181 Choices of Human Nature
If one day, go away with him like this, it will be happy.
The corners of her lips curled into a smile, and then disappeared in an instant. There was a cold chill in his eyes.
The family members sent by the samurai that day were all dismissed by the samurai. Although the government listed the names of those people according to Wu Wentai's confession and ordered them to be sent to various places for arrest, those people were scattered everywhere, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Don't the seventeen family members who died in the Song Mansion need to ask for this blood debt?
Just executing the father and son of the martial family, this account is too light.
Since this account is not equal, then use other ways to make everything fair. Doesn't the samurai family have a lot of wealth? Why not compensate those who died?
I saw the mansion of the martial arts family from a distance, which was more than five times larger than the Song Mansion.
The high steps, the majestic stone lions, the huge lanterns, and the gilded gates all show wealth.
It's just that, at the moment, all this looks extremely bleak. The door was closed, and the doorman sat on the stone steps in front of him with a blank gaze, as if he wanted to get away from the quarrel or crying that was taking place inside the gate.
Yu Qiao got out of the carriage and walked over, and the doorman saw that someone was coming, so he stood up.
Yu Qiao said: "If you go in and report, you will say that someone from the Song Mansion is coming." ”
She's not here to fight for their lives, it's always the case.
When the doorman heard this, he was alarmed and frightened, turned back, and slapped the brass ring on the door vigorously.
The person inside opened the door and asked in a panic, "Is there someone from the government again?" ”
The doorman replied: "It's someone from the Song Mansion, hurry up and tell Madame." ”
Yu Qiao stood on the steps, raised his head, and looked at the high courtyard wall of the mansion. The Shenmen Mansion, in addition to showing wealth and nobility, also seems to be talking about the prosperity and loneliness of the world, this martial artist, I am afraid that it will decline.
After waiting for the tea, a thin man with a cool scribe walked out. There was no sadness on his face, but there was warmth.
He bowed his hand to Yu Qiao and said, "The villain is the housekeeper of the Martial Mansion, so I will lead the young lady in." ”
Chamberlain?
That Wang Jiping who had an affair with the Zheng family?
Yu Qiao said: "I'm tired." ”
Entering the gate, there is an open courtyard, with three ponds, five rockeries, mahogany bridges, and grass gardens complementing each other, just like a garden.
Under the moonlight, everything is like a fantasy, beautiful and hazy. I finally walked through this courtyard before entering the main courtyard, where the housewife and everyone in the martial arts were sitting in the main hall.
Thinking that when Yu Qiao didn't come, there had been a fierce quarrel, and although everyone had sorted out their faces, those tears were still clear.
In this hall, there are more than a dozen women, and there are more than a dozen young masters and young ladies of all sizes, and sitting directly above them are Wu Wencai and his mother Zhao.
The Zhao family is Wu Daozhong's wife, but because she has been lying on the sickbed for a long time, she has always been the housekeeper of the Zheng family.
Now that such a big event has happened in the martial arts, she can't help but reluctantly support it to preside over the overall situation.
Yu Qiao walked to the middle and curtled at Zhao: "Song Yuqiao has seen Madame." ”
Zhao was eager to stand up, but he didn't stand up several times, covering his mouth with a silk handkerchief and coughing violently.
Wu Wencai, who was on the side, gently patted her back and said to Song Yuqiao, "Miss Song, please take a seat." ”
Someone brought a stool, and Yu Qiao sat down in the hall.
Wu Wencai's eyes were red and swollen, and he was haggard. Today, he has asked countless people to ask for help from many sources, but all of them have refused. This is a murder case that the King of Wei, the King of Qi, and the General Qin have personally intervened, and no official dares to intervene.
The father's concubines only cared about crying, and each of them had their own plans for their future, and they only shouted for the eldest lady to call the shots.
Yu Qiao said gently: "I see that Madame is not in good health, but can she still hold on?" ”
Zhao wanted to speak, but he covered his mouth and coughed in a low voice.
Zheng, who was sitting below, spoke: "Miss Song is here, she is definitely not here to ask for warmth, please have something to say." ”
Yu Qiao raised his voice and said: "I have heard that the martial arts family is ruled by Zheng Niangzi, and now I see that it is true. I am not here to ask for warmth, I am here to show my wife a clear way, if I can save one of them, who will you save? ”
In addition to everyone in the hall, even Watson, who was standing behind Yu Qiao, was shocked.
It is a matter of life and death, and it is the most testing of human nature.
Yu Qiao lowered his eyelids and didn't look at anyone.
In the twentieth century, there was a game that swept -
Among grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, brother, sister, lover, child, choose who to leave behind, who will be left in the end......
Many people weep when they make this choice and leave the last person behind.
Zhao suddenly shouted, "Please Miss Song save the master." ”
The other wives and concubines also shouted: "Save the master." ”
Yes, for these women, men are their support, and without Wu Daozhong, they no longer have hope and a future.
Zheng got up suddenly, and even his body was trembling: "Please Miss Song to save my Tai'er." ”
Wu Wentai is the son of the Zheng family, and as a mother, she chose her own son over her husband at this moment.
What's more, she has already had an affair with the housekeeper.
Wu Wencai clenched his fists and hissed: "Erniang, you have always only planned for yourself, you have always been favored by your father, but in the end you want to abandon him." ”
Zheng couldn't care about anything else, and shouted: "It was the master who personally admitted in the hall that he assigned people to seek money and kill him, and Tai'er just obeyed him, not the mastermind." ”
Wu Wenzi stood up, her eyes blood-red: "Erniang, don't you know that your father didn't want Brother Tai to be tortured again, so he was forced to confess?" ”
Zheng said coldly: "The confession was signed and drawn by the master himself. ”
The wives and concubines also stood up and quarreled.
Zhao, who was sitting above, vomited a mouthful of blood, and Wu Wencai shouted: "Father is not here, don't you take the master mother and the eldest young master in your eyes?" ”
Yu Qiao said slowly: "I see that my lady is not in good health, and I can't bear to see her so strong." Whether you save people, or who you save, I am not with you. I'm here to negotiate a deal with you, to exchange your twenty-eight granges and the property of the suburbs of Beijing for the life of one of their father and son, is it feasible? ”
What would you choose between life and possessions?
Losing those twenty-eight granges and properties, the samurai family can still live in peace. If you lose this house, the people of this house will be scattered.
At the root of it, it's falling apart.
Wu Wencai naturally thought of this, his face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "The Wu family is willing to exchange twenty-eight manors and all the fields in the suburbs of Beijing for one person's life. ”
Yu Qiao didn't speak, just shook his head slightly.
It took Zhao a long time to spit out one word: "Listen to her, change." ”
Zheng and all the wives and concubines got up and shouted, "Madam! ”
