Chapter 117(1/2)
In just a moment, Fu and his son were slapped until their faces were as swollen as pigs.
Zhao Surui raised his head, looked at the inconspicuous house and the closed door in front of him, and waved to the Tong brothers:
"Drag these two people into the street, look for a gong, explain clearly how these two people were favored by the Chu family in the past, how they betrayed their trust later, and now they have posted it when they see people get up again, so that the neighbors can Everyone in the neighborhood knows what these two people are."
After listening to Mrs. Shen's instructions, Tong Wuyi was so happy that he grabbed Fu Chengyuan with his big palm and dragged him out.
"Yeah!" Fu Chengyuan was beaten until blood came out of his mouth, and he couldn't speak clearly. The green silk cotton robe on his body had rolled up and lost its shape. He heard that he was going to be dragged to the street, but he didn't know where it came from. With so much strength, he put his hands and feet on the ground and struggled hard again.
The prince's sweetheart was about to go out, so Si Shu, who had just failed his errand, naturally followed him in person. It was really unbearable when they met. He winked at one of his pleasant-looking subordinates, and the man hurriedly came forward. smile apologetically:
"Mrs. Shen has a noble body, why should he be so familiar with such villains? You give him to us, and we will keep him and take him outside Yanjing City, and never dare to come back."
Zhao Surui raised his eyes and glanced at this person, then curled his lips:
"To make them afraid to come back? Who are you to deal with such villains for the Chu family? Chu Jiyuan hasn't returned to the capital yet. First, let him have the reputation of colluding with eunuchs? I can only handle this matter. I did it for my Aunt Yao."
Shen Sanfai wanted Chu Jiyuan to return to the capital to reorganize the treasury. If something went wrong at this point, it would also cost him Emperor Zhaode's face.
Zhao Surui came to pay homage to the Yao family just to reconnect with the Chu family, so that he could control the progress of the treasury rectification.
Otherwise, he would be so full that he would come to deal with the smelly and hard Chu Jiyuan?
He told Shen Sanfei that it was for the sake of connections, but it was just to make Sanfei Shen angry. As for Chu Jiyuan, who has been an official for twenty years and his family is cleaner than a mouse hole, what does he need his connections for? Waiting for those poor scholars to line up. Do you want to write a memorial memorial for Shen Sanfai?
Zhao Surui laughed angrily and interrupted Chu Jiyuan directly: "Master Chu, these two people brought people to your door with bad intentions, and you actually invited them in? You are really..."
The person who thought he meant well was still laughing.
Several years later, that scene still appeared in her nightmares, and her nightmares always ended like this - countless people drove her away and asked her to return to the Fu family. She hugged Su'er and fell into the abyss. wake up.
"Niece of the Shen family, I don't need anyone else to comment on the housework of the Chu family. If you come to pay homage to your wife, you can go in too. Look at the ferocious appearance of your servants. Look at yourself. You are not even half a lady. appearance?"
If Zhao Surui felt a slight tremor in his heart when he first saw Chu Jiyuan's now old and thin appearance, it would have disappeared long ago.
"Well said! Happy!"
"You have spent your wife's life working hard to fulfill your reputation of being honest. Now that you are back in Beijing, don't you have to set up a memorial for yourself of 'keeping your word'? That's right! You can exchange it with your daughter's life. With some good reputation, you, Chu Jiyuan, can become a saint!"
Just when Chu Jiyuan felt that the young woman in front of him looked familiar, another tall man got off the carriage behind him, still muttering:
"Assaulting someone in the street and causing injuries is punishable...Little Aqing? Why are you here? Then you, didn't you say you were imprisoned in Zhuangzi by the Xie family?"
"Niece of the Shen family, you have been well-educated since you were a child, why do you suddenly hit people in the street like this?"
Chu Jiyuan's brows were still furrowed, as if he just didn't like a woman talking to him like this.
Not just her, people pointed at her along the way and laughed at her as a unruly daughter-in-law who wanted to go back to her parents' home.
