"Zhou Jing, I know you're at home, don't pretend to be a coward. Come out!"

The Zhou family was eating lunch in high spirits, and a group of voices outside the door were clamoring one after another.

Zhou Jing put down the bowl and chopsticks and Wang Ren looked at each other, Wang Ren sneaked out, Shen Mo looked at Zhou Jing with a little worry, Zhou Jing comforted Shen Mo with his eyes, got up and said to everyone: "I don't know how to build a house at home. Who is uncomfortable looking for me, and I have to trouble everyone to go out with me!"

"Boss, don't worry, there are so many people in our family. Although we won't take the initiative to cause trouble, we are definitely not cowards." Carpenter Cao was also annoyed by the sudden and indiscriminate yelling from outside.

A group of people came out following Zhou Jing, and saw a dozen or so men surrounded by the door at some point, each of them held a weapon in their hands, and they looked vicious and vicious.It was the Shen family father and son who took the lead.

The father and son of the Shen family had changed their clothes and had already returned to their adult-like appearances. Only Shen Cheng's bruised face could prove that he had just experienced a brutal beating.

Zhou Jing pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's the meaning of Yuezhang and uncle bringing so many people to my house?"

"Zhou Jing, what are you pretending to be? Didn't you set up a trap for my father and me to lie to us that those two despicable twins would give us two taels of silver to go to the back mountain, but in the end you tricked us over and gave us I beat him up, and... even stripped my father naked and hung him on a tree to humiliate him, he is your father-in-law, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"

Zhou Jing's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Shen Cheng, rest your words, Shen Mo and Shen Lin are your brothers, you dare to insult them, even if I really beat you, it can only be regarded as a lesson for my brother-in-law younger brother!"

"You..." Shen Cheng wanted to force himself to defend himself, but was interrupted by a man who followed beside him who was obviously quite imposing among the group of people, and who seemed to be the leader raised his hand.

The man is about 50 years old, and he is an old man with official airs all over his body.

He said slowly: "Zhou Jing, you don't have to quibble, everyone in the village has seen Shen Cheng's injuries and Brother Shen's timeless appearance when he was found."

"So what!" Zhou Jing snorted coldly, "How can it have anything to do with me?"

The old man's face turned cold, and he reprimanded Zhou Jing loudly: "Don't be ignorant, it's because our Wangjia Village is kind-hearted, and you don't want to make trouble in the yamen for the sake of being my son-in-law in Wangjia Village anyway. Be good. Kneel down respectfully and kowtow on the ground for brother Shen, beg him and your brother-in-law to forgive you, and then pay out two taels of silver to make amends and forget about it!"

"Two taels is not enough. Those two little bastards promised to give me two taels back then. It was agreed a long time ago and can't be changed. In addition, there are hundreds of Wen and big money on me and Xiaocheng, which were also stolen by Zhou Jing , so I want him to pay me another one, no, two taels of silver."

The old man seemed to be offended, but in fact he looked at Father Shen indulgently, and heaved a long sigh.

"Forget it, you have suffered so much from your son-in-law, you should ask for some money!"

"You should?" As soon as the old man finished speaking, Carpenter Cao yelled sharply, "You old man asks for four taels of silver, and you should call it right! You are a rich man who doesn't know the hardships of our peasant family! Do you know? What is the concept of four taels of silver? It can be used to build a mud embryo house or a family of three to sit and eat for half a year!"

"Besides, I also understand one thing, that is, you are here to blackmail our boss with empty teeth. This is to see our boss build a blue brick and big tile house and get jealous with red eyes. You came to steal it, right? !"

"You..." The old man was so angry that one finger shook and shook like a stroke, as if he had never been confronted so positively before, and it took him a long time to say, "Presumptuous!"

"Who is presumptuous, I think you are the one who is presumptuous, and there is no one in the family who bullies our boss! You said that the person was beaten by our boss, and it was our boss who beat him! Then I said, I have 20 taels of silver on me just now, so big It will be gone in a while, and you and I had a verbal conflict during this period, so it must be you who stole it, so return it to me immediately!"

"You spitting blood!" the old man yelled.

