Chapter 194: Martyr

"Who let you in, and what are you screaming?"

In the west chamber, the five of Ping'er were kowtowing and praying, when they saw three girls, Juan'er, Mi'er and Xiaozhu, rushing in.

The portrait on the wall of the wind that was brought in was rolled up, and Qingwen was already angry, and reprimanded sharply.

If it weren't for the fact that she didn't wear a beaded hairpin for the past two days, she would have used a hairpin to teach these three little hooves to be a good person.

Mi'er didn't care about being afraid of her at the moment, and hurriedly jumped to her feet and said, "Sister Ping'er, it's amazing, the third master is back!" ”

"What did you say?"

Ping'er, who was originally not satisfied with the reckless collision of the three little girls, stood up in surprise when she heard this, and asked anxiously.

Qingwen, Xiaohong, Chunyan, and Xiangling were also frightened, and they heard Mi'er crying: "Sisters, the third master is back, not at all like what he looks like on weekdays, he rushed in in a hurry, he just ignored people when we spoke, and went directly to the study, you go and take a look......

Ping'er and the others turned pale, didn't say a word, and hurried to the main hall.

Jia Cong's face is indeed terrifying!

What he was afraid of was not this incident, but he was afraid that there would be an inner ghost around him!

After a few years of getting along day and night, he has long regarded these people in the yard as family.

Even those little girls were also lenient and kind, telling Qingwen, who had the worst temper, not to beat and scold them.

The monthly reward is even more if they can give more, so that they can subsidize the family.

But I didn't expect it......

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jia Cong turned his head to look, and saw Ping'er and a few people hurrying over, he took the first step and asked: "Sister Ping'er, don't worry, I'm fine, there was a problem with the township test, I'll come back to find something." What about the pamphlet on my desk, who has cleaned this room? ”

After glancing at it again, his eyes suddenly became solemn and asked, "Where is Qiuzhu?" ”

Ping'er and the others were relieved when they heard this, they didn't know if the township test could be interrupted, they just thought that it really shouldn't be tight. However, when she heard Jia Cong ask Qiuzhu, she still looked like this, knowing that the situation was serious, Ping'er looked at Mi'er and said, "Where is Qiuzhu?" Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to move the third master's desk? ”

Mi'er's face turned pale, and she said, "We haven't moved, we all know the rules of the third master...... But it's Qiuzhu cleaning the main hall today, and she's ...... She's still there just now. ”

Xiaozhu continued: "Third master, sister Ping'er, Qiuzhu has just come to her house, saying that her mother has an illness and wants to take her back to see, but she has not been gone for a while......"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

Jia Cong asked, "Do you know where Qiuzhu and her family are?" ”

Xiaozhu nodded hurriedly and said, "Her family is also a slave, just under the back porch......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Jia Cong striding out, leaving a word: "Don't worry, there won't be a big deal!" ”

When the words landed, the person had disappeared in the Mozhu Courtyard.

Seeing this, how could Ping'er and the others not be worried.

Qingwen scolded even more angrily: "Qiuzhu, this prodigal hoof, I said that she was good, she didn't say anything all day, and she didn't dare to say it out loud, she only knew how to do things, but she didn't expect that she was a slut who hid treachery, let me see it again, I didn't poke her face!" ”

……

"Third brother!!"

Out of the Mozhu Courtyard, Jia Cong was about to ask a few servants to follow him to the back porch to arrest people.

Seeing Jia Lian hurrying over, he shouted from afar: "Third brother, what's wrong?" Why are you back, sir, hurry up and let me take a look! ”

Jia Huan and Jia Lan, who were still panting behind them, didn't know what they were doing together before......

Jia Cong said in a deep voice: "The second brother came just in time, do you know the home of the little girl Qiuzhu in my courtyard?" ”

Before Jia Lian could speak, Jia Huan, who ran with a pale face, replied: "I know, his house is next to Qian Huai's house, just under the back porch......"

When Jia Cong heard this, he said, "Second brother, hurry up and get a few people, go with me, there is something important." ”

Seeing this, Jia Lian wanted to ask something, but saw that Jia Cong's eyes were suddenly as cold as a knife, and he said sharply: "I don't have time to explain at this moment, it's a sin to delay for a moment!" ”

Jia Lian has a soft temperament, and he has a handle in Jia Cong's hands, seeing Jia Cong's rare anger, he didn't dare to delay after responding again and again, and ordered six small servants in front of the second door, and rushed to the back porch together.

……

In only one Guogong Mansion, there are as many as three or four hundred people inside and outside.

Naturally, it is impossible for such a large number of people to live in the Guogong Mansion.

In order to make it convenient for them to serve, the Jia family built a long house at the edge of the back street of Rongning Erfu for the next person to live in.

Later, there were also some people from the Jia clan who were really unhappy, and their children had nowhere to live, so they also lived in a mixed house here.

But in general, the following people are the majority.

Because it is adjacent to the back street, there are many small traders coming and going, and the population is relatively mixed.

People come and go, and no one pays attention to anything......

Qiuzhu's family is in a small house in the westernmost part of the backstreet, Qiuzhu's family of four, in addition to his father and mother, there is also a brother.

The elder brother also works as an errand in the house, but he is lazy and stupid, and he can't get an errand with oil and water.

Now that she has become a pro again, her daughter-in-law is spicy, she is unfilial to her in-laws, and the family is often noisy.

The people around him don't want to associate with such a dilapidated family, but today, there is a strange guest from Qiuzhu's house......

"Very well, this is the booklet."

A middle-aged man with a proud bearing, dressed as a steward, took the booklet from the pale-faced Qiuzhu, opened it and looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

On the side, a thin-mouthed and sharp-eyed woman pushed a young man, who was very powerful at home, but in front of others, he was submissive, rubbing his hands and opening his mouth, but he did not dare to speak.

