Chapter 59: Death
"Master Hou, someone from Xia, say...... Said to send the bones and relics of the eldest lady. "As an old man in the mansion, Tang Fu knows that there are some things that can be hidden, and some things that cannot be hidden.
Even if Tang Shiyu was a fool, the Tang Mansion did not admit her identity as the eldest lady, but outsiders didn't think so. Now that people are dying outside for no reason, they still need Hou Ye to get ideas, so he doesn't dare to slack off.
"What did you say?" Tang Baixuan was drinking tea slowly, and when he heard Tang Fu's words, his hand shook and the teacup in his hand shattered on the ground.
"Someone from Xiatai County said that the carriage that the eldest lady was riding fell off a cliff and there were no bones." Tang Fu pretended not to see Tang Baixuan's gaffe, the master's gaffe was not something that only they slaves could see.
"Let them in, I'm going to ask." After Tang Baixuan finished speaking, the whole person collapsed on the chair, and in addition to the trace of sadness in his heart, the rest was more relief. Tang Shiyu's existence is the shame of their Tang Mansion, and now it doesn't matter if people are dead.
After a while, Tang Fu came in with two officials, who were from Xiatai County. They thought that the deceased was from the Hou Mansion, and they came to deliver the letter, which would give them some benefits, and with such a purpose, they came.
"What evidence do you have to prove that the deceased is from my Hou Mansion?" Tang Baixuan has sorted out his emotions, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is a father who does not have the pain of losing his daughter.
"Master Hou, please take a look!" A servant handed the cloth bag in his hand to Tang Fu, and in the pile of coarse linen luggage, he actually found the household registration of the eldest lady of the post marquis's mansion, and they had also been suspicious.
Tang Fu took it in his hand and put it on the table on the side, opened the coarse cloth outside, and found that it was a blue cloth inside, and when he opened it again, he saw a book of household registration on a pile of coarse linen.
There were blood stains on the household registration and the bag of coarse linen, and Tang Fu's heart sank subconsciously. Because he knew these clothes, he had seen Mother Xu and Tang Shiyu wear them.
Tang Baixuan took the household registration presented by Tang Fu, and opened it to see that it was Tang Shiyu's household registration.
Household registration is equivalent to a modern ID card, no matter where you go, as long as there is a place to set up a checkpoint, you will not be allowed to pass without a household registration. If you trespass, you will be caught as a spy and put in prison, and you may lose your life, so household registration was a very important thing for the ancients.
And Tang Shiyu's household registration not only returned to the Tang Mansion, but also had blood stains on it. At a glance, you can see that there is more luck and less luck, and the hope of survival is very slim.
Tang Shiyu took the risk of throwing away the household registration for the credibility of death. She thought that when she had money, she would reissue a fake one, and there must be money to make the ghost grind.
Two officials also recounted the results of their investigation, and two or three days after the incident, the hunters who had entered the mountain found the carriage broken under the cliff. As for the corpses, they did not see them, only that there were a lot of flesh and broken bones on the ground.
Experienced hunters point out that these must be the bones of the man who fell. Who let this be a deep mountain and old forest, and there are fierce beasts everywhere.
In the end, they found this household registration in a bag of luggage, and they also had the idea of a blind cat touching a dead mouse, and they also came here to confirm whether the deceased was from the Hou Mansion.
"Prepare some coils for them, take them down!" Tang Baixuan had already confirmed that the deceased was Tang Shiyu and his party, and he gave Tang Fu a look in a place where the two officials could not see.
But he now has a doubt in his heart, he asked people to send Tang Shiyu back to Dengfeng Ancestral Land, why did people have an accident in Xiaqi? If you want to go the wrong way, at most a few wrong steps, it is impossible to go around that far.
He cast his eyes on the back house, what the Lin family had done over the years, he had seen it in his eyes to some extent, but he did not stop it. He has anger towards Zheng Guogong's Mansion in his heart, but he wants to show it badly to make people laugh.
Therefore, Lin's behavior, he let it go, with a trace of the reason for resentment. But no matter what, Tang Shiyu is also his own flesh and blood, Lin rubbed her a little, he wouldn't say anything, he shouldn't want her life.
"Why is Master Hou here? Quick, go make a new pot of tea for Hou Ye. As soon as Lin saw Tang Baixuan come to her yard, he was so happy that he didn't see the other party's face full of iron blue.
"Slut, you dare to mutilate the heirs of the Hou Mansion." Tang Baixuan felt a little guilty about Tang Shiyu's death, but he told himself that she died well, but he was still a little unhappy. With nowhere to vent, he had no choice but to vent his anger on Lin's body.
"Master Hou, you hit me?" Lin, who fell to the ground, covered his face and looked at him in disbelief. They have been married for so many years, and the other party has never beaten her like this.
"Say, did you instruct someone to do something to the rain?" Tang Baixuan stared at Lin's eyes, and after he finished speaking, he saw a trace of weakness in Lin's eyes. The facts are in front of him, and it is possible that it was really Lin who did it.
"Why did the Hou Ye wronged the concubine so much, the concubine treated Yu'er as if she were her own flesh and blood, but in the end, she was wronged by the Hou Ye like this." Lin didn't get up, and leaned over the ground and cried.
"You and I have been husband and wife for many years, in order to make up for the grievances you suffered at the beginning, I turned a blind eye to everything you did, but you shouldn't ......" Seeing Lin crying so aggrieved, Tang Baixuan was also a little unbearable, he must have been a husband and wife for so many years.
"The concubine doesn't know why the Hou Ye is so angry, and she will ...... when she comes in" Lin's cry became more and more desolate, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"They are heading to Dengfeng, why did the carriage fall off the cliff in Xiaqi?" He was a little lucky in his heart, hoping that this matter was not done by the Lin family. Then this matter can be treated as an accident, and he doesn't have to feel so guilty in his heart.
"Maybe they went down to Dengfeng, as for why they took a detour, how could the concubines know in the backyard. Maybe Mother Xu made her own opinion, where is she like a subordinate in our Hou Mansion. Lin hinted slightly, and put the blame on Xu's mother, anyway, there is no proof of death.
The Lin family, who had a sad face, couldn't stop feeling proud in her heart, Tang Shiyu finally died, and the person who was the most eye-catching to her finally disappeared.
"You really didn't do it?" Tang Baixuan also knows a little bit about the Lin family, she doesn't have the brain to plan so carefully.
The reason why he married the Lin family in the first place was also because of this, he liked women who were easy to control, and he didn't like women who were as strong as the Su family.
"The concubine swears" that the Lin family, who is difficult to ride a tiger, can only swear in order to gain his trust. The ancients made the heaviest oath, and her words also made Tang Baixuan believe a little.
"Well, you discuss with your mother what to do." Tang Baixuan lost his temper, not to find out to the end, but to relieve his spiritual guilt.
Therefore, Tang Baixuan's character is indecisive and unassertive, and he only thinks about shirking responsibility when he encounters anything.
The decline of the Yihou Mansion also has his reasons, his passability, and the preservation of his self are all the reasons for the decline.
