Chapter 133: Questioning
"Is the lobby able to answer my question now?" Xie Yanhe turned a blind eye to Xie Yu's tragic situation, and she said in a calm tone.
A deep chill surged in Xie Yu's heart. He pulled the corners of his lips very reluctantly: "Cousin, do you really think that the second uncle was killed by me?" ”
"Not so." Xie Yanhe said in a cold tone: "The letter that Xie Jin and Wei Jian secretly colluded with has long since fallen into the hands of the prince. The prince has been hiding it, does the cousin think that the prince is kind-hearted and wants to let go of the Xie family? ”
Xie Yanhe sneered lightly: "If the evidence is conclusive, my cousin doesn't have to be lucky." ”
Xie Yu's pupils shrank violently, and a huge sense of panic suddenly filled his heart. Prince...... How did the prince know?!
What about the father? He is locked up here, where is his father?
Xie Yanhe didn't give Xie Yu much time to think, she said slowly: "Back then, it was you and Xie Jin who got the time for His Majesty to attack the city from my father, and fought an ambush battle in advance. It's a pity, Your Majesty, he is destined to return, even if Wei Jian prepared in advance, he was still defeated. ”
Xie Yanhe changed his words and asked with a smile: "Cousin, when you and your eldest uncle betrayed their relatives, did you think of this day?" ”
Xie Yu couldn't answer this question.
Back then, my father asked His Majesty about His Majesty's plan to attack the city from his second uncle, and he immediately sent the letter to the Five Princes' Mansion in person. At that time, my father was full of wanting to overpower his second uncle, and his heart was full of ecstasy about success, and he couldn't sleep with excitement, waiting for news from the front line.
However, neither he nor his father thought that the Five Princes would fail.
Knowing that His Majesty had invaded the capital, my father picked up the sword in the study several times, but he never had the courage to kill himself.
As a result, a day later, my father actually received the news that the second uncle had died for King Yong's arrow, and he and his father were like two drowning people who finally caught a piece of driftwood, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Especially when the second aunt was martyred later, there will never be anyone in the Xie family who doubts their father and son. Xie Yu was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
However, what Xie Yu and Xie Jin's father and son never expected was that the truth that had been sealed for so many years would be exposed in such a sudden way. Should we say, "It's not that the time has not come"?
Xie Yu made a "ho-ho" sound in his throat, he closed his eyes, and looked appointed: "If you want to kill, you must chop, listen to the respect." ”
Xie Yanhe's peach blossom eyes narrowed.
"Brother Lobby, who introduced the eldest uncle to Wei Jian?"
Xie Yu's body stiffened, endured the sharp pain at the severed finger, and said calmly: "I don't know what you're talking about." If you have anything to say, you might as well ask my father. ”
Under the fence, Xie Yanhe laughed lightly and said meaningfully: "Dead people can't speak. ”
"What did you say?" Xie Yu couldn't believe what he was hearing. His eyes were red, and his gaze at Xie Yanhe was full of resentment.
"It's you! Did you hurt my father? ”
"Brother Lobby, it was the people behind the scenes who wanted to kill people and put poison in the chicken soup that the eldest aunt brought to the eldest uncle." Xie Yanhe would not bear this charge in vain, she said very regretfully: "The eldest uncle should thank the people behind the scenes, if I let me do it, I won't let the eldest uncle go so happily." ”
When Xie Yu heard this, his eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife, and he looked up at the ethereal and noble woman in front of him like a flowing cloud, and his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the fence to judge whether she was lying.
"Don't you believe me?" Xie Yanhe instantly saw through the little luck hidden in Xie Yu's eyes, and she said extremely cruelly: "The body of the eldest uncle is parked in the middle hall of Xie Guogong's mansion, without His Majesty's will, the subordinates don't even dare to prepare a thin coffin." ”
Xie Yu's heart suddenly felt an unspeakable pain, and he forcibly held back the tears in his eyes, his father ...... My father went like this.
"What about my mother?" Xie Yu's eyes were red, and there was an unconcealable sadness in his voice.
Xie Yanhe's heart suddenly rose with a sense of revenge. Sure enough, the knife still has to be pierced in his heart before he knows the pain.
