Chapter 149: Evidence
Xue Mingyang seemed to be startled by seeing Xue Mingsheng as soon as he opened the door, raised his eyes and looked at each other, the two brothers were similar in age and height, but they didn't have the friendship that brothers should have.
After Xue Lang saw Xue Mingsheng, his mood was even worse, and his face became even more ugly.
If the person he wants to see most now is Xia Meixue, then the person he doesn't want to see the most is Xue Mingyang. Because of guilt.
Maybe it's because people are dying, and their hearts are also good, now that I think about it, although he has given Xue Mingyang brocade clothes and jade food since he was a child, and he has not treated him badly materially, but spiritually, the care given to him is not one percent of Xue Mingsheng's, or rather, he has never taken this son to heart.
Because when he knew that Xia Meixue was pregnant, the two had already fallen out, Xue Lang had no good impression of Xia Meixue at that time, and naturally had no feelings and expectations for the child in her womb.
After the child was born, he was poisoned from the womb, and the doctor asserted that he would not live to be thirty, and he was weak and sickly, such a boy, even if it was the eldest son of the son-in-law, Xue Lang never had any expectations for him, and he never put a little emotion.
At this time, looking at Xue Mingyang, who was also tall, Xue Lang suddenly felt a sense of guilt, feeling that he owed a lot to this child. Although he forced himself to give an explanation, but when he thought about it, this request was not too much.
After so many years in Xue Mansion, the only thing Xue Mingyang can rely on and make him feel like a relative may be Xia Meixue. Now that he may have been harmed by his half-brother, shouldn't he find justice for his mother, if he is so cold-blooded and indifferent, it will make people feel worried.
Unconsciously, when Xue Lang faced Xue Mingyang, his face softened a little.
"Aren't you in Yangzhou, why did you come back?" Xue Lang quickly came back to his senses and put on a slightly calmer expression. Even if some guilt arises in his heart, he is unwilling to show it. He has been in charge of the Xue family for decades. He had become accustomed to speaking to his family in a commanding tone, so it was impossible for him to show his guilt to his son no matter what.
"I've come back to tell my father something." Xue Mingyang saw Xue Mingsheng. I didn't panic at all when I was caught doing something bad, but I was very calm.
"What's the matter with you?" Xue Lang glanced at Xue Mingsheng, and a strange thought suddenly rose to him.
"That's right." Xue Mingyang didn't care about Xue Mingsheng's presence at all, and said calmly: "I have been in Yangzhou these days, and I heard that there will be a plague in Linchuan today, and the common people are vying to buy Qingxinsan. However, due to the lack of medicinal materials, Heshantang has been out of stock. The Heshantang in Yangzhou is also out of stock, and I asked people to come back the day before yesterday, but the person sent said that the medicinal materials in Linchuan are even more nervous than in Yangzhou. ”
Xue Mingsheng never thought that Xue Mingyang would dare to say this at this time, and immediately said: "Big brother, the reason why this medicinal material is in short supply, I think you know better than anyone else." ”
Xue Mingyang glanced at him lightly: "I heard that it was because the medicinal materials from Xining were not delivered on time this time, because I don't know for some reason." The second Shao was reluctant to receive the goods, and then was cut off by Rong Shao of Zhengduofang. ”
"I don't know why?" Xue Mingsheng sneered: "If it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother did something from it, why wouldn't I dare to accept Xining's goods this time?" Don't I want to do business with Shantang? ”
"Did I do anything out of it?" Xue Mingyang looked at Xue Mingsheng's expression completely innocent: "Second brother, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, I do have a lot of dissatisfaction with you, but I don't want to do such a vicious thing." Even if I want to do something to you, I will never implicate my family's business, let alone innocent people. ”
Xue Mingyang's righteous words were not empty at all. But Xue Mingsheng didn't believe it at all. was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Xue Lang: "Mingsheng, you keep saying that the eldest brother has done something in the medicinal materials, but what evidence is there?" ”
Evidence is the key to everything. It's useless to talk in the vernacular.
"It was Nian Yao who told me personally, and she said that she found a letter from her eldest brother's study, and it was clearly written, saying that people had poisoned the medicinal herbs in Xining." Xue Mingsheng actually didn't have much confidence in his heart, and he wasn't 100% sure about this matter. But at this time, it is necessary to bite the bullet anyway, anyway, now the medicinal materials are in Rong Ruo's hands, and they are really poisonous, as for who did it, Xue Mingyang can't say clearly.
"A girl's words can also be used as evidence?" Xue Mingyang felt a little funny: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank the second brother, I just got married and you sent a girl, and I don't know what the intentions are." I left her in Linchuan, and you specially sent her to Yangzhou, the girl tossed in every way in the house, and was punished by Lingfeng a few times, probably because she felt hopeless to stay, so she told me to go back to her hometown, and I also specially gave some silver, but I didn't expect that she still held a grudge and made up this kind of story. Of course, a girl may not be able to make up such a story. ”
The implication is that this story may not have been made up by Nian Yao, so who is it, there is no second choice except Xue Mingsheng.
Seeing the brothers competing in front of him, eager for you to live or die, Xue Lang only felt a burst of irritability, and immediately slapped the table: "Okay, you all shut up for me." ”
The two stopped talking for a moment and looked at Xue Lang together.
Xue Lang took a breath and said, "Mingsheng, apart from that girl's words, do you have any other evidence?" Because of a girl's words, how do you make me believe you? ”
Xue Mingsheng opened his mouth, he really didn't.
Seeing that Xue Mingsheng had nothing to say, Xue Lang looked at Xue Mingyang: "What about you, you came back from Yangzhou, not just to tell me about it." ”
Xue Lang is in Linchuan, so he will naturally know earlier than Xue Mingyang, so he will not ask him to run in person.
Xue Mingyang said with a straight face: "Naturally not. Instead, I know that Zhengduofang has purchased a large number of medicinal materials from Xining, and many of them are what we need. I also knew that the lack of medicinal materials at this time would have a great impact on our business, so I discussed with Zhengduofang and asked them to transfer some of the medicinal materials to us, and they agreed, so I was in a hurry to send the medicinal materials back, and by the way, I told my father about it. ”
Xue Mingyang suddenly lowered his voice, and his mood was a little low: "I know that my father has been looking for my mother in Jingshan, and I still want to ask if there is any progress." (To be continued.) )
