Chapter 162 The family of the emperor's close officials
On the way home, Zhu Hao told Yu San the detailed plan.
After arriving home, I gave the Mongolian sweat medicine that I had prepared earlier to Yu San, briefly explained the usage and dosage, and gave Yu San some careful instructions before letting Yu San go about his business.
Hearing the rustling sound in the yard, Zhu Niang went out of the room, looked at her son who had returned from outside, and asked curiously: "Why did you come back at night? You are not playing on the road so late, are you?"
"Mom, can you stop treating me like a child? I can do a lot of things now, and I have some disciples now..."
Zhu Hao didn't want to lie, but he didn't want to say it clearly either.
Zhu Niang rolled her eyes at Zhu Hao: "Don't all the children in the village learn from Mr. Lu when they go to the city? When did they become your disciples? What did you say to Yu San just now?"
"Oh, I asked him to buy some things for me. They are all for the children in the village to study... Mom, don't worry."
Zhu Hao looked innocent and asked casually, "The Zhu family hasn't sent anyone to look for trouble recently, right? For example, grandmother, second uncle, housekeeper Liu and others, are there any strangers around the house?"
Mother Zhu was even more puzzled: "Why do you suddenly ask this? We live well here, and the Zhu family's land and house have been taken back, so why do you want to trouble us?"
Zhu Hao was puzzled.
Are the Zhu family so kind-hearted that they can just take the property back and settle the matter? Then before, Zhu Yanling went to the stage to cause trouble. What song was he singing?
"Oh, by the way, your sister-in-law sent a letter asking about your studies here. She said that if we don't get along well in Changshou County, we can move to Jingshan County and she will try to find a place for us to study...
...How should I reply to this letter? Are you okay in the palace..."
The rest is just a matter of family.
Zhu Hao didn't have to worry about studying for the time being, so he didn't need to move away. He just waited for what would happen that night.
…
…
Early in the morning.
The sky wasn't completely bright yet, so Zhu Hao got up in a hurry, put on his schoolbag and went out without even eating breakfast.
He went to the theater station.
People in the theater troupe usually get up very early in the morning in order to practice their skills. They basically practice in the winter and in the summer. Ten years of skills can only make them famous on stage.
"Little boss, why are you here?"
Chang Zaiyin welcomes Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao looked into the yard and saw no sign of Yu San. Instead, he saw Gong Yeling teaching Guan Jing how to step. Probably because Guan Jing's father was arrested and sent to the Yamen, he was afraid that he would be worried and sad, so he looked for something to do...
Almost the entire troupe was surrounding the little guy.
In the simple thinking of people like the troupe, if an opera singer enters the yamen, he will have to peel off his skin no matter how he comes out. Although the Guan family father and son are a little different, at least there is no dispute between them. At this time, they all want to help someone.
It's a handful.
"Master Yu hasn't returned yet? Forget it, I'll wait for him outside."
After about a cup of tea, Yu San came running all the way. When he saw Zhu Hao, the smile on his face spread, with a bit of evil.
Zhu Hao asked: "Is it done?"
Yu San nodded one after another, then leaned into Zhu Hao's ear and whispered: "According to Brother Hao's instructions, I found someone to compete with Young Master Zhu in the Jiaofang Department. The commotion was a bit big. I will be at your house later...
You had set up an ambush at your home and mixed the sobering tea with medicine. Young Master Zhu was so drunk that he fell asleep like a dead pig after drinking the tea. Then he stripped him naked and threw him on the street..."
"No one saw when I was doing it?" Zhu Hao asked again.
"No, who would pay attention in the middle of the night? Young Master Zhu took Fentou with him when he went back. The entourage and the driver took him home and left. I guess they didn't want to disturb his good things... The Fentou also drank tea. I guess now
Haven’t woken up yet…”
When Yu San said this, he asked tentatively: "Brother Hao, do we want to go and have a look?"
