The emperor glanced at the "Impeachment of Li Jingyi Shu" on the table in front of him, and looked at Xue Jian who was standing bowed in front of him with a smile.

"Why did Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple provoke you?" He pointed to the impeachment letter, "You have listed ten crimes against him." ”

Xue Jian's face was not red and her heart was not beating, and she replied generously: "Weichen is a fake public and private. ”

"Hmph." The emperor laughed at him mockingly, picked up the impeachment letter, only read the first article, and said, "Li Jingyi still bribes?" With whom? White phase? ”

Xue Jian looked disdainful, "Bai Xiang confiscated, Master Li is considered an attempted bribe." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, stretched his body back, and picked a comfortable posture to lean on the circle chair, "I look at it too, how can Li Jingyi look at it like that." If it can enter his eyes, I am afraid that the Bai family will be almost the same. He nodded again, "Come on, I'm too lazy to look at it." ”

Xue Jian looked helpless, "The minister is really fake this time." ”

The emperor looked at Xue Jian for a long time, this man who has no relatives and no reason, can call him a fake public and private, it is about Xie Wu. He raised his chin at Xue Jian and motioned for Xue Jian to continue.

"The two girls of Xie Shenzhi's family have married to the family of Li Jingyi in Nanzhili, and now one is dead, and the other has barely escaped, but he is injured. The minister's engong and the marriage of the Xie family were also detained by the Li family, and now life and death are uncertain. Xue Jian said, "Which official is innocent?" Wechen didn't dare to say such things. Master Li is a bastard in the sky, but if you really want to make a mistake, it is two large pigtails. According to the royal history, everything is said to the big inside, not the national beetle is also the national beetle. ”

The emperor smiled and tapped Xue Jian with his finger. Then he sank his mind and thought for a moment, "Your daughter-in-law went to Nanzhili to seek justice for her sister?" ”

Xue Jian said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, this is not yet married." Then he quickly whispered, "The old lady of the Wei family also went, and I also invited the old princess to suppress the formation." ”

There are more old princesses in the capital, and the emperor doesn't have to think about it at all, he knows which old princess Xue Jian is talking about. I'm afraid it's the only one, who doesn't want to be idle when he's old, and runs out as much as he wants, and doesn't want to think about what the Qiyang Wang couple are worried about.

The emperor smiled: "I'm afraid that the old princess is thinking of Mrs. Cao, otherwise I won't be able to move even if I go." ”

Xue Jian was noncommittal, "The old princess is a kind-hearted person. ”

"Kindness, not stupidity." The emperor put the impeachment letter aside and asked Mr. Li to put it away.

Xue Jian saw that Manager Li had received the impeachment letter, and a big stone fell in his heart. This is what the emperor meant.

Sure enough, on the second day, the pot exploded in the court. Xue Jian rarely folds up, as soon as he goes up, he is impeached and sparse, and he has to break off the five-grade officials in the court. The imperial historians are very happy, and feel that they have a successor, although they are a little unpleasant to Xue Jian on weekdays, they feel that his writing is very high.

"Nice, young man." Mrs. Liu patted Xue Jian's shoulder with a smile, and left tremblingly with the support of her colleagues.

Being praised so much by Mrs. Liu, the gaze cast by the hundred officials on Xue Jian was a little more different.

Xue Jian is waiting, according to the rule, he can't be a master, but if he does it properly, he can have a force to compete with the prime minister of the civil government.

Thinking about it like this, there are not a few people who are willing to slap horses. However, Xue Jian slipped away early and was not caught. Chai Jin looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.

Li Jingyi couldn't have imagined that although he was an old oilman, he was also in the right and left directions. He couldn't figure out where he offended Xue Jian, and the words on the note were not polite. And no one has informed him about this matter, otherwise he would have escaped this catastrophe if he thought of a way to give Xue Jian a gift. No matter how bad it is, it's good to let your sister blow the pillow wind in front of the emperor. Now he has been dismissed from his official position, staying at home and waiting for the people from the criminal department to come to the door, and no one dares to perfunctory the people who were ordered to be arrested by the emperor himself.

