Cui Shitu sat in a chair and listened to Xu's cry below.

A fairly solid home, just because there are 100 acres of tea plantations, the family is ruined, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who can believe it.

Xu said: "The imperial court sent one after another, we just listened to the name, who has really investigated those corrupt officials." ”

"It is said that the board does not go to the sea, and those fishing villages along the coast, if they do not obey the orders of those officials, they will be charged with the crime of complication, and when those Japanese are beheaded, we have also gone to see where there are half of them."

Xu's tears fell, "My father-in-law was about to go to Beijing to file a complaint, and he found some villagers to escape overnight, but he was informed, and he was arrested before he left Chong'an, and he was splashed to death with hot oil from two cauldrons in front of our people." ”

Xu Shi looked at Cui Shitu with red eyes, "That's my father-in-law, a man in his sixties, suffering like that, I have never heard such a scream, it is no longer like a human voice, we keep kowtowing, trying to beg those people to spare the life of my father-in-law, but where is it useful, those people are like red eyes, like to see the green smoke rising from the sizzle, listen to our crying, good people, were tortured into red and black, those people laughed, and even grabbed a child in the village and asked, "Is it fragrant?" ”

"That smell," Xu Shi thought of the scene, his face almost distorted, "I still remember it." ”

The child was so frightened that he refused to speak, but he was shaken a few times before he opened his mouth and said, "Xiang." ”

The officers and soldiers burst out laughing, anxious to tease the child. Want to eat? Poured oil and fragrant tightly. He also used a knife to pick a piece of ripe skin and meat to the little baby's mouth.

When Xu Shi said this, tears kept falling, and she finally couldn't help but bury her face in the veil and cry bitterly.

The flesh and skin of people are splashed with oil, and they are even fragrant.

Who could have imagined that kind of scene?

Cui Shitu also seemed to smell the smell of fried meat at the end of his nose, which made the hairs on his body stand on end. He slapped his palm on the low table, "These brutes. ”

"It's a brute," Xu's forehead floated, but her anger quickly turned into sadness, and she showed a hint of ridicule, "We, the villagers, are not clothed. If you don't have enough to eat, how can you be considered a human being, but a beast that can be slaughtered at will. ”

"My man heard that the newly arrived prefect of Jianning in Fujian is from our Chong'an County. was ready to complain about the grievances, and the prefect was admitted to the Jinshi that year, and our entire Chong'an went to congratulate him. ”

Cui Shitu remembered the situation when he was a jinshi, and everyone congratulated him all the way back. "Cui Jialang. You must be a good official. ”

Cui Shitu couldn't help but say: "What did the prefect of Jianning say?" Have you ever asked for help? ”

Xu Shi smiled miserably, "Master, you should know, now there are only two of us women and children left in the family, and when my man left, he said that in the future, he would knock on the drum and complain in front of the saint." ”

"It's ridiculously tight when I think about it now. It has always been the protection of officials and officials, who is willing to avenge our powerless and powerless families. ”

Cui Shitu remembered that he would try to release the list. What he wants in his heart is to show his ambitions, not only to be an official, but also to be an aspiring official.

Hanging his head and regretting his golden bones, he still has a heart of thousands of miles.

Since when did he forget about all this, just wanting to protect himself.

It was because he knew that the throne of the saint today was not glorious, and he couldn't agree with it in his heart, but after the bloody storm of seizing the heir, he saw the tragic situation of the Lu family, so he retreated.

Or maybe these are just the reasons he gave himself.

"Until Master Cui came to Fujian, killed the noble marquis in power, and asked people to find our mother and son, to avenge us," Xu said, "Now my dead father-in-law and man can finally look at it." ”

Cui Shitu raised his head, these were really arranged by Yiting.

His son, who had never been optimistic, could do such a thing.

Did he really wronged Yiting?

Thinking about Yi Ting's nonsense since he was a child, he never refused to listen to his teachings, and he was a backbone, he always felt that Yi Ting was a person who didn't know right from wrong, and sooner or later he would cause trouble.

Xu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Cui Shitu, "Master, without your family, our mother and son would have lost their lives." ”

"Hurry up."

Cui Shitu was about to order someone to help the Xu family up, and Wan Ning next to him had already stepped forward to hold up the Shen family, "Don't worry, my father-in-law and second master will definitely help you." ”

Wan Ning looked at Cui Shitu, and Cui Shitu's face had already swelled up with a bit of righteous indignation.

Without waiting for Xu to speak, Cui Shitu looked at the child beside Xu and beckoned him to come over, "Don't stand, come and eat some snacks." ”

The child was a little scared at first, and raised his head to look at Xu, but he got Xu's encouraging gaze, and then walked forward.

At first, he walked slowly, and when he saw that Cui Shitu had been full of kindness, he sped up his pace and walked to Cui Shitu.

Cui Shitu picked up a piece of golden silk cake and handed it to the child.

The little child took it, raised a pair of watery eyes, and shouted, "Thank you, Grandpa." ”

Then two or three bites ate half of the golden silk cake, and before he licked the dim sum residue from his mouth, he turned his head to look at Shen, hurriedly protected the dim sum with both hands, and sent half of the dim sum to Xu's mouth.

