“That’s ridiculous!”
Young Master Jiang, who was distracted by the pain, was completely awakened by the sudden shout. Then the loud bang of the gavel made him shudder, and he felt his butt hurt even more. He saw the eldest young master of the Qi family slumped on the ground like a frightened little rabbit, and couldn't help but cursed him for being useless.
But before he could decide whether to help the eldest young master of the Qi family, he heard Zhu Tingfang's cold voice.
"Everyone wants to be a filial son? Do you think that you must look for a loyal minister from a filial son's family? This is true, but it doesn't mean that those who come from a filial son's family will necessarily be loyal ministers! Jiang's son took the blame for his father, at least because his father had a decent character in the past. Why should you take the blame for your extremely evil father? Come on, kick Qi's son out and ask Dr. Zhang from the Imperial College to teach him a lesson!"
Since it was Zhang Shou who asked Young Master Jiang to come up with the idea, when Young Master Qi was carried out by two officers and thrown in front of the county government office, Zhang Shou, the instigator, naturally had no choice but to leave behind the screen and rush over. However, when he saw Young Master Qi sitting on the ground in despair, crying loudly, and smelled the pepper smell, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Is it true that his emotions are so cold that he can't even cry
If you really can't cry, then at least think about your previous painful life of being ignored by your biological father and treated harshly by your stepmother, then you should be able to cry, right? If the crowd of onlookers smell this pepper smell, how can you pretend to be a filial son? Compared with the silly but honest Jiang Da Shao, who was beaten with fourteen sticks on behalf of his father, it's really a far cry!
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but his face did not show it. Especially when he saw that the servants and generals of the Zhu family were very wise to isolate the onlookers from a certain range, he gently said to Master Qi: "Filial piety is a good thing, but if your parents and brothers are guilty of a capital crime, and you still refuse to admit the reality because of your so-called filial piety, then it is just foolish filial piety."
"But that's because I was muddle-headed all day, and I didn't take notice. I didn't give advice. I wasn't a good son, and I wasn't a good brother!"
Although Master Qi, who was still sobbing at this time, knew that he might not be able to fool many people by pretending to be so, his parents and brothers were all sentenced to death, so he was not so stupid as to think that he could manage the family business alone. With the Qi family in such a situation, it would be strange if they were not swallowed up by others! He was already sitting on the ground, so he just fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
"As a son and an elder brother, how can I face the fact that my parents and brothers are all sentenced to death, and I am the only one who is spared? I beg the two imperial envoys to let someone else take over the Qi family business. I am willing to hide in the ancestral hall of my family, sweep the floor and repent every day to atone for the sins of my parents and brothers!"
Seeing that Young Master Qi was good at both singing and writing, Zhang Shou's attitude became more and more warm. Anyway, this was the character he had in Cangzhou, and he didn't mind letting this character become more popular. The villains were all played by Zhu Tingfang, the black-faced one, so he just had to try his best to play the role of a good person who cared about the people.
"Who do you want to take over your family business?" While saying this, Zhang Shou was thinking in his heart that he heard that Mr. Qi had several nephews, and one of them was even a scholar with good academic performance. It was said that he had a chance to pass the provincial examination next year.
