Chapter 160: Eviction
Xiao Yanqing trembled and signed on the paper, pressed the handprint, and Bi Jin took back the paper and presented it to Zhou Xiya.
Zhou Xiya glanced at it, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, these crimes were all listed by her, and with this crime, Xiao Yanqing had no place to turn over.
"Continue" Zhou Xiya spat out two words, but she almost scared Xiao Yanqing's heart and gall.
"Zhou Xiya, you don't believe in your words, you dare to ......" Xiao Yanqing shouted at Zhou Xiya.
"Didn't you hear Confucius say that only women and villains are difficult to raise, since I am a woman, I can naturally be untrustworthy, you let me lose so much, I want to confess my sins so simply like the past, it's too easy, don't let you remember it deeply, how can it be worth my personal trip." Zhou Xiya waved her hand, and the guard grabbed Xiao Yanqing's arm, and with a force, with a click, Xiao Yanqing's arm was broken.
With this incriminating evidence, as long as there is Xiao Houye's protection, it is nothing to Xiao Yanqing, where does the yamen dare to interrogate him, so she wants to deal with it for Tianxingdao and the law, and she has not killed him all at once, it is already her mercy.
Zhou Xiya turned her back and turned a deaf ear to Xiao Yanqing's shouts.
At this time, a group of officials rushed in from outside, and an official walked in first, it was Ying Tianfu Yin, "Who reported the case!" As soon as these routine words came out, I saw Xiao Yanqing, who had been tortured by the guards, fainted.
"This ...... What are you doing here?" Lord Fu Yin's eyes widened.
"Lord Fu Yin came just in time, this person on the ground is the person behind the fire in the treasury of Nanshi a few days ago, please bring it back to the yamen for good interrogation. Give me an explanation and let's go. Zhou Xiya glanced at Lord Fu Yin and left with her own people.
"Don't go...... Lord Fu Yin shouted, but was stopped by the official beside him: "My lord, this is the second lady of the Xiao family, this matter is not easy to do." ”
"What's going on, hurry up, send the third prince to the hospital." Lord Fu Yin has no choice, no one can afford to provoke him, and the affairs of the Xiao family are not handled in his own home. What are you doing in the yamen? He couldn't handle it again.
This Lord Yin of Xiao Yanqing Mansion is very familiar, this is a master who often makes trouble, how many messes they should Tianfu deal with for him.
I can't help it, although I don't want to care. But what should be managed still has to be managed. Lord Fu Yin went directly to find Marquis Xiao.
After Lord Fu Yin explained the situation and left. Xiao Hou Ye slapped the table angrily, "This evil woman"
"Master Hou is not good, there is news from the medical hall. The third young master has multiple fractures on his body, although the bones are taken back, but the person is seriously injured, and he will definitely be disabled in the future, and whether he can walk again is a problem. The butler hurried over to report it.
"Find me that rebel son and wicked woman" Marquis Xiao blew his beard and glared, this vicious woman regarded his Xiao family as something, and let her be a random bullying as a daughter-in-law.
Soon, some well-informed people in the Xiao family got the news, and they naturally didn't mind adding fuel to the fire when such a big thing happened.
Xiao Jingqing left the house, and he was not the first to arrive, but Xiao Ruiqing and them arrived.
"Father, this matter must be severely punished, the Xiao family can't tolerate such a vicious woman, today she dares to attack the third brother, next time I don't know who to attack, the Xiao family will never be at peace if it goes on like this." Xiao Ruiqing was very angry, Xiao Yanqing was his person, Zhou Xiya dared to do so much, this was not in his eyes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, what do they want to do.
"Yes, father, it's not that the daughter-in-law is talkative, since the Zhou family entered the door, there has been no birth in this family, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous, the second brother is a scourge to take back." Wang followed.
Mrs. Xiao frowned, obviously a little unhappy.
As long as the people in the house were friends with Xiao Ruiqing and them, they all interjected, and Xiao Houye's face became more and more ugly.
At this time, Zhou Xiya was standing outside the hall, she was waiting for Xiao Jingqing, she needed to see Xiao Jingqing's attitude.
Soon Xiao Jingqing came back, and when he saw Zhou Xiya standing at the door, Xiao Jingqing's face flashed a trace of helplessness, "You can still be so calm and relaxed at this time"
"I'm sorry I'm causing you trouble again." Zhou Xiya took his hand and felt relieved, but fortunately, Xiao Jingqing did not complain about her.
