Jinchengfang Huang Family Poisoning Case Chapter Seventy-Six The Decline of the Aristocrats
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and I don't ask about too private things, but now that this case has alarmed the emperor, it's not good not to investigate the case wholeheartedly." Qi Qi smiled bitterly: "The Huang family doesn't want to expand this matter, it's good that it alarmed the son-in-law who doesn't want to be alarmed the most, if this matter can't find out a result, I'm afraid even Zhaorong Niangniang will be implicated." Actually, I hope it was just an accident. ”
"Yes. The impact is so bad. Huang Qiuju said with a bitter face: "When this happened, even the emperor felt that his face was gloomy, and now the situation, you can't find out, the emperor blames you for being incompetent; But if you find out who is behind the scenes, if it is really our Huang family who did it, then Xiaomei is afraid that she will be implicated in the family scandal. Therefore, there is only one outcome at the moment, which is acceptable to everyone. ”
"I understand what you mean," Qi Qi said: "If this thing is done by outsiders, it will be reasonable to the emperor and the Huang family." ”
"At the beginning, Jinchengfang pretended that we had already bought it out, thinking that this matter would be concealed like this. No one expected that the eldest brother would be able to poke out this case, and everyone complained about him for not taking care of Zhaorong Niangniang's situation. How fierce is the competition in the harem, and there is such a big scandal in the family, how can the little sister deal with herself? ”
It can be seen that Huang Qiuju is really worried about her sister, and at the same time hates Huang Qiuhua for not being thoughtful enough.
"But Huang Qiuhua said that everyone forced him to commit it." Qi Qi said.
"What do you mean to force him?" Huang Qiuju said: "This is stipulated by the royal law, and the daughter also has the right to inherit, he is stubborn about the old rites, can you blame us?" Moreover, we didn't say that we would share it equally with him, he is the eldest brother of the Huang family, how can our daughters open their mouths and see the decline of the Huang family! ”
"So, who do you think will do it?" Qi Qi asked.
"It's hard to say." Huang Qiuju said: "Under normal circumstances, everyone will not think that this is the son's doing, because this division of family property is the most detrimental to the son." But if you think about it carefully, the eldest brother has three sons. According to the New Tang Dynasty law, they are also eligible to divide the family property, if this is calculated, won't the eldest brother's family get more? ”
Qi Qi frowned and said: "That's too contradictory, if it's the eldest brother, why should he report the case?" It's good to just divide it up. ”
"That's the problem." Huang Qiuju lowered her voice and said, "I suspect that his son did it." His three sons are unlearned, and they have a violent temper, they have spent too much money in recent years, and they owe a lot of money outside, when their father was alive, he had long wanted to expel these three grandsons, but after the Huang family only had these three roots, the old man had not been ruthless. But everyone could see that Daddy had been shaken. Do you think, if you really want to expel them, then what else will the three of them get? ”
Qi Qi pondered for a moment and said, "If it was the grandson who murdered his grandfather, then they must not have told their father about it, otherwise Huang Qiuhua would not have reported it to the official." ”
"That's how it should be."
Then Qi Qi said goodbye to Huang Qiuju and walked out of the door, Wei Chang was sitting on the stone steps outside, sleeping.
The eldest girl suddenly had a bad idea, she quietly walked up to Wei Chang's side, stomped her foot violently, and woke Wei Chang up, and then she sneered.
Wei Chang turned his head, looked at Qi Qi with disdain, and sneered, "Eating too much in the morning? ”
"Uninteresting." Qi Qi pouted.
"You're interesting." Wei Chang patted the ashes and stood up, "Let's talk about it, what did you all talk about." ”
Qi Qi told Wei Chang about their conversation, and after listening to it for a long time, Wei Chang shook his head and said, "This woman is also open for her son, and she will not give up her inheritance." ”
"You seem to be defending Huang Qiuhua by saying this, and you also think that your daughters should take the initiative to give up their inheritance rights?"
"Not that I think
, but now the world is like this. I can't get a dollar for their family, so why should I worry about them. I just want to say that this woman is actually quite pathetic. You see, their family doesn't even have a servant, and it seems that their family doesn't entertain guests at all, is such a nobleman still a nobleman? As a mother, she just wants to resist her son and prop up a noble shelf. In the future, if the son can soar, they can resume the relationship of the nobles at any time. However, there are a thousand Jin Wuwei in Chang'an City, and it is really difficult for his son to come out. If Dong Ye could never stand up, this family would collapse completely. ”
Wei Chang sighed for a while, and suddenly walked to the west.
"You're going to Huang's house?" Qi Qi asked.
"No, I'll go find Dong Ye."
"I think we should go to the Huang family, interrogate the youngest son Huang Qiubao first, and then ask the three grandsons together."
"Don't worry, let's do a good job outside first, and then go back to the Huang family, and then we will have some points in our hearts."
As soon as he walked a street, Wei Chang was attracted by a gust of wind, which carried the smell of mutton in the basin.
"Hey, where is there a restaurant around here?"
Wei Chang looked around, and suddenly saw a small restaurant on the corner of the street, a very small kind, this kind of restaurant is only seen in densely built places like the East Market, the West Market, and Pingkangfang, but he didn't expect that there are also this kind of small restaurants here in Jinchengfang that set up stalls outside.
"You're not going to find Dong Ye?"
"I'll take a bite first!"
Qi Qi said with a bitter face: "You eat mutton in a water basin every day, can't you eat enough?" ”
"Just like you women wear blush, never get bored." Wei Chang trotted and disappeared.
