Chapter 103: There is a ghost in my heart
The uncle, who is the prime minister, and the nephew, who is a guard lieutenant, actually argued fiercely in the mourning hall over whether his aunt's coffin should be opened.
Mo Aoqun insisted on opening the coffin ugly, Feng Wanquan insisted on refusing on the grounds that he had already desecrated his wife's bones, the two sides were at a stalemate for a long time, and Feng Wanli's persuasion after hearing the news was also fruitless. In the end, more and more guests came to pay their respects, gathered inside and outside the hall to watch, and from time to time they exchanged heads and pointed fingers.
"Okay, the two Feng lords insist on refusing to open the coffin, which can only prove that your Feng family has a ghost in their hearts! Even if I want to make trouble with the saint today, I will definitely seek justice for my aunt's sudden and mysterious death! ”
The more people watched, the more determined Mo Aoqun became, but he didn't say bluntly that Mo Yaqin was killed by the Feng family.
"Master Mo's words are wrong, my father and uncle have already said that my mother's body has been examined by Jing Zhaoyin himself, and the cause of death will be determined before she will be allowed to be buried." Without waiting for Feng Wanquan to speak, Feng Huanling had already taken over the conversation with a smile, "What's more, over the years, my father and mother have had a very good relationship, and I have only accepted two aunts so far, and the saddest thing about my mother's sudden death is my father, so why do I have a ghost in my heart?" Even if there is a 'ghost', it must be a 'ghost' who is not willing to give up his mother's lovesickness. ”
Even at Feng Wanquan's age, his face was slightly red after hearing Feng Huanling's words, but he quickly concealed the stiff expression on his face.
As for Mo Aoqun, when he heard this, he sneered, looked at the guests gathered outside the mourning hall and asked loudly, "Where is Jing Zhaoyin?" ”
The prime minister's wife is gone, and all the officials in the court and the central government are supposed to come and go once, but Jingzhao Yin Tengxiao dutifully personally brought the servants to inspect and stay, so as not to have to run a second trip to the funeral banquet. It's just that I didn't expect to meet the powerful Mo Weiwei, and now that he has been named in public, I can't help but feel a little bitter in my heart.
"The lower official is here."
Teng Xiao, who was in the crowd, couldn't pretend not to hear it after all, so he could only stubbornly cross the crowd and respectfully walk in front of a few adults who couldn't afford to offend anyone.
Everyone thought that Mo Aoqun must have called Jing Zhaoyin out to ask about the results of the autopsy, and he didn't want him to open his mouth and said: "This official doesn't believe the results of your private examination, and now he asks Lord Teng to open the coffin immediately and re-examine it!" ”
"This ......"
Teng Xiao secretly glanced at Prime Minister Feng's face with embarrassment, and then said to Mo Weiwei: "According to the routine, we always pay attention to the conclusion of the coffin, if Lord Mo doubts the integrity of the lower officials, please forgive the lower officials for not being able to do anything." ”
In fact, it is understandable that Mo Aoqun does not believe Jing Zhaoyin, because Teng Xiao is a cronie who Feng Wanquan pulled up with one hand, and this person is not as good as the Ma Dianke who simply relied on money to get to the top, he is a person who is quite scheming and has the ability to handle cases and is affirmed by Emperor Xuan. Therefore, he is fully capable of helping Prime Minister Feng fabricate the facts, and conceal the cause of the prime minister's wife's death from the prime minister seamlessly, and when he is buried in the coffin, he will have no chance to overturn the case completely.
"What a coffin! If there are no ghosts, why are you in such a hurry to cover the coffin? Can't even wait three days? This official today is questioning Lord Teng's ethics as Jing Zhaoyin, and he must open the coffin and inspect it personally! If Lord Teng insists on refusing to cooperate, he will blame the official for using some extraordinary means. ”
Mo Aoqun pointed the finger at Teng Xiao, which was deliberately avoiding the Feng family brothers whose official position was higher than his own, and wanted to use Jing Zhaoyin, who was convenient for this official position, to indirectly achieve his own goals.
Patronized and had an argument with the Feng brothers before, if it weren't for Feng Huanling's words, he couldn't remember that there was still Teng Xiao's "shortcut" to take.
"Jing Zhaoyin has always been fair, and the Holy Lord has praised it with a golden mouth, Lord Mo is so aggressive today, is he questioning the Holy Lord?" Feng Wanquan is not a person who will be easily handled, so he simply moved out of Emperor Xuan, "Yaqin is naturally the aunt of Master Mo, but she is also the wife that I am marrying and accompanying for more than 20 years. is the so-called water spilled by the daughter who got married, so she is already a member of my Feng family, and she will be buried in the ancestral grave of my Feng family after she dies, why should Lord Mo question the cause of death of my Feng family? Today is the day of my Feng family's funeral, if Lord Mo continues to make trouble like this, he will not blame the original minister for the eviction order! ”
No matter how irritable Mo Aoqun is, it is impossible to open the coffin in the Prime Minister's Mansion by force, so listening to Prime Minister Feng's words to this point, his face was blue and white for a while, and the blue tendons on his forehead were beating slightly.
The mourning hall, which had been noisy for a long time, suddenly fell into a strange silence, and even the whispering between onlookers stopped for the time being.
It wasn't until a domineering voice sounded from the courtyard that the silence was broken.
"The old godson has no way, and the dog can't accept the violent death of his aunt, which makes the prime minister embarrassed."
The old captain of the Three Dynasties, Mo Yuchi, appeared, and the people who were originally gathered at the door gave in one after another, naturally giving way to enter the mourning hall.
