After the death of Zhao Qin, a close friend, the Qingliu people also stopped for a while, so Fu Rong could be said to be living a comfortable life, but he never expected that what he had planned so well would suddenly happen
Such an incident happened. Rumors spread from Taiping to Qiwang Street and Sanshan Street, and spread throughout Xicheng of Nancheng. It was just for the common people, but you must know that many of the officials who really do things live here.
I don’t know where it is nearby?
"Father-in-law, I went to check and it was the people in Xu's family room who first spread the news. They probably didn't really know about it, but they were deliberately trying to ruin Xu Xun's reputation to vent their anger."
In the room, Chen Lu, who had always been cold-faced, felt a little uncomfortable when he said this. As he spoke, he apologized: "It's all my negligence. I think I just wanted to save some face for the Xu family in Taiping, so that Xu Xun wouldn't fall behind."
There is a reputation for retribution, so the mother and son in the Xu parents' room, one of whom committed murder and the other set fire, were actually given lenient sentences. They only made them lose money and get slapped. If I had known this, they should have been completely silenced."
"What's the use of talking about this now!"
Fu Rong snorted coldly and sat down, but Mengang's angry look had disappeared. He thoughtfully picked up the pair of warm jade balls on the table and slowly turned them in his palms. After a while, he said: "
Forget it, it's not all useless to make a fuss. If Xu Bian is still alive, he won't be able to hide it at this time. Didn't Xu Xun not believe it at first? In this way, all kinds of witnesses
It wouldn't be unexpected at all when it comes out. It's just the right time for Xu Xun's family to have an ether show. Our family was still worried about not being able to find a scapegoat, but they are ready! When the time comes, our family will come forward to handle the matter of Xu Xun's recognition of his biological father.
Wei Guogong Cheng Guogong Lao Zheng, as well as Zhang Mao and other Qingliu people have also been invited here, so there are fewer hidden dangers than before."
"My father-in-law is wise, why didn't I think of this?"
"Stop flattering us to make our family happy. You'd be surprised if you didn't expect it! Our family is just angry at being tricked by such a cat and a dog, and we feel unhappy!" Fu Rong has always treated Chen Lu as a nephew and nephew, and often shows no signs of indifference in front of him.
Unabashedly showing his true temperament, he laughed and cursed, and when he saw Chen Lu talking to San Ran, he curled his lips in disgust, "Our family doesn't want to see that family jumping around on the ground in Jinling again. Wait until this incident is over."
After that, clean up their nest of snakes and rats for our family!"
"Yes, father-in-law, don't worry!"
That day, because Huitong took the initiative to ask for help, Xu Xun also wanted to see the true skills of this old Western factory expert, so he simply put down his hands and let him toss around him. With all the uproar, he just felt that this monk acted in the same mold as himself.
As if fearing that the matter was not big enough, there were sets of rumors that were contradictory, some that were consistent with each other, some that spoke for him, and some that threw dirt on him. The various versions were dazzling.
, coupled with the rumors spread by good people in the market, if you ask anyone at random in the west city of Nancheng, nine out of ten will tell you something about the father-son turmoil in the Xu family in Taiping. Even Lu Li, Fu Rong's most strict guard eunuch
, most of the servants looked weird when they saw him, and their eyes flickered.
The last time Fu Rong took Xu Liang and Xu Xun home, he only said that he was repaying his son's lifesaver. When he asked his confidants to teach the two people etiquette, he also arranged for Xu Liang'an to be a gardener to confuse the public, while Xu Xun arranged for him to be a gardener.
In that Tibetan building.
Therefore, with the current turmoil, few people must whisper in the young master's ears.
At this moment, the eldest girl Lu'er was combing Fu Jin's hair and said in her mouth: "Miss, the world is really unpredictable. Mr. Xu Qi is handsome and handsome, and the master is affectionate. How can he be the old man of Xu Liang?"
The gardener’s son?”
"Nothing is impossible in this world." Fu Jin frowned displeasedly. Seeing Lu'er sticking out her tongue and becoming silent, she calmly ordered, "Besides, after the groundless things,
Don't spread rumors, otherwise if dad blames you, you will suffer a lot."
Lu'er has always been the most favored girl around Fu Jin. Although she was scolded, she didn't know where she got the courage now. She went around to the other side and whispered in a low voice: "But Miss, it's like this
That's fine. The master appreciates Mr. Xu Qi a little too much and actually keeps him at home. Before, the servants said that the master regarded him as a son-in-law who would ride a dragon. Now that this matter comes out, the master will not
Making fun of your life-long event..."
Before he finished speaking, there was just a clanging sound, and it was Fu Jin who smashed the pearl hairpin in his hand, and the round pearls of all sizes rolled all over the floor. Lu'er was stunned when she saw Fu Jin standing up suddenly.
Staring at her angrily, it took him a while to wake up, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy. However, Fu Jin, who was always pleasant to people, didn't even look at her at all, and directly called the mother in charge, and said nothing.
Ordered the person to be dragged down.
Although Fu Jin is an adopted daughter, she has been raised by the Huang family since she was brought into the eunuch's house. Her adoptive father dotes on her elder brother and loves her. She has an innocent face, but she is very smart and has a very high self-esteem. From Lu'er's mouth, she learned about the family members.
People actually chewed such tongues in private. After she ordered her mother to drag him away, she immediately went to her adoptive mother, turned away and hugged Huang's knees and cried a lot. For a while, Huang also felt the same.
