Chapter 110: Apology
"I plead guilty, I confess!! I'm wrong, I'm damned!! It was I who got drunk and injured Yu Hang, and I was afraid of taking responsibility so I accused him of stealing! Please forgive your sins, forgive your sins!! Zhang Dongming had already been frightened, he hugged his head and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
This chapter Dongming is indeed a good hand at doing business, otherwise how would the nobles of the capital come to this small place in Tanggu to customize furniture. However, this person is stingy by nature, and there is a fatal problem, that is, good wine is like life, and the wine is still very poor. Every time you drink, you will get drunk, and every time you get drunk, you will have a tendency to violence.
Either you don't fight the people around you, especially those apprentices from poor backgrounds, or you want to toss them with some shady ideas. Therefore, the apprentices in the shop, generally not for long, will try their best to escape from the sea of suffering, and if there is really no way, they will suffer like Yu Hang, until they can't stand it anymore and give their lives.
Yu Hang is considered to be the one who has persisted for a long time among the apprentices, he is diligent and cautious, and the master in the store also takes care of him, so he is rarely caught by the shopkeeper Zhang.
However, the drunk shopkeeper Zhang is like a mad dog, biting people indiscriminately. When he was drunk, even the master of the shop didn't give the slightest face, and every time at this time, the apprentice in the shop was beaten, and Yu Hang couldn't escape the fate of being beaten.
This time, the master of the shop went out to buy wood, took another tall apprentice to help, and left Yu Hang to practice planing wood in the backyard - the master saw that Yu Hang was smart and diligent, and he had a love for talent, so he taught him some basic skills of carpentering.
Yu Hang also practiced very hard, but unexpectedly, after the shopkeeper Zhang, who was invited to drink, staggered back, he had nowhere to vent his drunkenness, so he poisoned Yu Hang in the backyard. Not only did he fist and kick each other, but he also picked up the wood that could be found everywhere and knocked it on the thin Yu Hang until he vomited blood and stopped moving......
The matter of killing people, the shopkeeper Zhang has not done it before. He never cared about the lives of poor ghost apprentices who had no money or power. After a few days, the body was dragged away by wild dogs, and after no clues and evidence, he took a bite back and took his men to the apprentice's house to ask for someone, saying that the apprentice had stolen the goods in the store and fled. The cowardly apprentice's family members have to kowtow to him in turn to apologize and beg for mercy.
Yu Hang's family background, he also knows a little bit about it, an ordinary poor boy from a fisherman's family, who has been fishing for a living for generations. This kind of little cub with no background and no status, even if he misses and kills, he has nothing to be afraid of. Who would have thought that today Rongxuan Academy is closed, and the kid surnamed Yu actually has a younger brother studying in the academy, and he came to visit him today-the deeds are so exposed.
It's actually nothing if it's exposed, just catch a mistake and send this group of poor ghosts away. Shouldn't the poor fishermen at the bottom be timid and afraid? Why can a girl squeeze him to swear to God? I swore that I usually didn't have anything, why did I answer the oath today, and he was punished by thunderbolt......
For the sake of today, the only way to do this is to kneel down and beg God for mercy and forgiveness for him this time! Zhang Dongming's forehead slammed on the ground, and when he raised his head, he was already bruised: "I am wrong, I confess!" I am willing to bear all the medical expenses of Yu Hang! If there is a case, I am fully responsible for the money that is lost! ”
"Phew! The surname Zhang, you don't curse my brother!! Two stinky money, huh? You know, people are doing the sky and watching!! There are too many evils, and God will clean you up!! Yu Xiaocao was protected by her father when the thunder and lightning fell, and at this time, she took a step forward without fear, standing tall in the lightning, as if a boy from the upper realm was coming to the world.
Yuan Yunxi stood in the crowd, looking at the fearless thin girl in front of her with deep eyes, and a faint respect and an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart.
Although the shopkeeper Zhang disagreed with the girl in front of him, he did not stop bowing to God, and admitted his mistake. As he confessed his sins and begged for mercy, the dense thunder and lightning gradually thinned out, and the thick dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.
Among the people of Tang Gu who have seen this scene, the legend of "thunder punishment will be punished if you do bad things" has gradually spread.
And Yu Hang, who was diagnosed as hopeless by Dr. Tong Ren Tang, slowly opened his eyes after the dark clouds dissipated, and with a weak voice, he called Liu Duyun, who was crying in tears, "Mother......"
The onlookers discussed: "God has opened his eyes, not only punished the wicked, but also saved Yu Hang's life......"
"Xiaosha, are you awake? Do you feel uncomfortable in anything? Yu Hai helped the lady who was crying with joy and asked softly to her weak son.
Yu Hang's thin and out of shape face, he tried to squeeze out a soothing smile, and said with difficulty: "Dad, mother!" I'm fine, I'm worried about you......"
"It's all my mother's fault, it's all my mother's fault! If I had taken you home earlier, my son would not have suffered such a great sin......" Liu's eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open them, and he was scared for a day, physically and mentally exhausted.
