Chapter 129: Retribution is unpleasant
Mrs. Fang reluctantly supported her grandmother's shelf and defended, "Your mother was cut by the robbers, and it is not our fault, how can you blame us." The Son does not speak to the Father, where have you read all those sage books? ”
"Brother Guan, what your grandmother said is right, your mother died of illness, how can it be said that we killed her. At the beginning, I also asked the doctor to come back and see your mother, but they all said that they couldn't help it, so I stopped, your mother..."
The more Fang Jie listened, the more annoyed he became, he slapped the table hard, and shouted, "It's not your fault? Although my mother is the daughter of a merchant, she entered the house with a large dowry, and your food and drink are all from my mother's shop, but you have never treated her well. If you have a dog, you know how to be loyal to the owner who feeds you, you are really not as good as a dog!
When my father was involved in a lawsuit and was imprisoned, it was my mother who raised money to raise money up and down, so he was dismissed and returned home, otherwise he would have died a long time ago. But you said with a clear conscience that it was all the credit of your mother's family, and my mother was wronged but still had to go out to trade to earn money and pay off debts, and then she was injured by bandits.
Not only did you not feel guilty, but you also slandered my mother in front of your father for not abiding by women's morals, and went to meet your lover under the guise of being a businessman. My foolish father believed your nonsense and ignored my mother. My mother was looking forward to it so much, but he wouldn't even take a look! When my mother died, the serious Mrs. of the second room of the Fang family didn't even let her enter the ancestral grave, and was buried in a mass grave..."
Speaking of this, Fang Jie was already so hateful that he raised his head and tried his best to hold back his tears, but laughed and said, "Now that your children and grandchildren are in prison, you may have been whipped and punished at this time, and you finally know how anxious I was to stay in front of my mother's bed, right?" It's really clear, and the retribution is unpleasant! It's a dream that you want me to rescue them! ”
Mrs. Fang and Ma's faces were as pale as paper, they originally thought that Fang Jie was still young and would not know too much about the inside story, but where did they think that he not only knew it clearly, but today he took the opportunity to turn over the old accounts.
Mrs. Fang consciously realized that the last ray of hope for saving her children and grandchildren was broken, and a rush surged into her heart, but in the end, she still rolled her eyes and fainted.
Ma Shi didn't care about stepping forward to save people anymore, gritted his teeth, and knelt down, crying and begging, "Brother Guan, all the mistakes are my fault, if you want to hate, hate me." But it was your father and brother who were suffering in that prison, you had the same blood of the Fang family as them, you couldn't see death without help. You say, "How can you breathe this out of your breath so that you can promise to save your father and brother?" All you have to say is that I should do it..."
Fang Jie snorted coldly, turned around and sat down again, his eyes swept over the spacious hall, and he said with a smile, "This hall looks full of spacious, let people put three animal offerings, you knelt in front of my mother's spirit all night, kowtowing 1,800 rings." If you beg for mercy in good faith, tomorrow I will be happy for a while, and I will go to the government office to get my father back. ”
1,800 rings, or kowtow to the woman she hated the most in her life, Ma was so annoyed that he almost bit his lip, but for the sake of her husband and son, she still responded, "Okay, I'll kowtow!" But you also have to bring your father and Brother Wen back! ”
"Hmph, this matter is so big, how can it be possible to bring both of them back, you are the surname of the government office." Fang Jie didn't give her room to bargain at all, got up and left, and threw down another sentence when he was about to go out, "I'll invite my mother's spiritual position in an hour, and you're ready to kowtow." ”
Seeing Fang Jie's master and servant walking away, Ma Shi was so hateful that he grabbed the knick-knacks and teacups and teapots next to him and threw them, and the maids were already so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, how dare they come forward to comfort. In the end, Ma Shi felt that he had vented enough, and shouted angrily to urge them to prepare incense offerings immediately, and they barely moved their legs and ran out.
Mrs. Fang woke up just when the offering table was just set, and when she saw that there was such a taboo thing in the hall of her main room, she was originally angry, but when she saw the spiritual position in the middle of the offering table, she immediately shut her mouth again.
Ma Shi knelt in front of the offering table, gritting her teeth and kowtowing her head, but after seven or eight strokes, her forehead was already bruised and swollen.
Fang Jie stood aside and looked at his mother's tablet, thinking of the grievances their mother and son had suffered that day, he finally let out a long breath of resentment in his heart, and then commanded in a low voice, "Dongzi, stay here and count, you can't do it without a ringing head." ”
Dongzi said with a bitter face, "Young Master, I haven't counted how much the eldest lady has knocked for a while?" ”
"Then count now!"
"Very good, young master. It's just a small urgency to urinate, go to the toilet first and come back and then start counting, okay? ”
Dongzi is also a ghost, guessing that the master is going to take the eldest lady out of anger, and immediately climbed up with a rod, so angry that Ma, who was already dizzy, almost didn't come up in one breath...
