Chapter 78: Put the Seal Money
After the words fell, he returned to Qiwu Courtyard without hesitation, and when the few people behind wanted to keep up, the guards of the General's Mansion stood in front of them.
This sleep, and when Junchen woke up again, it was already late.
Seeing that his eyes were misty with the fog that he had just woken up, Zhou Shiren sighed: "After you fell asleep, they really fought." ”
Jun Chen raised his eyes to look at him: "What is the result?" ”
"Do you need to ask? Jiang You is your personal disciple, no matter how bad it is, it is better than a showman, don't you see how funny Chen Sansi is with a big flower face with a blue nose and swollen face, I think, he can't entangle you anymore for at least half a month. ”
Speaking of the back, Zhou Shiren couldn't help laughing.
I have to say that Jiang You's actions won his heart very much, and he shot mercilessly, and as soon as he made a move, he was thunderous and violent, only beating the delicate and expensive His Royal Highness the Third Prince into east, west, north and south.
With such a profound lesson, I am afraid that next time Chen Sansi will not even dare to climb the gate of the Jun's Mansion.
A faint smile also appeared on Jun Chen's lazy face, he hummed, and commented pertinently: "Good job." ”
"It's not good, it's just outstanding."
Zhou Shiren paused, and seeing that he had expected it, he asked suspiciously: "Did you secretly tell Jiang You something behind my back?" ”
Jun Chen had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said gently: "If you want to blame, you can only blame the third prince for being unruly, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Chen Sansi has a stubborn temperament and often does things that ordinary people cannot understand.
And Jiang You has been depressed recently, it is the most irritable time, he just made a look by the way for Jiang You to experience it.
Zhou Shiren believed that he had a ghost: "Speaking of which, you are taking revenge on the rumors from the outside world that arose because of Chen Sansi." ”
People said that there was an indescribable relationship between him and Chen Sansi, so he secretly supported his apostles to beat people half to death.
Sure enough, he refused to suffer at all.
……
Recently, the Xie family had a happy event, Xie Meng's eldest brother married a wife, and all the young children who can speak on Sanju Street can get a small bag of joy candy as long as they say a few auspicious words.
The happy team of greeting relatives took to the streets, and the sound of gongs and drums spread throughout the streets and alleys.
The bride sat in the carriage with joy, and the matchmaker shouted outside the carriage with a happy face.
Xie Meng's brother Xie Xiang rode a high-headed horse to welcome his new wife, and he was full of spirit.
I thought it was a great fortune in life, but who would have thought that an accident would suddenly happen here, and more than a dozen people suddenly appeared on both sides of the street, not to mention disrupting the wedding procession, and pulling the groom off on a tall horse.
The entire orientation team was in chaos, and Xi Po also screamed loudly.
"Bold Xie Xiang, someone accused you of putting money outside and killing you for money, and I was ordered to arrest you and return to the yamen!"
A group of officers and soldiers walked quickly from a distance, and unexpectedly handcuffed Xie Xiang, all of them full of anger.
The bride, who had been sitting quietly in the carriage, suddenly lifted the curtain and walked out by herself, and the red hijab had long since fallen to the ground at some point.
Xi Po was anxious, and called repeatedly: "Hey, my bride, this person hasn't arrived at her husband's house yet, how can you go to the ground, the meaning is not good!" ”
Where can the bride care about anything else, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Xie Xiang worriedly, and reluctantly smiled at the officers and soldiers: "Did the officials misunderstand?" My husband has always been self-denying and law-abiding, how can he go out and put money in Yinzi? ”
The officers and soldiers looked cold: "Whether there is a misunderstanding still needs to be investigated before we can find out, but today, you can't get married here!" ”
The wedding team was chaotic, the bride got off the ground, and the surrounding people also sighed as if they were laughing.
Xie Xiang was in a state of confusion, and in the face of his wife's earnest gaze, he barely calmed down and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'll go with them." ”
The bride was anxious and interceded with the officers and soldiers: "Today is our big day, can you take a break, let the two of us pay homage to the church, and then let him go with you to be investigated?" ”
The officers and soldiers sneered: "After the investigation, I'm afraid you won't be able to worship this class!" Get out of the way of me, and if you say one more thing, I'll arrest you all for obstructing official business. ”
As soon as the words fell, the officers and soldiers opened the way in front.
The crowd automatically made way for them, and no one dared to stop them.
After Xie Xiang was taken away, the people looked at the bride standing alone in the middle of the street and pointed.
"What a happy event, how did it come to be?"
"The people of the Yamen have always done things reasonably, and they must have done it after they found it out."
"Yes, if you want to talk about me, if the groom official really puts the money outside, it doesn't matter if this girl doesn't marry. Anyway, the sedan chair has not passed the door, and everything has not yet been decided. ”
"Yes, since ancient times, people who put in the money have not ended well, how can a girl from a good family jump into the fire pit?"
Xie Meng, who was hidden in the crowd, saw that the situation was wrong, so he raised his feet and ran to Xie's house at the end of the street.
Before returning home, the old man of the Xie family seemed to have learned the news in advance and ran out of the door together.
