Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 48

After waiting for four days without any news from Wu Ying, Cheng Fu was thinking of going to Hongzexing to ask a few questions, when Ding Tong's people came to the door first.

"Our boss has some private matters, so it's inconvenient to come over these few days." The young man who sent the message seemed to know the inside story, hesitant to speak.

"It doesn't matter, he will come over when he is free." Cheng Fu didn't try to guess what Wu Ying's personal affairs were. Since she cooperated with the other party, she believed that the other party could handle the obstacles on the way.

The site of Lianghexuan is located on Anxiu Street. The shop is not big and only has a small backyard. The original layout is particularly uncomfortable. The kitchen and the hut are next to each other. The location of the toilet is more spacious and the privacy protection is better. It will be used by guests in the future, so it should not be too simple.As for the kitchen, there is no need for it. In the future, all the food for the guests will be delivered by the wine shop or dim sum shop, and she plans to provide the two meals for the shop's own people to a nearby small shop.

Cheng Han finally had time to walk around with his sister after taking a bath in the academy today.The two children were born very similar, even though the difference in height and outline between men and women gradually became apparent due to age, it was still easy to confuse them at first glance.

"Brother, go buy me fried fish." Cheng Fu couldn't sit still as the carriage passed by a row of food stalls.

"Let's go." Zhao Hui, who was in charge of driving, handed over the reins to Luo Xing who was next to him.

"I'll go." Cheng Han in the car said angrily.

The little brother hasn't been with her for quite a while, and this is a rare opportunity, so she has to show off her status as a younger sister.Cheng Han also saw that she was so thoughtful, what else could she do, of course she wanted to spoil her sister.

"I want every flavor." After paying the money to the fried fish stand aunt, Cheng Han went to the bean flower shop next to him to order a few bowls of sweet bean curd and sour plum soup.

The Cheng family's carriage was next to the roadside, and the group ate fried fish, tofu curd and sour plum soup before moving on.In the car, Cheng Fu listened to Jiujiu talk about how the two cats became "Street Fighters" recently, and smiled from ear to ear, feeling very relaxed and comfortable.

Two days later will be the Dragon Boat Festival, the streets and alleys are full of festive atmosphere, the gambling houses blatantly let people shout the game of dragon boat betting at the door, and the patrolling officials pass by, just take a look, and leave without saying anything.

"Zhaohui quickly drive the car into the alley." Luo Xing said suddenly.

Zhaohui, who was still gnawing on the remaining half of the fried fish, was taken aback, and didn't have time to ask what happened to the other party. He lost the fish, grabbed the rein and whip and waved it.The happy atmosphere of the brother and sister sitting in the car was interrupted, and they fell silent tacitly.

They were located not far from a small alley, which was why Luo Xing asked Zhaohui to drive in instead of letting everyone get out of the car.

As soon as the Cheng family's carriage entered the alley, screams came one after another from outside, and then something was overturned and smashed to pieces, making loud noises.Cheng Fu, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned when he heard Aunt Douhua's cry and Brother Wonton's scalding screams.

The alley they were in was a dead end, and if they couldn't get out, they had to turn back the same way.

After staying for a while, Luo Xing said, "You can go."

"okay."

The carriage turned around slowly and left the alley.

Because it was summer, the curtains of the Cheng family's carriage were replaced with thin gauze curtains, so you could vaguely see the outside situation without having to open it specially.The elder brother selling wontons was lying on the ground, and the neighbors rushed to treat his injuries.But looking at other places, it was a mess.

"What happened just now?" Cheng Fu asked Luo Xing.

"The children of the aristocratic family rode their horses in the city."

Judging from the tone of the other party, it is obvious that this kind of situation often happens. The people dare not speak out, but silently endure it, thinking that they are unlucky.

Cheng Fu's eyes had long since lost the joyful look before, replaced by the usual indifference.Cheng Han didn't say anything extra, and untied the purse and handed it to Jiujiu, "It should be enough to ask the doctor to take a look." Burns are not trivial, and if they are not handled properly, they may cause various symptoms and even death.

