Chapter 6: Incidents ()

Every day, the days passed quickly in the Fuli Nation School, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Cao Yong gradually got used to this kind of two-point and one-line life. He just thought he had been studying in the first grade again, and recited the articles when he should recite, and practiced the calligraphy when he should practice calligraphy. I don’t know if it was because of his maturity in his mind, or because his little body was smart, it was easy to remember his homework.

At noon that day, it was lunch break again. Cao Song ate a few bites of snacks and then took the food to circle Gu Na. The child was indomitable and had to come here every day. Cao Yong felt that the house was full of sweet snacks, so he was breathable when he left the house. After walking a few steps, someone whispered: "Uncle Yong, Uncle Yong!"

Cao Yong turned his head and saw that it was the servant from the Master's family, so he walked over.

The servant nodded and bowed, "Uncle Yong, my master is calling you to the backyard pavilion!"

Cao Yong was a little surprised: "Sir, called me? Did you call me other classmates, or just call me alone?"

The servant hurriedly stretched out his finger: "I called Uncle Yong, please go with the young man as soon as possible, my master is still waiting!"

Although Cao Yong felt a little confused, he wanted to make his elders wait for a long time and disrespectful, so he followed him.

There was a pavilion in the backyard. When Cao Yong saw it, he walked over. Cao Yong was not there. Cao Yong was still wondering what was going on. Suddenly, someone was covered with a wet cloth. He lost consciousness before he could struggle.

Not far away, the servant named Cao Yong came over happily fiddled with the two cents of silver in his hand, thinking in his heart that the affairs of the wealthy family were really strange, and even relatives could not meet each other at will. Although Mr. Gu San looked a little shabby, he was generous and seemed to want to use this Mr. Gong to fight the autumn wind in the Cao family. The next quarter of an hour, he was shocked. Isn’t the motionless villain that Gu San carried was the young master Gong who had just been brought here by him? He wanted to open his mouth and shout, but Gu San had already climbed over the wall.

The servant was so scared that he was trembling all over. Even if he was stupid, he could see that Gu San had no good intentions and he was an accomplice. He always had to find out what was on his head. He clenched his fists and decided to go back to the house to pack up his things and run away immediately. Although the escaped slave was a little more miserable, he could at least save his life.

In the school, Gu Na was still the same and was not moved by the food. Cao Song was bored and returned to his seat with regret. Seeing his brother's seat was empty, he searched everywhere. He looked around and saw that his front and back yards were all looking. He thought he had gone home and complained that he was not righteous enough.

When Cao Yong's book boy Ximo and Nongmo came to pack the snack box, Cao Song realized that his brother had not returned home. Why was the good guy missing? Both book boys were panicked. One went to the inner courtyard to find a gentleman, and the other went to inform Cao Fang and others in the front courtyard.

Not a minute later, Cao Yan and Cao Fang arrived, one was full of cold sweat and the other was innocent. Cao Yong was Cao Yin's only son, the old lady's heart. If there was anything wrong, everyone would not be able to escape. Several people went out together, and first confirmed with the concierge. Except for the servants of Cao Yan's family, no one left the house. Then they carefully searched San's yard for a thorough understanding, and even searched under the bed in the bedroom in the inner courtyard, but still did not see Cao Yong's shadow.

Such a big change happened, and the class in the school could not continue. The students were furious and were about to be over. Cao Fang thought more carefully and did not dare to let them go back. While asking someone to report to Cao Yin, he asked someone to guard the door and prevent people from going back. Even if people outside tied up people, it would be difficult to do without fear of being afraid of them.

A quarter of an hour later, Cao Yin arrived on a horse, and accompanied by his aide Zhuang Chang and more than a dozen guards in the mansion.

When Cao Yin heard about his son's disappearance, he thought he was dragged down by himself, and was afraid that his enemies would come to seek revenge. No matter what opponent he was, he could not take his son out of Jiangning at first. Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the few people who followed Cao Yong to take the guard to the four city gates to guard. Then, from the students to Changsui, who were following each, they all separated and asked each other. During the lunch break, no one was left alone, and there were people around him, so everyone should be able to eliminate the suspicion.

