Chapter 144: The Defendant

Qing'er came in tremblingly: "Third son, Mrs. please come over." ”

Liao San has just gotten married, the bride is very clingy, and if there is nothing to do, I want to trip him up to my side, Liao San originally liked this feeling, but today after listening to Zhu'er's report, a wave of boredom gushed out inexplicably in my heart.

Is he that bad? Don't say that a girl from the county of Qipin who has not taken office is to promote her by making him a concubine, that is, the prefect girl of Wupin, he hooked his fingers, and the other party may have sent people upside down.

Don't say that the glory and wealth of the Governor's Mansion is his Liao San's fascinated appearance, I don't know how many women in the boudoir dream of being his woman.

Now, he has been rejected, without mercy and without hesitation, how can this be embarrassing?

"Zhu'er, go and ask Zhang Renyi to come here."

Zhu'er lowered his head and grinned, Childe's matter is getting bigger and bigger, he is really afraid that Lord Du Du will know.

The spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River, Wen Han saw that the wind and waves were calm in Lijiazhuang, so he packed up and prepared to go to Minghu City. He has made up his mind to resign from the position of the magistrate and prepare to participate in the last step of the imperial examination, if there is no wife and Li Haoran, he will continue to study in Zhuyun Academy, and now, the hero is short of breath and his children are long, he is really reluctant to live separately from Yanran.

With his literary talent, it should be no problem to enter the Yundang Academy outside Minghu City, Haoran and Lu Zhenbang as companions, and go to study with an old Hanlin who is idle at home in the city, the old Hanlin doesn't want much, but his temper is a little weird, the student he fancies, he doesn't care if he has no money, if he doesn't like it, he just takes a mountain of gold to plead, and he doesn't accept it.

Li Haoran is very smart, Wen Han feels that there is hope, and he is also prepared, even if Lao Hanlin can't do it, there are two private schools in Minghu City that are very good.

Wen Jin originally planned to buy a house in Minghu City and take the second uncle and second aunt over, but now, this plan has to be implemented by Wen Han.

Wen Han generously accepted Wen Jin's sponsorship, in his opinion, he would always have this money, and it would be the same if he returned Wen Jin when the time came.

Seeing Wen Han away, Qian Xiancheng and his wife were a little listless, so Wen Jin honestly took Liangxi and accompanied him at home, hoping to comfort the lonely hearts of the two old men.

The villains in Lijiazhuang kept an eye on Wen Han, and when they were sure that he could not return to Shanyang soon, they handed over a letter to the county government and accused the Li family of occupying his family's cemetery.

Fortunately, with Li Yulin's support, the Zhen family will not be taken to the official mansion to show his ugliness, but Li Yulin is limited to identity and knowledge after all, and this crisis may not be able to cope with it.

Zhen was so frightened that the six gods had no master, and while angrily scolding his son for being disobedient and bringing disaster to her, he sent someone to call his younger brother.

Zhen Qingmin is a wolf internally, but a pig externally, deceived his sister of a hundred taels of silver, hid from the shadow, Zhen waited for the news of his younger brother, and listened to Li Yulin say that his uncle didn't see it at all, so he realized that he had been fooled and had to send someone to Shanyang to ask for Yanran.

Li Jiazhuang's messenger once followed to send him married, and he found the Qian family well, knocked on the door, and the pomegranate came out.

"Excuse me, is the eldest aunt there?"

"What do you ask our uncle to do? The second master is here. ”

"Ouch, what can I do, our wife let people sue her, and the official let her pass the court."

Pomegranate was startled: "You wait. She ran to the upper room and found Wen Jin, who was accompanying Webster to make dumplings.

As soon as Wen Jin saw Pomegranate's face, she knew that there was something big, so she hurriedly got off the kang, put on her shoes, and walked out, after listening to Pomegranate's trembling narration, Wen Jin was not flustered, this was expected, this time, she had to settle this trouble for her brother.

"Pomegranate, go and call Uncle Shi and them, pack your bags, let's go to Huaijin Mansion for a trip."

"Hey!" Pomegranate was not flustered at all, she had been following Wen Jin for a long time, and she had not encountered anything that the master had been unhappy with, and she had also developed a calm and calm demeanor.

Wang Da and Wang He, knowing that the Li family's evidence was like a mountain, dared to make false accusations, relying on them to have someone in the yamen.

