Chapter 8: Beauty and the Beast

was so squeezed by the ministers, Zhu Cheng no longer had the heart to stay in the capital, and the next day he took his people to live in Jingxi Huangzhuang.

Because of the large number of people and the lack of carriages, the hundred brocade guards, guards, and craftsmen were all on foot, and the progress was quite slow.

Although they had already made preparations, and there were thick cushions in the carriage of the carriage, Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youzhen were still choked enough. After sitting for half an hour, Zhu Cheng said: "Ah Jian, I really can't stand it, get out of the car and go." ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't answer, he was a man of action, asked the driver to stop the car, and jumped off. Zhu Youzhen smiled: "Brother Cheng, I have long wanted to come down, I am afraid that you will say that I will not enjoy it, so I am embarrassed to say it." ”

Zhu Cheng jumped out of the car and said, "Ah Jian, we live for ourselves, not for others to watch, so we don't have to care what others think many times." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded as if he didn't understand. At this time, Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, Wan Hu, Feng Menglong, Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun and others saw the two get out of the car, and also got out of the car and followed.

Xu Guangqi said: "Master Zhu, this road is really difficult to walk. ”

Feng Menglong said: "The harvest in Huangzhuang is not good, and this road is also abandoned. ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "Otherwise, let's build this road." ”

Feng Menglong said: "I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to build roads." ”

Xu Guangqi usually pays more attention to the income of the children's park, he pointed to Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Cheng, Wang Chengen, and Cao Huachun and said: "They are all the richest people in the Ming Dynasty, and there is a little leakage between their fingers, don't say one road, ten roads are enough." ”

Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun subconsciously covered their pockets and said in unison: "It's not good, it's not good, these are all hard-earned money saved by our family's frugality." ”

Zhu Cheng said with a smile: "Don't move your money, don't touch my and Ajian's money, the children's paradise has extra money, it's enough to build a house and build a road." ”

Feng Menglong said: "It's easy to build roads, but it's hard to maintain." The next time it rains, you have to fix it once. ”

Wan Hu said: "Lord Feng doesn't know, the children's paradise has developed cement, smeared on the ground, after a few days, after the cement is dry, it is harder than a rock, not afraid of wind and rain." ”

Feng Menglong said: "Is the cement Sanhe soil, I heard that the Sanhe soil is very hard, but the price is too expensive, will it be too luxurious to pave the road with Sanhe soil." ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "Cement is not triad soil, as long as the cement, sand and gravel are mixed together and stirred, after a few days, it will condense, the hardness is no less than that of triad soil, but it is more labor-saving and labor-saving than triad soil." ”

Feng Menglong was shocked: "There is such a good thing, I must visit it when paving the road." ”

While chatting, Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youzhen appeared in front of the village in a circle of people, is this something serious? The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the raging fire of gossip burning in each other's eyes, and rushed over.

Squeezed into the crowd, I saw two wooden stakes standing inside, one of which was tied to a beautiful woman with picturesque eyebrows, and the other was tied to a young man with clear eyebrows but a little too heavy fat and powder. A man of five big and three thick men stood in front of the stake with a leather whip in his hand, pointing at the two and scolding.

Listening to the man's scolding and the discussion of the onlookers, Zhu Cheng understood what was going on. It turned out that this girl was the younger sister of the man, because she was very beautiful, and the family asked for a high bride price, so she had been in the boudoir. And the young man was a down-and-out scholar who lived here and became a teacher in the Han family, teaching the son of the Han. Unexpectedly, a year later, the scholar hooked up with the girl and became adulterous, and this is the scene in front of him.

Zhu Youzhen said: "This man should be killed, and he will be guilty of violating the master's young lady." ”

Zhu Cheng smiled: "Ah Jian, how do you know if this is an unjust case?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Brother Cheng, what do you see, tell me quickly." ”

"Pay attention to the eyes of the two men. Generally speaking, if two people have feelings, they will look at each other's eyes with affection. You see the girl's eyes looking at the scholar, very plain, just like looking at ordinary people. And the scholar's eyes when he looked at the girl were full of anger. ”

"I can't see it."

Zhu Cheng smiled secretly in his heart, you can see that there are ghosts, you are only 1o years old this year, where do you know so many human accidents. If I hadn't been a criminal police officer in my thirties before I was reincarnated, I wouldn't have been able to see it.

"Then let me ask you, how did two women hook up and commit adultery?"

"You said that the scholar is a woman dressed as a man?"

"Look, what is the difference between that scholar's neck and a man's?"

"I can't see it."

"Men have throat joints on their necks, but women don't. Also, look at that scholar, doesn't he look very thin? ”

"Yes, yes, a standard weak scholar."

"Don't you think his chest muscles are a little bigger than a thin man?"

"Brother Cheng, do you mean ......?"

"He must have wrapped a cloth strap around his chest, but his chest was too big to tie it evenly."

There was a "snap", but the more the big man spoke, the more angry he became, and he whipped the scholar. When the whip went down, he saw blood, and the scholar screamed in pain, and his body twisted and writhed.

Zhu Youzhen's sense of justice was violent, and he rushed up and shouted: "Stop!" ”

After speaking, he looked back at Zhu Cheng with a weak heart, and saw that Zhu Cheng gave him a thumbs up, knowing that he approved of his behavior, so he looked at the big man with confidence.

Seeing that he was dressed luxuriously, the big man knew that he had a great background, and he didn't dare to underestimate him, so he asked, "Why did the little boy stop me?" ”

"Is there any misunderstanding here?"

