Chapter Ninety-Five: Good Friday
The drum was beaten five times, and the fish belly was white in the east, but the street was still empty, and there were no pedestrians.
Suddenly, the sound of crumbling horses' hooves, and the rolling of wheels against ruts, shattered the calm of the dawn.
A full ten horse-drawn carriages with canopies drove along Danfeng Street, through Yiyi Lane, and unhurriedly in the direction of Xinjiekou.
One of the carriages was driven by Gao Wu, and Wu Yu was holding a seven-foot-long wooden stick at the back of the carriage.
Zhao Hao and Zhao Shouzheng, father and son, were also sitting opposite each other, talking in a low voice.
"More than 30 years ago, the old man was promoted and moved his family to Nanjing, and he rented the Qian family's house at that time. The Qian family is a wealthy family in Jiangning, who started as a small businessman, and he befriended the old man everywhere, and the two became acquainted. Later, the old man went to Beijing to take the exam, and at the kind invitation of the Qian family, your grandmother and my brothers lived in the Qian family. ”
Zhao Hao nodded silently, and listened to Zhao Shouzheng continue to narrate:
"That old man Qian actually instructed his daughter, that is, the slut of the Qian family, to seduce your uncle. Your uncle was only sixteen years old at the time, and that slut was a full four years older than him! Zhao Shouzheng looked at his son with an indignant face and said: "There is a way for men to be juniors and women to be seniors, and there are nails in their eyes." Do you think, can they have a good life together? ”
"Father, don't go off-topic." Zhao Hao reminded helplessly.
"Okay, let's go back to the old days." Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly returned to the topic and said: "As a result, the old man entered high school in Beijing, and when he was in the Ministry of Political Affairs, he was appreciated by Lord Shangshu and wanted to marry his granddaughter to your uncle. The old man was naturally flattered, and agreed to come down, and the two sides also changed Geng posts. Then the old man immediately repaired the book here, and asked your uncle to enter Beijing to get married as soon as possible. ”
"As a result, the slut of the Qian family claimed to be pregnant, and forced your uncle to die, and your uncle was afraid of causing trouble, so he had to reply to Beijing and ask the old man to withdraw from the marriage." Zhao Shouzheng said and sighed: "At that time, my father was only seven years old, and he couldn't marry his brother, so in the end, the old man had to withdraw from the marriage. ”
This incident not only made the old man lose face, but also completely offended the old man, which greatly affected the old man's career. As a result, he worked in the main position for ten years, and it was not until Lao Shangshu was promoted normally...... The old man is pretentious, and thinks that there is no such thing, and he also does it. As a result, one step at a time, one step at a time, and in the end, he didn't catch up on becoming the main hall of the six departments, but only became a right attendant of the Nanjing household department, and his heart was naturally angry. ”
What made the old man even more worried about the Qian family was that he took leave and returned to Nanjing that year and held a wedding for the two who were married to Fengzi. Who knew that soon after the marriage, Qian immediately said that he had a miscarriage. It turns out that the so-called pregnancy is a trivial method used by the Qian family in order to trap your uncle. Therefore, the old man has always raised eyebrows at the Qian family, scolding him at every turn, and even your eldest brother and younger sister are not treated by his old man. ”
Knowing these old feuds, Zhao Hao suddenly understood why as soon as the old man had an accident, the Qian family immediately took Sister Yun back to her parents' house.
Obviously, after knowing that Zhao Liben could no longer turn over, her resentment that had accumulated for many years completely attacked, and she began to sneer at Zhao Shouye and wantonly humiliate her, which finally caused last night's incident.
~~
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped, and Xinjiekou arrived.
Zhao Hao lifted the curtain, the summer night was short, and it was already bright outside the car.
"No matter what happens, my father can't get out of the car." Zhao Hao turned around and told Zhao Shouzheng to say: "Autumn is coming, my father must avoid trouble." ”
"Alas, I know......" Zhao Shouzheng nodded, he is an old candidate, so he naturally knows the stakes. As long as the candidates are in a lawsuit, they don't want to participate in the imperial examination.
