Chapter 361 was arrested
Xu Qi staggered and almost fell in front of the gate of Changchun Marquis Mansion.
Hearing the anxious call from behind, he turned his head and saw Xu Fang running out panting.
At this moment, Xu Qi was stunned.
He had never seen his elder sister so embarrassed.
In his impression, my sister has always been dignified and polite, like all ladies who have received strict education.
He even loathes her like this.
"Brother, where are you going?" Xu Fang chased after her, her loose hair hanging down her forehead because of her haste.
The woman behind quickly caught up and held Xu Fang's arm: "Miss, it's cold outside, go in and rest."
The mother-in-law seemed to be respectful, but she put all her strength into her hands.
Xu Fang couldn't move, and raised her voice, "I'll go back to the room after talking to my elder brother."
Neighbors and pedestrians all cast curious eyes.
The mother-in-law's voice was even louder: "Miss, the eldest son has been expelled from the house by the Hou Ye, and he is no longer a member of our Hou Mansion. Don't make the Hou Ye angry, and go back to the room."
What? The eldest son of the Marquis of Changchun was expelled from the house?
The spectators immediately pricked up their ears, thinking they had heard it wrong.
Not long ago, those gangsters brought the eldest son of the Changchun Houfu to make a fuss at the door. How long ago did the eldest son Xu get kicked out of the house?
Even if the head of the Xu family lives in the alley behind the Marquis Mansion in Changchun, it won’t be so fast to open the ancestral hall and remove the name from the family tree, right?
Xu Fang is a weak girl, how can she be as strong as a five-year-old and three-thick woman, and she was soon forced back by her.
Until she was pushed into the side door, she still turned her head and looked anxiously at Xu Qi.
Xu Qi saw it, his numb expression turned into anger, he rushed over and shouted: "Let go of my eldest sister!"
The steward came out with a few servants, and the side door was closed directly.
Xu Qi stared at the steward: "Open the door, I want to find my eldest sister!"
The steward smiled on the surface: "Young master, don't embarrass the younger ones. Master Hou said that you will not be allowed to step into the gate of the Hou Mansion again."
Xu Qi was even more angry: "How dare you talk to me like this as a servant?
There was a contemptuous smile on the corner of the steward's mouth: "The eldest son is still confused. Although the younger one is a servant, he is a servant of the Houfu, not your servant."
Xu Qi's anger stagnated, he stared at the steward and forgot to speak.
From the young master Hou Men to the bereaved dog, it is so easy to adapt to the change of identity immediately.
There are more and more people stopping to watch the excitement, even if there are still snowflakes, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for gossip.
The steward cupped his hands to the outside, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone in Haojiao knows that Xu Dalang is stubborn and addicted to gambling. In order to prevent his family from being harmed by him, Lord Hou reluctantly kicked him out of the house today. From then on, he has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion." .”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised and felt it was reasonable.
The eldest son of the Marquis of Changchun has been incompetent since he was a child, and getting into trouble is commonplace, but now he actually goes to gamble, and if he loses, he will pay five thousand taels of silver.
For the sake of the family, it is only normal to drive such a prodigal son out of the house.
Xu Xi listened to the manager's ruthless words, subconsciously went to look at the people who watched the excitement, and saw indifferent faces.
Among those people, there was the uncle who gave him candied haws when he sneaked out to play when he was a child, and there was also the old lady who pressed the veil on his wound when he came back from a fight.
And now, these people looked at him indifferently, taking him for granted that he was kicked out of the house.
Xu Qi slowly straightened his back, walked out step by step, and walked up to the spectators, who silently moved out of the way.
The steward led his servants to stand beside the stone lion outside the gate, watching the slumped figure go away with cold eyes, his eyes were full of smiles.
The eldest son is completely finished, and the madam is in a good mood, are you afraid of losing the reward?
There was a noise.
"Let's go, let's go."
When the spectators heard the shouts, they subconsciously avoided the two sides. When they saw a team of officials walking over, their eyes lit up immediately.
I thought the fun was over, why are there still officials on stage?
A group of officials wearing the costumes of Wucheng soldiers and horses came to the gate of the Marquis Mansion in Changchun. The leading officer clasped his fists at the steward: "May I ask if Lord Hou is here?"
"Is there something wrong with the messenger?" The steward was puzzled, and his expression changed slightly when he glanced at the person brought by the official.
Those are from the Hou Mansion!
After scanning the gangsters who came to make trouble, the steward's heart sank: no, something happened!
As Yang's confidant, of course he knew the arrangement after his wife took out five thousand taels of silver to send the gangsters away.
Madam ordered him to quietly send someone to follow up with the gangsters, and look for an opportunity to **** back the five thousand taels of silver.
These few people were specially selected by him from the servants with good skills. How could they be associated with the people from Wucheng Bingmasi?
The leading officer pointed at those people: "When we were patrolling, we found these people robbing, and after interrogation, we found out that they are servants of the Hou family."
Robbery?
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.
The steward's face was gloomy: "Don't be joking, sir, how could the people in our Hou's mansion rob?"
The law and order in the Marquis of Changchun is under the management of Xicheng Bingmasi.
The steward thought to himself: Is there something wrong with the brains of these people in Xicheng Bingmasi, and they came to trouble the Hou's mansion because of a few gangsters?
The leading officer couldn't guess what the steward was thinking, but he could only smile secretly.
They didn't want to either, they were forced by Miss Luo!
Of course they won’t make things difficult for the Marquis of Changchun because of a few gangsters, but in order not to offend Miss Luo, she can only bite the bullet and come here. Who made Miss Luo the apple of the eye of Governor Luo?
Governor Luo went into the prison and came out again. It is said that Eunuch Zhou personally brought a reward to visit the Governor's Mansion, which shows the emperor's favor to Governor Luo.
Don't offend, don't offend!
The leading officer quietly glanced at the onlookers from the corner of his eye.
In the crowd, a girl in a blue cloak was looking at him with a smile.
The leading official almost shivered.
This aunt dared to slap the little princess of Pingnan Wangfu when Dudu Luo was in prison. If she couldn't satisfy her today, they wouldn't have any good fruit to eat.
The leading officer pointed to the gangsters with bruised noses and swollen faces: "These people are the ones who suffer."
The spectators took a closer look, hey, aren't these some gangsters who came to collect debts not long ago?
Definitely can’t be mistaken, that bastard’s triangular eyes are so ugly.
The triangular eyes noticed that they had become the focus of everyone's attention, and immediately shouted loudly: "The Marquis's abacus is very good. They paid off the gambling debts for your eldest son on the front foot, and then sent someone to **** it. What kind of behavior is this? When you first came here I heard that Mr. Xu was kicked out of the house, tsk tsk, obviously the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, it’s not that the family does not enter the house, Mr. Xu was kicked out unjustly!"
"Shut up, if you **** talk nonsense again, don't blame the Hou Mansion for being rude!"
The young man's cold voice sounded: "They didn't talk nonsense."
