Chapter 36: Accidents
Jiang Xiaoyu slept very sweetly, and when she woke up, it was already cold, she got up and saw Yan Yan dozing beside her, she couldn't help but be slightly startled, and asked, "Yan Yan, why don't you go to bed here to rest?" ”
"Miss, are you awake? Don't sleep anymore? Yan Yan yawned lightly, and immediately got up and brought over a bowl of bird's nest porridge on the table, "It's still hot!" Miss, should she be hungry? I slept without dinner last night, and the slave was afraid that the young lady would be hungry when she woke up, so she waited here! ”
"Silly girl!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, lifted the quilt and got up, "If I'm hungry, I'll call people!" ”
"I'm afraid Miss will wait!" Yanyan scratched her hair and laughed a little shyly.
Jiang Xiaoyu washed up briefly, while eating the bird's nest brought by Yan Yan, while listening to Mama Qian talk to herself about last night's incident, and finally she said with some resentment: "I didn't expect so many things to happen, the old lady almost died, and the old man just drove her out of the Jiang Mansion, it stands to reason that she should not be so lenient when she did such a thing!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu ate the bird's nest cleanly, handed the empty bowl to Yan Yan, wiped his mouth leisurely, and said with an indifferent smile: "You can't just look at the surface of things, the fourth aunt is alive, there should be a reason for her to live, and I am tantamount to killing them all, this method is quite popular with me, and it is a lot cleaner in front of me, it seems that the things in everyone's hearts are really similar!" ”
She got up and walked to the window, looking at the peach blossoms in the yard, I don't know how desperate my mother was, the fourth aunt may have experienced a thing or two now? Sometimes it's not necessarily better to live than to die.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, in addition to a fourth aunt, there was also a great god who had to move, but after a while, Jiang Mansion should have a good show to watch!
"By the way, the slave has heard a lot of people praising Miss for your filial piety since this morning!" Yan Yan's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Everyone says that among the old lady's grandchildren, I'm afraid that only Miss can do it to the point where you don't care about your own life and death!" ”
Since Jiang Xiaoyu recovered, he has been pressing the fourth aunt's mother and daughter step by step, and the image of the fourth aunt's mother and daughter in the house was still quite good before, so Jiang Xiaoyu has been suffering from the notoriety of the villain's ambition to bully the good, and now because of what the fourth aunt's brother did, it has spread in the Jiang Mansion, and at the same time, the image that the fourth aunt has always maintained collapsed, and public opinion has also turned to Jiang Xiaoyu.
Although she doesn't care much about other people's evaluations of herself, things like image and public opinion can be guided and shaped, and it doesn't matter which is true or false, but seeing that the fourth aunt who has been selling her reputation has also been ruined by someone one day, her heart is still a little dark.
After a leisurely morning day, Jiang Xiaoyu took a few people out of the house, and there was a good show today that I couldn't miss. She changed into men's clothes today, because she was thin and small, and her face was dish-like, she really didn't look chic and handsome at all, even if she was mixed in the men's pile, she was just an inconspicuous teenager.
Today's trial of the murder case that occurred in the Pingjin Hou Mansion, the previous few times because of various evidence, the Pingjin Hou Mansion has always planned to convict the housekeeper, and the housekeeper also pleaded guilty, but recently encountered new evidence.
Yan Shuhang, the eldest son of Yan Guogong, rescued a prostitute who was being hunted down and captured the killer, who was interrogated at the behest of the Pingjin Marquis.
The prostitute also identified a turtle in the Yangliu Pavilion who was hunted down and killed by the people of the Pingjin Hou Mansion, and the reason why the killed turtle was killed was because he had been selling a * to the Pingjin Hou Mansion for a long time, and Wang'er, who came to buy * medicine every half a month, was the son of the housekeeper.
But she also recognized in the court that the person who buys the * medicine will definitely not be a housekeeper, and the * is very valuable, which he can afford as a housekeeper.
Second, although it can be excited, maintaining the vitality of youth, but the difference with the general aphrodisiac is that its effect is too strong and has a strong side effect, that is, people look energetic, but they will become thinner and thinner, and Wang'er has been buying * medicine for several years, if it is really a housekeeper to take, the housekeeper will definitely not be now sluggish, the brain is full of fat appearance! And when she once performed in the Pingjin Hou Mansion, she saw the Pingjin Hou once, and she knew that she must have taken that kind of * by looking at his appearance.
And the Marquis of Pingjin has been a fairy wind in recent years, and there are few concubines in the house, so why have you been taking *? Why chase and kill innocent people because of a steward who has already confessed his sins?
Although the Pingjin Hou Mansion has never come forward, but public opinion has once again set off a storm, the three words Pingjin Hou are now equivalent to scum, and the families of those victims are kneeling in front of the yamen every day, and there are other hidden facts in the case, demanding a thorough investigation and justice.