"Since you said that this is bloody spouting, then what you are doing now is different from what I invited this master craftsman to say. They are all empty words with no evidence!" Zhou Jing said.

The old man said: "Who says we have no evidence, we all saw Father Shen's naked body and Shen Cheng's injuries, apart from your family, an honest family like Brother Shen has never had a feud with anyone else!"

Zhou Jingdao: "The master craftsman I invited is also a well-known honest craftsman in the town. He has worked for so many masters of rich families, and they all say he is a master with good skills. Seriously, except for you, you have never had any disputes with others, so the 20 taels of silver on him is indeed lost. I can testify that based on your remarks, it is undoubtedly you who stole the silver, so you can accompany me! "

"You, you are just messing around. I won't argue with you. You have to pay for your money today, or you have to pay if you don't pay! Otherwise, don't blame the villagers I brought for smashing these blue bricks and new tiles for you!"

Before Zhou Jing could reprimand, an angry shout came from behind the crowd: "How dare you!"

The person who came was Wang Fulu, the villager of the Wang family.Standing beside him was Wang Ren who had just slipped away. On the way, Wang Ren had already explained the matter to his father emphatically.But it is about the 'processed' version.

The old man saw Wang's village as if he saw a savior, stepped forward and called out respectfully: "Brother Wang, you have come, you don't know, Zhou Jing in your village is a villain, he not only beats his brother-in-law, but also humiliates his father-in-law." , it is really a lightning strike..."

However, Wang Fulu didn't buy the old man's account, and interrupted him directly: "The villagers in my Wang's Village are still waiting for you, and Shen's Village is here to point fingers!"

It turned out that the old man was Lizheng of the Shen family's village, and Shen Lizheng's face was turned red.He has been working in the village for decades, he is an official, big and small, and the people in the village will give him some face if he meddles in some nosy business. No one dared to talk to him like this for many years.If it was Pangcun Lizheng, he might be head-to-head today.But the Lizheng of Wangjia Village can talk to the yamen and the county lord, and no Lizheng of any village dares to offend him easily.

Wang Fulu said: "Having said so much, I don't need to say any more. I heard it clearly from behind the crowd just now. Shen Lizheng, all you said is that you and the villagers saw that Shen Lao was stripped and injured. Cheng hanged on the tree, and then heard from old father Shen and Shen Cheng that Zhou Jing did it. Now let me ask you, where are the witnesses? Has anyone seen that Zhou Jing did it?"

No one from Shenjia Village uttered a word. They were summoned by Shen Cheng's cry for help. They did not see Zhou Jing at the scene. At that time, there were only two fathers Shen and Shen Cheng. They said that Zhou Jing did it. I think Zhou Jing did it!

Someone from Shenjia Village objected, "We didn't see Zhou Jing committing a crime, but so what, who else could there be besides him?"

Wang Fulu yelled: "Who did it, then you should go to the yamen to report the crime, I don't care. I only talk about Zhou Jing in our village. Since there are two parties in your village who said that Zhou Jing did it, no one else saw it. Then, even if it comes to the yamen, the magistrate of the county will not only accept the one-sided words of the parties involved. But Zhou Jing in our village has been proved that he has not been out of the house since these master craftsmen arrived, and has been helping on the sidelines. Only at noon When I left the meeting, I went into the kitchen to cook for everyone!"

Father Shen shouted: "He must have sneaked into the mountain while cooking!"

Wang Fulu snorted coldly: "Do you know that Zhou Jing cooked a total of five dishes at noon, all of which were hard dishes, namely meaty eggplant sticks, bean and potato stewed pork slices, chicken stewed mushrooms, spicy fried shredded pork, fried bamboo shoots Meat slices. Don’t say anything else, just say that these five dishes are too busy for one person to finish. Could it be that you mean that Zhou Jing can perform tricks in big dramas, and you can turn a single hair into two Zhou Jing, one Cooking in the kitchen, the other went to the mountain to beat people. If not, Zhou Jing went to the mountain to beat people, then how did the workers get a big table of food?"

Father Shen said: "Aren't there still Shen Mo and Shen Lin in the kitchen?"

