Chapter 237： playing with fire

Chapter 237 Playing with Fire and Self-immolation

Didn't see Ruxin, didn't know the specific situation, naturally he couldn't deal with it, Lu Sanniang bit her lip, her face turned blue with anger.

She knew that this day would come, the eldest girl is playing with fire and setting herself on fire.

Mayor Qian patted her hand in the car, "I'm here, let's go to the government office!"

The carriage drove to the entrance of the government office in a hurry. At this time, Wang Zongsheng raised his eyebrows, looking at the plaintiff and the defendant below the lobby.

At this time, the plaintiff was domineering, while the defendant, Lu Ruxin, was kneeling on the ground in a panic, with obvious injuries on his body, and his face was almost disfigured.

The plaintiff is Chen Jiashi, the youngest wife of the Chen family. Her husband, Chen Kai, is handsome, talented and educated, but there is a little bit of flirtatious nature.

Needless to say, the defendant couldn't resist the temptation of her man and followed him.

It's just a woman, Chen Jiashi, who keeps saying that they have **** without a matchmaker, and asks the magistrate to punish her, but until now her man has not shown up, but Lu Ruxin refuses to admit it, and the two sides are at a stalemate like this.

At this moment, Wang Zongsheng sent someone to find Chen Kai.

For the Chen family, Wang Zongsheng is not afraid at all, but he is a local rich man with a few contacts in the capital.

And his niece is now the little princess, and will be the princess in the future. He doesn't need the background of his family now, and his waist is already very strong.

So the Chen family didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him at all, but he is a good official, so there are some things that must be clarified. He feels that this matter is not that simple.

Because the Chen Jia family meant that she was forcing this girl to be a concubine, but this girl kept saying that she was not Chen Kai's concubine, and she would not be Chen Kai's concubine. Dazed.

Wang Zhifu sent people to investigate, and at the same time sent people to find Chen Kai.

Outside the court, there were still many people standing around watching.

At this moment, Mayor Qian took Lu Sanniang out of the carriage and rushed in.

Wang Zongsheng saw that it was him, and hurriedly stopped the official who wanted to stop him.

"Why are you here?"

Mayor Qian pointed to Lu Ruxin on the ground, "This is my daughter, she committed a crime, how can I, a father, not come?"

Wang Zongsheng was dumbfounded, so he married his beloved?

"she is?"

Lu Sanniang hurriedly bowed to Wang Zhifu, "The woman is the shopkeeper of Ruyi Embroidery Village in Tianshui Town."

"Oh, I understand, you are the sister Lu that Mrs. Qiao was talking about."

"Yes!"

"Well, although I don't go to Qiao's house often, I have heard of you."

The Chen Jia family below is a little confused, what, what's going on, why is her husband's Pintou family so rich and powerful? He even made friends with the magistrate, it's over, it's a bad dish.

She has been checked by people. Lu Ruxin's natal family opened an embroidery village, and there were no capable people in her ancestors, and her maternal ancestor's family was just a poor scholar.

Here, what the **** is going on?

Lu Ruxin was very scared. She planned to fight to the death today, but she couldn't let the Chen family succeed. At this time, she began to miss Lu Sanniang.

But when she saw her mother, she was so ashamed that she kept her head down and dared not lift it up.

At this moment, Chen Kai came. As soon as he entered the court, he raised his hand and bowed to Wang Zhifu above him.

"The student has met the prefect!"

"Well, I sent someone to look for you because your wife sued Lu Ruxin, saying that you had an affair without a matchmaker. What is going on with her?"

Chen Kai saw Lu Ruxin, walked over immediately, and asked softly:

"Xin'er, are you okay?"

Lu Ruxin didn't snort, Chen Kai curled his lips, "My lord, what kind of **** without a match, we just have mutual affection."

Wang Zongsheng patted the gavel, "Chen Jiashi?"

"The women are here!"

"When you went to Lu Ruxin's house today, did you see your man Chen Kai?"

"Never!"

"Just hearsay? No real evidence? Right?"

"My man has items like this woman's bellyband and handkerchief."