Xue Jian stood at the door of Li Jingyi's house, watching coldly as the people from the Criminal Department entered, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping inside. Li Jingyi didn't shout enough about injustice in the court, and when he was arrested, he also shouted all the way out of his home. However, he was still a smart man, and he didn't curse Xue Jian at the sky. If you don't follow Xue Jian's careful eyes, you will definitely say hello to the criminal department and ask him to be entertained in prison.

Without waiting for Li Jingyi, who was shouting wronged, to come out, Xue Jian left. The emperor's meaning asked him to run to Nanzhili with the holy decree. On the surface, it was to see if Li Jingyi's family had done illegal things in the local area, and the latter meaning was self-evident between the two of them.

Because it was the emperor's order and he was still carrying the holy decree on his body, Xue Jian was different this time, and he rushed to Nanzhili with only a few people. Instead, he pulled up the posture of the Qincha, and took the honor guard all the way from the capital to the south as an angel.

Xie Liangying, who was in Nanzhili, hadn't received a letter from Xue Jian'er yet, and she was talking to Shuangjue, who had come back from the night scout of Li's mansion.

Shuangjue tried back and forth in the garden to make sure that the bottom was empty, but he couldn't find the intersection to enter the water prison. But even so, Shuangjue also has unexpected gains.

Xie Liangying looked at the waist card of the Yunyang Hou Mansion, which had been burned to the ground, and his heart sank. Lao Xue is afraid that he has already suffered misfortune.

The waist card was turned out by Shuangjue from the brazier in Mrs. Li's room, and Mama was going out to pour it with the burnt brazier. Shuangjue thought that maybe there would be something useful in it, so he went to look through it. Unexpectedly, on a whim, he found evidence that the Li family really caught Lao Xue.

Shuangjue's eyes were red, her light skills were taught by Lao Xue, and she was half an apprentice. Most of the waist cards in the Marquis of Yunyang are similar, but Lao Xue's is different, so she recognized it at a glance. She said in a hoarse voice, "Madame, don't worry too much, maybe ...... Is Lao Xue still alive? and was locked up in a water cell. ”

Xie Liangying gently brushed the half of the waist card, feeling very sad. Even if they are still alive, counting the days they were caught, they have been in the water prison for more than half a month, and Lao Xue is no matter how good his physique is, he is afraid that his legs will be damaged by soaking.

I went back to Beijing, how should I explain to Bi Yuan.

Shuangjue endured his grief and said, "Madam, now we should find a way to officially enter the Li family to search." ”

Xie Liangying paced back and forth in the house, and suddenly asked, "Is there a mass grave outside the city?" ”

"Yes, on the hill a little further east of the city. When we came, we hit the north side, so we didn't pass by. Shuangjue said, "What does Madame mean?" ”

"Go to the mass grave and find the bones of unburied death row prisoners and bury them at the south wall of the Li family. Remember to bury it shallowly so that it is easy to be found. Xie Liangying thought about it again and overturned her thoughts, "No, scatter the bones on the drainage path outside the mansion." It has been raining in Nanzhili these days, and once it is washed away by the water, the bones will be scattered, and the whole city will know about it at that time. We don't have to arrange people to dig it up, which adds to the risk. ”

Shuangjue answered, and went to the mass grave to find the bones.

Although Xie Liangying made up her mind, she didn't dare to trust it, so she went to find the old lady Wei and the old princess, and told them all about her plan.

After hearing this, Old Madam Wei and Old Princess glanced at each other and said, "I think it's feasible." ”

The old princess also said: "After the heavy rain, the bones will be scattered along the drainage channel of the Li family all the way to the south of the city." When the time comes, people will be panicked, and there is a reason to find someone who has a grudge against the Li family to sue the official. ”

Xie Liangying got their nod, then put his mind at ease and waited for Shuangjue to come back.

Three days later, it rained heavily all night in Nanzhili.

Shuangjue wore a robe that couldn't block the rain at all, and took advantage of the night to put the bones in the drainage channel closest to the Li family's garden, and then evaded the curfew patrol and slipped back to Feng Xiang's mansion.

Xie Liangying and Zeng had been waiting for her, and when they saw that she was wet, as if she had just fallen into the river, they hurriedly asked her to go to the room to change her clothes.

