Chapter 372: The Death of the Gan Family
Gan Yuling suddenly woke up to something, she thought about it at this time, too, this person has been married to Du Jingyuan for so many years, how many things has Du Jingyuan done for him, didn't he rob Du Jingyuan's family property, and then kicked her out of the house, and even killed her!
Such a person herself believes that he is a good person who will be good to herself, she is really blind! At this time, Gan Yuling felt that she was suffering from the same illness as Du Jingyuan.
She really hated it, if she had seen the other party's face clearly, she might not be so remorseful and sad today.
At this time, Gan Yuling was remorseful and remorseful, and sad was sad, but seeing Chen Shirong's vicious and ruthless appearance, thinking about the situation of her own family outside, Gan Yuling was very scared, she must not be sent out!
Because she had already seen through the cracks that her usually high-ranking aunt and sister-in-law had been escorted out of it by those vulgar soldiers, their clothes were messy, and Zhu Hai was also crooked, where was there still a little bit of the usual noble and delicate appearance.
Although the mother-in-law is pale and calm, but the sister-in-law Gan Yuqi has been kicked to the ground by a soldier rudely because of her constant shouting, resistance and struggle.
Looking at the miserable appearance of her sister-in-law, who is usually high up and disdainful of her sister at all, she subconsciously covered her stomach in fear, thinking that if she went out, maybe this kick would fall on her stomach.
Covering her stomach and feeling the slightly convex belly, Gan Yuling suddenly realized that she was pregnant, and immediately felt that this child was her lifesaver at this time, and hurriedly said to Chen Shirong, "Brother Rong, Brother Rong, don't ignore me, I'm pregnant with your child!" ”
"Hmph, since you know, stay in the car, don't scream and move, do you understand?" Chen Shirong looked at Gan Yuling's belly, thinking that it was his own child inside, and his tone softened a little.
Gan Yuling breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him say this, thinking that she would not be sent away at this time, "Know, know!" He didn't dare to say anything more.
And Chen Shirong continued to look outside, at this time Gan Tongzhi, Gan Yujie and Gan Yulin were also escorted out, Gan Yulin was at the front, don't look at him who is usually extremely domineering in the Gan family, but at this time, he was scared and didn't dare to cry loudly, two lines of tears hung on his face, he kept gasping, and was grabbed by the arm of a soldier and walked out.
And followed by Gan Yujie, he walked out by himself, but he was followed by two soldiers, after all, he was the eldest son of the Gan family and a person of merit, and the soldiers did not insult him too much.
It's just that his face is a little pale, and although his steps are not big, he walks very slowly, and he can see the heaviness of his mood.
He was followed by his wife Gu, Gu was holding their three-year-old son Gan Qirui at this time, and a nurse behind him was holding their six-year-old eldest daughter Gan Qixing, and the two children were also very scared, but probably because their parents were not crying and making a fuss next to them, and they were quite quiet.
After Gan Yujie's family was pressed out, a long time passed, and Gan Tongzhi was also escorted out.
He also came out by himself, after all, he is an official of the imperial court, and the respect he deserves is still given, and his dress and image are quite decent.
He was followed by a group of soldiers, but at this time he was not calm, but his face was full of indignation.
When he walked to the gate, he stood on the platform of his house condescendingly, pointed to a person dressed as a general, and shouted: "Ren Sanquan, you help Qi Changqing to abuse Zhongliang, and trespass on the house of the court officials, I Gan Liqun will definitely not give up, I must report your evil deeds to the court, play to the emperor, and give my Gan family justice!" ”
Ren Sanquan, who was scolded by Gan Liqun, was the commander of the Jiangnan Army, and the one in charge of Jiangnan's defense and public security was also the military attache of the fourth grade, and he was at the same level as Gan Tongzhi. And the Qi Changqing that Gan Liqun said is the prefect of Jiangnan, Lord Qi.
That Ren Sanquan listened to Gan Liqun's words, just smiled contemptuously and ignored him, but shouted to the guards behind him, "Come on, bring it up!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, two people carried a stretcher from the car not far away, and the stretcher was covered with a white cloth, so that people could not see what was inside, but it was vaguely visible as a human figure.