But it's definitely not fear.
Thinking that her Aunt Shen, who had been dead for several years, would go to this extent for her, she burst into tears as she had not cried since her father's accident, and quickly gave all the money to Fu Chengyuan.
He already knew that there was someone behind the door.
Hearing this voice, Chu Yuanjin took a deep breath.
"Niece of the Shen family, how can you speak so viciously? My wife is gone..."
Chu Yuanjin waited for a moment with joy and gratitude in his heart, and it was Fu Chengyuan who was waiting for him.
Hearing Shen Shiqing mention his deceased wife in this way, Chu Jiyuan couldn't help but take a step back.
A few months later, news came back that His Majesty had personally conquered the great catastrophe and that her father had been exiled to the southwest. The Fu family was afraid of being implicated, so they quickly sent a letter of divorce.
She was in a daze for a long time, and then she saw that the person holding Su'er and looking at her with a smile was Chuiyun beside Aqing.
After being captured and brought back to the Fu family, Chu Yuanjin was imprisoned. In order to prevent her from escaping again, Fu Chengyuan even refused to let her see Su Er.
Chu Jiyuan, actually came back today? Just in time for this?
I haven't seen him for more than a year. Chu Jiyuan is much older than before. He is only in his fifties, and his beard and hair are already mostly white. He has a long face, thin eyebrows, and slightly raised eyes. Compared with Shen Shao, who is famous for his good looks in both the government and the public, he is more refined and refined. Li Congyuan has an average appearance and average demeanor, but he also shows an overwhelming intelligence.
"What are you doing? Humiliating people like this in public?"
Chu Yuanjin shouted anxiously: "He has taken possession of my dowry and wants to fight us to death!"
Fu Chengyuan's eyes were about to burst and he screamed:
"Chu Yuanjin! Come out! Are you going to watch them humiliate your husband like this?!"
There was also the box that Aunt Shen had given her when she got married. She thought it contained just a pair of thin gold bracelets, but when she picked up the bracelets, she found that the bottom of the box was tilted up. She opened the bottom. , only to find that there were two silver notes of one hundred taels and ten gold leaves buried underneath.
As soon as the couple in plain robes stood firm, they noticed the tense situation in the alley.
The woman who heard the confrontation with Chu Jiyuan smiled and said: "But that's right, Master Chu doesn't understand how hard his wife works. She wears clothes when she has clothes, eats when she has food, and spends money when she has money! Hahaha, how could you know? Did you step on other people's lives to get where you are today?"
"For villains like them, not only do they have to be hurt, but their skins have to be peeled off, and their rotten hearts and intestines are shaken out in front of others, so that they don't dare to enter the Chu family's door again. Otherwise, This family is so shallow. On weekdays, Chu Jiyuan has to go to the Yamen as an errand. What if they come to make trouble again? This way, people can see their faces clearly, and it can also save the Chu family some trouble."
Looking at Chu Jiyuan, Zhao Surui smiled coolly:
"You wore Aunt Yao to death just by doing housework, what? Now it's Sister Chu's turn again?"
Only then did their mother and daughter escape.
"Niece of the Shen family, you shouldn't abuse lynching, how can you frame others like this?" He turned to look at Fu Chengyuan again, "Zhuo Xin, why did you come to my house?"
"Old Taishan, I wanted to take Yuan Jin and Su'er back, but I, my son-in-law, I know I was wrong."
Zhao Surui took a step forward and looked behind the door again.
As the saying goes, Chu Jiyuan is what he is talking about.
Chu Jiyuan frowned and looked over with squinted eyes:
"Although Zhuo Xin has broken off the marriage relationship with my Chu family, he is still a scholar. How can you, a woman and your slaves, be allowed to humiliate you wantonly? You are..."
A woman's reputation is fragile. When the Chu family was divorced and returned home, they rarely had to be discussed verbally. Since they were sharp-tongued, why could these men hide away?
