TSBFL Chapter 77.3
Chapter 77.3: 哄好
[Coax (deceive) Well]
Seeing that Qiu Jiu had listened to his own explanation, Gu Lang nodded and let him go out.
Qiu Jiu left Gu Mansion and headed straight for the market, remembering the steamed buns that his master ordered him to buy, almost forgetting that he had another mission, until he passed by the notice board in the market, when he suddenly heard the cries and shouts that erupted from there, only then did he suddenly think of another purpose for him to come out.
Qiu Jiu looked at the notice board that was surrounded and impenetrable by the crowd that gathered in front of it, and then looked at the Fu Bun Shop not far away, he still decided to go and see what was happening there before he went to buy the buns. Anyway, the steamed buns were right there, and it would be able to run away.
Qiu Jiu made up his mind, and squeezed straight towards the crowded place, and managed to squeeze to the front with his nimble hands.
In front of Qiu Jiu was a woman who was pulling on the official’s clothes and crying her heart out. The woman was pulling on the official’s clothes and crying with a handful of snot and a tear: “Sir, what did my Qing’er do wrong? Why does he have to be punished so heavily? If he goes there, I’m afraid that half of his life will be gone.”
The woman’s cries were exceptionally mournful, and could be heard very clearly in this ‘busy flow of people marketplace’.
The official who was grabbed looked at the woman who was desperately pulling him, and saw that the snot and tears on her face were all going to run onto his body, therefore he finally couldn’t help but tear the person off his body. He looked at her impatiently and said:
“The notice just now has been written very clearly, your son together with other prisoners framed the Chen family’s small restaurant that eating something there killed a person. This matter has already been ascertained by the county magistrate, and there is no problem with the ingredients of the Chen family’s small restaurant. Whether it was the dishes that were poisoned or the people who died from eating them, it was all the work of your good son.”
When the woman heard this, her eyes immediately widened and she looked agitated as she lunged towards the official, shouting as she did so, “No, no, my son wouldn’t do such a thing, you guys have wronged him. He would never do such a thing!”
The official was not happy with this kind of shrew, and felt that he had already patiently explained clearly to her, but she was still unreasonably demanding.
The official was angry in his heart, seeing her pouncing on him again, he nonchalantly kicked the person over to the ground. He looked at her with an impatient face and said: “You don’t have to be a nuisance, since your son has done something wrong, he has to bear the consequences. The county magistrate only punished him to go to the labor field for three years, it was considered already as an extra-legal mercy.”
That woman was kicked to the ground, covering her kicked stomach, she wailed loudly and screamed out, “Aiyoo, my stomach. My poor son yo, I’m just a commoner, so I deserve to be bullied by the officials.”
Hearing the woman’s words as she kept screaming out, the official who had just kicked the person looked around somewhat feeling guilty, seeing that the onlookers around him were curious, and no one stood out to accuse him of doing something wrong. At once, he instantly felt that what he did was right, even his waist was straightened a few points, looking at the woman on the ground intimidated: “You, don’t continue to pester, if you are so stubborn, beware that even you will be arrested together to the prison!”
The woman heard the official’s voice, stopped screaming, but the crying became louder and louder.
Watching the crowd look at the woman fell to the ground crying miserably, their face did not have any half sympathy, after all, they already know from the mouth of the official just now the original cause of the matter. Didn’t her son plan to frame someone else, yet he was found out. Now, what’s so good to cry about? Some of the women who couldn’t stand to look at her, even spat fiercely towards the woman on the ground and cursed loudly, “Bah, shameless thing, to raise a son who is that trashy, what kind of a good person would you be yourself?”
The woman heard these words as if she was suddenly stimulated, and suddenly climbed up from the ground with a grunt, and fought towards the woman who had slandered her son.
That married woman is also bold and vigorous, naturally not afraid of the woman’s fight, and soon pulled the woman’s hair and fought with her.
Qiu Jiu hugs his own arms on one side, with keen interest as he watches the two women desperately fighting with all their might, just lacking a hand of melon seeds for him to eat. After watching that madam, three or two times pressed the woman under her body and slapped her, he then raised his eyes to look at the above notice board posted, written in a simple and clear punishment notice. He turned to go to Shop Fu to buy the steamed buns. Although it was lively and he enjoyed watching it, he couldn’t forget the task that his family’s young master had explained to him.
When Qiu Jiu returned to the Gu Mansion, he found that Chen Xing, who was still sleeping when he went out, had already woken up. He was now sitting at the dining table drinking tea with his family’s young master. Only when he was just about to go in, he noticed that the atmosphere between them was a bit strange, and his foot that had stepped in he took it back.
Just as Qiu Jiu hesitated whether to go in or not, Gu Lang who was not far away, seemed to have sensed his presence and raised his eyes in his direction, looking at the way he was carrying his breakfast but not coming in, he frowned in dissatisfaction, and said towards him in a tone that wasn’t very nice, “You’ve been delayed for so long, and now that you’re back, yet you’re not coming in, so what are you doing by standing at the door?”
Qiu Jiu was lectured by his family’s young master in this manner, and immediately came in with his breakfast in hand. He also did not ask what happened between Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu, that was not something he could ask anyway, he just needed to do his part.
