Chapter 683 Grudges
Ying Wenhai thought about it and felt that according to what Manager Ying said, since Ji Hao survived and seemed to have recovered well, he should be able to go out soon, so he stopped hiding it.
Said: "Ji Hao's mouth is too mean."
County Magistrate Tang nodded and did not refute this point.
So their first grudge was when they first met three years ago. They were both from aristocratic families and their circle was limited. Ji Hao returned to his hometown to take care of his grandmother and recuperate, so it was natural for them to meet.
The first time they met was at Mrs. Ying’s birthday party. At that time, Ying Wenhai was wearing a bright red dress for the occasion.
The boy, about twelve or thirteen years old, was dressed in bright red and had a face as white as jade. He looked very handsome.
Regardless of whether Ying Wenhai likes it or not, a group of old ladies like it very much, and Mrs. Ying loves it especially.
Ying Wenhai was not very happy to wear this dress in the first place. As a result, when he went to the front yard to entertain guests, Ji Hao pointed at him and called him "little lady". He then leaned over to touch his chin and called him "bride".
Ying Wenhai is not Manbao, he is a real man, oh no, a little man, so he was completely furious.
In addition, Ji Hao was really bad-mouthed, so Ying Wenhai accidentally forgot that this was his grandmother's birthday party and started fighting with Ji Hao.
Afterwards, his father punished him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole day, and thus the feud was formed.
What was even more unexpected was that they would study in the same academy. Ji Hao and Ying Wenhai were both spoiled by their families, so how could they possibly give in to the other?
So they fought over everything in the academy, quarreled and fought every few days, and the quarrels became more and more serious, and the conflicts became more and more serious.
In the end, both of them almost forgot what caused their first feud, and also forgot that Ji Hao had apologized to Ying Wenhai afterwards.
But Ying Wenhai didn't accept it at that time.
As for the Chunfeng Tower incident, it was also caused by the habitual fighting between the two people.
Originally, Ji Hao was admitted to the provincial school, and Ying Wenhai was unwilling to rely on his family background to enter the school, so the two of them had less interactions. Unexpectedly, when they were both teenagers, they were both taken to Chunfeng Tower by their friends to broaden their horizons.
The two of them met again when they went there for the first time, so of course they took out money to fight over it. The girl you liked was also one I liked. The two of them fought and finally spent all their private money. Ji Hao was fine, but Ying Wenhai was caught by Ying Wei and was beaten again when he got home.
This time, Ying Wenhai was very angry, which led to the subsequent fight in Chunfeng Tower.
He bribed a girl with money and promised to redeem her so that she could marry Ji Hao. He shouldn't have shown up in the first place.
In this way, if Ji Hao was scratched, it would not be his fault, and he could even make fun of him. After all, which young man would be scratched by a girl when visiting Chunfeng Tower?
If this gets out, he will lose face. Let's see if Ji Hao will have the face to go to Chunfeng Tower again.
If outsiders heard about it, they would just say that Ji Hao had no manners or had strange hobbies, which forced the girl from Chunfeng Tower to hurt someone.
In order to make the matter reasonable, he designed the murder weapon to be a silver hairpin.
County Magistrate Tang took a piece of meat with his chopsticks and asked, "Then how did he know it was you who did it?"
Ying Wenhai curled his lips and said, "We were hiding in the side room and watching. The girl was so ruthless that Lu Shiming staggered in fear, and then he was discovered."
Ji Hao was seriously injured at the time, but he was even more angry. When he saw Ying Wenhai, he knew that he had been plotted against. In addition, Ying Wenhai brought many classmates with him, so he waved his hand and the two sides started fighting.
The two groups of people fought from upstairs to downstairs. Because the fight was so loud and blood was seen, the female shopkeeper of the building asked someone to report to the police, and then the yamen runners came to deal with it.
It happened that Master Ji Er was on leave and went home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with the old lady. He was disgusted by his son's fight in Chunfeng Tower, so he sent people to capture the men and settled the matter privately with the Ying family.
In the eyes of both families, the injuries of the two men were similar, so they did not ask any further questions. They just thought they were just having an ordinary fight, so they just captured the men and punished them.
Ying Wei beat Ying Wenhai again and made him kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment.
Because Ji Hao was protected by his grandmother and mother, he avoided being beaten and having to kneel in the ancestral hall. He was only sent to live in the provincial school.
Then the wound on his chest was discovered, and County Magistrate Tang went to the Ji family to file a complaint, and the Ji family took the man back.
But this time it's to recuperate.
Originally, County Magistrate Tang thought that since the Ying family used such shady means, the Ji family would pursue the matter, and he would then have a headache about the case. However, the Ji family did not give him this opportunity at all.
He actually acted as if nothing had happened and managed to turn a big thing into a small thing. Looking back now, County Magistrate Tang didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
However, County Magistrate Tang asked, "Didn't you spend all your money the first time you visited Chunfeng Tower? Where did you get the money to bribe and redeem people?"
Ying Wenhai said as a matter of course: "I took it from home."
County Magistrate Tang asked with a smile, "You withdrew so much money at once, and your father didn't ask?"
"My mother is in charge of the accounts," Ying Wenhai glanced at him and said, "As long as my mother doesn't tell my father, he won't know."
County Magistrate Tang asked with a smile, "Who told you how to apply the paint on the silver hairpin?"
"No one told me, I just figured it out myself," Ying Wenhai said. "I have a little girl who once accidentally pricked her palm with her own silver hairpin. It took a long time for her to heal, and she was even moved to the farm to recuperate because the wound wasn't clean. I can't put anything on Ji Hao's wound, but I think rubbing something on the silver hairpin and then pricking him with it will have the same effect."
County Magistrate Tang clapped his hands and laughed, "How clever! Very good, very good."
County Magistrate Tang stood up and finally asked, "That man named Lu Shiming is Madam Ying's..."
"He's my cousin, my mother's nephew."
County Magistrate Tang smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood. "By the way, your cousin Pei Yun was there on the day of the fight, right?"
Ying Wenhai hung his head and responded, "He was also drinking in Chunfeng Tower at the time. After we got out of the fight, he came to help me, but he didn't hit Ji Hao. He was just trying to stop the fight."
County Magistrate Tang nodded, it seemed that there were still people with clear minds.
He turned around and was about to leave when he saw the dishes on the table. He remembered something and beckoned over the yamen runners, saying, "Master Ying can't finish them all. I've given them to you as a reward. Hurry and take them out."
The yamen runners were delighted and came in one after another to take away all the chicken, duck, fish and meat on the table. County Magistrate Tang also reminded them, "Eat up and don't waste it."
Ying Wenhai had originally wanted to wait until he left before eating, but he was furious when he saw this.
County Magistrate Tang smiled and said to him, "You've been hungry for two days. Eat less greasy food these days. How about this? From now on, your meals will be prepared at my house. They will all be light meals that are good for your stomach."
Ying Wenhai gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you very much."
County Magistrate Tang smiled and said, "No need to thank me, no need to thank me."
