Chapter 148 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (35)
"Someone was hit and killed! Someone was hit and killed by the carriage!"
In front of the carriage, there was a dirty and old beggar lying.
He closed his eyes tightly and lay straight on the ground.
The person who shouted was naturally not him, but two or three enthusiastic people "watching the fun."
They either have evil looks, or they look arrogant and unreasonable. Anyway, a few of them have already realized that I am not a good person!
"Beggars are human beings too, why are they so rampant?"
"Is there any heavenly law? Is there any royal law? Can a wife from a wealthy family hit anyone at will?"
"Come and see, someone was hit! The rich wife knocked him to death!"
A few gangsters didn't even look at the beggar, but instead started making noises at the carriage and the passers-by who were watching.
Most of the people who eat melons still remain silent, because these gangsters are not "unknown" little people in the county, but -
Only a very small number of people who don’t know the details will echo, “Oh, this old beggar is so pitiful!”
"How can you hit someone? Look at how you hit them."
"That's right! I look at the old beggar. He has too much air coming in and little air coming out. I'm afraid he may not be able to do it!"
"...Wouldn't that mean a human life was lost?"
When Lady Wan led Zheng Wanjun to squeeze in front of the crowd, she saw this scene——
The horse-drawn carriage, the beggar lying on the ground with no idea of his life or death, the hooting gangsters, and the pointing fingers of a few people.
Originally, Madam Wan had no intention of bringing her daughter with her.
Zheng Wanjun blinked his big curious eyes and looked at her pitifully.
"That's alright! If my daughter sees these market tricks earlier, she will gain some knowledge."
With the idea of educating her daughter by the way, Mrs. Wan brought Zheng Wanjun over.
Since he wanted to teach his daughter, Zheng Wanjun started teaching as soon as he arrived at the scene: "Jun'er, do you see anything?"
"The old beggar didn't have any traces of being bruised!"
Zheng Wanjun is not really a child, she has the observation skills of an adult.
Furthermore, in later generations, she has already seen a lot of things like porcelain in various media and various social platforms.
Compared with the various blackmail tactics of later generations, the scene in front of me is simply ridiculously crude——
Tsk, since you are going to touch the porcelain carriage, why not get some blood on your face or body!
This old beggar was indeed dying, but at first glance he looked sick, not injured.
No matter how powerful the carriage is, it cannot make people seriously ill.
"That's right! Jun'er, you said it very well!"
Wan Niangzi's eyes flashed with surprise.
She knew that her daughter was sensible and precocious.
I have been very worried since I was a child.
They are obviously twins, and her son, who is a quarter of an hour younger than her, is very cunning and naughty.
As for my daughter, she doesn't cry or fuss. She only moans a few times when she's hungry or has a bowel movement.
It can be said that her daughter has made Madam Wan very relaxed since she was born.
In addition, her daughter was the only daughter among three children, and her husband regarded her as the apple of his eye. Gradually, Lady Wan's heart began to deviate.
In the past, Lady Wan only thought her daughter was precocious, but now, she realized that her daughter had keen observation skills and was extremely thoughtful.
Her knowledge is much better than that of many adult women.
Ahem, if something goes wrong, the Gu family will be left alone!
Alas, this Gu family really left Wan Niangzi speechless.
Such an obvious blackmail incident was clearly visible to passers-by.
But as for her, instead of explaining it as soon as possible, her first reaction after getting off the carriage was to be afraid, and then she cried!
Madam Wan is a woman who hates iron but cannot make steel.
Gu Qingcheng:...What do you know!
It is human nature to sympathize with the weak.
Regardless of whether these people are blackmailing or not, it is a fact that the old beggar is dying.
As the "culprit", if Gu Qingcheng had spoken sharply as soon as he got off the carriage, he would have asked the reason forcefully, and even called the government.
The first impression she gives people is that she is too strong.
Even if you are being reasonable, you cannot be too aggressive.
Otherwise, there would be no people in this world who would advise people not to be unreasonable and unforgiving.
Gu Qingcheng's principle is that if you are weak, I will be weaker!
So, when she heard the noise from some gangsters outside, she got out of the carriage tremblingly.
The moment she appeared in front of people, the onlookers' breathing stopped for a moment——
Hiss~
What a weak, harmless, pitiful and helpless beauty.
The beauty is wearing filial piety clothes and her hair is tied up in a woman's bun, showing that she is a filial piety person.
Her figure is slender, like a weak willow supporting the wind.
She has a sickly look on her face, but she is so beautiful that it makes people pity her.
What is Xizi's support? It's probably like this.
She is not an arrogant and domineering rich lady, nor is she a tough matron who only cares about reasoning, she is just a pitiful, helpless little white flower.
Gu Qingcheng's first impression was that of several gangsters and the old beggar who fell to the ground.
After Gu Qingcheng saw the angry old beggar, his already fair face instantly turned pale.
Her body also began to tremble slightly.
Oops, the sickly beauty was frightened!
Everyone looked at it, somewhat distressed.
It's not about eroticism, it's just a simple touching of beautiful things with a sense of brokenness.
