Chapter 51 is over
Chiang remained silent. When she was still imprisoned in the old house of the Zhao family in Fengxian, she also made trouble and cried, but when she set off to return to Beijing, she seemed to have accepted her fate, and she was just in a daze every day, almost not saying a word.
Qin Cha was anxious to know the murderer's situation from her, and when he saw her so uncooperative, he was also a little annoyed, so he no longer showed mercy at all, and rushed back to Beijing as quickly as possible, turning her dizzy, and the whole person lost weight twice. After arriving in Beijing, she was quickly sent to the prison of Dali Temple. It is in itself an insult for a female dependant of her status to be put in a cell in the worst conditions and to be with grassroots female prisoners who have committed serious crimes.
The latest development of the situation, Qin Cha had already sent someone to send a letter back to Beijing in advance, so the Zhao family had already known about the changes in An Zaiqing. learned that Zhao Zhuo and his wife died, initially because the Jiang family had the intention of harming him, and Zhao Jue didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
The joy is that the Jiang family is not the flesh and blood of the Zhao family, her evil deeds have nothing to do with the descendants of the Zhao family, as long as he divorces this wife, he can exonerate his father and son, and this title may be able to come back. Niu also thought so, if Zhao Jiong did not instruct someone to kill his mother and brother, his crime would not be established, and she would still be the honorable Mrs. Jiannanhou. She can't wait to work with her son to overturn the case.
Their mother and son forgot about the innocent servants and boatmen who died in the icy river like Zhao Zhuo, and also forgot that the reason why Zhao Zhuo and his wife died was because Zhao Jiong did not save them, not because the people sent by the Jiang family cut them with knives, and only thought that as long as the Jiang family sacrificed the Jiang family, the whole family would be saved, so they didn't care about the Jiang family in the prison at all
It's not that Zhao Jue is too ruthless to Yuan's wife. He learned that the death of his youngest son was related to his eldest son, and he also lost his temper. But I never thought of sacrificing this child, after all, the weight of the eldest son is not comparable to that of a concubine. But Jiang admitted the matter. It is equivalent to ruining the child's reputation and future, and there is no room for turning around at all, and what he hates most about his wife is that she said such things, allowing outsiders to take the handle.
That's when something strange happened. Zhao Jue called his eldest son, Zhao Ze, to ask him if the killing of his brother was true, but Zhao Ze knew nothing. He had a fever after his brother-in-law's death, and he forgot all the things he had done at that time, and what he remembered in his mind was completely instilled in Chiang afterwards, so he replied to his father: "My son wants to see my brother." Who knew that he would not move at all, and his grandfather's ghost was standing on the side, so terrible, that his son ran out in fright. β
Zhao Lao Jungong appeared in his hometown and punished his eldest son who was unfilial, and this matter has spread to the capital. Zhao Jue actually didn't believe it, but even King Guangping said so, so he had to shut up, but he was very disapprehensive in his heart. But now when he heard his son's words, his face changed. recalled that after the death of the concubine, there was indeed a statement in the Hou Mansion that the grandfather wanted to see the little grandson he had never seen before his death, so he took the child away. He didn't believe it at the time, but now that he wants to come, I'm afraid it's groundless. Not necessarily without cause. It turned out that the old man had manifested his spirit so early, and he could be ruthless to his children and grandchildren. No wonder the old man would watch his father fall from his horse, in comparison. Sister Xiu on the other side of the second room has been protected by the old man, is the people's heart really biased?
After Zhao Jue was angry, he turned back to his son's matter, thinking that the eldest son was only six years old and could not lie, and looking at his eyes, he was also telling the truth, it can be seen that the rumors of Zhao Ze killing his brother are false, and Jiang actually admitted that his son had not done anything, which was really stupid! Maybe she killed the child, and she planted the blame on her son in order to escape the crime, which is really heartbreaking! Zhao Jue's resentment towards Yuan's wife deepened, and he hated to divorce her as soon as possible.
Who knew that the Jiang family somehow got the letter early, and the Jiang family's father and brothers rushed to the Zhao family to discuss the matter, and they resolutely refused to admit that the Jiang family would do such an evil thing, she must have been framed. The Jiang family has never had a daughter who was divorced, let alone a daughter who was sentenced for violating national law. For the sake of the reputation of the Jiang family's eunuchs for generations, they absolutely cannot accept that their daughter was pushed out by the Zhao family to block arrows. Anyway, Zhao Jiong had already been convicted, why should he sacrifice the daughter of their Jiang family in order to overturn the case for him?
The Niu family and Zhao Jue wanted to protect Zhao Jiong, and the Jiang family wanted to protect the Jiang family, and the two sides were deadlocked.
