It wasn't until this group of people had left that the shops and houses on both sides opened their doors and windows and stuck their heads out. Su Jin secretly sighed in his heart, saying that evil cannot prevail against good. Looking at this situation, this group of people has a strong influence in the hearts of the people.
With their huge shadows, we can't blame them for being timid. I can only say that honest and responsible civilians really can't do anything against these gangsters and ruffians.
Everyone gathered around and talked a lot. Su Jin fed Zhu Lezi to eat donkey dung and cow dung. Everyone saw it and felt very relieved, but at the same time they were secretly worried about this little official.
"This little official, please speak here." An old man raised his hand and said to Su Jin.
Su Jin followed him to the side and saluted, "What do you want me to tell you?"
The old man said: "When a young official encounters injustice on the road, he is really a good man. The young man admires him very much."
Su Jindao: "I took action when I saw that they were bullying others too much. So many people beat old Chiang Kai-shek, and everyone was beaten like that. This is too arrogant."
The old man nodded and said: "What the official said is true. If I ask, the official is not a native of Yingtian Mansion."
Su Jin said: "I am from Xialuzhou Prefecture and come to Yingtian Academy to study."
The old man exclaimed: "No wonder, no wonder."
Su Jin heard something in his words and said: "My father-in-law, please make it clear if you have something to say. Do you disagree with what Shicai did? Do these people still need to be polite to him?"
The old man hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "What are you talking about? The little official came to the rescue. The little old man and the villagers all admired him very much, but they also felt bad in their hearts. We admire the little official very much; it's just me.
I'm worried about the safety of the junior officials, hey!"
Su Jin frowned and said, "Did I say that these people will come back to cause trouble?"
The old man said with a sad face: "The little officials don't know something. The name of the gangster who is leading the way is Zhu Lezi. He is a bully in the south city of Yingtian Mansion. Who dares to mess with him in every household in the south city? It's not because of what he does, but because there are people behind him."
Support him, it is common for him to hit and hurt people in Nancheng, the government will turn a blind eye, and ordinary people who dare to mess with him will not get into trouble."
Su Jin nodded secretly, just as he thought, this kind of gangster dared to be so arrogant and domineering, it must have been tacitly approved by the government, or the government simply ignored the matter, and even colluded with each other, and this kind of gangster
There must be a supportive person behind him, maybe not a big one, but at least he is well-off in Yingtianfu. It seems that this matter will not end here.
But Su Jin had no time to think about this. Seeing that Lao Jiang was almost beaten to death, even if he made up his mind to stop meddling in other people's business and study hard, he had to rescue him. As for the consequences, he didn't think much about it.
"Don't worry, old man. We are responsible for everything about this matter. If they come back to make trouble, I won't be afraid of them. If the government comes to ask, please all the fellow villagers to bear witness."
The old man said with a gray face: "Do you want to testify? I don't dare to do that. The young man doesn't dare to wade into this muddy water. It's better for the young official to leave early. Don't wait for them to come to your door, but you won't be able to get away with it."
Already..."
Before he finished speaking, a woman next to him pulled up her sleeves with blank eyes and left. The woman even murmured: "You old fool, what are you doing here? You want to harm our family."
Have you had a few mouthfuls without a stable life? You just can’t control this bad mouth."
The old man's face was full of embarrassment and he staggered as he was pulled. Shang Zi turned around and held up his hands to apologize and said with a smile: "My lord, I'm talking too much. You can just pretend that I didn't say anything. It's better to leave Yingtian Mansion as soon as possible.
"
Su Jin was extremely depressed. It seemed that these people were bullied so hard that they didn't even dare to talk about it behind their backs. This reminded Su Jin to be cautious about this matter.
Su Jin reluctantly walked back to the crowd of onlookers, cupped his hands and said: "Fellow folks, you must have seen the whole process just now. If the government comes to ask questions in the future, I ask all folks to speak up and be witnesses."
It was a good thing that Su Jin didn't say anything. As soon as these words came out, the people who were still sighing around him seemed to have made an agreement and dispersed like birds and beasts. In an instant, they ran away without a trace. They closed the doors and windows one after another, without even sticking their heads out.
Su Jin scratched his head and said nothing, while Xiao Sui'er scolded: "These selfish people don't even dare to testify. Those ruffians in the past bullied them and let's see who will help them."
Huan Niang said softly: "I can't blame them. I think they were bullied so hard. How dare ordinary people offend these gangsters? If they get into trouble, they won't even be able to survive in the future."
