Chapter 144: Heinous
The next day, the old patriarch was lazily lying on the Luohan couch, and Erlang's legs were crossed, smoking a cigarette pouch.
Last night, he saw Honghuxuan's flames soaring into the sky, such a big fire, Chu Zishan, a dead girl, was definitely dead, and the Chu family was safe from then on.
It's almost noon, he didn't see Wang's coming to report the good news, according to Wang's temperament, he will come to him for credit as soon as possible, and then take the opportunity to ask for some benefits.
He underestimated in his heart, so he called the housekeeper to find the Wang family.
As soon as the housekeeper walked out of the Ming Hall, he saw Chu Zishan entering the gate with four martial maids.
He was shocked, and hurriedly ran back, "Master, it's not good, it's not good, then, Chu Zishan is not dead, she, she's here......
"Who isn't dead?"
Without waiting for the old patriarch to react, Chu Zishan had already stepped into the Ming Hall, she raised her eyebrows, and looked at the old patriarch with a shocked face.
"What kind of expression is this old patriarch, how can you see me like a ghost?"
"Uh, no, I ,......."
The old patriarch, who had always been calm, said something, he got up and looked at Chu Zishan with a dry smile: "That, Zishan, why are you here at this time?"
"The old patriarch is really old, and his memory is not very good, I just asked the maid to bring you a message yesterday, saying that the severance pay for the wounded soldiers will be prepared in the past two days, have you forgotten?"
"Oh, this, this, isn't it two days yet?"
The old patriarch said, pointing to the butler, "Who is that, how is the matter of paying your severance pay?"
He couldn't answer Chu Zishan, so he threw the question to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper nodded and smiled, "Back to the master, it's not easy to make up so much money for a while."
"Hurry up, don't delay Zishan's business." The old patriarch pretended to be in control.
"Okay, I'll get the money together as soon as possible."
The housekeeper said that he went and brought the teapot over, and looked at Chu Zishan with a smile: "Big girl, don't stand, please sit down, I will pour you tea, this tea is the best oolong, the old slave remembers that this is the fifth master's favorite tea."
Chu Zishan sat down, but he stretched out his hand to cover the tea cup, looked at the courteous housekeeper and said, "My grandfather doesn't drink oolong now, his old man and the tea farmers in the border city have learned to grow tea, and now they all drink the tea they grow, I brought some with me, and I brought some to the old patriarch in Ming'er, you can taste it, it's not worse than this oolong."
"The old man planted it himself, so dare to be kind, you must try it." The old man laughed.
"There was something yesterday that I want to ask the old patriarch......
"Zishan, you girl is a person who is dedicated to doing things, some things must be solved immediately, this is the first time you have come to the hometown of the old clan, after a while, I will take you around, by the way, I have already chosen the place to build the ancestral temple, you stay with me for lunch, after eating, I will take you to see ......
The old patriarch kept talking about it, and the housekeeper was also singing and singing, not letting Chu Zishan speak at all.
Chu Zishan knew that the old patriarch was a matter of the weak Wang clan going to burn her Honghu Xuan.
Looking at the old patriarch who had been chattering endlessly, Chu Zishan looked at the white porcelain teacup in his hand silently.
This is the official kiln white porcelain, Gu Yimo once gave his mother a set, and her mother said that it was too expensive to accept it, but her heart was happy.
Later, I heard from the second aunt that this official kiln white porcelain is basically only for the royal family, and the emperor will occasionally give it to ***, which is a great honor.
A mediocre family of the Chu family actually used white porcelain exclusively for the royal family, hum, it is really a lack of people's hearts, and the snake swallows the elephant.
It's really the other way around.
Thinking about it, she used a slight force in her hand, and there was a click, the sound was extremely crisp, and the tea soup flowed on the table, and she let go, and the white porcelain tea cup had been broken in half.
"Oh, my dripping mother." The old patriarch jumped up suddenly, looked at the broken white porcelain teacup in great distress, slapped his thighs, and stomped his feet.
"You, you, you......"
He glared at Chu Zishan angrily, seeing him looking at him coldly
He swallowed back the words that he wanted to curse.
"Ah, no defense, no defense, hehe......
The old patriarch laughed more ugly than crying, turned around and gritted his teeth viciously, cursing Chu Zishan in his heart for being a dead girl, and it would be good to cut it with a thousand knives.
Chu Zishan squinted and smiled at the old patriarch who was about to suffocate his internal injuries, "It's just a broken cup, look at the old patriarch's distress, I have a lot of sets of white porcelain in the mansion, I'll go back and send you a set of compensation."
"Hey, you kid, where do I feel sorry for that teacup, I'm afraid of hurting your hand."
The old patriarch softened his emotions and regained the elder's loving smile.
"I told the old patriarch that day, does the old patriarch have any plans for the scapegoat?" Chu Zishan asked.
Hearing this, the old patriarch's face was slightly complicated, and he stroked his beard with a few hairs: "I think there is one person who is more suitable, he is the concubine of your third uncle's family and your fifth uncle......
"Isn't it the mother and son of the Wang family who do a lot of evil?" Chu Zishan frowned, and his eyes became cold.
"The reputation of the Wang family and their mother is not very good, but they have made a great contribution to the clan, Zishan, you have also grown up now, and sometimes you will do helpless snatching for the sake of the family, which will naturally be criticized by outsiders......
"It's a concubine again." Chu Zishan smiled coldly: "In your eyes, concubines give birth to concubines, they should die, right?"
"Of course not, if I want, I won't hand over any of the Chu family, but Zishan insists on handing over a scapegoat to protect the family, after weighing the pros and cons, I selected this concubine, this person is idle, useless, all day long at home and relying on the help of the clan to survive, let such a waste to bear the guilt, isn't it a happy thing?"
Chu Zishan took the case and glared at the old patriarch angrily: "You have done all the evil things, but let an innocent person bear the guilt, this is what you call everyone happy, bullshit."
"Chu Zishan, you are too presumptuous."
The old patriarch also jumped up and pointed at Chu Zishan angrily.
Chu Zishan stretched out his hand, and in midsummer handed her a booklet, and she fell directly on the face of the old patriarch.
"Of the ten heinous evils, one is rebellion, two is rebellion, three is rebellion, four is rebellion, five is disobedience, six is great disrespect, seven is unfilial piety, eight is disharmony, nine is injustice, and ten is civil strife. Except for civil strife, all the nine evils have been taken over by you.
According to the laws of Great Xia, ten of your heads are not enough to cut off, and you are a sinner who still shouts at me, where do you have the face?"
The old patriarch looked at the booklet in his hand, which clearly recorded all the evil deeds done by his Chu family, and there were also the signatures and handprints of many people.
This is equivalent to a book of all people, if this book is handed over to the official office, his Chu family will have to be copied and beheaded.
