Chapter 38: Knowing too much will make you lose your head
That night, Jinyi Wei thoroughly inspected Ning Jitang, and the shopkeeper and his men took away a total of more than a dozen people.
In the case of Zhang Arrest and Killing the Door, the movement seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
What happened in the Shuntian Mansion was also like growing wings, and it spread very quickly.
Fu Yin Xu Jinyuan was found out of several major crimes by Jinyi Wei. Greedy for ink and bribery, fish and flesh of the people, bullying the king, this is a big crime that can lose your head if you take it out casually, and the ugly things of Xie Zaiheng and Zhang Yuner have also been spread by adding oil and vinegar, not only the Liu family of Mixing knows, but the Marquis of Guangwu Mansion also got the letter.
On the contrary, it is Ah Shi, there are not many rumors.
Even the re-examination of the autopsy reached the ears of others with Song Changgui's name.
The life of Song Changgui's family has always been tight, and even more so after the silver hidden by the Wang family was lost. But the Wang family lost other people's daughters, not their own sons.
When Shi Yong got up in the morning, he saw Wang burying eggs in Song Hong's bowl.
The year is not good, the Song family has not seen meat for several days, Shi Yong glanced at the round eggs and slowed down.
"What do you see? Isn't it better for you to go to the yamen for a bad meal? Brother eats an egg, and your eyeballs are about to fall. ”
Wang's mouth is often unclean, and the sound of scolding people is like a bell, and half of the alley can be heard. Especially after the silver disappeared, she scolded almost from morning to night, and even Song Xiang was not treated by her, she couldn't eat the eggs anymore, and she didn't dare to come out.
Shi Yong was in a good mood.
"I'll eat at home this morning."
Eat, eat, eat, know to eat. No matter how unhappy Wang was in his heart, he didn't dare to treat Ah Shi slowly in front of Song Changgui. Song Changgui hadn't gone out today, Wang glared at Shi Yong, and pretended to let her go to set the meal.
In these years, Song Changgui is not unaware of Wang's style, but there is no way. It is difficult for the Qing officials to decide the family affairs, and the Wang family has finally pulled Ah Shi up, he looks good, and there is no less meat than a few scoldings, for the sake of the harmony of the house, he opened one eye and closed one eye.
The family sat down, Song Changgui looked at the three children and his pale wife, and his mouth was indescribably bitter.
"Chunniang, this year, I have suffered a few of your mothers."
As he spoke, he took out the money bag from his bosom and moved it from the table to Wang.
"This month's work food, mine, along with Ah Shi's, is in it, put it away carefully, don't throw it away again."
He didn't blame the Wang family for losing the silver, nor did he ask more questions because he suspected Song Xiang of stealing.
He is actually a good husband and father, but his ability is so great.
Wang pursed his lips, took the silver coin and checked it: "That's it?" Didn't you say that you borrowed some from the yamen and came back to buy rice? ”
"The yamen doesn't have any spare money, and now it's under tight control, and it can't be borrowed."
"The Yamen will have no money? Are you and I the kind of fool who makes such a fool? ”
Song Changgui glanced at Wang: "This is just the beginning. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future. ”
Saying that, he sighed, "I heard that the Uliang Khan came to Beijing and asked His Majesty to marry Princess Huaining to their new Khan King as a side concubine......
"Side concubine?"
The Song family naturally doesn't know Princess Huaining, but even if Princess Dayan wants to get married, she has to be a genuine lady, how can she be a side concubine? Wang and Song Xiang were stunned.
"His father, do you say that this Wuliang Khan has eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard? Such a ridiculous request? ”
Song Changgui shook his head and glanced at Shi Yong, who was eating with his head down.
"I think it's to deceive me into causing a famine, and Your Majesty is sad because of the death of the Emperor Taishang, and he has been ill for a long time, so I found an excuse, maybe I hope that Your Majesty shouldn't ......"
"Then Your Majesty has answered?"
"Who knows?"
The Wang family didn't understand the major affairs of the dynasty, but he lived in Beijing and knew a lot about gossip in the streets and alleys.
"It's all because Shi Yong, a slut, refuses to stop even when she dies. How many people are willing to be killed? ”
Shi Yong's identity is still a mystery to the people of Beijing.
Some people say that she is a demon girl from the southwest wilderness, who knows the art of charming, and she has lost the Hou Ye and the general, and the prince of the world, which has caused several masters to fight, and she has torn up bloody rain in order to ask for marriage.
Some people also say that Shi Yong is actually a man, and the supervisor of Dongchang likes male style, so he is satisfied, and there is no control to make waves everywhere, which is why there are so many angry and resentful things, and he is sick today.
