The entrance of the Taiwei Mansion.

On the ground was a stretcher, and lay an old man, in his fifties, with gray hair.

His elegant face was flushed with blue, and his lower body did not move at all, and he struggled alone, looking at the drum rack.

It turned out to be a woman who beat the drum.

In her forties, are half-old, with a charm still there, wearing half-new clothes, with a solemn expression, pursing their lips tightly, and there seems to be infinite strength in their thin bodies.

The drum sound of "knock, knock, knock" attracted a lot of people to stop and watch, and compared.

"Is this a drumming redress?"

"Why did you get to the Taiwei Mansion?"

"Is it the White Shirts disturbing the people?"

“……”

The guard at the door saw that something was wrong and wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Huo Bao.

Huo Bao made an appointment with water to go into Wangjiang Tower before.

Go eat ninety-nine seats, satisfy your appetite, and ask one or two by the way.

The girl who has a crush on is married, and I don't know if Shui Jin has eased up now.

The two met at the gate of the Taiwei Mansion and witnessed this scene.

It's really this line of people, a little strange, and it attracts people's attention.

There were four people who came to the Taiwei Mansion before, and in addition to these two people, there were also two strong men who carried stretchers.

The two men were wearing patched kits, which did not match the other two.

The two men were also alarmed when they looked at the Taiwei's mansion, hesitated at their feet, and were urged by the woman several times before they carried the stretcher closer.

The two men put down the stretcher, took a string of money from the woman, and flew away, presumably as if they were hired temporarily.

The woman's garment was not old, but it was silk.

In history, Lu silk has been as famous as Hangzhou satin and Shu brocade.

At this time, the reputation of Lu silk was not so big, but because of the scarcity of production, the price was expensive.

Huo Bao was wearing a jacket with a silk surface.

Such clothes are not worn by ordinary people.

Looking at the man on the stretcher, he looked sick and old, but he was clean and tidy, not embarrassed, and had good hygiene habits.

Such a decent family, without domestic servants and maidservants, has to be hired temporarily......

It's nothing more than encountering an accident, and the family is in the middle of the road.

The grievances should be in the hands of the old man.

Huo Bao stepped forward.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The woman continued to knock, and when she saw Huo Bao, she didn't mean to let go, and her forehead was already sweating.

Huo Bao directly reached out and held down the drumstick.

The woman wanted to pull, but she couldn't pull it, so she was surprised.

"Why don't you go to the prefect's yamen?"

Huo Bao frowned and asked.

The transfer of Mr. Song from Hezhou to Jinling was to maintain stability.

Today, whether the couple is a criminal case or a civil case, according to the rules, they must go to the county level first.

The county governance is unclear, and he went to the prefect's yamen, but there is no reason to go to the Taiwei's mansion to complain.

Is it a real complaint?

Or is it the temptation of someone with other intentions?

The Chuzhou army had just arrived in Jinling, and Huo Bao had to think about it.

The woman looked at what Huo Bao was wearing, then looked at the Taiwei Mansion, and said with a sad and indignant face: "That thief is a guest of the prefect's yamen?" How dare we go? ”

Huo Bao didn't say a word, and looked at the woman carefully.

He looked haggard, his body was skinny, his eyes were blue and black, his eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't sleep well for some days.

It doesn't look like a fake.

Looking at the old man again, his legs could not move, and his right hand was also wrapped, as if he was injured.

His face was blue and black, and it didn't look like he had worked for a few days.

The Chuzhou army entered the city for five days, which did not look like a temporary bureau.

It was an accident.

But with such a big commotion, no one knows what the impact of this accident is.

He didn't speak, and directly turned back to call the guards: "Come on, send them to the prefect's yamen!" ”

A few guards at the door hurriedly walked over.

When the woman heard this, she was anxious and wanted to stop her.

Huo Bao said: "Auntie, don't be impatient, Lord Song is not a favoritist!" ”

"Is that his in-laws? How did he not protect it? ”

The woman's voice was terrible: "What about Mrs. Huo? We're going to see Captain Huo...... Aren't the White Shirts the salvation of the world? Then save us, save us! ”

Huo Bao remained unmoved.

There are no rules.

If the Taiwei Mansion really accepts this case today, then tomorrow's lawsuits for major and minor matters will have to be found in the Taiwei Mansion.

Even if the person the couple sued was really the in-laws of the Song family, Elder Song would not show favoritism.

People grow old and become fine,

How could that old fox ruin the future of several generations of the Song family for the in-laws of Ba Pole Ziyuan?

Shui Jin was a little unbearable, and wanted to persuade Huo Bao, but when he saw his expression, he swallowed the words on his lips.

"Who wants to see me?"

Huo Wu came out and saw that the woman was yelling at her baby son and looking crazy, and she was very unhappy.

The woman's voice stopped abruptly.

This is the door of the Tai Lieutenant, and no one dares to pretend to be the Tai Lieutenant.

"Poof", the woman knelt down and cried: "Please save the little girl, save the little girl, save the little girl......"

The old man behind her struggled to get up and handed the shape in his hand.

Huo Bao stepped forward to take it, hurriedly glanced at it, and handed it to his father.

Huo Wu glanced at it a few times, but he couldn't see his expression.

With such a big movement, there were more people around.

It's not just the curiosity of the drummer, it's mainly the curiosity of "Huo Taiwei".

Shui Jin stood in front of Huo Wu, looked around, and reminded in a low voice: "Fifth master, let's go to the prefect's yamen first!" ”

Huo Wu nodded, and the group went to the prefect's yamen.

