Chapter 244: The Truth Within the Truth
Now the truth is really revealed: Li Chengming's father and son have long coveted the beauty of Hong Aya, and set up this bureau of two horses for one car, nominally taking Hong Aya over to the eldest young master as a concubine, in fact, these three people just used Hong Aya as a tool for them to vent their desires, and the three of them prepared wine and food in this room, wanting to vent their animal desires while drinking.
The three of them must have toasted a celebratory wine for the success of their conspiracy, but they did not expect that this wine had been drugged with sweat, and the three of them only took off their clothes, and before they could succeed, they fell asleep.
Enraged, Red Aya killed the three beasts with the fruit knife in the fruit bowl on the coffee table. Because the three of them were stunned by the drug, they couldn't resist and were stabbed to death by Red Aya one by one!
Poor and lovely Hong Aya, Yang Qiuchi is full of admiration for Hong Aya, since Hong Aya has done this, such a result is already very good, why should he have to do everything to find out the truth, isn't the result also to make Hong Aya not criminally responsible, since this result has been achieved, it is enough.
Yang Qiuchi walked out of the small courtyard and asked Nangong Xiong to send someone back to the yamen to prepare a carriage to transport the red silk back to the yamen, and then instructed Steward Xiao to call Li Yuanwai's ladies and concubines, he had something to say.
Li Yuanwai's ladies and concubines soon arrived, Yang Qiuchi said: "Your little master didn't hide that your master married Hong Aya to the eldest young master, killed the eldest young master after getting drunk, and tried to force Hong Aya to annihilate it, your master came forward to stop it, the little young master actually ignored the principles of heaven and killed the master, and he was also killed by the master." What do you say about this? ”
Of course, Li Yuanwai's ladies and concubines know the surname of this kind of thing, and when they say that they throw away the dead, their faces are white and trembling, and Li Yuanwai's lady said in a trembling voice: "The family is unfortunate, and it all depends on the master." ”
Yang Qiuchi said coldly: "You promised to be good to Hong Aya, I just agreed to let Hong Aya marry your eldest young master, I didn't expect your little young master to do such a thing that is inferior to beasts, I don't agree to this family business now!" So, I'm going to take the red aya back! Fortunately, the deed of Hongyan's slave has not been given to you yet, and Hongyan is not a member of your family. In addition, I will return those two little maids. ”
Li Yuanwai's lady sobbed and said: "Everything is up to the master, but that pair of little maids is a sincere gift from our master to you, you can stay, and it can be regarded as fulfilling a little of the master's heart." ”
Yang Qiuchi scolded in his heart: Mind? Your lord is thinking that the law is going to harm the red silk girl, but fortunately, God has eyes, and their father and son have evil retribution, and they deserve it!
immediately said: "Well, well, the official has already completed the investigation of the scene, and he can handle the aftermath, what should I do about the aftermath?" Have you ever thought about it? ”
Li Yuanwai's ladies and concubines all whined and cried again.
Steward Xiao bowed down and said, "The eldest master and the two young masters are dead, and the villain and a few grandmothers have asked Mr. Feng Shui to calculate just now, saying that this funeral is not suitable for ...... It is not advisable to delay, and it is decided to bury them today, and then do three more days of ritual for them to overtake the souls of the dead, and go to the Western Heaven Elysium as soon as possible. ”
Yang Qiuchi snorted, nodded, waved them away, then turned around and returned to the side room, sat down on the edge of the bed, gently stroked Hong Aya's hair, and said, "Hong Aya, you have suffered, I have withdrawn this family business from the Li family, I will take you back." ”
"Really?" Hong Aya said in a trembling voice, and her beautiful Danfeng eyes flashed with the light of the rest of her life in the bitter sea.
"Hmm!" Yang Qiuchi nodded and looked at Song Qing.
Song Qing had a thought last night, and almost ruined Hong Aya's chastity and surname, and felt guilty in her heart, listening to Yang Qiuchi's words, she squatted on the side of the bed, took Hong Aya's hand, and said in a choked voice: "Hong Aya, if you want, you can stay with us all the time, just be a big girl in the room." In the future, ......, if you can help your husband give birth to a son and a half daughter, your husband will take you in. ”
Yang Qiuchi was embarrassed, he didn't expect Song Qing to say such things, he was a little embarrassed, and said to Song Qing: "Qing'er, you ......"
Song Qing smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "I have already discussed this matter with Sister Zhihui just now, and we both feel that only in this way can we make up for the damage we have caused to Hongyan." The concubine begs for her husband's grace! With that, Song Qing looked at Yang Qiuchi with pleading.
Qin Zhihui also came over and squatted beside Yang Qiuchi, and said: "Yes, Hongyan almost died in Huangquan because of us, and she also said last night that she wanted to guard the master wholeheartedly, so you agreed!" ”
Yang Qiuchi also felt very sorry for Hong Aya, turned his head to look at Hong Aya, and asked, "Hong Aya, what do you mean?" ”
Hong Aya's pretty face was already as red as a ripe pomegranate, and she said in a shy voice, "But ...... The young master and the two young grandmothers ...... Be in charge. My heart rejoiced, and I couldn't help but cry.
Yang Qiuchi didn't expect this incident to end like this, his heart blossomed, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and he didn't know what to say. When I raised my eyes and saw Song Yun'er, I saw that her expression was faint, I couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad, and I thought of Liu Ruobing, I had already said that I would not accept concubines, what should I do now?
If you directly state that you don't accept concubines now, how cruel is it to the hard-working red silk, what should you do? Yang Qiuchi ran out of ideas.
