Chapter 1174 1174: Why not let me farm? (Chinese)【Ask for monthly ticket】
Shen Tang’s proposal was still a bit advanced for the simple local people. The two adults and the woman were instantly dumbfounded. The Li family and the Wang family looked at each other and hesitated: "But, how can there be one daughter with two husbands? It's inappropriate!"
Hearing what the two families said, Shen Tang was surprised.
Is there such a big difference in customs between the Northwest Continent and the Central Continent?
In the northwest and southwestern regions, it is normal for a noble girl to have a close friend before marriage. As long as she does not carry the close friend's flesh and blood when she gets married, it is not uncommon for a woman to marry second, third or even higher. The marriage is about the cooperation between the two families rather than the woman as an individual. In addition, in troubled times, there is no tomorrow but today, so there is not so much emphasis on it. Why can't it work here?
Shen Tang decided to reason with the Li and Wang families.
“What do you mean by one woman and two husbands?”
The head of the Li family was confused by the question, but he was emotionally stable and only asked: "Didn't you just say that each family wants a son-in-law?"
Did I understand it wrongly?
Shen Tang said: "Yes, each family has a son-in-law, but how can it be equal to one daughter and two husbands? Let me ask you two, this body is the daughter of your Wang family, right? The soul is the daughter of your Li family, right? Right? These are obviously two daughters, two women! Isn’t it reasonable for two women to marry two husbands?”
Find a son-in-law for the soul of the daughter of the Li family.
Find a son-in-law for the Wang family's daughter.
Wouldn’t everyone be happy with this solution?
Two parents: “…”
It sounds reasonable. If they deny that they are not two girls, their motive for fighting for the daughter will not be tenable.
The head of the Li family looked honest and did not dare to confront Shen Tang. He said in a low voice: "There is nothing wrong with two women finding two husbands, but the little girl is now... she is only in the flesh..."
Shen Tang: "This does not affect the fact that the two families only have one son-in-law."
The head of the Li family: “…”
He felt a little regretful that he had come to file a lawsuit.
Shen Tang rubbed his brows: "If you two are unwilling to agree to my suggestion, I have another way. Since the body belongs to the Wang family, then return it to the Wang family, and the soul belongs to the Li family, then return it to the Li family. Isn’t it fair to treat the head office like this? Your daughter’s situation is too special, no matter which company is punished.”
The Wang family couldn't sit still: "How can this be returned?"
Shen Tang smiled and said: "How can this not be possible? The words and spirits of literary scholars are ever-changing, and they can do anything. It just depends on whether you two are willing. But let's start with the ugly words. The body without a soul is the same as a corpse. The soul A soul without support is a lonely soul.”
The two parents had no choice but to act.
The woman opened her mouth to say something, but Shen Tang glared back. She lowered her head suddenly and swallowed back the words stuck in her throat. Seeing that the two families had reached an agreement, Shen Tang simply pronounced the verdict.
The matter has come to an end, and the two families are ready to go back and look for a suitable son-in-law. Shen Tang ordered someone to deliver a letter to the parents of the Li family.
The head of the Wang family hadn't walked away yet and glared angrily upon seeing this.
He said angrily: "Okay, you guys are indeed colluding!"
That body is obviously his daughter’s body, why should it be given half to the Li family? There is a problem with this penalty itself. If the dog officer hadn't threatened to split his daughter in two to be fair, he would not have agreed!
To prove their innocence, the parents of the Li family asked each other to watch it together.
After seeing the content clearly, both families fell silent.
The content of the note was not like the conspiracy the parents of the Wang family thought, but it reminded the parents of the Li family that although the body was not his daughter, the soul was. I hope he won't arrange to be a son-in-law to a man who is too close to him just to gain blood. At that time, ethics and moral issues will be involved again. If the two families start a lawsuit again, they will cause trouble for the government. She reminded her first to avoid having to argue with her later.
Very humane advice.
The head of the Wang family hummed: "That makes sense."
He would never allow his daughter to be wronged.
The head of the Li family has a livid face.
He said angrily: "Is this what I am?"
Even if Shen Tang didn't mention it, he wasn't going to do it.
Seeing that they had been wronged, the parents of the Wang family couldn't help but apologize, so they walked away. They were planning in their hearts what kind of son-in-law they would find for their daughter. He would definitely beat the Li family! When the two families headed back home, they encountered another problem - who should the daughter go with?
The girl saw that the parents of the two families were about to start a fight again.
He said softly: "Why don't my daughter live in the government office first?"
Two parents: “…”
Xia Houyu didn't understand Shen Tang's punishment: "Your Majesty, the bull-headed and horse-faced man seduced the wrong soul and asked the sufferer to borrow another person's body to return to the dead. It sounds like a strange rumor in the folk. There must be a hidden story in this matter... Why don't you let me use the spirit of words to make that person A girl tells the truth?"
