319, the death of Mrs. Jiang

For Xu San's ignorance, Jiang Xuan didn't care at all.

In this way, if the dead man who comes out to confess his sins, if he wants to open his mouth easily, he will not be called a dead man.

I have to say that this Xu Sanchang and Uncle Xu are indeed very similar, not only in their manners and demeanor, but also in their body shape, if they stand there and don't look carefully, everyone will think that it is Uncle Xu.

However, there are still many things that are different.

Although the faces are similar, they are only sevenths, and their hands.

Old Uncle Xu is pampered, and his hands are naturally well maintained, while Xu San's hands, people who practice martial arts, often use weapons, so they have a lot of cocoons on their hands.

It's easy to make the difference.

Jiang Xuan squinted as if he thought of something.

Jiang Xuan asked a few more questions, but he didn't answer, and his attitude was ignorant.

Coming out of the prison, Jiang Chong touched his smooth chin,

"The water of the Xu family is really deep."

Jiang Xuan raised her eyebrows, her father has always been unapologetic about the Xu family, and rarely makes such an exclamation, she couldn't help asking,

"What's the water?"

Jiang Chong did not shy away from his daughter in front of him, and continued,

"Some nobles on the Nanyan side will raise a lot of guards, but each of these guards is similar to the master, and even the voice is exactly the same.

They are more like dead soldiers than guards, and they show their lives when their masters are in danger...... Because they look like their masters, they can use them to deceive the world when it is critical to let them escape. ”

Jiang Xuan thought of Murong Han, he was able to escape at that time, probably because there was such a person around him.

After all, he is also a prince.

The leaves on the tree, she didn't believe that Old Uncle Xu didn't have any flaws at all.

It seems that he still needs to go back and ask Jiang Zhuer about the specific situation at that time.

"Dad, Zhu'er, what do you want to do?"

In the past, when the Xu family was there, Zhu'er accompanied the Xu family to live in Puji Nunnery, and the matter did not spread, and she could still have a future.

But now that it has passed through the lobby of Shuntianfu, what the Xu family has done has been spread, and Zhu'er's identity has become ugly.

The father is unknown, and the son is adulterous.

The most unbearable origin!

As long as there is a little reputation, they will not let such a daughter-in-law enter the door.

Marrying an ordinary person, probably Zhu'er herself is not willing.

Jiang Chong was slightly stunned and asked,

"The Xu family did so many sins back then, not only killed your mother, but also wanted to marry you to someone like Guangyang Mansion."

"Don't you blame Pearl?"

Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and thought about it seriously.

She is not a Guanyin Bodhisattva who can influence the world and purify all sentient beings.

But she's not one to get angry either.

What the Xu family did was the debt of the Xu family.

Jiang Zhu'er, she really didn't think much about her, and even asked her to go to court to testify against Uncle Xu, but she also had the intention of using her.

However, Jiang Zhu'er has fallen to this point now, she can't blame others, and she won't fall into the ground.

She told Jiang Chong her truest thoughts and said, "Dad, she is different from Ju'er, Ju'er is a real innocent person, so I'm willing to think about how Ju'er should go in the future." ”

"But, Zhu'er, I won't help her, and I won't fall into the trap, her future, everything depends on her own choice."

Jiang Chong nodded, "Dad knows, I will think about it, and now I will solve the affairs of the Xu family first." ”

Jiang Xuan has always known that the Xu family is not easy to provoke, and the people of the Xu family are too smart and good at disguise.

The right thing is really a devil that can make people crazy.

It is not so simple to pull the Xu family down.

What she was worried about now was something else.

That is Mrs. Jiang who is locked up in the backyard.

Now it seems that the wind is light, and the evidence of Old Lady Jiang's dereliction of duty in the mechanical depot of the Ministry of War has been obtained, but who knows if Old Uncle Xu has left a hand.

This is also one of the reasons why the Jiang family and the Xu family are endless. Each other grabs each other's handles, either you die or I live.

The nails planted by the Xu family in the Jiang family have not been removed, so Mrs. Jiang is like a firecracker that will be lit at any time.

Can't stay!

In fact, the ending of Mrs. Jiang is already imaginable, either she dies of old age in the small Buddha hall, or she dies of illness.