"I'm used to it, just do it, anyway, that Xiao Yanqing guy is a scourge." Xiao Jingqing sighed in his heart, he was ready to be in the same boat with Zhou Xiya through thick and thin, his father's anger must always be borne by someone, and it is better for him to bear it for his wife.
Zhou Xiya pursed her lips and smiled, at this moment, she knew that marrying Xiao Jingqing was the most correct choice.
The two walked into the hall, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, looking at the two people who walked in, Xiao Houye opened his mouth to "kneel"
Xiao Jingqing and Zhou Xiya knelt on the ground.
"I wonder what we did to make my father so angry?" Zhou Xiya looked at Marquis Xiao fearlessly.
"Don't know? Ha... I don't know, the old man has seen his eyes today, you are really vicious, you beat the little uncle to a cripple, and you still have such fearlessness, who gave the courage. Marquis Xiao looked at Zhou Xiya sharply.
"It turns out that my father said this, and my daughter-in-law didn't feel that she had done something wrong, but she wanted to ask her father for a reward?" Zhou Xiya suddenly laughed.
"Reward? It's really ridiculous in the world, full of nonsense" Marquis Xiao slapped the table angrily.
"Brother and sister, just confess your mistakes and see how angry you are with your father." Xiao Ruiqing looked at Zhou Xiya like a good old man.
"Father, for the matter of the third brother, you really wish your daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is really standing in the position of the Xiao family, for the good of the Xiao family, you will kill your relatives righteously, the daughter-in-law naturally did nothing wrong in this matter, and please listen to my father, if I really do something wrong, my father will punish my daughter-in-law." Zhou Xiya's face was very calm.
"You say"
"A few days ago, one of my warehouses caught fire, and a large number of goods in it were burned, but the things were burned and burned, and my daughter-in-law could bear this loss, but the goods I transported to three places were also hijacked, one of which was to be transported to the capital, and the daughter-in-law had a testimony in her hand, which was a charge signed by the third brother. The third brother admitted that he planned all this, robbed his daughter-in-law's caravan, and burned his daughter-in-law's warehouse, if it was just because of this, the father was giving his daughter-in-law ten dares, and the daughter-in-law did not dare to beat the third brother like this, and the daughter-in-law had no choice but to do this. Zhou Xiya pretended to be innocent and said.
"It's a last resort, I've really opened my eyes, what can make you so painful to kill the killer, what is something I can't bear. He who must beat his own son like this to atone for his sins. "Marquis Xiao was angry.
"And what if it's a hijacking of tribute?" Zhou Xiya asked rhetorically.
"Hijacking tribute? How can it be. "Marquis Xiao is unbelievable.
"How could it be. The goods produced by the daughter-in-law have always been the most fashionable and trendy products in the capital, and many of them have been directly set as tribute and handed over directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the last batch of goods has already been ordered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they were shipped out as soon as they were produced. But he was robbed by the third brother. In addition, there is also an internal inspector from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who receives the goods. This matter is not a trivial matter, the news has been transmitted back to the capital as soon as possible, although the daughter-in-law is not talented. But I also know that now the emperor is staring at the Xiao family, looking for the fault of the Xiao family to deal with the Xiao family, so the daughter-in-law simply came forward and disposed of the third brother, so that it is good to deal with His Majesty, and the third brother can save a life, although the daughter-in-law's means are a little excessive, but if you don't do it to show the emperor, I believe the emperor may not let go of this matter. Zhou Xiya was full of nonsense.
But the lie has already been said, she can handle the rest of the matter by herself, Li Mu did business with the palace before, she can get through by doing this, and her father is in the capital, he will help her deal with the affairs in the capital, as long as Marquis Xiao doesn't check carefully, nothing will be bad, where will he know who Zhou Xiya is doing business with.
"Nonsense, even if it's because of the tribute, it won't beat people like this, can't my Xiao family resist the pressure of the imperial court." Xiao Ruiqing saw that his father's face softened a little, and he felt bad, so he hurriedly said.
"Do you really not care about the pressure of the imperial court? Father is plotting big things, now is the preparation stage, there can be no contradictions with the court, what is needed most now is caution, and the third brother is arrogant, it is easy for people to catch things wrong, how many pairs of eyes are staring at it, maybe our Xiao family has a secret agent of the court, if you don't give the third brother a lesson, how to do it, although the daughter-in-law knows that no one in this family can come forward to teach the third brother a lesson, but the matter has come to this point, the daughter-in-law can only implement thunderbolt means to suppress this matter, the more we cover it, others think more, and the daughter-in-law makes things bigger, the more it shows that our Xiao family is fine. Zhou Xiya argued.
