004 Weathering Case
Shen Wen felt that he was about to collapse.
The rich Jurchens who are full and do nothing can be afforded.
Lin Ruolan followed until dark that day. On the second and third days, she was still like a little tail that could not be shaken off. She followed wherever she went. Even if she had something to do, she sent that Qing'er to hang her. Shen Wen couldn't do anything. She just wanted to work, and Lin Ruolan deliberately made bad things.
They had to eat and live every day, and the money was getting smaller and smaller, but the master and servant were still reluctant to give up, which made Shen Wen very troubled.
Shen Wen had a headache, and Lin Ruolan was not having a good time. The main reason was that Shen Wen was too shameless. Following him, this guy said loudly that he was attracted by someone and he didn't like him. He would not change his mind if he said he would follow him. He then said loudly that he should be free and not a woman. It seemed that he liked him and insisted on pestering him. He was like a female fantasy. Fortunately, the people at the bottom of the river were open and the Shen family was a local wealthy family, so he did not cause too much trouble.
"Madam, don't follow me anymore, I won't go back."
"You shrew, it's useless to apologize. I'll give you a break for your husband."
In order to get rid of these two little tails, Shen Wen decided to go out and shouted loudly while walking, and from time to time he looked back at Lin Ruolan and Qing'er following behind, with a joking look on his face.
"No, that's a young couple?"
"Isn't that Miss Lin from Shen's Mansion? Are you getting married?"
"What, you want to divorce your wife?"
"What's going on? Miss Lin from Shen's Mansion, when will she get married?"
The river is only one acre and three-point land. As the saying goes, he bows his head and doesn't look up. Shen Wentian is shameless. Lin Ruolan, who is following behind, is so angry that her pretty face turns blue and almost bites her silver teeth. However, Qing'er keeps explaining to others that her lady is still waiting to be a good person, and it has nothing to do with the "crazy man" in front of her.
If it were other women, they would have given up long ago, but Lin Ruolan was a stubborn temper, gritted her teeth and followed behind. The more rogue Shen Wen was, the more she "bited" she would not let go.
Never give up until you achieve your goal.
Lin Ruolan was following him, but unexpectedly, Shen Wen suddenly stopped, turned around to stop him, and asked angrily: "What are you doing? Why are you blocking me? Is this yours?"
"Of course this road is not mine." Shen Wen turned sideways, pointing at the front with a playful look on his face and said, "There is a male cottage in front. Miss Lin, Xiaosheng knows that he is very good. No matter how much you admire him, you can't go into the male cottage to peep at me, right?"
Men's thatched cottage?
Lin Ruolan was startled and looked at her quickly. Her pretty face turned red. She quickly took a few steps back because there was a man's cottage in front of her. She was thinking about it while she was not careful and followed her here.
It’s all because of Qing’er’s little girl who said she was hungry and ran to buy food, which made her make herself look ugly and almost made a big mistake.
I looked around, but fortunately no one noticed it.
Looking at Lin Ruolan's pretty blushing face, Shen Wen laughed and said, "I don't blame you for being careless, I'm just because I'm too good, which makes you involuntarily, hahahahaha..."
Under Lin Ruolan's gaze of murderous eyes, Shen Wen smiled and entered the men's cottage.
"Shen Wen, you shameless little thief, I, I will stomp you to death." Lin Ruolan was so angry that she stamped her feet.
"Miss, what's wrong?" At this time, Qing'er hurriedly came with a pack of snacks, and happened to see Lin Ruolan's angry scene.
Lin Ruolan said a few words angrily, then twisted Qing'er's ear and said, "It's all your fault. I won't come back soon, so I'll make me fool of myself."
"Miss, Miss, it hurts, it hurts, so spare your life." Lin Ruolan just pinched Qing'er's ears, and before she could exert force, Qing'er pretended to scream in pain.
"No, I'm in a bad mood, you let me vent my anger."