Zhuang Chang and his people found traces on the backyard wall. It seemed that someone had climbed over the wall from there. Everyone's eyes fell on Cao Yan, because the biggest suspect at the moment was the servant who had not returned to Cao Yan's family so far.

Cao Yin had not done anything yet, and Cao Yan was so angry that he fainted.

Many children in Zhuang Chang were so scared that they asked Cao Yin to let them go to their homes. Some of them were gloating in their eyes, and some were crying like Cao Song. Only Gu Na looked a little strange, his eyes were straight, and he didn't know what to think. Zhuang Chang noticed something strange, and quietly called his subordinates, and whispered an order.

Gu Nashen walked home with a deep kick and a shallow kick, his heart full of regret. No wonder the gambling father suddenly became kind in the past two days. He not only cared about his homework, but also asked the work and rest time in the school clearly. He endured it so that he did not tell the truth in front of everyone. Even if that man was despicable and shameless, he was his biological father.

From afar, seeing many people surrounding his yard, Gu Na thought that his father's affairs were exposed, and he was afraid that his mother would be implicated, so he hurried forward. However, there were several neighbors, all familiar faces, Chen Liu, who was driving a carriage on the street, Aunt Qian at the end of the street, and several neighbors. When Gu Na arrived, he started talking.

It turned out that yesterday, Gu San found Chen Liu and wanted to buy his carriage. Without money, he would sell Zhou to him as his wife. Chen Liu was an orphan, and his family was poor, and his family was just a few broken houses and a carriage. He was twenty-three or four years old and never married a wife. Although Gu San was a gambler, his wife's virtue was well known to everyone in the neighbors, so Chen Liu was willing to do so.

Gu San said that as long as Chen Liu's carriage plus two taels of silver, he would write a document to sell his wife. Chen Liu was afraid of being fooled, so he asked Aunt Qian, a neighbor who was accustomed to being a matchmaker, to help him read it. He was considered a middle-aged man.

Originally, he was afraid that he would not look good when going out during the day, so he asked Chen Liu to come to marry him tonight. Chen Liu waited until noon and felt that something was wrong, and was afraid that Gu San would run away with his family. When both his family and money were lost, he came to the door of the Gu family. Although he was a fool, he knew a little bit of etiquette and knew that it was inappropriate for him to come directly to the door, so he begged Aunt Qian and a few neighbors to help him make peace.

Zhou was born in a scholarly family. When she heard the neighbor's aunt call the door and wanted to open it, she saw a man mixed with it and thought it was inappropriate, so she answered a few words with Aunt Qian through the door. When she heard her husband sold her, she refused to open the door and wanted to wait for her son to come back to make decisions.

After reading the contract, Gu Na found that his father Gu San wrote it himself. He felt cold in his heart. He didn't expect that he could be so heartless, without caring about the love between the couple.

Gu Na hugged his fists and gave a gift to the neighbors: "Dear uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, the matter has been done so far, I won't say much, I want everyone to disperse first and let our mother discuss and discuss!" He went to Chen Liu again and said, "Uncle Chen, please rest assured. Since my father bought your carriage, the debt will fall on the boy. The mother is shy, and if she is so anxious and forced, a big problem will happen!"

As we all know, everyone thought that Gu Na’s words were justified, so they went to their own house. Even Chen Liu left calmly. He felt a little regretful, knowing that he was not worthy of Zhou’s family, and he thought about this marriage. Now, the carriage is gone, and he only hopes that the Gu boy can get some silver to pay the debt.

Zhou was inside the courtyard gate and repeatedly confirmed that there was only one son left outside, so he opened the crack in the door and let him in.

One afternoon, Zhou was already like a frightened bird. When he saw his son, he couldn't help but hugged him and started crying. When his son mentioned that the documents sold his wife were indeed written by her husband, a trace of despair appeared in Zhou's eyes.

Cao Fang and others guarded the four gates until dark and found nothing. On the one hand, Cao Yin sent people to search for them, and on the other hand, he sent people to various students' homes, and told the parents not to speak casually.

