Chapter 59: Listening
"Where is Chang Jun now?" Zhou asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mother Li thought for a while and said: "Chang Jun is Aunt Mei's person, to be exact, he is the eldest nephew of Mother Cao's side by Aunt Mei's side, working in the yamen, and he is a head catcher. ”
Zhou nodded: "So, the master's task was handed over to him?" ”
Mother Li nodded: "It should be like this." ”
"It makes sense." Zhou looked at Mother Li, "Mother Li, do you remember what I said to the master?" ”
Mother Li nodded: "The slave maid remembers that Madame once reminded the master that you must not touch the fortune teller on Mihang Street in the north of the city, otherwise you will get into trouble." ”
Zhou sighed: "I'm afraid it's not okay to move now." ”
Li's mother was stunned.
Zhou immediately ordered: "Mother Li, you find a few reliable people and rush to Mihang Street in the north of the city as soon as possible...??"
Speaking of this, she beckoned Li's mother to come closer and whispered a few words in her ear.
Mother Li's eyes widened in astonishment: "Miss, didn't you just tell the master that you don't move the family in the north of the city?" ”
"It's not the same time it used to be." Zhou said calmly, "I said something like that, but that was before. Now, I've changed my mind. ”
Mother Li looked at Zhou a little blankly.
Zhou said: "Mother Zhou, our chance to turn over has come." ”
Li's mother was overjoyed: "Miss, really? ”
Then, she frowned and looked at Zhou: "Miss, are you joking?" ”
Zhou urged: "Mother Li, don't go quickly!" It's too late. ”
Mother Li hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, the slave will do it immediately." ”
Three watches, north of the city.
A hurried knock came from outside, and the door panel of the fortune-telling stall on Mihang Street in the north of the city was slammed loudly, waking up all the people inside.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Someone inside shouted.
Then, a fat man put on a shirt and a pair of shoes and felt out.
"Who is it in the middle of the night, who is the quarrel to death!" He San rubbed his eyes and scolded as he unloaded the door panel.
At the moment when the door panel was unloaded, a group of black-clothed people rushed in, and without warning, He San was knocked over to the ground. After a punch and kick, He San's chubby face was beaten into a pig's head, his face was blue and his nose was swollen, and he couldn't tell the original appearance at all. That's not all, the gang also kicked He San in the stomach several times, and He San spit out several mouthfuls of blood on the spot, and these people walked away.
After a long time, He San's mother-in-law walked out of the corner tremblingly, and cried with He San, who was slumped on the ground unconscious. This scene woke up many neighbors who had fallen asleep, and they turned on the lights one after another.
The next day, the news of He San's beating spread throughout the capital in an instant.
Due to He San's special identity background, when the people in the whole capital were guessing who the beater was, and at the same time watching He San's jokes, an even more shocking news came out: Qin Tianjian sued Shuntianfu Yin for abusing lynching, acting arbitrarily and lawlessly, which made the people of the city panic, and asked Dali Temple to investigate Shuntianfu's dereliction of duty.
Weining Hou Mansion.
Nie Siyun stood beside the turquoise bookcase in the study, with oil paint next to her, she rolled up her sleeves slightly, and was coloring the Hanmei picture she had drawn a few days ago.
At this moment, Chunliu flashed in, walked to her side, and said in a low voice: "Miss, the second master has come back from the court." ”
Nie Siyun let out an "oh", but the ink-stained brush in her hand didn't stop, and the colored Hanmei became more and more lifelike.
"Did you hear anything?"
Chunliu said: "When the second master came back from the court, he looked panicked, and he didn't change his court clothes, so he went directly to the old lady's house." ”
Nie Siyun smiled.
This matter was started by the Marquis of Weining, and now that things have evolved like this, it's no wonder that the second master is not in a hurry.
Chunliu continued: "The slave maid went to inquire, and I heard that the beaten He San is the brother-in-law of He Dong, the Qintian Prison Supervisor, and on the night He San was beaten, his mother-in-law went to the mansion of He Dong, the prison prisoner, and the next day, He Dong wrote a book to Chen Song, suing Shuntianfu Yin for having no evidence, no royal law, and abusing lynching, causing his brother-in-law to be beaten to death. ”
Nie Siyun thought to herself, Zhou is really a practical person, very good at seizing opportunities, it is difficult to prevent her from turning over, but this person, just teach a few lessons, and beat people to the point of disability, the means are inevitably ruthless.
Nie Siyun asked, "Are you sure it was the official sent by the Shuntian Mansion?" ”
Chunliu said: "I heard that Dali Temple interrogated the officials of Shuntian Mansion, but that night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and those who couldn't see their five fingers could not be seen, and those people also looked at the fortune teller written on the door plaque, so they rushed in to arrest people, and they couldn't tell which house they went to and who they hit." ”
Nie Siyun asked again: "How was this matter dealt with later?" ”
Chunliu said: "I heard that the dispute in the court was quite fierce, and He Dong, the supervisor of the Qintian Prison, was bent on standing up for his brother-in-law, and he bit Shuntianfu Yin to death, and Shuntianfu Yin refused to admit it, Dali Temple couldn't break this headless case, so he asked the emperor to decide." In the end, the emperor held the Shuntianfu accountable for failing to fully guarantee the safety of Gyeonggi, deducted half a year's salary, and had to compensate He San for his losses. ”
Nie Siyun finally finished the painting at hand, put the brush aside, and then said, "The emperor's disposal still sounds good. After all, this beating incident happened in the capital, and Shuntianfu was suspected of dereliction of duty. It's just that the second master may have to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster. ”
Chunliu didn't understand: "What does Miss mean by this?" The emperor judged that Shuntian Mansion Yin should bear full responsibility, and it was only right for Shuntian Mansion to break the wealth. ”
Nie Siyun just smiled: "I'll just say it casually." ”
Chunliu looked at Nie Siyun suspiciously, and didn't ask any more.
Another day passed, Chunliu rushed in, and as soon as he saw Nie Siyun, he said, "Miss, do you know how to tell fortunes, why are you so accurate?" ”
"What's accurate?" Nie Siyun said casually, she was looking at the Hanmei picture that she had framed yesterday to see where there was a flaw.
"Miss, don't look at it, the slave is talking to you about business." Chunliu smiled and put away the painting for her, then pressed her on the chair, and chattered.
The slave and maid heard that the mothers-in-law in the house broke their mouths, saying that last night, there was no peace in the second room, and the second master did not rest in the second lady's house, but went to Aunt Chen's side. The second lady cried all night, and more than half of the shops under the name of the second lady on Luoxia Street today posted a transfer notice, as if saying that something happened to the second lady's maiden family and she urgently needed money. ”
Speaking of this, Chunliu lowered her voice and said, "Miss, when the junior slave heard this, she thought it was true. Later, when I thought of what the young lady had said, the slave didn't believe it. ”
Nie Siyun smiled and asked again, "What about the eldest aunt?" I remember that she seemed to be going to live in the mansion for a while, so that she could take care of Cousin Huo Wu. ”
Chunliu said disdainfully: "Where does she still have a face to live, I heard that the second master didn't give her a good look, and he didn't pay attention to it when they met." My aunt and grandmother felt very bored, so I returned to Huzhou early this morning. ”
Nie Siyun thought to herself, the matter was caused by Huo Wude, and then the eldest aunt and grandmother came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and then the second master and Shuntianfu were involved. Now that Shuntianfu is punished, the second master is going to break a lot of money, and that aunt and grandmother have become a harmful spirit, she won't leave at this time, when will she stay?
"What about the chivalrous man who cut off Huo Wu's fingers, have you found out?" Nie Siyun asked again.
