Chapter 107: Kindness and Righteousness
Pei Jing and Mrs. Pei left considerately, leaving Yu Shu and Zhao Hui to talk in the room.
Yu Shu put a pillow on Zhao Hui's back, pulled the quilt, held her hand, and asked, "Aunt Hui, tell me carefully, what happened that day, and how did He Langzhong hurt the person?" β
Zhao Hui didn't want Yu Shu to be involved anymore, so she pushed her hand and said, "Don't ask, this matter has nothing to do with you, you must not get into trouble." β
"Aunt Hui," Yu Shuban said with a face, "It's not you who have an accident now, it's He Langzhong who has an accident, and I entrusted him to take care of you, how can it have nothing to do with me, do you know Lu Dao, this case is going to be sentenced, He Langzhong will have to be imprisoned for five years, but not five days, you make it clear to me now, I really want to find a way as soon as possible." β
Zhao Hui was startled, and her expression became hesitant.
Yu Shu added another fire: "If you don't tell me, then I'll go out to reason with the Dou family now, it's best to let them beat me, and I will also go to the yamen to complain." β
"Don't!" Zhao Hui sat up straight and nervously held Yu Shu's hand, "Xiao Yu, don't come nonsense." β
"Then tell me quickly."
"You" Zhao Hui looked at Yu Shu helplessly and told the events of that day in detail.
Yu Shu sneered when he heard this. A few months ago, Zhao Hui was injured by Dou Lu on the street, and the other party was afraid of someone's life, so he fled back to his house in a panic, and now that the limelight has passed, he went out to find out that Zhao Hui was not dead, and he was afraid that Zhao Hui would sue them after he got better, so he went to the door to threaten first.
"He Langzhong happened to be there, and when he saw that they were humiliating to me, he argued with them, Dou Lu was spicy, and if he didn't agree with him, he would go to the bedside and pull me, and he was pushed by He Langzhong, and fell to the ground, and her man didn't follow, and smashed the tables and stools in the house, and fought with He Langzhong, Langzhong was afraid of hurting me, so he pushed them out, and when I drove them out, the man had seen blood, and the man's leg was somehow brokenββ"
"Wait," Yu Shu interjected, and said suspiciously: "Why is it broken somehow, isn't it He Langzhong?" β
Zhao Hui shook her head, her face was also confused: "After they left, Lang Zhong told me that he didn't know how to hurt that person, so he broke the person's leg." β
Yu Shu frowned, this thing sounds strange, could it be that they falsely accused He Langzhong?
"It's not good to blame me, I knew that they would still look for me, so I should hide elsewhere, Lang Zhong won't be for me" Zhao Hui said with a gloomy expression.
Yu Shu didn't comfort her, now the situation is indescribable, the Dou family bit to death It was He Langzhong who killed and injured people, and Ma County's order was their gang, even if He Langzhong does not admit his guilt now, he is afraid that he will be beaten into a trick, just like when Zhao Hui was wrongfully deceived into marriage, then Dou Jiaqiang said that her face did not match the eight characters, and he also found Yi Guan to testify-
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Yu Shu touched his chin and asked Zhao Hui: "Aunt Hui, do you still remember, when the Dou family wronged you, which Yi Pavilion did you find to testify?" β
Zhao Hui looked at her and whispered, "It's the Ji family." β
With a "snap", Yu Shu slapped his thigh and stood up suddenly, Zhao Hui was startled by her, and asked nervously:
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Shu said: "I remember you said that in this Yiyang City, there is also a housekeeper who sent you to Yiyang City back then, can you still have contact with him all these years?" β
Zhao Hui shook her head, and Yu Shu was about to be depressed, so she continued: "Although there is no contact, I know that he opened a bookstore on the street behind Changmenpu. β
Yu Shu was overjoyed, he had a vague idea in his heart, turned around, rubbed his palms and walked back and forth in the room, browning, thinking carefully. ββββββββ
Pei Jing and his wife Qin went back to the bedroom, it was past noon, Pei Jing had always had the habit of taking a lunch break, and today he was even less energetic, Qin helped him take off his coat, and the husband and wife lay down on the bed side by side.
Seeing Pei Jing's frowning, the Qin family persuaded: "You don't have to be upset, I know that you like that child very much and want to help her more, but this kind of private matter, we can help if we can, and if we can't help it, there is no way, can we really cause trouble for them, you don't care about the Dou family, but they still have the Ji family behind them, this matter is really not for us to care." β
Pei Jing nodded and said, "What Madam said is, let them stay in the mansion first, you go back and persuade Zhao Hui, tell her to look away, lest Ah Shu follow her to do something foolish." β
Qin sighed, and then sighed:
"Speaking of which, that Zhao Hui is really hard, a good young lady, she has been in trouble so far, alas."
"Oh? Did Madame hear what she said? Pei Jing only found out that Zhao Hui was cheated on marriage many years ago and had a feud with the Dou family, but he didn't know more.
Qin said: "Then Zhao Hui was originally the daughter of a merchant in Yanzhou, and she was engaged to the Dou family earlier, but later her parents died early, so she left her alone, and entrusted the housekeeper to send her to Yiyang's husband's house before she diedββ"
"Hey, Madame said she was from Yanzhou?" Pei Jing listened to Qin's beginning, his heart moved, he remembered something, and interrupted her words.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"It's all right, Madame continued." Pei Jingxin said that maybe he was suspicious, how could there be such a coincidence.