At this time, a middle-aged woman hurried into the female cottage beside her. Qing'er's eyes rolled and she quickly had an idea: "Miss, Miss, I have a way to atone for my sins."
After saying that, before Lin Ruolan could speak, Qing'er put her mouth close to Lin Ruolan's ear and whispered a few words.
"Is this OK? Wouldn't it be too cruel?" Lin Ruolan said hesitantly.
Qing'er gritted her teeth and said, "That little thief is so cruel. Not only do he greedy for our money, but he also humiliated us. Such a person teaches him a lesson to eliminate harm for the people. Miss, have you forgotten what he said just now? It's so shameless to speak up with a wife."
Thinking of being teased by Shen Wen just now, Lin Ruolan gritted her teeth and nodded heavily.
This cunning little thief just learned less lessons. At worst, when the lesson is finished, let him know that he is powerful, and then save him.
The ancient thatched cottage was so smelly. If it weren't for being followed, Shen Wen would never mind finding a beautiful place to solve the problem between heaven and earth. The problem was that he had two tails hanging behind him and could only pinch his nose and solve it here.
After leaving the cottage, he took a long breath.
Hey, I didn’t see the master and servant of the Lin family, haha, it’s so good. After following him for a few days, he finally gave up. Shen Wen couldn’t help feeling very happy.
Is this a double happiness?
Just as he was about to leave, Shen Wen's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw a shining thing on the ground, a piece of silver lying on a strip of cloth, and I don't know which one left.
There is silver to pick up again.
The piece of silver that I came from last time was less and less. Now I have no way to make money. I feel distressed when ordering meat and vegetables on weekdays. Shen Wen saw that there was no one around, and he picked up the belt and silver at once.
In ancient times, people liked to hide money in sleeves and belts. I don’t know if the silver fell out of the belt, so I naturally need to check it clearly.
After collecting the money, Shen Wen began to carefully check the belt. The belt was a bit like a man's use, but it also brought flowers. Shen Wen didn't care about that much. Anyway, he picked it up on the ground, it would be useless to take it if he didn't take it.
"Ah, who stole my belt?" Just as Shen Wen was checking, he suddenly heard a woman's roar from the female thatched cottage.
This sound was like a lion roar in Hedong, which scared Shen Wen to death. What, belt?
Just as I was about to throw away the belt in my hand, I didn't expect a middle-aged fat woman to rush out of the cottage. When she saw Shen Wen holding the flower belt, she immediately widened her eyes and shouted: "What a gentle scum, how dare you steal my clothes. Come on, come on, come on."
What, is this belt belonging to this fat woman?
Shen Wen was shocked and was about to throw it away and ran away. He was dying without any symptoms. At this time, Lin Ruolan's master and servant suddenly flashed out from the side. Qing'er shouted loudly: "Okay, you actually went into the female cottage to steal things. Come on, and catch a thief."
Not good, there are traps.
As soon as he saw the Lin master and servant jumped out in time, Shen Wen felt something was wrong. Before he could run away, he was pulled by the middle-aged woman. Then several men rushed over to catch Shen Wen after hearing the news.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is what I picked up from the door." Shen Wen argued loudly.
In ancient times, stealing was a serious crime. Besides, it was not only stealing, but also involved stealing in a female cottage. This was a crime of indecentness. It was really confirmed that this crime was light and it was a lighter to beat a board, and maybe he would be exiled to jail.
Once you have a criminal record, it will be even more difficult to get through in the future.
"Hmph, it's funny." The woman snorted coldly: "Will my belt run away by myself? Look at you, a little boy, have a good-looking face, but I didn't expect that you were so vulgar. You can't give me an official favor, you little thief."
"Good boy, how dare you tease women in the river and send them to the officials."
Shen Wen was so anxious that he was sweating, and he hurriedly argued: "I, I don't, this aunt, misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."
With a "bang", a big and thick man slapped Shen Wen's head and shouted loudly: "Stop talking nonsense, if you have anything to do, you tell the county magistrate to go, everyone will go."
