Chapter 173: Surrender and beg for mercy, and pamper people with a cold face
Liu Zhong came and went quickly, leaving a group of people whose eyes fell to the ground.
Because Liu Zhong initially detained Luo Wei and the three of them outside the three halls and couldn't move, the others guessed that it was too late, where did they have the time to report that the Hu family's father and son had changed? So, as soon as the father and son of the Hu family heard that Liu Zhong had arrived, they were stunned and lingered at home for a while, until they felt that the new county might have been unlucky, so they ran to the gate of the county government with them who were still raising stick sores, hoping that the top backer of the family would see their miserable appearance and give Zhang Yue more hardship.
However, all this is clearly going according to plan, why did it go wrong at the last minute?
Now it's October, and the weather in the north is originally extremely cold, and at this time, the quilts covered by the Hu family's father and son have been lifted by Liu Zhong, and they are naturally shivering from the cold. The two of them were raising stick sores, they didn't have a piece of good meat on their buttocks, and they didn't wear pants, and the cold wind blew through at this moment, and they were shaking there as if they were sifting chaff, and the mother-in-law of the Hu family was already stupid, and the four helpers hired by the family were also staying, and no one cared about the quilt that fell on the ground.
Hu Li happened to be a person who had lived dozens of years longer, and when he saw Zhang Yue walking towards this side with a smile, he shivered again, and the feeling of cold on his buttocks was completely gone, replaced by the hot pain in his head under the big bamboo board that day. He now understands that he is completely in the wrong place, didn't he hear what his cheap brother-in-law said when he was leaving?
He swallowed hard, and when Zhang Yue was still a few steps away from him, he actually stood up vigorously and knelt up on his two legs, grabbed the edge of the spring stool and touched his head twice, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master forgiveness, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and the little one is guilty!" For the sake of the little listeners. Spare the little one's life, and the little one is willing to atone for his sins, and he will be a cow and a horse for you for the rest of his life. ”
"You say you heard someone instigating? Your son killed and ate the only ploughing cow in the family, and he was also instigated by others? You roared in court to insult your own officials, but you were also instigated by others? You are well-informed and come here to make a big noise, so you are also instigated by others? Zhang Yue walked closer and saw that Hu Li was kowtowing pitifully and begging, so he sneered. Hu Lizheng is really a person who understands current affairs, in that case, can you answer my questions just now? ”
Thinking of the hardships he had suffered, and the biggest backer had left him behind, Hu Lizheng felt breathless, and at this time he supported his arms and tried to look up at a few people on the other side of the wall, and he immediately shouted: "Master Mingjian, this kid is to blame for doing evil. But Xiaodi didn't tell him before and left, not intentionally to despise the master, but instigated by Luo Xiancheng and Zhao Zhushu! ”
After shouting such a sentence, he suddenly felt relieved, so he pointed at the two of them and said viciously: "They said to the little one, the little one is the uncle of Lord Du Shuai." The lord will definitely not dare to take the small ones, and the small ones will go as soon as they go, and when the time comes, the master will not be able to get off the stage! The little ones also knew that they were not sick at all. They are deliberately deceiving you, and they are simply not well-intentioned. They have always occupied the position of the county master, and they don't know how many counties they have taken away, how many benefits they have swallowed, and how small ......"
Since Liu Zhong appeared and became close to Zhang Yue, Luo Wei felt that things had deviated from his calculations. When the two of them entered the third hall to speak, he and Zhao Ming and Ma Cheng were left out instead. Even if he is a fool, he understands that the tide is turning.
However, at this moment, seeing that Hu Lizheng was also a defector, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and the evil was born to the side of the guts, and he stepped forward with an arrow and slapped the old guy who was shouting vigorously. This slap used up all his strength, and this time he slapped down, and Hu Lizheng fell off the spring bench unsteadily. Even two teeth were lost.
Moment of truth. Where can Luo Wei care if this is a relative of Du Shuai, his only hope at the moment is to temporarily interrupt someone's stinky mouth. At this moment. He didn't even have time to look at Zhang Yue's face, pointed at the stunned Hu Lizheng and roared: "You heard Liu Dushuai's words just now, he is dissatisfied with your nonsense, you still dare to talk nonsense and spew blood?" Thou hast despised the great man and roared in the court, and all that eye saw that I had instigated thee? If you still want to be beaten again, even if you talk nonsense, adults have a way to fix you! ”
His scolding finally woke Zhao Ming up, thinking of his identity as a dog-headed military advisor, he didn't dare to slack off, knowing that he should beat the water dog at this time, and get himself out as soon as possible, so he hurriedly ran up and scolded Hu Lizheng, nothing more than accusing him of shameless nonsense. Just as he lifted his foot and wanted to kick the old scoundrel a few times to vent his anger, he unexpectedly stretched out a hand from the side and pushed him aside as if he were pulling out a thousand gold.
