Five hundred and fiftieth chapters stay away
Zhuzi also helped Yongxiang bring an invitation to Datou. Datou took the invitation and wanted to speak, but stopped. First, he was that his fourth brother didn't say anything and he didn't dare to go, and second, he didn't know how much it would cost to eat this wine.
Han Xiufeng knew him so well that he knew that he actually wanted to join in the fun, so he simply asked him to go back to the inner house to Guan Cuihua to get ten taels of silver, and then went with the pillar that had just received ten taels of gold from Qin'er.
As soon as Datou and Zhuzi left, Eun-jun got up and said goodbye.
Mr. Fei went to the opposite "Moxiang Pavilion" to see Goudan write big words for a while, then returned to "Tingyuxuan" with a purple clay teapot, and asked curiously: "Zhixing, what is the name of the little girl who came yesterday afternoon?"
Han Xiufeng was stunned and put down the book he had been looking for from "Houyitang" a few days ago and smiled: "It seems that he is called Lan'er, not my family hired, nor did I buy it. It was because the two Lady Ao saw that Cuihua was about to give birth, and there was no one to serve her, and she was clumsy and asked her mother's daughter to help take care of her."
"I said why that girl is so diligent and sensible. She turns out to be from the Ao family."
"I remembered what you said. I have to ask Xiaoshandong to go to the Ao family to report a letter and tell them that Datou has been promoted!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I have to let Xiaoshandong say it quickly, so that they can be happy."
Han Xiufeng said he would do it, so he immediately got up and opened the door, asking Xiaoshandong, who was sweeping the fallen leaves outside to go to the Ao family to report the good news. Mr. Fei looked back and thought about it and asked curiously: "The woman who cooked at noon looked familiar. I seemed to have seen her somewhere."
"You always talk about He's wife Ding, right?"
"That old mom is Manager He's wife!"
"It should be that there is no one else in our family."
"Shopkeeper He has some money, so how could his wife come to our house to be an old mom?" Mr. Fei felt very strange and looked incredible.
Han Xiufeng brought it to the door and sat down: "I didn't come to our house as an old lady, but when I saw Qin'er was pregnant and had difficulty moving, she came to help for a few days. She also took this opportunity to come... to repay her kindness."
"Repay kindness, what kind of kindness she wants to repay?" Master Fei Er was even more confused.
Han Xiufeng sighed lightly and explained with emotion: "You don't know that she has a 14-year-old daughter who was born with a 'three-petal mouth' (rabbit lip). When she was born, Manager He saw such a 'freak', he planned to let the shopkeeper take her to drown or find a place where no one was thrown away."
"This is actually the case!" Master Fei was shocked.
"I just knew it soon," Han Xiufeng took a sip of tea and then said, "Ding was reluctant to throw away the flesh that fell from his body after ten months of pregnancy, so he hugged Manager He desperately. Manager He had no choice but to throw away the door in anger. He never hugged the child again, and never gave him a good face. He even locked the child at home and did not allow the child to go out, so as not to be embarrassed."
"No wonder I don't know. It turns out that he was ashamed to say that he didn't want others to laugh at him." Master Fei reacted and thought about it and asked again, "What happened later?"
"Later, Ding raised her little daughter with great difficulty. Even her name was chosen by her own name. She could imagine that this was said that her daughter's life was even worse than that of Coptis chinen!" Han Xiufeng paused and then said, "Last year I took Datou, Cuihua and Yu'er returned to Beijing. She and her eldest daughter went to the guild to help cook. I accidentally heard Cuihua and Yu'er talk about rare things about Shanghai with Mrs. Ji, who was still alive at the time. I heard that the foreign devil doctor in the Shanghai Concession really used the knife like Hua Tuo, and he was still pestering him to use the knife to help Ren Yu'er put his feet. She asked in a strange way whether the foreign devil doctor could cure the 'three-petal mouth'."
"Can the foreign devil doctor be cured?" Fei Erye asked subconsciously.
