   Chapter 53 052 [Squire! Country wish! 】

  If the concubine's children are counted together, Fei Yuanyi has sixteen granddaughters.

  The boss, Fei Yinghuan, has a fierce first wife, does not take concubines, and has one son and two daughters.

  The second child, Fei Yingqi, was a fierce wife, and did not take concubines. She had three sons and one daughter.

  The third eldest, Fei Yingke, has a weak wife, eight concubines, five sons and twelve daughters.

  Fourth son Fei Yinggong, his first wife died early, no remarriage, no concubine, brought back an illegitimate daughter.

  Granddaughter, there is no shortage!

  Fei Yuanyi is an old scholar with a rich life in his later years. Youxi participated in the literary conference and wrote a few sour poems.

  This type of literary society for the elderly is often headed by senior officials, and the gentry and elders are willing to be arty. They don't drink flowers and wine very much, even if they invite famous prostitutes to play and sing, they still listen to the music seriously-they are powerless!

  Most of the time, wearing bamboo sticks and straw shoes, wandering in the mountains and forests, reciting poems and composing lyrics.

  Or invite friends, go fishing, eat wine, drink tea, listen to operas, play cards, and enjoy the old age comfortably.

   Don’t think that these old guys seem to have no sense of existence!

  Successive county magistrates must obtain their approval if they want to stay in the Xiangxian Temple.

   Civil disputes are generally not reported to officials, but they are also invited to mediate and judge.

  If there are thieves or natural disasters, and the county magistrate wants to raise money and food, they are also invited to call for donations.

   Patrolling the censors to travel places, listening to the so-called public opinion, often communicating with these old guys.

  Squire, country wishes!

  If you want to mix in this circle, you must first have fame, and the second is money.

  Fame and face are Fei Yuanyi's lifeblood and the value of his life, far more important than a granddaughter!

  Last year, the Shanxi Rebel Army broke through the county seat, and the county magistrate ran away quickly.

  Fei Rulan's fiancé is rather stupid, and was fooled by the big family in the city for a while, so he stood up to recruit the townspeople to defend the city. After only one stick of incense, a spy opened the door to offer the city. The guy was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, and the rebel army chased him and chopped him down.

  Afterwards, the imperial court determined that he had died in the city and ordered the local government to commend him.

  When the old guys got together, someone praised and said: "Brother Zimei, you really have a good grandson-in-law. He will never retreat in a deadly battle, and he will sacrifice his life to serve the country. Your Majesty has given the Jieyi Memorial Archway!"

He does not mean that.

  Fei Yuanyi always felt harsh, and he tossed and turned when he returned home. At first glance, he felt that his granddaughter was an eyesore.

  Sun-in-law is a martyr who died for the country, and the emperor bestowed the Jieyi Memorial Archway. But the granddaughter is alive and well, if she doesn't die as her husband, how can she justify it? I'm afraid that from now on, he will be ridiculed all the time, and he will not be able to hold his head up in front of many gentry!

  In the past six months, Fei Yuanyi tried many times, but his granddaughter kept pretending not to understand.

  To this day, Fei Yuanyi simply opened up his words, leaving no room for his words, brought out the family ancestors, and forced his granddaughter to commit suicide.

  …

  Outside the door, a house slave paced back and forth, full of anxiety but did not dare to go in and disturb him.

   Waiting left and right, Fei Yuanyi finally finished writing a word, wiped his hands and said, "Old Wu, why hasn't there been a reply?"

  Being called Lao Wu's house slave, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Master, we can't get in to Jing Xing Yuan."

   "Can't you get in?"

Fei Yuanyi didn't understand, and said: "I just want you to send someone to inquire about the news. If Rulan really died for her husband, I will help you deal with the funeral. If Rulan is disobedient and still refuses to die for her husband, you will come back." That's right. What does it mean if you can't get in?"

Lao Wu explained with a bitter face: "Master, I sent two groups of people. The first group really heard that Miss Sun committed suicide, so they rushed in to deal with it, but they were arrested and locked up in the firewood room. I sent the second group The second call, I want to bring the person back to ask about the situation, who knows that after entering the Zhongqin Court, there is no news at all."

   "No audio at all?" Fei Yuanyi still didn't understand.

   Lao Wu continued to explain: "Now at Jingxingyuan, whether it is the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard, the main entrance and the side entrances are all blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or exit. It is completely unclear what is going on inside."

   "You tell Jing Xingyuan to release him quickly!" Fei Yuanyi said angrily.

   "They didn't let it go, saying they would wait for the young lady to come back," the fifth child said aggrievedly, "It's the young master's yard, so we can't let people break the door openly."

  Fei Yuanyi said: "Just say it's the old man's order, let them release him immediately!"

   "I said it, it doesn't work," Lao Wu took the opportunity to apply eye drops, "The young master's yard is becoming more and more domineering, and he usually doesn't pay attention to our Gongbei Garden."