"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, Luo Xiancheng, Zhao Zhuji, why bother with such people? Come on, Hu Dahai will be an apprentice for three years according to the law, and he will be imprisoned immediately! ”
Zhang Yue kept watching these people play coldly, until he felt that he had seen it almost, and then he stopped them. At this moment, he glanced at the classic Shi Ma Cheng, who was still standing not far away, as if he was stunned, and felt that this person was calm. At this time, seeing that the messenger came up and locked his son away, Hu Lizheng finally got up from the ground, and scolded Luo Wei and Zhao Ming for countless words with a dry howl, and by the way, exposed countless bad deeds of the two.
Luo Wei and Zhao Ming couldn't wait to kick this old scoundrel to death with a heartwarming foot, but Zhang Yue was in front of him, and none of them could do it. At this moment, it was the Dian Shi Ma Cheng who trotted up and bowed and said: "My lord, it's really ugly to let this old guy make trouble at the gate of the county government, anyway, he can be condemned according to the law, why don't you put him and his son in prison together." You really can't blame Luo Xiancheng and Zhao Zhushu, everyone was scared of Liu Dushuai at the beginning, and they didn't dare to treat him and his son, otherwise if they relied on their bad deeds, ten heads would not be enough to cut off. In fact, he is also incompetent and incompetent, and he can't share his worries for adults. ”
As soon as these eight-sided exquisite words were said, even Zhang Yue had to sigh that this person really had the ability to meet the source left and right. Although he knew that Hu Lizheng was not a good thing, he did not intend to put people in prison at this time, so he waved his hand to stop the two servants who were shaking the chains and were ready to come up to lock people, and commanded in a deep voice: "His matter has already been punished with a rod before, and I still say that one crime cannot be punished twice." Today, though his words and deeds are inappropriate, they are not a crime. ”
After saying that, he glanced at Hu Lizheng meaningfully, and at this time, Ma Cheng also understood, so he shouted at the Hu family: "A group of rice buckets, what are you doing here, my lord, this is a great favor, don't come to kowtow and thank you, carry your master back!" ”
The little master was put on a mission to go to prison. The old master was beaten and couldn't find the scene, who in the Hu family would have thought that the two tyrants of Anqiu in the past would not collide with each other on the spearhead of Xinzhi County? At this time, a group of people came up and kowtowed, picked up Hu Li and rested on the spring bench, rolled up the quilt and covered it, and turned around and ran away, as if he didn't run at this time, he would have no chance in the next life.
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and today is a trouble. Not to mention that there are countless topics that can be talked about by the officials in the county government, even the people outside quickly heard the rumors, and the streets and alleys were full of discussions, and countless people clapped their hands and celebrated. Anqiu's two tyrants have been rampant for not a day or two, and the old and young people have done a lot of bullying men and women. This time it's really planted!
After singing a big drama for a day, Zhang Yue returned to the house and suddenly had a sore back, thinking that even when he was in the capital, he would not be so tired when he dealt with the emperor. He knew very well that if he was not a son of a family. It's not surnamed Zhang, so if Liu Zhong came over today, he decided that there would be no good fruit to eat. I have to say that the connections accumulated by myself are far less convenient and effective than the connections accumulated at home.
"Young master, you're still in a trance!" Qiu Zhen came over with hot water at this time, and when she saw Zhang Yue sitting on the kang, she still looked thoughtful when she entered the house, so she smiled. "Thanks to Lord Liu, who has taken such a trip today, otherwise the guy who didn't get up or down would have turned the sky upside down. You're tired all day, so burn your feet with hot water, rest early after dinner, and get up early tomorrow. ”
Zhang Yue didn't come back to his senses until someone picked up his boots and socks, and seeing that it was autumn marks, he had no choice but to put his foot into the hot water, but he waved his hand and told her not to rub and serve. At this time, it was already a cold day. The ondol was already burning in this room. He sat on the kang and soaked in hot water at his feet, naturally feeling hot on his body. I saw Autumn Scar standing next to him. He didn't know whether his face was red from the cold, or from the heat of the room, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes fell on her hand.
