It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 42
From Mu Liuyun giving orders, to Yuan Jia and Yuan Yi and two brothers pressing Guo Hongqing to the ground, the whole process was really fast, until Guo Hongqing felt like his arms were about to break because of the pain, his cheeks were on the ground and he howled in a muffled voice , only managed to call Guo Houfu's attention back, took a closer look, his proud eldest son was pressed to the ground like a chicken, and he jumped in a hurry.

"Bullshit! Bullshit! You bastards! Who told you to take my son?! My son Hongqing is a first-class scholar! You don't need to kneel and salute when you see Kongzhi County! You are so bold, how dare you be so rude in broad daylight!" He stretched out his hands in a hurry and took two steps forward, as if he wanted to rush over to pull away the eye-opening officer who was holding his son, but after being glared by Yuan Jia, he stopped under his feet again, spinning straight on the spot. .

"Since you dare to come and get people, there is a reason. Boss Guo wants to know, so I will tell you." Seeing that he did not dare to approach Yuan Jia and Yuan Yi, Mu Liuyun felt relieved for a while, and sure enough, he Afraid of Yuan Jia is not because of cowardice, but because of human nature, "Your daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ye, went to the temple to burn incense and eat fast, but she hasn't returned yet. Is there any such thing?"

"I told you earlier that my daughter-in-law burnt incense and prayed for the old man in order to fulfill her filial piety because her grandmother was not healthy. Is this a sin?" Manager Guo heard Mu Liuyun mention Ye Shi, his eyes were a little flustered.

"It's not a sin to burn incense and pray for blessings, but who's daughter-in-law went to the temple to burn incense for ten days and didn't return?" Mu Liuyun sneered, "I found a female corpse outside the city the day before yesterday. Your daughter-in-law only came to get someone today! Guo Hongqing is an official of the Ye family, and his wife has not returned for many days.

"Naughty! It's really nonsense! How can there be such a reason! Today, no matter what, I can't let you take me away without any basis and confusion!" Guo Houfu moved a few steps back and forth, and finally did not dare to approach Yuan Jia, after thinking about it, turned around to block their way, with his arms outstretched, looking like he was about to play a rogue.

When he stopped like this, the family members who were waiting on the side also surrounded him, forming a human wall.

With so few people, they probably couldn't stop Yuan Jia and Yuan Yi. If he really wanted to escort them away, it wouldn't be too difficult, but Yuan Mu always stood with his eyes down and didn't say a word. Mu Liuyun speculated in his heart. As he should have other intentions, he didn't intend to take people away directly, so he didn't say a word, as if he was stunned by shopkeeper Guo.

It's okay to say that others are deadlocked, but Guo Hongqing is really sad, his arms are twisted behind him, the pain is unbearable, and he is a spoiled one on weekdays. , I know that he was pressed to the ground with his arms twisted, but I don't know, just listening to the miserable howl, I thought it was something like this or that.

Soon his screams attracted other people. The female family members of the Guo family heard the sound outside, and came out of the inner house to see what was going on. Several maids supported the first middle school, one old woman and two women, and they were upside down. Small steps came from the other side of the veranda.

The sallow-faced woman in her 40s was an acquaintance to Mu Liuyun, and she was Guo Houfu's wife, Wan Shi.

This Wan Shi is a powerful character, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, he is not forgiving when he is reasonable, and he has to stir up three points if he is unreasonable. Before, because of some inexplicable disagreement between the two families, he even went to visit Mu's house, saying it was a visit, In fact, he went there to find fault, stabbed with a gun and annoyed Mrs. Mu, choked her breath for a few words, and then was blasted out.

Behind Mrs Wan, who was supported by several maids should be Guo Houfu's old mother, Mrs. Guo. The old lady's hair was almost white and her body was thin, but she walked steadily under her feet. Chilled appearance.

When Mrs Wan came to the front yard, she saw Guo Hongqing who was pinned to the ground at a glance, and immediately screamed.

"My son! Who is so courageous! Even today's dignified scholars dare to be treated like this!" Before she could rush over, the angry scolding exploded, "My son is a disciple of the Son of Heaven, so you are not afraid of the heavens. Blame it!"

Mu Liuyun was originally given a headache by Guo Hongqing's shouting, but after hearing the scolding from Mrs. Wan, he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Mrs. Guo is serious! Reluctantly, there will be a palace exam later!"

Wan Shi originally looked at the people in the courtyard, but some people still didn't understand the situation. Hearing Mu Liuyun's words, he looked closely and recognized her, and even pointed at her nose and said, "Who am I at my house? So bold, it turns out to be you! The books your mother paid for you to read are all read into the dog's stomach? Why do you treat me like this in broad daylight!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Without waiting for Mu Liuyun to speak, Mrs. Guo opened her mouth one step at a time, and she scolded her daughter-in-law first, "The kid from the Mu family is working in the yamen, and he must be the one who came to the door today. There is a reason, there may be other misunderstandings here, let's ask it clearly first, the left and right are neighbors, and there is no hatred. Will deliberately embarrass Hong Qing!"

Mu Liuyun glanced at Mrs. Guo a few times, and felt that the old lady had more heart than Mrs. Wan. Although she said this politely, she was beating herself with every sentence. If her actions were really inappropriate , there are many more charges that can be detained!
"Mrs. Guo, why do you want to take Guo Hongqing away? We have already told the shopkeeper Guo the reason. Your daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ye, went out to burn incense for many days and did not return. We found a female body outside the city. Ye Shi, who has been missing for many days.

My wife has been missing for many days and has not reported to the officials. Guo Hongqing is very suspicious. We have to take him back and ask him to clarify. We didn't need such a big battle to bring people back.

I see that the old lady is sensible, and I also hope that the old lady persuades the shopkeeper Guo not to be impulsive and confused, and complicate the original simple things, which will cause trouble for everyone. "Mu Liuyun followed suit and said to Mrs. Guo politely.

"What? Maybe something happened to my grandson's daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Guo was taken aback when she heard this. She turned to look at Mrs. Wan, and then at Guo Hongqing, who was pinned to the ground and screamed again and again. She sighed and said to Mu Liuyun. Said: "On weekdays, my grandson's daughter-in-law is the most filial to me, and she is also the closest to me. She left home a few days ago to pray for me. If you want to ask anything, just take my old lady away and ask! My grandson has been busy preparing for the province recently. Try, Shi Chang lives in the academy and rarely returns home, so I don't know about it!"

Mu Liuyun didn't expect Mrs. Guo to say such a thing, and she couldn't really say that such an elderly lady was brought back for trial. She was thinking about how to respond when suddenly a servant of the Guo family ran in from outside out of breath.

"Master! Master! Come, come!" He said to Guo Houfu out of breath, "The prefect brought someone here!"
