Chapter Ninety-Six: The Frame-up of Ming Huang
"Oops, still no! The bed at home is not enough! Zhong Ziyuan's eyes purred, and she suddenly slapped her face, and said to Mrs. Mei with a smile: "Mrs. Mei, you see that we met for the first time, and I didn't prepare any meeting gifts. Or I'll give you this newly-bought slave and maid. If your daughter country is so successful, she must need help, right? ”
Mrs. Mei put down the teacup in her hand, forced a smile, nodded solemnly and said, "Master Jia just rest assured, my daughter is in charge of affairs." Down to the miscellaneous servants, Xiao Er, and cooks, all of them are women who rely on their hands and support themselves. They have hundreds of guests to serve every day, and they are indeed very short of manpower. ”
Seeing that the lady really wanted to accept herself, the woman's little face, which was already unable to hold a smile, became more and more gray. Since she has to live such a hard life again, why should she sell herself?
Originally, her family was well-off, and she had not suffered much since she was born. Later, her father became addicted to gambling and lost all his fortune, and one night a few days ago, he got drunk and fell into a canal and drowned. She is a woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, except for this passable appearance, she has no ability to easily earn money and live back to the leisurely life she used to have.
In fact, her courage has always been the polar opposite of her weak appearance. So she had a heart in her mind and staged this farce with the fat woman who was originally her neighbor.
Her purpose is just to continue to live without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of her life. So he can only use his appearance as bait and use his life experience to win sympathy. As long as you hook a big fish, you can't live a good life in the future. I didn't expect her to think it out repeatedly and carefully. There are almost no loopholes in the performance, but only hooked such a good-looking wooden fish, how can she not hate it in her heart. And how not to be annoyed.
Obviously, she saw pity in the eyes of this handsome boy in brocade before, why did she end up like this? It turned out that not only his wealth was fake, but even the pity in his eyes was false. Knowing this, she might as well be the ninth aunt of the brocade-clothed man's family. Now in addition to the coldness in the eyes of this handsome boy, there is also a hint of mockery. The woman in white felt a strong sense of fear in her heart.
She hurriedly took out the money bag that was not yet hot, pushed it in front of Zhong Ziyuan, and cried incoherently: "Son, it's good." Please don't give me away. Why don't you give me back the deed of sale?" I will be grateful for the great kindness of my son when I am a cow and a horse. She was crying hysterically like this, she didn't know, she thought that Zhong Ziyuan was robbing the people's girls here.
Zhong Ziyuan has not yet spoken. But Cardamom wasn't happy. She originally thought that this woman in white was pitiful, but she didn't expect that this poor person also had something to hate. She pinched her waist and shouted bitterly: "This is really shameless, then the world is invincible!" Before, you cried and shouted and begged our son to buy you. Our son-in-law kindly reminded you at that time. Whether you are willing to sign this deed of sale is all up to you. It was you who signed it without hesitation, and now you have not yet gone out of the door and you have begun to regret it, is it possible that this is still my son-in-law did something wrong? ”
"What childe? Isn't it just a poor sour with no money and no power! The woman in white was so excited by cardamom, and the gentleness and shyness that originally appeared were all gone. She suddenly raised her distorted face to look at Zhong Ziyuan, and the viciousness in her eyes was not concealed at all. She shouted sharply and bitterly: "With your identity, how can you be worthy of being my master?" How do you deserve me to serve? ”
She was also panicked, so she deliberately spoke ill of her. just hoped that he could suffer some flesh and skin, so that Zhong Ziyuan was angry and took out the deed of sale to set himself free. It's just that her face frightened the brocade-clothed man. He didn't expect that once this beautiful girl turned her face, she would be no different from the shrew in the market. It turned out that this was not a weak and harmless white lotus, but a mandala with a highly poisonous body.
"You" Cardamom was really enraged.