She really admires her wit now, and she actually found such a reason to fool people.
"Father, what Xiya said is right, the son is reporting to his father about something, the son caught the emperor's spies in Yingtian, they have already planted people in our army, from their confessions, we know that there are people in our family, even the people around my father, the emperor doesn't believe in us, we have to guard against it, but if it creates the illusion of discord in our family to the emperor, it can confuse the emperor and let him relax his vigilance." Xiao Jingqing said with help on the side.
"Hehe, the illusion of family discord? Is this still used as a fake? Okay, since you want a fake, then good, your father moved out of the Xiao family for me and went out to open a mansion alone, you have to pay the price if you cripple the third child, I don't care if you are really for the Xiao family, but my Xiao family can't tolerate you, you leave for me. Marquis Xiao sneered and pointed directly at Zhou Xiya.
"Father" Xiao Jingqing didn't expect his father to kick them out.
"Give you three days to move out for me, don't you have a house outside, then move out, isn't this the Xiao family you want, okay, I'll give it to you, I want to see how far you can go." Marquis Xiao brushed his sleeves away.
Zhou Xiya, a woman, admitted that she has the means and ability, if she is dedicated to the Xiao family, he will be very relieved, the family needs a capable woman, but unfortunately she is not, so such a woman is just a scourge to the Xiao family, and she can only be driven out.
"Look at the good things you have done" Mrs. Xiao looked at Zhou Xiya angrily, because this woman was also kicked out of her own son.
"Second brother, if you need anything about moving, you can come to the eldest brother, I won't let you go so gloomy." Xiao Ruiqing looked at Xiao Jingqing with a smile, Xiao Jingqing left, if he is not in the house, he can't contact his father, so his status in his father's heart will decline more and more, and he will be able to snatch the military power in the hands of his second brother.
"The eldest brother has this time to go and see the third brother, without the help of the third brother, the eldest brother can still laugh, I don't know how the third brother will feel." Xiao Jingqing looked at Xiao Ruiqing mockingly, and pulled Zhou Xiya away.
Back in their own courtyard, Xiao Jingqing sat on a chair, and Zhou Xiya walked over and grabbed his hand, "I'm sorry"
"Don't say sorry to me, it's already the best result I expected to be like this, it's nothing to move out of the house, maybe it's a good thing for me, in our own house, but it can better attract talents, I can make my own decisions about anything, and there are fewer eyeliners around me, and I usually spend most of my time in the barracks, as long as I have the military power in my hands, it is a kind of ease to have less others." Xiao Jingqing patted Zhou Xiya's hand and said comfortably.
Although he will lose his father's dependence, it will be easier for him to do things in the future, after all, there are some things that his father does that he does not agree with, so he should be out of sight and out of mind.
"I will take care of our little family, and it will definitely not be worse for us to move out than now." Zhou Xiya hugged Xiao Jingqing and promised-
"Madam, there's news from the front room, tell us to hurry up and pack up our salutes, and we will move out of the house tomorrow." The maid beside Li Aoxue reported.
Li Aoxue, who had a big belly and seemed to be about to give birth, sat up suddenly, "Move out of the house?" What do you mean, where are we moving to? ”
"Those who moved to the house outside the second son, the people in the house are spreading, the second lady disabled the third son, and was reprimanded by the Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye asked the second son to move out of the Xiao family, so we have to follow." The maid hurriedly said.
Since being confined in this backyard by the young master, Mrs. rarely goes out, and there is no way to pass the news outside, and the master's fetus is not so stable, the master has been raising the fetus, usually walking around in the yard of the backyard, and the door connected to the front yard is guarded by the second son's people, and the master is not allowed to go out, so the master can know the outside news is limited.
"What did Zhou Xiya do, she actually angered the Hou Ye and drove Xiao Jingqing out, what will this woman do besides causing trouble, she is a scourge." Li Aoxue gritted her teeth, if it weren't for Zhou Xiya, how could Xiao Jingqing take care of her like a prisoner, she and that woman don't share the same sky.
"Master, let's get ready." The maid asked in a whisper.
"Prepare something, go to the main courtyard to see your mother and see what the hell is going on." Li Aoxue stood up.
"But we can't get out?"
"Now this yard is chaotic, then you can naturally go out at the door, follow me" Li Aoxue walked out with her waist and big belly. (To be continued.) )