Shuangjue was drenched in the rain and was so cold that he hurried back to the house.

Xie Liangying had already asked his subordinates to boil the hot water for bathing, and Shuangjue soaked it in a wooden barrel to wash away the fatigue of the night. After soaking for a while, Shuangjue got up to wipe her hair, she knew that Xie Liangying was still waiting for her to go over.

The subordinates of the Feng Mansion brought a bowl of freshly boiled ginger soup at this time, knocked on the door, and got Shuangjue's response before coming in. She put the ginger soup on the table, "Miss Shuangjue, drink it while it's hot, this is what your girl specially instructed us to boil in the kitchen." ”

Shuangjue smiled and thanked him, picked up the ginger soup and drank it all. The ginger soup is boiled with excellent old ginger, which is very spicy, and the effect of dispelling cold is needless to say. As soon as Shuangjue drank it, he felt that his body was warm, and there were faint signs of sweating.

The maid who brought the ginger soup saw that Shuangjue had finished drinking, so she took the bowl back to the kitchen.

After bunching up his half-dried hair and changing into clean clothes, Shuangjue went to see Xie Liangying in good spirits.

When Xie Liangying saw her coming, she hurriedly asked her to sit down and asked Zeng's to take her pulse.

Shuangjue stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Madame, don't worry, but a rain is nothing." "I think when she went on a mission in the past, she couldn't say a word in the ice and snow. If you are sick, you have to hold on to complete the task.

Xie Liangying didn't think so, "What girls are most afraid of is the cold." It doesn't matter if you're young now, but what if you get married in the future? Are you going to have a baby? I remember you hurt so much every time you came to the dehydrate, right? It's all the root of the disease that fell before, and now when I'm still reluctant to marry you out, I'm quickly conditioning my body. ”

Shuangjue didn't expect Xie Liangying to be so careful. The subordinate is different from the master, the master is in pain, and he can still lie on the bed to rest, but the subordinate is not so well treated. I have to endure the pain and serve. That pain is bearable for Shuangjue, it's not that he broke his hands and feet, it hurts very badly. It's just that the pain is not severe, blunt, but very abrasive.

Zeng Shi took the pulse for a while, and said with a smile: "Ah Ying really looks at people carefully, don't you see that it is a disease of palace cold?" She glanced at Shuangjue, "You can't rely on your young age to take it seriously, and wait for the hardships of your age." ”

Shuangjue smiled embarrassedly, and his mind drifted far away.

Xie Liangying didn't ask Shuangjue how things were done, she knew Shuangjue's temperament. If things don't go well, or if they are not completed, Shuangjue will never be persuaded by her to wash up first, but immediately kneel down and ask for guilt.

Now that they have done everything they need to do, they are waiting to see if God is willing to be on their side.

A night of heavy rain washed the entire Nanzhili clean. The sky was blue and blue, with clouds that were almost transparent on the white ground. The air was filled with the freshness of the smell of earth after the rain, and the compacted mud on the street was made small pits by the raindrops, and after being trampled on, it was restored again. The potholes on the bluestone slabs carry small puddles, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. When the people of the city saw that the rain had stopped, they came out one after another.

Thus began a day in the city.

In the Yingtian Mansion of Nanzhili, Fu Yin was being served from the concubine's room. Nanzhili is not better than the capital, and it is necessary to go to court. When officials go to the yamen to order a meal, they can hold a book, pour a bowl of tea, and kill the day. As Ying Tianfu does, as long as there is nothing to do, there is no need for a little bit. Anyway, some trivial things have their own people to do.

Ying Tianfu Yin's master was in a hurry in the yamen early, but at the back of the mansion was the back house of Fu Yin, and all the female dependents lived in it, and he was a big man who couldn't go over. Although he had already called the little guy to go in to urge, the anxious master felt that every drop of leakage had passed a year.

It was easy to see Fu Yin who came out yawning, and the master was busy bowing down, forgetting even the usual greetings, and said straightly: "My lord, something happened!" ”

Something happened, and Shengsheng stuffed back Fu Yin's unfinished yawn. He said, "What's the matter?" ”

Nanzhili is the capital of the company, and the sky and people have always been safe, and nothing major has happened. The people who live in the city, except for the thorn head of the Li family, there is no one else who needs him to worry about. Fu Yin's heart was raised, could it be that something happened to the Li family? Then I am afraid that I have to hurry over, in case I offend the difficult old lady Li, I am afraid that I will not think about transferring back to the capital.