Zhu Hao nodded: "Of course I want to go and see the excitement, but the most important thing is to let the people in the government know early, otherwise, wouldn't we have done so much in vain?"
Yu Sandao: "The government is looking for someone to inform us. I guess the county government has sent someone by now!"
…
…
Zhu Hao, as the mastermind behind the scenes, took the executor to check the situation, but did not get too close.
When we arrived at the entrance of the nearby morning market, we saw a group of people watching and making noises. Several government officials rushed over and took the naked drunkard who was bathing in the early spring morning sun back to the government office. From the beginning to the end, not even a single figure of the Zhu family showed up.
"Who is that?"
"Who else could it be? The eldest young master of the Zhu family! I heard that yesterday I led someone to make a scene on the stage and was kicked off. I was thrown into such an embarrassing state."
"Isn't he the one who caused trouble in the classroom last night?"
"Who is he? It is said that he was very arrogant last night and almost had the Jiaofang Secretary kicked out..."
"This kind of person is a brother of the third brother Hao of the Zhu family. Now one is studying in the palace and the other is lying drunk on the street. Why is there such a big gap?"
Anlu is not a big city, and news spreads quickly among the neighbors. Some of the onlookers are familiar with the situation of Zhu Niang's family. Ever since the Zhu family took over Zhu Niang's rice shop, they have had their own opinions. Now that the Zhu family has
Shaojiu occupying the magpie's nest caused such a big joke, so naturally there was a lot of discussion and criticism.
"Go back and don't mention this to the people in the theater troupe. Just pretend it never happened. Yesterday you found helpers and asked them to go out of the city to avoid the limelight."
Zhu Hao explained to Yu San and went their separate ways.
…
…
Mrs. Zhu Jia was feeding her husband early in the morning. She smiled and mentioned the good news that her eldest son was going to return to Anlu. Butler Liu came over anxiously and called her out.
After asking, I found out that the eldest son of Zhu's family was causing trouble in the city.
"...Last night, the eldest young master led people to make a big fuss in the theater and was kicked off the stage by an actor. Last night, he went to the Jiaofang Division and made a big fuss because he was fighting for a piece of cake. After returning home, he was found lying on the street early this morning.
Go up...he doesn't even have any clothes to hide his shame. There are three layers of onlookers inside and three layers outside. With the current weather, I'm afraid they will suffer from frostbite..."
Zhu Jia was furious when he heard this: "So many things happened in one night? Where is the actor who committed the murder?"
Liu Guanjia said: "It was captured by the county government."
When Zhu Jia heard this, his anger subsided a little, and he asked sharply: "What about the bad grandson? If you don't repent, you don't dare to come back, right?"
Butler Liu then had no choice but to tell the truth: "People from the county government went there early in the morning, saying that the eldest young master was unethical and was arrested by the government. The shopkeeper in the city had already gone to the county government, but the county government refused to accommodate him and let him go."
While the master and servant were talking, Zhu Wanjian got up early and ran into the inner courtyard excitedly.
"Mom, I heard that Tai Sui, the eldest son, is causing trouble? I've asked you to keep an eye on me for a long time. Now you know who in the family is not up to par, right?" Zhu Wanjian came here to watch the fun.
Zhu Jiashi glared at her son and wanted to say, neither of you uncles and nephews are good.
But when the words came to her lips, she still held back. Why did her eldest grandson, who was also doted on by heaven, cause trouble this time? What does it have to do with this son? It is more important to get him out first.
"You go... well, I'll go in person, call the groom, and ask a few people to accompany me to the county government office... Brother, you'll go with me too! Let you see how I talk to the local magistrate!"
…
…
Zhu Jia went to the city in person to ask for people.
Even Su Xigui had to sell her face before, let alone this time she was just a judge of the county?
