Chapter 252: Exculpation
"Drowned?" Leng Nanxian raised his eyebrows in surprise.
An Sheng said "um": "Does Master also think it's too much of a coincidence?" I also suspect that that mother-in-law did not stumble at all, but was killed by the Xue family. However, I didn't have any credentials, and the matter had to be settled. Now, only the Xue family and others know about my aunt's death, I don't know, how to pry open Xue's mouth? ”
Leng Nanxian pursed her lips: "So, yesterday in the lobby, although you had doubts early in the morning, you still resolutely pointed out against Xia Ziwu and wanted to take revenge on your aunt, right?" ”
An Sheng bit his lower lip lightly and snorted: "I also hesitated for a moment, but I know that this opportunity is too rare, if it is lost, there will be no more in the future." ”
Leng Nanxian closed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then shook his head solemnly: "It's really not easy to make Xia Ziwu fall into the law in this matter. The evidence of her guilt is nothing more than a handkerchief, and that handkerchief does not stand up to scrutiny at all. ”
"Yes," An Sheng casually stirred the handkerchief in her hand, which turned into the shape of a little mouse in her hand, with ears and tail: "Changjing said that she was going to personally testify against Xia Ziwu tomorrow, and I was desperate, and I felt very uncomfortable in my heart." Changjing is very pitiful, then Xue Xiuliang deserves it, why should he pay for his life? ”
Leng Nanxian's brows became tighter and tighter: "Giving perjury to accuse Xia Ziwu is now the next step, and the Xue family will definitely find a witness to testify for Xia Ziwu." Now there is another way to save Changjing from the death penalty. ”
"What's the solution?" An Sheng suddenly rose with hope.
"Xue Xiuliang has a bad record, and he has done a lot of injustice with a group of prodigal children in the market, violating laws and disciplines, and harming the people. If you can collect more evidence of his guilt and prove that he is innocent of death, then, according to my Chang'an law, I can barely exonerate Changjing. Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped, and I am afraid that they will be exiled or sold themselves. ”
"That's not afraid, Changjing was originally a servant, if she can escape from the Xia family and start over, for her, it will not be a rebirth. It's just that I don't know that Xue Xiuliang usually just does some tricks, kidnapping, and stealing, which should not be considered innocent. ”
"As long as you ask Guan Hetian about these things, you will know that you are not far from ten. Who knows if he did anything bad behind his back? ”
An Sheng nodded and immediately stood up: "Without further ado, then I'll go right now." ”
Leng Nanxian also stood up: "Seeing that you are in a hurry, you must not come forward in this matter." ”
"Why?"
"This matter can't be an excuse for Changjing, then the Xue family will do everything possible to stop you, and you must rush before Changjing's crime is confirmed, under other banners."
With a little stroke, An Sheng immediately understood: "Indeed, the Xue family treats Xue Xiuliang as his own, how can he easily forgive others?" ”
Leng Nanxian smiled slightly, directly grabbed An Sheng's hand, and wrote down two words in her palm.
An Sheng only felt that the palms of his hands were itchy, and it was also itchy when it went directly into his heart. As for what Leng Nanxian wrote in the palm of her hand, she was so ignorant that she didn't take it to heart at all.
She blushed and nodded excitedly, "I see, Master." ”
He turned around and ran out of the house.
"Remember to let Leng Bo send you."
"Got it!"
An Sheng raised his voice happily, jumped all the way, got out of the medicine house, and went directly to find Guan Hetian.
In the Xia Mansion, Xia Yuanwai and Xue's have returned, Xue's has been crying and crying, and Xia Yuanwai is anxious.
All the people in the house were angry and didn't dare to take a breath, trembling.
As soon as An Sheng returned home, people immediately came to pay his respects.
Xia Yuanwai sighed and reprimanded Xue: "What's the use of crying? If it weren't for you and Ziwu having thoughts of harming Ansheng, and proving that Na Buzi was Ansheng, would there still be the current thing? ”
Xue's eyes were red and swollen from crying, like two bells. She blew her nose fiercely: "Then my nephew died tragically, can I, who is an aunt, not feel distressed?" Whoever it is, you must avenge him. ”
"It is natural for Xue Xiuliang to be born together, and if you are your own daughter, you will have to die or live, don't you feel distressed?"
Xue Shi cried louder and louder: "But Ziwu, she is wronged, how could she kill Xiuliang!" ”
Xia Yuanwai snorted coldly: "Xue Xiuliang, an unsuccessful thing, provokes trouble every day, and sooner or later there will be retribution, how many times have I told you a long time ago, but you just didn't listen." ”
"Everyone else is dead, and you still curse him? My daughter is still suffering in prison now, so if you don't feel distressed, you just don't feel sorry, and you still talk about cool things. How much of a squire do you have? Look at what kind of treatment is it for Xia An to give birth to a little girl, living in prison? Brocade clothes and jade food, eat fragrant and drink spicy. Look at you, I want to take a look at Ziwu, but I can't, I'm simply wronged. ”
Xia Yuanwai scolded angrily: "You still have the face to blame me? If it weren't for you who made Yu Shizi angry, then the people in Jingzhao Yin's yamen could be so arrogant about you? ”
Xue sobbed and cried: "How is that good?" My poor son, is that prison a place for men? I shuddered when I thought about the miserable appearance of Xue Zhao when he came out of prison, and my heart felt like being cut by a knife. ”
Xia Yuanwai sighed: "I'll just fight my old face and beg for Ansheng that girl, see if she can read for the sake of sisters, accommodating." ”
Xue whispered, "Can she?" It's good not to fall into the ground. ”
"Can that be the sin that you two have done, no wonder people live in peace."
