Thank you for your continued support!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The four deputy chief inspectors beside him, all the guards, as well as Su Yao and Wei Zhenzhen, who were holding wheelchairs, were all shocked by this spectacular scene that they had never seen before, and looked straight at the inspectors and guards who had changed their momentum.
Even with them, they could barely hold back their shouts.
He turned his head to look at the mansion lord who was sitting in a wheelchair, with bright eyes and a smile on his face, and sighed with awe in his eyes!
This is our lord!
Boom!
Everyone's enthusiasm and excitement froze, and their eyes were deflected, attracted by the sound.
The gate of the Kifu is open!
Hua Yu and the others also looked at the open vermilion gate, and on both sides of it, the red wind lamps were swaying.
Ji Huafeng walked in the front, and more than a dozen people were escorted by the family guards, and the most eye-catching was Ji Huayu, who had bandaged his wounds but his eyes were red with anger.
Quickly stepped forward, hugged his fist at Hua Yu, and said:
"Lord of the Flower Mansion," this is what he called Hua Yu in the slogan he heard Fang just shout, "I have brought the main and subordinate suspects thirteen people below." ”
With another wave of his hand, two other sturdy servants approached with a wooden crate, and stood beside him, looking down at his toes for fear of being offended.
"Lord of the House, this is the ransom for the other seventy-one people who have been deceived and have been constrained to commit crimes, please take a look. ”
With a slight gesture, the two clever servants quickly opened the lid of the box, and suddenly the bright dark red gold light shone, and a whole box of solid color and sufficient gold ingots.
As soon as it was coarse, Hua Yu knew that this box of gold was at least 10,000 taels, which was converted into 100,000 taels of silver.
The family has a lot of money, and it is true.
Seventy-one people, 10,000 taels of gold, such a amount, it is said to be a ransom, but it is better to say that it is a gift money to show goodwill and sue for peace, and the capital is sufficient.
Hua Yu's eyes were flat, she looked at Ji Huafeng, and said indifferently:
"Yufeng, take it and put it in storage!"
"Yes!"
With a wave of his hand, a guard stepped forward to take the box, put his hands flat, and walked back to the queue with the box flat, his face did not change and he did not pant.
Ten thousand taels of gold were easily held on top of his hands, and compared to the two servants, this posture was a lot more secure.
Seeing that Hua Yu accepted the gold, Ji Huafeng's heart also relaxed, and the matter was finally resolved peacefully.
Although he lost his reputation and lost some money, he also avoided a head-on confrontation with the imperial court, and also took the opportunity to eliminate some black sheep in the family, which was not a big loss.
Handed over the bound clansmen to the patrol guards, Ji Huafeng never asked Hua Yu to take any care and protection for these thirteen people, they had been given up by the family as an exchange gift for the end of this incident.
The matter has ended here, and after a few words, Hua Yu took all the patrol guards back home.
At this time, no one came forward to say hello to Hua Yu, got out of the way, and watched everyone leave the inspection office.
Ji Huafeng stood at the foot of the front steps of the mansion, and watched all the patrol guards turn around the corner and leave, before he smiled meaningfully and turned around and entered the mansion.
In the future, the head of his own family will have no constraints.
Early the next morning, those who had been paying attention to the General Inspector's Office saw six prisoners hanging from six wooden pillars seven or eight meters high on both sides of the square in front of the palace.
It was already dawn, and some passers-by or those who wanted to come came close to watch, but they could only stop four or five meters away from the wooden pillars, because each wooden pillar was guarded by a patrol guard.
On the wooden pillar, there is also a big fist-sized letter: Disturbance in the prison, hanging for three days to show the public, to set an example!
Some of the onlookers who knew one of them began to talk about it.
"This, are these the two servants under the second son of the Zhang family?"
"Oh, it's true, these two people follow the second son to cheat people all day long, and now they can be regarded as retribution!"
"This, this is the entourage of the son of the Gao Changshi family, this, this is actually the servant of the fifth son of the Zhou family, this 。。。。。。。 ”
Recognizing the identities of these people who were hung in public, the people in the audience immediately exploded.
As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and the masters of these people are all people with rich family backgrounds, noble status, and hands and eyes.
