lady, please calm down

Chapter 269 Domineering?Then let me show you how domineering I am

It was not until noon.

Outside the Caizhou government office, the family members of three people who were beaten knelt in front of the government office, crying and wanting an explanation from the government office.

After hearing the news, citizens who came to see the excitement crowded Yaqian Street.

In the government office and in the courtroom, the atmosphere was also not harmonious.

Sun Changhao was sitting at the top, and all the officials below looked calm.

"Master Magistrate, so the person who committed the murder on the street today was the bodyguard of your family?"

Cai Yuan cupped his hands and asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

Sun Changhao waved his hands repeatedly and corrected: "Mr. Cai, these assistants are the bodyguards of the Yingchuan Wu family of my wife's family, not my own!"

This is almost nonsense. My wife’s people are not your Sun Changhao’s people?
However, Cai Yuan and Chen Jingyan who were present also heard the implication that Sun Changhao deliberately moved out of the Wu family to oppress others.

The Wu family has been noble for hundreds of years, with disciples and former officials all over the world. In addition, Wu Weiguang holds the position of minister of the dynasty. It is impossible for officials with a literary background to completely ignore this deep-rooted family.

Seeing Chen Jingyan and Cai Yuan fall silent one after another, Gou Sheng, who had a brother under his command who had suffered a loss, couldn't help but said anxiously: "Qin Da, the member of the second class of the third class, had his arm broken. Doesn't it mean that he is a member of the Wu family and does not need to be punished?"

"."

Sun Changhao looked embarrassed and was about to say something when he heard the sound of footsteps at the side door of the court.

Immediately, Mrs. Wu, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, walked in with the support of a grandma. Behind her were Wu Yifan, who couldn't hide his excitement, and Wu San and other servants and guards.

Wu San and others did not even change into the official uniform of the assistant manager. They were extremely arrogant.

Wu walked straight to the middle of the courtroom as if she was in a deserted place, with a calm face and indifferent eyes.

The cold and dignified demeanor of the girl from the aristocratic family made the hall involuntarily quiet.

However, Gou Sheng, who was furious, frowned, looked at Sun Changhao, pretended not to recognize Wu, and asked: "Sir! How come a woman barged in when we were discussing something in the court?"

"This is." Sun Changhao just spoke, but before he could explain, Wu stepped forward in two steps, stood still on Gou Sheng, looked at him from top to bottom, and said in a calm tone: "You are Kong Mu, the name of Xing. Gou Sheng?"

"It's Gou!"

Gou Sheng's face darkened, and he was obviously unhappy. It was extremely impolite to call him by his first name, let alone being called out like this by a woman.

"That's it."

Wu said this inexplicably, and suddenly raised her hand and slapped Gou Sheng on the face.

There was only an arm's length between the two. Gou Sheng was completely unprepared and was hit hard.
'Clap~'

There was a crisp sound, which could be heard in the hall.

When Ximen Xi and others who stayed in the hall saw this, they shouted on the spot and gathered around.

Unexpectedly, Wu San and others behind Wu were even more decisive and actually pulled out the Pu Dao on the spot.

In the court hall, there was a continuous sound of "canglanglang".

"What are you doing! Put away the knife!"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ximen Gong quickly shouted to stop him.

He knows kung fu, so he can clearly see it. The guards of the Wu family are well behaved and decisive in their actions. They are all good players!
If they really take action, the government servants led by the second brother will definitely not be able to take advantage.

After Ximen Gong spoke, Ximen Xi and the other policemen retreated angrily.

Wu San and others sheathed their swords with smiles, not forgetting to glance at Ximen Xi provocatively.

Gou Sheng's face turned red. Was he beaten by a woman in public?
After suppressing the anger in his chest, Gou Sheng stared at Wu and said bitterly: "You dare to go on official business?"

