"Absolutely ridiculous!"

Young Master Jiang, who was slightly distracted by the pain, was completely awakened by the sudden loud shout, and then the loud scream made him tremble violently, and as a result, his butt suddenly felt even more painful.

.He saw the eldest young master of the Qi family slumped on the ground like a frightened little rabbit, and couldn't help but secretly cursed that he was useless.

But before he could decide whether to help a group of young masters of the Qi family, he heard Zhu Tingfang's cold voice.

"Everyone wants to be a filial son? Do they think that seeking loyal ministers must come from a filial son's family? This is true, but it does not necessarily mean that a filial son comes from a filial son's family! Jiang's son took the blame for his father, at least because of his father's past conduct.

Shang Ke, why are you taking the blame for your extremely evil father? Come here, kick the Qi family out and ask Dr. Zhang from the Imperial College to teach him a lesson!"

Since it was Zhang Shou who asked Young Master Jiang to come up with the idea, when Young Master Qi was stunned and was dragged out by two guards and thrown at the gate of the county government office, Zhang Shou, the instigator, naturally had no choice but to leave behind the screen and rush over. However, when he saw

When Young Master Qi collapsed on the ground in despair, crying loudly, and smelling the smell of pepper again, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Is it true that he is so emotionless that he can't even cry?

If you really can't cry, then you can at least think about the painful life of being ignored by your biological father and mistreated by your stepmother. You should be able to cry, right? If the crowd of onlookers smells this pepper smell, how can you pretend to be a filial son?

Compared with Mr. Jiang, who is cute but also somewhat sincere, and has received fourteen canes on behalf of his father, there is really a huge difference!

He thought so in his heart, but Zhang Shou didn't show it on his face. Especially when he saw that the Zhu family's servants and the Ding family had very wisely isolated the onlookers within a certain range, he gently said to the eldest young master: "Filial piety is a good thing.

, but if your parents and brothers committed a capital crime and you still refuse to admit the reality because of your so-called filial piety, then you become a foolish filial piety."

"But that's because I'm usually clueless, always neglectful, and fail to give advice. I'm not a good son or a good brother!"

Although Young Master Qi, who was still sobbing at this time, knew that he might not be able to deceive many people by being so pretentious, but since his parents and brothers were all sentenced to death, he was not stupid enough to think that he could take charge of the family business alone - just like the Qi family.

It would be weird if someone didn't swallow him up! He was sitting on the ground and just fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

"How can I, a son and an elder brother, face the death penalty of my parents and brothers, and I am the only one spared? I sincerely ask the two imperial envoys to allow others to take over the Qi family business. I am willing to go into the ancestral hall of my home to clean and repent every day, and to be the one who

Parents and brothers atone for their sins!”

Seeing that Young Master Qi is both good at singing and composing, Zhang Shou's attitude became more and more warm. Anyway, that's the kind of persona he has among the people in Cangzhou now, and he doesn't mind letting this persona become more popular among the people. Let Zhu Tingfang, the bad guy, go to hell.

If he does, he can just try to act like a good person who is considerate of the people.

"Who do you want to take over the family business for you?" When he said this, Zhang Shou was thinking in his heart. I heard that besides Qi Yuan, there are several direct nephews, among whom there are even scholars who are good at studying. It is said that they are promising in the provincial examination next year.

Guibang title.

Although there are other wealthy families in Cangzhou, it is not impossible to support several other families to take over this mess this time. Some people may even flock to it. However, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty said that those who use merit are not as good as those who have done it. Li Xian, the crown prince of Zhang Huai, died unexpectedly.

He once left an annotation on this sentence, saying that if Qin Mu pardoned Meng Ming and used it to dominate Xirong, he felt that this principle also applies to this time.

Therefore, today, when Zhu Tingfang was clearing out the most sinful people in these families, he was selecting those who could be used from the remaining members of the families. If possible, he would actually prefer to select an unrelated descendant to take charge of the Qi family.

This is to prevent those seemingly innocent direct descendants from disobeying control in the future and causing trouble again.

However, it is taboo to directly select a collateral descendant to take over the family business when there are still some innocent direct descendants in the family. It is easy for people to think that the government is taking away people's property.

Hearing Zhang Shou's question, the eldest young master of the Qi family cried even more. After a long while, he said word by word in a voice that sounded like he was about to die: "I am willing to entrust the entire Qi family to the good brother of the Jiang family."

!”

