Chapter 652: Burning Xujiang
Xu Jiang was worried that his wife would be out of character when she ran out to hunt horses. At night, Jinzhu asked, "Have you promised her to go out?"
Xu Jiang said: "She was just deliberately trying to make things difficult for me. An official asked his wife to go out to show off. Can I still become an official? I didn't agree."
Jinzhu said: "No one can stop what she has to do since she was a child. You should be careful, give in and coax a little, otherwise who can persuade her to go out?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Jiang only remembers the first sentence to be careful. He locks the door every day and night. Fushi didn't have to go out at first, but he couldn't even go back to the Xu family and her parents' home. Now he was immediately annoyed.
That day, wearing a military uniform, riding a little mare with a bow and arrow on his back, rushed out like the wind, and Xu Jiang hurriedly avoided.
With a command, the maid and servant split the door with an axe, and Fu took his men away, which soon caused a sensation in the entire yamen.
For three consecutive days, Fu's family went out early and returned late and hunted outside the city every day. Where can they find prey in the middle of winter? The family members were filled with a scent of northwest wind, and they suffered and found nothing.
Soon it reached the ears of the boss, thinking that Xu Jiang was instability and could not even see his wife, which meant that he wanted to give a bad review. Xu Jiang was panicked.
This day was the birthday of his boss, Wu Tui. Xu Jiang was afraid that he would make a mistake and went home to get some good things. In addition to the gifts of the Eight Great and Twelve Small Units, three gutters of 15 taels of 16 taels of silver, and a 24 taels of silver pot, and a 300 taels of silver.
That's not all, Xu Jiang took Xu Hao's hand sticker and begged Yang Shiqi to draw a painting, asked Song State to do a front and back chant, and put two large boxes to send.
The problem is that this is not from the Xu family, but Fu's dowry. At first sight, General Wu was shocked. How dare he accept it? However, he also thought that Xu Jiang was generous and knew how to respect his superiors. He was very happy and brought the box back to the door in person.
Xu Jiang, wearing auspicious clothes, was waiting in to go in to celebrate his birthday. When he saw his boss coming, he hurriedly came forward and welcomed the person into the yard.
Fu, who received the news in time, was furious. He stole a large amount of things without her permission. He was too lawless and shouted: "Xu Jiang, come in."
"Sir, wait." Xu Jiang said apologetically and ran into the house, "What are the instructions for grandma?"
Fu took up the rolling pin without saying a word and waved it over. Xu Jiang screamed, and his foot was not stable and he fell to the side. He happened to touch the iron.
In ancient times, iron was made of iron. When used, the charcoal fire in the stove was placed in the charcoal basin and then the iron was placed on it for heating. Today he wanted to wear auspicious clothes. Fu Shi wanted to iron his clothes on his whim. The iron and charcoal were placed on the shelf together.
It was a trivial matter to run into an iron. The charcoal fire was poured down on the shelf, and half fell into the round collar clothes. Xu Jiang seemed to be rolling into hell, and a scream came out, trembling with a sound, and he was about to take off his clothes in a hurry.
But the corner belt on the clothes was too anxious to untie, and the buckles of the round collar could not be removed. Fu Shi hurriedly helped him peel off the clothes. The whole back had a piece of meat as big as a palm fan and was almost cooked, full of blisters.
Fu was shocked. The Tutor Wu in the yard was alarmed and didn't care about inside and outside. He hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Get salt!"
Jin Zhu took it in a panic. While Xu Jiang was wailing steadily, he soaked salt in water and swept the salt water on the wound with chicken feathers.
Wu Tui Guan mistakenly thought that Fu was deliberately using fire to burn her husband. He scolded loudly: "How can there be such a bad wife in the world? If the sky thunder is not punished, the official law is not allowed, so you can keep such a bad beast in the world! Xu Jiang, you are too useless. Such beasts are like wolves, tigers, snakes and scorpions. You should kill them when you see them. Take advantage of them first! You can save them from being killed by her."
Fu was originally feeling guilty, but he hid in the inner room. He heard this and was furious and cursed: "Why do you curse me? Is it necessary for you to take care of my wife for me? Okay, he dare not kill me. You kill me for him."
Wu Tuiguan said angrily: "I will kill you, why? Besides the great harm in the world, it is my sinisterness! Don't think I'm nonsense. There are many examples of this among the ancients! Su Dongpo beat Chen Qing's wife and Su Fangzhou beat Gao's husband's wife. These are all good things done by our chivalrous men. What's wrong with killing you? I think Xu Jiang should change his name to Xu Jichang. Chen Jichang is famous for being afraid of his wife, so if you want to learn, learn from Su Dongpo. Today I am Su Dongpo, and I am used to beating the bad and evil wife of the Liu family. Do you dare to come out to me?"
Otherwise, the scholar failed to rebel for three years, and he scolded Wu Tui, and he spoke in a righteous manner, like a hero who saw injustice in the past.
Suddenly, Fu's wife was filled with urine and shit, and the yellow and smelly smelled soaked in her head and said, "I'm having fun."
Didn’t Fu’s house smell bad? It just so happened that no one was going to pour the toilet today, so he threw it out.
"ah!"
I heard the earth-shaking screams from the Xu family again, which made the neighbors rushed over, thinking that someone had died, so the servants ran to the inner house. Everyone rushed into the yard anxiously, okay! They all covered their noses and retreated.
At that time, Tutor Wu was still pointing fingers and shouting: "You dare not come out, I dare to come to you, what's wrong with me?"