This is a big deal!
It's also a rare and interesting thing to talk about!
However, these subordinates who were sent to explore the wind did not have such a good attitude, and as soon as they recognized their son's entourage, their faces immediately changed, and they left in a hurry.
The entourage suffered this kind of treatment, which means that the inspection office has no fear and scruples for its own forces, and the son of his own family is afraid that he will also suffer some special treatment in the prison of the general inspection office, and he must tell the master of the family quickly.
At this moment, the troika drove out of the two streets, and when it reached the edge of the square, it stopped, and in the middle of the carriage was a middle-aged butler with a beard under his chin.
When they saw each other, they were all familiar with each other, standard etiquette, bowed to each other, and then walked to the gate of the chief inspection mansion in unison.
The three of them walked together, even the stride length and posture were the same, full of a noble charm precipitated by the years.
On the steps, the three of them stopped in unison, walked half a step forward on the person on the far left, bowed to the patrol guard guarding the door of the mansion, and said with a slight smile:
"I, Fuyuan, the foreign affairs housekeeper of the Zheng family, and Songlian, the housekeeper of the Baili family, and Lin Hong, the housekeeper of the Lin family, have come to send an invitation to the head of the house, inviting the lord of the General Inspection Mansion, Lord Hua Yu, to come to the house for a gathering, and I hope that the little brother will pass it on. ”
People in Jianghuazhou, who has not heard of the five giants, the Zheng family, the Baili family, and the Lin family are the top families that have been inherited for tens of thousands of years.
The patrol guards guarding the door couldn't help but have a dry tongue, in the face of such a top family, even if it was just a housekeeper, it was not comparable to their small cultivation and net worth, just looking at the standard and friendly etiquette of the people made them ashamed of themselves.
Speech also became a little stuttering.
"Ah, oh, Fu, Fu Steward, and, um, uh, Steward Song, Steward Lin, please, please wait, the villain will go to Tongyu. ”
The three housekeepers were not rude because of this, and thanked them in unison:
"There's little brother Lao!"
The standard etiquette is full of elegance and respect, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
The inspector who answered the question was flattered, and waved his hand again and again:
"Don't work, don't work, three wait. ”
As soon as he slipped through the smoke, he quickly ran into the mansion.
The three housekeepers were not impatient, they still waited indifferently, and occasionally chatted with each other about two interesting things, every word and smile, every move, all showed the elegance and style of the precipitation of the years.
The person who can become the external manager of this 10,000-year-old family is indeed extraordinary.
The three giants came to invite the mansion master, and for such a big matter, the patrol guard did not dare to delay, and the speed under his feet was extreme, and he ran on the aisle like the wind.
In half an hour, the patrol guard had already rushed to the main entrance of the back house.
The main entrance was closed on the top of the steps, and two of Hua Yu's guards were guarding the door.
The patrol guard stopped abruptly, gasped for breath, and quickly explained the matter to the two guards.
One of them said to the inspector:
"You rest first, and I'll go to the mansion master. ”
In the courtyard where Hua Yu lived in the back house, Hua Yu had just had breakfast and was practicing with his eyes closed.
The guards entered the courtyard and slowed down, and Su Yao stopped him from continuing to approach when he saw this, and walked over lightly.
The inspector lowered his head and reported the matter to Su Yao softly, Su Yao frowned, the people of the three giants are not good to make people wait for a long time, she gave Wei Zhenzhen a signal, and walked out of the courtyard by herself.
Walking quickly to the door of the mansion, Su Yao saluted the three stewards and said with a light smile:
"The little woman, Su Yao, is the maid of the mansion lord and the steward of the inner courtyard, and she has seen three housekeepers. ”
The three of them naturally had a detailed understanding of Hua Yu's information before they came here, and they didn't have the slightest contempt for Su Yao, Hua Yu's personal maid in front of them, and said with a smile:
"I've seen Miss Su, my Zheng family (Baili's, Lin's) received a letter from the General Inspection Office a few days ago, but I couldn't reply to the post in time due to family matters, and I asked Miss Su to convey my family's apologies on my behalf. ”
After that, he took out the red bronzing invitation and handed it to Su Yao in both hands, with meticulous etiquette, solemn and natural.
