In the incident of Yinchun Garden, the Xu family has been involved from the beginning, and Xu Ye has no worries about being criticized, nor is he worried that his father will misunderstand.

Similarly, Lu Daotong also hoped that his two sons could fight for him, and he didn't want the two brothers to return with a wolf, so he told what happened, and Lu Daotong was very surprised. I didn't expect the Xu Mansion to make a big fight for a notorious play, and what is especially puzzling is that Xu Hao was indifferent to this matter and allowed his eldest son to act in the name of the Xu family.

At this point, Lu Daotong stomped his feet again and again, and kicked the iron plate negligently for a while.

The next day, the Terracotta Division began to hear the case. At first, a cadre of the Lu Mansion relied on the power of the master to be unscrupulous, and said in unison that Liu Asan led the crowd to commit murder, but the soldiers and horses released a bunch of torture instruments out, and the family members who refused to suffer the losses in front of them saw that their masters ignored them, so they simply recruited everything, and put all the charges on the two young masters.

Lu Daotong knew that this was troublesome, and the intervention of the Xu family made no one dare to lean towards him. In fact, the case itself is inconspicuous, nothing more than a fight, the problem is that if the trial continues like this, he can't escape the blame for the lax management of the family no matter what, and he can't help but regret that he shouldn't have connived at his two sons to make trouble.

The brothers Lu Peng and Lu Kun also complained to each other, Lu Peng said: "It's all your fault that you have to make trouble, even if the Soldiers and Horses Division saw their father's love and punished Liu Asan, but we were also scolded and beaten by him, and when it was spread, outsiders must laugh at it, I was really tired of you to death." Otherwise, after waiting for a few days, I secretly managed to do Liu Wu, and it was effortless, but now I have made myself disgraced. ”

Lu Kun sneered: "Don't let it go as an afterthought, I'm going to make trouble, why didn't you stop me at that time?" It's you who have to pick the ones who have the strength to get ready to do it. Besides, Liu Asan obviously took more than a dozen slaps from you. The damn came to me for revenge, and my chest still hurts. I'm going to protect you from disasters, it's really fucking unlucky, who am I complaining about? I'm going to say that you pushed me to go!" ”

The brothers talk to each other, complaining about each other. Angry, Lu Daotong shouted: "Shut up! You two useless things, go to beat people and be beaten up, and even my dignity has been lost by you, what's the use of talking about this now? Uncompetitive bastards, get out of here. ”

Seeing that their father was angry, the brothers walked out of the study in a gloomy manner. Lu Peng muttered: "Liu Wu has offended your old man." We were kind enough to vent our anger on you, but something happened and we said that we were not the same. ”

The furious Lu Daotong was about to scold, and the steward came in and said, "Lord Xu Wen has come to the outer hall." ”

"Good time." Lu Daotong was in good spirits. He originally wanted to go to Xu Wenguan and say, firstly, he had a good personal relationship with Xu Qingtang, and secondly, he usually had no problem with Xu Hao, and it was understandable that Xu Ye was in charge of Liu Wu, but if he chased after him, it would seem too unreasonable.

Now Xu Wen came to visit him first, it must be to discuss this matter, and Lu Daotong happily greeted him.

The two parties took their seats after the ceremony. Xu Wen smiled: "The two brothers should have been adults, right?" There is no need to repeat it. Today's case has been verified, and it is true that the two brothers deliberately went to make trouble, and now Liu Asan insists that your mansion is bullying. And there are damaged objects as evidence, and the people of your house also confessed. Lord Lu, if this matter is investigated, the two brothers can be a big obstacle, and the following officials have come to ask the adults to show them, how to deal with them? ”

Lu Daotong's face flushed. In his heart, he secretly scolded the Xu family for meddling with rats, and sighed: "Those two unscrupulous beasts in my family." Wandering around outside, all kinds of nonsense. I want Lord Xu to know everything, although it is not a pity to die. Lord Xu is willing to come to take care of him and ask, he must have made up his mind, Lu did not dare to interfere with the judiciary, he just wanted to read in the face of Xu Guogong, save me a little face, that is, I can't feel enough. ”

