Chapter Ninety-Six: Rectifying Sun Zhigao
When Li Hao followed his subordinates into the inner courtyard, he saw that only the old lady was there, and he felt a little strange in his heart.
After saying hello and sitting down, the old lady said: "There was a farce in the Sheng family yesterday, and I have to thank you for your help, otherwise it will be a joke for outsiders."
This matter should have been personally thanked by the people of the big house, but there are some things to be busy these days, so they have dragged me to say, so that you don't have to blame. ”
Li Hao hurriedly replied: "The old lady will torment me, and when the road is uneven, she still draws a knife to help, not to mention that I am always related to the Sheng family, which is even less worthy of a thank you." ”
When she heard this, the old lady was happy and said, "You are a good boy. But thanks are still due, and when the days are over, Sheng Wei and Changwu will come to thank you, so you don't have to be polite. ”
Li Hao said a few words modestly about this, and then asked: "What is Uncle Sheng busy with these days, and how does Uncle Sheng plan to deal with the affairs of the Sun family, can he just endure it?" ”
Then the old lady sighed and said, "This is what I am busy with now, after discussing with the Sheng family yesterday, it was decided to let Shulan and Sun Zhigao reconcile, and now they are thinking of a way to do this." ”
Hearing this, Li Hao was relieved, knowing that the Sheng family's plan had not changed, so he could find a way to rectify Sun Zhigao.
can't let Sun Zhigao be like in the play, he also got a dowry of more than 1,000 taels of silver from Shulan when he left, and he had to have a better ending before he could be angry.
Li Hao was thinking about it, and suddenly the old lady continued to speak: "Speaking of this, I have to talk about your bold cousin, yesterday after hearing that Sun Zhigao had no talent and no virtue, and actually beat Shulan girl in order to admit a woman from a prostitute to enter the door.
When the big house had not yet made a decision, he first persuaded Shulan to leave in front of everyone and escaped from the tiger and wolf's den, which was really bold. ”
There was still three points of annoyance in his tone, but Li Hao knew that the old lady was just pretending, and he didn't know how happy he was.
So he answered: "My cousin is a warm-hearted person, and when I see my cousin being humiliated, I am willing to come forward to help, which is a good thing."
On the contrary, it is not right for those who only know what to do when they encounter problems. The old lady should be happy that my cousin can have this demeanor. ”
Hearing what Li Hao said, the old lady couldn't help laughing and said, "You, you know how to help her speak." ”
Li Hao replied: "I'm just telling the truth." ”
After chatting a few more words, Li Hao went back to the room, ready to find Zhang Wen and ask him to go out to inquire about the news as he said yesterday.
As a result, when Li Hao arrived in Zhang's greenhouse, he knew that he had gone out early in the morning, and he was very positive.
After learning that Zhang Wen had gone to inquire about the news, Li Hao was not in a hurry, so he simply went back to the room to continue to rest, just waiting for Zhang Wen to come back, and then discuss how to deal with it.
When it was almost noon, Zhang Wen returned to Sheng's house and came to Li Hao to inform him of the news he had heard today.
As for Yuan Wenshao and Gu Tingye, they were also brought over by Zhang Wen.
After the four of them sat down, Zhang Wen began to introduce the situation and said: "The Sun family was originally a broken family, the family was orphaned and widowed, and they all relied on their grandmother's pulp and laundry to live.
Sun Zhigao was still motivated, and he was a Xiucai at the age of twelve, and it was precisely because of this motivation that the Sheng family married their own girl.
But after the Sheng family girl got married, the ugly faces of the Sun family's mother and son were revealed.
First of all, Sun Zhigao didn't want to forge ahead, and he was nostalgic for the land of fireworks all day long, and he no longer studied hard, so he repeatedly missed the back.
Then the mother and son of the Sun family recorded this matter on the head of Miss Shulan, and since then they have been constantly bullying and insulting, completely ignoring the fact that their own food and drink depend on Miss Shulan's dowry.
Even because she had married a wife for many years and had no heirs, she forced Miss Shulan to pay twenty-two or three concubines in three years, and they all used the Sheng family's money.
This act is truly outrageous, and I have never seen anyone like this in Bianjing. also said that he was insulted by Sven, I think he Sun Zhigao is the most insulting Sven when he is alive. ”
After scolding, he continued: "In addition, I also asked the cause of this incident today.
