318, implicated
After listening to Old Uncle Xu's words, Jiang Zhu'er just looked at him quietly.
The eyes of the ancestors and grandchildren collided together, and Old Uncle Xu understood the hatred in Jiang Zhu'er's eyes, and was suddenly shocked.
He always thought that Jiang Zhuer had been pampered by the Xu family since she was a child, and she had always been so flamboyant and domineering, so her brain must not be very good.
Why did Jiang Ju separate from their mother and daughter and take refuge on Jiang Xuan's side, wasn't it because Jiang Zhu'er's temperament was too poisonous?
But at this moment, the hatred in her eyes let him know that she didn't say anything, she really hated!
She will be planning to send the Xu family to the cusp and let the Xu family fall into disrepute.
She really heard all the conversations he had with his daughter, and she knew that she was not the child of the first emperor.
Uncle Xu has been cunning for decades, and at this moment, his back was covered with fine and dense sweat.
He was bitter in his mouth, one wrong step, one wrong step.
Now he is like a captive beast, a black cloth that has been stripped away, and he is being pointed at and watched.
He thought that this was the most decisive thing Jiang Zhu'er could do, but he was wrong, only to see Jiang Zhu'er raise his hand, and his hoarse voice was hoarse and harsh.
"There are gods three feet above the head, today in front of the Qingtian Lord in the hall, and in front of the emperor, the little girl solemnly swears that what the little girl said is all true, if there is a lie, the sky thunders, and it will not be good to die, and the intestines will rot."
"I'm not the daughter of the Jiang family, and I don't dare to insult the Jiang family.
But a woman is in the world, and without a portal, it is like a rootless duckweed, and I dare not ask for the Xu family. ”
She took out a handful of scissors from her bosom and grabbed them in her hands, and everyone in the hall was startled.
Jiang Chong even leaned forward faintly, wanting to block Lin Yi's approach.
I saw Jiang Zhu'er grab the long hair tied at the back of her head, and when she cut it down, the long hair fell off.
"From now on, whether the little girl is alive or dead, sick or disaster, has nothing to do with the Xu family."
She grabbed her long cut hair and looked at Uncle Xu resolutely.
What she means by cutting her hair is that she would rather become a monk and be a drifter than have anything to do with this world.
Out of this mortal world, to this mortal womb, her future everything, only the Buddha, Tianzun can control.
Jiang Xuan opened his mouth lightly and didn't say anything, just sighed in his heart.
She didn't expect Jiang Zhu'er to be so decisive, Uncle Xu's words clearly meant that he had a backhand, but as soon as Jiang Zhuer's words came out, no matter what Uncle Xu's backhand was, finding someone to help him prove his alibi would greatly reduce the authenticity.
Jiang Zhu'er swore to the gods that she would rather break off her righteousness than have anything to do with the Xu family.
Family is very important to anyone, family is the foundation of life, Jiang Zhuer would rather give up the backing of Uncle Zhongyi, but also testify against Uncle Xu.
The veracity of her words added three more points.
Old Uncle Xu looked at Jiang Zhu'er, who was standing alone in the hall, this was his daughter's blood and bones.
But he never seemed to know this granddaughter.
The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes.
Sure enough, he still fell for Jiang Xuan's trap!
He saw that he was about to return to his hometown.
If today's scandal spreads, the impact of his years of careful management will be damaged.
When the time comes, everyone will look at him with three points of suspicion.
Old Uncle Xu's face was heavy and gray.
Lin Yi's face was different from coldness, and he nodded his chin to Uncle Xu, "What do you say?" ”
Old Uncle Xu said, "The emperor forgives his ministers for being rude, and the ministers ...... that day."
There was a sound of drumming outside the hall of the mansion, Liu Qingshan stood up and motioned to the head catcher on the side to take a look.
When he returns, he must ask his wife to give him a lot of incense, and let the master of Izumo Temple give him the red pants.
It's really a bad year.
Before a big case could be solved here, the drums outside sounded again......
Suddenly, his head grew a little bigger.
I saw that not long after the head catcher went out, his face was shocked, and an old man came in after him, hanging his head.
looks like the figure is similar to Uncle Xu.
After the catcher came in, he arched his hand to Liu Qingshan and said, "My lord, the person beating the drum outside is related to this case in the hall, and he said that he turned himself in......"
The head catcher was a little speechless, and he stood at Liu Qingshan's table after he finished his report.
The old man who came in slowly raised his head at this time, and a face appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone looked incredulous, and the face in front of them was clearly seven points similar to Uncle Xu.
"The girl was killed by a child, and it has nothing to do with the old lady." The old man knelt in front of the hall and said slowly, his voice was the same as that of Old Uncle Xu.
