Chapter 166: A dilemma
"That's it!" Yang Aixiao echoed sharply, "As long as this evil seed is still alive in the world, people will point to our backbone and say that our Yang family village patriarch, the concubine of the old man, gave birth to a wild seed, and let the housekeeper take it to other places to secretly raise it, where does this make our faces go?" How can we still meet people! ”
Yang Aixiao's mother Zhang was arrested because she poisoned the child to kill her, and now that the child is a wild seed, Zhang's sin is much smaller, maybe the old lady is grateful to Zhang for doing this and paying for her relationship. Therefore, Yang Aixiao is particularly energetic in adding fuel to the fire.
Hearing their words, Old Lady Yang was even more angry, her face was pale, she trembled, turned her head and pointed to a few male servants behind her and said, "You guys, go and take this evil seed to the dung pit and drown, and then bring the corpse to me!" If you don't do it, I'll kill you! Hear no! ”
The manservants agreed, and ran over to grab the child with Steward Pang.
Although Steward Pang was shriveled up, he was very capable and had a lot of strength, and as soon as he pulled it, the two male servants fell out.
However, the tiger is still afraid of wolves, not to mention that he is far from being a tiger, six or seven male servants come up together, and Steward Pang is not an opponent. He couldn't resist, so he knelt on the ground, desperately protected the child under him, and begged the old lady for mercy in his mouth.
The manservants had been ordered to die, and how dare they not do their best, and they would snatch the child with all their might, and the mountain began to cry like a weak kitten. There was chaos in the field. Seeing that the mountain is about to be snatched away by the male servants.
"Stop!" Song Yun'er shouted, hurriedly stepped forward, made a few clicks, grabbed the few male servants and threw them out of the circle, fell heavily to the ground, and screamed miserably.
Song Yun'er turned to Old Lady Yang and said, "Old lady, Yun'er asks you for a favor, Shan'er, this child is only two or three years old, you can be merciful and spare this child." ”
Steward Pang was originally lonely and helpless, seeing that the child was about to be snatched away, fortunately Song Yun'er helped, and it was too late to express her gratitude to Song Yun'er, and when she heard that Song Yun'er also interceded for the child, she was moved to tears, hugged the mountain tightly, knelt and climbed two steps, and kowtowed to Mrs. Yang again and again.
Song Yun'er pleaded, but Old Lady Yang couldn't say anything, so she blushed and turned her head to look at Song Tongzhi.
Song Tongzhi coughed and was about to speak, but Yang Qiuchi had already rushed to the front and said: "Yun'er, this is our Yang family handling family affairs, don't meddle in your affairs, come back quickly!" ”
Song Yun'er was so anxious that her face was flushed, and she stomped her feet: "Brother! They're going to drown their children, how can this be called idleness! ”
"You don't know the situation, don't meddle! Come back! After a pause, Yang Qiuchi said coldly, "This child's mother is dead, and my father doesn't know which villain he is without conscience, this kind of wild seed for no reason is better than drowning!" ”
"What~!" Song Yun'er couldn't believe her ears, she couldn't believe that these ruthless and unrighteous words were actually said by the man she loved, her face turned pale, she bit her silver teeth, and said hatefully: "You~!" You're so cold-blooded! I misread you! ”
With a bang, a short sword was already in her hand, Song Yun'er stood in the middle of the field, and swept everyone with cold eyes: "I have secured this kid today, who wants to kill him, ask me about the short sword in my hand first!" ”
Song Tongzhi shouted: "Yun'er must not be unreasonable! This is at Old Lady Yang's house. Don't come back soon! Song Yun'er didn't care.
Yang Qiuchi frowned: "Where is Xia Ping!" ”
"The subordinates are here!" Xia Ping replied with a fist behind Yang Qiuchi.
"Go take her down! Don't hurt her life! ”
"Yes!" Xia Ping unsheathed her long sword and stepped forward.
"Hahaha~!" Song Yun'er sneered, "Hurt my surname? She can't see enough! ”
As he spoke, there was a series of slashing sounds like fried beans, the sword light flashed, and the two were already fighting together.