"Dad, mother! Something big happened to my brother! ”
Father Xie stumbled on his feet and almost fell: "What's wrong with your brother?" ”
Mother Xie supported Father Xie steadily, and asked urgently: "Didn't you go with your brother's team to welcome your relatives, why did you come back alone?" ”
Xie Meng gasped twice, his eyes were slightly red, and he choked up: "The people in the government said that my brother put the money in the seal, and he just arrested the people. ”
The appearance of not listening to explanations makes a good thing become a bad thing.
The worst guess came true, Father Xie slammed his forehead, and rebuked angrily: "This unfilial son! ”
Although the two old men were worried, they were not as shocked as Xie Meng imagined.
Xie Meng was stunned, his eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "Daddy, you already know about your brother's money?" ”
Seeing that more and more people were gathering outside the door, Father Xie sighed worriedly: "Let's go home and talk about it." ”
Looking at the lonely back of the Xie family's family of three, the neighbors couldn't bear it.
turned to think that the Xie family Dalang was killing people by putting Yinzi money outside, and the unbearable in his heart also faded.
It's a pity that the old man of the Xie family has been kind all his life, and he gave birth to such an uncompetitive child, not only can he not win glory for the family, but also discredit the family.
The family walked to the backyard and locked the door.
The guests who came to drink the wedding wine left one after another, and Father Xie sent the guests away one by one with apologies, and the gifts they carried were also not left, so people took them all back.
In the lobby where red silk wedding lanterns are hung, the wicks of the dragon and phoenix candles burn with a slight 'snort' sound.
Xie Meng looked dull, and waved his sleeve to extinguish the candlelight.
Father Xie sat on a high seat in a bright red wedding dress, his gray hair was extremely gray against the backdrop of Xitang, and his expression was even more disappointed: "We have long known that your brother is putting Yinzi money outside, and we have also told him that he promised us not to do it, but who would have thought that this matter would break out today." ”
Mother Xie hid her face and cried: "What can I do about this?" Today is supposed to be your brother's big day. ”
Xie Meng's heart was in turmoil, and he wanted to comfort them, but he didn't know what to say, facing the powerlessness of his parents and Xie Xiang's indulgence, which led to today's evil consequences.
"The most important thing right now is to find a way to get my brother out."
Mother Xie cried louder and louder: "How to save it? We can't do anything about it now! According to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, anyone who puts money in the seal without permission will be exiled for thousands of miles, and at worst he will be beheaded! ”
The atmosphere of helplessness has been spreading in the happy hall, and Father Xie sighed heavily, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't think of any way to save him.
Xie Meng's words made Xie Meng sweat coldly when she heard this, and the mention of beheading made her think of the headless corpse she had experienced.
Xie Meng grabbed Xie's mother's hand, as if grasping the last straw, and said urgently: "Daddy, remember what I told you before?" Let's go to Aunt Ma, although Grandpa Ma is no longer an official in the court, but he has been in the court for many years, and his connections must be wider than ours, we can beg Grandpa Ma to help us in the past. ”
"Confused!" Father Xie scolded in a low voice: "Don't you know what kind of situation it is now? Your grandfather Ma was demoted from Beijing, according to the rules, you are not allowed to return to Beijing without the dictation of Your Majesty, he should not come back, and if you let him be exposed to others, wouldn't it hurt others? Cannot! ”
Xie Meng was faintly excited: "Then what should we do?" Are we going to watch our big brother die and do nothing?! ”
"If you can't let go of your face and beg, then I'll go."
After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for the Xie family's parents to stop her, got up and rushed out of the door.
As a servant, Xie Meng often deals with the dead.
But she never thought about how she would react if the dead body under her hand became her loved one one day.
Just thinking about it, she couldn't bear the pain that welled up from the bottom of her heart.
Whatever the outcome, it's time to ask for help.
What if, what if my brother is saved because of this?
In the wooden house at the mouth of the fifth alley, a cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but sneeze.
Looking at the dark clouds piling up in the sky, he sighed.
The weather in April is really unpredictable, with sunny days and visible speeds turning into cool breezy gusts.
Look like that, maybe there's a thunderstorm brewing.
There was a 'clang', and a thunderclap sounded from the sky.
After a while, the rain poured down from the gloomy sky.
Ma Zhengli was blown back a few steps by the strong wind, struggling to close the courtyard door.
At this moment, Xie Meng, who came wildly, braved the heavy rain, knelt outside the courtyard without hesitation, and shouted towards the courtyard: "Aunt Ma! I'm Xie Meng, my brother is about to be questioned, and I ask Aunt Ma to think of a way for us. ”
The sound of the wind and rain whistling by came into the wooden house with Xie Meng's voice.
Ma Zhengli ran out of the courtyard, stood in front of Xie Meng, and said in a deep voice: "The cause and effect of the quick road." ”
Xie Meng didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly told everything she knew.
The more he said, the more frightened Xie Meng became.
As she spoke, she observed Ma Zhengli's expression, and in the end, she was speechless.
It's just because Ma Zhengli's face is as black as ink.
