Zhenjiang is six days away from Beijing by train, when Xie Huai'an and Wu Xinyi arrived in the capital, Xie Huaichang had already presided over the funeral in Xie Mansion in the capital for a few days, Xie Daoyong had no son, and Mrs. Feng had a deep relationship with him, and suddenly heard the bad news, and he couldn't stand up from the station where he had already cried, fortunately there was a Xie Huaichang, otherwise I don't know who to count on for these things to be sent to.

Mrs. Feng was supported by Xie Wanxin, and she could barely see the wife she knew well in the inner room, and all the female relatives brought by Xie Daoyong's former colleagues who came to socialize were handed over to Xie Wanxian. Wei Yunru also rushed to help, these two young ladies from high families and noble courts treated people and guests in every way, which surprised many wives.

Xie Huai'an finally brought Wu Xinyi over to assist in the funeral, Xie Daoyong had no children under his knees, so Xie Daozhong took the initiative to order Xie Huaichang to inherit the second master's incense, and asked him to return to his hometown with filial piety.

Xie Huaichang sent Uncle Pan to drive the carriage to the train station to pick up the eldest brother and sister-in-law, Xie Huai'an was dusty, his face was quite tired, but he didn't say anything, and went to the inner room to change his filial piety clothes as soon as he got off the car, comforted Mrs. Feng and Wanxin, who had no master of the six gods, and left Wu Xinyi as the main companion of the inner court to receive the female dependents.

Everyone was very busy during the day, and it wasn't until the evening wake, when the guests dispersed, that Xie Huai'an had some time to ask Xie Huaichang for details: "What is going on?"

Xie Huaichang asked the eldest brother for a bandit cigarette, the tobacco leaves were very bad, burning the throat and both lungs fever, he smoked a whole cigarette very fiercely, lifted a little spirit, and said: "There was a car accident, the injury was very serious, it is said that the major artery was broken, there was too much blood loss, and when I arrived at the hospital, it was already dead, and even the second uncle and aunt were not able to see the last time." ”

Xie Huai'an's eyebrows tightened: "Who is the person who is driving?"

"A grain store truck driver, but didn't run, took the initiative to send my uncle to the hospital," Xie Huaichang said, "I contacted their owner, this person is just a flat-headed commoner, saying that he can't get the money out of compensation, let alone what can he do with the money? No amount of money can buy back my uncle's life." ”

Xie Huaian was speechless for a long time, and then smoked a bandit cigarette: "What's the point of asking for money." ”

Xie Huaichang sighed deeply: "There is one thing, I have been panicking in my heart, I don't know if it is really the eldest brother, on the day of my uncle's car accident, he came out of the presidential palace, I asked an acquaintance to inquire, it is said that I heard a dispute outside the president's office, saying that it was for the emperor's matter, I don't know if this matter is President Yuan"

"No," Xie Huai'an denied it without thinking about it, "The people who oppose President Yuan Da are high-ranking and powerful, and they don't know how many people respond to every call, if he wants to kill someone, it will never be the turn of his uncle to be a powerless petty official." ”

Xie Huaichang looked at him and shook his head slightly: "He wants to win over a high-ranking and powerful person, and those who respond to the call have openly opposed it, so it is inconvenient for him to start, if it is to vent his anger, is there a more suitable object than his uncle?"

Xie Huai'an was stunned, and suddenly laughed: "No, it's not him." ”

Xie Huaichang's eyes were already unkind when he stared at his brother, and he sneered: "My brother knows this president. ”

"Huaichang," Xie Huai'an said gently, "don't be rash, and don't impose the crime on others casually, tomorrow I will be here to keep a vigil, you go to the driver, just say that you don't want him to pay for his life or lose money, as long as you want him to come as a cow and a horse to serve his uncle, go and ask his owner to buy his deed of sale, if the owner can release him happily, or if he agrees with gratitude, then this matter may really be an unintentional mistake." ”

Xie Huaichang came back with a little reason, and immediately understood what Xie Huai'an meant, if Xie Daoyong's death was really ulterior motives, then the proprietor of the grain store or the driver who wanted to pay for his life, one of them would show his feet.

On the second day, Xie Huaichang went to find the proprietor of the grain store according to Xie Huai'an's intentions, but what people never expected was that the third situation appeared: the proprietor of the grain store said that the driver had committed homicide and had been detained by the police. ”

Xie Huaichang was very familiar with the police, and when he heard the proprietor say this, he was relieved, it was much more convenient for him to negotiate with the police than with the proprietor of the grain store.

He personally went to visit Lao He at the police department and asked him to take the driver away, but Lao He looked at him quite embarrassed: "I'm afraid this won't work." ”

Xie Huaichang said unexpectedly: "Why? He killed my uncle, I can't take care of this matter myself?"

"Our Republic of China has its own national law, killing people to pay off debts and paying money, this is public law, it is just and bright, no one can accuse anything, if you rashly take him away, it is the use of the death penalty, and it is reasonable to become unreasonable. Ershao, let's have a relationship, I can't watch you hurt yourself. ”

Xie Huaichang looked at him with an inquiring gaze, Lao He had calmly looked at him before, but after a while, he couldn't hold it anymore, he was defeated, and looked away: "It's useless for you to look at me like this, I can't be the master of this matter." ”

Xie Huaichang immediately asked, "Who told you to do this?"

