Chapter 154: Dong Yuzhen is wronged
"Shall we be okay if we fight the official errand?" Although Lin Zhu felt that they should really fight, he was worried about more than a dozen people.
"It's okay, these people are just pawns, not enough to worry about." Zhang Manyun comforted her on the side, "It's only because they don't have long eyes, and they don't even know who they can't mess with." After all, Zhang Manyun has been in the capital for many years, so he naturally knows how strict and clear the Dao is in this privileged social hierarchy.
During this time at Lin Zhu's house, Zhang Manyun often told her some things about the capital in order to make friends with Lin Zhu, and she felt that Lin Zhu would come to the capital one day, so she told her some personnel in the capital in detail. For this, Lin Zhu is also very grateful. Although Chang's mother also knows a little more, she is not as intuitive and comprehensive as Zhang Manyun.
Although Xing Dali and the others were beaten very badly, they did not suffer much later, because they also came by carriage and happened to sit back. Of course, it was Dr. Zhang's guards who escorted him back. Also accompanied by Dr. Zhang, Lu Mingtao, Lin Zhu, Chang Shi, Chang Mama and Chang Tianlei. Others stayed at home.
When he arrived at the county office of Song County, Dr. Zhang asked the guards to beat the drums, accusing Xing Dali and others of pretending to be officials to enter the house and commit murder, causing harm to the court and looting property. As soon as these charges came out, Xing Dali's faces were as frightened as earth, and they kowtowed again and again and shouted injustice, "Adult, the little one is wronged." He also poked out the things that were instructed by Steward Li.
Dong Jisheng, the magistrate of the county, was angry by the scene in front of him, and his subordinates were actually arrested as gangsters and sued into the government, which was a grand slap in the face, and Xing Dali's appearance. Obviously beaten up. And he secretly hates them, even if he is arrested, he has to implicate others to make things more complicated.
"Who in the hall dares to beat up the officials, are you guilty?" Dong Jisheng asked in a deep voice. No matter how wrong Xing Dali and the others are, they must first be convicted of beating officials and contempt for the government.
At this time, Zhou Dalang, who was on the side, suddenly found Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen in the crowd, and his face suddenly changed, could it be that Xing Dali and the others went to her house to find trouble? But at this time, he didn't have much to say, so he could only give the master a look.
Master looked out knowingly. I was also taken aback. Hurriedly walked to Dong Jixing's side and whispered a few words to him. Dong Jisheng's eyes flashed, and his face changed slightly, but after a while, he regained his composure.
Doctor Zhang didn't care about Dong Jisheng's face, and walked straight to the center of the court. Look up and ask. "These burglars are the arresters of the county? The old man thought that they were just some bold people who pretended to be officials. Otherwise, how could they smuggle into people's houses and loot people's property? Moreover, it is shameless to frame the court for a lawsuit. Could it be that the catchers under the lord of the county are all such people? ”
After Dong Jisheng knew the identity of Doctor Zhang, he couldn't help but be angry with a few brainless subordinates. At this time, I finally didn't dare to buckle my hat on them anymore, and I couldn't help but be in a dilemma.
Since the Li family is involved. Dong Jisheng sent someone to call Steward Li, but Steward Li didn't admit it at all, Xing Dali and the others didn't know that Steward Li had gone to Lin Zhu's house, so they could only carry this black cauldron unfortunately. In the end, he was robbed of his errand, hit 60 boards again, and sentenced to three months of hard labor before it was over.
In the face of such a result, although Lin Zhu and the others were not very satisfied, there was no evidence that Steward Li had bought them into committing the murder, and only the words of Xing Dali and a few others would not convict Steward Li, but would make him falsely accuse. So Steward Li retreated in the secret hatred of Lin Zhu and others.
Dong Jisheng returned to the back office full of anger, and the grievances that people in the lobby couldn't even speak, which really made him too depressed. remembered the scene he saw in the lobby again, so he called Dong Yuzhen over.
At this time, Dong Yuzhen was in Mrs. Lin's room, telling her what had just happened, especially mentioning the identity of Dr. Zhang and Lu Mingtao.
At this time, someone came to report that the county magistrate asked the eldest lady to go to the study, and Mrs. Lin also had something to say to him, so she followed along.
walked to the door of the study, and before Mrs. Lin could speak, an angry roar came from inside, "Let that unfilial girl kneel at the door, no one can let her get up without my order!" ”
This sentence made Dong Yuzhen's face pale with fright, and it also made Mrs. Lin's face change greatly, she patted Dong Yuzhen's hand comfortingly, pushed the door and went inside. "Who let you in?" Dong Jisheng shouted without looking back.
"The concubine wants to ask the master, what crime did the eldest lady commit in the end, so that the master was so angry that she let her kneel at the door of the study in front of the whole house?" The more Mrs. Lin spoke, the more angry she became, and her tone gradually became stiff.
