Chapter 122 Punishment
The word arsenic exited, and the originally quiet and silent front hall was even more silent and terrifying, and everyone looked at the medicinal powder on the table next to Old Man Shen, and the brown medicinal powder was like a life-threatening charm at the moment, hovering in everyone's hearts.
"This, it's really arsenic," Old Man Shen sat there for a long time, unconvinced, arsenic is white, this brown powder, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like that thing, and most importantly, he can't believe that his wife's heart can be so vicious.
Old man Shen seems to have selectively forgotten what his wife had done, and the matter of borrowing his granddaughter's hand musk did not cause consequences in his opinion, that is, it was in the past, and he didn't think about it at all, which already showed the ruthlessness in the heart of this pillow person.
"If the uncle doesn't believe it, just find someone to test it, and there is more than arsenic added here." Chu Yiyao smiled, but Yan stared at the bag of things, muttering in his mouth, "Impossible, you framed me, how could I be poisoned like this." ”
Chu Yiyao didn't want to say more, the matter had come to this, and the rest of the matters would be handed over to the yamen for trial, all she had to do was to hand over everything she knew, including the evidence.
"Auntie, framed or not, Yiyao doesn't have such great ability, let's wait for the results in the yamen, maybe it won't be long before the yamen summons the eldest aunt to interrogate."
After Chu Yiyao finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the hall directly.
The hall was quiet again, and Master Shen glanced at Old Man Shen, "Dad, it's not good for this matter to get to the government." ”
Old Man Shen glared at him, "Not so good?" People have taken it away, what are you saying now, it's not good, is it possible that this Shen family can still cover the sky with one hand. "The government will not take care of doing business, no matter what means, if it goes bankrupt and goes bankrupt, as long as it is not a matter of human life, it is all based on their own ability, but this poisoning thing is no longer a matter that can be private, or in other words, it is too late to be private.
"Second brother, even if your sister-in-law does something wrong, you can't let Shixuan's daughter-in-law report directly to the official, this is tossed by your own people, how will the Shen family behave in the future." Master Shen turned to speak to Second Master Shen, and there was a faint accusation in his tone.
"Big brother, such a mistake, it's not the first time that my sister-in-law has made it, what have we fought with my eldest brother in this Shen Mansion for so many years, why do sisters-in-law still force each other so much, this is human life, if it weren't for Yiyao's close attention, Kang'er has a few lives that are not enough, big brother, do you think it is useful to admit your mistakes, in the six months in Zhuangzi, can your sister-in-law repent?" Second Master Shen refuted Master Shen's words for the first time, he couldn't refute what he said, he didn't believe it as a husband, how could he persuade others to believe that his wife could know his mistakes.
"Dad, it's not that we don't persuade our daughter-in-law, but we can't persuade it, we discussed it, since the sister-in-law can't tolerate us and can't tolerate the children, then we will move out and live, and we will not divide the house, which is not against the rules of the ancestors, and moving out to live will not hinder anyone's eyes, and everyone will be happy in their hearts." When Chu Yiyao said that he would live separately, the second master Shen also agreed, so he waited for the old man to get better, and when his son came back, he could prepare to move out, and in a few months, the sister-in-law couldn't wait, isn't this ironic enough.
Old man Shen raised his head, the expression on his face was very complicated, before his wife died, this family was still harmonious, since when did this family become like this, it is so intolerable between the two rooms, or rather, unilaterally, it can't be tolerated.
After a long time, Old Man Shen sighed, "If you promise to let you move out, you persuade Shixuan's daughter-in-law, this matter will be over, and we will deal with your sister-in-law and her ourselves." ”
Second Old Man Shen glanced at Guan Shi, who shook his head and spoke, "Dad, we can't make decisions about this matter. ”
"You won't believe what my old man said, will you!" Old Man Shen scolded angrily, "Do you want to have the face of this family, and you want to show the people of Jinling a joke when you go to the official mansion." ”
Second Master Shen was silent, it was all a matter of face, he was willing to take a break for the rest of his life, and he just supported the two words of the Shen family's face. has never fought for his son, and he is already guilty of being a father, so what kind of face do he have.