Mother Yang said urgently: "Child, tell them to stop!" Feng Xiaoxue also wanted to persuade, but when she saw Yang Qiuchi's gloomy face, she didn't dare to persuade her, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the two of them had already fought dozens of moves like lightning, and when they heard Song Yun'er's clear whistle, the long sword in Xia Ping's hand had been knocked away, and Song Yun'er's short sword was on Xia Ping's neck, and she sneered: "Who hurt whose surname?" ”
Xia Ping raised her eyebrows: "Miss Song is very skilled, I admire it." The surname under the order was originally saved by Miss Song's intercession, and it should be returned to the girl. Do it. "Eyes closed.
Song Yun'er withdrew her short sword: "What will I do to kill you, retreat!" ”
Xia Ping hugged her fists and thanked her, and retreated. He bowed to Yang Qiuchi and said, "My subordinates are incompetent......"
Yang Qiuchi waved his hand: "I don't blame you, step back." After a pause, he shouted: "Where is Nangong Xiong!" ”
"The subordinates are here!" Nangong Xiong stepped forward and clenched his fists.
"Song Yun'er disturbed my Yang family's handling of clan affairs, you go and take her down, don't hurt her surname!"
Just now Yang Qiuchi asked Xia Ping to take Song Yun'er, Nangong Xiong was a little puzzled, he knew that Song Yun'er and Yang Qiuchi had always been inseparable, why did he want to take her now. Since Yang Qiuchi has an order, although he doesn't know the reason, he can only obey the order.
Nangong Xiong pulled out his waist knife, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Miss Song, offended!" ”
"Less nonsense! Come on! Song Yun'er waved her short sword and shouted.
Ding Yu when the two fought together, Nangong Xiong's moves opened and closed, the strength was mighty, Song Yun'er was small and smart, the sword moves were magical, and after more than 100 moves, Nangong Xiong gradually fell into the wind.
Yang Qiuchi frowned and waved his hand: "Everyone is together!" Take her down! ”
"Yes!" The guards behind Yang Qiuchi drew their swords and surrounded them. Xia Ping hesitated, but still pulled out his long sword and surrounded him.
Song Yun'er knew that her martial arts were slightly stronger than Nangong Xiong, and with Xia Ping, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to resist, not to mention that there were more than a dozen brocade guards, all of whom were good hands, and immediately shouted urgently: "Yang Qiuchi!" Don't force me to kill you! Otherwise I'll splatter them with blood on the spot! ”
Song Yun'er was so angry that she called her by her name, and she didn't even call "brother" anymore.
Yang Qiuchi said coldly: "Yun'er, you are too disagreeable!" How to deal with the wild species of Shan'er is a matter of my Yang family's clan, you meddle indiscriminately, you shouldn't be, don't stop and retreat quickly! If you don't listen to me, do you really have to take five steps to be willing to be spattered with blood? ”
Song Tongzhi knew that his daughter was in a hurry, and if she made a fuss, she would really hurt people, and it would be difficult to clean it up at that time. In a hurry, he stammered even more, and yelled at Song Yun'er: "Yun'er! You, don't you even listen to your father, your father's words! Quick, quick, get out of the way! ”
"Daddy! Don't worry about it, I'm fighting with this surnamed Yang today! While speaking, Song Yun'er's sword light was great, and she had to restrain Nangong Xiong first.
Nangong Xiong only defended but did not attack, but Song Yun'er couldn't help him for a while. The guards shouted, and each sword surrounded him to make a move.
"Stop fighting! Stop it! Listen to me! Steward Pang, who had been kneeling beside him, stood up with the child in his arms, "You all stop, I have something to say!" ”
Steward Pang held the child in the middle of them, and both sides were afraid of hurting the two of them, so they had to take a step back.
Steward Pang said to Song Yun'er: "Miss Song, thank you for your kindness, I, Pang someone, am grateful." Then he turned around and walked to Mrs. Yang, knelt down and kowtowed with the child in his arms, and said, "Master, if you refuse to spare the child, the old slave is willing to exchange his life for a life, as long as you can promise to spare this child, I will die here immediately." I implore the old lady to fulfill it. ”
This Steward Pang came forward to intercede to save this child, he must not bear to see this child die innocently, Song Yun'er came forward for this reason, everyone can understand, but now Steward Pang wants to exchange his life for a life, and exchange his own life for Shan'er's life, which is incomprehensible, unless it is a close relative or there is a special reason, who would do this.
Therefore, after hearing Steward Pang's words, everyone was stunned, and even Song Yun'er was surprised and asked, "Hey, are you crazy?" Why do you want to trade your own life for this child's life? ”
"Because it's his own son!" Yang Qiuchi said coldly.