When Fang Jie arrived at the Splendid Workshop, Chen He was taking the boys to count the inventory, so that it would be easy for the new shopkeeper to take over when he took office. As soon as he saw that his master had arrived, he immediately stepped forward to lead the way and said with a smile, "Young master, the prince of the county has been here for a while." ”
Fang Jie nodded with a smile and instructed, "The new shopkeeper who took over the shop is Wu Qiongwu, the shopkeeper of Qingling City, you have also seen it, I am going to rush over today and tomorrow, and when the accounts are handed over clearly, I will prepare to set off with me to return to the north." ”
"Yes, young master, don't worry."
Zhao Fatzi was sitting in the flower hall and was accompanied by the old shopkeeper Chen drinking and gossiping, and as soon as he saw Fang Jie walking in, the old shopkeeper Chen made an excuse and went out.
Fang Jie poured a glass of fine wine and drank it with his head up, exhaled a long breath of wine, and praised, "It's really good wine!" ”
The fat man approached him with a thief smile on his face and said, "Haha, you are out of evil in your heart, and you feel happy when you drink white water!" ”
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Thank you for your help!" ”
The fat man rolled his eyes and pouted, "You and I came to this set, when you were a child, you didn't beat me as the king of the county under you!" ”
The two of them laughed when they remembered the naughty things when they were children, and the fat man's chopsticks kept stopping, and his stomach was full by fifty percent, so he asked, "Do you really want to release your father tomorrow morning?" How many more days? ”
"Let him out, so that I can mention the matter of separating the family from the house. As for my brother, it would be better to keep him in custody for a few more days. ”
"That's it, just do as you say."
"Remember, tomorrow morning, as soon as my father returns home, he will let those people come to the door to ask for debts."
The fat man patted his chest and promised, "How could I forget such an important thing." ”
The two ate, drank, laughed, and dispersed after agreeing on things.
Fang Jie went back to the old house, and saw Dongzi sitting on a chair drinking tea while counting without a match, and Ma had already knocked his forehead red with blood, Mrs. Ma didn't know if she fainted again, or finally understood the situation that the enemy was strong and I was weak, and silently closed her eyes and lay on the kang and refused to say a word.
Fang Jie smiled coldly, ignored them, and turned back to his yard. Those grass-like maids and slaves on the wall didn't dare to slack off this time. There are only four braziers in the house, and the meals are very delicate and hearty. It made Fang Jie in a trance for a moment, thinking that he was back in the vegetable shed where Pucao was warm in spring...
Under the same moonlight, the people who bathe in the moonlight have different experiences. In the Jingzhao Mansion Yali, which is only seven or eight streets away from the old house of the Fang family, at this time, the officials and officials have all gone on errands, and there is silence everywhere. If I had to say that there was a little more lively, it would be the underground prison.
A torch was inserted on the wall made of large bluestones every other zhang, and the firelight jumped suddenly, and the surrounding area was even more eerie. Three or five gray-clad jailers were throwing dice around a wooden table and gambling money, shouting and shouting from time to time, and the winners laughed and the losers cursed, and they were all in high spirits.
Along the passage to the inside, there were cells made of thick wood, and in each room were squatted three or five prisoners with sallow yellow faces and ragged clothes, some of whom bowed their heads and thought about their thoughts, and those who looked desperate at the small window half a foot square, and whose expressions were different, and who must have had an unspeakable period of ups and downs.
Squatting in the innermost cell was the father and son of the Fang family, who had just been locked up and were fortunate to be divided into a single room. This is preferential treatment in the eyes of other prisoners, but the two of them are not sparing any blessings and keep arguing.
Fang Rui's hair bun was also scattered, his clothes were dirty, and he was lying on the fence and shouting, "I was wronged, I didn't steal ancient books, I bought them back for three thousand taels!" I was wronged! ”
Master Fang's dream of being promoted to an official and making a fortune was suddenly smashed and shattered, not to mention, he actually became a prisoner under the stairs, which was simply heaven and earth. Naturally, he was even more unwilling, and also shouted, "My family is a scholarly family, how could I do that stolen thing?" Which of you will pass a word for me, I want to see Liu Shilang, I want to see Liu Shilang! ”
Their father and son shouted like a race, which finally annoyed a jailer who had lost all his money. He grabbed the two steamed buns on the other table and threw them to the cell at the front, shouting, "The steamed buns will be rewarded for you!" After eating, I will teach the rules of the two newcomers' prisons! ”
Seeing the two white steamed buns falling on the rotten grass, the prisoners in the cell were all red-eyed, and rushed forward to snatch them like crazy, and finally it was the burly man who repelled everyone, picked up the steamed buns and ate them to their heart's content.
The jailer opened the lock and led the big man to the Fang family's father and son. The father and son of the Fang family thought that they were going to let them out, but they were all ecstatic. Fang Rui even complained, "Hmph, you snobs, you know that the master was wronged, wait until you bump into the master's hands in the future..."
Before he could finish speaking, the jailer smiled and let the big man in, and then locked the cell door again. Master Fang felt bad in his heart, and said with a smile, "This poor master, didn't you find out the reason and let our father and son out?" ”
The jailer smacked him hard and answered, "Let you go out and dream!" Two masters, you better learn the rules of our prison first! ”
"What rules? We..."The father and son of the Fang family had to ask again, the big man had already swung his fist over, Fang Rui immediately screamed and fell to the ground, and Master Fang's frightened kung fu was also rewarded, so he "threw himself to the ground" like his son.