Old Man Shen looked at them and didn't speak, so he angrily dropped the cup again, and almost turned his back.
Steward Jiang was busy helping him to ease him, but Master Shen looked at them reproachfully, "Look at you guys who are angry!" ”
The negotiation failed, Chu Yiyao made up her mind to let the government intervene in this matter, and she didn't forget about it in her eyes, nothing happened, isn't it scary enough to have this intention.
On this day, the Shen family's atmosphere was so low that it was about to drive people crazy, Yan's mind was in chaos, and her legs were weak when she thought of the possibility of being summoned by the government, she had never been to any yamen in her life.
Shui Ruoqian comforted her to the end, even she didn't know what to say, her mother didn't admit it, everyone knew in their hearts that this was the truth, she didn't like her younger siblings, and she had thought about it viciously, but it was just a thought.
Several people in Xufeng Courtyard have been taken away, and Shi Jin is rushing back, at least seven or eight days, and he can't tell his mother to ask for help, but he really can't find an idea.
Shui Ruoqian was in a hurry, the yamen interrogated all morning, and in the afternoon, someone came to the Shen family to summon the Yan family to go over for questioning, along with Shen Guobao and a mother and two maids who were waiting by Shen Guobao's side.
Old Man Shen finally couldn't sit still, and went to the yamen in person, but he could only stand outside.
Lord Li still saved some face for the Shen family, not in the court trial, but in the inner court, and did not publicize it.
Shen Guobao was summoned to ask about musk, and nine-year-old Shen Guobao learned that his grandmother ordered someone to put medicine in his purse, wanting to cause his aunt to lose a child.
Looking at Lord Li sitting in the hall, Shen Guobao's eyes flashed with gloom, and he told Master Li all the details that he could recall two years ago, and then he was taken down, and when he went outside, he saw the old man Shen waiting there, but Shen Guobao didn't have the idea of rushing into his arms and crying bitterly.
Shen Guobao secretly walked out of the yamen, the nurse and the two personal maids were still inside, they were the ones who secretly changed the core of the purse without telling themselves, Shen Guobao walked alone in the market, feeling sad
For three whole days, Master Li interrogated everything that could be interrogated, and those who were not recruited were recruited, and the evidence of the detaining was unexpectedly put on a thick foot.
For the sake of Old Man Shen's face, after Shen Shijin arrived on the seventh day, on the morning of the eighth day, all the relevant people were summoned to come in the inner hall of the yamen, and they sat in the inner hall full.
Master Lee summoned witnesses one by one.
From the shopkeeper who sells arsenic to the mother-in-law who goes to buy arsenic, who gives Xiao Tao arsenic, who gives the medicine, and who is instructed.
Guo's mother was caught red-handed and stuffed arsenic to Xiao Tao, which is irrefutable, Guo's mother and Xiao Tao's house found the remaining arsenic, which added up to the same amount as the shopkeeper's sale, the poisoning is ironclad evidence, and the last thing to be investigated is who instigated it.
As long as a piece of evidence is sought, Guo's mother didn't accept anyone's instructions at first, but this forced confession is what the yamen is best at, and Guo's mother recruited it without staying up for a day, let alone others.
After summoning all the witnesses, Master Li looked down at Yan who was kneeling on the ground, "Mrs. Shen, you can plead guilty." ”
Yan refused to admit his guilt, "That's all because she bought someone to slander me, and she also instigated her son to push and hurt Yue'er, my lord, she has such a vicious heart, if you don't hurry up and arrest her, the people are wronged!" ”
"Qubble." Master Li shouted, "How can you be allowed to mess around in the court, one person buys it, is it possible that your Shen family has been bought, Mrs. Shen, do you admit it!" ”
How could she admit it, this is going to prison, what kind of place is that prison, how can she stay in that kind of place, so Yan went to her husband in a panic to see her son, and just wanted to ask for help from them, the two officials behind her detained her, "I'm not guilty, I'm not guilty, I haven't done anything, they framed me, my lord, you have no evidence to prove that I instructed this." ”
With a "snap", Master Li knocked on the board, "Until now, you still say that you have been framed, Mrs. Shen, you have tried to kill people several times, such viciousness, if you are not punished, heaven will not tolerate it!" ”
"Twenty canes and prisons."
