Chapter 42: Uncle Lu Wei
On the way to Zhuangzi, Zhang Yuying was full of anger all the way, scolding Zhang Yuqing, "It's just a broom star of the father and mother, stirring up so many things!" ”
"My mother was soft-hearted and too kind to people to allow her to jump up and down!" Zhang Yuying snorted coldly, "If I take care of this matter, how can I have a chance for her to jump!" It's also a good time for her to catch up with her brother Qian's exam, otherwise her mother won't have the energy to clean her up! ”
The accompanying maids were also filled with righteous indignation, helping their own young lady to scold the hateful broom Xingzhang Yuqing in turn, for fear that she would not scold her hard enough and make her master doubt her loyalty.
The ox cart stopped, and the little man who drove the cart said, "Girl, when you arrive at the entrance of the village, the road ahead is blocked, and the car can't pass!" ”
Zhang Yuying lifted the curtain and saw that there was no one at the intersection, only a big tree that had been sawn off by the waist blocked the road, so she had to step on a stool and get out of the car with the support of the maid.
"What is Uncle Tong doing! Didn't I tell him I was coming! Why don't you even pick up someone! Zhang Yuying was angry, the fan in her hand shook and flew, looking at the soil on the ground staining the new and gorgeous embroidered shoes, and her heart was furious.
The road was blocked, and Zhang Yuying had to walk into Zhuangzi by herself.
Several people walked all the way to Zhuangtou's house and saw the three layers inside and three layers outside the door of Zhuangtou's house.
The little guy hurriedly shouted: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! The Lord's house is coming! ”
The onlookers dodged a way, Zhang Yuying had a cold face, covered her mouth and nose with a fan with incense, and walked in disgusted.
These mud legs really stink to death!
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Zhang Yuying was stunned.
There are not only Guo Tong and officials in the courtyard, but also Lu Wei!
Zhang Yuying was surprised and delighted, didn't care about looking at Guo Tong, walked up to Lu Wei, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" Without waiting for Lu Wei to answer, Zhang Yuying smiled softly and softly: "Did you come here after hearing about the Zhang family's invitation to the official?" ”
Lu Wei didn't say anything.
He has always been silent, and Zhang Yuying acquiesced to him.
Thinking that Lu Wei heard that there was something wrong with the Zhang family, he rushed over to help, Zhang Yuying's heart was warm, and the state of the three Buddhas who had ascended to heaven by Zhang Yuqing's anger was swept away, and her smile became more beautiful and gentle.
"It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth the trouble for you to make a trip yourself!" Zhang Yuying said with a smile.
Zhang Yuying looked around the courtyard, except for Lu Wei and the others, Zhuangtou's family, a few officials, not to mention the prisoners, even Guo Tong was nowhere to be seen.
"What about the troublemakers? Can you catch it? Zhang Yuying asked Lu Wei, and sighed again, "It's terrible to actually commit murder and hurt people in broad daylight!" ”
Several officials looked at Lu Wei's cold handsome face and didn't dare to say anything.
The Zhuangtou family didn't dare to come out.
"Didn't catch them." Lu Wei said.
Zhang Yuying was taken aback, "They ran away?" ”
Lu Wei shook his head, his face became even colder, "No." ”
"Then why don't you catch it?" Zhang Yuying frowned and asked a few officials.
Several officials lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.
Lu Wei said: "Those people said that it was a person named Guo Tong who made the first move, and he was still blocking their way at Zhuangzikou. ”
Zhang Yuying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said, "You don't know, Guo Tong is my cousin's uncle, and he has been helping here all these years. My cousin was honest and loyal, and he was always kind to others. How could officials listen to only the words of those thug-beating people? ”
Lu Wei took a deep look at Zhang Yuying, who was smiling gently.
"What do you think should be done with the thugs who beat people?" Lu Wei asked.
Zhang Yuying just wanted to open her mouth and say that she would put these thugs in prison, but suddenly thought that the other party was Lu Wei, wouldn't it seem that she was unforgiving, not gentle and virtuous enough?
"The state has national laws, the family has family rules, and if you commit murder and hurt people, how to judge it, leave it to the adults of Jingzhao Mansion, lest some people say that we are bullying others." Zhang Yuying sighed slightly, very helpless.
Lu Wei nodded.
Zhang Yuying breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile deepened a lot.
"Then how does Guo Tong judge?" Lu Wei asked.
Zhang Yuying was stunned, and after reacting, she stammered: "Uncle Tong is the victim, he, what is he sentenced?" ”
"The person who hurt Guo Tong said that Guo Tong prevented them from buying this Zhuangzi, and that led to a quarrel." Lu Wei said.
Zhang Yuying said: "This Zhuangzi belongs to my family, and I don't plan to sell it for the time being, and I don't know where these people heard the news of chasing the wind and shadows......
"The person who can commit the murder said that this Zhuangzi is the dowry of the late eldest lady of the Zhang family, An's family, and it is her private property, not the Zhang family." Lu Wei said again.
The smile on Zhang Yuying's face was a little stiff, and she hurriedly said: "That, that was a long time ago, and there have been many changes in the middle, and it is my mother who has been bothering to manage and ...... things."
Fang Mo couldn't help but say: "Miss Zhang, no matter how long ago it was, and no matter what kind of heart your mother had for this Zhuangzi, if this Zhuangzi is not yours, it is not yours!" ”
According to this, the tenants on the Zhuangzi are the most troubled by this Zhuangzi, they plant the land for a few years, and this Zhuangzi will become theirs?
