"Who dares to yell in front of the Zheng Mansion?" Not long after Du Junchuo's shout came out, someone shouted angrily at the corner gate of the Zheng Mansion.
"Steward Zheng!" When the gatekeeper saw the visitor, he hurriedly bowed and saluted and shouted, the person coming was Zheng Jin, the steward of the Zheng Mansion.
Zheng Jin, who is close to fifty years old, used to be Zheng Shanguo's schoolboy. As Zheng Shanguo rose through the ranks, Zheng Jin naturally became a close person of Zheng Shanguo and became the housekeeper of Zheng Mansion.
It is said that there are three officials in front of the prime minister, not to mention the steward of the Shangshu Mansion. Although he does not hold any official position, he still wanted to shake off his majesty when he came out of the corner gate, followed by several tall and thick men. Servant.
When Zheng Jin came out of the corner door, he saw Du Junchuo standing in front of the Zheng Mansion and Su Dingfang standing at the foot of the steps.
Zheng Jin squinted his eyes and looked up and down Du Junchuo and Su Dingfang, "Who are you? Do you know where this place is? How dare you shout in front of the Shangshu Mansion! How unbecoming! And you are shouting like that?" What are you talking about!" Zheng Jin looked at Du Junchuo and Su Dingfang with a gloomy expression.
The few big and thick servants behind Zheng Jin were rolling up their arms and sleeves and looking at Du Junchuo and Su Dingfang. They were obviously just waiting for Zheng Jin's order and were ready to come and take them.
"Who are you?" Du Junchuo asked directly as he looked at the thin and dry old man with a goatee standing in front of him.
Is Du Junchuo an unreasonable person? Obviously not, but since Lu Chen asked him and Su Dingfang to come here to be beaten, the two of them discussed it on the way. When they came here, they had to be more arrogant and domineering, and then let the other party chase them and beat them up. Then the two brothers You can go back and resume your life.
"I am Zheng Jin, the steward of Shangshu Mansion!" Zheng Jin did not expect Du Junchuo to be so rude. However, in order to protect the appearance of Shangshu Mansion, not to mention that there were many people peering in here, Zheng Jin still had patience. He replied to Du Junchuo with a gloomy face.
"Oh~!" Du Junchuo looked at Zheng Jin and let out a long voice, "You can't make the decision in this matter, you should go back and let the people who can make the decision come out!" Du Junchuo waved his hand directly to Zheng Jin, and said very He said disdainfully.
Du Junchuo's behavior really made Zheng Jin's nose crooked with anger. In the entire Shangshu Mansion, except for members of the Zheng family, he had the most power. Sometimes, Zheng Shanguo would even ask him for some advice, and the result was unexpected Zheng Jin couldn't stand being looked down upon by the doll in front of him.
"Where are these madmen from? Come on, drive them away!" Zheng Jin waved his hand, and the few servants following him rushed towards Du Junchuo.
"Wait!" Just when several servants were about to attack Du Junchuo, Su Dingfang, who had been standing aside, shouted loudly.
Su Dingfang's sudden voice startled Zheng Jin and others. Suddenly everyone looked at Su Dingfang with doubtful eyes, not knowing what this guy was going to say.
"Do you know who we are? Do you dare to attack the two of us?" Su Dingfang also had an expression of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction on his face at this time. He stepped up the steps and looked at Zheng Jin and asked.
Zheng Jin was stunned by Su Dingfang's sudden rhetorical question. Zheng Jin was so stimulated by Du Junchuo just now that he directly ordered his servants to take action. Now that he thought about it, he suddenly felt that he had indeed been negligent, and then he began to suspiciously start again. They looked at Su Dingfang and Du Junchuo.
As the steward of the Shangshu Mansion, Zheng Jin has naturally seen and heard of Bu Bu who dares to be so arrogant. The person in their house should also be a very powerful person, otherwise just these two Bu Bu would dare to show up in front of the Shangshu Mansion. Yelling?
"Who are you?" Zheng Jin thought for a while with a sullen face, then asked Du Junchuo and Su Dingfang in a deep voice.
"We are here to collect the debt for my lord! Your Zheng Shangshu owes my lord the debt and has not paid! It is only right to pay back the debt! What? Is the huge Shangshu Mansion planning to default on the debt?" Su Dingfang said condescendingly. Looking at Zheng Jin, he sneered and asked.
"Did you hear that? Zheng Shangshu is in debt outside!"
"Nonsense! I heard that Zheng Shangshu owes a huge gambling debt!"
"Don't talk nonsense. I heard from my third aunt's son's sixth aunt's fifth uncle's child that it was said that the last time Zheng Shangshu went to Pingkangfang, he didn't pay, and then someone came to make trouble!"
"I didn't expect it! I have always heard that Zheng Shangshu is an upright official, but I never thought that he would do such a thing!"
"Then you see, you know people but don't know their hearts! Besides, these literati say that going to Pingkangfang is an elegant thing. Reciting poems and painting in places like that is a unique experience!"
