CH.35 Nightmare of Old Things in the Deep House (3)
"What the slave said is true, and she will never dare to deceive the prefect."
The housekeeper knelt on the ground and didn't raise her head, and said in a conclusive manner.
Xiahou Lin and the old lady were originally caught off guard by this incident, especially the people around her who came out to testify, and they were really panicked for a while, where did they think that what they were talking about was just a red mole behind the ear, the old lady was secretly proud, she and the twin sisters almost looked exactly the same, to say that her sister had a red mole behind her ear, she herself had it! How do you know that the man doesn't have any red moles at all!
The prefect was originally very dissatisfied with Xiahou Yi's connivance with the evil slave framing his grandmother, Daqi is the most filial piety, that is, His Majesty has been dead for many years, the Queen Mother is also Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and every festival has to worship, where did he expect that this matter turned around so that he could not see clearly.
"Bold! You are so open-mouthed, but what evidence is there to prove that the old lady is not the eldest lady of the Wen family back then! ”
"Returning to my lord, in addition to the slave maid, those who served the eldest lady back then can prove that the eldest lady has no red mole behind her ear at all, but the eldest lady's twin sister was born with a red mole behind her ear."
"! Do you still dare to talk nonsense, where are the twin sisters in the old body? ”
"Twin sisters?"
Things are getting more and more foggy, the prefect is as confused as Xiahou Yi at the beginning, the old lady never thought that someone dug up this matter, and said to the prefect in horror: "My lord! They're all nonsense! Because...... Because she wanted a thousand-year-old ginseng for her son's life, she didn't give it to her old body, and she held a grudge! Right! That's why! ”
The prefect also has a headache, Xiahou Lin is the queen of Xungui after all, but this Xiahou Yi is the future nine horses! He can't afford to offend any of them! I had to say with a pleasant face: "Don't be impatient, old lady, since someone has come to sue you, this lord must deal with it impartially, so as to live up to His Majesty's trust!" ”
The prefect moved out of Emperor Kangtai, who would dare to say anything?
"Your Majesty Ma He, you sued Mrs. Wen like this, if there is no definite evidence, this official will sentence you to the crime of framing Mrs. Wen of the imperial court!"
"Your Excellency! How dare a slave? It's really a wrongful death for my young lady, and I have to say this from ......"
Lan Qiduo was also paying attention to this matter at this time, and the situation inside the prefect's yamen quickly spread to Lan Qiduo.
"When my sister went back to her parents' house to save her relatives, she saw a brother-in-law who was talented, and she wanted to take her brother-in-law for herself?"
Lan Qiduo listened to the return of the horse commander in disbelief, she didn't have the courage of Xiao Wen as a princess of a country! Really......
It was also a little embarrassing for Commander Ma to come to Lan Qiduo's girl's house to say this kind of thing, but Mama Yun explained that His Highness was going to get married now, and no matter what happened, His Highness had to have a bottom in his heart, so that she could see the world clearly, and Commander Ma had to open this mouth.
"Yes, it is said that she pretended to be Dawen when her husband, Lao Ping Nanhou, was drunk...... Ahem, with the old Pingnanhou spring breeze! ”
Commander Ma's old face turned red and said quickly: "I didn't think I was pregnant, Xiaowen's family coveted everything about Dawen's, and she was unwilling to be a wealthy noblewoman, but she was sent to someone else's house to send people under the fence, and tasted all kinds of human feelings, so she bought off the maid next to Dawen's, that is, the housekeeper who is now suing her, lured Dawen's to East Lake, and then tied Dawen's sinking into the lake with stones!" ”
Xiao Ping'an Joy also accompanied Lan Qiduo, and now I heard with my own ears that a noble lady from a high family was so vicious to sink her sister into the lake for her own selfishness, and disguised as her own sister, and she pretended to be more than forty years, and they felt that their goosebumps were rising! This is really the most poisonous woman's heart!
Commander Ma shook his head untraceably, what is this, there are no wonders in the world, and this kind of thing has always existed in the world, but Her Royal Highness the princess and these little girls live in the palace, and what they see is only those methods of killing people in the palace without seeing blood, and I have never experienced such a stunned scene at a glance.
But that's not all! Commander Ma continued: "Lao Pingnanhou is a general on the battlefield, and it is normal to have an old illness in his body, although Xiao Wen's occupies the position of Dawen's family, she is always a fake, and she is worried that one day something will happen, so she can't live in fear, so she did something in Pingnanhou's medicine, so Xiahou Lin became a posthumous child before she was born. ”
It was so bizarre that even Lan Qiduo held his breath and listened to the horse commander.
"The old Pingnanhou is dead but the son of Dawen's son Xiahousen is still there, in order not to arouse suspicion, she looks like a mother to Xiahousen, but Xiahousen grew up, and it is his eldest son who inherits the title of Pingnan Marquis, Xiahoulin has no share as the second son, so Xiaowen not only married Xiahousen to the daughter of the imperial merchant, but finally sold Xiahouyi to Lin'an Mansion after Xiahousen's death.
