Chapter 1: Returning to the Troubles
It is the good season of spring breeze in March, and the willow branches draw a swallow and chirp softly, but the Hu family around the city is in a state of malaise. There is no other reason, but in just a few days, the Hu family has three shops, and they have to close their doors when something happens.
"How is this good, that person is just bullying our Hu family and no one is an official in the court, so he dares to oppress us like this, it's really black-hearted!" Hu Zhangshi pinched the handkerchief, his expression ugly tight.
Hu Changan has also been a lot haggard in the past few days, and when he heard his wife angry, he only sighed helplessly, and said, "Don't be angry, I have already made the silver, and then it will probably be fine." ”
However, things did not go as expected, and on the second day, something happened to the Hu family's shop, saying that the pastries sold were poisonous and ate people to death. This matter that touched people's lives, how could it be so easy, and the shopkeeper and the guy in the shop were taken and put in prison.
The Hu family is just one of the many wealthy businessmen around the city, and so many things have happened in a short period of time. Some people in the city government knew that the Hu family had offended people and avoided it at the moment.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, but someone took an IOU and forced him to come to the door to ask for a debt.
When Hu Jiaren returned from her aunt's house, she saw that the water in front of her house was blocked, and she suspected that she was in the wrong place. But the plaque hanging on the door actually wrote the word 'Hu Zhai'.
She didn't go to her aunt's house to be a guest for a few days, and the sky was going to fall when she came back?
He didn't even dare to go to the side door, so he quietly detoured and knocked on the corner door at the back of the house, and Hu Jia stepped into the house smoothly. His body was weakened by the carriage and horses, and he didn't have the heart to rest, but went to the main courtyard.
"Father, mother, my daughter is back."
Hu Changan sighed: "It's good to come back." ”
And when Hu Zhang's saw his eldest daughter returning home, although he was full of sadness, he also forced a smile: "Jia'er, you are back, how are your aunts?" ”
"Well, my aunt is in good health, and I asked about my father." Hu Jiaren replied, while looking at the second elder's expression, seeing that his face was full of haggardness, his heart couldn't help sinking.
What the hell is going on?
Hu Jiaren looked left and right, and couldn't see the twins' sister, so she asked, "Why are my parents full of sorrow, where is Li'er?" "Isn't something happened to my sister?
In the past few days, the Hu family has been unlucky, and the couple begged for help everywhere, but they couldn't take care of their little daughter for a while. This question reminded me that I hadn't seen my little daughter for several days.
The last time I saw my little daughter, it seemed to be before the Hu family's shop had accidents one after another.
Hu Zhang's heart was also tight, his eyes turned red for a while, and he said in a low voice: "There was an accident at home, and I didn't care about her for a few days, it was my dereliction of duty." ”
Hu Jiaren felt even more strange, a pair of slender eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Hasn't my mother ever gone to see Li'er, hasn't Li'er come to say hello once?" "Her temperament is unbearable, if there is something at home, she will definitely be unable to help asking.
Now, after several days, I haven't come?
Hu Zhangshi didn't think much about it, but said: "I can't blame her, it's because our busy feet don't touch the ground, and she doesn't have time to see her when she comes to ask for peace." ”
Hu Zhang's temperament is soft and he doesn't think deeply about everything, but Hu Changan is a businessman and not a scheming person. Hearing the eldest daughter ask this, I also felt strange.
Thinking about it again, before the accident in the Hu family's shop, the youngest daughter went out. When I came back, I didn't come to say goodbye, but I just let the maid come and say that she was tired and had rested.
After the Hu family had an accident, they couldn't take care of her. Now that I think about it, isn't it that the youngest daughter offended people outside, which caused these disasters to the Hu family?
Thinking of Hu Changan's face sank, he summoned his subordinates to call his youngest daughter over, wanting to ask for clarification.
Hu Jiaren helped her mother sit down, and then asked in a deep voice: "Dad, what happened at home." When the daughter returned, the door of the house was surrounded by people, and she still came in through the corner gate. ”
"Probably provoked the villain." If the youngest daughter asked, Hu Changan wouldn't say, but when the steady eldest daughter asked, she told everything that happened at home in detail.
The more Hu Jiaren listened, the more his heart sank, and this step by step seemed to be trying to force the Hu family to fall completely. What kind of person is so ruthless?
"Daddy is outside, but he inadvertently offended someone?"
Hu Changan shook his head: "As a father, he can have today's net worth, relying on being kind to others, he has always done good deeds and said good things, where dare to offend people." "The Hu family has no reliance, and can squeeze into one of the wealthy businessmen around the city, relying on him to be a little bit and never soft, and he greets people with a smile.
"I probably have to ask your sister about this."
As soon as the words fell, there was a noise outside, and Hu Changan thought that someone had invited his little daughter over. When he looked up, several officials dressed in official clothes came in.
Hu Changan's heart was beating in shock, and his face immediately turned white.
The leading official had a mustache, and when he saw Master Hu, he smiled coldly and said, "Master Hu, someone sued your shop that the pastries sold were not clean. Now that he has eaten people to death, he has to invite Master Hu to go to the yamen. ”
Hu Changan made a gesture and said calmly: "Master Bad, he is just an ordinary person, and he has always obeyed the law. This pastry shop has been open for nearly ten years, and there has never been an accident, and I also eat pastries from the shop at home. ”
"It's impossible for pastries to be unclean, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this......"
Bazihu sneered: "If there is any misunderstanding, you can talk to the garrison." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Hu Jiaren who was frowning and standing aside, and snorted and asked, "Master Hu, is this your youngest daughter?" ”
Hu Jia's heart jumped, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the ill-intentioned gaze of the eight-character Hu.
Hu Changan's heart also sank, but he still smiled and said: "This is the eldest daughter, who has just returned from her aunt's house." ”
Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, and then asked: "I heard that your family gave birth to twins, and I want to come to this sister and sister, and they are almost inseparable." ”
Even Hu Zhang, who didn't have much of a city government, felt that something was wrong when he heard this. How can you stare at other people's daughters and ask non-stop.
"Dare to ask the old man, what does this have to do with my daughter?" Hu Zhangshi asked in shock.
At this moment, the subordinates had already invited Hu Liren over. Her face is ninety percent similar to Hu Jiaren. But she has always loved to play and laugh, and at this time she stood by the door with a timid face.
Hearing the movement, the eight-character beard glanced back, then turned back and said coldly: "This is going to ask your little daughter, not much nonsense, and ask Master Hu to go to the yamen for a trip." ”
After speaking, he glanced at the official behind him.
The wolf-like officials immediately held shackles and lassoed Hu Chang'an. Hearing the sound of Kala, Hu Changan was locked in it.
