"I plead guilty, I plead guilty!! I was wrong, I deserve to die!! I was drunk and accidentally injured Yu Hang, and I was afraid of taking responsibility, so I falsely accused him of stealing! Please forgive me, forgive me!!" Zhang Dongming had already Frightened, he hugged his head and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
This Zhang Dongming is indeed a good hand in business, otherwise how could the nobles in the capital come to Tanggu, a small place, to customize furniture. But aside from being stingy by nature, this person has another fatal problem, that is, good wine is like life, and the quality of the wine is still very poor. Every time you drink, you will get drunk, and every time you get drunk, you will have violent tendencies.
Either fight with the people around him, especially those apprentices from poor backgrounds, or think of some dirty ideas to toss them. Therefore, the apprentices in the shop usually do not work for a long time, and they will find ways to escape from the sea of suffering. If there is really no way, they will suffer like Yu Hang until they can't bear it and die.
Yu Hang is the one who has persisted for the longest time among the apprentices. He is diligent and cautious in doing things. The master chefs in the store also take good care of him, so he is rarely caught wrong by shopkeeper Zhang.
However, the drunk shopkeeper Zhang was like a mad dog, biting people indiscriminately. When he was drunk, even the master chef in the shop wouldn't give him the slightest face. At this time, the apprentices in the shop would suffer, and Yu Hang couldn't escape the fate of being beaten violently.
This time, the master master in the shop went out to purchase wood, and took away another tall and tall apprentice to help, leaving Yu Hang to practice planing wood in the backyard. Teach him some basic carpentry skills.
Yu Hang was also practicing very hard, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Zhang who was invited to drink came back staggeringly, so drunk that he had nowhere to vent, so he murdered Yu Hang in the backyard. Not only did they face each other with fists and feet, but they also picked up wood that could be seen everywhere, and beat the thin Yu Hang to the head and face until he vomited blood and stopped moving...
It's not that shopkeeper Zhang has never done anything about beating people to death. He never cared about the lives of poor apprentices who had no money or power. He was beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave. A few days later, the body was dragged away by wild dogs. After there were no clues and evidence, he bit back and took his clerk to the apprentice's house to ask for someone, saying that the apprentice stole the shop. belongings escaped. The cowardly family members of the apprentice had to kowtow to him in turn to apologize and beg for mercy.
He also knows a thing or two about Yu Hang's family background. He is an ordinary poor boy from a fishing family who has made a living by fishing for generations. Even if this kind of brat with no background and no status is killed by mistake, he has nothing to fear. Who would have thought that today Rongxuan Academy Xiumu, the kid surnamed Yu actually had a younger brother who was studying in the academy, and he came to visit him today—that was how his deeds came to light.
It's okay to be exposed, just catch a mistake and send these poor ghosts away. Shouldn't those poor fishermen at the bottom be all timid and afraid of getting into trouble? Why can a girl's film make him run to the sky? It's okay to make an oath, why did he fulfill the oath today, causing him to be punished by lightning...
For the present plan, I can only kneel down and beg God to be merciful and merciful, to forgive him this time! Zhang Dongming's forehead hit the ground with a thud, and when he looked up, his head was already bruised and purple: "I made a mistake, I plead guilty! I am willing to bear all of Yu Hang's medical expenses! If there is an emergency, I will be solely responsible for the funeral money." !"
"Bah! You surnamed Zhang, don't curse my brother!! How big is it to have two stinky money? You know, people are doing what God is watching!! You have committed too many crimes, and God will take care of you!!" Yu Xiaocao When the thunder and lightning fell, she was protected by her father. At this time, she took a step forward without fear, standing in the midst of the lightning, like a child from the upper world.
Yuan Yunxi stood among the crowd, looking deeply at the awe-inspiring and fearless little girl in front of her, a touch of respect and an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart.
Although the shopkeeper Zhang disapproved of the girl in front of him, he didn't stop bowing to God, and he kept admitting his mistake. As he pleaded guilty and begged for mercy, the dense thunder and lightning gradually thinned out, and the thick dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.
Among the Tang people who had witnessed this scene, the legend that "everything bad will be punished by thunder" gradually spread.
And Yu Hang, who was diagnosed as hopeless by the Tong Ren Tang doctor, slowly opened his eyes after the dark clouds cleared, and with a weak voice, called Liu Muyun who was crying beside him, "Mother..."
The onlookers commented one after another: "God opened his eyes, not only punished the wicked, but also saved Yu Hang's life..."
"Xiao Sha, are you awake? Do you feel any discomfort?" Yu Hai asked softly to his frail son while supporting the weeping wife.
On Yu Hang's thin face, he tried to squeeze out a comforting smile, and said with difficulty: "Father, mother! I'm fine, I made you worry..."
"It's all mother's fault, it's all mother's fault! If I had taken you home earlier, my son wouldn't have suffered such a big crime..." Liu cried until his eyes were swollen to the point that he couldn't open it, frightened. After a day, I am exhausted physically and mentally.
Seeing her brother struggling to sit up, Yu Xiaocao hurriedly stopped her and said, "Brother, you have broken three ribs. Dr. Sun just picked them up for you, so don't move around! Mom, it's a good thing that brother woke up, don't cry You are not in good health, lest my brother worry about you."
