Volume 1 The Orphan Girl in the Imperial Capital Chapter 35 Forcing people to death
Early in the morning, Mu Yunlan had just finished breakfast when she heard a noise outside the courtyard.
Qingsleeve ran in quickly, looking panicked: "Miss, the front yard is in trouble, and two people died on the stone lion at the gate of the mansion this morning!" Now, those who have been dismissed are gathered at the door, saying that they want to ask you for an explanation. ”
Mu Yunlan's fingers snapped away: "Which store's employee was killed?" ”
"Both of them are employees of the grain store, one is called Qian San, and the other is called Zhou Qi."
"Fourth Miss!" Before Qing Sleeves could finish explaining, the door of the room was slammed open from the outside, and Mother Luo, who was beside Geng's family, and Lu Rui, who was next to the eldest lady, walked in with people one after the other, "Old lady, please go for a trip, come with us!" ”
Mu Yunlan quietly raised her eyes, got up and tidied up her dress, and carefully wrapped the cleaned whip around her waist: "Let's go." ”
Mother Luo blocked Mu Yunlan's way with an expressionless face: "Fourth Miss, the old lady has ordered, you are a woman with a whip is indecent, please take off the whip." ”
Mu Yunlan glanced at her and was unmoved: "I'm a very vulgar person, it's indecent and indecent, I don't care." ”
"Fourth Miss!" Mother Luo frowned, and her voice unconsciously carried a bit of sternness and dissatisfaction.
As the ancients said, each other is born from the heart.
Mu Yunlan has a soft appearance and a slender body, and the original owner had a weak personality during his lifetime, so the whole person is becoming more and more delicate, but now that she has changed her core, even her appearance has begun to change, and the whole person has faded from cowardice to become radiant, and the eyebrows and eyes are beautiful.
Now her face is expressionless, and her breath around her body is cold, which makes people feel not angry and arrogant: "Mother Luo, as a subordinate, don't worry about the affairs between the masters, I understand what my grandmother means, but I think it's good to carry a whip, if she is blamed by the old man, I will bear it alone, let's go." ”
Luo's mother was refuted, her face was red and white, and she was extremely unsightly. She is an old man next to the old lady, and she has a lot of face in the house, even if the eldest lady sees her, she will not be so bluntly reprimanded.
In Qinghe Courtyard, Geng was half-leaning on a chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, and only then did he open his eyes when he heard Luo's mother come forward and say that the fourth lady was coming.
Mu Yunlan stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen my grandmother." ”
Geng's forehead was scratched by a ferret, and the wound had scabbed a few days ago, so he wrapped it in a cloth at this time, and then brought an emerald to wipe his forehead, but he couldn't see it.
"Yun Lan, now a group of people have gathered at the gate of the mansion, saying that you are careless of people's lives and forcing Zhongliang to death," Geng Shi looked at her coldly, with a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes, "Those people were all dismissed from the three-room shop, and now you are in charge of the three-room shop alone, don't tell me that you don't know about this matter." ”
Mu Yunlan didn't ask her to get up without being polite after seeing that she finished speaking, she stood up straight and responded lightly: "I know." ”
"So, you're admitting your guilt." Geng Shi said sharply.
Mu Yunlan glanced at her strangely: "Grandmother, I just said that I know about this matter, when will I admit that I am guilty, besides, the shop is mine, I can use whoever I want, and I can fire whoever I want, are they all uncles, and I still have to hold and respect?" ”
Geng's forehead jumped, and the wound was involved in a burst of headaches, which made her want to point at Mu Yunlan and scold her, but when she thought of Mu Jianyu's instructions, she could only endure it secretly:
"You are simply stubborn, your grandfather asked me to call you over, just to hope that you will tell the truth, so that he can help you deal with it, since you don't admit it, then go to the gate of the house and explain it yourself. Mother Luo, take her out, I don't want to see such a person who corrupts the family style! ”
Mu Yunlan sneered in her heart, I don't want to see my grandmother who always wants to pour dirty water on her granddaughter!
"Grandmother, then you take care of your injuries, Dr. Chen said, the ferret is scratched, if you don't take care of it well, the scar can't be removed, you are older, you should pay more attention." After speaking, without waiting for Geng's seizure, he strode away directly.
Geng's chest tightened in anger, and he grabbed the teacup in his hand and slammed it into the place where Mu Yunlan was standing just now: "Little cheap hoof, today depends on how you get rid of your crimes!" ”
A lot of people gathered at the gate, and many people around heard the movement and rushed over to see the excitement.
Mu Yunlan saw the two young men standing at the gate of the mansion from a distance, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly: It's the eldest prince and the third prince!
It is understandable that the third prince came here, after all, he wants to cheer for his cousin, what is the eldest prince coming to do?
Yue Xiaoqing turned around when she heard the footsteps, and met Mu Yunlan's curious eyes, the corners of her lips moved slightly, and the expression on her face was not as stiff as before.
Mu Yunlan saw that his expression was distorted for a moment, and he was a little confused, so when he saw the third prince's gentle and polite smile, he suddenly realized that the eldest prince was laughing just now, but why was his smile so stiff? Didn't you smile when you saw him last time, but drank too much?
