80. The building was sealed
In the afternoon, when Zheng Xian'er returned from the Pavilion, the situation had not changed significantly.
The people are still talking about this matter, it is said that Mr. Chu has been tortured, but he has not yet confessed, and the case cannot be settled for a while.
No one knows whether Lou Que has been tortured or not, but I want to know that his life will not be easy.
Chen Jingxing's speed is not slow. It's only been a day, and the Chen family's case of exonerating Lou Que has been handed to the yamen, and rumors on the street that the Chen family have come forward to refute the rumors.
I heard that the yamen couldn't withstand the pressure, and had already begun to search for Lou Min and Chen Jingzhen everywhere, and wanted to investigate their false accusations.
It's a good turnaround, but it's not very happy.
Because, Li County Ling has taken the opportunity to put Lou Que in prison, even if it is determined that the case of "** people's girl" is purely false, he will never let Lou Que out again.
In this sense, the purpose of the Li County Order has been achieved.
Zheng Xian'er is now just looking forward to finding out Lou Min and them as soon as possible, cleaning up fiercely, and relieving her anger!
When the carriage was about to arrive at Lou's house, Zheng Xian'er instructed Xiaozhi: "When I see Chen Jingxing again, I will say that his sister's matter will not be taken care of for the time being, and in the future, I will ask the scholars to do everything possible to say good things for Mr. Chu!" I remember that after the compilation of that poetry collection, Mr. Lin changed it and added a few poems to it? Let's let it go, saying that the anti-poems were all added by Mr. Lin, and even written by Mr. Lin, and he deliberately framed Mr. Chu and his disciples......"
Xiaozhi didn't know about the poetry collection, so he had to write down Zheng Xian'er's words carefully, and prepared to tell Chen Jingxing after he went back.
After Zheng Xian'er finished speaking, she twisted the handkerchief and thought for a while.
She didn't know much about this Mr. Lin. Lou Que seems to have mentioned it a few times, but he has never expressed any admiration, and his character and knowledge must be far from being comparable to Mr. Chu.
Since that's the case, it's better to just ask him to carry a black cauldron. If he sacrifices one who can save Mr. Chu and the dozen or so proud disciples under his door, then it will be regarded as his Mr. Lin's immeasurable merit!
Zheng Xian'er comforted herself while thinking about it, and she didn't feel much guilt in her heart.
She even began to murmur secretly: Will this Mr. Lin have something to do with the "Old Thief Lin" scolded by Old Man Lou through gritted teeth?
If there is such a coincidence......
Zheng Xian'er suddenly felt that she had guessed the truth.
By this time the carriage had stopped. Zheng Xian'er had to collect her emotions, open the door and get out of the car.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw many people standing next to the carriage, pointing in the direction of the gate of the Lou's house.
Zheng Xian'er followed their gaze and saw a striking "Γ" on the main entrance at a glance. - It was two seals that crossed each other, and it was clearly written "Sangyu County Ya Seal".
The little maid ran out of the corner door next to him and said hurriedly: "Grandma is back!" Those bastards in the county government have sealed our house, and my wife was so angry that she fainted, and she just woke up and was shedding tears! β
Zheng Xian'er stood at the door without saying a word, and did not move for a long time.
The little girl was about to cry: "Grandma, go in and have a look!" β
Zheng Xian'er turned around and faced the crowd. The people passing by were talking louder, and no one cared about her and the Lou family's face.
Zheng Xian'er gritted her teeth, turned around and walked to the front of the main entrance, and raised her hand to tear off the two seals.
"Grandma, this can't be helped!" The little guy was so frightened that his legs trembled.
Zheng Xian'er casually tore the seal, raised it to the bottom of the steps, and said loudly: "The Lou family is not guilty, why did he put the seal?" What is going on in the anti-poetry case, Li County knows better than anyone else in his own heart! Cheer me up, the Lou family hasn't fallen yet! β
The little maid complied resignedly, and hurriedly stepped forward to push the door open for her.