The master was sweating in a hurry, "Before returning to the yamen this morning, the curfew patrol team found scattered white bones near Li's house. Although some have been cleaned up, it still falls a little. Now the people who live in the south of the city have found out, and there is a lot of talk in the city. The big guys all said that the Li family had done all the evil things on weekdays, and now there was such a scene, and God was coming to collect people. ”

Fu Yin doesn't take this seriously, "It's good to rely on those gossips, anyway, after a while, I will be bored, and I should settle the matter." ”

The master stomped his feet, "My lord! If it's just a rumor, how can I tell you as a matter? But as soon as the yamen opened this morning, someone came in with a letter to sue the Li family, saying that the bones should be the boy whose family had been missing for a year. ”

Ying Tianfu Yin has always turned a blind eye to the Li family, as long as no one reports to the official, he will let the Li family go. Who will make a good son from a family teacher? is to report to the official, and he also turns big things into small things, and small things into small things. Only the human life lawsuit is this, and it must not be passed so lightly. If I want to go to the capital, I still rely on the assessment of entering the capital once every three years. Like him, he said that he was the governor of the government, but in fact, there was no essential difference between the ordinary prefect and the county order, but they were all parents and officials who were in charge of the people's livelihood and people's livelihood.

One of the most important aspects of the evaluation of the parents is to look at the criminal case. The fewer cases in the land he governs, the better, which means that he governs with benevolence and influences the people. In addition to ordinary cases, the emperor of this dynasty paid special attention to homicides, if there were too few homicide cases solved in three years, and too many were accumulated, no matter how good his ability was, he would only have to be assessed by a middle and lower level.

Fu Yin figured out this joint, just like the master, sweating and soaking through the official uniform he had just put on. He glanced at the master and calmed down, "What does the master think?" ”

The master is also in trouble, although he has been persuaded to go back, but he has accepted the situation - the people are watching from the sidelines, if they don't answer, they will directly sue Feng Xiang, and a big hat that ignores public opinion will be buttoned down, whether he wants to be this master.

Feng Xiangsu looked good at talking, but I don't know if it was because he had a hard life when he was a child, so he especially couldn't see the people being wronged, but there was no way to sue. As long as people run to the door of his house and cry, the resolute Feng Xiang will kill him mercilessly. The reason why the emperor put Feng Xiang in Nanzhili was also to let him avoid risks and block the mouth of the prince Yushi.

After thinking for a long time, the master said: "I have already accepted the case, but my lord, in order to prevent someone from making false accusations, I still have to send someone to track down the source of the white bones." Look at where the top is, if it is not from the Li Mansion, it may also be a dark river outside, isn't there a dark river outside the south of the city? ”

Ying Tianfu Yin touched his goatee. The unfinished meaning of the master's words, he understands that the two have dealt with affairs together for several years, and this idea is still tacit. Push the matter all to the dark river, and people won't talk anyway, whatever you want. The white bones can't see the original appearance clearly, how can they be sure that it is their own family? He can still say that this is a traitor from the previous dynasty. is so ambiguous, when the time comes, not only will you not offend the Li family, but also give an explanation to the people. Even Feng Xiang is easy to pass there.

"Just do what you say."

As soon as Fu Yin's voice fell, a servant came from outside the door to report, "My lord, master, there are a few families at the door who want to hand over the letter to come in." ”

Fu Yin and the master glanced at each other and said, "Take them all in, and people will persuade them to go back first." ”

"Yes."

Fu Yin squinted and thought about it, and instructed the master: "I think, you still have to write a notice." In any case, first pacify the people. As soon as this matter is concerned, Ying Tianfu will immediately send someone to review it, and once there is a result, he will inform the people. ”

"I'll go."

After the master left, Fu Yin thought about it and found a small servant from the back house, "You, go to the Li family, remember not to let anyone see you." Go and tell Mrs. Li what happened in the government today, and ask her to make an idea, there are some things, that is, I must not go against the will of the people. ”

The little servant repeated Fu Yin's words, and after making sure that it was correct, he slipped through the small alley and went to the back door of Li's house.

