Chapter 54: Collision (2)
Just after being hit by Xu Xun, he was holding his breath for a while, and now he was disturbed by Xu Xun's sudden arrival, and Master Xu unconsciously grabbed the edge of the table, as if he wanted to press two or three fingerprints on it. After a long time, he finally eased the evil fire under this series of interruptions, and looked around at everyone again majestically, and then stared coldly at Xu Xun in front of him.
"How dare you quibble! At the beginning, I have already made it clear that I befriended bandits, fought and seriously injured myself, and also alarmed the soldiers and horses of Nancheng to come to me for questioning. Hmph, our Xu family's face has been lost to you! ”
Without waiting for Master Xu to make up any more charges, Xu Xun, who had a calm face, suddenly interjected: "Uncle Patriarch just said that for my little thing, he actually alarmed the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, I don't know what the evidence is?" Today, all the people from the top and bottom of the Xu clan are here, why not go to the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division and invite that Commander Zhu to witness to everyone, so as to see if my Xu Xun is virtuous or unscrupulous? ”
"You ......"
Although he was prepared to encounter difficulties today, Master Xu never expected that Xu Zhen had not yet made trouble, but it was the loser he despised the most who repeatedly provoked him, and as soon as his mind turned, he slapped the table in front of him heavily: "It's against you!" In front of the elders, you only have to listen to the lessons, where is there room for you to speak! Now that your father is gone, I am not only the patriarch, but also your honorable elder, of course, I have the right to teach you a lesson! Come on, please give me the monk's dharma! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a buzzing discussion at the next head. Seeing that someone beside him had already gone to the ancestral hall to get the family method, but Xu Xun was still standing still, Master Xu only felt that the corners of his mouth, eyes and eyebrows were all trembling, and he suddenly shouted angrily: "You evil obstacle, don't kneel down for me!" ”
"Nancheng Terracotta Sizhu commanded!"
This announcement sounded almost at the same time as this sharp reprimand, and the two voices rushed together, and many people who were still looking at Master Xu just now almost all turned around to look out of the door, and the field was suddenly chaotic. Although Xu Xun, who came in first, was also an official of the imperial court, he was his own person of the Xu clan after all, so at this time, when Zhu Commander arrived, even if Master Xu was suspicious in his heart, he could only temporarily leave Xu Xun, who was still standing there motionless, and hurriedly went out with the three masters, the fourth master, and several clan elders, and even Xu Zhen also got up together.
After a while, everyone gathered around a middle-aged man and came in. I saw this person in a colorful and dark crewneck shirt, black gauze soap boots, and a bright silver belt around his waist. When Master Xu politely invited him to take a seat, he stood there and looked around with a smile, and when he saw Xu Xun standing in the center, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and then he laughed.
"No need, today is a family matter of your Xu clan, and I will say a few words this time. A few days ago, the seventh son of your family was attacked and injured, and the gang of thieves dispersed in a hurry, and there was nowhere to find them for a while. Within the southern city alone, many people have been victimized by these dogs, and many people have sued within a few days. ”
Commander Zhu paused again as he spoke, and then said as if chewing words: "That is, this matter will be closely investigated by someone, and always give your Xu family an explanation, so that Xu Qigongzi will not be bullied in vain." Just such a thing, the yamen still has important business, and this company will not stay long! ”
After saying this, Commander Zhu nodded so lightly, and turned around and left without saying a word. At this time, Jiang Yi's eyes, which no one paid attention to behind him, flashed out, but he quickly stopped Master Xu, who was going to keep Commander Zhu and ask something, because he said with a smile: "What Commander Zhu said is that the juniors in this family have been bullied by outsiders, and it is the elders in the family who are in charge, especially when Second Master Xu was so righteous and squandering money, there are so many people who have benefited from him, and now that people are not there, how can you take care of the orphans he left behind, right?" Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculed that the Xu family didn't even talk about heavenly principles and morality! ”
After saying this, seeing that Commander Zhu had already left, Jiang Yimu lost a look at Xu Xun, withdrew his hand and waved with a smile, and a few errand servants who came immediately followed, the group came and went faster, and they retreated cleanly in a moment.
However, the words of Zhu commanding Jiang Yimu and the two people just now were clear and clear, and everyone in the courtyard heard them one by one. Not to mention how Master Xu turned purple, how embarrassed and uneasy the third master and the fourth master were, even the other clansmen up and down were all uncomfortable.
Up and down the Tong clan, how many people didn't receive the benefits of Xu Bian, the second master of Xu?
