One Hundred and Six: Tentacles
Su Qianyao's death cast a gray shadow over the originally festive Su Mansion.
Su Yao dropped four or five teacups in a row, and he didn't lose his breath yet.
Qin Manhuai woke up crying and fainted, after learning that her daughter had committed suicide, she wailed, and then never woke up again.
The weather in April has warmed, but everyone's hearts are cold.
In the imperial history, the daughter of the Cheng family was robbed on the day of marriage, and she was killed when she came back, and the daughter of the Ningguo Mansion was robbed, and the daughter-in-law committed suicide, which is a very serious matter.
People from Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department came overnight, saying that they would definitely catch this thief and give Su Sheng and his family an explanation.
It was supposed to be a candle in the cave room, but at this time, Sheng Changyu was extremely sad, and he kept standing by Su Qianyao's corpse, crying silently, and he was indifferent to whoever asked him to get up.
The county lord of Shuyang also woke up, but seeing her son like this, she couldn't say a word of sadness, and she couldn't even comfort her.
"Second brother-in-law." Qin Xunteng saw his niece commit suicide, and his heart was also sad, especially when he saw that one of his two sisters was crying, and the other fainted with tears in the corners of his eyes, and his heart ached, so he stood up and said to Su Yao, "Today's incident is not an accident, but someone deliberately did it!" ”
Su Yao relieved himself, looked at him and said, "Uncle, what do you say?" ”
Su Yunyao raised her head and paid attention to the conversation between her father and uncle.
"Thieves robbed people on the main street of Dijing in broad daylight, this is something that has never happened before, and after robbing people, one didn't ask for money, and the other didn't send a letter, as if he was only going to rob people, didn't the second brother-in-law think it was strange?"
Su Yao really thought about it seriously, and then raised his head, "You mean, someone deliberately kidnapped Qian'er in order to prevent her from marrying?" ”
Qin Xunteng nodded, "Not only that, but the bride was robbed on the big day, what a shame is this?" A group of ordinary people outside watched, one person's mouthful of saliva was enough to drown Qian Yao, and it was difficult to guarantee that the Sheng family would not withdraw from the marriage at that time. ”
That's right, that's what the thief went with in mind.
Lord Yin of Jingzhao Mansion stepped forward, and said to Ning Guogong and Su Yao, "I checked the thieves who robbed people this time, they are all snake heads on the mountains near Xunjing, they are not in the mountains on weekdays, they only disguise themselves as ordinary people, and rarely gather in the mountains, every time the imperial court sends people to suppress bandits, there is nothing to gain, no wonder they are so rampant." ”
Qin Xunteng said, "That's what it means, they weren't in the mountains in the past, and the bandits naturally didn't gain anything, and the officers and soldiers couldn't just arrest the people, so the second brother-in-law, they were cautious to this point, how could they take the risk of catching a bride when they were full?" It doesn't make sense! ”
Su Yao sat down calmly, looked at the corpse of the fifth daughter in the distance, and was heartbroken, and said in a choked voice, "Who is the one who has to force my Qian'er to death!" ”
"It's Cao! She's the hired murderer! Su Yunyao stood up, her fists clenched tightly, and her eyes were red and swollen. At this time, she has no reason at all, and she can't care about her father's favor for the Cao family in the past, she killed her sister with a trick, who can bear it?
Su Yao glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”
Now the people in this courtyard are not only their Su family, but also the Sheng family and the Cheng family, and the Yin family of Jingzhao Mansion is also there, as well as a few officers and soldiers.
Su Yunyao's words were going to push the Su family to the forefront.
"Daughter is not talking nonsense!" Su Yunyao didn't care about the soreness in her eyes, and stared at Su Yao without blinking.
Cao Qianlian saw that Su Yunyao had brought the conversation to herself again, and couldn't sit still, so she immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "How could I be like that?" You are all dignitaries, you are here to judge, why am I doing this? Yun Yao, I know that you are a concubine, and you have always looked down on me and my children, but how do you treat you in all fairness? Even if you don't see me again, you don't need to pin this deadly disaster on me! ”
Hearing Cao Qianlian's words, Su Yunyao couldn't hold back any longer, took two steps forward and raised her hand, and was about to hit Cao Qianlian's face.
The sudden appearance of the figure stopped her hand, and she looked up and found that it was Su Yao.
"What do you do! Qian'er is dead, don't you think this family is messy enough? ”
Qin Xunteng looked at Su Yao coldly, he already understood in his heart that eight or nine was not far from ten.
Su Yunyao sneered: "Father suspects his daughter of planting a false accusation? Good... Good! Lisheng, bring people up! ”
When Lisheng heard this, he took two servants to escort Cao Qianlian's maid Du Juan up.
"Lady! Lady Eleven Girl wants to kill the slave maid, Lady! Lady save me! The cuckoo opened his mouth and was wronged, which attracted everyone's attention.
"What are you doing here?" Su Yao looked at Su Yunyao puzzled, "You inexplicably said that the Cao family hired a murderer and brought her maid, what are you going to do?" Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, and get out of here! ”
When he saw the cuckoo being escorted up, Cao's face turned white for a moment.
