Chapter 17: Disaster from the Sky

The door of Du's house was pushed open, and a bunch of servants with knives rushed in.

"Where is the suspect Su Zhiyu?!" The leader of the poor master showed the water and fire stick in his hand and hit the ground hard.

"Poor master, what are you ......doing today?" the housekeeper hurriedly greeted him, with a smile on his face.

The leader directly pushed him aside: "The county government received a report from the bitter master, saying that your Du family is hiding fugitives. Perform official duties under the next, gossip is not necessary, and quickly hand over Su Zhiyu! ”

Without waiting for everyone to distinguish, a group of servants forced the general viciously, and the housekeeper saw that the situation was not good, and the same family members made a look, and a group of domestic servants and the nursing home immediately greeted them.

"Do you want to disobey? If you harbor fugitives, if you can take the initiative to hand them over, you can still redeem your merits, if you insist on refusing, you dyeing workshop...... Hum. ”

Although the wood dyeing workshop is a private workshop, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and if a workshop owner is really implicated, the dyeing workshop will also be banned.

"If you have something to say, I'll go with you."

couldn't bear to see Du Ruonan in a dilemma, Su Zhiyu jumped out by himself. The young man looked calm, and he was still a Luotuo who didn't care about anything.

"Whether I am a fugitive or not, and what kind of origin I have, you will find out at a glance. This poor master, you start, let's go? ”

Looking at the young man with crooked eyebrows in front of him, the leader snorted coldly and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to detain him.

Su Zhiyu's gaze swept over Du Ruonan, who was frowning, and comforted softly: "It's okay, wait for me to come back." ”

He swept over the stunned housekeepers, the dazed domestic servants, and the neighbors who were peeking out of the door, and greeted the sneaky old man Su Li from the cracks.

The young man's eyes showed a fierce light, and his eyes threatened: I, the son of the prime minister in your mouth, am going to go to prison and suffer, you are ordered to protect me, and you can do it yourself.

The young man turned around and left, his body straight, like an idle cloud and a wild crane.

Du Ruonan pursed her lips tightly, and thought quickly in her heart: What should I do?

He was afraid of implicating himself, so he took the initiative to "surrender", and his identity ......

The threshold that was stepped on by the servant introduced new visitors, and the shopkeeper of the cloth workshop walked in worriedly, went straight to Du Ruonan's side, and whispered in his ear: "Miss, the cloth workshop is surrounded by people, and they are nominally clamoring to return the goods, but I saw that the leader was a little familiar, and I vaguely remember seeing it next to the second master." ”

"Returns? What name do they use? ”

Du Liang troubled her, she was not surprised, it was just another wave of returns?

The batik technique Su Zhiyu has improved, and she has also tried it hundreds of times, and it is impossible to fade.

The shopkeeper had a sad face and hesitated: "They slandered you, Miss...... You are unmarried with ...... With that Su Gongzi...... Therefore, the cloth you handle is not clean, and a good person must not use it. ”

It's that rhetoric again! It's really three people who become tigers and rumors kill people!

"It's really lively on the street today," a familiar voice sounded, Du Liang deliberately lengthened his tone, and when everyone's eyes were fixed on him, he shook the folding fan and walked in slowly, "Now the streets and alleys are talking about our Du family, niece, your actions are really impressive." ”

He "snapped" and retracted the folding fan, and respectfully asked the patriarch behind him: "Hey, patriarch, be careful of your step." ”

The patriarch walked with his head down, his face gloomy, and he didn't even look at Du Ruonan.

Du Liang waited for the elders to take their seats, and then scolded Du Ruonan angrily: "You are really my eldest brother's good daughter!" A young water-based poplar! Raising men behind his back, and harboring fugitives, not only ruined the reputation of my Du family, but also smashed the Du family's signboard! ”

"Do you know that the capital has summoned them, and now there are gangsters in various places, but anyone who takes in the bandits and refuses to report them will be convicted according to the criminal law! As the owner of the workshop, you are not in the room, your personal morality is damaged, and you insist on going your own way and taking in key criminals, do you want to implicate the cloth workshop and harm the whole family? ”

"Second uncle, you keep saying that I have an affair with Su Zhiyu, do you have any evidence? Moreover, what evidence did you rely on to determine that Su Zhiyu was a fugitive wanted by the imperial court? ”

Du Ruonan shot back loudly, her voice was clear, her eyes were bright: "Now that the government is still verifying, you have no evidence and no certificate, you convict me with empty words and white teeth, and you are still publicizing and making a big noise, what kind of thoughts do you have?" For the sake of my own selfishness, it is not me who affects the dyeing workshop and the whole family, but the second uncle! ”

"Listen, what a powerful girl with a good tongue," Du Liang laughed angrily, pointed at Du Ruonan with a fan, and looked at the patriarch, "You love and pity her when she is still young, and you take care of her everywhere, but you also saw it today." I saw how everyone outside was laughing at our Du family, and how this girl refused to admit her guilt, and the dead duck had a hard mouth. ”

"Patriarch, now that she and Su Zhiyu are fornicating, everyone in the streets and alleys knows about it; The two have a private meeting late at night and are in the same room, whether it is a dyeing workshop or a Du house, it is obvious to all, where is the groundless! ”

"Especially the one for harboring! That will cause disaster to the whole clan, patriarch, if we don't discipline Du Ruonan again, hundreds of lives of our entire clan will be killed, I'm afraid it's going to be a big disaster! ”

"Okay, Du Liang, don't be alarmist." The patriarch's expression was grim.

Du Ruonan grabbed the gap and quickly explained to the housekeeper: "Su Zhiyu's matter, I have to ask you to bother a lot and deal with it up and down." ”

Her voice was intertwined with the patriarch's words.

"I'm sorry if you give Su Zhiyu a word, I will definitely save him."

"Su Zhiyu's identity is still being verified, and there is indeed no evidence for the two of you; But Du Shi and the dyeing workshop are indeed under attack because of you. ”

"Before the government finds out the matter, Ruonan, you should reflect at home for a few days."