"Your Excellency is serious." Xu Wen was in a good mood, he came over to ask the servant of the ministry to understand his feelings, and said slowly: "Those who fight according to the law are not each other, and they should be punished for their own punishment." Liu Asan certainly cannot escape his responsibility, and the family members of your family cannot be without fault. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Wen changed his words and sighed: "I'm afraid that Liu Asan will be used to insult the children of officials to file a case, and the two brothers will not be able to cover up their mistakes by bullying the people. Alas, needless to say, the adults are suspected of committing murder, the reputation of the two brothers is not guaranteed, and even I, Xu, have to bear the crime of incompetence, after all, this is a forbidden city. ”

Lu Daotong was ashamed to say it, how many years have he not been reprimanded by a lower-level military attache in person? It is also that he has gradually carried away since he was on the rise. Throughout the ages, many similar officials have lost their sense of awe, thinking that they are turning their hands high and turning their hands into clouds and covering their hands as rain, and often make a hasty decision, which instantly detonates a chain reaction, and the bad impact of the incident has caused them to be far from expected, and as a result, they have drawn a "full stop" to their official career.

Lu Daotong sighed in his heart, he is a native of Shanxi, his family has been poor since he was a child, and after he succeeds in studying, he has been ridiculed by Shilin because of his Shanxi accent habits, poor appearance, etc., so he has formed a strange personality and become a little cynical.

But it is precisely because he is withdrawn from the crowd, does not take bribes, and does not form a party for personal gain, so that he is valued by Xie Jin, who has the same character, and recommended it to the late Emperor Hongxi, and has risen all the way to the high position of the servant of the ministry.

In terms of family life, Lu Daotong only has one wife, one concubine, and two sons, but he has a hobby, that is, he likes men, and he allows his sons to teach each other a lesson for the sake of a man, which can be described as negligent and stumbling.

Seeing that his late season was not guaranteed, Lu Daotong had to blush-face and beg Xu Wennian to whitewash this matter in friendship, how did he know that the relationship between Xu Wen and Xu Hao was not very good.

There is no need to say these promises in the officialdom, and Xu Wen, who understands it, said with satisfaction: "The lower officials should try to protect the two brothers, but they can only wronged the people of your mansion, and they are really powerless, so they came here to ask for help." ”

"Thank you." Lu Daotong was angry and hateful, angry that he must be ashamed, and hated that the two sons were impetuous, and a trivial matter was like this.

Xu Wen didn't have a way, his nephew stared at it, the good guy only did half of it, otherwise the benefits of this time would be great, and he left with regret at the moment.

After all, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and even if the case is blamed on the family, so many subordinates have been punished. Lu Daotong also made a big fool.

Don't mention Lu Daotong's troubles at home, he didn't dare to act rashly if he was given 10,000 guts, he just wanted to stop here, in case he alarmed the official, it was not a joke.

Soon the case was closed, and Liu Asan instructed everyone to fight back. Injured several people, beaten in the forbidden city, the crime was increased by one degree, and he was exempted from responsibility for his old age, and he was allowed to return to his hometown within half a month, and he was not allowed to stay in the capital. The opera garden was ordered to be sold to others.

Changqing and others have their own punishments according to the severity of their crimes, all in all, it is equivalent to dealing with ordinary criminal cases in later generations, detention, fines, verbal warnings or something, not strict.

Those of the Lu family. The injured were also exempted from accountability, and those who were not injured were beaten 30 boards in public, and all the losses of both sides were compensated by the Lu family, and they were released immediately after the fight.

In addition to Liu Asan's bad luck, this side is a big victory, and after coming out, they are all triumphant, even Liu Asan can get a large amount of compensation, anyway, he is old. It's not a bad idea to take the opportunity to return home.

On the other hand, the Lu family covered their buttocks one by one and sighed, they have always been arrogant, and this is a complete loss of face. limping on the road, he was ridiculed by the people, and ran back to the old man and young master to cry.

The most embarrassing thing is that Lu Daotong and his father and son are the three of them, and they hit the buttocks of the subordinates, as if they were slapped in the face. Not only do you have to comfort people, but you also have to compensate people for their losses.

Lu Daotong immediately took a month's sick leave after finishing and hid at home without seeing outsiders. reduced to a joke in officialdom. After this incident, he hated Liu Wu to the core.

