Mrs. Yi and Chungui arrived at the pavilion one step ahead of Xu's mother, and at this time, Mrs. Han didn't even have the leisure to entertain guests, she didn't care about Mrs. Yi and Chungui at all, her eyes stared at the escalator, causing everyone to look at the staircase, and the atmosphere on the pavilion was suddenly weird and dignified.

Hearing the sound of "bang" footsteps, Mrs. Han couldn't help but walk quickly to the top of the ladder, and everyone didn't even see the figure of Mother Xu, so Mrs. Han couldn't wait to speak: "What's the matter, is Brother Zhu suffering again?" ”

It turned out that it was out of concern for the eldest son, Mrs. Yi and Shu Niangzi glanced at each other, and they followed, they were able to understand Mrs. Han's anxiety, and as mothers, they all knew how worried their children would be once they had a sickness, not to mention that Cheng Zhu's body was well-known and weak, Shu Niangzi didn't even expect that he would really come to the annex to participate in the banquet today, if Cheng Zhu was really affected by this for this reason, she would not be able to go.

Mother Xu was blocked on the stairs, panting for breath, and at this time, she didn't care if there were any others at the scene, and reported in a trembling voice: "The little guy who ran errands in the gatehouse outside didn't say carefully, and the old slave only heard that it was Master Shi who pushed the official yamen, and led a group of officials to the annex, and first said that he wanted to detain Jiang Xiong and bring him back to the yamen for questioning, and let him ...... also let the uncle and the seventh master also have to go to the yamen with him......"

Mrs. Han only felt five thunderbolts: "What do you say?" Even if Zhu'er and Yu'er have not been awarded their fame, they are also the children of the Guogong Mansion, how can Shi Tuiguan dare to detain them without asking for reasons?! ”

"Madame...... Master Shi said that Aunt Gu's father and brother went to the yamen to complain, and said yes, said yes...... said that the lady was suspected of murdering a good concubine, and the lady had a decree that Master Shi could not bow unless he was invited, but he could ...... Master Shi said that it was reasonable and legal to let the uncle and the seventh master go to the yatang for questioning first......"

"What does this have to do with Zhu'er?!" Mrs. Han is really in chaos, she can't imagine the consequences of her eldest son being tortured, at this time, she can't care about whether she can hide the crime, her mind is numb, but it is like a deafening voice sneering - the retribution of iniquity is coming, the retribution of iniquity is coming after all, your sin is affecting your son after all, who let Cheng Zhu also be your son? The mother's debt is repaid, he can't get out of it and can't be left alone, you connived at Cheng Yu to kill other people's children, and your children will also suffer from God's curse!

"Can't let Zhu'er push the official yamen, he doesn't know anything! He is indeed innocent and innocent! As if she was responding to the cold accusation in her mind, and as if she was reassuring herself, Mrs. Han didn't realize that her statement was actually counted as admitting the crime, she did commit murder, but this son was not Cheng Zhu, but her other son Cheng Yu.

Xiao Gongling frowned tightly, and his expression was suddenly cold.

After all, the fifth girl is the niece and granddaughter of the Queen Mother, if Cheng Yu is such a virtuous Cheng Min and the Han family still try to marry the Shen family, this is not at all in the eyes of the Queen Mother and the Ningguo Mansion!

Mrs. Han only cared about how to protect the whole Zhu, forced herself to calm down and instructed Mother Xu: "You are fast, go and stop it first, saying that I am willing to accept the interrogation of Shi Tuiguan, and he can cooperate with me as much as he wants, don't ask for it, let him not embarrass Zhu'er." ”

Half of the host of this main family even forgot to say goodbye to the guests, so he had to follow behind Mother Xu, who was like an arrow from the string, staggering behind her and gritting her teeth to follow as fast as possible.

Shu Niangzi and Xiao Gongling glanced at each other, both a little hesitant.

If you want to say that people suddenly encounter such an urgent change, others should be more interesting, Shu Niangzi, this east

Dao half of the main family either turned around on behalf of Mrs. Han and simply ended the banquet, or on behalf of Mrs. Han to explain why she left the table, in short, there was no reason to go to the onlookers to make trouble in this situation, but Shu Niangzi must have a sure way to go back to report to her in-laws to completely end this marriage, Xiao Gongling needs to investigate the root of the Empress Dowager Shengde, and it is really against the subjective wish not to go to the onlookers.

