Chapter 334: "Into the burden"

Chapter 334: "Into the burden"

  Chapter 334, "Industry"

  The close follower sighed again: "You have to report this matter to Master Ji..."

"this……"

   looked at Xia Shoufu, who was exhausted for the chief officer, and said: "I also hope that Lord Shoufu will mourn..."

   Then he hesitated and said: "It's just... I wonder if I can just go and check one or two? It's official and there is no intention of offending. If there is any offense, I hope Master Haihan one or two..."

  Although it might offend the Xia family if he doesn't know how to work, but if he has been careless and careless, he can't explain it to his grown-ups. And in case something really went wrong, he couldn't afford it even more as a result.

   "There is nothing wrong with doing things according to the rules."

  Xia Tingzhen’s expression remained unchanged, only calmly instructed his followers: "Lead the way—"

   responded immediately and made a "please" gesture to several officials: "Everyone, please come with me."

  The officer saluted Xia Tingzhen, and soon followed him.

  As soon as the officials left, the housekeeper walked in: "Master..."

   "How." Xia Tingzhen asked coldly.

"Going back to the master, I woke up... but no one can say who was hurt by..." Because of this inability to do things, Ziyue escaped from the house and caused a big trouble. The tone of the housekeeper at this time Very unassuming: "I only found this behind their necks, please take a look..."

  Xia Tingzhen looked up slightly.

  The middle-aged man held a few extremely thin silver needles in his hand.

  "It is inferred from this that the master may be hiding in the dark and attacking with this needle..." The butler whispered: "This person is obviously here for Ziyue."

  Xia Tingzhen's eyes darkened.

   then asked in a deep voice: "The matter about Miss Zhou's family, can you find out?"

   "Going back to the master, I found something... This girl Zhou has been with the fourth girl for many years, but in the past two years... she has also been close to the girl from Shangshufu of the Ministry of War."

A very cold smile appeared in Xia Tingzhen's eyes.

   Ji Xiu’s only daughter——

  Speaking of, Ji Xiu actually used the same method twice!

  But who allowed him to raise such a pair of wicked barriers in his family, he gave the handle to those who were staring at him in vain...

  These debt collectors are simply not a pity to die!

  Thinking that the many unsuccessful problems in the past half a year all started with the second son's case, and he managed to suppress the many influences, and now the daughter has caused such a disaster...

  Xia Tingzhen pursed her blue lips, pressing down the tumbling in her heart.

   Seeing him raise his hand to press his temple, the housekeeper hurriedly helped him to sit down in the chair.

  "Master, what is wrong with you? Do you want to ask a doctor to see it?"

  Xia Tingzhen breathed out a suffocating breath for a long time.

   "No need."

  After all, I am getting older, and I have never experienced such big winds and waves in the past. In comparison, the little bit of gains and losses at the moment is nothing at all.

  But Ji Xiu, this person...must not stay longer!

  ……

  In the Beijing government, Ji Dong glanced at the almost yellow sky outside the hall again, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

  He had chosen to open the church earlier, and he felt that he had eaten too much for breakfast.

  Now, I still feel that I have eaten less.

  He hasn’t eaten for a whole day, so he’s sitting here and drinking tea!

  But those people who watch the excitement can't even share the joys and sorrows with him—that is, the few who are squeezed in the forefront and are eating steamed buns and sesame seeds!

  The child is even more embarrassing. He was holding oily chicken drumsticks, and he still had one in each hand, taking turns to eat... What conditions at home? The one that picked up the golden leaf?

   Feeling the rumbling in his belly, Master Ji couldn't sit still anymore.

  I was thinking about going back to eat something, but when I heard a stir outside the hall, I looked up and saw that the official who had been sent to the Xia family had returned.

   "Girl Xia still hasn't come..."

   "Could the Xia family come true to cover up?"

  "……"

  The people who have been waiting to watch the excitement start talking in a low voice.

The officer led by    hurriedly came to Ji Dong's side and said two words in a low voice.

   Ji Dong's expression changed, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you didn't read it wrong?"

   "The subordinate never admitted that she was wrong, it was Miss Xia Si." The official clerk was sure.

  After all, the four girls on Xiyi Street were chased and beaten by a bird that day. He happened to not be on duty that day, and he took his wife and children to take a look.

but……

Whether    hangs itself is obvious from the scar on the neck.

  But this kind of thing does not have to be, after all, people are dead.

  Ji Dong also understands what should be done.

  He just handled the case, and he has already offended many people invisibly. When things get to this point, it doesn't make sense to try to grasp how the person died.