It's just creepy.
"Impossible." Jiang Zhu'er shouted, although the person in front of her looked like Uncle Xu, but it was definitely not him that night.
"It's clearly not your ......"
Old Uncle Xu's hands trembled, the old tears were crissling, he gritted his teeth, pointed at the old man and said, "Xu San, I didn't expect it...... Why are you doing this...... You know how much I love Chan'er, Xu San, you are digging my heart, liver and flesh. ”
Xu San kowtowed to him,
"The little one doesn't want the girl to bother you anymore, for the sake of the girl, you had a bad relationship with the Jiang family who was originally good friends more than ten years ago.
You have been cleaning up the mess for her all these years, what should the Xu family do once the news of the girl's loss of virginity before marriage spreads? ”
"The little one has been with you for a lifetime, I don't want you to be sad about this matter anymore, I can't sleep at night, how many people have you offended for the girl over the years.
The little one doesn't want you to be wise all your life, just because the girl ruined it.
So, the little one pretended to be you and went to Puje-an......"
Next, he told the story of the killing in more detail than Jiang Zhu'er described.
He kowtowed three times to Jiang Zhu'er with a sobbing sound, and his forehead became red and swollen.
"Cousin, it's all a small fault, the little one should be damned, please don't blame the old lady, it's the little one who made his own decisions and made a murderous intention...... The little one is willing to make amends to the girl......"
Jiang Zhu'er is a little girl in the end, and the courage she just saved has been lost at this moment.
She muttered, "Reparation? What qualifications do you have to make amends for my sins? Can you make amends to bring my mother back to life? Will your reparation keep me from being displaced in the future? ”
Her voice grew louder and louder, and her expression became more and more strange.
"You cowards, you don't dare to admit that you killed someone, how miserable my mother is, you wolf-hearted ......"
She raised her eyes, the bottom of her eyes was scarlet, she was still holding the scissors she had just touched out to cut her hair, she raised her hand,
"Aren't you going to make amends? Then you go and die. ”
Jiang Xuan's location is not far from Jiang Zhu'er, she knows that Jiang Zhu'er has an addiction to hibiscus cream, this thing has a seizure, coupled with a stimulus from the outside world, people will become very crazy.
She was afraid that Jiang Zhu'er would become crazy in the lobby, and in that case, she would no longer be able to count what she said.
Jiang Xuan stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed Jiang Zhu'er's hand holding the scissors, held her tightly, and whispered in his ear,
"Calm down, don't forget your mother's hatred, you have to settle accounts with the real murderer......"
Old Uncle Xu's face was full of tears, and he fell into sadness and couldn't extricate himself......
Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows and watched Old Uncle Xu act.
In this world, if you don't know how to act, you really have no way to live.
In the past, I had to go to the opera garden to listen to the opera singing, but today, it is a living big play.
Who would have thought that the old uncle of the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion would sing and fight like this, and he did everything?
She believed what Jiang Zhu'er said, the real murderer must be Uncle Xu, but she didn't expect him to have such a complete backhand.
Although Xu San's reason is far-fetched, where is there justice for those who kill people? If you want to kill, kill it.
If this is really the case, then Old Uncle Xu's heart is really dirty and terrible.
She continued to appease Jiang Zhu'er, and Jiang Zhu'er's originally manic heart slowly calmed down under her comfort.
She grabbed Jiang Xuan's hand tightly and looked at Uncle Xu with hatred.
"Zhu'er, your mother is my favorite daughter, how could I kill her...... How do I get started? You must have been dazzled with fear, and you saw Xu San as me.
I don't blame you, good boy, your mother is gone, don't say those words of kindness, go home with your grandfather, as long as you go home, it's still that good boy......"
Uncle Xu said every word so affectionately, as if he would not blame her at all, but pity her.
Jiang Xuan sighed secretly in her heart, she didn't expect that there would be such a brazen person in this world.
is still such a complete hypocrite, a real villain.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan turned his head to look at Lin Yi......
Lin Yi originally looked at Xu San's gaze on her, smiled at her, and signaled her to be calm.
Despite this, the haze in her heart has not dissipated.
Uncle Xu, it's even deeper hidden than you imagined.
Today, the hall is linked with one ring, he seems to have a prophet, no matter what kind of trick he makes, he has a back hand waiting.
However, this did not frustrate Jiang Xuan, but stimulated the desire to win in her heart.
Liu Qingshan glanced at Lin Yi, patted the shocked wood, and asked Xu San,
"Since it was you who killed Xu, and you also said it in detail, then, let me ask you, what did Xu write on the paper when she talked about the life history of a pair of twins?"
