Chapter Ninety-Nine: Neighbors with Ghosts
Listening to this discussion, everyone looked at each other, and did not know how to respond.
Liu Youan was the only one who praised the festival: "The teacher broke the sky with one word!" Taixi Zhuyi, with a human face and a beast's heart, only knows the benefits and disadvantages, and talks about morality? There are strong and domineering people, there are cheats and abductions, and they make up a few imaginary countries to bluff people, for them, it is a habitual skill! Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty, how many people have entered its hub, and they are still unaware, which is really ridiculous! β
Wang Zhongyun's face was unhappy: Of course I can't be considered "Zhu Zi", but if you say so, I will naturally be classified as "ridiculous".
"Some people are really confused," Xu Tong sneered again, "Some people are just pretending to be confused!" β
"Yes!" Liu Youan said, "I'm afraid that there will still be collusion with foreign people, arson with the wind, and deception of the Holy Lord...... And so on! In a word - betraying the country for glory! β
"It's still because there are too many confused people." The master of Honglu Temple, surnamed Sun, twisted his sparse goatee and said, "Set things right, go back to the source, and rely on my generation!" This one...... There are fewer confused people, there are more people who understand, and if you pretend to be confused, the play will not be able to continue! β
"That makes sense!"
Xu Tong slapped the table lightly, and was about to make a big discussion, when suddenly a melodious sound of silk and bamboo came, and his face immediately sank.
When everyone listened carefully, the sound of this silk bamboo was very clear, and the musician should not be far from here, across the Xu house, about the distance of one or two houses.
Interestingly, the sound of this silk bamboo, "silk" is not the kind of huqin that you are used to hearing, and "bamboo" is not the type of sheng flute that you are used to hearing, I don't know what kind of musical instrument it is?
"It's a foreigner's thing!" Xu Tong's face was gloomy. "The sound of lewdness. All day long. It's useless to plug your ears either! Alas, I really am...... Be your neighbor with ghosts! β
Everyone immediately remembered the couplet posted on the gate of Xu's house: "Looking at the ocean and sighing, and the ghost is the neighbor." β
It turned out that Xu Tong's home was in Dongjiaomin Lane, and he was almost a neighbor with the legations of various countries.
This is really an extremely ironic situation: a person who hates foreigners the most resists anything that has anything to do with the word "foreign". But I had to live in the same alley with a large number of foreigners, looking up and meeting at night, and hearing each other.
"This is a great responsibility from heaven!" Liu Youan hurriedly comforted, "The teacher is enduring humiliation for the country!" There will be a day when we will pay back a peaceful world! When the time comes, let's put wine here, for the teacher's birthday, and think of today's situation. Hey, too...... Don't have a lot of emotion and interest! β
The so-called "clean world". Nature refers to the "world" where the foreign is completely outside the country, the system of the ancestors is restored, and the way of the holy king is flourished. At that time, there was no longer a foreigner in Dongjiaomin Lane, and there would be no "promiscuous voice" of foreigners.
With these words, Xu Tong's face greatly stretched, and he glanced at Liu Youan with great appreciation, and said, "Ji Fu said well! For the 'Qingping World' to come to China as soon as possible, let's have a toast! β
Everyone raised their glasses one after another, touched each other, and was about to send it to their lips, when outside the second door, there was a sudden rush of footsteps and a commotion.
Xu Tong frowned, put down the wine glass, and drank: "What's the matter, is it going to be water or is it the other way around?" β
As soon as the words fell, several people had already poured in, and the two family members in the middle were holding a limp person, whose faces were covered in blood. The housekeeper Xu Fu was watching from the side, looking panicked.
Xu Tong recognized it at a glance, the one standing between the two family members with a face covered in blood was actually his eldest son Xu Chengyu!
He was taken aback, and stood up suddenly, and the stool under his ass and the wine glass on the table in front of him were overturned.
"This, thisβwhat's going on?!"
Xu Fu cried with a sad face: "Go back to the master, the eldest young master is outside...... Call someone to beat it! β
Before Xu Tong could speak, Liu Youan had already slapped the table and stood up: "How can this really be true!" Under the hub, Lang Lang Qiankun, such an appalling thing happened! Is there still a royal law? Hurry up and report to Shuntianfu and report ...... Infantry army commander yamen! Arrest the murderer! β
Xu Tong was just about to speak, but Liu Youan took the first step: "Where is the injury of the brother?" Is the injury serious? Doctor, doctor! β
While speaking, the family had already carried over a soft couch, helped Xu Chengyu to lie down on it, and everyone gathered around, only to see that the young master Xu had a blue nose and swollen face, and a hole on his forehead, which didn't seem to be too long and deep, but the blood was covered all over his face, and it looked quite terrifying.
The guests were filled with indignation, and they all said that the murderers must be brought to justice.
"I've already called someone to call a doctor," Xu Fu said, "and I'll be there in a while, but it's ......."
"That's good!" Xu Tong didn't hear the word "but", "Did you report the case?" β
"Well, it's not ...... yet"
"Not yet?"
Xu Tong was about to have a seizure, and suddenly woke up: "Yes, yes, you have to bring my film!" Quick, go get a piece of me! β
"This ......" Xu Fu snorted, but did not move his steps.
Xu Tong's eyes widened: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Go ahead! β
"Master, the eldest young master is ......" Xu Fu looked at the guests and lowered his voice, "Uh, can you, change places, and give you ...... Detailed report? β
"What else do you have to ramble on?" Xu Tong was impatient, "These adults and masters are all their own people, right here - if you have something to say, let it go!" β
Xu Fu had no choice but to say: "The eldest young master was beaten, and he couldn't report the case." β
"What?" Xu Tong's eyes widened, and his eyebrows were raised, "Can't report the case?" β
"Uh, yes, the ...... that can't be reported"
"Fart!"
Xu Tong took a sip on Xu Fu's face and said loudly: "What, the one who beat people, what kind of prince wants his son?" The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people! Even if it is the prince himself, I will be severely impeached! You say, what kind of person is the one who hit someone? β
"It seems to be...... A man who was mixed up on the ground east of the city...... The ...... called Du Er"
"He's the head of a bastard, isn't he?"
"Yes......"
"Whew! I'm still a man with eight vajra, three heads and six arms! Cheng Yu is a tribute student, and he is famous! He is a flat-headed common man, what crime should he be guilty of beating a tribute student like this? I made a film, and Shuntianfu sent two officials to do him! Let him stay in prison for the rest of his life! β
"But," Xu Fu snorted, "the eldest young master is ...... The ...... of the eight alleys that were beaten"
Xu Tong didn't hear clearly: "Which alley?" β
"Uh...... Bada Hutong ......"
Xu Tong was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, and couldn't help but be stunned: "This evil obstacle!" He, he, goes to that kind of place...... Do what? β