"It's a coincidence that although Yu'er has never seen how foreigners can cure the 'three-fold mouth', she has heard more than once in Shanghai that foreign devils can cure it, and as far as I know, it can be cured."
"What's going on later?"
"Ding finally saw hope, but how could she send her daughter to such a faraway place for treatment, let alone to ask a foreign devil doctor, so she could only keep this matter in her heart. Until ten days ago, I asked Manager Wen, Manager Chu and Manager He to help find a smart and reliable girl, accompany Yu'er out of Beijing, so that Yu'er would not have even spoken along the way. She was ecstatic when she heard the news, and she secretly exchanged all the gold and silver jewelry she dowed with her parents for silver, and sent it to me with her private money secretly accumulated over the years. She knelt down and begged me, begging me to ask Yu'er to take her Lian'er to Shanghai for treatment."
"It's really pitiful to all parents in the world!" Master Fei sighed and asked again: "Did you agree?"
"It's not me who agreed, it's Yu'er who agreed. Yu'er felt pitiful. Before Qin'er and I could speak, she took the money and pulled Lian'er into her room."
"Does Manager He know about this?"
"I didn't know at first, but it was not until Lian'er and Yu'er walked away for several days. I don't know if I felt guilty or worried that I would mistakenly think that he was so kind. I came here a few days ago and sent 500 taels of silver."
"Did you accept it?" Mr. Fei asked with a smile.
"I have accepted it, why don't I take this silver?" Han Xiufeng smiled, and then changed his mind: "It was just for his daughter to collect it. I will save the silver for her daughter first!"
"Ambition and deeds, you are truly a Bodhisattva's heart."
"What am I a Bodhisattva's heart? The real thing is Ding. It is not easy to be a mother to do this."
"Well, it's not easy to think about Ding."
Mr. Fei asked about his family clearly, then looked at Han Xiufeng and asked, "Zhixing, do you have something to do in the evening and have social engagements?"
"It's okay, there's no social engagements?"
"Then Yongxiang invites you to have a drink, why don't you go?"
"The general he just became was recommended by Lianshun. Do you always say I dare to go?" Han Xiufeng asked back and said, "I have heard of Lianshun for a long time. I have heard of it when I was in Ba County."
"You've heard of it when you were in Ba County?"
"I heard that he was even included in the "Criminal Case Collection" not because of something else, but because of a case in the eleventh year of Daoguang."
"Are you saying that Lianshun committed an incident in Daoguang 11th year and was included in the "Criminal Case Collection"?" Mr. Fei asked in surprise.
"He didn't do anything, he was just implicated." Han Xiufeng put down the teacup and explained with a smile: "He has a younger brother named Lianfeng. At that time, it seemed to be from a certain yamen. His younger brother had a slave... If he remembered correctly, he seemed to be Chang Zaiqiu. Chang Zaiqiu bought another slave's daughter for his son and became a daughter-in-law for his son. As a result, his wife thought that his daughter-in-law was lazy and unfilial, so she poisoned her daughter-in-law to death. She was worried that the poisoning was exposed, and she poisoned the girl who had just hired at home to death."
"This woman's heart is too toxic!"
"Let's not talk about whether the woman's heart is poisonous or not, let's talk about this case. After Chang Zaiqiu learned that his wife poisoned her daughter-in-law and the girl who ordered her, she not only did not report the official, but also concealed it. After his wife finished the case, she hid someone else's house and lied that she was staying there. Chang Zaiqiu also ran to Lianfeng's brother, a family member of the left wing general of the Jingying camp, and told him about the murder of his wife poisoning her daughter-in-law and the girl who ordered her. Not only did the family member of Lianshun, not only did he report the official, but also allowed him to live in the house. Later, he was discovered by the soldiers from the North Camp of the Infantry Commander of the Yamen, so he called a few street soldiers to capture him."
"Have it been held?"
"At first, I didn't take it, but I was beaten by the Lianshun family. Later, things probably got worse, and no one ran away. One of them was arrested and taken away by the infantry commander's yamen."
