It's a pity that to his surprise, Kong Yiji did not apologize to himself as he just said, but rushed over to pick up the bloodied Father William, and then pointed at Ding Gongzi and the housekeeper with an angry face and scolded: "Your Ding family is so bold that you dare to break the legs of Lord Yang!" Don't be afraid, Father William, I will take you to Shaoxing and Shanghai, and find our British ambassador, Mr. Brother, so that he can call the shots for you and avenge you! With that, he helped Father William to the carriage that had just arrived from Li Si.

Ding Gongzi, who was a little unsure of Tang Ning's angry scolding, asked in confusion: "Kong Yiji, you, what's the matter with you?" That's not what you just said, did you? "Saying that, I have to find Downing to comment.

The housekeeper on the side thought that Ding Gongzi was going to make a move, so he hurriedly grabbed him and begged bitterly: "My young master, you have caused a big trouble today!" ”

"Trouble? What trouble did I get into? Didn't you just beat a foreign monk? What's the big deal? Ding Gongzi muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Young master, have you forgotten what the master told you a few days ago?" The housekeeper kindly reminded.

Ding Gongzi retorted confidently: "My father said that I should have less contact with this foreign monk, and I must not be instigated by him to believe in foreign religions, don't you see that I don't believe it." ”

After listening to Ding Gongzi's words, the housekeeper said depressedly: "Young master, you might as well not believe it." You didn't think about it, even the old man didn't dare to provoke this foreign monk, and let him come to the house every day to harass him, why is this? ”

"It shows that my father is soft-hearted! Otherwise, these people can misunderstand that their father believes in foreign religions? Now that you see me going down with a stick, who would dare to say that we believe in foreign religions? ”

The housekeeper said in his heart, well, now no one will say that our Ding family believes in foreign religion, but you have completely offended the foreigners, didn't you hear Kong Yiji just now say that he was going to Shanghai to find the head of the foreign monk to administer justice? Just such a foreign monk named William didn't even dare to provoke the county commander, didn't the head of the foreign monk even dare to provoke the old man of Fu Yin? Besides, your father's heart is still soft? Who will believe what you say?

But the housekeeper didn't bother to explain to this confused young master anymore, and directly asked the housekeeper to drag him to Ding Juren. When Ding Juren heard that his son had actually broken Father William's legs under Kong Yiji's prodding, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and broke his soul, and he was about to beat his son with a cane: "Okay, you rabbit cub, you don't learn all day long, are you willing to destroy our entire Ding family now?" I can't believe I could give birth to such a fool as you! ”

Fortunately, he was stopped by the housekeeper: "Master, master, you are angry, the young master was also picked up, and now that the matter has happened, then we should think about how to make up for it, or let's go to Master Huang now and let him say good things to Lord Fu Yin?" ”

Ding Juren took a sip and said, "Don't say it's Master Huang now, even Lord Fu Yin can't hold this matter!" Do you know that foreigners are powerful now? Even Lafayette was driven to Xi'an by them. Do you know what the cause of this is? It was a few foreign monks who were beaten to death by the Boxers, and this is what happened. Now that Father William's leg has been broken by us again, if he really makes trouble with the British ambassador, maybe the foreigner will come again, and then I will become a sinner for the ages! ”

"Hurry up and send someone to stop Kong Yiji and that foreign monk, and resolutely can't let them go to Shanghai to find that ambassador, otherwise it will be too late!"

The housekeeper was just about to take the order and leave, but Ding Juren said again: "By the way, send two shrewd people over, but you can't do it again, otherwise it will be a crime on top of a crime, and it will be even more difficult to solve." ”

After a while, the two family members came back and reported: "Master, Kong Yiji and the foreign monk did not go to Shanghai, and now they are looking for Langzhong in the church to see a doctor, saying that they will go after the foreign monk's leg is better." ”

In fact, this is the time for Tang Ning to give Ding Juren to intercede, and he really doesn't want to make a big deal about this matter, in case the British really use this incident as an excuse to put pressure on the Qing government, then the people are unlucky in the end, and he Tang Ning will become an indirect sinner.

Hearing that the foreign monk hadn't left yet, Ding Juren said happily: "As long as they don't go to Shanghai, what, you two continue to keep an eye on this matter, and report to me as soon as they want to go out." In addition, butler, you go and invite Master Huang immediately, and I will discuss with him how to deal with this matter. ”

Half a day later, Master Huang came to Ding's Mansion immediately, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Ding Juren with a serious expression: "Brother Ding, I have heard your housekeeper talk about this matter on the way. Didn't I say you, Brother Ding, you really made a big deal this time. With the current prestige of the foreigners, if this matter is really used as an excuse, not to mention Lord Fu Yin, even the Governor will not be able to bear it, so he must settle the matter before this priest reaches the ambassador. ”

Hearing this, Ding Juren's face suddenly sank, and he took a step closer and whispered: "Brother Huang, why don't I send two people to give this priest a hundred times!" As he spoke, he made a gesture of killing his head.

Master Huang was taken aback by him, and immediately waved his hand again and again: "Brother Ding, don't be, don't know, these foreign monks are all organized, don't look at you There is a foreign monk here in Luzhen, but there are his uplines in Shaoxing and Shanghai, and they have regular meetings, and once it is found that this William died in Luzhen for no apparent reason, then the matter will be even bigger!" ”

Hearing Master Huang say this, Ding Juren's face suddenly turned bitter: "Then, what can I do about this matter?" ”

"What else can I do? Apologize and take money to eliminate the disaster! By the way, I heard your housekeeper say, there is a person named Kong Yiji in Luzhen by the side of this foreign monk, it seems that he is quite trusted, can you follow his path, I believe that he is always much easier to talk than a foreign monk. It's a big deal to spend more money, Brother Ding, now is a time of life and death, don't worry about money! Master Huang kindly proposed.

Ding Juren said, what I don't want to ask for the most is this Kong Yiji, but now that the matter has come to this, I can only beg him hard!
