272: Awkward third brother
Xue Ji didn't expect Ji Hongye to say this, she was also his elder anyway, how could he be so rude? If someone else talked to her like this, she would have jumped up a long time ago, scolding that person for having an empty stomach of ink, but not knowing how to respect his elders, it was really insulting.
But, in the face of him, she didn't dare.
She couldn't understand why her eyes were like two knives, as if she was going to peel people apart, which made people feel a little frightened for no reason.
"Let me tell you clearly, it is already a great grace for Xue Chang to continue to serve in the Hanlin Academy, if you come to entangle again, then he will not even have this position. ”
"You, what do you mean?"
"Huh...... Isn't that clear enough?"
Wu Yaning, who had been standing behind Xue Ji with her head down, stared at Ji Hongye at this time. She had just seen how this old Ji Ge cherished his wife, and her heart was sour.
She was originally the daughter of the Wu family, and her mother was not even a concubine, and she was bullied everywhere. finally got to her when she grew up, and found a good family business, I just hope that my son-in-law can compete for luck, so that their mother and daughter can have a status in the Wu family and stop being bullied.
Her husband is very good, no matter how she looks at the future, it is unlimited, and they all say that the Hanlin Academy is noble, but who knows that it will be buried there silently. Now, because he has no will, he will occasionally fall into himself, and if he continues like this, sooner or later he will be ruined.
She has worked harder than anyone else since she was a child, how can she let her husband be so depressed all the time, ruining him and herself. She also knew that now that her mother-in-law and herself were doing this, she would have no face, but what could she do? If they couldn't catch the only driftwood, then Xue Chang would be finished.
"Please, help my husband. Wu Yaning cried, very sad.
Ji Hongye didn't raise his eyelids, but said coldly: "If you don't go out again, I will ask people to invite you out, and when the time comes, my aunt won't blame me for not leaving you with dignity." ”
Wu Yaning and Xue Ji's faces turned pale when they heard his words, if they were kicked out, how would they see people in the future? Xue Jishi was about to leave, thinking that she would go to ask Old Madam Ji again tomorrow, she was soft-hearted, and she should not leave her alone.
Who knew that Wu Yaning and her mother-in-law thought differently, she tore off the pearl cui on her head and threw it to the ground, messed up her hair again, and then ripped her clothes into a mess. These movements of hers were a moment of lightning, and by the time Xue Ji and Ji Hongye reacted, she had already pounced on Ji Hongye.
Who is Ji Hongye, and how can he let her get close! As soon as he saw her rush over like a crazy woman, he raised his foot and kicked her out. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and more than a dozen guards with knives entered the door, lined up.
Xue Ji had lived for most of his life, and he had never seen this kind of battle, so he was suddenly a little frightened. She thought that she usually went to the door by herself, but she could also see that there were more nursing homes in Jinyuan than ordinary people, and she also heard that there were guards in the elder's house. But she never imagined that these people with knives were around all the time.
"If you refuse to help my husband, I will say that you want to forcibly occupy me! You are a dignified old man of Wenyuan Pavilion, and you attacked your cousin's daughter-in-law, how do you say that the people in the market will spread it?" Wu Yaning looked at these guards but was not afraid at all, she got up from the ground with difficulty, barely standing firmly, and her appearance was no different from that of a crazy woman.
Xue Jishi reacted at this time, ran to Wu Yaning's side tremblingly, grabbed her arm, and reprimanded: "You are so nonsense, where is our family's face, come back with me!"
Wu Yaning turned her head and glared at her fiercely, with a hint of ruthlessness and determination in her eyes, which was like two people who were usually well-behaved and obedient. It was so frightened that Xue Ji subconsciously took two steps back, not daring to step forward to stop him.
"The outside world has always been very curious about the private life of you who are big officials. If this news spreads, it will definitely stir up a thousand waves with one stone, Ji Ge Lao, are you afraid?"
"Afraid?huh...... Are you a vegetarian when I am the secretary of the criminal department?" Ji Hongye's expression was awe-inspiring, and his flat official uniform revealed his identity, like an invisible net, so that all the people in front of him had nothing to hide.
"What? Are you going to be an official? That's good! Hahaha! Anyway, you are a second-class member of the court, and you have a lot of power in your hands, so naturally whatever you say is what you say, even if you go to the court, it is all up to you. But I want you to know that no amount of power can stop you!"
Wu Yaning is completely open-minded, she is a very smart person, and she knows that with Ji Hongye's identity, it is impossible to have no political enemies in the court. She just wants to be a stain on his life, even a deadly existence. Anyway, if Xue Chang goes on like this, she will also be ruined.
