Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 604 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

After all, the Ma brothers are not evil people. When this group of sailors and boatmen heard about this incident, most of them blamed them for not cherishing the kindness of the master, but most of them had sympathy and were waiting for Xue brothers Two punishments for the Ma family.

Xue Pan and Xue Hong were not in a hurry, they just waited for everyone to finish scolding the Ma brothers, while Lao Hei and a few old boatmen also stood aside and did not speak.After a while, the voices in the crowd gradually became quieter, before Old Hei said: "Uncle, Second Master, now that the Ma brothers have made a big mistake, I don't know if Uncle and Second Master have any conclusions, how should we deal with the two of them?" ?”

Old Hei was very senior and well-informed, even Xue Pan respected him very much, since he asked, others didn't dare to say much, and just listened attentively to what the two young masters had to say.

Xue Pan sighed deeply, and said with regret on his face: "My father has been managing the caravan for almost 20 years, and nothing like this has ever happened. I never imagined that this caravan would be in the hands of me, Xue Pan. In [-], such a scandal happened. Don’t hold others accountable for the faults. I, the leader of the caravan, should reflect on myself. But I have thought about it over and over again, and I don’t know why I am sorry for these two brothers. The two of them dare to join forces with outsiders to harm our family. I really don't understand, can you two explain it to me? "

Ma Boss and Ma Lao Er's foreheads were bleeding, but they kept saying the same thing over and over again, either one said "I was confused for a while", or the other said something like "Please spare our lives, two young masters".

Xue Pan saw that the two could not say anything constructive, so he just sighed again: "Hey...the matter has come to this point, Hong'er, tell me, what should I do with them?"

Xue Hong smiled and said, "Brother, did you feel compassion?"

On the way here, Xue Pan had asked him many times how to deal with these two people. Xue Hong suggested several ways to deal with them, but Xue Pan did not agree.In fact, Xue Pan wanted to let them go, but Xue Hong didn't agree, and the two didn't reach a consensus, so Xue Pan handed over the matter to Xue Hong.

He has always thought that Xue Hong is a person with ideas and ideas, and he is willing to listen to Xue Hong's opinion.

And Xue Hong has already made up his mind: "Come on, you two stop talking so much nonsense. We brought them here today to deal with it, just to tell everyone that our Xue family is always righteous but not easy to bully or deceive. Originally, these two people were going to be sent to see the official, but the mastermind behind this incident was the Chen family, and the Xue family owed the Chen family a kindness. I don’t need to tell you about this matter. Everyone knows that the Chen family has harmed us so much. We don't intend to pursue it, but we are just writing off the grievances between the two families over the years. As for the two of them, once they were unfaithful, they will not be used a hundred times. Although this matter will not be reported to the authorities, our Xue family temple is small and cannot afford to support you. Two Buddhas, please pack up your personal belongings, leave Xue's house immediately, and go elsewhere to make a living. Fortunately, these two are just handymen on the ship. If they are mechanics, even their master and apprentice will be kicked out together Let's go. Do you think it's fair for me to deal with it like this?"

Xue Hong now just said that he wanted to drive away these two people, and did not beat or scold them. Compared with being transferred to the government, this kind of punishment is light and light at all, but it is heavy and heavy.

Xue Hong originally had no intention of letting the two of them suffer. Xue Yi said he would let them go, but he didn't say how. When the people around on the pier were almost gone, he told about the grievances between the Chen family and their Xue family, and also said that the two brothers of the Ma family had done something disloyal to the master.In this way, the grievances between the Xue family and the Chen family will be spread. Even if the Xue family does not repay the Chen family in the future, the world will still have a steelyard in their hearts, and they will call themselves two pounds.The reputation of the Ma brothers' infidelity and unrighteousness was also spread. Although they were not imprisoned, no one dared to ask them to work since then. It is also difficult to get enough food and clothing here, this is simply killing people with soft knives, but it hurts even more when there is no blood.

After listening to Xue Hong's words, Lao Hei lowered his head and smiled. All the boatmen and sailors on Xue's ship expressed their conviction for Xue Hong's decision, and some people felt that Xue Hong's sentence was too light, and they should be punished. handed over to the government.

Xue Hong saw that the impact of this matter had reached the effect she expected, and said: "I will hand over these two people to you, and let them go after they pack up. As for you, from now on, the two of them will leave." This is your example. If you want to commit a crime, just try it. Even if you are not afraid of the condemnation of conscience and the reincarnation of heaven, next time we two brothers will not be so easy to talk to each other. I believe the old men in the yamen will give a better fair ruling."

After Xue Hong finished speaking, she talked to Xue Pan and left the rest of the matter to Xue Pan. He then took Zhuxi to the city, intending to see what Tang Jiu had learned in the medical hall. how's it going.

When the carriage entered the city gate, Xue Hong asked the coachman to take the carriage back. He planned to walk with Zhuxi and take a stroll along the way.

Xue Hong used to go through Yongding Gate when entering the city, but today because she went to the pier, she went through Guangqu Gate.The Guangqumen area is considered a place that Xue Hong seldom visits on weekdays, so he slowed down curiously and wandered carefully.

Passing by the door of a furniture store, Xue Hong heard the ear-piercing quarrel. It seemed that the shopkeeper and the employees were arguing about something. Strangely, the voice seemed familiar.

Xue Hong stopped curiously and looked inside the shop, only to see that the shopkeeper yelling at the employees turned out to be Chen Tianhao.

"It's him?"

Zhuxi also saw it, and said with a smile: "Didn't the second master know? The Chen family used to have shops all over the place, but now there are only a few shops of theirs here and there in Guangqumen. I heard that the business is not good either. Well, it's not surprising that you can see him here."

Xue Hong looked up and saw that this shop was indeed called Chen Ji Furniture.Heh, it turns out that this furniture store belongs to Chen Tianhao. Those who didn't know it thought that the master furniture maker in this store was surnamed Chen.

Just when Xue Hong, master and servant, were chatting at the door, the quarrel in the room seemed to rise to a higher level. The voices of the two were raised a lot. It sounded that the two parties in the quarrel were more emotional, and Xue Hong could barely hear the content of their quarrel. up.