Now, everyone looks at the Li family's ten pieces of fat, and they are not the only ones who want to take a bite, and those who have a thin salary and a taste of life in the county government are also staring at it, and they wish that someone would come to sue the Li family.

When Wen Jin arrived at Lijiazhuang, it was already dark, and Zhen, a fool, refused to see her.

"Go and tell your master, I didn't ask her to come, she wanted to set up a score and change the object. I don't care if the Li family rises or falls, anyway, my brother's daughter-in-law has already married, and Master Xiucai entrusted him to take care of Young Master Li's will, and my brother has done it. ”

Li Yulin confessed again and again, was ashamed, scolded the old mother in the inner courtyard, and hurried to ask his wife.

Zhen was late, giving people the feeling that Wen Jin was rushing to slap her up, as if she had to help her solve her problems.

"What about people?" The reception room was empty, except for a small servant, who was cleaning up the tea set.

"Back to his wife's words, Second Master Qian got angry and left."

"Gone? Why is she so irresponsible-"

The little guy didn't dare to say anything, Zhen was stomping his feet, Li Yulin came back with an angry face, and when he saw his master, he was angry.

"What are you doing to eat, I can't even keep the guests!"

"Madam, please pay attention, it's not that I can't keep the guests, it's that you're too much."

"Li Yulin! You dare to disobey me, hum, see if I'll drive you away now! ”

"If it weren't for Master Xiucai's kindness to Yulin, I would have left a long time ago." Li Yulin didn't even bother to make the least respectful demeanor, only to see him straighten his waist, "The eldest aunt's family is willing to lend a hand, not to us, let alone begging us, we are begging others, madam, you can figure it out, people are not slaves who take your money and look at your face, nor are they people who want your money and have to beg you." ”

"You, you, get out of here!"

"Madam, Yulin will leave now, but the day after tomorrow, the yamen will open to hear the case, you remember not to be late." After speaking, Li Yulin didn't look back, and went out of the gate, Li Xiucai was dying, and returned the documents for selling his body to him, Li Yulin was free, he stayed, just to repay his kindness.

To repay the favor to a person like Zhen, it is better to face a pig to repay the favor, at least feed too much, the pig sees you, and knows to run over and hum.

Zhen was dumbfounded, and stomped his feet angrily: "You stop me!" ”

Li Yulin ignored it and walked forward on his own, the old mother beside the Zhen family was in a hurry and ran up: "Butler, big butler, you dissipate your anger, for the sake of the young master's face, you can stop." ”

Li Yulin stopped and looked back at Zhen.

Zhen was so angry that she gasped for a while, she thought that by posing in front of the Qian family, she would be able to increase her worth, so it would not be regarded as bowing her head to Li Yanran, but she didn't expect that now, when the girl went out, she didn't have to beg for a living under her at all, but the Qian family was arrogant, and she was not the kind of money slave who bowed her head and wagged her tail when she saw power and money.

"Steward Li, the master entrusted you to help take care of this family."

Li Yulin frowned: "The entire Huaijin Mansion knows that our family has no support now, they are just an open fire to trap people, and without foreign aid, this time the trouble cannot be solved at all." ”

"Foreign aid? Just that slut man, just a small person, how much foreign aid can there be! ”

Li Yulin turned around and walked out: "Then I can't help it, farewell, wife, you can ask for another master." ”

"You stop! Stop! No matter how angry the Zhen family was, Li Yulin just walked out, although his heart was still very worried, and he was still running around for the Li family, but he was really heartbroken by a housewife like Zhen.

Zhen stood in the outer courtyard of her house, hesitating, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, she was going to the lobby, facing the wolf-like officials and the ruthless officials, she was really afraid.

"Madam, what should I do?" Mother Song, who was waiting, asked tremblingly.

"Li Dali went to ask Grandpa Jiu, how much did it cost over there?"

"Five thousand taels of silver!"

"Five thousand?" Zhen was stunned, "Isn't it five hundred?" ”

"Madam, do you still expect to take money to eliminate the disaster? If they don't drain our family, they will never stop. ”

Zhen couldn't help but burst into tears, she didn't know who to hate at this time, in fact, five thousand taels of silver, she couldn't take it out, the man was dying, he didn't know how to move his hands and feet, now, the good land at home, the title deed is gone, the former treasury was full of baskets of silver, and suddenly disappeared out of thin air, even the valuable antiques at home were suddenly hidden, Zhen felt that men could simply play tricks, and with a wave of his hand, those things were gone.