As soon as Lord Li's words fell, Shen Shijin immediately knelt down and pleaded, "My lord, I'm just confused for a while, she has already realized her mistake, and her prayer is old enough, and my nephew is now safe and sound and has no loss, so I will give him a lenient sentence." ”
Chu Yiyao didn't say a word, just looked at Master Li in front of the hall lightly, and sentenced him lightly, heh, is it just to go home and repent.
"If there is really a human life, then Mrs. Shen will pay for her life with her life." Master Li opened his mouth to remind, this is not a matter of you not succeeding.
Shen Shijin's face turned pale, and soon someone came to drag the Yan clan down to scold.
The strange thing is that Old Man Shen didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he didn't say anything when he saw Yan being dragged down, and soon a mournful cry of pain sounded outside the house.
After the fight, the official came in and reported, "My lord, I fainted." ”
"Imprisoned." Master Li waved his hand, but he didn't let them look at it, and directly let people drag it down, Shen Shijin looked back at Chu Yiyao, and the hatred in his eyes burst out.
Chu Yiyao met his gaze, would she still be afraid of him?
Shen Shijin took away that emotion and walked directly to Old Man Shen's side, but Old Man Shen stood up and bowed his hand to Master Li, who was about to leave, "Lord Li, can you take a step to speak." ”
Old Man Shen and Master Li left, the servants urged them to leave quickly, Chu Yiyao got up and followed the Eguan clan to leave, and walked to the gate, and Shen Shijin's voice came from behind, "Brother and sister are really good plans." ”
Chu Yiyao turned her head, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, "Big brother, what you say, my younger brother and sister don't understand." ”
"I know that my mother can't tolerate you in her eyes, but I'm so patient and waiting for her." can drain the water up and down the first courtyard, how could it leak Xiao Tao, obviously it was deliberate, and it was also his fault, in order to compete with the second brother, he was always outside, and he didn't know anything at home.
"The eldest brother always finds a reason for the eldest aunt, what, it's right to want to hurt people, presumably the eldest brother has been taught by the eldest aunt since he was a child, no wonder there is no distinction between right and wrong." Chu Yiyao smiled, but her words were very sharp.
Shen Shijin smiled, "Do you really think that this matter will be understood like this?" "Grandfather talked to Master Li in private, for the sake of his mother's business, how could he really go to prison for a few years.
"Even if you don't have ten years in prison, half a year is enough, and ordinary people can't enjoy it." At this point, Chu Yiyao was already very satisfied, she was surprised that Old Man Shen didn't say a word in the hall, if he opened his mouth to say a few words, Master Li would think about it, after all, there was an imperial concubine behind the Shen family, but Old Man Shen just waited until the fight was over.
Shen Shijin didn't take advantage of her here, the second brother is growing up so much now, it seems that he is inseparable from her, Shen Shijin watched her walk away, with mixed emotions in her eyes
returned to the Shen family, until the Guan family said that they didn't see Bao'er, everyone realized that the eldest lady had disappeared for several days, and after asking carefully, Shen Guobao had never returned to the Shen family since the first day she followed to the Yamen, and she disappeared for eight days.
Shen Shijin hurriedly sent someone to look for her, but after searching all over Jinling City, he couldn't find out about Shen Guobao's whereabouts, and he didn't hear anyone talk about her.