"Eleven girls have always bullied us, but I didn't expect today's incident to be detained on me for the sake of anger, lord! Ladies and gentlemen! I asked myself why she had to stab me with my kindness if she hadn't done anything bad! If that's the case, then I'll die, so that she can get her wish! ”
"Stop making trouble!" Su Yao shook her off fiercely.
Su Yunyao supported her body, and Song Yin supported her hard behind her, otherwise she was really afraid that she would fall.
Lord Fu Yin and those officers and soldiers can't intervene, this is their Su family's business after all.
"Father, today I felt strange when I heard that the fifth sister was robbed, so I sent Lisheng to guard the corners of the door with the little servant, but my daughter never expected that the guess would come true, and she was really caught!" Su Yunyao pointed to the cuckoo, "She went to the corner gate alone, and when she saw that no one was guarding her, she handed out a note, and then Lisheng appeared outside, and the person who received the note hurriedly fled, she kept saying that she was helping to find someone in the house, why did the person outside run away?" ”
Su Yao frowned and looked at the cuckoo, and then kicked her down fiercely.
"You slave! Explain it to me! ”
"The Lord... The Lord... The slave really wants to share the worries of the house! The slave maid has brothers in the family, so the slave maid asked them to find someone, the slave maid is for the good of our Su family! ”
"But you have never been out, how did your brother know that you were looking for them? And why did they flee when they saw the people in our house? I see that you obviously hired those snakeheads with your master outside, and when you see that the matter has been completed, send the news! ”
"Eleven girls don't talk nonsense!" Cao Qianlian knelt and rubbed over, rubbed in front of Su Yunyao, and kowtowed several times, "It's my fault, it's me who gets in the way of the girl's eyes on weekdays, and the girl wants to get rid of me, I have nothing to say!" But Cuckoo, she has been with me for many years, she is innocent! Don't get into her way, girl! ”
Qin Manliu saw how disgusting the Cao family was on the side, and couldn't bear it, so he rushed over and ripped her away, "You keep me away from Yun Yao!" Disturb the kind thing! ”
Cao Qianlian was torn down and cried silently, which made those who saw it inevitably feel distressed.
The county lord of Shuyang frowned, and said in an unkind tone, "I heard Yu'er and Zhi'er say that a pair of daughters of your Cao family have seduced Yu'er a lot, what are you pretending to be pitiful here now?" And the last time I was in Yingqiu Lake, wasn't it also your handiwork? It's not just your girl who suspects, but even I suspect it! ”
"Don't don't, in-laws, there must be a misunderstanding here." Su Yao said softly.
He can teach his own daughter, can he still teach this county lord?
The county lord of Shuyang snorted coldly: "Qianyao, this girl is the daughter-in-law I recognize!" If I had any dissatisfaction with her before, then today I have completely determined that she is my daughter-in-law! It's a shame that she would rather commit suicide in order to protect her reputation, but her family, as her father, why should you favor your concubine? Were you like that in the old days? ”
"That's... How is that possible. Su Yao was a little weak when asked by this.
"I won't leave this matter alone until it's settled." Ning Guogong walked over with a cold face: "It's also troublesome for Lord Yin to take this master and servant back for a good trial." ”
Lord Fu Yin hurriedly raised his hand and said, "No trouble, no trouble, Xia Guan will do his best to seek justice for his father-in-law's daughter-in-law!" ”
Seeing that Ning Guogong and Shuyang County mainly arrested themselves and took them to Jingzhao Mansion, Cao Qianlian realized that the matter was big at this time.
Obviously, no one will suspect her!
She did nothing leaky about this, why did Su Yunyao's dead girl send someone to guard the corner gate? If you don't catch the cuckoo, even if you are suspicious, you can't grasp her handle, and you can't hold her evidence.
But if you really get to Jingzhao Mansion... Cao Qianlian sighed in his heart. It wasn't as easy to deal with as it was in front of Su Yao, but it wasn't the place for her to believe her when she cried.
So she gritted her teeth, got up from the ground, and shouted, "Since they all want to detain the charges on me, then I will use a death to prove my innocence!" ”
After speaking, before everyone could stop him, Cao Qianlian ran two steps quickly and slammed his head on the pillar under the corridor.
Su Yuyao heard that someone was embarrassing her mother in the yard, so she just came here and hugged the Cao family with Su Huiyao.
She was really ruthless this time, and she fainted directly, and the wound on her head was terrifying, and the blood was not stopping.
"Mother! Mother, why are you so stupid! Su Huiyao cried, "Su Yunyao, it's all you slut!" Why don't you look down on my mother so much! ”
Su Yunyao said lightly, "Not only do I look down on her, but I want her to pay for my sister's life!" ”
"You!" Su Huiyao looked at her, in her impression, her eleventh sister had never looked at her with such eyes, and for a while, somehow, it made her feel a little empty-hearted.
Qin Manliu frowned and said, "It's really a good means, no wonder my brother-in-law has been conniving at her all these years!" ”
Su Yao is dying of his daughter again, and his beloved touches the pillar to prove his innocence, and this is the time to be upset.
"Lord Fu Yin, the Cao family is my concubine, I dare to guarantee that she has nothing to do with this matter, not to mention that she has been seriously injured, it is better for you to take the maid back."
