Chapter 237: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger
Hearing that there was no movement outside the window, Jiang Mu knew that Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Min were afraid of causing trouble, so they had left quietly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Jiang Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he couldn't see it from the outside.
After reprimanding her, she said to the little girl: "Human life is at stake, although it is common for women to give birth to children and have blood collapses, but our government must act above board, so I will send someone to invite the official to come to the autopsy." ”
"You are the first person to find out that the lady has died, and when the government asks questions, you can answer truthfully. You are from this house, and if you answer honestly, I will keep you safe. ”
The little girl was so frightened that she trembled, unable to speak, but kept nodding.
Because of his seamless behavior, he came to examine the body and found nothing, so he took his leave and left.
Jiang Mu beat the little girl twenty times and drove her out of the general's mansion.
Soon, the mother and son were quietly transported outside the city for burial.
The matter seemed to pass like this, no one mentioned it again, and the general's mansion was restored to calm until Zhao Yuan returned from the frontier two months later.
In Shuangyan Hall, Jiang Mu told Zhao Yuan in front of the whole family how the migratory warbler was waiting to give birth, how the labor pain was until a small leak appeared until the collapse, and because of the carelessness of the subordinates, his arm was accidentally crushed to death, and the process of the autopsy sent by the government to Zhao Yuan.
It was the first time for the whole family to know what had happened in such detail, because the mother and son died tragically, everyone lowered their heads and was silent, and some people were still quietly weeping.
Zhao Yuan listened carefully to what she said, his face was always very calm, and he muttered for a moment and said: "My friend entrusted my family to me, but I didn't fulfill my responsibility, and I don't know how to talk to him when I see you in Huangquan in the future." Tonight I will go to Tongxue Courtyard to pay respects, Huanwu, people regularly prepare incense, candles, paper money, and send them to Tongxue Courtyard. ”
At this time, it is early autumn, and the weather is already a little cool. Huan Wu wore a plain silk jacket and walked into the Tongxue Courtyard with a rattan basket full of incense, candles, and paper, and the surroundings were silent, and the evening breeze swept by, swishing into her neck, like a cold hand crossing the back of her head. Huan Wu only felt that his scalp was numb, and his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton.
Fortunately, as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw an incense case placed in the middle of the courtyard, and Zhao Yuan was wearing a snow-gray narrow-sleeved dark silk gown, standing straight next to him. Tonight, the moonlight is like water, illuminating the Tongxue Courtyard very brightly, Huan Wu saw the general standing there, and felt a lot more steady, steady his footsteps, and walked over.
When he arrived next to the table, Huan Wu lit the incense candle and put it on the table, and put seasonal fruits and five-color snacks next to it, and then stood aside.
Zhao Yuan bowed three times to the moon in the sky, lowered his head sadly, and said in a dumb voice after a while: "I'm sorry for you, brother, I didn't protect your flesh and blood, so that your family has been cut off from now on." May your husband and wife, father and son be reunited, and there will be no more worries. ”
Huan Wu listened to it, and thought to herself: "It seems that the lady of Qianying is really the wife of the deputy general, and she has nothing to do with the general, so to speak...... Didn't she die in vain? ”
Zhao Yuan suddenly asked her: "When the lady died, did you leave anything behind?" Have you ever mentioned her husband? ”
Huan Wu thought about it and shook her head.
Zhao Yuan sighed and said, "This deputy general of mine is brave and loyal, and he is a man with thin righteousness. This expedition to the desert encountered an enemy ambush, and he single-handedly rushed into the heart of the desert, leading away most of the enemy's pursuers and saving many people. In the end, until he died of hunger and thirst in the desert, he did not surrender to the enemy for survival. There are not many people I admire in my life, and he is one. ”
Huan Wu listened to it and persuaded: "Why is the general so arrogant, which of your military exploits was not obtained by fighting bravely in the rain of swords and arrows?" ”
Zhao Yuandao: "Speaking of this, I and the deputy general have many lives on our backs, if he dies in battle, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet him, because he is in the Emperor of Heaven, and I can only go to report to the Emperor of the Underworld." ”
Huan Wu asked puzzledly, "Why did the general say this?" ”
Zhao Yuan looked at the bright moon and said: "There are three kinds of killing, one is to protect the family and defend the country, such a person can be called a hero." The second is impulsive killing, neither planning to kill in advance nor thinking of a way out after killing, just for a breath of evil in the heart, then take people's lives, such people can be called bad people, stupid people. ”
"The third ......" Zhao Yuan said here, pausing. Huan Wu's heart suddenly raised his throat, and he secretly beat a drum in his heart: "Does the general already know?" Are you going to make me confess here? ”
Fortunately, Zhao Yuan did not make any other unexpected moves, but continued: "This third type is to kill people for their own selfish interests. This method of killing must be carefully considered, and every plan is actually a hand-receiving opportunity given by God. ”
"It's a pity that so many chances, in the end, did not prevent the killing from happening, such people are really bad people, evil people. Because the second type of killing is only an impulse, while the third is an inevitable choice. ”
After hearing this, Huanwu's face became ugly, and her voice trembled a little and said, "What the general said is profound, and the slave doesn't understand." ”
"It's not surprising, because I don't know it all myself." Zhao Yuan said: "I mostly kill people in the first case, and there are also the third cases. Since he is not dead now, he wants to try his best to atone for some of his sins, and when he arrives at the Emperor of Hades, he is much more confident. ”
Huan Wu had mixed feelings in her heart, and lowered her head and agreed: "Yes, yes." ”
Coming out of Tongxue Courtyard, Huanwu was in a trance, and she took advantage of the night to walk into the eldest lady's room.
Although it was late at night, Jiang Mu sat at the table without a little sleep, she took the silver scissors and hinged the pattern on the brocade stockings, trying her best to calm down, but after reaming twice, the anger in her heart was even greater, so she simply put it aside and stopped caring about it.
"The general called Huanwu to Tongxue Courtyard alone tonight, I don't know what the purpose is? Huanwu is my dowry girl, the general has never called her, but today she said it in front of everyone, but do you want to embarrass me? ”
While he was thinking wildly, Huan Wu appeared at the door at some point, with a panicked look on his face, and called timidly: "Madam." ”
When Jiang Mu saw her appearance, he was angry and scolded: "In the middle of the night, what are you doing at the door like a flagpole?" Come in and talk back yet! ”
Huan Wu came into the house, closed the door, and then told Madame what the general had just said in Tongxue Courtyard.
I didn't expect the general to come to such a move to "knock on the mountain and shock the tiger", even if Jiang Mu was psychologically strong, he couldn't hold back a little at this time, and beads of sweat dripped down his face.
"What will he do to me? Now that there is no evidence, do you want to send me to the government? I am the mother of his son, even if he doesn't miss the love of husband and wife, he must consider that his son needs a mother......" In such a tangled fear, Jiang Muheyi sat all night.