At this time, the news that Zhao Jiong was drowned came again.
Niu's suffered a big blow, and her husband died, which means that even if she overturns the case for him, she will not be able to restore her original noble status. And Zhao Jue was also shaken, his father was dead, did he really want to sacrifice another wife? The Jiang family has just put forward a lot of favorable conditions, and Tian Shangshu is helping to say that the Jiang family's huge team of relatives and in-laws and connections have been favored by King Ying - as long as there are benefits, in fact, he can't put up with the Jiang family for a few more years, and it's a big deal to let her "die of illness" when the rumors pass......
In the end, the Zhao family's small Changfang insisted on the original statement, it was Zhao Jiong who harmed the people, Jiang didn't know, what she said in Fengxian was completely because she was crazy, or she was framed by Zhang's design, and the Qincha and others at the scene at that time were all blinded by Zhang.
As soon as Jiang and Hong Aya entered Beijing, they retracted their confessions overnight, and put forward completely different statements, implying that they were actually wronged, and that the Qin Cha conspired with the Zhang family and forced them to frame a crime, and some people sued the Qin Cha for accepting an unknown huge amount of property, and even the human and physical evidence was "complete". As for the Qing Yan and others who confessed the truth of the matter, some people in the small long house collected a bunch of so-called evidence to prove that they had reasons to resent their masters, and even their relatives came forward to prove this, and directly condemned them as sinners who "committed perjury to the master's family because of personal grudges".
This makes Dali Temple very passive, the murderous nursing home has not been caught so far, they want to convict the Jiang family, a lot of Cheng DΓΉ relies on the confessions of these slaves, they all retract their confessions, how can the case be judged? Although they later found out that Jiang's cousin was an official in Dali Temple, it was very likely that they privately arranged for Jiang's family to meet Jiang and Hongyan and confess with them, but there was no evidence to prove this. In addition to demoting the Jiang family's cousin from Dali Temple, they had no way to take the Jiang family.
The messenger had been demoted for corruption, and the Chiang family had several sons who were proficient in the law. actually saved the Jiang family. At this time, Dali Siqing accidentally fell from his horse and injured his leg. He had to recuperate for a few months, and the position was temporarily taken over by a young secretary. I don't know how the Jiang family used to trap this person. He actually reported to the emperor that the Jiang family was not guilty, but he did not admit the crime because he was framed by the Zhang family, but was killed by the evil slave, and he lost his mind and went crazy. The reason is that Zhao Jueyan said that the death of the youngest son was caused by the negligence of the nanny, and had nothing to do with the eldest son, the Jiang family had no reason to kill, and the so-called murder nursing home never showed his face in front of people, and the Zhao family had no impression of him at all. In fact, he is a fictitious person, and the knife marks on the corpse are just coincidences that don't prove anything. On the contrary, Zhao Jiong's dislike for his stepmother and brother is almost known to the whole family, and he took the initiative to propose Fuling to go south, and he did not save him when he saw death after capsizing, and sent someone to kill him afterwards, and it was also the order of all the servants present who looked at Zhao Jiong, and the evidence was conclusive. Nothing wronged.
They thought that in this way, they could put all the blame on the dead Zhao Jiong, but how could things be as they wanted?
Although the emperor withheld Zhang's letters to several military generals in Beijing, the guards and attendants brought by the king of Guangping to the south still leaked Zhao Jiong's actions. The Zhenjiang General Army received Zhang's letter and also sent someone to Fengxian to inquire about the news. After confirming the truth of what she said in the letter, she quickly sent a letter to several old comrades, so the old subordinates of Zhao Laojun Gong. They all learned the truth about Zhao Jiong's killing of his brother one after another, and now they see that the Zhao family actually put all the charges on the dead Zhao Jiong in order to protect the Jiang family. I was very angry. Even if Zhao Jiong is guilty, his wife, son, and daughter-in-law can't do such a thing. When they didn't know the truth before. He also said good things about the Zhao family, but now they have changed their minds, and they don't want to pay attention to his family, let alone intercede for them.
Some of them had other intentions and tentatively said to their comrades: "Is it the flesh and blood of the county grandfather, do you want to see them lose their titles?" Everyone didn't agree in the slightest: "The county grandfather still has a grandson, and he will not be extinct, this kind of disloyalty, filial piety, and unfilial things, let them die, and it will save the lintel of the county grandfather's house!" The man was afraid that if he persuaded him again, he would arouse suspicion, so he had to laugh and shut up and stop mentioning the matter.
The reason why King Ying is obsessed with the small long house of the Zhao family is to control the old departments of these county lords through the small long house of the Zhao family, so as to master the strength of the army. Now the old department of the county grandfather sneered at Zhao Jiong's family, the Zhao family's small long house was useless, and if they continued to entangle, they would only expose themselves, so they quietly gave up.