Furious, he immediately ordered Lu'er to be sold far away, and he also issued an order not to discuss Xu Xun's affairs anymore, and Lu'er would be punished if he violated it. After this rectification, the house was completely silent for a while, but when Fu Rong turned around and listened,
After saying this, although he was furious that those unscrupulous slaves dared to spread such words, he couldn't help but sigh in the end.
"It's hard to break down, but to be so aggressive after hearing these gossips, this girl... is too arrogant."
Although Xu Xun didn't know about such a small turmoil, when the people of the Fu family saw that he had changed from following him at first to avoiding snakes and scorpions now, he couldn't help but notice it. Fu Rong was as usual, summoning him to talk about the capital every now and then.
The local customs, geography, people's sophistication, various wealthy families, etc., but in the past, they would occasionally joke about their daughter Fu Jin, but in the past few days, they have not mentioned it at all. Faced with such changes, Xu Xun felt relieved, and his whole body
Even walking becomes much easier.
This street rumor spread in the blink of an eye for more than half a month, and gradually it became more and more serious. So, Wei Guogong Xu, who had been dismissive of it earlier, couldn't calm down and went to Fu Rong's house in person to have a long talk, followed closely.
Zheng Qiang came uninvited. Zhang Mao, who was offering wine at the Imperial Academy, asked Fu Hengan to bring it to Xu Xun. The letter was groundless and there must be a reason, so he was asked to thank the guests behind closed doors and study hard. Yin Wuxiong, Yingtian Prefecture who was ill in bed, asked him to
Xu You took Xu Xun to see him once, and taught him that it is important to trace the source of rumors, but rumors only stop at the wise, and so on.
Just when such an incident was about to be known to the whole city, Xu Jin, who was resentful because of the beating he received in the eldest house of the Xu family in Taiping, actually ordered someone to make another concession.
The servants in Nanjing were all dumbfounded. Early that morning, before the sore had healed, he was carried to the gate of Yingtianfu Yamen, and the standing drum was beaten again. It took less than an hour.
, all the big bosses on the ground in Jinling got the news.
"This crazy bitch actually dared to dig the grave of Xu Liang's son!"
Not to mention that Fu Rong was shocked, even when he heard the news, he was still under the scale. Seeing Xu Liang, he learned that Xu Jin complained in the Yamen that the thin coffin in his son's grave was empty, which clearly shows that he had sent his son away.
Gave it to Xu Bian, deliberately confusing the Xu family's bloodline, and immediately went from dull to furious, and then rushed out like a gust of wind. Xu Xun didn't care about anything else..." He hurriedly chased after him. However, Xu Liang rushed to the stable and untied a horse directly.
The horse didn't even use the saddle and bridle. He cut a rope and rode out. He had just learned how to ride a horse slowly and could only be disappointed and could only wait for the groom in the stable to prepare another one for him.
horse.
However, he did not go straight to Yingtianfu Yamen. Instead, he went out of Changfu Street and went around in a circle. He went to Liren Street and directly found Huitong. Seeing the monk, he was also shocked at first, and then he expressed his anger to the crowd.
He was definitely not the one who instigated the incident. He understood that the monk was friends with Xu Lianglao after all, and he definitely would not secretly instruct Xu Jin to do this in order to establish the truth, so he turned around and headed straight for Yingtian Mansion without having time to say more.
As a result, as soon as he got off his horse at the door, he learned that Xu Liang had just rushed into the execution hall and slapped Xu Jin unconscious.
"This Xu Daer...".
Muttering these four words in his mouth, Xu Xun could understand Xu Liang's impulse in his heart. If anyone dared to dig his parents' graves back then, he would have beaten the person into a pig's head without saying anything. So, in
The officer walked down to the execution hall and saw that Officer Shen behind the case had a rigid face, while Xu Liang was being restrained by three or four officers. As for Xu Jin, who was carrying a stretcher on the side, he was clearly unaware of his personnel.
He hurriedly apologized and said a few nice words. Fortunately, Judge Shen was only annoyed with Xu Liang for trespassing in the court, but he also hated Xu Jin's unscrupulous tactics, so he just scolded Xu Liang a few words and stopped pursuing it, but ordered the unconscious person to be taken away.
Xu Jin was imprisoned for the crime of laying a tomb, and all the servants who carried Xu Jin were driven out of Yingtian Mansion.
When things got so bad, all parties were in an uproar, and the Xu family's eldest house in Taiping was in a mess. Among the boys who followed Xu Jin to Yingtianfu Yamen, only one came home to report the news, and the rest ran away. Mr. Xu learned that
After that, he simply fell down and fainted. After the servants pinched him and poured cold water on him for a long time, he finally woke up and found out that Mrs. Xu actually went to the Yamen to make a noise. He smiled bitterly and said with difficulty
A sentence burst out: "Send someone to invite the third master of the clan. I want to divorce my wife, and I want to drive that traitor out of the house!"
Whether the elder brother divorced his wife or abandoned his son, Xu Xun, who helped Xu Liang out of Yingtian Mansion Office, had no time to care about it.
Although this incident was Huitong's handiwork, he was the one who started it. Now that he saw Xu Liang's devastated look, he couldn't help but feel deep self-blame.
"Uncle, it's all me...".
"Don't say anything." Xu Liang spat out these words dryly, then stiffly twisted his neck and looked at Xu Xun, "Come with me for a drink."
