Chapter 200: Triage (Part II)
As Yu Zhi spoke, she lowered her right arm, twisted her wrist slightly, and a dagger slipped out of her sleeve, and then she held the sheath with her other hand and pulled out the dagger.
"What? Scared? It's still a drama of mother-son love, so I don't care if your son lives or dies? Yuzhi held the dagger, and he didn't really want to do anything to Gu Lu's family, but he just wanted to scare her away.
Now seeing that Gu Lushi was stunned and didn't dare to speak, she said again: "Since you're afraid, let's leave quickly, my dagger doesn't have eyes!" ”
When the words fell, she abruptly threw the dagger towards Gu Lu's, cut Gu Lu's collar impartially, and then threw it on the ground, but all the movements of Shicai were too neat and too fast, and Gu Lu's didn't react until she heard the muffled sound of the dagger landing behind her.
Touching the collar has been scratched, Gu Lushi was very frightened, and then Xie Zheng also said: "Mrs. Gu, you should please go back, Ling Lang's matter, I believe that the three divisions will interrogate, and they will definitely give an explanation." ”
As soon as Gu Lushi heard that Xie Zheng was going to drive her away, he knelt on the ground, and was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled to Xie Zheng, knelt down to Xie Zheng, pulled the corner of her skirt again, and begged: "County Lord!" County Lord, what happened before, it was our Gu family who was wrong, it was our Gu family who was sorry for you, it was my fault, it was all my fault, if you want to blame me, I will blame me alone, I only ask you to save my family, as long as you are willing to save him, whatever you want me to do in the future, I am willing, but now I only ask the county lord that you have a large number of adults, and you can open up to him......"
"Why should I be open to him? He's going to kill me! If I had saved him today, would I not have given him a third or fourth chance to assassinate me? ”
When Gu Lushi heard the end, he was already stunned, Xie Zheng smiled at her, his smile was quite unkind, and he only said: "Mrs. Gu, I was assassinated under the East Gate Bridge on Xuanwu Street before, if I guessed correctly, that person should be your Shilang Gu Xuan." ”
Li Shi was confused, but when she saw Gu Lu's stunned speech, she was obviously hit by Xie Zheng's words, she looked at Gu Lu's in disbelief, and whispered: "Mother, you ......"
She was still speechless after all.
"I ...... I ......" Gu Lushi was speechless, Xie Zheng then said: "My brother killed your Jiulang by mistake, I admit that it is our brother and sister who can't stand him, but my brother has already paid the price for this, and this matter should have ended here, but I didn't expect your Gu family to be aggressive and insist on blaming me, I also know that the family feud cannot be forgotten, you can hate me, you can be my enemy, but you still want me to pay for my life, is this too unfair to me?" Could it really be that I instructed him to kill your family Kuro? ”
Gu Lushi was silent, only crying secretly, Xie Zheng looked at her pitiful appearance, like a lost dog, but in comparison, she, the victim, seemed to be an unkind villain.
Xie Zheng suddenly laughed again, "You have stabbed me several times, I have been able to dodge once, I have been able to dodge twice, but what about the third and fourth times?" Will I be able to escape? Today, the three divisions of Linglang will be tried, if they are convicted, they will be beheaded in the city three days later, and then the new and old grudges will be added together, presumably the next time your Gu family kills me, it should be to avenge the two sons, right? I'm so scared, I'm really scared of death! It's better like this, Mrs. Gu, can you tell me when and where the next time you stab me, so that I can be on guard. ”
Gu Lushi raised his head, looked at Xie Zheng with teary eyes, and choked up: "There is no next time!" There will never be a next time! County Lord, what happened before, it was all my fault, it was all my fault, it was my fault, it was me who wanted to kill you to take revenge, but now I have learned that I was wrong, I don't dare to make a feud with the county lord again! I admit that I also instructed Ziding to assassinate you before, but Zigeng...... Zigeng is innocent, he has never hated you, it's me...... It's all my fault! If you want to kill me, kill me, I beg you to spare Zigeng......"
She opened her mouth twice and stopped, but she never dared to tell Xie Zheng the truth.
When the words fell, there happened to be a cool breeze blowing, in this June day, it was so cool, but Xie Zheng couldn't help coughing twice, Yuzhi was startled, and hurriedly patted Xie Zheng's back gently, and called: "Lady!" ”
She then said to Gu Lu's family: "My lady is seriously injured and has not healed, and it is inconvenient to meet guests, if you don't look at the face of the lady from a foreign family, my lady will never come out, now everything that should be said has been said, Mrs. Gu, you should also leave." ”
Xie Zheng didn't say anything, only stretched out his hand and handed it to Yuzhi, put it in her hand, and motioned for her to help her stand up, the master and servant were about to go outside the guest hall, but they also happened to see Huan Ling coming back from outside, Zeng Qionglin followed behind him, he turned around and seemed to tell Zeng Qionglin something, only to see Zeng Qionglin nodded, and then walked to the corridor on one side.