"What's wrong? I'll treat you to shit!"
In an instant, many people saw with their own eyes that Lord Wu was splashed with shit on his face, and the stench was everywhere. Jinzhu and other girls screamed and were in a mess.
After all, Tutor Wu has been through a long battle. After screaming, he quickly closed his mouth and remained calm in the face of danger. He closed his eyes and wanted to raise his hand to wipe his face, for fear of tainting his hands. However, if he didn't use his hands to wipe it, the feces and urine would flow from top to bottom along his head and face and into his mouth.
Xu Jiang lay on the bench on the side, humming and screaming in pain. Seeing his boss's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but gloat and laughed.
Jin Zhu shouted in anger: "You are confused! Lord Wu is worried about you, which makes you mess with the fields. Do you still have the heart to laugh?"
He hurriedly called his family to invite Lord Wu, who was "righteous" to clean outside, and ordered his wife to take turns to boil water, and ordered the servants to serve him. The neighbors covered their mouths and held back their laughter and scattered.
An hour later, Tutor Wu came out neatly and said to his family: "Grandma who is so good! My family is also the place where the wife is in charge of governance, but she doesn't have such a cruel woman! In the past, I thought that a woman was just like Mrs. Gao and Liu, so I was so angry that I was thinking of opening my eyes for your husband. Who knew that she was so domineering, miscalculation and miscalculation!"
He was not very angry, but was just amazed, and the whole nerd had a temper. He went into the house to visit Xu Jiang, who was burned to death, and reported to the prefect of Shuntian for him that he had been poisoned by accident, could not wear clothes, and had to take good care of his illness at home.
Not to mention that the Xu family came to visit each other, Xu Hao came here to see it in person, which was a misunderstanding. He glared at his brother and sister who was as honest as a lamb, scolded him a few words, and told him to leave.
However, the Ministry of Works recently issued a document to repair the city wall. Shuntian Mansion has a great responsibility. All officials were assigned to various departments to divide the labor and supervise the city wall. The city wall in Jinling was too large, and it was insufficient staff. At this time, Xu Jiang was recuperating at home again, and his bosses were not very happy.
Tax officials were appointed to replace Xu Jiang. The Minister of Works of Heaven took officials to inspect the city walls. The other officials built it very strongly and seemed to be able to complete it in advance. However, the tax officials could not control the troops or the civilians. The craftsmen under the Ministry of Works were not afraid of him.
Others are 1 zhang high every day, but the highest is only 6 feet here; the cement paint used by others is 80 kilograms per day, but 120 kilograms here is not enough. As a result, the minister scolded Shuntian Mansion on the spot.
The prefect Kangwang was so angry that he beat the official ten times, and then took his anger on Xu Jiang's head, asking: "Why did he get drunk because of his inattentiveness? He heard that he was out of fear. How did his wife beat him? He was beaten so hard that he had to recuperate for two months?"
Mr. Wu said: "The surname is Fu, but I heard that he seems to be the daughter of the rich Ministry of Revenue."
"Nonsense." Kang Wang didn't believe it at all, "The rich and honest man of the Ministry of Revenue for a lifetime, and his family's family's family's family's family, how could his daughter be so domineering? Perhaps the wife did not come, and the one who was privately raised by Xu Jiang, pretended to be the main family. She forgot to change her surname. It can be seen that the surname can be changed at any time. After a while, she changed her surname to Xu, wouldn't she become the daughter of Duke Xu? Mr. Xu's sister changed her surname to Zhuge and recognized the descendants of Zhuge Wuhou?"
The officials burst into laughter, and Prison Wu smiled and said, "Sir, I'm telling a joke again."
Kang Wang smiled and said, "How can you make a great hammer if you are not Mr. Xu's sister? Xu Jiang knelt down and beg for mercy? He is not a descendant of Zhuge Liang. How did he learn how to attack fire and burn Xu's clothes without hanging?"
Other officials asked: "What's going on?"
Mr. Wu said: "At that time, he was going to come to my house to celebrate his birthday and gave him a valuable gift. I saw that it was inappropriate and returned it. He was talking in the yard. His wife asked him to enter the room. Unexpectedly, Xu Jiang accidentally pushed down the shelf and poured charcoal into his clothes.
I saw that he couldn't take off his belt for a moment, so I ran in to rescue him. The meat was much more pitiful than the Tengjiajun, so I treated him with salt water. At that time, out of righteous indignation, I was actually covered with shit and urine by the shrew. Alas!"
Kang Wang said: "There is such a bad woman in the world. You are close neighbors with him. Are you not afraid of it? You dare to be so arrogant."
Tutor Wu smiled bitterly and said, "My wife is not afraid of him even though she is born late, so his wife will naturally not fear of being born late."
Kang Wang said, "When his injury is healed, he will order him to rectify his husband's agenda and not be so depressed. If he doesn't rise up, he will destroy his test and ask him to go home. This official evaluation will be held by Lord Wu."
Tutor Wu smiled and said, "It's better to open the door by yourself. It's not easy to open the test for the night-sen. If he retorted and said that the night-sen was taught by his wife, he had a disheveled head and a naked face, and he didn't dare to go home for half a day outside, wouldn't it be a problem? Anyway, if I don't reveal his shortcomings, he won't say to me."
The officials immediately bit their tongues and did not dare to laugh. It turned out that this happened to Kang Wang himself. Because of his sexual intercourse with his concubine during the day, his wife was scolded by him. Except for himself, there was nothing in Shuntian Mansion that could not be unknown.