Jiujiu took the purse and tidied up the compartment before getting out of the car.

"Lord Luo is really good at predicting disasters from such a distance." Zhao Hui now has full admiration for Luo Xing.

"It was trained in the military camp." Luo Xing leisurely leaned against the frame of the car.

"Is it fun to join the army?"

Luo Xing looked at Zhaohui like he looked at a pig's head, "Do you think it's fun to put your head on your belt every day?"

Zhao Hui stuck out his tongue and wanted to say something, but Luo Xing suddenly disappeared. He hurriedly looked around and found the back of the carriage, at the side of the bean curd stand, Jiujiu fell on the bean curd scattered all over the floor, and Luo Xing Xing grabbed a man's whip, and the man was riding on the horse, staring down at Luo Xing.

The brothers and sisters of the Cheng family in the carriage also noticed the strangeness, so they opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Jiujiu didn't cry, she just slipped on the ground, she fell twice before getting up, her body was extremely dirty.Aunt Douhua looked apologetic, looking for clean water everywhere, trying to wash her.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Han habitually kept his sister behind him.

Luo Xing let go of the horsewhip of the other party, "You still want to hurt people while riding a horse in the street." If it's other people, he can't control it, but if he doesn't care about his own family, he can't get through in front of his master.

Cheng Han raised his head and asked the person on the horse, "How did my maid offend Your Excellency?"

The other party was impatient, "This untouchable is in the way of my young master, and beating her is considered light."

"Da Viet's law, it is strictly forbidden to ride horses in the city during non-wartime. Anyone who violates the law will be sentenced to three years of corvee service. If anyone is injured, he will be sent to the northwest as a city-building slave." Cheng Han said without hesitation.

The other party was obviously not familiar with the law and didn't care. He raised his whip with a sneer, "What is the law of Da Yue? Even if my young master kills you today, who can do it."

Luo Xing caught the whip again. Seeing that the two sides were about to reach a stalemate, suddenly the horse neighed three times and went mad. Luo Xing hurriedly let go of his hand, but the person on the horse had no time to react, and was carried away all the way.

Everyone looked at Cheng Fu with a calm face. The dagger in her hand was still dripping with blood, and she was taking out a handkerchief to wipe it. "Let's go to the cloth shop." There is one more thing to do when I come out today. I will choose new materials to make autumn clothes for everyone in advance.

Cheng Han snatched the dagger and handkerchief from his sister and put them on himself.Cheng Fu is dissatisfied, she doesn't need her little brother to take the blame for her, but his eyes are so fierce, she can only hold back temporarily.

Wu's second room
When Zi'er was sent back, she was already out of breath. Wu Ying opened the shroud herself, and what greeted her eyes was a horrific scene of black, swollen and scars all over her body.Her forehead was dented with a blunt instrument, her tongue was gone, and her eyes were wide open, unable to close.

Ding Tong looked at the corpse one step ahead of Wu Ying, and now he has calmed down, "Master, I will arrange Zi'er's funeral." He thought Wu Ying was sad.

"Don't worry." Wu Ying put the shroud back.

"Go and invite a few clan elders now."

Ding Tong was shocked, "You are..."

Wu Ying half-opened her eyes, squeezed out a few words between her teeth, "Is there any other choice?"

"Yes, I will tie them up too."

Wu Family House
Mrs. Qin paced back and forth in Mrs. Guo's room angrily. The person sent to the second room hadn't come back to report yet, and it was unusually quiet there.

Although Mrs. Guo was sitting, her mood was no better than Mrs. Qin's. If her eldest daughter Wu Zhenrou hadn't been by her side, she wouldn't have had the patience to manage the stupid things their fourth wife did, and she would have driven this sister-in-law out long ago.

"Fourth young master did it, what are you doing to kill someone?" Guo felt that Qin hadn't told her the truth.

Qin's heart was indeed guilty, and he hesitated and couldn't answer.

"Ma'am, my master invites the two of you to come over." The woman's voice came from outside the door.