  Fei Yuanyi was furious, slapped the table and shouted: "It's against the sky, you take people there yourself, if you don't open the door, just smash it open!"

  After receiving the imperial decree, the fifth child immediately summoned the slaves to kill Jing Xingyuan.

   "Quickly open the door and let people go, or you will be impolite!"

  It was nearly dark at this time, and the fifth child roared with a torch, and seemed to set the house on fire if there was a disagreement.

   "Go on!"

  I don't know who responded, and suddenly threw something.

   Lao Wu asked his subordinates to pick it up, but it turned out to be a purse with things in it.

   "Open it and have a look." Lao Wu ordered.

  The subordinates opened the purse and shone it with a torch. They were frightened out of their wits and exclaimed, "It's four fingers!"

  The fifth child also turned pale with fright, pointed inside and shouted, "You... how dare you kill people?"

   No answer.

  The fifth child is also very old, but he can't stand this kind of intimidation. He ordered his subordinates to say: "You stay here and I will ask the master for instructions!"

   This guy ran wildly all the way, running and shouting: "Master, master, someone died!"

  Fei Yuanyi was preparing to eat, frowned and said, "Why are you panicking? If you have something to say, talk about it."

  Lao Wu took out some severed fingers: "Master, Jing Xingyuan not only did not open the door, but also threw out some fingers."

   "Amitabha, Amitabha..." The old lady put down her chopsticks and recited the Buddha's name repeatedly.

  Fei Yuanyi was completely dumbfounded and didn't know how to deal with it.

  He just wanted to force his granddaughter to commit suicide, and sent someone over to inquire about the news.

  If you really committed suicide, arrange the funeral immediately, and contact the county magistrate as soon as possible to set up the memorial archway.

   If he didn’t commit suicide, there’s nothing he can do. He can’t send someone to beat his granddaughter to death, right?

   It's such a simple thing, now it's all messed up. Two groups of house slaves were sent there, but both were detained by Jing Xingyuan, and the gate was blocked to isolate the inside and outside.

   Now it's even more outrageous, throwing out a few fingers.

   It is impossible for Fei Yuanyi to come forward in person for this kind of matter, but if he doesn't come forward in person, the servants under him will have nothing to do.

  Fei Yuanyi was in a dilemma, and suddenly looked at his wife: "Why don't you go for a walk?"

  The old lady fiddled with the rosary and stood up. She didn't eat any food, and went straight to the Buddhist hall, only to say: "You have to clean up the sins you have done. Don't disturb me to recite the Buddha."

  Fei Yuanyi was stunned for a long time, then suddenly overturned the dining table: "It's reversed, it's all reversed!"

   "Master, this..." The fifth child didn't know what to say.

Fei Yuanyi forcibly suppressed his anger: "Go ahead, just say that today was a misunderstanding, and quickly bring them back to the old man. If a bunch of servants in my courtyard were detained overnight by the head room, what kind of words would they spread? Ehu Fei will surely become a laughing stock!"

   Lao Wu hurriedly ran to Jingxingyuan again. This matter was beyond his comprehension, and he really didn't know how to solve it.

  Son’s servant, detain Laozi’s servant, this kind of thing has never happened in the whole lead mountain!

   Panting and ran outside the gate, the fifth child shouted: "Today was a misunderstanding, let him go quickly."

  Zhao Han replied in it: "Today, the evil slave trespassed on Jing Xing Yuan, I don't know what kind of conspiracy, I have no right to release people, I have to wait for the young lady to come back and deal with it!"

   "Who are you?" asked the fifth child.

  Zhao Han replied: "I am a loyal servant of the young master."

  Lao Wu could only shout: "The master said, let him go quickly, and let the past not be blamed for what happened today."

  Zhao Han was surprised: "Could it be that these evil slaves who trespassed in the boudoir of the inner courtyard were actually sent by the old man?"

   "Of course not!" The fifth child dared to admit it.

Zhao Han scolded angrily: "Since it was not sent by the old lady, how can the old lady say that it is not the fault of the past? You are bold and cunning, with ulterior motives, and dare to falsely pass on the old lady's order. Where do you want to put the old lady? Who is your surname? Hurry up and report it." Get your name on!"

   "I...you..." Old Wu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

  Zhao Han sarcastically said: "Is it possible that I have exposed my true colors, and I am already speechless?"

   "You... I... I'm so angry!" The fifth child stomped his feet frantically, taking the blame for no reason, his blood surged, and he almost fainted.

   Right at this moment, Mrs. Lou came back.

   Ignoring the situation in front of him, Lou came slowly, without the slightest sullen expression on his face. She walked to the gate of the courtyard and said softly, "I'm back, open the door."

   "Yeah!"

  The heavy courtyard door opened immediately, making a tooth-piercing sound.

  Lou said: "Hushu is old, it's time to oil it, the sound is very harsh."

  Zhao Han held a knife and cupped his fists: "Madam, there are evil slaves who trespassed in Jingxingyuan today, and I have captured them all and locked them in the firewood room."