It's a question that everyone in the hall wants to know.
Uncle Xu had a jade pendant as proof, saying that the child belonged to the first emperor, but Jiang Zhuer denied this statement, saying that Xu's paper was written 'King of the West'......'
Throughout the entire Lin Dynasty, and even the previous dynasty, there has never been a prince with the title of 'King of the West'.
Or the word 'west' in the title.
Then, since Xu San said that the interlocutor was him, and the person who saw the paper was also him, he must know who was written on Xu's paper!
Xu Sanwu body delivered, with his face on the floor, "It's about the cousin girl who was dazzled and misunderstood, and our girl didn't write with Western characters at all......"
"What's that......" Liu Qingshan asked.
Jiang Zhu'er only felt that her brain was full of thunderbolts, and the original good accusation came to a big reversal, and the accusation she let out, not only could the murderer not get the punishment she deserved, but even what she said was questioned.
It's like a dream has collapsed, and it's like a piece of jade shattering from it.
She's going crazy!
She quickly broke free from Jiang Xuan's control, and roared in a hoarse voice,
"You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense...... It's the ...... Why did you wronged me?
"Why are you splashing dirty water on my head, I just want to avenge my mother......"
"Mother said, the Xu family has raised dead soldiers, what's the difference between one or two people who are similar to you? They're your stand-ins. It's the one who died in your place. ”
Old Uncle Xu couldn't wait to strangle Jiang Zhu'er at this moment, and he regretted his carelessness that day, and let Jiang Zhu'er escape.
The Xu family raised the dead, but they were still exposed by their own family.
Even if it's a married girl, the credibility is 100%.
The dead soldier, who doesn't raise this thing if he has a foundation? The key is not to put it on the face of it.
Raising the dead, who do you want to die?
Lin Yi couldn't help but have a smile on his face, this look was very scary.
Uncle Xu's back was sweating more and more, kneeling down and kowtowing,
"The Guilty ......"
Not a word of justification.
Lin Yi just asked Uncle Xu to kneel and didn't wake up, it was hard for him to see that Uncle Xu of such an age was being pitted by his own family to death or alive.
Such a shrewd person, who has never gone wrong in his life, is famous for not leaving his hands, such a person who can't grasp the handle is stunned by his daughter and granddaughter.
Today, even if Old Uncle Xu can get rid of his crimes, it will be a big injury.
Jiang Xuan's understanding of Jiang Zhu'er has been refreshed again.
She thought it was a stupid one, but she didn't expect it to be a ruthless one.
Thousands of wrongs were in her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.
The blood kept gushing up, up, and she couldn't press it even if she wanted to, and the whole person was out of control.
What to do with her mother's death? She couldn't let her die in vain.
Jiang Xuan saw that Jiang Zhu'er's face was becoming more and more hideous, and it was clear that she was about to lose control and become crazy.
She secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good, she couldn't let Jiang Zhu'er go crazy on the spot, otherwise her previous efforts would be wasted.
She looked anxiously at Lin Yi, and the only one here who could stop everything was him.
Hopefully he can see his eyes clearly.
Lin Yi remembered what Jiang Xuan told him about what would become of people after eating too much hibiscus cream.
Seeing Jiang Xuan's pleading little eyes again, he suddenly understood, and said with a cold face,
"Liu Aiqing, for the time being, this suspect who beat the drum and surrendered himself will be put in prison first, and the trial will be retried at a later date, and the others will go home and wait for summons and questioning.
As for this pearl girl, Ah Xuan, you first bring it back and take care of it. ”
Jiang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly.
……
Old Uncle Xu returned to the house tired, and he didn't have time to comfort his crying old wife, so he went to the study.
He sat in front of the bookcase in a daze, thinking about everything in the hall, and sighed secretly.
Everything was disrupted.
The identity of Jiang Zhu'er's sister and brother not only failed to be recognized by the royal family, but also left a bad impression on the emperor.
A dark shadow suddenly flashed behind him,
"Old lady, the prince is back and wants to see you."
"Xu San." Old Uncle Xu suddenly muttered.
The black shadow was slightly stunned, and then looked at Old Uncle Xu in astonishment, "Old lady, my subordinate is Xu Wu." ”
Old Uncle Xu was stunned, rubbed his eyebrows, and then sobered himself up, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Xu Wu said in a low voice, "It's the prince who has come back from Puji Nunnery." I want to see you. ”
"I don't want to see him for the time being, let him go back first." Old Uncle Xu said slowly.
For some reason, Xu Wu felt that the old lady in front of him was familiar and unfamiliar.
