Naturally, the Dingxi Hou Mansion was the first to hear the news, and the whole house was in an uproar.
"Master Hou, this is none of his business. This is trying to harm our Hou family." Aunt Zhou said anxiously, "This is going to be punished by the imperial censor..."
Marquis Dingxi has been sitting in his chair since he learned about it.
How dare Chang Yuncheng do such a thing!
Such a thing is obviously causing trouble!
That's right, ordinary people were nothing in their eyes. At that time, not to mention that the person couldn't be saved, just that he could be saved. Any powerful family would do this.
But just because they do this doesn't mean they will admit it.
Who would admit it? You deserve it! Isn’t this stupid?
Of course the common people are not afraid, they are afraid of the censor! What they are afraid of is the "Great Edict" issued by Taizu! Taizu really killed a lot of people back then! Because two common people can skin a prefect if they complain
Bone!
Of course, there has been no such thing since Taizu, but there is no guarantee that the current emperor, who is bent on imitating Taizu, could just do it on a whim.
Wise people naturally leave no excuses when doing things. Once you have this excuse, nothing will happen when you say it's okay. If someone is really looking for trouble, then you are going to die.
"Are you stupid?" Ding Xihou murmured, with a puzzled look on his face.
He naturally understands the relationship between Xie's mother and son. Both of them can sacrifice their lives for each other.
So Chang Yuncheng is worried that Xie will go crazy and lose his mind due to impulsiveness...
"Master Hou!" After talking for a long time, Aunt Zhou saw that Ding Xihou was still sitting. She reached out and pushed him hastily, "Why are you still standing there? Go to the magistrate's house quickly and scold the prince in front of the people. Although they share the same blood, they can still
Just save the face of the Hou Mansion, otherwise, our whole family will be dragged into the quagmire by him!"
"No, he is the eldest son of Dingxihoufu. If he does something, people will naturally blame us..." Dingxihou murmured.
Just like his meritorious service, it was Dingxi Houfu who was commended by the court, and it was him who was praised by everyone for his skill in teaching his children.
Likewise, if he does something ridiculous, he, as an old man, will naturally be scolded.
"He shouldn't have been appointed as the heir apparent in the first place!" Aunt Zhou said angrily, "Look at him at the age of three. He was always a troublemaker when he was a child. He had no rules and didn't listen to others. Now is the most important time for the inheritance of our Marquis Mansion.
, the achievements of the older generation are gradually passing away, and it is only through caution that we can stabilize the family business. Look at him, is he the kind of cautious person? "
It’s really not…
Dingxihou sighed heavily.
Maybe I shouldn’t have…
It's just that when the eldest Xie died, the Xie family was in constant trouble, so my mother had to agree to give Yuncheng the title of eldest son. It was considered an expedient measure at the time, right?
So can it still be changed now?
If the prince is not pure, he will naturally be replaced by a pure and good man.
"...What did he think about such a simple thing!" Aunt Zhou was pacing back and forth, furious, "What's so fussy about this? Isn't it just to kill someone? There are doctors, and whoever cures him will be responsible.
Who cares? If you want to cure the disease, you can cure it anywhere. If you can’t cure it with just one sentence, then let it go!”
Having said this, Aunt Zhou sneered.
"After all, you still care about the friendship between husband and wife, right?" she said, holding Dingxi Hou's shoulders, and sneered, "That woman made our Hou Mansion disgraced with Li in the first place, now Li Li can make us so disgraced.
, it’s really…”
But no, to put it simply, it means that there is no way to save people. As long as the doctor says that there is no cure, it will be over. At most, he will be called a quackery or something.
"Which doctor can cure all diseases? Why is she so valuable?" Aunt Zhou continued, "The prince is so protective of you, but he is so impulsive that he slanders himself. He doesn't even think about it. This is
Is it his own business? This is related to our Hou Mansion! Both prosperity and loss will lead to loss. Does he have the Hou Mansion in his heart, does he have this family, and does he remember who he is!"
That’s right, one will be prosperous and one will suffer, one will be harmed!
Dingxihou stood up suddenly.
Aunt Zhou almost fell down if she didn't take precautions.
"Come here, go to the prefect's Yamen!" Dingxihou shouted with a solemn air.
This man who has always avoided trouble finally stood up!
Aunt Zhou couldn't help being happy.
Now, I can’t keep my position as the crown prince!
She clenched the brocade handkerchief in her hand. Even though it was so many years late, it would eventually fall on her son!
That's right, those things that were supposed to be hers will eventually become hers!
It is conceivable that if Chang Yuncheng loses his position as the heir apparent, then the Xie family...
If you can make one person angry to death, you can naturally make two people angry to death!
Aunt Zhou sneered.
This time, the Xie family doesn’t have the face to cause trouble, right?
This time, the mother and son are seeking death themselves, no one else is to blame!
Watching Ding Xihou walk out, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but smile and sigh.
"Auntie, what are you sighing for?" the girl next to her asked in a low voice.
"It's a pity that I can't go and see it on site." Aunt Zhou said with a regretful smile, "Hey, I am a woman, so I can only stay in the back house."
Even staying in the back house can make your dreams come true. Not every woman can do this.
Aunt Zhou smiled proudly.
