Idle courtiers

Chapter 272 Hatred Makes People Strong
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhou Nan woke up cheerfully, and dealt with the backlog of business affairs that had been accumulated a while ago.

As soon as it was finished, a yamen servant ran over in a panic: "My lord, it's not good, it's not good."

Zhou Nan knew this person, he was old Guo's soldier, a powerful thug, who was following Deputy Envoy Guo to mention Tanpo and Shi Niangzi.Now that you come back alone, could something have happened over there?

He suddenly felt something was wrong and asked, "Where is Mr. Guo?"

"It's at Yu's house. There seems to be something wrong there. Deputy Envoy Guo didn't know what to do, so he sent the younger one over to ask the Elder Master to take a look."

Zhou Nan stood up with a loud bang, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the yamen quickly, ignoring the ceremonies.

Baigezhuang is the size of a township in later generations, with one street horizontally and one vertically, and it will arrive in a short while.

But I saw that there was a big house in front of me, with white walls and green tiles, which looked very grand.

A servant from the yamen had come to welcome Mr. Zhou in. The inside was very spacious and clean, a typical landlord's house.This house alone is worth hundreds of taels of silver, no wonder Tan Po and Shi Niangzi regard Yu Er as a rich man.

When I entered the main room, I saw that it was full of people, and people were talking in a mess.

Lao Guo's voice was especially loud, and he seemed annoyed: "Tan Po, get up for me, you are a traitor, don't pretend to be garlic."

"My lord is here!"

With the shout of the yamen servant, the people in the house fell silent at the same time.

Zhou Nan looked at it intently, her heart trembling.I saw a plump and fair middle-aged woman and a five or six-year-old child kneeling on the ground.In addition, a barefoot old woman with slanted eyes and mouth drooling was lying on the bench next to her.

The woman prostrated herself on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The woman, Shishi, brought her mother, Tanshi, and the youngest son, Shiyi, kowtowed to the elder."

Zhou Nan: "Master Shi, raise your head."

That woman looks pretty good, with regular features, a small cherry mouth, but the distance between her eyebrows is a bit wider, and there are spring water in her eyes, she is obviously not a serious person.

Zhou Nan snorted, then turned his gaze to the old woman on the bench, and asked, "This woman is a Tan Po, Mr. Guo, why did you become like this?"

Lao Guo said: "How do you know about this? It is said that it has been like this for two days."

"What?" Zhou Nan couldn't help crying out.

Judging by Tan Po's appearance, she must have suffered a stroke.That's right, she is also a person of her age.It is said that since living here, every meal has been full of fish and meat, and they have to drink a catty of rice wine every day.It is estimated that he has no restraint in life, was pushed by his son-in-law, and fell into a stroke.

This vicious woman has been completely abolished.

"My lord, it's just an act." After Fushi Guo said that, he shouted at Mrs. Tan: "Mr. Tan, don't pretend to be sick. The incident of you framing Yu Er has alarmed my Mrs. The law of the country must not spare you, and you still have to resort to the truth. If you are sensible, write a confession immediately."

Tan Pozi was still drooling with a dazed expression on her face, but she just ignored her.

"Still pretending, still pretending?" Lao Guo was furious, and suddenly pulled out the hairpin from the woman's hair, and stabbed at the sole of the old woman's feet, bleeding from the stab.

Zhou Nan said in shock: "Old Guo, don't mess around."

After taking this thorn, Tan Pozi's soles of her feet suddenly bled, and she cried out in pain.

Seeing Deputy Envoy Guo being so fierce, the teacher's wife and the child kneeling on the ground were so frightened that they cried.

The wrinkles on Tan Po's face cramped from the pain, she moved her lips, and said in a vague voice: "The old lady has only one life left to hang, and this situation is all thanks to Yu Er. I just want to sue for disobedience." , I want him dead!"

Speaking of this, her face was full of hatred: "Please ask the elder to be the master of the women!"

Deputy Guo was anxious and angry, and continued to stab him: "What a smelly and hard thing, that is a life, can you bear it?" Not only is it a life, but it also concerns the lives of Master Zhou and my second master Guo. Future!

In the blink of an eye, the soles of the vicious woman's feet were stabbed to pieces.

Tan Pozi couldn't help hissing in pain, screaming something vaguely.

After listening for a long time, Zhou Nan understood what she was saying: "I want Yu to die, I want Yu to die!"

Looking at her blood-red eyes and the half-foot-long saliva on her chin, Mr. Zhou took two steps back and sat down on the chair: "Old Guo, that's all, it's useless, you don't know that hatred can make a person How strong is the willpower?"

……

"I met a lunatic this time!" After returning to the yamen, our Mrs. Zhou was so angry that he dropped his beloved high imitation chicken bowl cup.

Originally, I thought this matter was simple, so I did all the evidence, and charged Wu Xinhua and Shi Niangzi with adultery.At that time, if Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Shi know each other and withdraw the lawsuit, maybe they can consider letting them go.Otherwise, they will all be exiled for three thousand miles.

Naturally, they still have to pay for the case handling funds in the yamen.

As for Yu Er's housework, Zhou Nan didn't bother to ask, as long as it didn't involve me.

Who would have thought that Pozi Tan would suffer a stroke after falling down this time.Yu Er's crime of disobedience has been confirmed, even if Zhou Nan wants to defend it, the fire cannot be covered by paper.

The crime of disobedience is too great, even more serious than homicide.He can only delay for a few days, and sooner or later he will have to report to the Secretary.Otherwise, it is dereliction of duty.

It's over, is it true that my future is going to go down the drain with this vicious woman?
After thinking for a day, Zhou Nan still couldn't think of a proper solution.

Yousi must report as soon as possible without delay.

By the way, I still have to take the additional examination for the township examination in Shuntian Prefecture. I have been busy all day and night, and I haven't even touched a book yet!
At this time, a yamen servant came to report: "My lord, there is a son outside signing the bond room, and I ask you to see him."

Zhou Nan was furious, who is so arrogant to ask my lord to meet him in person, who gave you the courage?
When he saw the person, Zhou Xing had to admit that this person had the courage to ask him to meet him, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, he couldn't afford to provoke him.

It was Ah Jiu who came, sitting there with his legs crossed anxiously.

Zhou Nan let out an aha, cupped his hands and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Ninth, what kind of wind brought you here?"

Ah Jiu closed the folding fan in his hand with a "shua", slapped Zhou Nan's shoulder heavily, and cursed: "My surname is Zhou, I always regard you as a close friend, I never thought you would do such a thing, This son is really blind."

It hit Zhou Nan's collarbone so hard that it hit Zhou Nan's collarbone, causing him to let out a low cry of pain.

The two secretary offices who signed the pledge room were horrified. This scholar, who didn't even have any fame, dared to beat Mr. Zhou. He was so brave.

Zhou Nan waved to the two of them: "You all go out and close the door, and you are not allowed to come in without my words."

When the two retreated, Zhou Nan said: "Master Ninth, what are you doing, hitting someone when you meet?"

"It was you who hit."

"Hit it again, hit me again, let me talk about something."

Ah Jiu: "My surname Zhou, you actually took my uncle for disobedience and wanted to kill him? You have such a vicious heart. Today, my son will cut off your ties with you."

Zhou Nan: "Ah, Yu Er is your uncle."

"Nonsense, of course it's my uncle. When you picked someone up, didn't you realize that my uncle and my son were cast in the same mold?"