Li Xiucai just exchanged those for silver tickets and pawn tickets and handed them to Yanran.

In the hands of the Zhen family, there is only an empty shelf left in the Li family, and the real wealth of the Li family is in the hands of the eldest daughter of the former fangsheng whom she hates.

"Mother Song, what do you think I should do?"

"Madam, this is not the time for you and the eldest lady to be angry, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, so you just bow your head once and beg the second master of the Qian family."

"How can you be sure that this second master of the Qian family can solve our family's crisis?"

"Why don't you give it a try?"

"As soon as I wanted to beg that ——, Yanran, I was on fire in my heart."

Mother Song didn't speak, she knew her wife too well, and she wouldn't turn back if she wasn't cornered.

Sure enough, Zhen lost his temper and returned to the inner courtyard, and the next morning, I heard a report from someone outside, saying that the second master of the Qian family was staying in the village last night, and she was going to return to Shanyang, so she was in a hurry.

"Stop her!"

"No, madam, they brought two kung fu bodyguards, and our people were knocked down before they could get touched." Thinking that Qian Wenhan also brought bodyguards, Zhen had no doubts about his subordinates' words.

"What should I do?"

Mother Song was anxious: "Madam, if you don't come forward in person, it's useless for anyone to go." ”

"I, I ......"

Wen Jin didn't know that she also indirectly took a bad breath for her sister-in-law and sought justice. Just when the ox cart she was riding in walked out of Lijiazhuang a mile away, Zhen's carriage caught up.

"Young Master Qian, please stay!" Mother Song ignored the bumps and was dizzy, climbed out of the carriage, and saluted Wen Jin's side.

Someone was in the way, and the ox cart naturally stopped. Wen Jin sat in the ox cart, no matter how the servants of the Li family pleaded, they didn't say a word, Mr. Shi Qiwang was angry, and he stepped forward: "You guys are blocking the way, what's the matter?" Don't anger me Shi, everyone is having a hard time. ”

Zhen finally showed his head helplessly: "Second Master Qian, please come to the cold house to meet." ”

"Who are you? Get out of the way! Pomegranate had never seen such a begging person, and she was angry.

"You-" Mother Song was anxious, and kept giving her master a look, Zhen couldn't help it, and got out of the carriage, "Master Qian, please help us for the sake of my master's face." ”

"Our master doesn't know your master." Pomegranate is not at all polite.

"Then please ask Mr. Qian for the sake of my orphans and widows, helpless......"

"Get out of here!" Wen Jin finally knew why Yan Ran had to live in her aunt's house, such a confused and vicious stepmother, and until now, she refused to admit that she had to rely on her to solve the problem.

Zhen Shi heard Wen Jin's cold voice, and his face turned red all of a sudden, but if he let people go like this, he would go to the court tomorrow, but he would be himself.

"Young Master Qian, please look at our Yanran's face and help the Li family this time." Zhen gritted his teeth.

Wen Jin still didn't move, Shi Qiwang and Shi Qiyue pulled Zhen's coachman down, ready to open the way for Wen Jin, are they so cheap, crying and begging to solve problems for others?

Zhen was anxious and raised his voice: "Young Master Qian, you can't be so cold!" ”

"Get out of here!" Pomegranate came up and pulled away Zhen's, "I've seen shameless, I've never seen you like this, didn't you just rely on my father to save my in-laws, and bullied our grandmother for so many years, and now begging us, you dare to talk like this, we don't owe you, get out!" ”

Seeing Wen Jin's ox cart moving, Zhen was really completely out of line, she couldn't help crying, ran forward, and blocked the middle of the road: "Mr. Qian, Mr. Qian, I have something to say......

Seeing a few pairs of cold eyes, Zhen finally knelt down slowly: "Woo, please, Mr. Qian-"

"Kowtow to our grandmother first and say I'm sorry!" Pomegranate bullied people, it was still very much, seeing Wen Jin glancing at her, the little girl lowered her head worriedly, carrying her master, she was in Minghu City, that is the second master.