The cold glint in Peach Blossom's eyes flashed away, and Xie Yanhe smiled, lest Xie Yu couldn't hear her gloating: "I heard that the eldest aunt couldn't stand the stimulation, and fainted on the spot, and after waking up, she couldn't even get off the bed." As for your brother and sister Du Shi, they swallowed gold and died. The people who can be in charge of the Xie Guogong Mansion are sick and dead, and the mansion has been in chaos. ”
Xie Yanhe admired Xie Yu's increasingly painful expression, and chuckled: "Brother Hall, the tree is falling and scattered!" ”
"Cousin, are you very proud?" Xie Yu's cheeks were bruised, and he laughed wildly: "My father's crime of rebellion is to be committed by the Nine Clans!" Cousin, don't forget, your surname is also Xie, do you think you will be able to get out of the way?! ”
Shen Faxing, who had been sitting on the wall and watching, heard this, and the afterglow from the corner of his eyes fell on the body of the county lord of Yonghe without leaving a trace, and he also muttered in his heart.
Xie Yanhe took a few steps back and sat on the Taishi chair that the jailer had moved, her fingers playing with the tassels on the jade pendant, her eyelashes drooping slightly, and she smiled smartly: "Otherwise? Brother, you're a prisoner, and I'm ......."
Xie Yanhe looked sideways at Shen Faxing, who was also sitting, and said with a smile: "Brother Lobby, has a pair of white eyes, Lord Shen is so polite to me, don't you see?" ”
"Clever tongue, I don't know you're not playing!" Xie Yu snorted lightly, not believing Xie Yanhe's words.
Even if the second uncle has saved His Majesty's life, the merits and demerits are compensated, where did the cousin get the confidence to be so arrogant.
"Brother Lobby's words are really funny." Xie Yan and Meimei's eyes were glazed, and their red lips opened and closed, but their words were like knives: "Let me play with Lord Shen, are you also worthy?" ”
"You!" Xie Yu was so angry by Xie Yanhe's contemptuous attitude that he opened his mouth and spewed out a pool of blood.
Xie Yu found that he had never understood this cousin.
Before the prince withdrew from the marriage, Xie Yanhe was the proud daughter of heaven who was raised in the palace by the saint and was much favored. There are rumors about how she is favored and how domineering she is. After the prince divorced, Xie Yanhe was sent to Jiangnan and disappeared from the capital.
When I came back from Jiangnan this time, I heard from my wife that my cousin had changed a lot, gentle, virtuous, and very delicate and weak of some women in the water town.
But now, Xie Yanhe was standing in front of him, and he could lightly order the maid to cut off his fingers, and even regret that his uncle died too happily and did not suffer much torture. The words are mean, and the words pierce the heart! This is simply a scheming femme fatale, and she can't complain that the prince would withdraw from the marriage in the first place.
Xie Yu completely forgot that when he was harming his uncle, he didn't feel any guilt.
"Brother Hall, I don't have time to talk to you, who introduced the eldest uncle to Wei Jian?"
Xie Yanhe noticed Xie Yu's trance, and couldn't help repeating his question again. Xie Yanhe believed Wei Zhao's judgment. Since Wei Zhao said that there is a mastermind behind this matter, there must be.
Xie Yu raised his bare right hand with difficulty, wiped the blood stains on his lips at will, he snorted coldly, and said with a resentful expression: "Cousin's question, you might as well leave it on Huangquan Road and ask my father." ”
When Xie Yanhe heard this, she was not angry, she even bent her lips happily, and sighed: "This person always doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin." ”
Xie Yanhe looked sideways at Shen Faxing, and even his tone was gentle and gentle: "Lord Shen, I don't know where my nephew is held." I haven't seen each other for many days, and my little aunt misses it very much. ”
Shen Faxing was stunned. Without His Majesty's orders, Xie Yu's family did not do anything, but were locked in a separate room. How can you listen to the meaning of the county lord of Yonghe, he actually wants to torture Xie Yu's family? Contact the secrets he just heard, brothers are on the wall, and they are in the same room, this Xie family is all werewolves!
"Xie Yanhe, what do you want to do! Brother Lin is your own nephew! Xie Yu's eyes were split, and he couldn't wait to rush up and fight with Xie Yanhe.