……

The prefect's yamen is here.

Song Lin looked at the account book in his hand.

Two days after the notice of the yamen was posted, all the gentry in Jinling City were entrapped.

There is no need to levy, only one or two of them are arranged to "take the initiative" to donate money to repair the city wall, and the other families will come in a swarm, for fear of leaving their homes behind and being worn by the Chuzhou army.

And because it is not a strong faction, there is no number requirement, and the donations of others are not public, so everyone is afraid that the donation will be less, and they will cut the meat ruthlessly.

Within two days, 45 companies "donated" money, raising 428,000 taels of silver.

When he heard that someone was coming to report and knew that Huo Wu was coming, Song Lin hurriedly put down the account book and greeted him in person.

Huo Wu didn't mean to anger Song Lin, and directly handed him the form.

Song Lin took it, glanced at it a few times, knew it in his heart, and said, "Fifth Master, this ......"

"Let's try it, don't let the people say that we are favoritism!"

Huo Wu stated.

Song Lin had no objection.

When the husband and wife saw this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

It was the Hu family who sued.

The Hu family, who succeeded Xue Biao as the richest man in Jinling.

Hu Jiaming's business on the face is an antique shop, but in fact, he is putting money in prints.

The so-called in-laws with the Song family are really like that.

This old man Hu's niece is Master Song's second daughter-in-law.

The plaintiff's old husband and wife are also surnamed Hu, and they are cousins of Mr. Hu, or close branches.

The head of the family, Hu Xiucai and Master Hu are uncles and brothers.

There are dozens of hectares of fertile land at home, and the head is Mrs. Xie Shi, who is an official who has returned to his hometown.

This Hu Xiucai did not pass the exam, but he has attainments in calligraphy, is a talent, and his family life is acceptable.

The only fly in the ointment is that the heirs are difficult, there were several concubines in the early years, and there were no sons and half daughters, or the husband and wife opened their eyes when they were in their thirties and had an only daughter.

has begged for more than ten years, even if it is a daughter, it is also heart-to-heart.

What is rare is that this daughter is very good-looking, and the husband and wife regard it as a treasure, but they are also understanding people, and they dare not let outsiders see it.

can be raised in the deep boudoir, and relatives are also to be seen when they move around.

After coming and going, the name of this girl's beauty reached the ears of Master Hu.

Master Hu found a reason to come to the door, and in the name of seeing his niece, he met in person.

Seeing that this girl was indeed beautiful, she had an idea, and pulled Hu Xiucai to tell her niece about matchmaking.

Hu Xiucai wanted to recruit a son-in-law, and immediately declined.

Master Hu didn't give up, and said it twice, but finally he was annoyed by repeated rejections and threw his sleeves away.

Although Hu Xiucai and his wife knew that Master Hu was ruthless, they were not too guarded.

In the end, it is a grandson and a cousin.

As a result, Hu Xiu went out to the banquet two days later, and on the way back, he was inexplicably involved in a dispute with passers-by and was injured.

The housekeeper hurriedly came back to tell Mrs. Hu and asked her to go to the hospital to see people.

When Mrs. Hu and the housekeeper went and returned, they came back, saying that "the old man was seriously injured", called a sedan chair, and carried Miss Hu to see her parents.

When Hu Xiucai and his wife went home, they never saw their daughter again.

The husband and wife were horrified, and they didn't think of Master Hu at first.

It was still Hu Xiucai's side that showed a different color, and the husband and wife asked about it, only to know that the person who saw Master Hu's house the day before had dealings with the housekeeper.

Today's banquet was accompanied by a housekeeper, and it was also a housekeeper who called away Hu Niangzi.

When I went to the housekeeper's house again, I saw that the building was empty.

"When we arrived at the beast's house, he not only refused to admit the abduction, but also bit back and ...... The little girl eloped with someone, and asked the couple to cover up the matter, so as not to drag the clansmen to clear their names,...... The little girl was only thirteen years old, and she was still a child, and our lord reasoned with the beast, and the beast asked someone to hit our lord's wounds, and also discounted our lord's right hand...... The doctor said, the doctor said, this leg is not good, even if the arm is injured, it should be looked at again......"

The woman choked.

"When is he going to be a matchmaker for your daughter? Which one is the man? ”

Song Lin glanced at Huo Wu's father and son and asked.

If it is the two surnames involved in the case, there is still a possibility that they will see the color.

But this is a cousin who is close to the bloodline, and this old man Hu has a bad reputation, but he has no lustful reputation.

There should be only one reason for this abduction......

Stunning woman, strange goods to live in.

No matter when, nepotism is the top use.

"I remember clearly, it was the tenth day of the ninth month, the day after the Double Ninth Festival, and the dogwood at home was still hanging!"

Hu Xiucai fell into memory: "He didn't say any family, but what he said was rich and noble...... also mentioned that today's noble concubine Niangniang is also a beautiful woman who pampers the six palaces, saying that the appearance of the little girl, if she has the opportunity to enter the palace, she must also be a nobleman...... The emperor is on the edge of the sky, where can the small people climb? However, the prefect at that time, there were many happy events at home in half a year, and I only thought that he had the idea of taking our daughter to offer the beauty of the prefect, so I refused...... Now that I think about it, he also mentioned that the lintel of the Hu family's transformation can't be said to be on the little girl......"

The Hu family is already a gentry family, not ordinary people.

What kind of lintel can be converted?