The masters in the Li family's house didn't know what was going on outside. On the contrary, the back door had to send things from Zhuangzi every day, and the people in the house took advantage of the gap between unloading and gossiping with each other. They saw the little servants of the Fu Yin family coming from a distance, and they were busy parting one by one, closing their mouths, bowing their heads and pretending to be very busy. When they got closer, they smiled like flowers on their faces.

"Your Excellency is doing well."

The little guy replied impatiently, "Your Excellency is fine." Then he asked, "Is the old lady at home?" ”

"Comfortable, you should just get up now."

The little guy is a person who is used to running the Li family, and everyone in the house knows him. So after getting the news that Mrs. Li was there, he went straight into the house, and when he arrived at the second gate, he asked his mother-in-law to tell him for himself.

Mrs. Li was gargling with a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and when she heard her mother-in-law come to report that the little maid of the Yin family was coming, she frowned, "Didn't I just meet his wife a few days ago, I told him about being transferred to Beijing, I will tell that son, why did he call someone over again?" Can't you trust me, this old woman? ”

The grandmother beside her smiled and said, "I'm afraid my lord is in a hurry, how many years have you been in Nanzhili?" ”

Old Madam Li pouted, "I'm still in a hurry, Jingyi has been reluctant to take me into Beijing." What is there to stay in Nanzhili, how can it be compared to the capital. Saying this, he was also relieved of Fu Yin's anxiety, "Call someone in." ”

The mother-in-law brought in in a short time. The little maid of the Fu Yin family is more faceless than others, and does not reply in the courtyard, but can go into the house to talk to Mrs. Li.

As soon as he entered the house, the little maid told Mrs. Li what happened in the mansion today.

"Is there such a thing?" Old Madam Li was shocked, but her face was still calm, "These ignorant and foolish people, looking at our Li family's wealth, don't want to think about it, if they really don't accumulate virtue, how can they save this huge family property." I'm tired of going back and telling my lord, please be sure to give our Li family justice. ”

"Nature, nature." The little guy wiped the sweat from his face, "The little one will go back." ”

Mrs. Li glanced at the grandmother beside her, and the grandmother hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed a purse in the little girl's hand, "I'm sorry for you to run." ”

The little guy won the reward, but he was not very happy in his heart. He thought the same as the people in the city, and felt that those white bones should be the sins created by the Li family. Although the money is hot, it is not taken for nothing. After thanking Mrs. Li, he went back the same way and slipped away through the back door. After walking out of a distance, he hummed "bah" in the direction of the Li family in a place where no one could see, shook the purse in his hand, and went back to the yamen to return to Fu Yin.

Old Madam Li sat in the room uneasily, panicking for a while. She asked, "What happened to the two men in prison?" ”

Mama said: "I have been soaking in the water for more than half a month, and the food has been moved, and the person is still alive." But I'm afraid the whole person is useless. ”

Do you want to move people out of the country and go somewhere else? Mrs. Li couldn't make up her mind, and was about to find a few sons to come over to discuss, so she heard the porter come to report again.

"Old lady, the Xie family is here."

Xie family?! Old Madam Li frowned, coming over at this time, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. But she can't stop her in-laws from seeing each other, then it's not a marriage or a feud. Although the Xie family is not as powerful as before, they are still Beijing officials in the end, and they are people with heads and faces in front of the emperor.

"Who's coming?" Old Madam Li asked. She thought in her heart that the old lady Xie at the head of the Xie family would not come, and she heard that she was raising her in bed. Although Mrs. Xie is the mother of her unfilial daughter-in-law, she will not come, how can the grave woman not serve her mother-in-law. Mrs. Sanfang is Mrs. Xie's mother's family, but I heard that she has been sick for a long time and has not recovered.

After calculating it, there was only the Ling family in the second room.

However, the porter's answer was beyond Mrs. Li's expectations, "It's the five girls of the Xie family, and our lady's grandmother." ”

Mrs. Li asked, "Except for the five girls in the Xie family, there is no lady next to them?" ”

"Nope."

