Chapter 61: Reporting to the police on the street (Update 1)
The Chen family's crying and screaming continued, and it was terrifying to the surrounding neighbors.
The Jia family is very powerful, but the Chen family is also an official.
Although they despised Chen Wangshi for abusing Chen Tang and Jia Yan, if the Jia family really killed someone, the Chen family would become a haunted house, and they, the neighbors...
Those who were timid would have already sent someone to secretly report to the authorities.
However, no one came no matter how long I waited.
Hum~ Are all the people from Wucheng Bingmasi and Shuntianfu dead? As more and more people reported to the authorities, the troops from both sides finally arrived.
But the one who was one step faster than them was Jia Zheng.
The carriage drove quickly towards the Chen family on Fulong Street. He opened the curtain from time to time and saw people gathered in front of the Chen family's door. He felt angry and guilty.
Although Chen Chong was his subordinate, she was a kind person and a rare friend he could find in the Ministry of Industry.
What are Big Brother and Zhen'er trying to do? Isn't that how women give birth? Even if Chen Chong's wife did something wrong, it should be Youshi and Fengjie who stepped forward.
If you think they are too young to have given birth to children, and that the eldest sister-in-law in the East Mansion is inconvenient, there is still Wang.
They were two grown men, but they came to Chen's house and made trouble, which really embarrassed him.
Jia Zheng's face looked very ugly. As soon as the carriage stopped, he lifted the curtain and jumped out.
The Chen family’s cries and sobs came into his ears all at once.
Jia Zheng, dressed in official uniform, walked hurriedly, keeping an eye on the neighbors of the Chen family. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him coming.
"Stop! Brother, Zhen'er, what are you doing?"
Jia Zheng wanted to stop the servant who was cutting someone's head, but the man didn't listen at all. When he saw him coming, he moved even faster.
“Ahhhh~~~~”
The Wang family members whose jaws were removed couldn't even scream clearly.
At this moment, every one of them had snot and tears all over their faces, and they looked as miserable as they could be.
"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"
Jia Zheng was so angry that he was going crazy.
"Uncle Zheng, are you going to protect the person who harmed my mother?"
Jia Zhen said coldly, "Or... are you in the same group with them?"
What? Jia Zheng, who was about to get mad, was stunned. "Harm... harm my sister-in-law?"
He looked towards the room where the faint sound of a baby crying came from, "Is sister-in-law here?"
"What are you doing in Huqin?"
Jia She didn't know what was going on in his brother's brain. This was the Chen family, and his sister-in-law would never give birth to a child in the Chen family. "Zhen'er, quickly deal with everything that needs to be dealt with, and report to the police!"
"beat!"
Jia Zhen swung his hand down suddenly, and those who did not have a midwife were also hit with a board.
The screams of "Ahhhh" were heard again, as if someone had really died.
"Xing'er, report to the police!"
"yes!"
Xing'er rushed out in a hurry, and the Wucheng Bingmasi and Shuntianfu Yamen officers who came over were about to meet him. They didn't expect that the Jia family would report to the police? Did they hear it wrong, or did they come in the wrong posture? "Please wait, gentlemen. I still need to hire a lawyer."
Xing'er cupped his hands and said in a loud voice, "Sue my uncle Kui for the Chen family's murder and robbery! They are trying to kill my uncle and seize the Jia family's property."
“…”
“…”
Everyone was simply stunned.
but……
"Oh, I told you something was wrong!"
A man who had seen the whole thing clapped his hands and clapped his hands vigorously. "Mr. Kui came here to save his sister's life. He brought only maids and servants with him at first, but he was beaten to a bloody mess and fell to the ground. Now..."
He looked at Xing'er, as if asking him how Grandpa Kui was doing.
Xing'er cupped his hands, "Big brother is so righteous!"
As a servant of the Jia family, Xing'er, who was determined to become the housekeeper of Ningguo Mansion, was still very good at speaking. He bowed to the people around him, avoiding Jia Kui, who everyone was worried about, and said, "Everyone, my aunt married into the Chen family. For my aunt, our Jia family can only support the Chen family.
If they were not forced into a desperate situation today, who would go to such great lengths to start a war?"
That day, Chen Tang wanted to study in the Jia family's attached school. He followed the uncle throughout the whole process and knew how difficult it was for Chen Tang.
Xing'er was filled with righteous indignation. "As the old saying goes, it is better to have a beggar mother than an official father. Mr. Chen has a new wife and has forgotten the old one. He is eating the dowry of the previous wife, but he doesn't care about the life and death of my uncle Chen Tang. The old people on Fulong Street all know that my uncle Chen Tang passed the examination and became a scholar at the age of sixteen, but in the subsequent examinations, he either fell ill or broke his legs.
