Chapter 25: The Zhang Family Trial
"Are all the people here?" Zhang Chen asked the next person.
"Back to the lord, the elders in the clan and the people in the city have almost arrived, and the small ones are still following your orders, and they are making a big publicity, and almost all of them are rushing to see the excitement. However, there are still a few people in the city who have not arrived, and the small ones are estimated to have something to do out of the city. The subordinate lowered his head and replied in Zhang Chen's ear.
"Well done. Zhang Chen nodded
Seeing Xu Hong's family coming, Zhang Chen stood up, the hall and courtyard gradually became quiet, and everyone was waiting to see a good show.
Zhang Chen saluted everyone first, and then said: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, I have troubled you recently, and I still hope that you will make a notarization when I invite you to come this time." ”
Boss Li, who was sitting on the upper seat, immediately replied: "It is our blessing that Master Zhang invited us, if there is anything Master Zhang said, do you say it?"
"Yes!" everyone said in unison.
"So I'll say it below, in fact, everyone should know some news recently, our Zhang family is unfortunate and there are thieves. Speaking of this, Zhang Chen looked at Xu Hong intentionally or unintentionally, causing everyone to look towards Xu Hong.
"But I still want to give him a chance to explain, and this time I called everyone here to make a notarization, so as not to say that I am arbitrary and reckless. Zhang Chen continued.
"No matter what, we all believe in Master Zhang's judgment. It was still a few people in the audience who responded.
"That's good! Thanks to everyone here for admiring their faces, then I'm not afraid of the ugliness of the family, let's start! Take Bai Xiaojie!" said the last sentence, Zhang Chen mentioned Xuanqi, and said slowly, while slowly exerting force, the people in the whole courtyard were shocked by this sound, and a few of them didn't stand and sit firmly on the wall, and they fell directly from the wall, falling into the mud.
After a while, the two subordinates came back with Bai Xiaojie.
"What's going on, what's going on? Master, I've been on a night trip all night, and I've just come home to get ready for bed!" Bai Xiaojie protested dissatisfiedly as he walked.
"What's the situation? Why are there so many people?" As soon as he was brought into the courtyard of the Zhang family, Bai Xiaojie was also shocked when he saw so many people.
Xu Hong saw Bai Xiaojie arrive, and immediately shook his hand to say hello to him, Bai Xiaojie immediately made a gesture after seeing it, Xu Hong was stunned, he didn't understand, he felt that this was so much like a gesture to be relieved!
"Is this Bai Xiaojie?" asked Zhang Chen.
"Yes. Bai Xiaojie replied.
"The old man has a few words to ask you. Zhang Chen said slowly.
"Wait a minute!" Bai Xiaojie stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhang Chen's questioning.
"What's wrong, what's the matter with you?" Zhang Chen frowned.
"People have three urgency, I was called directly in the morning, I don't have any convenience, I want to go out to explain it first. Bai Xiaojie said anxiously.
"There is a lot of and urine on the lazy donkey, go quickly!" Zhang Chen waved his hand and asked a subordinate to take him to the latrine.
There was laughter from the crowd watching, and the bosses sitting in the inner room frowned, shaking their heads and pointing at Bai Xiaojie's figure and saying something, Xu Hong covered his face, saying in his heart that this was really urgent.
After a long time, everyone was impatient to wait, and Bai Xiaojie came back with a swagger.
"The old man has a few words to ask you. Zhang Chen continued to talk.
"Wait a minute!" Bai Xiaojie stretched out his hand again to interrupt Zhang Chen's speech.
"What's the matter with you?!" Zhang Chen was a little angry, and his brows couldn't help frowning again.
"I was pulled out early in the morning, and I haven't eaten yet, and your Zhang family won't entertain me, it's too unreasonable. Bai Xiaojie said confidently.
Zhang Chen impatiently waved his hand again, and one of his subordinates went down to serve two steamed buns, and Bai Xiaojie just squatted on the ground and ate it.
The crowd watching the play below began to discuss, the Zhang family was very lively, Xu Hong looked at Bai Xiaojie with interest, and didn't know what the hell he was going to do.
After a while, Bai Xiaojie finished eating, and before he could speak this time, Zhang Chen asked his subordinates to bring him a bowl of water.
The subordinate gave the water to Bai Xiaojie, and Bai Xiaojie drank it with a bang, and he didn't see it at all.
Zhang Chen waited for Bai Xiaojie to finish drinking the water, then looked at Bai Xiaojie first, waited for a while, and saw that Bai Xiaojie stopped talking before continuing.
"The old man called you today to ask you a few words......
"Wait a minute!" Bai Xiaojie interrupted Zhang Chen's speech again.
"What are you going to do!" Zhang Chen was really angry this time, and as soon as his hand was forced, the armrest on the chair was directly crushed.
Boss Li of the grain store also patted the armrest of the chair and said, "Bai Xiaojie, don't go too far!
"Master Zhang, don't be angry, look, didn't you come to me to help you, forget it on weekdays, so many villagers are here today, don't you get me a seat? So many people are watching, I'm afraid that everyone will say that you are neglecting the guests, and I am also good for you!" Bai Xiaojie looked very sincere, and then looked at the blind dates behind him, "Do you say it!"
"Yes!" "Yes!" "Makes sense!" "It's a lot of things to do with your surname Bai!" "Why don't you hurry up and take a seat?" ......
The crowd in the courtyard was boiling, some in favor and some against, and it became a pot of porridge for a while.
"Bestow a seat. Zhang Chen cheered up his luck and shouted, and several more people fell off the wall.
"Can you talk now?" Zhang Chen said, his eyes staring at Bai Xiaojie.
"Yes, yes, it's just that Master Zhang, you are really furious and scared when you stare at me like this. Bai Xiaojie replied.
"You've been with Xu Hong for the past two days? ”
Bai Xiaojie also started from going to Sword Wind City to gamble in order to raise money, and he didn't talk about his cheating and the intersection with Jiang Fengting in the middle, and what he said was similar to what Xu Hong said yesterday.
After Bai Xiaojie finished speaking, Zhang Chen was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and did not draw a conclusion.
At this time, Boss Li of the grain village in the house spoke: "Even if Xu Hong didn't flee in the past two days, he went to the Shenjian Temple to ask for a wish, but this can't explain the loss of property, not to mention using ten taels of silver to win a hundred taels of money, let's talk about it, isn't it too absurd?"
"That makes sense. Zhang Chen nodded in agreement.
"yes, how could such a fluke happen?"
"Yes, yes, even if you make up a temporary reason, you can't be so perfunctory!"
The people in the house spoke one after another, saying that Bai Xiaojie's words were too suspicious, or they simply didn't believe what Bai Xiaojie said, and Xu Hong argued loudly and didn't listen.
Xu Hong was very anxious, indeed, if he didn't talk about cheating in the casino, no one would believe it if he won a hundred taels of silver with ten taels of silver, but what he said was undoubtedly pushing Bai Xiaojie into the water.
On the other side, although Zhang Chen had an idea in his heart, he kept watching everyone discuss, and he was looking at Xu Tianhao on the other side.
Xu Tianhao and Zhang Ning'er are both next to Xu Hong, Xu Tianhao did not act too radically, but Zhang Ning'er had a posture of quarreling with others.
