65. Yun'er, I'm back
The truth has been revealed, and everyone present blushes a little.
The third lady Li came out with a smile on her face and took Ruan Qingzhi's hand: "Okay, okay, I know that our eldest girl has been wronged!" The third aunt was frightened by the snake just now and didn't stand up to defend you, you are not allowed to hold a grudge! ”
Her steps were paved very well, and a large number of people immediately echoed them, all saying that they didn't believe Ruan Qingzhi, but they were frightened and confused by the strange things one after another and didn't react.
Ruan Qingzhi looked back at Ruan Wenzhong and the monk who had been blocked by the little guys, and smiled.
The old lady coughed and returned to the main seat and sat down, looked at Ruan Qingzhi and asked, "You mean, you guessed last night that something would happen at today's birthday banquet?" ”
Ruan Qingzhi nodded calmly: "I don't believe that there was such a coincidental accident, and I don't believe that they went to great lengths to burn down my mother's mourning hall, just to call me out and shout and reprimand." So I had already concluded that something must be going on today, and it must be directed against me. ”
The old lady frowned, as if she wanted to look back at Ruan Biyun, but in the end she didn't, just let out a long sigh: "Maybe you are too careful." ”
"Yes," Ruan Qingzhi smiled, "Grandmother has concluded that this incident was an accident last night, so it would be better to treat it as an accident." It has nothing to do with conspiracy, and it has nothing to do with evil. ”
The old lady nodded: "That was an accident. ”
Ruan Qingzhi smiled, looked back at Ruan Biyun, who was pale, and pinched her face with pity: "Poor child, are you also frightened?" ”
"Sister, I knew you weren't a demon......" Ruan Biyun wiped her tears.
Next to him, Wang Yuyao sneered: "Don't say it too early." Whether a demon is a demon or not, it can't be proved by this kind of trick! Even if that girl touches the birthday gift box, what can it mean? ”
Ruan Qingzhi's gaze moved to her, still with a smile: "I originally thought that this was my family's business, and there was no need to interrogate it in front of the guests. Why did Fourth Sister Wang mean that I would interrogate that girl in public, and ask her who was the mastermind behind her, who gave her the courage to sneak into the inner room, and who found her the Lingnan two-headed snake? ”
If that's the case, something will come to light.
Miss Wang Si received Ruan Qingzhi's threat, and she felt a chill in her heart, and instinctively shook her head.
Another unknown young lady next to him screamed: "Even if the matter of the White Snake has nothing to do with you, it can't be said that you are not a demon, right?" How do you explain the drink? Could it be that there is a second person in the Prime Minister's Mansion who is a demon besides you? ”
Ruan Qingzhi sneered and was about to argue, when a loud shout sounded outside the door: "The matter of wine, I don't need my young lady to explain!" ”
It's a cold night.
He was followed by the second master, the third master and several distinguished guests. The first two little guys each carried a few wine jars and hurried all the way.
When the female guests saw those wine jars, they remembered the "stinky water" that the little maid said, and hurriedly pushed each other back.
Ye Han perfunctorily saluted Ruan Wenzhong and said, "Master, the matter of the drink has been clarified!" ”
Without waiting for Ruan Wenzhong's reaction, he had already taken a wine jar and showed it to the old lady and everyone, and at the same time explained: "The sealing mud of this wine jar is indeed good, and the altar body looks intact. But since it is a man-made thing, there must be traces, so I have carefully checked with a few masters and have found the problem. ”
He held the wine jar and showed it to everyone, then pinched the corner of the paper stick on the altar and gently tore it off.
Xiaomei, who was the closest, immediately let out an exclamation.
A few people next to him also quickly saw it: after the paper stick was torn, the exposed altar body was not smooth, and the concave and convex underneath was not fine pottery, but it looked like a ...... Clay.
It was a hole in the original fine pottery jar that was broken and then patched with clay!
Everyone was shocked and then furious, and without waiting for the old lady or others to command, two maidservants immediately took the remaining wine jars from the hands of the little maid, and tore all the paper sticks.
