Chapter 23: Meng Ping Visits the Outer Third Room
Gu's old An who was in the third room outside the Gu family was beaten.
Hearing the news, the whole Suiping was shaken.
Lao An has been widowed for decades, and pulled Gu Ligong's belly out of swaddling clothes, and she is one of the best virgins in Suiping. Who doesn't know that Gu Weihong is very good at reading, and he doesn't take the exam because he doesn't dare to travel far after him. Such a person was actually hit and killed by Gu Weisheng with a carriage, how can it not be distressing?
But the hateful thing is yet to come!
In order to prevent Lao Anren from going to Runing Mansion to complain, Gu Weisheng sent his family to stop on the road and beat Lao Anren. If it weren't for the clansmen secretly following behind the Lao An people, I was afraid that the Lao An people would really be killed.
Gu Mengping was extremely surprised when he knew about this.
first killed someone's son, and then beat someone's mother. Didn't Gu Weisheng know that the old patriarch would definitely send someone to follow Lao Anren, on the one hand, to find an opportunity to dissuade her, and on the other hand, to secretly protect her.
How could he be so stupid?
When Gu Shaohua and Gu Xingyun brought him the news that Gu Weihong's wife You had hanged herself, Gu Mengping was even more stunned on the spot.
Why is this happening?
When a small person encounters a big person who has no way to resist, can he only use death to express his anger, and can only use death to seek justice?
Actually, there are other solutions.
Death is not necessary.
For the first time in his life, he was self-motivated. He must be an official and seek justice for the little people in the world.
Don't leave them unprotected.
For the first time in his life, he had the heart to protect the people.
Gu Mengping looked at Gu Wei, the uncle of Dongfu, and the more anxious he became, he stepped into the courtyard of the old patriarch, followed by a few subordinates holding gift boxes, and lowered their eyelids slightly.
He knew that Gu Weisheng would be safe and sound this time.
It's not that the old patriarch refuses to seek justice for the old people, but that this justice can't be sought.
For the sake of the Gu family's reputation, Gu Weiyue will definitely try his best to suppress this matter, and he will not allow anyone or anything to affect the current situation. Lord Dong was imprisoned, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. If the Gu family's murder case spreads, it will make the Gu family's situation even worse.
However, who would pity Lao Anren's pain of losing his son and daughter-in-law?
Gu Weiyu stood in front of Gu Weisheng, his face was blue with anger, and his chest fell together, "You dare to hide it from me?" How dare you? If it weren't for the fact that someone didn't know about this matter and report it to me, you would still be in the dark? This is a matter of human life, if you don't make a mistake, you will pay for Gu Weihong's life! How dare you hide it, how dare you send someone to beat Lao Anren? I sent gifts to the third room outside, but as soon as Lao An heard who I was, he wouldn't even let me in the door! Tell me, when have I been humiliated like this? When has my Gu Weiyu been humiliated like this? Can't even get through someone else's door? ”
Gu Weisheng looked even angrier than him, pointing at the few subordinates holding gifts, his face turned red, "What are our identities?" What is the identity of the outer three rooms? You're going to beg them all the way down? The faces of the East and West have been lost by you. ”
Hearing this, the old patriarch who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep opened his eyes wide, his eyebrows trembled, and then he slowly closed his eyes.
"You bastard!" Gu Wei was furious, "Do you know that the third prince is missing?" Do you know that our Gu family was involved in the disappearance of the third prince this time? Did you know that I was forced to resign and return home for this matter? Did you know that Boyo lost even the opportunity to go to school because of this? Do you know ......" he said this, but was interrupted impatiently by Gu Weisheng.
"Speaking of which, it's all your Dongfu trouble? If it weren't for your father-in-law who pushed the three princes into the Jinshui River, how could these things happen later? Gu Weisheng sneered and sneered, "To put it bluntly, it's your East Mansion that has affected our West Mansion, why are you talking about our West Mansion again?" ”
When Gu Weiyue heard this, he only felt that his chest was churning and his throat was fishy. His father-in-law suffered a lot from Miki in the edict prison, and he also gritted his teeth and said that he had never pushed the third prince. Where did you think that in Gu Weisheng's mouth, it would become like this?
Didn't Gu Weisheng know that this was a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the clan?
"I'm just hitting someone, and I've handed over the driver, what else am I going to do? Why don't you have to sue the official if you don't forgive? He doesn't care about the faces of our eastern and western mansions and clans, why can't I stop her? Gu Weisheng sneered, "Isn't it just for a few taels of silver?" Why don't you offer a price for the outer three rooms? See if it's one or two hundred or two hundred? Can we afford this money in Xifu? He showed an expression on his face that he would pay them back for a hundred taels of silver.
