Chapter 455: I'll Counterattack Again
It doesn't matter if the documentary evidence is taken or not, because the next person is the one who is important.
Lan Ting opened his mouth slowly: "Second Uncle Yuan." ”
Zhao Yuancheng, who was named by the head of the family, almost didn't shout the word "in", he is the concubine of the third old lady, and he is the most insignificant existence in the generation of the city character, and rarely participates in the clan meeting of Xuan Zhutang, even if he participates, it is also an ornament, he has never spoken out at such an important meeting, and he feels that today's successive turmoil has nothing to do with him, no matter which one of them, he would have thought that he would suddenly be named by the head of the family, and his scalp was suddenly tightened.
Suddenly, he stood up straight.
The third old lady was extremely disgusted with his concubine, who was still not calm when he was old, closed his eyes and breathed from his nostrils, and made up his mind to lock the third son's study when he went home today.
"Why is the second uncle looking for the third uncle to fight today?" Lan Ting asked.
Zhao Yuancheng stammered and replied: "No, isn't it because today's Chinese New Year's Eve Festival is a lively and festive ......?"
He didn't know why the head of the family had this question, but the third old lady's heart sank, and he hurriedly opened his eyes and drank heavily: "It's a foolish thing, it's not as good as it is true, no matter how lively and festive it is, I don't have to find the Qingcheng Doujiu, and even your Lao Tzu hasn't drunk your toast." ”
"Yes, yes." Zhao Yuancheng is also a father, but he is afraid of his family's old man, and finally replied honestly by this drink: "Didn't I want to find a prisoner, I asked for the second brother Zhou, and the second brother reminded me that the third brother of Qing is now serving in the prison of the country, let me take advantage of today's feast to pay a few more glasses of wine to the third brother of Qing, and then open my mouth to say this request." "Who knew that Zhao Qingcheng was so undrunk, he didn't have time to say the request, and he got drunk.
The third old lady was so angry that Tianling Gai was hot, and stared at Zhao Zhoucheng coldly: "My family is honest in Yuancheng, and I can't fight your heart in Zhoucheng, but I didn't expect you to have other intentions, and he deserves to be used by you." ”
Zhao Zhoucheng saw that the third old lady opened fire on him because of this provocation, and he was anxious and angry: "Even if Yuancheng listened to my words and asked the third brother to drink, I really wanted the third brother to help him find a vacancy for the prisoner, Lan Ting, you want to confirm that I intend to slander the fourth brother, how can it be regarded as black and white!" ”
"Second uncle, today Wenji is not only the egret is there, but the second brother is also there, and the second uncle still wants to hear the testimony of the second brother."
"What?!" It was Mrs. Peng who exclaimed, she never expected that her son Lantai was also in Wenji Tower.
"What the hell is going on?" The old lady was confused, looked at Mrs. Peng and then at Lan Ting, only to realize that there might be another famous name among them.
"Trouble Uncle Nine, please let the second brother in." Lan Ting called the shots.
Zhao Lantai came in with heavy steps, and stood in the hall with his head down after saluting, he really had no shame to face so many relatives, because he had such a pair of incorruptible and shameful parents, but he knew that he had to prove the innocence of the third uncle and the fourth uncle, so that he and his younger brother could still redeem a little on behalf of their parents, only in this way he and his younger brother could still hope to be upright.
"Father, the son has been in Wenjilou just now, the son can hear clearly, the third uncle and the fourth uncle have not said anything overly polite, the two will come to Wenjilou because of the design of others, especially the fourth uncle, personally explained that it is because the father told to discuss important matters, and the father claimed that he would entertain the second uncle, and the fourth uncle would come to Wenjilou first."
The second old lady suddenly realized: "I said that today's second child is pulling me all the nonsense, the feelings are in your plan, and I originally planned to use my old man."
