Chapter 22: Successful "Reversal"
The evidence is conclusive, Gu Huaying is bound to be tried this time, what kind of virtue is his grandson Gu Changrong can understand? Vicious and spicy, it is all aimed at others, if you treat yourself with that ruthlessness, you will not even have to rely on clinging to the powerful, don't say anything about torture and confession, as soon as you take a few boards, you will definitely confess, and Gu Chungui is very good at analyzing it, then Yin Jiyu is a good interrogator, if he really passes the court, with Gu Huaying's eloquence, it is too easy to be tricked.
This grandson can't be saved, but he still has the rest of his descendants, and now the key is how to stop the loss.
You can't even plant yourself in it.
He could only close his eyes and sigh: "Mr. Yin, I am really ashamed of my old decay, indeed...... I only learned about it after the fact, and I relented for a while......"
When Mrs. Gu heard this, her eyes rolled, this time she really fainted.
On the other hand, Gu Changxing had already sent someone to ask about Gu Huaying's whereabouts, it turned out that this person was completely ignorant of the coming disaster, and he and a few gentlemen went to Fenyang City yesterday to look for flowers and willows, presumably he was still alive in the gold cave at this time.
Yin Jiyu got the news, and he didn't delay much in the Gu clan's family, with this large amount of "harvest", he returned to the Zhizhou Mansion with satisfaction - after this toss, Gu Changrong's position as the sect chief must not be kept, but it is beneficial and harmless to their plans, Gu Changrong lost power, everything must be subject to the clan arrangement, otherwise he will be expelled from the clan, it will really be a defeat and there is no place to turn over, Gu Changrong will weigh the gains and losses, and naturally understands what to do, so as not to be driven out and killed.
Zheng Sanye, who died in the Rongguo Mansion, actually used the excuse of the living to lure the children of the eunuchs to kill and injure his relatives in order to dominate the beauty, and caused such a big mess, but it can be calmed down by just reprimanding.
As for the return of spring, the next situation naturally did not concern her, but with Gu Changxing present, she could still stay and witness what the once invincible sect chief was.
Old Mrs. Xing also pulled Chun Gui up from the ground early, still standing beside her, but it was Mrs. Gu, after fainting, she was carried away by several servants, and was busy asking for a doctor.
Gu Changxing was silent, and his own supporters made it difficult: "Although it is said that the relatives are hidden from each other and are not subject to criminal responsibility, but the ancestors of the clan have done the evil deeds of killing and injuring their relatives, for the father and the ancestor, how can they also have the responsibility of lax education, after such evil deeds, what face does the clan have to lead the clan, and they will never be able to obey the public in the future!" ”
Gu Changrong is also a profound experience in the world, how can he not know what the purpose of Gu Changxing and other clan elders helped Chungui to set off this matter? No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he also knew that he had fallen into such a big handle, and the position of the patriarch had to be given up first, and he did not argue with the elders, and said discouragedly: "It is indeed the fault of my clan, I really have no shame to lead the clansmen again, this position of patriarch, you will discuss and elect a virtuous person to take responsibility, the old wife has been hit by this, and she is angry, this disease is serious, I will take care of it first......"
But Gu Changxing didn't want to let go of the Zong family like this: "I was about to theorize about the younger brother-in-law, the Liu family was the younger brother-in-law's companion room, if you want to say that you dare to kill yourself just by obeying Hua Ying's conspiracy, how can it be convincing." ”
"Does the eldest brother insist on letting a female dependent be held criminally responsible?" Gu Changrong said angrily.
He is not so protective of his wife because of his deep affection, but now he has lost his momentum, and he must no longer turn against his wife, you must know that his father-in-law's family, although it is not a powerful person, but it is also a rich party, and now the family is the old wife's nephew, and he has always respected his aunt, even if he can't bring their children and grandchildren into the office in the future, he also pointed to the nephew who can fund a fortune and open up contacts at a critical time.
If he sends his old wife to the state government, where will his nephew remember this family affection?
"Brother Rong is too impatient." Old Lady Xing didn't speak until this time: "Even if Brother Rong doesn't miss the love of husband and wife, the Gu clan will never let the female dependents be held criminally responsible, otherwise how can the door prevail?" Only since the younger brother-in-law became the patriarchal wife, there have been many unfairness, and it is precisely because she has always been partial to selfishness that she has caused such a serious disaster, if there is no punishment at all, it will not be convincing. ”
"So according to what my brother and sister-in-law see, what should I do?" Gu Changrong almost gritted his teeth before he could hold back his anger.
"Let the younger sister-in-law go to the nunnery of the clan to repent of her sins." At this time, the old lady Xing seemed to be the new patriarchal woman, and she simply made a decision: "Moreover, Hua Ying has committed such evil acts, how can the kinship between your clan and Jicang be maintained?" First, the funeral of Jicang's daughter-in-law, and the ceremony of returning from the pavilion in spring, can no longer be handled by the Zong family. ”
This is to completely sever the connection between the clan and the spring return, and it is also to publicize the sins committed by the clan to all the clansmen, and they are completely on the losing side.
Gu Changrong really wanted to let go, but he couldn't do it, if he really agreed, the slander of the clansmen would not be overwhelming, and the Zong family would really not have the slightest chance of recovering in the future.
At this time, even if you pinch your nose, you must lower your posture.