Commander Ma also sighed with emotion in the end, he only felt that the most innocent thing in this matter was Xiahou Yi, who was abducted and trafficked at a few years old, and he had to face a litter of people who were not relatives but pretended to be relatives, and he was hypocritical and righteous to him, and it was difficult for Xiahou Yi to have not grown crooked for so many years, and he also made great contributions to Daqi!
Several people couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and only after a while did they hear Xiao Tuxi say: "This is too unbelievable!" ”
It's really incredible, different from the shock and discussion of several of them. Lan Qiduo knows more than others, the reason why Xiahou Yi was abducted is not only because of the Wen family, Xiahou Lin and Xiahou Yi's stepmother are bent on letting their own son inherit the title, Xiahou Yi's existence is a thorn in the flesh, and now Xiao Wen's bear all the sins just for Xiahou Lin, after all, the crime of killing Da Wen and Ping Nanhou is already conclusive, so many crimes related to Xia Housen and Xiahou Yi's mother are just one more crime, both horizontal and vertical are dead, If it is because of her death that she can give her son a chance to live, what can't she carry?
Lan Qiduo asked the others to go down but left the horse commander: "Does the father know about this matter?" ”
"At this time, the stakes are very high, after all, Lao Pingnanhou is involved, and the prefect does not dare to make decisions without authorization, report to His Majesty, and listen to His Majesty's ruling."
"That father has a ...... for Xiahou Yi"
"Your Highness, rest assured, the Horse family is a victim of suffering, they have suffered so much crying because of this, Your Majesty is too late to compensate, how can they blame?"
Even if Commander Ma explained to Lan Qiduo, Lan Qiduo was relieved, and he only felt that it was better to solve this matter as soon as possible! Otherwise, the more he delayed, the more painful Xiahou Yi became.
"Now that I have begun to go to East Lake to salvage the body, I don't know if the bones of Dawen's family can be found after so many years."
The commander of the horse sighed for a while, Xiahou Yi asked people to take the Dawen clan and the housekeeper to the East Lake to salvage the corpse, and I don't know if this matter will be spread, after all, the matter involves some secrets, and Xiahou Yi has something to do......
Things have come to this point, Xiahou Yi has calmed down a lot, looking at the calm water surface of East Lake, no one knows how many secrets are buried in this seemingly clear water...... Now that this matter has been resolved, he wants to divide the sect, and there is one more bargaining chip, and when the second lady comes back, this matter can be completely solved! At that time, he can rest assured and hang with Yuanjia without any worries.
"Lord Qiyu, I've got something!"
"Go and call the guy to come over for an autopsy."
"The corpse has been too old to find out the exact time of death, but the deceased has been holding a pearl-inlaid jasper step in his hand."
"That step shake is my grandmother's dowry gift to my grandfather, according to the old man of my Wen family, every time there is a big event, my grandmother will wear a step shake on her head, until she accidentally broke the step shake when she was pregnant with the second uncle, and my grandmother never wore this step shake again when she touched the scene."
What else is there to say in the world now, the prefect looked at Xiahou Yi with a look of compassion, as if Xiahou Yi was as bitter as that little cabbage.
Ding Sheng reported the results of the matter to Lan Qiduo every day: Dawen's body was found, those old people also came out to testify, and the shopkeepers and village heads of various shops who were inexplicably dismissed also began to tell some details about Dawen's life, and the medicine that assassinated Lao Ping Nanhou was also found......
Until one day Ding Sheng came over to Lan Qiduo and said: "Your Highness, the master means that it is better for you to return to the palace next, he doesn't want you to hear some gossip." ”
"What happened?"
"The second lady is back with the second miss!"
Ding Sheng knew that Her Royal Highness the princess knew more than he thought, so the phrase "Second Miss" was not hidden at all.
Sure enough, I heard Lan Qiduo hit the nail on the head: "Is Xiahou Yi planning to make this matter public?" ”
"The master doesn't want to, after all, this matter involves the eldest master, but the people in the clan will definitely know, and the clansmen will not let too many people know about this matter for the sake of the reputation of the Xiahou family in the future, but the second master and the stepwife will not have a good time."
"Hongu knows! Since this is the housework of the Xiahou family, it is not easy for the palace to interfere, so I will return to the palace tomorrow, Xiaoping! ”
Xiao Tuping handed a small burden to Ding Sheng: "The weather is slowly getting cold, His Royal Highness asked someone to make a cloak for Lord Xiahou." ”
Ding Sheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, their master finally had a reward!
"But what should be said still has to be said, the second master can erase the charge of killing the eldest master, but he and his stepwife committed adultery and gave birth to Xiahou Shuai, as long as the master and I are in my hands, the master said that the matter of dividing the sect is just around the corner, and please don't worry about it."
Lan Qiduo ate the snow clams in the bowl, and only felt that there was a kind of consummation that was about to settle, it was good that these things were over, and then it would be a clear and quiet life for the two of them, I don't know if Xiahou Yi would be able to accompany her around as a colt at that time, and look at the demeanor of the north and south of the river, she has not been out of the far door in two lifetimes...... (To be continued.) )