After thinking about it, what Song Qing and Qin Zhihui said just now was that if Hong Aya gave birth to a child for herself in the future, they would accept her into the room, that is to say, what they meant was just to let Hong Aya be the big girl in the room, and they didn't want to accept Hong Aya as a concubine themselves, and there was still a buffer time, so they could only slowly let Liu Ruobing and Song Yuner accept it.
It seems that these concubines are not all beautiful. Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly in his heart.
While she was thinking wildly, Xia Ping knocked on the door and came in to report that the carriage was ready. Although Song Yun'er was very unhappy with Song Qing's decision just now, she still felt some pity for Hong Aya, so she took the initiative to step forward and carefully pick up Hong Aya, and went out to put it on the soft collapse of the carriage carport.
At this time, several people who were specially responsible for the burial of people had already washed and changed into new clothes for Li Chengming's father and son, and the bloody clothes, furniture, beds, and the white silk tied with red silk at the murder scene, the murder weapon, etc., had been transported to the open area and burned, and the slaves were washing the blood stains in the room. Yang Qiuchi saw that the evidence had been completely destroyed, so he was relieved.
Back at Yamen, Yang Qiuchi personally arranged for Hong Aya to rest in bed and sent two old mothers to take good care of her. At this time, it was almost noon, Yang Qiuchi asked Song Yuner to be responsible for arranging someone to make something delicious to make up for Hong Aya, Song Yuner took pity on Hong Aya, and of course agreed very happily.
After supporting Song Yun'er, Yang Qiuchi came to Liu Ruobing's residence in the back garden.
This back garden is quite large, and Yang Qiuchi is specially isolated for Liu Ruobing and Song Yun'er to live in, and no one else is allowed to enter at will. Liu Ruobing is generally cultivating in the back garden, and she doesn't go out when she has nothing to do.
Yang Qiuchi knocked lightly on the door: "Senior Liu!" ”
"Come in!" Liu Ruobing's crisp voice is still so faint.
Yang Qiuchi pushed the door in, and saw Liu Ruobing sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and recuperating, as if an old monk had settled down.
Yang Qiuchi didn't dare to make a mistake, and sat down on the stool next to the round table in front of her, he was worried that Song Yun'er would come to him at any time, so to make a long story short, he asked bluntly: "Senior, did you save the red silk girl last night?" ”
Liu Ruobing's long eyelashes twitched, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Yang Qiuchi with appreciation: "You are not simple." ”
Yang Qiuchi said with a smile: "The seniors are really not simple, I only know now that the seniors have been following us last night, right?" ”
"Didn't you ask me to protect you? How can I protect myself if I don't follow you? ”
Yang Qiuchi happily got up and bowed deeply: "Thank you senior!" After a pause, he asked a little strangely, "How did the seniors know that they had bad intentions?" ”
"Just look at their eyes and know that none of them are good people!"
Yang Qiuchi's heart froze, it turned out that Liu Ruobing had always been by her side, but she didn't know, but she didn't know if she knew now that Song Qing and Qin Zhihui asked Hong Aya to do her own thing as a big maid, peeking at Liu Ruobing, and seeing that her cold and delicate cheeks were still so faint, as if there was nothing in this world that could move her, and she couldn't see her thoughts, Yang Qiuchi couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
Yang Qiuchi put aside this matter and continued the topic just now: "Can the senior tell me what happened last night?" ”
Liu Ruobing said lightly: "After you returned to the yamen last night, I was worried that Miss Hongya would suffer, so I went back to take a look, and I saw the three of them discussing how to spoil Hongyan's affairs, I wanted to kill them, but I was worried about causing you trouble, so I let them go." ”
Yang Qiuchi was very grateful when he heard this, and thought to himself, if Liu Ruobing killed the three of them, if he couldn't solve the case, it would be detrimental to his political performance, and if the case was solved, the murderer was Sister Liu, what should he do? Thanks to Liu Ruobing, who thought about herself, she was grateful and said, "Thank you seniors for being so thoughtful!" Looking back, he said excitedly, "Qiuchi, thank you sister for bothering to think about me." ”
Liu Ruobing smiled slightly: "Thank you what~!" ”
Yes, what are you thankful for? Yang Qiuchi heard Liu Ruobing's affection for him from this sentence, and his heart warmed, he really wanted to go over and hug her and kiss her, but he didn't have the heart of this thief but not the courage of this thief.
Yang Qiuchi pressed a pounding heart and asked, "What about later?" ”
"I heard that they arranged for the maids to prepare wine and food and send them to the house, so I took the time to put sweat medicine in the wine and food, so that they could not get it. The three of them used knives to threaten Red Aya, I didn't expect Red Aya to be so strong, slamming into their sharp knives, trying to save their honor with death, which is really admirable. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious. ”
After they took off their clothes, the surname Yao had a seizure, fainted, and the surname Hongyan was fierce, grabbed the fruit knife, stabbed the three of them indiscriminately, killed the three people, and then sat on the ground and cried, and then arranged the scene and shouted for help. I saw that she was safe, and then I left. ”
Yang Qiuchi gave a deep salute again: "Hong Aya didn't know that her sister secretly saved her, Qiu Chi is here to thank her sister for saving her life!" ”
Liu Ruobing sighed: "This girl is admirable, you have to treat her well in the future." Go ahead, I'm going to practice. "Anyway, close your eyes and settle down, and don't pay attention to Yang Qiuchi.
Through the sunlight outside the window, Liu Ruobing's cold and beautiful face was like a summer flower, which made people infinitely reverie, Yang Qiuchi glanced at Liu Ruobing deeply with gratitude, and then withdrew from the room.
