Chapter 918 A Beaten

This is in front of the house on Moxiang Street. Due to the incident involving the old Gu family, people from the city came here in small groups to watch the excitement. As soon as Gu Chengli struck the gong and Mrs. Zhang shouted, many people gathered around her. people.

When Mr. Gu saw the crowd gathered around him, he immediately shouted with tears streaming down his face: "Shan, my dear, dad is wrong~"

Even Gu Youfu was crying beside him: "Brother... we were wrong... please forgive us."

Everyone sympathizes with the weak. Seeing the appearance of Mr. Gu and Gu Youfu, some people immediately began to sympathize with them: "Although Mr. Gu believed what Mrs. Gu said, he is still Gu Dashan's biological father no matter what. Now he is so ill. As his son, he should take Mr. Gu back and support him."

Someone heard this and said angrily: "I'm raising your father! Wei Ruandan, are you talking human language? How did Mr. Gu tease Gu Dashan's family in the past? He almost drove Gu Dashan's family to death. Why are you still here?" I’m here to speak for Mr. Gu. I’m sorry he’s not your father, and it’s not you who’s the one you’re trying to fend off, right? You feel so sorry for Mr. Gu, why don’t you take him back and raise him?”

Then he sneered: "How can you, a man like me who doesn't even support my wife, dare to support Mr. Gu? You, like Mr. Gu, are idiots who only listen to your wife!"

Wei Ruandan was famously henpecked in Fucheng. After marrying his wife, his family's shop was handed over to his daughter-in-law and his father-in-law's family, and his brother-in-law and brother-in-law all relied on his shop to make a living.

His wife was also vicious-hearted and disliked his mother, so she drove her to live in a half-collapsed old house. She was only given half a bowl of soybeans a day, making her as hungry as if she had fled from famine.

Wei Ruandan didn't even dare to fart, so he let his daughter-in-law tease his mother, and watched her daughter-in-law give big fish and meat to her mother's family.

Wei Ruandan was so angry that he pointed at the person who scolded him and said: "How dare you, a slave, to scold me? If you dare to say one more thing, I will report you to the official immediately!"

"Ah! Even though I am a slave, I am still a human being compared to you. You don't even support your own mother and let your daughter-in-law teach you. What qualifications do you have to speak to the Gu Dashan family? Gu Dashan has long since broken up with the old Gu family. Kissed!"

This servant is Shanzi, and his master is Ke Yuli, a storyteller from Shenghelou in Fucheng. Under the influence of his ears and eyes for many years, he is very good at cursing people.

After scolding Wei Ruandan, he said to the people watching the excitement: "Everyone, you are all working in the market, can't you see what Mr. Gu is thinking? He just saw that Gu Dashan's family was rich and wanted to entangle him. Gu Dashan and his family can live a prosperous life together."

As soon as Shanzi said this, the people watching the excitement felt that Mr. Gu was really pretending to be pitiful.

But some old scholars in the city are quite pedantic and value filial piety most. They feel that although Mr. Gu made mistakes, he admitted them.

I have already admitted my mistake to you, how dare you not forgive me as my son? You want to rebel against God, do you still have some filial piety?

After repeated attempts in Fucheng failed, Niu Laotong, who had turned gray at the temples, blew his beard and glared and cursed: "Gu Dashan is a son of a human being. When his father is in trouble, he should kneel down to welcome his father home, so he leaves his father in this place." Here, the law of heaven cannot be tolerated!”

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang immediately knelt down and begged Niu Lao Tongsheng: "My benefactor, please help us. Two men in our family are paralyzed, and Chengli's legs and feet are not good. We really can't live alone. If uncle doesn't care about us, our family of four will have no choice but to jump into a well!"