Lie detection is not difficult.
Xiahou Yuwen's heart has recovered and he can do it.
Shen Tang said: "Exposed for what?"
As soon as Xia Houyu heard this, he knew that the Lord also knew that there was something fishy, so he was even more confused: "If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the case was unjust, false, and wrong?"
"Did Zikuan notice that the girl's testimony in court was exactly the same as what was written on the pleading? Even if it is something that has been personally experienced, there will be slight differences in the two descriptions. This one is really good, one to one The time, place and description are not changed. What does this mean? It means that this scam is carefully prepared. One of the two families is not innocent, or both families are innocent, but this girl has her own thoughts. ”
Xia Houyu frowned: "Is the Wang family cheating?"
Deceived the Li family and said she was a daughter of the Li family with the intention of seizing property?
Shen Tang shook his head: "Not necessarily."
The real answer will be known soon.
As soon as he finished speaking, a yamen official told him that the two families had a dispute over whether the female monarch should stay or leave, so they decided to let the female monarch stay in the government office. The local economy is poor, and the government government also relies on local wealthy households for financial support, so it is okay for people to stay for a few days. Shen Tang said: "Isn't this coming?"
The female gentleman waited anxiously.
Xiahou Yu came in first, and she saluted with blessings.
Turning a blind eye to Shen Tang next to Xia Houyu.
It's not that she didn't recognize Shen Tang who was judging the case when she turned around, but the official who took office this time was a bit strange. He seemed to be suffering from a strange illness, and he could only rely on confidants around him for some things. Familiar, the person sitting at the top this time is still the bald maid.
Looking at Xia Houyu's seat, the lady was a little confused.
Shen Tang leaned on Pingji and said in a deep voice: "There are no outsiders here. Can the lady tell the truth?"
Xia Hou was drinking tea as if there was no one around.
Although she has an extraordinary calm demeanor, compared with the bald maid above her, she is slightly inferior in aura. The latter is more like a superior person who can attract attention. The female monarch turned around in her mind several times and did not dwell on these doubts. She knelt down and put her forehead on the ground.
As if to apologize.
“The daughter of the common people and the sister of the Li family are in a handkerchief relationship.”
Shen Tang nodded: "Continue."
Nujun carefully observed the expressions of Shen Tang and Xia Houyu, and saw that neither of them had any intention of getting angry. Her hanging heart was slightly relieved, and she told the truth. Just as Shen and Tang judged, there was no resurrection of the dead from the beginning to the end.
This is just a lie.
The lady shook her head: "They don't know."
This farce is all her fault. This way, the suspicion that the Wang family conspired to seize the Li family's property could be ruled out. Shen Tang thought about the reminder he gave to the Li family's parents and shook his head inwardly. It was an unnecessary step on his part. Xia Houyu asked curiously: "In that case, why do you pretend to be the female queen of the Li family?"
The female monarch looked quite embarrassed.
Shen Tang said: "Just keep talking."
The female gentleman can only continue to explain.
Her motives are not complicated.
The two girls are both the only daughters of a wealthy local family, and they were born on the same day in the same year and month. They have a strong fate. When the daughters of the two families met each other by chance, they felt that they were in love with each other, and they became friends. In this world, they are relatively lucky women. Their parents only have one daughter. At the same time, I am also unlucky because I have no brothers.
Having no brothers means that after you get married, your parents’ property will be eaten up by relatives. If the two elders are in poor health, they may even be forced to die of illness. Sister Li was the first to discuss the marriage. Her parents were not in good health and their situation was not optimistic.
Relatives in the clan put pressure on them.
Or, adopt one as their son.
Or, let the child marry their daughter.
No matter what, there are desperate people who want to eat them.
Of course, they still do a good job of saving face. On the surface, they are wholeheartedly good to the parents of the Li family, and they admire Li's sister as if they are the most affectionate in the world. This matter has been going on for more than half a year, and finally the parents of the Li family were moved and wanted to relent.
Perhaps he thought he had a chance to win, so he started to deal with it. By chance, Sister Li heard the truth. She also informed the Queen of the Wang family about this matter, and the Queen of the Wang family was horrified. In addition to worrying about her good sisters, she also began to worry about her own future.
At the beginning of the year, we went out to burn incense together, and both of them caught the cold.
Sister Li's sister was too preoccupied and physically weak to be able to handle it.
She was lucky. She was seriously ill and was lying in a coffin, but she still recovered. When she woke up, she received the bad news about Li's sister, and thought about how she came to visit her even though she was seriously ill, and she felt extremely sad for a while. Thinking that the other party was thinking about her parents in their later years, she had a bold idea in her mind, and she simply lied and said that the spirit of Sister Li's sister was possessed. I regretted it a bit afterwards, but it was hard to get over it. Both parents believed it, and they fought over the lawsuit for more than half a year.