Wu glanced sideways at Gou Sheng, then turned to look at Cai Yuan and Chen Jingyan, as if she was speaking to Gou Sheng, and also to the entire Tongshan clan, "Why don't I dare to fight? My Wu family has been noble for hundreds of years. , The good ministers and ministers that have come out of the family are like crucian carp crossing the river! How can they not beat you, a cheap official?"

After that, he walked slowly in the hall for a few steps, glanced at the officials at all levels, and said coldly: "Just now, I stood outside the hall and listened clearly. How dare a small-time criminal named Kongmu dare to yell at the prefect? ​​Do you understand? I don’t understand the difference between superiors and inferiors! I, the Wu family, have served as officials in Dajin and Daqi for more than [-] years, but I have never heard of a place like Caizhou that is so ignorant of superiority and inferiority."

Wu stretched out her hand and pointed at Sun Changhao who was behind the public case. She suddenly raised her voice and yelled at the other officials: "The chief official of a government is the parents of a government! If you adults don't know how to honor your parents, go home and read through the Classic of Filial Piety." !”

The elegant birds in the hall are silent.

Some people are afraid of the Wu family after Wu's death, and some people disdain to argue with a woman.

In short, no one dared to touch the Wu family for a while.
The leader, Sun Changhao, looked embarrassed, but felt happy in his heart.

Wu Yifan, who had been following Wu step by step, clenched his fists excitedly and kept staring at Gou Sheng and several other government officials who had participated in beating him.

Seeing the yamen servant lowering his head and not daring to meet his eyes, Wu Yifan felt extremely comfortable
After a long time, Ximen finally bowed his hands and explained: "Mrs. Sun, just now your colleagues were discussing the matter of your assistant manager beating the government official today. Everyone's words were a bit abrupt. It was not disrespectful to Mr. Sun."

Ximen Xi couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and thought to himself: He's a grown-up brother, what's the point of arguing with this tough woman? If he just catches his family assistant and beats the public servant in the street, then we'll take advantage of it!

Not wanting to, Mrs. Wu turned her head, stared at Ximen Gong and said slowly: "Master Ximen, a bureau officer in charge of salt and iron, when can he take charge of fights in the house? You worry so much, the court will give you two copies Have you received your salary?"

"." Ximen Gong.

"Pfft."

Wu San and others snickered, but the sound was not quiet, as if they were laughing deliberately for the ears of the officials in the hall.

Wu Yifan let out a fierce breath and looked at his aunt with admiration beyond measure.

Not a moment.

Chen Chu was practicing his calligraphy of "Qingqi Qingqi" in the study. He Bei bowed and finished telling what happened in the courtroom. Chen Chu shook his head and put down his pen, saying: "These brothers, after all, are better than those in the army." Brother, he lost his aggressive spirit and was actually frightened by a woman."

"Master Hou, scholars think too much. Maybe they feel that there is no need to get into trouble with the Wu family over this trivial matter, or maybe they are worried about causing trouble for Master Hou."

He Bei analyzed, but also secretly said good things for a few golden flowers.

Chen Chu smiled noncommittally, and suddenly called out to Mao Dan outside the door, "Mao Dan, go to the back house to invite your wife, and tell the officials to take her out to show off."

Outside the door, Mao Dan was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked in a questioning tone: "Master? Do you really want to say that you are pretending?"

"Well, let's just say that I want to take her to show off her power. Doesn't the Wu family want to talk about superiority and inferiority? Let's talk about superiority and inferiority. Remember to let the wife wear the uniform."

During the tea time, Mao'er hurried to the front house, wearing expensive jewelry and a five-grade commanding uniform.

"Officer, is there something serious?"

There was a height difference of half a foot between the two of them. Mao'er couldn't help but raise his face when he spoke, and there was doubt and worry on his delicate little face lightly painted with pink and white.

Even though he didn't know what the officer was going to do, he still changed the equipment as Chen Chu said.