This is not the era of the future generations, when you can drag your luggage away from your parents by publishing an article in the newspaper and magazine, nor is it an era when parents and children have individual freedom.

When the east left the dynasty, the law emphasized the father's ancestor, and the ritual law emphasized the mother's filial piety.

But if you let your father do it and spread it in the future, it will be unfilial!

Loyalty and filial piety are the world, this is a great sin.

It's just that once the accusation of killing her daughter-in-law and husband spreads, it is normal for Mrs. Jiang to be expelled from the Jiang family and discarded to a mass grave as soon as she dies.

Then there is a sinner mother, grandmother, Jiang family, from father to third uncle to eldest brother, cousins' fame and future, do you still want it?

Even, do you want the future of the next generation of men of the Jiang family?

The mother-in-law killed her daughter-in-law for no reason, but the child passed the mother's place, and the children and grandchildren were not allowed to take the imperial examination.

How could Jiang Xuan let a bedbug-like old lady Jiang affect the future of the men up and down the Jiang family?

She didn't tell Jiang Chong about it.

Bad person, just let her do it.

Originally, the last time her father was imprisoned, Mrs. Jiang didn't come out to jump, and she didn't forget it, but she didn't expect that she would come out with the third wife to disgusting people.

……

In the small Buddha hall in the backyard of the Jiang family, there was a deathly silence, and occasionally the old lady's sharp voice sounded.

Mrs. Jiang went out for less than half a day, and was ruthlessly thrown back to the backyard by the eldest girl.

Those who serve in the small Buddha hall can hear the old lady cursing the big girl every day.

The mother-in-law guarding the door has been able to turn a blind eye to the scolding, and instead takes the scolding as a hypnotic sound.

She was leaning on the kang and napping, there was a knock on the courtyard door outside, she didn't have her shoes on, and she went to open the door in a daze.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Biyun standing at the head of the head, and Jiang Xuan behind her, she didn't feel sleepy, and her knees were so weak that she almost knelt down.

"Big ...... Big...... The big girl ......," the doorkeeper stumbled.

Biyun turned sideways and let Jiang Xuan into the courtyard.

The courtyard was very quiet, Jiang Xuan went directly into Mrs. Jiang's house, compared to the last time they met, Mrs. Jiang lost some weight, and the whole person seemed to be only a skin wrapped around the skeleton.

Seeing Jiang Xuan, Mrs. Jiang had a look of disgust, drooping eyelids, and a sour tone,

"Come and see how depressed I look? I don't know what sins I did in my last life, having a vicious granddaughter like you. ”

Jiang Xuan looked at her for a moment, "Do I still need to see your appearance?" The mothers-in-law who are waiting for you will naturally tell me about your misery.

I am vicious, and I am not as vicious as you, I killed my daughter-in-law and my husband, if I go to court, a poisonous woman like you will not die a hundred times. ”

Old Madam Jiang has a hideous face,

"And what about your granddaughter who threatens her grandmother in all sorts of ways? Going to class? Ha, I said it last time, you don't dare. ”

She stood up and walked in front of Jiang Xuan.

She stretched out her bony hands, "You can only lock me up now, and you can't do anything." ”

She laughed.

Jiang Xuan nodded, "Indeed, we can't do anything, didn't you say that you love your father the most?" ”

"For the sake of my father, I poisoned my grandfather, and for my father, I teamed up with the Xu family to poison us to death and die of anger. Let her die without peace. ”

"Now, then, why don't you die for your father?"

"You know what? Once the news of your killing of your grandfather spreads, what kind of situation will your father, second uncle, third uncle, and your grandchildren fall into? ”

"However, it doesn't make sense to say this to a cold-blooded person like you, if you really think about them, you won't have done so much evil in the first place."

"A selfish person like you, who only has yourself in his heart, how can others consider it?"

"To say that you are a brute, that is an insult to an innocent brute."

Maybe as an elder, she can tolerate any mistake she makes, but only in the matter of harming her children and grandchildren, it is intolerable.

The so-called inheritance of the family is not the expectation of generations of people to be safe and progressive?

An elder who constantly harms people, who can even ignore the happiness of her own son, who knows what else she can do one day?

Jiang Xuan's words smashed into the old lady's ears one by one.

She killed her own mother.

She was clear about Xu's efforts to learn from herself back then, but she just watched coldly.

