Chapter 166: Xie Langzhong died unjustly
The little guy slipped off his horse and pounced on Xie Zhiping's corpse: "Master, master-"
In addition to sadness, there is more fear and despair.
Shangxiang met robbers on the way back, they were all fine, the old man died, and they had to be okay!
The little guy lay down on Xie Zhiping's corpse and cried.
One of the people who came with the little guy was in charge, and when the little guy was crying uncontrollably, the steward asked with a calm face: "Dare to ask the general, how did our master get into trouble?" ”
The officers and soldiers who were asked were also confused, so they had to tell the truth: "Many people ran to the camp and said that there were robbers on the official road, and we were ordered to arrest the gangsters, and found Master Xie in the forest......
When the steward heard this, he stomped his feet again and again: "The master died unjustly!" ”
When the little girl heard this, she asked the steward with tears in her eyes, "What do you mean?" ”
The steward said with tears in his eyes: "Those robbers must have found out that the officers and soldiers were coming, killed the old man and fled." ”
The little guy was stunned for a moment, and then rushed to the front of the leading officers and soldiers, grabbed the other party's shirt and scolded angrily: "Bastard, you killed the master!" ”
The faces of the officers and soldiers at the head changed slightly, but they dared not speak out.
Of course, what he didn't dare to offend was not the subordinate of a small Langzhong mansion, but the head of the court.
Fortunately, they are the commanders of the three major battalions, and the powerful figures among the generals who are deeply trusted by the emperor, if the other party does not forgive them and forcibly counts Xie Langzhong's death on their heads, they have their own backing.
The officers and soldiers at the head still have confidence in their hearts, and they naturally will not worry about the small guy who has lost his family master.
The steward was also angry with these uninvited officers and soldiers, and asked with a cold face: "What about the villains?" ”
The officers and soldiers at the head looked embarrassed: "I haven't caught it yet." ”
"Then please catch the bandits as soon as possible, so as to comfort our lord's spirit in the sky."
"I'll do my best." The leading officers and soldiers arched their hands and led people to continue the search.
The steward's face was gloomy and urged the little servant: "Let's send the master back to the house first." ”
The little guy looked at the back of the team of officers and soldiers, and gritted his teeth with hatred: "The master was killed by them!" Those robbers just wanted money, and if they hadn't shown up, we would have ransomed the master out now. Woo woo, the old man died too unjustly......"
The group returned to Xie's mansion with Xie Zhiping's body, and Xie's wife took a look at it and fainted directly.
Next, the people turned on their backs, the crying shook the sky, and the steward accompanied Xie Zhiping's eldest son to the Han Mansion to report the funeral.
The Han Mansion and the Feng Mansion are both in Kang'an Fang, which can be regarded as close neighbors.
At that time, Feng Shangshu was walking home, and saw Xie Dalang and others hurriedly walking into the gate of the Han family.
Lao Shangshu paused, and his curiosity was aroused.
After being a close neighbor for so many years, he is more or less familiar with his relatives and friends who often come to Hanfu.
Wasn't that the eldest son of Han Shoufu's brother-in-law just now?
His eyes were okay, and he looked at Xie Dalang and the subordinates who followed behind him with red eyes, as if they were crying.
That's not unusual.
Feng Shangshu was entangled between stopping to look at the excitement and his face for a moment, and returned to Feng's mansion with a pale face.
As soon as he entered the door, Lao Shangshu instructed his subordinates: "Go out and inquire about it, and see what is going on with the Han family." ”
On the Han Mansion's side, he was taken aback when he saw Xie Dalang crying and came to the door.
Han Shoufu is not at home, and it is Han's wife who is waiting in the flower hall.
When Xie Dalang saw his wife, tears flowed: "Auntie, my father is gone!" ”
Han's wife buzzed in her head, and she stood up from her chair quickly: "What did you say?" ”
"Woo woo, my father was killed by robbers...... Xie Dalang knelt down and cried bitterly at the feet of his wife.