Then, Gu Qingcheng started her performance——
Cry~~
Weeping makes the pear blossoms bring rain, crying makes the cuckoo cry blood.
People from the Zhao family's old house: ...This scene is so damn familiar.
It was the first time for a few gangsters and the onlookers to see it, and they were all dumbfounded.
Especially the few gangsters who were making noises, when they saw that Gu Qingcheng actually started to vomit blood due to weakness, they felt bad.
Damn it, who is blackmailing me?
The old beggar lying on the ground was the one they picked up from the ruined temple.
He had been sick for a long time and was on the verge of death. He could die without being touched.
They heard Ji Dalang say that his neighbor was a scapegoat, timid and easily deceived.
I also heard that Mrs. Gu was going to the Taoist temple to perform rituals for her dead man, so she dragged the old beggar here first and set up the trap.
In fact, the carriage did not encounter the old beggar at all.
Even if the old beggar really died, he died of illness.
If the matter gets serious, people from the government will be called in, and a doctor or other inspection will be able to find out the truth.
What these gangsters wanted to do was to scare the stupid woman, threaten her, and coax her into giving her some money.
Instead of really making things worse——
Ji Dalang really deserves to die, why didn't he say that Mr. Gu was a sick man?
Judging from the way she was crying and coughing up blood, if she fainted and passed out, some of these gangsters would probably be sued!
After all, even when it comes to human life, compared with a humble old beggar, a virtuous woman with a house and land is more noble.
Not to mention, this Gu family is doing business with the county’s wife!
Damn you! Ji Dalang harmed me!
The faces of several gangsters became extremely ugly and they looked left and right, trying to find a way out.
Scared!
They were really scared!
It doesn't matter if a woman cries.
But, crying to the point of vomiting blood... is so damn scary.
The gangsters who caused the trouble began to shrink back, and the onlookers showed deep sympathy after being shocked.
The child, who really couldn't hold it back, was young and didn't know how to fear the scoundrels in the market, so he shouted at the top of his lungs: "It's not the fairy lady who hit me."
"Yes! I've seen it all. Before the fairy lady's carriage arrived, the beggar was thrown into the street."
"Blackmail! You are all bad people!"
"Huh? Isn't this Gou San'er? Last year he was imprisoned by the county magistrate for stealing, and is he being released again?"
"It turns out it's him! Huh, I really thought there was a righteous man who saw injustice on the road, but the co-author is a gangster who set up a trap for blackmail!"
With the children's evidence, more passers-by began to speak out.
Among the crowd, there were people who knew these gangsters.
They didn't dare to offend these people, but they looked at Mrs. Gu who was really pitiful.
A virtuous woman was actually blackmailed and wronged by scoundrels in broad daylight. She even vomited blood!
Lady Wan & Zheng Wanjun: ...The direction of things is a bit strange.
Shouldn't we be able to reason with the gangster and then ask for an official... to beat the blackmailing gangster to death step by step?
Why did Mrs. Gu seem to have solved the problem as soon as she started crying?
Also, is Gu's health really that bad?
Have you started coughing up blood?
Han Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the carriage, was speechless.
What, she went to Qingfengguan with Aunt Zhao. After the carriage accident, Han Jiaojiao was frightened.
She is timid to begin with and has been extremely protected since she was a child. How has she ever seen such market tactics?
She subconsciously hugged Gu Qingcheng's arm.
Therefore, whenever Gu Qingcheng made a small move, she saw it.
Well, I always felt that something was wrong, but when I saw her aunt just solving the problem easily without doing anything, Han Jiaojiao felt that a door to a new world was opening in front of her.
"Mrs. Gu!"
Seeing Gu Qingcheng's body beginning to collapse, Wan Niangzi rushed forward and reached out to support her.
"The child testified that there was no external injury on the old man's body... the matter is very clear, the carriage did not hit anyone!"
"But these gangsters got an old man who was about to die of illness from somewhere and tried to blackmail Madam Gu."
"Ms. Gu is a young and strict woman who is frail and weak. She is so respectable and pitiful! What a shame these gangsters want to frame such a chaste woman!"
Wan Niangzi spoke righteously and directly convicted the gangster.
"Yes! These gangsters like Gou San'er are so despicable, they actually use this method!"
"Oh, look how scared Madam Gu is. If there is any evil, Gou San'er and the others must pay with their lives!"
"Huh? The official is here! Hurry! Let the official come over and take Gou San'er's locks directly back to the Yamen!"
After Wan Niangzi raised her arms and waved her arms, passers-by who were already somewhat sympathetic to the Gu family responded one after another.
Gou Saner and others simply offended the public.
As for Wan Niangzi, who was at the center of the incident and fiercely protected Mrs. Gu behind her, she was like a heroine.
Zheng Wanjun stood in the crowd, and his eyes were filled with light when he saw such an independent and capable mother.
In sharp contrast to Lady Wan, Lady Gu is soft, weak, and whining.
Alas, this man really can't stand up.
It must be very hard for Brother Qingyun to have such a biological mother.
