303 Guilty verdict
Xu Wanxi turned her face sideways and didn't speak.
It was because of Wan's presence that she was even more uneasy.
It's just that this is ugly, Zhen Zhen once confessed to her, and it was the same only to muttered in her heart, there was no need to say it to let people grab the handle.
However, her silent appearance was enough to embarrass Wan.
"We'll stay for now." Zhang Meishou spoke at the right time.
It's not that she has to get involved, in the end, the Xu family is too weak, she stays, and the Tian family has a reason to stay.
The prince of Dingguo nodded and didn't say much, but his eyes looked at Zhang Meishou a little gentle.
"Go back with me first, so as not to cause trouble." He said to his son.
"Father, I will also stay to protect my aunt!" Xu Yongning is righteous.
Why can others stay, and when they come to him, they add to the chaos?
The prince of Dingguo frowned.
Why didn't you see your son so sensible and diligent in the past?
Now that there is no excitement to make up, staying in one place with a group of female relatives still can't suffocate him?
What son suddenly grew up overnight, he didn't believe a word of this kind of nonsense.
It's pretty much the same to beat a bad idea!
At this time, he would not allow any mistakes, and it would be safer to bring back this evil element of unknown purpose.
Thinking of this, the prince of Dingguo didn't bother to explain, so he grabbed his son and walked outside.
"Father......!"
Xu Yongning was ashamed and indignant.
In front of the Zhang family's sister, can't you save some face for him!
Is there a father who ruins his son's image like this in front of a little girl!
……
Zhang Meishou and Xu Wanxi stayed at Ning's house until the next morning.
Although the Duchess of Dingguo rushed to the palace overnight, the palace door had already been locked, and she was not able to enter the palace to see the queen mother until the ugly time had passed.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother couldn't see the old sister wiping her tears, so everything went smoothly next.
As soon as the prince of Dingguo got the edict, he immediately rushed to Ningfu to pick up people.
Ning Tong and his wife were furious, but they didn't dare to stop them anymore, and could only watch as the Dingguo Mansion took Xu's mother and daughter away.
As soon as Zhang Meishou returned to Zhang's house, he was called by the Song family.
Song's eyes were so red that he couldn't sleep all night.
More than once, she asked people to go to the vicinity of Ningfu to inquire about the news, and the people who came back only said that Ningfu was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the situation was extremely terrifying.
And thinking that her daughter was in the Ning Mansion, how could she sleep peacefully!
"I know that you are good friends with the girl of the Xu family, but you shouldn't have taken it upon yourself to get involved in other people's family affairs, so you followed all the way to Ning Mansion! Not to mention, the Ning family was in such a dangerous situation last night, if you have any three longs and two shorts-"
When Song said this, he suddenly paused nervously.
Aunt Zhao on the side hurriedly slapped her three times lightly and quickly.
Song Shi then continued: "You kid, just follow me, you are too warm-hearted, this is not a bad thing." But if you can really help, in the end, not only will you not be able to help, but you will put yourself in a trap, and that is a private matter of others, and they may not be willing to let you know - you say, isn't it thankless? ”
"Mother, I know that you are worried about me and feel sorry for me."
Zhang Meishou lowered his head and took the initiative to propose: "Otherwise, you will punish me to kneel in the ancestral hall, right?" ”
Song frowned when he heard this.
If it's getting colder and colder today, isn't kneeling in the ancestral hall a bad abuse of children?
Besides, what is the difference between letting her daughter kneel in the ancestral hall and punishing her for herself!
Didn't she find fault with herself?
Also, who is in a hurry to ask for punishment?
But if she directly says that she will not be punished, will her daughter feel that she is too soft and easy to fool, and she will become more and more nonsense in the future?
Song was upset and anxious, when he suddenly heard the maid come in and say, "Madam, the eldest girl and the eldest son heard that the second girl was back, so they came to find the second girl." ”
Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the secret way came in time, but he pretended to be impatient and said: "You don't call people clean early in the morning, you go out to talk with your eldest brother and sister, don't make noise with me......"
"Yes."
Zhang Meishou lowered his head and withdrew with a smile.
"Wait."
Song looked at her again, frowned and said, "You don't need to tell your grandmother about this, she is old, but she can't stand your anger!" ”
Zhang Meishou should come down and walk out of the room briskly.
She knew that her mother was deliberately helping her hide from her grandmother, because she was afraid that her grandmother would punish her.
But my mother wanted to stand up and let her have a long memory, so she had to put on this angry appearance.
The air in the early morning was cool, Zhang Meixian and Zhang Qiuchi were waiting in the courtyard, and they saw Zhang Meishou coming out at a glance.
The two of them greeted him.
"Second sister, can my mother punish you?"
"You're in Ning Mansion, haven't you been embarrassed?"
Seeing that the two of them looked concerned, Zhang Meishou smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine, let you worry." ”
"That's good, you can't act so impulsively next time......" On the way back to send Zhang Meishou back, Zhang Meixian whispered.
Zhang Meishou nodded.
What happened in the Ning family last night, and the reason why she rushed over, these words are out of respect for the Dingguo Mansion and the Xu family, and it is inconvenient for her to talk to people at the moment.
So, she could only listen to Zhang Qiuchi and Zhang Meixian, one left and one right whispering in her ear all the way.
But she felt very good about such days.
Back in Yuyuan, after Zhang Qiuchi and Zhang Meixian left, Zhang Meishou asked Ah Li to find cotton.
Cotton told her everything about last night and the news she had heard.
Zhang Meishou made up his mind.
She didn't expect Ji Xiao to come forward before.
After thinking about it, it is not difficult to speculate that it was instructed by whom.
She was a little surprised, and she had a lot of speculation and feelings.
……
After the day came, unintentionally and intentionally, all kinds of news about the Ning family completely caused a sensation inside and outside the capital.
Cheng Ran didn't close his eyes all night, but he was still full of energy.
He entered the palace and asked to see Emperor Zhaofeng, presented a lot of evidence, and confessed to everyone.
Of the three women, only one spoke calmly and coherently about her experience, pointed out Nintong's crimes, and was not afraid to show some of her scars.
The other two women, completely speechless, screamed and cried or curled up in a trembling ball, and did not want to see anyone at all.
In addition, the official found two female corpses that had just begun to decompose in a dry well in the Ning family's Zhuangzi near the Wushui River.
Zhuangzi, the steward, seemed to be frightened and stimulated, and after being captured and brought to the yamen, after a little interrogation, he confessed all his actions.
Emperor Zhaofeng didn't look at the thick fold, but just listened to Cheng Ran say.
In this way, Ning Tong's charge of imprisoning, abusing and killing nearly 30 women has been completely confirmed.
Cheng Ran was still talking about some of the details he had gotten.
Emperor Zhaofeng raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Needless to say."
Cheng Ran's expression froze, and he subconsciously held his breath.
In the end, it is unfathomable that His Majesty is acting because he really does not know what will happen next.
