Chapter 90: A Hall of Gold and Jade (4)
"I don't hide it from you, my restaurant was given by Mrs. Han, the richest man in Jiangnan, it originally belonged to Mrs. Han's second son, but this second master Han also died in the hands of Lu Tingqi, of course, I am not a person who takes advantage of people's danger to make money, Mrs. Han said at the time that he would not take money from the sale of the restaurant, but I still asked people to send him a silver ticket of three thousand taels, although he replied that he used the silver ticket of three thousand taels to buy a small Zhuangzi in my name, but I did not accept the Zhuangzi, and I have never seen what the Zhuangzi looks like."
Du Shaonan must declare it first, otherwise if Lin Yuxiao refuses, others present will criticize him as incomplete, especially if there is a family of officials here.
"What are you doing so zealously about confiscating benefits?" In this way, Fang Xiaozhu was the first to ask.
"I have a good heart, and besides, the old lady Han is also innocent in this matter, and he is hiding it from him......" Du Shaonan said how the jade unicorn was lost, "The Han family currently has a population of more than three hundred, I really can't bear to see them being beheaded all over the house, helping the old and the young to the execution ground!" ”
As soon as he said this, Mu Qingyin and Liu Yiyi's two girls' families softened first, Liu Yiyi was embarrassed to speak first as an outsider, and Mu Qingyin said: "Yu Xiao, the jade unicorn has been lost and recovered, there is no need to let the Han family take the lives of more than 300 people, right?" ”
Sure enough, he didn't let Mu Qingyin come in vain! Du Shaonan's eyes lit up, and it was rare for Mu Qingyin, who was not concerned about everything, to plead, and Lin Yuxiao would not pay attention to it.
Lin Yuxiao was dealing with the braised pork ribs made by Xiao Tang, and after listening to Mu Qingyin's words, he put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth and hands before he said slowly: "I heard that Old Lady Han's steproom was gone at the end of October last year, and it seems that he is a sad son." Really, although she is a step-room, she has been married to Mrs. Han for more than 40 years, but it turned out that she was gone. ”
Suddenly, a cold wind drifted through the hall. Du Shaonan's hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air, the old lady Han, who was very much like his grandfather in his previous life, smiled kindly and was even more pitiful, did he plan to deal with his wife who had been married for more than forty years at the same time when he sent him to the restaurant? !
This is not his truly kind grandfather at all, and even Du Lao Guogong is not as good!
"I don't care!" Du Shaonan drank a cup of tea fiercely, it was really an insult to such a kind face!
"But...... The old lady of the Han family died so inexplicably...... Nobody cares? "Even if the woman is partial to her own son is not a good stepmother, and it is still breaking the law. But it should also be punished by the law, and it should not be executed by her husband to kill his wife. Liu Yiyi couldn't accept the word.
"The old lady of the Han family has been buried, and if you want to prove that there is a problem with the cause of her death, you have to open the coffin for an autopsy. If there are no close relatives, the patriarch or village chief shall be the plaintiff. Otherwise, the government can't dig people's graves casually, the old lady of the Han family has no son, but there are still grandchildren and granddaughters, and the mother's family is still a big family in Mengzhou City, and there are many brothers and nephews. ”
Du Shaonan explained to Liu Yiyi, in his opinion. Lin Yuxiao can find out that the old lady of the Han family died in an unknown way, can the relatives of the old lady of the Han family not feel anything wrong? It's just that maybe they resented the old lady of the Han family who had caused trouble just as much as Old Lady Han. Who let this ancient law have a word called Zhulian Nine Tribes!
"It's the opening of the coffin for an autopsy, who can guarantee that the old lady of the Han family was poisoned or strangled, she dared to steal the jade unicorn to her son, she must be very concerned about the second master Han, the pain of losing a son is reasonable, coupled with the horror of the nine clans in trouble, at this time, as long as she is lacking in food, without her medicine, no matter how stimulating the words, you can kill people without doing it yourself." Fang Xiaozhu's family has been in the imperial history from generation to generation, and he knows too much about the methods of grinding the dead with soft knives in high-ranking families.
"With the age of the old lady of the Han family, the next close relatives who are still alive are either her peers or juniors, if the coffin is opened and the autopsy does not show anything, the first accuser of the deceased will be punished." Yue Linfeng also persuaded Liu Yiyi, she was too kind-hearted, but this matter was too complicated.
"Even if you are willing to sue, even if you find out, what if your grandson avenges her grandmother and sues her grandfather? Is it filial piety or unfilial piety, killing his wife according to the law is a capital crime, the grandson accused his grandfather of causing his grandfather to be killed, and he also wanted to commit suicide, and find out why Mrs. Han killed his wife? Because his wife resisted? The nine clans of the old lady of the Han family also have to be planted. "Du Shaonan spread his hands, for a woman to catch himself and the whole family and even the whole family, it seems that there is only love, right?
Liu Yiyi was restless, everyone was persuading her, as if the wrong person was her, was it justified to kill his wife in ancient times?
