Hearing Liu Changfeng say that he wanted to split up, the Wang family was not very happy.

Although the relationship between their Liu family is blunt now, but with the old lady here, even Liu Mu doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, there is nothing bad.

Liu Changfeng said: "The separation of the family may not be for us to move out, why can't we move out of the big house?"

Liu Yang said: "Your uncle is the eldest son, even if he moves out of the old mansion separately, it won't be his turn." ”

Wang said: "Yes, what do you think a calculating person like your uncle and aunt can snatch from them?"

It's not that they are not confident, and all along, unless there are special circumstances, it is the eldest son who inherits the old house, and the others move out.

Of course, there are also cases where the family is not divided, but if that is the case, this family does not need to be divided again, and now this situation is about the same, and the people in the big house are too lazy to pay attention to their second and third rooms.

Liu Changfeng said: "This time and that time, it may not have been possible before, but who can say for sure now? Now the Liu family's big house is on the cusp, and even Dali Temple believes that he killed someone, if this crime is confirmed, our three rooms will definitely be implicated." ”

Wang sighed.

In fact, the status of their three rooms is not high, anyone in this Chang'an City can bully the people who kick it, what Liu Qingyun did before has made the three rooms lose face, and now they will be pointed at even when they go out, she feels uncomfortable.

Originally, Liu Changyuan was involved in the murder case, but she was very happy in her heart, she couldn't wait to see the big house unlucky, but if the big house was unlucky, it would inevitably implicate the third room.

They are all members of the Liu family, whether it is a big house, a second room or a third room, in the eyes of others, they are just "Liu family".

In the future, when it was time for her two sons Liu Changfeng and Liu Changting to say goodbye, if people knew that they had a cousin who killed the young lady of the family, they would definitely not want to marry such a family.

The status of their three rooms is low enough, and they originally expected their two sons to be able to soar, but they are generally studying, if they take the imperial examination, they will definitely not be able to go, and I don't know how many years they will have to take the exam to get a lifter, let alone a jinshi.

The text is not good, and there is no hope for practicing martial arts, so he thinks that someone can recommend him to be an official, but Liu Yuan has no real power in the Zhongshu Order, and he can only recommend a small official with a big sesame, although Liu Mu is a squire in the military department, but how can he hope to see the third room good.

So I can only hope that they can climb other families, so that there is a way out.

But ordinary families probably won't look down on them, let alone talk about Liu Qingyun and Liu Changyuan.

"Then what can be done, even if Liu Changyuan is not good, it is your cousin. Wang gritted his teeth and said, the scholar clan is like this, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

Liu Changfeng said: "Mother, it is precisely because of this that we have to split up." ”

Liu Yang and Wang were a little puzzled when they heard Liu Changfeng's words.

Liu Changfeng said: "Think about it, now that Liu Changyuan's matter comes out, it will definitely be spurned by the people of the entire Chang'an, and we will definitely be implicated...... Who will blame us for standing on the opposite side of the big house, accusing them in turn, and declaring to the outside world that we are not with them, and we are angry that we are separated from each other?"

As soon as his words fell, Liu Yang and Wang looked at each other, and they were quiet for a while, thinking about whether his words were feasible.

I have to say that their husband and wife are indeed a little moved.

Liu Changfeng continued: "If this is the case, others will definitely think that the people in our third room are high-spirited, and if they don't get along with these troublesome villains, they will naturally look up to us." Anyway, the people in the big house don't want to see us anymore, even if they don't separate the family, they won't help us, they will only affect us, so why not take advantage of them at this time?"

Liu Yang said: "However, after all, your uncle is a squire of the military department, if it wasn't for his care, I wouldn't have my current position." ”

"Father should not be short-sighted. Liu Changfeng said, "Now that there are so many families in Chang'an, and how arrogant the scholars are, naturally some people will appreciate my father's arrogance." Anyway, now that my father's position is already in place, and my uncle won't give you any more promotions, what's the use of being good to him? Could it be that he still has to embarrass his father because of this? This will only leave him with a voice. ”

Wang listened to his son's words, thought about it seriously, and nodded.

"I think it's doable," she said. ”

Liu Yang was still a little hesitant.

If such a thing as a family separation was brought up by him, he would be somewhat worried.

Wang saw her husband hesitate like this, and said, "It's better for you to discuss with the second brother." ”

If Liu Nan agrees, things will be much simpler.

Liu Yang was moved and responded: "Okay, I'll go to the second brother to discuss later, if he agrees, it's fine, if he doesn't agree, then give up." ”

"Don't worry, the second uncle will definitely agree. Liu Changfeng said.

Dafang was still thinking about how to deal with Liu Changyuan's affairs and how to return his innocence, while the people in the third room had already begun to think about how to divide the family.