Without exception, all the undersides of the paper are "patched".
Just because the paper sticks are glued to the sake jar with paste, it is uneven, so even if there is a little abnormality, no one will pay attention.
The people who drink in the front hall are all old men, and there are no naughty children, and of course no one has nothing to do to tear the paper sticks on the wine jar to play.
Of course, after the wine turns into stinky water, it will still arouse suspicion, but when this strange incident is put together with the rest, everyone will immediately think of the "evil spirit" to go up, and it is too late to rush to subdue the demon and eliminate the evil, who has the time to check the wine jar?
Maybe that's what the people who did it did, but things didn't go the way they expected. First, the "demon" made a lot of noise in Chunhui Courtyard to investigate the case and clear his suspicions, and then another daring slave who did not look like a slave broke into the front hall, pressing the heads of the little guys and forcing them to inspect the wine jar in detail like embroidery.
So the truth can no longer be hidden.
There is nothing evil at work. It's just that someone broke the wine jar and replaced the wine with swill, or someone who wants to mislead everyone and make everyone believe that there is a demon in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Therefore, things can be reversed: in the prime minister's mansion at this time, there are indeed no demons.
Even if there is, the demon can't be Miss Ruan.
Because Miss Ruan is being framed and wronged.
This is something that everyone present has figured out in an instant, and it is much clearer than after the two-headed snake incident was exposed just now.
Ye Han turned around and saluted Ruan Qingzhi: "Miss, you have been wronged. ”
Ruan Qingzhi smiled on his face and looked at him: "Ye Han, you have grown your skills." ”
Ye Han's face was covered by a mask and he couldn't see his expression, but his voice was more relaxed and happy than usual: "I've always been very capable, but Miss refuses to give me a chance to perform." ”
At this time, everyone had come back to their senses, and Chunhui Courtyard suddenly became noisy.
Some people scolded the tricksters for doing things in private, some people reminded the old lady and Ruan Wenzhong that they must investigate thoroughly, and more people gathered around Ruan Qingzhi and expressed their comfort and closeness to her.
Ruan Qingzhi responded with a smile on the corner of her lips, and did not have any mustard because these people just treated her as a demon and shouted and killed.
"Demons deserve to die, and I'm not demons." She looked at Ruan Biyun with a smile: "Did you say?" ”
Ruan Biyun's face turned slightly pale, and her smile was very sincere: "Sister is right. Yun'er has always believed that her sister is innocent. ”
Ruan Qingzhi nodded and hugged her shoulders affectionately: "So God is still on my side." Yun'er, are you happy? ”
Ruan Biyun didn't answer, just lowered her eyes slightly, her face was pale and pitiful.
At this time, the second master and the third master were already instructing the servants to buy wine again, and were ready to go back to the front hall to reopen the feast.
The grandmother in Chunhui Courtyard also began to persuade the ladies and ladies to take a seat, and apologized in every possible way for today's several bad things, and the atmosphere gradually returned to a little festive.
It's just that there are still a few chores that haven't been taken care of.
The old lady looked at the uninvited "monk" with a gloomy face, and the servant girl who had already been tied up with a few mouths.
Not all of them are from their own family, so they can't be lynched.
And......
The old lady's gaze moved to the second master's body, and she ordered in a deep voice: "You send these two people to the Jingzhao Yamen, let them have a good trial, and see who wants to abuse our Ruan family in every way!" ”
The second old man bowed respectfully and agreed, but Ruan Wenzhong stepped forward and showed a look of embarrassment: "Mother, it's past noon at this moment, it's better to wait for the birthday banquet to end." ”
The old lady looked at him, and her face sank: "What, I still ordered my son not to move?" ”
The second old man hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Let's go", but Ruan Wenzhong stopped him again and said, "The second brother has a rare opportunity to participate in such an occasion, why don't you let him go back to drink, and I will send this thief to the yamen?" ”
"Do you think it's appropriate?" The old lady asked rhetorically.
You are the head of the family of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are the prime minister of the dynasty, and the officials who came to congratulate you in the front hall are all coming for you, you are not there, is it appropriate?