Du Junchuo and Su Dingfang were making such a fuss in front of Zheng Shanguo's Shangshu Mansion. What's more, it was still broad daylight. Zheng Shanguo lived here, but there were many other official mansions. These servants passing by heard Du Jun Chuo said he was here to collect debts, and they immediately started talking curiously.
Hearing these nonsensical comments, Zheng Jin's face almost turned green with anger. His master has not come back from the previous court. If he came back, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood if he heard about this. Zheng Shanguo was deeply taught by his mother, and for Officials are clean and upright, and they are being talked about like this now, and these people are also servants in the officials' mansions. It is estimated that within half a day, these rumors about Zheng Shanguo will be spread throughout the world.
Zheng Jin was upset, but Du Junchuo and Su Dingfang were overjoyed. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain. Their father-in-law said that this matter should be bigger, but these two heard those If you discuss it, you will know that this matter is definitely not a big deal.
"Nonsense! Our Zheng family has a huge business, how can we be in debt?" Zheng Jin shouted angrily, "Besides, who is your master? How could my master be in debt to your master! If this matter is not made clear, today None of you can leave! Capture these two people and bring them to the mansion to investigate!" Zheng Jin waved his hand and shouted angrily.
Zheng Jin also understood that he could no longer let these two people make such a fuss in front of the house. Now they were being talked about so seriously. If the fuss continued, there was no telling what these people would talk about!
Du Junchuo and Su Dingfang were not afraid or resisted, and allowed the servants to escort them to the Zheng Mansion. Of course, these servants did not dare to punch or kick them directly. After all, We haven't figured out which family they belong to. If they belong to a certain prince's family and are injured by them, although the Zheng family will not be afraid of a prince, more disputes will come out out of thin air. This will The Lord Shangshu of my family is not happy, not to mention that when the time comes, it is likely that they will be pushed out to take the blame.
Although they were servants, they were not stupid. The master didn't even say anything about taking action. They did it secretly just to find fault.
However, pushing and shoving are definitely inevitable. The two of them were pushed and pushed into the corner door by the group of servants. The onlookers found that there was no excitement and naturally dispersed. As for how they would spread the news , Zheng Shangshu can only hope for more blessings.
"Who is your master? He actually sent you two to act like this!" After being pushed into a wing room, Zheng Jin sat in the middle and looked at Du Junchuo and Su Dingfang who were standing opposite him. The servants stood guard around the two of them, fearing that Du Junchuo and the two would suddenly get violent and hurt their housekeeper.
"My lord is naturally my lord. You are not worthy of knowing my lord's name!" Su Dingfang glanced at Zheng Jin with disdain and snorted coldly.
"You!" Seeing Su Dingfang's disdainful expression, Zheng Jin slapped the table. As the steward of the Zheng Mansion, the fourth and fifth grade officials outside were all polite to him when they saw him. He never thought that he would be treated politely by the two people in front of him. Bu Qu was underestimated, and Zheng Jin felt that his heart was so angry at these two people.
"Old man, you'd better find someone you can talk to! Look, you don't dare to hit us, and you don't dare to let us go! Why bother?" Seeing that Su Dingfang was so angry that his goatee was twitching. Zheng Jin, Du Junchuo directly spoke to the side in a comforting tone to finish the attack.
"Okay! Very good!" Zheng Jin, who was a little annoyed by these two people, laughed angrily, "Since you are unwilling to tell me, then I really want to see who your master is! I If you still don’t believe it, lock you two up and your adults won’t come to the door?” Zheng Jin looked at Su Dingfang and Su Dingfang with a sneer and said.
"Lock them to the woodshed in the side yard!" Zheng Jin gave the order, and several servants came over and surrounded the two of them.
Su Dingfang and Du Junchuo looked at each other, smiled contemptuously at Zheng Jin, turned around, and were pushed out by several servants.
"Even the King of Qin has to give me Zheng Mansion some face. I want to see whose tribe you are!" Zheng Jin looked at the figures of Su Dingfang and Du Junchuo being pushed, snorted coldly, and said directly Flushing his robe sleeves, he stood up and left the side room.
"Brother Su, do you think the father-in-law will come to rescue us? Obviously we have failed in this matter!" Du Junchuo, who was locked up in the woodshed, looked at Su Dingfang with a grimace and asked, after all, Lu The task Chen gave them was to get them beaten up and then return to Lujiazhuang. But Zheng Jin, the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion, didn't follow the routine and just locked them in the woodshed and then ignored them. !
"According to Brother Yu's understanding of the father-in-law, if the father-in-law knew that we were imprisoned, he would come to rescue us! The key problem now is that no one reported the news to the father-in-law! Hey!" Du Junchuo heard When asked, Su Dingfang also sighed and said, in fact, Su Dingfang did not expect that they both behaved so arrogantly. The housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion could actually hold back and not take action. According to their understanding, seeing such an arrogant person in his own house Didn’t the noisy people in front of the mansion have their servants beat them away with sticks long ago?
