Chapter 162: The Seed of Doubt
It's a pity that when the people sent by Lao Xing found Huijing's house, the family had no one left alive except for a daughter-in-law who had gone crazy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info heard from the nearby villagers that in the middle of the night last night, I faintly heard the couple quarreling with this family, as if the man's conscience found that he wanted to take his ex-wife back, and now the widow who remarried did not agree, and then he started to move, the widow was beaten for a long time and resented and poisoned the rat poison in the family's breakfast, not wanting to accidentally poison even his three-year-old son, and he went crazy in fear......
"Hateful!" After Situ Jihua heard the news, a pair of sword eyebrows were raised, but he had a faint guess in his heart about the people behind the scenes. Although Taiyi Mountain is on the outskirts of Chang'an, it is not far from Chang'an City, and it can barely be regarded as the foot of the Son of Heaven, who has the courage and ability to kill people in this kind of place, and the few people to kill are not ordinary people but several elders of the Dugu clan with great status...... You can count it on your fingers. Among them, the most suspicious and motivated is probably his good uncle who is determined to go further!
"But what other clues can be found?" Situ Jihua didn't have much hope for finding out what was mixed in the blood swallow used by his grandmother along the line of Huijing's mother-in-law's house. He speculated that maybe it was the failure of the Jingxin Temple to kidnap people last time that gave Duguren a lesson, but this time his layout was a lot more subtle, and there was no accident of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches. But he still didn't give up and asked.
Lao Xing didn't disappoint him, although he didn't ask anything from the only living mouth, but he didn't give up looking for the famous doctors in Chang'an City to check the widow repeatedly, and finally confirmed that the widow was not crazy because she poisoned her son, but was poured a large amount of decoction made of ecstasy grass and went crazy.
"I heard the doctor say that the ecstasy grass grows in Tianzhu and boils into juice, and drinking too much can make people crazy and there is no cure. Very few people in the Central Plains know about it, let alone use it to harm people, and he also knew it because his ancestors had been imperial doctors in the palace and had seen it in the notes left by that one. The doctor was still hesitant and refused to tell the truth at first, but it took Lao Xing a lot of effort to make him spit out.
After hearing these words, Situ Jihua was basically sure that the mastermind behind the scenes must be Duguren! If you want to say that the harem can call the wind and rain now, except for the shy little cousin Duguxiu back then, she doesn't think about it as a second person. Even the harem is involved with my uncle, this time it's really not small!
Situ Jihua twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then turned around and went to the courtyard where the three Dugu Dudui brothers were resting. Since Hui Jing has no hope here, she has to think of a way to force Duguren to hand over the antidote or say what medicine she gave to her grandmother! Duguren does not hesitate to risk the crime of disobedience and unfilial piety to kill people, he must have an ulterior secret that Dugu Dui and a few people know, so he threatens each other, but he didn't expect Duguren to lose his heart, so he simply didn't do anything and never stopped getting rid of the troubles, and except for the people who pinched his handle! Among them, it is very likely that grandmother is also included. If you threaten Duguren with this secret, I'm not afraid that he won't give in!
At first, Dugu Du and Dugu Shun were reluctant to tell Situ Jihua the truth, after all, no matter how they said it, this was Dugu's family ugly, and Situ Jihua certainly had Dugu's blood on his body, but whether he was surnamed Situ or a young junior, such a shameful thing told him, and the two brothers felt a little unbearable on face. After hesitating for a long time, in the end, Dugu Eleven couldn't bear the hatred of breaking his leg, and unreservedly told Situ Jihua what he saw and heard in the Shu Mansion, and Dugu Du and Dugu Shun couldn't stop it.
Although Situ Jihua had expected that it must be a big secret that he could make Duguren take the risk of killing people, he really didn't expect that the truth was far more shocking than he guessed, so that he was stunned for a while before he confirmed with Dugu Dui, the leader of the three brothers: "Cousin Xiu'er is actually the illegitimate daughter of her uncle outside? What's even more incredible is that the grandmother who is upright and strict in her mind would help him hide the truth when she knows the truth, which is really hard to believe.
But at this time, he even didn't believe it, but he had to believe it, because after he asked this sentence, it was not Dugu Dui who answered him, but his grandmother Dugu, who was supported by Mrs. Situ and Ding Yiqing left and right, and suddenly pushed the door in.
"Yes, I do know about this!" In just one sentence, not only Situ Jihua was shocked, but also Dugu Dudu, the three of them and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law who supported her.
Mrs. Situ's first reaction after being shocked was to look around, looking around, front and back, left and right, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were indeed only a few masters in this courtyard, she finally knew why her aunt didn't let her follow.