And Huan Ling also ran quickly towards the guest hall at this time, and said with a worried face: "Deyin! How did you get out? ”
When he finished speaking, he had already run to Xie Zheng, put a hand on her left shoulder, and protected her in his arms, but Xie Zheng didn't speak with a cold face, he turned his face and saw that Gu Lu and Li were here, his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Gu Lu who was still kneeling on the ground, and said in a strange voice: "Why did Ben Hou still have a moral voice, it turned out that someone was entangled here." ”
"Cousin ......" Li Shicai was in front of Xie Zheng, and he almost didn't say anything, but when he heard that Xie Zheng was unwilling to save Gu Xun, and Gu Lu was reluctant to tell the truth, he was anxious and aggrieved, but he couldn't bear it, and now when he saw his cousin who loved her the most, he couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Yuan Niang!" Huan Ling called her angrily and helplessly, and only said, "Don't you know that you are no longer a member of the Gu family now?" Why do you still worry about other people's affairs! ”
"What do you say? What do you mean? Li didn't know that she had been demoted to a concubine, but now that she said this, she was naturally stunned.
Huan Ling said bluntly: "The Gu family has demoted you to a concubine, you are now just a slave of their family, Gu Xun's life and death, the rise and fall of the Gu family, has nothing to do with you!" ”
Li's face was full of disbelief, she looked sideways at Gu Lu, her eyes were full of doubts, she was already crying at this time, and only asked: "Mother, is what he said true?" ”
Gu Lushi didn't answer, and he didn't dare to look back at her, he just lowered his head and hid his face and wept.
Huan Ling said again: "Yuan Niang, now that the Gu family doesn't want you anymore, why don't you go back to your uncle's house soon?" Do you still want to stay there and wait for the Gu family to be raided and destroyed, and let the government sell you? ”
"Nope! I'm not going! Zigeng is my husband and my beloved! He is my God, if it is going to collapse today, I will naturally bear it! When Li said this, he suddenly walked up to Xie Zheng, knelt down with a "poof", and said, "County Lord!" Zi Geng is really innocent, he didn't send someone to kill you, I beg for help, save him! ”
As she spoke, she kowtowed to Xie Zheng again and again, the weight of the strength and the sound of the voice pierced people's hearts, Huan Ling saw the blood marks on the ground, and was resentful for a while, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li, and reprimanded: "Yuan Niang! You ......"
He didn't know what to say, he only sighed, then withdrew his hand, turned sideways and looked outside the guest hall, and Xie Zheng had already turned his back to Li, and said lightly: "Mrs. Li should go back, there are many good people in the world, why worry about not finding a good character and sincere treatment of you." ”
Li Shi was silent, and still kept kowtowing to Xie Zheng.
And Gu Lu's family finally repented at this time, and also turned around and crawled behind Xie Zheng, and said silently: "County Lord, what Yuan Niang said is right, Zi Geng is innocent, because ...... for he who sent men to assassinate you...... It's ...... me."
When the words fell, Li Shi had stopped, propped his hands on the ground, and no longer kowtowed, but his nose was sore, and he couldn't stop crying.
Xie Zheng was obviously stunned when he heard this, and Huan Ling and Yuzhi next to him were also stunned, and then listened to Gu Lu's continued: "I hired a killer to go to Jiming Temple to kill you, and this matter has nothing to do with Zi Geng...... He doesn't know anything! ”
"Mrs. Gu," Xie Zheng turned around, lowered his eyes to look at Gu Lu's family, and said indifferently: "Ling Lang confessed his guilt in front of the holy driver, but now you say that you are the mastermind, how do you want me to believe you." ”
Xie Zheng was calm on the surface, but her heart was very chaotic, she remembered that the killer told her that he was instructed by a Mrs. Gu, and she always thought it was Gu Lu's at first, but since Huan Ling told her, she slowly recognized that it was Gu Xun, not to mention that Gu Xun himself also confessed, she was naturally even more convinced.
"Zi Geng, this is taking the blame for me! That night, when Shen came back, Zi Geng came back from his job, and he had seen the killer, who was eight feet tall, holding a scimitar in his hand, and looked fierce, and the next day he heard that you were assassinated, and he knew that I had sent someone, so he took the blame for me and took all the blame, because he felt guilty about you, not to mention that he ...... "Gu Lu originally wanted to say that Gu Xun was interested in Xie Zheng, but at this juncture, how dare she say more, she was afraid of offending Xie Zheng, so she closed her mouth again, and fell on the ground crying.
Gu Lu didn't dare to say anything, but Li continued to say for her: "What's more, he still has a deep affection for you, the county lord!" The county lord, my husband is lukewarm to me, because he is the only one in his heart, and even on the night of candles in the cave room, he shouts 'Xie Niangzi'! The husband has a deep love for the county lord, how can he kill his sweetheart? As she spoke, she burst into tears, but from time to time she sneered, as if she was laughing at herself.
