Peng Youqin's handsome face could no longer be darkened, and he stared at the instigator in the hall with hatred.
When did he say such a thing?
However, Yan Yue's eyes were as charming as silk, and her lips curved up and she smiled softly: "Have you forgotten, your lord, at last year's annual meeting, your lord gathered all the merchants in the city to admonish us, and Yan Yue never dares to forget it."
Peng Youqin: "..."
Angry.
Well, it seems that there is such a thing. I use too much official talk and I forget it.
hateful! This woman was so cunning that she didn't explain the matter in advance, which caused him to be suspected. It was hateful and irritating!
Look at the man standing outside the door, yes, that's the rude guy behind the dwarf. What does it mean to look at him with the look of someone who has come before?
Don't hold me back, I'm going to beat her to death.
Yan Yue's eyes darkened again, and she cried again: "But now that we have been bullied by this person, you must make the decision for us, otherwise these people will follow suit in the future, and I will still be able to do this business." ”
Peng Youqin was shocked! Once upon a time, this scene was so familiar. I slammed the gavel tree in my hand and shouted angrily: "Bold Chen Rongzu, you have fame but don't want to make progress. You sleep in a prostitute. How can you live up to the teachings of Saint Kong and your mentor?" Teaching. He is also unethical and dishonest. He takes advantage of his fame and status to force himself to do something, which is unethical and unethical."
Peng Youqin was also extremely angry. He was a scholar with a good reputation, and he was in the right place at the right time and with the right people. He only had to wait for the court's three-year Enke examination to rise to the top, but he was so miserable.
Adou who couldn't help him.
If you want to visit a brothel, just visit it! Is there any man who hasn't had one or two romantic affairs in private, but you are the worst? It's become known all over the city that you don't give money to girls when you sleep with them, so you don't want this face anymore.
Their scholars were all disgraced.
Although Chen Rongzu had a marriage contract with Huang Jiaoyu's daughter, Peng Youqin's impression of this libertine was extremely bad at this moment. He first broke off the engagement and ruined the girl's reputation, and then used his power to extort huge sums of money. Now he is causing trouble again. Staying overnight in a brothel is not for prostitutes.
Scumbag, villain.
His Pingcheng has almost become this scumbag's stage.
"Sir, the student is really wronged!" Chen Rongzu could only shout loudly that he was wronged, and his whole body lying on the ground was trembling with fear.
"Unjust? It was your servant who helped you through the door last night, specifying that you want me to serve you as you wish. Everyone saw it with your own eyes..." Yan Yue shouted, squeezing the hand with the veil. He randomly ordered his troops among the crowd standing outside, and the bright red Danko flashed in the air, eye-catching.
She didn't just give random instructions, she actually responded a few times.
"Yes! He was the one who made it clear that he wanted Miss Ruyi. I saw it with my own eyes." A man in the crowd responded with a smile and a joking tone.
"Yes, I saw it too." Echoed +1
"..."
Four or five men nodded in agreement, the crowd pointed, and for a while the court became a noisy mess.
Chen Rongzu's face turned pale and his body was shaking like chaff. At this time, he still didn't understand that he was being tricked by others. He didn't have any servants to follow him at all, and where did the servants come from to help him enter Chunfeng Tower? It's a pity that he had been tricked last night He was as drunk as a dead pig and had no memory at all, so he couldn't defend himself.
What's even more frightening is that everyone thinks that the boy is his.
"Boom! Boom!" The sound of drumming came from outside the gate, causing the noisy courtroom like a vegetable market to instantly become quiet.
Someone else comes to beat the drum and complain about injustice?
Many people looked interested, it was really lively today.
Not long after, a boy of 17 or 18 years old was brought in. The boy had a tall and straight figure, handsome features, and a calm temperament. He was dressed in old clothes that had been washed white and shiny, but were extremely clean and smooth, making people look comfortable.
Well, it's much more comfortable than kneeling with this oily boy.
The young man walked very slowly and painfully. For a short distance, he was sweating on his forehead. Only when he got closer did everyone realize that he was lame.
well! Pity.
"Who is here? What's the grievance?" Peng Youqin asked in a deep voice, feeling inexplicably irritated in his heart. What happened today? In the past three or five days, no one drummed to express grievances, but today they came one after another.
He just wanted to settle Chen Rongzu's case early so that Yan Yue could be sent away. This woman would be a disaster if she stayed here.
