Chapter 69: A Strange Case (Part 2)
The Jiangning Mansion in mid-autumn is not clean, the spacious mansion hall is crowded with people, on one side is Mrs. Xiao Liu, who was invited by the official, on the other side is Mrs. Pei of the Du family, and on the other side is the lady of the Yin family, Luo, the second room lady of the Yin family, among whom is kneeling is the mother Zhan who has been beaten to pieces and Tu'er who is scared, and the bitter lord Xiao Rongyue has a sick face on the side, and there are also the mothers-in-law and maids of each family who never know the number, and the enthusiastic audience who got the news and crowded outside the door to watch the excitement I don't know the number. The hall of the government has become a lively market.
Huang Youguang, Sima of Jiangning Mansion, listened to the noise outside, his head was about to become two big, and he smiled bitterly and said to the young Lang Jun who was sitting on the table eating tea: "General Cheng smiled, you just encountered such a thing when you arrived in Jiangning Mansion, and you want to invite the general to go to Bezhuang to enjoy the moon and taste tea, this, this ...... It's a faux pas. ”
That General Cheng was only in his early twenties, and when he heard him say this, he smiled slightly, and owed to Huang Youguang: "Huang Sima is too polite, Yu's hasty visit is rude, today is mid-autumn, and it disturbs the festival of Sima and his family." ”
Huang Youguang shook his head helplessly: "Where is there any festival, it's not a matter that has come to the door, but it also involves the Yin family." ”
"The Yin family? Is it Yin Sheren's house? Cheng Yu was puzzled, this is Jiangning Mansion, how could Yin Mansion have anything to do with this.
Huang Youguang said with a smile: "It is the same clan of the Yin Sheren, and this Yin Jialang master is the younger brother of the Yin Sheren." ”
"It's just that this matter is very strange and troublesome, and it is also involved with the other two families in Jiangning Mansion, and it is all in the inner courtyard, and the people sitting in the hall are all female dependents, and the Jiangning County Ya dare not take it, so it is sent to me, and it has become a stage in this mansion."
He sighed and shook his head, and said with a smile to Cheng Yu: "I'm afraid that the files that the general wants will have to wait for someone to find them, and I have to break this case first, the Yin family's side ...... This petty official is embarrassed, and I hope the general will forgive me. ”
Cheng Yu smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'll wait here." ”
Huang Youguang got up and came out, but the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, and it became a little more dignified.
Changshi Zhu Dasheng saw that his face was not good, and approached: "Fujun, this General Cheng...... Is it the meaning of the East Palace? ”
Huang Youguang looked left and right, and sighed heavily: "He was ordered to sort out the military affairs in the southeast, and he wanted to check the files of the raids on the people over the years, but when the Changdu Lieutenant of Zhichong Prefecture was sick for a long time, I led the affairs of the government soldiers for him, and he had to be involved, which is really painful." ”
Zhu Dasheng also frowned: "The military department is not taken care of by King Yan, and it has always been for stability, how could there be a sudden movement?" ”
Huang Youguang shook his head: "We are thousands of miles away from Chang'an, I'm afraid I don't know what the situation is, but I just saw the last time Chang Erlang came over, and the current one, I'm afraid it's not difficult to think that the East Palace and King Yu are already a little uncontrollable." ”
Zhu Dasheng was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Shi Chen, after all, it is against the way of heaven and humanity, no matter which one is the orthodoxy of the Li family." ”
"It's rotten in my stomach!" Huang Youguang frowned and looked at the lobby outside the screen, "You and I are both ants, so it's better to spare your life." ”
Cheng Yu, who was sitting in the back hall, was slowly eating tea, although the little guy sent pastries and fresh fruits up, but after running around for a few days, he was a little tired after sitting for a long time, he simply got up and scattered, listening to someone crying in the lobby in front of him, he was also a little curious for a while, and approached and stood behind the screen to look over.
“…… The maid was greedy for a while, and stole a few dowry pawns from the lady and took down the house. "In the past few days, Zhan's mother has suffered a lot in the prison cell of the government office, and a handful of old bones have been tortured to death, which is also the special care of the Yin family, she doesn't dare to hide it now, and she pours beans into the bamboo tube and says it clean.
It's a pity that the Luo family in the hall doesn't think so, but she read the house deed and cut the knot book taken out by Tao Zhan's family in the mansion, which is written in the name of Xiao Liu's family, if there is no Xiao Liu's support for such a mother-in-law, how can a slave family dare to buy and sell the house and defraud the Yin family.
Huang Sima naturally asked the same way, and Xiao Liu's side had already opened his mouth with a look of wrongedness: "...... I didn't know anything about this, and I never let her steal Yue Niang's dowry, where did I think that such an old slave would dare to move such a thought, if I had known, it would be impossible to tolerate her! ”
"Yue Niang grew up in the palm of my hand, where are I willing to let her suffer a little grievance?" She cried out of breath, looking so sad that she was about to faint.
Huang Sima looked at Xiao Yanagi, who was good at singing and writing, and frowned: "What's the matter with the ginseng?" I just asked Lang Zhong to take a look, and the ginseng you sent was soaked in aconitum medicinal juice. ”
Xiao Liu's tears couldn't be stopped: "This is even more of a thing, that is the lady of my Xiao family, how can I harm her, it is Lord Lang and I who have seen that she has not been well these days, and I feel sorry for her so I sent some medicinal materials over, and I have no other thoughts." ”
She took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears: "I can't say that someone else did it, poor Yueniang, she has only been through the door for less than a few months, and she has encountered these things, I ...... in my heart."
Her words were originally shirk, but they happened to poke Pei's heart, she was in a hurry, and said loudly: "Who can still move, that ginseng was sent by you, and the person she married was chosen by you, and who else can intervene." ”
Before she finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and glared at the Xiaoliu clan, secretly hating the Xiaoyanagi clan for wanting to push the matter on herself, and she didn't even think about it!
Xiao Yanagi stared at Pei with wide eyes, and even forgot to maintain a sad expression, is this crazy? The two of them are now grasshoppers on the same boat, why did they jump up and bite them first?
She came back to her senses, and she was not ambiguous: "After all, it is Du Mansion, the rules in the house are big, and no one can think about Yue Niang's marriage, and there is also a murderous intention." ”
Pei Shi was angry, and he knew that Xiao Yanagi was not a good thing, and he wanted to pull her into the water like this!
It's just that before she could speak, Zhan's mother and Tu'er, who were kneeling on the ground and wailing in pain, began to shout wrongs again, and the mother-in-law brought by Luo couldn't help but jump out to argue with her.
Cheng Yu stood behind the screen and listened for a while to know the probability, and couldn't help frowning, this is a rare thing that is rarely heard of, the mother-in-law and the mother's family teamed up to murder the bride, not only wanting to be greedy for the dowry, but also harming their lives, which is really disgusting.
He was curious for a while, and turned to look at Xiao Rongyue, who had been sitting silently at the bottom of the hall, wanting to see what kind of person this bitter master was, being bullied like this, ordinary women were afraid that they were already crying and grieving.
However, he was amazed, the young lady sat firmly on the couch, although her face was pale and bloodless, but her body was straight, her face was as white as jade, her eyebrows were half drooping, but her expression was as calm as a pine, and when he looked curiously a few more times, as if sensing his gaze, she raised her eyes and looked over, and a glance shocked his heart.
Those eyes are as bright as stars, and the clear black and white seems to have the power to see through people's hearts.
