603 Beating
"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the check?" In the study, Liang Shoushan had a gloomy face, but he did not have the good temper he had with his children.
Shuanzi had been whipped fifty times, and he felt uncomfortable after standing for a long time. On this cold day, the temperature in the study was not high, but he had a thin layer of sweat on his painful forehead.
Standing there awkwardly, Shuanzi hurriedly said respectfully: "It's definitely not wrong. I checked several times carefully, and some people even saw that person going to Hao's house."
Liang Shoushan nodded and said nothing for a long time.
Shuanzi didn't know what he was thinking, so he just stood respectfully.
Liang Shoushan suddenly raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "Have you been to the execution hall?"
Shuanzi nodded and said pitifully: "Brother Kangzi is in charge of the punishment hall. He is really merciless. He gave him fifty lashes. You didn't see the bleeding, sir. How much can you eat?"
I can't make up for it with food." He looked at him furtively and saw that the master seemed to be quite friendly today.
"I haven't seen you lose weight even though you're bleeding." Liang Shoushan laughed and scolded, "Okay, it's okay, poor man, go back and have a rest, I don't need you for this." He threw a silver coin over and said, "Things were done well.
, take it to see the doctor."
& Shuanzi hurriedly agreed and took the silver with a smile. I was afraid it wouldn’t be enough. Sure enough, the punishment was what the adults deserved, and it was still very good to him. The inner guards had their own doctors, so there was no need to spend money outside for medical treatment.
, these ten taels of silver will not allow my family to have a good year.
Liang Shoushan sat alone in the study for a long time. It was not until Liang Tiantian came over to ask him to eat that he made some movement.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Liang Tiantian saw that his face was not good and he looked worried.
"Look at this." Liang Shoushan had already thought about it. We can't hide this from our children, at least we can't hide it from our daughter.
"The Hao family turned out to be from Wenxuan." Liang Tiantian was stunned, and was stunned when he saw the information. He murmured: "It turns out that the old man next to Wenxuan is named Hao." She was referring to the old servant.
Liang Shoushan frowned. This was what he found tricky.
If the person is from Ouyang Wenxuan, no matter whether the Hao family did it intentionally or not, it will be difficult to handle. As for Ouyang Wenxuan, Liang Shoushan believes that he will never misjudge the person.
At this time, Liang Tiantian said: "Wenxuan will definitely not harm our family." Even if he did, he would not use such low-level methods. Besides, the thing was given by Ouyang Wenxuan himself, although he did not know about Liang Shoushan's.
His status seemed to be against the rules. But as a young marquis, what would happen if he presented things to ordinary people? It would not be a big deal for this lawsuit to go before the imperial court. After all, official kilns are also divided into levels.
"I don't think so either. But this matter..." Liang Shoushan was hesitant, should he pursue the investigation further?
Liang Tiantian also frowned, "Dad, if you don't worry about this, just leave it to me." She believed in Ouyang Wenxuan. As for the Hao family... she had an intuition that this matter should have nothing to do with them.
"Okay." Although Liang Shoushan felt that it was not good to leave the matter to his daughter, but considering the relationship between their family and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, it was best for his daughter to come forward in this matter.
When Liang Tiantian returned home, he didn't even bother to eat. He hurriedly wrote a letter and had someone rush to deliver it to Fucheng. If you send it at this time, you can arrive in the morning after traveling all night.
Liang Tiantian waited for a whole day, and the old servant came to the door the next evening. Looking at his dusty face, it was obvious that he had just got off his horse.
The old servant came to see Liang Tiantian as soon as he came in. When he saw her, he knelt down. "I will give the girl an explanation for this matter. I will go to Hao's house right away. If the girl is worried, she will send someone to follow me."
He didn't go to the Hao family immediately because he was determined to deal with this matter. If it was really the Hao family who did it, I'm afraid he wouldn't be soft-hearted.
Thinking that the master had touched Xin'er's wound in anger this morning, the old servant blamed himself. It was because he did not take good care of his family and caused the master to suffer. If the Liang family girl had a problem with the master because of this matter, then
That would be bad.
Liang Tiantian had a calm look on his face, "Get up quickly, what are you doing?" Brother Liang Mancang was also there and hurriedly went over to help the person get up. Liang Tiantian then said: "I didn't doubt that you were old, let alone
I doubt Wenxuan. To be honest, this matter
Son, most of us still suspect that the Cao family did it. But whether it is the Cao family or the Hao family, they are all related to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. I have no choice. Thinking about the relationship between the prince and our family, they are suspicious of each other.
It's better to talk things out."
She used "Wenxuan" in the first title, which made the old servant relieved, but she used "Shizi" in the second title, and the old servant understood it immediately. This was a distinction between public and private matters. Of course he also understood Liang Tiantian's
mean.
"If it's convenient for you two young masters, you might as well come with me." The old servant said respectfully. He also believed that his nephew would not commit such villainous behavior, but he did not dare to guarantee it.
Liang Tiantian glanced at his two brothers.
Liang Mancang frowned slightly, seeming hesitant.
Liang Mancang said carelessly: "Go ahead. I don't believe that Hao Xiucai is the villain behind his back, so I'll ask him face to face." Hearing this, Liang Mancang also nodded, "I don't believe it either."
The steps are very good, so it’s not just reckless to stock up.
