Song Shi'an also knew that there had been some discussion in the capital about the death of his original partner. But in front of such a situation, he could only stiffen his neck and reply: "You don't talk nonsense here!" Your sister's death has nothing to do with my mother. What's more, today is still a big day for my mother's funeral, at this time, you dare to come to the gate of my Song Mansion to block the road, Helian Haoran, don't think that I, Song Shi'an, dare not report to the official to arrest you! ”

Helian Haoran did not show weakness, he lifted the curtain and said angrily: "You dare! ”

"Why wouldn't I?"

Song Shi'an was also full of anger at this time, as a left minister, he had always been rampant in the capital over the years. didn't say much at the moment, so he ordered someone to invite Jing Zhaoyin to come. Who knew that when he turned his head and looked, this Helian Haoran was not panicked at all, but ordered people to continue to surround the entire Song Mansion, and instructed very indifferently: "Surround this house for me, if anyone dares to slip away, I will not leave any mercy when I turn back." ”

Song Shi'an hated his former brother-in-law the most, because in front of Helian Haoran, he couldn't get rid of the appearance of that poor showman. There was nothing more hateful to him than the one who had known his predicament before.

But the current situation is that Helian Haoran is rich and powerful, and the people he brought are more than three times that of the entire Song Mansion.

So he could only endure it, thinking that after Jing Zhaoyin came, he would put you in prison for a few days before he spoke. But seeing Helian Haoran so good and confident, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

"Master, do you think he has any tricks? The concubine looked at him Helian Haoran's momentum, but it didn't look like her brain was caught by the door, and she was ready to come over and eat defeat? ”

Hearing Zhu Xiaoyan say this, Helian Haoran also turned around in some surprise and said, "You think so too?" ”

"That's right! Sir, you also know, this Helian Haoran is not a vegetarian character. Think about it, he hasn't made any movement over the years, but now he picked this time to come to the door to find fault, and you went to invite Lord Jing Zhaoyin to come over, you said, is this what kind of pit he dug waiting for us to jump down? ”

Song Shi'an listened to Zhu Xiaoyan's words this time, and he gritted his teeth in a low voice and said, "Well, what you said makes some sense." But what can we do to be dug by him? He is a businessman, and he has no power ....... in the court."

Just as he was suspicious, Jing Zhaoyin came with someone while talking. Seeing that the road was blocked at the gate of Zuo Xiang's Mansion, Jing Zhaoyin ordered someone to beat the opening drum and shouted very imposingly: "Who dares to spread wild at the gate of Zuo Xiang's Mansion?" Don't you see that today is a big day for white weddings in the world? ”

"Lord Jing Zhaoyin, you came just in time. Xiaomin Helian Haoran, there is a paper to be submitted to you. ”

With that, Helian Haoran lifted his robe and knelt down in front of Jing Zhaoyin in public. This Lord Jing Zhaoyin's surname is He, and his name is Shaokun, and he is a person who has long been bought by Helian Haoran with a large sum of silver. Seeing this at this time, he also vaguely said: "Oh? You said you had a paper to hand? Whatever needs to be so fanfare, let you hand it over to the official and show it. ”

Helian Haoran handed over the paper that had been prepared, and He Shaokun also pretended to take it. After he glanced at it, he said to Song Shi'an in front of a crowd of onlookers: "Lord Zuo Xiang, this Helian Haoran sued you and Zhu Xiaoyan for selling the dowry left by the original partner without permission, and also abusing the daughter born to the original partner, this kind of thing is not trivial, you see ........"

"What? He spews blood! ”

Hearing this, Song Shi'an naturally had an old face swollen red. He walked over and wanted to snatch the paper from Jing Zhaoyin's hand, but who knew that Helian Haoran then said in a loud voice: "Song Shi'an, you wolf-hearted thing!" Not only did you kill my sister, but you also conspired with Zhu Xiaoyan, a, to sell the large amount of dowry that I had married in Helian Mansion. You have abused your own daughter, so that her whereabouts are now unknown, you say, what qualifications does a person like you have to be such a position as Zuo Xiang? You simply don't deserve to be human! ”

"You talk nonsense! What credentials do you have? If not, the prime minister will go with you to see the official! ”

"Evidence? Okay, you want proof, right? I'm going to take it out and ask everyone to judge it together! ”

Helian Haoran said, and took out the list of dowries that Zhu Xiaoyan had sent to the pawnshop as collateral before.

"Look, everybody! Look! These are all pawn ticket receipts sent to me by Chase Pawnshop! The one who signed the money above is Zhu Xiaoyan, a cheap! You say, without the consent of Song Shi'an, the head of the family, she is just a concubine and dares to sell the dowry left by the original spouse? Unless she eats the ambition leopard guts! ”

His move caused a sensation in the crowd.

