The quiet scene made the footsteps of Uncle Zhu Shouren extremely obvious, so that Uncle Zhu Shouren, who was tiptoeing, was exposed to everyone.
In fact, as early as the moment Zhu Ping'an appeared, the uncle wanted to leave quietly, but Mr. Zhu was close to him, so the uncle Zhu Shouren had no chance to leave. While Mr. Zhu and the villagers were paying attention to Feng Hushu, the uncle Zhu Shouren quietly slipped away. At first, the uncle tiptoed away smoothly, and no one noticed. Just when the uncle was about to leave successfully, Feng Hushu's words appeared without any warning.
When Feng Hushu said that, his uncle Zhu Shouren, who had left drunkenly, did not notice it. However, when Feng Hushu finished speaking and the scene became silent, his uncle Zhu Shouren noticed that something was wrong.
When he turned his head, Uncle Zhu Shouren saw countless pairs of eyes staring at him.
Why are you looking at me like that
I just want to leave...
Uncle Zhu Shouren looked innocent, but he knew what was going on. After all, he was the one who did it, so how could he not know? Otherwise, why would he want to escape? Especially after taking a look at Feng Hushu's confession and the strange looks from the villagers, Uncle Zhu Shouren immediately understood what was going on.
When everyone saw Uncle Zhu Shouren tiptoeing away, and thinking about what Feng Hushu had just said after slapping himself in the face, everyone had basically formed a simple judgment about this matter.
As a result, the villagers began to whisper to each other, and looked at Uncle Zhu Shouren with strange eyes.
Father Zhu looked at his uncle Zhu Shouren with a complicated look. He was very disappointed with his elder brother's behavior. A few days ago, his elder brother asked him to borrow money for the exam, and he lent it to him. However, he did not expect how his elder brother would repay him. He actually joined forces with outsiders to plot against his family's land.
Mother Chen looked at her uncle Zhu Shouren with disgust. If she wasn't in such a good mood because Zhu had returned safely, she would definitely spit in his face.
Old Master Zhu looked at Zhu Ping'an, then at his eldest son who had sneaked away. His hands began to tremble, his wrinkled forehead became more wrinkled, his lips moved several times, and finally he let out a sigh.
The reason why they believed what Feng Hushu said was that given the kind of person their uncle was, it was perfectly normal for him to do such a thing.
As the ancients said: If you don't do bad things, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. If you do bad things, you will be afraid. Judging from the way the uncle tiptoed away secretly, this matter was also settled.
"Nonsense, we are all members of the Zhu family, how could my uncle do such a thing." Zhu Ping'an looked completely unconvinced and righteously denied Feng Hushu's confession.
As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, the villagers around him sighed softly, as if they wanted to wake Zhu Ping'an up.
Ping An Lang, Ping An Lang, you are still inexperienced. Why can't you see your uncle's true face? Why did he sneak away just now? Isn't this obvious
Alas, Ping An Lang is too kind-hearted. A kind person is often bullied, and a kind horse is often ridden by other horses...
Even at this time, Ping An Lang is still protecting his uncle. Ping An Lang is really kind.
Hey, they are all from the Zhu family, why is there such a big difference... Look at Ping Anlang, then look at his uncle...
Zhu Shouren, have you learned it
... ...
Public opinion overwhelmingly favored Zhu Ping'an. The villagers all believed what Feng Hushu said and praised Zhu Ping'an. Of course, they had a different attitude towards his uncle Zhu Shouren.
Zhu Ping'an glanced at the reactions of the villagers inconspicuously. What everyone could see, he could naturally see as well. Zhu Ping'an understood his uncle's character much better than the villagers. The reason he did this was entirely due to the historical background of the Ming Dynasty.
This was a feudal society, an era when family and kinship were prevalent.
If he questioned or doubted his uncle as an elder because of a word from an outsider, he would be accused of trusting an outsider but not his own family. Of course, it was not that Zhu Ping'an had such a heavy heart towards his uncle.
There are two ways to deal with Feng Hushu and his uncle. Feng Hushu will not be tolerated. He will be beaten when necessary, but the method should be particular. It is said that when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner. Feng Hushu is a clerk under the magistrate of Huaining County. Although he is a higher official than the county magistrate and is not afraid of him, he still has to consider what he should consider. After all, his family is still in Huaining County. It is beneficial to have a good relationship with the magistrate of Huaining County. Since beating a dog depends on the owner, I will call your master and let him beat you.
As for his uncle Zhu Shouren, Zhu Ping'an actually knew what kind of person his uncle was since he was a child, and he had a lot of opinions about him. Let's not talk about anything else, just say that when he was a child, his uncle borrowed high-interest loans in his father's name, causing his father to almost have his legs broken, and also causing his family to be "divided" and live in a thatched hut. This one thing is enough for Zhu Ping'an to remember. In addition, today's seizure of property is also a heavy stroke of his uncle.
However, I cannot treat my uncle the same way I treated Feng Hushu. Now I just need to let the villagers know what my uncle did. As for the punishment, this kind of thing is not suitable to be done in public. Even if I am right, it is not a good reputation to punish my uncle in public. I should solve it behind closed doors at home. If my grandfather still protects me, I can only take action myself. In addition, although Jun Ge was just a bystander when I went to the sea to look for myself, he went with my eldest brother after all. My uncle is Jun Ge's father, so I have to consider Jun Ge's feelings.
In ancient times, reputation was very important, which is one of the reasons why Zhu Ping'an handled the situation in his current way.
"My Lord, everything Yangsheng said is true, my Lord..." Feng Hushu raised his head and explained excitedly, "It was really your uncle Zhu Shouren who came to me first, my Lord, Yangsheng was blinded by lard..."
"Shut up, that's nonsense!" Uncle Zhu Shouren was even more agitated than Feng Hushu, and then he put his hands behind his back and explained seriously, "Zi'er and I are both members of the Zhu family, and we are all related. How could I, Zhu, do something like trying to seize the land?"
Well
I just like to see my uncle being serious and shameless...
Zhu Pingan curled his lips and watched his uncle perform. He smiled speechlessly. Did his uncle really think he couldn't see it?! (To be continued.)