The two carried the stretcher and put it at Gan Tongzhi's feet, and Ren Sanquan ordered, "Open it and show it to Lord Gan!" ”
Gan Tongzhi saw their actions, a little confused, and was about to be angry and sarcastic about the other party pretending to be a ghost, but saw a soldier open a section of the white cloth.
When he saw the face exposed under the white cloth, his eyes suddenly widened in shock, he raised his head violently, and pointed at Ren Sanquan with trembling fingers, "Ren Sanquan, you dare to harm my family, I, I don't share the sky with you!" ”
The face that appeared under the white cloth was Aunt Mei's face, and under the white cloth was Aunt Mei's corpse.
Because Aunt Mei's body has been kept in the ice warehouse of the prefect's yamen for the past few days, the body is well preserved, but it is a little shriveled and blue, but it is not difficult to recognize Aunt Mei.
Gan Liqun saw that his beloved concubine was already dead, so he was so angry at this time.
Ren Sanquan didn't pay attention to it, just casually pointed to a subordinate of the Gan family, "Come and have a look, you can recognize this person." ”
The person who was named didn't dare to slack off, walked to the stretcher tremblingly, and when he saw the person on the stretcher, he sat on the ground with a frightened "ah".
Ren Sanquan said to him, "I'll ask you now, what is your name, but Gan Fuxia, you can recognize the person on this stretcher, remember to answer truthfully, and don't hide anything!" ”
His voice was majestic, so frightened that the little guy trembled and knelt on the ground, and replied, "The little one's name is Ganfeng, and he is a descendant of Ganfu. This person is me, I know him, this is my lord's concubine Aunt Mei, and the biological mother of my second young master. However, Aunt Mei has disappeared a few days ago, and recently the family has been looking for her. ”
Ren Sanquan smiled when he heard this, "Very good, Lord Gan, is what your slave Ganfeng said true?" ”
"Hmph, exactly!" Gan Liqun waited for Ren Sanquan to be stunned, and he had already decided that Ren Sanquan had killed Aunt Mei at this time.
"Very good, since you have experienced the right body, then your Gan family is not wronged." Ren Sanquan said.
"Ren Sanquan cares about people's lives, and comes to persecute my Gan family at this time, don't think that I, Gan Liqun, will be frightened by your words and deeds, I will report everything you do at this time to the emperor one by one." Gan Tongzhi scolded Ren Sanquan.
"This Mei clan has committed the great crime of treason by leading people to assassinate the emperor's relatives and nobles, and for many years she has secretly collaborated with the enemy, using the Gan family as a base to collect information about our Great Chu political leaders and privately spread it to the enemy, and has been ambushed for the important leaders of the rebellious forces in Jiangnan. The Gan family has committed a major crime of harboring this fang, and it remains to be investigated whether they conspired with her in rebellion, treason, and collaboration with the enemy. Ren Sanquan and Ren Gan Liqun didn't answer him when they were insulting, but loudly told Aunt Mei's crime, and the voice was heard by the entire street.
When everyone in the Gan family heard that Aunt Mei was actually a great sinner who collaborated with the enemy and treason, they were all frightened and weak, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
Especially the eldest lady and the young lady of the Gan family, the Gu family, already hated Aunt Mei to death at this time, and it was because the Mei family harmed their whole family, how could they be willing, you must know that as long as the Gan family is involved with the crimes that Ren Sanquan said, it will be impossible to recover.
Even the people were frightened, they didn't expect that there were such heinous people in Jinling City, where they lived, and they began to scold Aunt Mei for being a traitor, a traitor, and a fox spirit, and they couldn't wait to spit on her corpse.
Chen Shirong and Gan Yuling, who were in the distance, heard what Ren Sanquan said, and they all sat in the car with a weak ass, and Gan Yuling was so frightened that she almost fainted.