Cui Shitu looked at a mother and son, his eyes were sour, and he stood up, "Don't worry, if there is a grievance, we will definitely help." ”

When encountering this kind of thing, as long as there are officials with some conscience, they should find out clearly.

This kind of unconscionable thing should have been uncovered a long time ago.

……

Wan Ning settled Xu and returned to the flower hall.

Mrs. Cui was talking to Mrs. Li, and when she saw Wanning coming back, she said, "How is it, but everything has been arranged?" ”

The ladies in the room pricked up their ears.

Even the Zhao family looked at Wan Ning, for fear of missing a special look on Wan Ning's face.

Wan Ning was a little embarrassed, but pretended to be nothing, "It's done." ”

Mrs. Cui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine." ”

Mrs. Li looked outside, "The spring tea has already been picked, right?" It's time to collect tea," he said, looking at his wife beside him. "I can't remember when there was new tea to drink, but Cui Er's grandmother knew about these things."

easily threw the topic to Wan Ning again.

Zhao bent the corners of his mouth, so many female dependents are here. I'm afraid it's not easy for the Yao family to escape lightly, these wives are obviously here to inquire about the news today, and they all look like they want to stay for a long time, no matter what happens to the Cui family today, they can't escape the eyes of these people.

Wan Ning smiled: "Yes, the spring tea has been picked, and you will be able to drink the new tea in a few days." ”

Mrs. Lee's eyes flashed. "I heard that the second grandmother collected a lot of tea in Fujian."

Wan Ning nodded.

Mrs. Li said: "Why did the businessmen from Fujian come to the door? ”

Mrs. Cui frowned, this was clearly to ask Wanning, Mrs. Li would never inquire so explicitly. What's going on today.

Wan Ning frowned at the question.

The ladies in the room seemed to notice something.

Something really happened to the Cui family, and the second grandmother Cui was probably out of control, if it continued like this, the courtiers would point fingers at the Cui family.

Mrs. Lee probed over. Lowered his voice. "But what's the problem?" Saying that, he looked at Mrs. Cui, "We have always been good with your mother-in-law, if you have anything, you might as well talk about it, and we can help you."

Several wives were full of concern, as if they were really here to help the Cui family.

Wan Ning stopped talking and looked at Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui sighed, "Yiting was impeached by the imperial history, and now there are old ministers of the former emperor kneeling outside the palace gate...... I don't have an idea about this one thing or another. Do you have any difficulties in collecting tea? ”

"It's not a difficult place." Wan Ning pursed her lips, "It's just...... I got it wrong......"

Wan Ning said to stop, which made Mrs. Li anxious to hear it.

"What did you get wrong?"

Wan Ning raised her head, "I made a mistake, I overcharged the tea, I had already signed the paperwork before, and it was not easy to change ......"

Mrs. Li felt that there was something wrong with Grandma Cui's words, but she couldn't say what was wrong, so she had to listen quietly.

"If you want to help, a few wives can really help, but I'm embarrassed to open my mouth, and the second master and I understand the intentions of the wives."

"This is really going to kill me," Mrs. Li didn't know what to say, but just looked left and right, "This kid doesn't want to say anything when he encounters a big incident, and he really treats us as outsiders." ”

There was a sound of Ying He all around.

Wan Ning had no choice but to say: "Then I'll say it, and it won't be a good idea to live up to the good intentions of a few wives." ”

There was a sudden silence in the flower hall.

Wan Ning said: "A few wives in the business are also clear, this income can not be said accurately, maybe a profit, but also a loss, last year the new tea sold well, I let the steward go to Fujian to collect tea, I want to do more, so as not to sell enough, who knows that there is a good year, and more rain, the hand of tea is much more than usual, since the previous has set the paperwork, I can not regret it, so it is inevitable that the money is a little not together, a few wives here, if you can lend me some money turnover, it is naturally the best." ”

Mrs. Li was a little surprised when she heard the end, and raised her eyes, Grandma Cui Er was looking at her, waiting for her to reply.

What do Grandma Choi's words mean?

Want to borrow money from them?

This is 108,000 miles different from what she thought, she thought that Grandma Cui Er would say that Fujian businessmen suddenly came to the door, afraid of being targeted by the imperial historian.

They just listened to the news from Fujian, where they could give any ideas, at most a few words of comfort.

Who knew that Grandma Cui was not in a hurry to talk about business in front of them.

She had already boasted that Haikou wanted to help, what should she say now?

Knowing that I am afraid that I will not be able to open the port this time, the Cui family will also be reprimanded for this, where does she dare to get involved, even if she has money, she can't borrow it, not to mention that the Cui family has fallen, I'm afraid she won't be able to repay them for a while.

Mrs. Li was embarrassed, "My sister has just gotten married, and I want to prepare for my brother's marriage, I want to help, but it's not time to ......."

Wan Ning looked at Mrs. Wang beside Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Wang also looked sad, "This ...... It's not a small amount, and I can't be the master. ”

The people who kept saying that they wanted to help suddenly became difficult in a panic, and Wan Ning looked over and only thought it was funny.