Xiao Changfang can support until now, in fact, it is all supported by King Ying and the Jiang family in the back, as soon as King Ying stops, the Jiang family is unable to support it alone, and they focus on saving their daughter. The emperor noticed his brother's movements, although he was a little unwilling, but he still accepted the facts, admitting that the arrangement of the Zhao family's small long room could no longer work, and he quickly dealt with the Zhao family's small long room.
The Jiang family deliberately wanted to implicate the Zhang family in the matter, and the emperor was disgusted with what they had done, and decided that he would never reuse the children of the Jiang family in the future, and even the position of the second uncle of the Jiang family had found a reason to make it up, as for whether there would be disagreements within the Jiang family, it was not his business. Anyway, the case hasn't been closed for a day, so Jiang will stay in prison for a day.
As for the title of the Zhao family's small long house, it was completely lost, and the emperor ruled out the possibility of them attacking the lord in his will, and ordered them to move out of the Hou Mansion within ten days. Zhao Jue lost all his errands, and the female relatives ordered it to be recovered, and the imperial property, general property, and servants that originally belonged to the Jiannan Marquis Mansion were all temporarily sealed, and all they could take away was the private property of the small long house and the dowry of the Niu family and the Jiang family. On the day he moved out of the Hou Mansion, the Niu family took several grandchildren, Zhao Jue had no horse to ride and had to walk on two legs, and the family left the original luxurious residence miserably, without even a relative to see them off.
The Jiang family tried their best to sacrifice the official positions of several children in the clan, and failed to get the Jiang family out of prison. Fortunately, if she is not convicted for a day, then she can't be considered a sinner for a day, and the Jiang family can still deceive themselves. But her father and brother were exhausted in order to suppress the family's dissatisfaction, and they really couldn't do more. Zhao Jue refused to save his wife again, and even Zhao Ze and Zhao Xiang, who were born to her, were disgusted and left to her mother Niu to take care of. They rented a small house in the capital to live, and Zhao Jue began to visit relatives and friends everywhere, throwing money everywhere, wanting to find an errand.
The remains of Zhao Jiong, who were sent to the capital, were finally hastily hidden in a very remote place on the mountain behind the Zhao family temple on the outskirts of the city. Zhao Jue's energy was focused on finding errands, and he didn't pay much attention to the aftermath of his deceased father, and he didn't send anyone to the grave during the New Year. Relatives and friends feel that they can't see it, no matter how serious Zhao Jiong's crime is, he is still Zhao Jue's biological father, why is Zhao Jue dizzy, and he doesn't even care about filial piety?
There is also the Niu family, in order to marry Zhao Jiong, it can be regarded as a free offering, and he doesn't even care about his name, but now he will give up. No matter how bad Zhao Jiong is, there is no place to be sorry for her, and it is rumored that because she listened to her slander, she would poison her stepmother and brother, and when something happened, she was clear. Such a vicious woman is really rare, and it is no wonder that she would raise an unfilial son like Zhao Jue.
There are fewer people who are willing to help Xiao Changfang, but there is an old department of Zhao Laojun's grandfather, and I don't know what psychology he had, so he got Zhao Jue a position for the nine-grade inspection of the county near Jinzhou. This kind of sesame mung bean official, still at the border, is the life of cannon fodder, Zhao Jue never looked down on him in the past, but he happily packed his luggage and prepared to go on the road.
The people on the emperor's side have quickly set their eyes on the old department of the county lord.
After listening to Lu Yunpeng's account of the development of the case, Zhang was silent for a long time.
The emperor did not issue an order for Zhao Wei to attack the knight, but King Guangping said that when Zhao Wei was a few years older, the will would come down. But the Zhang family no longer cares about this matter, Xiao Changfang has made the family into this fate for the title of Marquis of Jiannan, which shows that this is a bane.
She said: "Brother Wei is still young, don't worry about the title, we will obey the emperor's will, thank His Royal Highness King Guangping for me, please don't worry about this matter anymore, our ancestors and grandchildren are living a quiet life now, but they are also comfortable." β
Lu Yunpeng was stunned, and then respectfully retreated.
Zhang's long sigh and smiled at the grandchildren who came out to peek inside: "Okay, the case is over temporarily, and if Xiao Changfang has such an end, it can be regarded as retribution." In the future, we don't have to pay attention to that side, we just have to live our own lives. β
Zhao Xiu blinked, revealing a bright smile, Zhao Wei asked loudly: "Grandmother, Lu Xiaoer told me, the day after tomorrow, there is a temple fair in Tuolin, shall we go to see it?" (To be continued......)