Boss as your witness? ”
"There is a saying from Brother Tai, which proves that the maid egret was spewing blood earlier!" The third old lady was used by Zhao Zhoucheng because of his son, and his anger has not yet dissipated: "A maidservant dares to slander the master's family, there must be someone behind it, if you don't confess truthfully, although the family rules of Xuan Zhutang do not allow you to kill slaves and maids, if you commit such a crime, you can naturally be sent to the official to be punished!" ”
Egret originally belonged to Dongchang, if she was sent to justice, although she was not afraid of being executed by the government, she would be held accountable by her boss for dereliction of duty, which was much more serious than the government's criminal responsibility, she would never dare to take this risk, and now she can only save herself.
"The slave and maid confessed, the slave and the maid confessed, and the slave and maid were bought by the second lady before they obeyed the instructions of the second lady to frame the third lady."
She can't even confess to the second master, as long as the second master is not implicated, she can be kept from staying in the Taishi Mansion, and if she continues to lurk, it will not be a dereliction of duty, and she will not be held criminally responsible by her boss.
Peng's eyes widened when he couldn't understand the egret's mood: "You dare to spew blood?!" He suddenly realized that the identity of the egret was not an ordinary maidservant, and he immediately apologized.
The old lady was furious: "It turned out that you stupid woman, for the sake of the right to feed, actually figured out such a vicious strategy, fortunately, today Brother Tai also happened to be in Wenjilou, so that the third daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter were not wronged, I will settle this account with you in the future." Three or two sentences of reprimand wanted to write off Mrs. Peng's fault, and the old lady then "sliding" a pair of angry eyes to Chungui as a matter of course: "Today's public trial in the Xuan Zhai Hall is not for this extraneous matter, even if the second daughter-in-law is at fault, it is not comparable to Gu's responsibility for murder, let's get back to the point." ”
As if in response to the old lady's "back to the point", another slave came outside Xuan Zhuan Hall and took the initiative to ask to testify.
But the appearance of this slave maid surprised both Lan Ting and Chungui.
It's the maidservant of the Hugyu Pavilion.
"The slave maid happened to pass by the stage of the kite, and happened to witness a dispute between the eldest grandmother and the second girl, and later heard that Jian Qing was critically injured, and the slave maid felt that she could no longer hide the truth, so she came to Xuan Zhutang to explain what the slave and maid witnessed earlier."
The old lady perked up: "What did you see and hear?" ”
"The slave maid is some distance away from the kite, I haven't heard the conversation between the eldest grandmother and the second girl, but I saw the second girl's back to the stone steps, the eldest grandmother grabbed the second girl's arm, and the second girl struggled, so the slave and maid guessed that there was a dispute, and the eldest grandmother pulled the second girl into the pavilion, and she should be worried that the second girl would accidentally fall down the stairs, but the second girl was extremely annoyed, and when struggling, she inadvertently hit Jianqing with her hand, which caused Jianqing to fall down the stone steps."
Old lady:!!!
The slave maid of the Hugyou Pavilion actually testified for the Gu family!
The second old lady smiled lightly: "Okay, this accident has also come to light." ”
"How can you prove that Sister Xin slandered the Gu family just by the words of the slave maid?!" The old lady really vented too much real fire and fake fire today, and her rich face was shrouded in black gas.
"Grandmother, the court naturally has evidence, today the second brother did not happen to be in Wenjilou, but the court had foreseen the conspiracy, and informed the second brother, the second brother was willing to go to Wenjilou as circumstantial evidence, not only the court and the second brother, but in fact, the third uncle, the third uncle and the fourth uncle and the fourth uncle and the fourth uncle and aunt all knew the trick, so the fourth uncle and the third uncle and aunt would easily fall for the scheme, the court was deliberately arranged, and the plan was tricked to lure the malicious people to do it, and expose the conspiracy in public." Lan Ting's last sentence was to explain to all the clan elders.
"Second uncle, let me tell you a good thing first, Aunt Meng did not have the poison of saffron, originally the court planned to let Qiao Zhuang treat Aunt Meng, but he didn't expect that Jianqing would fall off the kite, so the court asked Tang to go back and invite
Imperial Physician Gao begged Imperial Physician Gao to cooperate with the court's plan, and lied that Aunt Meng was poisoned by safflower, and next, the court invited Aunt Meng to testify, so that the second uncle could understand who wanted to murder the fetus in Aunt Meng's womb. ”
Who else could there be?