"Grandmother is awake?!" After the shock, Situ Jihua came back to his senses in surprise.
Dugu ignored him, and after saying Fang Cai's words, he seemed to have unloaded the burden of many years, only to feel that his steps were much looser, and he threw off the two people who were supporting him, and saw that the Luohan bed in the room had been occupied by Dugu Eleven, who was recuperating from his injuries, and Wu picked up Zhang Taishi's chair and sat down. It was Ding Yiqing who took her husband's words and replied: "Probably God blessed, my grandmother woke up not long after you left, and I wanted to send someone to tell you so that you wouldn't worry, but my grandmother told her to hide the matter of waking up first, so she didn't tell you." ”
Mrs. Situ knew that Situ Jihua was not most concerned about this, so she added on the side: "Imperial Doctor Sun has checked your grandmother's pulse, and everything is fine." As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled at Dugu's family: "I think it's my aunt who has been worshiping the Buddha for many years and has been blessed by the Buddha." ”
Dugu was noncommittal, and only said lightly: "I'm old, what's the matter if I live more or less? Saying that, he looked apologetically at Dugu Eleven, who was lying on the bed of Luohan recuperating from his injuries, "You can't be hurt and be a fool." "Regardless of everyone's reactions, they will only slowly bring back the old days one by one.
"How can I have such a brother?!" In fact, Mrs. Situ and Duguren have a very good relationship, Duguren was not such a bastard when he was young, and his appearance was probably hovering in the first and second among teenagers of the same age, but unfortunately his intelligence was not worthy of his beauty, and he was only in the middle and upper middle and upper levels in reading and martial arts, but he also had a cousin who was amazing and brilliant and even more mediocre than him. But for Mrs. Situ when she was young, her brother is not the most outstanding, but he is the most in line with his own heart, he is not particularly smart, and he is stubborn, she can always find back the confidence that there is no scum left in her sister's back, even if he gets into trouble, he carries the black pot, and occasionally makes noise but always wins by himself, such a brother is like a glass of warm water when he is thirsty, not too hot and not too cold, and the entrance is just right. I don't know when, her not too good and not too bad brother has changed, and he has drifted away from her, and he is no longer the one she remembers who will be bullied by her, and get into trouble with her, and always be unlucky to be punished for carrying the black pot for her, and he will ignore her every once in a while, but he can't help but come over to talk to her after a few hours, sometimes he is more like a child's brother than her......
If Mrs. Situ's words are still angry, she scolds Duguren, and Dugu Dui complains about Dugu's who knows everything but has been tight-lipped. "Eldest sister, how can you be so confused?!" Dugu Twilight has always respected his sisters, except for the deceased Empress Dowager Dugu, who listened to this eldest sister the most, and he has never contradicted her for decades, but today he stared at Dugu Clan's eyes full of disappointment and indignation," You are the eldest daughter in the family, and you have been a role model for your younger siblings since you were a child, I have always been upright and strict who would have thought that you would take in Wang Qi, who did not abide by women's morals, and also connived at Shoukang to leave an illegitimate daughter, connived at him to corrupt the rules of the Dugu clan, and even connived at him to bully the monarch and ignore the future of the Dugu clan's century-old reputation!
"Third uncle!" Mrs. Situ saw that Dugudu's words were really serious, and couldn't help but defend her mother-in-law: "You can't say this, it's my brother who is not angry, how can he blame his aunt?
"You don't have to speak for me. Before Dugu Du could speak, Dugu had already counted his own wrongs, "Your third uncle is right, whether you take it in or leave Duguxiu, you don't have to be a woman, I will be half responsible for what your brother did today!"
"Aunt......" Mrs. Situ wanted to comfort her for a few words, but was stopped by Dugu Clan's raised hand, she looked at Dugu Dudu, who was still angry, and her eyes were already full of wrinkles and calm, "But now is not the time to be held responsible, whether I have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors after my death is also my business, don't bother the third brother! The most important thing now is how to restore the reputation of the Dugu clan and revive the rules of the Dugu clan, you can't ask Shoukang to lead the Dugu clan astray!"
"The matter can only be dealt with privately. Dugu Shun, who had been listening quietly and did not express his opinion, finally spoke, and under Dugu Eleven's resentful and unwilling gaze, Dugu Shun said unhurriedly: "Dugu Ren has violated the clan rules, bullied the king, and may even murder his relatives, these crimes add up to enough for him to die, but for the sake of Dugu's century-old reputation, these can't be put on the bright side, we can only think of a quiet disposal!"