Zhang Yuying's face changed a few times, and she held back her anger and said: "Fang Mo, I know that you hate me for not helping your senior brother, but I have already explained it to you, not to mention how I, a boudoir woman, can be involved in the affairs of the court, and I don't have the ability to help your senior brother escape punishment!" ”
As she spoke, Zhang Yuying's eyes turned red, and she looked at Lu Wei aggrievedly, "The law is strict, how can I bend the law for personal gain!" You know it too! ”
"I didn't let you bend the law for personal gain!" Fang Mo was anxious, "Just talk about things, this Zhuangzi ......"
Lu Wei raised his hand, stopped Fang Mo's words, and asked Zhang Yuying, "Do you know about Guo Tong preventing people from coming to buy Zhuangzi?" ”
Zhang Yuying looked at him in surprise, hesitating in her heart.
Lu Wei looked at everyone with that calm and cold appearance, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking in his heart at all.
"Looks like you know." Lu Wei said clearly.
Zhang Yuying could barely hold back a smile on her face, and said, "I don't mention this in advance......" She turned her head to the official messenger and asked, "What about the perpetrator?" If you don't catch it quickly, you'll abscond! ”
Lu Wei looked at her with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "I hit Guo Tong, Miss Zhang, do you want the people from the government to arrest me?" ”
Zhang Yuying suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Wei, shocked in disbelief, took two steps back, and stammered and asked, "You, you, you hit, hit ......"
"I hit Guo Tong." Lu Wei retold it.
Fang Mo said: "Not only did he prevent us from entering the village, but he also kept saying that even if the son of the Duanshu County Lord came, he would have to call him uncle!" There is a duanshu county lord as a backer, and your Zhang family can do whatever they want! ”
Zhang Yuying's face was pale, her ears were buzzing, her hands and feet were cold, and she was standing there eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
No wonder Lu Wei is here, so it is!
The maid behind Zhang Yuying couldn't wait to shrink into quails, shivering, and no longer had the high-spirited and nostril-looking style when she first came.
"The officials are here, do you want them to arrest me?" Lu Wei asked coldly.
After a while, Zhang Yuying squeezed out a smile on her face, clutched the handkerchief in her hand, and said embarrassedly: "You, why didn't you say it earlier?" It's all a misunderstanding...... You, how did you get here? ”
"If I don't come, I don't know that I have an extra uncle, who will be powerful and blessed in my name!" Lu Wei said.
Zhang Yuying's hands and feet were shaking, and she hurriedly said, "How come!" Uncle Tong, Guo Tong him, he, he ......"
"Guo Tong is honest and loyal, and he has always been kind to others." Lu Wei said slowly, his eyes were indifferent and cold, full of sarcasm.
Zhang Yuying's heart was crossed, and said: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, it is really hateful that he did such a rebellious thing!" I'll let him kneel and kowtow to you to make amends! ”
"No need." Lu Wei said, "Since you didn't mean to let the government arrest me, let's talk about this Zhuangzi next." ”
Zhang Yuying twisted the handkerchief and said with a forced smile on her face: "What is there to say about Zhuangzi?" I've just made it clear. ”
Lu Wei shook his head, "You only made it clear that this Zhuangzi is the dowry of the Zhang family's late eldest lady An, not the private property of the Zhang family, but you didn't make it clear why you connived and instigated Guo Tong to stop the sale of Zhuangzi here." ”
Zhang Yuying trembled and tapped the handkerchief on the tip of her nose, covered her mouth again, and glanced at Lu Wei quickly.
She just thought that Lu Wei was here for her, but is there a possibility, Lu Wei is here to give Zhang Yuqing a head!
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Yuying's heart felt like a stormy wave, making her almost unsteady.
When did these two hook up? Zhang Yuqing, that country girl, how dare she!
"This is the Zhang family's business, why do you ask that? But who told you to come? Zhang Yuying plucked up the courage to ask.
Lu Wei suddenly curled the corners of his lips and smiled.
He was already handsome, and when he smiled like this, he became more and more handsome.
Zhang Yuying also laughed, thinking that this matter would be over.
Lu Wei had a smile on his face, but the words he said were cold, "The people of the Zhang family are using my name to do things that are out of the house, I can't ask?" Or are you going to trouble the person who told me about it? ”
Even if Zhang Yuying is his unfinished wife, the Zhang family can't use his banner to eat out of the house, it's really too inferior!
Fang Mo and Fang Qin didn't dare to make a sound.
Anyone who knows Lu Wei knows that Lu Wei doesn't like to laugh, his joy and anger are invisible, and once he laughs, it means that he is extremely angry.
Zhang Yuying was shocked by his question, took two steps back, and said in a trembling voice: "No, no, I didn't mean that!" ”
"You haven't answered yet, why do you want to connive and instigate Guo Tong to stop selling Zhuangzi here." Lu Wei said.
Zhang Yuying made trouble several times in a row and lost face, losing face in front of the officials and the little servants, and the awe of Lu Wei in her heart gradually turned into resentment, and she said negatively: "What is there to say about this matter?" This is the private matter of the Zhang family! My eldest aunt has passed away for many years, and the An family is gone, these two Zhuangzi should belong to the Zhang family! ”
"But An's still has children!" Fang Mo interjected.
Zhang Yuying said coldly: "You mean the country girl you brought back?" ”