Zhong Ziyuan was not shocked or angry, she even picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip. With a weird smile, he took out the deed of sale and shook it in front of the woman in white, and said with a sigh: "Originally, I saw that your jade hands were delicate and flawless, and I guessed that you might be from a rich family." I didn't expect two sentences to be low. Maybe you still don't understand what it means to sign this deed of sale, so let me tell you. ”
She leaned forward, stared at the resentful eyes of the woman in white, and said maliciously: "Since you signed this deed of sale, you have been the most despicable person. Just like my cattle and sheep, no matter whether I, the master, want to fight, sell, or give away, no one has the right to interfere. Even if it's killed! It's just a few taels of burned silver. Got it? ”
In fact, there are many kinds of slaves and maids, like this, those who sell themselves as slaves for life will be beaten into the lowly status and become the private property of the master's family, life and death are the master's final say, even if the offspring born in the future will be lowly for generations. was killed, and he also paid a few taels of buried silver.
There is also a work contract, as long as the time is completed, you can return to freedom. Such a slave is still a good citizen, even if he is a master, he can be beaten but not killed. If he was killed, the master would have broken the law and would be severely punished by the law. And Lan'er, who died in Zhang Shilang's family, is such an identity.
The woman in white was stunned after listening to Zhong Ziyuan's words, she didn't know any of this. In the past, when the family was rich, her father also bought two little maids to serve her. At that time, she treated the two maids as cattle and sheep gangs, and if she was not satisfied, she would either beat or scold. Later, the family was defeated, and the two little girls were sold by her in exchange for a few taels of silver.
In fact, she didn't want to sell herself as a slave, but she saw that Zhong Ziyuan actually allowed the slave to eat at the same table with her, so she decided that although this person was rich and noble, he was a soft-eared and kind-hearted person, and he must be very easy to handle. In addition, Zhong Ziyuan's facial features are very handsome, which will make her extremely admired in her heart, and she will be entangled.
Unexpectedly, this qiē is all fake. This seemingly good-faced handsome boy is actually as fierce as a wolf and as cunning as a fox. In a few words, he will cut off his rich future. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, the more she thought about it, the more regretful she became, and her eyes couldn't help but roll around.
Suddenly, she met the gaze of the brocade-robed man. Her eyes lit up, and she rushed over and hugged his knees, rubbing her soft breasts against his knees. While crying with tears in his eyes, he said: "Childe, I am willing to be your ninth aunt, you save me, save me." ”
Zhong Ziyuan was so happy, he had seen a shameless one, but he had never seen such a shameless one. I really think of myself as a character. Originally, she just wanted to knock and knock this woman, so forget it. As a result, people didn't take their newly appointed master seriously at all. actually wanted to take advantage of the situation to suppress people, this really touched Zhong Ziyuan's reverse scales.
The man in brocade originally saw the inconsistency between the appearance and the appearance of the woman in white, and he couldn't help but retreat in his heart. The desire to want her has also subsided a lot. But when he was touched by her soft breasts, and then he whispered softly, his head seemed to be poured into the paste, and he could only think with his lower body.
He squeezed her fair cheek hard. Said with great ambition: "The little lady just waits with peace of mind." Uncle, I'll buy you back. "His aunt bought it back with money, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the woman in white's request. He strode up to Zhong Ziyuan, threw down a heavy money bag with a "snap", and said arrogantly: "There are about thirty taels of silver here, take them all!" It's as if I bought the little lady and brought her deed of sale. After speaking, he spread out his big hand at Zhong Ziyuan.
Zhong Ziyuan didn't expect this rude man to be a little infatuated. obviously found out that the woman was not a good person, but she dared to go home. couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "What a refreshing man." But she didn't touch the money bag on the table. only said meaningfully: "But I am reluctant to sell her, I am still waiting for her to go back to laundry and cooking, chopping wood and carrying burdens!" ”
"Hey, you dead quack, don't get cheap and sell well. You can earn ten taels of silver from this handover, which is enough to buy several maids to help you do the work. Why do you want to bully this girl? Don't you look at people's beauty and want to take advantage! He clenched his big fist tightly and dangled it in front of Zhong Ziyuan, the threat overflowing. In fact, he has always hated these little white faces who are more handsome than himself, especially when they still compete with him for women.
