Chapter 108 takes a long-term view

(The leader of the alliance has added more, congratulations on the birth of the first alliance leader - Xia Qin)

Zhao Hui was lonely, many years ago she was attacked by her husband's family to encroach on the family property, many years later she was seriously injured by her sister-in-law on the street, almost died, and recently got into a lawsuit.

Yu Shu helped Zhao Hui wash up, added a piece of clothing, and helped her move from the back room to the outside of the living room, where Pei Jing and the Qin family were there.

"Poor God, girl, you've suffered all these years." With tears in her eyes, Qin stepped forward to hold Zhao Hui and sit beside her, different from the previous politeness, this time it was really close and really pitiful, she was Pei Jing's wife for more than 20 years, and she empathized with Pei Jing's mood at the moment.

Zhao Hui shook her head, turned her head to look at Jing, and said in a dumb voice: "Now that Mr. Pei mentions it, I have a little memory, when my father died, I was still young, and I heard my father mention an old man a few times, saying that he had not heard of letters for half a year, but he was afraid that something would happen, and he also took the letters sent to me in the past, so that I had time to inquire, and then my father died, I was sad, and I forgot about it, and those letters were afraid that they were buried with the relics, and I thought that my father read it at that time, it was Mr. Pei." ”

"It must be me, there is no doubt about me, when I returned to my hometown, I sent someone to send a letter of peace to Uncle Zhao, and then there was half a year because I was busy with the family business, so I broke the letter, and then the matter was dealt with, I went in person, which thought-" I think that people have become ancient, Pei Jing smiled bitterly, and helped his eyebrows, "Uncle Zhao was still thinking that I was safe at that time, I was really ashamed." ”

The scene was gloomy for a while, Pei Jing cleaned up his mood, and said to Zhao Hui: "Don't call me Mr. Pei, in terms of age, I am too old for you, if you don't like it, I am willing to accept you as a righteous sister, and take care of you for the old man in the future, okay?" ”

Zhao Hui was stunned and looked at Yu Shu, she was now the time when the six gods had no master, and she still relied more on Yu Shu who shared her weal and woe than Pei Jing, who knew each other by chance.

"Mr. Pei, don't be in a hurry beforehand," Yu Shu said instead of Zhao Hui, "Right now, He Langzhong is still in prison, and the Dou family is at large, and they are still bent on killing Aunt Hui, so we have to find a way to deal with them as soon as possible." ”

Pei Jing nodded and said, "He Langzhong must be saved, I will go to Dou's house now and ask them to withdraw the complaint." ”

Seeing that Pei Jing was so straightforward, Yu Shu was puzzled: "Do you have a way for them not to sue Lang Zhong?" ”

Pei Jing sneered, "That Dou family is just a third-rate merchant, relying on the ancestral industry to support until now, that Dou Hong is not a material for doing business, if they don't know each other, I will cut off his family's business!" ”

Seeing this, Yu Shu was taken aback, Pei Jing has always been humble in treating people, but he didn't expect to have such a strong attitude, it seems that he has to stand up for Zhao Hui.

"Mr. Pei and slow down," Yu Shu said, "With all due respect, if you do this, you can save He Langzhong, but there are endless troubles, not to mention who is right and who is wrong, this matter will spread in the future, Mr. will inevitably fall into the name of domineering, not to mention, the Dou family has the Ji family behind them, if it is said that the Ji family will come out for them, it is not to make branches, maybe they will bite back, in my opinion, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run." ”

She said this at the beginning, Pei Jing didn't understand, but he was strong in his liver before, and he didn't think too much about it, he just wanted to vent his anger for Zhao Hui, and after Yu Shu poured down such a basin of cold water, he suddenly calmed down a little.

sighed to Yu Shu at the moment: "You young man, you are calmer than me." ”

Yu Shu smiled slightly, "I'm not calm, I don't want to cheapen that group of shameless people, if you want me to say, I have to do it to the end, seek justice for Aunt Hui in a dignified manner, and punish those wicked people." ”

Pei Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that you already have a plan?" ”

"I don't dare to make a plan for the time being, I still need to discuss it with my husband before I dare to make a plan." Yu Shu's eyes flashed, and she didn't say anything because she didn't know much about the laws of ancient society, so it was not good for her to speculate alone.

Pei Jing nodded: "You talk about it first." ”

Yu Shu looked at Zhao Hui Qin, under the table, his fingers were scratched on his knees, and he muttered for a moment before he slowly spoke:

"If they sue us, can't we sue them? That's what I think."

***

An hour later, Pei Jing and Qin returned to the room, Pei Jing was thinking about the conversation between Fang Cai and Yu Shu all the way, and after sitting down, he found that Qin's face was wrong, and asked with concern:

"Madame, what's the matter?"

