Daming heir

Chapter 227
Fame has always had two sides.

Good reputation, bad reputation.

During this period of time, Ren Hengtai, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites who has been splashed with dirty water and notorious all over his body, can hardly close his eyes for a moment and sleep peacefully.

Because the servants in the family bear the name of the Ren family, they will be pointed out whenever they go out, and the people with a sense of justice will directly throw everything they have on the servants of the Ren family.

So far, the entire Zuo Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of Rites is like a dead city, no one dares to leave the gate of the mansion.

The mansion was even more deathly silent, and the servants didn't even dare to breathe out as they passed by the master and his wife.

The niece whose parents died early, was bullied by the elders of the same clan all alone, and was taken in by Ren Hengtai in the mansion as a daughter-in-law. In the past few days, she has had three troubles and wanted to hang herself to clear her and her uncle's innocence. .

That gambler and lustful nephew was also severely beaten by the elders of the clan. After the people in front of the Hongwu Gate complained for Ren Hengtai, he was directly thrown into Ren Hengtai's house by the elders of the Ren family, and knelt down until fainted.

The niece and daughter-in-law, who was already in labor, shed tears all day long, and in front of Ren Hengtai's wife, almost took all the infamy on herself.

Today, Ren Hengtai with a withered complexion, a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and messy hair is sitting blankly in front of his study door, looking up at the blue sky.

Now such a thing happened in Yingtian City.

Ren Hengtai, who originally wanted to sit on the seat of the Ministry of Rites, had nothing more to ask for. He even felt that after the anger and anger of the people in the city subsided, he really should write a memorial and submit it to the emperor to beg for the bones and return home. .

"master!"

"master!"

"Something has happened, my lord!"

While Ren Hengtai was thinking about how he should write this memorial to beg for bones.

There was a burst of croaking from the servants outside the courtyard.

This made Ren Hengtai feel unhappy immediately, and frowned.

He saw that the old servant who had been by his side for many years almost crawled up to him, waving a piece of paper in his hand.

"Why is it so urgent and dry, and what is the proper way."

Ren Hengtai habitually scolded the old servant, but his eyes were attracted by the piece of paper that kept appearing in front of him.

Running all the way here from the backyard, the old servant was already sweating profusely, panting heavily, swallowing saliva, reached out and wiped his face indiscriminately, and handed the paper to Ren Hengtai panting.

"My lord, my lord. Things have turned around! My lord doesn't have to resign and go home!"

No need to resign?

Ren Hengtai frowned, stood up quickly, and then bent down to pick up the paper from the old servant's hand.

While Ren Hengtai was reading, the old servant was ecstatic and said: "This old servant only found out this morning when he secretly went out to buy food for his family. Yesterday our neighbors and familiar people in the village all ran to In front of the Hongwu gate, I called out for you, Master."

"Everyone is not only complaining for you, but also telling the people in the city about our family and the master's good deeds."

"Right now, many people in the city are starting to slap themselves, claiming that they regretted talking so badly to you, Master!"

At this time, Ren Hengtai was walking on the paper with his eyes wide while listening to the old servant's words.

After a little effort, I have read the words full of paper into my heart.

"Okay!"

"Hurrah!"

"Now the old man wants to see how those guys who use all kinds of tricks should deal with themselves!"

……

"Tell me, is the news on this paper yesterday true?"

"What is true and false? There can be falsehood."

"Those old guys half buried in the soil, can they really do such a thing?"

"Why can't it be?"

"But we found a literate person last night, and he told me the contents of it word by word. As for our family outside Yingtianfu City, the old man looks good on weekdays and often opens a porridge shop. Donate to the surroundings. Unexpectedly, in the disaster year, I bought a little girl in the countryside who was only ten years old to warm her feet in winter."

"Hmph! Warming your feet is nothing. You can't tell where you want to warm your feet after you warm your feet!"

"It's really a crime, you really deserve to die!"

In Yingtian City, one of the teahouses, like all other places where people can chat, is full of new gossip.

In the Zhangjia tea shop, more than 20 people gathered at a table to discuss the sudden extra gossip last night.

"Couldn't it be damned, it's really a trick on the surface."

"Hey...Speaking of which, we really wronged Ren Shilang. If it wasn't for his neighbors and villagers, we wouldn't know that Ren Shilang has done so many good deeds."

"Ren Shilang is a noble man. Let's not talk about this. He is a servant, so he is naturally generous. We scolded his family yesterday. At worst, we will send two catties of meat to his family to apologize."

"That's what it should be. When the time comes, call us to make an apology together."

"Damn, it's this group of people, they really deserve to die, they are inferior to beasts!"

"That's right! It's these eggless dogs!"

For a while, the teahouse was full of curses, looking like they were fighting against each other.

They really hated those who made them lose two catties of flesh in vain.

"You said, our family outside Yingtian City knows about it. But there are other families above, which family are they? It's really devoid of conscience."

Someone suddenly asked curiously, shaking his head and looking at the good people around him.

When even someone who knew the inside story pushed away the crowd in front of him, he pushed his butt again when he got to the table, and pushed the people sitting on the stool away.

