Gusaka is nearly sixty years old, but his body is extremely strong. After all, he comes from a wealthy family. He is well-nourished and has never suffered from cold or hunger.
Behind him were two groups of men. The first team was headed by his son Gu Mu, with more than thirty servants. These people were prepared to give Zhou Qingchen a long lesson if they disagreed.
The other group was headed by his daughter-in-law Ma, with six or seven women. Once they can't reach an agreement, these women will take their daughters and leave the Zhou family, completely breaking up with Zhou Qingchen.
Gusaka, holding a cane in his hand, strode to the door of Zhou Qingchen's mansion.
He waved his hand, and a servant immediately ran up and banged on the door.
According to etiquette, when knocking on the door, you should knock three times and pause, and then knock three times and pause. But today is different. Today everyone is here to seek bad luck. Seeing the menacing companion behind him, the servant became more courageous. He held the door knocker in his hand and knocked it loudly, making a series of banging sounds. .
Gu Mu couldn't help but nodded, thinking: This servant is quite clever to get the head start.
Soon, the door of Zhou Mansion opened, and a servant poked his head out angrily, yelling: "Who doesn't have eyesight? Is there anyone who knocks on the door like this?"
Before he finished speaking, the servant who knocked on the door raised his foot and kicked him right in the heart.
The servant of the Zhou Mansion screamed and fell to the ground after being kicked, unable to get up.
Zhou Mu walked forward with satisfaction and patted his servant on the shoulder: "Well done. When you get back, go to the accounting room to collect the reward."
The servant was beaming with joy.
Then, Gusaka waved his hand, and the servants rushed in directly. Some people stepped on the servants of the Zhou Mansion, whether accidentally or intentionally.
The servant was already in terrible pain, but now he was stepped on by a group of people and couldn't even get up.
Gusaka walked slowly to the front yard on crutches and said coldly: "Where is Zhou Qingchen? Taishan came to visit in person, but did not greet him. Have all these poems and etiquette been read into the dog's belly?"
Zhou Qingchen ran out in a panic, feeling extremely aggrieved: You came directly to my house without even having time to announce, how can I greet you? Do I know what to expect?
Zhou Qingchen complained in his heart, but on the surface he bowed respectfully to Gusaka: "Qingchen has met my father-in-law and brother Mu."
Then he said: "I have told my family to prepare a banquet to invite my father-in-law..."
Before he finished speaking, Gusaka waved his hand and said: "There is no need for a banquet. The wine you have here is dirty. The food you have here is smelly. I am afraid that after eating it, I will die."
Zhou Qingchen was a little confused: This...are you here to cause trouble today?
He smiled dryly and said: "The wine is the good wine of Banxian Tower, and the food is the stir-fry made in the iron pot. It is delicious. How can it be dirty and smelly?"
After hearing this, Gusaka became even more angry: "Exalted Immortal Tower? Iron Pot? It seems that the rumors outside are good. You are indeed very close to Huaiguzi. Also, the lackeys under Shangjun's Courtyard must of course stay around. The master is begging for mercy."
The fire in Zhou Qingchen's heart suddenly surged up. But the person standing opposite was his father-in-law after all. He suppressed the anger in his heart and laughed dryly and said: "Emperor-in-law, is there any misunderstanding in this?"
Gusaka paused with his cane: "Misunderstanding? Nowadays in Xianyang City, everyone knows that the banished immortal is shameless and crazy, and everyone avoids him. For example, Wu Yue and others were forced to become his so-called friends, but Aren't you still a noble person behind the scenes? If you get a chance, you should try your best to get away from him."
"But what about you? From the beginning to the end, you have been bragging about him shamelessly. I am surprised, are you really shameless? Or are you already shameless in order to be promoted to a higher position? Wealth cannot be obscene, power cannot be subdued, and poverty cannot be changed. Do you still remember these three sentences?"
Zhou Qingchen said seriously: "My father-in-law, my son-in-law followed the banished immortal not for any promotion, but for the sake of the common people in the world. Since the banished immortal entered Xianyang, has there ever been another problem with cold and cold in Guanzhong?"
"Now the influence of the Banished Immortal has spread from Guanzhong to Guandong. First of all, some people in Han, Zhao and Wei have lived a good life. As time goes by, our Daqin can become the kind of fairyland on earth described by the Banned Immortal."
Gusaka was furious, pointed at Zhou Qingchen with his crutch and said: "Huaiguzi is for the common people of the world? Are you really confused, or are you pretending to be stupid? How many people are complaining in Xianyang City? How many people's wealth has he amassed with Huaiguzi? ?”
Zhou Qingchen said: "My father-in-law, you have to know that the wealth amassed by banishing the immortals is either the powerful people in Xianyang City or the powerful people in Guandong. These people all rely on the power in their hands to plunder and oppress the people. May I ask where the gold and silver in their hands come from? Where did it come from? Who knitted the silk and satin on their bodies?"
"Why do the rich and powerful enjoy themselves every day, but they can have enough food and clothing? But the poor people work hard all year round, but they can't even have enough to eat? Is this fair? The rich and powerful plunder all their money from the people. It’s coming.”
"Now the banished immortals are doing the opposite, collecting their wealth and using it to help the people. To achieve great governance and unity in the world, what a great ideal is this?"