Zhao Shouzheng looked at his son worriedly, grabbed his arm and said, "My son must be careful, don't let people hurt you, don't go too far, just give a light punishment, just get angry." ”
"I have my own measure, and my father is at ease." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, and Zhao Shouzheng let go of his hand.
When he jumped out of the car, the thirty shirtless strong men had already gotten out of the car and surrounded him with wooden sticks.
"Childe commanded, which one?" The men asked eagerly. Now in Caijia Lane, who doesn't want to contribute to Zhao Shoufu?
Zhao Haoxin said I don't know, so he looked at the carriage that was at the head. Zhao Xian looked out from inside the carriage, and when he saw this, he pointed to the big house that was diagonally facing the high-walled and deep courtyard.
Zhao Hao looked up and saw a plaque of 'Qian Fu' hanging on the lintel of the house, so he sneered: "Tear it down!" ”
When Wu Yu heard the order, he immediately threw out the wooden stick in his hand, and saw the big stick flying towards the lintel of Qianfu like a meteor, and with a bang, the plaque was smashed in half and fell to the ground.
"Knock the door open and get in!" Zhao Hao snorted coldly and ordered: "As long as no one dies!" ”
"Order!" The strong men smashed the plaque and ran towards the gate of the Qian family.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight big men slammed their shoulders against the two closed doors at the same time!
I heard a loud bang, and the latch of the gate was directly broken, and the two door pages flew open, knocking out the Qian family who rushed to check on the sound together!
"them!"
The big men screamed wildly, swarming in with wooden sticks held high, and smashed things when they saw them!
Ping-pong, click-click!
In the blink of an eye, the expensive front hall of the Qian Mansion was smashed......
At this time, the Qian family's servant man finally rushed over. Old man Qian also wore his hair loose and wore shoes from the back house, and saw that his antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and furniture were all smashed to pieces. ”
The Qian family's domestic servants and men add up to about thirty, and they have iron guys in their hands...... The Ming Dynasty did not prohibit the people from holding weapons, and every family was equipped with knives and guns.
Although the one who looked at it again was fierce, he only took a wooden stick, and he embraced it with courage.
As everyone knows, they are carefully selected fighting masters. And the stick is the ancestor of a hundred soldiers, Nanjing Zhuwei learned Yu Dayou's son and mother 36 sticks, even the sword skills of the Japanese can be restrained, not to mention these grass chickens and dogs with ordinary blades.
Almost as soon as he saw him, the man of the Qian family was knocked off the blade, and he was knocked to the ground in a blink of an eye.
The men of Caijia Lane brandished wooden sticks and slammed them on their limbs and buttocks. They are used to fighting, and they know where it hurts and where they can't.
In the sound of fluffy blunt flesh, screams of various tones and accents resounded throughout the Qian Mansion.
"Oh, mother......"
"Ah, it hurts me......"
"Spare your life, a good man!"
The men of the Qian family were beaten and rolled on the ground, screaming and begging for mercy, and some were beaten to cry desperately, looking so miserable and miserable.
The ladies of the Qian Mansion were naturally alarmed a long time ago, but who dared to come out to check? They huddled in the backyard, crying louder in fear than in the front yard.
Seeing that his children, grandchildren and family members were so vulnerable, Master Qian subconsciously wanted to escape, but he was trembling and couldn't move at all.
At this time, he saw a young man with red lips and white teeth, standing outside the door opposite, looking at him calmly.
He suddenly remembered that this person was Zhao Shouye's little nephew, and then he knew which disaster star he had provoked. He pointed at Zhao Hao with a fierce expression, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Don't be arrogant, the boy of the Zhao family, this is Nanjing City, I have already reported to the official, and none of you can escape!" ”
Zhao Hao smiled contemptuously.
Gao Wu moved a Taishi chair and rested it behind him.
Zhao Hao lifted the placket of his robe, sat down with a big golden knife and said, "Smash the main hall too!" ”
Those strong men in Caijia Lane left the Qian family who were beaten and couldn't get up, and ran towards the main hall of the second entrance.
