Chapter 119: A big uproar
"How did this news leak out!"
The Qingliu people were worried about Zhao Qin's death for a while, so Fu Rong's life was comfortable and comfortable, but he never expected that something he had planned was a good plan, and such a sudden change occurred. Rumors spread from Taiping to Sanshan Street, Qiwang Street, and the entire Nancheng West City had spread all over the west city. It would be fine if the people were alone, but you should know that many of the officials who really did things lived nearby, so how could they not know?
"My father-in-law, I've checked it. It was the people from Xu's parents' room who spread the news first. They shouldn't really know, but they were deliberately venting their anger by damaging Xu Xun's reputation."
In the study room, Chen Lu, who had always been cold-faced, looked a little uncomfortable when he said this. He apologized and said, "It was all my negligence. I thought that I just wanted to leave some face to the Xu family in Taipingli to avoid Xu Xun's reputation of revenge. Therefore, the mother and son in the Xu family killed and set fire to the fire were actually sentenced to light, but they were just broken and beaten to the board. If I had known this, they would have been unable to make any noise."
"What's the point of saying this now!"
Fu Rong snorted coldly and sat down, but his angry expression just now disappeared. He thoughtfully picked up the pair of warm jade balls on the table and slowly turned in his palms. After a while, he said, "Forget it, there is no benefit in making a fuss. If Xu Bian is still alive, he will not be able to hide it at this time. Didn't Xu Xun believe it? In this way, all kinds of witnesses will not be abrupt at all. It's just right that the Xu family's house is about to jump around, and our family is worried that we can't find a scapegoat, they are ready-made! At that time, our family will come forward to get Xu Xun's recognizing his biological father, and invite Duke Wei into Duke Lao Zheng, and Zhang Mao and other clear streams, so there are fewer hidden dangers than before."
"My father-in-law is wise, why didn't I think of this!"
"Stop flattering our family to make us happy, it's weird if you can't imagine it! Our family is just angry that they are plotting against this kind of cat and dog guy, and they feel unhappy!" Fu Rong has always regarded Chen Lu as his nephew, and often shows his original temperament without any concealment in front of him. After a smile and scolding, he cursed Chen Lu in awkward manner, he curled his lips with disgust, "Our family doesn't want to see that family jumping around on the ground of Jinling again. After this incident is over, you can clean up the nest of snakes and rats for our family!"
"Yes, father-in-law, don't worry!"
That day, because Huitong volunteered, Xu Xun also wanted to see the real skills of this old Western factory expert, so he simply let it go. With this uproar, he only felt that the monk's affairs were carved from the same mold as his own, as if he was afraid that the matter would not be big enough. A set of rumors were contradictory, some were in line with each other, some spoke for him, and some were pouring dirty water on him. Various versions were dazzling. In addition, the rumors spread by people in the market were spreading rumors. Now, when someone was caught in the west city of Nancheng, he would ask, nine out of ten would talk about the father-son storm of the Xu family in Taiping. Even in Fu Rong's most strict eunuch's mansion, the servants often had strange expressions when they saw him.
The previous time Fu Rong brought Xu Liang and Xu Xun home, he only said that he was repaying his son's savior. While asking his confidant to teach the two of them etiquette, he also arranged a gardener's job to confuse the public, while Xu Xun arranged it in that hiding place. So, at the moment, there were inevitably people muttering in the young master's ear.
At this moment, the eldest girl Lu'er combed Fu Jin's hair while saying, "Miss, if you want to say that things in the world are really impermanent, Mr. Xu Qi is handsome and handsome, and the master loves you, how could he be the son of the old gardener Xu Liang?"
"Nothing in this world is impossible." Fu Jin frowned unhappily. Seeing Lu'er sticking out her tongue and not saying anything, she then ordered lightly, "And, no matter that has no foundation is allowed to be spread blindly in the future, otherwise if Dad blames him, you will suffer."
Lu'er has always been the most favored girl around Fu Jin. Although she was blamed, she didn't know where she got the courage. After a while, she went around to the other side and whispered: "But Miss, that's good. The master has too much appreciation for Mr. Xu Qi, and he has kept people at home. Before, the servants said that the master regarded people as a son-in-law who rode a dragon. Now that this matter has happened, the master will not joke about your lifelong event..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a jingle sound. Fu Jin smashed the pearls in his hand. The large and small round pearls rolled all over the ground. Lu'er, who was frightened, saw Fu Jin suddenly stood up and glared at her angrily. After a while, he woke up. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy. However, Fu Jin, who had always been kind to others, didn't even look at her at all. He called a mother in charge and ordered to drag the person down without saying a word.
