Chapter 141: Song He
"Midnight dream, has the son dreamed of the old man?" Qiu Feng got up slowly, stared at the man in front of him with clear eyes, and asked lightly, "Since Gongzi Song returned to Beijing and didn't forget to go to Yunfu secretly, it proves that your conscience is not clear." In your heart, there is still a trace of guilt for the Yun family, right? ”
Song Xiaoyi stared at Qiu Feng with red eyes, and almost gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
Qiu Feng's expression suddenly became fierce, and he said in a deep voice: "I just want to ask Song Gongzi one sentence, a truth that you have hidden for many years!" You already know that Yun Xu is not a rebel thief, the Yun family was victimized by sluts back then, and they all died unjustly, right? ”
"I....I..." Song Xiaoyi seemed to be burned by the other party's scrutinizing gaze, a pair of dark eyes rolled uneasily, and it took a long time before he said, "Even if I know that, what if I know?" It's long gone, so why do you want to bring it up again? Why not let the dead rest in peace? ”
"Let the dead rest in peace?!" At this time, Taowu, who had been standing beside Qiu Feng without saying a word, couldn't hold back any longer, she scolded angrily, "The Yun clan died unjustly, bearing the infamy of the ages, and so far there is no card and no position, and the son even dares to say that let the undead rest in peace?!" Could it be that Song Gongzi has no shame in front of him? ”
Only then did Song Xiaoyi notice that in addition to himself and Qiu Feng in the room, there was an inconspicuous-looking woman. The woman was dressed plainly, and she was obscure all the time, just standing quietly on the side from beginning to end, so Song Xiaoyi didn't notice her all the time.
Song Xiaoyi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Taowu defensively, and asked, "Who are you?" You care so much about the old case back then, do you have something to do with Yunfu?"
Taowu didn't hide it, and directly revealed her identity. "I was just a maid in the Yun Mansion back then, and the reason why I invited my son over today is just because I can't bear to see the Yun family being wronged and humiliated, and I want to get justice for them and clear their minds."
"You....are you an old man from Yunfu?!" Song Xiaoyi muttered, "It's great that there are survivors!" ”
"Okay?!" Taowu sneered, "Childe, do you know that there were a total of seventy-eight people in the Yun Mansion back then, and I was the only one who survived!" And my life is also....It was also bought at the expense of Miss Yun's life. The Yun family has always been kind-hearted, and they treat their subordinates very well, and they have never treated us as current people, and Yun Xiang was a rare loyal minister in the court back then! Your father Song He, as the secretary of Dali Temple, should have enforced the law impartially, but why didn't your father help him even though he knew that Yun Xiang was wronged? Do you want to help the traitor frame Yunxiang and help the abuse?! Could it be that Boss Song also values that little bit of fame and wealth? ”
Faced with Taowu's aggressive questioning, Song Xiaoyi finally couldn't help but explode, and he roared angrily: "Don't talk about my dad like that!" My dad wasn't the kind of person who coveted riches! ”
"Oh? Really? Then why didn't Mr. Song say anything at that time? Obviously he knew that Yun Xu was wronged, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even personally took the so-called evidence to the emperor at the end? If he didn't take bribes, I'm afraid no one would believe it! ”
"My father didn't receive any benefits, he was a good official, he just wanted to be a good official all his life! It's all because of me! It's because of me! Song Xiaoyi almost roared, and the green tendons on his neck were especially obvious because of excitement.
The room fell silent for a moment, almost everyone's heavy breathing could be heard, and the candlelight looked leisurely and sad in the moonlight. Song Xiaoyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he was full of exhaustion, his legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, his eyes were dilated and unfocused, as if his soul had left his body in an instant. After a long time, he finally found his voice and muttered: "This qiē is all because of me, it was I who killed Yun Xiang, and I killed everyone in the Yun family!" ”
Qiu Feng's eyelashes trembled slightly, guiding Song Xiaoyi to continue. "Why did Song Gongzi say this? At that time, Dali Temple was responsible for investigating the case, but you didn't intervene? ”
Song Xiaoyi said expressionlessly: "Although the case was not tried by me, my father gave perjury because of my relationship..."
"Go on!" Qiu Feng urged.
"Back then, I was young and ignorant, relying on the fact that I was the son of Dali Siqing, so I also did a lot of foolish things. Eight years ago, I fell in love with a girl who sang a little song in the Qinglou, and I didn't hesitate to fight and make trouble in the Qinglou for this girl, and I also rubbed my hands and killed someone. Fortunately, the other party is not the son of an official eunuch, so my father paid some silver taels from the other party's family to solve the matter. Originally, we all thought that this matter would pass like this, but what we didn't expect was that this matter was actually known by Huo Pei'an for some reason. He asked my father to do something when he was presiding over the Yun Xu case, and confirmed the crime of Yun Xiang's rebellion. My father was reluctant at first, but he threatened my father that if he did not do what he asked, he would sue the court for my murder by mistake, and threatened to exchange my life for my life! ”
"So your father succumbed? The fair and honest Dali Siqing turned out to be nothing more than that. Momowu snorted disdainfully.
Song Xiaoyi's face was very ugly, his facial features were almost sadly tangled together, and he said in a dumb voice: "I am the only son of the Song family, no matter how much my father hates me, an uncompetitive son, he will not see me die after all." So in desperation, my father was forced to agree to Huo Pei'an's request, and finally 'determined' that Yun Xiang was the mastermind of the rebellion! ”
There was a reason why the first emperor chose Song He to preside over the case, on the one hand, when Song He was alive, he was famous in the court for his unbending, and his Cheng was almost on par with Wei Ming; On the other hand, Song He has always been clean and self-conscious, and he remains neutral and not linked to any party's forces, so the first emperor felt that Song He was the most able person to handle the case impartially. But no one thought that once this iron-faced selfless and loyal minister Song Lao was so clever that no one doubted him.
"Your father can't bear to let you die, can he bear to watch his colleagues and friends being beheaded all over the house?" Taowu was still resentful, "Although Boss Song and Yun Xiang are not close friends, their friendship is not shallow, right?" How could he bear it?! ”
"My dad knows he's sinful!" Song Xiaoyi's eyes were red, two tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and he said with guilt, "So, when the matter was over, my father couldn't afford to be sick because of guilt, and finally passed away not long after." It can be regarded as my Song family's retribution, right? ”
"Master Song is not heinous, at least he saved King Rui's life!" Qiu Feng Duct. (To be continued.) )