"More than 300 lives, this thing is really difficult to do," Lin Yuxiao also frowned, he knew Li Mu best here, Li Mu has been determined to be a Ming monarch since he ascended the throne, and he has not ordered to kill so many people, but he ...... "The jade unicorn was given to the Han family by Xuanzong, and the emperor can't help but dispose of the Han family." Otherwise, it would be time for Li Mu to have a reputation for unfilial piety.
Anyway, the Han family was punished by the old lady Han and bore the brunt, and he couldn't live if he killed his wife, so Mu Qingyin didn't pursue this, just more than 300 lives...... As an ancient woman, she understands better that this is more than just a number: "Can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds?" Only the head of the family is held accountable, not the clansmen? ”
Du Shaonan once again found that Mu Qingyin came to the right place today, and she asked the point again: "I originally meant the same thing, the Han family lost the jade unicorn and didn't dare to make a noise, this matter happened quietly and was quietly resolved, who would have thought that Old Lady Han would ......" But if he wanted to say it himself, Old Lady Han should die, and that old face would be ......
"How to solve it quietly? According to me, the daughter of the Han family deserves to die, and the heirloom that can only be inherited by the eldest son of the Yuan family is given to her son by violating the ancestral teachings, and it can be inferred from this that she is usually not good to the daughter of the former house, and it is not a good daughter-in-law to abandon the ancestral teachings, it is for unfilial piety; It is unkind to treat the former house girl badly; The jade unicorn is not a simple treasure, it was temporarily given by the emperor to the Han family, and she can give it to whoever she wants? If she doesn't obey the decree, she doesn't understand the nine clans?! ”
The person who spoke so bluntly and ruthlessly was not Fang Xiaozhu or Xiao Tang, "Disobeying the will is disloyal, and it is unrighteous to disregard the lives of more than 300 people in the whole clan, this kind of woman is still crying out for her, it's really funny!" ”
The only one present who shouted for the old lady of the Han family was Liu Yiyi. So Xiao Tang couldn't help but lower her head when she said it, it was wrong for her to just think about killing her wife, but what about a vicious stepmother who was killed who wanted to favor her own son regardless of the lives of more than 300 people? Wife Killing...... Still not right!
The old lady of the Han family is wronged or not, and Yue Linfeng can not be cared for. But he definitely couldn't see Liu Yiyi's grievances, and as soon as he saw Xiao Tang like this, he spoke: "According to your meaning, the daughter of the Han family deserves to die, and it is right to kill his wife, and the old lady Han is a righteous murderer, so he should be rewarded?" ”
"I haven't finished my sentence yet, what are you in a hurry to interject!? I didn't see you in such a hurry when Yu Xiao had an accident! Xiao Tang glared at Yue Linfeng, interrupted him to speak, and bit back without apologizing. It's terrible to be obsessed with sex!
As soon as he talked about Lin Yuxiao's distress, Yue Linfeng was silent again, before he met Liu Yiyi. Master and junior brother are his most important people, especially Lin Yuxiao is the great benefactor who pulled him out of hell, and if he failed to protect Lin Yuxiao, he probably won't be relieved in this life.
Don Jr. snorted. What's the use of guilt. Next...... Good luck, don't have a next time!
"I haven't finished speaking, the women of the Han family are not very good, and the men are not things, the jade unicorn is given to the head of the family who was born as the eldest son, not to the wife of the head of the family, he wants to take the holy relics seriously and let his wife steal it. It can be seen that he didn't take the life and death of the Holy Decree Zuxun clan seriously, and he was disloyal, unfilial, and unjust! Then, when something happened, his first thought was to take his wife's life. Unkind! There are also the top and bottom of the Han family, what did the Han family do that they would be completely unaware of? It's not that I'm afraid of death. It's better to die than to die by others, what else can this kind of person save! ”
Anyway, it's not a good thing at all, Xiao Tang doesn't bother to care about the life or death of this kind of person!
"There is no need to deny it comprehensively, there are always more than 300 people who live far away and have poor relationships that are not known, such as some poor distant relatives, who have not been touched much, and they have lost their heads together?" Du Shaonan has been an ancient man for seventeen years, but when faced with the problem of life and death, he still prefers to do things by one person.
What if you just can't accept it? Did he have the ability to change the law against the imperial power?
This celebration banquet was not at all festive because of the Han family's affairs, and only Lin Yuxiao and Xiao Tang were really full of food and drink, and then Lin Yuxiao got up first: "I still have business, Linfeng, you can help me send Sister Mu back." ”
"I'll send Miss Liu back." Du Shaonan interconnected, and as soon as he said that, Yue Linfeng couldn't help but look at Liu Yiyi, his eyes were envious and longing.
Mu Qingyin is a woman who is sensitive to self-injury, how can she continue to be annoying to others? "I'll just go by myself, I'm familiar with Mengzhou City."
