Chapter 1 Extermination of the Family
In the spring of the 20th year of the Qian Dynasty, Zhoujia Village outside Qixia City.
The most talked-about thing in the village recently is that Rong Si of the Zhou family just married a woman who was vomiting. Within a few days, someone from the Yamen came to find her, and she became the talk of the village. .
Mrs. Chen held the broom and looked at the officials who were led in by the village chief. Her legs were so frightened that they became weak.
"Village chief, this is..."
Looking at the festive colors in the yard, the village chief sighed and said sympathetically: "Something happened to your fourth daughter-in-law's natal family,"
"What?" Chen's voice became louder, attracting Zhou Rong who stayed at home.
Zhou Rong is the only scholar in the Zhou family. He has a cold and elegant face. Even though he is wearing coarse clothes, he still has an indescribable temperament, which makes it difficult for people to ignore and underestimate him.
"Rong Si, this is an official from the city, saying that something happened to your wife's family," the village chief said hurriedly.
After greeting them politely, Zhou Rong frowned and asked, "Didn't they go to Beijing? What happened?"
"Let the official tell you," the village chief said, stepping aside.
Probably because they felt that Zhou Rong's momentum was overwhelming, they didn't make things difficult for them. They directly took out the official document and said: "The Xi family went to the capital, but they met gangsters on the way and all their money was robbed. Not to mention, the Xi family didn't There is no one left alive, but the female family member died in such a tragic manner that everything is disfigured... The government found out that everyone in the Xi family is dead, except for one girl who married here. I asked you to collect the body so that she would not die in a foreign land without a place to bury her. nothing!"
"Oh my god!" The Zhou family and those watching the excitement all gasped and were frightened when they heard that the Xi family had been wiped out.
Zhou Rong frowned slightly and controlled his expression extremely well.
"I am the son-in-law of the Xi family. If I go to restrain myself, what else do I need to do?"
"Daughter of the Xi family..." the official reminded.
"My lord does not know, but my wife was injured before we got married. She has been lying on the bed unable to get up since she got married. She is dizzy even when she goes to the ground, even if she does not go far away. She must not be able to make it," Zhou Rong explained.
Seeing this, the two officials didn't feel embarrassed and said directly: "Then you can go, but you definitely can't do it alone, and you have to bring money with you."
When it comes to money, everyone in the Chen family looks bad.
When Zhou Rong got married, the Xi family alone had to take away thirty-two taels of silver as a betrothal gift. Adding in the rest, the family not only had no money, but also no money for Zhou Rong to take the exam.
If this was to bury Xi's family, they would have to pay another sum of money, which made the Chen family very reluctant.
"Please tell me a place so that we can pack up and get there," Zhou Rong said without changing his expression.
"It's not far," the official told him of a place and gave the official document in his hand to Zhou Rong. "You can go there when the time comes and give this official document to him!"
Claiming the body is much simpler, as long as someone is willing.
It would take two days to travel not far away, and the body would have to be pulled back, which would be very fatal.
Zhou Rongchu sent the village chief and officials away without any surprise. Before he said a word to his family, someone next to him shouted carelessly: "Sister-in-law, your wife is not only rich in wealth, but also unlucky. She has not entered the door."
He was very sick, and for those who didn't know, he thought he had done something dirty. He was so happy that he started vomiting as soon as he entered the house."