Xia Houyu felt incredible.
asked: “Is it because of this?”
The queen of the Wang family said: "This is called righteousness!"
If she hadn't said that she was the soul of Li's sister, the Li family's parents would have had to adopt that wolf-hearted bastard. Maybe the Li family's parents would be killed in a few years. This made Li's family miss her parents even though she was seriously ill. How can my sister go away with peace of mind? By telling this lie, she could at least delay the matter.
Shen Tang rubbed her eyebrows. She knew that there was not so much conspiracy theory about this matter, but it was just a "prank" that the Wang lady acted out of her own courage and slapped her forehead, which she never expected.
“If I don’t judge this way, how do you plan to end it?”
Wang's daughter said: "The daughter of the people has read a story about Yan Ling before. This is how the officials judged each family to recruit a son-in-law. Even if you don't judge like this, the daughter of the people will let you see it when you look back. This is Isn’t it just...precedent judgment?”
There is no precedent in reality, but there is spirit in words.
“…The author of Yanling is still related to you, right?”
Ms. Wang lowered her head and wring her fingers.
Shen Tang: “…”
A little smart, but not much.
It is simply a model of a naughty kid getting into trouble.
She said: "Have you read the story about the spirit of speech? Then you should also know that the speech spirit of the literary scholar can make people tell the truth? Have you never thought that if I don't protect you, you are in the lobby now? Go ahead, what will happen if you tell me that you set up such a scam?”
Ms. Wang’s face turned pale instantly.
After scaring him, Shen Tang still had to affirm the other party.
“You do know how to use strength to fight.”
If only one family is looking for a son-in-law, it will be wiped out and the family is really unable to resist. If both families are looking for a son-in-law, and they can supervise and balance each other, this will be the most advantageous situation. Both families believe that this is their daughter, so who would allow their daughter to suffer in another family?
This move can protect the Li family and his wife in their later years, and can also protect the Wang family's daughter in the rest of her life. No matter who wants to take advantage of two families, he must ask the other family if they agree. Even so, the suspicion that the Wang lady covets the Li family cannot be ruled out.
Fake is still fake after all.
Facing this problem, the Wang family hesitated.
Shen Tang doesn’t have much patience: “Don’t want to explain?”
The queen of the Wang family said: "The daughter of the people is going to tell the parents of the Li family that this body is not related to them by blood. If you are looking for a son-in-law, try to find someone who is somewhat related to them. In this way, the children born in the future will Children should also stay close to them.”
She was late in discussing marriage.
After seeing what happened to the sister of the Li family, I was also worried about my future.
She did have some selfish intentions, taking advantage of this matter to assume the other person's identity and rely on the other person's parents to protect her, but her desire to be filial to the Li family's father and mother on behalf of the Li family's sister was true. I also want to take care of my sister from the Li family and provide for my two elders until they die.
“Somewhat reckless, but also commendable.”
In the relatively conservative Qi State, it is indeed not easy for such a girl with ideas to emerge. Shen Tang lowered his eyes and thought about what benefits this matter could bring to him. The female queen of the Wang family below was uneasy: "You... won't expose the common girl, right?"
Shen Tang asked back: "Are you ready to confess?"
The daughter of the Wang family bowed her head and said, "The daughter of the people doesn't know."
Once she confesses, she is afraid that things will not end well.
“This case has been pronounced and the government cannot intervene. It’s up to you what to do. However, I prefer those who are candid.”
The Queen of the Wang family hesitated for a few breaths.
“Can you give the civilian daughter some time?”
She wanted to find a suitable time.
Shen Tang then thought: "It's up to you."
Wang's daughter was arranged in a wing of the Yamen Courtyard.
Xiahou Yu said: "Your Majesty, don't you need to inform Mrs. Li?"
Shen Tang smiled and said, "How do you know they don't know?"
The Wang family’s parents were kept in the dark, but the Li family may not know the truth. After all, they are biological daughters. Even if Wang's daughter and Li's relationship is good and they have no secrets from each other, it is difficult for them to know everything. The couple may also go along for the ride.
Xia Houyu: “…”
Shen Tang smiled and said: "Keep the secret for them. You owe us a debt of gratitude, and you will have to repay it twice as much later."
They are both wealthy local families and can provide a lot of convenience.
Shen Tang’s branch in Qiguo also needs angel investment.
These two families look like angels.
When the Yamen servant reported the reaction of the Li family parents to the note, Shen Tang became more sure of his guess. That night, Mr. Li sent a generous gift, euphemistically thanking the government for taking care of his daughter, who had been in trouble while living here.
Shen Tang accepted it generously.