Lin Yuxiao disagreed: "What does this have to do with whether you are familiar with it or not, I am also familiar with Mengzhou City, and I was almost cheated as a result." ”
"I'll send you." Lin Yuxiao emphasized that Yue Linfeng was a little embarrassed and guilty, and he couldn't be careless, but Du Shaonan was okay with sending Liu Yiyi?
"I'll just go by myself." Mu Qingyin didn't want to be a burden to others.
Lin Yuxiao's eyes flashed: "Xiao Tang and I will send you first, if you don't get home safely, I don't have the heart to do anything else, so I'll send Shaonan and Miss Liu to Linfeng." ”
This time, Yue Linfeng didn't squeak, but his expression softened, obviously he was willing, Mu Qingyin bowed his head silently, but he didn't insist on refusing, at least there was Lin Yuxiao who really cared about her.
"I'll deliver it." Someone said in a deep voice, but it was not anyone present, but a young man of twenty-four or five-year-old who walked in from outside.
The young man was dressed in a navy blue brocade robe, which was a little old-fashioned, but it couldn't stand the upright figure of his figure--this figure made Liu Yiyi easily think of a modern professional soldier, and his handsome face also looked a little familiar.
"Second brother?" Mu Qingyin was extremely surprised.
"Second cousin!?" Lin Yuxiao was surprised and delighted, "Didn't you say that it would take two or three days for you to get to Mengzhou?" ”
"I'm lucky, when I came to Jeju, the river was thawing, so it's naturally a lot faster to take the waterway without riding a horse, are you okay?" The person who came was Mu Qinglang, the second young master of the Mu family, who was originally at the border.
"The celebration banquet has been held, what can I do?" Lin Yuxiao smiled easily.
If it's really okay, the emperor's secret envoy will urgently contact him, who is walking halfway to the capital, and ask him to come to Mengzhou? Mu Qinglang had actually been here for a while, and he had been listening to the hidden breath outside for a while before coming in, thinking that this was not a good place to talk about it from the beginning, so he should send his unconscious sister back first.
Lin Yuxiao walked out of the restaurant with them, and looked on the street and didn't find a familiar face, he simply asked directly: "How many people have you brought?" ”
"Four of my seven junjun and the other twenty guards, this time I returned to Beijing just for routine business and vacation, and I didn't bring many people." Listening to his detailed question, Mu Qinglang was even more worried about the real situation in Mengzhou.
"Second cousin, you forgot, the Qin Cha who patrols the heavens has the right to dispatch troops, and I can still eat and drink if the soldiers and horses don't move, which means that there will be no chaos in Mengzhou, you can rest assured, the matter of Mengzhou is not what will happen to this city." Lin Yuxiao is meaningful.
Mu Qinglang couldn't guess what was going on for a while, but Lin Yuxiao was able to take Mu Qingyin to the celebration banquet, which meant that everything was still under his control, and he didn't have to worry too much about it for the time being.
Several people were divided into three roads outside the restaurant, Liu Yiyi walked with Du Shaonan and Yue Linfeng, Du Shaonan said first: "The person just now is Mu Qinglang, the second brother of Miss Mu, he was originally at the border. ”
Only she doesn't know here, Liu Yiyi responded with an "oh", the novel only said that Mu Qingyin had two brothers, and she only knew the name of one of them today, thanks to Du Shaonan who introduced her.
"Mu Qinglang is usually very sunny, and he is also quite familiar with Linfeng, but today he has a straight face, seeing Linfeng is the same as not seeing, I think he heard that Linfeng was unwilling to protect his sister." Du Shaonan should say it generously.
Yue Linfeng blushed and hesitated: "Qingyin is also my sister, how could I not be willing to protect her?" ”
"Yu Xiao is also your junior brother, so don't you also rank behind now." Du Shaonan immediately replied.
"Yu Xiao's martial arts are strong, and Qingyin's skills are also good, but can you?" Therefore, Yue Linfeng was not at ease with Liu Yiyi on the road with Du Shaonan.
"Yu Xiao is a strong martial artist, so you can't die if you fall off the cliff, how good you will be in the future, you can take a few more cases and save a few more people." Du Shaonan does not suffer a loss.
Yue Linfeng couldn't say it, and he was frightened every time he thought about Lin Yuxiao's fall from the cliff, so as soon as Du Shaonan moved this thing out, he couldn't speak.
Liu Yiyi only wishes to be a little transparent next to her, Yue Linfeng's younger brothers and sisters don't care at all, and even reason and justice are on the sidelines, all for her! What an infatuated male protagonist! Why can't she be moved, and she is embarrassed and uncomfortable?
Fortunately, after walking and walking, I finally arrived at Liu's house, and Master Liu waited at home, and was very polite and grateful to Du Shaonan and Yue Linfeng who sent their daughter back, and then asked: "After the case is over, we ordinary people will be able to sleep well, I heard that the stolen goods will be returned tomorrow, doesn't Lu Tingqi still have accomplices?" It doesn't matter, right? (To be continued.) )