And Chen Shirong read silently, "It's over, it's over, there's no hope!" ”
He originally had a glimmer of hope, thinking that the crime committed by the Gan family may not be big, it is said that Gan Tongzhi also has a powerful eldest brother who is an official in Beijing, and he thought that Lord Gan who came to the capital would definitely find a way to keep the Gan family, but he didn't expect it to be such a crime.
As soon as this charge of treason and rebellion comes out, not to mention whether Lord Gan in the capital can report to the Gan family, even he himself may not be able to protect himself.
So what can he do at this time in order to hug the thighs of the Gan family for so many years, is it all in vain?
Chen Shirong thought well, Gan Liming, the eldest brother of Gan Liqun in the capital, had already been seized by the emperor this morning, resigned, and made him go home to introspect, so he was really himself at this time, and he hated his younger brother in his heart.
And Gan Tongzhi Gan Liqun listened to what Ren Sanquan said about Aunt Mei's crime, looked at Aunt Mei's already blue face and the deep wound on her neck, and shouted in his mouth, "Impossible, impossible, it is you who set up a name, this is a trumped-up crime!" There's no way a woman from the Mei family would do such a thing. ”
"There is no doubt that the crime committed by the Mei family has been determined, and the human and material evidence is complete, but it is not that you say yes or not." Ren Sanquan said.
And after Gan Yulin saw his mother, he cried and called his mother. But he was held down by two soldiers.
Ren Sanquan glanced at everyone's expressions, then bowed in the direction of the capital, and then said in a loud voice, "Holy Command, the Gan family kneels to take it!" ”
Hearing this, Gan Liqun was shocked, a little incredulous, he didn't expect that this matter had already alarmed the emperor, and it was also the emperor's personal edict, originally he still held the hope that his eldest brother would save him.
Despite this, he still had to kneel, and when the people of the Gan family saw him kneeling, Mrs. Gan, the young master, and the girls also knelt down one after another.
"Now the Holy Lord's edict is transmitted, Gan Liqun, Gan Yujie, and Gan Yulin are immediately detained pending investigation. The women and children of the Gan family were imprisoned in the Gan family's compound, and they were detained separately, and they were not allowed to communicate with each other, and they were always there! Ren Sanquan stood on the high platform and said loudly with his hands behind his back.
As soon as his voice fell, Gan Liqun shouted, "Wronged, the emperor is wronged, there must be a villain who is making trouble and cruelty to Zhongliang!" ”
"What kind of wrongs does Lord Gan have to say in court when the time comes, and he is also ordered to do things, and he can't help himself!" Then he waved his hand and said, "Come and take it away!" ”
After speaking, he got on the horse first and turned away, not giving Gan Liqun any chance to speak at all.
After he left, an officer in the back made up for it, commanding his subordinates to escort the three men of the Gan family away, and then leaving soldiers to escort the women and children of the Gan family back to the Gan family's compound and assign people to guard them.
After disturbing and tossing for a while, the matter was arranged, and the women and children of the Gan family and the subordinates were escorted back to the courtyard in vain, and the peace at the door of the Gan family was restored, but the only difference was that the gate of the Gan family had been heavily guarded.
After the soldiers were gone, only the soldiers who were left guarding, there were more people on the street, it turned out that people were peeking at this matter in all corners just now, and at this time they were all pointing at the gate of Gan's house, some scolding, some sighing.
I think that the Gan family has been in Jinling for many years, it can be regarded as infinitely beautiful, a wealthy family, and a glamorous slave, but it became a prisoner overnight.
"Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles" The news that the Gan family had committed a big crime spread throughout Jinling City in a short time, and it won't even take a few days to spread all over the entire Jiangnan!
At this time, on the Chen family's carriage hiding in the corner in the distance, Huang San, the coachman of the Chen family who witnessed this qiē, said in shock, "Old, master, what are we doing now?" ”
"What else can I do, do you still have to go to that house to go home, why don't you hurry up and go home for me!" Chen Shirong said as he closed the car window with a frustrated "snap".
After that, in the carriage of the Chen family, I could only see Chen Shirong, whose face was extremely ugly, Gan Yuling, who was choked in the corner and didn't dare to make a sound, and the maid who was so frightened that she kept bowing her head and didn't dare to raise her head and shrank beside Gan Yuling.