Ji Yanning naturally didn't know that she was resting on the bed, but she had already sent Jinhe out to keep an eye on this matter.

Rong Che returned to Ji Yanning's courtyard and told her what happened in the front yard just now.

Ji Yanning's eyes were slightly sunken, and his brain was a little dizzy.

She said: "The Zeng wife Niu you saw should be Zeng Yushi's stepfamily, Zeng Ruoyu is the eldest daughter born to Zeng Yushi and the original wife, and died of illness shortly after giving birth to the child, Zeng Yushi married Niu. Later, Niu himself gave birth to two more girls and a boy, and became the wife of the Zeng family. ”

Ji Yanning not only collected the information of hundreds of civil and military officials, but also had a general understanding of their family situation, she has always had a good memory, she has seen a lot, and she remembers a lot.

"But what I found out is that although this Niu clan is good to Zeng Ruoyu on the surface, she secretly bullied a lot, Zeng Ruoyu is dead, she shouldn't be so aggressive to come to the door. Ji Yanning groaned for a while, and said, "In fact, it's okay to come to the door to confront people without her coming, but she just came over, could it be that others can see their mother-daughter relationship?"

Rong Che said: "There is something wrong with this Niu, I will go back and let people check her carefully." ”

Ji Yanning's face was a little pale, and she smiled at Rong Che: "And my cousin is in Dali Temple, let Duan Wuflaw take care of it more, don't let him suffer." ”

She also knew a thing or two about the interrogation in Dali Temple, and she was a little cruel, she didn't want Liu Changyuan to be treated like that.

Rong Che nodded and said, "You have a good rest, I'll deal with this matter." ”

Ji Yanning answered, and then saw Pearl coming over with a decoction, and sighed bitterly.

I knew I wouldn't play in the water.

Liu Changyuan was escorted to Dali Temple, Duan Wufang looked at the case of the Liu family, and he had some impression of Liu Changyuan, so he took the case himself.

There is no need for Rong Che to remind him, Duan Wuflaw will not torture Liu Changyuan, after all, this case is really suspicious.

First of all, Liu Changyuan's motive for killing, Liu Changyuan is the second son of Liu Mu, the squire of the military department, even if he fell in love with the young lady of the Zeng family and was rejected, according to Liu Changyuan's character, it is difficult for people to believe that he would do something to kill, if it is just to vent his anger, this seems a bit far-fetched.

There is also the fact that if Liu Changyuan really killed someone that day, this way of disposing of the corpse seems to be too simple, just throw the person in an abandoned yard, sooner or later someone will be discovered, and he saw Miss Zeng that day, that is something that several maids know, how could he expose his identity so much?

Liu Changyuan was imprisoned in the cell of Dali Temple, and he didn't speak all the time, just stayed in the most corner, curled up in a ball, and didn't even move the food that was delivered.

When Duan Wufang walked to his cell, he couldn't help frowning when he saw such a scene.

"Open the door. Duan Wufang said.

The cell boss behind him heard Duan Wufang's order, and immediately took out the key and stepped forward to unlock the cell door.

Duan Wufeng walked in, looked down condescendingly at Liu Changyuan, who was huddled in the haystack in the corner, and said, "What, you really killed the person?"

Liu Changyuan looked up and saw Duan Wufang, shook his head and said, "No, how could I kill her." ”

Duan Wufang said: "Since you didn't kill people, why are you like this?

Liu Changyuan stood up and said, "I did see her that day, but I don't know why she was poisoned. ”

Duan Wuflaw asked again: "What did you say when you met her that day?"

Liu Changyuan lowered his eyes and shook his head: "It's just some irrelevant words." ”

Duan Wufeng listened to Liu Changyuan's answer, a little dissatisfied.

"If you want to clear your name, you'd better tell me everything word for word. Duan Wuflaw said, "You also know that the Zeng family has been biting you now, so you think that you are the murderer who killed Zeng Ruoyu, if you don't cooperate, just confess directly." ”

Liu Changyuan heard Duan Wuflawless say this, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass Duan Shaoqing, it's because I really didn't have a few words with Miss Zeng when we met that day, I met her in the bookstore, because I met her once before, so I greeted her and asked her what books she came to the bookstore to buy, she said to buy a book of poetry, and then I helped her find it, she said thank you, and left." ”

"That's it?" Duan Wufang was obviously a little unconvinced.

Liu Changyuan shook his head, and then said: "It happened to rain heavily the day before that day, so the road was not easy to walk, so I said to send her for a while, and then sent her to the small street near Zengfu, and then left. Along the way, we just talked about the poetry collection, and nothing else. ”

"Did you bring the little guy with you that day?" Duan Wuflawless asked.

Liu Changyuan lowered his eyes: "No." ”
