"Sister Guo'er, my name is Wan Jiabao, and I am Sheng Shi's classmate. Sheng Shi was beaten and locked up." The little scholar said anxiously.
The little scholar who came here was called Wan Jiabao, a student of Tianzi. The great-grandfather of the Wan family once saved the life of Grandpa Taizu, so the royal family gave his family a titular title, so the Wan family became a nobleman. In fact, the strength and status of Wanjia are far inferior to other rich people in the village, that is, the level of status among them, so many rich people are a little jealous and even look down on Wanjia, who relies on the shadow of their ancestors.
Therefore, although Wan Jiabao was a student in the Tianzi Department, his status was looked down upon by the people in the Tianzi Department. He became good friends with the equally honest Sheng Shi, so when Sheng Shi was in trouble, he immediately came to tell Sheng Guoer.
Sheng Guoer was shocked and angry when she heard this. She said angrily: "Take me first! Tieniu, call our male workers and follow me to the countryside to save people!"
Tieniu and Shengshi are die-hard brothers. When they heard that Shengshi was in trouble, they couldn't sit still and immediately shouted: "Sister, I'm going right now!"
Mrs. Shen hurriedly followed and said, "I'll go too!"
Sheng Guoer hurriedly stopped Shen and said, "Mom, you can't go, I'm afraid there will be a war on this trip!"
Shen said angrily: "I am his mother, can I not go?"
Sheng Guoer frowned and said, "Go and call the second uncle and tell him!"
Sheng Yumei hurriedly ran to Xili Room with Cao and woke up Sheng Zhongkan.
When Sheng Zhongkan heard that something had happened to Sheng Shi, he hurried out and said, "Sheng Shi was arrested?"
Sheng Guoer nodded worriedly, and Mrs. Shen cried, "Second brother, you have to make the decision for us!"
Sheng Zhongkan said angrily: "Guo'er, come with me to the countryside, you workers, don't move yet! Brothers and sisters, you just stay at home, what's the point of going there! Yumei, my wife, you stay with your three brothers and sisters!"
Sheng Guoer said to Ma Chunhua: "Go and tell Zhou Rui from the workshop first and ask her to find Jin Jiayu. Ask her to wait for me in the countryside!"
Ma Chunhua nodded and hurried away.
After making arrangements, Sheng Zhongkan jumped on the carriage and went to the countryside with Sheng Guoer, Wan Jiabao and Tieniu.
On the way, Sheng Guoer asked Wan Jiabao what happened to Shengshi.
After Sheng Shi completed the field course with Meng Zhouxing, he was jealous of Zhong Zifan, one of the five major families in the village: Wang, Lin, Hong, Zhong, and Yin, because he knew a lot of dishes, thinking that he had stolen his limelight.
The head of the Zhong family was once the royal cook of the imperial court, and the eldest son of the Zhong family is still the manager of the imperial kitchen. The Zhong family is not only the royal cook, but the eldest daughter of the Zhong family is also the concubine of the harem, and is the concubine favored by the emperor today.
Because of the concubine as a backing, the Zhong family jumped up and became relatives of the emperor. Mr. Zhong didn't like the life in the court and the capital, so he simply took his family back to his hometown of Ping'an Township.
Even in the countryside, officials at the county, prefectural and township levels treated him with great courtesy.
The five major families are the names given by the common people according to the strength and status of several wealthy and powerful families in Ping'an Township.
Over time, even they themselves have acquiesced in the existence of the five major families, and among them, the Zhong family is the most powerful!
That's why Zhong Zipan was so arrogant, he beat up Sheng Shi who had stolen his limelight and locked him up.
"Do Mr. Meng and Mr. Lin know about this?" Sheng Guoer was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, but she calmed down and said, "Does the private school know?"
Wan Jiabao said with a look of embarrassment: "No one knows about this matter. They did it in private. They didn't let me see Shengshi. They said that if it wasn't for the sake of my so-called noble face, they would even deal with it with me." .”
Wan Jiabao's eyes showed an anxious look: "Sister Guo'er, please quickly find a way to save Sheng Shi, these people can do anything!"
I didn’t expect that such a thing existed in ancient times! Sheng Guoer's anger surged.
When Sheng Zhongkan saw Sheng Guoer looking like he wanted revenge, he said, "Guoer, this matter is not easy to handle. The Zhong family's status is influential in the county. They are relatives of the emperor, even if they are If I catch him, he will be released, and by that time, let alone Sheng Shi, even our Sheng family will suffer stronger revenge."
Sheng Guoer looked at Sheng Zhongkan with sharp eyes and said, "Second uncle, if you are scared, I will save you myself. You are scared, and from now on I will die without complaining!"