"My lord, my student Xia Zhiyan is here to sue Huang Jiaoyu, a senior scholar in the government, for defrauding me of breaking off my engagement and extorting my money. Secondly, I am suing the daughter of the Huang family for being unruly and unfaithful. She was engaged to a student but secretly married someone else. , please let the adults make the decision for the students.”
As soon as the young man Xia Zhi said this, the whole hall fell silent.
The gavel in Peng Youqin's hand finally fell to the ground. Yan Yue, the proprietress of Chunfeng Tower, stopped crying. Chen Rongzu forgot to tremble, and everyone watching the excitement outside opened their mouths.
The amount of information is indeed too great.
After a brief period of calm, there was a shocking sound of discussion.
Teach Yu to cheat money? Thousand gold pearls have dark knots?
Peng Youqin picked up the gavel as if nothing had happened, and tried his best to keep his face calm. Little did he know that underneath his calm face, there was also a heart that loved gossip.
He knew that this Xia Zhiyan had a marriage contract with the Huang family, but unfortunately his leg was broken, and he was a short-lived figure.
"Quiet!" Peng Youqin threw the gavel so loudly that the bustling vegetable market fell silent, and then continued: "Come on! Tell the Huang Jiaoyu and the daughter of the Huang family, what grievances do you have, come quickly."
If you have any grievances, speak up immediately and we will seek justice for you.
While Xia Zhiyan was recounting his grievances, Xiao Ming's carriage had already returned to Liujiacun.
Mother Yi stopped when she saw a carriage approaching the Xiao family compound in the distance. She was thinking about which family member was coming at this time. However, she was shocked when she saw Xiao Ming getting off the horse and hurriedly He went up to him and helped Xiao Ming get out of the carriage with both hands.
"Girl, why are you back at this time? Why didn't you let Yi Feng pick you up?" Yi's mother asked. If she came back at this hour, she might start her journey before dawn.
"But what's the matter?" Mother Yi carefully observed Xiao Ming's expression and glanced at the carriage to confirm that Jiang Xiangyuan was not there. She couldn't help but wonder what made the girl so anxious.
"Where's Yu'er?" Xiao Ming asked, her tone a little impatient. She really couldn't wait for Yi Feng to ask the Jiang family to send a carriage to take her back.
"Going to Qingshanyuan."
"I'm going to see him. He hasn't been seen for many days. I miss him so much." Xiao Ming said, handing the medicine box to Yi's mother naturally, without entering the gate, and went directly to Qingshan Courtyard.
"Girl..." Mother Yi, who took the medicine box, looked at Xiao Ming's retreating back, stretched out her hand and then retracted it.
In Qingshan Courtyard, the sound of reading loudly could be heard slowly, and several children practicing martial arts were shouting and punching in the martial arts training ground. Xiao Ming strode forward to the classroom where Xiao Yu was. Since Mr. Wu left, Xiao Yu had transferred to the school to attend classes with An Zi Tiezhu and the others.
When she saw Xiao Yu, who was shaking his head while reading, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, and stood blankly outside the window for a while before heading back home.
Mother Yi was waiting for Xiao Ming at the gate, obviously she had something to report.
"What's going on at home these days when I'm not here?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Yes, Dr. Min sent a letter back last night. It seems there is something urgent and he is waiting at home." Mother Yi said, handing a thick letter to Xiao Ming.
"Yes." Xiao Ming took it and glanced at the front which said Xiao Ming had married four children, but the back was sealed with cinnabar. Xiao Ming didn't say anything, just asked: "Is there anything strange in the eight villages in Shili and Ba recently? ?Like drowning, accidents, etc.”
Mother Yi closed her eyes when she heard the words. She finally understood why the girl was so eager to go home. After thinking about it, she said: "A few days ago, I heard Aunt Ming talk about a child missing in Xiahe Village. What is the specific reason? I didn’t say no.”
When Xiao Ming heard this, she stopped, and her hand that held the letter tightened, her knuckles turning white, "How old is the child?"
"Aunt Ming didn't say anything about it," Yi's mother replied, feeling a little strange about what happened to the girl. It was just that there was a rumor that she had lost a child. No one noticed how old she was, even Aunt Ming didn't know.
"Ask Aunt Ming to come to the study." Xiao Ming said and entered the study. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Good Doctor", follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find close friends~