By the time Wei Chang finished eating, it was almost noon.
It's not that Wei Chang eats slowly, but that there are many people in the store and the food is served slowly.
"You just have to be patient while you're waiting for the food." Qi Qi said sarcastically.
"What, you think this place is dirty and you can't swallow it?" Wei Chang ordered two Hu Biscuits for Qi Qi, but Qi Qi didn't eat them.
"I'm just not hungry." Qi Qi wrapped a piece of Hu Biscuit in yellow paper and put it in her pocket, it seemed that she was really not hungry now.
Wei Chang suddenly raised his head and asked, "Who do you think the killer will be?" ”
Qi Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "I suspect it's Huang Lijin, Huang Liyu, and Huang Liman." It may be a conspiracy, and it is not excluded that someone is doing it alone. ”
Wei Chang shook his head and said, "Our information comes from the Huang family, so the Huang family's own people must also consider it like this, so the problem is here." Since the three bastard grandsons are so suspicious, do you think they will still do it? In other words, as a result of one thing, everyone will think that you did it, so will you still do it? ”
"The situation is urgent." Qi Qi said.
"I don't think it's likely." Wei Chang shook his head again and said, "The three of them, as long as they are honest and good grandsons, the situation will improve, and I am afraid that they will not have to kill their grandfather." ”
"And who do you think it is?" Qi Qi asked curiously.
"For some reason, I don't think I'm anyone." Wei Chang rubbed his forehead and said, "No one here should be the murderer of Huang Daotong, they have insufficient motives for committing the crime. ”
"But judging from the situation of these daughters, I don't think it is possible."
"But do you think any of these daughters can do that kind of thing?" Wei Chang smiled bitterly: "Although every family has its own suffering, but when I observe them, they are not the kind of people who can kill their fathers, because they are not ruthless enough, and they are all people who love life." ”
Qi Qi suddenly laughed: "What's wrong with you today, how old-fashioned." And I don't think you're judging right today. Huang Qiuyu and her husband quarreled as soon as they met, do you think
Does she love life? Widow Fu Lian, seeing through the red dust, her face is gloomy, do you think she loves life? Huang Qiuju was suppressed by her mother-in-law at home, she didn't have a single servant, and she did even the heaviest work herself, do you think she loves life? ”
"Yes." Wei Chang said with certainty: "They all love life, haha, mutton is here." ”
"Hey, you answer my question first."
"I'll talk about it when I'm done!"
"Then you hurry up and eat."
"If you don't rush to work, you don't bother me."
"Okay, then I'll help you eat."
“……”
"It's going to be faster!"
In the afternoon, they came to the Jinchengfang Jinwuwei office hall together. Here, it is much more generous than Wei Chang's Fengyi Fang bad people's office. Three large tiled houses, dozens of Jin Wuwei, and even hired workers who specialize in cleaning.
And the team leader here is only at the same level as Wei Chang, from the ninth grade.
Briefly explaining the intention, the team leader said: Now Dong Ye is gambling money in the Chen family's wine shop, if you want to find him, go there to find him.
"This star really wants to retire"
Hearing this, Qi Qi and Wei Chang glanced at each other and shook their heads almost at the same time.
The grandmother and mother at home saved him so much, but he gambled outside, which was really chilling.
Without further ado, the two came to the Chen family wine shop, Dong Ye had already finished a game, and was sitting at the table by the window drinking tea, and there were two young Jin Wuwei beside him, it seemed that the three of them came together.
Wei Chang briefly introduced himself, Dong Ye stood up and hugged his fists, and then followed Wei Chang to the outside of the wine shop.
They just came to a secluded street corner and chatted casually.
"We've seen all the relatives of the Huang family, so we're not here for you." Wei Chang said.
"It's okay, even if it's against me, I don't care." Dong Ye said.
Dong Ye looks like he is in his early twenties, the same age as Qi Qi, the young man has inherited his mother's good genes, has a good figure, and looks good, but when he speaks, he tends to be feminine, and he doesn't seem to be very energetic.
It seems that he also understands his own situation, the nobles of the Dong family for several generations have become Jin Wuwei in his generation, and his heart is not a good feeling.
"Let's talk about the main point directly, who do you think will do this?" Wei Chang asked bluntly.
"I think the housekeeper probably did it." The corners of Dong Ye's mouth carried a hint of mockery: "When I say this, I'm afraid everyone wants to hear it, but my uncle doesn't want to hear it." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"If you don't even understand this, it seems that you won't be able to handle this case at all."
Whether it is young or vigorous, Wei Chang didn't care about him, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you want me to see, the two nephews of the Huang family are also very suspicious." ”
"Yes, so I'm not surprised at all that you're coming to me. But I really don't know who did it. ”
"So who do you think can be the biggest?"
"I think it's uncle."
Your answer sounds the least reliable. Before the old man made a will, he killed his father, which was the most unwise. ”
"But Grandpa has already begun to think about expelling his uncle's three sons, which may be the reason why Uncle wants to kill Grandpa. Although there is no will, these relatives came back to share the Huang family's inheritance, but he can use the accusation as a reason to blackmail all the relatives to commit crimes. After all, everyone is an aristocrat and doesn't want to discredit themselves. But what he didn't expect was that everyone refused to give up their inheritance, and as a result, things got bigger, and he couldn't do it if he didn't report to the official. ”
Hearing this, Wei Chang shook his head and said, "......"