"Mrs. Mo came at the right time, and for the sudden death of the Dafang family, my Feng family is also sad. But the deceased is gone, no matter how reluctant she is, she will not be able to bring her back to life after all, although Mo Weiwei's mood can be understood, but his way of making trouble will inevitably make the deceased even more uneasy. ”
In the face of the junior Mo Aoqun before, the old lady couldn't talk too much about her identity after all, but now that she saw Mo Yuchi, she had to come forward in person to support the momentum of the Feng family.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is right, and the old man also thinks that the dog's move is very inappropriate."
Mo Yuchi was unexpectedly calm, and even a very shallow smile appeared on his face, which was a little pale by plain clothes.
However, as Her Royal Highness the princess said, the dog's mood, everyone present must be able to understand it a little bit. Although she is already a member of the Feng family, she is still surnamed Mo after all, if her funeral is normal, my Mo family will not have nothing to do to make Yaqin die in peace. However, there are too many anomalies in this funeral, so it is natural that Yi Aoqun's temper will be questioned. ”
After all, it was the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, and after Mrs. Mo said something, most of the onlookers couldn't help but nod their heads and say yes, Mo Weiwei's eyes suddenly became a little more proud, and the faces of the Feng family were a little unsightly.
The old lady and the Feng family brothers didn't speak for a while, but Feng Huanling and some newborn calves stood up at this moment without fear of tigers, "Lord Taiwei is a Venerable of Reason, and I don't think I will listen to persuasion with Lord Weiwei, who is too impulsive." The cause of her mother's death has been confirmed by Lord Kyung Zhao Yin Teng, and it was caused by the cold air that fell to the ground and the ice lake when she entered the palace on the fifteenth. It is reasonable that my mother was already frail, and it was reasonable that she could not endure the torture of cold in the end, and it was also my mother's own intention to cover the coffin too early, and I hope that Lord Taiwei will forgive me. ”
In terms of Mo Yuchi's status, he couldn't look at the concubine Feng Huanling, but he just wanted to scold "How can you talk here", but when he caught a glimpse of King Cheyue, who stood beside her at some point, he suppressed his temper and pressed down.
Seeing that the junior opened his mouth, Mo Aoqun also broke the silence in time and said: "Father Mingjian, if there is no ghost in the Feng family's heart, opening the coffin for my Mo family to take a last look at my aunt, why is it difficult to ask for peace of mind?" Even if my aunt is afraid of ugliness, is she still afraid that her mother's family will see it? They make such excuses to stop it, which only proves that they have a ghost in their hearts! ”
Seeing that the topic was being rounded up again, Feng Wanquan only felt a headache, "Judging from the original situation, Mo Weiwei is so obsessed with questioning the death of the cheap, it is inevitable that people will feel that they have ulterior motives, right?" ”
Mo Aoqun was about to speak again, but Mo Yuchi waved his hand to stop him: "It's not a way to argue like this, the saint has been entangled in official business recently, I'm afraid that I won't have time to appease Her Royal Highness the princess and the prime minister, and looking at the current form, it will be difficult for the two little lords in the palace to return home to visit." ”
When the Feng family heard this, they all changed color again, who couldn't understand the meaning of Mo Taiwei's words, it clearly meant that the Feng family is not as powerful as in the past, at least the two in the harem have fallen out of favor now, but it is his Mo family's daughter who is the most competitive, and she is still the fourth lady is a lady, not to mention that she is also pregnant with a dragon, and the concubine and even the queen's position are just around the corner.
However, Mo Yuchi didn't go into too much detail, and changed the topic immediately, but looked at Long Yucang and said: "At the moment, it seems that I can only bother the prince to be the master and help make a decision." ”
Even though King Cheyue is a well-known "virtuous king", his imperial uncle's prominent status is not false at all, and it is reasonable to be pushed out at such a moment. And the Feng family is not easy to refuse for Mrs. Mo to let his son-in-law come forward, at least on the surface, it will even make people feel that they have taken a big advantage.
Suddenly, all eyes fell on Long Yucang, but he still had an indifferent and distant attitude, "Taiwei Mo can't help but look up to this king too much, if you judge the case, this king can't compare to Lord Jingzhao Yin Teng, if you can't compare to Lord Prime Minister Feng in terms of means, and even more so than Master Taiwei Mo in terms of knowledge." What is the truth about the cause of his mother-in-law's death, this king has no way of knowing, but this king is willing to believe in his father-in-law and Teng. ”
Long Yucang was a little too twisted to tell the truth, in fact, what he said was equivalent to not saying it, it seemed to protect the Feng family, but in fact, he didn't explicitly refuse Mrs. Mo, and Feng Huanling almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard it, but she still couldn't hold back after all.
"Then according to the prince's meaning, should this coffin be opened or not?" Mo Aoqun had a headache when he heard this, and his eyebrows were knotted, "The prince also said that he had never seen a corpse, so it was difficult to know the truth about the cause of death, so the only way for the Feng family to prove that they had a clear conscience at the moment was to open the coffin for verification." My Mo family will naturally respect my aunt's last wishes, and will never let an outsider see it after the coffin is opened, and I hope that the prince will be gracious and fulfill the last filial piety of the younger generation. ”
The second half of Lord Guozhang's words can be described as sincere, and Long Yucang, who is usually expressionless, showed a little emotion on his peerless immortal face, which made everyone in the Feng family very frightened.
"This ...... What does the lady think is good? ”
Everyone was waiting for Long Yucang to speak, who would have thought that the dignified prince would ask the princess in public, and immediately stunned the visitors.
