Chapter 62: The Way of the Other
When Zheng heard this, he frowned and said, "She can't rest in the house, what kind of trouble is she coming here to make trouble?" Let someone help her back. ”
"Wait." Hua Wenhan didn't look at Zheng, but only instructed the people he brought: "Bring people in." ”
After a while, Chen Xiaomei was brought in.
"Little sister, poor little sister, you were actually harmed like this by them." Chen Xiaomei's second uncle, Chen Chuwu, immediately cried: "My lord, you have to make decisions for our little sister." ”
Chen Xiaomei didn't look at her second uncle and the other Chen family members kneeling on the ground, she walked straight to Hua Yushi and knelt down: "The people see the adults." There was still some timidity in his voice.
"Hmm." Hua Yushi touched his somewhat gray beard and nodded: "You are the daughter of the Chen family?" What are your grievances? ”
When Chen Xiaomei heard this, she looked at the Zheng family, as if she was looking for someone.
"You don't have to be afraid, with this official here, no one dares to embarrass you." Hua Yushi thought that Chen Xiaomei was afraid of Zheng and others, so she didn't dare to speak.
"If you have grievances, just say that although this official is only a seventh-grade petty official, he has never been afraid of those ghosts and ghosts in high positions."
Zheng sneered in his heart when he heard this: Dare to love this Qingtian lord who regards himself as a redress for the people, and treats this restaurant hall as a public court?
Chen Xiaomei looked around and didn't see the person she wanted to see, her face darkened, but Chaohua Yushi shook her head slowly but firmly: "The people's girls are not crying out for themselves, the people's girls are crying out for Yunlang." ”
At this point, everyone present was shocked.
The second uncle of the Chen family even forgot that there was a big man sitting in front of him, and scolded: "Little sister, what are you talking nonsense? Don't get back now! ”
Chen Xiaomei's eyes shrank a little when she heard this, but she swallowed her saliva and continued: "My lord, the people's daughter is here to cry out for Xuanyun. ”
Hua Yushi frowned when he heard this: "What grievances does Xuanyun have?" Do you want you to shout for him? ”
"The folk girl heard that someone sued Yun... Xuanyun wanted to put the people's daughter to death, which was something at all. The folk girl was taken captive last night with the intention of murder. But it has nothing to do with Xuanyun, and the people ask the master of Qingtian to be the master. Chen Xiaomei said while kowtowing.
"My lord, little sister, she was deceived by the sweet words of the surname Yang. I don't know the true face of that kid. Please also ask the adults not to talk nonsense about her surname. Chen Chu stepped forward on five knees and knelt side by side with Chen Xiaomei, and glared at Chen Xiaomei fiercely without anyone paying attention.
Chen Xiaomei shrunk her shoulders. quietly moved to the side, but insisted: "The people's daughter is not talking nonsense, when the gangster tried to murder yesterday, fortunately, the fifth son of the Wang family passed by and delayed the thief for some time, and the people's daughter was fortunate to wait for the Wei family's guards to come to the rescue." But the son of the Wang family who was killed was hit in the head by the thief. ”
"Oh? Didn't you say that the person who attacked you hurt his head? Hua Yu Shihu doubted.
"Outsiders have not seen it with their own eyes, they have only spread false rumors, which is not the case." Chen Xiaomei shook her head. Remembering the words of the third lady, he said, "The thief didn't hurt his head, but his hand." Before he took me here, I had bitten his hand for resisting, so the thief's right hand was wounded. If you don't believe me, you can check the people here to see if there is a person with a new wound on the palm. ”
"And said that you are not talking nonsense, how can you bite a villain with a little woman who has no strength!" Second Uncle Chen pointed at Chen Xiaomei and said.
Chen Xiaomei lowered her head and retorted: "The rabbit can still bite when it is in a hurry, and my life is at stake at that time, I ...... I fought for my life. ”
Second Uncle Chen looked at his niece in front of him incredulously, as if he didn't know him.
All these years. In front of him, this niece has always been well-behaved like a rabbit, and she doesn't say a word on weekdays, which makes people think she is a mute. Therefore, he decided that even if this niece escaped yesterday, she would not be able to say a word today.
But he never thought that she would dare to say such things in front of so many people today to harm him.
Thinking about the glory and wealth that the man promised him, Second Uncle Chen's eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, and he couldn't wait to burn this white-eyed wolf who was eating inside and out.
Hua Yushi asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant who was waiting on the side: "Among the people who came yesterday, there are people who have injured their hands today." ”
The shopkeeper thought about it carefully and replied respectfully: "Except for the two uncles who are lying in the room to recuperate, the rest of the people and villains have seen it today, and they have not seen anyone who hurt their hands." ”
Hua Yushi touched his beard and muttered: "Since someone has sued the official, then the person involved in the case still needs to see the official, Xuanyun ......"
"Your Excellency." Chen Xiaomei only heard Xuanyun's name and interrupted Hua Yushi: "The people are the ones who suffer from this incident, why don't the adults take charge of the people and send people to hunt down the thief who harmed me?" If other people involved in the case are to be held accountable because the thief cannot be found, then the local county lord should also be invited to be questioned. ”
There were gasps one after another around him, and the people of the Chen family looked at Chen Xiaomei like a madman, although Chen Xiaomei was trembling with fear, but she still continued: "It is said that Huada is the master of the blue sky, but why do adults turn black and white so upside down today?" I heard that the prefect of Jinan and the people of Huada have a friendship of classmates, could it be that the people of Huada have also learned to protect each other as officials? ”
"Presumptuous!" Hua Yushi pointed at Chen Xiaomei, trembling with anger. What he cares about most is his reputation, and he can push the banquet between his classmates on weekdays, but he doesn't want to be slandered like this by an ignorant woman.
