****************************************************************************

After the limerick is chanted, the book returns to the main story. In the second volume, Table 1 shows the Longqing period, the glitz and glory of the land of gold powder in the Six Dynasties, and the grievances and hatreds of the Qinhuai Fengyue in the ten miles.

Tang Jing, who had died for a lifetime, returned to Nanjing and learned that his family had been occupied by his old friend Xu Kun in the business field, but he also knew very well that this Xu Kun was the nephew of Xu Gelao, the first assistant of the dynasty, so he took Zhu Hui to wander on the banks of the Qinhuai River for a day, neither daring to go home nor to sue.

Zhu Hui gave Tang Jing an idea, let him hide first, and test it himself, sure enough, this Xu Kun was quite unreasonable, the two of them were not speculative, Xu Kun ordered the family to send Zhu Hui to the Yamen of Yingtianfu, this book has been stated in the first volume of "Hai Rui Judgment Case", and will not be repeated here.

Master Wu, with the support of Hai Rui, the governor of Yingtian, went to Tang Jing's home to summon Xu Kun, and Mrs. He heard that her father-in-law had returned, and begged Xu Kun not to forget the original oath, causing Xu Kun, who was about to return to his hometown in Songjiang, to run away in anger.

waited until all the people watching the excitement dispersed, and Tang Jing, who was hiding behind Zhu Hui, was afraid that someone would recognize him, so he took a fan to cover half of his face, and then quietly returned home.

Tang Jing, who has been away from home for many years, remembered that this home had been occupied by his friend Dove for six years, not to mention the awkwardness, holding his two daughters in his arms like tears, and his heart was like numbness......

Mrs. He faced her husband facelessly, locked herself in the wing room and wept and wiped her tears, and ten-year-old Tang Qiong and seven-year-old Tang Yao broke free from their father's arms, banging on the door and crying loudly, for fear that their mother would find a short-sighted.

Zhu Hui followed behind the Tang sisters and persuaded, "Two nieces, please don't be so sad, let me persuade your mother." ”

Tang Qiong saw that Zhu Hui was also a half-grown child, and asked timidly, "Who are you?" Why do you call us that? ”

"I'm a good friend of your father's name, Zhu Hui......"

Tang Jing, who was self-contained, really wanted to blast Zhu Hui out in his heart, but in the future, he would have to rely on the help of Xu Ling'er and others to rescue his old mother, wife and children from Yiqi Island, so he had to introduce Tang Qiong and Tang Yao sisters: "In the future, Zhu Gongzi will live in our house, and the two of you will treat him as your own brother, you know?" ”

The two sisters nodded with tears in their eyes.

On the way back from Liaodong, Zhu Hui called his brother all the way, and now Tang Jing asked his daughter to call himself brother, obviously, he wanted to treat himself as a junior and do things for him in the future.

Zhu Hui didn't care, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and persuaded: "Auntie, please open the door, Uncle Tang is a good person, he once saved my life in Liaodong, today when he was in Yingtian Governor Yamen, Uncle Tang swore in front of Lord Qingtian that he would never dare to treat your mother and daughter slowly, and Lord Hai will see his performance in the future." ”

"You don't want to come here." He Shi stopped crying and sighed sadly: "I don't have the face to live anymore......"

"Auntie, I won't escape, the door is locked inside, how can I get by? Auntie, you know what? After returning to Nanjing with his uncle, he was penniless and still has a hot meal. ”

"How can I live! That move...... It's been six years, and there has been no ......."

"Uncle knew that there was a mistake in the first place, and he regretted it for a long time, and now he finally came back, auntie, if you don't boil saliva and cook a meal for him, do you still let your uncle kneel down and beg you?"

He opened the door and walked out with his face covered.

Zhu Hui took Tang Qiong with one hand and Tang Yao with the other, and when he approached He's, he said: "Auntie, my uncle and I were able to escape from overseas this time, it can be said that we have gone through a lot of hardships, and it is already a blessing of the Bodhisattva to come back alive, please rest assured that my uncle will live with peace of mind when he comes back." ”

He sighed, cried and sighed: "How can you live this day......"

"Fortunately, I met Master Qingtian, let us call the shots, I believe that the surnamed Xu will not dare to make trouble again, how many things are there for him in this house, let's return them to him, no matter how difficult it is, this day will always be lived." Zhu Hui comforted.

Wiping away her tears, Mrs. He stood up, Zhu Hui took a closer look, only to see her jet-black Feiyun bun, a hairpin beaded flower, slender and picturesque eyebrows, eyes flashing like stars, tassels hanging down, white and pure duck egg face, a pearl chain hanging from her snow-white neck, a soft and thin figure, wearing a light red crepe bandeau skirt, and a three-inch golden lotus on the ground, like a fairy dancing.

Zhu Hui had never seen the three-inch golden lotus, and he was afraid that He would fall, so he wanted to step forward to help him, but He didn't panic, and ran into the kitchen to cook with his little feet.

