Chapter 217: Big Trouble
One person was pushing a cart with a coffin on it. The person who pushed the cart, dressed in linen and filial piety, pushed the coffin all the way, and went straight to the opposite side of the Zhennan Palace, and then knelt next to the coffin, crying and crying: "My eldest brother, you died in vain - you fled here, I thought that the Zhou family was really a good person, and was willing to reward us with a mouthful of porridge to eat, so that we would not starve to death on the streets." But who would have thought that a bowl of porridge would cost you your life! Pity my sister-in-law who has to be widowed at a young age, and pity my nephews and nieces who have no father at a young age! In the future, our family, without your pillar, how should we live! The Zhou family is still relying on its great power and won't give us an explanation! Big brother, you died so unjustly—"
The whole process was extremely neat, and there was no stagnation or hesitation. Apparently prepared.
Needless to say, this man who was dressed in linen and wore filial piety and cried for mourning was the same Yongzi who came to Nàoshi last time with Xue Liu's family. The coffin draped in white cloth was already attracting attention, and with his loud cry, many people suddenly surrounded him.
There are too many people, and it is inevitable to talk about each other, so gradually, there are all the people in the crowd who have anything to say: some say that the Zhou family cares about people's lives, some say that the Zhou family is bullying, and some people even take Zhou Ruijing out and say something, saying that the Zhou family is cold-blooded and ruthless. Naturally, there are also fair ones, who open their mouths to defend the Zhou family for a sentence or two, and there are also those who can see it clearly, saying that Yongzi is just to make more money.
For a while, there were always different opinions, and it was extremely lively.
The people in the concierge of the Zhou family were naturally furious when they saw such a situation. Yongzi just moved too fast, and they didn't wipe it for a while to let Yongzi succeed. At this time, he finally came back to his senses and rushed forward.
These few people naturally recognized Yongzi as the one who hurt someone last time he came to Nàoshi. At that moment, his face sank even more. A middle-aged strong man walked at the forefront, glared at Yongzi like a golden eye, and reprimanded loudly: "Bah." You Diao people, why did you come to nàoshi again! ”
Yongzi was very prepared this time, and he didn't know what to think in his heart. He was not afraid at all, but cried: "I cry for my brother, what's wrong?!" ”
The middle-aged strong man stared. Extremely strong: "I'm going to cry back to your house and cry!" Why is this in front of our Zhennan Palace? I know you, you didn't make it last time. This time it's coming again, aren't you afraid at all? ”
"What am I afraid of?" Yongzi sneered, and after sweeping his eyes into the crowd, he actually straightened up again, and looked at the middle-aged strong man without fear: "If you have the ability, you only kill me, I happen to be on the road with my brother!" ”
Yongzi's "brave" performance; Immediately, the surrounding people cheered. It's just that those who applaud don't know what they have in mind. But more people are shaking their heads in disdain. Yongzi's unreasonable behavior is somewhat disgraceful.
When Yongzi heard the applause, his courage suddenly strengthened by three points, and he straightened his chest again, opened his mouth and said, "I didn't beat you last time, so let you get out." This time, I won't retreat even if I die! I want to see how your Zhou family is rampant at the feet of the Son of Heaven! I don't believe it. There is no king's law in this world! My brother was killed by you, and I can't even say anything? ”
The middle-aged strong man frowned, and was about to continue to speak, but was stopped by a calmer one behind. whispered a word of comfort: "It's better to go back to the princess first." What are we arguing with him? I didn't have to get into trouble. When the time comes, it will be like this miscellaneous intention. ”
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged strong man also felt that it was very right, so he stopped talking at the moment, and after snorting coldly, he stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he quickly sent someone to tell him.
So, there was a scene where the mother-in-law hurriedly returned to Gu Wanyin.
When Gu Wanyin sent someone out to watch, there were a few more people watching the excitement outside.
Gu Wanyin was reluctant to argue with Yongzi, but it made people even more lively. At that moment, he only ordered the people of Zhennan Wangfu not to act rashly, and only waited for the yamen to come.
Gu Wanyin sat calmly in the weeping flower hall, thought about it and then ordered: "Go and see if the third master is at home, if so, let the third master come over." If not, go and see the second young master again, and invite the second young master to come. "There is such a big thing, and she has to make trouble with the government, it is really difficult for her to come forward as a woman, and the family should always send a man to it. At least on the Yamen side, men can talk to each other better.
At the same time, what made Gu Wanyin most uneasy was the third wife-I wonder if the third wife could hide the news and not let the old lady know?