Xie Yu's frightened and resentful shout reminded Shen Faxing, he quickly came back to his senses, removed the stunned look in his eyes, and arched his hand towards Xie Yanhe: "County Lord, the lower official will let someone invite Xie Lin over." ”
"Thank you, Lord Shen." Xie Yanhe thanked him calmly.
Shen Faxing raised his eyebrows and hurriedly looked at the jailer on the side.
It wasn't until the jailer left the cell that Xie Yu realized that his cousin was not intimidating him, but wanted to come for real!
The anger in Xie Yu's heart seemed to have fallen on a thick layer of ice and snow, and even the last trace of residual heat was extinguished.
Xie Yu begged bitterly: "Yan He, Brother Hall, please do things by yourself, don't let Brother Lin come over, Brother Lin will be scared when he sees me like this." Cousin, cousin please! ”
Xie Yanhe didn't seem to hear it, no matter whether Xie Yu scolded or pleaded, he turned a deaf ear.
Xie Yu looked desperate, he curled up on the ground in pain, his hoarse throat was like a dying trapped beast, and he let out one miserable howl after another, so terrible, crying blood, even the jailers in the cell felt their scalps tingle.
Xie Yanhe looked indifferent, she turned around, showed a sweet smile to Mama Gong, and said leisurely: "Mama, you see, Xie Yu is not completely inhuman, and he also has the feeling of licking calves. It's just that when I was seven years old, I plunged into my father's coffin on the top of the mourning hall, and I don't know if my father had the same heartache......"
Although Xie Yanhe had a soft and smiling tone, Mama Gong heard the heaviness in it. The death of the first marquis has always been an insignificant wound in the county lord's heart, and after so many years, not only has it not scabbed, but it is still bleeding.
Mama Gong felt sad for a while, and couldn't help but hug Xie Yan and the weak shoulders, and comforted softly: "The first marquis loved you the most during his lifetime, if you know under the spring, I don't know how much heartache it should be......"
Xie Yanhe pinched his palm hard, so that fragile tears did not roll out of his eyes. Now that he can kill his enemy for his father's sword, he should be happy.
Xie Yu is still scolding and begging angrily, Xie Yanhe and Mama Gong are immersed in a sad atmosphere, although the girl's back is as straight as ever, always arrogant and arrogant, Shen Faxing still perceives the girl's very sad mood even if she is separated by the power fence.
He sighed softly, and couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy and pity for Xie Yanhe. There are many rights and wrongs in the door of the mansion. This Yonghe county lord has become a ruthless person now, and I don't know how many grievances he has suffered.
Although Xie Yu's family is not locked up in the Imperial Prison, the house where they are detained is not far from the Imperial Prison.
Xie Lin was quickly brought in.
Although the fourteen-year-old boy is still immature between his eyebrows and eyes, he already has the demeanor of a handsome boy between his gestures, but a child is a child, and he suddenly stepped into such a gloomy and terrifying place as the Imperial Prison, although his eyes were covered with a layer of black cloth, and he could not see the surrounding environment clearly, but his exposed face was still pale with fright, and a pair of arms hanging down from his waist were trembling incessantly.
After entering the cell where Xie Yu was being held, the jailer pushed Xie Lin in front of Xie Yu.
Xie Yu didn't dare to let himself make a sound, a bloodstained face was sobbing, he kept kowtowing in the direction of Xie Yanhe, and his dark eyes were full of pleading and desperate looks.
For Xie Yu's pain, Xie Yanhe directly turned a blind eye. If you know today, why bother in the first place!
"Take the strip off." Shen Faxing commanded the jailer.
The jailer got the order and took off the strip of cloth from Xie Lin's eyes.
At the same time, Xie Yu hurriedly turned his head and cried bitterly and stuck into the haystack.
Xie Lin immediately heard his father's voice, the moment the cloth was taken off, he was stunned at first, and after seeing the miserable condition of the people on the ground, he struggled desperately, crying out: "Father! Father! What's wrong with you! Who did it to you? Don't scare me! Father ......"
Xie Yu cried "woo", not daring to look back at his son.
