The drums have been beaten five times, and the fish belly has turned white in the east, but the streets are still empty with no pedestrians.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of horse hooves and the sound of wheels rolling over the ruts, shattering the tranquility of the dawn.
A total of ten covered carriages drove along Danfeng Street, passed through Guayi Lane, and drove slowly towards Xinjiekou.
One of the carriages was driven by Gao Wu, while Wu Yu was holding a seven-foot-long wooden stick at the rear of the carriage.
Zhao Hao and Zhao Shouzheng, father and son, were also sitting opposite each other, talking in low voices.
"More than thirty years ago, the old man won the imperial examination and moved his family to Nanjing. The house he rented at that time was the Qian family's house. The Qian family was a wealthy family in Jiangning who started out as a small businessman. They always fawned over the new rich man, the old man. We became familiar with each other. Later, the old man came to Beijing to take the exam. Under the warm invitation of the Qian family, your grandma and my brothers moved into the Qian family. Unexpectedly, something happened during this move. "
Zhao Hao nodded silently and listened to Zhao Shouzheng continue to talk:
"The old man Qian actually instructed his daughter, that bitch Qian, to seduce your uncle. Your uncle was only sixteen years old at the time, and the bitch was four years older than him!" Zhao Shouzheng looked indignant. Looking at his son, he said: "Youdao is a junior male and a senior female. They have thorns in their eyes and flesh. Do you think they can live a good life together?"
"Father, don't go off topic." Zhao Hao reminded helplessly.
"Okay, let's go back to the past." Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly returned to the topic and said: "As a result, the old man went to Beijing to go to high school. When he was watching the Ministry of Political Affairs and Industry, he was appreciated by Lord Shangshu and wanted to marry his direct granddaughter to your uncle. Naturally, the old man was flattered and said After agreeing, the two parties even exchanged Geng Tie. Then the old man immediately repaired the book and asked your uncle to come to Beijing as soon as possible to get married."
"It turns out that bitch Qian claimed to be pregnant and threatened your uncle with death. Your uncle was afraid of causing trouble, so he had to write back to Beijing and beg the old man to cancel the engagement." Zhao Shouzheng said and sighed: "My father was only seven years old at the time. , and couldn't get married for my brother, so in the end the old man had no choice but to break off the engagement."
"This incident not only made the old man lose face, but also completely offended the old minister, which greatly affected his career. As a result, he worked in the chief position for ten years. It was not until the old minister became an official that he was promoted normally The old man has always been from He was destined to be an extraordinary person, so he thought that even if he had not done this, he, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, would have done it. As a result, he was slow at one step and slow at the other. In the end, he did not get the opportunity to be appointed as the head of the Six Ministries, but only became the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing. Naturally, he felt very angry. "
"What made the old man even more worried about the Qian family was that he took leave and returned to Nanjing to hold a wedding for the two people who got married. Unexpectedly, not long after the marriage, Qian immediately said that he had a miscarriage. It turned out that the so-called pregnancy was In order to trap your uncle, the Qian family used dirty tricks. Therefore, the old man has always looked down upon the Qian family and often scolded him. Even your elder brother and younger sister are not treated well by him. "
After learning about these old grudges, Zhao Hao suddenly understood why Qian took Sister Yun back to her parents' home as soon as something happened to the old man.
¡°Obviously, after knowing that Zhao Liben could no longer turn around, her resentment that had been accumulated for many years completely broke out, and she began to ridicule and humiliate Zhao Shouye wantonly, which eventually led to the incident last night.
??~~
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped and Xinjiekou arrived.
Zhao Hao opened the car curtain. Summer nights were short, and it was already bright outside the car.
"No matter what happens, father must not get out of the car." Zhao Hao turned around and told Zhao Shouzheng: "Autumn is coming, father must avoid trouble."
"Oh, I understand" Zhao Shouzheng nodded. He is a veteran examinee, so he naturally knows the pros and cons. As long as candidates are involved in lawsuits, they will no longer be able to take part in the imperial examination.
Zhao Shouzheng looked at his son worriedly, grabbed his arm and said, "My son, be careful not to let anyone hurt you, and don't go too far. Just give him a small punishment and vent your anger."