Yes~! The crowd was taken aback. Song Yun'er asked in surprise, "Yang ......, what did you say?" What his own son? ”
Yang Qiuchi's words were like a thunderbolt in mid-air that hit Steward Pang, he trembled, fell to the ground, hugged the mountain tightly, and looked at Yang Qiuchi in horror.
Yang Qiuchi then said slowly: "Steward Pang drugged the third aunt Tai Guo, made her delirious, and then annihilated her, and gave birth to Shan'er. ”
Steward Pang said urgently: "No, no, I don't!" ”
"If Shan'er wasn't your child, would you be able to exchange your life for a life?" Yang Qiuchi glanced at Song Yun'er and continued: "The reason why I am so hard is to let you say this!" ”
What the? Song Yun'er was stunned at this moment, her head turned, and she immediately figured out the joints, and said in surprise: "Brother, it turns out that you did this on purpose, you didn't want to kill the child, and deliberately provoked him to say this, right?" ”
Yang Qiuchi ignored her.
The white light flashed, and the short blade sank into Song Yun'er's sleeve. Song Yun'er hurriedly walked up to Yang Qiuchi and pulled his sleeve: "Brother, are you angry?" Why ignore Yun'er? ”
"I'm not your brother, I'm 'surnamed Yang'!"
Song Yun'er was a little embarrassed, and then her face turned blank: "Who told you not to tell me in advance!" ”
"Tell you? How do I know you're going to go crazy and stand out for him? ”
"Hehe," Song Yun'er smiled and said softly: "Okay, brother, even if Yun'er goes crazy, I'm sorry, Yun'er has made amends for you, don't dare next time, you can spare Yun'er." ”
"Hmph~!" Yang Qiuchi stretched out his hand and scraped the bridge of Song Yun'er's nose, "Naughty!" Okay, you get out of the way, I'm going to judge this Pang steward. ”
"Hey~!" Song Yun'er agreed crisply and stepped aside.
Yang Qiuchi took a few steps forward and said to Steward Pang: "Let me ask you again, is Shan'er your child?" ”
This is a dilemma, Steward Pang said yes no, no. After thinking about it, he finally shook his head: "No." ”
Yang Qiuchi said: "Since this child is not yours, please hand over the child to Old Lady Yang for execution, this wild species cannot remain in the world!" ”
Song Yun'er already knew Yang Qiuchi's intentions at this time, and did not come forward to stop it.
Steward Pang actually knew that Yang Qiuchi was forcing him, but he didn't dare to bet on this child, although Song Yun'er came forward to stop him just now, but she didn't know Song Yun'er, so she didn't dare to bet on her, and as long as Song Yun'er didn't interfere, Old Lady Yang would definitely put the child to death.
Steward Pang just said in a hurry that he was willing to exchange his life for a life, mainly because he wanted to use this method to provoke Old Lady Yang and ask him not to kill Shan'er, not really wanting to exchange his life for the child's life.
But Steward Pang wants to admit that he forcibly annihilated the third aunt and gave birth to Shan'er, according to the "Da Ming Law": "Those who are forced to destroy will be hanged." "Every slave, and whoever hires a worker, or destroys the wives and daughters of his family, shall be beheaded." "The concubines are each reduced by one, and the strong ones are also beheaded." Therefore, as long as Steward Pang admits it, he will lose his head. So he refused to admit it.
Yang Qiuchi said: "If I use the child's surname to force you, I won't be convinced, so be it." You said that this child is not yours, do you dare to drop blood to recognize your relatives? ”
Steward Pang shook his head in panic and said incoherently, "No, I ......, he is not my son,...... Why should I dripble blood to confess my relatives! ”
Old lady Yang was anxious to know the truth, and waved her hand: "Catch him and confess his relatives with blood!" ”
"Yes!" Several manservants rushed up to grab Steward Pang and snatched the child over, Song Yun'er was afraid that Old Lady Yang would kill the child in a hurry, so she ran over and snatched Shan'er and held her in her arms.
Feng Xiaoxue walked up to Song Yun'er and said, "Miss Song, give me the child." ”
Song Yun'er immediately understood what Feng Xiaoxue meant, holding the child by herself, it was inconvenient to do it, and she could not better protect Feng Xiaoxue's husband Yang Qiuchi, so she smiled and handed the child over to Feng Xiaoxue.