Chen Xiaomei's face turned pale, and her lips trembled and said: "Yun Lang, he is so dignified, but he has to be framed, and now he is injured and bedridden, and he has to endure the pain of being questioned." I heard that there is a gap between the adult and Yun Lang's father, could it be that the adult wants to announce his personal vendetta and take the opportunity to attack Yun Lang? ”
Hua Yushi was already speechless with anger.
Chen Xiaomei secretly raised her head and glanced at Hua Yushi, although she was very uneasy when she saw this adult so angry, she was faintly excited.
The third lady said that as long as she made this big man angry, her Yunlang would be fine. As long as she can do something for Yun Lang, she is willing to let her die.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaomei's eyes flashed with a hint of firmness, and she suddenly rushed to Hua Yushi's feet and cried: "My lord, the folk girl begs you to be good, let Yun Lang go, he is really innocent, the folk girl kowtowed to you." As long as you are willing to let her go, the folk girl will set up an immortal tablet for you. Three incense sticks in the morning and evening, ask the Bodhisattva to bless you with a long life. Please don't involve him in the grudge between you and Yunlang's father, he doesn't know anything, my lord......"
"Shut up!" Hua Yushi shouted.
Chen Xiaomei was frightened, gritted her teeth in a blink of an eye, and then cried: "If the adults really refuse to let go of Yunlang...... It's me who has caused Yun Lang, where do I still have the face to see him, it's better to die here. Please also see my life, and don't embarrass him again. ”
As she spoke, Chen Xiaomei ran towards the wall.
"Stop her, stop her!" Hua Yushi saw that Chen Xiaomei was really going to hit the wall this time, and he was shocked, so he got up and shouted.
The two mothers-in-law beside Zheng ran up to frame Chen Xiaomei because they were close, although Chen Xiaomei was stopped, she still struggled, but fortunately, she was weak and couldn't break free from the shackles of the two mothers-in-law.
Hua Yushi let out a sigh of relief, thinking, fortunately no one died, otherwise his reputation would be ruined here. Taking revenge for personal gain and forcing the people's daughter to death, this crime cannot be washed away.
The three of them became tigers, and as an imperial historian, he knew very well the fearfulness of people's words.
He already knew that this crazy woman had been given to Xuanyun as a concubine by the Zheng family, and now the two families were obviously out of the nostrils. Since ancient times, it has been a rule of officialdom that the people do not sue the officials and do not prosecute, and now the defendant and the plaintiff are one family, and there is a reasonable basis for pointing out that there are other thieves, what else can he say?
"How can it be!"
Thinking of this, Hua Yushi stood up and brushed his sleeves away.
Seeing this, the people of the Chen family looked at each other, and finally looked at Chen Laoer.
Chen Laoer's face was red and white for a while, and he knelt on the spot and didn't know how to react.
"What are you doing in a daze, driving out all the idle people and so on." Zheng suddenly said coldly.
"Yes, ma'am." Gao Yuan took the order and beckoned to the guards outside.
The people of the Chen family were also clever, and when they saw this, they all got up and ran out, without the menacing momentum they had at the beginning.
Before leaving, only a few people looked at Chen Xiaomei, who was being held by two grandmothers.
Seeing that the idlers and others had retreated, Zheng walked up to Chen Xiaomei and looked at her, and suddenly "poofed" for a while.
"Mother?" Wei Mian looked at the Zheng family, and some of the second monks were confused.
"Today I finally understood what it means to fight eagles all year round, but I was pecked blind by an eagle. Miss Chen's trick is very well learned. ”
When Wei Mian heard this, he remembered the rumors he had heard about the imperial history just now, and finally understood, and couldn't help laughing.
But in his heart, he thought that he was really a gangster who was afraid of hooligans, hooligans who were afraid of scoundrels, and scoundrels who were afraid of dying. This trick is actually the most commonly used imperial history of Zheng's Hua Wenhan.
"You help Miss Chen back to her room." Zheng instructed the two mothers-in-law to take Wei Mian to the backyard first.
When I entered the patio, I saw Sanniang standing in the east wing, under the eaves on the first floor.
Zheng walked up to Sanniang and said with a smile: "I guess that the doctrine just now was what you thought, am I right?" ”
Sanniang smiled embarrassedly, her move to treat the other person was enough damage.
Zheng couldn't help but laugh again.
After a while, he said, "You go back and prepare, and we'll set off after lunch." I asked Junyi, although Jinger and Yun'er are both injured, they can still walk this little distance. ”
Sanniang nodded hurriedly in response, and really wanted to go back to the room, Chen Xiaomei, who was following behind, broke away from the support of the two mothers-in-law and walked over.
She glanced at Zheng and Sanniang timidly, and suddenly lowered her head and knelt down.
Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Chen Xiaomei bit her lip and plucked up her courage to say, "Madam, I want to go with you and ask Madame to be fulfilled." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