  The servant girl Dong Fu suddenly stepped forward, whispered in Lou's ear, and recounted the whole story.

  Mr. Lou smiled approvingly: "Brother Han, you are fine."

  Zhao Han replied: "It's a matter of duty."

  Mr. Lou said to the other servants: "You are also very good."

   All the servants were overjoyed, rewards must be indispensable.

  The fifth child stepped forward and said, "Young Madam..."

   "Don't worry," Lou interrupted immediately, "I haven't sorted out the matter here, so take it slowly one by one."

  The fifth child hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak.

  Mr. Lou suddenly yelled: "Come here, drag out that slave who eats inside and outside!"

  Who eats the inside out?

   Of course it is Mrs. Ling!

  Even if it wasn’t, it had to be, because she belonged to the old lady, so she had to pack one up today and show it to the old lady.

  Mrs. Ling was dragged to the courtyard and shouted in horror: "Madam, please forgive me, you are wronged!"

  Fei Chun was also shocked, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Madam, please forgive my mother, my mother did not collude with outsiders."

  Lou said to Mo Xiang: "Let me ask you, what are the crimes of this slave?"

Mo Xiang didn't even need to read the manuscript, just opened his mouth and came: "I have an account book, so I won't mention the detailed account, and the odds will be erased. In the fourth year of Tianqi, Ling's greedy ink deducted forty-seven taels. In the fifth year of Tianqi, Ling's greedy ink Seventy-nine taels were deducted. In the sixth year of the apocalypse, Ling's greed for ink deducted one hundred and twenty-five taels..."

  The chief manager of Jing Xingyuan, Mrs. Ling's husband, and Fei Chun's father, Fei Lin, is not at home at the moment, and has been ordered to go to the farm to collect summer grain rent - Fei Yinghuan has a field under his name.

  Mrs. Ling was so frightened that she kowtowed frantically to beg for mercy.

   "Hit me!" Lou shouted angrily.

  Fei Chun could only ask Fei Ruhe for help, crying, "Master, please save my mother."

  Fei Ruhe softened his heart and said, "Mother..."

"Shut up!"

  Mr. Lou scolded, and ordered: "Beat me hard, it's nothing to kill or maim!"

   "Ah... ma'am, please forgive me!"

  Madam Ling let out a miserable scream, maybe she lost her mind from the pain, and finally shouted: "Young Madam, I belong to the old Madam, you can't beat me to death like this!"

   "Kill me, kill me!" Lou became more and more angry.

  Seeing that Mrs. Ling was beaten to pieces, Zhao Han stepped forward and reminded: "Madam, at least I have to show some kindness to the young master."

  The young master in these words refers to both Fei Yinghuan and Fei Ruhe.

  Just because Mrs. Ling's husband is a book boy who grew up with Fei Yinghuan. And Mrs. Ling's son is also a school boy who grew up with Fei Ruhe.

   Lou let out his anger, and heard Zhao Han pleading, raised his hand and said, "Stop."

  Mrs. Ling was almost passed out.

  Lou asked: "Are you convicted?"

   "Convicted, guilty." Mrs. Ling said weakly.

  Lou asked again: "Who are you from?"

   Madam Ling wept and replied: "I was born as a young lady's person, and died as a young lady's ghost."

Lou sneered: "Send it to treat the wounded. Withhold the monthly money of the servants in the courtyard and make it up yourself within half a month, otherwise I will sell you! As for the money you are greedy for ink, I will not pursue it... Madam Ling!"

"Make it up, make it up, make it up for sure," Madam Ling cried out in horror, "Thank you Madam for your kindness, thank you Madam for your kindness. This servant is not Madam Ling, but this servant is just a lowly servant girl. I dare not call you Madam anymore. I dare not call you Madam Yes, I am a lowly maidservant, and this servant is a lowly maidservant. A lowly maidservant, a really lowly maidservant..."

  Mr. Lou didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, and ordered: "Bring out all the evil slaves in the firewood room, and I will personally send them back to Gongbei Garden!"

  A total of nineteen domestic slaves were **** by Wuhuada, and they were all escorted out of the woodshed.

  Mr. Lou said to those house slaves: "Let's go, follow me to see the old man."

  Ordering everyone to disperse, Lou took only one maid and walked to Fei Yuanyi's Gongbei Garden.

She stood in the courtyard and shouted: "My daughter-in-law came to pay my respects to my father-in-law. Today, some evil slaves trespassed on my daughter-in-law's inner courtyard. I didn't know that it was my father-in-law before, but now I have interrogated them clearly. My daughter-in-law dared not make any claims, so she took them with her." Come and hand it over to the eunuch.”

   Fei Yuanyi's voice came from the back room: "I will deal with these evil slaves myself. It's getting late, so go back."

   "Daughter-in-law resign!" Lou saluted and exited.

   "嗙!"

  There was a muffled sound from the back room, but it was the old man smashing something again.