"I have my own sense of discretion, and father can rest assured." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, and Zhao Shouzheng let go.
By the time he jumped out of the car, thirty shirtless strong men had already gotten off the car and gathered around him carrying wooden sticks.
"Young Master, please tell me, which one?" The men asked eagerly and eagerly. Now in Caijiaxiang, who doesn¡¯t want to contribute to the richest man Zhao?
Zhao Haoxin said, ¡°I don¡¯t know either,¡± and looked at the leading carriage. Zhao Xian looked around from inside the carriage and pointed at the large house diagonally opposite the high-walled courtyard.
Zhao Hao looked up and saw a plaque reading 'Qian Mansion' hanging on the lintel of the house, and sneered: "Tear it down!"
Wu Yu heard the order and immediately swung the wooden stick in his hand and threw it out. He saw the big stick flying towards the lintel of Qian's Mansion like a meteor. With a bang, he broke the plaque in half and fell to the ground.
¡°Break down the door and punch in!"Zhao Hao snorted coldly and ordered: "As long as no one is killed! "
"It's your order!" The strong men smashed the plaque and ran towards the Qian family's gate.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight big men bumped into two closed doors with their shoulders at the same time!
There was a loud bang, and the latch of the door was broken directly. The two door leaves flew open, knocking out the servants of the Qian family who came to check after hearing the sound!
¡°Fuck them!¡±
The big men shouted wildly, swarmed in with wooden sticks held high, and smashed everything they saw!
Ping ping ping pong, click click click!
In the blink of an eye, the expensive front hall of Qian Mansion was smashed to pieces
At this time, the Qian family¡¯s domestic servants finally rushed over. Mr. Qian also came from the back house with his hair disheveled and wearing slippers. When he saw that his antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and furniture were all smashed to pieces, he immediately became furious, pointed at the strong men who were enjoying the smashing, and yelled: " The thugs dare not take it down for me!"
The Qian family¡¯s domestic servants totaled about thirty, and they held iron tools in their hands The Ming Dynasty did not prohibit civilians from holding weapons, so every household was equipped with swords and guns.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although the man who looked was fierce, but only had a wooden stick, so he plucked up the courage to swarm him.
¡°As everyone knows, they are carefully selected fighting masters. Moreover, the stick is the ancestor of hundreds of soldiers. The guards in Nanjing have all learned Yu Dayou's thirty-six sticks, and even the sword skills of the Japanese pirates can be restrained, let alone these grass chickens and tile dogs with ordinary weapons.
Almost as soon as they met, the man from the Qian family was knocked away from his weapon, and in the blink of an eye he was knocked to the ground again.
The men in Caijia Lane brandished wooden sticks and beat these people on their limbs and buttocks. They are used to fighting and know where it hurts and where they can't fight.
Amidst the loud sounds of blunt objects touching flesh, screams of various tones and accents resounded throughout the Qian Mansion.
"Oh, mother"
"Ah, it hurts me so much"
"Spare your life, hero, spare your life!"
The men of the Qian family were beaten until they were rolling on the ground, screaming and begging for mercy. Some were beaten until they cried desperately. It looked as miserable as they could be.
The female family members of Qian Mansion have naturally been alarmed for a long time, but who dares to come out to check? They huddled together in the backyard, crying in fear louder than in the front yard.
Seeing that his children, grandchildren and servants were so vulnerable, Mr. Qian subconsciously wanted to run away, but his legs were fighting and he couldn't move at all.
At this time, he saw a young man with red lips and white teeth, standing outside the opposite door, looking at him calmly.
He suddenly remembered that this person was Zhao Shouye's nephew, and then he realized what kind of disaster he had provoked. Then he pointed at Zhao Hao with a stern look and shouted in a trembling voice: "Zhao boy, don't be arrogant, this is Nanjing City, I have already reported to the official, and none of you can run away!"
Zhao Hao smiled contemptuously.
Gao Wu moved an imperial chair and placed it behind him.
Zhao Hao lifted up the hem of his robe, sat down with his golden sword, and said, "Destroy the main hall too!"
Those strong men from Caijia Lane left Qian¡¯s family members who were beaten so hard that they couldn¡¯t get up, and ran towards the main hall of the second entrance.