Just when Gu Wanyin was anxious but forced herself to calm down, the other big families in Beijing also knew about it. Those who have disagreements with the Zhou family naturally applaud, gloating, and even privately thinking about whether they should fall into the ground. And those who are good friends with the Zhou family are naturally extremely worried. And others, but with a wait-and-see attitude.
For a while, this matter was even more talked about than the continuous rainstorm a few days ago.
The Gu family naturally knew about this matter. The eldest wife of the Gu family, Li's first reaction was to block the news and not allow anyone to tell Mrs. Gu. And he took a carriage to see what was going on.
After Li only glanced at the situation at the gate of the Gu family from a distance, he was taken aback - this situation was almost as lively as the situation when Gu Wanyin got married that day. The inner three floors and the outer three floors surrounded the Zhennan Palace.
After taking a look, Li instructed the coachman to go to the side gate of the Zhennan Palace. Quietly entered the palace through the side door.
Gu Wanyin was naturally overjoyed when she got the news of Li's coming-she was still young, and she had never encountered such a thing, and she didn't dare to trust others on the Zhou family's side, so she could only hold on. Now that the Li family is here, there is someone to help come up with an idea or something. At the moment, people were busy welcoming Li to the Hanging Flower Hall.
When Li saw Gu Wanyin, he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly asked straight to the point, "What's going on?" How did you make such a big deal out of it? ”
You know, even if a person dies because of a problem with the porridge, it's not a big deal. The two sides negotiated privately, dredged up one or two more with the government, and got some silver. No one else will know. But the Zhou family made such a fuss.
How can this be called Li's not to be surprised or panicked? The most important thing is that she just came in, and when she saw that there was no one else in the weeping flower hall except Gu Wanyin, she immediately knew that only Gu Wanyin was dealing with this matter, and then thought about it, she was afraid that Gu Wanyin would be blamed, and her face naturally sank by three points.
Gu Wanyin, a new daughter-in-law, how can she support such a big event alone? This is clearly a mutual shirk. Let Gu Wanyin be the top tank.
Gu Wanyin naturally knew that the Li family was here for this matter, and said with a wry smile at the moment: "It's hard to say, there are many people here who can't say it clearly, and when this matter stops, I'll tell you carefully." ”
"Okay, so what's going on now? Is there a way to solve it? You can't always be there. Li Shi frowned, his face gloomy: "Don't say anything about it, it's so bad." Now that the prince is outside, don't let this bad luck rush. If you want me to say, this act of carrying the coffin to the door is too damaging. It's clearly cursing the Zhou family! ”
When Gu Wanyin heard Li say this, she was a little taboo in her heart - after all, she could die and be reborn, which shows that there is no such thing as gods and Buddhas in the world.
It's just that she is most anxious in her heart, but she is helpless: "It's going to be for a while, and there's no way." Our Zhou family can't beat him now, and we can't scold him. ”
The person behind that must have calculated the reaction of the Zhou family a long time ago. After all, at this time, if the Zhou family really bombarded people or forcibly pulled the coffin elsewhere, what would the people think? How will it be discussed?
The Zhou family is now on the cusp. Don't act rashly.
"It's a tough thing to do." Li sighed, and his heart was also annoyed. Then he frowned, and asked again: "Why are you the only one in charge?" ”
Gu Wanyin naturally knew what the Li family was asking, and immediately pulled out a slight smile: "Auntie doesn't know, I just took over the feeder a few days ago." Now that the old lady and the second lady are sick, I dare not disturb their recuperation. After all, it's not a big deal, what does the eldest aunt think? ”
Li Shi pondered for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Since they are sick, naturally they should not disturb their recuperation." It's not a big deal, indeed. "If this matter can be handled well, Gu Wanyin will be able to firmly grasp the middle feed in the future. The old lady of the Zhou family will not say anything at that time.
It's just that the Li family was still a little worried, and the conversation changed and said: "It's just that you are still young after all, and you should discuss everything with your elders." "You can't just take the blame on yourself.
After all, although this matter is not an earth-shattering event, according to such a trouble, it can be seen that the other party is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In case the time comes—
"Don't worry, auntie, the third wife has helped me a lot." Gu Wanyin pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly. Although she used some means to make the third wife have to agree to join forces with her, but in any case, the third wife has already boarded the thief ship.
Li nodded, and after thinking about it, he was still a little uneasy, so he mentioned again: "It's best to have someone discuss with you." It's just that I don't know if the third wife is reliable or not? The second half of the sentence really lowered the voice, and even the girls who stood close couldn't hear it.
Gu Wanyin naturally knew what the Li family was worried about. Li was worried that the third wife would change her mind temporarily, and then sold her.
To be honest, Gu Wanyin herself was also a little worried.
