Chapter 23: Seeking Justice

What is the Guogong Mansion? It was a relative of the emperor and the mother's house, and even if she passed by here on weekdays, the people were light-footed, and they didn't dare to breathe.

What day is it? The sun is coming out in the west? Someone dares to make trouble in front of the Guogong Mansion?

Looking at the family's dress, it doesn't look like a powerful family.

As the old lady fainted, some bold people began to watch cautiously, and then stood behind the family to watch the excitement.

After a while, I finally understood what it meant-

The young lady of this country's mansion went back to her parents' house a few days ago, and then casually killed a little maid at her mother's house.

The little maid was twenty-eight years old, and the family really had no money, so she asked the eldest sister in the family to come out to work, and the monk book signed a living deed, ready to earn enough dowry for herself, so she redeemed herself and went back to marry.

Who knows, it is a pity that people were killed within two years of entering the house.

From the words of the family, it was clear that Shangshufu not only hid this matter, but even did not let the body of the family see it, and the steward of Shangshufu threw a mere three taels of silver at their door and left.

There were many people listening to the story, and the porter of the Guogong Mansion couldn't stop him, so he could only go in and ask the master's house.

It happened that Sheng Hongan was not at home today, and went to the banquet held by the daughter of the Taifu family early in the morning.

The old lady of the Guogong Mansion had a headache today, stayed in the mansion, and when she heard this, she frowned, was supported by the maid, and walked towards the door.

The old lady of the Guogong Mansion is not in good health, but it is not to the point where she can't manage the affairs of the house, and Sheng Hongan has never touched the power of the family in the Guogong Mansion.

The family outside the door saw that the master was coming, and hurriedly kowtowed, and the sound of the head falling on the ground was very shocking, and the people around were in an uproar.

The old lady looked at it, patted the maid's hand, and took two steps towards the door.

"A few, the old body doesn't know what's going on, why don't you get up first, come in and have a sip of tea, and talk slowly?"

I saw a man in a coarse cloth shirt, with red eyes, kneeling there, with a determined expression and a mockery.

"Madame is kind, but the grass people still want to say it here, in the presence of everyone, otherwise, after entering, our family will be killed casually, what should we do? Can anyone give an explanation to the grass people? ”

"Yes, it's a matter of human life, how can I go in with you casually? The powerful are not something that we ordinary people can afford to provoke! ”

"Yes! yes, right here, let's watch together! ”

The people who watched the excitement also responded to the harmony.

The old lady saw that today's things were strange, so she could only agree:

"Those few people will tell me, what is the matter, what did the old body hear about human life just now, if there is really something about the death of the old man, the old body will not tolerate it."

The man glanced at his father and mother, and the old woman was still immersed in grief, so she spoke herself.

"Today, the grass people are not looking for other people in the Guogong Mansion, they just want to see with their own eyes what kind of vicious young lady of the Guogong Mansion looks like, so that they can order the grass people's sixteen-year-old sister to be beaten to death!"

The man was word-by-word.

The old lady frowned, I don't know why she was still involved with Sheng Hong'an, didn't she go back to Shangshu Mansion a while ago?

"What the hell is going on, brother? You should talk about it and let everyone judge it together! ”

The man nodded and continued: "The family is really poor, and I have to provide for my younger brother to study, my sister Xing'er is sensible, regardless of showing up, she went outside to find a guy to do, and became a maid in Shengfu." ”

"I've always been alive and well, my sister got married last year, and I'm ready to save enough money this year, so I will redeem myself first, and I also have a dowry of silver, and marry decently!"

"The wedding date is set, and suddenly there is a Sheng Mansion steward that day, who came to the door, looked at people with his nostrils, and said that his sister made a mistake in the Sheng family, and the host's family made a few boards, who knows, my sister is timid, and she scared herself to death!"

"My mother fainted at that time! I went crazy, pulled the steward of the Sheng family, and asked where my sister's body was, and why there was no one! As a result, the steward threw three taels of silver at the grass man's feet, and turned around to leave. ”

"Seeing that the grass people want to continue talking, directly let the little guy beat the grass people to the ground, saying that if the grass people dare to say more, it will not only be my sister who will die!"

"Caomin thought that his sister had really done something wrong, and his parents were old, so he couldn't bear to be sad, so he wanted to forget it!"

The man clenched his fists with both hands and smashed his chest fiercely: "Heaven is unfair! Heaven is unfair! ”

"What the hell is going on, you hurry up!" The people next to him were also indignant and hurriedly urged him.

"The grass people have just learned that my poor sister, where was she scared to death? It was ordered by the young lady of the Guogong Mansion to keep beating and beating to death! Before he died, he kept screaming, and when he died, his head was broken! ”

The people around showed sympathetic eyes, and the expressions of the old lady who looked at the Guogong Mansion also became disgusted.