The strangeness made him creepy and cold-blooded.
Those of them who work as guards, in the eyes of their masters, are actually very cheap.
Guilt, murder...... Every dirty thing needs them to do.
When the masters needed it, they had to give their lives out.
Not worth a penny.
It doesn't matter if they are worthless, but the uncle, the girl (Xu's), and the prince (Xu Bin), these relatives, are still worthless in the eyes of the old lady.
Thinking of the aftermath of him and Shizi going to clean up and seeing the tragic death of the girl, he couldn't help but shudder.
He asked worriedly, "Old lady, what should Xu San do?" ”
He went to apologize for the old lady's guilt.
Old Uncle Xu slowly closed his eyes.
Every head of the Xu family has several secret guards by his side, and Xu San has been waiting by his side since he was young.
His body shape is similar to his own, although his voice is different on weekdays, but Xu San will imitate his voice.
If it was night, Xu San changed into his clothes and spoke in his tone, absolutely no one could tell whether it was him or Xu San.
Originally, he had already dealt with everything in this matter, and it would not affect him even a little.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Xu San was put in.
His eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't grasp what was wrong.
From beginning to end, from top to bottom, he brushed it down one by one, except for the sudden appearance of the Emperor Taishang, every other one can be right.
He killed Chan'er and blamed Jiang Xuan, he didn't expect to convict Jiang Xuan, as long as he could disgust the Jiang family.
Even Jiang Xuan's response and self-help later, he could imagine it.
This is already some superficial problems, whether it is Liu Qingshan or any capable official to try it, Jiang Xuan can get rid of suspicion.
As for Jiang Zhu'er, who appeared later, it was really unexpected by him, if it was said that the appearance of the emperor was just a little sudden. Then Jiang Zhu'er's appearance made him completely fall into a passive situation.
What Jiang Xuan started to do was to confuse him, just to go to Jiang Zhu'er and give him a fatal blow.
If he hadn't been prepared, maybe he wouldn't have been able to return to the Daoist Mansion in good condition today.
There are probably people who eat prison food.
He thought about it again and again, and always felt that something was wrong there.
Is this really Jiang Xuan's handiwork arranged by himself?
Is there really no one to help?
If someone helps...... Isn't it the emperor?
Now, his words will not have any impact on the overall situation, Xu San...... Xu San......
"Can't stay." Old Uncle Xu straightened his cuffs and said casually.
He said it very casually, as if he had pinched an ant to death.
Old Uncle Xu stood up, "I'm going to retreat, you watch here, don't let people in." ”
He didn't look at Xu Wu's face, "The good things I told you, do them well, Old Five, don't let me down......"
It was getting dark, and the room was dim and yellow, not lit by oil lamps, not so bright.
Xu Wu lowered his eyes, burying his emotions in this gloomy, and he said softly,
"My subordinates know."
Since he was a child, he has been trained.
Guards like them must do it, their joy and anger are invisible, and they can never let outsiders know what is going on in their hearts.
Even if they dislike a person, they can greet each other with a smile.
It's just that Xu Wu never thought that one day he would ,...... It will be used in such a place.
Can Xu San only wait for death?
So what is the difference between his future fate and Xu San?
The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.
……
After Lin Yi came out of the Shuntian Mansion, he directly instructed Chang Yuan, "Tell Bai Ying that only a quarter of the manpower will be left, and all the others will be sent, and the people of the Xu family will not change shifts for twelve hours."
Including the female dependents! ”
Chang Yuan got the order and sent the news to the white shadow.
Lin Yi went straight to the palace, Xiao Yue saw his solemn face, knowing that he had gone to the Shuntian Mansion, he couldn't help but think, could it be that the pair of twins of the Xu family was really Xiao Yi's children?
He clearly heard his biological mother Ji say that she had drugged Xiao Yi, so it was impossible for such a thing to happen.
Lin Yi gave the jade pendant to Xiao Yue and asked him if he had any impressions.
Xiao Yue looked at it and shook his head, he had never seen this jade pendant, when Xiao Yi was Emperor Yongping, he had no such jade pendant by his side.
"I haven't seen it before, why don't you ask Yu Sheng, who is now raised outside the palace?"
Lin Yi smiled slightly, saying no, "It's normal that you haven't seen it, even I have seen this jade pendant for the first time in more than ten years." ”
"It's just my father's, and then I don't know what happened."
He put the jade pendant in his hand and rubbed it to play.
"This jade pendant is not a forgery, when I was a child, I played with my father, and this jade pendant was thrown by me at that time, and a little skin was broken on this horn."