Mrs. Li is relieved now, a little girl, what can she do. "Hurry up and let Miss Xie Wu in, my daughter's family is delicate and expensive, but don't catch a cold outside."

The little servant got the order and went out to put Xie Liangying and Old Lady Wei's carriage in from outside. The grandmother sent by Mrs. Li had been guarding the second door for a long time, and as soon as they got out of the car, they welcomed them in to see Mrs. Li.

Old Madam Li deliberately put Xie Liangying aside, and smiled at Old Madam Wei: "Although our two families are far apart, they can be regarded as in-laws. ”

Old Madam Wei dodged her outstretched hands blindly, and let out a faint "um".

Old Madam Li couldn't hold it on her face, this was a rare time after she meditated on the Li family, and she was ignored like this. Maybe when she was young, under her mother-in-law, Mrs. Li could still plan for the future and endure for a while. But now after years of experience, she has completely lost the patience she had when she was young.

"Dare to ask Old Madam Wei and Miss Xie Wu what they are doing here."

Xie Liangying asked expressionlessly: "Dare to ask the old lady, where is my second sister who married into the Li family at this time?" ”

Old Madam Li glanced at Xie Liangying coldly, "Haven't you heard?" It's no wonder that you just arrived in Nanzhili. She relaxed the tense expression on her face, raised her chin, and didn't look at Xie Liangying, "Your Xie family is really a good tutor!" I actually taught a girl who eloped with someone! I haven't asked you for someone yet, but I actually called the door. ”

"Oh? Elope? Xie Liangying brushed her gaze over Old Madam Li's face, and looked at the grandmothers beside her one by one with a piercing gaze, "Dare to ask the old lady, since you are so sure, can you tell who the adulterer is?" Is it in the house, or outside the house? If it is outside the mansion, I will ask the old lady, my second sister serves your old man in the mansion all day long, and she has no chance to go out of the mansion to meet any outsiders. Which one of the people in the house put people in? I don't know if the old lady can be punished? ”

She put her gaze back on Old Madam Li's face, "If it is in the house, the Li family's family style is so frivolous, and they actually let the little maid enter and leave the back house." ”

Old Madam Wei stopped Xie Liangying, and glared at Old Madam Li with indignant eyes, "I just want to ask, where is my granddaughter now?" Where are the people under her dowry? Without waiting for the other party to talk, she burst into tears, "I only have one daughter, and of the two daughters she gave birth to, one of them was folded in your Li family, and the other is now missing." I only ask you, the white bones outside, but my poor second granddaughter?! ”

"Ridiculous!" Old Madam Li took the case, "If you suspect that our Li family is murderous, go directly to Tianfu to sue you." Now they rush to our house, and they want to ask people for sin without asking, there is no such reason in the world! ”

"There is no such reason."

When Mrs. Li heard an unfamiliar voice, she couldn't help but look at it. I saw a graceful and luxurious white-haired old lady walking over with the support of Mrs. Cao. The two of them were followed by a series of shouting officials.

"Mrs. Cao, what are you going to do here?" Old Madam Li stared at the concierge who couldn't stop people and followed all the way, "What are you eating?!" I didn't even come in and make a report. ”

The little guy was about to cry, "The little one wants to stop it, but I can't stop these officials." ”

The white-haired old lady is the old princess. She moved her body to the side at this moment, revealing the officials of the Heavenly Mansion behind her. "I just can't rest assured that the Wei family is here, so come and take a look." She glared at the leader of the catcher, "Didn't Feng Xiang ask you to come to search the house?" What are you doing one by one? Not sooner. ”

Feng Xiang?! Old Madam Li felt a little stunned, she looked at Xie Liangying, who was full of righteous indignation on the side, and supported Old Madam Wei who was crying silently. "You sued the yamen?"

Xie Liangying said coldly: "If there is a lawsuit for human life, it is natural to report to the official." We are serious people, how can we use lynching. ”

These words were obviously slapped in the face of Mrs. Li, implying that she had imprisoned Xie Liangqing privately and killed people.

