Those things about the landlady

Chapter 45
Shu Ran lifted the quilt, sat up slowly, and Yao Jiawang hurried forward to help her.

Yun Shan also came in with a basin of water, first dressed her neatly, and then washed her up. Shu Ran simply tied her hair in a bun, and in the middle of the night, she didn't want to look beautiful, just decent.

In fact, she is beautiful, even with disheveled hair.

Although it is spring now, the power of the cold spring is still not small. In this ancient time where any wind and cold could kill her, Shu Ran dared not relax at all, and she still had to wear a cloak when going out.

The couple had packed up, and as soon as they arrived at the main courtyard, they saw a man in charge led in by the porter.

The man was quite polite, seeing the two of them saluting respectfully, he lowered his head and said, "Fifth Master, the master in our mansion died suddenly, because his death was too hasty and sudden, my old master invited the patriarch and elders to go To uphold justice, I beg you to go too."

This steward is also a smart guy, he won't bluntly say that you are suspicious, he just invites people politely and shows his courtesy.

Although Yao Jiawang planned to go there in person, he didn't intend to let others control him. He looked at the manager meaningfully and didn't speak.

This was master Yao's deliberate pressure, Shu Ran naturally cooperated, she said casually: "Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to watch the moon with me today, and I don't know what kind of rules are broken in this clan, even a trivial matter can turn heads. "

Everyone knew that she was the eldest daughter of Lord Juren, and she might not look good enough in front of other nobles, but in Yaojiatun, she could still put on airs.

The steward lowered his head even more, he knew the grievances between the two families, and he knew that coming here would not be good, but this was the master's order, and he dared not say no.

Seeing that the fire was about to start, Yao Jiawang said: "Although I don't know why your master died suddenly, but we are both members of the clan, so if I can help, I will naturally not stand idly by, so let's prepare the sedan chair."

It was said that the manager was very grateful, as long as he invited the person, the rest has nothing to do with him.

Just now it was just putting on airs, the two of them were full of posture, the more reckless they were, the more uncertain they were, and they didn't dare to splash dirty water at will.

Master Yao specially ordered the bearers to walk slowly, and it was late at night, so the couple arrived very late, and the steward went back to pay half the salary, so everyone saw them.

As soon as they entered the yard, they heard the cries of the female relatives. Shu Ran subconsciously touched her stomach, as if to comfort the little one in her stomach.

Uncle Jing seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, when he saw Yao Jiawang, his eyes were tearing apart, and he shouted: "You must have killed my Jiashun, you are a murderer, I want your blood to pay for it."

It is indeed pitiful to lose a son in old age, but in a sense, it is his own fault. Yao Jiawang ignored his yelling and protected Shu Ran to greet the clan elders.

The patriarch was very old, with gray hair and beard, but his eyes were still sharp. He was not angry, and asked in a slightly old voice: "Jiawang, what do you want to say about the accusations against your uncle?"

Yao Jiawang didn't answer him, but first helped Shu Ran to sit down, causing everyone's eyes to focus on her.

Shu Ran had never seen any scene before, she was still extremely calm, and sat down as if no one else was around.

After settling his wife well, Yao Jiawang glanced sideways at Uncle Jing, and said unceremoniously:
"Uncle, I'm afraid it's because I'm too sad. My brain is not working well. If I want to put people to death, why should I make a scene known to everyone? There are so many secret methods, and I'm not stupid."

What Yao Jiawang said is also true, he has the strength to do this, and he can hide it well.

Uncle Jing picked up the teapot at his hand and threw it at him. The Yao family looked sharp and kicked the teapot away with one kick. Immediately, the tiles scattered everywhere, everyone was shocked.

Yao Jiawang brushed off the non-existent dust on his trouser legs, and wrote lightly, "Why is uncle so angry? Although I have done something to my cousin during the day, I am very careful. It's just that it hurts him a little, it's not a big deal. hinder."

Uncle Jing admits death, he gritted his teeth and said: "You hate me for taking your property and making your brother's whereabouts unknown. You can't do anything to me, but you want to kill my only son."

Yao Jiawang sneered, and said with contempt on his face: "Uncle said something wrong, it's not that I can't do anything to you, I don't move you, it's just for the sake of grandpa and my father, my cousin died for another reason, I'm I've sent someone to report to the official, presumably Wu Zuo will arrive tomorrow, and then we'll know what the cause of death is."

Everyone didn't expect him to move so quickly, the patriarch was a little displeased, and looked at Yao Jiawang with cold eyes, "Why did you report to the officials without the consent of the clan? Do you take us old guys seriously?"

The patriarch's weight is indeed heavy enough, when he spoke, everyone fell silent, others were afraid of this old thing, but Yao Jiawang didn't take it seriously.

He pretended to be puzzled and said: "I know that the patriarchal clan can solve most of the clan's affairs, but now people are killed. Does the patriarch think that you are better than the county magistrate and Wu Zuo? You can see clearly by yourself?"

The patriarch is not stupid, how dare he compare with the magistrate of the county, he reprimanded in a cold voice: "Don't talk nonsense, if there is an accident in the clan, it is natural for us to solve it internally first, as the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, this matter How can it be child's play to shut the face of my Yao clan?"

Yao Jiawang replied without showing any weakness: "According to what you said, isn't the family law greater than the national law? Is face more important than the truth?"

Although the patriarch has accumulated power for a long time, he is old, so he is no match for Yao Jiawang. He was about to reprimand him when he saw a woman with disheveled hair coming straight to Yao Jiawang.

She seemed to be reckless, she stretched out her arms to punch and kick Yao Jiawang, with Yao Jiawang's ability, such a little force could not hurt him at all.

But the person who did it was potbellied and pregnant, Yao Jiawang didn't want to kill two people, so he could only let her move.

Shu Ran was also shocked by this situation. It was Yao Jiashun's original partner, Shen Shi, who beat her. She was more than seven months pregnant at this time, and there were all men present, and no one came to stop her for a while.

These people wanted Yao Jiawang to suffer, so naturally they would not dismiss Shen Shi. Although Shu Ran didn't take Yao Jiawang seriously, she couldn't tolerate other women touching him.

She took three steps in parallel, quickly pulled Shen away, slapped her face, and said coldly: "My sister-in-law is very well-bred, you dare to hit the uncle next door, it's because of you!" Whoever is powerful is simply unreasonable."

The scene suddenly turned into a confrontation between two women. The Shen family acted out of sheer spirit, but now that she was beaten, she also weakened, crying and shouting:
"Why can't I beat him? It's because of you man. My child has no father. It's only right for me to kill him."

Yao Jiawang stood behind Shu Ran, ready to protect her at any time.

Shu Ran said unceremoniously: "My cousin is so powerful, how did you know that my cousin was killed by my man? Could it be because you are so eager to convict my man because you have a guilty conscience and want to set the blame on me?"
