Chapter 25: Interrogation
It was night, the sky was clear, and the moon and stars were scarce.
Xie Yun was sitting in front of the window, blowing the breeze, leaning against the window to read a book, and the oil lamp on the side was crackling and flashing sparks.
"The eldest prince, the prince is here."
At this time, a small servant suddenly came to report outside the door, and when Xie Yun heard that his younger brother came to the door, he put down his book and went out to meet guests.
Before coming here, Xie Jieyou and the others heard that the prince had passed Xie Jiancheng, and seemed to be interrogating, as soon as they heard that Chen Yunling wanted to find Xie Yun to come over to help, they hurriedly led him to Xie Yun's yard, and without waiting for the little guy to come over to guide the way, he led Chen Yunling into the familiar car.
"Why did you let me in without the consent of others, what should I do if I disturb the eldest prince?" Chen Yunling asked.
Hearing this, Xie Jieyou didn't stop, just said as he walked: "You had to find someone to help first, why did I bring you here now, but you are reserved?" ”
"That's not what the concubine meant, it's just that it's somewhat inappropriate to casually break into someone else's yard like this."
"What can be wrong, even if the eldest brother blames it, I will bear it for you. Besides, you want to waste your time because of this, but let the people over there take advantage of it? ”
Chen Yunling was speechless when asked, "What the prince said is that it is better to solve the matter as soon as possible in case of sudden changes." ”
While talking, the two walked to the door unconsciously.
Xie Yun stood at the door early to greet them, he first nodded at his younger brother, then looked at Chen Yunling on the side, and said, "Mrs. Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”
"The concubine is actually fine."
"Come on in, it's not a good thing to talk at the door. I'm curious as to why you're coming to me so late. With that, Xie Yun led the two into the house, and the people served tea and snacks and then retreated.
After everyone sat down and there was no one else in the room, Xie Jieyou spoke: "Actually, I don't know why I came this time, but Ling'er said that I wanted to ask you for help, so I brought her over." ”
"Huh?" Xie Yun's eyes wandered back and forth between the two, and he always felt that the relationship between the two of them was more intimate, and even the names were different, "I don't know what Mrs. Ling wants to help me with?" ”
Chen Yunling didn't notice Xie Yun's inquiry, but directly explained the intention: "I wonder if Gongzi knows what happened today?" ”
"I know a little bit about it."
Chen Yunling looked at Xie Jieyou, and seeing that he had no opinion, he spoke: "When the concubine was checking the accounts, she found that the big house was quietly transferring the family property. ”
"I didn't find out about this at the time, did my father and mother know about it?" Xie Yun was surprised.
"It's not to blame the eldest prince, the concubine was also discovered by chance later, and now the prince is interrogating the eldest master, and the physical evidence in the person has also been sent."
"So what are you coming to me for?"
Chen Yunling hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not.
Xie Yun seemed to sense her hesitation, and was empathetic, "Madame, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
"This is so, and the concubine's body is no longer hidden. Although there is ironclad evidence in hand, the prince has always been a person who thinks of old love, and the concubine is afraid that the prince will take into account the brotherly love and let go of the eldest lord and others. ”
In the original book, Xie Xionghui is a person who attaches great importance to family affection, even if the family makes a big mistake, they will choose to forgive them because of family affection, which is why Chen Yunling came to Xie Yun for help, she hopes that Xie Yun can come forward, and the two brothers will persuade King Jian'an together.
"Madame's words are true, but I don't know why Madame has to ask my father to dispose of my uncle's family, and why do I think I can move my father?" Xie Yun did not agree or refuse, but asked rhetorically.
When Chen Yunling came, he thought that he might ask himself like this, and replied unhurriedly: "Although the eldest lord is the elder brother of the prince, he has not fulfilled his duty as an elder brother, but wants to come and rob his younger brother's property. As for why the concubine would think of asking the eldest prince for help, she naturally believed in the eldest prince's ability, and also believed that the eldest prince understood the pros and cons. Although the eldest lord and the prince are brothers, but for such a brother who eats inside and out, he harmed his own family, presumably the prince does not want to see it. After all, this palace was built by the prince single-handedly, and it should be left to his descendants, not to be taken away by others. The concubine believes that the prince also understands it in his heart, but he needs someone to mention it. ”
Chen Yunling said a lot in one breath, saying everything he thought and understood.
Xie Yun smiled helplessly after hearing this, and looked at his younger brother again, "This person next to you is really powerful, I have nothing to say when I say that I am a brother." ”
In this regard, Xie Jieyou could only shrug his shoulders, and then threw the decision to Xie Yun again.
"I can't imagine that Mrs. Ling has such an opinion, and I admire it, so I will go with you, as for how my father will decide in the end, it is not out of my control."
