"What are you doing!" Seeing this, Yuzhi scolded, then crossed over Xie Zheng, and rushed forward to fight back, but Xie Zheng raised his hand to block her, she smiled at Gu Lu calmly, and said: "Mrs. Gu, I respect you as an elder, and I also read that you are a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, such as sorrow, you slap me, I can bear it, because today's tragedy was caused by my brother, so I have nothing to say, but if you humiliate me, I can't bear it." ”

took this slap in vain, how can Xie Zheng not complain! Don't be annoyed! But so what? Today, it was her "brother" who killed someone, and she was already at a loss, no slap, no humiliation, she could only endure it.

Gu Lushi laughed bitterly, her eyes widened angrily, she glared at Xie Zheng, and accused: "Your brother killed my son, I slapped you and scolded you, it didn't hurt for you, but what about me, the pain of losing a child, the pain of losing a child!" ”

Xie Zheng was silent for a long time, she glanced at Xie Wei, and then said indifferently: "Yes, it's my brother and sister who are sorry for your Jiulang, killing people pays for their lives, my brother's right and wrong, I believe that Jingzhao Yin Lu will give an explanation." ”

Before the words fell, Xie Wei couldn't kneel, he turned his head to look at Xie Zheng violently, and roared: "Xie Zheng, what do you mean!" Do you really want me to die? Don't forget ......."

Xie Zheng knew that Xie Wei wanted to threaten her again, so he immediately interrupted: "Shut up!" ”

This reprimand frightened Xie Wei and immediately stopped his mouth, looked at Xie Zheng in a daze, and didn't dare to say more, Xie Zheng calmed down and said lightly: "Killing people pays for life, it is justified, even if you are my brother, I will never protect you!" ”

She clearly had something to say, and after speaking, she was afraid that Xie Wei's pig brain would not understand, so she secretly gave him a look, and Xie Wei really understood what she meant at this time, so she obediently shut up.

Who knew that Gu Lu actually laughed and said, "Cover-up? Do you think you still have a chance to shield him? Your brothers and sisters killed my son, and I want you all to bury him together!" ”

"Mother!" There was a shout behind him, only to see Gu Xun running in three steps and two steps, Li called "husband", and hurried to greet him, at that time Gu Xun's court clothes had not faded, and he thought that when he took office in Shangshu Province, he was shocked to hear the bad news at home, so he hurried over.

Gu Xun nodded at Li quite politely, and then walked past her and walked straight to Gu Lu's, and saw Xie Zheng standing next to him, and glanced at her sideways, Gu Lu's pointed at Xie Zheng and said to Gu Xun: "Zi Geng, you came just in time, go and see your poor ninth brother, it is this woman, it is her ninth brother who killed you, she is the culprit!" ”

The bustard and the Oiran lady who were kneeling on the side were still supporting each other, and the bustard interjected a few words, muttering: "Mrs. Gu, it was the Xie Langjun who killed your son-in-law......

"Do I allow you to talk more! You lowly women are the most hateful! Gu Lushi said this, almost roaring, and his emotions became more and more out of control.

The bustard had no choice but to keep her mouth shut and say no more.

Gu Xun frowned, and glanced at Xie Zheng with a sad face, and then walked to Gu Yu's corpse, lifted the white cloth and looked at it, but saw that Gu Yu's eyes were still open, Gu Lu looked back and cried: "Your ninth brother was killed by someone, and now he is dead without turning a blind eye, Zi Geng, as an important minister of the court, why can't you even protect your own brother!" ”

Hearing this, Gu Xun can be said to be like a knife, he closed his eyes and sighed lightly, and then opened his eyes again, closed his eyes for Gu Yu, Gu Lu saw that he didn't say anything, so he pointed at Xie Zheng again, and cried to him: "This woman, she relied on her power and power, and connived at her brother to kill people, but now she wants to get away with it, you say, she deserves to die!" ”

On the one hand, his own brother, and on the other hand, the love of his heart, Gu Xun is already in a dilemma, but in the final analysis, it is Xie Wei who kills people, and what is wrong with Xie Zheng!

Xie Zheng was always silent, but Yuzhi couldn't listen to it anymore, she retorted: "Mrs. Gu, what you said is not right, it was not my lady who killed your Jiulangjun today, but you beat and scolded my lady, saying that my lady is the culprit for a while, and saying that my lady is at large, I think you are old and confused." ”

Gu Lushi was accused by Yuzhi, and sneered again: "If it's really an uneducated thing, the slaves and maids brought out are so unruly!" ”

"You!" Yuzhi didn't care about her after all, Xie Zheng was no longer silent at this time, she was still calm and calm, "Mrs. Gu, I know that you have a deep prejudice against me, and I also know that my brother kills someone, even if it is a thousand cuts, it is not a pity to die, not to mention that according to the "Law of Qi", my brother should be sentenced to beheading, even if Lu Envoy Jun sentences him not guilty today, I will definitely personally take his head and present his head and hands to comfort Gu Jiulang's spirit in the sky." ”

Xie Wei knelt in front of him, and when he heard this, he was terrified and swallowed his saliva.

