Chapter 457 The Unlucky Zhang Family(1/2)

Zhang Xun did not expect Fu Jiuqu to use this trick.

He originally wanted to use this to force Xin Yi to reveal his true form and punish him for the crime of deceiving the emperor. However, he did not expect that they would simply use his true form to write down Mrs. Zhang's "living" will.

She wrote it herself, no matter who tries it, she will not be afraid.

In the midst of the discussion, Zhang Xun saw the incompetent fourth brother and found that he hit the key point.

"Prince of Guangling County." Zhang Xun said: "If you had a will, why didn't you take back the pharmacy, but let the Zhang family run it? Why does no one in the pharmacy know that you are the owner?"

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows.

"I can take my private property back whenever I want. Do I need to discuss it with Mr. Zhang?"

As soon as this statement came out, the Zhang family exploded.

Zhang Zhengxiang, Zhang Silang, Xiangling Liangren and the two brothers from Dafang were so quarreling that they wanted to tear each other apart.

Lu Gongbi picked up the gavel and slapped it heavily on the table.

"quiet!"

The lobby fell silent.

Lu Gongbi said: "Mr. Zhang doesn't know something. The prince has already changed the name of the medicine shop in the Yi Department and the Street Department. This is the certificate of the medicine shop. Please take a look at it, Mr. Zhang..."

He motioned to Master to come down to the hall and show his certificate.

Judging from the certificate, the pharmacy is indeed owned by the Prince of Guangling County.

Zhang Xun was shocked.

"Impossible! Mr. Lu, there must be some fraud in this..."

Fu Jiuqu chuckled and did not answer.

Lu Gongbi said: "In that case, we will adjourn today temporarily. We will make a decision after we have reviewed the records of the Yi Bureau and appraised the handwriting."

Fu Jiuqu chuckled and held his hands, "Lord Lu is wise."

Zhang Xun looked at him coldly, then walked away.

··

There was no need to wait until Lu Gongbi came to court again to make a decision, Zhang Xun got the answer he wanted from Mr. Xiao.

He was angry and anxious, "Why did Brother Xiao hide such a big thing from me?"

Master Xiao couldn't tell her the pain, so he bowed to her repeatedly to apologize.

"If I had known that brother Zhang Xian wanted to take back the medicine shop, I would have tried my best to offend the prince of Guangling County, but I would never have helped him... But brother Xian didn't mention this matter for many years, and brother Yu actually forgot about this grudge and hoped to see brother Xian.

Forgive me..."

Zhang Xun has always been known for his uprightness and heroic spirit when making friends with others. In the hearts of these people, he is a man with a strong sense of justice. Therefore, he was full of depression and found it difficult to vent, but he soon calmed down.

If he breaks with Mr. Xiao because of this matter, he will be messing up his position and playing into Fu Jiuqu's hands.

"That's all. Brother Xiao, you don't have to blame yourself. You were just used by him. Fu Jiuqu is a cunning and cunning person who is really difficult to deal with. No wonder Brother Xiao..."

Mr. Xiao laughed along with him and sighed, "This is because Brother Yu can't help you anymore."

"It doesn't matter. It's just a shop."

The two of them were talking about the situation, saying they were good brothers, but a dark knot formed in their hearts.

The incident on Ma Xing Street was causing quite a stir. Zhang Xun didn't believe that Mr. Xiao didn't know that he was going to file a lawsuit. He was also angry that Mr. Xiao was clinging to Fu Jiuqu despite knowing that he and Fu Jiuqu had a personal enmity.

Mr. Xiao felt that he was very unjust and was unreasonably accused by Zhang Xun.

The Prince of Guangling County had all the procedures in place, so why didn't he apply for a certificate? Zhang Xun never informed him in advance, so why did he blame him later?

The next day, Mr. Xiao went to court and was poisoned by ginseng.

It is said that when he was in charge of the City Council, he accepted huge bribes from merchants, built a mansion outside Jinshui Gate, and maintained dozens of private prostitutes, where he lived a daily life of lewdness.

The admonishment officer has evidence and cannot be denied.

Mr. Xiao is so popular.

These people are usually well-dressed and care about their feathers. What they do in private is secret and few people know about it, and Zhang Xun is one of the people who know about it.

Who else could be there besides him?

Mr. Xiao doesn't have anything to do with Zhang Xun. He keeps his integrity, doesn't like women, and is upright. Even if he goes out to eat and drink with them, he never looks for a girl...

