Chapter 167: The Godson Before the Man
Shen Mingshu looked at Shen Yugui and said coldly: "Don't mortgage, don't ask the reason, just borrow money, do you still have to return nine out of thirteen?" I ask you, is this a loan? ”
Shen Yugui lay on the ground: "Dad...... Father...... I don't dare anymore, so spare me! ”
Shen Mingshu scolded angrily: "No, Xiaozi, am I lacking your food and clothing? Or won't you get the money? You want to use such means to accumulate wealth and ignore my Shen family's face? ”
Shen Yugui seemed to be very afraid of Shen Mingshu, so he stretched out his hand and slapped himself twice, and said while beating: "It's me who is wrong, I have embarrassed the Shen family, it is I who is wrong, it is I who is wrong." ”
Shen Mingshu ignored Shen Yugui, glanced at Zhao Ying, and said: "This girl, what grievances do you have, even if you say it, there are two adults here, and they will naturally seek justice for you, and I will never shield my son." ”
"Dad, Dad, for the sake of your mother's face, just spare me! I don't dare anymore! Shen Yugui hugged Shen Mingshu's thigh and burst into tears.
Shen Mingshu saw him making such a fool of himself, a touch of disgust flashed on his face, and he wanted to scold him again, but he finally felt bored, sighed heavily, broke free of Shen Yugui, and then turned to Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou and said: "Shen Mou's family education is not strict, and he disturbs the two adults, and he is very ashamed. Shen didn't dare to show favoritism, and tomorrow he will send this beast to the county government for justice, and ask the two adults to be a witness! ”
Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou glanced at each other, and they already knew it in their hearts.
Xu Koupi didn't smile: "The godson in front of people, and the godwife behind the back." Mr. Shen is a good tutor, and Xu admires him. ”
Shen Mingshu's face was full of shame, and he arched his hand and said: "The rebel son is spoiled by his mother on weekdays, and Shen is negligent in discipline and has not fulfilled his duties as a father, which makes the two adults laugh, and Shen has made amends to the two adults and this girl here." ”
Zhao Ying lowered her head, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she didn't speak.
Qi Xuansu didn't do anything about it, but said: "Mr. Shen, you are a gentry, we don't care if you send it to the official or not, after all, we are not the local county order, nor are we the imperial history of the Inspectorate." I just hope that this matter will end here, and after we leave, Ling Gongzi will not embarrass this girl and her family in order to get back face, I don't know what Mr. Shen thinks? ”
Shen Mingshu said: "The rebel son has bad deeds every day, and the disasters that have caused today are all the faults of Shen's connivance. Shen had no shame to defend himself, but he just asked the two adults to rest assured that after today, Shen Mou will be strictly disciplined and will never let the rebel do anything wrong. ”
Xu Kou suddenly stretched out his hand to lift Shen Yugui, and the family guarding outside the door suddenly made a commotion, but seeing that Shen Mingshu was indifferent, they all quieted down.
Xu Kou didn't beat anyone, but helped Shen Yugui dust off his chest, and said: "Shen Gongzi, my name is Xu Kou, my ancestral home is Beihai Mansion in Qizhou, and I now live in Yujing Haichanfang, if you really want to get back face, you can come to me directly, no matter what means you use, go to the 'inn' to hire a killer, go to Fengxian Hall to sue me, as long as I am planted, I will admit it." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Shen Yugui squeezed out a smile.
Xu Kou stretched out his hand and pushed, Shen Yugui staggered a few steps, and just fell into Shen Mingshu's arms.
Shen Mingshu waved expressionlessly, and immediately an old servant with a hunched body walked in quickly and took Shen Yugui from his arms.
Qi Xuansu hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Shen, our green mountains will not change, the green water will flow for a long time, and we will meet again in the future." ”
Shen Mingshu showed a kind smile on his face again: "The two adults will pass through Wannian County in the future, and Shen will definitely set up a banquet and have a good time with the two adults." ”
Outside the door, everyone parted a path, Shen Mingshu strode out, and the rest of the people also turned around and left.
