If the concubines are counted, Fei Yuanyi has sixteen granddaughters.

The eldest Fei Yinghuan, the wife is fierce, and he did not take a concubine, one son and two daughters.

The second child, Fei Yingxi, has a fierce wife, did not take a concubine, and has three sons and one daughter.

The third child, Fei Yingke, has a weak wife, eight concubines, five sons and twelve daughters.

The fourth Fei Yinghui, the main wife died early, there was no continuation, no concubine, and brought back an illegitimate daughter.

Granddaughter, there is no shortage!

Fei Yuanyi is an old talent with a rich life in his later years, and he likes to participate in literary meetings and write a few sour poems.

This kind of society belongs to the elderly, often headed by officials, and the gentry and elders are happy to be vassals and elegant. They don't drink much flower wine, and even if they invite famous prostitutes to play and sing, they are still listening to music - they are powerless!

Most of the time, bamboo canes and shoes, leisurely travel in the mountains and forests, and compose poems and lyrics.

Or call friends and companions, fish, eat, drink tea, listen to plays, play cards, and enjoy your old age, so uncomfortable.

Don't think that these old guys don't seem to have a sense of existence!

Successive magistrates, if you want to leave the name of the township ancestral hall, you must get their approval.

In civil disputes, they generally do not choose to report to the official, but also invite them to mediate the referee.

If there are thieves or natural disasters, the magistrate wants to raise money and food, and he also asks them to call for donations.

Patrolling the places according to the imperial history and listening to the so-called public opinion, it is often to communicate with these old guys.

Squire, Wish!

If you want to mix in this circle, you must first have fame, and second, you must talk about money.

Fame and face are Fei Yuanyi's lifeblood, and the value of his life is far more important than a granddaughter!

Last year, the Shanxi rebels broke through the county seat, and the county magistrate ran ahead of schedule.

Fei Rulan's fiancé was stupid, and he was fooled by the big clans in the city for a while, and stood up to recruit the township to defend the city. With only a stick of incense, there were spies who opened the door to offer the city, and the goods were so frightened that they turned around and ran, and the rebels chased after them and cut them with a knife.

Afterwards, the imperial court determined that he had been martyred and ordered the local government to pay tribute.

When the old guys gathered, someone exclaimed: "Brother Zimei, you really have a good son-in-law, you will not retreat from the battle, sacrifice yourself to serve the country, Your Majesty has given the memorial arch of righteousness!" ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Fei Yuanyi always felt harsh, and when he returned home, he tossed and turned, and he felt that his granddaughter was an eyesore.

The grandson-in-law is a martyr, and the emperor gave the memorial arch of righteousness. But the granddaughter is alive and well, if she doesn't die for her husband, how can she justify it? I'm afraid that from now on, he will be ridiculed all the time, and he won't be able to raise his head in front of many squires!

In the past six months, Fei Yuanyi has tried many times, but her granddaughter has been pretending not to understand.

To this day, Fei Yuanyi simply opened his words, said them without any leeway, brought out the family ancestors, and forced his granddaughter to commit suicide.

……

Outside the door, a house slave paced back and forth, anxious but afraid to go in and disturb.

Waiting left and right, Fei Yuanyi finally finished writing a pair of words, wiped his hands and said, "Old Five, why hasn't there been a reply over there?" ”

The house slave who was called the fifth child hurriedly walked over and said, "Master, over there in Jingxingyuan, we can't get in." ”

"Can't get in?"

Fei Yuanyi didn't understand, and said: "I only ask you to send someone to inquire about the news, if Rulan is really martyred, I will help deal with the aftermath." If Rulan is disobedient and still refuses to be martyred, you can come back. What does it mean to not be able to get in? ”

Lao Wu explained with a bitter face: "Master, I sent two groups of people before and after. The first group did hear that Miss Sun committed suicide, so they rushed in to deal with it, but they didn't expect to be arrested and locked up in the firewood room. I sent a second group to bring people back to ask about the situation, but when I entered the Zhongqin Temple, there was no news. ”

"No news?" Fei Yuanyi still didn't understand.

Lao Wu continued to explain: "Now on the side of Jingxingyuan, whether it is the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard, the side doors of the main gate are all blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. I don't know what it's like inside. ”

"You let Jing Xingyuan release people quickly!" Fei Yuanyi said angrily.

"They didn't let it go, saying that they would wait for the young lady to come back," the fifth said aggrievedly, "That's the courtyard of the eldest young master, and you can't really let people break down the door with open fire." ”

Fei Yuanyi said: "Just say that it is the old man's order, let them release them immediately!" ”

"I said, it doesn't work," Lao Wu took the opportunity to take eye medicine, "The courtyard of the eldest young master is becoming more and more domineering, and he usually doesn't take our Gongbei Garden in his eyes." ”

Fei Yuanyi was furious, slapped the table and shouted: "It's the other way around, you personally bring people over, and if you don't open the door, you will directly knock it open!" ”

Lao Wu received the holy decree, immediately summoned the house slaves, and killed Jingxingyuan in a hurry.