"Don't talk about Shen Mo and Shen Lin. During this period, the two of them have been supervising work outside. And why didn't you help Zhou Jing enter the house to cook? It's not all thanks to you. You beat them like that, you are a father I don’t feel bad, but people who are in charge of the house have to feel bad, and they are reluctant to let their husband cook. These days, Zhou Jing does the cooking by himself. The craftsmen who work in his house can testify, and the chimney on the thatched cottage of his house It's been smoking!"

"This... this..." Shen Lizheng was dumbfounded, he never thought that Father Shen would lie.Moreover, Zhou Jing's character is not very good, and it really seems like he did it, so when the Shen family found him, he didn't ask carefully, and just helped out.But I don't want to, now that Zhou Jing has someone to prove that he never left Zhou's house, then it can only be that old man Shen is lying. Presumably he saw that Zhou's house is now built with a big tile house, and he saw money in his heart. Open, just remembered this one.As for the injury on Shen Cheng's body and the humiliation of Old Shen's father, if it wasn't Zhou Jing who was on the mountain, then it is very likely that it was done by refugees hiding in the mountain.

After making such a fuss, it turned out that he was being played like a monkey. Shen Li was so angry that he glared at the Shen family father and son angrily, turned around and wanted to shake his sleeves and leave, but was stopped by Zhou Jing.

"The Shen family village is still waiting. Although the boy is not the master of a big family and cannot be insulted by others, but this matter has become such a big deal, I dare not ask for an explanation. Otherwise, people will misbelieve the rumors in the future and think that I am Zhou Zhou. Jing has really done this kind of thing, and it will bring trouble to the whole Wangjia Village, how will the men and girls in Wangjia Village get engaged in the future, if people talk about my affairs, what will it matter!"

In a few words, the Zhou family's personal grievances rose to the benefit of the whole village.It's not that Zhou Jing can influence anything with just a few words, but at this time, whether it's a daughter-in-law or a girl, he should ask about the customs in the village.If there are people who beat their fathers and scold their mothers in the village, it will really affect the marriage of the whole village.

The people from Wangjia Village who were watching the excitement just now quit, and coaxed: "We must give our Wangjia Village an explanation. Don't think that our Wangjia Village is easy to bully. If you pour all kinds of dirty water into our village, it will ruin someone's marriage. Can Jiacun take care of it?"

Shen Lizheng knew that he would not be able to get away without giving a satisfactory explanation, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Jing, what do you think, don't forget, Father Shen is your father-in-law."

Zhou Jing nodded and said: "I know, so naturally I won't do what my father-in-law did. I won't ask for compensation, and even a junior can't afford the elder's apology, but I can always ask my father-in-law to explain things clearly, and I won't ask for it. Yes, I just ask Yuezhang to wait at the entrance of the village today and explain the matter clearly to every neighbor who comes to Wangjiacun, so as not to bring down the reputation of the village, this is not too much!"

"It's not too much, it should be explained clearly, otherwise how can my Wang family village be engaged to other villages in the future?" Wang Fulu said.

"But what will happen to the reputation of Shenjia Village if we make such a fuss?" With such a father-in-law who wronged his son-in-law is enough to ruin the reputation of Shenjia Village, Shuang'er, a girl from another village, would definitely not want to marry into Shenjia Village.

"It's because you acted impulsively that caused today's consequences. Shouldn't you suffer the consequences yourself, or really want to make trouble in the yamen! If today's incident goes to the yamen, all the men from your Shenjia Village who came to our Wangjia Village will be The Shen family's father and son's accomplices, one counts as one, and no one can get away with it."

It was a matter of personal interests, no one was willing to help the Shen family father and son, even Li Zheng agreed to Zhou Jing's request.In the end, the Shen family father and son were left behind, and they had to tell the passers-by what happened every day and then admitted that they had wronged others, ungrateful for profit, and wanted to extort money from the Zhou family.

The Shen family's father and son had a hundred mouths and couldn't tell. They didn't know why Zhou Jing could turn into two people, one was beating people on the mountain, and the other was cooking at home.So I had to endure it, humiliatingly telling every passerby what happened.