Old Madam Li said angrily: "I am the five-grade pleasant person of the imperial court, who gave you the courage to dare to search my home?!" ”

The old princess sneered and snorted from her nose, "It's really amazing that the five products are pleasant, so my super princess, do you have to come and kneel for me?" She turned her head to Mrs. Cao and said, "Look at the current world, anyone can really seal their fate." It seems that I will have to give His Majesty a fold when I go back, and ask him to give an order to check it out. The woman of life is the example of the women of the world, how can such a foolish woman be the first in the world? It's really funny. ”

Old Madam Li bit her lip and didn't speak.

The old princess didn't give up, and stared at her coldly, "Don't you kneel when you see Chaopin?" It's really a tutor. What about etiquette? Shouldn't I have stayed in Nanzhili for a long time, and I have even forgotten the rules I learned when I was a child? Looking at Old Mrs. Li's Tie Qing's face, she also happily added, "Could it be, when you were a child, the family didn't ask you to discipline your grandmother at all, right?" Tut-tut, in the end, it came out of a small door, and I don't know the etiquette. Well, I don't care about you. ”

Mrs. Li leaned on mahogany crutches, broke free of her grandmother's support, and slowly walked to the old princess step by step, and was about to kneel, but heard a commotion outside.

"Boss, I've found it."

Old Madam Li's knees, which were about to soften, hardened again. Looking for something?!

When the women were fighting with each other, the scattered officials searched the Li family, despite the prevention of the Li family. At this time, several white bones that were no longer in shape had been turned out in the much-talked-about garden of the Li family.

Old Madam Li looked at the white bones padded with cloth in front of her, and her eyes were about to pop out. "It's—it's impossible!"

Xie Liangying and Old Madam Wei secretly glanced at each other.

The white bones were Shuangjue who was not at ease, so he sneaked into the Li Mansion on that rainy night and buried them in the garden.

The head catcher did not go with the officials to search the house, but kept under the porch outside the house. He glanced at the white bones and said to Mrs. Li: "The old lady is old and it is inconvenient to go out. But the physical evidence is there, and I still hope that the old lady Haihan. He said "offended", and asked the officials to surround the entire Li family from the outside.

"No one is allowed to come or go!"

Xie Liangying glanced at Old Madam Li, whose face was like ashes, and said in her heart, there is still something to come, but don't collapse so soon. She helped Mrs. Wei, "Old lady, don't cry, if you let the second sister know, you will be distressed." She has always been the most filial. ”

Don't mention Xie Liangqing, as soon as she mentioned it, Old Madam Wei became sad, thinking that Xie Liangqing might really become a white bone, and she might not know where she was hidden by the Li family. For a while, he actually went out crying with Xie Liangying.

The onlookers outside Li's house couldn't see anyone, but they saw a carriage coming out of the house. An old woman in the carriage was weeping incessantly, and for a moment began to whisper.

The whole Nanzhili knew that Mrs. Li didn't want to see her daughter-in-law from the capital, but now when she saw the conspicuous thank you on the carriage, the big guy knew that this was the daughter-in-law's family who came to ask for justice. While pitying the Xie family for the death of another daughter, they spat fiercely at the door of the Li family.

The porter of the Li family nodded and sent the old princess and Mrs. Cao out, and just as he was about to turn around, the back of his head was smashed with a stone.

"Who!" He clutched his sore spot and looked back with a hideous expression.

There was silence. But in a moment, more stones fell on him.

The porter hurriedly opened the door and hid in the house.

Stones crackled against the heavy wooden door, with the occasional sound of eggs shattering. The porter didn't dare to look out at all, and went into the house to tell his family.

Old man Li has never been a child, and he was carrying a bird cage, planning to go out of the house, but as soon as he opened the side door, he was smashed by an egg. He wiped a handful of his hair with a look of disgust, and the egg whites and yolks in one hand.

"What's going on!"

The steward, who had caught up, did not care about the distinction between master and servant, and hurriedly pulled him in, closed and bolted the door, and shut out the people who were about to rush in.

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, "My master, let's stop for a while, our family has been sealed." Don't say that there are people staring at you outside, even if no one is staring, the officials will not ask you to go out. ”

Old Man Li thought about it for a while, then stuffed the birdcage into the butler's hand, and told him to take care of his own treasures. He calmly went to find Mrs. Li.