  A moment later, he clapped the gavel under his hand heavily.

  The inside and outside of the hall became quiet for a moment.

  Ji Dong said solemnly: “According to the investigation, the four girls of the Xia family have committed suicide in fear of crime. Today’s court trial ends here, and those involved in this case will choose a day to judge and leave the court—”

  The unexpected news, called four times to explode the pot.

  "……"

  Zhou Yan, who was still sitting in the cubicle, opened her eyes wide.

  Xia Xi... committed suicide? !

How can this be……

  What kind of person is Xia Xi? She can't recognize herself more clearly. How could such a person have the courage to commit suicide?

Or……

  Thinking of a possibility, Zhou Yan only felt cold all over her body.

  Xia Xi just died...

   Then, she no longer has to worry about whether there will be any changes in this case, and there is no need to worry that Xia Xi will retaliate against her.

  But at this time she couldn't tell whether she was more relaxed or more fearful and fearful.

  At this point, she truly discovered that, in front of those real cold-blooded methods and various calculations, her careful thoughts were simply too small, too whimsical, and smart.

  Xia Xi’s identity, and he is dead if he dies...

  What about her?

  But if you take a wrong step, your luck is a little bit worse...

  Zhou Wei sat there stiffly, motionless, forgot to blink his eyes.

   "Girl Zhou?"

  The yaman on the side raised his voice a little and shouted.

  Zhou Suo came back to his senses, and looked at him in a daze.

   "My lord has said that, today, Miss Zhou, who has worked so hard, came forward to testify. Now that the case is over, Miss Zhou can go back."

   Zhou Wei nodded slowly: "Thank you..."

  She stood up, only to realize that due to prolonged tension, even her legs were weak at this time.

  She moved very slowly, and when she went out, the people outside the hall had almost dispersed.

  Because of this, she saw the familiar face at a glance.

  The tall and fat young man was looking in the direction of the hall, and seeing her coming out, he hurriedly waved at her: "Big sister!"

   Zhou Wei immediately got hot eyes inexplicably, and walked towards him.

   "It's okay, don't be afraid, the eldest brother is here to pick you up and go home." The teenager patted his sister on the shoulder comfortingly, "Go, let's go home."

  Zhou Wei pulled out his sleeves and got into the carriage.

  "Brother, when did you come, why didn't I see you..."

  In the car, Zhou Wei asked in a dumb voice.

   "I have been here for a long time. There were too many people before, and I couldn't squeeze forward." Zhou Zhi sighed and said: "Sister, you scared my mother and me this time. Fortunately, nothing happened."

   "It's all my fault..." Zhou Yan lowered his head, and tears fell from his eye sockets one by one.

  My brother had persuaded her before, and she still felt that her brother was too stupid to make progress, now think about it, she is the stupidest one!

   "Father... Did you know that too?" When asked about this, the girl's voice became even lower, with unconcealable fear.

  Father is always strict...

   And if she gets involved in this kind of thing this time, it will definitely cause trouble for her father.

  She was sitting in the cubicle, and she thought about it, this time she came forward to testify, more or less offended the Xia family, what if the Xia family stumbled upon her father in the future?

  "Don't worry, my father didn't blame you. My father said, as long as you tell the truth in court, don't give false testimony." Zhou Zhidao: "As for the court affairs, father always knows what to do, so you don't need to worry too much."

   Zhou Yan was stunned.

   Then, couldn't help it anymore, suddenly burst into tears, and plunged into his brother's arms.

   "Brother, I was wrong!"

  She is so stupid!

Blindly chasing things that do not belong to me, because I can’t reach them at all, I have to reach out to get them, and I can’t reach out, I have to start tiptoeing, and I can’t get them when I jump up, so I put the original stability on my feet. Change, step by step, I was dazzled, and I didn't even realize that I was stuck!

  She really knew she was wrong!

   Listening to my sister’s crying loudly, the young ones calmed down.

  The girl cried so much that her face was messed up, and her throat became hoarse.

  I was really tired, so I choked and stopped.

After wiping the mess off her face, the girl's nose moved.

   "...Why does it smell like stewed pork?"

  Zhou Zhi coughed slightly and said, “I didn’t know when I would leave the hall before. I was really hungry when I waited, so I asked Agui to buy some food...”

  The eldest sister nowadays hates him for eating too much, and he dare not let go of eating in front of her.

   However, the girl in front of me started searching in the car with the eyes of the girl in front of him, and asked, “Is it Xu Ji’s braised beef? Did I still buy sesame seeds?”

