Chapter 78: Passing the buck
Because of Hu Yiyi's previous declaration, many people in the capital are very concerned about this, and even some people are waiting at the door of Dali Temple to wait for the result.
There is nothing to try in this case, Hu Yi is ready for everything, and he doesn't even owe the Song family, and Wei Jin is his own person, so the trial went very smoothly.
Hu Xiuyao naturally pushed the matter on the head of the Song family, and after Hu Yi took out the prescription, Hu Xiuyao also found a witness to prove that the prescription was something from the Song family in the past, which belonged to the Song family and had nothing to do with him.
"There is no grievance between me and my sister-in-law, what should I do to her?! But the Song family is different, the Song family has always been jealous of the sister-in-law, thinking that the sister-in-law is just a merchant girl, but she can marry the eldest brother and a general, and she was obviously born into a famous family, but she can only marry me, so she poisoned the sister-in-law! Hu Xiuyao took the initiative to find a motive for the Song family.
How else would it be the person who knows you best or the person next to you? It's just that I didn't expect that this understanding would eventually become a sharp blade, stabbing each other's lifeblood, and the relationship between husband and wife was cut in two.
Hu Xiuyao is ruthless, and the Song family will only be more ruthless than him.
"You really don't have a grudge with your sister-in-law, but you have a relationship with your eldest brother! Since you were a child, you have been jealous of the identity of the eldest brother's original concubine, and you are jealous of the eldest brother's attention from the old general, so you have always hated the eldest brother, and the death of the eldest brother is also related to you, if you didn't plant a spy next to the eldest brother, how could the eldest brother die in battle! Song showed a treacherous smile, and Hu Xiuyao was frightened, "The eldest brother is dead, and the only ones left in the long house are orphans and widows, and you didn't want to do anything to them, but although the sister-in-law was sick, so you simply pushed the boat down the river, killed the sister-in-law, and got rid of the two children in the long house in the future, everything in the Hu family is yours!" It's a pity that the sky has eyes, and the two children in the long room are angry, and they can't do what you want! ”
As soon as Song's words came out, everyone was shocked.
Gu Wenmin is just a woman in the house, her life and death are just a drop in the ocean for Dayan, but Hu Xiuyuan is different, Hu Xiuyuan is a general who can lead millions of troops to fight in the south and the north to protect the peace of Dayan, and his death is not trivial for Dayan.
This is the purpose of Hu Yiyi to find the Song family.
Just one Hu Xiuyao, even if he didn't rely on the Song family, Hu Yiyi would not let him escape, so it was not worth her to let the Song family go, she found the Song family in order to use the Song family to involve Hu Xiuyuan's death.
Hu Xiuyuan's death has something to do with Hu Xiuyao, but Hu Xiuyao did things for Ye Wuxian, so could Hu Xiuyao have been instructed by Ye Wuxian to assassinate Hu Xiuyuan? A little deeper, does Hu Xiuyuan's death have anything to do with the royal family's ulterior intentions?
The troupes and storytellers she arranged before are still continuing to sing, continue to say, after a long time, these things will spread farther and farther, and they will also chill the hearts of those generals. 2083
"You talk nonsense! It's just nothing! Hu Xiuyao listened to Song's words, and jumped up directly, it was almost the weather in October, and Hu Xiuyao's forehead was faintly sweating, "The reason for the death of the eldest brother was ambushed by the enemy, and he died at the hands of the enemy, what does it have to do with me!" Besides, do I have any ability to plant a spy next to my big brother? If there were, the eldest brother would have died a long time ago, and I would have to wait for them to grow up before I did it?! ”
Hu Xiuyao pointed to Hu Yiyi, who was standing aside.
"You don't have the ability, there are always people who have the ability!" Song was shocked, because what Hu Xiuyao said was all expected by Hu Yiyi, so Hu Yiyi told her what to say, "You are just an executor!" ”
Song's words shocked everyone again, after all, who Hu Xiuyao was doing things for, everyone couldn't be clearer, just when the people in Dali Temple didn't know whether to stop, lest Song say something more shocking, someone outside reported: "Concubine Xian Niangniang sent someone over!" ”
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, but they were finally interrupted, they didn't have to listen to this kind of secret, so everyone hurriedly greeted the eunuchs sent out from the palace of Concubine Xian.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that Concubine Xian Niangniang heard that the parents of the concubine of King Zhou were sued by those people who are not long-sighted, so I sent our family to take a look, and your Dali Temple should not be tried indiscriminately! Otherwise, when King Zhou came back, he would not be very happy when he heard that Concubine Hu's family had been humiliated. The eunuch's expression was a little arrogant.
The big officials of Dali Temple frowned, Concubine Pei Xian's words were clearly a threat, supporting Hu Xiuyao and the Song family, but this case was ......
"Dali Temple is ......" Wei Jin frowned, and was about to refuse, but he heard a report outside, saying that the queen had sent someone.
"I'm disturbing you, the queen asked our family to apologize to you on her behalf, it was she who didn't take care of the palace, so she let some eye-catching things slip out of the palace to disturb you, and please forgive me! Let's bring him back, so that we won't hinder you from trying the case. ”
As he spoke, he took away the eunuchs in Concubine Pei Xian's palace with an absolutely strong attitude and manpower.
Concubine Pei Xian probably didn't expect that she would be targeted by Queen Hu so soon, so she sent a eunuch, but she was forcibly taken away by the people sent by Queen Hu.
Compared with the arrogant eunuch on Concubine Pei Xian's side, everyone naturally preferred the queen, and invisibly won a wave of favor for Queen Hu.
Concubine Pei Xian and Empress Hu's people came and went in a hurry, but the case still had to continue to be heard.
