Chapter 151: Crushed into dust

The words that a poor man who is forced to struggle in poverty is more likely to win the world's sympathy than a woman who is immoral, vulgar and fickle keep echoing in my mind.

Not only did she want to leave the Cheng family, she also wanted to establish her own household.

If possible, she would like to take her household registration and travel permit to a strange place to start a new life.

Zhang Sheng, who had promised to help her, seemed to have disappeared.

She had also asked the jailer about it, and learned that the Sun family in Changhe County was indeed surrounded by enemies on all sides, just as Lu Mingchao had said, and that their situation seemed to be extremely desperate.

Cheng Zhi slowly made up her mind.

County Magistrate Xu tactfully and impartially repeated the words of the Yang family aunt and nephew, with a stern look on his face, "Ms. Cheng, do you have any objections?"

Cheng Zhi prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed, "Reporting to the county magistrate, I have objections."

"Although I had an affair with the rogue Yang, it was not my original intention. First, the old woman Yang threatened me, and then she lit aphrodisiac incense, which made me lose my mind and unable to control myself. Finally, I gave myself to him, which led to this fallacy."

"When it comes to matters between men and women, there will be two."

"After a month, the woman's menstruation was late, and the news reached Old Lady Yang."

"Old Lady Yang secretly took me to find a wandering doctor who was roaming the streets without telling my father and brother."

"After examining the woman, the barefoot doctor determined that she was pregnant and gave Old Lady Yang a prescription for an abortion."

"Mrs. Yang acted very cautiously, fearing that she would be caught. She went to almost every clinic in Lianhua Town to collect a pack of abortion pills."

"I never expected that the medical skills of the quack doctor were quite rough. He failed to carefully control the dosage when using the medicine, causing the girl to almost have an accident when she was giving birth. In order to avoid involving her life, Old Lady Yang went to a quiet clinic in the north of Lianhua Town, called Juren Medical Clinic, to seek a prescription for postpartum body conditioning."

"At that time, I was young and ignorant and had a cowardly character. Because of the temptation and threats from the old lady Yang and her nephews, I was afraid and could not bravely tell the truth. I could only endure it silently and hide the pain deep in my heart."

"My Lord, what I said is true, not a single word is false."

Xu Xianling's wrinkled brows relaxed slightly, and his gloomy complexion softened a little.

In comparison, Cheng's words are much more pleasing to the ear.

The tone is neither hasty nor impatient, the logic is clear and the arguments are well-reasoned.

It was not like the day when she brought the complaint to accuse Lu Jia Dalang of deception and just cried and complained. It was like there was nothing wrong with it, and it was quite like the style of Lu Mingchao's lawsuit.

He knew that Lu Mingchao went to the prison to visit Cheng Zhi.

When Mr. Yang heard what Cheng Zhi said, he instantly got furious. He jumped up and started swearing and pretending to pounce on Cheng Zhi.

But no matter how fast he was, he could not be faster than the sticks in the hands of the yamen runners.

With a lift, a swing, and a drop, the man surnamed Yang fell heavily on his face.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, spat out a tooth, and said contemptuously and fiercely, "You slut, you just beckoned my finger and stuck to me, and you still need the master to use incense."

"The master can jump over walls, crawl through dog holes, visit prostitutes, and play with whores."

"You really think you are a pure and innocent virgin who talks about chastity. You are not a virgin at the age of twelve or thirteen..."

County Magistrate Xu's nerves jumped when he heard this. His eyebrows, which had just relaxed, tightened into a frown again. He could no longer bear it and said, "Shut his mouth for me!"

He paused, took a deep breath, and calmed himself as much as possible. He then turned his gaze towards Cheng Zhi, his questioning tone obvious.

Cheng Zhi did not play dumb, and said in a shocking tone, "Many years ago, my virginity was taken away by a man from Changhe County."

"So when women among the people indulge in the scent of Yang Pi, they are not truly chaste."

