Chapter 534 Big Brother Joins the Battlefield
Xu Jingxi was about to take a step forward, but was pulled behind by Xie Mingan.
He looked like a second brother, blocking his younger brother.
"I beat your son. If you have any problems, come to me. If you want to go to the government, I will accompany you." Xie Mingan said coldly.
Madam Wu frowned and looked at him. The servant beside her came close and reminded him in a low voice.
"Madam, this person is not easy to mess with. The young master offended the two sons of the Xie family. The one in front of him is Xie Mingan, the Minister of the Dali Temple!"
Madam Wu's eyebrows jumped.
Her family's devil usually told him to be careful outside.
Don't provoke people who are difficult to deal with.
Why did he offend the Xie family this time?
Madam Wu was only flustered for a moment, and she calmed down immediately.
"Thank you, sir. I have heard of your great name for a long time. You and my master are both officials in the same court. Logically, we should not be so hostile when we meet."
"But my family has only one son, Wu Ke. I heard that your third young master beats him without explanation. You should at least give us an explanation, right?"
"Otherwise, we can only ask the emperor to come forward to judge. How can there be someone so arrogant and domineering under the emperor's feet? Do you really think there is no law in the capital?"
Xu Jingxi frowned.
He stood up: "I was right to start first. Wu Ke belittled and insulted other ladies in public. I couldn't stand it, so I taught him a lesson."
Mrs. Wu laughed: "Do you have a witness?"
Xu Jingxi's eyes were stern, and she immediately understood that Mrs. Wu came prepared.
How could she not know what Wu Ke had done.
She came here today not to seek justice, but to protect her son.
Xie Mingan pulled his third brother behind him, glanced at him sideways, and whispered: "I will deal with this kind of rogue. You are too young, be careful not to fall into their trap."
After that, Xie Mingan said to Mrs. Wu: "We will go to the government now. Let the government intervene in the investigation and we can figure out the reasons."
Mrs. Wu was waiting for him to say this.
"Then please come, Mr. Xie."
The dignified Dali Temple was invited to the government office for tea because of a fight in a brothel.
The next day, rumors will surely spread throughout the capital. This is the effect that Mrs. Wu wants.
Even if the Xie family cannot be defeated, a piece of meat must be torn off from them!
Xie Mingan was about to take a step and follow, but unexpectedly, the thugs brought by Mrs. Wu were not honest.
They wanted to tie up Xie Mingan with a rope like a criminal.
Xu Jingxi saw it and immediately shouted: "Second brother, be careful!"
Xie Mingan was prepared. He grabbed the other party's hand with a gloomy face.
"Madam Wu, didn't I make it clear just now? I went to the government office to ask them to help investigate, not to plead guilty. What do you want to do?"
Madam Wu smiled: "Don't be angry, Mr. Xie. The people below are stupid and didn't understand what we meant. I will come to your house to apologize after the matter is investigated."
How shameless.
If Xie Mingan hadn't resisted, Madam Wu would definitely want to tie him up and take him to the government office.
If the people saw it, what would they say?
At this moment, a shout came from the door: "Let go of my second brother!"
Before everyone could come to their senses, a fierce figure kicked over.
Kicked the thugs around Xie Mingan away directly.
Xie Mingan and Xu Jingxi were both startled. After seeing who was coming, they said in unison: "Brother?"
Why did Xie Mingxu come back?
Didn't he come to help supervise the repair of the imperial mausoleum?
Xie Mingxu came back tonight to get a change of clothes and visit his sister.
He had promised Shen Ningning that he would take time to come back after the spring and fly kites with her.
Unexpectedly, when he rode past the brothel, he heard onlookers say that Madam Wu was looking for trouble with the son of the Xie family.
He squeezed in and saw that it was true.
Those thugs wanted to disrespect his second brother.
As the eldest brother, he was always calm and self-controlled, and he could beat and scold his younger brother at home.
But outside, he would never allow anyone to bully the Xie family.
So at this moment, Xie Mingxu grabbed the collar of the thug and punched him on the head.
The fierce punches fell on the opponent like raindrops.
After a while, when he stood up and looked at Madam Wu with cold and dark eyes, the latter was frightened by the murderous aura emanating from him.
The whole hall was full of thugs who were crying out in pain and couldn't get up.
Madam Wu was pale and her lips trembled with anger.
"You, you... are really going too far, General Xie, your two brothers beat my son so hard that he was bleeding and almost fainted, and you came up to help them without saying anything. So this is the upbringing of your Xie family?"
Hearing this, Xie Mingxu glanced at his two brothers behind him.
Xie Mingan's thin lips moved: "Brother..."
He winked.
Xie Mingxu understood and looked at Mrs. Wu again with cold eyes.
"It is not the turn of others to point fingers at the upbringing of our Xie family. No matter what happened today, I will take people to the Wu family to discuss tomorrow after I understand the situation clearly."
"But before that, no one can take my brother away from under my nose."
After speaking, Xie Mingxu said to the two people behind him in a deep voice: "Come back to the mansion with me and make it clear."
He strode out, and Xie Mingan and Xu Jingxi followed him with their heads down.
Mrs. Wu looked at Xie Mingxu, who was as tall as a mountain, and passed by her, and did not dare to stop him.
Just staring, watching the three brothers go together.
"It's outrageous!" She waved her sleeves fiercely: "Send someone to tell the master, it's terrible, they are going to ride on our Wu family's head and bully us!"
...
Shen Ningning slept well.
She didn't know that her three brothers came back secretly in the middle of the night.
Then she was pulled out of the quilt by her father Xie Suzhi and second uncle Xie Dizhi and taken to the study for interrogation.
A night passed and the sky was bright.
After breakfast, Shen Ningning was about to take Muchun and Wanchun out.
But she saw that the housekeeper Pang who was coming was full of worry.
"Uncle Pang, what's wrong with you? You are depressed since early morning. Who said that you are unhappy?" Shen Ningning asked with a smile.
Housekeeper Pang was stunned and sighed helplessly.
"Your Highness, you went to bed early last night, so you may not know that the eldest, second and third young masters knelt in the study room all night. The master was angry and did not allow them to eat, asking them to reflect on themselves."
"What?" Shen Ningning was surprised.
She was used to the fact that her second brother made mistakes and was punished.
But her eldest brother was always steady, and her third brother Xu Jingxi was a good boy in the eyes of his father and second uncle.
How did they get punished?
Shen Ningning asked as she walked towards the study room, "What happened?"
"Hey! I heard that the second and third young masters had a fight with the young master of the Wu family in the brothel because of a trivial matter."
Butler Pang lowered his voice, "The head was broken. The doctor sent by the master came back and said that there were three blood holes and half of the hair was pulled out."
Shen Ningning found it incredible.
She really couldn't imagine why Xu Jingxi, such a calm person, would fight with others in a brothel.
The girl thought for a moment and said, "Go prepare breakfast now. The brothers haven't eaten all night. Ask the kitchen to make something warm and nourishing."
"Yes."
While talking, Shen Ningning was already standing outside Xie Suzhi's study.
She heard Xie Suzhi's scolding voice coming from inside.
"You guys disappoint me so much."