Zheng Xian'er stepped into the threshold, suddenly turned around, and said loudly to the people watching the excitement: "It's all gone, there's nothing to see!" He wants to cover the sky in Sangyu County with a small Qipin County order, but I'm afraid it's not qualified enough! β
After that, she ignored everyone's exclamations, lifted the corner of her skirt and walked straight in.
Ning Xuan Tang.
Everyone in the Lou family was there, crowded into a room, adults and children cried together, and it was a mess.
Zheng Xian'er frowned as soon as she entered the door: "No one is dead yet, right?" What's the deal with crying like this? β
Mrs. Lou propped herself up from the soft couch and stretched out her hand: "Come and sit!" β
Zheng Xian'er sat down as she said, took a closer look, and found that the tears were all little girls, presumably because they were young and didn't have anything to do. Two of them cried so badly that they were dressed up so pretty, but they couldn't remember which room they belonged to for a while.
Hu Shi noticed Zheng Xian'er's gaze and explained to her, "Those two are the girls of Shensiyuan. β
Zheng Xian'er thought about it for a while and understood.
Almost all of the girls in Shensiyuan were picked by her, with the only two exceptions, the two personal maids that Jin Xiang brought in by the way when she entered the house.
Now it seems that I am afraid that there is no such thing as keeping to oneself.
Mrs. Lou rubbed her eyebrows and said weakly: "That dog official has made up his mind to fall into the well." Now except for me and your yard, all other places have been sealed, and they are not allowed to enterβeven my storeroom where the cages are stored has been sealed, saying that it is to be counted. β
"What's the wife's idea?" Zheng Xian'er asked calmly.
Mrs. Lou sat up slowly, holding her hand: "He has a small seven-rank county order, and he is not qualified to seal my yard!" According to me, we should tear the seal and throw it in his face!" It's just that now you are running alone inside and outside the house, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on, let's have more than one thing, bear with it......"
"Is it tolerable or unbearable!" Zheng Xian'er gritted her teeth and sneered.
Aunt An was busy persuading on the side: "It's an eventful time now, the two sons are in the hands of Li County Ling, let's still endure it!" β
"I can't bear this!" Zheng Xian'er said coldly, "Yesterday, Tong Jie's would rather confess his guilt than allow the official to come to the mansion to search, in order to preserve the Lou family's integrity for hundreds of years!" Today, we let the officials bully our heads, where is the integrity? Where is the arrogance? If the Lou family is weak to this point, then simply go to the county government to kneel down and beg the official to search for it! β
Aunt An hesitated and did not refute.
While coaxing the crying Zheng'er, Hu said loudly: "I think there is some truth in what my brother and sister say!" Let's take a step back, then the dog officer will go further, when will it be a head? As soon as the seal on the door was pasted, it was like hanging two footcloths on our faces, and hundreds of years of face were lost! β
Mrs. Lou slapped heavily on the table: "Zhen'er, go to the gate and tear the seal!" β
"No need to go," Zheng Xian'er said lightly, "I have already torn it to pieces!" β
Mrs. Lou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Your temper is more powerful than your sister-in-law!" It's also a loss to Que Er, he ......"
"It's also a shame to Que'er, how can he stop you", she didn't say it all in the end.
Although everyone already knows it, this identity is embarrassing after all, and Mrs. Lou also thinks it's better not to say it.
Zheng Xian'er smiled clearly, and said to everyone: "How many 'foot wraps' have been pasted in your respective yards, go back and tear them off in a while!" Didn't Mrs. just say that she was going to throw it in Li County's face? I've got this errand! β
"This ...... Not okay? Li County's order is the official ...... of parents," Han Yuzhu cautiously objected.
Zheng Xian'er sneered: "It is the parents who make decisions for the people; The thing that makes fish and meat for the tiger, he also deserves it?! I'm going to fight him and see if he dares to tie me up and throw me in jail!" β
"But, let's guard against his tricks!" Han Yuzhu said urgently.