Seeing this, Xie Yanhe pursed his lips and said to the young man, "Brother Lin, come to my aunt." ”
The woman's voice was as clear as water and sweet as sugar at odds with this eerie, bloody cell.
Brother Lin raised his eyelids, he turned around and glanced blankly, and after seeing the woman on the Taishi's chair clearly, he cried and pounced: "Auntie! Aunt! ”
This time, the jailer let go of Xie Lin's hand and let Xie Lin pounce on Xie Yanhe's lap.
"My poor brother Lin, are you frightened?" Xie Yanhe's voice was like a spring breeze turning into rain, extremely soft.
Xie Lin's tears fell on Xie Yanhe's knees, and after a while, her skirt was wet, and the young man's voice trembled, full of pain and fear: "Auntie, what's wrong?" Why is my father locked up here? And the hand of the father, the hand of the father ......"
Xie Yanhe raised her fingers, her slender jade fingers gently rubbed Xie Lin's hair, and she said softly: "Brother Lin, because your father made a mistake, he was locked up here......
"Impossible! Aunt! How could my father make a mistake! The father must have been wronged! Xie Lin wiped his tears with his sleeve, his clear eyes were full of admiration, and he looked at Xie Yanhe with trembling eyes, like a young beast seeking protection: "Auntie, great-grandmother let our family go back to our ancestral hometown." We met robbers on our way. My mother and I were in the carriage, and I didn't know what was going on, and the man fainted and woke up to find us locked up...... Auntie, what the hell is wrong? What's going on? ”
Xie Lin is the eldest grandson of Xie Guogong's mansion, and he is favored by his grandmother and mother, even Xie Guogong, a grandfather who has always been dignified and stern, has not even said a word in front of his eldest grandson.
Xie Lin grew to such a big time smoothly, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the pride of the sky, but he can't believe it, he just slept for a while, and when he woke up again, the sky collapsed.
His father was gone, and he was locked up in a house with his mother and sister, and he was never noticed. And then...... And here it is......
"Poor boy." Xie Yanhe sighed, and said quietly: "The eldest uncle and the eldest brother colluded with the traitors and conspired to rebel, after the incident, your grandfather was poisoned, and the person has already left......
"Xie Yanhe, you poisonous woman! I'm fighting with you! Xie Yu gritted his teeth, used the last bit of strength in his body, and pounced towards Xie Yanhe......
It's a pity that before the others arrived in front of Xie Yanhe, they were already stopped by the jailers.
Xie Lin felt a strong sense of disobedience from the first sentence Xie Yanhe said, and now, he finally knew where this sense of disobedience was.
Why...... Why is the father embarrassed and overwhelmed, but the little aunt is neatly dressed and sitting on the Taishi chair, which is distinct.
Xie Lin staggered away from Xie Yanhe's side, not knowing where to hide.
"Lin'er, Lin'er, come here! Come here! Xie Yu roared.
Xie Yu's crazy expression made Xie Lin subconsciously shrink his body back, and he stood there in a daze......
His father has always been gentle and gentle, and when he talks to himself, he is always like a spring breeze. But the person in front of him was ragged and embarrassed, not even as a beggar on the street. The wounds on his body, in particular, were eerie and horrible, like a demon crawling out of hell......
Xie Lin felt a strong sense of strangeness from the man in front of him, and he cowered and didn't dare to go over......
Seeing this, Xie Yu felt a deep chill in his heart, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were still blurry. Xie Yu tried his best to soften his voice, and said softly: "Lin'er, come here, don't trust your aunt......"
Xie Lin's eyes trembled, and he took trembling steps in the direction of Xie Yu......
Xie Yanhe smiled, looking like he was watching a good show: "Brother Hall, you frightened Brother Lin." Brother Lin doesn't want to go over, so why should you force it? ”
"Auntie!" When Xie Lin heard this, a pair of eyes looked at Xie Yanhe cautiously, and his body couldn't help but deviate in the direction of Xie Yanhe.
The scene in front of her was very ironic, and even Mama Gong felt extremely happy. She bent her knees towards Xie Lin with a loving face, and said softly: "Young Master Lin, you can persuade your father well, as long as you tell the mastermind behind the scenes, you don't have to suffer." ”
Mama Gong made a pun.