"I asked you to change the toilet. Are you so obedient?" Chen Chu felt childlike for a moment and stretched out his finger to scratch the cat's small nose.

"The officials won't harm me."

The cat was dissatisfied with the childish action of the official shaving her nose, and wrinkled her little nose with a cute look on her face.

"Hahaha"

Chen Chu spread his palms, and Mao'er tacitly put his hand in the official's big hand. He didn't ask where he was going, and let him lead him out of the house.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into Cai Hua who was coming to the house outside the house.

Lady Cai Sanniang couldn't help but curl her lips sourly when she saw the two of them holding hands like little lovers in love.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the government office."

"You already know?"

"Well, you know that too?"

"The incident happened on College Street, how could I not know about it."

"Then what you came for"

"I called you to watch the fun."

"Haha, okay, let's go, let's go together."

After Chen Chu finished speaking, he stretched out his other hand to hold Cai Hua. Unexpectedly, this arrogant girl shrank away and said, "Get me some soldiers' clothes."

Three o'clock in the future.

In the government office, Mrs. Wu sat firmly on her chair and concluded what happened today, "Those three people insulted my Wu family son innocently. Today's lesson is truly deserved, so my family will no longer pursue the case.

As for the conflict between my assistant manager and the government official, it was entirely due to a misunderstanding.Since Qin Da lost his arm, my family will not sit idly by and ignore it, so we will pay ten thousand dollars.Mother Wu, get the money”

The mother-in-law who was standing behind Wu immediately took out a big silver lock from her arms and said loudly: "There are about 12 taels of silver locks here. The extra ones will be rewarded by my Wu family."

Gou Sheng, who still had fingerprints on his face, changed his expression several times.

I feel aggrieved, but I have no choice but to do it. Sun Changhao is the magistrate in public, and the Wu family is one of the most powerful families in the world.

The combined efforts of the two parties were not something that his small eyes could resist.

No matter what happened today, in short, the Wu family has established its power in Caizhou, and Sun Changhao can also use the Wu family's momentum to gain a firm foothold in Caizhou.
While I was thinking, I suddenly heard the sound of neat footsteps outside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a loud voice shouted: "Marquis Lu An, please come!"

"Hahaha"

Before anyone arrived, hearty laughter entered the hall first. The frustrated Gou Sheng turned around in surprise, only to see Chen Chu holding Mao'er's arm with his hand, and the couple walked into the Caizhou government office side by side.

Outside, the government officials on duty not only showed no intention of obstructing him, but even showed expressions of joy.

Today, brother Qin's arm was broken by the Wu family. Marquis Lu An is here, most likely to seek justice for us!

"All my colleagues are gathered here today. Could it be that something big happened and you didn't send anyone to inform me?"

Chen Chu said with a smile.

Why should the government inform you of a military commander when something happens? Chen Chu's words were obviously wrong, but many officials present seemed not to notice anything wrong, and they all stood up and came forward to greet him.For a time, various titles such as 'Master Hou' and 'Marquis Lu An' filled the hall.

After Chen Chu and his wife returned the greeting with a smile, Chen Chu seemed to have just seen the finger marks on Gou Sheng's face and said in surprise: "Gou Kongmu, what's wrong with your face?"

It was a normal greeting, but Gou Sheng spoke aggrievedly, as if he had been bullied and returned home to see his parents.

Chen Chu nodded frequently, as if he was listening to an ordinary trivial matter. It was not until Gou Sheng finished speaking that he unexpectedly asked, "If you cut off a person's arm, it is reasonable to pay ten strings in compensation."

"." Gou Sheng was startled when he heard this, looked at Chen Chu aggrievedly, and murmured, not daring to speak.

My good Lord, is this a matter of money?Brothers feel aggrieved.
Wu, who had been sitting there with his eyes down, also glanced at Chen Chu in surprise and thought to himself: This Lu Anhou is not as domineering as the rumors outside, he is quite reasonable.
Only a busty soldier standing next to Mao Dan knew Chen Chu best. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with a charming smile. He stretched out his green fingers and curled them up in front of his chest, and began to count the associates of the Wu family. Number of people.