"Hurry up and open the door and let people go, otherwise you're welcome!"

At this time, it was almost dark, and the fifth child was shouting with torches, and he lit the house without saying a word.

"Next!"

Someone inside responded, and suddenly threw out an object.

Lao Wu asked his subordinates to pick it up, but it was a purse, and there were still things in the purse.

"Open it and take a look." The fifth old commanded.

The subordinate opened the purse and shone it with a torch, and immediately lost his soul with fright, and exclaimed, "It's four fingers!" ”

Lao Wu's face was also pale with fright, and he pointed inside and shouted, "You...... How dare you kill? ”

No one answered.

The fifth child is already a handful of years old, but he can't withstand this kind of intimidation. He commanded his men, "You are here to watch, and I will go and ask the master!" ”

This cargo ran wildly all the way, running and shouting: "Master, master, someone is dead!" ”

Fei Yuanyi was about to eat, and frowned: "What are you panicking about?" If you have something to say, it's good to say. ”

Lao Wu took out a few broken fingers: "Master, Jing Xingyuan not only opened the door, but also threw out a few fingers." ”

"Amitabha, Amitabha......" The old lady put down her chopsticks and chanted the Buddha's name.

Fei Yuanyi was stupid and didn't know how to deal with it at all.

He just wanted to force his granddaughter to commit suicide and send someone over to find out the news.

If you really commit suicide, immediately arrange the aftermath, and quickly contact the county to set up the memorial arch.

If you don't commit suicide, then there is no way, you can't send someone to beat your granddaughter to death, right?

It's as simple as that, and now it's all messed up. sent two groups of house slaves over, but they were all seized by Jing Xingyuan, and the gate was blocked to isolate the inside and outside.

Now it's even more outrageous, actually throwing out a few fingers.

It is impossible for Fei Yuanyi to come forward in person for this kind of thing, but if he does not come forward in person, there is nothing he can do about the house slaves below.

Fei Yuanyi was in a dilemma, and suddenly looked at his wife: "Why don't you go for a trip?" ”

The old lady stood up with her rosary, didn't eat any more food, and went straight to the Buddha hall, only throwing down a sentence: "You have made sins, you clean up by yourself, don't disturb me to chant Buddha." ”

Fei Yuanyi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly overturned the dining table: "It's the opposite, it's all the opposite!" ”

"Master, this ......" the fifth didn't know what to say.

Fei Yuanyi forcibly suppressed his anger: "If you go, just say that today is a misunderstanding, and quickly bring the person back to the old man." If a bunch of slaves in my courtyard are detained overnight by the long house, what kind of words will be spread out, and the Goose Lake Fei will become a funny stock! ”

Lao Wu hurriedly ran to Jingxingyuan again, this matter was beyond his understanding, and he really didn't know how to solve it.

The slave of the son, detain Lao Tzu's slave, this kind of thing has never happened in the entire lead mountain!

Panting and running outside the gate, Lao Wu shouted: "Today is a misunderstanding, let the people go quickly." ”

Zhao Han replied inside: "Today, the evil slave trespassed into Jingxingyuan, I don't know what the conspiracy is, we have no right to release people, we have to wait for the young lady to come back and deal with it!" ”

"Who are you?" Lao Wu asked.

Zhao Han replied, "I am the loyal servant of the eldest young master. ”

The fifth child could only shout: "The master said, release the people quickly, today's events are not to blame." ”

Zhao Han was surprised: "Could it be that these evil slaves who trespassed into the boudoir of the inner courtyard were actually sent by the old lady?" ”

"Naturally not!" How dare the fifth admit it.

Zhao Han reprimanded angrily: "Since it was not sent by the old lady, how can the old lady say that he is not to blame in the past?" Boldly slave, ill-intentioned, and dared to falsely pass on the old lady's orders, where did he want to put the old lady? Whoever is your surname, don't report your name quickly! ”

"I ...... You ......" Lao Wu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Zhao Han sneered: "Is it that I have exposed my true face and are already speechless?" ”

"You...... I...... I'm mad at me! "The fifth child stomped his feet frantically, carried the pot for no reason, rushed with blood and blood, and almost fainted.

At this moment, Lou returned.

Ignoring the situation in front of him, Lou walked slowly without the slightest anger on his face. She walked to the gate of the courtyard and said softly, "I'm back, open the door." ”

"Babble!"

The heavy courtyard door immediately opened, making a tooth-aching sound.