Suddenly found that the timid Tang sisters were standing beside their father, and Tang Jing at this moment looked dull-eyed and in a trance, so Zhu Hui said: "Tang Qiong and Tang Yao, your yard is so big, take me for a walk." ”

The two sisters led Zhu Hui through a moon gate and into the back garden, and the ignorant little Tang Yao asked, "Brother, will Xu Dada come back?" ”

Zhu Hui squatted in front of Tang Yao and asked softly, "Do you still want Xu Dada?" How long has he been living in your house? What about your sisters? ”

Xiao Tang Yao blinked and looked at Zhu Hui, nodded seriously, and replied: "Xu Dada is good to us, he has often come to my house since I can remember, as for my father, I only heard that his name is Tang Jing, and I don't remember what he looks like." ”

Zhu Hui thought that Tang Yao was still a child after all, so he turned around and asked, "Tang Qiong, how is Xu Dada?" ”

Tang Qiong, whose face was flushed, lowered his head and replied softly: "He is also in business, he often goes back and forth between the capital and Songjiang Mansion, and he is usually very good, he only comes to live at my house when he passes through Nanjing." ”

"Forget him, he won't come again." Zhu Hui said and patted Tang Qiong's shoulder.

Tang Yao chased after him and said: "Brother Zhu Hui, I heard Xu Da say that his uncle is a big official, and we will have whatever we want in the future, and he also said that he would take us to the capital to play, and after we return to Songjiang Mansion this time, we will change our surname to Xu." ”

"Yaoyao, don't talk nonsense." As she spoke, Tang Qiong glared at her sister fiercely.

"Tang Qiong has grown up and understands everything, you have to tell your sister what happened at home."

Understanding the meaning of Zhu Hui's words, Tang Qiong bit her lips tightly, with tears in her eyes, nodded and replied, "Brother, I know." ”

At this time, Tang Jing also took the He family to the back garden, and Zhu Hui pushed the two sisters to Tang Jing's front and said, "This is your father, go quickly." ”

A family of four hugged each other and cried bitterly, Zhu Hui's nose was sore, thinking of what happened to him, he ran into the back garden, and secretly wiped his tears.

After the whole family got together for lunch, He sent his two daughters to wash the dishes, called Tang Jing and Zhu Hui into the main hall, and said: "Although there is the Qingtian Lord of Yingtianfu to call the shots for us, I estimate that Xu Kun will come back, since you are back, I believe that he has no reason not to leave, I will go and pack his things." ”

Tang Jing knew that he couldn't face Xu Kun, and after listening to his wife's words, his heart felt like he had broken a five-flavor bottle......

Zhu Hui said: "Uncle, I chatted with Tang Qiong and Tang Yao for a long time just now, and I probably know that this Xu Kun is not so bad, I am afraid that Xu Kun will come later, in case the words are not speculative and cause trouble, simply, let's go buy some gifts and go to Yingtianfu Yamen to thank Master Hai." ”

Tang Jing gritted his teeth fiercely, thinking that all these years have passed, do you still care about this afternoon?

At this time, the Tang sisters also came back from the kitchen, Tang Jing gave Zhu Hui a look, Zhu Hui immediately got up and went to the door, pulled up the Tang sisters, and said: "Go, accompany my brother to the garden to catch it, brother's ability, I'm afraid you haven't seen it, hehe." ”

After Zhu Hui and the Tang sisters left, Tang Jing could no longer control his desires, and pulled his wife He back to the bedroom......

After more than an hour, Tang Jing dressed neatly, walked out of the bedroom with a red face, called his two daughters to his side, and said a few words seriously, and then called Zhu Hui to go out of the house together.

Slowly getting up from the bed and picking up the torn clothes, He shook his head with tears, took out a long shirt from the cabinet and draped it over his body......

Worried that Xu Kun would come back in the afternoon, Zhu Hui and Tang Jing quietly hid in the back garden, wanting to wait for Xu Kun to come back and teach him a lesson, but when it was nearly dusk, Xu Kun didn't come.

"When I was in Yamen today, I heard that Xu Kun's uncle was not treated well by the new monarch and had lost his official position and resigned, it seems that this kid will no longer dare to be arrogant in the future, maybe he has returned to his hometown in Songjiang."

"Uncle, then let's go and thank Master Hai soon."

Zhu Hui stepped forward to knock on the door, waited for a long time, and saw no movement inside, so he said: "Uncle, you see, aunt is afraid that Xu Kun will come back, even if I knock for a long time, she will not open the door." ”

"Qiongqiong, it's Daddy who is back, open the door." Tang Jing shouted loudly.

Tang Qiong opened the door, looked at his father timidly, and whispered: "Dad, Xu, Xu, he didn't come." ”

Seeing He Shi coming over, Tang Jing said, "Bring me some silver first." ”

He Shi didn't say anything, took out a bag of silver from his bosom, and handed it to Tang Jing's hand.

"How much silver do we have in our house?" Tang Jing asked.