Mrs. Peng's face was already full of misery.
Aunt Meng had actually been waiting a little impatiently, listening to someone to invite, as soon as she lifted the quilt, she stood up from the bed, she didn't need servants to serve at all, her hands and feet were neatly dressed, and she lowered her hair in a hanging bun, because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, thinking about it, she still inserted a flower hairpin, and in the shocked eyes of Aunt Yu, who came to "comfort" her, Aunt Meng smiled.
"I am a servant, and I am less than three months pregnant, and I don't show my pregnancy, what is the difficulty of pretending to be poisoned and have a miscarriage? Why is my sister so surprised? By the way, my sister will also go to Xuanzhutang with me, and I will keep the lipstick and sachets that my sister gave me, but my sister does not take the initiative, and after a while, someone will naturally call my sister over. ”
Aunt Yu was in a cold sweat - it's going to be bad, it's too dangerous in the Taishi Mansion, can she still go back to the Wei State Mansion?
When Zhao Zhoucheng saw that Aunt Meng had really arrived, he smiled and swept away the disaster, and first burst into ecstasy: "Meng Niang is really fine?" ”
"I'm worried." Aunt Meng moved a few steps to the right, avoiding Zhao Zhoucheng's obscuration and smiled at Chungui: "Thanks to the timely reminder of the eldest grandmother, the concubine can keep the flesh and blood of the master." ”
At this time, Zi Lanting didn't need to ask anymore, and Zhao Zhoucheng was the presiding judge.
"What the hell is going on?" The second master took Aunt Meng's little hand in public.
Second Old Lady: ......
Third Old Lady: ......
Fourth Old Lady: ......
I can't bear to look at this scene directly, does Zhao Zhoucheng still remember that this is Xuan Zhutang, and a public trial is underway?!
"The eldest grandmother knows that someone wants to harm the concubine and the fetus in the concubine's womb, and blame the eldest grandmother, so she has long instructed the concubine to pay attention, and the concubine has always known that the witty words are accomplices, but if the poison of the safflower falls into the diet, it needs to be wasted so that people will not notice, the witty words do not have the convenience of cooking and eating, so they can't use their hands and feet in the diet, and those refreshments are made by the grandmother herself, and others can't imitate them, unless they are replaced directly with another one, such as the box of silk crisps, is not on the list that the eldest grandmother handed over to the concubine in advance, it is clear that the witty words used a plate of silk crisp to replace the walnut crisp sent by Qingping.
The concubine and Aunt Yu have eaten a lot of refreshments that the eldest grandmother has ever sent, and they are all safe and sound, why does the witty words know that the concubine's body has not moved and the silk cake with safflower poison has been added, and she actually believes that the concubine will have a miscarriage as she wishes? ”
"Why?" Zhao Zhoucheng didn't know why.
"Because of the lipstick and sachets sent by Aunt Yu, one is mixed with safflower juice and the other is mixed with musk pills, and the witty words think that the lipstick I use every day and the sachet that I put in the pillow box to calm the gods are given by Aunt Yu, of course, I believe that the concubine will be born prematurely."
Just wearing musk pills will not cause a miscarriage in a short period of time, but the lipstick with safflower juice has been used for more than 20 days, which is equivalent to drinking a bowl of safflower water every day, and adding a box of silk crisps to ensure that Aunt Meng will definitely have a miscarriage today, Aunt Meng did not eat that plate of silk cakes, but if she really hit the plan, Witty Words will also use the rest of the methods to "destroy" Aunt Meng's miscarriage, but Aunt Meng pretended to be poisoned, but it was "troubleless" for Witty Words.
"Is it Yulu who harmed Meng Niang?" Zhao Zhoucheng was very swaying.
Although Yulu is not as beautiful as Meng Niang, she has her own strengths and strengths, and Yulu is a recent success, and the second master is still like a knee with her.
Not to mention that the jade dew was also given by the Duke of Wei, and it could not be neglected in public or private.
Zhao Zhoucheng was a little in a dilemma.