With such a student in the family, who would be willing to let him have accidents one after another before the exam? They still have the nerve to say that one cannot have a family without studying. Bah, it is obvious that they want their second son to surpass him.
Everyone in Fulong Street knew about this. My son-in-law was 25 years old. Mr. Chen saw that he could not delay any longer, so he arranged for my aunt to marry him.
Poor Uncle Kui and Auntie lost their parents when they were young, and the siblings have been dependent on each other for more than ten years. After hearing that the son-in-law is indeed a noble person, and Master Chen promised to divide the family after marriage, they agreed to the marriage and married into this den of tigers and wolves. "
What? More and more people gathered around.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Oh my, that's what I wanted to know, why did Chen Tang suddenly marry the girl from the Jia family?
Although it is a branch of the Jia family, many people have seen the dowry at that time, and it was really quite large.
I didn't expect that...
"It was said that the family was to be divided, but Wang cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself. Mr. Chen did not teach his wife a lesson, but on the contrary, he accused my uncle and aunt of being troublesome and unfilial. They dragged them to the Chen Mansion without paying them a penny. My uncle was able to pass the imperial examination thanks to the support and care of our aunt and Mr. Kui."
Xing'er was so angry. He didn't know who kicked him in the lower back, and it still hurts. "What's even more annoying is Wang. After my aunt was eight months pregnant, she still asked her to wash her feet and pour water. My aunt slipped and fell, and my son-in-law wanted to go out to find a midwife that night, but was locked up in the ancestral hall."
Oh, are you trying to kill her? Seeing Xing'er's eyes watery, everyone felt even more sympathetic to the woman who was in labor and whose life or death was unknown.
"My aunt cried out in pain all night. What kind of midwife did the Chen family hire this morning? That old lady Wu is clearly a midwife for animals."
Xing'er's voice was a little split, "My uncle Kui was worried about my sister. He heard that my son-in-law didn't go to school today, so he hurried over to ask, but he wouldn't let him in. After finally finding out, he couldn't find a midwife in the surrounding streets. He had no choice but to come to our Ningguo Mansion for help.
My wife was also about to give birth, and when she heard about this, she hurriedly asked the two midwives to come over, originally wanting to ask for insurance, but where were they? "
Xing'er's voice became louder again, "They attacked the midwife. Mrs. Zhong's head was split open, and Mrs. Liu's right hand was broken. Among so many midwives and maids, they were the most seriously injured. Do you think this could be an accident?"
This can't be an accident.
Everyone was outraged.
"The Chen and Wang families not only want to kill my great aunt, they also want to kill my wife. This is intolerable. From now on, my Jia family will sever ties with the Chen family. It's fine if my great aunt and my wife are fine, but if they are..."
Xing'er yelled, "The Chen and Wang families are our family's enemies. From now on, we will fight them every time we see them."
He bowed to the angry crowd and asked, "May I ask if there are any lawyers here?"
"I'm a lawyer!"
On Fulong Street, when a man who often wrote letters and petitions to others raised his hand, the crowd automatically made way for him and said, "I know everything about this matter and will definitely write the petition."
"Thank you, sir!"
Xing'er bowed deeply, "Please follow me in, sir and all the officials."
The noise outside was heard by everyone inside. Jia Zheng stood there in a daze, having no idea what day it was.
Is Chen Chong that kind of person?
Is the Chen family going after the eldest sister-in-law?
This this...
He was pulled aside in a daze, staring blankly at the people from the Wucheng Bingmasi and the yamen runners from Shuntian Prefecture picking up the people who had put their chins back on one by one.
"My Lords, the people whose heads were hit and whose right hands were broken were the ones who beat up the midwife and my Master Kui."
Xing'er knew that there were some things that his master couldn't say, for fear that the lawyers and the yamen runners would see the miserable condition of these people and sympathize with them again. "My master Kui was hit on the head and hasn't woken up yet. We don't know whether he is alive or dead."
“…”
“…”
The yamen runners, who had just felt a little sympathy for the Chen and Wang families and felt that the Jia family was too cruel, couldn't help but be a little more serious when they mentioned detaining these people.
"Thank you for your help, everyone."
Jia Zhen rarely bowed to the yamen runners and was very satisfied with Xing'er. "Xing'er, you will follow up on this matter." At this point, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, carry our people up and go!"
Before he finished speaking, the maids who had been prepared long ago carried Jia Yan out, covered tightly.
"Yan'er, Yan'er..."
Chen Tang's tears fell, and he suddenly knelt down, "I, Chen Tang, will no longer be a member of the Chen family, and I beg you, uncle, to take me in."
With a thud, he hit his head on the ground.
“…Have you thought about it?”