He Shi was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly replied with some embarrassment: "There are one or two hundred taels of silver." ”

"Is it ours or Xu's?" Tang Jing asked again.

"Our family."

Tang Jing nodded and said, "We still have to go out to do something, if Xu Kun comes, let him take all his things and his silver, let's not take advantage of him, you know?" ”

"Please rest assured, husband, I'm cleaning up." Ho replied.

The two went out again, and when they came to the street, Tang Jing asked, "What should I send to Lord Qingtian?" ”

"Since it's Lord Qingtian, he won't care what we send, according to me, when you go to Lord Hai's mansion, you can kowtow and thank you." Zhu Hui replied.

"That's right. I heard that this old man Hai took office on the first day, let's not ruin the reputation of others, just buy two of our Nanjing plate ducks, and ask the old man to try it. ”

The two carried two ducks to Hai Rui's official residence, but they were blasted out by the old family of Haifu, Tang Jing and Zhu Hui were unwilling, so they knelt in front of the mansion for more than two hours......

When he knelt down all the time, no one paid attention to them, so he got up and walked back along the flower market street.

At this time, Xu Kun and Xu Xi were full of food and drink in Fireworks Willow Lane, and they came to the door again, ready to ridicule the soup scene, and then drove him out.

Sending Xu Xi to knock on the door, Xu Kun snorted angrily and scolded: "Give me a hard beating of this bastard, I have never suffered such a shit, I will ...... later"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Kun was suddenly covered by someone, and the two descendants were very quick and tied him up in an instant; As soon as Xu Xi turned his head, he was strangled by someone, and before he could say a word, he was also tied up solidly.

Xu Kun and Xu Xi were each stuffed into two sacks, and several big men lifted them up and threw them into the carriage, and the group immediately left the Tang Mansion and took advantage of the night to leave the Jubaomen.

Not long after Xu Kun and Xu Xi were taken away, Tang Jing, who was drunk and dizzy, lay on Zhu Hui's shoulder and came back staggering.

When he arrived at the door, Tang Jing wanted to knock on the door, but fell on the steps.

Zhu Hui hurriedly went over to help, only to see Tang Jing swing his hand and stammer: "This, this, this counts...... What is the blue sky, I think we give a few gifts, don't let us, let's enter the door......"

Zhu Hui persuaded: "Didn't you listen to what the people all over the street said, Master Hai is Hai Qingtian, and he never accepts any gifts, uncle, think about it, if Master Hai receives gifts, can we compare to the Xu family?" ”

"Then he, he still threatened me, if I find out that I was a pirate, I will be severely punished and not loaned?"

"I didn't do anything wrong, and I wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Zhu Hui said, going to knock on the door.

He opened the door, Tang Qiong and Tang Yao stood in the courtyard to watch, only to see Zhu Hui dragging Tang Jing in, and the two sisters suddenly let out a howl, so frightened that they hid behind the shadow wall.

The courtyard door was locked from the inside, and the angry He Shi looked at Tang Jing and Zhu Hui coldly......

Zhu Hui thought that she minded Tang Jing drinking too much, and explained: "Auntie, don't blame, we are in the market, I heard that Master Hai is bitter, never accepts gifts, and does not dare to bring more gifts, I bought two ducks to visit Master Hai, but I didn't expect to be thrown out, we knelt in front of the governor's mansion for more than two hours, and finally were scolded by Lord Hai, so I drank two taels of soju with my uncle and ate the two ducks." ”

"You, have you two ever been robbers?" He asked with a look of horror on his face.

"Why did Auntie say that?"

He still didn't dare to believe it, and asked again: "What happened just now, just now, really didn't you do it?" ”

When Tang Jing heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and he lay on the ground and rolled and shouted: "Oh my God......, let, let me, die outside, forget it, Xu Ling'er is hateful!" Yi Sunsin is hateful! You, why did you save me? This, this makes me, how can I be embarrassed ......"

Zhu Hui asked again, "Auntie, what happened just now?" ”

Tang Qiong ran over and said, "Brother, someone knocked on the door just now, I, I thought it was you and my father coming back, but when I was about to open the door, I saw ......"

Zhu Hui looked at Tang Qiong's panicked expression, and hurriedly asked, "Qiongqiong, what did you see?" ”

"I saw through the crack in the door that Xu Da and Xu Xi were strangled and hooded, put into sacks, thrown into a carriage and pulled away."

When Tang Jing heard this, he sat up abruptly and asked, "Qiongqiong, what are you talking about?" ”

Tang Qiong was so frightened that she hid behind her mother, and He Shi told the situation just now, and finally asked, "Tang Jing, I just want to know, did you do this?" ”

"If Auntie doesn't believe it, she can go to the Yamen of the Heavenly Governor tomorrow to ask." Zhu Hui replied.

"Haha...... your grandmother's Xu Kun is really retribution!" Tang Jing got up from the ground, grabbed He, and asked anxiously, "How much silver did he leave in our house?" ”

He replied tremblingly, "There may be a million taels in the cellar." ”