Just when everyone in the hall was having different thoughts, they heard Chen Chu say again: "Gou Kongmu, have you collected the compensation?"

"I'll accept it first for brother Qin."

"Oh, take it out."

Chen Chu gave a faint instruction, and Gou Sheng immediately took out the silver lock from his arms. Chen Chu played with it for a few times, and then suddenly threw it lightly.

The irregular silver hammer hit the ground and made a muffled sound. Gululu spun around a few times and finally rolled to Wu's feet.

This move confused the officials in the hall who thought that Marquis Lu An wanted to settle the matter. At the same time, Wu didn't understand either and couldn't help but frown and look at Chen Chu.

At this time, Chen Chu said again: "Mao Dan, please count their number."

"Ah?" Mao Dan hadn't yet understood what his boss meant, but he saw the big-breasted soldier standing upright yelling: "Master Marquis, there are 16 of them in total!"

Although his voice was deliberately rough, the soft tone of the voice could not be concealed.

Xu Bang looked at the queue of soldiers, couldn't help but said "Hey", laughed, and winked at Cai Yuan.

Cai Yuan glanced at his daughter and rubbed his forehead with a headache.

After a small episode, most people still didn't understand what Chen Chu was going to do.

But Chen Chu stretched out his hand to Mao'er again, "Madam, lend me 160 Guan cargo tickets."

Chen Chudong's actions of hammering his head and Xichuizi's behavior made everyone confused. Even Mao'er didn't understand what the official was going to do. He quickly turned around and asked Bai Lu to point out the 160-guan cargo ticket and handed it to Chen Chu.

Chen Chu took the cargo tickets and finally showed a satisfied smile. Then he raised his hand and the colorful cargo tickets floated all over the room like a goddess scattering flowers.

"One arm has ten knives. This is 160 knives. It's very reasonable. Eldest son, please lead someone to discount the arms of the Wu family's assistants. There are 16 people in total. Don't leave anyone out. I paid for it."

"Om~"

Incredible comments gathered into a huge noise.

Wu opened her mouth and stared at Chen Chu for a few seconds to make sure that the other person was not joking. She jumped up from the chair with a pop and took two steps in front of Chen Chu to argue with him.

Her accustomed body language made her point to Chen Chu's nose before speaking.

Seeing that the woman was disrespectful to the official, Mao'er acted like a conditioned reflex and moved sideways to block the official.

When a man meets a shrew, it's the most troublesome. She can't beat her or scold her. Mao'er's subconscious behavior is to protect her own officials.

Mao Dan and Baoxi reacted quickly. Naturally, they couldn't let this shrew insult their boss, but because the other party was a woman, they didn't know how to start.
Although Cai Hua was not as fast as Mao Dan and Bao Xi, she was the most decisive. She stepped forward, stretched out her hand and pulled Mao Dan away from her, "Don't get in the way~"

Mao Dan was caught off guard and stumbled to the side, which gave Cai Hua room to face Wu.

Before Wu could figure out what the woman pretending to be a man was going to do, Cai Hua slapped her on the face.

Your grandma's legs are dripping. I'm not willing to scold this puppy, but you, a shrew, dare to accuse him!

After a crisp sound of 'pop', the whole hall fell into silence.

Unexpectedly, Cai Hua, who was not relieved, slapped her again with her backhand.

'crack bang bang~'

After several consecutive slaps, the stunned Wu finally realized what she was doing. She staggered back, covered her face, her cheeks were red, and her bun was messy.

In a mixture of shock and anger, she no longer had any trace of the grace of a girl from aristocratic family, and cursed: "Where is the shrew from, how dare you hit me!"