Niu Lao Tongsheng had been looked down upon by others all his life. Now that Zhang had to call him a benefactor, he was so excited that he immediately said: "Don't cry first. Our country in Chu is governed by filial piety. His Majesty the Emperor also pays attention to filial piety. He cares about Dashan." Dare you deny your biological father? Just wait, I will summon the scholars in Fucheng to go to the Yamen to sue Gu Dashan, and I must let him take you home and take good care of you."

Most of the people present were confused. Is this old boy crazy? Do you really want to help the old Gu family?

Zhang Sanjin was also confused. He didn't expect that the old Gu family would come here even if they were like this. He was so angry that he came to chase them away: "Ms. Gu Zhang, what are you doing? This is a house banned by the Fucheng Yamen. Are you singing a big show here? Hurry up. Get out of here, if you dare to talk nonsense in the city again, be careful of the Yamen punishing you."

But Mrs. Zhang relied on Niu Lao Tongsheng to help her and ignored Zhang Sanjin at all. She just knelt on the ground crying and refused to leave.

Zhang Sanjin had no choice but to let his men keep an eye on him to prevent Zhang and the others from misbehaving, while he ran to the government office and asked to see the ancient magistrate and tell him what was going on here.

"Sir, they obviously want to use filial piety to force the Gu Dashan family and continue to suck the blood of the Gu Dashan family. They cannot be allowed to do this."

Magistrate Gu said: "Of course I know that Mr. Gu did it on purpose, but this matter will happen sooner or later. We have no choice but to leave it to the Gu Dashan family to solve it themselves."

With Mr. Gu's virtue, as long as he doesn't die, he will bite the Gu Dashan family to death and continue to suck blood. They can't help.

And he also wanted to see how Gu Jinan would solve such a problem?

If Gu Jinan can solve this matter, this son will have a bright future; if not, then he is not worthy of his support.

"Just go back and keep an eye on them first, and don't let them cause too much trouble." The ancient prefect sent Zhang Sanjin away.

Zhang Sanjin was helpless and had no choice but to go back first.

In front of the house on Moxiang Street, Mrs. Zhang and the others were still crying and complaining. More and more people came to watch the excitement. However, except for some pedantic scholars, there were not many people who sympathized with Mr. Gu.

The reason why the people did not sympathize with Mr. Gu was because Gu Jinli raised a storyteller.

The storytellers in Fucheng were already in action, repeating the evil deeds done by the old Gu family.

Even if there is a storyteller who controls the conversation in the city, it is still very difficult for Mr. Gu and Mrs. Zhang to pretend to be pitiful and complain. If it is not dealt with quickly, the reputation of Gu Jinli's family will still be affected, especially Gu Jin'an's.

He wants to take the imperial examination and his reputation cannot be compromised.

His reputation as the head of the county case also spread to the capital city. Some arrogant scholars in the capital city were quite jealous of him and wanted to see him make a fool of himself, so they went out to encourage Niu Laotongsheng to go to the government office to sue the officials.

Niu Lao Tongsheng was so excited that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to sue Gu Dashan's family, but someone shouted: "Mr. Niu, you are a scholar. You have to put on a new robe when you go to the government office. You are going to wear old clothes like this." , how disgraceful.”

The speaker is Sanxi in disguise.

Niu Laotong was concerned about face. When he heard this, he looked at the old robe he was wearing. He couldn't help but said to the scholars who encouraged him: "You go to the Yamen first and wait while I go back and change into new clothes."

In fact, Niu Lao Tongsheng didn't have new clothes. He wanted to rent them from the store, so he didn't let the scholars follow him.

However, not long after he left, he met several beggars. The beggars beat him severely and robbed him of more than a hundred coins. They even took off his clothes and shoes.

After these beggars robbed Niu Laotong, they still disliked the small amount of money he had and scolded him: "You can't even live a good life at home, and you are talking about others. You are really not a scholar!"

After saying that, he kicked Niu Laotongsheng a few times and ran away. Judging from their running postures, they all know how to fist and kick, and these people are the people under Daqing's command.
