Chapter 303: Miserable
At this time, Xiao Jiu's father, who was lying on the bed, finally opened his eyes, he saw the people in the house, and suddenly remembered what happened in the broken temple last night, he understood that he was saved by the nobles, and wanted to struggle to get up, but he had no strength.
Xiao Jiu was crying beside him.
"Xiao Jiu, don't cry, if I can help you, I will definitely help you." Gu Xinyu assured that his tone was unquestionable.
And Xiao Jiu's father finally calmed down, he knew that this was an opportunity, so he didn't talk nonsense, cheered up, and intermittently told Gu Xinyu about the tragic experiences his family had suffered
It turned out that Xiao Jiu's father was a famous winemaker in Shouchang City, surnamed Shi, called Shi Yuzhong, and their family had a winery that had been passed down for nearly a hundred years, and the wine they brewed was the favorite of these people in the north of the Central Plains.
Because the wine brewed by their family is mellow and full of energy, the sales are also very good, and before that incident, the Shi family was also famous in Shouchang City.
Their house is also very large, and the brewery is also very atmospheric, and in the cellar built underground, some of the wine has been stored for more than 50 years, and it is a good thing that many officials and nobles flock to.
is the same as the wine made by Gu Xinyu, it is in short supply, because Xiao Jiu's father, Shi Yuzhong, has extremely strict requirements in this regard, every procedure is strictly controlled, the selection of wine, and the way of making wine are different from other wineries.
And Xiao Jiu is on top, and there is an older brother. Two older sisters, and a capable mother.
When Xiao Jiu heard this, he took his father's hand and cried.
The little young master, who used to be the heart of the whole family and was pampered, fell to the bottom overnight, thinking of his mother, thinking of his brother and sister who loved him, Xiao Jiu cried with grief, but Shi Yuzhong had already lost his tears, and he raised his hand with great effort. Wiping away tears from my youngest son's eyes. continued to talk to Gu Xinyu.
I didn't expect a happy and beautiful life, but because Qiao Erbiao, the younger brother of Lin Zhifu's concubine, wanted to get this wine-making workshop, and earth-shaking changes took place.
Qiao Erbiao first tricked the eldest brother of the Shi family to the casino. Collusion with people inside and outside the casino. In one night, the boss of the Shi family lost 30,000 taels of silver.
Then Qiao Erbiao took the IOU. came to the door of the winery and bluntly told Shi Yuzhong that if the house and wine cellar were handed over to them. Then the gamble will be written off.
Otherwise, they will definitely cut off the two arms and two feet of the boss of the Shi family.
30,000 taels of silver, although his family also has small assets, but they are all small businesses, where can there be 30,000 taels of silver?
Although Shi Yuzhong hated his eldest son for not being angry, there was no way, he couldn't watch his eldest son have his legs and feet cut off.
Then Shi Yuzhong borrowed money everywhere, because the Shi family's winery had a good reputation, so Shi Yuzhong really raised 30,000 taels of silver in two days, but he never expected that Shi Yuzhong met a group of thieves on the way home, not only beat Shi Yuzhong to death, but also robbed the silver ticket in his arms.
If it hadn't been discovered by passers-by in time, Shi Yuzhong would have died a long time ago.
On the next day, Qiao Erbiao came to the door with his thugs and begged for 30,000 taels of silver at the gate, but the Shi family really didn't have a penny now.
So Qiao Erbiao snatched Xiao Jiu's two sisters to pay off the debt, because the second brother was reckless by nature, and Qiao Erbiao fought on the spot, and then was stabbed to death by his thug on the spot.
The two sisters were also snatched away, and then Xiao Jiu's two sisters were humiliated, and on the same night, they all committed suicide by hanging themselves, and after Xiao Jiu's mother got the news, she didn't come up in one breath, fainted to the ground, and then never woke up.
The boss of the Shi family regretted not being at the beginning, so he took a knife at night and rushed to Qiao Erbiao's house, but before he could reach the door, he was beaten to death with a stick.
In this way, overnight, a family that was originally harmonious and happy suddenly died, leaving a young child and a dying father.
And Qiao Erbiao took the IOU and came to the door again with the thugs, and at this time, the famous Shijia Liquor Shop in Shouchang City was only one old and one young, and the old one was dying and did not know whether he was alive or dead
Then Qiao Erbiao occupied the Shi family's wine cellar and winery in a grand manner, Xiao Jiu didn't know what to do, with the help of his neighbors, he pulled his father to the broken temple, and begged for some hot soup for his father every day to maintain his life, but he didn't have a penny, and he couldn't see a doctor for his father, and Qiao Erbiao had already put down his words, who dared to help their father and son, all of them were beaten to death.
Qiao Erbiao relied on the power of the prefect to bully and oppress the people, and the people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, because no one dared to provoke him in Shouchang City, so the father and son had reached the point of running out of ammunition and food.
This child was also studying, but because of the great changes in his family, he stopped studying.
Shi Yuzhong couldn't go on anymore, Xiao Jiu wiped his tears, strengthened his expression, and then said to Gu Xinyu: "Mrs. Fairy, I was wrong, I shouldn't have stolen Miss's purse, my father often taught me that to be a man is to be upright, even if you die poor or starving, don't have evil thoughts in your heart." He turned his head and knelt down in front of Shi Yuzhong: "Father, I was wrong, please punish me!" ”
Shi Yuzhong closed his eyes weakly, Xiao Jiu took his father's hand and cried.
At this time, Gu Xinyu was already so angry that she clenched her teeth, her phoenix eyes widened, and she slapped her palm on the table.
This is too lawless, even if your Lin Governor's Mansion is the king's law, you can't cover the sky with one hand like this, there is still a saint today, you just connive at your family, the people, and the lives of people, you are not worthy of being the house of a city at all.
Thinking of this, Gu Xinyu had an idea in his heart.
She pulled Xiao Jiu up, wiped away her tears, and said to him softly: "Xiao Jiu, if you believe me, you will follow me, and I will definitely seek justice for you." ”
Xiao Jiu nodded, and at this time, Xiao Tian'er had already entered the house with the doctor.
Gu Xinyu doesn't have his own business here, after all, it is inconvenient for the doctor to treat the patient himself.
She stood up and left the house with Chunli
Gu Xinyu went up the stairs, thinking as he walked, how to deal with this matter? What kind of method can be used to get justice for Xiao Jiu's family?
She returned to her room and called Linlang and He Ziqing, two people, one smart and the other steady.
Gu Xinyu wanted to find a way with the two of them, because He Lin had now gone out to negotiate the business of the caravan, and he didn't have time to deal with this matter, and Gu Xinyu didn't want He Lin to be distracted by this matter, after all, the main task of this caravan trip was the sale and trading of goods, and Gu Xinyu felt that she really had to deal with this matter.
