Chapter 117: Tang Clan
Xingqing went down to make arrangements as she said, but the next day she sent a message from the Fang family.
The Fang family is also not restless this year, not only has something happen to their in-laws, but also their own family.
"The night before yesterday, the day the Tang family came back from the Lan Concubine Palace, a pregnant girl in Fang Yulin, the child suddenly fell off, and the Fang family insisted that the Tang family was drugged, and now she took her mistake and said that she wanted to divorce his wife!"
This kind of trick can be seen at a glance as a deliberate attempt to frame the Tang family, and the Fang family wants to dissociate themselves from the Tang family.
The Tang family is now unable to protect itself, and when they are begging the Fang family to save the Tang family, how can they dare to do something to their heirs?
Xingqing also said: "The Tang family has been married into the Fang family for nearly four years, and has not been able to give birth to a child, and she attaches great importance to this child in Tongfang, and plans to wait for the child to be born and brought over to raise it herself, it should not be her who did it." ”
Xingyun was listening, incomprehensible, and interjected: "If the Fang family did it themselves, it would be too ruthless!" In order to divorce his wife, even the unborn child is used, it is simply not human! ”
Gu Huanyi said: "From the fact that Fang Yurong burned Li Chengwen's outer room, you should know that the people of the Fang family are so ruthless, they act unscrupulously, and they don't care about human life. ”
Fang Yurong's temperament must have been influenced by his family, only such vicious things that he has seen since he was a child, can a twenty-year-old girl do such a vicious thing.
At the beginning, Gu Huanyi was just Fang Yurong's imaginary rival, she dared to be a killer, not to mention an outer room, a girl in the room?
Xingqing said again: "There is another rumor in the Fang family, but I don't know if it's true or not. It is said that the pregnancy tonic that the Fang family asked Tang to take every day was actually a child avoidance soup......"
Xingyun immediately said: "Why is the Fang family so strange, that is, they don't let the main room get pregnant, and they don't let the concubine room give birth to children, do they want to cut off their children and grandchildren on their own?" ”
Gu Huanyi was amused by Xingyun and said, "How can anyone want to cut off their children and grandchildren? This shows that the Fang family did not regard the Tang family as an eldest daughter-in-law from the beginning, and planned to let Young Master Fang divorce his wife and marry another. At the beginning, the Fang family agreed to hire the Tang family as their daughter-in-law, probably in order to use the Tang family's manpower in the palace to support Concubine Lan, but now that the use is over, the Tang family will be abandoned by them. If a new daughter-in-law marries in, then the room and the child are eyesore, and the Fang family wants to take advantage of this matter to get rid of them together. ”
After speaking, Gu Huanyi shook his head, everyone up and down the Fang family is so ruthless, Fang Yurong is not soft on other people's wives and concubines, and her brother Fang Yulin is the same for his own wives and concubines, as long as they hinder their way, they will do whatever it takes.
As an insider in Shen's case, Tang was an important witness.
Gu Huanyi pondered for a while, and had an idea in his heart, planning to discuss it with Li Congxin.
After asking Liu Pei to bring a message to Li Congxin, Li Congxin came to look for her at night, and it happened that Shen's case had also made some progress, and he said it to Gu Huanyi.
"An autopsy has found out that Shen was killed. Not only did she have scars on her hands, but she also had bruises on her chest, which she was supposed to have been pressed to the water's edge and drowned, and then thrown into the well. Now Tang Hao and the people around the Shen family have been imprisoned, but no one has relented, it should be that they want to survive until the Lantern Festival and wait for the Fang family to save them. ”
Gu Huanyi sighed for a while, Shen was pressed by the water and drowned in his own home, it was really miserable.
And the murderer is most likely her husband!
Gu Huanyi told Li Congxin the news that Xingyun and Xingqing had inquired about, and then said: "If you can interrogate the Tang family, you will have a witness." ”
Li Congxin hesitated a little and said: "Although the Tang family is not on good terms with the Fang family, but when she really arrives in Dongchang, she may not let go, after all, it is a matter of life and death for the Fang and Tang families, and she may not be willing to burn the jade." ”
Gu Huanyi said: "I want to meet her and say a few words to her." ”
Li Congxin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you know?" ”
Gu Huanyi asked quietly: "Shizi, if my guess is right, in his previous life, did Fang Yulin marry two wives?" ”
Li Cong thought about it for a while, he was not impressed by the affairs of the inner house, but at that time, the Fang family was in full swing, although Fang Fuyin was no longer the prime minister, but his son was a first-class Xinguo Gong, and his granddaughter Fang Yurong married Li Chengxu, who was about to become the prince, as the imperial concubine, how could the eldest grandson marry a general?
Li Congxin nodded and said, "After Fang Yulin died of illness, he married Zhong Yao, the young lady of Rongguo Mansion. ”
After saying that, he realized something and muttered, "...... death"
Gu Huanyi nodded and said, "If the Tang clan is not arrested again, she is afraid that her life will not be long before there will be no witnesses." ”
Li Congxin knew that Gu Huanyi's worries were reasonable, no matter whether Tang was willing to recruit or not, it would be better to take care of her first.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day of the family reunion, the people of Dongchang broke into the Fang Bo Mansion and took the Tang family away, causing an uproar in the city.
On the Gu family's side, Gu Huanyi went to the Song family with his brother to attend the Lantern Festival banquet.
The lively family had dinner, and a group of brothers and sisters invited to the street to see the lanterns.
Song Xiangjun, Song Jinjun brothers and sisters, plus Jiang Weifeng shared a car.
Gu Huanyi, Gu Jiayi's brothers and sisters, plus Zheng Qing shared a car.
There are also Song Zhengrui and Zheng's husband and wife who take another car, called taking care of the younger generation, but in fact, the Zheng family also wants to play on the street.
Three cars drove into the West Market, and the lively lamp market was already crowded.
Gu Huanyi stood at the entrance of the market and didn't go in, pointed to the Defu Building on the side and said to the little uncle: "There are too many people, I won't go, I'll drink tea upstairs and wait for you." ”
Song Zhengrui felt a little pity and said, "It's all here, aren't you going to play?" ”
Gu Huanyi smiled and said, "The prince said that he would come to me after the palace banquet, so I will wait for him first." ”
Moving out of Li Congxin, everyone had nothing to say, and they all smiled and said that they would take the first step and wait for her and the prince in the largest light tower.
In the Defu Building, Liu Pei was already waiting inside, and after meeting him, Gu Huanyi first changed into a simple black clothes, put on a cloak, and followed Liu Pei out of the back door of the Defu Building, and took a carriage to the Yamen of the East Factory in the south of the city.
In the yamen of the East Factory, the Tang family was like a frightened bird, sitting tense in an iron prison.
There were four brocade guards standing at the door of the prison, and the tiger-headed shoulder guards on their shoulders were like hideous beasts trying to devour her, so that she didn't dare to look at them again.
Since she was arrested early in the morning, Tang has been waiting for people to interrogate, and she has thought of countless ways to deal with it in her mind, but after waiting for a day, no one has come to say a word to her.
Just as she was on the verge of collapse, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the iron prison, and a slender man in black walked in under a cloak and stopped at the door of her cell.
The brocade-clothed guards who were guarding rushed out, and when only the man in black and the Tang clan were left, the man in black slowly pulled out a dagger with a short arm length from under the cloak.
The dagger reflected the cold light of the full moon, making Tang's scalp tingle.
Tang got up tremblingly, leaned against the wall behind him, and collapsed and said, "No, you can't kill me...... I didn't say anything, I didn't go out of the seller's house! My Tang family has never been sorry for you, you can't treat me like this! ”