The group left Liang's house and went straight to Hao's house.
The Hao family also lived in Dongcheng, Lingshan County. The carriage only took a short distance to reach the Hao family.
The old servant got off his horse, his face gloomy.
"Go, bring that boy Hao Wenxiu to the hall." He drove straight in. The people in front of Hao's house were just stunned for a moment, and then they all got out of the way. There were still people who were busy with their luggage. "I've seen you, uncle."
Hao Wenxiu's father is the son of his old servant brother. The eldest brother has passed away and he has never had a family. He really regards this family as his direct children, but he doesn't expect them to cause such a disaster. This matter is both
However, the Liang family became suspicious, and it must be that Hao Wenxiu did something wrong. He did not believe that Hao Wenxiu would tell the truth behind his back, so he only scolded him for being confused and careless, allowing villains to take advantage of the loopholes, and making his master feel uncomfortable.
This matter cannot be taken lightly.
Hao Wenxiu's father was not at home, and the county school was on holiday. The news that Enke would be appointed to the court next year had been released. Hao Wenxiu was also at home preparing for the provincial examination next year, so when he heard that the old servant had arrived, he came over to see him.
"Why did uncle come here when he was free?" Hao Wenxiu was very close to this uncle on weekdays. He was shouting happily before entering the hall, but when he saw the people inside, he was stunned.
"Why are the two Liang brothers here?" He blinked, and became even more puzzled when he saw his uncle's face sinking. His uncle was someone close to the Dingyuan Marquis. Without this relationship, their family would still be there.
How could a salesman who was doing small business in the countryside build such a big business in just a few years? All of this was due to his uncle.
But the question is, how did the Liang family know their uncle?
Let's look at where brother Liang Mancang is sitting. He actually let his uncle sit down slightly. What's going on?
Brother Liang Mancang, who was a classmate in the county school, did not dare to show off, so he stood up and returned the greeting. "Brother Hao." Liang Mancang smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry to bother you today." He suddenly regretted it. In fact, he had been hesitant before, but this trip actually
You shouldn't have come. Don't worry about it. After all, we are all students of the county school. After this commotion today, how can we meet in the future.
But he wasn't willing to come. After all, his house was almost ransacked, so it was awkward to think about it.
Hao Wenxiu couldn't figure out the situation. Just when he was about to say a few words, his uncle shouted coldly, "Kneel down!"
Hao Wenxiu did not dare to neglect, even if she had doubts in her heart, she still knelt down straight and said obediently: "Uncle, I don't know why you are so angry? If Wenxiu did something wrong as a young man, uncle can beat and scold her.
Don't get so angry." My uncle is also in his sixties, so he wouldn't dare to provoke me. The Hao family relies on this man for everything.
The old servant didn't appreciate it, "You are very well-behaved." Then he shouted, "Come here, please give me some advice."
Hao Wenxiu's eyes widened and he looked around blankly.
"Uncle, I wonder what mistake Wenxiu made?" Hao Wenxiu was really confused when his uncle suddenly came to visit with two classmates from the county school.
"Since I don't know what mistake I made, I'll beat you until you understand." A servant brought a cane, and the old servant grabbed it, kicked Hao Wenxiu, and pointed to the spring stool, "Get on it yourself."
Hao Wenxiu has been afraid of this uncle since he was a child. He has eaten a lot of canes from his hands since he was a child, and he dared to disobey him. But it is different today. Two classmates are here. If he has his pants stripped and beaten, he will lose face in the future.
Where else to put it.
"Uncle, where did Wenxiu make a mistake? Please show me the way." Otherwise, he would be punished like this. After all, he was young and unconvinced.
Liang Mancang frowned slightly, wanting to say something. Liang Mancang shook his head slightly, and he subconsciously stopped.
At this time, it is difficult for outsiders to interrupt.
The old servant did this today. On the one hand, he was angry and wanted to give an explanation to his master. On the other hand, he also did it to show the Liang family. Seeing that Hao Wenxiu was still confused, he nodded secretly and said with a straight face: "Liang
The family was investigated by the government the day before yesterday, and the county magistrate said that someone was a whistleblower, and the Liang family was using the official kiln privately... But after asking, he said that you were the whistleblower, and you can tell yourself whether you should be punished."
At first, Hao Wenxiu was so surprised that she opened her mouth wide, but she became dumbfounded when she heard the last sentence.
Official kiln for private use?
He suddenly thought of what he said that day at Liang's house and shuddered.
Liang Mancang shrank his gaze and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The old servant's heart skipped a beat, "It's really you!" The cane hit him all over his head and face, making Hao Wenxiu scream in agony.
The old servant thought that his master was injured and still cared about it, so he was not willing to spare him, so he whipped him fiercely, regardless of whether it was the head or the buttocks, "You bastard, you have read the book into the dog's belly, classmate, you also
If you dare to frame me, who taught you the truth..."
Hao Wenxiu rolled on the ground in pain, screamed, and wanted to defend himself, but the cane tightened suddenly and he didn't even have a chance to open his mouth. He tried hard not to be embarrassed, but he couldn't bear the accident.
I couldn't help it, the pain was so intense that my whole body shivered.
The pain was so severe that Hao Wenxiu only had time to shout, "Uncle, spare my life!" (To be continued...)