It's time for her to pay her debts, too.

Jiang Xuan only has one year in her head, she doesn't have to do anything, she wants the old lady to send her life to herself, instead of going to her to get it herself.

This is what the old lady owes her, to her father, and to their family.

Jiang Xuan said a word, and the air in the room seemed to be stagnant, and Mrs. Jiang waited for her, and her arm holding the table softened.

"How are you doing?" Old Madam Jiang glared at Jiang Xuan.

The look on Jiang Xuan's face was as disgusting as her mother's, and she always looked contemptuous, as if no one in this world could escape from the sea of red dust and bitterness except her.

This is a woman as disgusting as Lin Tang.

But now, there was no way for her to tear off the human skin mask on her face.

Why can't she be allowed to stay safe until she is buried in the ground?

She just ruined Lin Tang's life, is it worth her life?

In her life, what she hated the most was Lin Tang, it was Lin Tang who robbed her son, and it was Lin Tang who asked her to kill her husband.

She made it difficult for her to sleep and let her be on her back.

She didn't want to kill her husband, nor did she want to see her son's future ruined.

She wants to live too.

But she also knew that Jiang Xuan was here, and she couldn't live.

Her body went limp, and she muttered and cried.

Jiang Xuan didn't look at the old lady crying anymore, but walked out of the room.

The cold wind blowing outside, just like this weather, slowly warms up, and the days are always getting better and better.

The guard's frightened eyes made her smile indifferently, she was not afraid of others saying that she was hard-hearted or vicious.

People always have to move forward.

……

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The matter of the Jiang and Xu families quickly spread in the capital, some accusing the Xu family, and some sympathizing with the Jiang family.

Everyone looked at the two families with a bit of inquiry.

When he left the hall that day, Liu Qingshan said to the old uncle that before the case was revealed, it was best for the old uncle not to go to court and go back to his house.

Although the old uncle did not go to court, Uncle Xu and Xu Bin are going out, and the daughters of the Xu family are going out to be guests.

Not to mention the female dependents, it is Uncle Xu and Xu Bin father and son, when they went out of the yamen, they used to be surrounded by everyone, but now they are all watching from a distance, as if the people of the Xu family are plagues.

There are even those who married the Xu family and married the girls of the Xu family, and they went home cautiously to ask if the girls who married out of the Xu family were the same as the Xu family.

For a while, the girls who married the Xu family ran back to the Xu family to cry, and they couldn't live their lives.

complained that the family was too hasty with Xu's affairs.

Now that people are dead, they still set off such a big storm.

Jiang Chong was not restricted from going to court, but those colleagues looked at the top of his head with sympathetic eyes.

It's as if there's a green hat there.

Jiang Chong had already expected such an ending before the incident broke out, and he was very calm.

It is time to go up to court, it is time to be on duty, and it is time to train recruits to continue to train recruits.

Everyone saw him so calmly, and when they got to the back, they also felt that he was a tolerant person, and slowly stopped looking at him with strange eyes.

Out of the New Year, another big thing happened in the Jiang family, and it gave a lot of people some after-dinner conversations.

The noble, the old lady of the Zhenbei General's Mansion was stripped of her title in her twilight years.

As for the reason, it was because the old lady was morally corrupt and forced Jiang Chong to marry the Xu family into the door, which caused Jiang Chong, an iron-clad man, to bear a bad name.

As soon as the decree was issued, the capital was in an uproar.

If the title is stripped away, you can't be buried as a command, you can only be buried as a civilian, and you can be buried hastily.

Let those who feel that Jiang Chong's head is green and green never say anything again.

This holy decree clearly put all the charges on Mrs. Jiang's head.

After all, marriage is a big event, the words of the matchmaker.

Jiang Chong is a son, what kind of woman does his mother want him to marry, can he resist it?

Later, an insider said that the Xu family was clearly not a wife, but a flat wife who did not have a family tree, which was not the same as an ordinary room, not even an aunt.

Jiang Chong was unwilling to marry at the beginning, but it was forced by the Xu family and the old lady.

For a while, Mrs. Jiang was sent to the cusp again.

Two days after the holy decree came down, the Jiang family rang the cloud board, and Mrs. Jiang committed suicide!

Swallowed gold and committed suicide, and his death was extremely tragic.