Should human feelings be temporarily eliminated?

Chungui is the planner, and she has already thought of an excuse.

At this time, he said: "I heard my uncle say that Shi Tuiguan is the most iron-faced, selfless, upright and strong, but this incident, I am afraid that it is unreasonable to slander Shi Tuiguan for believing the plaintiff's side of the words, Mrs. Han is also protective of her son, it is inevitable to be anxious and impetuous, and those who are in a hurry are afraid that they will deepen the misunderstanding, even if the case is revealed later, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm down the rumors and slander." ”

Xiao Gongling was very satisfied and gave Chungui a look of praise, and immediately took the lead: "Mrs. Han stays, you are the dignified lady of the world, the second order of the imperial court, the queen mother has always maintained the dignity of the wife, within the law, there is no room for insults, it stands to reason that Shi Gong can not be interrogated privately without asking for the permission of the court, Mrs. Han is willing to take the initiative to accept interrogation, this is to follow the etiquette and law to cooperate with the yamen to handle the case, but after all, you are a dependent, and there is a decree, whether it is in accordance with the laws and regulations of the country or etiquette and morality, There is no reason to be questioned by officials alone without being invited, and so many restrictions hinder theoretical justification, and cannot eliminate the hidden danger of the three of them becoming tigers to spread false rumors.

Although I am also a woman, in the end I am a female official in the inner court, although I can't interfere with the official's questioning, but today I went to the banquet on the order of the Queen Mother, and encountered this change halfway, after returning to the palace, I should have explained the details to the Queen Mother, so that I should go with Mrs. Han, first, to help the middle generation to pass on the inquiry, and then I can also make a witness, if it is really Diao Min who falsely accused Mrs. and Linglang, after returning to the palace, I should be Ming Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager will not allow Mrs. to suffer such humiliation, and then slander the rumors. ”

Although Taizu must have a holy decree that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but the affairs of the internal and external women are indeed within the responsibility of the queen mother and the queen, and Mrs. Han really can't refuse this set of rhetoric from Xiao Gongling. Without waiting for Mrs. Han's reaction, Shu Niangzi also said: "Since I borrowed the annex of the British Mansion today, and such a sudden accident occurred, would it be moral for me to stand by and watch?" Let's go with Mrs. too, at least you can be a witness, Xiao Gu, you are very aware of the situation, even the Queen Mother praised you for your fiery eyes and judgment of the case like a god, today Mrs. Han encountered such a tricky matter, you can't be lazy. ”

As soon as he pulled over the spring return, he stepped on Mrs. Han's heels.

She finally understands why Chungui invited Xiao Gongling to be there, first, to facilitate onlookers, and once this matter is so clear that even the Queen Mother is clear, it really saves her from going back to persuade her in-laws to reject the Cheng family, no matter how intimate the child is, her own daughter can't compare.

As soon as Mrs. Yi saw this situation, she immediately echoed the two "yes, yes", with a low and weak voice, she resolutely followed, and she didn't care about the sophistication of the world or anything, and she had to find a way to get a sneak peek of this excitement.

Mrs. Han stumbled under her feet, of course she knew that none of these onlookers would stand in her position, and the words were good, all to find out, but she really couldn't take care of this at this time, and coupled with the consistent blind obedience, she lacked the bones that the preparation of the master mother should have, and she had always been an attached existence, how could she be expected to become resolute and decisive? Her only thought now is to protect the whole pearl, and others must make way for this thought.

It is not appropriate for onlookers to bring servants and maids, and Mrs. Han doesn't want the rest of the servants and maids who are not top confidants to know about her misdeeds, so Xiao Gongling can only help Han Fu

People go all the way, and the pressure of Chun Gui is great, she needs to support Mrs. Yi with one hand and Shu Niangzi with the other, which seriously affects the speed of travel, and she has not walked out of the inner courtyard of the Tianmo Annex for a quarter of an hour.