Hu Xiuyao didn't admit that Hu Xiuyuan and Gu Wenmin's deaths had anything to do with her, and insisted that Hu Xiuyuan was killed in battle, Gu Wenmin was killed by the Song family because of jealousy, and everything had nothing to do with her.
In the end, Hu Yi took the spy who was inserted by Hu Xiuyao to Hu Xiuyuan's side and delivered false news to Hu Xiuyuan, which finally led to Hu Xiuyuan's death.
And the reason why this spy can be found is thanks to the brocade guards under the night tree.
Hu Xiuyao's face turned pale in an instant.
Adhering to the principle that only the dead can keep secrets, Hu Xiuyao naturally wanted to kill the spy, but since Hu Xiuyuan died, the spy also disappeared, Hu Xiuyao sent people to look for it for a long time but did not find it, and finally could only think that the spy died in the hands of the enemy like Hu Xiuyuan.
Who knows, this spy not only did not die, but was also found by Hu Yiyi!
Hu Xiuyao's mind was in chaos for a moment, with this spy here, and the Song family on the side saying that Hu Xiuyuan's death had something to do with him, was he in a catastrophe this time?
But how could Hu Xiuyao be a person who confessed his guilt easily, in the face of the accusation of the spy, a look of indignation that had been framed appeared on his face, and he said angrily: "Who knows where you found such a person to slander me?" It's just a nonsense, if you can find a random person to testify about my crime, then I'll find a witness right now to prove that you killed my eldest brother, isn't it okay?! ”
Looking at Hu Xiuyao's righteous and stern appearance, Hu Yiyi chuckled, and spit out a sentence with coldness in his eyes: "The third uncle really doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin!" ”
Then, Hu Yiyi got the generals who fought with Hu Xiuyuan, they could prove that the spy was indeed a close confidant of Hu Xiuyuan at that time, and it was indeed he who passed on false information at that time, which caused Hu Xiuyuan to be ambushed by the enemy, and he couldn't wait for reinforcements, and finally died on the battlefield.
"We originally thought that all this was a conspiracy of the enemy army, and even he was deceived by the enemy, but only now do we know that it is all because of him!" An old general trembled and pointed at the spy and said bitterly.
The spy looked numb, and in the face of the old general's accusation, he happily admitted it: "That's right, it's all because of me, but I was also forced, my family is in the hands of Master Hu San, if General Xie doesn't die, it's my family who dies, I have no choice." ”
"Then how did you disappear after that?" Hu Yi looked at the spy as if he were looking at a dead man.
"I know that even if General Xie dies, with Master Hu's ruthless temperament, he will not let me go, so I simply ran away after that battle, so that Master Hu San thought that I had died in battle, only in this way will he rest assured and will be merciful and let my family go."
Since Jin Yiwei found the spy, he can naturally find the spy's family, so they can also testify that they were indeed threatened by Hu Xiuyao back then, and they were locked up by Hu Xiuyao, and they were not released until they heard that the spy died in battle, but Hu Xiuyao has been sending people to keep an eye on them since then.
Then Hu Yiyi pushed Yang's mother's family out again, and they could prove that it was Hu Xiuyao who asked them to tie up the spy family.
In this way, Hu Xiuyao's murder of Hu Xiuyuan is almost conclusive and irrefutable.
At this time, Hu Xiuyao's murder of Gu Wenmin was no longer so important, and the difference between horizontal and vertical was just whether Hu Xiuyao had one life or two lives.
Because Hu Yiyi provided a lot of evidence, if there was no accident, it would be almost impossible for Hu Xiuyao to get away with the crime, so Hu Xiuyao and the Song family were both imprisoned, of course, there was also the spy who was imprisoned together, no matter what Hu Xiuyao and the Song family were, the spy was going to die.
Just wait for the Dali Temple to send someone to verify the evidence provided by Hu Yiyi and the testimony of those witnesses, and the case can be closed.
When the hall opened again, Hu Yiyi asked Yang's mother's family and Lian Xia to tell them all the evil things they knew about Hu Xiuyao and the Song family in the court.
From Hu Xiuyao killing Hu Xiuyuan, to later killing Gu Wenmin, buying Hu Yiyi's nurse Yuan Mother and maid Jin Yue, wanting to raise Hu Yiyi, and then wanting to marry Zhao Rou to Hu Zichen in order to control Hu Zichen, and then Hu Xiuyao used the relationship of the court to get Hu Zichen on the battlefield, and wanted to concoct it like Hu Xiuyuan, killing Hu Zichen like killing Hu Xiuyuan, but unfortunately Hu Zichen had already taken precautions, so he dodged it, and then he used Yuan's mother to directly kill Hu Yiyi, so there were piles of things, They were all told one by one by Hu Yiyi.
No one doubts the truth of these things, after all, the evidence and witnesses provided by Hu Yiyi are very sufficient, and even the second room can testify one or two, but Hu Xiuyao refused to admit it, whether it was plotting to kill Hu Xiuyuan and Gu Wenmin, or raising Hu Yiyi and wanting to harm Hu Zichen, he did not admit it.
In the end, Hu Yiyi called Su Qinghuan and made her the last straw that crushed Hu Xiuyao.
"The old man once got drunk, and mentioned it to the people's women, saying that he has not slept well all these years, and it is always easy to dream of General Xie when he is asleep, and the people's women thought that the old man and General Xie had a deep brotherhood, but the old man revealed to the people's women that the reason why he dreamed of General Xie was because General Xie's death had something to do with him, and he was afraid that General Xie would turn into a ghost and come to him, so he ......" Su Qinghuan shrank for a moment, as if she was very scared.