Sheng Zhongkan was stimulated by these words. He had always been upright, so why did he say such words today? What could he do with revenge? It could cost his life!
But after Sheng Zhongkan thought about it carefully, it still couldn't work. After all, the other Sheng family members were still innocent, so he had to come up with a foolproof plan.
So Sheng Zhongkan said: "Guo'er, I understand how you feel, but we can't act recklessly. We need to think of a complete solution."
Sheng Guoer calmed down and said, "They detained Sheng Shi because they wanted to give Sheng Shi a show of strength. Moreover, they knew that we would not dare to make the matter a big deal, and they might not have known that Jiabao came to report the matter."
Wan Jiabao nodded and said, "That's right. I ran out secretly to report the news."
Sheng Guoer pondered for a long time and then said: "Sometimes it is better to do the opposite than to do the opposite! What they predict may not be accurate!"
Sheng Zhongkan and Wan Jiabao asked strangely: "What do you mean by this?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Okay, then you follow my arrangements. Second uncle, you mobilize the government officials to wait at Zhong's house. Jiabao, you go and inform Mr. Meng Zhouxing and say that I will wait for him at Zhong's house and ask him for me." younger brother!"
Wan Jiabao nodded, and Sheng Zhongkan asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Sheng Guoer smiled slightly and said, "You will know later."
After finishing speaking, Sheng Guoer patted Tieniu on the shoulder and said, "Tieniu, go to Zhong's house!"
Under Wan Jiabao's guidance, the group came to Zhong's house.
Sheng Zhongkan went to the county government to mobilize manpower, and Wan Jiabao went to Hanlin Private School. Standing at the door of Zhong's house, Sheng Guoer said to Tieniu: "You will stand next to me later, showing off your momentum!"
Tieniu puffed up his chest and said, "No problem."
After a while, Sheng Zhongkan and his men were seen standing at the door of Zhong's house holding torches.
Not long after, Meng Zhouxing also arrived.
Meng Zhouxing asked breathlessly: "Miss Sheng, what's wrong?"
Sheng Guoer stared at Meng Zhouxing with sharp eyes and said, "Do you know that my brother has been kidnapped?"
What! Meng Zhouxing frowned: "Why was he kidnapped? Who kidnapped him?"
Sheng Guoer turned her head and stared at the big plaque of the Zhong family and said, "This is the Zhong family!"
After Wan Jiabao explained the matter to Meng Zhouxing in a simple way, Meng Zhouxing's face became very serious. He said, "I will handle this matter. Miss Sheng, please come back!"
Sheng Guoer ignored Meng Zhouxing's words and went straight to the gate of Zhong's house and shouted: "Tieniu, smash it for me!"
Tieniu responded, picked up the big stone pillar next to him and threw it over.
With a bang, a hole was smashed into the door.
Sheng Zhongkan and Meng Zhouxing were both shocked by Sheng Guoer's actions.
The huge noise alarmed the people in the Zhong Mansion. The housekeeper of the Zhong Mansion hurriedly led the people out and shouted angrily: "Who is making trouble!"
But when he saw the blazing torches and a group of people standing outside, the housekeeper of the Zhong Mansion suddenly felt that something was wrong and shouted hurriedly: "Who are you? Don't you know this is the Zhong Mansion?"
Sheng Guoer stepped forward and said, "I know, the one we're looking for is Zhong Mansion!"
The butler stepped forward and asked haughtily: "Who are you?"
Sheng Guoer also looked at him from the corner of her eyes: "You don't deserve to talk to me!"
The housekeeper has never seen anyone talking to him like this. Even the township official (equivalent to the county magistrate) gave the housekeeper a thumbs-down when he saw him. This little girl is so good.
The housekeeper pointed back with his thumb and said, "Where is this place? You stinky little beggar is looking for death!"
Sheng Guoer shouted with a stern face: "Tieniu, slap him twice!"
Tieniu stepped forward, rounded his arms and slapped the guy twice, until the old boy had stars in his eyes.
The noise attracted the head of the Zhong family.
"Who is so presumptuous!" Zhong Dingxin, the head of the Zhong family, asked as he stood at the door with a majestic look.
Sheng Guoer stepped forward and said, "You are an ignorant butler, let me teach you a lesson for Mr. Zhong!"
Zhong Dingxin said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work, girl, but I know how to take care of my own dog, so I don't need anyone else's dog stick!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Master Zhong is indeed powerful, but you have always been upright. There is no guarantee that future generations will ruin your reputation!"
Zhong Dingxin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you say that, girl?"
Sheng Guoer said: "Your young master was instigated by others to oppress good people and kidnap my brother. What crime should he be punished for committing this illegal act of kidnapping and extortion?"
