The sky outside was still pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Most ordinary people are still sleeping in their houses at this time.
But because Zhao Junchen was about to go to the morning court, he was awakened by Fang Ru on his pillow, and then was served by Fang Ru and the maids to change clothes and wash, clean up, eat breakfast, and prepare for the next morning court.
When everything was ready, it was almost half time.
After drinking another cup of ginseng tea to refresh his mind, Zhao Junchen stopped delaying, said goodbye to Fang Ru, and walked out of the main hall. While chatting with Xu Qingyan, he walked out of the house.
Although the Zhao Mansion occupies a large area, it didn't take long for the main gate of the Zhao Mansion to appear in front of Zhao Junchen's eyes with the help of a little light from the lantern in the servant's hand.
However, just as he was about to leave the house, Zhao Junchen's brows suddenly wrinkled.
Because, usually at this time, the stewards and servants in the Zhao Mansion's gatehouse should have been waiting for Zhao Junchen here to welcome Zhao Junchen to the morning court.
But at this time, no servants from the concierge showed up.
Moreover, although there was still some distance, Zhao Junchen clearly heard that there were loud arguments and noises coming from outside the Zhao Mansion at this time.
Linking the two together, Zhao Junchen thought to himself: "Is it possible that something happened outside the mansion? Why didn't I get the news?"
At the same time, Xu Qingyan also noticed something was wrong and frowned: "What's going on? It sounds like there are people quarreling outside the mansion, and there is no concierge waiting here. Is it possible that there are still people who dare to come to our Zhao Mansion?"
There's trouble in front of the door?! At this time, it's the dead of night, so what could happen?"
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said, "You'll know when you go out and take a look."
While talking, Zhao Junchen was already walking towards the door of the mansion first, and Xu Qingyan, Qin Wei and others also followed quickly with lanterns in hand.
However, when he arrived outside the mansion, the scene in front of him made Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be stunned.
…………
Outside the Zhao Mansion, more than twenty refugees were gathered together, forming a circle, as if they were protecting something. But they seemed to be in the wrong, and they looked like they were willing to be beaten and scolded.
The people who argued with them were four or five men dressed as servants, but they did not look like people from the Zhao family. Although they were small in number, their attitude was arrogant and domineering. They kept kicking, beating and cursing at the refugees.
As for the servants of the Zhao Mansion's concierge, they were standing aside watching the excitement without any intention of intervening.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Junchen snorted softly. Although he still didn't know the cause of the matter, he was already unhappy when he encountered such a thing before going to court in the morning.
On the other side, Xu Qingyan even said angrily: "What did the concierge do!? He actually allowed outsiders to make noise in front of our house!? If this spread, wouldn't it lose the face of our Zhao family?! Also,
"Why are these refugees still here? Didn't they say they were driven away yesterday?"
At the same time, Zhao Junchen's appearance was also discovered by the servants of the Zhao Mansion concierge.
The head concierge's expression changed even more, and he trotted up to Zhao Junchen. With a little timidity, he saluted Zhao Junchen and said: "Young man, I have seen the master, there is some trouble here, but please still ask me."
Don’t worry, sir, I’ll take care of it right away.”
Zhao Junchen didn't look relieved at all, he just frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing Zhao Junchen's unhappy expression, the concierge couldn't help but panic, and quickly explained: "Hui, Hui, sir, these refugees are shameless and very difficult to deal with. Yesterday, I clearly drove them away, but today
After I opened the door early, I found that they were back again. I was just planning to chase them away again to save them from being an eyesore, but before I could say anything, the people from Huangge Lao Huang's mansion came."
Zhao Junchen was stunned and asked: "Are you saying that the people who had the dispute with these refugees were people from Ge Lao Huang Yourong's house?"
While asking, Zhao Junchen's mind flashed to Huang Yourong's rich face, with a "kind" look that always concealed a smile, and his brows couldn't help but frown deeper.
The concierge nodded repeatedly and continued to explain: "These people in Huang's Mansion seem to have been searching for these refugees all night, and they just found us. When the two sides met, they had a dispute, and they seemed to want to rob them from these refugees.
What is it, but when I asked them what it was, they didn’t answer. They just said that it would be solved immediately and would never embarrass our Zhao family. Because the matter involved Mr. Huang Ge, the younger ones were also in trouble and it was difficult to intervene, so they had to first
Let them resolve the dispute."
After listening to the explanation of the concierge, Zhao Junchen finally understood why someone dared to cause trouble in front of his house, and why the concierge of Zhao's house did not intervene.
The servants in Huang Yourong's mansion, relying on Huang Yourong's protection, naturally dared to mess around in front of Zhao's mansion, but the concierge of Zhao's mansion, worried that Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong were officials in the same court and had equal power, did not dare.
Offended easily.
However, why did the servants in Huang Yourong's mansion search for these refugees all night? Is there anything in the hands of these refugees that Huang Yourong deserves to snatch?
However, in any case, the people in Huang Yourong's house behaved like this, which meant that they did not take Zhao Junchen seriously.
Zhao Junchen sneered: "Elder Huang Ge has always been greedy for power. During the fight, he even refused to give face to the chief minister Zhou Shangjing. But now he has become more and more powerful, and he has begun to fight for the things in the hands of the refugees!"
On the other side, Xu Qingyan didn't even care about Huang Yourong's power. He just pointed at the concierge and cursed: "You useless thing! Is it possible that Huang Yourong's people can cause trouble in front of our Zhao Mansion? If the news spreads, there will be no trouble."
