Chapter 1184: Snatching Someone
When Fu Wenhua came to visit, everyone was stunned. Bai Dalang led the three children out to greet him. Even Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Liu came out to meet him.
Upon closer inspection, Fu Wenhua found that he had met all of these people, except Old Madam Liu.
Needless to say, Mr. Zhuang was somewhat famous among the literati in Luojiang County. Occasionally, when the county school held a larger event, he would stand below and listen to County Magistrate Fu's speech.
Fu Wenhua was often taken by his father to be influenced by the literary atmosphere, so he had seen him before, although they were not familiar with each other.
Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang were taken by Mr. Bai to visit County Magistrate Fu's home. Especially during the Chinese New Year, the gentry of Luojiang County would invite County Magistrate Fu to dinner and drinks, and occasionally they would bring their own children along, and everyone would brag about their own children.
The person that Mr. Bai usually brags about is Bai Dalang.
Before Bai Shan became famous, Bai Dalang was considered one of the most talented young men in Luojiang County. After all, it was not easy for him to be admitted to Mianzhou Prefecture School at such a young age.
Usually, when County Magistrate Fu said that his son was unruly, Mr. Bai would bring up his second son and say that his youngest son was also very naughty.
Mr. Bai gained a lot of favor from County Magistrate Fu through this method of sympathy.
So at this moment, when the two parties met, Fu Wenhua's gaze slid from Bai Dalang to Bai Shanzhouman and then settled on Bai Erlang. He then reached out to hold Bai Erlang's hand and said, "Mr. Bai Er, it's been a long time."
Bai Erlang had just been stabbed in the heart by his brother, and he also held Fu Wenhua's hand with tears in his eyes, "Master Fu, it's been a long time."
Three people on the side: ...
Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Liu felt amused and asked Fu Wenhua a few questions. Knowing that County Magistrate Fu and his men would soon arrive in the capital, they smiled and asked Bai Daluo and his men to entertain the guests well, and they left the space to them.
The group of children moved to the small garden and placed their dinner there.
Fu Wenhua looked around and said, "Your house is bigger than my second sister's."
Bai Shan said: "Rented."
Fu Wenhua had heard Butler Xu's analysis and knew that for a family like theirs, renting a house would be better than buying one, so he snorted and said, "That's better than my second sister's house."
The servants brought the food, and they ate and talked. Manbao asked him, "Will your parents make the decision for Sister Fu Er?"
"Of course I will," Fu Wenhua said without hesitation, "Butler Xu said that once we rent a house, we'll go get my second sister out. Oh, and I'd like to ask for your help."
He said, "My second sister just gave birth and she must be in poor health. If we snatch her away, will we hurt her?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "When we went there that day, we found that the Yue family didn't have many servants. You can hire a few more people to stop the servants, and then you can carry Sister Fu out on your back. It's best to go at noon when the Yang energy is high. You can padded the carriage well, and once you carry the child out, you can carry the child and go."
She said, "If you're worried, I can wait in the car. Once you're in the car, I can take care of you."
Fu Wenhua's eyes lit up. "Then it's settled. Do you know where in Beijing I can hire someone reliably?"
He said, "My second sister will have to come back in the future, so the people I hire can be fierce, but they can't be violent, they can't hit people, they can't damage things, and they have to obey orders..."
Manbao then looked at Baishan.
Bai Shan pondered and said, "The laborers out there don't know how to control their strength and are hard to follow their employers' orders. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. I know a few friends. I'll introduce you to them tomorrow. You can borrow a few servants from them. If you're afraid of men being too heavy-handed, you can borrow a few strong women from them."
"However," Bai Shan looked up at him, "Didn't Zhou Wu brother tell you that our family is in trouble right now? It's okay for us to look for you, but you come and get so close to us..."
Fu Wenhua said indifferently: "Butler Xu didn't say anything was wrong."
Bai Jilang: "...Do you trust your housekeeper so much?"
Fu Wenhua looked at him curiously, "I don't trust my housekeeper, so how can I trust yours?"
There's nothing wrong with this, but it doesn't seem to be the answer to his question.
Bai Dalang coughed lightly and interrupted them, "Hurry up and eat, Erlang, you haven't finished your homework yet."
Bai Erlang said confidently, "You have a day off tomorrow, so you don't have to go to school."
So you can take your time to write your homework.
Manbao asked, "Aren't we taking Fu Wenhua to see Yin Huo tomorrow? We're going out, so you don't have to do your homework?"
That’s right, the friend Bai Shan planned to introduce to Fu Wenhua was Yin Huo. Although he didn’t say it out loud, they were quite familiar with each other in the capital, and it was only Yin Huo’s family who would send someone to fight for them.
Feng Zongping's grandfather was the Minister of Justice, so it was impossible for him to do something that violated the law knowingly. As for Liu Huan, he would help, but the servants in his family probably wouldn't listen to him.
After all the calculations, Yin or Huo is still the most suitable.
He was the darling of the Yin family. Although the servants in the family didn't like to listen to him before, ever since he stabbed himself, his grandmother and sisters didn't dare to say anything harsh to him, let alone the servants.
That's because when he points to the east, he will never look to the west, and when he points to the north, he will never think of the south. It is easiest to borrow people from him.
Yin Huo was indeed very straightforward. He agreed as soon as Bai Shan mentioned it, and even asked Fu Wenhua, "Are you just going to snatch the person? Do you also want to snatch the dowry?"
Fu Wenhua: "...Can you still snatch the dowry?"
Yin Huo tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Aren't they fighting over the dowry? I remember my second sister mentioned that when the aunt from Duke Su's mansion was clamoring for a divorce, Master Cheng brought his retainers to Duke Chen's mansion and brought back all the dowry. The two families even had a brawl in the street."
Manbao's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked excitedly, "Is there such a thing? Why did they want to divorce? Did they divorce in the end?"
Bai Shan and others also pricked up their ears to listen.
Yin Huo smiled and said, "It happened seven or eight years ago. I was still young then, so I don't remember it clearly. I only vaguely heard my sisters talking about it. It seemed that it was because the Duke of Chen's son was hanging out at a brothel, got drunk outside, and came back and bumped into his wife. They argued and even got physical, so the wife came home crying and demanded a divorce."
He chuckled and said, "Duke Su had only two daughters. One married far away, and the other lived right under his nose. He was heartbroken, so he had his three sons catch their son-in-law and beat him up. Duke Chen's son was dissatisfied and spoke rudely. His wife was even more reluctant to go back after hearing this. She insisted on getting a divorce and wanted to take the child with her. The Cheng family simply went and snatched the child and the dowry away. The guards of the two families started fighting in the street, and finally it came to the emperor's presence."
Bai Shan's eyes flickered as he asked, "Is anyone dead?"