Xufu.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Ripples was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and that night he was drinking and singing. It's equivalent to decompression.

Ye Qin entered the house and said: "The fifty pairs of flat gold embroidered drapes and thirty sets of kang curtains that my wife said were sent in on the 24th, why haven't I seen them today?" Don't make a mistake, please ask the eldest sister to ask the manager. ”

"I see." Ripple took a sip of ginseng soup casually, "Do you have any other instructions?" ”

Ye Qin said: "Ask how much the New Year's money should be in other houses, open a list and send it in, so that the silver will be sent down." Let's come to the pomp and circumstance of the sacrifice on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we are not familiar with it, and the wife instructed those who want to ask it quickly to ask, so as not to make mistakes. There is also how much tenant rent has been collected in each village, and how much needs to be returned, so as to check it as much as possible, so as not to have a bad year when the village people lack money. ”

"I know this, I will explain it to Steward Zhang the day before yesterday." Ripple suddenly had a bitter face, "I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't belong to the family, I really don't know how the elders survived." Well, I can't rest again tonight. ”

Ye Qin also smiled bitterly: "Without him, there are many people to share, and Mrs. only needs to be in charge." It's not like the two of us, he doesn't have the majesty of a master, and we have to watch everything in person. I'll go back to my wife first, and I'll be back to help you right away. ”

After Ye Qin finished speaking, he turned around and hurriedly went out, and Ripple ordered Zhang Shoujia, the internal manager, to come in and inquire, and explained some things. Zhang Shou's family came out and talked to her man Zhang Shou.

The housekeeper Zhang Shou was also busy collecting rent arrears, caring for tenants, taking care of the old, weak, sick and disabled around Jinling, and was also very busy, and said angrily: "I don't have time, you go and call Xiao Xizi and ask him to find Xue Yu." ”

"Virtue." Zhang Shou's wife glanced at her husband, walked out and said to the little girl Xiaoxizi: "You go to the embroidery shop on the other side and ask, the things that have been agreed have missed the deadline, and the inside has been asked, and if you don't send it in, the future business will be unstable." ”

"Got it." Xiao Xizi ran out and entered Qi Dashou's shop, and saw that the room was full of guests, and Qi Dashou and a few guys were busy taking this and that.

There was a person sitting behind the counter in charge of the accounts, it was Xue Yu's henchman Xu Sheng, and Xiao Xizi stepped forward with a smile.

Xu Sheng saw that Xiao Xizi, who was right-hand by Steward Zhang's side, was coming, and got up to beckon him to come in and sit, but Xiao Xizi saw that he was busy and didn't go in, so he asked, "Is Brother Xue Yu inside?" ”

Xu Sheng said: "Yes, you can go over by yourself." ”

At that moment, Xiao Xizi walked to the backyard and arrived at the door of the tent, with a confession posted on the door, "The tent is a place of heavy money, and it is advisable to be cautious, it has been stolen yesterday, and no matter who it is in the future, no one is allowed to trespass without being called." ”

"Stolen? What did you call me in for? Xiao Xizi was secretly amused in her heart.

Dare to love Xue Yu because there are many people in the tent, he didn't have the opportunity to indulge in Yunyu with Chu Chu, so he came up with a solution, he hid a few taels of silver by himself, announced that it was stolen, and then did not allow idle people to come in at will.

And Chu Chu wanted to catch him and hang him for many days, and Xue Yu, who cleaned up, was obedient to her, telling her to go east and not daring to go west, and not daring to beat dogs and chickens, so that a man and a woman would get better.

The most eye-catching thing in the shop is Qi Dashou, so Xue Yu wrongfully blamed the responsibility for losing the money to the cheap uncle. And Qi Dashou has a hard time arguing, since the day before yesterday, he is not angry and does not enter the tent room, where do you know that it is just cheap for my sister and cheap brother-in-law to roll the sheets in broad daylight?

Xiao Xizi and Xue Yu were extremely familiar, and directly pushed open the door and stepped in, but there was no one at the main table.

"Where?" Xiao Xizi turned his head to see that there was a curtain hanging on the door of the inner room, and when he walked over, he saw that even the bed was hanging a tent, could it be that Brother Xue Yu was sick? (To be continued) R580