Lou Shi said: "Hushu is old, it's time to be oiled, this voice is very harsh." ”

Zhao Han held his knife and clenched his fists: "Madam, there are evil slaves who have trespassed into Jingxingyuan today, and they have been taken down by me and locked up in the firewood room. ”

The maid Dongfu suddenly stepped forward and whispered in Lou's ear, retelling the story as it had happened.

Lou smiled and praised: "Brother Han, you are very good." ”

Zhao Han replied: "It's a matter of duty." ”

Lou said to the other servants, "You are also very good. ”

All the servants are overjoyed, and the reward must be indispensable.

Lao Wu stepped forward and said, "Young lady......"

"Don't worry," Lou Shi immediately interrupted, "I haven't sorted out the matter here, so I'll take my time one by one." ”

The fifth child wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't speak after all.

Lou suddenly scolded: "Come on, drag out the Diao slave who eats inside and out!" ”

Who eats inside and out?

Mrs. Ling, of course!

Even if it's not, it must be, because she is an old lady's person, and she must pack one up today and show it to the old lady and the old lady.

Mrs. Ling was dragged into the courtyard and shouted in horror: "Madame, spare your life, you are wronged!" ”

Fei Chun was also shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Madam, you spare my mother, my mother did not collude with outsiders." ”

Lou Shi said to Mo Xiang: "Let me ask you, what are the crimes of this Diao slave?" ”

Mo Xiang didn't need to read the manuscript, he just opened his mouth: "I have an account book, so I won't talk about the detailed account, and the odds will simply be erased." In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Ling's greed for ink deducted forty-seven taels. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Ling's greed for ink was deducted seventy-nine taels. In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Ling's greed for ink deducted one hundred and twenty-five taels ......"

The chief steward of Jing Xingyuan, Mrs. Ling's husband, and Fei Chun's father, Fei Li, was not at home at the moment, and was ordered to go to the grange to collect summer grain rents - Fei Yinghuan has a field under his name.

Mrs. Ling trembled with fright, and kowtowed frantically to beg for mercy.

"Call me!" Lou shouted angrily.

Fei Chun could only ask Fei Ruhe for help, crying: "Young master, save my mother." ”

Fei Ruhe was a little soft-hearted and said, "Mother......"

"Shut up!"

Lou scolded and ordered: "Beat hard, kill and cripple!" ”

"Ah...... Madame spare her life! ”

Mrs. Ling let out a terrible scream, perhaps losing her mind in pain, and finally shouted: "Young lady, I am the old lady's person, you can't beat me to death like this!" ”

"Kill, kill me!" Lou grew angrier.

Seeing that Mrs. Ling was beaten to the ground, Zhao Han stepped forward and reminded: "Madam, you have to show some affection to the young master." ”

The young master in these words refers to both Fei Yinghuan and Fei Ruhe.

It's just because Mrs. Ling's husband is a scholar who grew up with Fei Yinghuan. And Mrs. Ling's son is a scholar who grew up with Fei Ruhe.

Lou Shi vented his anger, heard Zhao Han pleading, raised his hand and said, "Stop." ”

Madame Ling was already fainting.

Lou asked, "Are you guilty?" ”

"Guilty, guilty." Mrs. Ling was powerless.

Lou Shi asked again: "Who are you?" ”

Mrs. Ling wept and replied: "I was born as a young lady, and died as a ghost of the young lady." ”

Lou sneered: "Send it for treatment." Deduct the monthly money of the slaves in the courtyard, and you can make up it yourself within half a month, otherwise I will sell you! As for your greedy money, I will not pursue it...... Mrs. Ling! ”

"Make it up, make it up, make it up," Mrs. Ling cried in horror, "Thank you Madame for your kindness, thank you Madame for your kindness." The slave maid is not Mrs. Ling, the slave maid is a cheap maid, and she doesn't dare to call her any more lady. I don't dare to call myself a lady, I am a, and a slave is a. It's a, it's a......"

Lou didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, and ordered: "Bring out all the evil slaves in the firewood room, and I will personally send them back to Gongbei Garden!" ”

A total of nineteen house slaves were tied up and all taken out of the firewood room.

Lou said to the house slaves, "Let's go, follow me to the old lady." ”

ordered everyone to disperse, Lou only took a maid, and walked to Fei Yuanyi's Gongbei Garden.

She stood in the courtyard and shouted, "My daughter-in-law has come to ask my father-in-law for peace, and there are some evil slaves who have trespassed into her daughter-in-law's inner courtyard." The person who didn't know that he was his father-in-law before, but now that he has been interrogated clearly, his daughter-in-law did not dare to make an assertion, so he brought it to his father-in-law and handed it over. ”

Fei Yuanyi's voice came from the back room: "I will deal with these evil slaves." It's getting late, so go back. ”

"Daughter-in-law retires!" Lou saluted and withdrew.

"Poof!"

There was a muffled sound in the back room, but it was the old lady who was smashing things again.
