Chapter Ninety-Six: Conflict
Zhao Xiu was stunned, and turned his head to look at the young man who was said to be Zhao Ze. Just now, because he has been following behind Master Yu, although his appearance is still beautiful, but he gives people a gloomy feeling, he lowers his head and does not speak, he looks angry and honest, and the clothes on his body are not made of high-quality materials, and he also chooses an inconspicuous color like gray and blue. She only thought that this was the little guy next to Master Yu, but Master Yu actually said that this is the eldest grandson of Xiao Changfang, Zhao Ze, the eldest son of the Jiang family? !
Zhao Ze raised his head slightly, glanced at her quickly, and lowered his head again expressionlessly.
Zhao Xiu put away his smile and turned his eyes to look at Master Yu: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"What do you mean?" Master Yu smiled, "What can I mean?" He is the person of your second room, although the two rooms are separated, but this is the old house of the second room, and the people of the small second room are not allowed to live in the small long room? They are all the same descendants of the county grandfather, so they are naturally qualified to live in. You are young and ignorant and don't know how to do it, so quickly let your housekeeper come out and let them take their subordinates to clean up the yard. It was as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, since the little long house is a long house, and Brother Ze'er's father is the eldest son and grandson, he should live in the main house of the main courtyard." But it seems that the courtyard has not been inhabited for some years, and your old lady usually watches over things there, but lives in the courtyard at the back. Hurry up and let people clean up the east wing of the main courtyard first, forget about other remote small courtyards, there is no such rule. ”
Propriety? Zhao Yu lost his authority in the sect, but he relied on filial piety to pressure his son and daughter-in-law to show his prestige, and now he came to the second room to talk about the rules. Not to mention that Zhao Ze killed his younger brother at a young age. He is a guilty body, he is still a repeat offender of Dali Temple, and he is embarrassed to run back to the old house to pretend to be his eldest son and grandson? Do you want to live in the main hospital? Xiao Changfang is afraid that he is not from the Zhao family at this time. She was stupid to let people clean up the yard.
Zhao Xiu snorted coldly, only stared at Zhao Ze, and ignored Zhao Yu's words. Zhao Ze kept his head down and was silent, Zhao Yu waited for a while, and also sensed that something was wrong, and said to Zhao Xiu with a straight face: "Sister Xiu, what's the matter with you?" Why don't you tell someone to clean up the house? ”
Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows: "What is Uncle Yu anxious about?" I've just met you. But there are still people who haven't given me a gift, and the number of gifts is not complete, so why should I be told to pack up the house? Who is he? Dare to support me?! ”
Zhao Yu reacted. Although Zhao Xiu is young, he is Zhao Ze's aunt in terms of seniority, and even if Zhao Ze is the eldest son and grandson, he should pay tribute to Zhao Xiu. I don't know what's going on with Zhao Ze. After entering the door, he kept a straight face and didn't speak. Could it be that he deliberately didn't give Zhao Xiu a gift? Although the people in the two rooms have always had a grudge, they must always get by on the face, otherwise whether the clansmen or outsiders know about it, they will only say that Zhao Ze's is not.
He called Zhao Ze and whispered, "Hurry up, I've seen your aunt." ”
Zhao Ze continued to bow his head and remain silent, Zhao Yu frowned and reached out to pull his arm. He ducked back, not without speaking. Zhao Xiu chuckled. Zhao Yu's face was a little uncomfortable, and he glared at Zhao Ze: "What's the matter with you kid?!" I'll let you give your aunt a salute, are you deaf?! ”
Zhao Xiu said coldly: "Forget it, such a person who doesn't know the etiquette and doesn't respect the elders, what kind of fame do they have?" If you go out, you will lose your grandfather's face and ruin the reputation of your ancestors, so it is better to eat idle meals at home for the rest of your life. ”
Zhao Ze raised his head angrily and glared at her: "Did you say enough?!" Why are you little second room so hateful?! In the past, you slandered my mother, and my mother was imprisoned, you didn't even let me go of a child, I was only six years old, and you said that I killed my younger brother, and I wanted to force our whole family to death! Even if your grandfather harmed your people, and your grandfather paid for it with his life, what are you not satisfied with? Now I want to go back to the house that my great-grandfather left for the eldest son of the long house, and you still don't allow it, and you still have to pour dirty water on me, it's crazy! ”
Zhao Yu's face changed: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Shut up! ”
But he stopped it too late, Zhao Xiu's face had changed, and he sneered: "We slandered? What a big white lotus! My father and mother even lost their lives, and their subordinates also took more than 20 lives, how crippled are your brains, so that you think we are slandering you?! Even if one life is one life, your grandfather is dead, and there is only one life! And don't call it wronged, how did your grandfather die? Don't you know that your mother poisoned your grandfather in this old mansion? It's just that your grandfather was lucky, and the people waiting around him were poisoned and died for him, and your grandfather was so angry that he was about to vomit blood! Don't say that we made it all up, the Lord Qincha in the palace saw it from beginning to end, clearly, if you have the ability, go to the court and say that we bought the people around the emperor to lie! Also, it's a fact that you killed your brother when you were six years old, don't pretend to be fine, this is a witness, even your mother admitted it! ”
Zhao Ze was even more angry: "What witness? Tell her to come out! Pointing to a dead girl and saying that she is a witness, who will believe her?! My mother was beaten into a trick! No matter how young I was at the time, I could remember it for a long time, so why didn't I remember what I had done to my brother? He's too young and weak to stand, that's his life, why should it be counted on my head?! If it weren't for your nonsense, how could I have suffered so much over the years?! "Thinking of these years, he didn't have his mother to take care of him, his father was far away at the border, his grandmother didn't like him, Aunt Qian was rubbing him openly and secretly, and several younger brothers and sisters regarded him as an enemy, and only one of his own sisters was towards him, but he was raised by his grandmother's side and couldn't see each other every day. He was full of bitterness and had nowhere to confide, and the indignation in his heart deepened.