Seeing Commander Zhu's arrival and speech like a heavy slap on the faces of countless people, Xu Xun's face showed a faint mocking smile. Therefore, when Master Xu almost had to rely on Xu Dong's hand to reluctantly move back to the main seat, he didn't wait for anyone to sit down, and said word by word: "Ask the patriarch uncle, nephew, this handover of bandits, so that the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division came to the door for the crime, can you still do it now?" ”
Master Xu didn't expect to do business with Changfang all the time, and Commander Zhu, who was the closest to him, stabbed himself in the back this time without warning, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that this was a smoke in his heart. At this moment, when Xu Xun opened his mouth to say such a sentence, he was so angry that his eyes were black, and there was a salty and sweet taste in his throat, so he couldn't help but be anxious when he sat down, the dull sound was nothing to other people's ears, but for himself, it was a shock to his buttocks, and even his face was a little cramped under the pain.
"Don't be too happy, you're too happy!"
Finally held back such a sentence, Master Xu leaned on the solid backrest, and Xu Dong on the side of the hand to support him used a little strength, he finally recovered from the extreme chagrin and disappointment. He didn't even notice that among the clansmen around him, except for many staunch supporters of the Changfang family, everyone else was quietly whispering to each other, just caring about moving that almost fire-breathing gaze from Xu Xun's face to Xu Xun's face.
How could a helpless loser toss this, it must be Xu Zhen who is a troublemaker!
Master Xu naturally wouldn't blindly look at Xu Zhen angrily, and after a while, he turned to the restless Master Xu San and Master Xu Si over there, and quietly made a secret gesture to Xu Dong next to him, and Xu Dong immediately retreated quietly when he saw this. At this time, Master Xu San, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, stood up with a light cough, and gently stroked the clump of black whiskers that his jaw was very well maintained.
"Xiao Qi's handover of bandits has not alarmed the government, but there is another matter that is still suspicious. You must know that the second brother's original wife has passed away for many years, and when the second brother brought Xiao Qi back, he only said that he was his son, and he didn't even leave Xiao Qi's mother's name and surname on the family tree, which was originally inconsistent. Compared with the scolding and scolding of Master Xu as soon as he came up just now, Master Xu San was unhurried this time, and his speech was extremely clear, "In the past, the second brother was just here, but now the second brother has not heard from him for many years, and this heir is the most important thing, so you can't confuse the bloodline, do you say yes?" ”
If you throw this out at the beginning, as it was arranged before, there will be people who should be reconciled. But there are too many people in the Xu clan who can look at the style, just now Xu Zhen came late to make a mistake, and then it was Commander Zhu who personally eliminated the charge for Xu Xun, and at this moment, everyone had to weigh where the limelight was going. As a result, even if Second Master Xu said it was reasonable, the person who should be below him was sparse, and he saw that Master Xu gritted his teeth more and more.
Fortunately, at this time, there was already a small servant leading a horse-faced woman up. The horse-faced woman was in her early fifties, but she was dressed in a narrow-sleeved floral shirt, and she looked very windy, and as soon as she stepped forward, she smiled and said a blessing, and it was obvious that she was a shrewd rapper. Seeing this person coming up, Master Xu felt that his heart was settled, he squinted at Xu Xun, who was as steady as Mount Tai on the side, and glanced at Xu Xun, who was standing there with a calm face, and he asked unhurriedly: "That woman, who are you?" ”
The horse-faced woman smiled and curtled her knees: "The little woman is a stable woman, that is, everyone is commonly known as a midwife. ”
"Then how many people have you delivered in your life, and you can remember them one by one?"
"The master said and laughed, the children who passed away are one hundred and eighty, how can the little woman remember so clearly? There was only one incident more than ten years ago, and the little woman could not forget it. First, the man who picked up the little woman in the past was the famous and benevolent Xu Erye, and secondly, the pregnant woman had a heavy postpartum hemorrhage, and begged Xu Erye to take care of her child, and she would definitely repay her in the next life as a cow and a horse. Second Master Xu is really a man, and he actually agreed, saying that he would raise her child as if he were his own son. ”
If it was really a teenager, if he heard this, he would at least be shocked. However, Xu Xun and his two generations were human beings, and they had already taken precautions against the vicious tricks of the Xu family envoys, and when they stood by and watched this good show, they couldn't help laughing. Xu Yu, who had caught a glimpse of the next head, frowned for a while, and he even had time to gently nod at the sixth uncle.
Master Xu didn't pay attention to Xu Xun, while secretly smug in his heart, he asked lukewarmly: "When my second brother asked you to deliver the child, what kind of recognition did you have on you?" ”
"Uh...... The little woman remembered that he had a small green mark on his elbow, and that the spin on his head was slightly to the right. The horse-faced woman just tilted her head and said with a smile, and then suddenly slapped her face again, "That's right, Second Master Xu also once said that the children of this generation in this clan are the power generation, so in front of the dying woman, I named the baby in swaddling clothes, remember...... I remember a single name Xun, shouldn't this be called Xu Xun? ”