"I've made up my mind." Chen Tang's tears fell on the bluestone slab, soaking a large area. "The lives of our family of three have already been lost once by the Chen family. Even if I, Chen Tang, owe the Chen family something, I have paid it back this time. From now on, I will take my mother's surname and change my name to Liu Tang."
"Okay! Take it with you."
A spring stool was put over, and Chen Tang was helped to lie down on it shakily, his eyes still on his motionless wife.
After his mother passed away, all the warmth in his life was given by his wife and Kui Ge'er.
After a while, the door of Chen's house opened and eight people were carried out.
The one walking in front was known to everyone as the aunt who had just given birth in the Jia family. Unfortunately, she was covered too tightly, and no one knew whether she was alive or dead.
The next one was Chen Tang, who was not covered with anything, his collar was covered with blood, and his face was as pale as paper. Behind him was Jia Kui, who was covered with a quilt, but his face was covered with blood, his hands were hanging, and it was also unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Oh my! The Chen family is so cruel!
It turns out that no stepmother is a good person.
After everyone looked at the baby in the cradle with sympathy, they quickly looked at the five people behind them. Alas, they also had blood in their heads and were unconscious.
“Look!”
Behind them were seven people who were limping, with cloth strips hanging from their hands and blood on their bodies.
This is a real fight, no wonder there are so many screams inside.
The three masters of the Jia family got on the carriage with gloomy faces, and a group of servants carried the injured and moved slowly forward.
At this moment, no one said they were Hao slaves.
Everyone silently made way and watched them leave.
The wailing in the Chen family courtyard was still going on, but with the presence of Manager Chen from Huichun Hall, all the injured had been treated. No matter how you looked at it, they were better off than the Jia family just now.
Chen Chong arrived only at this time.
The carriage stopped, and the crying sound in the house made his heart tighten, so he jumped down and rushed in.
"Bah!" An old lady was so angry that she shouted from behind: "What the hell?"
In just half an hour, the news of the bustle on Fulong Street spread.
Some people said that someone in the Jia family had died, and some people said that the Chen family's yard was full of blood...
The people at the Imperial Emissary's Office couldn't help but look over here a little more.
Unfortunately, the Chen family’s door was closed and I couldn’t see anything.
They had no choice but to go back to the Shuntian Prefecture government office.
At this time, Jia Zhen and Youshi were extremely worried.
The two did not dare to tell Shen Ning about this.
Shopkeeper Chen said that the mother was old and could give birth prematurely at any time if stimulated. At this time, if the two midwives were injured and could not take care of the delivery...
Jia Zhen walked back and forth in the room.
He has already sent several groups of people out to look for midwives farther away, hoping that those people were not bribed.
"Don't go around in circles."
You was very angry.
If Jia Zhen had run faster at that time, the two midwives would not have gotten into trouble.
"Even if we escape today, mother will ask about the two midwives tomorrow."
There is no need for anyone to tell this, they can't hide it.
They had to tell their mother in person that Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Liu could no longer take care of the delivery.
Whenever she thought about the possible harm her mother might have suffered, Youshi wanted to kill someone.
"Find a few more, then..."
You gritted her teeth and said, "I will accompany my mother."
If anyone dares to move, she will kill her entire family.
“…”
Jia Zhen patted his wife's hand silently and said, "I'll listen to you."
His voice was trembling.
He has been very uneasy ever since his mother became pregnant with his second child.
He finally had hope and he also had some expectations for the second child. But who would have known that someone would dare to attack his mother and the second child in front of him.
Jia Zhen really wanted to find his father.
Although he inherited the title of Ningguo Mansion, he knew that it was his father who always supported the family.
It was no use for him to jump up and fight with others, but it was better for his father to just stand there quietly.
now……
Jia Zhen wiped away the tears that were about to flow, "Please help me take good care of my mother. I will thank you for the rest of my life."
Youshi: “…”
Her eyes were red too.
She leaned gently into his arms, "Mother is not only yours, but also mine. I will risk my life to take care of her."
Not long after she got married, her mother followed her father to the Taoist temple.
Even though she came back a few times a year, they didn't spend much time together, so she didn't know how good she was.
But now…
"You also need to investigate Jia Kui and Chen Tang. This matter may be more outrageous than we imagined."
"I know!"
Jia Zhen hugged his wife and said, "I've asked Jiao Da to investigate. If there's a problem..." He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll wipe out his entire family."
If anything happens to his mother, no one will have an easy life.
All those he doubted, don't think they can be at ease.
At this moment, Jia Zhen's eyes seemed to have a ferocious wolf living in them, and he no longer had the peace he had before.
The second update will be in the evening. Please vote. Any vote will do. . .