The old lady was not panicked, and asked calmly: "What evidence do you have for saying that?" ”

"Also, there are no people in Shangshu Mansion, what are you doing in Guogong Mansion?"

The man sneered: "Madame, do you think the grass people didn't go?" ”

"It's just that the young lady of the Sheng family has already married, thinking that she is hiding in the Guogong Mansion. Don't the grass people dare to come over? The grass people are willing to give up their lives today, and they are beaten to death on the street, and they also want to get justice for their sister! ”

"Good! That's how it should be! ”

"That's a real man!"

The people around praised him.

"Is there any evidence for what you say? If you talk about it, but if you want to go to the government, the old body will not let people smear the Guogong Mansion! ”

The old lady asked suspiciously.

The man's eyes widened angrily, and before he could continue to speak, a voice came from behind him.

"The small is the evidence! The old lady is good! "A man dressed as a small servant squeezed in from outside the crowd with a piece of paper in his hand.

He waved: "The little one is working in the Sheng Mansion, and I just redeemed the deed with silver today, and I am the one who is married to Xing'er!" On the day Apricot was killed, I carried it out with my own hands! Does the old lady have to be small to put the body of the apricot here? ”

The little guy trembled with anger.

Standing in the middle of the crowd: "Xing'er was not beaten at all because she did something wrong!" The aunt of the Guogong Mansion family was pregnant, and Mrs. Sheng Shangshu didn't let the people below mention it in front of the eldest lady. ”

"When Xing'er was explaining to the other maids, she was heard by the eldest lady of the Sheng family, that is, the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, and directly asked someone to drag Xing'er and the maid out and beat them to death!"

"That maid has a big life, although she was not killed, the rest of her life was ruined! Who knows that in the end, Sheng Fu and the eldest lady of the Sheng family are just: just give some silver. ”

"Three taels of silver! It's just a human life! Is there a royal law in this world? The little guy shouted loudly, and the people next to him also looked sad and sad.

"Old lady! The witness is also here! Give me an explanation! Are the royal relatives so majestic? ”

Someone followed.

At this moment, a carriage stopped at the door of the Prince's Mansion, and from inside came a woman dressed in a gorgeous dress.

When the little guy saw this person, his eyes suddenly widened!

"Miss! You're going to give Apricot back your life! ”

He roared loudly, so everyone understood that this was the ruthless lady of the Sheng family.

Sheng Hongan was outside to attend the banquet, and as soon as he sat down, he was called back by someone from the Guogong Mansion, and he was worried on the way, not knowing what was going on.

Hearing this little guy's words, she panicked even more.

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't know someone named Apricot!" Sheng Hongan retorted.

"Huh! Miss Sheng doesn't even remember the person she killed, why, don't you have nightmares when you sleep at night? ”

When Sheng Hongan heard this, her face turned pale all of a sudden, and she looked a little pitiful, but now no one sympathized with her.

"It's pretty good-looking, why is it so ruthless?" There was a heckle in the crowd.

"That's right! I can't even tolerate the maids around me, how can I accommodate my aunt's children? It turns out that women from big families are so jealous! ”

Sheng Hongan's footsteps were shaky, and he didn't know how it got out.

She saw that the old lady's eyes were cold and sharp when she looked at her, and her heart was even more flustered, and she knelt down directly.

"Mother is discerning! The daughter-in-law definitely didn't do anything like this! I don't know who said it! Mother is discerning! ”

She fell in front of the old lady with such a flustered look, and after so many years in the back house, how could the old lady not understand?

immediately beckoned and asked the maid to put Sheng Hong back.

"At this time, when it comes to the woman in the back house, I really can't let people watch, this matter, the old body will definitely find out, your sister.... A poor man, too. ”

The maid beside the old lady came over and handed over a silver ticket of one hundred taels.

"You take this silver first, and bury your sister well, your sister is not from our country after all, hey.... When everything is clear, let's talk about right and wrong. ”

The old lady said very vaguely, and she didn't say who was right and who was wrong, and when the man saw her like this, he also knew that he couldn't be entangled, so he could only leave with his father and mother.

The gate of the Guogong Mansion was closed, and the people around them didn't see the excitement and left.

As soon as the old lady entered the Guogong Mansion, the anger on her face could not be concealed.

"What kind of injustice is our family marrying! This is the debt collector! I can't give birth to a child, and I disturb the peace in the family all day long! ”

"I didn't want to! Look at it now, I'm not wrong, right? ”

"I don't care about that. When the young master comes back, you can learn it to him, and let him decide for himself! ”

With that, the old lady went back to the house.

"Old lady, where is the young lady?"

"Put people in the Buddha hall first, let her sober and sober! Our family can't accommodate her! ”
