What is the reputation lawsuit of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

There was a family in Taiyuan in the Qing Dynasty, with only two widows, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. At that time, women were required to be virtuous and fierce. A woman's chastity is a virtue, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law keep chastity together, which is highly respected in the local area.

Suddenly one day, her mother-in-law went to yamen to accuse her daughter-in-law of adultery, which ruined her family's reputation. The magistrate of a county has long heard that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law celebrate the festival together and admire them very much. Today, they didn't expect their mother-in-law to sue their daughter-in-law for adultery. Bring her mother-in-law to class and ask a way:

"You accuse your daughter-in-law of adultery, but is there any evidence? Do you know who the adulterer is? "

"Back to the adult, the adulterer always sneak in in the middle of the night and run at dawn. I really can't tell who it is. However, as long as adults interrogate my daughter-in-law, it will be clear. " Mother-in-law replied.

Magistrate of a county to the daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law saw her mother-in-law standing in class, it seems, still don't know what's going on, in a low voice asked:

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Mother-in-law turned away, ignoring her at all, only listening to class magistrate of a county "pa" a clap a gavel, drink a way:

"Who is that adulterer? Don't come clean soon! "

Daughter-in-law paused and said nothing. The magistrate of a county was furious, and slapped him on the gavel, and was about to be punished by calling on him. I saw my daughter-in-law turned to look at her mother-in-law, hesitated, and then said:

"Report to my adult, the adulterer is a dog in East Lane. He has been having an affair with his mother-in-law for several months, and my daughter dare not hide it. "

Magistrate of a county listened to feel strange, mother-in-law aside but can't help but shout a way:

"Well, you little whore, little slut, bite back!"

The magistrate of a county frowned and shouted, "Silence! Above the court, don't be presumptuous! "

However, when she tried her daughter-in-law again, she still insisted that the dog was the adulterer of her mother-in-law and had nothing to do with herself. The magistrate of a county had to send for the dog as soon as possible. Soon, the police officers brought the dog. Seeing his furtive appearance, the magistrate of a county knew that he was not a good guy, so he shouted to him:

"Dog, do you know the crime?"

"Wang doesn't know what adults mean." The dog replied.

"bold! You unruly, have you ever had an affair with their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Still not seeking truth from facts! "

"Adult wronged! I am clean and white! It must be that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not harmonious, take me to talk nonsense! " Dog son quibbled.

"A county has tens of thousands of people, why wronged you? You certainly didn't tell the truth yourself! Somebody, hit him first! "

As soon as the voice just fell, the police officers took the board in their hands and stepped forward to press the dog to the ground. Before hitting twenty boards, the dog repeatedly begged for mercy:

"I said, I said! I saw that their daughter-in-law was beautiful and there were no men at home, so I became horny. I don't want the little widow to have the same idea, so I hooked up. "

The magistrate nodded with satisfaction and ordered the daughter-in-law to be tortured and forced to confess. However, she refused to admit that she had an affair with the stray dog. The magistrate of a county was helpless and had to decide to drive her back to her family.

As a result, the daughter-in-law was driven back to her family. Not only did her neighbors accuse her of laughing at her, but even her own brother often gave her a dirty look and felt that she was shameful. Not to be outdone, the daughter-in-law appealed to the magistrate's office. Who knows that the trial result of the county magistrate is the same as that of the county magistrate?

In a rage, the daughter-in-law hit the post with her head in the yamen, scaring the magistrate into closing the case.

There happened to be a man named Sun Liu in Zichuan County, who was born as a scholar and now works as a magistrate in Ganxian County, Taiyuan. He has always been regarded as a man capable of solving crimes. Therefore, the magistrate handed the case over to Sun Liu for trial.

After Sun Zhixian got the case file, he studied it repeatedly and considered it for a long time before ordering people to bring the criminals. When it came time to treat criminals, he only had a short trial, which was exactly the same as before, and then he put them all in prison. Sun Zhifu arranged well and ordered the officers to prepare many bricks, stones, knives and awls for the next trial. The officers all felt very strange. They didn't understand why Sun Magistrate kept all kinds of ready-made instruments of torture, but only chose these messy things that didn't belong to instruments of torture to solve the case. However, since the magistrate of a county has an order, he must obey it.

The next day, Sun Zhixian ascended the throne. Officials put all the "instruments of torture" that Sun Zhixian wanted in the hall. So Sun, the magistrate of a county, ordered the criminals to be brought in and interrogated roughly one by one, and then said to her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law:

"This matter also need not delve into. Your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also famous for their chastity. Although the adulterer is still uncertain, the adulterer must be the son of the dog. No matter which one of you had an affair with him, the official thought it was just a moment when he was seduced by the bad guys and misled by others. So, it's the rogue who is really to blame. He made you suffer such a lawsuit and ruined your reputation. Now, there are stones, knives and the like in the class. If the county is in charge, you can take them to beat him! "

Hearing this, the mother-in-law hesitated and refused to do it. Sun magistrate of a county know that they are afraid of killing people, then said:

"Don't worry, killing your county is the master!"

As a result, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law picked up stones to hit hooligans, and the dog screamed with pain. After a moment, sun magistrate of a county added fuel to the fire and said:

"Here's a knife. Cut him with a knife! "

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took a knife to cut the dog, Sun Zhixian stopped them and roared a track:

"I know who is the adulterer! Somebody, give me instruments of torture to serve! " Say and sun magistrate of a county pointed to the mother-in-law.

Mother-in-law still pleaded not guilty and shouted. Sun magistrate of a county sitting in class, said majestically:

"You didn't hesitate when I asked you to beat hooligans with stones and bricks. It's just picking up pebbles and hitting his hips and legs, which has nothing to do with injury and posturing. But your daughter-in-law tried her best to pick up the biggest stone, wishing she couldn't kill him immediately. It can be seen that she already hates this scoundrel and hates him for ruining her reputation for nothing. Later, I asked you to stab him with a knife, and your wife immediately picked up the knife and went straight to the rogue's chest. But you hesitated, took the knife for a long time and refused to do it. These are enough to show that you are having an affair with this rogue, and you still bite back! "

This remark made her mother-in-law feel ashamed and depressed. From time to time, I can still hear the groans of dogs coming from the ground.

It turns out that although her mother-in-law is a semi-old Xu Niang, her charm still exists and she has been widowed for many years. Finally, she couldn't bear loneliness and secretly colluded with the dog. Daughter-in-law naturally can't see the past, but no matter how to persuade, she still quietly monitors the gate, rear window and wall, destroying her mother-in-law's affair. Mother-in-law became angry from embarrassment and made excuses to drive her daughter-in-law back to her family several times. But the daughter-in-law never listened to her, which led to two people quarreling about this matter. My mother-in-law thinks that this constant noise not only hinders her own good deeds, but also makes things public, and she will lose face after a long time. So, one night, she discussed the plan with the dog, hoping to achieve the goal of driving her daughter-in-law out of the house. Once this stumbling block is removed, two people can do whatever they want in the future. Every time I think of it, they are secretly proud of their "coup". Don't want to, this "seamless" plot went bankrupt in the hands of Sun Zhifu.