Of course, Ruan Van Trung knew that it was not suitable, so his cold sweat came down.
The current situation is not easy to solve!
When the stalemate was in place, the monk suddenly spoke again: "Old Madam Ruan wants to send the poor monk to see the official?" The poor monk has not committed any offense, and the Ruan family can't bully people like this! ”
Before the old lady could speak, the guests in the hall had already screamed: "You still say that you have not committed a crime? Isn't it you who bewitched the public and slandered Miss Ruan? Thou art thou art instructed to stir up trouble, and whom shall thou be blind? ”
"No," the monk looked innocent, "Miss Ruan is a bad star, this is known to the world, of course something happened in the house is because of her, how could the poor monk say something wrong?" ”
The two mothers-in-law of Chunhui Courtyard rushed towards him with brooms: "Still quibbling!" ”
To deal with this kind of scoundrel, you should use a powerful one, whether he sends the official or not, he will be beaten first!
The monk was restrained by the servants and could not run around, screamed and received a few brooms, and shouted, "If you beat me to death, I still dare to say this!" From the very beginning, I just said that sooner or later something will happen if the government does not suppress evil, but you said it yourself! Old Madam Ruan, do you think that as long as these two things are fake, the evil star is fake? You have fallen for the wicked! ”
I have to say that this monk's reaction is not slow, and his speech is also clever. When these words came out, Ruan Qingzhi, who had completely ruled out suspicion, was pulled back into the whirlpool again.
The reputation of bad life has been borne for more than ten years, and this situation is indeed not completely reversed overnight.
It's just that with the previous lesson, everyone didn't immediately come up and shout and kill around Ruan Qingzhi. Ruan Qingzhi was also much calmer than before, standing in place silently, his expression faint as if he was a little dazed.
At this time, the few servants who restrained the monk had already let go of their hands under Ruan Wenzhong's hint.
The monk shook his robe and restored the solemn appearance of the treasure, looked at Ruan Qingzhi and said compassionately: "Miss Ruan, the poor monk believes that you have no evil thoughts in your heart. However, in this life, you are born sinful. ”
"So, you believe I haven't done anything bad?" Ruan Qingzhi looked at him and asked seriously.
The monk recited the Buddha's name and said solemnly: "Yes." ”
Ruan Qingzhi immediately asked, "Since I have never done evil, how can you say that I am guilty?" ”
Without waiting for the monk to reply, she herself replied, "You have no evidence! If one person can be convicted without evidence, I can now buy 10,000 people to go to the street and say that you are a rat and a rat in the world, guess whether there are more people who believe in you or more people who believe in me? ”
"Miss Ruan," the monk looked a little helpless, "strong words won't change anything. Your life is not a poor monk alone......"
Ruan Qingzhi waved his hand and interrupted him in a loud voice: "So I suspect that you don't understand anything, you just listened to some rumors about Chen Sesame Rotten Grain, and ran to my Ruan's house to deceive!" If so, there's nothing wrong with my grandmother sending you to Jingzhao Yamen! ”
The monk's expression was still compassionate, and he was not angry because of this girl's impoliteness: "Miss Ruan, the poor monk is not a fool. Maybe you haven't hurt others in the past ten years, but that doesn't mean you'll be so safe in the future. You've been restless lately. ”
Ruan Qingzhi sneered: "I'm restless, and I didn't hang my mother on the beam of the house with my own hands!" ”
"You ...... evil obstacles," Ruan Van Trung seized every opportunity to scold people.
The monk stopped him with a wave of his hand and sighed, "It's not that you want to harm people. You shine in this world, it is a bad omen that does not suppress evil, you see that now this white rainbow is a warning, in the future, the world of Southern Qi is not enough righteousness and evil is prosperous, ground movement, plague, drought and war will emerge in endlessly, in the long run, I am afraid that the country will not be a country! ”
Ruan Qingzhi waited patiently for him to finish, and laughed "haha".
Everyone was stunned, and the monk seemed to be a little surprised, and his eyebrows frowned helplessly.