And now, when Wuliang Khan came to Beijing, he said that Shi Yong was their Great Khan's confidante and wanted to ask to marry him back to be the princess.
Shi Yong died, and the princess couldn't do it, so the envoy actually changed his words and begged to marry Princess Huaining as a side concubine.
"Isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor and a slap in the face of Da Yan?"
"His father, they all said that there was going to be a war, do you think this battle can be fought?"
Over the years, the shadow of war has never left, and there are many rumors.
But this time, Song Changgui really had a sense of crisis, and there was no panic in his heart.
"I am afraid that they will do anything. We still have the Grand Governor. Song Xiang snorted, her face full of indifference.
In Beijing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Even a boudoir woman like Song Xiang knows some major events of the country.
"The Governor of the Metropolitan has been personally taught the true inheritance by Lord Yonglu, and he will be able to protect my people of Dayan."
Song Xiang talked about Zhao Yin, and her face was full of moist pink. A few years ago, Zhao Yin followed Yonglu Ye from the south to win the battle and came back, passing through the long street of Shuntianfu, leading thousands of empty alleys, Song Xiang also went to watch, although it was too far away to see Zhao Yin's clear face, but a girl's heart has long been out of proportion.
"Dad, you help me inquire, if the governor wants someone to serve him, I am willing to sell myself and be a slave for him."
Song Changgui's face darkened, but the Wang family laughed, and he had less resentment about Song Xiang stealing silver.
"His father, Xiang'er has such ambitions, so you can inquire about them. After so many years in the yamen, how many people can talk, right? Oh, by the way, didn't you just go to work with Jinyiwei? ”
"Shut up for me."
Song Changgui is a gentle man who rarely loses his temper.
Wang was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned red with grievance.
"What happened to me? Xiang'er is fifteen years old this year, if you don't plan for her as a father, can't I be a mother? Could it be that Xiang'er also wants to be an old girl at home like Ah Shi? ”
Speaking of Ah Shi's marriage, Song Changgui's face was ugly.
He felt that he was burdened by his own cheap work, and he was ashamed of Ah Shi's mother-in-law, Ah Shi, and Wang and his youngest daughter.
"It's serious to honestly find a good person, I don't have the ability to be a nobleman, and I don't want to go the wrong way."
"It's not productive." Wang saw that his voice softened, and he became spicy again, "There is no rule in this dynasty, and princes and generals cannot marry folk women." My Xiang'er was born so well, why can't I be the Governor's wife? ”
Song Changgui glanced at his two daughters.
If you say that she looks good, Ah Shi followed her mother and grew a good mold.
"Stop thinking about what you have and don't have."
Song Changgui's gaze fell on the money bag, and he sighed and changed the subject.
"You go tomorrow morning, hurry up and buy some rice and noodles and come back and put them away...... If you still have your own money, take it out and use it, and I will make it up to you later. ”
"I don't know if I have any money, and I don't know which oil rat stole it."
Wang touched the money bag, glared at Song Xiang, and sighed again.
"How much rice can I buy with this money? It's not enough for a family to chew for a few days......"
Song Changgui said: "How much can you buy, if it really starts, the rations must be close to the barracks first, and even if you can buy it at that time, I'm afraid it won't be at this price." ”
Song Xiang pursed her mouth: "Dad, don't worry about it." We have a metropolitan governor in Dayan, who dares to come to find death? ”
Song Changgui moved his mouth, wanting to say something to teach his daughter a lesson, but before he could say anything, Shi Yong stood up.
"I'm full."
She turned and walked away.
Song Changgui found that her little face was pale, as if something was wrong, and stood up.
"Ah Shi, are you not feeling well? Do you want to go to Lang Zhong ......?"
"No, it's just a little tired."
Shi Yong entered the firewood room on the north side, closed the door, and sat on the bed.
After thinking for a moment, she was about to take out the jade order pattern when Song Changgui came to knock on the door.
"Ahh
Shi Yong raised his eyelids and retracted his hand: "Come in." ”
The door opened, and Song Changgui looked at his daughter sitting there, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, his eyes were indifferent, and he was suddenly in a trance for a moment, as if this was not Ah Shi.
"I heard you dissected the body?"
"Hmm."
"You said that none of the nine members of the Zhang family died of snake venom?"
"Hmm."
Song Changgui was silent for a moment, "Why are you lying?" ”
Shi Yong looked up at him.
The man seemed quite confident in his own judgment.
"That's just the way it is." Shi Yong chuckled, and his lazy voice fell into Song Changgui's ears, and he felt that it was completely different from the usual Ah Shi.
Ah Shi spoke, never so tactful.
"Dad, if you know too many secrets, you'll lose your head."