Yu Xiaocao saw that his brother was struggling to sit up, and hurriedly stopped: "Brother, your ribs are broken three times, Dr. Sun just helped you pick them up, you can't move around!" Mother, it's a good thing that my brother is awake, don't cry, you are not in good health, so that my brother will not worry about you. ”
"Brother, let's go home! Daddy and the stone protect you, and there will be no bad people to bully you!! Xiao Shi's eyes were as red as a rabbit, and he comforted Yu Hang with a crying voice. Yu Hang smiled at him reluctantly.
Yu Xiaocao turned to Shopkeeper Zhang, who got up from the ground, and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, let's bring my brother back, you have no opinion, right?" ”
"Uh...... It stands to reason that if the apprenticeship period is not completed, you will have to pay liquidated damages......" The shopkeeper quietly glanced at the dark clouds in the distance, tried to stand up straight, and played an official tone again.
After hearing the news, Wednesday, who hurried over from the dock, got off the horse, squeezed into the crowd, and heard the shameless words of the shopkeeper Zhang, and sneered: "The surname is Zhang!" The account of hurting people, we haven't calculated it with you yet, what liquidated damages do you still have the face to mention!! Why don't we go to the county government and talk about it? ”
The recent development momentum of Zhenyulou is fierce, and the private rooms are booked until three months later, plus with the backing of the imperial merchant Zhou family, how can the shopkeeper not know the owner of Zhenyulou?
"Wednesday Shao, I don't know what you have to do with this Yu Hang?" In Zhang Dongming's view, one is the son of the family, and the other is a poor fisherman, who can't be beaten with eight poles. But listening to Wednesday's tone this week, how did he stand on the side of the surname Yu?
Zhou Zixu didn't care about brushing the dust off his clothes, and carefully inquired about Yu Hang's injuries and the details of this matter, before he squinted at the shopkeeper Zhang, who had been neglected by him for a long time, and said solemnly: "This Yu girl is the sister I recognize!" Whoever bullies my sister is going to have trouble with me on Wednesday!! ”
Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes fiercely in her heart: surnamed Zhou, when did this girl become your sister-in-law? We're partners at best, okay?
Zhou Zixu seemed to feel her belly, turned around to give her a reassuring look, turned his head, and looked at the shopkeeper Zhang with a smile. The thin back of the little boy seemed to become tall at this moment.
The shopkeeper can mix like a fish in water in the mall, and naturally knows what kind of people can be offended, and what kind of people can only be careful. Although the third young master of the Zhou family is young, he is valued by the old man of the Zhou family, and his future prospects are naturally not a problem.
What's more, he has a lot to do with the son of Wu County Order, and this matter is his own loss, and if he makes trouble with the county government, he is afraid that he will be the one who suffers.
Zhang Dongming immediately performed the unique trick of "changing his face", his face was full of smiles, and said: "The old man really has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, since Wednesday Shao helped to intercede, the old man will look at Zhou Shao's face and return the signed contract to the Yu family......"
Wednesday saw Yu Hang's tragic situation, and felt angry and ashamed of the cruelty of the shopkeeper Zhang, he intercepted the words of the shopkeeper Zhang, and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Zhang, you don't have to look at my face!" Who is right and who is wrong, when you get to the county office, you will see!! Simo, when he went to the county office to report the case, he said that the shopkeeper of the Zhangji Woodware Store was seriously injured after drinking......"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" In the spring cold, Zhang Dongming's bruised forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he immediately bowed, and said continuously, "Young Master Zhou, what do you say, the old man obeys his orders!" ”
Wednesday Shao turned around to look at the silent Xiaocao and asked softly, "Xiaocao, what do you think the shopkeeper should do with this chapter......
"Shopkeeper Zhang beat my brother, causing my brother to be seriously injured and dying, causing serious physical and mental injuries to my brother. Expenses for mental damage are waived, such as medical expenses, nursing expenses, lost work expenses, and nutrition expenses...... These should be borne by the party at fault. Also, the shopkeeper of Zhang falsely accused my brother of stealing and damaged my brother's reputation, and I must solemnly apologize to my brother in front of everyone! ”
Zhou Zixu saw the little person in front of him, with his hands behind his back, pretending to be an adult, and he was talking with the truth, and he felt the cuteness of the little girl even more. He couldn't help but smile warmly in his eyes.
"Did you hear that? Medical expenses, nursing care expenses...... Whatever, for the sake of the villagers, it's cheaper for you, so it means to give a hundred taels, it's not too much, right? "Wednesday is as warm as spring in the face of friends, and as ruthless as winter in the face of enemies.
Originally, he was going to open his mouth and ask for three or five hundred taels, but he was afraid that Xiaocao and his family would fall into the truth, so he offered a fair compensation.
Where did the shopkeeper dare to say anything, his heart was dripping with blood, and he had a smile on his face, and nodded and said: "Not much, not much!" The conditions proposed by Young Master Zhou are very fair and fair! ”
Wednesday Shao took one hundred taels of silver tickets from the shopkeeper Zhang, and signaled to Yu Hang lying on the donkey cart: "The compensation has been paid, so hurry up and apologize!" We're still waiting to go to the hospital for a follow-up! ”
Let him apologize to a poor ghost apprentice, Shopkeeper Zhang really can't get over this hurdle in his heart, but if he doesn't apologize, he is likely to be taken to the county government - in that case, he will lose face. After weighing it, he still pretended to be sincere, pinched his nose and apologized to Yu Hang.