Huan Ling hated Gu Xun for Xie Zheng's matter, and also hated the entire Gu family, even though he knew that it was Gu Lu's family who sent someone to assassinate Xie Zheng, but he still hated Gu Xun, all because Gu Xun was also a member of the Gu family, Huan Ling loved the house and Wu, and hated the house and the house, he was only afraid that if the Li family continued to say this, he would make Xie Zheng feel compassion, so he called out with a little anger: "Li Yuanniang!" ”
How did she know that Li had already finished everything she wanted to say at this time.
And Xie Zheng's side, when she heard that it was not Gu Xun who sent someone to kill her, but that the mastermind behind the scenes was Gu Lu's, she was really a little moved, not because of what Li said, nor because she still had any lingering feelings for Gu Xun, because she was only grateful and appreciative of Gu Xun from the beginning, and now she is moved, all because Gu Xun is indeed innocent, thinking of her Xie Zheng, she has always been a person who loves and hates clearly, if she kills innocent people in vain, then what is the difference between her and Xiao Daocheng who ungrateful crossed the river and demolished the bridge and sent people to wash the Great Sima Mansion in blood?
Can...... But things have come to this situation, and she is also ......
Xie Zheng turned his back to Gu Lu and Li, and only said: "This case will be tried by the three divisions today, and Your Majesty will also be transferred to the Imperial Lieutenant's Office for trial at that time, indicating that this case has been personally interrogated by Your Majesty, and now I can't help it, Mrs. Gu should ask another Gao Ming." ”
As soon as the words fell, before Gu Lu's reaction could be realized, Huan Ling hurriedly said, "Someone! Drop-off! ”
"County Lord!" Li knelt behind Xie Zheng, repeatedly pulled the corners of her skirt, and cried: "County Lord! I beg you to save my husband...... I beg you to save him! ”
Li pinned all his hopes on Xie Zheng, and now Xie Zheng didn't make a move, Huan Ling was going to send off guests, she was naturally crazy, in contrast, Gu Lu's seemed very calm, at this time, two small servants had run into the guest hall, standing behind the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Gu Lushi wiped his tears, and said unusually calmly: "Yuan Niang, forget it, even if you are the county lord, you can't do anything, so let's not bother anymore......"
After she finished speaking, she struggled to get up from the ground, Li was still kneeling aside, crying like tears, Gu Lu looked down at her, and persuaded: "Yuan Niang, let's go!" ”
The Li family was silent, Gu Lu pulled her up, and the two of them walked outside the guest hall, and when they walked out of the guest hall, Huan Ling suddenly said: "Mrs. Gu, you can go, but Benhou's cousin, you are afraid that you can't take it away, she is no longer from your Gu family." ”
The two stopped, Gu Lu was silent, but Li was flustered, immediately turned his head to look at Huan Ling, and said, "What does Cousin mean by this?" ”
Huan Ling didn't answer her, but shouted: "Someone! Tie up Li Yuanniang for me! ”
Before the words fell, one person rushed out of each side hall, both holding hemp ropes in their hands, and one of them was Zeng Qionglin.
"What are you going to do! What are you going to do! Li was shocked, seeing the two rushing forward, he hurriedly dodged back, but it was a stumbling, at this time the two had also come to the front, three times five divided by two to tie her up, Li couldn't break free, reprimanded: "Let go of me!" Let me go! ”
Gu Lu's back to her and never looked back, and Li called again: "Mother! Mother save me! ”
But Gu Lushi only said: "Yuan Niang, your cousin is also good for you, this time the Gu family is already in a catastrophe, you go back to your mother's house to take refuge, you are a good boy, I only hope that you can marry a man who treats you well in the future." ”t
After she finished speaking, she left without looking back.
"Mother! Mother! Li Shi watched her go away, and was helpless for a while, so he had to turn around and look at Huan Ling with teary eyes, begging to call: "Cousin......"
Huan Ling turned his head slightly and didn't want to look at her, he wanted to take this opportunity to bring the Li family back to the Li family when he entered the mansion, but he also knew that the Li family would definitely not go back with him, so he made this decision.
Seeing that he shouldn't, Li Shi was very anxious, so he simply cried again: "Cousin! I beg you to let me go...... You let me go...... Cousin! ”
"You're really obsessed and obsessed!" Huan Ling was so angry that he rushed out and grabbed the hemp rope tied to Li's body, and then dragged her out of the house, and said angrily: "Okay! I'll take you away, I'll take you back to Li's house, so that you can see how your father has been haggard for you these days! ”
The ox cart stopped outside the mansion, and Huan Ling dragged the Li family into the car and drove to the Li family in person.
Xie Zheng was still standing in the guest hall, standing in the limelight, watching Gu Lu's leave, Huan Ling also took Li out, she neither spoke, nor did she leave to go back to Yazhuyuan, but her eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she was sad, her beautiful eyes were gloomy, and it was difficult to complain if she was worried.
Yuzhi called: "Lady, let's go back too." ”
Xie Zheng didn't want to, but asked, "Yuzhi, what time is it?" ”
Yuzhi looked at the sky and said, "It's almost noon......
Xie Zheng was silent, and said for a long time: "Prepare a carriage for me." ”
