Chapter 42: Are You Convicted?
When Song Zhitian heard the voice, he hurriedly ran out of the house with a pale face, hurriedly came to the official messenger, and looked at the official messenger with panic and puzzlement, "The county magistrate suddenly gave an order, I don't know what happened?" ”
The official knew him, although he was mediocre but treated people well, and sighed lightly and handed him a piece of paper.
The more Song Zhitian looked at it, the darker his face became, his body seemed to have been struck by thunder, and he staggered and trembled: "How could it be...... Will it be? ”
He lived cautiously all his life, and he was afraid that something would happen, but he didn't expect that the wife he believed in the most and the person he loved the most would be ......
At this time, Li Xiufeng also came to the courtyard, noticed Song Zhitian's face, and whispered: "Master, what happened?" ”
Song Zhitian has been cowardly and inactive all his life, and his greatest wish is to spend this life in peace, how could such a person suddenly attract officers and soldiers?
Could it be that something went wrong in business?
Thinking of Song Zhitian's face every time she came back from the yamen these days, many guesses flashed in her head, and she secretly moved her next step and kept a distance from Song Zhitian.
didn't think about the previous things, because in her opinion, Song Zhitian would forgive her sooner or later.
Song Zhitian saw her subtle movements in his eyes, his eyes were slightly red, and his vicissitudes of life flashed with deep disappointment and pain.
He let out a long sigh and said hoarsely, "Who reported this crime?" ”
"It's the eldest lady in your house."
Song Zhitian raised his head as if hesitantly, thinking of the lack of novelty for Song Mingyue over the years, his heart was full of guilt and self-blame.
"You go and tell Mingyue to call Qi'er."
The housekeeper looked at him worriedly, sighed secretly, and retreated.
After a while, the whole family of the Song Mansion gathered in the courtyard.
The subordinates looked at the scene in front of them, and they all muttered and guessed to themselves, and whispered to each other.
"What's going on?"
"I've seen my lord's face bad every time he comes back from outside these days, could it be that he did something wrong?"
"I don't think my lord has a good face these days, maybe it's ......"
"Shhh, don't say it, if you are heard, you will inevitably be punished."
……
Song Shiqi listened to a lot of gossip along the way, and her clenched hands were already sweating, and her apprehension gradually increased as she approached the yard.
From afar, she glanced at the calm and calm person not far away, which made her heart chuckle, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually increased.
When Li Xiufeng saw her coming, she immediately pulled her to her side and whispered: "Presumably your father committed a crime, you can't be like before, in case Mingzhe protects himself." ”
She just stood far away, and she didn't hear Song Zhitian's conversation with the official messenger clearly, and she didn't think about herself, otherwise she would definitely not have the current expression.
"Hmm." Song Shiqi nodded thoughtfully, and glanced at Li Xiufeng secretly, and then lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
County office.
The news that the people of the Song Mansion were collectively called to the Yamen has been reported, and at this time, the people who were eating melons outside and watching the excitement also piled up.
"What do you say the Song Mansion has done? I was called all of them. ”
"I don't know, but Master Song is a good person, generous and kind, and he shouldn't do dirty things."
"I vaguely heard that there was a discord in the Song Mansion before, could it be related to this matter?"
Everyone shook their heads, each with their own thoughts and speculations.
At this time, the county magistrate sat on the top of the public court, looked at everyone in the audience with a serious face, and said loudly: "Pass the prisoner." ”
When the words fell, everyone was stunned for a while, and the people watching the excitement outside the public hall were even more like being stabbed in a honeycomb and exploded in an instant.
"This person looks like a face, isn't he from the county town?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it."
……
At this moment, only Song Zhitian and Song Mingyue are calm, especially the latter, her heart is as calm as water at this time, and she has not made any waves.
Seeing this, Li Xiufeng began to be vaguely uneasy, but still firm in her previous speculation, and secretly pulled Song Shiqi back a few steps again.
However, when she saw the person who had been detained clearly, her body shook, and she opened her mouth and didn't say a word.
She has already contacted the informant in the past few days, and it won't take long to get the middle-aged man out of prison, which is why she was so calm before, but she didn't expect things to change.
