Chapter 65: I'll Give You Justice
Jiang Changxi's gaze crossed Qingrong and Sui Anhou, she wanted to see that person's face, and wanted to see her expression at this time. But he has always been timid and did not dare to put it into practice.
Rubbing the embroidery on the sachet is exactly the same as the embroidery on the bookbag she made for Ah Yan.
Thinking of Ah Yan and his brother, Jiang Changxi still compromised. She closed her eyes and heard Sui Anhou say unhappily: "Human and material evidence? Mrs. Wang is a human witness, and the sachet in your hand is stained with the smell of scorpion-like grass, which is physical evidence! What else do you have to say! ”
"Human and material evidence, it has to be true!" Jiang Changxi put his hand on Qingrong's shoulder, although Qingrong was worried that Sui Anhou would suddenly make trouble, but she would not disobey Jiang Changxi's will, and her steps retreated, standing beside Jiang Changxi to guard.
Jiang Changxi looked at the Wang Pozi kneeling at her feet, and just followed An Hou to make trouble, the posture that really wanted to kill Jiang Changxi scared her to death, and she was already paralyzed on the ground. Now that she heard Sui Anhou and Jiang Changxi mention her one after another, she trembled and knelt back again.
"Master Hou spares his life, the girl saves me, but I am doing things according to the girl's orders."
"Really? Do what I tell you to do? Jiang Changxi looked at Mrs. Wang condescendingly, with a light glance but with an invisible strength, so that Mrs. Wang did not dare to face her gaze, and hurriedly lowered her head. But in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Mrs. Wang herself has a weak heart.
Jiang Changxi snorted coldly, his voice was cold: "Then let me ask you, what do you tell me and what do you do?" ”
"Since, naturally, I stuffed scorpion grass into the sachet and gave it to Mrs."
"Really?"
Mrs. Wang glanced in the direction of Sui Anhou, and said calmly: "That day, the grandmother in the lady's house came over and said that the lady liked the patterns on the second son's schoolbag very much, and wanted to ask the girl to make a sachet. When the girl heard about it, she quietly gave the slave maid this sachet, and asked the slave and maid to find scorpion-like grass and put it in and give it to the lady. ”
"So you found the scorpion grass yourself?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and she didn't quite understand what Jiang Changxi meant by this. She forced herself to stabilize her emotions and replied according to the typed draft: "Yes." ”
Jiang Changxi paused for a moment before he said: "Scorpion-like grass is extremely cold, and it is easy to be confused with scorpiontail grass, and because the effect of reducing swelling and invigorating blood is not as good as that of Panax notoginseng and Angelica Angelica, it is gradually abandoned by doctors, and smaller medical halls don't even have this flavor medicine, where did you find it?" ”
"This, this ......" Mrs. Wang replied after thinking: "There is no small medical hall, but there is a large medical hall." Shi'an Hall and Tianshui Hall are all available. Yes, Tianshui Hall, the slave maid was naturally bought from the girl's Tianshui Hall, and the doctor there personally caught it for me, there will be no mistake. ”
"You!" Xiutan scolded her.
Mrs. Wang tugged at the corners of her mouth and retorted: "What I said is true, Master Hou, what I said is true." That day, Shuitang was full of girls, and it was easy to buy some scorpion-like grass. ”
"If it's so easy, why don't I just take it to you from the treasury and ask you to buy it again? Are you afraid that others won't know that I bought scorpion grass and came back? ”
Jiang Changxi is like this, and Mrs. Wang also has something to say: "Then naturally the girl wants to find a substitute for the dead ghost." Just like now, the matter is revealed, and the girl will be able to seize this point and force me to death. ”
Sui Anhou looked at Jiang Changxi, with the same expressionless face as her: "What else do you have to say?" ”
"Then I have to ask Mrs. Wang, what day did I give you the sachet, and when did you go to buy the scorpion grass?"
Mrs. Wang thought about it for a while: "Yes, it's the second day of Brother Yan'er's trip to Xishan Academy, the seventeenth of last month." ”
"Are you sure?"
Mrs. Wang looked at Jiang Changxi, and for some reason she had a bad premonition, "Indeed, sure." ”
Jiang Changxi nodded: "Very good, on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, I will let you buy scorpion grass and come back to harm your mother." ”
Not to mention Mrs. Wang, even with Anhou Jiang Wu Clan Qingrong and everyone was shocked, Jiang Changxi admitted to murdering Jiang Wu's family?
But Jiang Changxi's face suddenly changed, and the sachet in his hand slammed into Mrs. Wang: "Nonsense, I don't know what to say!" ”
"You didn't even understand the situation, so you came to learn that someone else framed you? Mrs. Wang, should I say that you are stupid, or should I praise you for being smart? ”
Mrs. Wang's face stiffened: "What do you mean, girl?" ”
"What do you mean? It's very simple, since the beginning of the lunar month last year, not to mention the Shi'an Hall Tianshui Hall, including Lindu City and all the surrounding cities, not to mention a scorpion-like grass, even half of it. ”
"This, how is this possible." Of course, Mrs. Wang didn't really go to Tianshui Hall to buy scorpion-like grass, otherwise Jiang Changxi would definitely know about it as soon as possible.
But before it was found out afterwards, she bought scorpion-like grass from elsewhere to frame Jiang Changxi, and Mrs. Wang never inquired about this news after getting the scorpion-like grass, how did she know that what Jiang Changxi said was true or false, only that Jiang Changxi was really lying to her.