Hu Shi sneered: "Is there still less of the tricks he played before?" β
Han Yuzhu thought about it carefully and said nothing more.
Zheng Xian'er stretched out her hand and beckoned a girl who was crying a lot, squinted her eyes and asked, "Girl Jinxiang's person?" Or is it the second master's person? β
The girl would only cry and would not say anything.
Han Yuzhu had to explain for her: "Both of them were brought out by Jinxiang from the Pillow Xiang Building, and they are Jinxiang's people, and they are also ...... It's the second master's person. β
Mrs. Lou snorted heavily: "I only thought that the evil obstacle had changed his temperament, and it turned out that he was still secretly engaged in these unsightly things!" β
The girl who was called out by Zheng Xian'er wiped her tears and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Zhu'er knows it's wrong!" Zhu'er came from a humble background, she shouldn't seduce the second master, she shouldn't think about it, and beg her wife and grandmother to leave! β
"Hair falls?" Mrs. Lou raised her eyebrows slightly, "Tell me, how should I send you down?" β
Zhu'er hurriedly raised her head, and her face showed a little joy that she couldn't hide: "The slave is willing to leave the Lou family, go far away, and never provoke the second master again!" β
As soon as her words fell, another girl named "Qianjiao" also knelt down busily: "The slave maid, like Zhu'er, is willing to leave the second master, and beg the wife and grandmother to be free from punishment!" β
Han Yuzhu looked embarrassed: "Mrs., this ......"
Hu Shi had already sneered beside him: "Okay, good idea!" When the mistress died in the second room, you immediately rose up and gathered around you like flies; Now that the Lou family is in trouble, of course smart people can run as far as they can! Madam, let them go, lest they have a lot of complaints behind their backs! β
Mrs. Lou nodded, and looked at Zheng Xian'er again: "What do you say?" β
Zheng Xian'er said with a smile: "The people of the second son, it was not my turn to speak. However, since they all call themselves 'slaves', I have no choice but to follow the rules of the house. - You two come with me, you are indispensable! β
The two girls looked at each other and followed her out uneasily.
In Ning Xuan Hall, Mrs. Lou smiled at everyone: "Everyone go back to their own courtyard, you don't have to stay here with me!" β
Hu Shi immediately stood up, but a few little maids below hesitated and refused to leave.
Aunt An's side is the same, there are not many people, and more than half of them can't move.
Mrs. Lou glanced around at everyone's faces, smiled coldly, and called Zhen'er: "Hang up the curtain of the door, and tell the little ladies outside to come to the door, I have something to say!" β
At this moment, the people outside were willing to obey the call.
Mrs. Lou held on to the corner of the table and stood up: "The old man has said before that he is a small seven-rank county order, and he is not qualified to come to seal the courtyard of the Lou family!" The seals in your respective courtyards, the old man said that they could be removed, so you should go and open them! The sky can't hit you on the head when it falls, what are you afraid of? β
The girls sparsely agreed, but many of them still refused to move.
Hu Shi sneered: "Those who wipe their eyes and tears, and refuse to move under their feet, don't plan to stay in the Lou family, right?" The tree hasn't fallen yet, and you are thinking about it to disperse? Since this is the case, the Lou family doesn't dare to use you, so Ming'er got the deed of sale and went out of the house to make a living! β
"Well said!" Mrs. Lou took two steps forward with the interstitial, "Leave everyone who wants to go, and the Lou family will not leave any of them!" Rui'er, go and tell your third young grandmother, ask her to find out all the deeds of sale in the house and send them down, don't delay everyone's future! β
Rui'er agreed, but a mother-in-law in the crowd stood up: "Mrs. is a great grace, the slaves and maids are unforgettable." It's just that the slaves and maids have been serving in the house for many years, and now they are leaving the house empty-handed, but I am afraid that it will be a dead end, but they will live up to the kindness of their wife. β
"What do you mean by that?" Aunt Ann frowned.