The holy decree was Jiang Xuan's request to Lin Yi to find a way, and as for Mrs. Jiang's suicide, she didn't expect it to come so quickly.

She didn't expect that Old Madam Jiang would take this opportunity to commit suicide.

In this way, it can be said that Mrs. Jiang committed suicide in shame because she was deprived of her title because she was old and angry.

However, externally, Mrs. Jiang died of a sudden illness, after all, she was imprisoned in the small Buddha hall as an excuse to recuperate.

It's just that everyone will think about it in that direction.

It's just that everyone knows it.

The Jiang family held a funeral, because it was buried as a civilian, the funeral was very simple, Jiang Yu in Jinling, and the three old men who were working outside rushed back.

……

The Xu family, Uncle Xu did not go to the court, but he has been in the military department for too many years, and for a while, this stove has not cooled down.

Hearing that Old Madam Jiang was dead, he sneered a few times, and his back molars were sharpened a few times.

In the end, Uncle Xu went to add a gift.

In any case, the enemy is the enemy, but the face that should be done still has to be done.

"This matter, we are doing it too slowly, otherwise, once the old lady's things are spread, Jiang Chong still wants to enjoy sympathy in front of people like this."

Old Uncle Xu knocked on the table, and Xu Wu was replying.

He glanced at him, then lowered his eyes as if he were asleep.

Xu Wu dutifully said, "Old lady, now that the old lady can't do it, what should the Jiang family do?" ”

"I feel that the Jiang family is so calm now, I am afraid that the greater the danger, the emperor can issue a holy decree and protect Jiang Chong so much, but for the matter of the old lady, the emperor has never asked about it at all......"

Old Uncle Xu grabbed the wolf hair on the side, dipped it in ink, and gradually condensed it on the tip of the pen, and finally only left an ink spot on the paper.

"The emperor still suspects me!" He tightened his teeth, and the pen in his hand was slapped on the table.

He got up and paced two steps, saying, "The situation is too passive for me right now. ”

"We have to speed up the progress, what you are asked to do, you have to do quickly.

Also, Xu San's side, why haven't you done it yet? ”

Xu Wu paused, bowed and said, "I haven't found a chance." ”

"No chance, no chance, you're obviously not doing things well, lately, you've been procrastinating on everything, it's not like your style."

"Don't be influenced by Xu San, everyone has their own value, Xu San can only do such things, and you, it's different."

He patted Xu Wu on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

Xu Wu lowered his eyes, and his compliments should be.

He took a deep breath, leaned against the windowsill, and frowned.

"You let the prince contact over there, our Xu family will always find a way out for ourselves."

……

Xu Wu carried the pills confessed by Uncle Xu in his arms, carried wine and food, bribed a servant, and went to the Shuntianfu prison to see Xu San.

Both of them are old men over half a hundred years old, and the two are relatively speechless.

Xu Wu silently poured a glass of wine to Xu San.

Xu San squeezed the wine cup tightly, looked at Xu Wu, and said, "Did I do something wrong?" ”

"What?" Xu Wu didn't know why, "What did you do wrong?" ”

Xu San just smiled bitterly, and then said to Xu Wu, "In the future, if I am gone, you must help me take care of my wife and children." ”

Xu Wu held the handle of the wine jug, trying to squeeze out a trace of embarrassing laughter, but he couldn't squeeze it out.

Coming here at such a time is why anyone can think of it.

Xu San didn't drink, but looked directly at Xu Wu, "Actually, I didn't say anything, Uncle can rest assured." ”

Xu Wu suddenly felt a little unbearable when he heard this, and he also felt a little crying, the old uncle said that he was different from Xu San, what was the difference?

is also a guard who kills and scapegosifies, but the time of death is different.

Perhaps, the execution of Xu San will also give Xu Wu a wake-up call.

Xu San smiled self-deprecatingly, then took the glass of wine in his hand and waved his hand to Xu Wu, "You go, remember what you promised me." Help me take care of my old wife and children. ”

Xu Wu closed his eyes and left.

……

The sky was cloudy, but it was gloomy and gloomy, and there was no appearance of the sun.

Mrs. Jiang's Qiqi has not yet passed, and all the people in the Jiang family are staying at home.

