Cui Zhi stared at the candy and shook his head in reply.
Di Ying continued shaking the candy and asked, "Did your father bully your little wife?"
Cui Zhi continued to shake his head: "No. My mother is fierce and never lets my father talk to my little wife. Big brother, can you give me your candy bar? I talked a lot and am so tired."
Di Ying smiled and gave him a piece.
Cui Zhi immediately stuffed it into his mouth, and his mouth watered even more as he ate it. However, his eyes did not move away from the other two candy bars, but became even more intense.
Then answer the questions faster and more actively.
Di Ying asked: "Do you still remember the appearance of the elder brother who took away your little wife? Does he look fierce? Is he tall? Is he fat? Is there anything different on his face?"
Cui Zhi replied: "I didn't see his face. He hit me from behind. When I was in great pain, I saw him hit my little wife too. I wanted to help, but I got up Not coming.
He just carried my little wife away. Did you ask him if he was tall? He seems to be taller, fatter, and dirtier than my dad.
He was so dirty, full of dirt. My little wife herds cows every day, and the soil on her body is not as much as that of my elder brother. "
Di Ying asked again: "Is that dirt or mud on his body?"
Cui Zhi replied: "Mud? Oh, oh, yes, there is a lot of mud, and it falls to the ground when I walk. It's yellow, and it's the same as the shit that falls out when I pull my pants pockets. Hehe , he is so much older than me, and yet he is a loser and has no future."
Di Ying: "Then you didn't chase after the pain anymore?"
Cui Zhi: "Yes, yes, but I don't know where to chase him. He walked towards the side where the sun was setting. I chased him and saw the woods. My mother never let me go into the woods, saying that it was inside When there was a big bad wolf, I was afraid and didn't dare to go in. So I just picked up my cow and went home."
Di Ying: "..."
He did something unkind.
Instead of giving the candy to Cui Zhi, he gave it back to Kong Twelve.
When Cui Zhi saw it, he became anxious and wanted to grab it.
Kong Twelve glanced at his master, and then knocked Cui Zhi unconscious with a palm.
Di Ying withdrew her gaze and signaled for Cui Zhi's mother to be brought closer.
Ask her directly: "You taught your son how to do things in the house?"
Mrs. Cui had been anxious before. Now when she heard such a question, she asked loudly: "Didn't your mother teach you this before you got married? This kind of thing is not taught by your mother shamelessly. How can you still be the one who doesn't care about anything?" What did my father teach me?”
Di Ying looked at her and said coldly: "Yan Min was only twelve years old when he was bought by your family, and your son Cui Zhi was only eleven years old at that time! How dare you do something worse than a beast?" matter!"
"What's wrong with being eleven or twelve years old? Yan Min is already our daughter-in-law, and it is her duty to serve my son.
Besides, sir, do you really have the nerve to ask me this? Don't bully me because I'm from the countryside and don't understand things. Among the young masters from your wealthy families, who didn't have a bed-warming girl at the age of eleven or twelve?
Have you learned how to be a governor? What are you pretending to be here with me? What don't I know? I am a scholar, even if I am illiterate, I have heard a lot.
how? Do you, a wealthy family, do things as a matter of course? Is it ethics? When we rural people behave like animals, we act indiscriminately and illegally?
But that’s right, anyway, the Yamen opens to the south, so how can you officials be justified in what you say? They all blame my useless baggage for only being a scholar but not an official. Otherwise, it won't be your turn to talk to me. "
After hearing these words, Di Ying's voice not only turned cold, but his face also turned cold.
He asked solemnly: "Did your husband tell you these words?"
Mrs. Cui raised her head and said very proudly: "Yes, I became his wife when I was twelve years old. But I was not married to him at that time. He told me in the field.
He was not a scholar at that time, and had not even passed the Tongsheng examination. But I believe in him. He is the only scholar in our village. If he fails to pass the exam, who else can pass the exam?
Didn’t he pass the exam later? His mother-in-law also scolded me, saying she blamed me for seducing him, causing him to only pass the exam as a boy student, but failed to pass the exam as a civil servant, and failed to become an official.
Damn, those two old immortals were so lazy all day long that they almost lost all their family property. If it weren’t for my ability and my mother’s family’s support, I don’t know what our family would be like now.
His family can marry me as their daughter-in-law. I don’t know how much smoke is coming out of their ancestral graves. They are not satisfied with this.
Huh, if that guy hadn't been admitted as a scholar and my son couldn't leave me, otherwise I would have divorced him and lived a good life together. "
Di Ying's voice had no ups and downs. After listening to the woman's words, she still asked calmly and calmly: "How did your parents-in-law die?"
When Cui asked, her eyes widened strangely.
He asked back: "The rules of our village are: old people over sixty years old should be thrown off the cliff to feed the wolves. What? Sir, you don't know? You are really from out of town, right? Are you pretending to be an official?"
Di Ying: "..."
He didn't even want to slap the table anymore. He just waved his hand and had the woman dragged down and locked up with her son.
As the mouths of the mother and son were gagged, the lobby became quiet for a while.
It was so quiet that the only sounds were the crackling of the charcoal fire and the sound of the wind beating on the windows and doors.
"boom!"
I don't know what it was, but it was blown by the cold wind and hit the door, making a loud noise.
Only then did the people in the room come to their senses after being shocked.
Tang Shiyi touched the back of his neck and said, "I'm going to check."
Then he unlatched the door and rushed into the cold wind.
I even forgot to close the door.
If Kong Twelve hadn't quickly closed the door and bolted the door with quick eyes and quick hands, the cold wind would have picked up the debris and dust and slapped their adults in the face.
However, as soon as the door closed, there was another knock.
The sudden sound even startled Kong Twelve a little.
He moved his neck and opened the latch again.
The knock on the door was a code that only I knew, and it was obvious that the person who came back was a brother who went out to inquire for information.
As soon as the door opened, as expected, Yu Thirty-one, who was looking for the local county magistrate, ducked in.
When Kong Twelve saw someone coming in, he would close the door.
I saw You Twenty-san rushing over again carrying a three-tiered food box.
Kong Twelve had no choice but to let him go. When I wanted to close the door again, I saw Liu Liu, who was riding a horse and fell off the horse as soon as he came over.
The man who was responsible for bringing Manxi County Magistrate Zhai Hengyang and the case master Liu Liu came back alone and empty-handed.