When Chen Shirong's carriage arrived at Chen's house, Chen Shirong didn't even care about Gan Yuling, a pregnant woman, so he got out of the carriage first and went in, and Gan Yuling had to get out of the carriage trembling with the support of the maid.
However, because both of them were too frightened, they were so frightened that they couldn't get out of the carriage for a long time, so they still took Huang San to look pitiful and took the handle to get the two of them down.
And coincidentally, when Chen Shirong was about to enter the door, he saw his mother and his sister-in-law going out together, and it seemed that they were going out to shop.
The two walked out with the maid talking and laughing, and when they saw Chen Shirong walking into the door with an ugly face, they were both stunned, and Chen's mother asked, "Erlang, didn't you take your daughter-in-law back to the door, why did you come back so early?" ”
At this time, Gan Yuling was also supported by the maid and walked in, Chen's mother and Chen's sister-in-law Xiaohua saw Gan Yuling who walked in behind them smiled, they were very satisfied with this daughter-in-law (younger sister).
Because of Gan Yuling's status as the daughter of an official eunuch, Chen's mother has a very long face among relatives and friends, and Xiaohua's is because Gan Yuling has agreed to introduce his son to Jinling Academy to study.
So when they saw Gan Yuling walking in, both of them greeted each other with smiles. But when Gan Yulingti raised her head, the two of them were shocked when they saw her red and swollen cheeks and eyes.
Mother Chen hurriedly went over to support Gan Yuling, and asked distressedly, "Ling'er, what's wrong with you, what grievances have you suffered and tell your mother, you are still pregnant, can't you be angry!" ”
Chen's sister-in-law, Xiaohua, also came over and said, "Yes, brother and sister, what's wrong with you, didn't you go to your mother's house to return to the door, why did you come back so early?" ”
When Gan Yuling heard them mention her mother's family, she felt even more uncomfortable and scared, and she actually cried.
Chen Shirong, who was walking in front, saw her crying at the gate, and immediately felt dazzling, and yelled inside, "Come on, bring her in for me, put her in the north courtyard to give birth, and after giving birth to the child, she is not allowed to come out." ”
Gan Yuling was taken aback when she heard this, the north courtyard was the most desolate and remote courtyard in the house, how could she live as a pregnant woman, "Brother Rong, you can't do this to me when I'm pregnant with a child, Brother Rong!" Gan Yuling pleaded.
"Hmph, don't treat you like this, how can I treat you, now it's for the sake of this child, I will keep you, otherwise I would have sent you back to the Gan family a long time ago, with your identity, I can still keep you in my Chen family, you already have to be grateful to Dade!" After Chen Shirong finished speaking, he pointed to the housekeeper and asked them to take Gan Yuling away.
Gan Yuling kept crying and pleading, and begged Chen's mother and Chen's sister-in-law, "Mother, sister-in-law, you help me beg Brother Rong, the child in my belly is the seed of the Chen family!" ”
Chen's mother and sister-in-law Chen were also stunned when they saw it, and sister-in-law Chen said, "I said second brother, my brother and sister are still pregnant with a child, how can I let her live in the cold and simple north courtyard!" The sister-in-law of the Chen family also persuaded.
Chen's mother also hurriedly said, "Erlang, what are you doing here, what do you have to say, how good is it for you to let your in-laws know like this!" ”
Not to mention that the in-laws are okay, as soon as he talks about the in-laws, Chen Shirong suddenly became angry, but at this time, the door was open, and there were already many people watching the excitement outside, pointing and pointing, and he was not good at getting angry in public, letting people watch the play, so he had to say to the porter, "What are you still doing in a daze, don't hurry up and close the door for me!" ”
The porter was startled, the most elegant and kind old man is usually what's wrong today, but he still didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to close the door.
Mother Chen saw that the door was about to be closed, so she hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, don't close the door, I have to go out with your sister-in-law, I made a set of faces in the silver building and said that I will go to pick it up today!" ”
"What are you going to do, I've been staying at home for a while and can't go anywhere!" After speaking, Chen Shirong threw up his sleeves with a dark face and left.