If you want people to think that our Zhao family is afraid of Huang Yourong’s power, can you afford to let the young master lose his face?!"
The concierge didn't think of this, and his face turned pale.
Zhao Junchen ignored the useless concierge and just looked up at the conflict.
…………
"You dare to rob people in our house? Are you tired of living?!"
"Believe it or not, men will let the people from Shuntian Mansion arrest you and put you in jail?"
"Hurry up and hand her over! We can still consider letting you go, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
I could only hear people in Huang Yourong's house yelling and cursing. Not only were they yelling, they were also punching and kicking them, looking extremely arrogant.
As for the refugees, they still stood in a circle and allowed Huang Yourong's people to beat and scold them. Although they looked flustered, they did not move. They just stood outside, as if to protect someone in the circle.
While the two sides were arguing, they did not notice Zhao Junchen's appearance.
When Zhao Junchen saw this scene, he frowned again. He looked up at the sky and saw that there was still time. He ordered the concierge: "Let the leaders on both sides come to see me!"
The concierge was waiting in fear for Zhao Junchen to show off. After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, he did not dare to neglect. After saying hello, he took the servants in the concierge to start the fight.
But this time, the concierge was no longer polite. He wanted to regain the prestige of the Zhao family, but he hurled swear words while pulling the two sides apart. There was a servant of the Huang family who didn't react. He was getting up again and was still fighting.
He scolded the refugees, but was kicked to the ground by the concierge.
When the leading member of the Huang family saw this situation, they were concerned about Zhao Junchen's power and were now in front of the Zhao family. However, he did not dare to take the initiative to conflict. He just blocked the others behind him and asked the concierge.
: "What does this brother mean? These refugees have robbed things from our Huang Mansion. Now that we want to take them back, it is our Huang Mansion's own business. Is it possible that you want to interfere?"
The porter snorted coldly and said, "Even if it's a matter in your house, you can't mess around in front of our Zhao Mansion! Come with me, my master will ask you for questions."
Then, the concierge shouted to the refugees: "You should also come out as a leader. My master has something to ask."
After hearing the words of the concierge, the refugees and the people in the Huang Mansion discovered Zhao Junchen standing in front of the Zhao Mansion, and their expressions changed.
Among them, most of the refugees were happy when they saw that things had turned around. On the contrary, the faces of those in the Huang Mansion changed.
When they caused trouble in front of the Zhao Mansion, these people in the Huang Mansion originally had the intention of making a quick decision. 5 Unexpectedly, these refugees were so stubborn that they failed to achieve their goals. Not only were they exiled from the house, but they were also kicked out of the house.
Zhao Junchen, who was about to go to court, met him.
However, they did not dare not listen to Zhao Junchen's call. The leader of the Huang Mansion hesitated for a moment, then followed the concierge and came to Zhao Junchen.
On the other side, the representative of the refugees was an old man. When the old man came to Zhao Junchen, he was holding a little girl who was only about eight or nine years old in his hand.
…………
On the other side, seeing the leaders of both parties approaching, Zhao Junchen did not ask what was going on. He just looked at both parties and said in a cold voice: "Who gave you the courage to make trouble in front of my house?"
?”
When the leader of the Huang Mansion heard Zhao Junchen's question, his tone was light, but there was a pressure from a superior that should not be underestimated. His face turned pale. Just as he was about to say something, the old man suddenly knelt down with a plop.
In front of Zhao Junchen, he cried loudly: "Sir, you must make the decision for us!"
The old man cried miserably, but Zhao Junchen still ignored him and just continued to stare at the leader of the Huang family.
Under Zhao Junchen's cold gaze, the leader of Huang Mansion couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and hurriedly explained: "I hope Mr. Zhao can forgive me. It is true that these refugees are rude and robbed my old Huang Ge's things. We are
In order to get it back, I definitely didn’t mean to offend, and please forgive me, Mr. Zhao!”
"Oh? Mr. Huang Ge was actually robbed by these refugees? I didn't know that these refugees were so promising and could rob Mr. Huang Ge of his things. What did they rob your master?"
Zhao Junchen snorted lightly and asked.
However, after hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, the leader of the Huang Mansion looked embarrassed and hesitated without answering.
On the other side, the old man was still crying and a little confused. He was begging Zhao Junchen to make the decision.
For a moment, no one answered Zhao Junchen's question.
Just when Zhao Junchen was getting impatient, a clear and pleasant girl's voice came.
"It's not grandpa and the others who are grabbing things, it's them who want to grab the shrimps. The shrimps have been following grandpa all the time. They are not their things."
Hearing this voice, Zhao Junchen was slightly startled. He lowered his head and looked towards the source of the voice. Only to find that the speaker was the little girl who was being held by the old man.
Obviously, the "shrimp" in the little girl's mouth is herself.
The girl's little face was covered with dust and looked a little dirty, but her delicate facial features and delicate face could still be seen, and she was obviously a beauty.
But what is more eye-catching is the little girl's big eyes. They are big, but dull and lifeless. She seems to be looking up at Zhao Junchen, but she is somewhat unsure of Zhao Junchen's identity.
Zhao Junchen suddenly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the little girl's eyes, but the little girl's eyes did not move.
This little girl is actually blind!
However, seeing the little girl's delicate face, Zhao Junchen suddenly understood the general reason for the conflict between Huang Yourong's people and these refugees.
Huang Yourong is famous for three things among the government and the public. One is greed for power, the other is hiding a knife in his smile, and the third is Huang Yourong's special hobby for young girls! (To be continued...)