Zhao Xiu directly smacked him: "You don't remember?" I'm afraid I remember to pretend to forget jì, right? If you hadn't killed someone, why did your mother have to be cruel to our family's well water? Isn't it just to kill people? For your sake, your mother did not hesitate to get rid of all the insiders at a price, and now she is still locked up in Dali Temple, so you erased all her efforts and made her efforts in vain. Your mother is not a good person, you are even worse, for the sake of your so-called innocent reputation, you don't even care about filial piety, hurry up and leave here for me, don't dirty my door! ”
Zhao Ze was about to rush forward in a hurry, and Zhao Xiu had been practicing boxing for many years. Hands and feet are flexible, how can it be so easy to suffer? One wrong step to avoid his momentum, and a clever mix of his feet. He couldn't hold his feet, and directly fell and gnawed on the mud.
Zhao Xiu glared at the back of his head: "What's the matter?" If you can't justify it, you have to start beating people, whose upbringing is this? is really worthy of being the grandson of a murderer, and the mother of a murderer, and she is also a murderer! He also beckoned to the people waiting in the front yard: "Hurry up and tie up the people for me, and send them to the ancestral hall immediately." Such a bastard thing that has no respect for the elders, and is guilty of the following crimes. If I don't punish him, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”
The people in the front yard were actually stunned for a long time, and listened to Zhao Xiu's words. Fang just woke up, and as soon as he rushed up, he was about to tie up Zhao Ze.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. scolded those who did it: "Blind." This is your master, how many heads do you have? Don't let people go yet! ”
Zhao Xiu dismantled his platform on the spot: "Don't let it go!" This kid poisoned his aunt, and he committed the following crimes, and it was also his fault to make trouble with the government, who is afraid of whom?! ”
Zhao Yu was angry: "You girl is so unreasonable, don't say that the two rooms have always had grudges, and it is common for him to treat you coldly." Even if he was rude first, he tied up his nephew to the government for this little thing. It's too much, right? He's going to take the children's exam next year, isn't your bundle ruining his future? ”
Zhao Xiu sneered: "What future does he want?" He is a murderer of his younger brother, just because the witness is dead and he is young, he was able to escape responsibility, and An An will share the life of his rich son and brother, what kind of imperial examination do you want to take? If you become an official in the future, will you be able to kill more people?! ”
Zhao Ze was held to the ground by his subordinates, still struggling and shouting angrily: "You are talking nonsense! I didn't kill anyone! You slandered me! You don't have any witnesses to prove that I did that kind of thing! ”
Zhao Xiu glanced at him contemptuously: "Are you so sure?" Think the witnesses are dead? "Sister-in-law Pearl came back from the dead, she was the first person to tell Chuncao after witnessing the murder, and she can be regarded as half a witness. Speaking of which, Zhao Xiu himself can be regarded as a half-witness, but it is not easy to say. In fact, what kind of witness is needed in this case? Back then, the Jiang family admitted it in front of the Qin messenger sent by the palace. Dali Temple didn't pursue Zhao Ze, mostly because he was too young and felt that he couldn't have intentionally killed someone.
Zhao Ze was stunned, but immediately struggled again: "I haven't done it yet, I haven't done it!" Zhao Xiu just sneered and said nothing.
Zhao Yu saw that the situation was not good, and he only felt that his face was not very good-looking. Before leaving Beijing, he had made a package ticket in front of the Niu family, and he would definitely help Zhao Ze gain a firm foothold in the second room. Now don't say that the goal has been achieved, the Zhang family and Zhao Wei have not passed the level, and he has suffered a loss here at Zhao Xiu's little girl. He had to keep a straight face, and said sternly: "Sister Xiu, what are you doing?" I brought Brother Ze back, and you scolded and tied people up as soon as you took a look, did you take me seriously?! ”
Zhao Xiu was unmoved, only squinted at him: "I also want to ask Uncle Yu, what are you doing here?" Don't you know that we have a big enmity with Xiao Changfang? Did Zhao Ze kill his brother, don't you know? What did the Jiang family say in this house back then, do you really know nothing? Even if he couldn't remember his age at the time, or deliberately pretended to forget, did you connive at him to make trouble in our house, and asked our family to arrange for him to live in the main courtyard? Or are you going to tear your face with our little second room?! ”
Zhao Yu was asked by her, and he was a little nervous: "Hu ...... What nonsense? Where do I mean that? Whether he did that or not, the government didn't pursue it, and his grandmother and father didn't say anything, we are just clansmen, what do we care about doing so much? As long as he is still the grandson of the second house, he is eligible to live in this house. Speaking of this, he trembled again: "You insist on blocking it, could it be that Xiao Erfang is planning to occupy all the properties of the second room?" I'm afraid that the grudge with Xiao Changfang is just an excuse, right? ”
Zhao Xiu looked at his expression, she only felt extremely ugly, she didn't talk to him, and directly ordered her subordinates: "Escort Zhao Ze, let's go to the ancestral hall!" Then he turned back and smiled at Zhao Yu: "Uncle Yu might as well go over and take a look, there is a clan conference today." But you may be back a little late, I'm afraid you'll even finish the ticket this time, right? Brother Jing has presided over the clan affairs in the past few months, and he is very attentive to the sacrifices, and he is not willing to be left behind in the relief of the disaster-stricken clansmen, and he is very praised by the clan. It seems that Uncle Yu, you can rest assured that you can hand over the family business and clan affairs to Brother Jing, and you don't have to worry about it in the future. ”
Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Xiu's expression, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little cold on his body. (To be continued......)