Zhong Ziyuan looked at him expressionlessly, as if he was jumping off the beam with contempt. She said coldly: "Doesn't this son understand human words? Now the deed of sale is in my hands, as long as I don't want to take it out, even if the emperor comes, I can't. ”
The man in brocade didn't expect that he would be rejected, so he couldn't help but shout angrily: "You are presumptuous, just a dead quack, don't be ashamed." ”
A cold light flashed in Zhong Ziyuan's eyes: "Then how are you going?" Don't think that everyone is a bully. "She was angry. The momentum that erupted at this moment made Mrs. Mei frown. No one would think that she was just a powerless traveling doctor.
Even the woman in white saw it, and couldn't help hating this person for being cunning, and she must have been just coaxing people with lies before.
The man in brocade felt that he had lost face in front of Mei Jiao Niang, so he couldn't help but glare, and shouted angrily: "It's really a toast and don't eat, and you can't eat it." He actually punched Zhong Ziyuan at the door. He has been in the market for a long time, and even if he has not learned kung fu, he is also a master of fighting. In addition, he was jealous that the little white face in front of him was more handsome than himself, and when he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to destroy that face first.
Everyone exclaimed, and Mrs. Mei also hurriedly said to the servants behind her: "Go quickly, don't let people hurt Jia Gongzi." ”
Only Zhong Ziyuan sat there motionless, without even blinking his eyes. The man who had been hiding in the shadows for a long time couldn't help but sigh secretly, and he finally moved.
Seeing that the fist of the man in brocade was almost touching Zhong Ziyuan's tall nose, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and a dish that flew from nowhere smashed on his front door. There was a "buzz" in his head, and seven meat and eight vegetables came up together. I also thought that there was a dye shop on my face, and red, white, and black splashed out in all directions. Of course, the red ones are nosebleeds, the white ones are the scraps, and the black ones are the freshly ground sesame paste
He fell to the ground all at once, and he screamed several times before stopping, but one side of his face was swollen like a peach, and his already small eyes narrowed into a slit. His face was also scratched several times, and there were two tubes of blood hanging under his nose.
At this time, a tall man wearing a black power suit with an expressionless face walked up to Zhong Ziyuan. He clenched his fist at Zhong Ziyuan and asked coldly, "Do you want to imprison this thief who offended Gongzi?" ”
This is really arrogant, like the prison was opened by his family. However, the kind of power he invisibly exuded made everyone present feel a strong pressure. No one dared to doubt the truth of his words.
The brocade-clothed man was not convinced, he wanted to laugh a few words, but his face hurt badly, so his face became more and more distorted.
But just because he doesn't have knowledge doesn't mean that others don't have knowledge. Mrs. Mei, who was sitting opposite Zhong Ziyuan, saw a waist tag hanging on the man's waist at a glance, which could only be worn by the six-rank guards. She couldn't help laughing secretly, this self-proclaimed powerless and powerless Doctor Jia, who even had a problem with eating, actually had a six-grade guard secretly protecting him, wasn't he pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!
Zhong Ziyuan chuckled lightly and asked the guard, "Has he violated the king's law?" ”
"Wang Fa?" The guard frowned, and he suddenly bent down to pick up a piece of broken porcelain from the ground, and strode over to the brocade-clothed man who was still stunned. He shoved the broken piece of porcelain into the man's hand and raised his fist again to make a striking motion. The brocade-clothed man waved his hand in fright, and the broken porcelain piece in his hand made an arc in the air, cutting a big hole in the sleeve of the guard's coat.
The guard suddenly grabbed his arm exaggeratedly and shouted loudly: "You actually dare to assassinate the imperial court officials, but is there any royal law?" Someone! Quickly put him in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”
The crime of "assassinating the court official" is not small, the man in brocade hurriedly threw away the porcelain piece in his hand, and roared unconvinced: "I don't accept it, where is the court official!" Don't bully me and come to coax me if you don't read much. ”
The guard sneered, tore off the waist card on his waist, shook it in front of him, and said in a dark voice: "Even if you don't read much, you should recognize the words on it!" This official is a dignified six-rank guard with a sword. He tugged at his sleeve again and said, "You assassinated the official with a porcelain piece, and everyone present can prove it." What else do you have to say? Someone comes, take him back to prison. ”
This is a shameless and blatant frame-up, which opened the eyes of everyone present, but there was nothing to say. After all, the guard's arm was indeed injured by the broken porcelain piece in the hand of the man in brocade. (To be continued......)