Zhang Shou was stunned. What kind of divine development is this? The eldest son of the Qi family actually entrusted his family business to Young Master Jiang? I never heard that these two are good friends! Young Master Jiang had been with Zhang Chen before

With the support of the young master of the Qi family, the powerful stepmother of the eldest son of the Qi family was imprisoned in the ancestral hall. This was not purely out of sympathy, but because the young master Jiang... had a clear conscience.

Almost instantly, a series of thoughts went through Zhang Shou's mind.

Seeing that the people around him were talking a lot, he simply asked bluntly: "Oh? Why is that so? Your Qi family is also a prominent family in Cangzhou. Isn't there any other son with a clean net worth and outstanding abilities?"

When he asked, someone in the crowd immediately echoed: "That's right, how can there be any reason to hand over the family property to outsiders?"

The eldest young master of the Qi family didn't seem to expect that Zhang Shou didn't just agree, but raised a question. He was lying on the ground crying and raised his head pitifully. His face was black and white due to dust and tears, and his eyes were

Crying till I am red.

And his voice was dry and weak: "There are many children from the Qi family, but some are distantly related, some have never shown any talent, and some are only good at studying. I can't delay their exams... But the most important thing is

Yes, the wise brother of the Jiang family is a pure and filial man, and it is because of him that I have just realized what it is like to be a son. Moreover, he has a pure and kind heart, so he will definitely be able to take good care of my wife and children."

In an instant, there was an exclamation all around. And amidst such exclamations, Young Master Jiang's reputation, which had been rising recently, was at its peak. For someone to trust his wife and children, that was a very high level of trust these days.

.I didn’t expect that Mr. Jiang, who was once regarded as cowardly and incompetent, turned out to be a truly filial son and a kind man?

Zhang Shou looked at Young Master Qi with a subtle expression. Seeing that he was not joking at all, he said without looking back: "Go to the hall and report this to General Zhu, and then call Jiang Dalang out."

When Young Master Jiang saw Young Master Qi trying to imitate him but was kicked out of the court by Zhu Tingfang, he was shocked. He didn't even dare to say a word, let alone plead for mercy. Therefore, when Ah Liu hurried in, his voice

When I coldly asked him to go out, he almost sat down on the ground as he could barely stand!

It wasn't until Zhu Tingfang spoke that he followed Ah Liu out with some guilt. But when he left the court and passed the still blood-stained platform, he felt that his already painful buttocks started to twitch again. He didn't know what was happening outside.

What exactly happened, he whispered: "Although the boss of the Qi family listened to my instigation, that was also the intention of Dr. Zhang and Young Master Zhang..."

Ah Liu, who was leading the way, just turned a deaf ear to Young Master Jiang's explanation. When he stopped talking as if he didn't know how to continue, he said calmly: "Be mentally prepared."

Mental preparation? What kind of mental preparation? Young Master Jiang was at a loss. He didn't even notice that Zhang Chen, who had taken off the black dog skin of a guard, had followed him out quietly. When he arrived at the gate of the county government office,

Before he could say anything, Zhang Shou suddenly turned his head and looked at him, followed closely by Young Master Qi, and then...

Darling, there were at least hundreds of people watching from all directions, and they all looked at him!

He had never experienced such a feeling of being watched by thousands of eyes. Young Master Jiang felt his scalp was numb and his knees were weak. So when Zhang Shou relayed Young Master Qi’s request, he did not react at all and just stayed blank.

Just stood there.

Entrust me with the Qi family? Entrust me with your wife and children too? What do you mean?

Zhang Shou saw the cute and cute Young Master Jiang with his mouth slightly open, eyes dull, and a look of confusion on his face as if he didn't understand. Then he looked at Zhang Chen behind him, who was covering his forehead and couldn't bear to look at that stupid expression, and he withdrew his gaze.

He nodded towards the pleading young master of the Qi family.

"Since you trust Jiang Dalang and have entrusted your wife and children with the family business, if Jiang Dalang is here now, you can ask him to take up the burden of your family on your behalf."

How could Young Master Qi fail to see Young Master Jiang’s surprise and confusion? Even though the two had not had a close relationship in the past - after all, one was the eldest son of Qi who was suppressed by his father and stepmother to the point of being depressed and cowardly and did nothing, and the other was the eldest son of Qi who was suppressed by his father and stepmother.

The eldest son of Chiang Kai-shek, whose father was responsible for all the household chores, didn't even learn a shrewdness - however, he knew exactly who Young Master Jiang was.

His weakness was cultivated since he was a child, and Young Master Jiang's naivety and stupidity were also indulged by the too generous life. Therefore, knowing that Young Master Jiang had no preparation at all in advance, he struggled to get up and arrived at Jiang's home.