Seeing that Xie Yun agreed, Chen Yunling was very happy, "The concubine is here to thank the eldest son." With that, the three of them got up and went to the front yard.
After Xie Xionghui found someone to invite Xie Jiancheng here, he did not rush to ask questions, but first sent human evidence, and then threw the physical evidence in front of him.
"You can see for yourself first, and then talk about what you have to say."
Xie Jiancheng still had a trace of luck, but when he saw that it was his henchman who had not returned for a long time, he glanced at the deed paper in front of him again, and knew that his matter had been exposed.
He knows his brother's temperament very well, as long as he tells the matter one by one, and then cries and begs for mercy, he will let himself go for the sake of the family, and as for the future, it is not too late to make plans after this matter has passed.
"It's me who deserves to die, it's me who is confused, I don't want the third brother to forgive me, I just ask you to be angry with Qingqing for the sake of our family, she is still young. Everything is not me, a father, who wants to beat and punish me without complaining. ”
Xie Jiancheng was crying while slapping himself with both hands, and the sound of snapping was very loud in the hall.
Xie Xionghui saw his brother like this, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he knew that this matter was related to the palace, so he couldn't just leave it at that.
"I don't think I've treated your family badly, but why did my brother do this to me?" Xie Xionghui said bitterly.
"Everything is my brother's fault, it's my brother's greed, and my brother deserves to die! I know that I don't have the ability to give Qingqing a good future, but I just think that if I can prepare a little more dowry, I will ......"
Seeing Xie Jiancheng say so sadly, Xie Xionghui couldn't bear it, although he was angry, he couldn't say anything cruel now, "Qingqing is my niece, I naturally love her, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, but why do you want to do such an immoral thing." It's already okay to do this kind of thing secretly, and you still want to blame others, if this kind of thing spreads, you, what do you think! ”
Xie Xiong would talk, and the more he talked, the more angry he felt, he believed in them so much, he couldn't have imagined that they would secretly transfer the family property behind his back.
Xie Qingqing was just sobbing quietly next to her, but Xie Xionghui seemed to be a little shaken, she knelt forward, grabbed the hem of Xie Xionghui's clothes, and cried: "Little uncle, Qingqing knows that she is wrong, Qingqing will never dare anymore." Father is indeed secretly transferring the family property, but the idea of blaming others today is not what my father thinks, and I ask my little uncle to know clearly! ”
When Xie Xionghui heard this, he was very surprised, "There are other people involved in this, saying, who is it!" ”
"Yes, yes...... It's Rong'er's younger sister. ”
"Huang Rong?" Xie Xionghui asked, "Hehe, our family is really good, you guys are now working together to deceive me." Xie Xionghui said, laughing angrily.
"Little uncle, we know that we are wrong, please give us a chance, we will never make such a mistake again."
In the final analysis, one is his own brother, and the other is his own niece, seeing them crying so badly, Xie Xionghui couldn't bear it after all, thinking that now that the title deed and house deed have been recovered, it doesn't hurt to give them a chance to mend their ways.
Just when he was about to spare Xie Jiancheng and the others, he never thought that the two Xie Jieyou brothers would come over.
"I've seen my father."
Xie Xionghui saw them coming, so he put Xie Jiancheng and the others aside, "Why are you here, especially Yun'er, you are not in good health, what are you doing here?" ”
"Thank you Dad for your concern." Xie Yun replied, "I heard some things today, and I wanted to tell my father something in my heart, so I came over." ”
"Is there anything you can't say tomorrow? It's so late, what if I get caught with a chill? You'er, why don't you persuade your brother, and you are still with him. Xie Xionghui blamed.
"Father, you also know my brother's temperament, once he makes up his mind, we can't persuade him." Xie Jieyou spread her hands helplessly.
"Alas! One by one, you really don't let me worry. ”
"I wonder if my father can borrow one to speak?" Xie Yun smiled and asked.
Hearing this, although Xie Xionghui felt strange, his eldest son rarely opened his mouth once, so he agreed.
So, the three of them left Xie Jiancheng and the two of them into the inner room, and they didn't know what they said, but when the three of them came out a moment later, Xie Xionghui's face was solemn.
He sent the two brothers away, and watched their figures fade into the night, until they were out of sight, and then turned back to look at the father and daughter who had been kneeling there.
"I don't blame you for today's incident. It's just that from now on, the bridge will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, I will no longer care about your affairs, move out of the palace as soon as possible, as for those shops and fields, it will be regarded as a gift to you by our brothers, you can go! ”
Xie Jiancheng's father and daughter couldn't believe their ears, but after only half a moment's effort, Xie Xionghui actually wanted to drive them out of the palace.
Xie Jiancheng didn't give up, "Third brother, what do you mean by this?" ”
Literally. I'm annoyed too, so please do it. After speaking, Xie Xionghui left the two and turned to leave, sighing as he walked.