Under pressure, Fu Yin sent someone to the Hou Mansion to ask the Hou Ye to come and ask for an explanation, but he couldn't punish the doctor, he said that he couldn't come when he was sick, and he couldn't forcibly tie people up, but he just came to a concubine who was not very valued to explain the situation.
"In fact, no matter what the rumors are, although taking * will make the face disgraced, it can't be verified, not to mention that even if Hou Ye takes *, how can it be related to the deceased?" Zhao Yan touched his chin and asked suspiciously, although this was the first step for them to fight back against the three princes, but most of his thoughts were still on the government, this matter was basically arranged by Zhao Ling, so he was puzzled in his heart, the seemingly simple case turned out to be full of twists and turns, and he was free today, so he simply came to see where the case would develop.
"What's the hurry!" Zhao Ling picked up his wine glass and smiled confidently, "Actually, the Marquis of Pingjin is now ruined, and there is no way to continue to hold the position of patriarch, he is basically a person who does not pose any threat to us now, as for what will be his consequences, and what will be the impact on us?" At most, his eldest son was reprimanded and dismissed by His Majesty! ”
"Then the justice of those dead girls doesn't have to be taken back? Do you just let him get away with it? Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily.
"What are you throwing at me?" Zhao Ling smiled, "Don't worry, I am reluctant to let go of such a piece of fat easily, since it has reached this point, I should always give the people in the capital a little more after-dinner conversation, but now the third child has not moved at all, and the show is still to come!" ”
"What else are you worried about about the things arranged by Xiao Ling?" Lin Xuan, who was dressed in white, stood at the window and looked coldly at the movement of the yamen below, "I don't know what will happen in the future, but now...... But there's a good show begins! Come and see, who is that man? ”
What Lin Xuan said was mysterious, so that Zhao Yan and Zhao Ling were interested, and they came to the window and looked down, only to see the crowd below to see the lively crowd, Zhao Ling saw the person in the crowd at a glance, but Zhao Yan still looked puzzled, and it was only thanks to Lin Xuan's explanation that he recognized the person.
He already looked at Jiang Xiaoyu unpleasantly, and pouted: "What is she here to make a fuss?" A woman should be raised in a deep boudoir, and she shows up like her, and she dresses up as a man, what kind of body has she become! ”
"I think it's cute?" Zhao Ling said with a smile, "Don't look down on her all the time, one day she will surprise you!" ”
"I agree with that!" Lin Xuan nodded and said, "This girl is indeed not an ordinary woman, if one day she really does something earth-shattering, I won't be surprised at all!" ”
"I think you're all demonic!" Zhao Yan snorted, "What earth-shattering things can a woman do?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu mixed in the crowd, looking coldly at the movement above the court, but he didn't expect that he would become someone else's scenery.
I saw that above the public court, there was a poor woman kneeling, listening to the people next to her, this woman was the prostitute Hongxiu of Yangliu Pavilion, and there was a man standing next to her, this person was Jiang Weiran who came from Pingjin Houfu, about twenty, his eyebrows were dark, his eyes were a little gloomy, and there was a middle-aged man who was a little obese, and that man should be the housekeeper of Pingjin Houfu.
Hongxiu said all her suspicions, even if it could not be proved that Pingjin Hou had anything to do with the death of those girls, it was always time to explain the matter of sending someone to hunt down Hongxiu and her mistress.
Everyone was waiting for Jiang Weiran to deny everything completely, and then shut up and wait for the master to perform, but beyond everyone's expectations, Jiang Weiran suddenly said: "After the incident, after my investigation, the killer is indeed a nursing home sent by the Hou Mansion!" The day before the incident, my father had seen him alone! ”
As soon as his voice fell, the scene was in an uproar, Fu Yin was surprised, and asked tentatively: "Jiang Gongzi, do you know what you are talking about?" ”
The master was also very surprised, and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Weiran's arm and said, "Fourth prince, didn't you have any misunderstanding?" If you don't know, leave it all to you! ”
Jiang Weiran glanced at him, shook his hand away, and said in a cold voice, "What don't you know? It's just that I know the inside story that I feel that I can't carry my conscience! Do you think I'm so good, in my heart, my father has always been a worldly master, do you know how painful my heart is when I know that he actually did these things that are not as good as beasts? ”
The master persuaded with an embarrassed face: "Fourth son, don't talk about it quickly, if you keep talking, things will be difficult!" ”
"Shut up!" Jiang Weiran shouted, he glanced at the families of the victims outside the yamen, "Look at them, look at their appearance, those words that violate your conscience, do you still say them?" ”
He paused and continued to say bitterly: "Two years ago, I saw with my own eyes in a side courtyard in my house...... It was the place where my father usually made pills, and no one was allowed to trespass, but I saw two corpses carried out from it, I didn't think much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that those are the children who were victimized! Go check it out, there's probably a body buried in that yard! ”