In the lobby of the prefecture, after Zhou Maochun concluded the matter in a few words, everyone was ready to disperse.
The family members wiped away their tears and left, hugging each other. The deceased was carried by the guards.
Chang Yuncheng here also raised his feet to leave.
"What are you doing out now!" Qi Yue grabbed his arm and shouted.
"What?" Chang Yuncheng frowned and looked at her confused.
"Go from the back!" Qi Yue said angrily.
Chang Yuncheng smiled. He stretched out his hand to hold Qi Yue's hand. He paused with some nostalgia, but still pulled away without hesitation.
"In my entire life, I have never walked through the back door." He said, turned around and strode away.
Looking at the man's straight back, Qi Yue stamped her feet angrily, and she raised her feet to catch up.
Liu Pucheng and others naturally followed.
Zhou Maochun clicked his tongue twice and looked at the magistrate on the side.
The prefect was furious at him.
"Sir, do you have any other advice?" he said hurriedly and respectfully.
"Aren't you going to see me off?" Zhou Maochun asked.
Are you kidding? If you go out at this time and get hit on the head by those rioters, wouldn't it be embarrassing to die?
The prefect was too stupid to refuse, not to mention he was not stupid yet. He glared at Zhou Maochun, looking for a suitable and honorable way to refuse, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Master Zhou!" He held Zhou Maochun's hand.
This time it was Zhou Maochun who was shocked.
"What are you doing?" He waved his hands and said.
"Excuse me, please look at the dog!" the prefect said hurriedly, holding on to the dog tightly, and it seemed that the man ran away as soon as he let go.
"What's wrong with your dog?" Zhou Maochun looked disgusted and couldn't shake him away, so he shouted.
"The dog was once trampled by a horse, and then..." the magistrate said hurriedly. For the sake of his son, he could not see Zhou Maochun's disgust. In his eyes, Zhou Maochun's angry curses at him were as sweet as fairy music.
He unexpectedly caught such a powerful doctor! He was finally able to draw a definite conclusion about his son's body, which had always made him worried.
"Oh!" Zhou Maochun excitedly stretched out his hand to hold the prefect's hand without waiting for him to finish, and said with joy, "Yes, yes, it's your son, the one who was disemboweled by Madam Qi! Come on, come on, let me go and see!"
"
Although he saw a thoracotomy with his own eyes, the injured person was dead and there was no effect at all. Why did he forget that there was still a living one! A living one! He must be stripped naked and studied thoroughly!
I didn't expect Zhou Maochun to be so enthusiastic. The prefect almost burst into tears. This is his character. If those people in the capital knew about it, they would be extremely jealous!
"Please come quickly, please come quickly." The prefect said excitedly.
The two people were so excited that they didn't even bother to let go of their hands and went in hand in hand.
The handlers here are happy, but the atmosphere outside is still tense.
Although Wang Qingchun gave explanations and posted notices, the onlookers still did not disperse.
When I saw the deceased's family coming out, the atmosphere suddenly became heated.
"How pathetic!"
"That's how this world is!"
The crowd was full of such discussions and was very angry.
This attitude startled the young woman, with a hint of fear appearing on her face.
Is the matter too big?
Is this okay...
But now we can only bite the bullet and go on.
"Thank you, folks." She cried and saluted everyone.
The mournful and helpless look once again caused the people at the scene to become commotion.
Chang Yuncheng walked out at this time, and all eyes were instantly focused on him.
This kind of gaze is different from the previous one.
Anger and resentment can almost melt a person.
Chang Yuncheng had no expression on his face and without any pause, he raised his feet and walked into the crowd step by step.
None of the guards followed. They were supposed to open the way, but now it was Chang Yuncheng who opened the way.
The Qianjin Hall disciples who followed him could not help but turn pale.
"If this is... just in case... but... random punches can kill the old master..." Someone else couldn't help but murmured.
The dense crowd in front of the government office separated as Chang Yuncheng walked, but the crowd did not disperse. Everyone was looking at Chang Yuncheng.
These people were old and young, men and women, and all of them were dressed simply or even in tatters. Most of them were thin, and they did not have any weapons in their hands. But just looking at them was no less intimidating than being among thousands of soldiers and horses.
middle.
The most important thing is that among thousands of soldiers and horses, they can use the weapons in their hands to defend themselves. Although it is dangerous, it is exciting and can make people's blood boil. But at this moment, although they have weapons in their hands, they cannot defend themselves. This
The most dangerous danger is the kind of depression that leaves people with nowhere to escape and cannot avoid.
The guards following Chang Yuncheng had thick sweat on their foreheads. This was something unprecedented.
Qi Yue raised her feet to follow, but she saw another commotion outside, and the crowd separated automatically. Ding Xihou, wearing a duke's dress, appeared in front of them, followed closely by the housekeeper and the servants.
Qi Yue stopped and frowned.
Therefore, if there are external worries, there must be internal ones...
Therefore, in order to avoid getting into trouble, the best choice is to suffocate...
Therefore, Chang Yuncheng chose not only to face the anger of the people, but also the stabbing of his relatives behind him...
This bastard! This fool! This idiot!
She quickened her pace and chased after her.***(To be continued)