The woman raised her head and said, "Since the ladies and grandmothers have been kind enough to let the slaves and maids out, why can't they be good people to the end and give us a few taels of silver?" First, the slaves and maids will have a way to live after leaving the house, and secondly, when the county government will seize the family property, the house will still earn a reputation for honesty! β
"How can it be!" Hu was so angry that he almost fell off the child, "Is this a robbery?" The Lou family hasn't fallen yet, do you know that the family property will definitely be seized in the future? β
"Isn't that obvious? The officials have been here twice, and they are still playing the prestige of the master with me? The woman retorted angrily.
"It's the other way around!" Hu was furious.
At this time, a sneer came from outside the door, but it was Zheng Xian'er who was called back by the girls.
As soon as Zheng Xian'er entered the door, the mother-in-law lowered her head and subconsciously took a step back.
Zheng Xian'er threw out a kick and kicked her heart unceremoniously: "I'm really sorry for your old man, as long as you don't leave the Lou family for a moment, you are still the servants of the Lou family, and my sister-in-law and I are really qualified to play the prestige of the master in front of your old man!" β
The woman raised her head, hid her hatred, and said reluctantly: "Why do you have to worry about a slave with me......
Zheng Xian'er sat down on the chair next to her and crossed Erlang's legs: "Why, no one told you that my little belly and chicken intestines will be revenged?" You contradicted your wife and grandmother, shouldn't I teach you a lesson? - Arin, come and get this minion out, beat her twenty boards, and talk back! β
Arin answered loudly outside, quickly barged through the door, and dragged the man down neatly.
Soon the sound of slapping boards sounded under the porch. The minions inside and outside the door all quieted down, and they all felt a little tightness in their scalps inexplicably.
Who knew that the mother-in-law was actually a tough person, and after receiving a few boards, she scolded again, nothing more than saying something like "vicious heart, sooner or later you will be punished" and "you can be a husband, lewd and shameless", Zheng Xian'er didn't care.
When the twenty boards were finished, the woman couldn't scold.
Ah Lin casually dragged the person back and threw it on the ground, and asked Zheng Xian'er: "Grandma, this woman is full of nonsense, she can't be easily released from the house!" Do you want to shut her up forever? β
Zheng Xian'er nodded, and ordered very casually: "You don't need to let her out of the house." I cut her tongue first, and found a place to lock it up in the deserted garden in the northwest corner. In the future, as long as the Lou family is safe and sound, don't shorten her food and clothing! β
The implication is that if something happens to the Lou family, this woman will not have to live.
A large family, master and servant, everyone saw Zheng Xian'er so ruthless, and everyone was a little frightened.
Among the masters of the courtyards, Han Yuzhu was the first to be frightened. She stood up tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave does not obey the restraints, it is okay to beat it, but it is just ...... Isn't it a bit serious to cut your tongue? Why don't you give her a chance to mend her ways......"
Zheng Xian'er shook off her eyes, and Han Yuzhu shut up.
Seeing this, Zheng Xian'er narrowed her eyes and smiled coldly.
In the face of potential threats, she has always had little patience to influence the other party with great love and kindness. The treatment method she is most accustomed to choosing is called "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots".
If it weren't for the inconvenience of the Lou family's current situation, she would have dealt with it more thoroughly.
A moment later, there was a loud shout outside, and then silence followed. Ah Lin stood at the door and replied, "Grandma, the matter has been done, and the mother-in-law fainted in pain." β
Zheng Xian'er nodded: "Clean it up." β
At this time, the girls who were still thinking about leaving just now quieted down one by one.
Zheng Xian'er sat up straight and asked calmly: "I heard that someone wants to leave the mansion, and my wife allowed you to return your deed of sale, and allowed you to leave the mansion to fend for yourself?" β
No one answered for a long time, but Hu sneered: "They are making trouble to leave, and my wife and I both feel that the sooner the disloyal slave gets out, the better." β
Zheng Xian'er nodded: "Mrs. and sister-in-law are thoughtful, this idea is excellent." β
When everyone heard this, there was a faint hope in their hearts.