So Chungui actually watched, Gu Changrong bowed to her, although she really disdained it in her heart, but on the surface, she couldn't be indifferent, hurriedly avoided it, and knelt on the ground: "Grandpa is such a big gift, granddaughter really doesn't dare to accept it." ”
"Bozu is really ashamed, he was fascinated for a while, so he connived at his descendants to persecute you like this, and he didn't have the shame to say words of understanding, but he ...... Your grandfather is my sibling, you have a room and the clan, although you live separately but can not sever blood kinship, your mother is my nephew, her funeral, should be undertaken by the clan, to move the coffin at this time, I am afraid that the soul of the niece and daughter-in-law should also be uneasy, this matter, I hope you understand the granddaughter. ”
Without waiting for Chun Gui to speak, Gu Changrong said again: "As for your granddaughter, your marriage, now the Zong family is indeed powerless, and it is more appropriate to leave it to the sect chief and the sect woman...... However, in order to ask your granddaughter for your forgiveness, or to make up for it slightly, Bozu will prepare a dowry for you, and you don't have to sell your mother's former house, and the land property that belongs to your own house, as well as your mother's old jewelry, will be counted and returned one by one, if you are still resentful, even if you open your mouth, no matter how you ask Bozu to compensate, Bozu will not have a second word. ”
What else can we say about the return of spring?
Even the Li family, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but persuade: "Chun'er, don't be obsessed with your mother's funeral anymore, let the Dezong family continue to manage it, if you are too unrelenting, you will definitely let the clansmen slander." ”
So this turmoil, even if it is a temporary result, the funeral continues to be handled by the Zong family, but the marriage of the spring return was taken over by Gu Changxing, who became the head of the sect as he wished, and Gu Changrong did not break his promise, and really returned the land and property that originally belonged to the spring return for free, and then paid a dowry, but the spring return only left part of the money, and the rest was handed over to her other heir brother Hua Bin.
The brother and sister were not estranged from each other, but they saw each other now, but they were not as good as when they were young, and there were few elders around them, but Mrs. Xing was quite knowledgeable, she was sitting in the house, and she could see the brother and sister talking in the yard from a distance.
"A-Niang's house, rented out as usual, is also an income, although the elder brother said that he could not take the exam within three years, but he could not be distracted too much to delay his studies for the sake of his livelihood, fortunately, although the original field has changed hands, the tenant is still the old man in the past, and we are also employers for many years, there is no need for my brother to pay extra attention to the crop, pen income, brother can rest assured that he can dispose of it, no need to remember me, just ...... Brother Huaqu's parents still have siblings, and they have to work hard for my brother to waste a lot of heart, I know that they all want to get something for nothing, and my brother will never satisfy their desires, and my grandmother Xing also promised me that I will take care of them, at least urge my children not to be ridiculous anymore, and my brother looks at their lives, if they really can't get by, or when they have diseases, they will take care of them somewhat. ”
Reignwood originally returned to spring as his own sister, and when he heard this advice, he became more and more sad: "When A-Niang and my sister were killed, although I was anxious, I couldn't do anything, at this time...... How can you receive so much mercy again? According to me, my sister should take the family's assets with me. ”
"Doesn't my brother still treat me as a family?"
"What are these words, when did I stop treating you as my own sister?" Hua Reignwood glared, he was only more than a year older than Chungui, and he really couldn't put on a majestic posture of his brother.
"Then what is my brother and I doing with these things outside of our bodies?" Chungui sighed: "Zhao Dagongzi in the country to study, can not be delayed in Fenzhou for a long time, maybe when the mother is buried, after seven seven, I will go to Beiping with him, family affairs, in the future, I have to ask my brother, and my brother's future marriage, I am not worried that all by Xing Bozu is the master, the brother has to listen to the opinions of the seventh uncle and seven aunts, if there is any hindrance in the elders, send me a letter, let me mediate." ”
The words made the young man blush: "I want to mourn for my mother for three years, what marriage do you say now!" ”
Chungui glanced at his mother, who was comforting and smiling beside him, and pursed the corners of his lips slightly: "Brother has always known that at home, my father is the most impatient with these common rituals, although the mourning is for our sincerity, not out of etiquette, my brother's marriage, it is true that we can only wait until after the removal of the service, but there is no reason to mention it, after all, brother, just look at it, your marriage, so many relatives in the clan, will definitely think about it early, so that people don't worry." It is a major event related to your life, or the seventh uncle and seven aunts can really plan for you, I am also worried that my brother will have to have a relationship with the seventh uncle and seven aunts because of the succession of his parents and heirs, to prevent slander, there is no need for this, our family's affairs, we are in charge of our own affairs, and we will do whatever it takes to pay attention to gossip. ”
"I listen to you and ignore gossip." The gentle young man said seriously: "It's just a matter of marriage, I don't want to think about it for the time being, I have to wait until after the test." ”
Reignwood does not hope to gain fame and fame, and he can climb the daughter of Gaomen, but since he has inherited the heir, he has to think about Chungui as his own sister, Chungui is going to marry into Gaomen, and he still doesn't know what the character of his future husband is, Reignwood thinks that if he can get fame as soon as possible and become an official, he will have more people to rely on after Chungui, he is really ashamed that he is weak, and there is no way to stand up when Chungui is bullied.
Chungui also knew Reignwood's kindness, and his heart was warm, and he said: "My brother is used to knowing my temperament, rest assured, no matter what situation I will be in the future, I will never let myself be wronged." ”
The brother and sister were talking about themselves here, but they didn't know that in Fenyang City, Zhao Zhizhou's eldest son, Zhao Lanting, finally arrived on this day.