Xiao Sui'er scolded herself: "A bunch of cowards."
Su Jin thought for a while and said: "I think it's like this. Bring Brother Jiang to our place and keep him there first. When the doctor comes later, lead him directly to me, lest those people come back to retaliate and get entangled."
We're not afraid, but we can't waste time here, so the shop is closed and resting. It won't be too late to open the door again when Brother Jiang gets well."
Aunt Zhao has been crying for a long time and has lost her mind. Old Jiang's face is as golden as paper and his anger is like a gossamer. She doesn't know if she can be saved. At this moment, the store's affairs are not within her scope of consideration at all. As soon as Su Jin spoke, Aunt Zhao was caught.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, he knelt down and kowtowed to Su Jin. Zhao Hu also knelt down quickly, obviously thanking Su Jin for his rescue and shelter.
Su Jin hurriedly asked someone to pull them up, and he carried Lao Jiang up with the door panel, closed the shop door and headed towards his house.
The doctor's diagnosis was that two of Lao Jiang's ribs were broken, his left leg was also broken, and his internal organs were shaken. The injuries were really serious. The doctor wrote three prescriptions in a row and told everyone to boil the medicine at different times for the patient to take.
, and warned the patient not to get up and move, but to rest in bed for half a year before he could hope to recover from the trauma; as for the injuries to the lungs and heart, it can only be determined by Lao Chiang's fate, and it may be possible to recover with the medicine for desilting and conditioning, but it is just that
Don’t even think about doing any heavy physical work in the future.
Aunt Zhao burst into tears, saying that Lao Jiang was useless in this life, but if the pillar of the family fell down, his life would be difficult in the future. The children in the family were not yet adults, and the days to come would be difficult to endure.
Everyone was also sympathetic, and Xiao Sui'er burst into tears. She had a good relationship with Aunt Zhao. Every time she went to the market, she would drag Aunt Zhao along with her. Aunt Zhao also treated her like a daughter, which made Xiao Sui'er, who had lost the love of her parents since childhood, drag Aunt Zhao along with her.
Sui'er felt quite warm. Seeing that Aunt Zhao's family had suffered a disaster, she naturally felt bad.
Su Jin took out the silk handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Sui'er and said: "Don't cry. If you cry, the Jiang family's sister-in-law will be even more sad. It's a good thing that the Jiang family's brother is not worried about his life. Go and persuade her to stop crying."
"
Xiaosui'er sobbed and said, "How will my aunt and uncle live their lives in the future? Since they can no longer work, what kind of work will the whole family do?"
Su Jin laughed dumbly and said: "What's so difficult about this? Brother Jiang can come to my Su's house after he recovers. Although he can't do heavy work, he can still help sweep the yard and cut flowers and grass. Not to mention Aunt Zhao.
There are very few such capable people in my house, but I don’t know if my brother and sister-in-law are willing to live in Luzhou."
Aunt Zhao stopped her sorrow after hearing this, knelt down in front of Su Jin, and bowed repeatedly: "Su Xiaoguan, my family must have accumulated great virtues in the past life. If I can meet a good person like you in this life, if you can
Take him in, and the entire slave family will tie a grass ring around it to repay the great kindness."
Lao Jiang, who was a little more conscious on the hospital bed, also thanked him vaguely. Xiao Sui'er also burst into tears and smiled. She quickly took Aunt Zhao's hand and said: "Auntie, don't cry anymore. The master has agreed to take me in. From now on, I will take you in."
The future will definitely be much better than now. The first thing now is to cure my uncle's illness. Don't worry about other things."
Su Jin couldn't bear to see such a scene. He felt depressed after staying for a while longer, so he turned around and left the house and came to the yard.
At this time, the sun was sinking into the ground, and the sky and the earth were a vast expanse of blue and white. Su Jin took a long breath, letting the depression in his heart ease a little, and began to seriously think about the consequences of this matter. He originally planned to feel at ease.
You don't care about worldly affairs when you study, but these things always come to your door, which makes you unable to ignore them. If there really is a strong backing behind Zhu Lezi, this matter may be difficult to stop.
In Yingtian Mansion, Su Jin didn't have many friends or acquaintances, and there was no place for discussion. The only person who could discuss it was Yan Biyun. If this matter ends here, forget it. If the other party comes to visit, there must be a countermeasure.
.
The crux of the problem is that I don’t know who is behind the other party’s backstage. I have no way of starting at this moment. I’ll just wait and see what happens before making any calculations.dd