"Brother, let's go home! Daddy and Shitou will protect you, so no bad people will bully you!!" Xiao Shitou's eyes were as red as a rabbit, and he comforted Yu Hang with a crying voice. Yu Hang tried his best to smile at him.
But Yu Xiaocao turned around and said to Shopkeeper Zhang who got up from the ground: "Shopkeeper Zhang, let's take my brother back, do you have any objection?"
"Uh... It stands to reason that if you take it back before the apprenticeship period is over, you will have to pay liquidated damages..." Shopkeeper Zhang quietly glanced at the dark clouds that were going away, tried his best to straighten his body with weak legs, and spoke in an official tone again.
Hearing the news, Shao Wednesday, who hurried over from the pier, got off his horse and squeezed into the crowd. Hearing the shameless words of shopkeeper Zhang, he sneered and said, "The surname Zhang! We haven't paid for the injury. Forget it with you, you still have the face to ask for liquidated damages!! How about we go to the county government and talk about it?"
Zhenxiu Restaurant has been developing rapidly recently, and the private rooms have been reserved for three months, and with the backing of the Zhou family of the imperial merchant, how could the shopkeeper Zhang not know the owner of Zhenxiu Restaurant
"Sir Zhou Zhou, I wonder what relationship you have with this Yu Hang?" In Zhang Dongming's view, one is the son of everyone, and the other is a poor fisherman. But from the tone of young master Zhou this week, why is he on the side of the surname Yu
Zhou Zixu didn't bother to brush the dust off his clothes, and inquired about Yu Hang's injury and the details of the incident, then he squinted at the shopkeeper Zhang who had been neglected by him for a long time, and said solemnly: "This Miss Yu , is the girl I recognized! Anyone who bullies my sister will be in trouble with me on Wednesday!!"
Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes fiercely in her heart: Zhou, when did this girl become your sister? We're partners at best, aren't we
Zhou Zixu seemed to feel her slander, he turned his head and gave her a comforting look, then turned his head and looked at shopkeeper Zhang with a half-smile. The thin back of the little boy seemed to grow taller at this moment.
Shopkeeper Zhang can get along like a fish in water in the mall, so he naturally knows what kind of people he can offend and who he can only be careful with. Although the third young master of the Zhou family is young, he is valued by the old man of the Zhou family. Naturally, his future is not a problem.
What's more, he has a very close relationship with the son of County Magistrate Wu, and this matter is his own fault. If it gets into trouble with the county government, he may be the one who suffers.
Zhang Dongming immediately performed the unique skill of "changing faces", his face was full of smiles, and he said: "This old man is really blind to gold and jade. Since Mr. Zhou helped to intercede, this old man will just look at Mr. Zhou's face and sign the contract." Return the contract to the Yu family..."
Seeing Yu Hang's tragic situation on Wednesday, he felt angry and shameless at Shopkeeper Zhang's cruelty. He cut off Shopkeeper Zhang's words and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Zhang, you don't need to look at my face! What is right and what is wrong, when you arrive at the county The yamen will know for themselves!! Simo, go to the county yamen to report the case, and say that the shopkeeper of Zhangji woodware shop caused serious injuries after drinking... "
"Wait a minute, wait a moment!" In the cold spring, Zhang Dongming's bluish forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He immediately bowed and said repeatedly, "Master Zhou, what do you say, this old man will do as he pleases!"
On Wednesday, Young Master turned to look at the silent Xiaocao, and asked softly, "Xiaocao, what should the shopkeeper do with this chapter..."
"The shopkeeper Zhang beat my brother, causing my brother to be seriously injured to the point of death, causing serious physical and mental harm to my brother. The mental damage fee is waived, and the medical expenses, nursing expenses, lost work expenses, nutrition expenses... These should be borne by the fault party. Also, shopkeeper Zhang falsely accused my brother of stealing and damaged my brother's reputation, so he must solemnly apologize to my brother in front of everyone!"
Zhou Zixu saw the little person in front of him, with his hands behind his back, pretending to be an adult, speaking clearly and logically, and felt the cuteness of the little girl even more. He couldn't help showing a warm smile in his eyes.
"Did you hear that? Medical expenses, nursing expenses... and so on, for the sake of the folks in the village, it's cheaper for you, so I just give you a hundred taels, isn't it too much?" Zhou Shao faced his friends as warm as spring , Facing the enemy is as ruthless as winter.
Originally, he was going to ask the lion to ask for three to five hundred taels, but he was afraid that Xiaocao and his family would make an excuse to blackmail people, so he offered a fair compensation.
Shopkeeper Zhang didn't dare to say anything. His heart was dripping with blood, and he still had a smile on his face. He nodded and said: "Not much, not much! Master Zhou's conditions are very fair, very fair!"
On Wednesday, Shao Shao took the one hundred taels of silver bill from the shopkeeper Zhang, and signaled to Yu Hang who was lying on the donkey cart: "The compensation has been paid, so apologize quickly! We are still waiting to go to the medical clinic for a review." !"
Asking him to apologize to a poor apprentice, the shopkeeper Zhang really couldn't get over this hurdle, but if he didn't apologize, he might be taken to the county government office—in that case, he would lose all face. On the balance, he still pretended to be sincere, held his nose and apologized to Yu Hang.