Fortunately, I met Xu's mother on the way, and the good news she brought back was that Shi Tuiguan was finally accommodating, and I heard that Mrs. Han was willing to accept his interrogation, and because Cheng Zhu was in charge, Jiang Xiong had been handed over for questioning, and Shi Tuiguan no longer insisted that Cheng Zhu and Cheng Yu be brought back to the yamen for interrogation.

Mrs. Han's hanging breath was only half relieved.

She set the place of interrogation in the hall in the weeping flower door of the annex, and asked Xu's mother to set up a screen and "clean up the scene" first, but the pace did not slow down, when she finally walked to the inside of the screen through the hall, Mrs. Han almost did not collapse, she had the strength to apologize to Shi Tuiguan first: "I am a family member, so I have to see Shi Gong here, and I hope that Shi Gong will not be slack." ”

"This official is not here for a banquet today, so how can you talk about the word slack? Madame does not need to be polite. Shi Tuiguan stood up from his seat through the screen and responded.

Chungui heard from Lan Ting's dictation that this Uncle Shi Shi was jealous and hateful, obviously from a Jinshi but refused to work in the Hanlin Academy step by step, and his ambition was to be a Qingtian criminal officer who judged cases like a god, so Chungui was extremely curious about this Shi Tuiguan, she really wanted to see with her own eyes what such an awe-inspiring and righteous type of person should be described physically, so as to improve her own skills of inspecting people and Zhao Xiu to narrow the gap, but unfortunately, the barrier set up by Xu's mother turned out to be composed of several solid wood carvings, This can block the figures on both sides so tightly that it seriously affects the convenience of onlookers.

But listening to Uncle Shi Shi's tone, it seems that he is excited?

Shi Tuiguan is indeed excited, not long after taking office, first successfully cracked the sensational Fan family extermination case, and it didn't take long for civilians to sue the British Duke's wife and his sister-in-law, and now the people have the courage to not be afraid of the powerful, it must be because everyone knows that he is in charge of the Tuiguan Yamen, and he is bound to enforce the law fairly, the people trust him so much, of course he must take it seriously, and go straight to the lofty ambition of the Qingtian criminal officer.

No matter who breaks the law, it must not be tolerated or connived at!

Shi Tuiguan, who had just sat down, was about to ask about the case, but saw a woman turn out on the other side of the screen.

"Yu's surname is Xiao, it is the order of the Cining Palace, today by the order of the Empress Dowager Shengde, I came to the banquet convened by Shu Niangzi through the Chengfu annex, and I heard that Shi Gong pushed the official yamen to come, and he actually wanted to bring the two sons of the British Mansion Cheng Shizi to the official office for interrogation, and it seems that he also wanted to ask the wife of the prince to accept the interrogation, Yu did not dare to obstruct Shi Gong's case, just because it involved the innocence of the imperial court's wife, Yu Dou dared to remind him first, and hoped that Shi Gong would not listen to one-sided words, and also needed to master the evidence, not to humiliate the noble and the prestige of the woman."

As soon as Xiao Gongling appeared, he first explained that he was the palace person of the Queen Mother, and Shi Tuiguan had no choice but to stand up again and bow solemnly: "Of course, this official knows the rules of the imperial court, and he didn't dare to take the liberty of interrogating Mrs. Shizi, so today's intention is only to arrest the suspect Jiang Xiong based on the plaintiff's confession, and to summon Cheng Zhu and Cheng Yu to the official office for interrogation, but because Mrs. Shizi sent the servant Xu Shi to tell that Mrs. Shizi was willing to be questioned, this official will be questioned without being asked." ”

Xiao Gongling completely grasped the initiative, and did not wait for Mrs. Han to speak: "After Yu returns to the palace, he needs to explain today's events to the Queen Mother in detail, so I also asked Shi Gong to explain the whole case in advance." ”

Chungui gave Xiao Gongling a thumbs up in his heart, and secretly invited this person to come to Tianmo Annex today, and it was really the right person.

But Mrs. Han's mood was completely different, even if she was sitting in a chair now, she couldn't help but feel weak in her knees for a while.
