Chapter 233: The Power of Rumors
The opening drum of Fang Market has just fallen, and the people have begun to approach Cui's house again. Since the last time Jin Wuwei expelled them, they could only stand ten feet outside the Cui family's door, but the people were still willing to do so.
Some of them have lost their children, some are not angry at the Cui family's treason, and many more are just here to join in the fun.
Watching the excitement is a fine tradition handed down from ancient times, chattering and discussing, adding color to their after-dinner meals.
And they haven't seen the liveliness of the Cui family, this is different from the liveliness of the second widow next door, this liveliness is enough to add a strong touch to their boring entertainment life......
The shopkeeper Wang opened a restaurant in the East Market, and because he was good at management, he was also making money every day. Of course, people who can afford to open a restaurant in the East Market naturally have some relationship. And the relationship between the shopkeeper of the king is to climb the eldest grandson's family, that is, because the eldest grandson's family supports him behind his back, so this business can flourish.
Shopkeeper Wang has passed the year of confusion this year, and he was originally high-spirited and proud, but since he lost his child a month ago, the whole person has completely aged a lot.
Maybe it's because the king's shopkeeper's business is doing too well and provoking jealousy. So I don't know why I married a four-room concubine, and I only had a son the year before last. Naturally, I can't like it, it's afraid of melting in my mouth, and I'm afraid of falling when I hold it in my hand.
Whether it is the Xuandu Temple or the Wuxian Temple, they all donated merit to his son. I just hope that this child can grow up safely.
A month ago, Datang broke the Turks in Yan'er Mountain, and Chang'an was very lively. The servants of the Wang family hugged the little boy and went to the teahouse to listen to the story, and the kung fu child who didn't want to turn around was lost.
It is said that old age has a son, which is a blessing from God. But now that this child is lost, he directly takes half of the king's shopkeeper's life.
The king's shopkeeper was closed for a whole month, sending people everywhere to look for him, but he didn't hear from him.
It wasn't until recently that the matter about the Cui family in Chang'an attracted the attention of the shopkeeper Wang. It is said that he is in a hurry to go to the doctor, not to mention the shopkeeper of the king who has reached the age of not being confused. But if there is a little hope, he will also struggle.
The sky was slightly bright, and the shopkeeper Wang got dressed, got into the carriage, and began to walk towards Cui's house.
There were many people like him along the way, and the shopkeeper Wang sat in the carriage and didn't bother to pay attention to others, just poked his head out to let the wind cool his swollen head.
But just as he was approaching the back door of Cui's house, the shopkeeper Wang suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure rushing out of the back door. This was originally nothing, but now the main entrance of Cui's house is blocked, and there are people entering and exiting through the back door.
Shopkeeper Wang didn't care about it at first, but when he looked at it again, he immediately realized that something was wrong. For when he saw that the man seemed to be carrying something in his bosom, the king's treasurer, whom the devil had sent to him, remembered his child.
"Shu'er?"
The shopkeeper screamed violently, which was originally just a subconscious action. But I didn't want to be at this time, a child's cry suddenly came. The voice was extremely familiar, it was the voice of the king's shopkeeper's soul returning to his dream.
"Quick, catch him!"
The shopkeeper couldn't take care of himself at this time, and almost jumped out of the carriage window. Fortunately, at this time, there were more than a dozen people coming and going on the street, and when they heard the king's shopkeeper shouting, they also swarmed around the person holding the child.
Maybe it was because of the thief's weak heart, but the man was also in a panic, and he rushed into an alley in all directions. Everyone and the servants of the Wang family also sealed the alley, and then they began to slowly approach.
The shopkeeper Wang was even more trembling and was supported by everyone and ran towards the alley, and the servants on one side were afraid that he would be in danger, so they also guarded him to the death.
"Wow~"
A loud child cry completely broke the silence of the alley. The king's shopkeeper knelt on the ground and picked up the child, and he did not let anyone come closer, but opened the cloth bag with trembling hands......
"Shu'er!"
On the other side of the wall, Song Fang was also sticking to the wall and listening to the movement of the alley. After hearing the voice of the shopkeeper Wang, he also quickly lowered his body and left.
People are humane, and rats have rats. For these homeless people, they naturally have their own doorways. Naturally, the child of the shopkeeper Wang was not taken away by the Cui family, but was abducted by the trafficker.
In other words, if it weren't for Song Fang to buy Shu'er from Zhang Po with five guan money. It is estimated that the shopkeeper Wang will never want to see his children again in his life.
Song Fang called this a double win, and they paid great hardships for this step. But after all, it was not in vain, the child was brought out of the Cui family, and dozens of people testified to this.
The lost and recovered shopkeeper Wang patted his chest and gambled on the reputation of his Wang family. The reputation of his Wang family is not valuable, but the eldest grandson family behind him is worth it.
