The History of the Empress of the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 185
Will you really put gold on your face, "stern and selfless"?You can really say it, Su Nuo's lips trembled, and he almost laughed out loud.

The people around were full of admiration for Su Wanwan's actions. It had to be said that Su Wanwan was quite good at pretending. No wonder in the hearts of ordinary people, even though they didn't like this Lord Hou, they didn't hate him either.

Those who hate the Su family are only those businessmen.

As expected of the mother of a martyr, the old woman did not feel nervous at all in the face of such a big scene. She looked quite imposing and righteous. She walked into the hall with her grandson and looked up at the Pang Zhong, his eyes almost burst into flames.

Pang Zhong was startled by this gaze, and felt as if he had jumped from one ice cave to another, but after thinking about it carefully, he confirmed again and again that he did not know this old woman, and he really couldn't figure out that his son would follow her. What's the matter with this old woman.

"Who is in the hall, who is the sue, come one by one!"

Seeing that Master Hou had spoken, Li Shikui naturally began to carefully try the case.

"My lord, the old woman He Cui, five years ago, her son died in battle for the country and was proclaimed a martyr by the emperor. Only this grandson was left behind, living on a house and ten acres of land rewarded by the court, but unexpectedly Three days ago, a man named Pang Qing who claimed to be from Suhou's Mansion actually said that he wanted to buy this house and land, and without any explanation, he kicked us, grandparent and grandson, out of the house!"

"This house and land were all given by the imperial court. My grandparents and grandson still count on it to live, so naturally they don't want to. Unexpectedly, Pang Qing saw my grandson crying, but he punched and kicked her. The old woman stepped forward to stop him. Almost got killed!"

The old woman speaks righteously, and when it comes to being beaten, she is gnashing her teeth in anger, and even more distressed. She uncovered the child's clothes, and the blue and purple bruises on her body were so eye-catching that one couldn't help but gasp!
"My country's law stipulates that anyone who is designated as a martyr will be compensated by his or her family for real estate and land. This compensation is equivalent to what the emperor bestowed. Dare I ask my lord, what is the crime of robbing the emperor's gift! Beating the orphan of a martyr What should I do!"

The old woman questioned loudly, which made everyone feel sad. Seeing her gray hair and the child's thin body, they became more and more sympathetic, and even more resentful towards the perpetrator.

"Such a pair of helpless grandparents and grandchildren can do it, it's not as good as a beast!"

"That's right, his son is still a martyr! He died for the country, and he is not afraid of the souls of martyrs coming to him!"

"The grandparents and grandchildren are pitiful..."

……

The endless discussions caused Su Wanwan to frown again.

"He Cui, let me ask you, the Marquis, can Pang Qing pay you for buying your house?"

At this time, Su Wanwan could still think of money. He is really greedy for money. He never forgets the lost money. It seems that he will not give up until he finds the money.

"My lord, I am wronged. If I got the money, the old woman would not be living on the street with her grandson! When we were kicked out of the house, Pang Qing didn't even let the old woman in. Packing up, tidy up!"

"Pang Qing kept saying...that's what Lord Hou likes. Every plant, every tree, every penny and silver in this courtyard belongs to Lord Hou. It's a blessing for our grandparents and grandchildren to see Lord Hou... The old woman would rather Ask Lord Hou, is what Pang Qing said true?"

The old woman's last sentence undoubtedly made Su Wanwan furious. With so many people outside, is this trying to discredit him?
