Chapter 540: a little bit tempted
Chapter 540 A little bit tempted
Mr. Kong hurriedly returned to the new house of the Kong family in Changlefang. Seeing that his younger brother Kong Neng was quarreling with his younger brother and sister, Mrs. Zhu, he hurriedly shouted, "What time is it, you are still thinking about arguing! Aneng, Did you go to Nancheng Yamen to ask, why did they arrest our father?"
"It's not because of my brother-in-law's business!" Kong Neng said angrily.
"What's your tone? All Kang'an people can scold your brother-in-law, but you can't! If it wasn't for the sake of collecting money to fish you out, would your brother-in-law be able to file this lawsuit!" Kong scolded.
"Brother-in-law was arrested for what purpose, we are all like a mirror in our hearts, you can stop!" Kong Neng shook his big hand, and didn't save face for his sister at all, "My father helped my brother-in-law to make money to save me. My brother-in-law had an accident because he looked at this way to make money, and bypassed our father to find someone else! If my brother-in-law didn't trust our father, could this happen?"
Zhu Shi whispered, "Sister, I just heard that my brother-in-law still owes a gambling debt?"
Ever since she married into the Wang family, Kong's family has always been coaxed by her mother's family. Now that Kong Neng and his wife have asked this question, of course she felt uncomfortable and said with a sullen face, "You don't need to worry about your brother-in-law's affairs, it's just how to save our father. If our father was arrested because of your brother-in-law's case, why didn't he get arrested in the Punishment Department, but went to the Nancheng Military and Horse Division?"
"It is said that the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment cannot be filled." Kong Neng said, "Sister, Gao Yonghu is not a good stubborn. Do you think you can find a way to transfer our father to the Xicheng yamen?" Kong Neng lived in the Xicheng yamen for almost three years. His father made everything through the Xicheng prison, and going to the Xicheng Yamen prison would definitely suffer less than in Nancheng. What's more, although Jiang Er is not a thing, he has a good face and will not bully others. His father is locked in the Xicheng Yamen, and Kong Nengcai feels at ease.
"Jiang Feng doesn't even care about your brother-in-law, how can he manage our father?" When Jiang Feng was mentioned, Kong became angry, "Don't think about going to prison, it's serious to think about how to get our father out."
Kong Neng rolled his eyes and said, "I understand the matter of the yamen, and I have to use money to smash it. It's too late for my family to buy a new house. How much money do you have in your hand? Give me five hundred taels for emergency?"
"I don't have the money, where can I get the money!" As soon as he heard his brother asking for money, Mr. Kong's voice became an octave higher, "If I had the money, could your brother-in-law be arrested at the Ministry of Punishment? No!"
Two fat faces of the same style, looking at each other for a long time, Kong Neng snorted, "Okay!"
Mr. Kong roared, "What kind of face do you have? If it wasn't for me all these years, our family could..."
"If it wasn't for my brother-in-law, our father wouldn't be able to get in!"
"If it wasn't for you, your brother-in-law wouldn't be able to get in either! If it wasn't for our father who opened the door to save you, your brother-in-law is such an honest scholar who knows these ways?"
"You guys stop arguing."
"Shut up for me!" As soon as Zhu Shi said a word, she was stopped by the Kong family's sister and brother in unison. Her face sank, and she twisted her body into the inner room. Kong Shi and Kong Neng also parted ways.
When he returned to Wang's house, Mr. Kong chased everyone out of the house, got under the bed and pulled out a brick from the bed, and took out an oilcloth bag from it. Because her fat body was stuck by the bed board, she spent a long time crawling out from under the bed, patted the soil and sat on the bed to start counting money.
After counted, she stuffed the oilcloth bag into the belly pocket she was wearing, and she felt more at ease.
"Mother, can you be in the room?" Wang Tuyuan hurried over from the study when he learned that his mother had returned from his grandfather's house.
Kong responded, and when his son pushed the door and came in, Kong couldn't help crying, "Son, your uncle said he had no money and refused to save your grandfather. He is unfilial. , he's still in jail now!"
The fifteen-year-old Wang Tuyuan's eyelids twitched and asked in a low voice, "My uncle asked you for money?"
"Isn't it, he has no conscience..." Kong shi cried and cried, "If we still have money, can your father be caught? All our money is in your grandmother's hands, she is holding it tightly, mother. What can be done? Son, your grandmother is partial to your second uncle and refuses to give money to save your father."
My father was arrested, my grandmother was ill, and my second uncle didn't care about anything. Now my grandfather was also arrested, and my mother only cried when she didn't want to think, which made Wang Tuyuan very angry. He said loudly, "Why are you crying, my father and grandpa can come out if you cry?!"
Kong Shi held back his tears and asked, "Then what do you say?"
"How would I know!" Wang Tuyuan leaned on his chair angrily. When something like this happened at home, he didn't have the face to ask his classmates in Guozijian. All the people he handed over over the years have been ruined by his father! His father is really... humiliating and humiliating!
Twelve-year-old Wang Tuzhan slammed on the door frame, looked at his mother and then at his elder brother, and whispered, "I can only ask my uncle for this matter."
Mr. Kong said angrily, "I asked for it a long time ago, he doesn't care. Just let us choose whether your father should be locked up in Kang'an, or given out. Do you listen to what he is saying is human?"
Wang Tuzhan came in and whispered, "Have you ever asked Cousin Liuer? If Cousin Liuer is to be used in front of my uncle."
"She's more unscrupulous than her father! She almost broke your father's finger!" Kong shi said angrily.
If sister Liuer doesn't care... Wang Tuzhan said again, "Mother, if father goes to the frontier guard, I want to follow."
Mr. Kong glared at him and said, "Are you stupid?! What kind of boundary is the frontier? Even the soil blown by the wind can choke you to death!"
"No matter how much soil there is, it's better than staying in Kang'an and being stabbed in the spine." Wang Tuzhan whispered.
My father is in prison, my son and eldest brother are no longer able to take the imperial examinations for official positions, what can we do in Kang'an? "Teen years, is the age of strong self-esteem, Wang Tuyuan thinks like his younger brother, "Let's ask my uncle to ask my son to find a writing job for my father in the frontier guards. This time, the prisoner is going to Wensu. , where there are mountains and waters, not far from Li Taibai's hometown of Suiyecheng, it is a good place for an outstanding person. Let's follow our father to settle down there, which is no worse than Kang'an. "
"Yes, mother, let's go. Grandpa was arrested. If we don't leave, my uncle will have to come to us every day to ask for money." Wang Tuzhan begged.
"Where did you find out about the distribution to Wensu?" Mrs Kong wiped her tears and asked.
"My son and the second brother were listening to other people's discussions outside the mansion. Those officers wanted to **** the prisoners to Wensu. They were discussing moving their family members there too, and they won't come back if they stayed there." Wang Tuyuan replied, " If Wen Su is not good, can the officials plan to do this?"
"They said that in Wensu, one hundred taels can buy a large yard, and fifty taels can buy one mu of fertile land." Wang Tuzhan said.
One hundred and two yards and five or two acres of fertile land? Mrs Kong pressed the bank note on her chest. Her father was arrested and she still stayed in Kang'an. Sooner or later, the money would have to be filled in the hole for Aneng. Mrs Kong's eyes turned and she was a little tempted, "Let's find out more. Find out, if it is true, you will find your uncle."
Thank you Bingbing for the reward, the first one will be sent today.