"Gu Weisheng? You bastard! How many rooms do we have outside? ”
There was an angry rebuke from the courtyard, followed by the sound of fists and kicks and dissuasion.
Gu Xingyun and Gu Shaohua were even more angry, and when they came to the study to find Gu Meng, they had irrepressible anger on their faces.
Gu Shaohua frowned and said, "Meng Ping, Xingyun and I plan to buy some gifts to see Lao Anren, do you want to redeem a molecule?" ”
Gu Mengping hurriedly said: "Naturally!" When he was about to take out the silver, his movements stopped abruptly, and his face hesitated, "I think it's better for this molecule not to redeem?" Lao Anren she ......"
Gu Xingyun was short-tempered, and without waiting for him to finish speaking, he straightened his neck and said, "It's just a few dozen copper plates, what if you don't have the money, I'll pay for you?" Pushing back like a. If I knew that you were such a person, how could I have fellowship with you? ”
Hearing this, Gu Mengping couldn't cry or laugh, and explained: "You fool, have you forgotten who my father is? If I let the people know my identity, how will I accept the gift? I mean, why don't I buy a gift with my own money, and not put it with your brothers, and then I will come to the door with the gift myself, and you won't be blamed! ”
Hearing him explain like this, Gu Xingyun laughed twice and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Gu Shaohua glanced at Gu Xingyun sideways, and said, "Since this is the case, then it is decided, Xingyun and I will go to buy gifts immediately, what about you?" ”
Gu Mengping thought about it and said, "Naturally, the sooner the better, and I'm ready to go now." If you meet me in the outer three rooms, you can just pretend that you don't know me, so as not to cause trouble. ”
The three brothers were speechless for a while, and each went to prepare a gift.
After they went out, a young man with a panicked expression came from outside the main courtyard.
When he heard the porter say that the three young masters were all going out, and the old patriarch would not allow anyone to enter the door, Gu Zhongkang's face turned even paler.
"How could Daddy do such a thing? Human lives are at stake, these are two lives! No...... No...... Someone must have framed Daddy......" Gu Zhongkang muttered in his mouth, leaving in a trance.
The porter looked at Gu Zhongkang's back, glanced back in the direction of the upper room, and shook his head helplessly.
At this time, Gu Mengping, holding the tricolor salute, walked towards the south of the city.
Unlike the east and west mansions of the Gu family, one in the east and the other in the west, the outer houses are all clustered in the south of the city. Most of the houses here are low tiled and mud houses, and there are few courtyards with a few entrances.
Gu Mengping inquired as he walked south.
When passers-by heard that he was going to the third room outside Gu's house, they enthusiastically instructed him, and some even took his hand and cried bitterly.
It can be seen that the people in the outer three rooms are popular in the south of the city.
After being instructed, Gu Mengping stopped in front of a small alley called Liangbang Lane.
This alley was originally called Huaishu Hutong, but later because Gu Ligong and Gu Weihong and his son were successively lifted, it was changed to Liangbang Alley.
At this time, the alley was full of people, and everyone had a solemn and painful look on their faces. There were also a few people dressed as scholars and scholars, who were talking about something passionately.
Seeing Gu Mengping standing at the entrance of the alley wearing monk's clothes, a warm-hearted person soon stepped forward.
"Who is the little master looking for? Where do people come from? "The person who spoke to him was a neighbor of Waisanfang, surnamed Wei Xingsan.
"Xiao, but I'm here to find Lao An." Gu Mengping didn't dare to say his true identity, so he bowed down and gave a Buddhist salute.
Seeing that he was wearing monk's clothes but performing Buddhist rituals, and calling himself Xiao Ke, Wei San guessed that he might be a novice from a family who had come to do things for Gu Weihong's family, so he warmly greeted him in the alley.
"Little Master, you don't know, as soon as the temple in the county heard that it was the three rooms outside the Gu family who went to invite people, they didn't dare to come. Our neighbors went to several temples, but we didn't invite a monk to do the work. Seeing that it was about to be seventeen, I couldn't even build a spiritual shed...... Fortunately, God knew the suffering of the outer third room, and sent the little master here......" Wei San sighed as he greeted him inside.
At this moment, Jia Mu sent guests out of the courtyard, and when he saw Wei San leading a person dressed in monk clothes, he didn't care about the guests around him, so he knelt down with a puff.
"Ask the little master to preside over the Dharma for my father and mother! I, Gu Jiamu, will make grass rings, cattle and horses in the future, and I will repay your great kindness. As she spoke, she kowtowed three times.
Gu Mengping was stunned for a moment, and his face became strange.
