What eldest uncle said is very true.”
After eldest uncle Zhu Shouren finished speaking, Zhu Pingan slightly nodded his head with a look of recognition, then turned to Feng Toushu and said, “A single stroke can’t write the word Zhu, eldest uncle and my family come from the same family, how could he plot to take away my family’s land and property, Feng Toushu, don’t you dare to believe in your words and slander eldest uncle.”
Hearing these words, the eldest uncle’s body plate straightened even more, the heart is no longer burdened, some complacency, for his own ability to improvise praise. Had I known it was this simple, I wouldn’t have had to sneak out just now.
To be a person, the vision should be put in the long term, the eldest uncle thought deeply about this.
Now, eldest uncle was no longer worried about the property, but was looking at the upcoming courtyard exams. The swine’s son is already a sixth grade official and a scholar, so if the swine’s son is allowed to give a greeting to the top, it will be much more convenient than asking Lord Liu to do it in a roundabout way.
When he thought of this, it was as if Dabo had already seen the Xiu Cai merit flying towards him, and his face had a smile on it.
“Your Excellency, everything Ziang Sheng said is true.”Feng Toushu raised his head, excited.
“Enough, words are not evidence, am I, Zhu Pingan, a person who is biased, stop talking.”Zhu Pingan shook his head and reached out to stop Feng Toushu’s explanation, his face seemed to be a little angry, when he said that there was no proof in his words, Zhu Pingan increased his tone.
“Swine child said is very true, our Zhu family is also poetry and books farming and reading family, husband son said warm, good, respectful, thrifty, let, my Zhu family is also the example of the lower river ……”Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren stroked the short beard on his chin and spoke in a staccato manner.
Feng Toushu emotionally collapsed a bit, he said the truth ah, how come Lord Zhu does not believe it? Moreover, today’s measurement of the land, or even the matter of tax collection, it really wasn’t my idea alone, it was really your eldest uncle who came to me first, and took thirty taels of silver, and only then did today’s matter come about.
If I have to fight this alone, it’s definitely not as good as if I have to fight it with two people.
The word of mouth is no proof?
Spoken word without proof ……
Huh, think of it, I have evidence ah, I have evidence of the Lord Zhu, suddenly remembered what Feng Toushu, all of a sudden excited again, I have evidence of, and then reached up in the sleeve fumbled up, and then pulled out a written and pressed handprints out of the paper.
“My lord, I have evidence, my lord please look at it.”Feng Toushu unfolded the paper with both hands and held it up.
“Surprisingly made a note?”
Zhu Pingan seemed to be a little surprised, raising his voice a few points before sweeping a glance at his eldest uncle without a trace. Then, landing his eyes on the note, he swept it, and the entire contents of the note were reflected in Zhu Pingan’s eyes.
“Making a Deed as a Covenant
Today, Zhu Shouren of Xihe made a contract to entrust Feng Wei of the Huai Ning County Yamen to go to Xihe on the following day to measure the field of the second brother’s family to help with the transfer of property matters, and I am not proud of it, but I will voluntarily pay twenty taels of silver, and I will make the contract as a proof that I shall not speak differently, and that I shall never turn back from the rolling stone of the high mountain.
Contractor: Zhu Shouren (朱守仁) and Feng Weizhong (冯卫中) and witness: Tang Deji (唐德基).
On the 29th day of the 4th month of the 31st year of the Jiajing reign.
Zhu Pingan is just a sweep of the note, not even a second, but also just swept a glance, saw a black shadow flashed, with a wind, and then saw the eldest uncle Zhu Shouren as if a tiger rushed over, without saying a word will be Feng Toushu in the hands of the whole of the note snatched over, and then torn in half, and then without delay stuffed into the mouth, three times a couple of bites, gulp sound swallowed into the stomach.He swallowed it into his stomach with a thud.
At this moment, as if Liu Xiang possessed the body, the hands of the eldest, quick action, snatch, tear, bite, swallow, a breath of air, running water.
Feng Tushu, who was holding up the note, only felt a gust of wind blowing by, and then looked up again, the note in his hand had already run into Dabo’s stomach.