Seeing that all the government officials had arrived, Zhong Dingxin's heart tightened: "Is it possible that my grandson really did something illegal?"
Sheng Zhongkan now understood Sheng Guoer's intention. He knew that the emperor had given strict orders to the Zhong family not to do evil in the countryside, and he also erected an iron edict monument. So I used this excuse to cooperate with Sheng Guoer to make things worse.
Sheng Zhongkan said: "Mr. Zhong, this is Sheng Guo'er, who is also my niece. He has always obeyed the law and abided by the law. I heard that your young master was instigated by others and kidnapped his younger brother. I originally wanted to save him, but I persuaded him not to do so. I said Zhong I have the emperor's orders, and the emperor has ordered the Zhong family not to do evil in the countryside, otherwise they will be severely punished. This iron edict is sitting in the yard!"
Sheng Guoer was delighted when she heard this. This second uncle was really powerful and knew how to cooperate with her.
Therefore, Sheng Guoer said: "Mr. Zhong shouldn't let his son commit murder!"
At this time, more and more people were attracted. In the evening, many people gathered in front of Zhong's house. Everyone learned from Sheng Guo'er that the Zhong family had bullied the countryside, and they all helped Sheng Guo'er to ask for an explanation. .
Zhong Dingxin whispered: "Where is Master Sun?"
The family kept it secret, but Zhong Dingxin understood it and immediately ordered: "Find Zhong Zifan immediately, and do whatever you want to do!"
Sheng Zhongkan said: "If it is true as Sheng Guoer said, Master Zhong was instigated by a traitor, then we will give him a lighter sentence."
Zhong Dingxin thought that they were encircling Wei to save Zhao. Sheng Guoer was very clever, and by making such trouble, it confirmed the fact that his grandson was committing lawlessness.
All we can do now is find a scapegoat.
As expected, the Zhong family was rich and powerful, and soon they brought Zhong Zipan and Sheng Shi back.
Sheng Shi was covered in scars, and Sheng Guoer looked at her younger brother distressedly and asked, "Sheng Shi, are you okay?"
When Sheng Shi saw his sister, he said weakly: "Sister, I'm fine, they, they are too cruel!"
Sheng Guoer said: "Don't worry, sister will help you vent your anger!"
Then, Sheng Guoer asked loudly: "Mr. Zhong, you claim to be upright and selfless, what do you say now?"
Zhong Dingxin couldn't keep his face at this moment and shouted sternly: "Beast, kneel down!"
Zhong Zipan didn't expect that his grandfather would be so angry, and he knelt on the ground like chaff: "Grandpa, grandson, grandson didn't mean it."
Zhong Dingxin asked: "Who instigated you to do such a heinous thing!"
After finishing speaking, Zhong Dingxin glanced at the butler. Zhong Zipan understood the idea and pointed at the butler and said loudly: "Butler Qiu asked me to do this. He said he looked down on Sheng Shi and wanted me to teach him a lesson!"
Butler Qiu suddenly panicked and said with an aggrieved look: "Master, no, it's not me!"
Zhong Dingxin said angrily: "Come here, beat Qiu half to death and send him to justice!"
Several servants couldn't help but take away Butler Qiu who complained that he was wronged.
Zhong Dingxin said: "Let's forget it! Someone, give them some money! Take Master Sun back!"
After saying that, Zhong Dingxin turned around and walked inside. Zhong Zipan stood up proudly, snorted at Sheng Guoer, and walked forward triumphantly.
At this moment, Sheng Guoer stepped forward, blocked Zhong Zipan's path, kicked him down, and then shouted: "Tianniu, hit me!"
Tieniu stepped forward and beat Zhong Zipan hard.
The Zhong family hurriedly pulled Tieniu away. Zhong Zipan was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Zhong Dingxin said angrily: "If you dare to beat my grandson, I will go to Jinlong Mansion to sue you!"
Sheng Guoer turned back to the villagers and said, "Did everyone see us beating him?"
Zhong Zipan has been roaming the countryside for a long time, and everyone felt relieved, so they all said in unison: "No!"
Zhong Dingxin asked his family to carry Zhong Zipan back, pointed at Sheng Guoer and said, "Sheng Guoer, I'm going to sue you and bankrupt you!"
At this moment, Meng Zhouxing stood up and said, "Mr. Zhong, do you want to file a lawsuit? Okay, I will accompany you. I will be the Sheng family's lawyer in this lawsuit!"
Meng Zhouxing's words surprised Sheng Guoer. Meng Zhouxing turned around and said, "Don't worry when the road is rough, leave this matter to me!"
Seeing Meng Zhouxing's calm expression, Sheng Guoer felt safe.