Yang Qiuchi took out a new glass straw, collected the blood of Steward Pang and Shan'er respectively, and asked the servant to bring another clean bowl and bring the blood and porcelain bowl into the chamber.
After a moment, Yang Qiuchi walked to the table with the tray. Everyone gathered around, but Steward Pang didn't, he still sat on the ground, his face was cold sweat.
Yang Qiuchi dripped the blood from the two glass straws into the bowl, and sure enough, they quickly fused together.
Old lady Yang was furious and scolded: "It's really this old beast!" ”
The eldest grandmother suddenly realized: "No wonder he defends Guo's scratching fox everywhere, when we kicked the fox belly, he also secretly told the master that he was afraid that we would kick his son away!" ”
Yang Aixiao said hatefully: "That's it! No wonder he beat my mother so hard with a leather whip, and he wanted to strangle my mother to death, it turned out that he was angry with my mother for poisoning his son! Speaking of this, he spat at Steward Pang: "You shameless old thing, you really deserve a thousand cuts!" ”
Song Yun'er asked Yang Qiuchi in surprise: "Brother, how did you know that Shan'er is the child of Steward Pang?" ”
Yang Qiuchi said: "The first thing he aroused my suspicion was his attitude towards Shan'er, when he knew that Shan'er was not weak and sick, but was poisoned, his reaction was obviously not like a housekeeper, but like a father. When he learned that the person who poisoned him was his second aunt, his hatred for the murderer was even more terrifying, and he even strangled her on the spot. Mrs. Yang asked him to enforce the family law, and he almost beat his second aunt to death. ”
"However, at that time, I was just wondering how he reacted so strongly, I thought he was a heartfelt protector of the Lord, but it turned out that he had selfish intentions! The interrogation of Yang Aixiao and the others made me know Steward Pang's concern for the child in the third aunt's womb, and further confirmed his selfishness. So, I decided to give it a try with a drop of blood. ”
Yang Qiuchi turned to Steward Pang and said, "The first time I confessed to my relatives with blood, you saw that Old Lady Yang's blood and your son's blood did not merge, which was very unexpected to you, right?" Do you think I don't know that you have put your hands and feet in the bowl of blood confession? ”
Song Yun'er said curiously: "Do your hands and feet? What did he do? ”
The bowl of blood recognition was rubbed by him with salt and vinegar, you know, the raw blood will definitely be fused together. In his early years, he had run a boat, traveled north and south, and had seen the world, and of course he knew the trick of cheating by recognizing his relatives with blood. ”
"He knew that Shan'er was not the son of Old Lady Yang, but his own son, as long as he took a blood test, he would leak the stuffing immediately, so he moved his hands and feet, hoping that the two drops of blood could be fused in order to get by."
Speaking of this, Yang Qiuchi pointed to his nose and said with some smugness: "You don't know, right? I have a very smart nose, not much worse than my little black. He looked down at the little black dog behind him, who barked twice and wagged his little tail as if in agreement.
Yang Qiuchi continued: "The bowl you brought personally, I knew it as soon as I smelled it, and you wiped it with salt and vinegar. ”
Song Yun'er said curiously: "Since this is the case, why is there no fusion?" Then he understood, and said happily: "Since you know that he has done his hands and feet, of course the porcelain bowl has been adjusted by you!" ”
Yang Qiuchi smiled slightly: "Clever! This bowl is another clean bowl, and the truth is revealed. Therefore, Steward Pang was very surprised just now, so that he was a little depressed. ”
Song Yun'er understands now: "No wonder Old Lady Yang didn't react when he talked to him just now, and he kept saying 'No, impossible, no'"
The eldest young master Yang Qingshui has been silent, his eyes are red at the moment, he walked to Steward Pang silently, and kicked it violently, hitting Steward Pang in the cheek, kicking Steward Pang backwards and falling out several steps away.
Yang Qingshui was still chasing after him, but was stopped by Yang Qiuchi.
Old lady Yang now knew that her green hat was actually worn by the housekeeper, so she trembled with anger, pointed at Steward Pang and shouted, "Someone! Drag him out and beat him to death! And when the servants had agreed, they were to come forward and do their work.
Yang Qiuchi said: "Wait! Uncle, there are still some things that I haven't asked clearly, and I can't kill him now. ”
After listening to Yang Qiuchi's words, Old Lady Yang had to temporarily suppress her anger and stared at Steward Pang, eager to tear him to pieces.