Because many of the people present were neighbors of the Song Mansion, they were deeply impressed by this coveted dowry. In addition, Helian Haoran prepared a lot of inside lines in advance, and under the guidance of these people, soon, everyone began to talk about each other.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that the dignified left minister would follow the stepfamily to snatch the dowry left by the original wife, tsk, this kind of thing is something that ordinary poor families can't do! Really, I'm not afraid of being poked in the back! ”

"That's right! I heard that this steproom used to be the dowry maid brought by the original wife, hum! Seeing how she dressed up so fancy, you knew that she was a fox. Don't think about it, it must be that this maid climbed into her uncle's bed, and then managed to kill the original wife together. Speaking of which, this Miss Helian is really pitiful! is so young, and within a few years of marrying into the Song Mansion, he has lost so much of his fragrance. People still came in with such a large dowry, and in the end they didn't leave the slightest good ........"

"That's it! This Song Shi'an is too unusual, if the embezzlement of the dowry is true, then he should be arrested and put in prison! ”

Listening to these discussions one after another, looking at the self-evident disdain and disgust in people's eyes, Song Shi couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness in his heart. He never expected that Helian Haoran would actually grasp the handle of instructing Zhu Xiaoyan to sell the original dowry for silver.

Could this be the pit he dug for himself? Just waiting for yourself to jump in and then close the net to watch a good show?

This is not good, if it is punished according to the customs of this dynasty, Helian Haoran only needs to sue himself to the Ministry of Rites, then he will be dismissed at best, and he will be punished by dozens of boards.

And in this way, his efforts in the past few decades will really be in vain, because, no matter which emperor he is, he will never reuse a person who does not respect the law of etiquette as a powerful minister.

Thinking of this, Song Shi'an, who had always been quick-witted, quickly turned his brain, and he said to everyone: "Everyone, everyone! Listen to what I say. I really don't know anything about this pawn ticket or dowry. All of this was done by this slut Zhu Xiaoyan alone! I really didn't manage my family strictly, so I told you to see the jokes, and I was also taught. ”

Zhu Xiaoyan never expected that at this time, she would be ruthlessly betrayed by her husband. He puts all the blame on himself, so what should he do? Do you obediently bow your head and confess your guilt, or do you try your best to fight for yourself, so as not to be in a situation like being in prison?

"Sir, you can't ...... like that."

Zhu Xiaoyan opened his mouth to plead with Song Shi'an, and saw him slap him and slap his ears fiercely.

"Slut! Why don't you explain it quickly, say! What the hell is going on, why did you sell the dowry left by your wife without permission, are you going to do the opposite? ”

"Master, I don't, I ......."

Zhu Xiaoyan was slapped by Song Shi'an and fell to the ground, and she just wanted to open her mouth to distinguish for herself, when she heard Song Shi'an come over and threaten in a low voice: "If you dare not admit your guilt, I will sell you to the kiln when I turn around!" ”

Zhu Xiaoyan saw that his eyes were fierce, and knew that he would do what he said, so he shivered a little, immediately gritted his teeth, and finally resolutely said: "Yes, master, the concubine is guilty." Concubines shouldn't be ......".

"Daddy! Mother, what are you doing here? ”

As he was talking, he saw Song Zilan moving over with a fan. She elegantly covered half of her face with a fan, and pleaded with Song Shi'an: "Daddy, please forgive your mother this time, mother she is also forced to do so, blame you for being too honest as an official, usually no matter who gives you anything, even if you play with a stitch and a thread, you will not accept it." Did you know? Over the years, relying on your meager income, our family has faced an unsustainable dilemma many times. Therefore, the mother also had no way, so she used her brain to talk about the dowry of the eldest lady. You see, aren't all these pawn tickets written alive? As long as our house is turned around, this dowry can still be redeemed........"

Song Shi'an was overjoyed when he heard his daughter's words. That's right, what my daughter said was that she was looking for the stairs for herself! As long as you insist that you are because you are an honest official, so the backyard will be in financial distress, and the people will not criticize too much.

Besides, he had already put the blame on Zhu Xiaoyan a long time ago, and if he really couldn't do it, he would pull her out to apologize. Anyway, this slut himself has long been tired of playing, and it is also a good thing to take the opportunity to change to a new taste.

So he immediately nodded, agreed with his daughter's words, and squeezed out a few tears in a timely manner, and said to Song Zilan pretendedly: "Lan'er, it seems that you still know your father best." You're right, Daddy is really guilty, he has been an official for so many years, because he only thinks about honesty and integrity, so he still makes your life so embarrassing. It's just that your mother is too confused, isn't she doing this to ignore the law of the country? Alas, to put it mildly, it's all Daddy's fault, Daddy shouldn't be ........."