Ye Han couldn't bear to take a step forward and was about to make a move, Ruan Qingzhi stopped him and looked at the monk with interest: "Now, have you finished what you want to say?" Did you make it clear? ”
The monk didn't know what to do for a moment.
Ruan Qingzhi waited for a while, and when he saw that he didn't answer, he jumped on the windowsill again: "Okay, you're done again, it's my turn to say it again!" ”
Ye Han couldn't hold back his laughter.
Ruan Wenzhong was a little annoyed for some reason, and roared angrily with a blue face: "What kind of system is it to climb the house on the wall!" Say you're a demon, do you really want to go to heaven?! ”
"Father is wrong," Ruan Qingzhi leaned against the window frame with a ruffian look, "Demons can't go to the sky." My father said that I am going to heaven, does it mean that you actually believe that I am an immortal in your heart? ”
"You!" Ruan Wenzhong was simply laughed at by her.
Ruan Qingzhi didn't laugh herself. She looked up at the fading white rainbow in the sky, and looked solemn: "Father guessed correctly, I am the fairy, I am the phoenix, and I am the auspicious rui of the Ruan family!" ”
Ruan Wenzhong couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped like thunder: "Fu'er Lu'er, kill this evil obstacle for me!" ”
"I see who dares!" Ye Han held a sword in both hands and blocked the window, and a husband was not allowed to open it.
There was a buzz in the hall.
The meaning of Ruan Qingzhi's words was only insinuating that Sang scolded Huai before, but now it is so obvious that even a fool can hear it.
This Miss Ruan is no longer satisfied with accusing her sister of murdering her, she wants to start reversing black and white and competing for this auspicious proposition of "destiny".
It's really young and frivolous.
Many of the older ladies couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Miss Ruan Er's phoenix life, that was verified by several great masters more than ten years ago. It's not a piece of clothing or a thing, how can it be so easy to be snatched away?
Miss Ruan came so recklessly, not only did she consume the sympathy she had earned before, but she also completely put herself in the position of a villain, and she almost didn't put on a white face!
She wants to be a robber herself, who will believe that she was wronged before? Who would believe that her sister set up a plot to frame her?
More and more people thought of this, and the sighs in the hall became even louder.
Many people can understand the sadness and pain of an eldest lady who has been bullied and ignored for more than ten years, but it does not mean that they are willing to support her to reverse black and white.
This matter is related to the whole world, and of course, it is also related to the life and death of each of them, who is willing to joke about this?
No, the Ruan family's own people are no longer happy.
First Ruan Wenzhong commanded the immovable servant, so angry that he carried a stool and rushed over to fight Ruan Qingzhi, and then the old lady shouted angrily with her cane, shouting at her subordinates and the other two sons to stop Ruan Wenzhong, while scolding Ruan Qingzhi not to mess around.
Ruan Qingzhi was still standing on the windowsill with a cold expression: "Fourteen years, I've endured it long enough!" Father, in the past fourteen years, you have not given me food, clothing, or appearance, and I have lived secretly to such a big age like a little mouse under the care of my grandmother, and now you are not even allowed to say a word to me? ”
Ruan Wenzhong was grabbed by his two younger brothers, and he still jumped to his feet: "Evil obstacles! I shouldn't have let you live this far! ”
Ruan Qingzhi turned around and looked at him indifferently: "But I'm still alive so big." It's not your credit, it's God! God won't let me die, God won't watch you turn black and white upside down by pointing at a deer as a horse! Because justice between heaven and earth is immortal, I have lived so big! ”
"Also," she took a deep breath and looked at Ruan Biyun again, "Yun'er, I'm back." You can give me back what you stole from me!" ”
Ruan Biyun's face turned pale and she retreated again and again.
A few women next to her wanted to catch her, but they couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw her expression.
Is she angry like this, or is she ...... Frightened?
Ruan Bijun quickly woke up, but her voice was not as loud as Ruan Qingzhi's, and she would not learn from Ruan Qingzhi to jump on the windowsill to speak. She could only cry and mourn: "Sister, why are you doing this to me? Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I'll give it to you......"