Shui Ruoqian proposed to go to the Tian family to ask, and a day later, the news came back from the Tian family, Shen Guobao was indeed there, but Master Tian also sent back a sentence, the child disappeared for seven or eight days before sending someone to find it, the Shen family didn't pay attention to his granddaughter at all, and there was no need for the Shen family to raise it, the Tian family would raise it themselves.
Shen Shijin naturally disagreed, this was his daughter, Shui Ruoqian persuaded on the side, "Now that the mother's matter has not been resolved, Bao'er is somewhat uncomfortable with her grandmother, so let her stay in the Tian family for a few more days, and when the family affairs are dealt with, we will pick her up." ”
Shen Shijin looked at his son who was playing on the side, with gauze still wrapped around his head, and his face sank there, "I thought that your father was helping me, and I was relieved to hand over the branch in Huizhou to your brother, but as a result, now I still have to go over by myself, and you didn't take care of your mother." ”
Shui Ruoqian was a little wronged, "How did I not take good care of my mother, my mother didn't tell me these things, if I knew that it would definitely be stopping her, the Shen family is still in charge of the mother, I just help her, you are angry with me." ”
Shen Shijin's eyes were full of gloom, even if his son crawled over and wanted to hug him, he ignored it, Shui Ruoqian hugged his son directly, and spoke politely, "Since you know your mother's temperament well, why didn't you persuade her at the beginning, and now blame me in turn, have you ever cared about taking care of my feelings." ”
"How do you feel?" Shen Shijin pinched her chin sideways, "Aren't you unwilling to marry me, don't you feel that you have wronged you by marrying me, do you still think that I am not as good as the second brother who refused to marry, tsk, Shui Ruoqian, a house, don't you feel dazzling when you look at it?" ”
"Slap", Shui Ruoqian shook off his hand and snorted, "I don't want to marry you, I feel wronged by marrying you, I don't know if others don't know about your dirty things, don't you know how Miss Tian died in your heart, I think you are not as good as Shixuan." ”
Shen Shijin grabbed her neck, Shen Zhuo Zhuo in Shui Ruoqian's arms suddenly cried in fright, the nurse and Mother Wang rushed in and saw that her uncle was going to beat Miss, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, Shui Ruoqian covered her neck and coughed with a red face, coughing and laughing, with a touch of death in her eyes, "Why, you can't force me to death like forcing Miss Tian to death, you still want to strangle me." ”
Mother Wang hugged Shui Ruoqian and looked at Shen Shijin nervously, "Uncle, if you have something to say, you must not do anything with Miss." ”
Shen Shijin looked at Shen Zhuozhuo, who was crying in Shui Ruoqian's arms, didn't say a word, turned around and walked out.
Shui Ruoqian's stiff body in Mother Wang's arms suddenly softened, hugging Shen Zhuo and coaxing gently, Mother Wang looked at the pinch marks on her neck distressedly, "Miss, what good is it for you to quarrel so much with your uncle, you will have to rely on your uncle in the future." ”
Shui Ruoqian didn't speak, just lowered her head and coaxed the person in her arms
Half a month has passed, Old Man Shen didn't tell everyone about the results of the discussion with Master Li, Yan was still in prison, Master Shen went to visit her once, Yan who could barely move after the cane was scolded and could only lie down every day, although he sent medicine, but the environment in the prison made Yan's life very uncomfortable.
Shen Shijin has been to Old Man Shen's courtyard several times in vain, he can't guess the reason why his grandfather did this, there are already rumors of discord within the Shen family, but his grandfather ignores it.
Until December Shen Shixuan came back from southern Xinjiang and brought back a large amount of jade with the help of Huaishan, the old man Shen called him into the study for an afternoon, and when he came out again, the old man Shen agreed to the request of the second room to move out after the New Year, so far, Yan has been locked in prison for more than three months...
The companions said that they would put it in the Zhuangzi again, and Ryoko thought that it was appropriate to squat in prison~ The author of Gaga, I have something to say: cough cough~ The guy still has about two weeks, and it is estimated that the two weeks will not be over. cviii),