As he spoke, he pointed it out to Xiao Yue, "This, no one knows except me." ”
"Xu Ye told me that this jade pendant was given by the first emperor, but no matter who it is, it is impossible to give birth to that pair of twins."
This jade pendant is real! So this person behind the scenes is inextricably linked to the palace and the royal family.
Who is it?
West King ...... Who is it?
Xiao Yue thought for a while, "Could it be that when the emperor's uncle went to the expedition, he lost this jade pendant, and then I don't know who framed ...... with this jade pendant that I don't know where I got it?"
No matter what, as long as this jade pendant is revealed and the matter is revealed, when the time comes, it will trigger a series of unpredictable consequences in the court.
The chaos in the court and the instability of the people's hearts are what the people behind the scenes want.
What's more, it is Xiao Yue who is now in power, and he is not surnamed Lin, once it is said that a pair of children of the Xu family recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, the girl is fine, she will be crowned a princess, and a rich dowry can be sent away.
But the son ...... That's a lot to say.
This Xiao Yue is on the throne because of Lin Yi's Zen position, once Lin Yi still has a younger brother, will he be willing?
is also surnamed Lin, and he has a share in the family business, although he says that there is only one throne, is he not instigated by someone with a heart.
Xiao Yue and Lin Yi also thought of this problem.
Coupled with the recent incident of Puji'an, all of a sudden, they felt that everything could be connected.
Even now, there is no indication that the Xu family has anything to do with this incident, and even their family is still a victim on the surface.
"The Xu family has been operating in the DPRK for many years, Xu Ye is the secretary of the military department, and he is in charge of power, and the forces involved behind him are both complex and deep.
This matter is either not moving, or it is going to be fatal with one blow. ”
Xiao Yue said.
Lin Yi knocked on the table and suddenly fell, "It's all meticulous work, one is to dismantle the Xu family's friends carefully, the second is to find the source of those poisons, the third is to carefully strip the power in the hands of the Xu family, and the fourth is to add resistance to the Xu family's plan." ”
"Big brother, you told me that the lady surnamed Xu of General Zhenbei was contaminated with Hibiscus ointment, right?
Didn't she say she had a source there? Have you checked this? ”
Lin Yi shook his head, in the past two days, things have been going one by one, but he has already sent someone to check the Xu family's house in Puji Nunnery, and I don't know if there will be anything to find out.
If not, it seems that the Jiang Zhu'er girl still has to be used, after all, she stayed in the nunnery with the Xu family, and she should know the ladies who corresponded with the Xu family!
As long as you know one, you can find out along the vine.
Puji'an stopped supplying vegetarian food after it was lost, and the third courtyard no longer prevented people from entering.
Their people had gone in, and there was nothing, but it was the same place to drink tea and chat as the second one.
The fact that the transfer is so fast shows that the people behind the scenes are alert.
This makes it difficult for them to find the source of the poison.
Now, all hope can only be placed on Jiang Zhu'er.
Originally, they could investigate the female dependents who entered the Puji Nunnery, but there were too many people, and if the slightest rumor leaked, the people behind the scenes who were angry would fight back, and the entire court and even the world might be affected.
Lin Yi put his hand in his sleeve, and his eyes fell on the tea soup in front of him, he should still go to see Ah Xuan.
Her knowledge of the poison seemed to be very deep, and if it weren't for her, Puji'an would still be serving vegetarian food until now, and I don't know how many people were addicted to the poison.
At this time, Jiang Xuan was discussing with Jiang Chong and went to the Shuntian Mansion to meet Xu San, who had apologized for Uncle Xu.
She is convinced that what Jiang Zhu'er said is true, through the death of the Xu family, the Xu family and the Jiang family, either you die or I live.
She asked Jiang Zhu'er to settle down, so she went to Jiang Chong, and after saying that it was a good relationship, Jiang Chong thought for a moment and took Jiang Xuan to the Shuntian Mansion.
Jiang Xuan didn't know what Jiang Chong told Liu Qingshan, in short, after they got the token, they went to the prison without any hindrance.
Jiang Xuan stepped on the stenching water, followed behind Jiang Chong, and shuttled through the prison.
Jiang Chong stood still, and Jiang Hu raised the oil lamp behind him, and Jiang Xuan saw the face similar to that of Old Uncle Xu.
"Xu San......" Jiang Xuan's voice was as crisp as a yellow bird.
When the people in the prison heard someone calling him, they suddenly became too dirty, and they saw Jiang Xuan looking at him with a smile.
He looked indifferently, then withdrew his gaze and leaned against the wall, not saying a word.
"I know you didn't kill people." Jiang Xuan said again.
The man inside still didn't say a word, just leaned there, staring out of the small window above with empty eyes.