"Why are you here?" When Dong Jisheng heard Mrs. Lin's voice, he immediately turned around, and under her gaze, Dong Jisheng felt that he was not so reasonable. However, he immediately remembered the scene in the lobby just now, and suddenly became resentful towards Mrs. Lin. "It's all a good daughter you taught! Hum! ”
"Master's words, why can't the concubine understand? What the hell is going on? Mrs. Lin was already angry in her heart at this time, but she still suppressed her anger, and she always had to figure out why Dong Jisheng was so angry before she could find a way to intercede with Dong Yuzhen.
"Ask her, if it weren't for the country girl she knew named Lin Zhu, how could I be so embarrassed in court today." Dong Jisheng sprinkled all the anger he received in the court on Dong Yuzhen's body.
However, Dong Yuzhen, who was standing outside and heard this, was very aggrieved, covered her face and ran back. Mrs. Lin also heard the movement outside the door, and originally wanted to remind Dong Jisheng of her words, but she buried it in her heart and didn't say anything, she was simply disappointed in Dong Jisheng.
"Master thinks that this incident was deliberately provoked by Lin Zhu?" Mrs. Lin asked with a solemn face.
"Who else but her. Hmph, isn't she just a country girl? Dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and after these people leave, I will let her know how powerful I am. Dong Jisheng said hatefully. Because a little girl from the countryside was disgraced in public, it is conceivable how deep the resentment in his heart is.
"And you, from now on, just take care of your daughter, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the back house." Dong Jisheng suddenly turned the finger at Mrs. Lin, and now he is also very dissatisfied with Mrs. Lin, there has been no news from the Lin family in the capital, which must be the reason why she said not to speak in the Lin family. is not as good as Liu's mother's family, who has funded him a lot in money.
Mrs. Lin listened to his words, and her face did not change, as if she had known that Lu Dao would have such a result, she just looked at Dong Jisheng coldly and nodded yes. Just as she wanted to turn around and leave, Dong Jisheng stopped her again, "Wait." ”
"What else is the matter, sir?" Mrs. Lin turned around and asked expressionlessly.
"From today onwards, Yuzhen will be grounded in her room, and she will not be allowed to step out of the door without my order." Dong Jisheng's voice also didn't have too much emotion.
Mrs. Lin looked at him deeply, "The concubine knows what to do." "I gave a blessing and went out.
Dong Jisheng suddenly felt that Mrs. Lin's eyes were full of indifference, and he felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't do anything to her, Dong Jisheng had never had much affection for Mrs. Lin, and he didn't even want to see the children she gave birth to, so the relationship between the two was only superficially peaceful. Now that Dong Jisheng has banned Dong Yuzhenzu for no reason, Mrs. Lin hates it so much in her heart, although she is helpless, she has given up her plan to plan for Dong Jisheng.
Dong Yuzhen returned to her room, lying on the bed and crying aggrievedly, Shui Tao couldn't persuade her on the side, but fortunately, Mrs. Lin came over after a while.
"Zhen'er, don't cry, beware of your eyes crying." Mrs. Lin gently patted her on the back. "Mother." Dong Yuzhen sat up and threw herself into Mrs. Lin's arms.
"Okay, my mother knows that my good daughter has been wronged." Although Mrs. Lin resented Dong Jisheng in her heart, she was still kind and pleasant when she faced Dong Yuzhen. "Zhen'er, don't worry about these things, one day my mother will seek justice for you."
"Mother, father, he ......" Dong Yuzhen couldn't say anything when she said it, how could she say that her father was too much, and her own etiquette made her unable to speak.
"My mother knew that it was my mother who made you feel wronged." Mrs. Lin helped her up and sat down in a chair. "No, mother." Dong Yuzhen shook her head and whispered, "Dad has always disliked his daughter, and his daughter knows the truth." But he punished his daughter today without asking, and her daughter couldn't figure it out. ”
"Zhen'er, don't worry, my mother will make him regret it in the future." Mrs. Lin said coldly. actually made his daughter so sad. Maybe it won't be long before he regrets it. Today's people are obviously not easy to get along with, but poor Dong Jisheng can't see it, and it is destined that his future career will not be smooth sailing.
"Mother?" Dong Yuzhen didn't understand her words.
"Don't worry, Zhen'er, my mother won't do anything to your father." Mrs. Lin was afraid that Dong Yuzhen would think too much, so she quickly appeased her.
"Mother, do you think Sister Xiaozhu will those people around her hate Daddy?" Seeing her daughter so sad and worried about that person, Mrs. Lin hated Dong Jisheng even more, such a sensible and caring daughter didn't know how to cherish it, and she deserved to be unlucky in the future.
"Don't worry, for your sake, those people won't be too much." Mrs. Lin can be sure in her heart that the Li family is miserable this time, of course, Dong Jisheng will not feel good either, half of the money he used to do activities in Lu Shang is provided by the Li family, if something goes wrong with the Li family, then Dong Jisheng will definitely be affected, and if he continues to insist on continuing to help the Li family, maybe even his official position will be affected.