"It's Yang Cheng from the Political Affairs Hall," Lao He said with a bitter face, "He came the day after the criminal's detention, and personally went to the cell to beat the man, and even I couldn't bear to see the ruthlessness of the attack, and he came out and said that this person would be punished heavily, and told him to follow him to the underworld and serve Master Xie." ”

The "Yang Cheng" in his mouth is Yang Shiqi, Xie Daoyong's top boss, although he is not close to him, but he has a long-term friendship, and now that Xie Daoyong has an accident, he will ask for severe punishment of the murderer, which is naturally reasonable.

Lao He added: "And Yang Cheng's meaning is that he wants to be executed on the first seven days of Old Man Xie, and Master Xie has a spirit in the sky, so he may be able to feel a little comforted." ”

Xie Huaichang sat in Lao He's chair, with a white cloth belt wrapped around his arm, thought for a moment, and said: "I will personally go to Yang Cheng and say, you have taken good care of the prisoner, if he has three long and two short before I come back, I will ask you as soon as I come." ”

When he arrived at the political affairs hall, he accidentally met Yuan Keding, who was talking to him in Yang Shiqi's office, and the secretary went in to pass on Vice President Xie's arrival, Yuan Keding's first reaction was to hide first, and he didn't want to meet Xie Huaichang.

Yang Shiqi left him behind, called Xie Huaichang in, and introduced him: "This is the eldest son of President Yuan, who can be regarded as your uncle who grew up, and it was very painful to hear this news, so he came to take care of your uncle and cousin for me, and just said that he wanted to allocate funds from the political hall to support their mother and daughter." ”

Xie Huaichang bowed to Yuan Keding: "Thank you, eldest son, I just want to take my cousin back to my hometown in Zhenjiang." ”

Yuan Keding's face was painful, and he nodded reluctantly: "That's fine, it's better to be in my hometown than their orphans and widows in the capital." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hold Yang Shiqi's desk desktop, showing a crumbling look: "When Uncle Heng and my father knew each other, when they both served under the command of Li Wenzhong of the former Qing Dynasty, when I was very young, my father had no time to take care of me when he went on an expedition, and Uncle Heng also took care of me for a while, on the day of his accident, I only met him, I never expected it to be the last one, I am simply me."

As he spoke, he couldn't stop crying.

Xie Huaichang was originally forced to be sad, he had the opportunity to go abroad thanks to Xie Daoyong, which is equivalent to the whole life changed because of him, and he has long regarded him as a re-created parent, and now listening to Yuan Keding talk about Xie Daoyong's old past, the image is getting closer and closer to the loving father in his heart, and he is even more embarrassed, and tears are shed.

Yang Shiqi stood in the middle to comfort them, his words were choked, and the three of them wept relatively together, startling the secretary who came in to deliver the documents, and didn't dare to say a word, so he quickly closed the door and went out.

Xie Huaichang didn't forget the purpose of this trip, and after crying for a while, he solemnly mentioned it, but he didn't say that he wanted to take the prisoner away, only that his uncle and aunt met the driver and asked Xie Daoyong something before leaving.

Yang Shiqi hid his face and said: "It's my unbearable balance, I originally wanted to arrest that person and immediately correct the law on the spot, and ask him to follow the person who went to serve Zhiheng, but the owner who hired him came to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and he had to take money to accompany the grain, so it was delayed." ”

Xie Huaichang said sadly: "Yang Cheng's friendship with my uncle, Huaichang remembers it in his heart. ”

Yang Shiqi nodded: "Why does Mrs. Xie want to see that beast who is not as good as pigs and dogs? It will only increase sadness, it is not beneficial, I think it is better for you to go to see him, Mrs. Xie wants to know something, you ask on her behalf, lest she be overly sad and hurt her heart." ”

This is also reasonable, Xie Huaichang couldn't find a reason to refute it at all, he slowed down in place for a while, and said: "My uncle wants to buy him, take him back to Zhenjiang, and guard my uncle's tomb." ”

Yang Shiqi said angrily: "Why do you need to use this person to be my brother Heng? This is what he mentioned? If he really wants to atone for his sins, he should kill himself quickly." ”

Xie Huaichang saw that his angry expression didn't look like a fake, and he couldn't help but say something to appease: "No, no, this is what my uncle and mother meant, and my eldest brother also agreed." ”

Yang Shiqi was shocked: "Your uncle is confused, how can you follow her to mess around? Isn't this even worse?"

Xie Huaichang said: "This is what she meant, and we juniors don't dare to be disobedient." ”

Yang Shiqi shook his head and said: "This has to be judged by the court, I can't talk to you at will, so let's do it, I'll send a document to the police department first, asking them to postpone the execution date, and you can find a lawyer to go to court with him and listen to the judge's verdict." ”

He could convict the driver of the death penalty without asking about the terms of the law, and now Xie Huaichang wants to pardon him, but he pulls up some legal provisions. Xie Huai'an asked him to test the meaning of the driver and the proprietor, but he didn't expect that it was Yang Shiqi who was hesitant in the end, could it be that Yang Shiqi killed Xie Daoyong?

But they had no grudges in the past, and no grudges in the near future, so what reason did he have to kill Xie Daoyong?

Xie Huaichang was speechless for a long time, Yuan Keding looked at his expression, and hurriedly added: "But if you want to see him, tomorrow I will have someone escort him to the mansion and take the guilt." ”

Xie Huaichang had nothing to say, so he could only owe to him: "Thank you, eldest son." "() "Jiangnan Family" only represents the author's views on the content of Lianpian, if it is found that its content violates the national law and contradicts the content, please delete it.