He knelt down again with a plop in front of the young master, and then said in a tearful tone: "Brother Jiang Xian, the whole family is in ruins, you must help my brother... No, save my brother!"

Young Master Jiang was completely confused at this time. He almost instinctively stretched out his hand to pull the person off. But he had just received fourteen canes and his buttocks were still on fire. How could he have the strength to pull someone taller and fatter off him?

Young Master Qi was dragged up?

So, not only did he fail to succeed, but he fell directly on the young master Qi! At this time, his back clothes, which had just received fourteen strokes and were leaking a little blood, were thrown forward.

The child was exposed.

Even though they had just heard the screams of the four members of the Jiang family and saw Mr. Jiang being carried out with an expression of anger, many officials and common people still had some doubts about the so-called rod punishment. They had just seen Young Master Jiang staggering on the stage.

When someone tried to help Young Master Qi, he fell down instead. He even screamed and couldn't get up. There were still clear marks of pain on his butt, so there was no doubt about it for a moment.

In addition, the three members of the Qi family have been severely punished and may be executed... This is really something that has not happened in Cangzhou City for many years!

Young Master Qi didn't mind Young Master Jiang's sudden fall. He even ignored the pain of being hit and carefully helped him up. Then he begged with tears in his eyes: "Brother Jiang Xian, the Qi family has ended up like this."

The situation is that it was my parents and brothers who acted recklessly, and it was also my incompetence and oversight, but there must be other dogs and rats in the Qi family who acted recklessly!"

"I am incompetent and unable to deal with these, and I don't know how to deal with those cousins ​​or distant uncles and brothers at home, so I can only entrust you to it. I believe you will be able to clean up all those bastards in the Qi family.

Clean! I also entrust you with what General Zhu and Dr. Zhang said before about resuming work, etc. I just ask that you can wash away the Qi family's reputation, and I can live up to my ancestors!"

While he was talking, he hit his head on the ground, and he bled immediately after two hits.

"If it weren't for the fact that my son is still young, and he and I are the only direct descendants of the Qi family now, I wish I could have killed myself here to atone for my sins! Brother Jiang Xian, please take pity on me as a brother..."

Young Master Jiang was so distraught that Young Master Qi cried. Even though he was the one who mentioned this matter to others, he never thought that this matter would happen to him after all this going around! He looked helplessly at

Zhang Shou, only to see that Zhang Shou was noncommittal; when he went to see Zhang Chen, he only saw that Zhang Chen's face was full of hatred that iron could not become steel; when he went to look at the surrounding people who were watching, he suddenly heard a loud voice.

"Promise him!"

Following this voice, boos and hootings arose one after another, so that Mr. Jiang's face gradually turned red. Although he knew that Mr. Qi was mostly just putting on a show, he must have been sincere in entrusting him with his family property, wife and children, and I believe he was also sincere.

As for the people watching, he really didn't expect that he would get so much support one day, even if he was just watching the fun and following the herd mentality!

Zhang Shou had been watching quietly. When he noticed that Young Master Jiang raised his hand and wiped his eyes vigorously, he knew that this somewhat stupid rich man must have made up his mind. Sure enough, the next moment, he saw

He stood up unsteadily, stared at Young Master Qi for a long time, and finally bowed his head solemnly.

"Since you trust me, I will definitely live up to your expectations. I will summon the most capable accountants to make a clear inventory of all the Qi family's property. If even one cent of the property falls into my Jiang family or anywhere else,

, then I, Jiang Siyuan, will kill myself to apologize!"

The roaring cheers echoed everywhere in an instant. Even if there were some in the crowd who were watching the joke, some watching the fun, some gloating, and some hoping to get angry... But at this time, this scene was undoubtedly in line with the values ​​​​of most people. In this

After the cheers gradually came to an end, Zhang Shougang said with a smile: "It would be great if there is a result. I will inform General Zhu right away."

Seeing Zhang Shou nodding with a smile and turning around to leave, Young Master Jiang reacted and hurriedly chased after him. Young Master Qi was still stunned by Young Master Jiang's words that sounded like a curse just now, and it took him a moment to realize his surprise.

I felt ashamed and ashamed for a moment.

He entrusted the family business to Young Master Jiang just because he was afraid that his uncles and brothers would be more greedy and take over the dove's nest in the future! It was not because he really believed that Young Master Jiang was in this position... In the final analysis, he was actually taking advantage of it.

People!