Although she was an adopted daughter, Fu Jin was raised by Huang since she was taken to the eunuch's house. Her adoptive father pampered her brother and loved her. She was innocent and smart, and she was even more self-respecting. From Lu'er, she learned from her family that the subordinates were chewing such tongues in private. After she told her mother to drag the person away, she immediately went to the adoptive mother and held the person away and hugged Huang's knees to cry. Huang was also furious for it. He immediately ordered Lu'er to be sold away and told the superiors not to discuss Xu Xun's affairs again. Lu'er would be the end. After this rectification, the mansion was silent for a while, but when Fu Rong heard about this, he was furious that those bad slaves dared to spread such words, but in the end he couldn't help but sigh.
"Gangze is easy to get rid of. When I hear these gossips, I'm so arrogant."
Although Xu Xun didn't know about such a small storm, the Fu family members naturally would not be able to notice him when they saw that he had gone from his initial pursuit to his current escaping. Fu Rong was as always, summoned him to talk about the customs, geography, worldly ways, family of big men, etc., but in the past, he would occasionally come out to joke with his daughter Fu Jin, but he did not mention it all these days. Faced with such changes, Xu Xun felt relieved and even walked much lighter.
The street rumors spread for more than half a month in a blink of an eye, and gradually became more and more decent. So, Xu Qi, the Duke of Wei who had disdained this earlier, was the first to calm down and came to see Fu Rong for a long talk. Zheng Qiang came uninvited. Zhang Mao, the priest of the Imperial College, asked Fu Hengan to send a message to Xu Xun, saying that there must be groundlessness, and asked him to close the door to thank guests for studying hard. Wu Xiong, the prefect of Yingtian who was sick, asked Xu Tiao to take Xu Xun to see him, and the teachings said that it is important to track down the source of the rumors, but the rumors stopped at the wise and so on.
When such a thing was almost known to everyone in the city, Xu Jin, who was resentful because of the beaten board, actually sent someone to do something that made the people and the people in Nanjing dumbfounded. Early in the morning, before the stick sores were recovered, he was carried to the door of Yingtian Prefecture, and the complaints sounded again. In less than an hour, all the big men on the ground in Jinling received news.
"He actually dared to dig Xu Liang's son's grave!"
Not to mention that Fu Rong was shocked, even Xu Xun was unexpected when he heard the news. Seeing Xu Liang learn that Xu Jin had accused that the thin coffin in his son's grave was empty, it was obvious that he gave his son to Xu Bian that year, and intentionally confused Xu's bloodline. He immediately rushed out like a gust of wind. Xu Xun didn't care about anything else and hurriedly chased behind. However, Xu Liang rushed to the stable and untied a horse, but he didn't even need any saddles and bridles. He cut a rope and rode out like this. He had just learned how to ride a horse slowly, but he could only wait for the groom in the stable to prepare another horse for him.
However, he did not rush directly to Yingtian Prefecture, but went out of Changfu Street and circled around and went to Liren Street to find Huitong directly. Seeing that the monk was also shocked at first, he said angrily that this plan was definitely not his instigation. He understood that the monk had finally had a friendship with Xu Liang, and he would definitely not secretly instruct Xu Jin to do this in order to confirm the matter. So he turned his head and went straight to Yingtian Prefecture. As a result, as soon as he got off the horse at the door, he learned that Xu Liang had just rushed into the prison hall and slapped Xu Jin fainted.
"This Uncle Xu..."
As he muttered these four words, Xu Xun could understand Xu Liang's impulse. If anyone dared to dig his parents' grave back then he would have decided to beat the man into a pig's head without saying a word. So, under the guidance of the officer, the officer Shen, who was behind the case, had a rigid face, while Xu Liang was held tightly by three or four officers. As for Xu Jin on the stretcher next to him, he was ignorant of the personnel, so he quickly stepped forward and laughed and said a few good things. Fortunately, Mr. Shen was just annoyed Xu Liang's trespass, but hated Xu Jin's unscrupulous way, so he just scolded Xu Liang for not prosecuting him. However, he ordered Xu Jin to be imprisoned for the crime of slapping the tomb, and drove all the servants and servants carrying Xu Jin out of Yingtian Palace.
The matter was so uproared, and the Xu family's eldest son in Taiping was even more messy. Follow Xu Jin to the servants in Yingtian Prefecture. Only one of them went home to report the news, and the rest ran away. After Master Xu learned about it, he simply fell into a head-on fainting. After the servants pinched the people and poured cold water for a long time, he woke up slowly. When he learned that Mrs. Xu was actually going to the yamen to make a noise, he smiled bitterly and said a sentence: "Send someone to invite the third master of the clan leader, I want to divorce my wife, I want to drive the rebellious son out of the house!"
Whether the eldest wife divorced or abandoned her son, Xu Xun, who helped Xu Liang out of Yingtian Prefecture, had no time to pay attention to this matter. Although Huitong's work was done by him, he took it on the reason. Seeing Xu Liang's distraught appearance, he couldn't help but feel deeply guilty for a moment.
"Uncle, it's all me..."
"Stop saying anything." Xu Liang spitted these words dryly, then twisted his neck stiffly and looked at Xu Xun, "Go to drink with me."