Cai Hua didn't seem to have had enough. She raised her legs and wanted to rush forward again, but she felt her arm being pulled by someone. When she looked back, it was Chen Chu who was pulling her with a smile.

Cai Hua then gave up her plan to slap her a few more times, and followed Wu's example, pointing at Wu and yelling back: "Where did you come from? Are you a lunatic again? Do you know who you were pointing at? This is Is this the fifth-grade imperial concubine whom you can point to? A few slaps on your face will be considered light. Your family doesn’t know how to take care of your daughter, so I will take care of it for you! Don’t forget to ask your parents to send Shu Xiu and me."

Only then did Mao'er understand the reason why the official brought him here. Although it was the first time he faced the current situation, he bravely took a step forward, pulled his face, and tried his best to make his soft voice more dignified. "Daughter of Wu, why are you disrespectful to me? Don't you understand the importance of superiority and inferiority?"

"."

Although the Wu family had become white, the Wu family was not without a wife. She was so angry that she could not care much about it. She only looked at the cat up and down, then turned to her mother-in-law and the guards and said, "Are you all blind? Look! Why don't you go to the master's house and be humiliated? Take this little bitch down, if anything happens, my Wu family will bear it."

Even if she was furious, Wu did not dare to let the guards attack Chen Chu and his wife, but she pointed at the big-breasted soldier who slapped her.
Cai Yuan, who had been sitting next to him and watching the excitement, took a sip of the already cold tea soup without a frown.

With Chen Chu here, even if my precious daughter pokes a hole in the sky, she can still be safe.

The Wu family guards were domineering, and they also knew how serious the consequences would be if they attacked the people next to a general.

After they hesitated for a moment, Wu Ma, the mother-in-law who had been by Wu's side all year round, walked out first.

Cai Hua stood motionless and even raised her fingers provocatively at the other party.

Wu Ma was eager to show off in front of her master, so she raised her arms and rushed towards Cai Hua.

However, as soon as he took two steps out, he heard a slight thud from the loudspeaker in the hall.
The next breath, a short featherless arrow suddenly appeared in the middle of Wu Ma's forehead.

Three to four inches deep into the bone
Wu Ma continued to rush forward for two or three steps before she fell straight to the ground, no longer alive.

Wu's face was splashed with blood, from the left side of her forehead to the right corner of her mouth. She dazedly touched her face, then screamed in fear, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

Wu Yifan, who was hiding behind the guard, was so frightened that his legs were shaking. He wanted to step forward to help his aunt, but he couldn't move his legs. Suddenly, he felt a dampness and heat in his crotch running down his legs, but he was drowning.
While everyone in the hall was shocked, they saw the white-haired rat among the soldiers put away his small hand crossbow and shouted at the Wu family guards, "You must be captured as soon as possible. If you dare to collide with the Marquis again, you will be shot to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a hundred soldiers inside and outside the hall suddenly shouted in unison: "Attack the Marquis and kill without mercy!"

The government office, accustomed to infighting and compromise in the officialdom, was suddenly filled with masculine energy due to this chorus of shouts, and the air was filled with a manic and violent aura of ferocity.

In the hall, except for the officials from the Tongshan faction, they were even worried that Marquis Lu An would kill them all here today.

domineering?Then my family will be domineering and show it to you.
Chen Chu stood in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his hands, staring at Sun Changhao from bottom to top. The latter had been silent for a long time since he realized that the situation was out of control. He just hoped that Marquis Lu An could forget about him as a transparent person.

Seeing Chen Chu looking over at this time, Sun Changhao couldn't help but sweat profusely. He trembled and shouted to the Wu family guards in the hall: "Quick, quick, abandon the weapon! Don't collide with the Marquis!"

Yaqian Street.

The crowd outside the Yamen became quiet after clearly hearing shouts of "kill without mercy" coming from inside the Yamen.

Even the family members of the three injured people stopped crying, as if they were expecting some kind of miracle to happen.