Cao Yin had to lie about the old lady, saying that his mother-in-law in Suzhou was sick and missed her grandson, so he sent someone to take her over. Li couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth. Li vomited blood and fainted. The old lady only thought that his daughter-in-law was worried about her parents' home, and she was worried that her grandson would go out alone, so she asked Li to prepare to go back to her parents' home. On the one hand, she could serve her mother and take care of her son. Li couldn't say anything about the pain in front of the old lady, and only knew how to cry silently.

Cao Quan and Zhao Jia couple knew the truth from their son, and they all came to the mansion to inquire. Because of the students, relatives and friends almost knew that the prince of the Weaving Mansion had been tied up. Cao Yin was afraid that the old lady would hear it, so he said no, and the servants in the mansion would not allow the mansion to spread the message to the inner courtyard, otherwise they would be killed by the stick, and thus he hid the news.

Li was waiting for news about his son, so he could not go back to his parents' home with peace of mind, and he could not stay in the mansion, for fear that he would not be able to justify himself in front of the old lady. Zhao Jia was also a mother, so he asked his sister-in-law to stay in her house for a few days. Cao Yin was worried that his wife would reveal traces of staying in the mansion, so he was investigated by the old lady, so he entrusted his wife to take care of her brother-in-law.

Let’s not talk about the panic of the Cao family. Just talking about Zhuang Chang’s side, he sent someone to follow Gu Na to learn about Gu San’s selling his wife to buy a carriage. Because of the coincidence of time, people had to doubt it. After sending someone to inquire about Gu San’s background, Zhuang Chang could make some conclusions, that Gu San might be the one who kidnapped Cao Yan.

The next day, the servant who ran away from the clan school showed his traces. It turned out that after he left that day, he went to a distant relative outside the city. The relative knew that he was selling himself as a slave, and when he saw that he was in a hurry, he asked for something. The servant was still young, so he stammered for a few words and told the truth. The relative was afraid of the responsibility, so he pretended to coax him to eat wine and food, and then he tied him up after drinking. After dawn, he called the official officer.

In the yamen, after a killing stick came down, the servant confessed the name of the head of the family. In Jiangning, the Cao family was also a tribe member of the Weaver Mansion, and the county magistrate did not dare to make a decision at will. He sent two yamen runners to take the servant to Cao Yu to identify the authenticity.

When Cao Yin got the news and came to Cao Yan's house, the servant had already explained the truth about Gu San kidnapping Cao Yan. Cao Yin heard that Zhuang often mentioned Gu San's wife selling his wife to buy a car, and he was already a little confused. Now that he got the accurate letter, he took people to Gu San's house.

Zhou did not know the reason, so he went out to the kitchen to prepare tea. Gu Na saw Cao Yin with cold frost on his face and asked about his father's whereabouts. After seeing his mother go out, he said, "That man sold my mother yesterday, which is a righteous destiny! But I am supported by that man. The father's debts and sons are paid for it. It is natural for him to ask the adults to tie me up. Maybe the man will be lost when he gets the news. I just want the adults to spare his mother and save her some decentness." At this point, he fell to the ground.

Although Cao Yin came with anger, it was not unreasonable. This arbitrary disaster was indeed caused by Gu San, and it had nothing to do with their mother. He was filial to himself. Seeing that Gu Na knew to protect his mother at such a young age, he felt very pity and reached out to help him up. Cao Yin was worried about his son, thinking that "the tiger will not eat his son", or that Gu San knew that his son was in Cao's house and could not be prepared to turn around.

The Gu family had already left behind, and there was no tea, just a few cups of clear water. Seeing Cao Yin's face was not good, Zhou thought if her husband had caused some trouble again, and asked tremblingly: "I don't know what my uncle is asking for him if my husband is not here?"

Cao Yin glanced at Zhou, then looked at Gu Na, sighed in his heart, and ordered the next person to go out and find Chen Liulai, the carriage seller.

Seeing that it was because of this ugly incident, Zhou was so embarrassed that he never dared to look up again.