So the anger of the people of Chang'an City was completely ignited, and those who lost their children were the first to rush forward.
The guard of honor placed by the Cui family in front of the door was directly kicked open. Hundreds of people rushed through the Cui family's mansion in an instant, and the number was still increasing.
Things have developed to this point, which is already beyond everyone's expectations. Even Li Er, who had always held a wait-and-see attitude, was taken aback. He really planned to take this opportunity to suppress the Cui family, but he definitely didn't want to do this.
After all, the Cui family is still a family of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is now inseparable from these scholars. If Li Er wants to entrap these scholars, he must treat the Cui family well, even if he wants to weaken it, he must use a righteous and bright method.
If Li Er continues to let it go and chill the heart of the scholar, then what do you let other families think? Who else wants to play for Datang in the future?
The old man of the Cui family didn't expect that the common people would really rush into the Cui Mansion, and the guard of honor that symbolized the lintel of the Cui family was also kicked to pieces.
Looking for a child?
How ridiculous is that?
How could they not have imagined that someone was deliberately guiding. But the development of things was too abrupt, and the other party chose the time when the sky was slightly bright, that is, he did not plan to give the Cui family time to react.
Jun, Zhou also; People, water too. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat.
This is Wei Zheng's original words, and the entire Tang Dynasty regards it as a classic. The Cui family is not afraid of Li Er's criticism, nor is it afraid of being coveted by the arrogant people. But it just let the people talk about it......
It happened too suddenly, and hundreds of ordinary people rushed into Cui's house. In the face of these angry people, even if the Cui family has many servants, it is useless.
Song Fang, Sun Sheng, they also mixed in the crowd. It's just that their goal is clearer, and when the Cui family was in turmoil, they directly demolished the door of the Cui family.
What is Door Flat?
That's the Cui family's face.
But now this face has become fragmented, and this door that has precipitated all the glory of the Cui family is completely shattered at Sun Sheng's feet.
He didn't feel good about it, and kicked it a few more times, kicking it directly into the street. It seems that he wants to vent all the grievances suffered by his young master.
The Cui family soon couldn't stop it, and these people were like headless flies, with no direction but rushing forward in a swarm.
In the inner courtyard of Cui's house, a group of domestic servants firmly surrounded the inner courtyard. The people here are all from the Cui family, and it happened too suddenly, and Cui Lun and the others could only hide in this inner courtyard.
As for those people of the Cui family who couldn't avoid it for a while, they were all surrounded by the people. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and even now, no one dares to do anything to the people of the Cui family.
It's just that although he didn't do anything, he was surrounded by hundreds of vicious people all of a sudden, which also scared those people of the Cui family to lose their souls.
In the inner courtyard, the old man of the Cui family looked gloomy as water. A pair of eyes filled with endless rage, almost devouring everything in front of them.
"What happened? Why did these people rush into my Cui family? The old man of the Cui family had a cold face and asked Cui Lun on the side.
In fact, the old man of the Cui family is not wrong in what he did, as long as the Cui family does not cause trouble, then after a period of time, naturally no one will mention this matter again. At that time, the Cui family will still be the Cui family, and there will be no wavering.
But his mistake was to underestimate his opponent, human nature is ignorance, and human nature is also blind. Under the guidance of Song Fang and others, the soil in which the big tree of the Cui family took root had become shaky.
The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and now it is no longer something that can be solved by resting people.
"Now it is rumored in Chang'an that my Cui family likes **, and I originally thought that this was just the other party's deliberate desecration of my Cui family. I never thought that just today, dozens of people saw someone take out a lost child from my Cui Mansion, and the people's anger was ignited, and the people broke into my Cui house. Cui Lun bowed his body and told everything back and forth.
"If you want to add sin, you will be defeated." This is the first thing that can make the old man of the Cui family admit defeat. Even if it was a gambling contract between Qin Ze and the Cui family, the old man of the Cui family was not convinced. But now that the people rushed into Cui's house, he realized that they had really lost.
He lost from the beginning, not to Li Er, nor to the people, but to Qin Ze......
The angry people broke through the front yard and back of Cui's house. But still didn't find a lost child, just when everyone wanted to give up, I don't know who suddenly said that the child of the king's shopkeeper was hidden in the Cui family ancestral hall.
At this moment, the people who were still a little shaken were encouraged again, and the group rushed towards the inner courtyard of the Cui family.
What is an ancestral hall?
If the door is the face of the Cui family, then the ancestral hall is the backbone of the Cui family, no matter which family it is, it is an absolute taboo.
But these people can't take care of so much now, and it is under this psychology that they become more unscrupulous.
Hearing the noise coming from outside the door, the old man of the Cui family couldn't sit still anymore. He pushed away the Cui family brothers who were blocking in front of him, and then directly pushed the door and walked out......