Once Zhen's psychological defense line collapses, she can no longer be tough, she is building a tough shell, in fact, the inside is all empty, the so-called strong outside and dry in the middle, refers to people like them.

first kowtowed to Yanran to compensate her, repeatedly assured that she would never dare to go against the eldest lady in the future, against the eldest aunt, and kowtowed to Wen Jin to help her tide over the difficulties, and the pomegranate tossed Zhen enough, so he asked the master with satisfaction: "Look, this is feasible!" ”

"Let them get out of the way, let's go!"

When Zhen heard this, his intestines were full of remorse, and he was carried to the side of the road by pomegranates, and watched Wen Jin leave.

"What can I do?"

Mother Song was speechless, when is the master, and she still wants to put everyone's housewife's money, she thinks that if she can suppress the eldest lady like this, can anyone suppress it?

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Wen Jin spoke: "Go to the county seat of Huaijin Mansion." ”

"Yes!"

When Wen Jin arrived, Shi Yanzong, who had done the foreshadowing in advance, had already asked everything clearly, and was waiting at the Good Luck Inn near the county office.

Because of the disability of his hand, he was not conscripted, Wen Jin saw that he was thoughtful, so he asked him to run errands, this time, it was because Shi Yanzong's uncle's family was from Huaijin Mansion, so he was entrusted with a heavy task, but he didn't expect it to be done very well, Wen Jin sighed secretly, and he was sympathetic for a while, so he let himself recruit a capable subordinate.

People with disabilities know that they have a flaw, and in order to prove that they are not invalids, they tend to work harder than ordinary people and are more loyal to those who appreciate them.

After Wen Jin sat down, Xiao'er brought boiling water, and the pomegranate made tea, and Shi Yanzong began to report: "Lord Zhao, the magistrate of Huaijin Mansion, entrusted the case to the warden Chen Gongming, this Chen Gongming is the one who colluded with Wang Da. ”

Wen Jin understood, even if the Li family had a title deed, what could they do, people made it clear that they wanted to bully people, not to mention anything else, that is, if they didn't close the case, they could open the gap in the Li family and cheat out the money.

"Have you found someone who is accommodating?"

"I found it, Wang Li, the secretary of the torture room, had a grudge against Chen Gongming, he took the silver and promised to invite Zhang Yi, the master of Zhixian County, to come over for a while, but he said, to persuade Zhang Yi, you have to come forward in person."

"Okay!" Wen Jin nodded, "Thank you, Brother Yanzong!" ”

Shi Yanzong was a little embarrassed and a little proud, and said modestly: "Gongzi is humble, Yanzong didn't do anything. ”

"It's been a good job, it's only been a day."

Wang Li and Shi Yanzong played a trick, he didn't explain anything to Zhang Yi, just invited people out for dinner.

Wen Jin is the east, but unfortunately there is nothing delicious in the shop, nothing more than a plate of braised donkey meat, a plate of roast duck, a plate of braised pork, sliced pork belly, steamed into a bowl of strip meat, pomegranate personally went to the kitchen to inspect a circle, only to come a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, and a pot of small crucian carp soup.

When Zhang Yi arrived, Wang Li was already waiting, and there was a young man he didn't know sitting at the table.

Zhang Yi was very satisfied when he saw that the table of the Eight Immortals was full, and he was slightly polite to Wen Jin, and no longer looked at people with his chin.

"Master Zhang, please! Wang Shuban, please! Wen Jin had already quietly prepared a bowl of sour noodle soup, so naturally he wanted to take advantage of Zhang Yi's empty stomach and put people down first.

Man, with six or seven points of alcohol, the words are easy to say.

Zhang Yi and Wang Li did not doubt him, and sure enough, they and Wen Jin worked three bowls in a row, and their stomachs warmed up before they began to eat.

"Little brother Jin Cheng, I just arrived, I don't know the street chief of Huaijin Mansion yet, in the future, it is indispensable to disturb the two, please also look at the younger brother is young and knowledgeable, and he is not sensible, so I will be more supportive and tolerant."

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay." Wang Li said.

"Is Brother Jin in business?"

"Yes, I'm just here to tie up, and I don't know if it's going to be successful."

"What do you want to do in business?" Wang Li asked cautiously.

"Isn't this still being checked?" …… After talking for a long time, and trying to pour several bowls of wine into the two of them, Zhang Yi finally stopped being reserved and began to talk. "In our Huaijin Mansion, there is nothing that I Zhang Yi can't do, you are looking for me, you are right." If you are a man, you will not forget to brag.

...