Han's wife shook her body, sat down, grabbed Xie Dalang's hand and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Early this morning, my father went to Wanfu Temple to offer incense, but I didn't expect to meet robbers on the way back......" Xie Dalang said while crying, "Those gangsters asked for 5,000 taels of silver, and the steward rushed there with the money, but I didn't expect the passers-by to report the news of the robbers to the Jingying guards." The guards came to catch the robbers, and they alarmed the robbers, and they killed their father and fled......"
After hearing this, Han's wife was already as pale as earth.
"Auntie, that's what the family can do......"
Listening to her nephew's cry, Han's wife's eyes turned black for a while, and she hissed: "Get the master back!" ”
Xie Zhiping is an old man, with five sisters on him, and Han's wife is the eldest sister.
From this, it can be imagined that Xie Zhiping's death will be a blow to the Xie family and Han's wife.
The subordinates of the Han Mansion hurriedly went out and went to find Han Shoufu to return home.
Han Shoufu rushed back to the mansion and was shocked to learn of his brother-in-law's death, and rushed to Xie's house with Han's wife and others.
The subordinate sent out by Feng Shangshu to inquire about the news was a clever person, knowing that it was difficult to inquire about the situation from the Han family's side, so he quietly went to the Xie Mansion, and sure enough, when he arrived, he saw many people outside the Xie Mansion Gate.
The Xie family's crying had already alarmed the neighbors.
It didn't take much effort for the subordinates to inquire about the situation, and hurriedly went back to the house to report to Feng Shangshu.
Feng Shangshu stroked his beard and listened to the gossip that his subordinates were talking about, and he was so shocked that he pulled off a beard: "Han Shoufu's brother-in-law is dead?" ”
No matter how you think about it, it's shocking.
Feng Shangshu got up and turned around, stared at his subordinates and asked, "Is the news right?" ”
"It's not wrong, someone saw Xie Langzhong being carried in with his own eyes, and Xie Fu has already begun to report the funeral everywhere......"
"You go out first." Feng Shangshu waved his hand.
After the subordinate withdrew, Feng Shangshu sat down and fell into confusion.
Cheng Guogong's old husband told him that this time his granddaughter had an accident in Xiaoqingshan, and it was inseparable from the dog surnamed Han.
And Xie Zhiping is an errand for the surname Han.
He also thought that he couldn't help but be surnamed Han for a while, and found an opportunity to use his brother-in-law to open the knife to vent his evil anger, but he didn't expect that the knife would die before he could think about which direction to fall.
It's dead!
For people like Feng Shangshu, who are up and down in the sea, grabbing a person's pigtails and dismissing him from his official position is even if he achieves his goal.
Especially before Han Shoufu fell, let alone asking for his brother-in-law's life, it was not easy to do this.
Actually died?
Feng Shangshu felt that he was in decline for a while, and after brushing off a few of his beards, he ordered his subordinates: "Go and invite the eldest girl to come over." ”
When Bai Lu heard that the people in Feng Shangshuyuan came to invite the eldest girl, her face was calm, and she almost cried when she entered the back room.
"Girl, if you secretly disguise yourself as a man and go out of the house, the maid really can't stand it."
It hasn't been a quarter of an hour since the girl came back to change her clothes, and if she came out like this from time to time, who could stand it!
The big girl covered her heart and sent Feng Cheng out of the gate of the late autumn residence.
"Grandfather, you're looking for me." A girl in a homely skirt walked in and greeted Feng Shangshu with a smile.
"Orange, come here." Feng Shangshu was in the mood to share gossip with others, and beckoned to his granddaughter.
Feng Cheng walked over and sat down, waiting for his grandfather to speak.
"What is Orange doing in the house?" It's not good to talk about Xie Zhiping as soon as he comes up, Feng Shangshu asked casually.
The girl smiled well-behaved: "It's just playing the piano and embroidering." ”