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and smiled at Yue Xiaoqing: "I've seen the eldest prince, the third prince, and my grandfather." ”
Mu Jianyu's expression was ugly, and his dark face was solemn.
When the people at the door saw Mu Yunlan, they immediately became excited.
"It's her, it's her ruthlessness, careless of human life, and forcing Qian San and Zhou Qi to death!"
"Mu Yunlan, you are so vicious."
Many people around didn't know what was going on, but when they saw the two people who died at the gate, they instinctively speculated from their own perspective and pointed at Mu Yunlan.
"I really can't see that at such a young age, he is so vicious, forcing people to death."
"Gaomen Mansion, there are a lot of twists and turns inside, don't look at your young age, there are many means."
"The human heart is not ancient, this has grown up and paid it back, and it is said that she is still the future third princess......"
Mu Jianyu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "You didn't say that you would wait for Yun Lan to come before telling the truth, but now that she is here, you can say it." ”
A man who looked like a scholar walked out of the crowd, he seemed to know the identity of the eldest prince and the third prince, first bowed deeply to them, and then said:
"Lord Wei Guogong, it's not that we are making trouble, but the fourth lady of your mansion is really too much. Look behind me, these people are the people, but they are not ordinary people, their relatives are the old troops of the original General Fuyuan, who followed the general to fight on the battlefield, sacrificed their lives for the Dayong Kingdom, and made great contributions! ”
The scholar looked excited, and after a slight pause, he continued: "The soldiers died in a hundred battles, and buried their bones to sacrifice their loyal souls. They died on the front line, they should treat their families well, General Fuyuan was kind-hearted, and provided them with a job so that they could earn money to make ends meet, but what about the fourth lady, she dismissed everyone indiscriminately, how should they live in the future? ”
"My poor son, why did you go so early," an old woman sat on the ground, crying heartbreakingly, "You went to the battlefield at the age of eighteen, saying that you wanted to serve the country and guard the peace of the border, you said that you could come back in five years, but unfortunately, as soon as you left, you let the white-haired man send the black-haired man for his mother, God, the old woman has lived enough, you let me die, and replace my son ......"
She was full of white hair, her expression was desolate, and her crying was sad, which made many people around her shed tears.
"It's so pathetic......"
"Yes, how can an old lady live without a job, it's too much."
The scholar stepped forward to support the old woman: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, Lord Wei Guo will definitely administer justice to you today." You have also seen the two nobles, the Lord of the Kingdom. If even the families of the dead soldiers are treated harshly, won't that make them shed blood and tears?! How sad, how sad! ”
"yes, how can you be so ruthless!"
"Mu Yunlan apologizes!"
"That's right, let Mu Yunlan admit his mistake! Arrest her and go to the official to punish the crime! ”
The people were filled with righteous indignation, their faces were flushed with anger, and they shouted loudly to make Mu Yunlan apologize and let the government arrest her for punishment.
The scholar turned around and motioned for them to be quiet: "Lord Guogong, you have also seen that Qian San and Zhou Qi have been forced to die, do you want to wait for these people to die on the stone lion in front of the Guogong Mansion, and you won't cover Mu Yunlan?" You are the emperor personally awarded the title of the Duke of Weiguo, for my Dayong Dynasty has made great contributions, we all admire you very much, please preside over justice for us, righteousness to destroy relatives! ”
"Yes, righteous annihilation! Righteous annihilation! The people followed suit.
Mu Jianyu gritted his teeth and wrinkled his eyebrows heavily, now that the situation is difficult to ride a tiger, he said a little wrong, for fear that it would arouse public resentment: "Calm down, everyone, ......"
Mu Yunlan stepped forward and stood at the front of the mansion gate past him, her figure was straight, neither humble nor arrogant, without the slightest panic: "I am Mu Yunlan." ”
"Vicious!"
"It's good-looking, but why is the heart so dark."
"Apologies! Die! ”
Mu Yunlan sneered: "Apologize? What could I be wrong? ”
The scholar's face was full of anger: "It's really stubborn, don't you see, have two people been forced to death by you?" ”
"Am I dying?" Mu Yunlan's eyes were full of mockery, her expression was fierce, and she asked in a cold voice, "Do you know my identity?" ”
"I know, you are the fourth lady of the Mu family's third room!" The scholar's face was full of justice, "But so what? The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, can you still be greater than the king's law? ”
"Keep talking about the royal law, it seems that you understand the laws of the Dayong Kingdom, I am not only the fourth lady of the Mu family, I am also the future third princess, do you know that framing the future princess is to be beheaded to show the public!"
The scholar laughed: "You think this can scare me? Since I dare to come to hold grievances for them, I have put life and death on the line, and today, even if I fight for my life, I will reveal your true colors. ”
Yue Xiaohan on the side looked cold, looked at Mu Yunlan deeply, thinking of what Mu Qingyao had said to her before, could it be that Mu Yunlan had been pretending before, but in essence, she was a person with no respect and no conscience?
Mu Yunlan coldly hooked the corners of her lips, and the momentum around her body was as sharp as a knife: "Okay, then I will fulfill you, and by the way, let you die to understand!" ”
