The Liu family sent someone to call Xu Fu in the morning, and his father-in-law embarrassed him on the spot in front of his subordinates, scolded him very angrily, and called his daughter to ask Xu Fu to write a letter of resignation for the two to divorce. Where did Xu Fu dare to respond, and the Liu family also begged his father bitterly, and his father-in-law said angrily: "Shameful things, inexplicably brought back, where do you put my old face?" "The ancient literati did not value money, but they valued their own honor and integrity more than life.

At the moment, the Liu family was just crying, Xu Fu lowered his head and drooped his head, and when his father-in-law saw this, he let people blast him out, and his daughter stayed at home for the time being. As soon as Xu Fu got home, he saw a few scoundrels making trouble at the door, and immediately went up and scolded: "Who are you, presumptuous at my door? When he saw that it was Xu Fubenre, he said to her happily: "We are the people of Uncle Yihua, and we will start to move out of your house today, and watch here every day to prevent you from escaping with debts." ”

The neighbors came out to see the excitement again, Xu Fushi's face was dull, and he was very angry, so he said: "Okay, I don't have the money to pay back, so I'll move out, you let your boss come, and I'll write a transfer letter with him in the afternoon." Splashy was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent someone back to tell Yizhihua. Xu Fu returned home and gathered all the subordinates, and announced to them that he had gone bankrupt, everyone should find their own way to live, the old housekeeper cried with tears: "The old slave followed the master at the age of eighteen, and it has been more than thirty-five years now, and the young master is only in charge of the house for a long time before he will dismiss me, the old slave begs the young master to find a way to let the young grandmother come back, this matter begs the father-in-law, it will definitely be solved." ”

Xu Fu was angry in his heart, and scolded the old housekeeper: "You don't have to say much, young master, I can't protect myself now, so you better find your own way to survive as soon as possible." After that, he turned around and entered the house, and the yard suddenly cried, and the old housekeeper couldn't figure it out, how could this lord's filial piety have not yet passed like this?

Xu Longzhi has been hearing everything in the study since last night, although he is sad, but he still pretends to be calm and picks up the book and continues to study, since he can't do anything for this family, then do what he should do.

In the afternoon, Yizhihua brought someone to the door to collect Xu Fu's transfer letter, Xu Fu said to Yizhihua in a low voice: "Uncle, I can write the transfer letter to you today, but can you give me a few days to move, this person also needs time to pack up, and I also need time to find a house to rent." Do you think so? ”

Yizhihua had already learned about Liu's return to his parents' house (Mo You's news), and he was worried that he couldn't get that little lady, so he immediately said to Xu Fu: "Brother, it's not that I'm ruthless, you see that you still owe me three taels of silver, I didn't ask you, but at this moment you are prevaricating and refusing to move." Can we still get along happily in this way? After that, he took a sip of the teacup and continued: "I won't hide it from you, I know that I can't get back the money I lent you, so I have already sold this house to the Ximen officials in Xicheng, and they will come to the door to evaluate it in a while. ”

This is a bit deceitful, even if Xu Fu gives up the house, there is no reason to move on the same day, doesn't this drive them to the street? At this time, Xu Longzhi came out of the study, looked at Yizhihua and his subordinates with a fearless face and said: "You are also deceiving people too much, not to mention that the money my brother owes you has not yet reached the return date, even if you really cede this house with you, you have to wait for us to accompany you before you can let people come to see the house for valuation, how can you find someone to see the house before you give it up?" ”

Yizhihua looked at Xu Fu and asked, "Who is this child?" Then he said loudly to the younger brothers behind him: "Someone cares about it, but no one cares?" A few scoundrels behind him went up and wanted to beat Xu Longzhi, Xu Fu was about to stop him, but who knew that Xu Longzhi shouted presumptuously, and then Zhengse scolded: "You dare to beat me? Know who our family is in-law with? ”

Yizhihua got up from the chair with a smile, approached Xu Longzhi step by step, and asked him with a smile: "Damn, you are talking about it, you are in-laws with the emperor Laozi?" The splashes behind him laughed. Xu Fu then remembered his father's request when he was dying: they were in-laws with the Bohai Gao family. But over the years, I haven't seen anyone from the Gao clan walk around with my family. No one knows what kind of family this Bohai Gao is.