Zheng Xian'er knocked on the table casually and muttered: "The minions in the house were all bought with money, from a few taels of silver to dozens of taels of silver. I remember most of them were sold death deeds that couldn't be redeemed, right? β
Everyone nodded.
Seeing this, Zheng Xian'er continued: "Now that my wife has returned the deed of sale with a word, it is equivalent to giving everyone dozens of taels of silver for nothing, which is a great grace!" I heard that there are still people who are not satisfied, and want to force their wives to reward you with money to go out of the house to earn a living? Mrs. hasn't said she won't give it, so you will curse the Lou family for being seized? β
There was silence in the hall for a while, and finally a little girl knelt down tremblingly: "The ladies and grandmothers are willing to let us out of the house, which is already a great kindness, if the slaves and maids can live, they must pray for the wives and grandmothers every day!" Those bastard words before were all spoken by the princess alone, and the slaves and maids didn't dare to think like that! β
"It's good if you don't dare to think like that," Zheng Xian'er narrowed her eyes, "All of you who plan to leave today can't share the hardships with the mansion, and it's not an exaggeration to say that you are disloyal and unjust!" - Disloyal and unrighteous minions, why should the government give special treatment! β
At this time, the expressions of the servants are different, which can be roughly divided into two types: one is red-faced, full of anger but does not dare to speak; The other raised his head high, and although his expression was not necessarily arrogant, there was a determined light in his eyes.
Zheng Xian'er carefully looked at everyone's faces, and slowed down her tone: "Mrs. is a philanthropic person, but I can't see the money in the house being spent where it shouldn't be." Fang Cai Xiaozhi has already gone to get your deed of sale, if anyone wants to leave, they will go to the Buddha Hall to record their names in a while, and they can leave the house tonight. And one more reminder: each of you has to think about it, this is the only chance to regain your freedom. After today, whoever says that you want to leave, first chop off a hand yourself and then come to talk to me! β
At the end, her tone became stern again.
The servants exchanged glances with each other, and one after another knelt out.
After a while, more than a dozen people knelt down in the hall, and seventeen or eighteen servants and nurses knelt on the ground at the door.
"Gone?" Zheng Xian'er glanced around at the people standing.
For a long time, no one answered.
Zheng Xian'er was quite satisfied: "In this case, this matter is settled!" Good together, good luck, good luck - go get your deed of sale! β
Among the kneeling crowd, some people kowtowed two or three heads, and some said a few nice words, but many more just stood up in silence and went out proudly.
There were more than thirty people at once, and the inside and outside of Ning Xuan Hall immediately seemed much more spacious.
Zheng Xian'er clapped her hands and smiled: "The unreliable and the unscrupulous are gone, now the house is much quieter!" - Lan Xiang, you go to Baoxia in a while, and when Xiaozhi finishes issuing the deed of sale of those people, you immediately ask the account office to adjust the monthly silver of the rest of the people, and each person will pay an extra 300 yuan per month. In addition, within three days, everyone in the house will be given a copy of the convulsion money, and the amount will be calculated according to the monthly example of half a year, and it will be reported to me together. β
Lan Xiang hurriedly agreed loudly, and all the servants present were overjoyed.
How can you not be happy about such a good thing as half a year's monthly rule, and you will get more than three hundred dollars every month in the future?
Zheng Xian'er waited for everyone to adjust their emotions, and then stood up and said with a smile: "I won't tell you that there is no shortage of silver in our house at the moment, but I don't like to spend money on those disloyal and unrighteous people." If you are willing to stay, the government will naturally not treat you badly. When our Lou family survives this hurdle, your benefits will only be more. You don't have to envy others for taking the deed of sale, if you want to redeem yourself in the future, the house will not be short of your dozens of taels of silver! β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more ecstatic. Many of them are honest and honest, and they are not less oppressed by those clever people on weekdays. Today, I didn't say anything, I didn't do anything, but I was hit on the head by several big pies one after another, and everyone was a little dazed with joy.