"No!" Ruan Qingzhi's voice was bright, "My own things, of course, I have to get them back by myself!" ”
After that, she no longer paid attention to Ruan Biyun, and looked up at everyone again: "Everyone has seen clearly today, some people want my life." So, even if the whole world stopped me from talking, I had to say - hey, that demon monk, do you say that Baihong Guanri is a great omen? ”
The monk didn't want to reply immediately, "Of course!" ”
Ruan Qingzhi laughed: "What nonsense! ”
Without waiting for others to react, she had already folded her fingers and counted: "Let's not talk about the previous dynasty, just talk about the current dynasty, there are five white rainbows recorded in history, and none of them should be in the murder!" The first time was in the first year of Kangsheng, Emperor Gaozu was happy with Lin'er, that is, the later Emperor Chengzu; The second time was the sixth year of Taihe, the birthday of Emperor Taishang, and Princess Anning was born on the same day; The third time was the third year of Taikang, when Chengguo Gong led the army to the north to break the capital of Qiangrong, and there was no war at the border for 130 years; The fourth time was in the ninth year of Tianchen, and Emperor Zhezong got married; The most recent one was five years ago, His Royal Highness King Li, the third prince of this dynasty, led the army out of Beijing to guard the border passes, and since then my southern Qi and northern Xinjiang have been as stable as a copper wall, and no one can commit it! ”
Ruan Qingzhi finished counting, lowered his hand heavily, and looked at everyone: "Now, you tell me that this white rainbow is a great omen?" ”
Her voice was originally clear, but at the moment she was condescending, and she was a little emotional, and it sounded a little more sharp, and the listener only felt as if the arrows were flying from the sky, and there was no way to avoid it.
Had to follow her train of thought.
Yes, who said that Bai Hong's sun is a bad omen?
Ancient books only say that there must be a major event when the celestial phenomena are abnormal, but whether this upcoming major event is auspicious or evil, ordinary people can't guess it.
They didn't seem to panic at first, they were-
By the way, it was Ruan Biyun, the second miss Ruan, who was the first to point to the sky, showing a frightened expression and shouting the sentence "White Rainbow through the Sun", and then everyone began to panic.
In fact, most of the initial panic was only out of awe of the celestial phenomena, and it was not until the monk appeared that he said that he was not suppressing the evil spirits and evil spirits, and they began to be really afraid.
Therefore, they were indeed misled in this matter, and the person who misled them was, of course, that Miss Ruan Er.
As well as this foreign monk, and maybe the Ruan Xiangye who defends the monk in every way!
Why mislead them? Why do we use celestial phenomena to preach what "good does not suppress evil" and "evil is rampant"? Who is calculating whom?
Who wants to kill whom, and who wants to rob whom?
There are only two black and white answers, but at this moment, everyone in the hall feels full of mud, and no one dares to guess.
It's a matter of the world.
In an instant, countless thoughts turned in everyone's hearts, and at this time, Ruan Qingzhi opened his mouth coldly:
"Now, I'll tell you! The celestial phenomenon of the white rainbow running through the sun, the Lord is lucky! ”
"Of course, this auspicious omen should be on me!"
"I'm back! I'm here to get back my own phoenix life, I'm here to bless the people of the Southern Qi world, and I'm here to assist the Ling family to be the lord of the world and the peace of the four seas! ”
"I'll come, put these things that have been turned upside down, twisted, and misplaced, back in their place!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me at the moment. I will let you see that all things in heaven and earth have their own belongings, and those who are stolen, robbed, and deceived will still be returned to their original owners after all! ”
With a loud bang, Ruan Qingzhi jumped down from the windowsill, and looked at Bai Hong in the sky again: "It's mine, it must still be mine in the end!" ”
She stood tall, and the sun shone brightly on her body, setting her around her with a circle of dazzling gold edges.
Seems...... The phoenix bathes in fire.
The hall was silent.
At this time, there was a sound of neat footsteps outside the door, followed by a majestic shout: "Who is here to confuse the people!" Take it for me! ”
