603 beaten
"Are you sure you made a mistake?" In the study, Liang Shoushan had a gloomy face, but he didn't have the good temper he had with his children.
The bolt was whipped fifty times, and he was uncomfortable standing for a long time. On this cold day, the temperature in the study was not high, but he had a thin layer of sweat on his aching forehead.
Standing there awkwardly, the bolt hurriedly said respectfully: "There must be nothing wrong, I have visited it carefully a few times, and someone has even seen that person go to Hao's house." ”
Liang Shoushan nodded and didn't speak for a long time.
The bolt didn't know what he was thinking, so he just stood respectfully.
Liang Shoushan suddenly raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "Have you been to the torture hall?" ”
The bolt nodded, and said pitifully: "Brother Kang Zi is in charge of the torture hall, but he is really ruthless, and he has been whipped fifty lashes, and the blood is flowing, my lord, you haven't seen it, and you can't make up for it no matter how much you eat." He peeked in, and the adults seemed to be quite amiable today.
"I didn't see you lose weight when I bleed." Liang Shoushan scolded with a smile, "Okay, it's okay to be poor, go back and rest quickly, you don't need to do this." He threw over a silver ingot, "It's good, take it to the doctor." ”
The bolt hurriedly agreed, and took the silver with a smile. I'm afraid that there will be no ten taels, and sure enough, the adult should be punished, and it is still very good for him. The internal guard has his own doctor, where can he spend money to see a doctor outside, these ten taels of silver will not let his family have a good year.
Liang Shoushan sat alone in the study for a long time, and it was only after Liang Tiantian came over to ask him to eat that he had a little movement.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Liang Tiantian looked at him with a bad face and a worried face.
"Look at this." Liang Shoushan had already thought about it. I can't hide this from my children, at least not from my daughter.
"The Hao family turned out to be Wenxuan's people." Liang Tiantian was stunned, and he was stupid when he saw the information. muttered: "It turns out that the old man next to Wen Xuan is surnamed Hao. She was referring to the old servant.
Liang Shoushan frowned. That's where he finds it tricky.
If the person is Ouyang Wenxuan's person, no matter whether the Hao family did this on purpose or not, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do. On Ouyang Wenxuan's side, Liang Shoushan thought that he would not be wrong.
At this time, I listened to Liang Tiantian and said, "Wenxuan will definitely not harm our family." "Even if it's harmful, it won't use such a low-level method. Besides, that thing was given by Ouyang Wenxuan himself, although he didn't know Liang Shoushan's identity, it seemed to be against the rules. But what if he sends something as a little marquis, even if it is placed by ordinary people? It's not a big deal for this lawsuit to reach the royal front. After all, the official kiln is also divided into levels.
"I don't think so. But this matter ......" Liang Shoushan hesitated, should he pursue it?
Liang Tiantian also frowned, "Dad." If you don't have to worry about this, leave it to me. Ouyang Wenxuan's side, she believed. As for the Hao family...... She had a gut feeling that it should have nothing to do with them.
"Okay." Although Liang Shoushan felt that it was not good to throw things to his daughter. can think of the relationship between their family and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and this matter is only good for the girl to come forward.
Liang Tiantian didn't care about eating when he returned to the house, so he hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it to Fucheng quickly. Send it at this time, and you can arrive tomorrow morning after traveling overnight.
Liang Tiantian waited here for a day, and the old servant came to the door the next evening. Looking at him, he obviously just got off the horse.
The old servant came to see Liang Tiantian when he entered the door, and knelt down when he saw her. "The old slave will give the girl an explanation for this matter. The old slave went to Hao's house. The girl didn't feel at ease, so she sent someone with me. "He didn't go to Hao's house as soon as possible, he was determined to deal with this matter. If it was really done by the Hao family. He's just afraid that he won't be soft.
Thinking that this morning the master saw Xin'er's angry wound, the old servant blamed himself. It was he who didn't take a good look at his family and affected his master. If the girl of the Liang family has a dislike with her master because of this incident, it will not be good.
Liang Tiantian had a calm face, "You get up quickly, what are you doing?" "Brother Liang Mancang was also there, busy helping people up. Liang Tiantian said: "I didn't doubt that you were old, let alone Wenxuan. To be honest, most of us still suspect that the Cao family did it. But whether it is the Cao family or the Hao family, it has something to do with the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, I can't do it, thinking about the relationship between the prince and our family, it is better to talk about the matter than to be suspicious of each other. ”
Her use of "Wenxuan" in the previous title made the old servant breathe a sigh of relief, but the latter title used "Shizi", and the old servant immediately understood. This is a clear distinction between public and private. Of course, he also understood what Liang Tiantian meant.
"If it's convenient for the two young masters, you might as well come with me." The old servant said respectfully. He also thought that his sons and nephews would not do such villain acts, but he didn't dare to pack tickets.
Liang Tiantian glanced at his two elder brothers.
Liang Mancang frowned slightly, as if he was a little hesitant.
Liang Manchu said with a big grin: "Just go, I don't believe that Hao Xiucai is the villain who sues the black behind his back, so I'll ask him face to face." Hearing this, Liang Mancang also nodded, "I don't believe it either." "This step is very good, and the full hoarding is not blindly reckless.
The group left Liang's house and went straight to Hao's house.
The Hao family also lived in Dongcheng in Lingshan County, and the carriage only walked a short distance to reach Hao's house.