   "Ah... it's from Xu Ji, and the braised pig's feet... I also bought sesame seed cakes, here they are!"

  The boy took the things out of the bamboo basket under him.

   Zhou Wei took the oil paper bag, took a bite of the shortbread, and tore a piece of fragrant braised beef and sent it to the mouth.

  Looking at this long-lost scene, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel happy: "How is it, is it delicious?"

  The girl nodded repeatedly.

   "Well, it smells so good!"

  She was stupid before!

  Don’t keep so many delicious things, just do those stupid things!

  It is said that people can’t be hungry, and they become stupid when they are hungry. This is true.

  "Brother, if you buy something delicious in the future, remember to bring me a portion too!"

   "Haha, good! Sister, you finally figured it out!"

  ……

  The news that the four girls of the Xia family "feared sin and committed suicide" quickly spread through the city.

  Shangshu Jixiu of the Ministry of War, naturally, he has also learned of this.

  At this time, Ji Xiu sat in the study, listening to her daughter.

   "This time Xia Xi died, and died so disgracefully, not only did Xia Shoufu's idea of ​​trying to win over Cao Zhuangyuan through his marriage to the top, but also made the Xia family notorious again."

   Ji Wanyou said with a smile: "And so, the originally neutral Zhou Shilang, in order to protect himself, I am afraid that he can only lean towards his father."

Ji Xiu also had a smile in his eyes.

   "Well, it can be said that there are many birds with one stone. The old fox Xia Tingzhen, I am afraid that he will be very angry at this time."

  Speaking, Muhan looked at the daughter in front of him appreciatively: “I didn’t know how to be a father before, but my Waner has such a capable mind.”

  It's a pity that she is always a daughter.

  Yes, he confessed: “But in the future, your daughter’s family still has to interfere. This time, the father will not punish you. You have a sense of measure in your heart, so let’s not take it as an example.”

   His daughter’s family behavior is more or less dangerous, and he just wants the only daughter to be safe.

"The father is high on his daughter. Even if the daughter wants to do it anymore, she doesn't have such a comprehensive plan." Ji Wanyou said, "Most of this matter is still due to the son. The daughter was good at advocating at first, and he would also take the son's younger sister. Involved in...If it wasn't for Master Zhan to try to save the situation in time, how could there be such a result now?"

   Ji Xiu gave her a complicated look.

  Open your mouth and shut your mouth to account for the son...

   "Wan'er, there is a sentence, I still want to remind you." Ji corrected the color: "This Zhan Yunzhu is very deliberate. It is not a simple character. It is better for you to take care of it in time."

  His opposition to this matter has always been shown on his face, but even so, he can still detect his daughter's involuntary thoughts.

"Of course, my daughter knows that it is not easy to hold a son... But if he is really mediocre, how can he help his father?" Ji Wanyou's eyes are bright, but her voice is lower: "If it's just an ordinary person, don't say it. The father is now, and the daughter won't look at him more."

Ji Xiu frowned slightly.

Why doesn't    cover up yet?

  As everyone knows, he is still waiting for him even more unobtrusively.

   "My daughter has always wanted to talk to her father about this matter recently... My daughter really thinks that Master Zhan is very good, and he is a person worthy of entrusting him for life."

  When mentioning this kind of thing, the girl half dropped her eyes and her face turned red.

  But she still didn't hesitate.

  Perhaps it was because he was pampered by his father since childhood and was close enough to his father, or perhaps it was because he really made up his mind.

"Wan'er..." Ji Xiu sighed helplessly: "It's not that my father doesn't want to make you perfect, but this person... I always feel uneasy. In case he will turn his face ruthless and have another plan... Father is afraid of you sincerely. Wrong payment!"

"I know what my father is worried about, but just as my father was worried about, my daughter will marry sooner or later. In that case, has the father ever thought about letting Master Zhan... join our Ji family? Master Zhan no longer has his father. The family is simple. If it’s a parent, it’s really tied to our Ji family, and my father doesn’t have to worry about other things."

   "Into the superfluous?"

  Ji Xiu looked at her daughter unexpectedly: "Could it be that he asked you to say that?"

  Because there is only this daughter, he is afraid that she will be wronged by others when she marries, so he has the idea of ​​recruiting a son-in-law. He has not never had it before...

  But this is not a simple matter. It needs to be considered from many aspects, such as the other party’s family background, ability, and whether he has other intentions.

  　 Thank you Lu Qinghan for your reward, thank you everyone for your monthly pass.

Goodnight, everyone.