So, Shen Wen was forced to see the official by several big men. He turned around and wanted to ask Lin Ruolan to testify as his master and servant, but he didn't expect to see Qing'er laughing gloatingly. Lin Ruolan, who was usually gentle, secretly grimaced at herself.
Shen Wen looked depressed and finally understood that the wise men said that they would rather offend villains than offend women.
A famous saying.
Shanyang County has a prosperous literary style, a prosperous economy, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. There are few traitors, occasionally there are disputes, and there are also figures such as the clan leader who digest it internally. As the saying goes, family scandals are not made public, and officials are happy to be idle.
The achievements of education are the most proud of being Zhu Yuanshan, the magistrate of Shanyang County. Just when Zhu County Magistrate was complacent, a theft case and weathering case suddenly broke out.
After hearing the plaintiff Zhao Wu's complaint, County Magistrate Zhu, who was determined to pursue perfection, was furious.
With a "bang", County Magistrate Zhu slapped the agglomeration and shouted loudly: "Who is kneeling in the hall?"
Shen Wen, who was forced to kneel down on the ground, said helplessly: "Reply to the master's words, the villain's surname is Shen, and his name is just one word."
Shen Wen was kind and polite when he gave the courtesy, so the words of the County Magistrate Zhu were a little softer: "Where is your hometown? Who else is there in your family?"
If Shen Wen had asked this five days ago, he would definitely not be able to answer it. Fortunately, Shen Wen knew the importance of his identity and had already thought of a good identity. He responded respectfully: "Caomin was originally from Songshan Village, Baisha Township, Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture. Because Japanese pirates invaded the territory, the whole village was slaughtered. In desperation, he was wandering here. I hope the master will observe clearly."
The Japanese pirates were a disaster in the Ming Dynasty. In recent years, they became more and more violent. They took advantage of the darkness to come and killed people and set fires, and did everything they could. Shen Wen heard that the entire village of Songshan Village was slaughtered, and even the county government office was set fire by the bold Japanese pirates, and the warehouse was burned. The old family genealogy collected in his previous life recorded a branch of the Shen family Songshan. With a sudden inspiration, he had his hometown.
The Ming Dynasty was not as strong as the information system in later generations, and there was no evidence when it was burned.
It’s useless to keep the bottom, you know, there have always been many black householders in the Ming Dynasty.
Hearing Zhao Wen's "tragic experience", County Magistrate Zhu also became quarrel: "Shen Wen, Zhao Wu sued you and stole her belt when she went to the cottage. Is there any such thing?"
Zhao Wu is a widow in Hexia. She is short and fat, with a fat face, while Shen Wen is beautiful and talented. Inadvertently, County Magistrate Zhu's heart is slightly biased towards Shen Wen.
This is not the reason for the magistrate Zhu County. In fact, the Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that looked at the face. Officials were handsome and upright, and they would be promoted faster. However, people who were not born well could not become officials even if they were excellent in the imperial examination. This was the legacy of the Hongwu period.
"Mr. County magistrate, it's wronged," Shen Wen immediately begged for mercy and said, "Caomin picked up a belt in front of the door of the thatched cottage. He was curious and picked it up. Unexpectedly, the aunt rushed out and sued me for stealing her belt. Master, it's wronged."
"Just picking up a belt on the ground?" County Magistrate Zhu asked.
Shen Wen insisted: "Everything of the grass-roots people is true, but there is no false statement."
Be honest and lenient, sit in prison; refuse to be strict and go home for the New Year, which is a famous saying in later generations. Besides, Shen Wen really didn't go into the female cottage to peek and take a belt.
It’s not that he has a high character, but that Zhao Wu, wearing coarse cloth, looks like a person with no money at first glance, and he has no interest in paying for it.
At this time, the master said a few words in the ear of the magistrate Zhu County. The magistrate Zhu nodded, and then slapped the awkward: "Transferred to the witness Qing'er."
Qing'er?
When Shen Wen heard this, his face changed: No, this master and servant are going to attack him.