"What's the matter with your hands? How can it be swollen like a carrot! ”
Qiu Zhen's face was flustered, and he quickly retracted his hand back, but said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"Show me." Zhang Yue frowned, stretched out his hand and grabbed Qiu Zhendi's arm, and pulled out the hand she was hiding behind her. Seeing that the fingers that used to be like shallots were covered with chilblains, he couldn't help but be surprised, and when he looked up, he asked, "You have always maintained it well, haven't you never had chilblains?" ”
Amber came out of the back room at this time, and then explained, "Because we have six people's clothes here, and there are bedding and other large objects, Sister Qiuzhen looked at the cold, and the sister-in-law of the Li family and the sister-in-law of the Cui family were too busy, and they soaked their hands in the cold well water all day long, so they couldn't bear it, and said that Hengzhi was fine, so they pulled the slave maid and Sister Lingxi to help for a few days." We were fine, but my sister was probably not used to the weather and water quality, so she had chilblains after a few days, and she refused to say anything from the young master. ”
Zhang Yue had something on his mind a few days ago, and he didn't notice this at all. When I was at home, I had someone to serve everything thoughtfully and properly, not to mention Lingxi, even Autumn Amber never needed to be washed. This time, he brought so many people out, but he still had to let them do these things in the cold, and he couldn't help but feel guilty at this time.
Because he saw that Amber's hands were also a lot rougher, he was about to ask the two of them to rub more rose oil, but he heard a burst of laughter outside, and after a while, the curtain was lifted, and the two girls sent by Ma Cheng before entered the door.
The two of them were dressed in new clothes, one was wearing a willow green Hangzhou silk jacket, the other was wearing a jade satin jacket, their faces were smeared with some fat powder, and they wore fresh piles of yarn and silk flowers on their heads, looking more and more slim. The two of them didn't seem to see the amber and autumn marks next to Zhang Yue, and when they saw that he was soaking his feet, they both stepped forward, and took advantage of the situation to squat down, but before they touched the copper foot basin, they were frightened and retracted their hands with a shout.
"Get out, I don't need you here!"
Since the Lingxi Autumn Scar Amber came, the two girls have never been close to Zhang Yue's body, just now Ma Cheng specially asked someone to send two sets of new clothes, and they immediately changed into them, thinking that they can always beat the plain Autumn Scar Amber all day. Who knew that before he could tie the knot, he ushered in such a reprimand from Zhang Yue. They had been wronged for several days, and at this moment one of them immediately fell to his knees and sobbed
"My lord, what did the two of us do wrong, I never saw you have any good voice! Both horizontal and vertical are slaves, even if they are new and kind, the two of us don't understand those big rules, and you don't have to see it with a straight face! If you really don't want to see ......"
"Stretch out your hands!"
The girl in the willow green Hangzhou silk jacket was wiping her tears, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, but she thought that Zhang Yue had a change of heart, and hurriedly stretched out her two hands, and her heart suddenly became smug. You must know that in the past, when they were in Huixianglou, when their mother taught them blowing, playing and singing skills, she would also tell a woman that in addition to having a pretty face, the neck and hands should be well maintained, as long as they are fair and delicate, there is no man who is not loved.
However, to her great disappointment, Zhang Yue stared at her hand for a long time, and suddenly motioned for another person to stretch out his hand as well, but only glanced at it and sneered.
"Do you know why I didn't want to see you? It's understandable for women to show off their tricks, but it's tiresome to put your mind on this all day long! On this cold day, Lingxi Autumn Scar Amber can go out to wash clothes with a big basin, what have you both done? Since you are girls, you are not here to enjoy the blessings, they are all doing things, why are you two lazy? ”
Seeing that Lingxi was entering the house, Zhang Yue nodded at her: "Lingxi, there are enough of you three in my house now, you will take it out and return the person to Ma Dianshi, so I told him, the people around me are enough now, thank him for bothering before." ”
As soon as these words came out, Autumn Scar was certainly happy on his face, but Amber couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart. Looking at the two pale girls, she felt a little pity for them. After all, men like to find a few flowery girls to put in the house, and few are willing to look at the plain face, how can they know Zhang Yue's preferences?