Who knew that Gu Lu's still didn't follow, she said: "He deserves to die, what about you?" If you let your brother kill people, don't you deserve to die? ”

Yuzhi was annoyed and scolded: "What do you want!" ”

"What do I want?" Gu Lushi looked at Yuzhi, at first laughed, and then turned her gaze to Xie Zheng, but she was very ruthless, her eyes showed a fierce light, and she said bluntly: "I want her to bury my son!" ”

"Mother!" Gu Xun called again, he came over immediately, but he deliberately stood in front of Gu Lu's family, blocking Xie Zheng behind him, his eyebrows tightened, and he persuaded helplessly: "One life is worth one life, but the murderer is someone else, you can't always point the finger at the county lord......"

"What are you doing? Do you think she's innocent? Gu Lushi clearly noticed that Gu Xun was deliberately protecting Xie Zheng behind her, so she pushed Gu Xun away, stretched out her hand and pointed at Xie Zheng, and questioned Gu Xun: "This woman, she has disturbed our Gu family, and now she is conniving at her brother to kill your brother, you don't hate her, you still want to protect her!" Zi Geng, are you still a member of the Gu family! It's your brother who lies there! ”

Gu Lushi said, and couldn't help crying bitterly, and the tears fell one by one like pearls with broken threads.

The Li family, who was standing on the side, heard that Gu Lu's accused Gu Xun of protecting Xie Zheng, and he felt all kinds of feelings in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Gu Lu's and called softly: "Mother, ......"

When Gu Lu saw the Li family, he was indignant again, and then said: "Tell me, what is so good about this woman!" What kind of ecstasy soup did she give you! Yes? told you to ignore Jiao Niang, thinking about her all day long, and now for her, you don't even care about your own brother's death! Is it that one day, she will kill your mother, and you won't even blink an eye! ”

Xie Zheng was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, she said angrily: "Mrs. Gu is cautious! If you want to teach your own son, I can't control it, but you humiliate me in every way, I endure it again and again, but I didn't expect you to have to make an inch! ”

"Listen, listen, you listen! People don't take you to heart at all! Gu Lushi tugged at Gu Xun's sleeve, and said with a handful of noses and tears: "Zi Geng, you have to see the true face of this woman clearly, don't let her be blinded, today it was her brother and sister who killed your brother, you can't sit idly by!" ”

"Enough! Mrs. Gu, my brother killed your Jiulang, he will pay for his life, and I will never shield him, but why do you say that I connived at him to kill! Your Gu family is also a scholar family, and you have a lot of prestige in Jiankang, just ask who is willing to cause trouble for no reason! Could it be that in your eyes, I, Xie Zheng, like to make enemies with the Shi clan so much? ”

Xie Zheng knew that it was impossible to clear up the relationship, but she always wanted to struggle again, but she didn't know that Gu Lu's prejudice against her was already ingrained in her heart, in other words, Gu Lu's was determined to kill her today!

Then I heard Gu Lu say: "If he doesn't have you, the sister who is the county lord, how dare he attack my son!" ”

When Gu Lu said this, Xie Zheng was irrefutable, yes, if Xie Wei didn't have her, the "sister" who was the county lord, how could he dare to unscrupulously push Gu Jiulang, who was born in the Shi clan, down the stairs...... Dare to love all this to be her fault?

Xie Zheng no longer dealt with the Gu Lu family, and only sprinkled all the fire on Lu Ji, because she raised her eyes and saw Lu Ji sitting quietly in the public court, completely watching the show, which really made her unhappy!

"Lu Yuanjun, it's so noisy in the court, but you don't care, are you watching a play? What the hell are you eating this Jingzhao Mansion Yin! The case is not tried! Xie Zheng reprimanded, and Lu Ji reacted, and immediately picked up the startled wood and slapped it violently, shouting: "Silence! Quiet! ”

The hall quieted down, Xie Zheng took Yuzhi and You Xiao to one side, Gu Xun also pulled Gu Lu's retreat to the other side to stand, and Li still supported Gu Lu's intimately.