The surrounding townspeople all looked dumbfounded ……
Zhu Pingan quietly watched the eldest uncle tear up the note and swallow it into his stomach, with a smile on his face, the purpose has been achieved.
At this time, no paper is better than paper.
“Goo ……Thud ……A bunch of nonsense, I don’t know where to find the paper also want to come to deceive my swine child, I can’t just sit back and do nothing, humph.”After the eldest uncle swallowed the note into his stomach, he was still very emotional and stretched out his finger to point at Feng Toushu with righteous indignation.
“You ……”Feng Toshu pointed at the eldest uncle, simply want to take off his shoes to go up to dump him a few big mouth, there is such a do not have the shame of the person, yesterday to find me can nod and ha ha waist with the grandchildren like ……
“You what you, just now you are not also called younger sister village woman?!”Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren once again filled with righteous indignation and pointed his finger at Feng Toushu, as if he couldn’t stand to look at it anymore, “In the face of the Sixth Grade Anjin, it’s just that you don’t salute, but you even called her a village woman ……”
“I ……”
Feng Toshu at the moment is simply said husky, this matter was turned out, simply to be killed.
“You what you, is not you.”Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren grasped tightly.
Feng Toushu at this moment simply have the urge to feed Zhu Shouren to eat Xiang, but after noticing Zhu Pingan’s scrutinising eyes, also disregard what the note is not a note, three or two steps to Chen’s front, the began to kowtow and confess.
“Ziang has no eyes and has offended madam, madam forgive me, Ziang is wrong.”Feng Toushu kowtowed while admitting his mistake.
“I can’t afford it.”Mother Chen shied away.
Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren saw Feng Toushu busy kowtowing and admitting his mistakes, his face could not help but rise up with a smile, as if Feng Toushu was kowtowing and admitting his mistakes, he was self-congratulatory about his own ability to improvise, based on his own ability, if he put it into the Spring and Autumn period and Warring States period, he would have to be a connoisseur in any case.
Just in the eldest uncle self-complacent, but feel a pain in the back, turn his head to see his own old man Zhu old man angrily holding a freshly broken stick, glaring at himself it.
“Father ……”Dabo’s head shrank.
“Father what father, I don’t have your uncontested sinful son!”Elder Zhu was more than angry, raising his stick to greet Zhu Shouren.
“Old man, what are you doing.”Grandmother, Old Lady Zhu, was heartbroken and rushed forward to stop him.
Eldest uncle took advantage of the situation to run behind Old Lady Zhu, woefully dodging Old Master Zhu’s stick, Old Master Zhu was in hot pursuit, catching the opportunity to hit him with two sticks.
Old Lady Zhu cried out in heartache.
Under the woeful dodging, the eldest uncle Zhu Shouren ran out of the crowd, and Elder Zhu was in hot pursuit ……
“His Excellency the Prefecture is here.”
Not far away, someone ran to remind, and soon, the governor was seen riding his horse along with a few yamen.
“Your Excellency has come from afar, I hope you will forgive me if I have missed the welcome.”Zhu Pingan smiled and arched his hand to welcome him, “My little brother has prepared crude tea and wine in my humble abode, I hope your honour does not mind.”
“How dare I, how dare I, Your Excellency has insulted my humble servant. Hearing that Lord Zhu has returned safely, my humble servant is overjoyed. I’ve long believed that Lord Zhu is a scholar of the past and present, but I’ve never seen him, so now that I’ve been called, I dare not disobey my orders.”The magistrate also bowed his hand to Zhu Pingan and exchanged pleasantries.
After a few moments of pleasantries, Zhu Pingan welcomed the magistrate to his home.
The village people also dispersed.
After about a moment and a half, someone saw Zhu Pingan and the magistrate converging out of the house full of smiles, as if they were having a good conversation.
Zhu Pingan put the magistrate on his horse and saw the magistrate and his party leave.
Feng Tushu, who left with him, looked pale and seemed to have lost his muscles and bones, just like a dead fish.
