C22 He Who Harms a Man Shall Not Die!
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO Murderous hearts never die!
In the Zhang family's main house, Master Zhang Chengdong who was at the main house enjoyed the peace and quiet, and named his study "Meng Tao Zhai". To take Tao Yuanming to seclusion in the field, love landscape, relaxed and comfortable mood.
Zhang Chengdong was over fifty years old and was very thin. When he woke up early this morning, he first performed a round of boxing in the courtyard before the eldest girl, Mei Yue, helped him comb his hair and wash his face.
Everything had been tidied up, but he did not go out. Instead, he went into the DreamNet Lodge, where the books were in full bloom and he threw out a few ink sticks. Before he was done with the wild grass, butler Cui Da bent his waist and slowly walked into the room.
Cui Da was more than seventy years old, and was a few years older than Zhang Rong. He had been supporting Zhang Chengdong for many years, and if he were to mention Master Cui Da's name in Yangzhou, not to mention the Zhang Family, it would also be enough to shake the world.
But in this courtyard, in Zhang Chengdong's "DreamNet Landing", the renowned Master Cui Da was just a lowly servant.
"Old master, you're in high spirits today. Are you in high spirits?"
Zhang Chengdong put down the brush in his hand, and said: "You were originally in high spirits, but after being stirred up by an old fellow like you, you have become stained with vulgarity, I'm not writing anymore!"
Cui Da walked over with a flattering smile, and said while beaming: "This old servant is just a normal person, just an idiot. Well, the master has a book to read, so I thought I'd get some wine, and some wine, and some food to drink.
With your taste, the Swallow's nest abalone will probably lose its appetite, so this old servant prepared a dish for you... "
He slowly moved closer to Zhang Chengdong's ear and lowered his voice: "That little bastard from the Lu family is going to lose his balance today. Liang Shi did it! The pawn of the Liu Family's Pongo is not easy to think of, but it will definitely work. "
Zhang Chengdong frowned, and said: "I told you, it is not easy in Eldest Grandma, you want to kill two birds with one stone?"
Cui Da said with a slobbering face: "The servants don't have to worry, they also love Eldest Grandma, but since Pongo is making such a ruckus, they want to help Xu Liang and the other bastards take revenge, how do you think we should settle this? "He's trying to overturn the heavens, the servants are in a difficult position too!"
Zhang Chengdong sighed, and said: "This Wei Wan, this child is soft and kind, how come he has such a stupid brother? Where's Liang Shi? Did you not come back? "
"He's already back. I've also brought the master that little bastard from the Lu family back. He seems to be a tough nut. He's in the side yard. Do you want to take a look?"
Zhang Chengdong pouted and said: "Right next door?"
He paced back and forth, but he didn't go far. Instead, he found a rock garden and stood on it.
In the side yard, Qi Biao was tied up with all kinds of things, two burly men pushed him down to the ground, and another man stood behind him using a water stained whip, "Pa! Pa!" Slap! Clenching his teeth, Qi Biao glared at the man in the silk clothes with his eyes wide open.
Second steward of Zhang Mansion, Liang Shi, who was in his forties wearing a silk shirt and playing with a pair of large iron balls in his hands, grinned and bent over, looked sideways at Qi Biao, and coldly said:
"Brat, it doesn't matter whether you admit defeat or not, Lu Zheng this little bastard is done for! That was his life, you know? Heh, I just didn't expect that this little bastard would drag me along with him for so long.
Also, you have balls, to dare to burn Fuyun House, you have guts! "
Liang Shi moved closer to Qi Biao, used his hands to pat Qi Biao's face. Qi Biao's tiger-like eyes widened, and said: "Pui! Stop spouting slander, my Jiangning Lu Family's people are upright, we are straightforward, and have never dared to scheme against others.
My third master's fortune is great. Many people wanted to harm him, but in the end, he was still able to live on! You want to touch my San Ye like this? I don't even want to talk about you when you take a piss and look at yourself! "Haha!"
He laughed out loud and said: "If you want to fight, then fight. Our Third Master Lu is coming to pick me up later! Ever since I came to Yangzhou and entered the Zhang Family, I thought to myself, "Why is the Zhang Family the boss?"
Heh, now it seems that it really is, the servants that hit others are all motherf * * king sissy, hitting others seems like scratching an itch, is that something you learned in your Second Wife's room? "
Liang Shi's face changed, he was so angry that his entire body was trembling, he fiercely slapped Qi Biao's face and roared: F * ck, tear his mouth apart!
At the side, Zhang Chengdong's face instantly became gloomy, and when Cui Da saw this, he immediately shouted out: "Alright, alright! Why are you making such a ruckus? They were so noisy that the old master had to rest. Everyone should rest for a bit! "
Zhang Chengdong's face became ugly, and just as Cui Da was about to come over to say something, Zhang Chengdong first said: "What do you want me to see? Are you just going to watch a game of cat and mouse? Who's a cat and who's a mouse? "
Cui Da slapped his face and said, "Aiyah, it's all this old servant's fault! I never thought that Qi Biao would be so tough, but don't worry, once that little bastard is done for, he will be a kite with a broken string, and won't be able to fly anymore. "
Zhang Chengdong let out a faint sigh, and said: "This mistress of mine, she was already a troublemaker when she was young. At her age, if she married into the Jiangning, she would still complain about the Zhang family not having enough matters! She didn't have to worry about sending such a little bastard to the Zhang Family. She didn't have to be a villain or be talked about behind everyone's back.