Her gaze suddenly looked at the calm and petite person not far away, and her face became vicious.
"Maybe I'm wrong, you go to your father's side, and no matter what happens, don't make a noise for a while."
Song Shiqi is not stupid, where does she still not understand it now? She looked at Li Xiufeng worriedly, "But what about you?" ”
"If you want to keep your current status, do what I say right away, as for me...... You don't have to worry about it. ”
Song Shiqi is only in the prime of her life, there is still a longer road in the future, a better life to go, she must not let Song Shiqi be involved.
Song Shiqi's eyes were red, and she looked at her reluctantly, and finally gritted her teeth and endured the pain in her heart and stood beside Song Mingyue.
When she looked at Song Mingyue, her eyes were full of resentment.
Song Mingyue naturally felt the strong gaze behind her, but she didn't pay attention to it and took the initiative to ignore it.
Syllable!
The board slapped on the table, making a crisp but shocking sound, and the county magistrate motioned with his eyes to the official to detain the middle-aged man to the ground.
Poof, the middle-aged man was hit to the ground, he raised his head with a hideous face, and when he saw Li Xiufeng in a panic on the edge of the corner, he finally gave up struggling.
"Zheng Kui, are you guilty?"
Zheng Kui raised his head unconvinced, looked directly at the county magistrate, and said, "I don't know!" ”
The county magistrate seemed to have known his answer a long time ago, clapped his decision again, and said in a deep voice: "Witness! ”
Mighty –
An old man with pale hair was detained, he first glanced at Song Mingyue, and his face flashed with self-blame and remorse.
The old man knelt on the ground and said sincerely: "Wei Fenbo, grass people, meet your lord." ”
Li Xiufeng and Zheng Kui looked at the old man in disbelief, and their bodies trembled slightly.
After the matter was over, they didn't want to stay alive, they deliberately went to look for the old man, but after looking for half a year, there was no trace, and in the end they could only give up looking.
"How is he still alive?" Li Xiufeng muttered in distraction, her eyes full of bloodshots.
Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Song Mingyue, who had always been calm, could it be her?
The county magistrate didn't know what everyone was thinking, and asked seriously: "Tell me everything you know." ”
"Yes." The old man nodded, as if he was reminiscing, and said the events of the year word for word.
"I was blinded by lard back then, and because of my sick wife, I promised Li to help her add an extra dose of medicine to the fetal pill, but I only added a little ...... because I was afraid."
After hearing this, both inside and outside the yamen were shocked.
"The Li family looks dignified, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless."
"Miss Song has been rumored to be rude and willful in the past few years, could it be that she also planned it?"
"Master Song knows that he will marry such a wife and go back, I don't know how he will feel."
There are even many people who have turned over the old things of Li Xiufeng's early years.
"Have you forgotten that the Li family was once the singer of the Wind and Snow Building? Such a person has turned into Mrs. Song Mansion, which shows that he has a deep heart. ”
"I heard that it was the child of the Song Mansion in his arms, so Master Song had no choice but to marry her into the door."
"Master Song saw that she was pitiful and gave her a name, but I didn't expect to pay it by mistake."
"So, will the second miss of the Song family not be the child of Master Song?"
Some people who have been to Fengxue Building talk about it, they all know that the woman who has stayed there, where will she be Bingxin Yujie?
Especially after listening to the secret of the year, many people feel even more strange.
Song Shiqi secretly listened to people's discussions, her hands stirred, and her face buried in her head flashed with fear and panic.
She kept praying, hoping that she would not be shaken out of her life experience, otherwise she was worried that even Li Xiufeng would not be able to keep her current identity and status.
"Zheng Kui, is there anything he said?"
Zheng Kui was still frightened, but he quickly came back to his senses, looked at Song Mingyue viciously, and said, "I don't admit it, I don't know this person." ”
The county magistrate's face was slightly dark, exuding a serious atmosphere, "Tell the witness again!" ”
When Zheng Kui saw the person who was called, he was directly dumbfounded.
"The grass people meet the adults, I am the midwife who delivered the baby at that time, and I ...... that day."
Song Mingyue frowned, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, she didn't know this person, but she could vaguely feel that someone was secretly helping her.