In addition, Jing Zhongkuan did not give face to the Zhu family and repeatedly hindered the transfer of Zhu Niang's land and house. Although it was Zhu Wanjian who went there at that time, the hatred had been forged. Zhu Jia did not show up easily due to her status. This time she wanted to
The new and old accounts will be settled together.
The county government heard that Zhu Mingshan's first wife, Zhu Mingshan, a member of the Jinyiwei Qianhu family, was here, so it was considered a favor.
Even if Jing Zhongkuan did not go out to greet him personally, he would have asked Song County Magistrate to do it for him.
"Old lady, what are you..."
Songxian Cheng had a headache when he saw Zhu Jia's family.
The last time the smuggling of salt was investigated, Shen Li was "promoted", but he, the Song County Magistrate, had no place to move the trap. He was worried about it for more than half a year. He only stopped with the promise of someone sent by Su Xigui. By then, he had seen Zhu Jia's methods.
Zhu Jiashi said: "I have come here to ask for an audience with the local magistrate of the capital. I would like to trouble you to pass the message."
"Okay, okay, the magistrate of Jing is having a reception. He will come to see you as soon as the reception is over. Madam, please come here." Song County Magistrate invited Zhu Jia to the flower hall where the county government received guests, and asked her to sit down.
Tea reception.
The Magistrate of Song County tried to solve the problem by making insinuations, but Zhu Jia didn't even say a word to him, which seemed to mean that if the county magistrate didn't come, there would be no need to discuss today's matter.
Song County Magistrate felt helpless.
I have seen difficult country squires, but I have never seen such a difficult old lady.
finally.
Jing Zhongkuan arrived late, and when he saw Mr. Zhu Jia, he was all smiles: "Isn't this Mrs. Zhu? I've admired you for a long time, I've admired you for a long time... Mr. Zhu, we seem to have met before, haha."
Ignoring the murderous looks of the Zhu family, I looked over with smiles all over my face.
The Prime Minister of Song County wanted to come over and explain to Jing Zhongkuan what had just happened, and to remind Jing Zhongkuan to be careful of the old lady of the Zhu family, but Jing Zhongkuan just waved his hand and asked the Prime Minister of Song County to step aside and wait.
"Old madam, if you have anything to say, just say it."
When Jing Zhongkuan sat down, his face turned cold and he actually put on airs.
The huge contrast between before and after made Zhu Jiashi puzzled.
Is this due to lack of etiquette? Or do you not understand the rules? Do you dare to show your face to me at this time?
Butler Liu was very knowledgeable and stood behind Zhu Jia: "My eldest young master..."
"Your eldest son? He was the one who made trouble on the stage yesterday and was kicked off the stage. In the evening, he made trouble again in the Jiaofangsi. He got into a fight and hurt people. He was hungover late at night and was disheveled and immoral on the street. You are really Zhu.
A descendant of the family?
"No way. The Zhu family is a dignified Jinyiwei family. It produces famous scholars and is considered a scholarly family. How could they teach their descendants to be so disdainful?"
When Jing Zhongkuan said this, he was not polite at all, and it was as unpleasant as possible.
Zhu Jiashi couldn't stand listening anymore and slapped the table: "Jingzhi County, what do you mean by this?"
He stood up angrily and glared at each other.
When Song County Magistrate saw this situation, he quickly came up to smooth things over: "Old madam, calm down."
The Prime Minister of Song County was afraid that Jing Zhongkuan would quarrel with the old lady if they disagreed. Even though the family was just a martial arts family, the old lady's husband was a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, which was fundamentally different from the ordinary Qianhu in Qianhu.
Those were the family members of the emperor's close ministers.
Jing Zhongkuan was not upset, as if being angry was a very embarrassing thing for him, and he looked calm: "He caused a big disturbance yesterday, and I did not take him to the government for punishment. This is enough to give the Zhu family face."
!
"Today he behaved immorally. I sent someone to put clothes on him and take him to the Yamen to try to eliminate the negative impact as much as possible. So... I am just meddling in other people's business?"
