Chapter 93: Complaint
Shen Xianhe knew his maternal grandmother.
She has never lied in front of her grandmother, so after she said this, the Queen Mother will definitely believe it.
Of course, the Empress Dowager's first object of suspicion was Situ Yongnian.
Shen Xianhe didn't have any evidence in her hand, she didn't say that it was Situ Yongnian who did it, but anyone who heard it would think so.
Shen Xianhe also felt that it would not be someone other than Situ Yongnian.
However, Shen Xianhe didn't expect that the Empress Dowager's first reaction was to question Situ Runya.
She also wanted to know how Situ Runya would answer the question of the Empress Dowager.
"The Empress Dowager, my brother is ruthless, in order to avoid his secret being exposed, of course he dares to do this kind of thing, in fact, I also suspect that he is the one who sent the killer, but I don't have any evidence, and I don't quite understand, when did he raise so many killers? Maybe there's someone behind him. ”
Situ Runya replied very frankly.
What she thought in her heart, she just answered, this is what the county lord told her.
Of course, Situ Runya wanted to be convicted of her brother immediately, but she had no evidence, and according to what she knew about the Situ family, her eldest brother should not have the money to raise so many killers.
"You evaluate your eldest brother like this, are you taking revenge for personal gain, or is it righteous to kill your relatives?"
The Empress Dowager's face is particularly majestic, she is rarely angry anymore, and she is a smiling old lady on weekdays, and she is very tolerant of the palace people who serve her.
Many people think that the Empress Dowager is a kind old lady.
However, once the Dragon's Scales are touched, what awaits you will be a bloody storm.
The first emperor has passed away for a long time, and the emperor and Xianhe are the grandchildren that the empress dowager cares about the most.
Someone dares to do something to his granddaughter, and the Queen Mother naturally wants to exterminate this person.
Shen Xianhe brought Situ Runya over, and the Empress Dowager had already guessed that there was something else, but it turned out to be related to this woman's eldest brother.
And Situ Runya didn't have the slightest quibble, and made her selfishness clear, the Queen Mother was interested, she wanted to know why Situ Runya didn't protect her eldest brother.
These two men either have a personal vendetta. Either there's something else.
"The Empress Dowager, I do have a personal enmity with my eldest brother, my eldest brother has always hated me, and I have always resented my eldest brother, because he caused my aunt to pass away from her sick bed......"
Situ Runya explained what she had said in front of Shen Xianhe again.
"I admit it, the county lord said that Qiuyun and Qiaolian were arranged by me, I just want to take revenge on my eldest brother, these things are all done by me, I am a selfish person, regardless of the friendship between brothers and sisters, but the county lord was besieged by a killer, I didn't know at all, and I didn't expect this to happen, it was I who brought trouble to the county lord, please punish the queen mother......"
"Has she always been so honest?"
The Empress Dowager turned to Shen Xianhe and asked, originally a little angry with Situ Runya, but this little girl knelt at his feet and said all the words, whether it was her hatred, her selfishness, her jealousy, there was no trace of concealment at all, the Empress Dowager rarely saw such an honest person.
"Grandmother, before coming to the palace, I told Miss Situ that if my grandmother has any problems, just say it, there is no need to hide it, and there is no need to add oil and vinegar, just say what she thinks, it seems that she listened to me, is my grandmother satisfied with her answer?"
"You girl, something so big happened yesterday, and neither your mother nor you told me right away. On the contrary, I came to the palace today to tell me about this matter, and now I have found evidence? That Situ Yongnian deceived people too much, and the mourning family will help you take revenge. ”
"Grandmother, if I had evidence, I would have gone to my cousin a long time ago, and let my cousin directly order Situ Yongnian to deal with him, those killers are all dead, and they are too clean, but I can't swallow my anger."
The Empress Dowager is not a willful person, and without evidence, she can't send someone to raid the Situ family and exterminate the family.
