Chapter Seventy-Four: The Fierce Bully
There were a lot of people around the gate of the Hou Mansion, and there were no people on the street in the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but here it was like gathering all the pedestrians on the street, and many people were pointing at Fu Jingzhi and the two old men who were pulling at the door.

"What's going on?" Fu Zichen walked out of the mansion. Fu Qingyan originally planned to call Fu Jingzhi into the mansion to ask for clarification, so as not to expand the matter.
Who knew that the old couple did their best not to let go, and the subordinates were afraid that they would hurt the old man and make trouble for the Hou Mansion, so no one dared to pull it.
Fu Qingyan had no choice but to go out in person to ask for an understanding, Fu Zichen thought that it was a little inappropriate to deal with this matter as him, so he stopped Fu Qingyan and went to the mansion by himself.
"Shizi!" Fu Jingzhi saw that he finally came to the savior, and hurriedly walked towards Fu Zichen's side, and the two old men also followed.
"Cousin!" Fu Zichen nodded as a salute. "What happened? even pulled and pulled in front of the Hou Mansion! ”
"Cousin, help me!" Fu Jingzhi didn't care about any courtesy, and grabbed Fu Zichen's arm with his free right hand. "These two people said that I robbed the people's daughter, sought money and killed me, and wanted to force me to go to the official, cousin, I didn't do anything!"
"Slow down, listen to me." Fu Zichen said to the old couple who were in hot pursuit.
The old couple heard Fu Jingzhi call Fu Zichen "Shizi", although they didn't know what it was, but they must have been a big official who came out of such a big mansion, so they hesitated a few times, and finally let go.
Fu Jingyi was free, and immediately hid a few steps away and stood behind Fu Zichen.
"Listen to me, both of you." Fu Zichen said in a soft voice. "Both of them are very old, and they are already tired after some tugging, and I have already heard about it, so it is better for the two of you to enter the house with me to explain it in detail. If the two really have grievances, the Dingbei Hou Mansion should seek justice for the two. ”
Fu Zichen spoke earnestly, and his expression was very sincere and credible, and the two old men glanced at each other, thinking about whether to listen to him.
Unexpectedly, someone in the crowd of onlookers suddenly shouted: "Who doesn't know the high power of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, if you want to protect the murderer and kill the first man, we ordinary people can't do anything to you!" ”
When the two men heard this, there was a clear look of reluctance on their faces.
Fu Zichen looked at the crowd with his eyes, only to see a figure flickering suddenly, and he couldn't find a reason hidden in the crowd, so he had to give up. But I already have a little bit of a plan in my heart.
"The two of you don't have to worry, there is a fuss in front of this Hou Mansion today, and tomorrow the whole capital will spread this matter, if the Hou Mansion really has the intention of harming the two, they don't dare to risk the disapproval of the world." Fu Zichen explained. What's more, the truth is not clear now, and it has not yet been determined whether this person is the murder suspect in the mouths of the two. If he really recognized the wrong person in the future, if you make trouble in front of the Marquis Mansion of Dawei today, you will inevitably receive a crime, and the gains outweigh the losses. Why are you so stubborn? ”
Fu Zichen wanted to make all the benefits and disadvantages clear and persuade the two to go in, but he didn't expect the two to be even more emotional when they heard this.
"Impossible! There is no way we can be mistaken! I know what he looks like, and I know him when he turns to ashes! The old woman snapped in tears.
"He said that he went to Beijing to look for relatives, and met robbers on the way, and our old couple saw that he was pitiful and left him to stay for a few days. Who knew that this thief would take revenge and take my fifteen-year-old granddaughter.... He was insulted, and we wanted to arrest him and report to the official, but he said that the county order only recognized the silver and not the people, and we had no choice but to watch him take away the family's belongings. My granddaughter hanged herself with a rope, leaving us alone and miserable, so I borrowed a coil and went to Beijing to complain. God has eyes, so I see you again today! Saying that, the old woman wanted to rush like Fu Jingzhi again.
Seeing this, Fu Zichen hurriedly stopped and asked the two servants to help the old man.
When the onlookers heard the old woman's words, they were filled with indignation and shouted that they would kill to pay for their lives. Fu Zichen knew that this matter was getting more and more tricky, and it was impossible to minimize the impact.
Thinking that today's incident would make the Hou Mansion, which was already in a difficult situation, worse, Fu Zichen's heart was full of deep worry.
"Cousin, what do you have to say?" The situation is a bit difficult to ride, and Fu Zichen can only hope that this is a misunderstanding, so he hopes that Fu Jingzhi can explain it clearly.
"Cousin, I haven't done anything they said, I traveled thousands of miles from Huizhou Mansion to the capital for the great affairs of our Fu family, and I have never been delayed on the road! Besides, I have also been familiar with the books of sages since I was a child, so how can I be the kind of person who is evil. I've never seen these two men, let alone done anything like that! Fu Jingzhi also said very angrily, with a clear conscience between his words.
Since the two sides have their own opinions, there is no need to argue about this matter. It's late today, and it's Chinese New Year's Eve, so it's better to ask the two of you to go to the mansion first to rest and wait for tomorrow, this matter is related to the Hou Mansion, we will definitely find out! Fu Zichen came up with a compromise.
The two old men were about to answer, but they heard a noise at the intersection. Everyone went to the prestige, and it turned out to be the catcher and official of Jingzhao Yin Mansion!
Behind the gate of the Hou Mansion, a red figure flashed out, it was Fu Yanxi, Ziqin, and Yuqi. Because there are many spectators outside the door, Fu Yanxi is not easy to show up. The three of them had been standing behind the door and had seen everything that had just passed.
"Jing Zhao Yin Mansion! Who reported to the official? It's coming so fast! Fu Yanxi was suspicious.
"Jingzhao Yin Mansion captures Kuaizhang Ping to meet His Royal Highness the Marquis of Dingbei." When the officials of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion arrived at the gate of the mansion, the leader came out to salute Fu Zichen.
"Master Zhang doesn't have to be polite." Fu Zichen said. "I don't know what Lord Zhang is doing?"
"Don't dare to be. The villain was ordered by Lord Yin Ning of Jingzhao Mansion to come to investigate the murderer. Zhang Ping replied.
"Oh? Since it is a criminal to verify it, why did Master Zhang come here? Fu Zichen had a faint bad premonition in his heart. Could it be that this time the Hou Mansion is really in a catastrophe?
"Back to His Royal Highness, the day before yesterday, Yang Daqing, the bitter lord of Fengtian County, and Wang Xiulan sued the bully for murder and wealth, and Lord Ning ordered the villain to investigate the case. The villain obtained the testimony and portrait of the suspect from the neighbors of Yang Daqing and Wang Xiulan in Fengtian County. Just now, the villain heard that Yang Daqing and the others had met the murderer here, so he brought someone here to confirm it. Zhang Pingyi's words are righteous, and his words do not seem to be fake.
Fu Zichen glanced at Fu Jingzhi, who was still straightening his neck, and felt a little up and down in his heart, not knowing who to believe. Fu asked in a deep voice: "Then I don't know who Lord Zhang is to find out who this murderer is?" ”
