Chapter 57
: The Iron Proof
His reminder was very timely. Master Lu nodded, suppressed his anger, pointed at Xie Hong and shouted at the head of the ban: "I won't have a quarrel with you, a crazy guy. Fu Ban Tou, why don't you take this person down?"
Fu Bantuo was depressed. He didn't want to come at first, but Master Lu had no choice but to suppress him by the magistrate. However, he was neither willing nor dared to offend Xie Hong. Although the magistrate was a Shangguan, Lord Xie was even more amazing. Who could guarantee that he would be fine if he had to go against him? He didn't see that Chen Dianshi was so miserable, so he didn't dare to come again?
It's a dilemma, why did Lao Fu get into such a thing? Fu Bantou's brows were almost furrowing. He planned to just be a puppet and listened to it. Unexpectedly, after a verbal battle, Master Lu lost and actually made himself stand out. Isn't this a fatal blow?
Fu Bantu could feel that although Xie Hong didn't say anything, his eyes were coldly staring at him, which made his body feel cold. I dare not, really dare not... Thinking of Xie Hong's many deeds, how could Fu Bantu be willing to take action? He looked up and said to Master Lu:
"Master Lu, Lord Xie is the villain's Shangguan. Your instructions are too embarrassing to the villain. Why don't you ask the magistrate to come out and decide what to do?"
Well, magistrate? Master Lu was stunned. Since the magistrate refused to come forward before, he should not think about it at this time. The old fried dough stick is even more slippery than this little one, Master Lu thought angrily.
"The magistrate is studying hard, so how can I take care of these idle things? If you have to bother the lord in everything, and you still need us aides, what's the use of assistants?" Master Lu changed the topic and turned back: "Fu Bantu, are you going to disobey your life?"
Fu Bantou looked up at Master Lu, then turned to look at Xie Hong, and had the urge to cry. What does it mean to fight against gods and mortals suffer? That's it. It's not easy to mess with both sides. Who do I always offend, and I will be caught in the middle and suffer this crime.
Xie Hong had known Fu Bantu's temperament, and it would be impossible to expect him to work hard at the critical moment. On the other hand, if he would offend him desperately, Xie Hong would not believe it. At this time, he watched coldly and saw that Fu Bantu was hesitant as he expected, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It would be fine if there was no accident. Then, it was time to show his trump card.
He suddenly said aloud: "Master Lu, you slander me for being greedy for the sake of being greedy. If you are the one who is the one who is the one who is in trouble, please do not care about it. If you frame me, you must always come up with evidence, right?" After saying that, Xie Hong looked calm and stood there casually, as if he was just talking about where to eat at night.
It was time for the showdown. Master Lu had imagined this scene in his mind, and he was very happy at that time.
However, when Xie Hong put on the calm and relaxed look again, he hesitated. He had seen this with his own eyes twice, one was the argument between the yamen and the Dong family, and the other was the argument between the Gu family and Xie Hong in front of the Xie family.
This impression left him too deep. It seemed that Xie Hong was like this every time he showed his trump card, and he won every time. So, it was time for the showdown again. Master Lu, who was still very angry just now, was very nervous. Could there be any problem with the evidence? An idea lingers in his heart and cannot be removed.
Qian Juren on the other hand was anxious. He was not familiar with Xie Hong, and he didn't understand Master Lu's mood at all, and he didn't know what Xie Hong's expression that seemed very annoying to him mean. He only knew that if he could seize this opportunity and knock the young man down in one fell swoop, then he would get what he wanted most.
What is the most desirable thing for a Juren? Of course, it is one of them. However, what Qian Juren wants is not this. He was successful at a young age and passed the imperial examination early. It’s a pity that he was not lucky. He went to Beijing to take the exam several times but failed to get a gold medal. Now is not the time to start the country, and he has no background. If a Juren wants to become an official? Just line up slowly.
After many years, he gave up this idea. Besides, when he went to Beijing again and again, his family spent a lot of money. Although the Qian family was surnamed Qian, they were just ordinary families and could not afford it. As a result, he did not cause trouble, but the matter found him. His father died of illness and his mother was seriously ill. A juren suddenly became extremely poor, and he had to work as a clerk in the yamen to make a living.
Of course, Qian Juren did not recognize the identity of a clerk. He thought he was just helping in the yamen. After a few years, he had become accustomed to it and no one else mentioned it. However, a small Beizhuang County suddenly appeared in a small Beizhuang County! A small scholar actually became the ninth-rank chief clerk by offering a treasure.
Isn't this a gentle man to sweep the floor? Qian Juren hated him. Because of this Xie Zhuan, the matter of being a clerk was frequently mentioned. Everyone was saying: "Look at Xie Zhuan, a young hero... Look at Qian Juren, who is still a juren, but he can only be a clerk. I don't know what good luck he has gotten."
Good luck? It was obvious that I studied hard for more than ten years before I was able to pass the exam, but it was called luck! And the one who really relied on luck to get an official position. No, Xie Hong, who even took the exam to get a scholar, was a young boy who was praised by everyone and said that he was Wenquxing? Bah! Just thank him for Xie Hong?
Unlike Master Lu, Qian Juren's resentment was always buried in his heart. He did not do anything except not meeting Xie Hong. But day after day, the jealousy was like a poisonous snake, biting his heart. He didn't want to hear any news about Xie Hong, so he knew nothing about Xie Hong.
It was not until Master Lu asked him to transfer the money and grain books that he proposed this plan to him, and the Gu family promised him another hundred taels of silver. Qian Juren's anger erupted in full. But at the critical moment, the old man Lu suddenly became stunned again. These guys without fame were just unreliable. Qian Juren gave Master Lu a blank look, took out the account book from his arms, and shouted coldly:
"The evidence is here, the evidence is as strong as a mountain. Xie Hong, no matter how you argue, you can't escape justice today." Finally, I'm going to knock this kid back to his original form. Qian Juren's expression on his face was a little distorted, and you have no background, how can you surpass me? Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy, I will do my best for heaven today, so that you will never betray you!
Yes, the evidence was clearly tested by me and Juren Qian. What could be wrong? Although I am a little older, my eyes are still very useful and there will be no problems. The momentum of my companion encouraged Master Lu, and the old man recovered from the chaos.