Xu Longzhi proudly raised his head and stared at Yizhihua without fear and said: "I'm afraid to scare you to death if I say it, now King Qi and my family are in-laws!" A branch of flowers was stunned for a moment, and after a while, a burst of laughter broke out, Xu Longzhi was wondering if he was crazy about it, this branch of flowers went up to him and punched and kicked him in the face, and scolded while beating: "Lao Tzu sees that you are crazy, why don't you say that the gods in the sky are married to your family, and what the hell is the king of Qi to press me, do you know who the king of Qi is?" You're just going to move out and scare people? Is Lao Tzu scared? ”

Seeing this, a few splashes behind him also stepped forward to beat Xu Longzhi, but this kid has a weak physique, where can he withstand the beating of these scoundrels in the market, Xu Fu saw them beat his younger brother, and only dared to persuade on the side, and after a while, a flower was tired before stopping, at this time Xu Longzhi was already lying on the ground with injuries and dying, Xu Fu cried with tears on his face: "Oh my God, is there still a royal law?" You scoundrels are too bullying. ”

At this time, there were more onlookers, and Yizhihua was afraid of attracting the official errand, so he left with people at the moment, and did not forget to threaten Xu Fu viciously when he left: "Hurry up and pour a place for Lao Tzu, if I see you here early tomorrow morning, I will beat you again." ”

The reason why a flower is unscrupulous and domineering in the suburbs of the city is that above him is the famous rich man Sun Dashan in Luoyang City, this Sun Dashan is Sun Teng's distant cousin, relying on this relationship, Sun Dashan is a bully and dominates the market, but there is a limit to everything, although Sun Teng is unwilling to talk to his cousin who is unscrupulous in Luoyang City, but he also warned him privately, don't go too far, who knows which way you will provoke the Bodhisattva this year, What if it's someone who can't even offend Sun Teng?

One is because his own bad things have not yet been resolved, and the other is that Sun Dashan also told him not to make trouble to the point of a lawsuit, and those who can threaten and intimidate in private are private, and it is really okay to meet them rather than give in, but the ones they have encountered over the years are only soft bones, and they will obediently take the money as soon as they are scared, which has fueled the arrogance of their group.

Regarding Xu Longzhi's words, Yizhihua was also half-convinced, and specially called Mo You to confront him, but Mo You also swore with him categorically that Xu Longzhi must be talking big, and he was still very clear about the details of the Xu family, so Yizhihua didn't take this matter to heart.

Xu Fu was packing up in the house, and the housekeeper outside the door came in, he was a little surprised, so he asked, "Haven't you left yet?" After a while, people will come to collect the house, you go and pack your things, otherwise you won't be able to get it back later. The old housekeeper said to Xu Fu with tears in his eyes: "Young master, the old slave has nothing of value, just two tattered clothes." Xu Fu sighed, saw two people standing behind him, and asked curiously, "Then who are these two?" ”

The old housekeeper said sadly: "Young master, don't blame the old slave, the old slave went to the young grandmother's house in the morning, and told the old father-in-law and them everything, no, the old father-in-law asked the little one to bring someone to pick you up and the second young master together." Xu Fu had mixed feelings in his heart when he heard this, and said vaguely at the moment: "The second young master was beaten, and he is lying in the bedroom at the moment and can't move, you carry him to my father-in-law's house to recuperate, I really don't have the face to see my mother and my father-in-law's family again." As soon as the old housekeeper heard that Xu Longzhi had been beaten, he hurriedly ran to Xu Longzhi's bedroom on the edge of the side hall, and saw that the second young master was angry at the moment and looked like he was about to die.