Han Xiufeng thought for a while and then said, "If that woman just poisoned her daughter-in-law, then this case would not be difficult to stop. After all, 'the punishment cannot be punished by the doctor, the courtesy cannot be subject to common people, and the law should not be imposed on the venerable'. Therefore, the mother-in-law kills her daughter-in-law as usual, and only a few thousand miles away. However, the poisoned daughter-in-law is a slave, and the maid in the family was also poisoned to kill her. The case will not be difficult to stop, and finally she will go to the Ministry of Justice."
Master Fei Er really couldn't figure it out and couldn't help but say, "Why can't it be easy to stop?"
"Because Chang Zaiqiu and Chang Zaiqiu's wife were originally slaves of Lianfeng. The slaves poisoned the maids who were both slaves. Some people said that they were slaves who killed the slaves and should be determined according to the law of fighting between the slaves. Some people believed that although Chang Zaiqiu and Chang Zaiqiu were slaves of Lianfeng, they were also "elders" and "venerables" in their own homes. The maids who poisoned their own homes should be treated according to the law of intentionally killing the innocent slaves, which means that they did not need to pay their lives, as long as they were sixty rods, they were all submissive for one year."
"How did you break it in the end?"
"The Ministry of Justice and the Departments have searched through the laws and regulations, but have not found similar cases. After more than a year of struggle, it was finally determined that although the slaves were lowly, they also had father-son and husband-wife relationships in their respective families. In this regard, slaves are no different from ordinary people. If a slave adopts children of a household for their adopted children, or marrys a daughter as a wife, it is a good citizen to become a pariah, and naturally they should be treated as ordinary people.
The maid bought by Chang Zaiqiu Liqi is originally a slave to others, and it is not a good person to become a lowly person. In terms of status, it is more understandable to make a maid to buy a child than to adopt an abandoned child. From the perspective of grace, slaves and adopted sons are no different. If you weigh the pros and cons, Chang Zaiqiu's maid killed the maid to death, you should follow the rules of deliberately killing the adopted son.
Because Chang Zaiqiu didn't buy the girl for a long time, his wife poisoned her to death and should be punished according to the murder of the employer and should be punished by hanging. As for poisoning her daughter-in-law, it was obviously a misdemeanor and there was no objection. In the end, the two punishments were added together, and the woman who was sent to Chang Zaiqiu traveled two thousand miles and was sent to Xinjiang as a slave, and was not allowed to pay for atonement."
Master Fei Er reacted and couldn't help but ask bitterly: "Is Lianfeng and Lianshun famous for this case?"
"Everyone in the yamen, especially the old masters of the various yamen, know about it. By the way, Lianshun was also implicated because of this matter. Because of the family slaves, they were covered by the Ministry of Service and even beaten the servants."
"But it has been so many years since this matter. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with Yongxiang's treat!"
"Second Master, I just talked about this case, but I just said that I had heard of Lianshun, and the reason why I didn't go to eat this wine was because of something else."
"What's the reason?"
"Because Lianshun is not a good official, in March of the 23rd year of Daoguang, the late emperor ordered him to be the counselor of Yarkand, but he was just for personal gain after only seven months. Later, under the recommendation of Prince Ding, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was impeached again as the Minister of Rites. When he came back to be the Censor of the Left Capital, he was impeached by his subordinates. Anyway, I guess he, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, was not long."
Thinking that the position of the Nine Gate Admiral was so jealous that he didn't know how many people were staring at him, Master Fei suddenly reacted: "Yongxiang climbed up to Lianshun's high branch and walked very close to Lianshun. If Lianshun is unlucky, Yongxiang will most likely be implicated!"
"If it weren't for climbing the high branch of Lianshun, could he be promoted to general?" Han Xiufeng asked back and sighed: "Ronglu and Wenxiang reminded him that he couldn't listen and had to flatter him, and he really flattered him. So we have to stay away from him in the future so as not to be implicated in the future."
"What should I do if Zhuzi and Tie Suo do? Do you want to remind me?"
"The pillar iron lock is just a small boss and has little to do with them."
"Where is the big head?"