Qi Xuansu looked at Shen Mingshu's departing back, and suddenly smiled: "This one wearing shoes is still afraid of being barefoot after all." ”
Liu Hu was a little confused, and asked, "Uncle Wei, wasn't that person a good person just now?" ”
Before Qi Xuansu could speak, Xu Kou had already smiled and said, "Little girl, do you know what it means to be a traitor?" Do you know what it means to say good things and do bad things? People like me, desperately trying to kill people, and being able to kill a few, are only worthy of being a rag. A person like him, born in a big family, turns the clouds and rain in a county or even a prefecture, covers the sky with one hand, and the gold is expensive, how can porcelain be burned with pottery and jade? This is what is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. ”
After all, Liu Hu is young and has little experience, so he doesn't understand what he understands.
Qi Xuansu explained: "A man has a family and no family, and there is a big difference between having a family business and not having a family business. With a family and a family business, there are more worries and less impulsiveness. Unfortunately, neither of us has a family, nor a family business, and we have martial arts, in Shen Mingshu's eyes, we are not much different from the outlaws, what is the benefit of him fighting hard with us? If he kills us, he won't make a lot of money, but will cause a commotion, if he accidentally misses and doesn't kill us, do you think we will retaliate? Do we look like we have knocked out our teeth and swallowed them in our stomachs? It is better to be soft, take the initiative to take a step back, and turn big things into small things. ”
Liu Hu said softly: "How does he know that you are bachelors?" ”
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment: "For a person like Shen Mingshu, seeing and knowing people is the most basic ability, and he has also heard of Brother Xu's name. Brother Xu still has Gao Tang alive, but he belongs to the family of the Taoist priest under the name of the Qizhou Provincial Government, and no one dares to cause trouble. Even if there is infighting in the Daomen, it is taboo to attack the dependents of the Taoist priest. ”
Xu Kou added: "Another point, thanks to the official identities of the two of us, without this identity, he would not come forward in person, but would only borrow the official knife to kill people." If we dare to resist, that is, against the imperial court, we are rebels. Unfortunately, we have this identity, so he can't borrow the official's knife, and he can't kill people with his hat. ”
Qi Xuansu continued: "As soon as there was movement on our side, he immediately rushed over, which shows the sharpness of his ears and eyes and the well-informed information. It's not been a day or two since his son did these bad things, he wouldn't know? I don't believe it. If he is really a good person, he will not only mention the matter of lending, and he will never mention anything about forcibly occupying people's women, and what this girl said about setting up a situation to harm people, these are not mentioned, which is called avoiding the important and trivializing. Besides, look at his battle, the local servants and Qingluanwei are like his domestic slaves, what to send to the county government, I am afraid that it is not even a fine of three glasses of wine, but it seems that he killed his relatives in righteousness. That's what good things say, and bad things are done. With such a wit, you can imagine what kind of things such a person can do. ”
Liuhu was thoughtful.
"People take the initiative to take a step back, this is to give us face. We can't help but continue, if we let Mr. Shen's face fall to the ground, the two of us won't be able to please us, after all, we are strangers and alone, so there is only so much we can do. Xu Kou casually took a bottle of wine and looked at it carefully for a moment, "Good guy, the authentic Jiushi twenty-three years of Western red wine, a bottle costs twenty Taiping dollars, which is worth half a month's worth of silver." ”
Qi Xuansu turned to look at Zhao Ying and sighed lightly: "We are not the Great Master of the Blue Sky, and we can't fight the Shen family with deep roots, so we can only do so much." Shen Mingshu shouldn't embarrass you anymore, but the people under him are hard to say, you better get out of here quickly. ”
Zhao Ying bit her lip lightly, knelt down towards the three of them, and kowtowed three times.
Xu Kou had already uncorked the red wine and poured half a bottle in one go: "If Deputy Hall Master Zhang encounters this, then there will be some to see, but I'm afraid that Shen Ming's book will not work for his grandson." ”
Qi Xuansu didn't speak, he had a dark premonition that his fate with the Shen family would not end here, and the days to come would be long.
Liu Hu took the initiative to pick up Zhao Ying, took her out, and sent her away.
Qi Xuansu didn't stop him, after all, Liuhu was a cultivator in the Kunlun stage, and when he was in the Kunlun stage, he had already walked a few times between life and death.
Xu Kou wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and said, "Old Wei, although the two of us have analyzed one set of things, but Shen Mingshu just admitted it, I still don't think it's so simple." ”
Qi Xuansu muttered: "It's also a little strange for this father and son to get along, Shen Mingshu, a person with a deep city government, would actually raise a gentleman, which is somewhat like a tiger father and a dog." ”