Yes, Jiang Changxi must be lying to her, how could there be such a coincidence. "Girl, don't lie to me, although the scorpion grass is used coldly, it is also effective, how can such a large range of pharmacies be sold out, and there is no hidden goods!"
Mrs. Wang became more and more calm the more she talked. She had to be calm in order to make Sui Anhou believe her words and completely condemn Jiang Changxi.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was still biting and not letting go, looking like she didn't shed tears when she didn't see the coffin, Jiang Changxi shook his head and said to Sui Anhou: "At the beginning of last year, Tianshuitang found a strange case, the cause of which was the ground rot Gu on a certain hill on the outskirts of Lindu, and the ground rot Gu was accompanied by Jin Lin Cao, which was the antidote to the ground rot Gu and another poison that hurt people's lives. Although the effect of scorpion-like grass is not very good, it is born to be the nemesis of Jinlin grass. Therefore, scorpion-like grass is an indispensable part of the prescription for the treatment of strange diseases. ”
"But the snow disaster the year before last, and the drought last year, led to a large reduction in the yield of the scorpion-like grass that was already planted very little, and the scorpion-like grass stocked in all the medicine halls in Lindu City was far from enough, where is there any left."
"That's what the girl secretly hid." Mrs. Wang's eyes rolled and she made excuses again.
Jiang Changxi smiled coldly and said, "Tianshui Hall has an account of the entry and exit of herbs every day, and scorpion-like grass is also recorded. During the period when scorpion-like grass was in short supply, the prince of Nanxiang collected scorpion-like grass in all the pharmacies in the city, and he was afraid that there would be pharmacies to hide it privately, so he ordered someone to check the medicine library books of all pharmacies one by one. If the father didn't believe him, he could go to the patrol camp and call up the audit records at that time. ”
"In addition, although the people who have suffered from strange diseases have been cured, the rotten Gu poison on the hill on the outskirts of the city has not been completely cleaned up. And all the scorpion-like grasses that King Nanxiang called from other cities were also transferred to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion for deployment. ”
"Therefore, from the beginning of the first month, if you want to buy scorpion-like grass, you can only go to Jingzhao Mansion to register, from Jingzhao Mansion to the patrol camp and then to the Taiyi Mansion, the father can send someone to check it and see how his daughter instructed Mrs. Wang to buy scorpion-like grass to harm her mother."
After listening to Jiang Changxi's defense, as An Hou gradually calmed down from the initial anger, he looked at Mrs. Wang, who was still trying to save and change her confession, and then looked at Jiang Changxi, who had already turned his eyes away and didn't want to look at him again, and began to think about it in his heart.
To prove whether what Jiang Changxi said is true, as she said, as she said, just go to Jingzhao Mansion, the Patrol Camp or the Taiyi Mansion and ask casually, and the truth will be revealed.
can deliberately murder the master's mother, one is an old slave who has served in the family for many years, and the other is a girl from the Hou Mansion, no matter who it is, it will be a scandal when it comes out. The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized.
But is this what Anhou cares about?
Yes, he cares about his face, and he cares more about his official voice. But if you compare these with the Jiang Wu clan, they seem so insignificant.
"I'll give you justice, don't be afraid." This is what Sui Anhou said to Jiang Wu.
"Master Hou......" Jiang Wu obviously wanted to intercede for Jiang Changxi.
But Sui Anhou didn't want to listen to it anymore. The old lady and the Jiang Wu clan have protected Jiang Changxi too many times. Whenever he has a little rumor here, his mother and wife will always protect Jiang Changxi, which makes him very unhappy.
One is the widowed mother who supported him through hardships and embarrassment, and the other is a wife who married him with affection, and Anhou's dislike can't fall on the two of them. Naturally, Jiang Changxi could only bear it.
With a wave of Anhou's hand, he asked the princess to be dragged to the firewood room and locked up, and Jiang Changxi was temporarily grounded in Yifang Pavilion. He also asked Fang Chang to send people to Jingzhao Mansion, the Patrol Battalion, and the Imperial Doctor's Mansion to retrieve the files for inspection.
With Sui'anhou's current power and the degree of respect he was valued by the emperor, it was not difficult to retrieve some inconsequential archives in these three places. But firstly, these three places are not under the jurisdiction of Anhou, and secondly, whoever says that men will not gossip, and people will talk a lot, and word of mouth will be passed on by word of mouth, and the gossip will spread out, and the people of Lindu City will have a mouthful of after-dinner tea to talk about.
"Listen, listen, what do those people outside say about our girl, what a femme fatale, what murder of the mother-in-law, fart!" Xiu Tan was so angry that she walked back and forth in the yard, and kept scolding those who didn't know right and wrong: "If our girl is a femme fatale, will she stay up for a few days and nights to treat them?" Will it be free when they don't have the money to buy medicine? Will they be given herbal tea and herbal medicine every once in a while? Will it be?! A bunch of people who have no conscience! ”
"And Dongyuan's, what a grandmother, that's a stepmother! Our girl is a concubine, and Mrs. is also the wife of the Hou Ye! In Xiutan's heart, only the girl's biological mother is the lady.
"If you speak louder, the girl will hear it all." Qingrong stood under the corridor, holding his hands on his chest and leaning against the red pillar, and said impatiently.
Xiutan was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, she faintly cried, and her voice was much quieter: "I'm not wronged for the girl." Obviously, there is news from the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, and Mrs. Wang has lied a lot, our girl is innocent, but the grounding has not been lifted until now! ”
"Oh no, no, no." There was an urgent call from outside Yifang Pavilion, Xiutan and Qingrong looked at it, it was Yuncui who rushed over, "Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang committed suicide!" ”
