Chapter 124 Retribution
The Ouyang family has been expanded and renovated and the door panel has been replaced. Every time Ouyang Jing returns home, she always sees the door at first sight.
But now there are three layers inside and three layers outside the doorstep, which makes her helpless even if she wants to enter.
A woman suddenly discovered Ouyang Jing: "Oh, this isn't the daughter of the Ouyang family."
As soon as these words came out, neighbors watching the fun came over together.
Ouyang Jing suppressed his anxiety and said with a forced smile: "I don't know what's wrong with my family. I'll bother you, uncle and aunt, let me in."
The people watching the fun looked different, and quickly moved out of a small path and continued to talk as Ouyang Jing walked in.
"I don't know what happened to the Ouyang family, why are there so many officials coming?"
"Who knows, those evil men are not a good thing."
"No, the Ouyang family just set up a drink yesterday to celebrate his grand juren. The juren didn't have to kneel down when he saw the high-ranking official."
"It's not just that you don't have to kneel down. The juren master really doesn't want to arrest and interrogate him if he really commits a crime. He has to seize the juren's fame first..."
"Isn't it Mr. Ouyang who committed the crime?"
...
Ouyang Jing listened to the comments that were pouring into her ears and her legs became weak. She bit her tongue and ran in quickly with the hem of her skirt.
Feng Cheng stood outside and thought about it, and silently followed.
The courtyard was already in chaos.
Several officials were digging pomegranate trees with hoes. The lush pomegranate branches were scattered all over the ground. Many pomegranates rolled around like small balls. One of them rolled to Ouyang Jing's feet, and the cracked crack revealed pomegranate seeds like agate beads.
In the past, Ouyang Jing would be greedy when she saw the crystal clear pomegranate seeds, but now looking at the cracked pomegranate is like seeing a bloody mouth, ferocious and terrifying.
Not far away, the two concubines looked confused and dared not come forward. The four little girls hid behind them, crying loudly.
Ouyang Jing subconsciously searched for her mother and found that Ouyang fell on the steps, with a pale face as a ghost.
She walked over quickly: "Mom, what happened at home?"
Ouyang looked at Ouyang Jing blankly and said nothing.
Ouyang Jing was even more panicked and squatted down to support Ouyang's arm: "Mom, get up first."
"Stop it!"
A violent shout made Ouyang Jing tremble all over and looked over.
Ouyang Qing looked fierce and held a shoulder pole in front of the leader: "My son is a juren, and he will be a new Jinshi after the spring exam next spring. How can you run to my house to dig randomly?"
The leader of the leader glared at Yang Wu, who was leading the way.
When this person went to report to the official, he did not say that the son of the Ouyang family had just passed the imperial examination and a family with fame and fortune would be different from that of ordinary people.
However, the adults told them to come and the pomegranate tree was excavated, so they had to continue.
Anyway, if you can't find a job, the reporter will be in trouble. As for the Ouyang family, it will be very considerate to be comforted by a few words of comfort.
The leader was very thoughtful, so he was naturally not afraid of Ouyang Qing's threat.
"Are you going to fight against the government?"
Ouyang Qing was asked by the leader and grabbed the shoulder pole tightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, our family has always been honest and honest. You suddenly ran to my house and were not allowed to ask? Is there any kingly law in this world?"
"The King's Law?" The leader pointed at Yang Wu, "Didn't it be said that people reported that you were murdered for money and buried your body under this pomegranate tree. It is precisely because there is a King's Law in the world that we, the Lord, dare not neglect when we received the report and asked us to come and verify it."
"He talks nonsense!" Ouyang Qing stared at Yang Wu, as if he wanted to eat people.
Yang Wu was so scared that he said, "Brother Ouyang, how dare I talk nonsense about this kind of thing? It was really what you said by yourself when you drank too much yesterday. Otherwise, how could I know what masters and servants who came to Beijing and what kind of pomegranate trees are like--"
"I'll kill you!" Ouyang Qing swung the shoulder pole and beat it.
"Stop!" The leader of the official grabbed Ouyang Qing's arm and his face turned pale, "Do you dare to kill someone in front of us?"
Although Ouyang Qing was very strong and he might not be able to stop the leader of the official when he struggled, he had to put down the shoulder pole after hearing this.
Killing people in front of the official in broad daylight will be really over.
"What if Xiaomin was wronged?" Ouyang Qing held the shoulder pole tightly and asked the leader.
"It's really unfair. It's not just that you're going to give your innocence in front of these neighbors. You keep stopping me and make people make random guesses."
Ouyang Qing took two steps back and seemed to calm down: "Okay, I'll dig it up, it's better to dig this pomegranate tree with the roots so that the neighbors can see clearly!"
Feng Cheng stood quietly in the yard, and after hearing this, he felt moved.
Judging from Ouyang Qing's appearance, I guess nothing can be dug under the pomegranate tree.
Sure enough, several officials dug up for a long time, and they didn't dig out any of them until the pomegranate tree fell to the ground.
"Have you dug it all?" Ouyang Qing held back his anger, "When my son comes home and sees this, what if it affects next year's spring exam!"
The leader looked at Ouyang Qing and said lightly: "I haven't dug it yet."
Ouyang Qing was stunned.
The leader waved his hand and said, "Go and dig the wood!"
Several officials immediately walked towards the woodshed with hoes.
"You dare!" Ouyang Qing shouted.
Nothing was dug under the pomegranate tree, and the leader was a little confused, but when he saw Ouyang Qing so excited, he felt relieved.
"You two hold him down to avoid getting in the way." The leader pointed to the yamen runner who maintained order at the gate of the courtyard.
Two yamen runners came to stop Ouyang Qing, and the yamen runners began to dig firewood.
There were few yamen runners at the gate of the courtyard to maintain order, and soon a group of people rushed in.
Feng Cheng stood among them, becoming more and more inconspicuous.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Ouyang Jing's anxious shouts, Feng Cheng walked over quickly.
Ouyang, sitting on the steps, looked pale, sweating heavily, his eyes closed without any response.
As soon as he saw Feng Cheng coming, Ouyang Jing cried: "Sister Feng, my mother--"
"It must be because of the stimulation." Feng Cheng squatted down, stretched out his middle finger and pinched the Ouyang family's middle acupoint.
Ouyang groaned and opened his eyes.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Looking at his crying daughter, Ouyang's eyes were dull and tears fell.
"Retribution, retribution..." she murmured, her voice low and inaudible.
"What did you say?" Ouyang Jing couldn't hear clearly, but when she looked at Ouyang's repeated mouth shape, she instantly felt cold after guessing the two words.
"The bones were dug up!" An excited shout came from the woodshed.
The leader immediately walked into the woodshed.
The people who rushed into the yard to watch the fun heard this and the buzzing discussion suddenly became louder.
The Ouyang family actually dug up the corpse!