"My sister has a big belly, can she still have a fake?"

Zhu Youzhen took a look, and sure enough, the woman's belly bulged slightly, and it seemed that she was already pregnant.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Then you must have misunderstood, because this scholar is a woman dressed as a man, how can a woman violate your sister?" ”

The crowd was in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.

"Really? I'll check it. ”

After Dahan finished speaking, he stepped forward and prepared to tear the young scholar's clothes. The young scholar wanted to dodge back, but he was tied to a stake and couldn't move.

Zhu Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to stop it, when he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Stop!" ”

Zhu Cheng looked back, but it was Feng Menglong. It turned out that it was not only Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youzhen who were happy to join in the fun, but also the adults, they all came.

Feng Menglong stepped out of the crowd and said, "This scholar is a woman, if you step forward to tear other people's clothes, do you want her reputation?" ”

Dahan was stunned: "What should I do then?" ”

Feng Menglong said: "Is there a stable woman in the village, just find a stable woman to test." ”

The big man shouted at the crowd: "Wang Po, Wang Po, come out and do a favor." ”

An old woman with gray hair came out and said, "Here, let's get rid of people." ”

Dahan said: "Can't you test it here?" Untie it down, what if he runs away? ”

Wang Po said: "She is a woman, just here to test, can she still live?" ”

Feng Menglong stepped forward quickly, and while helping the scholar untie the rope, he said, "If she runs away, you can settle accounts with me." ”

Wang Po and the scholar entered a small house next to it, and after a while they came out, and Wang Po loudly announced that the scholar was really a girl.

The big man was furious, rushed to the stake and pointed at the tied girl and scolded: "Slut, if you want to live, point out the adulterer!" ”

The girl closed her eyes and ignored her.

The big man glared angrily, raised the whip and wanted to whip her, but put it down, stomped his feet, raised the whip again, and whipped it down. The girl's body shook a little, but she didn't even hum.

"Wait," Zhu Cheng shouted, "I think I've found the adulterer." ”

Dahan turned around, looked at Zhu Cheng, and asked eagerly, "Who is that rabbit cub?" ”

Before the girl closed her eyes, Zhu Cheng keenly realized that she seemed to say goodbye to someone with her eyes. Following his eyes, he saw an acquaintance - it was Qiu Qiu, who was supposed to testify against his perfume murder. Zhu Cheng almost couldn't believe his eyes, because Qiu Qiu was not ugly, but quite ugly, why would this fairy-like girl take a fancy to him? Originally, he didn't want to say it, but in order to save the girl, he had to fight. Anyway, this begging for the ball is not a good person, and it is nothing to deduct a basin, at most, he is wrong, and he will be paid a piece of silver.

Seeing Zhu Cheng's hand pointing at him, he didn't refute it, but knelt down to Dahan and said: "Uncle Chen, Miss and I really love each other, it doesn't matter if you kill me, you must spare Miss's life." ”

Everyone was in an uproar again, this is too unsuitable, it's just Beauty and the Beast.

As mentioned in the book, in fact, Miss Chen's adultery with Qiu Qiu is really related to scholars. It turned out that Miss Chen had rarely come to propose marriage because the bride price was too high. It's been twenty years since I came and went, and the girl's heart sprouted and she fell in love with the scholar. begging for a ball, he pretended to be a scholar, and became a good deed with the young lady on a dark and windy night. Afterwards, Miss Chen was now deceived by Qiuqiu, but the rice had already been drunk, and with the sweet words of Qiuqiu, she had no choice but to admit it.

Where did the big man know the inside story, and shouted: "I can't spare you today, I cut you first, and then drag the adulteress to the pig cage." ”

Zhu Cheng said: "Slow, this begging ball has an old relationship with me, since things are already like this, it is better for you to give your sister to him, and the enemy will become a family." At most, I pay double the bride price. ”

Dahan thought about it for a long time, and finally stomped his feet and agreed.

Qiu Qiu hugged Zhu Cheng's leg and cried: "Lord Guo, benefactor." From now on, I will repay the adults with the ball, as long as the adults say the east, I will never live in the west. ”

After the girl untied it, she said a blessing to Zhu Cheng and said: "The folk girl Chen Qi Xie is a life-saving grace, and in the future, she will be a cow and a horse for the adult, and she will tie the grass ring." ”

When he left the village, there were three more people in the team, two of them were naturally Chen Qi and Qiu Qiu, and the other was the young scholar. Feng Menglong seemed to care about the scholar and asked him to sit in the same carriage as him.

Zhu Youzhen didn't have a good impression of Qiuqiu, and asked Zhu Cheng quietly: "Brother Cheng, what are you doing to save people like Qiuqiu?" ”

Zhu Cheng said: "I'm not here to save the ball, but to save Miss Chen and the child in her womb." If we sit idly by today, with the character of a big man, Miss Chen's life will definitely be in danger. Besides, I have been an orphan and know the suffering of orphans, so I can't let Miss Chen's son have no father as soon as he comes out. ”

Zhu Youzhen pouted and said, "But I always see that he is not pleasing to the eye, can you drive him away?" ”

Zhu Cheng laughed and said, "Ah Jian, in my eyes, there are only officials who can't use people, and there are no people who can't be used." Don't look at Qiu Qiu's ruffian, this time he will take back the Huangzhuang, maybe he can still play a big role. ”