But precisely because of this, Mr. Xiao felt that there was something wrong with Zhang Xun.

A person who has been together for many years and has no handle can only be said to be terrible.

The mouth of a civil servant and the pen of a civil servant are often the magic weapon to win in the court. Zhang Xun not only offended Mr. Xiao severely, but also made Mr. Xiao's party wary of him.

No one said anything, but when they saw that he was still friendly and kind, they felt close and distant in their hearts.

Without waiting for Lu Gongbi to make a decision, Zhang Xun's lawyer went to Kaifeng Mansion to withdraw the complaint.

After receiving the news, the Xinyi Medicine Shop was filled with joy and a big feast was held, which was more lively than during the Chinese New Year. The uncle of the Zhang family called his two sons back to the village that day and repaired the graves of their ancestors to apologize.

Zhang Xun rode back to Zhangjiacun.

People in the village said that he went to his late wife's grave, sat alone and drank wine, and returned at night.

He was very patient, as if nothing had happened, but his father and fourth brother who refused to calm down were different.

In Zhang's house on Chunxu Lane, there was mist and mist.

The cooked duck flew away, and the marriage finally arranged by Zhang Silang fell through.

Zhang Silang's reputation was so great that no one with some connections would push his daughter into a pit of fire. Zhang Zhengxiang gave a large sum of money to the matchmaker, and after some nice words, he talked about the daughter of a wealthy gentry in the west of the city.

The wealthy gentleman took a fancy to Zhang Xun's status and wanted to make friends with an official family, but the incident on Ma Xun Street became a big deal. The other party was afraid of offending the prince of Guangling County and the eldest princess, and he also found out that Zhang Silang was eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, which was very ineffective.

Waiting for daybreak, they came to the house that night and broke off the engagement.

"God, what kind of luck does our Zhang family have? God, please open your eyes and take a look..."

The mourning hall in front of the mansion and the mourners were evacuated today, and the smell of incense and paper money still lingered. Zhang Zhengxiang's cry was like crying as if his parents had died.

Zhang Silang was also angry.

"They bully people too much, they bully people too much. Dad, I'm going to buy some money for incense candles and paper. When the third brother comes back, we will also take people to the eldest princess's mansion to cause trouble, so that the neighbors can come and see their scandal...

"

As Zhang Silang said this, he turned around and bumped into Zhang Xun who was returning home.

He had a cold face.

"Stop it!"

"Third brother." Zhang Silang said bitterly: "Is it possible that it is so cheap for them? Do you know how profitable the pharmacy business is?"

He gestured with a number.

"That's not a pharmacy, that's a cash cow for the treasury. Brother, we can't swallow this hidden loss..."

Zhang Zhengxiang then gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

"Silang is right. It's strange that the little prostitute entered our Zhang family and then climbed into the king's bed..."

The father and son said something to each other, which made Zhang Xun have a splitting headache.

He felt an unknown anger rising in his heart. Looking at the two helpless family members, he opened the door fiercely.

"Go! If you don't feel embarrassed, just go and cry, go and make trouble, go to the mourning hall... Ha! Who do you think the eldest princess is? She is the emperor's biological sister! Whose spirit are you going to cry for? Weeping for the official family? Still crying

The ancestors of the official family? We, you, think our lives are too long!"

The necks of Zhang Zhengxiang and Zhang Silang slowly bent down.

"Then what do you say, we will listen to you..."

Zhang Xun sneered, stepped forward and kicked Zhang Silang.

"There's no need for you, you loser! Don't make trouble, that's just burning incense."

"Brother!" Zhang Silang was unconvinced and shouted at his back: "Don't think that because you have become a big official, you don't need brothers. If it weren't for your brothers, who would help you find a stable mother-in-law and do such unreasonable things?

Something?"

Zhang Xun paused in his steps and turned his head coldly.

Zhang Silang was horrified by his gaze and subconsciously took two steps back and covered his mouth.

"I made a mistake. I didn't know anything and didn't say anything. Brother, I was wrong. Don't argue with me..."

Zhang Xun stared at him and said, "Get out!"

Zhang Silang muttered softly.

"Get out of here, the marriage is ruined, let me go drink wine..."

That night, Zhang Silang did not return home.

He often stayed at Huanlou at night, and sometimes did not return home for several days. Neither Zhang Zhengxiang nor Zhang Xun, nor even the servants in the mansion, felt anything unusual.