Seeing this, the young woman was so angry that she couldn't tear him up, and she stepped forward in person and said with a smile: "This uncle, since the things are in hand, the silver that was promised before ......"

When the middle-aged steward heard this, he laughed and said, "Can I still coax you?" But if you can give me money, you will promise me something. ”

"What's the matter?"

The young woman looked warily.

The middle-aged steward said meaninglessly: "It doesn't matter if you agree or not, in the future, your own official will ask you to answer, you just need to admit it and take this booklet from Mozhuyuan." ”

After that, the middle-aged steward nodded at the person behind him, and a young man dressed in a small house, with some pain, took out two large pieces of silver from his arms, handed them to the young couple whose eyes were narrowed, and said, "This is two hundred taels, put it away." ”

Before the young couple took it, they heard Qiuzhu staring at the middle-aged steward, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Didn't you say that you just wanted this because you coveted our third master's poems to be well-written?" also said that only such a booklet is a poem written by the third master himself, not copied from outside, how can there be an official question? What do you tell me to confess? ”

The middle-aged steward didn't expect Qiu Zhu, who was weak in front of her brother and sister-in-law, to question like this, he looked at it more, but found that the girl who was originally very disdainful had a different taste for being stubborn, a lustful look flashed in her eyes, and she snorted and said, "That's what I said, that's right." But what you gave me wasn't bullshit poetry, but evidence of his scientific research fraud! With this, it is difficult for him not to die! Little girl, what's the point of following that dying man, why don't you go with me. Wrap you up for fragrant and spicy food, I'll ...... Ah! Stinky girl, what are you doing? ”

Before the middle-aged steward finished speaking, he saw Qiu Zhu, who was cowardly and like a chicken before, suddenly rushed to him like a madman, and snatched the booklet in his hand.

Fortunately, he was on guard, and raised the booklet to avoid Qiuzhu's snatching, but in desperation, Qiuzhu grabbed the booklet and couldn't grasp it, and grabbed the middle-aged steward's face like he was exhausted, and several blood marks appeared.

The middle-aged steward was furious, slapped Qiu Zhu in the face, knocked her to the ground, and scolded: "Can the little slut hit the guest? ”

Qiuzhu's brother and sister-in-law were also shocked, and they didn't dare to blame the angry middle-aged steward, but instead scolded Qiuzhu who had a swollen face and bleeding from the corner of his mouth: "Little hooves are crazy? The unlucky money-losing goods, don't kowtow to the adults to make amends! ”

They were angry and anxious, for they saw that the young man had taken the money back.

Qiuzhu's sister-in-law wanted to step forward to catch Qiuzhu, but Qiuzhu didn't resist or resist, looking at the booklet in the middle-aged steward's hand with empty eyes......

At this moment, the people in the house heard a voice outside: "Third brother, this is Chen Guier's house, and his girl is Qiuzhu." ”

Hearing this, the faces of the people in the room suddenly changed.

The middle-aged steward no longer had a swaggering attitude, looked around, and saw that there was no back door in this room at all, so he gritted his teeth and turned his head and rushed out.

As soon as he went out, he heard a loud shout: "Stop him, leave him, take your life!" ”

But before the little guy brought outside to make a move, he saw the middle-aged steward fall to the ground with a "poof".

After falling, the middle-aged steward looked back in anger and saw a thin figure, with his hair scattered, holding his leg with a resolute face, holding on to his legs.

The middle-aged steward was furious when he saw it, and he was about to kick it, but he felt the wind blowing in front of him.

Subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a figure rushing forward, flying up and kicking right in front of him.

For a while, the middle-aged steward's eyes were dark, his nose was sore, and his head was stunned.

The booklet in his hand fell to the ground.

The person who kicked him was naturally Jia Cong, and after he bent down to pick up the booklet, he let out a sigh.

Fortunately, it came in time, and if this pamphlet had been passed away, the situation would have been in trouble.

The other person may only want to convict him of his sins and fear that he will destroy the evidence of his crimes.

But if he really loses this, Jia Cong will change from active to passive, and he will lose the evidence.

When Jia Lian saw this scene, even if he realized it later, he knew that something was wrong and someone was harming Jia Cong.

He shouted angrily: "Come on, take down this bastard everything!" Huan'er, go back and call someone! ”

The six little guys came in, overwhelmed the middle-aged steward and held them down, and controlled all the young guys and Qiuzhu brothers and sisters-in-law inside.

Jia Cong looked at Qiu Zhu and didn't know what to say.

In his impression, Qiuzhu has always been a good girl who speaks little and does her duty.

Even if she laughs with her, she mostly smiles quietly, which is endearing.

She will give all the monthly money to her family.

For this reason, Jia Cong also told Xiaohong to send one more copy to Qiuzhu, her family was in difficulty.

He never thought that Qiu Zhu would betray him.

Qiu Zhu, who didn't even want her life just now, didn't dare to look at Jia Cong at this moment, and her body trembled.

Seeing her like this, Jia Cong sighed lightly, without words, turned around and prepared to leave.

It's just that as soon as he turned around, Qiu Zhu's face turned snow-white, and after shaking his body, he slowly got up, and then staggered towards the northeast corner of the courtyard.

"Ouch, I can't help it!"

When Jia Cong heard Jia Lan's cry, he knew that something was happening, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Qiu Zhu had already arrived at a stone fence and was looking back at him.

The poignant guilt and remorse at that glance made Jia Cong's heart frightened.

Looking at the well at the stone fence again, Jia Cong's face changed suddenly, and he didn't even have time to shout, so he flew forward.