After a while, the government officials dragged out the Wu family guards who had their hands and feet bound.

Feeling proud, Gou Sheng lifted the sash around his waist and shouted to the crowd of people: "The person who committed the murder on Academy Street today was not an official from the government. Now it has been found out that the murderer is a servant of Magistrate Sun. In return, The victim is fair, and the murderers each have sixty canes and will be executed on Yaqian Street."

After that, 16 people were pressed down in a row on Yaqian Street, and another official stepped forward to use his staff.

Today, a colleague had his arm broken by these people, so the officials naturally did not spare any effort in their attack.

As for Magistrate Sun, there is no need to worry about his face. Today, he was first slapped in the face by Marquis Lu An in front of all the officials, and then the people were informed that the perpetrator was a subordinate of the magistrate.
From now on, Magistrate Sun may be inferior to the Clay Bodhisattva in the hearts of officials and people.

In the lobby of the government office, Sun Changhao had given up his position as the leader and sat half-assed on the chair below, trembling.

Chen Chu sat on the seat that originally belonged to him, while Mao'er and the busty soldiers stood on the left and right.

Chen Chu didn't speak, and no one in the hall spoke.

After a while, Mao Dan ran in and reported: "Master Hou, the brothers from the third class outside accidentally broke Wu San's vertebrae."

vertebra?When the vertebrae are broken, the person becomes paralyzed.
careless?Who believes it!These gangsters are trying to avenge their colleagues. What a dirty trick!
When Chen Chu heard this, he sighed with regret, "Brothers, why are you so careless! Hey, since a broken arm is compensated ten times, and a broken vertebrae is more serious than a broken arm, then let's pay more. I'll compensate Wu later. Three, twelve, I'll pay him fifteen guan. We need to be reasonable in our actions, so as not to get a reputation of being domineering."

"puff"

Below, Ximen Gong almost laughed, but Cai Yuan, who looked calm, whispered: "Be more serious!"

"Yes!"

Mao Dan took the order and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chen Chu. The latter looked at Sun Changhao again, "Prefect Sun, it is natural for you to pay compensation for hurting people. Your servants also injured three people, so take How about you compensate them for their soup and medicine with this month’s salary?”

"Okay!" Sun Changhao hurriedly stood up and responded.

Mao Dan glanced at Sun Changhao with a smile and went out to announce the good news.

Suddenly there was a burst of thunderous cheers outside, which came into the hall from a distance.

Chen Chu glanced at Chen Jingyan, who had not even glanced at him from beginning to end, and asked, "Tongzhi Chen, is there any problem with this arrangement regarding today's matter?"

"No problem," Chen Jingyan said with cupped hands.

"Okay, in that case, let's copy the file according to Chen Tongzhi's wishes and close the case."

"." Old Chen was stunned, what do I mean?I didn't say anything!

How could what you did become my intention? Lao Wu will not stop until he forces me to turn against the Wu family!
Chen Chu ignored Chen Jingyan, who had a sad face, and turned to look at Sun Changhao kindly again, saying: "Master Sun, if you think there is something wrong with Chen Tongzhi's handling of this matter, just say it and don't keep it in your heart."

Sun Changhao, who was sweating like rain, quickly raised his hands and said: "It's OK, it's perfect!"

"Hahaha. Lord Sun, you don't have to tell me, just tell Chen Tongzhi directly. I am a military man, how can I interfere with the government office to decide the case?"

"Yes, yes, the Marquis is courteous, gentle, not good at anything, he is indeed a model for soldiers in the world!"

"Haha, this is one of the few advantages of this prince."

Hey, disgusting!This puppy is getting more and more shameless!

The big-breasted soldier standing aside with his head held high and a sword in his hand quietly made a vomiting expression.

But the cat standing on the other side gave me a blank look. What my officials said is the truth!What are you vomiting for?

　More than 6000 words, another day of double updates.