"But it is also true that Old Lady Yang and her niece went to great lengths to seduce the treacherous woman."

Xu Xianling's pupils could not help but shrink, and his hand holding the wooden stick tightened. He could only feel thunder rolling in the sky and blood spurting out.

Nonsense...

It also involves Hu Juren.

Hu Juren was a well-known local gentleman in Changhe.

After failing the imperial examination for many years, he simply gave up the idea of ​​becoming an official and lived a carefree life as a country gentleman.

When the people of Changhe County saw him, they would call him Master Hu.

A few years ago, Cheng Zhi was still a teenager who did not know the taste of sorrow.

What about Hu Ju?

Over forty.

If he remembered correctly, Hu Juren and Master Cheng were classmates.

This mess of relationship made his scalp tingle.

"In court, one should be responsible for every word he or she speaks, and not speak nonsense."

Cheng Zhi kowtowed heavily and raised her voice sharply, making sure her words could be carried out of the courtroom and blown to the streets and alleys by the howling northwest wind. "My Lord County Magistrate, I did not speak nonsense."

"It's just nonsense."

"In the eighth year of Qiyong, on the ninth day of the ninth month, at the quarter after midnight."

"My father and brother sent me to Hu Juren's house in Hewan Lane."

County Magistrate Xu's fingertips unconsciously stroked the wood of the hall, his expression deep and serious.

Hu Juren had the reputation of a judge and a wealthy family. His connections were spread all over the prefectures and counties, and he had a lot of face in front of the prefect.

A small scam involved countless people.

For a moment, he really felt like his hands were burned.

Sun Zhiye's act of venting his anger and revenge really caused him a lot of trouble.

County Magistrate Xu pursed his lips, his thoughts turning in a thousand circles.

The atmosphere in the court suddenly froze.

"You mentioned Hu Juren, intending to..."

Cheng Zhi heard what County Magistrate Xu had not finished saying, and said first, "I have no intention of suing anyone for accusing someone of this. I just wanted to respond to Yang Popi's slander."

"It is not what a common girl wants to lose her chastity at a young age."

"So, this is not enough to prove that Yang Popi is innocent."

The corner of County Magistrate Xu's mouth twitched, and he seemed to be about to say something but stopped.

There was no intention to complain, but the voice was clear and crisp, like snowflakes blowing in the cold wind, and it was impossible to ignore it.

Cheng Zhi, what do you want to do?

County Magistrate Xu looked at Cheng Zhi twice more with deep eyes, and his suspicion grew stronger.

Outside the county government fence, Lu Mingchao exhaled lightly and rubbed his icy hands. A sharp light flashed in his eyes before it turned dark.

Cheng Zhi's words that her father and brother had sent her to Hu Juren's house in Hewan Lane made her feel chilled and frightened.

Master Cheng, the highly respected and virtuous teacher who educates people.

Cheng Zhi's elder brother was also well-known in Lianhua Town for his virtue.

When the high-sounding fig leaf is torn off, the hideous and terrifying true face is revealed.

If Cheng Zhi's lawsuit against Lu Lei comes to an end, and Cheng Zhi is punished for false accusation according to the law, she will seek justice for herself and fight for her own position, so she will find the best lawyer for Cheng Zhi.

With such a father and brother, it is better to leave the Cheng family.

Just think of it as her suddenly losing her kindness.

From a distance, Lu Mingchao seemed to be able to see the plum blossoms held in Cheng Zhi's palm.

Well, if you must find an excuse for your bad intentions.

This branch of wild plum blossom that was not thrown away by Cheng Zhi can also be used as an excuse.

It falls into mud and turns into dust, but the fragrance remains the same.

Cheng Zhi's reputation was ruined.

But the big hand that was pinching Cheng Zhi's neck and restricting her breathing was also cut off.

Master Cheng no longer had the qualifications to threaten to put Cheng Zhi in a pig cage.

I am glad to see you】