The old housekeeper stepped forward in distress and called softly: "Second young master, the old slave has come to see you, why was he beaten like this, who did it, and why?" "This Xu Longzhi usually lives in a simple house, and everyone he talks to is polite and polite, and the people in the family and the neighbors like him. It stands to reason that his character usually doesn't provoke anyone, but how could he be beaten like this? Xu Fu walked in at this time and said to him and Xu Longzhi with red eyes: "You take the second young master to my father-in-law's house to live temporarily, and the second young master will entrust you and your wife." I will leave for Yecheng tonight to join relatives, as soon as half a month or at most two months, I will definitely come back to pick you up. With that, he turned around and went out with his baggage on his back.

The old housekeeper came up and shouted, "Young master, take care all the way, go early and come back early." Xu Fu was stunned when he heard this, and then resolutely left. This is the first time he has carried the burden of his family alone, although the future is confused, there is no way back but to move forward, people are like this, only when he falls into a desperate situation will he stimulate the powerful energy in his heart.

More than ten days have passed since Xu Fu left, and no news has come back. Xu Longzhi temporarily lived in his sister-in-law's house, and the Liu family sent people over to serve him carefully every day, and gradually his body recovered, but the home in the southern suburbs had been sold to others by a branch of flowers, and it still no longer belonged to their Xu family. Xu Longzhi was really angry and wrote a petition to the Yamen of the Taishou Mansion, and the Taishou summoned the two families to one place for confrontage, but Yizhihua bribed the Taishou in advance, and when he came up, he retracted his confession and beat the plaintiff into a defendant, and Xu Longzhi was inexplicably beaten with thirty strokes.

The old housekeeper called someone to carry him back to Liu's house, and the old man Liu persuaded him to forget it, but Xu Longzhi had a stubborn temper, and he said to the old man: "If it is natural to repay debts, then bullying and dominating the market and accepting bribes should be punished, not to mention that Shangguan is mediocre and black and white, and it is really difficult for students to obey their fate." ”

So he cultivated in the Liu family for half a month, but in this half a month, a flower often brought people to the Liu family to make trouble, and in desperation, Master Liu could only persuade Xu Longzhi and the old housekeeper to leave the house, although the Liu family looked down on her father's practice, but she was a weak woman and had not much to do, so she could only take out her own little private money to the old housekeeper, and let him go to rent a house outside the city to live first, and wait for Xu Fu to come back.

Xu Longzhi and the old housekeeper could only move to the outside of the city alone and rely on each other, fortunately, the Liu family often sent people to send rice and noodles to them, but even so Xu Longzhi was still not convinced, he didn't believe that there was no Qing official in this world, so he took care of his body and wrote a petition to petition, this time to the state government Yamen to complain, listing a flower as a defendant, and Taishou accepting bribes as the second defendant. After reading the complaint, the lord of the state capital asked him: Are you filial piety or a person? Xu Longzhi replied respectfully, saying that he was still young and had not yet gained fame. The lord of the state government returned the case to the Taishou Mansion for retrial.

This is really a blood mold, Xu Longzhi originally thought that the state master could call the shots for him, but he didn't want to fall into the hands of Taishou and Yizhihua in the end, this time Taishou was a heavy punishment on him, he was beaten to death, and he was put in prison, Yizhihua sent people into the prison to bully and beat Xu Longzhi every day, and in a few days, this Xu Longzhi was dying and was about to die, and Taishou was afraid of making a fuss, so he asked Yizhihua not to beat him again.

In the dungeon on this day, Taishou took his men to see Xu Longzhi, he covered his mouth and nose and asked angrily: "Young Master Xu, it's almost enough, if you promise me not to sue me in the future, I will let you out, otherwise...... Hum. The old housekeeper happened to be on the side, so he begged Taishou and said, "Master, don't worry, my young master will never sue me, you will pity us." Taishou looked at Xu Longzhi in the cell, Xu Longzhi was already struggling to speak at the moment, raised his hand weakly, and fainted again. So Taishou said: "Okay, as long as you go back and be honest and don't sue in the future, the master will let you out." The old housekeeper hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Taishou, and kept saying, "Thank you, sir, thank you." (To be continued.) )