"Confucius said that we should not worry about the few but the inequality. What he did by banishing the immortals was clearly to implement the ideals of the ancient sages. And Qingchen followed the banished immortals for the sake of the sages' books that he had read throughout his life."
Gusaka was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start. So he raised his crutch and hit Zhou Qingchen hard on the head: "How dare you challenge your elders like you?"
After Gusaka smashed him, Gu Mu seemed to get the signal and led his servants to rush forward and beat Zhou Qingchen with punches and kicks.
Seeing this, the servants of Zhou Mansion rushed out to save people. A melee was about to break out between the two sides.
At this time, Mrs. Zhou came out in a hurry and shouted: "Stop, everyone, stop."
The people who were fighting gradually stopped.
Zhou Qingchen straightened his clothes and smiled at Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou felt extremely distressed when she saw his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
She looked at her father and brother angrily: "Why did you beat my husband?"
Gu Mu said: "Little sister, this man spoke rudely and contradicted his father. This is disobedience. It would not be an exaggeration for me to send him to the government to be beheaded. Today I just punished him lightly, which is considered a mercy."
Zhou Qingchen smiled bitterly.
Gusaka looked at Mrs. Zhou and said: "Zhou Qingchen, you have gone astray. I tried to persuade you, but he is stubborn. I think you should go home with me. I will find another good son-in-law for you."
Zhou Qingchen was shocked: "How can a marriage be a trivial matter?"
Mrs. Zhou even cried: "My father is like this, how can I be seen by others?"
Gusaka chuckled: "Do you have a face to see people now? Now that Zhou Qingchen is being reviled, he has not only lost his own face, but also the face of my Gu family."
"As my father brings you back today, others will not laugh at you, but will admire you. Just because it is not Zhou Qingchen who divorced you, but you were disgusted with Zhou Qingchen's behavior and took the initiative to leave him."
"Don't worry, this move will definitely be praised by loyal people. In addition, my father's popular position in Xianyang City will help you find a better marriage."
Mrs. Zhou cried and said, "I won't leave."
Gu Mu next to him was a little angry: "Little sister, are you going to embarrass yourself with Zhou Qingchen? Do you really not know? This person's reputation is already bad."
Mrs. Zhou wiped her tears and said with sobs, "What does his reputation outside have to do with me? As long as he is in harmony with me at home, that's fine."
Gu Mu stamped his feet more and said bitterly: "Zhou Qingchen's bad reputation has affected my Gu family. In this case, how can the important ministers in the court recommend the children of my Gu family?"
The Ma family next to them came over and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Listen to my sister-in-law, now your brother is planning to enter the court and become an official. In fact, with the reputation and status of our Gu family, it is not difficult. But what Zhou Qingchen did, It has made many people hate our Gu family."
"In this case, how can your brother be recommended? Now as long as you leave Zhou Qingchen, those courtiers will naturally get close to our Gu family."
Mrs. Zhou looked at Mr. Ma intently, and after a long time, she said quietly: "It turns out that it's because of the eldest brother's official position. That's why we want to separate our husband and wife."
Mrs. Ma was a little annoyed when Mrs. Zhou exposed her feelings. She flicked her sleeves and said: "Break up your husband and wife? What's so good about you as a husband? You are simply a scum in the officialdom. Do you know how many people in Xianyang City are laughing at you? Do you know that because of your family, I I can’t hold my head high in front of many noble ladies.”
Seeing that Mr. Ma was about to quarrel with Mrs. Zhou. Gu Mu waved his hand and said: "No need to say more, take my little sister and leave immediately."
Ma responded and took the six or seven women with her to forcefully drag Mrs. Zhou away.
Mrs. Zhou struggled endlessly, and finally Gu Mu shouted: "Tie them up."
Mrs. Ma took out the red silk she had prepared, and worked together with several women to tie up Mrs. Zhou and push her towards the carriage, half pushing and half pushing her.
Zhou Qingchen quickly led people to stop him.
If there is any obstruction, there will inevitably be physical conflict. In the end, Gusaka simply stood at the front and shouted: "Who dares to touch me again?"
The people from the Zhou family touched Gusaka, which was disobedient and unfilial, and the relationship between the two families became even more irreparable. But if he doesn't move, Mrs. Zhou will be taken away.
Zhou Qingchen suddenly shouted: "Go and invite the immortal to be banished."
A servant immediately ran out.
Gusaka sneered: "Huai Guzi? I want to take away my daughter. This is a family matter. Can he take care of it? I have long heard that Huai Guzi is arrogant, domineering and shameless. What? He dares to touch me? I am not afraid Once he dies, will he dare to banish him to an immortal? Okay, then I will wait here and see if he can banish an immortal again. At worst, I will die with him."
Gu Mu was a little flustered, so he leaned into Gusaka's ear and whispered: "Father, Huai Guzi has a death-free gold medal on his body."
When Gusaka heard this, his heart suddenly sank. He sneered and said to Zhou Qingchen: "I still have business to do, who is standing here with you wasting time? If the banished immortal comes, if you have the ability, let him ask me for someone. Let's go."
Gusaka waved his hand and led the people towards the gate.
Unfortunately, they had just reached the gate. Two people came in over there. One is Li Shui and the other is Li Xin.
The two of them looked at the messy mansion with curious expressions.
Li Shui asked in confusion: "Zhou Qingchen, what are you doing?"
Li Xin looked at Mrs. Zhou who was tied up and asked curiously: "Are you playing Chu Di's game?"
