. Even if they behead you, there will be no room for reasoning!
So he said cautiously
"If you despise the emperor's favor, if you commit the following offenses, you will be convicted depending on the severity of the case. In the most serious case, you will be beheaded, and in the lightest case, you will be slapped with fifty big boards to serve as a warning to others!"
When they heard about beheading, Mrs. Xiao and Xie Yujiao really peed!
Kneel down on the ground
"We did not despise the emperor's favor! Sir, sir, we did not speak of the emperor, we spoke of Xie Yushu!"
"Insolent! Xie Yushu was conferred the title of Lord of Jingde Township by the Holy One for her meritorious service!
How dare you, such a cunning woman, to insult the Lord of the country whom the Holy Lord personally ennobles, and yet you say you are not contemptuous of the Emperor's power!
If you country women don't understand the rules, beheading will be spared. If someone comes, they will be executed according to the law!
This pregnant woman should switch from playing the board to the palm! "
"No, no! Sir, you can't hit us. My son is a general. General, you can't hit us!"
Mrs. Xiao panicked now. While struggling to dodge, she moved Xiao Yi out to scare people!
"Hmph! You despise the imperial power, let alone the family members of officials. Even if your son is here, he must be punished for lax governance of the family. If a man cultivates his moral integrity and manages his family, he governs the country and the world. If the family is not governed, how can he govern the country!
However, considering that your son is still serving the country, I will go easy on him and deal with him leniently! "
Hearing that they would be given a lenient treatment, Mrs. Xiao and the two immediately nodded, "That's right, we don't know the etiquette. For the sake of my son, please spare us the punishment!"
After saying that, get up.
Unexpectedly, Han Zhongyu snorted coldly.
"If you are exempted from punishment, where is the power of the emperor!
Where is the majesty of the law!
I want your son to serve the country, so a lighter punishment is the biggest concession. Come here, slap each of them twenty times. If you dare to commit the crime again, the crime will be increased! "
As soon as Han Zhongyu finished speaking, two officials came forward. Regardless of the struggle of Mrs. Xiao and Xie Yujiao, they grabbed their clothes and slapped them loudly!
After twenty spankings were finished, both of their faces were numb, and the corners of their mouths were grinning. They were so frightened that they couldn't even speak!
Xie Yushu is not pitiful at all. The Xie family is full of filthy words and extremely vicious curses, especially Mrs. Xiao. Which eldest girl or daughter-in-law has not suffered from her harsh words? Give her a lesson and let her remember!
Seeing Xie Yujiao still covering her mouth and staring at her viciously, Xie Yushu walked over leisurely and said
"Who asked me to kneel down just now?
I'm really sorry. This girl has been granted the title of Fourth-Rank Township Lord. Before your man can grant you the title of Fourth-Rank Yiren, I will have to kneel down and bow down when you see me again!
But you look a little miserable today! I will exempt you from this gift today! "
Seeing Xie Yushu's crazy look, Xie Yujiao was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth with hatred, but she no longer dared to talk nonsense, so she had to lower her head to hide the hatred and unwillingness in her eyes.
Xie Yushu didn't care whether she hated it or not, she just wanted to put the score to the end, so she continued
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, do any of your subordinates understand the etiquette of meeting the Lord?
Please send someone to educate them, lest some people don't understand, insult me wantonly, and insult me without any hesitation. You and I can't bear to insult the majesty of the Holy One! "
It just so happened that Magistrate Liu and others were here, so he simply used Magistrate Liu's words to completely reveal his identity.
So that these people all know clearly that they are not someone they can beat and scold at will.
Before you talk to her, you'd better know your identity clearly. Don't just rely on your familiarity with Xie Baotian or your familiarity with her to accuse her of not knowing how to count, saying things you shouldn't say, and thinking things you shouldn't think!
Some people are just disrespected by bears!
After hearing this, County Magistrate Liu immediately sent someone out to spread the word to everyone.
"Every commoner and below who meet an official or a lady with a title or a royal title will kneel down and worship.
Do not look directly at
Don't make unreasonable opinions,
Words must be respectful..."
Even the rules and punishments were recited seventy or eighty times before they were finished.
After this, the people who had just used sticks to fight with Xie Yushu's family were so frightened that they shivered, mother! If you feel bad, behead him and send him into exile!
Suddenly everyone knelt down and begged Xie Yushu for mercy.
"We are blinded by lard..."
We shouldn't listen to Xie Dafu...
We were wrong..."
Now that she knew the importance, Xie Yushu didn't bother to argue with them. After all, Xie Baotian and the others still had to live here, so she said
“I won’t pursue what happened in the past, and I won’t do it next time!
Get up, everyone!
Although the law must not be violated, there are still favors outside the law. After all, our surname is Xie, and we cannot write two words of "thank you" in one sentence. My father and second uncle are honest people, and they will not be domineering. thing.
I hope everyone has an idea of how to get along with each other in the future. It won’t look good if they break up! "
"That can't be done. What's wrong with Brother Baotian? Everyone knows that it's our fault this time!"
"Okay, if nothing happens, let's just leave!"
After Xie Yushu finished speaking, everyone ran away as if they were running away. Mrs. Xiao and Xie Yujiao were also helped back to Xie Dafu's house.
"Master Han, Master Liu, you have come all the way, thank you for your hard work, why don't you come in for a sip of tea?"
Xie Yushu dismissed the irrelevant people and invited Han Zhongyu and others into the house.
Xie Baotian and Lu had never seen an official before, so they were frightened and restrained themselves, while Xie Tianqi and Xie Tianming calmly came forward to entertain them.