It turned out that Sun Zhigao recently found a prostitute, saying that he was pregnant, so he ransomed himself and said that he wanted to be included in the family.
But the Sheng family's family rules do not allow prostitutes to enter, so they annoyed the Sun family's mother and son. ”
"In addition, on the way back, I also heard that the Sheng family sent a housekeeper to the Sun family to talk about reconciliation and divorce today, and was kicked out by the Sun family's mother and son, and said loudly that there was only a divorce from his wife, not a divorce, which made a lot of noise outside."
After listening to what Zhang Wen said, Li Hao only nodded, indicating that he knew, after all, Li Hao knew these things.
At first, I asked Zhang Wen to inquire just to find a reason, so as not to know the news out of thin air and arouse suspicion.
But Gu Tingye and Yuan Wenshao next to him were really angry, and they all said that they wanted to teach Sun Zhigao a lesson and help Shulan get out of the sea of suffering, so they asked Li Hao: "You asked me to inquire about the news, what do you have any ideas after listening to it now?" ”
Li Hao replied: "In what Zhang Wen said just now, there is a little problem, have you noticed?
There are twenty-two or three of Sun Zhigao's concubines, none of whom have been pregnant for three years, and now a prostitute is pregnant with a child, don't you think it's strange. ”
Hearing Li Hao's words, the three of them glanced at each other, and then asked, "You suspect that the prostitute is pregnant, not Sun Zhigao's child, no?" ”
Hearing this, Li Hao was a little speechless, to be honest, Li Hao didn't quite understand why the ancients thought that it was a woman's problem to give birth to an heir.
So he explained: "If you think about it carefully, even if it happens that a woman can't have children, it won't be enough to accept more than 20 people, it's too coincidental."
What's more, it's not a woman from a good family who is pregnant now, but a prostitute, if there is no problem here, I really don't believe it. ”
After listening to what Li Hao said, the three of them thought about it carefully, but even so, what does it have to do with the harmony between the two families.
So Zhang Wen asked: "But even if this is true, what can it be, what does this matter have to do with reasonableness." ”
Li Hao explained: "This relationship is big, there is an article in "Song Jian's Grand Detailed Determination of the Criminal System", the husband moves to the township to manage it, and the married person who leaves the hometown listens to it.
What does it mean, when a man is assigned to serve in the army, the woman can ask the government to leave directly.
Do you think that if that woman really had an affair with an outsider, Sun Zhigao would know about it and be able to endure it. ”
Zhang Wen said: "Naturally, it can't be endured, which man can endure this kind of thing." ”
Hearing Zhang Wen's words, Gu Tingye clapped his hands and said, "That's right, so as long as he knows what he did to the woman, he will be able to deal with it according to the law."
After all, he ransomed that woman, then he was no longer a lowly person, and if he really did it ruthlessly, wouldn't it be difficult to arrange what to do with it. ”
At this time, Zhang Wen suddenly felt enlightened and said, "Okay, then I'll find someone to check the news." ”
After saying that, he got up and left, without hesitation at all.
This scene made Li Hao feel wrong, so he asked Gu Tingye and Yuan Wenshao: "Did Zhang Wen do things so actively, I didn't see it before." ”
The other two were also a little strange when they heard Li Hao say this, but Yuan Wenshao thought about it a lot, and only thought that he was anxious for justice and righteousness.
On the contrary, Gu Tingye seemed to see something, but he didn't say anything, just listened to the news and prepared to leave.
At this time, Li Hao suddenly thought that the prostitute's deed of ownership was still in the Qinglou, so he said to Gu Tingye: "There is another matter for you, you can help go to the Qinglou to ask, and see if all the documents of the prostitute have been handed over to the Sun family."
After all, the Sun family has always been poor, everything was given to Zhang Luo by the Sheng family, and many joints may not know, and the Sun family will definitely not dare to let the Sheng family do it.
So maybe there's something missing, you go and ask, anyway, Qinglou, you're not familiar with the road, so you won't bother others. ”
Hearing Li Hao say this, Gu Tingye defended: "Don't talk nonsense, since I have been studying, I have long been no longer in the place of fireworks, don't ruin my reputation." ”
Li Hao replied: "Okay, okay, I know that you have changed your mind, I said it wrong, this time it was you who reluctantly made it difficult to save people, so it's okay." ”
Hearing this, Gu Tingye got up to leave, and then Yuan Wenshao asked Li Hao if there was anything he wanted him to do.
