Chapter 43: Splitting Up (Recommended Additions)
Xie Mulin knew that yesterday in Xie Mansion, the officials of Dali Temple had already summoned Wen, Cao and others to interrogate once, why did they call Wen to meet today?
She still remembers hearing Wen last night that Lu Fuzhi, the official who presided over the trial at that time, was also a friend of the Xie family. However, during yesterday's interrogation, this Lu Youqing did not show an attitude of nostalgia for the old feelings, why did he suddenly seem to be polite again today?
The most important thing is that their mother and son are here to visit the prison today, so that not letting them visit the capital is just a matter of a sentence from the officials of Dali Temple, and what does it mean to temporarily turn the prison visit into an interrogation?
Xie Mulin suddenly left the handsome little guy he had met back behind, stepped forward nervously, and grabbed Wen's sleeve: "Mother! ”
Wen Shi also looked uneasy, patted the back of his daughter's hand gently, and asked the messenger tremblingly: "Lord Lu...... How could you suddenly ask for it? The concubine is a woman, and her knowledge of the lawsuit of her son is very limited, and when Lord Lu interrogated her yesterday, she had already told everything she knew, and there should be no omission. I don't know ......."
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" The messenger smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, madam, I was in a hurry and missed Lord Lu's words." In fact, during the interrogation yesterday, due to the rush of time, some details were not carefully asked. Today, after Lord Lu's subordinates sorted out the confession, they found that there were many omissions. Originally, the lord also planned to send someone to inquire where the family members of the Xie Governor's Mansion were staying, so that they could inquire about those omissions and make up the confession, but now that I heard that the wife is here, wouldn't it just be able to help? It will save us messengers from coming to you again. ”
When he said this, Wen's heart was a little more relieved, and a little smile appeared on his face: "I see." It would be great if I could help the adults. The grandson was wronged, as long as he could help Dali Temple clarify the case, and return the innocence of the grandson as soon as possible, but anything that the concubine knew, the adult just asked, and the concubine would never dare to hide it! ”
The poor man smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The adults of our Dali Temple are all discerning. As long as Governor Xie is really innocent, the adults will definitely wash away his grievances. My wife can rest assured. ”
Wen listened and felt more at ease.
Xie Mulin always felt a little strange, and couldn't help but ask: "May I ask this poor master, I don't know what Lord Lu wants to ask my mother?" My mother is just a deep house woman, and she doesn't know anything about the outside world, and she doesn't know my father's experience in office. However, there is an aunt in our family who followed my father to the appointment, and I may know more about it. ”
The messenger said: "Miss, don't worry, if Lord Lu wants to pass on that aunt and grandmother for questioning, he will naturally speak." This time, I heard that Governor Xie often writes to his wife, talking about the family's account expenditure, and it has been more than ten years. Mr. Lu has some questions about the accounts, and I want to ask my wife to go over and explain it, I think this is not difficult for my wife, right? ”
Wen Shi hurriedly said: "If there is a big change in the accounts of the public middle school every year, the concubine body will know it." However, the concubine never interferes in the family's feed, and she doesn't care about the accounts of the outside industry, she just listens to the housekeepers and shopkeepers report the accounts every quarter, and then sends a message to her grandson. The concubine doesn't know if she can help Lord Lu......"
"That's enough." The messenger smiled and said, "The details of the accounts, you can ask the shopkeepers, but you need to ask your wife to verify them." Madame, please come with me, and the adults are waiting in the back hall. If there is something to be given to Governor Xie, it will be handed over to our brother, and the guarantee will be delivered to Governor Xie safely, and there will be no missing anything! ”
"This ......" Wen originally planned to agree quickly, but when he heard that the other party wanted to help him bring something to Xie Pu, he hesitated again.
She was going to meet Xie Pu today and tell him about family matters. Could it be that we really have to rely on letters to spread the word? But her letter was a little vague, for fear that outsiders would look at it and spread gossip, which would affect her husband's reputation. Now just showing the letter to Xie Pu is inevitably a little insufficient.
Xie Mulin quickly expressed his worries for her on the side: "Can't you let us see Daddy?" Something happened to him suddenly, and now he doesn't know what happened. My grandmother still has something to tell him, and I must tell my mother and me in person. ”
The messenger didn't mean to stop them: "It's okay, if the young master and young lady are not at ease, the young master and young lady will go with me to see the adults, and the young master and young lady will go to the prison and see the Xie Governor's Mansion with their own eyes, that is." Don't worry, Xie Zhifu is fine, no illness or pain, neither hungry nor frozen, alive and jumping, I look better than my wife's complexion. ”
Xie Mulin was dumbfounded, what did you say about this?
But it's good if someone doesn't stop them from seeing Xie Pu. Xie Mulin didn't mean to let Wen see Xie Pu. Anyway, she can see people, she can talk.
She whispered to Wen, "Since that's the case, let's go our separate ways." Mother is relieved to go to see that Lord Lu. I took my third brother to see my father, and I will tell him about the family. ”
Wen hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and asked his daughter with some anxiety: "Take a closer look at your father to see if he is really okay." If there is any discomfort in his body, don't let him hide it, we can go get medicine and bring it to him. What he wants and lacks in prison, you can also ask clearly, and write it down. Speaking of this, she paused, "The matter of the family...... In fact, everything is fine, you and the old lady is safe, and the children are only a little sick, so let your father not worry, and then slowly inform the big house. If your father is too excited, don't be too honest, it doesn't matter, it's okay to hide it for the time being. When your father comes home from his crimes, it won't affect the overall situation if you tell him the details......"
Xie Mulin had the urge to roll his eyes, and he didn't think so. Of course, she didn't show her true heart, but lowered her head and whispered: "My daughter knows what to do, don't worry." ”
Wen settled down, and instructed Xie Huizhi a few more words, before he went to the back hall with the messenger with confidence.
Before leaving, the messenger raised his head to find someone to lead the way for Xie Mulin's sister and brother, and the young official who had been standing behind Xie Mulin took the initiative to step forward and said, "Third Brother Ding, let me lead the way for them." I happened to be idle. ”
Third Brother Na Ding naturally knew who the young man was, so he looked at him in surprise, and then said with a smile: "Then trouble Young Master Xiao." They are going to the No. 3 prison of B, does Young Master Xiao know where it is? ”
Young Master Xiao nodded: "I know, there are two rooms to the east of Dong Shizi, but?" ”
Third Brother Ding smiled: "That's the place, then please ask Young Master Xiao to go." ”
He took the Wen family to the back hall to see Lu Youqing very neatly, leaving Xie Mulin, Xie Huizhi, and Li Xianglang in the same place, looking at the young master Xiao.
Xie Mulin secretly went to see Young Master Xiao, Young Master Xiao smiled at her, she quickly avoided his gaze and gave Xie Huizhi a look.
Xie Huizhi was still in a daze, not seeing the eyes of his second sister. He seemed to recognize the identity of that Young Master Xiao, and asked with a complicated expression: "I am Xie Huizhi of the Xie family, and I am the third among the brothers." I...... I seem to have seen you, aren't you the second young master Xiao of the Zhuguo General's Mansion? I heard that you were grounded at home, how could you be in Dali Temple? Also did an official errand? ”
The General's Mansion of the Pillar Kingdom?
Xie Mulin couldn't help but look at the handsome and handsome young man with curious eyes again.