Qin Shi hesitated, his face changed back and forth, and he hesitated to speak: "Brother Jing, I look at Ah Shu, this child, is his heart too big." ”

Pei Jing's eyelids twitched, and he chuckled: "Madame, why do you say this, I see that she is very good, affectionate, righteous, brave and strategic, her method is not very good, much smarter than me going directly to the Dou family, draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, encircle Wei to save Zhao, tsk, when I was as old as her, I didn't have her kind of scheming." ”

Hearing that Pei Jing was still in the mood to praise, the Qin family hurriedly said: "But her method is not only aimed at the Dou family, but even the Ji family has been calculated in it, if it really happens, how can the Ji family give up with her?" ”

"That's why I want to help in secret." Pei Jing took Qin's hand and said softly, "Ah Shu, a little girl, I inherit the grace of Zhao Hui for a few meals, and I still know that the spring of Lu Dao reciprocates, I received the great favor of Zhao Gong back then, and now I encounter his descendants, that is, the sky has eyes, if you can't help, isn't it better to be a child?" ”

"Where did I say that I don't want you to help them," Qin said angrily, "I'm not worried about you, it's just that if you don't like to listen to me, you won't talk about it, if you want to do it, I can still stop you." ”

"Madame understands me," Pei Jing patted her hand, got up and said, "Madame will rest first, I'll change my clothes and go out with Ah Shu." ”

***

At dusk, Yu Shu and Pei Jing sat in a carriage and arrived at the entrance of Changmenpu Street, and the two of them got off the carriage and looked left and right. This trip, Yu Shu and Pei Jing came out to find the housekeeper who sent Zhao Hui to Yiyang City back then.

Pei Jing asked, "Is it here?" ”

Yu Shu said: "Aunt Hui said that he opened a bookstore on this street, surnamed Huang Mingzhou, let's look for it as a family." ”

"Let's go."

There are a lot of bookstores on this street, the two of them found the west of the street from the east of the street, and they searched for the past one by one, and came to the door to ask, but they couldn't ask for it, the surname Huang was there, but it was not the one they were looking for, the sky was getting dark, just as Yu Shu wondered if he had heard the wrong place, Pei Jing pointed to the opposite side of the road and said:

"There's another one there, we've been."

Yu Shu turned her head and saw the bookstore on the other side of the road, she was stunned, Pei Jing had already strode across the street into the store, she hurriedly followed, and as soon as she entered the store, she saw the old man in the flower armor who was sitting behind the counter reading a book.

The heart said that it was not so coincidental, so I heard Pei Jing ask:

"This old man, dare to ask your honorable surname?"

The old man raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Pei Jing, turned his head, and saw Yu Shu at the door, and suddenly became surprised: "Little girl, why did you come here after these days, I left you several literacy books, waiting for you to come and get it." ”

Pei Jing looked at Yu Shu suspiciously, Yu Shu smiled at the old man, and said to Pei Jing: "When I had no long things, this old shopkeeper gave me a book on credit. ”

The old shopkeeper listened to them, knew that the two knew each other, and was puzzled: "Who are you?" ”

"We want to inquire about individuals," Yu Shu paused and asked directly, "Uncle, is your surname Huang?" ”

"Didn't I tell you?" The old shopkeeper said, "My surname is Huang." ”

Yu Shu and Pei Jing glanced at each other, and the latter asked again: "Shopkeeper Huang, did you work as a steward in a merchant surnamed Zhao in Yanzhou in the early years?" ”

The old shopkeeper put down the book in his hand, looked at the two of them back and forth, and nodded hesitantly, "That's right." ”

Yu Shu almost wanted to laugh, there was such a coincidence in this world, everyone rushed together.

found Huang Zhou, Pei Jing and Yu Shu explained their intentions, Huang was very willing to testify for Zhao Hui, and they didn't need to say more, so they agreed, and there was a surprise that he still had a dowry list that Zhao Hui sent to Dou's family back then.

"Miss is a person with a hard life, when the old man let go, he told me to send her to Dou's house, I don't want it to be a wolf cave, alas, I am incompetent, I can't protect Miss, so that she was wronged by prison, at that time I was afraid, I couldn't stand up for Miss, Miss got out of prison, and I didn't know where to go, I didn't want to see me, who knew that she was making a living under my nose, and she ended up in this step. All these years have passed, I have never been able to let go, and now I will walk in rotten wood, you are willing to advocate for Miss, my old bones, why don't you dare. ”

Huang Zhou was very ashamed when he mentioned the events of the year, Yu Shu comforted him a few words, asked him some old things, went home with him to get the dowry list, and left with Pei Jing.

On the way, Pei Jing brought it up and asked Yu Shu if he wanted to go to the prison to explore He Fangzhi, but she shook her head and refused:

"So as not to startle the snake, it's better not to go first, Mr. Pei must not come out in your name, He Langzhong suffered in prison, we will find him back in the future."

"It's okay, I wronged He Langzhong first," Pei Jing saw Yu Shu's assertive appearance, unconsciously ignored her age, and asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

Yu Shu said: "Sir, tell me about the rules in the court, so that I don't make a mistake then." ”

Pei Jing frowned, "You, you really want to replace Hui Niang to beat the drum and voice grievances?" It must be known that if you go to court like this, you have to take a board before you can hand it over. ”

Yu Shu nodded, his expression unchanged, "Ma County Ling and the Ji family are a family, if we follow the normal regulations and hand over the petition first and then open the court, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not prepare in advance and collude in private." Mr. has also said before, beating the drum and shouting grievances, the officials will go to court, and the trial will start in the court, and if we want to sue, we will sue them for being caught off guard. ”

Pei Jing was right, Yu Shu's eyes flashed the most ruthless, his heart jumped, he always felt that he couldn't grasp something, but he couldn't catch the head and tail, seeing that she had made up her mind, she knew that it was useless to persuade again, so she said:

"Then you have to hide it from Huiniang first, otherwise if she knows, how can you be allowed to accept it for her, alas, the board is not easy to bear."

Yu Shu smiled indistinctly, she had been whipped, so she was afraid of a few strokes of the board.