Xue no longer refutes.
Xia Yuanwai himself has no face to ask for An Sheng, how Xue's mother and daughter treat An Sheng unrelentingly, he saw it with his own eyes, and now he is shy to ask An Sheng to take care of him, and he can't open his mouth.
But the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and Xia Yuanwai is distressed, especially when Xue Shi cried twice and three times, he really can't look at it and ignore it.
An Sheng was thinking of an excuse how to find Xia Yuanwai, and Xia Yuanwai came by himself.
The Dragon Boat Festival served tea and quietly withdrew.
Xia Yuanwai thought of many words, but when he saw An Sheng, he died down, and he didn't know how to speak.
An Sheng took the lead and said: "Father looks a lot haggard, you have to pay attention to take care of your body." ”
This sentence opened the chatter box outside Xia Yuan.
"You and Ziwu are both father's daughters, no matter who you have an accident, your father is not comfortable, can this feel good?"
An Sheng was silent for a moment.
Xia Yuanwai continued: "Ziwu, this kid is not as sensible as you, and he doesn't have one-tenth of you. But now she is suffering in prison, life and death are not guaranteed, and her father is also full of anxiety and empathy. ”
An Sheng still didn't speak, full of reluctance.
Xia Yuanwai could only muster up the courage in the end and asked An Sheng: "You say, is this poisoning of Xue Xiuliang really Ziwu?" ”
An Sheng said vaguely: "This daughter can't say it well, it depends on how the yamen is sentenced." ”
"There are too many methods of torture in the yamen, even if it is not made of purple turnip, the purple turnip skin is delicate and tender, and it has not suffered a little, so I can't bear it for a while, maybe I will admit it."
An Sheng nodded: "If I am punished, I will confess against my will." Those torture instruments look too infiltrating, listening to the screams in the prison, it is really worse than death. ”
These words made Xia Yuanwai even more worried: "It's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other?" Unexpectedly, your own sisters turned against Bo Gongtang. ”
An Sheng snorted coldly: "It's the mother and Ziwu who hold on tightly, and they have to be investigated, the daughter can't do that righteousness, and she will take the black pot for the person who wronged her and lose her head." ”
"A thousand mistakes, it's all your mother's fault, she was angry for a while and lost her mind." Xia Yuanwai said hatefully: "You must not take it to heart. ”
An Sheng blinked: "Now that good and evil have been rewarded, my daughter will not care." ”
Speaking of which, Xia Yuanwai has been detouring, and he feels that he can't open this mouth. But he was distressed, so he could only grit his teeth and beg in a low voice: "Ansheng, you are also brothers and sisters, and no matter how grudges you have, you are also sisters." Now that Ziwu is guilty, my father thinks, you must be unbearable, right? ”
An Sheng was silent, noncommittal.
"Father doesn't mean anything else, and he doesn't want to wronged you. Father just thought, can you tell the people in Jingzhao Yin to make your sister suffer a little less? She is still small, her body is tender, and she can't stand the torture instrument. ”
An Sheng looked at Xia Yuanwai and smiled slightly: "Father, yesterday your daughter was imprisoned, are you so anxious?" Have you ever gone to Jing Zhaoyin to take care of her daughter? ”
One sentence made Xia Yuan speechless.
"Father is naturally anxious, but you have so many people to protect you and run for you, but Ziwu only has her father and mother."
An Sheng sighed faintly: "Yes, so many outsiders know that they are worried about their daughter, and they wholeheartedly pursue the truth for their daughter." Even the Meng family was righteous and awe-inspiring, and asked Jingxian to run to apologize for her daughter's crimes. ”
In these words, there is sarcasm, and in and out of the words, the people who are close to each other are not as good as some outsiders. Especially Xue and Xia Ziwu are still watching the excitement and falling into the well. Xia Yuanwai was suddenly a little embarrassed.
The rest of the words, he couldn't say anything.
After being silent for a long time, he stood up: "It's Daddy's bastard, Daddy shouldn't open this mouth, I can't complain about you." ”
He turned around, his heart sour.
"Daddy!"
An Sheng suddenly called out to him.
He paused, didn't look back, and waved his hand: "Father is ashamed of you, and he has no face to say anything." ”
"Daddy!" An Sheng stopped talking, and called again: "Actually, there is a better solution to this matter." ”
Xia Yuanwai suddenly turned his head: "What method?" ”
"On the way back, I heard a lot of people talking about it, saying that Xue Xiuliang had done a lot of evil in the market on weekdays, had done a lot of bad things, and was innocent of death. His death, in fact, whether it is his daughter or Ziwu Fufa, I believe that his father does not want to see it.
If he can collect evidence of his crimes and submit it to the yamen, the yamen will definitely give him a lighter sentence as appropriate. If the mother no longer pursues the matter, grasps the matter, hands in a document, and we can do activities again, this case can actually have a turnaround. ”