Outside, Jiang Hu, who was beside Jiang Chong, did not look very good and entered the courtyard, and reported outside the door,

"Girl, the general asked his subordinates to tell you that something was wrong."

"That Xu San was poisoned, and he left a confession, saying that everything was done by himself."

Jiang Xuan didn't expect that the Shuntian Mansion could be exploited, Xu San died, and the case was about to be closed.

Jiang Hu probably walked in a hurry, wiped the sweat on his forehead, "The person was replaced by us and sent to the small village in the suburbs, fortunately, the poison was less, and the subordinates poured a lot of mung bean soup into it, and now some poison has been detoxified, and a doctor has been invited, and now the person can be saved, I don't know." ”

As early as that time when Jiang Xuan and Jiang Chong came out, Jiang Xuan asked Jiang Hu to send people to stare at the side of the Shuntian Mansion.

At that time, Lin Yi asked everyone to go back to their respective homes, but how could Uncle Xu let Xu San stay in prison for a long time, he would definitely think of various ways to keep Xu San shut up forever.

After all, no matter how faithful a dead man is, he is not as safe as a dead man is coming.

Finally, after so many days, there are results.

"The corpse over there in the Shuntian Mansion must be guaranteed not to be discovered, but there is no need to be afraid if it is found."

She believes that Lin Yi will make people well.

"Did you track down the person who poisoned Xu San?" Jiang Xuan asked.

Jiang Hu said, "My subordinates sent the best scouts, but they were still lost, and the girl forgives me." ”

Jiang Xuan replied lightly, it was normal to lose it.

At this time, a girl from the second wife's side came in outside, saluted like her, and said,

"Big girl, the emperor came over and said that he wanted to see you."

Why did Lin Yi suddenly want to see her?

Jiang Xuan frowned and asked, "But what did you say?" ”

The girl shook her head, "I just said that you will pass this time, and the carriage that came to pick you up from outside has already arrived at the second gate." ”

Jiang Xuan had a feeling that it was difficult to explain, their marriage had indeed been decided, and men and women were not allowed to see each other before marriage, not to mention, she was now keeping filial piety.

But where is this emperor who talks about the rules?

They don't seem to have seen each other in a long time.

There was just a letter in between.

Jiang Xuan didn't delay, changed into plain clothes, and after sending someone to talk to the second wife, he went out with Biyun and Bilan.

On the other side of the second gate, there was a tall and delicate carriage, on both sides of the carriage were uniformly dressed and standing tall guards, seeing Jiang Xuan, one of them respectfully opened the curtain and said,

"Miss Jiang, please get in the car."

Jiang Xuan got into the carriage and went all the way out of Jiang's house to Lin Yi's side.

It was the direction of Yushu Hutong, but it was not the small courtyard, but in front of a grand mansion not far away.

There is no plaque at the door of the house, and only the words Lin Fu are hung on it.

What outsiders know is that Lin Yi is recuperating in the palace, or he lives in the palace, and few people know that Lin Yi lives in this house.

Jiang Xuan knew that this house was the mansion of a luxurious prince, but later because of the crime, the house was empty.

It turns out that Lin Yi lives here now?

It is indeed very magnificent, even compared with the palace, it is nothing, carved beams and painted columns, marble paving, the mansion is heavily guarded, and there are many guards.

If that prince was also like this at that time, it would not be unusual to be arrested.

This clearly exceeds the prince's regulations, but if the emperor lives, it is still normal.

The door opened, and Chang Yuan walked out of the house, saluting her with a smile, "Girl, the emperor is waiting for you inside." ”

Jiang Xuan knew that Lin Yi was very busy, and suddenly understood why she went to look for him before, whether it was Jinling or the capital, it was rare to see anyone.

It's not that he's out, but because he's the emperor, even if he's no longer sitting in the court, there are still a lot of things.

What's more, he said some time ago that the emperor threw the matter back to him.

In fact, she was a little puzzled, Lin Yi would not look for him for no reason, so what is there to find her today?

Jiang Xuan followed Chang Yuan's guidance, and after entering the house, he saw that the floor was beating inside, and the curtains around him were hanging low, tall and gorgeous.

The shelves in the room are full of rare treasures, which make people's eyes go blind.

She remembered that there was a small courtyard in Cixuanguan and Yushu Hutong, so simple.

