Seventy-one: Overturned
At the beginning of December, every household began to move out of the big urn to steam glutinous rice wine, and the sky was filled with the smell of roasted wheat straw, mixed with the fragrance of glutinous rice, and people's good mood was filled in the mist of joy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's just that the row of people on the street didn't know what news they heard, and they all threw away their work for some reason, and they didn't even have time to ask for the wine urn by the river, so they quickly swarmed towards the crowd.
When I saw something good in the restaurant and teahouse, I went out to look at it curiously, and asked a little puzzled: "Alas, alas, what's wrong?" The custom of steaming rice wine in Qingzhou City has always been as important as the New Year, why are these people chattering? ”
Xiao Er came up to add tea to them, smiled when he glanced at them, and put a towel on his shoulder to talk: "A few masters just came back from a long away, and they didn't know that a big event had happened in our city!" If it weren't for the monthly money waiting for me at home, I would have to go to see it, this is really a rare thing that I have never heard of! ”
Several brocade-clothed young men glanced at each other and smiled with interest: "Oh? That's really to hear and see, what's going on? ”
Xiao Er smashed his mouth, and finally found the manager who was slacking off from passivity, and was busy owing and spitting: "You don't know!" Our prefect of Qingzhou City actually connived at the concubine to kill his original wife! And he also colluded with the witch doctor to burn his own daughter......"
Several people were a little stunned, and looked downstairs with some disbelief and suspicion----- this group of people was indeed going to the prefect's yamen.
"Yantang ......" A young man in red with clear eyebrows frowned and looked at another elegant and beautiful young man and asked, "Didn't you come back to visit your aunt?" ”
Guo Yantang stood up in disbelief, leaned over and looked out the window, sat down again with anger, looked back at the shopkeeper who was scratching his head and asked, "Aren't you telling a story?!" The prefect's original wife was from a famous family, how could his concubine be so bold that even the original wife dared to poison him? ”
The shopkeeper's face turned red when he saw his distrustful eyes, and he was so excited that he said no, and pointed to the full tea guests and said: "My son-in-law, I don't want to kill me, if this thing is not true, I dare to say this to slander my parents?" See the full crowd today? All of them came to see the excitement, and people from neighboring counties also came to see the excitement, such a big battle, do you think this is true? The prefect still wanted to kill his daughter and kill him, but unfortunately he was a step too late and was saved by the original family, and the original family sued the governor in front of him, and now the governor has arrested the prefect! ”
Guo Yantang was a little uncertain about his current mood, when he came last year, Song Linlang was fine......
He grasped the key point in Xiao Er's words, and asked with a cold face: "Mrs. Xiang's mother's family is here?" ”
Now that the Song family is here, there is a good chance that Song Linlang's matter is true. Unexpectedly, this Lord Xiang Yunzhang Xiang, who was looked down upon by his mother, really had the courage to condone the concubine on the head of the original partner, and dared to poison the original partner ruthlessly.
Xiao Er nodded, still a little sad and pityful: "Who said it wasn't?" All of them are from high-ranking families, but they can't protect their daughters, and I heard that the old lady is sick in a hurry......"
At this moment, the old lady Song, who was anxiously sick in Xiao Er's mouth, sat on the couch well, she listened to the movement outside for a while with a cold face and ears, and sneered: "Everyone has a lot of money, and it is ruined." Xiang Yunzhang, the official, has done it. ”
Song Chuyi took a small hammer to knock walnuts out for her to make walnut dew, and when she heard this, she also pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled mockingly: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat." Even the saint still has to take care of the people's hearts, let alone a prefect? He has already gotten mixed to the point of anger and resentment, even if it is heaven, it can't protect him. ”
Mrs. Song watched Song Chuyi concentrate on peeling walnuts, and the fierceness in her heart was suppressed a little, she touched Song Chuyi's head, and sighed: "Thanks to you, we really didn't do anything in this public opinion war, and we won it completely." Xiang Yunzhang's reputation also stinks. ”
"It doesn't really matter." Song Chuyi shook his head and looked at Mrs. Song: "Even if there is no such discussion and bad reputation, it is not difficult for you and Uncle Li to rectify an adult Xiang, he has been the prefect for so many years, it is impossible to be really clean---- even if he wants to be clean, I am afraid that his concubine and mother will not let him be clean." The important thing is that after this public opinion war, the Xiang family has no reason to detain his cousin. ”
No matter what happened before, Xiang Mingzi always had the surname Xiang, no matter how powerful their Song family was, they couldn't resist the clan law. But now everyone knows what kind of family the Xiang family is----- they have to poison their original partner for a concubine, and they have to burn their daughters for a concubine, what qualifications does such a family have to continue to raise Xiang Mingzi?
What's more, there are rumors in the market that the reason why the concubine poisoned the original partner was because she was instructed by the old lady Xiang---- and the old lady disliked the original partner for many years, and they began to look at each other's steprooms.
In addition, on the day Song Linlang's body was snatched out, many people saw it with their own eyes, and the third master cried a handful of snot and tears, and the scene was sad and touching......
If Miss Xiang stays in such a frenzied family, she may end up with the same fate as Mrs. Xiang, and many people are looking forward to the Song family taking Miss Xiang away.
Mrs. Song was a little distracted and didn't speak for a long time.
It wasn't until Song Chuyi picked out all the walnut kernels and put them in a white porcelain jade dish as white as snow that she came back to her senses and nodded.
Song Chuyi lifted the blanket up for her and turned around to go out.
Mrs. Song stopped her, hesitated for a while and asked her, "Xiaoyi, did you guess anything?" ”
Song Chuyi's steps then stopped, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Song, thought about it, pursed her lips and nodded: "After Aunt Li helped us find Yunhe and them, I saw that you left Mama Wang and Mama Zheng alone for a while, and then the third uncle went to snatch the body of my aunt, and I had some vague guesses at that time......
Mrs. Song smiled bitterly, and felt that there was really no one to say this----- she couldn't hold back and go home to talk to Mrs. Song again, so she sighed in a deep voice: "She calculated the time when we arrived, and she took the poison ...... herself."
Song Linlang, who has always regarded Xiang Yunzhang and Xiang as his family, finally completely pitted Xiang Yunzhang before he died, and this handful was enough to make Xiang Yunzhang irreversible. (To be continued.) )