But the wicked want us to do it. Ah, what a sin! "
Cui Da replied: Rest assured, old master, we did not let the old ancestor know about this. The old ancestor was merciful, and our servants were even worried about ruining the old ancestor's life.
Halfway through Cui Da's words, a commotion suddenly came from outside the door.
The big girl, Mei Yue, led Eldest Grandma Liu Wan into the courtyard.
Zhang Chengdong was startled. Cui Da's hands trembled a bit, but Liu Wan saw him.
She scurried over, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Liu Wan begs father for mercy, will you forgive my Liu Song this time?"
Liu Wan was at a loss of what to do when she saw Liu Wan kneel. Cui Da's face also changed as she quickly said: "Eldest Grandma, what is the meaning of this? Pongo is not here … "
Liu Wan said: "Butler Cui Da, don't you know where Song'er is? There was not only Song'er on Scenic Mountain, there was also Lu Family's Zheng Geer. This morning, Song'er was called out by the Liang Shi family. I only blinked for a moment, and my family is going to suffer a huge disaster again! "
When Liu Wan said till here, her tone became even more anxious, "The Fuyun House only burned for a few days, and now there's going to be a bloodbath. Old Ancestor's birthday is near, can't the main butler measure Old Ancestor's lifespan?"
Liu Wan's character was extremely weak, but she was respected in the Zhang Family, and she was not stupid. If she did not talk about some things, it did not mean that she did not know about them.
Today, Cui Da had used her brother as a weapon, and had touched her bottom line. Her words made Cui Da speechless, and even his face turned green.
Zhang Chengdong was even more embarrassed. He angrily scolded: "Return the slave to you. Tell me, what happened today?"
"What did you order the Pongo to do again?"
Cui Da felt wronged, but since his master had started to scold him, he could only bear with it. He secretly calculated in his heart, he felt that the time was about right.
He immediately said, "This is all because of that brat Liang Shi! This servant will accompany you to Scenic Mountain, there shouldn't be any big issues! "
Liu Wan raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Chengdong, and said: "My daughter-in-law requests daddy to take a look, if there really is no problem, daddy will also teach my daughter-in-law this great brother a lesson …"
With this situation, Zhang Chengdong could not reject. If it was someone else who dared to talk to him like that, he would definitely be furious.
However, was different from the others, the thing that Zhang Chengdong lamented the most was the death of her eldest son, Zhang Qiang. When Zhang Qiang married Liu Wan and entered the family, he was extremely satisfied with Liu Wan and felt that Zhang family would definitely have successors in the future.
After the death of her husband, Liu Wan was able to stay in the Zhang family. The entire Zhang family treated her with utmost respect, and this was especially rare, so how could Zhang Chengdong reject Liu Wan's "proper" request?
Liu Wan, Zhang Chengdong, Cui Da walked out of the courtyard together. At the entrance of the courtyard, Second Wife, his wife and Mrs. Lin all heard the news, and upon hearing that the Eldest Grandma was coming over to their master's side, they were afraid that Liu Wan would be too agitated and offend the old man, or that the old man's violent temper would scare the Eldest Grandma.
They rushed over and met head-on.
"Humph!" Zhang Chengdong didn't have that kind of expression on his face towards others. Today, he started to blame Liang Shi for being incompetent and in a bad mood.
He coldly snorted and said, "Are all of you here? Since they are all here, call Liang Shi along as well. Let's go to Scenic Mountain together for a walk. "It's fine if there's nothing to do today, but if there's something to do, I will definitely not forgive these ignorant lackeys."
After Zhang Chengdong finished speaking, he strode forward. Cui Da was already seventy years old, his back hunched as he trotted along. He wanted to talk with Zhang Chengdong, but he couldn't even let out a "huff".
Zhang Chengdong caught a glimpse of an opportunity, and coldly said. "Old thing, regarding the Scenic Mountain..."
Cui Da paused for a moment, the tone in his chest finally turned, and said: "Master, don't worry! The people around Pongo are all capable people. Liang Shi had trained them all with his own hands and is doing things smoothly! "
Hua Hanyun's voice came from behind them, and said: "I say, big sister, don't be so anxious, Pongo is your little brother, not to mention he didn't do anything, even if she did something, the old man will take care of it!
I say, it's all because of this Lu surnamed brat. He beat someone up in front of him, can you blame Pongo for taking revenge?
Although this Lu family brat is bastard son's side, but we are still closer to Pongo. For matters between youngsters, how can we control it? If a rod and stick were to stir up trouble between them, then that Lu surnamed person can't blame anyone else. Aunt is also a sensible person, how can you not let this matter go? "
