Chapter 09 Punishment of Slaves
After the Mu family's eldest and youngest ransomed themselves for the Qinglou woman, Black Dragon City finally sounded another thunderclap.
The Mu family not only ransomed the woman in the green house with red sleeves, but also bought an attic for her in the west of the city as a place to live.
This incident suddenly caused a storm in the city. You said you don't plot against the other party, why are you investing like this?
There is even a rumor in Yicui Building, saying that the red sleeves have been good with the Mu family for a long time, and they have long been secretly knotted, and now the Mu family is just buying the attic to support the red sleeves.
As soon as this rumor came out, it immediately panicked Yicuilou, and there was no need for the Mu family to come to the door. Yi Cuilou himself found out the person who spread the rumors.
It turned out to be the personal maid of the red sleeves.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Mu family who heard the news sat on the street outside Yicui Building, and the shopkeeper of Yicui Building personally pressed the maid to Mu Tong.
"Get on your knees!"
The shopkeeper of Yicuilou Xing pressed directly on the shoulder of this maid, and immediately pressed her to the ground with her feet weak and fell to her knees.
Mo Qing's eyes flashed, and he glanced at the shopkeeper Xing intentionally or unintentionally. Stand in front of Mu Tong.
"Dare to be a slave, dare to slander my young master. He even insulted my young master's teacher and accused him of innocence. A few days ago, my young master was kind enough to redeem himself for you, but your evil servant deceived the master, so my young master ordered me to send you back. But unexpectedly, you are a thief, and you dare to frame my young master and ruin the reputation of my young master and his teacher. You are convicted!"
In the face of Mo Qing's stern questioning, the maid did not repent, refused to admit it, and even said that the Mu family framed her. didn't know that her defense made the onlookers disdainful. With the Mu family's wealth in Black Dragon City, do you still need to be framed to deal with a lowly subordinate of yours? I'm afraid you don't have a misunderstanding of the majesty of the family, right?
"Well, since you don't admit it. The shopkeeper Xing took the deed of sale that day. I'll add another fifty taels to make you a hundred taels. I bought it for my young master. Deed of Sale to me!"
Shopkeeper Xing didn't say a word, and directly took out the maid's deed of sale from his cuffs and handed it to Mo Qing.
"See, your deed of sale is in my possession. Now I will beat you to death with a stick on the charge that you have committed the crime of framing your master, and you will accept it?"
"No! I don't accept it! No! I confess my guilt, please, don't kill me!"
Looking at the maid who finally panicked, Mu Tong bent down and looked down at her. Said solemnly.
"I Mu Tong does things, pays attention to the distinction between grievances and grievances, and has evidence. The girl in the red sleeves and I are just a teacher-student friendship. I learned the piano from him for more than half a year. I swear I have never offended my teacher in the slightest. There is no thought of anything wrong. Everything that is done is reasonable. Now that you're framed up with me, I don't care. At most, it's just a clarification. But you insulted the innocence of my teacher, and ruined his reputation more than his life. How can I tolerate you? I have spoken to you so that you may understand. Mu Tong can be humiliated, Mu Tong Master can not be humiliated! Mo Qing, move the punishment!"
"Yes, young master. Come on, drag it down and beat it to death!"
"No! spare your life, Young Master Mu...... Spare ......"
Bang a few times, and the subordinates who shot with all their strength directly beat the maid to death. Mo Qing said to the officials who came to witness on the side: "Li Zhutou, you can understand the case. The deed of sale is up to you, so please take the body away. ”
Li Zhutou did not accept the deed of sale, but said with a smile: "Mo Ye's words are serious, but if an evil servant eats the master, the rod will be killed." Naturally, I'll go back to the top. There is no need to file a case. ”
Mu Tong stood up and stopped Li Zhutou's words with a wave of his hand.
"There is no need for this, my Mu Fu is standing upright, and it is still necessary to file a case. You can't break the rules. In the future, if anyone wants to avenge her, just overturn the case. ”
Li Zhutou sneered and said: "How dare you, where would anyone stand up for such an evil servant." The eldest young master laughed. I took my leave under it. ”
Li Zhutou led the people away, and at the same time took away the corpse of the maid who spread rumors. As for whether the rumors were done by the maid or Yi Cuilou, Mu Tong didn't care. As long as you show your attitude, no one will die again.
[Alas, it's hard to be a man, it's even harder to be a good person, and it's even more difficult to be a good person like a gentleman, Xiao Gu. 】
Mu Tong got up, saluted the people around him, and thanked him gently: "Today, you have to thank you for witnessing the truth of the rumors and the truth of the rumors, clearing up your grievances for you, and returning justice to my teachers and students." ”
"Young Master Mu is serious!"
"Where, where, but it's just a gesture!"
The crowd responded enthusiastically, as if they had done a lot of work and how much credit they had made.
Walking out of the encirclement of the crowd with the servant, Mo Qing scolded in a disdainful voice: "What's it, one by one, waiting to see our young master's jokes, but now he licks his face to respond to the young master's salute, it's not a thing, I don't know how much credit they really have!"
Mu Tong smiled absently, and knocked the folding fan in his hand on Mo Qing's head.
"You, why are there so many things. Those who are clear are self-purifying, and how others think of the young master and me is up to them. I'm not mad at you. Where do you have so many tempers, it seems that you are copying less books. ”
"Hmph, young master, aren't you angry? Then I'm angry for you. ”
"Do I need you to be angry with me? Do I need you to visit Mr. Red Sleeves for me?"
"Young master, people are no longer called Red Sleeves, their original name is Li, and their name is Yuanhong. ”
"Li Yuanhong? This name is a bit special. ”
"Who says it's not, Yuanhong is one of the top ten famous swords. ”
"Poof, how do you know?"
Thirty years ago, Su Mubai, a sword saint of the Shengwu Kingdom, swept the Heavenly Sword Sect of the First Rank Sect of the Holy Martial Kingdom with one sword, and was finally besieged by more than a dozen people of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Supreme Elder, the head of the sect, the Dharma protector, and the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect. His sword at that time was Yuanhong. It's just that later, the Heavenly Sword Sect invited the peerless sect Saint Heavenly Palace to take action, and the two major sects surrounded and suppressed the Sword Saint, which made a generation of Sword Saints disappear. Some say he's dead, some say he's deposed, some say he's incognito. Since then, Yuanhong's whereabouts are unknown. ”
"Stop, stop, I'm just asking for a name, what are you talking about so many martial arts things. Let's go, let's see Li Shi go. ”
"Young master, will you be gossiped about when you come to the door now?"
"I have no shame in my heart, and I am not afraid of gossip. Li Shi must be sad at this time, if I don't solve it, if she can't think about it for a while, what should I do if I find a short sword. Don't let this gossip kill her. ”
"This, young master, are you thinking a little too much? I don't think Miss Li is such a fragile person. ”
"You don't understand, Mo Dao's rumors don't hurt people, just because you are not a caring person. You're not Master Li, how do you know that she doesn't care?"
"This ...... Master, I can't talk about you. ”
"Then you don't have to keep up. ”
Mu Tong strode forward, leading the scholar Mo Qing to blend into the flow of people in the direction of returning to Mu Mansion.