Zheng Xian'er finished playing with her majesty, comforted Mrs. Lou a few more words, and then went out to find Zhu'er and Qianjiao who were waiting under the corridor.
The two girls watched the whole thing under the porch, and they were a little scared in front of Zheng Xian'er at this time.
Zheng Xian'er took the hands of the two of them one by one, walked to a secluded place and asked straight to the point: "Where are the second master and Jinxiang, do you know?" β
The two shook their heads in unison, and Zhu'er even swore a curse: "Jinxiang only treats the two of us as slaves, and refuses to tell us anything!" If we deceive our grandmother, we will be thundered! β
Zheng Xian'er grabbed her hand and smiled: "What do you swear?" I don't know, and I don't blame you! β
The two girls were overjoyed.
Zheng Xian'er led the two of them to sit down in the warm pavilion, and said with a smile: "You also know that now Li County Ling has already arrested the second master and Miss Chen Si in Zhangbang. Whether they return home or not, the end will not be very good. The two of you are young and beautiful, and there are infinite possibilities in the future, so you don't have to waste your mind on the second master. β
"Rest assured, Grandma Sanshao, we know how to measure!" Zhu'er said busily.
Zheng Xian'er casually picked off her own gold chrysum and put it on her wrist for her, and said with a smile: "It's good to know the proportion." After you go out, don't talk nonsense about the affairs of the house, or it will do no one good. Also, if there is news from the second master or Jinxiang, remember to come and tell me that there are still a thousand thank-you gifts for two silvers. β
Only then did the two know that Zheng Xian'er asked them out alone, and they hurriedly agreed.
Qianjiao looked at Jin Chuan on Zhu'er's wrist and blushed a little, and saw that Zheng Xian'er didn't mean to reward her, so she hurriedly leaned forward and whispered: "Grandma, the slave maid heard that the second master has two outer houses near the Pillow Xianglou to raise women, which are about the area of the dry well alley!" Grandma asked someone to go over there and guard it, and most of them could find it! β
This is a bonus. Zheng Xian'er smiled knowingly, pulled out a hairpin and stuffed it into Qianjiao's hand: "It's not a good thing, you take it and play with it first." If there is more definite news in the future, I will thank you very well. β
Qianjiao happily agreed, and got up with Zhu'er to thank her, completely forgetting Lou Min's past kindness.
Zheng Xian'er looked at the backs of the two of them leaving together, and felt a little emotional for a while.
After a while, Xiaozhi had finished his errand and came back with ease.
"All arranged?" Zheng Xian'er asked knowingly.
Xiaozhi smiled: "Aren't you still worried about my errands?" Now we all go back and pack our things, we have to leave before dark! I had people keep an eye on it, and they couldn't get any of the things in the house! β
"Ruthless enough." Zheng Xian'er smiled and stretched out her thumb.
Xiaozhi thought for a while, and then said: "I just took a look: there are only two rough girls in our courtyard who are gone; Only one went to the Garden of Meditation; The grandmother walked the most, and the yard was half empty; Mrs. and Aunt An each walked three or four people beside them. But listen to Songyuan......"
"How?" Zheng Xian'er frowned.
Xiao Zhi's eyebrows bent, and he smiled: "Listening to Songyuan, there are less than ten people in total, and this time they didn't leave any of them!" I didn't expect that although the fifth master has not been in the house often over the years, he still has a set of control over the people! β
Zheng Xian'er finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Xiaozhi came over with a smile again: "Just now over there in Baoxia, I heard the two little guys from Songyuan talking to me." They asked me to tell you that no one is allowed to enter the fifth master's bedroom, and the official who came to seal it today only put a seal on the door and did not dare to enter. - What about the seals over there now? The minions are afraid that they will not dare to do it! β
Zheng Xian'er stood up and smiled relaxedly: "Then do you still need to ask?" Naturally, I'm going to tear it! β