Lu Ji then patted the shocked wood again, and asked the bustard and the Oiran lady: "Sun, you two just pointed out that Xie Wei pushed Gu Yu downstairs to death when he was arguing with the deceased Gu Yu, but is it true?" ”

Bustard glanced at Xie Wei and nodded, but Xie Wei argued: "I pushed the person down, but I didn't mean to push him, I just missed it for a while, can this be regarded as manslaughter?" ”

Lu Ji said bluntly: "Manslaughter is also a capital crime, and since you have pleaded guilty, then sign and detain." ”

After he finished speaking, the master bookkeeper sitting in front of the bookcase on one side stood up, picked up the handwritten paper in front of him, and brought the red seal clay, and handed it to Xie Wei, Xie Wei's fingers were stained with red ink mud, but he didn't press it down on the paper, but looked at Xie Zheng, and Xie Zheng deliberately pinned his face to the public court at this time, he really didn't want to see him again.

Xie Wei was helpless, and finally pressed down his handprint, and the main book presented the paper to Lu Ji for a look, and after Lu Ji saw it, he was immediately convicted, and said: "Come on, put the prisoner Xie Wei on death row, and ask and behead him in Xishi three days later!" ”

Hearing that he was asked three days later, Xie Wei was still scared in the end, he heard Xie Zheng claim that he would not shield him, and now he was not sure that Xie Zheng would definitely save him, so he thought about how to threaten and persecute Xie Zheng, but he didn't talk much in front of people, so he had a plan, and when the servant escorted him out of the court, he turned back to Xie Zheng and said: "Sister, I'm afraid I won't be used to eating the food in the cell, these two days, you can send me more food." ”

Xie Zheng naturally heard the meaning of his words, it was nothing more than that he had something to say to her, and it was something that was not easy to say in front of people, it seemed that Xie Zheng didn't believe that she would save him, she responded: "Brother, don't worry, in the last few days, I will definitely treat you well." ”

The messenger escorted Xie Wei away, and when Gu Lu saw that Xie Zheng was still safe, he was unhappy, so he asked Lu Ji: "Lu Zhijun, the murderer has been sentenced to death, what about this accomplice?" Is she not guilty? ”

This Gu Lu family is related to Lu Jiyuan, but he is not related to him at all.

"Mother," Gu Xun lowered his voice and persuaded: "Everything that should be disposed of has been disposed of, you can't be unreasonable." ”

"I'm being unreasonable? She killed your brother, I just wanted to get justice for your brother, but you said I was unreasonable? Gu Lu's began to entangle again, Gu Xun was speechless, Xie Zheng walked up to Gu Lu's, frowned and said apologetically: "Mrs. Gu, I know that even if my brother is against each other, Mrs. Gu may not be able to resolve her hatred, Jiulang's matter, I am also guilty, I will help with his future, I only hope that Mrs. Gu can take care of her sorrow." Leave. ”

Xie Zheng said that, turned around and left, Gu Lu's side watched her walk away, suddenly lost control again, and roared at Xie Zheng's back: "Do you think a few words of apology can pay off my son's blood debt?" I tell you, no way! Xie Zheng, I will never give up on today's events! Even if you make trouble in front of the holy driver, I must have you bury my son! ”

Gu Lu said, her whole body was paralyzed, and she almost fell, but fortunately, Gu Xun and Li were supported by the two of them, she walked to Gu Yu's corpse again, sat down on the ground, and wailed, Lu Ji walked down and patted her back, and comforted: "Yuan Niang, Ziren has gone, don't be sad anymore, mourn." ”

"Uncle......" Gu Lu looked up at Lu Ji, and muttered, she and Lu Tanwei's father Lu Huixiao are sisters and brothers, and both of them are Lu Ji's nephews.

Xie Zheng walked out of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion and boarded the ox cart without saying a word, Yuzhi sat in the car with her, and You Xiao sat on the seat with the coachman and drove forward.

Yuzhi scolded: "That Mrs. Gu, she is a famous lady, how can she be a very unreasonable shrew!" ”

Xie Zheng raised his hand and touched the cheek that was slapped, only gritted his teeth, and did not speak, Yuzhi thought about it carefully, and said: "Lady, slave thinks about it, today's matter, I'm afraid it was designed by King Linchuan and Lu Ji, otherwise, as soon as something happened to the Hongwen Pavilion, the people from Jingzhao Yin Mansion came, and it must have been arranged by them in advance." ”

Yuzhi said no matter how reasonable, Xie Zheng didn't want to listen to it, she now has Gu Lu's voice echoing in her ears, what "Even if it is in front of the holy car, I must you accompany my son to the funeral", Xie Zheng was very uneasy in his heart, yes, it was Xie Wei who killed today, this has nothing to do with her, but if the Gu family wants to make trouble, it is difficult for her to ensure that she can be safe......

Instead of letting the Gu family make trouble with Xiao Daocheng first, it is better for her to admit her mistakes with Xiao Daocheng first, so that she can still avoid punishment.

"You Xiao, turn around and make a trip to the palace."
