Chapter 122: The Lord Tells the Slave Again?
With Princess Nishang here, Lu Zheng didn't have to think about any human decency, and asked the person to explain in detail with a serious face.
Chang'anbo's mansion is actually the eldest lord of the concubine, or in other words, the eldest son of Chang'an Bo is actually a concubine.
The amount of information contained here is too great to be explained in a few words, but it is foreseeable that it will not be a glorious thing.
This mother-in-law's surname is Song, and she looked excited and panicked at this time, and her words were not very clear, and everyone even listened and guessed.
The master of Song Pozi, Liu, married the son of Chang'an, entered the government for six years, and has a son and a daughter.
But Uncle Chang doesn't attach much importance to his own sons and grandsons, but he is quite close to his uncle and his heirs on weekdays. The root cause of this is probably traced back to the fact that Uncle Chang'an was reprimanded by Emperor Jingwen after his concubine killed his wife, Mrs. Chang'an Bo died early, and Uncle Chang'an never married, outsiders thought it was his long-term affection, but when Uncle Chang'an wanted to ask for the eldest son of the concubine, everyone knew that Uncle Chang'an had always liked his concubine, that is, the biological mother of the current uncle, Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu is the daughter of Chang'anbo's nurse, and the two have been in love since childhood.
Chang'anbo's wife Wu is the daughter of the brother who was born and died in the old Chang'anbo, and the two families are world friends, but this did not make Chang'anbo take care of Wu's more, but because of this, he became more and more dislike Wu's.
The Liu family was chosen by Mrs. Uncle for the son of Chang'an when he was alive.
From Mrs. Song's words, there was a sense of hatred and fear, and even in her eyes, she was the murderer who killed her master.
Before Mrs. Song's words were finished, someone from Chang'an Bofu came.
"Your Excellency!" The officials came to report.
"Someone from Chang'anbo Mansion said that this Song woman plotted to kill her master's life and stole the property in the mansion, and she was a fugitive slave."
Shao Zhiqiu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, which fugitive slave dared to escape to the yamen? Even if you can think of this reason, it is no wonder that Chang'an Bofu is declining.
"Oh?" Lu Zheng also muttered in his heart, now these families are not even willing to do beautiful work on the surface! He doesn't know how much he has seen in the family, this Song mother-in-law may not be as loyal to the Lord as she herself said, but if it is really she who murdered the life of the master's family, but she still dares to come to sue the official, it will never be a simple murder for money, and it is necessary to spend money for money, and what she wants to do such a thing must be a big thing.
The excuse of Chang'anbo Mansion doesn't make sense.
"How was your wife killed? Where does the corpse rest now? ”
"Back to my lord, the villain doesn't know how my wife died! The people in Chang'an Bofu said that my wife was suffering from a sudden illness, but my wife has always been healthy, and she has not been affected even after giving birth to her brother and sister! The villain has not seen the body of the lady yet! ”
Shao Zhiqiu and the others were stunned when they heard this.
"You didn't even see the body of your wife, so you dared to report to the official, do you know that if you weren't murdered, you would have to suffer a lawsuit!" Lu Zheng said angrily.
"The villain did things for the master outside the house the day before yesterday, and the matter was not done and did not return to the house, because there was a delay, he did not return to the house at night, and rested in the villain's son's residence for a day, and went to do things early yesterday morning, but when I went back to my son, I saw a few Fuzhong nursing homes on the surface smiling and inviting my children and grandchildren to the carriage, but behind the scenes, they looked vicious and searched everywhere, and the villain had to hide in a panic, and wanted to sneak back to the Bofu to find out, but the house was heavily guarded, and there were people everywhere to inquire about my whereabouts! Immediately after that, the news came that my wife was suddenly ill, and the villain hid outside all night, but after thinking about it, he felt that my wife would never go away from a sudden illness, not to say that my wife was in good health, but only that if they had no ghosts in their hearts, why did they arrest me everywhere? I clearly know that Mrs. has a deep affection for me, and if I know that Mrs. is gone, I will never give up! The villain is incompetent, so he can only beg the lord to make the decision for my wife! Mrs. Song sobbed.
"How do you explain the fugitive?"
"The villain has his own way to prove his innocence, and he also asked the eldest master to call the people from Chang'anbo Mansion to the front of the hall! The villain is willing to confront him in court! ”
Although the mother-in-law looked sad after her words, she was clearly organized.
"Go and bring in the people from Chang'anbo Mansion." Lu Zheng naturally didn't just listen to this woman's words.
The one who came from Chang'anbo's Mansion was the chief steward of the outer courtyard, and when he saw Mrs. Song kneeling in front of the hall, her expression was very unnatural.
"Who's in the hall?"
"Back to the adult, the little one is the chief steward of the Chang'an Bo Mansion, because he heard the report of the fugitive slave Song is in the yamen, and he has come to receive people!"
"Oh? What evidence do you have that she is a fugitive? ”
"This thief and slave saw the wealth, killed the second lady of my family, and then took the property and lied that she went out of the house to do business, and the house sent people everywhere to arrest her!"
The arrest is right, but the reasons for this are different.
"Your second lady was murdered by her subordinates, but why didn't she report it to the official?"
Lu Zheng asked in a slightly gloomy voice.
The steward's face tightened, and he quickly explained.
"Originally, I wanted to catch this mother-in-law and ask about the situation and then send the person to the government, but I didn't expect it...
"I'm afraid I just want to take my wife's corpse to avenge myself and commit suicide!" Mrs. Song looked at the steward and said angrily.
She knew all about the methods in the mansion.
"Didn't you say you're going to confront you in court?" Lu Zheng looked at Mrs. Song.
"He's just a subordinate of Bofu, and the villain is suing the master of Bofu, and he's not worthy of it!"
Shao Zhiqiu didn't see that this Song woman still had such backbone, you must know that the slave sued the master, no matter what the result was, he would have to suffer some hardships. So she whispered a few words in Princess Nishang's ear, and Princess Nishang's eyes lit up and she nodded again and again.
"That's it! Since both of them are the plaintiffs, they went to Chang'anbo's Mansion to investigate, and finally saw the corpse first. Princess Ni Shang said loudly.
Lu Zheng is used to the impromptu idea of Princess Ni Shang, and it is not wrong to go to check the body at this time, but...
"Her Royal Highness the princess wants to go in person?"
"It's not just me. And you and the two of them went with you. Pointing to the Song Pozi and the chief steward kneeling in the hall, Princess Nishang ordered.
"Princess, princess?" The people in Beijing had already heard about Princess Nishang's affairs in Shuntian Mansion, but the chief steward didn't expect that the princess would listen to the case in front of the hall.
At this moment, his heart was slightly cold, the matter of escaping slaves was an excuse he thought of temporarily after finding out that this Song mother-in-law had entered the Shuntian Mansion, although the master of the family had long planned to let this dead mother-in-law bear the blame, but after all, he didn't think that he would see the official at this time, although he had sent someone back to the house to report, but he didn't know if the house could deal with it.
If there is only Shuntian Mansion Yin, it would be better, and with Chang Anbo maneuvering around, it may not be impossible to fool the past, but this neon princess...
The more the steward thought about it, the more worried he became, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down his forehead.