Since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, no one has ever taken the royal family so disregarded.
What's more, there is also a trace of possibility that it was not done by Situ Yongnian, the Empress Dowager is still a reasonable person, and the ministers in the court are all brainless, and without evidence, she cannot act arbitrarily.
However, it would be no problem to embarrass the Situ family first and give Xianhe some anger first.
"How do you want to teach Situ Yongnian a lesson?"
The Empress Dowager felt that she should respect her granddaughter's opinion.
"Grandmother, didn't I just tell you? Situ Yongnian coveted his sister-in-law and raised an outer room outside that looked very similar to his sister, if this matter was to the entire Qingliu Wenchen, all Situ Yongnian's reputation would be ruined, and when the time came, he would naturally become a rat crossing the street, and everyone would shout and beat him. ”
"That's how cheap he is?"
The Empress Dowager thinks. This punishment is too light, and it doesn't hurt people's bones, so it's not revenge.
"Empress Dowager, do you know, my eldest brother's ambition in this life is to be an official in the imperial examination, and he wants to display his ambition in the court, if he breaks his imperial examination road, it will definitely make my eldest brother feel painful."
Situ Runya suddenly said such a sentence in front of the Empress Dowager.
Her expression was faint, and her tone was neither hateful nor joyful, like a bland statement.
"This is not enough, I have to tell the emperor about this matter, so that he will not reuse this kind of dirty person in the future, ignoring morality, coveting his own sister, such an immoral person. How can you be qualified to become an important minister of the court! ”
After the Empress Dowager finished talking about this matter, Shen Xianhe smiled and gave a suggestion.
"Grandmother, cousin naturally has his own considerations, after all, Situ Yongnian's father is his teacher, he will definitely show mercy, grandmother may wish to send a letter directly to the Situ family, let them discipline their son well, let the Situ family remember the matter of Gangli Lunchang, and after that, you will send a separate letter to Situ Yongnian, directly criticizing him for ignoring Lunchang and coveting his own sister, so that his family can reflect on it, and everyone will know about Situ Yongnian at that time."
This is indeed ruthless enough, which can completely block Situ Yongnian's future path in the court, so that he will not have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination again.
"I heard that Situ Yongnian has a very good image in the hearts of those readers, if there is no evidence, will those readers make trouble?"
The Empress Dowager was a little worried, she hated reading people to cause trouble the most in her life, and she was caught by these scholars, maybe they dared to die.
In the revenge she wants, it is better to send someone to directly arrest Situ Yongnian in private and beat him, revenge on the surface, after all, it is easy to be caught.
"Grandmother, I'll bring Miss Situ over, because she has evidence in her hand, Situ Runya, bring the two paintings you brought."
Situ Runya answered, and then walked in front of the Empress Dowager, and she opened the two paintings and presented them in front of the Empress Dowager.
"The person on this painting looks very similar to my eldest sister, and there are love poems on it, which were drawn by my eldest brother himself, and the poems on it were also written by him himself, which is the evidence that my eldest brother covets my eldest sister."
"Then this is where the human and material evidence are all there, Situ Runya, since you have chosen to stand on the side of the county lord, have you thought about the future affairs? If you regret it, the mourning family will never let you go. ”
"The Queen Mother, people always have what they care about most in this life, what joy is life, what fear is death, even if the people's daughter dies directly now, I don't regret this decision."
"Go and call the emperor."
The Empress Dowager gave this command to the people around her, and immediately, the palace people walked towards the emperor's palace.
And here in Chu Xi, Situ Yongnian had just come to the palace, and he was kneeling in the main hall.
"Suddenly entered the palace to look for me, what's the matter?"
"The grass people are guilty!"
Situ Yongnian kowtowed deeply.
He told everything that happened in Zhuangzi and what happened later when he sent a killer to hunt down Shen Xianhe.
"Bold, Shen Xianhe is the county lord, who gave you the guts to send a killer!"