This is the house that should be the one who is the lord of the world.

Jiang Xuan walked in further, there was no one in the room, there was a reclining chair by the window, a small table on the side, and a sleeve arrow was placed on the small table.

Jiang Xuan had seen such a sleeve arrow in the frontier, and even she wanted one, but Jiang Chong said that the manufacturing process of this thing was very complicated, and there was not much stock, so she couldn't give it to her.

For this, she was sad for a long time.

Now that I saw it again in Lin Yi's place, I immediately felt very happy, bent down and looked around the sleeve arrow, and then stretched out my hand to fiddle with it.

"Don't move," a familiar, mellow voice came from behind her.

Jiang Xuan was startled, straightened up, and took a step back, but bumped into a broad chest.

The person behind snorted, but still put his arm around her waist, let her stand firm, and whispered in her ear,

"What are you doing?"

His voice was low, and his breath sprayed on Jiang Xuan's neck, tickling.

Jiang Xuan hurriedly turned around and saw Lin Yi looking at her with a smile.

Her waist was still in his hand, her neck was tickling, her heart was beating so fast that she was about to hear her own heartbeat.

She snorted unnaturally, "Why are you suddenly standing behind someone else?" ”

There's a sentence that hasn't been spoken, it's scary, okay!

Lin Yi smiled, naturally withdrew the hand on her waist, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Then why did you suddenly move my things." ”

She just picked it up and looked at it, and who knew he would suddenly show up.

He was the one who called someone over, but he didn't wait for her here.

Lin Yi walked to the side of the small table, crossed her body, took away the sleeve arrow on the table, and put the sleeve arrow in a high place out of her reach, and said softly,

"You can't play with this danger."

Jiang Xuan was speechless, she was not a child.

She'd played with Hidden Arrows before, but she just hadn't been able to own one.

She was not convinced, so she raised her eyebrows, "You take that down, let's have a game to see who can win, okay?" ”

She thought he was teasing herself, so she naturally wanted to provoke her.

Lin Yi chuckled, the little girl still knew the provocation, so she said, "Do you know how much silver this little sleeve arrow will waste?" ”

Jiang Xuan tilted his head, "How much?" ”

"It has to cost a thousand taels." He smiled.

I still want to use this to blind her, hmph, at that time, Jiang Chong tried to dispel her thoughts, but he told her how to make this sleeve arrow and which part would cost silver.

"A thousand taels!" She stretched her tone, as if she was smiling, "It's really going to be so expensive, fortunately I didn't play, and I'm going to break it, so I can only smash the pot and sell iron." ”

"You're not trying to blackmail me, are you?"

Lin Yi saw the little girl looking at him with sparkling eyes, originally he just wanted to tease the little girl, so many things had happened during this time. I wanted her to relax, but I didn't expect the little girl to seem to understand, and she had to challenge him.

He beckoned to her, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, looking relaxed, "You come with me." ”

Then he walked towards Nishijima.

As he walked, he arrived, "Where do you need to smash the pot and sell iron to accompany you, do you know how much silver I gave you for 180 dowry gifts?" ”

"I've sent you so many things, and I'm going to blackmail you?"

Jiang Xuan followed behind him, looking at his tall and broad figure, with an indescribable meaning in his heart.

Lin Yi was actually really good to her, he tried his best to tease her, and besides, the thing of the Hidden Arrow was actually very confidential, but he was not angry when she provoked him.

After entering the western room, Lin Yi motioned for Jiang Xuan to sit down, and asked Chang Yuan to serve tea.

"What are you looking for me for?"

Jiang Xuan asked him.

Lin Yi leaned back in the chair, looked at Jiang Xuan gently, and said, "I just want you to come out and relax, I can't take you to a far place, I can only let you come here." ”

"In the past few days, I have finally helped Xiao Jiu deal with things, so I want to call you out."

Jiang Xuan didn't expect him to call herself, this is the matter, she pursed her lips, "Thank you." ”

Lin Yi sighed slightly, and then said, "There is indeed one more thing I want to ask you." ”

He put down the blue and white porcelain tea bowl in his hand and looked at Jiang Xuan with a straight face.

Jiang Xuan's gaze, which originally fell on the entire wall of books opposite, moved to Lin Yi, wanting to hear what he said.
