Chapter 371: Fourteen Years Ago
"How?" Chunqing immediately asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shandong Changjia's reputation has always been good, but it also benefits the rich party.
Repair roads and bridges and not mention, just the annual tax of the imperial court, the Chang family for the people of Jinan to share as much as half, the people only need to pay half of the tax, the life is naturally more generous than the people in other places, who does not miss his family's good.
Even if the juniors of the Chang family are occasionally overbearing and unreasonable in the street market, for the sake of that half of the tax, who will say anything.
Chunqing couldn't understand what the people of the Chang family had done to Xu Youchang's mother to make Xu Youchang hate the Chang family so much.
And it is also a well-known thing in Jinan Prefecture.
"How?" Chunqing immediately asked.
Song Hui flashed a wry smile, and looking at Chunqing's eyes, he knew that he had to say it.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Song Hui said: "Fourteen years ago, the third master of the Chang family, that is, the grandfather of Huixin, met Xu Youchang's mother in the pawnshop, and she was exchanging jewelry for silver, ready to save his father. ”
"And then?"
"And then? Then Chang Sanye fell in love with her at a glance, and at that time he just pretended to be concerned and asked her why she was a silver, and when he talked to her, he said that he could send her home by the way. ”
Chunqing's heart immediately chuckled.
Song Hui sighed, desolate grief flashed in her eyes, and continued: "Although she refused at the time, she insisted on sending Chang Sanye away, and after several pushes, she was forcibly taken into the carriage of the Chang family by the third master of the Chang family, which had already provoked many onlookers at that time. ”
"The carriage drove away, and went straight to the best inn in Jinan Mansion, no one knew what happened in the car at that time, in short, the carriage had not yet arrived at the inn, Chang Sanye stopped the carriage and threw Xu Youchang's mother off the car."
"At that time, she didn't have any complete clothes on her body to cover her body, and when they were in the most prosperous area of Jinan Prefecture, a crowd immediately surrounded her."
"Some people who know Xu Youchang's mother, seeing her like this, immediately took off their coat and put it on her, wanting to take her away, but they were kicked away by the Chang family's house slaves."
"Through the sedan curtain, the third master of the Chang family spoke, and after letting Xu Youchang's mother stripped off the only remaining strands of clothes, he trapped her hand with a rope and tied her to the back of the Chang family's carriage......"
Chunqing thought of that scene in her mind, and couldn't help but turn pale and her eyes were full of clouds.
It's not as good as an animal.
"It's hateful, but the third master of the Chang family is not satisfied." Song Hui almost gritted his teeth and said.
"What else is he going to do?" Chunqing's expression was solemn, and her heart was clenched.
As long as she thought of Xu Youchang's mother being stripped naked and dragged forward by the Chang family's carriage on the most lively and prosperous street in Jinan Mansion, Chunqing's heart was sour, like a pinprick.
"Under the drum tower of Jinan Mansion, Chang Sanye asked his seven or eight followers to drag Xu Youchang's mother into the gatehouse of the drum tower......"
Song Hui's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes were full of anger, and what he was holding in his hand was fortunately the jade pendant with a high-quality texture, otherwise he would have been pinched and smashed by him.
Even if Song Hui didn't finish speaking, Chunqing knew what he was going to say.
What is the difference between this kind of behavior and the devil entering the village back then.
Pigs and dogs are inferior, and animals are more human than him.
After being silent for a long time, Chunqing asked, "Is there no one to care?" ”
Song Hui's resolute face showed a few wisps of mockery.
"After this incident, the Chang family knew that the matter was too serious, and took the initiative to tie up the third master of the Chang family to the prefect of Jinan, and spent a lot of money to dredge up the relationship, and finally after the prefect of Jinan received the five houses of the Chang family, he just let the third master of the Chang family eat in prison for fifteen days and let him out, claiming that he had drunk too much wine that day and was delirious."
Chunqing was stunned.
Having a ticket can really make the stone mill push the little ghost.
"The people of Xu Youchang's family ......"
"We didn't find out if he had any relatives at that time." Song Hui said, his voice a little weak.
Xu Youchang's family of three seems to have fallen directly from the sky, and in this world, no one recognizes them.
"Although I don't know if they have relatives, and if so, whether the relatives are willing to give up, but this incident caused a stir at the time and angered the people, and after the prefect announced the verdict, almost all the people in Jinan Mansion gathered around the yamen, beating drums and shouting grievances to demonstrate."
The scene of public resentment was imagined by Chunqing.
"Later, the prefect and the Chang family couldn't, so they had to come forward and go to Xu Youchang's house in person to wait for the door, and after compensating the silver taels, they promised that from now on, the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of Jinan Mansion would be paid by the Chang family for half of the people in the city."
…… Chunqing's eyes suddenly widened.
It turned out that I always thought it was a good deed of the Chang family to benefit one party, but it turned out to be like this.
"The people have benefited, even if they know that this matter is simply that the Chang family is using silver to buy people's hearts, but with such a big benefit in front of them, who is not tempted, how can anyone care about Xu Youchang's mother and son."
"Fourteen years, so that everything has precipitated, and now everyone only thinks about the good deeds of the Chang family to benefit one party, who will remember the cause of the year."
Not long after the accident, Xu Youchang's mother took him out of Jinan Mansion. He died not long after he left. ”
After telling this long sad story, Song Hui's whole person seemed to have been sucked away by a goblin, and his body leaned back, leaning on the pillow behind him motionless.
Chunqing stared at the fresh greenery outside the window in a daze, her eyelashes, which were as long as a feather fan, trembled slightly, and a few crystal tears rolled down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes, hot and hot.
After that, Xu Youchang disappeared from the world until he returned to Jinan Mansion a few years ago. Song Hui closed his eyes and said slowly.
Where Xu Youchang was during this period, Song Hui couldn't find out.
"As soon as he went back, he cheated on a large scale, and almost deceived the Jinan prefect's treasury, and the Jinan prefect was exiled until he was questioned by the emperor, and he didn't know that he was deceived, let alone why Xu Youchang deceived him."
"After that, Xu Youchang did a few more cases, I checked them one by one, and all those who were deceived by Xu Youchang had one thing in common."
Chunqing pursed her lips and said, "In the case fourteen years ago, they all received the Chang family's silver. ”
She didn't ask, she affirmed.
Song Hui let out a long sigh, "Yes! ”
"On the one hand, he deceived those people of their money, all of which deceived their families to ruin, and on the other hand, he sent the deceived money to the officials of the Criminal Department, trying to save his father."
Chunqing just wants to say that it is not easy for Xu Youchang to grow so big!
"Until his father was sentenced to beheading, Xu Youchang knew the secret of the year and came to me, and then you will know what happened later."
Chunqing sighed and didn't speak.
The baby in the belly seems to know that his parents are in a bad mood at the moment, and he has always liked to punch and kick, but at the moment he is obedient like a quiet kitten in Chunqing's belly.