The Qin family glanced at him, and continued to tell the story of Zhao Hui, speaking of the death of the brother of the Dou family, so he shamelessly falsely accused Zhao Hui of cheating on marriage, and found Yi Guan to prove that the eight characters she sent when she was discussing marriage were fake, and when she embezzled the orphan girl's family property, she was a little indignant, and after finishing speaking, she sighed again:
"It's a pity that she is alone, her dowry was occupied, and she has been reduced to this day, and she has finally lived a more stable life, and there are disasters again."
"It's just that you have your own destiny." Pei Jing stretched out his hand to carry the small pot on the coffee table and poured a glass of water for the Qin family.
"Yes," Qin put his hand lightly on Pei Jing's chest, and said, "Brother Jing, you were in a foreign land back then, and you almost collapsed, if you didn't get the help of that kind person, I'm afraid you wouldn't be today." β
Pei Jing's eyes suddenly became a little gloomy, patted her hand, thought for a moment, and asked casually: "Then Zhao Hui's hometown has no other relatives?" β
"I don't know, or you can help me inquire, her father's surname is Zhao, and the old man is said to be a good person back then, and he will be called 'Zhao Shanren' wherever he goes."
With a "snap", the quilt in Pei Jing's hand fell on the bed threshold and shattered into several petals on the ground.
"Brother Jing," Qin Shi hurriedly got up in shock, and saw Pei Jing's eyes red, his lips trembled, and he almost wanted to cry.
ββββββββββ
Zhao Hui watched Yu Shu walking around the house, with words in his mouth, like losing his soul, for a moment, he was worried, and he didn't see her react after shouting a few words, and unconsciously amplified the volume:
"Xiaoyu!"
Yu Shu came back to his senses, turned his head and saw Zhao Hui's sad face, and hurriedly walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Zhao Hui grabbed her hand: "What's wrong with you just now, don't scare me, I can't think of a way, and don't worry about my brain." β
Yu Shu shook his head, pursed his lips, and said, "I think there is a way to save He Lang." β
Zhao Hui was first overjoyed, and then doubted: "What kind of method, you say." β
"I'm not sure if this will work, I'll have to ask someone who knows the law again, alas," Yu Shu scratched her hair in annoyance, she knew in her heart, but her manpower was meager:
"I can't do this alone, if Mr. Pei is willing to help me-"
"What if I would help you?"
A human voice sounded outside the door, Yu Shu and Zhao Hui were startled, turned their heads, and saw a figure outside the door, Yu Shu hurriedly got up and walked to the door, opened the door halfway, and saw Pei Jing standing outside the door.
"Mr. Pei?"
Pei Jing looked at her, stood outside the door, and asked the people in the room: "Miss Zhao, can you tell me that you are ordering the honor." β
Yu Shu felt strange in his heart and felt that something was wrong.
Zhao Hui heard Pei Jing's voice in the house, paused, and replied: "My father's death was named Renhe, Zhao Renhe. β
Pei Jing closed his eyes and took a breath before he opened them, and Yu Shu was shocked to see that there were tears in his eyes:
"Mr. Pei, what are you?"
Pei Jing ignored her and said directly to the door:
"I am also a merchant family from the family, at the age of 20 I was elected to be an arithmetic, when I was young, my eyes were above the top, I felt that I was talented, so I left my hometown in my father's illness, and went to the capital to refer to the Great Yan Test, how to think that the three moves were not successful, the name fell to Sun Shan, and I bought drunk with wine all day long, and when I lingered in the capital, I suddenly received bad news from home, and my father died of illness. I hurried to my hometown, but on the way I was confronted by bandits, and the scholar's guards were all killed, but I fell into the grass on the side of the road, because I was rescued by a passer-by, and took home to recuperate and survive. β
"I was in a mess during that time, almost wanted to commit suicide, were persuaded by him, several times to explain, left me in his restaurant to do things, teach me business, three months later, I finally changed my mind, farewell to him and went home, I kept filial piety at home for three years, hard work, filial piety expired, I drove to visit the benefactor of the year, in order to repay, I don't want people to go to the empty building, I heard that the left neighbor said that the benefactor died of illness a year ago, leaving the only daughter to sell the family property to marry, I was sad, so I took a handful of soil on his grave and brought it back, worship every year, never thought - the orphan of the benefactor, It will be reduced to this day. In vain, I burn incense every year to comfort me, I don't know how much he will be so bitter to see his daughter fall into the field today. β
Speaking of the worst, Pei Jing was already in tears, and he was so rich that he couldn't cry.
Zhao Hui in the house thought of her deceased father, and also cried bitterly,
Yu Shu listened to this old relationship in the audit, and had mixed feelings, Zhao Hui's parents are also people who do good deeds and accumulate virtues, why didn't they have a good end, one died early, and the other met someone unladylike, this kindness has a good reward, is it a lie?
The two of them were crying in and out of the house, Yu Shu did not persuade her, she could see that Pei Jing was a bloody man, otherwise he would have swallowed this past back into his stomach, and now that he said it, he would definitely not stand idly by and watch the affairs of Zhao Hui and He Langzhong.
Sure enough, Pei Jing shed a burst of tears, inhaled, his face turned grim, and he said to the house:
"You can live with me with peace of mind, in the past, I Pei will help you get justice no matter what!"