Xue Jishi really didn't expect his daughter-in-law to be so fierce. Thinking that she was born in a scholarly family, and she usually took care of her by herself, she endured it, if she fought back, would she have to ask for her old life? Xue Jishi couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
She originally thought that it would be best if Ji Hongye arranged Brother Chang, but if she couldn't be promoted, she would go to the old lady to cry. Old Madam Ji must feel sorry, maybe she will reward her with two shops, she never thought that she would make things like this.
If she is really an official, she is designated to be implicated. After marrying Xue Mansion for so many years, she has always known that she has no master's heart, if it weren't for the money in her hands, she would have been abandoned a long time ago. If this matter is poked out, the Ji family will turn against each other, not to mention that the future life will be lost, even the Xue Mansion will not be able to stay.
As soon as she thought of this, she inexplicably gained a lot of courage, and went to pull Wu Yaning again. It's just that the tone is much more regular than usual, and he doesn't open his mouth and close his mouth and scolds with little hooves.
Wu Yaning didn't expect to make her mother-in-law respect her in this way, she smiled and said in a sarcastic tone: "Mother, what are you afraid of, Ji Ge is not afraid, I am a woman in the house What is there to be afraid of, it is a big deal to lose this life." My life is gone, but Ji Ge Lao has a life lawsuit, I don't know if I can cover it?"
"You're wrong, I'm not going to be an official, because I'm an official. I just want you to understand that there are some things that you can never offend, and there are some things that you can never afford to provoke!" Ji Hongye rubbed the jade wrench on his finger, his facial features still looked very elegant, his eyes were cold and sharp, and his voice was also frozen: "Send the two of them to the criminal department and go through the interrogation process." ”
The guards caught Wu Yaning and Xue Ji, and Xue Jishi cried and said good things. Wu Yaning looked excited and hysterical: "I'm not guilty, I'm a victim, what right do you have to arrest me!"
"Ning Law stipulates that defamation of officials is sentenced to three to ten years in prison, depending on the severity of the sentence. You are also suspected of intent to frame you, and the crime is even more serious, and the specific sentence of you will not be known until after the trial. ”
"You used your power for personal gain and bullied me, I'm going to sue you!" Wu Yaning was bitten to death left and right, and Ji Hongye had bad intentions towards her.
"I really don't know where you got your confidence, you look like this, do you think I can look at it?" Ji Hongye's dislike for these two people has reached an irrepressible level, he doesn't even want to pretend to be his usual gentle appearance, and said coldly.
The guards started to tie up the two of them, and when they were about to take them out, Nalan Jinxiu came in a hurry. There was such a big movement in the inner house, it was difficult for her to think about it, although there were guards guarding the door and no one was allowed to enter, but when she saw that it was her, she didn't dare to stop it.
"Third brother. She stood at the door, looked at the room scrutinically, beckoned to Ji Hongye, and said, "I have something to say to you." ”
As soon as Wu Yaning saw Nalan Jinxiu, she seemed to have seen a savior, she struggled and screamed: "He has bad intentions towards me and wants to force me, do you know that he married a brute in human skin?"
"Shut up!" Nalan Jinxiu couldn't bear it anymore, she took a deep breath, suppressed the restless emotions in her body, and then said slowly: "If you don't want to die, just stop it." ”
"Do you think I'll be scared?"
Nalan Jinxiu walked up to her and whispered to her ear: "Aren't you afraid, aren't your mother-in-law afraid?" ”
"What do you want to do? Jinling is the imperial capital, do you dare?"
Compared with Wu Yaning's hoarseness, Nalan Jinxiu seemed very calm, and her voice was also very small: "My third brother is a cabinet minister, and the excerpts that the saint saw were all drafted by my third brother, and he is the secretary of the criminal department, and those who break the law in Daning are under his control." Your Wu family and Xue family are not famous families, and it is still very easy to charge you with exterminating the nine clans at will. Do you count who of these two families willingly accompanied you to death?"
"Anyway, if my husband's future stops here, I won't be much better alive than dead. ”
Nalan Jinxiu laughed angrily at her: "What is the real life is better than death, I think it won't be long before you know." ”
After she finished speaking, she took Ji Hongye's hand and went out, Ji Hongye, who was still calm, had a calm face, and the look on his face eased a little. He followed her out, saw her looking around, and couldn't help but say, "I can say it." ”
"You're not really planning to send them to the Criminal Department, are you?"
"I want to send it. Ji Hongye said with a cold face, seeing her staring at herself with a pair of big black eyes, helpless: "They have no king's law and slander the court officials." ”
"Is it okay not to send it to the Punishment Department?"
"Not good. ”
Nalan Jinxiu looked at him and felt that he might be making trouble, which made her feel very strange. The third brother has always been very steady, it can be said that she has never seen him make trouble, today, what's the matter? She smiled in her eyes and said softly: "This kind of thing is the best without going through the official, you see that Xue Wu is like a madman, it is inevitable that he will bite at will when the time comes, and your reputation will be damaged." ”