Chen's mother was hit by her son like this, and suddenly it was difficult to get out of her evil breath, "This unfilial son, what's wrong with me going out to get a face, as for being so anxious, how can I talk to my mother?" ”
But Chen Shirong had already ignored them, and he didn't know how to do it, so he walked straight in.
At this time, Chen's mother and Chen's sister-in-law didn't go out, and they didn't go out, and looked at Gan Yuling, who had been crying, and was upset, Chen's mother said impatiently, "I said Ling'er, what are you crying about, what happened, why is Erlang so angry?" ”
She can see that something must have happened to the two of them when they went out, isn't it that the Gan family is not well entertained! If that's the case, she, who is a mother-in-law, has to talk about this daughter-in-law, and she doesn't know how to give her husband a long face!
How could Gan Yuling tell her mother's affairs, she couldn't wait to hide it from everyone, so she didn't answer, just cried blindly.
Mother Chen couldn't help but point at the maid and said, "You say, what's going on, how did this happy day become like this?" ”
That girl is Gan Yuling's dowry girl, she is actually a member of the Gan family, so she didn't dare to say today's things for her master and servant, and she was only frightened in the car today, and she really didn't know much, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing that the master and servant didn't speak, Chen's mother and her heart became even more anxious, and they happened to see Huang San, the coachman who went out with them today, and shouted, "Huang San, you went out with Erlang and their husband and wife today, you tell me what's wrong?" ”
That Huang San can be said to be the person who watched the most carefully and clearly outside the carriage today, and he saw this kind of big scene today, and he had nowhere to say anything, and when he heard Chen's mother ask, he threw away the horsewhip and hurriedly stepped forward.
He told the story like this.
And it is very specific how vicious those soldiers are, how wolf the Nagan family is, and how Nagan Tongzhi became a prisoner, and then how big, vicious and rampant Aunt Mei's crime is, and how much Chen's mother and sister-in-law Chen are stunned, as if they are there.
When the two of them heard that the Gan family had committed the great crime of rebellion, treason, and collaborating with the enemy, they were really frightened and couldn't help but start trembling.
Mother Chen and sister-in-law Chen looked at Gan Yuling, and their eyes slowly changed from smiling at the beginning to deep hatred, as if she was a piece of stinky meat that would spoil their pot of good soup.
And Sister-in-law Chen was holding Gan Yuling's hand, and she shook her off at once, as if she was afraid that she would be implicated herself.
"In this way, Yang'er can't go to Jinling Academy this time, oops, this Gan family actually did such a rebellious thing, delaying my Yang'er's studies, it really should be cut by a thousand cuts!" Sister-in-law Chen exclaimed.
The emperor's dictation is also the crime of the Gan family to be investigated, but from her mouth, it seems that the Gan family has been convicted. And she didn't care about the life or death of the Gan family, she actually thought about his son's study first, which was really cool enough.
After listening to Huang San's narration, Mother Chen said with a look of disapproval and displeasure, "Erlang is too, why is she so ignorant, she should have been handed over to those military masters at that time, why did she bring it back, isn't this a disaster for the family?" ”
Chen's mother turned out to be more ruthless than Chen Shirong, and she wanted to throw Gan Yuling back to the Gan family, and she didn't even want the Chen family's child in her belly.
Gan Yuling and her girl were taken aback when they heard this, if they were sent back to the Gan family at this time, it would be more auspicious, so they hurriedly begged, "Mother, mother, I have Brother Rong's child in my belly, this is Brother Rong's first child, mother, for the sake of the child, you can't do this!" ”
Mother Chen looked at Gan Yuling's stomach and thought about it, if this child is a man, then he is also the descendant of Erlang, this Erlang is so old and has no queen, it is all because the surname Du can't give birth, which delays my Erlang.
Thinking of your child, she thought about leaving Gan Yuling to give birth to the child first, and then if she gave birth to a boy, she would leave the child and drive Gan Yuling away, if it was a girl, she would drive both of them away, and save her family trouble. R1152