After making enough gestures, he sat down peacefully.

While everyone was curiously waiting for an explanation, the man frowned: "I'm thirsty."

"Quick! Where's my boy! Serve tea, good tea!"

The guy who didn't know where he was squeezed to for a long time, immediately shouted from outside the crowd, and the best tea was brought up in a short while.

The man took a full sip of the tea that he was reluctant to drink in the past, and wiped his mouth contentedly.

"You don't know how to read this matter, you still have to follow the clues to see it."

"Let's see, it says that in this family, the patriarch of the family occupies a full three-bedroom daughter-in-law, and even wants those grandchildren to marry wives and go home for him to enjoy. Isn't this the Zhao from Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangxi? Home."

"There is also this one, who forced Heli, a tenant in the countryside, to keep him at home, just to feed his stupid son who was already in his 50s. He also took in a boy and a girl who were out of luck, but only 13 years old. He was murdered at the age of ten. This is the Shi family of Baoqing Mansion in Huguang."

"Also, what's written on it is that my old wife died and I married a new wife. I can't do it myself, but I let my personal servant make peace with the new wife in front of my face. This is Huang from the Chizhou Mansion. Family."

"and this……"

As that person came one by one, there were continuous gasps in the whole tea shop.

Just at this moment, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the teahouse, accompanied by a burst of shouting.

"Those old bastards are on Lion Rock!"

"Go and see if those utterly devoid of conscience have any face!"

With a bang, the whole teahouse became lively, and everyone rushed out of the teahouse.

The guy is still asking for tea money later.

The shopkeeper got up from behind the counter, looked at the crowds outside, and slapped the counter: "It's a lot of money! Close the shop, and go to Lion Mountain with us!"

……

Seen from the sky above Yingtian City, the flow of people in the entire city presents these strange moving lines at this moment.

All the streets and alleys, people are rushing towards the west.

And at the foot of the small Lion Mountain, there are already a lot of voices.

The narrow mountain climbing road is already crowded with people, wanting to rush to the top of the mountain.

On the top of a small mountain, there is an elegant house, and the gate is closed at this time.Outside the gate, the people who had inquired about the news earlier, were already full of breath. After throwing the vegetables they just bought this morning into the courtyard, they threw all the things that could be picked up on the ground into the courtyard.

The entire courtyard was silent, except for the banging sound of things being thrown in.

As more and more Yingtian people with a sense of justice and mission rushed up the mountain, the entire Lion Mountain soon became overcrowded.

The officials and servants of Yingtianfu and Shangyuan County, who arrived belatedly, just took a look at the people who covered the whole mountain like ants, and several leading officials almost fainted.

"Quick! Call the officers and soldiers from the West City!"

"Have someone report to the Department of General Administration and the Department of Pedestrians, and let the imperial court come forward!"

At the last moment, Ying Tianfu Tongju, who was still the most responsible, yelled loudly, then rolled his eyes, and fell backward into the arms of the most robust and quick-sighted guard.

The guards of Yingtian Mansion and Shangyuan County looked at the unconscious adults in their arms one by one, glanced fearfully at the people all over the mountain in front of them, trembled with fear, and hurriedly dragged the adults to a remote place. place.

Some people went to the camp in the west city to find officers and soldiers, and some people went to the east city to inform the court about the situation on Lion Mountain.

……

The incident on Lion Mountain quickly spread throughout Yingtian City.

The news also spread into the palace from outside the palace.

In the side hall of the Zhongji Hall, more than a dozen princes who have been out of the Ming Dynasty in recent years, except for the Qin King Zhu Xi who is still carrying on the task of Zhejiang Road, neatly gathered around the old man to talk about the parents.

In the apse, there are also princesses from various families leading the girls in the palace and younger men, talking about the strengths of the men of each family, and of course they are just talking about the good ones.

In the side hall, Zhu Yunxi is playing Go against Zhu Gaochi at the moment.

The more polite cousins ​​watched the battle silently around the two of them, but kept raising their brows and looking at Zhu Yunxi with puzzled eyes.

They all regretted that the grandson of the uncle's family turned out to be a stinky chess basket.

Bang!
A sunspot landed on the plate, blowing the entire plate of black and white into the air.

Zhu Yunxi's face was dark: "Let me let you go!"

Zhu Gaochi held a white piece and smiled silently: "It's one more time..."

Zhu Yunxi said indignantly, "I'm the grandson!"

Immediately, a cousin who couldn't be named for a while said, "This is what brother Xie said in advance, regardless of the side on the chessboard."

Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to search his body for a long time before he found the last golden leaf and slapped it on Zhu Gaochi's hand: "There is no money, whoever you like will get it!"

On the side, someone immediately started clamoring for the boss of the fourth uncle's family to end.

At this time, Piandian's grandson Gou'er had already rushed in, standing at the entrance of Piandian, he forgot to glance at the overcrowded Piandian.

Seeing that he couldn't get into the emperor's side.

Sun Gou'er looked at the men from the old Zhu's family present, so he stamped his feet and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the people gathered on the side of Lion Mountain, who are they going to denounce!"
