Most of the people who came to donate money today came from Lantian County. They should have gone back from Yanxing Gate in the east of Chang 'an City, but they did not do so!
After they donated money, they did not go to the east gate. Instead, they went south. A group of people went straight to Dunhua Square!
Dunhua Square was where the Cui family's stronghold in the capital was located!
"Bah! The Cui family is rich but heartless! "
"Bah! The Cui family is cold-blooded and heartless! "
"Bah! The Cui family is heartless! "
"Bah! The Cui family is shameless! "
Usually, people would often hear jokes about how "one spit from each person could drown you". The Cui family now had a real experience of being "baptized" by the people's spit. Although the Cui family's threshold was high, and even if all the people in Chang 'an City spit at them, the Cui family had been standing for thousands of years. When had they ever suffered such humiliation? A thousand-year-old family was also very concerned about their reputation!
"Unruly people! A bunch of unruly people! Men! Chase all those unruly people away! If they don't want to leave, beat them up! "
In the backyard of the Cui family, Cui Shanfu's wife, Wang Shi, roared angrily.
Her husband, Cui Shanfu, had been "sent" to Lingnan by Li Er. She was not in a good mood this month. Now, those unruly people in her eyes were causing trouble in front of the Cui family. How could she not be angry?
"Madam, do you want to wait for Grandfather to come back?"
The butler of the Cui family asked carefully.
His surname was Wang, and he had "married" with Wang Shi. He was considered Madam Wang's "direct descendant". The Cui family's Grandfather, Cui Junchuo, had gone to a manor in the south of Chang 'an City to recuperate because of the cold weather in Chang' an City. Although it was cold there, there was a natural hot spring there.
"No need! Even if Grandfather is at home, he will not allow these unruly people to cause trouble in front of the Cui family! "
Wang Shi's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness.
"… Yes, Madam!"
The butler took the order and left.
A moment later, a group of servants holding a stick suddenly rushed out of the Cui family's main gate. They ran like wolves and tigers to the people who came to spit and shouted, "Where did these unruly people come from? Why don't you open your eyes and see where you are? Is this something you can come and make trouble for? If you don't scram, don't blame me for being rude! "
"Yes! Get lost! Look at your poor appearance, don't dirty our Cui Family's street! "
The servants were all fierce and arrogant. As the servants of a top aristocratic family, they indeed had the qualifications to be arrogant. However, their arrogance was used in the wrong place today!
"Heh! A bunch of lackeys who only know how to rely on their master's power! Under the feet of the Emperor, could it be that you still dare to hit people? I will stand here today and see if you dare to hit me! "
A young man who looked like a scholar took a step forward and scolded arrogantly.
His name was Yu Dejing, and he came from a farmer's family in Lantian County. Yesterday, he accompanied his mother to the county office to participate in the free clinic. Today, he also came to the city to "fulfill his vow". In the past, his dream was the same as most people's — first, he wanted to pass the imperial examination, then marry a woman with five surnames. But today's incident made him a little disappointed in the legendary Five Surnames Seven Sects. The dignified Five Surnames Prominent Family was nothing more than this! Their hearts were also black!
The arrogance and despotism of these evil servants made his heart burn with fury. Thinking back to the Li family's courteous attitude at the Warm Tang Foundation, he started to hate the Cui family more than anything else!
"Wow! Xiao Jing, you've done well today! Even though your Uncle Zhong used to laugh at you for not being able to pass the county level examinations, but based on your tough attitude today, you will always be a county level scholar in your Uncle Zhong's heart! No, you will be the top scholar! "
A burly man came up to Yu Dejing and laughed loudly.
"Uncle Zhong …"
Yu Dejing's small face reddened as he looked at the burly man in annoyance. After being yelled at by you, everyone here knows that I won't be able to pass the county level examinations!
"Scholar Yu is right! You dare to hit people under the feet of the Emperor? What does our spitting on the street have to do with the Cui Family? Does this street belong to the Cui Family? "
Seeing that someone had stepped forward, the people behind did not back down and started to jeer as well!
"Hmph! Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Madam has ordered that if these unruly people don't leave, take a stick and beat them away! "
The leader of the servants shouted angrily and then took the lead to hit Yu Dejing with the stick!
"Aiyo! F * ck! You bunch of dog slaves, how dare you hurt people on the street! See if I don't fight with you! "
"Go! Fight with them! "
…
Yongle Lane, Li Mansion.
"Hehe! Young Master, this is what happened. San Bao did not expect that the people would notice that the Cui Family's name was not on the Merit Monument! "
The group of people in front of the Warm Tang Foundation's entrance was quickly noticed. San Bao hurried back to inform Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw San Bao's gloating face, he put on a straight face and said, "What? Are you happy that the people are causing trouble for the Cui Family? "
San Bao replied instinctively, "Of course I'm happy! Young Master! Previously, that old fart from the Cui Family kept causing trouble for you, and now finally … Uh! Young Master … "
San Bao was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized that Li Zexuan's tone was not right, so she quickly shut up!
Li Zexuan snorted and flicked his sleeves. "Hmph! It's true that I have a grudge against the Cui Family, but I never thought of letting these poor people stand up for me! They don't even care about the food and clothing of their own families. Do you think they can go against the Cui Family? In the end, it won't be a lose-lose situation. Instead, they will be completely wiped out! For their families, it will be one disaster after another! "
Li Zexuan's purpose in establishing the Warm Tang Foundation was to help the poor. However, if the people were to fight against the Cui Family, the ones who would be hurt would be the poor people like them. In that case, wouldn't he be helping the poor for nothing?
If it were a transmigrator, they would definitely be secretly happy at this moment and might even be secretly adding fuel to the fire. This was because "smart people" loved to kill with a borrowed knife, eliminate dissidents, and reap the benefits of others! However, Li Zexuan, as a transmigrator, did not want to be such a "smart person". He did not want to use the weak knife of the people to fight against the "giant rock" that was the Cui Family!
Some people often said that a general's success was built on thousands of bones! However, Li Zexuan knew that he could not be so cold-blooded!
"Clap, clap, clap!"
"Good! Xiao Xuan, I am very happy that you can think this way! "
Ye Guozhong, the Crazy Eavesdropper, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He clapped his hands and sighed. "The grudges between the Cui Family and the Li Family are all between them. In this matter, no matter what, we cannot drag the people into it! "