Thinking so, Zhao Surui smiled coldly:
"Tong Wu, I almost forgot, that Fu Chengyuan's face has been beaten off a long time ago. You should take off his pants, so as not to throw them on the street and no one will know that they are tall people!"
The jasper buckle and the gold centerpiece inlaid with pearls were all the dowry she inherited from her grandmother. They were given to her, and she gave them to Fu Chengyuan.
Looking at Fu Chengyuan's face like a paint shop, Chu Jiyuan sighed:
"Zhuoxin, when I married Yuan Jin to you, I didn't want you to be rich and powerful. I just wanted you to be a responsible husband. But you... oh, why don't you follow me in first, and I'll go
Ask the doctor to come and see your injury. As for the matter between you and Yuan Jin, Zhuo Xin, you..."
"Miss Chu, come with me quickly. The father and son of the Fu family were left behind by their aunt today."
Fu Chengyuan said quickly:
When Chu Yuanjin was beaten for the first time, she knew she couldn't stay in the Fu family. Fortunately, she had stayed in the Fu family for many years and was kind to the servants. She tried her best to ask a few people for help. She hugged Su that night.
Er escaped from the Fu family.
"She is really the niece of the Shen family?"
Getting up from the ground, Chu Yuanjin hugged Chuiyun's arm, his eyes aching from crying long ago.
After receiving the order, Tong Wu grinned and said to Fu Chengyuan:
"Don't worry, I've had someone take off my pants more than once."
"That's bullshit! Look at what these two people are wearing, they are all made of silk. If I remember correctly, Mr. Chu, my Aunt Yao just passed away, right? They came here today just because my sister of the Chu family lost her mother. You
You haven’t returned yet, and you still have three or four men with you. Have you ever thought about what they are here for?”
"You get sick from overwork. Why do you get sick from overwork? It's just because you have to eat, drink and spend money in the southwest. Mr. Chu, when you collected those silver notes, you didn't even think about where the money came from? That's
Your wife paid for it with her life!"
There was another carriage slowly approaching at the entrance of the alley.
On the way back to Yanjing, she learned that since her father's accident, Ah Qing had worried about her and specially sent Chuiyun to Baoding. Chuiyun found out about her escape that day, and she immediately bribed Fu Chengyuan.
She was given special steamed wine in her outer room and asked her to find a way to get Fu and his son drunk.
The man laughed at the side: "How can you, a woman, make a fuss about going back to your parents' home when you are not satisfied at all? Just follow your husband home as soon as possible. Cover yourself with a quilt. What can't you get through?"
After being criticized by "Shen Shiqing" with a gun and a stick, Chu Jiyuan's brows were still furrowed:
Inside the door, Chu Yuanjin's hand had already been placed on the door latch, but he just left it there.
After traveling to the southwest for a year, I became older and thinner, but my annoying energy still grew?
He raised his chin and looked at the Fu family father and son who were struggling and howling like ghosts, refusing to be dragged away.
But after dawn, when she was buying buns for Su Er, she was seen by someone. That person was a neighbor of the Fu family and had always been kind to her. He heard that she was going back to Yanjing and said he could find a carriage for her.
When his father was taken to the Western Expedition by His Majesty, Fu Chengyuan began to show his true colors. He treated the mother and daughter harshly, driving them to live in a penthouse without giving them food or water. Su'er was still young and cried from hunger every day.
She went to beg Fu Chengyuan, but she only got a severe beating in return.
Across the door, Zhao Surui followed the sound and saw the long-bearded scribe getting off the green leather carriage. The corners of his eyes jumped first.
"Niece of the Shen family, you just drive people away for things like this. Why do you need to cause such a fight? Although the Fu family and his son are not related to my family by marriage, they are all..."
Secretly curling his lips, Zhao Surui looked at Chu Jiyuan with his head raised.
"Ha! These servants of mine are vicious and specialize in hunting down imps. I brought them to see Aunt Yao off, which can be regarded as a guard of honor for Aunt Yao, so as not to disturb her by having such low-life things on the Huangquan Road. As for what you said