"The officer asked you about going to her house to beat someone today, did you ever catch the adulterer and silver woman you said on the spot?"

"No, no!"

"How dare you break into a private house without permission? Who gave you the courage?"

Chen Jiashi's face turned pale, and he quickly winked at Chen Kai. Chen Kai's smiling face also froze.

"My lord, the student and this Lu Ruxin really fell in love at first sight. They often meet in Xinyuan, and the student has a bellyband from her, and the jewelry is a token."

Wang Zongsheng knew how the case should be judged when he heard Mayor Qian say that Lu Ruxin was his daughter.

He slapped the gavel again, "Lu Ruxin, is what this man said true?"

"No, this man is lustful. Seeing me living alone, he often seduces me. How can he stand up to me as a woman? He just wants to be wronged."

"So it was out of desperation!"

Chen Kai pointed at Lu Ruxin, "Xin'er, how can you say that, last night you told me that I would not marry you? Why are you doing this to me now?"

Wang Zongsheng felt nauseous looking at it. This man is too fake. He and Mayor Qian exchanged glances to reassure him.

Lu Sanniang rushed forward and slapped Chen Kai hard,

"What are you, dare to miss my daughter?"

Chen Kai covered his face, not annoyed, and smiled at Lu Sanniang.

"It turned out to be the mother-in-law. Ruxin and I have long been in love with each other. Things have become like this. Why don't we just carry a sedan chair into my house."

When Lu Ruxin heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed at Wang Zhifu.

"My lord, the woman is not willing. The Chen family has taken a fancy to the snack shop of the woman and the money in the woman's hand. That's why she let this woman come to my house to make trouble and ruin my reputation. I beg my lord to make decisions for the woman. ah."

Chen Jiashi gave her a bah, and was about to yell at her when Prefect Wang slapped the gavel.

"Presumptuous, this is the court, be quiet, listen to me, Mrs. Chen Jia, I'm just asking you, did you catch your man when you went to Lu Ruxin's house today to smash it up?"

"No!"

"Master, ask her to sign it!"

"Chen Kai, I want to ask you, you said that you have Lu Ruxin's personal belongings, but this little lady said that there is no such thing. Do you have any evidence to prove that she willingly gave you these things?"

"My lord, this is really what she gave to the students."

"The officer pays attention to evidence, because there are other ways to get these things besides what she voluntarily gave you, so the evidence you mentioned cannot be regarded as real evidence."

Chen Kai glanced at Lu Ruxin, this girl never came into contact with him in public, so he could only say bitterly: "No!"

"No, the plaintiff sued Lu Ruxin that the case was not established. Chen Jia's eyes were lawless. In broad daylight, he brought people into other people's private houses to commit murder and injured a few people. After the sufferer returned home, he settled the losses before making a decision. People, put Chen Jiashi in prison!"

"My lord, you are so unfair!"

Chen Kai and Chen Jiashi knelt on the ground to express their dissatisfaction, and Wang Zhifu sneered.

"Unfair? The law of the Ming Dynasty, catching a thief is dirty, catching a traitor and taking a wife, what about your wife? That house is Lu Ruxin's own property, there is no man to raise her, let alone an outside room, Lu Ruxin is a good citizen of the Ming Dynasty, You have your own private house and property, you hold a bellyband, and you want to bully others because of the background behind the Chen family?"

The people onlookers also whispered in the background, "That is, I saw a little woman with some money in my hand, so I wanted to take her into the backyard and occupy her family property."

"That's right. Otherwise, based on this little woman's appearance, can the young master of the Chen family fall in love with her? Which one of his good friends is not born as beautiful as a flower?"

Lu Ruxin blushed when she heard the people's whispers. In fact, she knew a long time ago that with her appearance, she couldn't catch Chen Kai's eyes.

If it weren't for the house and snack shop in her hands, it would be impossible to be with Chen Kai.

It is one thing to know yourself, but another thing to be told by others.

Clearly knowing everything, but pretending not to understand, Chen Kai, who is reluctant to be unrestrained and coquettish, has been dragged to this point.

If the mayor Qian Qian and Lu Sanniang hadn't rushed here today, the Chen family might really have succeeded.