The old servant dismounted, his face gloomy as water.
"Go, bring that kid Hao Wenxiu to the hall for me." He drove straight in, and the people in front of Hao's house were just stunned, and then they all got out of the way, and some people were busy with their luggage, "I've seen my uncle." ”
Hao Wenxiu's father is the son of the eldest servant, the eldest brother has passed away, and he has never started a family in his life, so he really regards this family as his own in-laws, but he doesn't want them to break into such a catastrophe. Since the Liang family suspects this matter, it must be that Hao Wenxiu did something wrong, and he didn't believe that Hao Wenxiu would tell him behind his back, so he only scolded him for being confused, and his careless actions made the villain take advantage of the loophole, and the harmful master of his own family was uncomfortable.
This matter cannot be forgiven lightly.
Hao Wenxiu's father is not at home, the county school is now on vacation, and the news that there is Enke in the imperial court next year has been released, and Hao Wenxiu is also preparing for the township test next year at home, so when he heard that the old servant was busy, he came to see the ceremony.
"Why is Uncle free to come?" Hao Wenxiu is very close to this uncle on weekdays, and people shouted happily before they entered the hall, but when they saw the people inside, they were stunned.
"Why are the two Liang brothers here?" He blinked, and when he saw his uncle's face sinking like water, he was even more puzzled. Uncle is the person next to the prince of Dingyuan, if there is no such relationship, their family is still a merchant doing small business in the countryside, how can it be possible to break into such a big family business in a few years, this qiē is all dependent on the uncle.
But the question is, how did the Liang family know their uncle?
Looking at the position where Liang Mancang's brother was sitting, he faintly let his uncle sit down, what's going on?
Classmates in the county school, the Liang Mancang brothers didn't dare to hold it up, so they hurriedly got up to return the salute. "Brother Hao." Liang Mancang smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry for today." He suddenly regretted it, in fact, he had been a little hesitant before, this trip should not have come. It's not for the side, after all, they are all students of the county school, and there is a scene today, how can we meet in the future.
But if you don't come, he is not reconciled. In the end, his house was almost raided, how awkward to think about it.
Hao Wenxiu couldn't figure out the situation, and just as he was about to say a few words, he heard his uncle snort coldly, "Kneel down for me!" ”
Hao Wenxiu didn't dare to slack off, even if he had doubts in his heart, he still knelt down upright, and said obediently: "Uncle, I don't know why I'm so angry?" If Wen Xiu is young and does something wrong, even if the uncle beats and scolds, don't be angry. "Uncle is also in his sixties, where does he dare to be stimulated. The Hao family's qiē depends on this one.
The old servant didn't appreciate it, "You're well-behaved." Then he snorted, "Come on, ask me for family law." ”
Hao Wenxiu's eyes widened and he looked around blankly.
"Uncle, I don't know what mistake Wenxiu made?" Today, my uncle suddenly visited with two county school classmates, and Hao Wenxiu was really confused.
"Since you don't know what mistakes you've made, let's fight until you understand." Someone sent rattan, and the old servant grabbed it, kicked Hao Wenxiu, and pointed to the spring stool, "Go up yourself." ”
Hao Wenxiu has been afraid of this uncle since he was a child, and there are not a few rattans that he has eaten under his hands since he was a child, where do he dare to disobey. But it's different today, the two classmates are here, if he is beaten with his pants ripped off, where will he put his face in the future.
"Uncle, where did Wenxiu make a mistake, and asked Uncle to show me the way." Otherwise, he will be punished like this, and he will not be convinced by his youth.
Liang Manchu frowned slightly, wanting to say something. Liang Mancang shook his head slightly, and he subconsciously stopped.
At this time, it is not easy for outsiders to interject at all.
The old servant did this today, on the one hand, he was angry, and he wanted to give an explanation to the master, and on the other hand, he also did it for the Liang family. Seeing that Hao Wenxiu was still not confused, he nodded secretly and said with a straight face: "The Liang family was investigated by the government the day before yesterday, and the county master said that someone had told the truth, and the Liang family used the official kiln privately...... After asking, it was said that you told the secret, and you said that you should not be punished. ”
At first, Hao Wenxiu opened his mouth wide in surprise, and he was stupid when he heard the latter sentence.
Private official kilns?
He suddenly thought of what he said at the Liang family that day, and he shuddered.
Liang Mancang's eyes shrank and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The old servant sighed in his heart, "It's really you!" The rattan slashed his head and covered his face, only to beat Hao Wenxiu and scream.
The old servant thought that his master was injured and still remembered this matter, where was he willing to spare him, and he pumped it viciously, regardless of his head or ass, "You bastard, the books have been read to the dog's stomach, and you dare to frame your classmates, who taught you the truth......"
Hao Wenxiu rolled on the ground in pain, screaming incessantly, wanting to defend a few words, but the rattan tightened up for a while, so that he didn't have a chance to open his mouth. He tried his best to endure not wanting to be embarrassed, and he couldn't help it even when he was born, and the whole person trembled in pain.
The pain was so hard that Hao Wenxiu only had time to shout, "Uncle spare my life!" (To be continued......)
PS: The Mancang brothers began to enter the society, why do I have a kind of reluctance? Could it be that this is the legendary hypocritical ⊙_⊙b Khan.
A new year and a new starting point, Mancang and Manhoard have grown up, girls, don't you want to count tickets as red envelopes?
Full warehouse, full hoard, thank you in advance
