Chapter 448: The Death of Wealth
Huangfu Yin was stunned, Huizhou?
The young man looked very thin, his face was as pale as a piece of paper, and he was richly dressed, wearing a fine mink hat and a leather jacket, and it was evident from his conversation that he was from a wealthy family.
He looked like he was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he held it high above his head.
When Huang Fuyin saw it, he was even more shocked. The scarlet piece of paper was written in blood.
The master looked at Huang Fu Yin's expression, took the paper, and presented it.
When Huang Fuyin saw it, he was even more frightened, he raised his head, and suddenly saw Xie Jingyi in the crowd, which had been slightly raised, and put it down again.
"Liu Mengting, this mansion has been writing about your paper for a long time. The things mentioned also happened almost a year ago, why did you suddenly come to Kaifeng Mansion to beat the drum and voice your grievances? ”
"Moreover, this case happened in Huizhou, why did you come to the capital instead of suing the officials locally?"
Although Liu Mengting was young, he was very calm, "My lord, our brother and sister, followed the troupe, walked and stopped, and it took half a year to come to the capital. Ah Mei was not well ill, and the boy sought medical advice, and it took another month to get better. ”
"In another month, I looked at you carefully, and saw that you were indeed a good character, and that you were a Qing official who could make decisions for the people, so I wrote this indictment in blood. But our Liu family, only the kid is left, the longer he lives in the capital, the more he feels that the Qi family is luxuriant, like a towering tree, that Qi Shaoping has the blessing of the family, and in fact, I and other small people can shake it? ”
"It's because the kid is waiting, waiting until the Qi family is equally powerful, and when the Qi Shaoping offends someone, then the kid will come to sue the official. Although the wind and snow were heavy yesterday, the kid heard that Qi Shaoping slandered the county lord of Shougao and Mrs. Chai Yushi in the Qingping Town case. ”
The kid didn't understand the twists and turns, but he knew that the opportunity had come. It's not that the county lord and his wife will help me, at least, they will not watch the kid be wiped out by the Qi family at this pass. ”
"If the kid doesn't die, then my Liu family will be wronged, and I will be able to see the light of day!"
Liu Mengting is thin and lean, but his speech is full of energy, and there are stars in his eyes.
It's just that what he said was too shocking, but it can't be said to be shocking.
It was about the time of the New Year's Day, and the elders who came to pay their respects to the New Year gave the red envelope of the New Year, and they always wanted to be polite, and the elders did not dare to resign, so I accepted it.
But Liu Mengting had already stretched out his hand when he was still in his sleeve pocket and waited there seriously.
broke the conventional rules, and the surroundings were a little quiet for a while, but Xie Jingyi gently hooked the corners of his mouth.
She turned her head, looked at the shopkeeper Zhao standing in the outer circle, and shook her head gently.
Liu Mengting, this child, is really not what she found.
The one she found was preempted before she could beat the drum.
"As for why he didn't sue the official in Huizhou, of course, it was because the governor of Huizhou was also surnamed Qi. When the boy entered this door, he was prepared. Since my great-grandfather's generation, he has been a merchant mariner. ”
"Although our Liu family is thin, the ancestral hall is not prosperous. My great-grandfather came to Huizhou on this merchant ship, and his ancestors are no longer available. But my grandfather, and my father, were good dealers. After several generations of hard work, our Liu family has become the number one wealthy businessman in Huizhou. ”
"My mother's surname is Tang, and she is from Huizhou for generations. My grandfather's family owned a large number of tea mountains in Huizhou and was engaged in the tribute tea business. When Qi Shaoping was old, he went to Huizhou and said that he was here to collect tribute tea, and Zhizhou Qi Cheng was his kindred. ”
"Qi Cheng arranged it in my house, and this was the beginning of the disaster. It's not a kid to brag, the pavilions and pavilions in my home, as long as you want, you can use gold bricks as the ground, pearls as lights, coral as trees, and white jade as tiles. ”
"Qi Shaoping accidentally discovered the wealth of my family, his father is a household secretary, and he has been in Caoyun for many years, so he naturally knows that we can't make so much money just by relying on river transportation. After several pressing, Daddy told him that we already had a ship to do that sea transportation along the coast of Dachen. ”
"And there are already very safe and stable routes. There have been a lot of people who have been running sea transportation in recent years, but there are very few people who have done it for so long like our Liu family. ”
Therefore, Qi Shaoping had bad thoughts about my family's industry. That day was the eighth day of the second lunar month, and Qi Shaoping asked my father to go to Chen Ping's house to drink, saying that he wanted to take our family's merchant ship and earn some private money. ”
"My father didn't dare to offend him, so he agreed. No matter how rich our Liu family is, there is no one in the clan to be an official, and I am ashamed to say that it is my grandfather's family who supports us, and I dare not show my wealth, so I can live in peace. ”
"That Chen Ping is my father's sworn brother, who had already been lifted at that time and wanted to enter the capital to take the Jinshi examination. My father later told me that Qi Shaoping repeatedly poured him to drink that day, but he couldn't shirk it, and he got drunk not long after. ”
"When I woke up, the sky was falling. My Uncle Chen Ping was already splattered with blood on the spot, and he was plunged into his heart with a pair of scissors. My father was lying on her bed, and Chen Ping's wife, Zhao, had committed suicide by hanging a beam of white silk. ”
The servant of the Chen family, the bride of the Zhao family, insisted that after the three of them drank too much, Qi Shaoping left early. My father, on the other hand, was too drunk and stayed. Just when Uncle Chen Ping woke him up and wanted to help him go to the guest room. ”
"He had evil intentions and wanted to defile the Zhao family, Chen Ping naturally stepped forward to stop him, but his father stabbed him in the heart with a pair of scissors and died on the spot. Zhao lost his innocence and hanged himself on the spot. ”
"The verdict of the governor of Huizhou is ironclad, my father has no merit and fame, and the murder is to pay for his life, and in a short period of time, he was sentenced to beheading. My grandfather was scolded with a rod for 30 years when he shouted injustice in the court, and he died when he returned home. ”
"Grandmother could not withstand such a blow, and after a while, she followed. Mother ......"
When Liu Mengting said this, he suddenly choked up, he cleared his throat, and continued, "Although my mother is a woman, she is also a person who has seen the world, and she immediately sensed that something was wrong, and entrusted me and my sister to the loyal servant Liu Jiang, and hid them in a courtyard on the outskirts of Huizhou City. ”
"After a few days, the city was full of gossip about my mother...... said that my mother did not abide by women's morals and had colluded with Chen Ping earlier, and also said that I was not my father's own son, but Chen Ping's son. He also said that his father knew the truth, so he killed Chen Ping and came back with Zhao for revenge. ”
"We in Huizhou regard women's morality as extremely important. Those people have noses and eyes...... Pointing fingers at my mother, within three days, my mother died, and left a confessional suicide note, saying that I was indeed not my father's son. ”
"Now my inheritance has become ownerless."
