I am a judge in the Tang Dynasty - #103 - Chapter 103

The moon was high in the sky, and the ink-like night sky was pitch black.

Not even a star point can be seen.

Only the hazy moonlight sometimes hides in the thick clouds and sometimes peeks out quietly.

Around midnight.

In the Jinghe town post, Zhong Kui, Zhao Sheng, Li Si and Meng Lang were there.

He was guarding Lin Xiu’s room.

Now two or three hours have passed, and Lin Xiu still hasn’t come back.

Several people were not sleepy at all, and they were a little worried.

He was afraid that Lin Xiu would encounter some trouble and he would be unable to escape.

However, at this time.

A gust of cold wind blew by, making Zhong Kui shiver and quickly turned his head to look over.

Lin Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged, shook his neck and stood up from the low couch.

“Sir, are you back?”

Zhong Kui and Zhao Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Lin Xiu’s expression was not very good.

In other words, he was a little gloomy and scary, as if he was holding back a wave of anger.

“Go and call Wang Xi, the magistrate of Jinghe Town, to come to the post office. I have something to ask him! Lin Xiu said.

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng and Zhong Kui were all slightly startled.

However, Lin Xiu had given the order and they did not dare not to execute it.

So Zhao Sheng, Li Si, and Meng Lang quickly bowed and saluted. Exit the room.

Lin Xiu was not idle either.

He walked out of the room and headed straight to the lobby.

At this time, the candles in the lobby were also extinguished. , the pale moonlight shining in made the lobby look a bit eerie. Zhong Kui stood on a low stool and looked at Lin Xiu’s gloomy face.

He did not dare to ask anything more, although he was extremely worried. It was strange…

About half an hour later, Wang Xicai arrived late.

It was no wonder that he went to bed early not long after he returned.

As a result, he was woken up by Zhao Sheng and others in his sleep.

In a dazed state, when he heard that Marquis Yin and Yang wanted to see him, Wang Xi was so frightened that he did not dare to delay. He quickly put on his clothes, official uniforms, and official hats and hurried towards the post.

As a result, this delay was almost half over. time.

When they arrived at the hotel, they came in and saw a person sitting on the first floor.

When they took a closer look, who could it be if it wasn’t Lin Xiu?

“Executioner, Wang Xi, I have seen someone calling my official late at night. Is there something urgent? Wang Xi asked anxiously.

Lin Xiu nodded with a sneer:”Wang Xi, I want to ask you, do you really not know the reason for the drought in the past three years?””

After saying this, Wang Xi’s heart trembled, and his face gradually became a little ugly.

In fact, this Wang Xi is also an unlucky guy. He came to Jinghe Town three years ago to take office.

As a result, just a few months after taking office, There was a drought here. Not only did there not be a drop of rain that summer, but snowflakes also fell in the middle of summer. It was really strange.

Some people said at that time that this was because someone had a grievance in their heart, which caused such a strange sign. Although Wang Xi is not a high-ranking official who can solve cases like a god, he is honest and dedicated to the benefit of the people.

Seeing this situation, he quickly sent someone to investigate the situation to see if there was really any injustice in Jinghe Town.

It doesn’t matter, I really found some clues

“oh? What’s the clue? Tell me!”Lin Xiu’s expression remained unchanged.

“Yes, sir… This happened five years ago. There was a rich woman in Lin County named Meng Chan. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was as beautiful as a flower. She later settled down with a family named Zhuang in this county. Engagement, we got married five years ago!”

“This Zhuang family is also considered a well-known wealthy family in Jinghe Town. The two families are well matched. At that time, the people in the two counties even blessed these two people!”

“But God took pity on the people and did not want to see the people living well. On the day of their wedding, the banker’s second husband died suddenly and violently. The cause was not found out. The file said that he was infected with a serious disease, which was incurable!”

“That day, Meng Chan felt so sad that she couldn’t bear to die. In fact, they had not had time to go to the church to get married, and they had not even had a bridal chamber. They were not considered the dealer’s wives. Logically speaking, at this time, if they retrieved their birth dates and canceled the engagement, they would still be able to live in the future. Choosing someone to marry is nothing!”

“Alas, Meng Chan was also a person who valued love and justice. Although she did not go to the church, she still insisted on burying her unfamous husband in person. And on the day of the burial, she actually cut her husband’s head in front of everyone. Take off a lock of your hair and throw it into the coffin……”

Hearing this, Lin Xiu also frowned.

Although he has traveled through time, he also knows a little about the customs here.

Regardless of whether she passed the marriage or not, as long as the woman buried her hair with her sweetheart.

It means that she will not marry anyone else in this life, and will also keep her filial piety.

In other words, she made the decision herself and admitted that she was the wife of the dealer Erlang.

The common people who saw this scene at that time secretly praised it.

Meng Chan is really a chaste and martyr woman who values love and justice.

Even Lin Xiu and Zhong Kui couldn’t help but marvel in their hearts when they heard such things.

However, in the next moment.

Wang Xi changed the subject and sighed:”Poor Meng Chan, God has treated her so unfairly. When she was observing filial piety for her husband, she has been living in the cemetery. This happened every day for two years. Just three years ago, when the period of observing filial piety was about to pass, the banker’s Sanlang had been coveting Meng Chan’s beauty for a long time. That day……”

“This Meng Chan was still a virgin, and she was observing filial piety to her husband. How could she not hate what happened to her? On the same day, she went to her husband’s family to complain. Who would have thought that she would be beaten with a stick by her husband’s family? Meng Chan went home to look for her parents, but she was still not recognized. In this Jinghe Town, she was even accused by thousands of people.……”

“Finally, Meng Chan committed suicide out of shame and anger. Just before she died, in front of everyone in Jinghe Town, she cursed Jinghe Town. Three years of drought, Jinghe River dried up, and snow fell in June. , to show one’s (Li Ma Zhao) feelings of injustice……”

Hear this.

Zhong Kui next to him looked angry and kicked the chair away.

“I hate people so much, how could Meng Chan, who was so loyal and chaste, end up like this? Mr. Wang, why did you, as the local magistrate, not investigate the case and give justice to Meng Chan?” Zhong Kui angrily rebuked.

Wang Xi also smiled bitterly and shook his head:”Not to mention that it had been several months since I took office. Meng Chan had also been dead for a long time. Moreover, Meng Chan never came to the county government to file a complaint until her death. , the former county magistrate also asked about this case, but unfortunately there was insufficient evidence and the plaintiff died, so it was difficult to convict the banker Saburo. Alas! Hearing this

, Zhong Kui and Zhao Sheng were also extremely angry.

However, Lin Xiu frowned and said,”Where did Meng Chan commit suicide?””

“It is within the Jinghe River outside the city!”Wang Xi quickly replied

“Sure enough!”

Lin Xiu nodded slightly, with a flickering look in his eyes._Fei