Qin's panic was even worse, she grabbed Guo's hand and refused to let go, "Elder sister, sister-in-law, you can't ignore it."

Mrs. Guo forcibly broke her hand away, "People are killed. Wu Ying is too old and has more ideas. No one can do anything to him except the master." Not sure if it can be good.

Although Zi'er is only a concubine, she has been with Wu Ying for many years, and she can barely be regarded as half the mistress of the second room.If the fourth room does this, it is impossible to give up easily if you change to a bigger room.The second room... Mrs. Guo is sure that Wu Ying will not let the fourth room go. Now it's up to Wu Lingzuo to deal with it.

Guangyao Hall

Wu Lingzuo, Wu Lingxi, and Wu Yongxu were all there. Before Guo Shi and Qin Shi came over, they had already talked for a while.I don't know what countermeasures to discuss.Guo saw that Wu Lingzuo looked like he had just lost his temper, while Wu Lingxi and his son were listless.

"Master, Master Six is ​​here."

Everyone present was a little surprised, Wu Lingzuo narrowed his eyes, he didn't invite Wu Lingxiu, why did the other party come at this time?

Wu Lingxiu was ordinary-looking, tall and thin, and became a widower at a young age. He hadn't been remarried in these years, and his knees were all concubine children born to his aunt.Mrs. Guo also reached out to his room, but was exhausted by his aunts, so she had to give up temporarily.

"I heard that fourth brother and Ah Ying are not happy." He sat down and didn't give others a chance to drive away.

Wu Lingxi wanted to make some excuses, but Wu Lingzuo's warning gaze frightened him.He licked his lips, unable to say anything.

"The Zi'er in the second room is gone, and the fourth child made trouble." There is no point in covering up this juncture.Wu Lingzuo was just curious, the sixth room has been closing the door to live his own life, never caring about the grievances and hatreds of the other rooms, what happened today.

Wu Lingxiu blew on the hot tea that the maid had just poured, and asked slowly, "Why isn't there?"

As a result, no one answered for a long time, and the atmosphere was awkward.

He is not surprised by everyone's attitude, "Why did the fourth brother kill the female family member of the second room? This is not something that can be exposed in a few words and apologies." When their father was still there, the Wu family was full of fire, and called the wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. , but the rules that should be in the family, the children still abide by them more or less.For Wu Lingxi to do such a thing, a family law cannot be avoided.

Nowadays, no one in the Wu family cares about the things of those old ancestors. As long as they curry favor with Wu Lingzuo, living in the Wu family can override all moral principles.

"Isn't this asking elder brother to intercede with Wu Ying?" Wu Lingxi felt guilty.

Wu Lingxiu didn't have much contact with Wu Ying, but he also knew that the second wife's heir was not that easy to talk to.He came here cheeky today just to see Wu Ying's reaction.

"Master... the three clan elders are here." The butler came in to report, with a look of displeasure.

Wu Lingzuo had a bad premonition, "What's the matter?" Under normal circumstances, the respectable stewards of the Wu family can ask the guests why they came, even if the other party is a respected clan elder.

"Say yes..." the housekeeper glanced at the other people in Guangyao Hall, "Third Young Master invited you here."

"What!" The Sifang family stood up straight.

"Where's Wu Ying?"

The butler looked at everyone again, "The third young master ordered Aunt Zi to be carried to the magistrate's yamen, and asked her to do an autopsy."

bah—

The small coffee table in Wu Lingzuo's hand fell to the ground, and the tea bowl was broken.

Qin couldn't hold back anymore, and screamed: "What is he going to do? Where does he want to put our Wu family?"

Wu Lingxi couldn't care less about others, "Go and stop him."

"Call Wu Ying over."

Guangyaotang was in a hurry, only Wu Lingxiu drank tea in silence.I thought to myself, why did I know this before.

"What a coincidence, uncle is also looking for a nephew?" Wu Ying stepped in carelessly, followed by three clan elders and a few more promising juniors in the clan.

Wu Lingzuo's eyelids twitched, he got up and made a gesture of invitation, "Several clan elders."
