Chapter 80: Case Closed
In the blink of an eye, at the end of November, there was finally news from the Yamen.
It is also strange to say, except for Xie Wanqing's time, there have never been any bandits on the way to Hanshan Temple in the capital, and for so many years, the good men and women who went to Shangxiang have never encountered such a thing.
The bandits who were caught committed suicide by poisoning, and those who escaped were like water entering the sea, and there was no trace. The general's palace sent the guards who captured the bandits at that time to assist the yamen in the capital and the surrounding areas to visit and investigate, but no one was found. It was as if those people had evaporated from the world.
Because it involved the young lady of the Marquis of Anyang and the security in the suburbs of Beijing, Yamen was strictly ordered by his boss to solve the case as soon as possible, but the hair of the official was about to fall out. Seeing that it is almost a year old, those people can't be caught, and besides, how do you look at this matter, how is it wrong. A discerning person knows at a glance that this is not an ordinary thief robbing money, but I am afraid that it is involved in a dispute within the Hou Mansion.
Therefore, the government only said that the bandits had been punished and the case was closed in a hurry.
I sent someone to report to the Hou Mansion of Anyang.
When Xie Kai first heard the news, he also scolded the government for not being attentive, saying that he wanted to go to the saint to visit the official. The old lady sent someone to hold him down and persuaded him a few words before letting him go back.
Xie Kai didn't know about the backyard, but the old lady did. Nine times out of ten, Xie Wanqing's attack on the outskirts of Beijing was done by people in her own mansion, but the people she was looking for were secretive and clean, and even the government couldn't find anyone. Even if she knew it, she couldn't help it, she couldn't convict people with empty teeth.
As for what happens in the future, it depends on whether Xie Wanqing has the ability to do so, it is not enough to be able to get out of every frame-up intact, but also to be able to fight back.
It's just that now that Dufa is gone, Xie Wanqing has one less bargaining chip, and she doesn't know how she will go the rest of the way.
In the next two days, the affairs of the Kongdao people were also settled.
Originally, the Kongkongdao people also relied on in the capital, and he had met many dignitaries in the capital over the years. But on the contrary, he offended the Marquis of Anyang this time, and another national teacher sent a handwritten letter to the yamen. touched the mold of two people in a row, and those high-ranking officials and nobles already had the heart to make friends with the law, so none of them helped him intercede.
The official is also a person who praises the high and the low, and now seeing him like this, thinking about the previous case and closing it in a hurry, the person who reported the news came back Xie Kai had a black face, and it was time to curry favor with the Marquis of Anyang.
So with a wave of his hand, he locked him up in a cell for two months, and then seized his house and belongings and confiscated them. The angry empty air dao vomited blood in his mouth, he had worked hard in the capital for so many years, and he fell back to the same place in the blink of an eye, as if he was in a dream, but he didn't want to wake up.
As for the little guy, he was sent to the frontier to do hard labor on the grounds of slandering his master and confusing the people with fallacies.
When the family heard this, their liver and intestines were broken, and their tear-soaked clothes were not mentioned.
For this punishment, the entire Anyang Hou Mansion was quite satisfied.
It's just that Aunt Fang and Xie Wanyun were not implicated, which is the only dissatisfaction of Xie Wanqing.
The news from the yamen said that the empty man couldn't stand the punishment and confessed, and it was indeed someone who paid him to deliberately go to the Anyang Hou Mansion to make trouble, just to discredit Xie Wanqing. As for who the person who bought him was, he could no longer be interrogated. Because the Kongdao people had never seen the appearance of that person from beginning to end.
The little guy clenched his mouth and only took everything on himself. But he is just an ordinary minion, and he has no grievances with Xie Wanqing, why do you bother to harm her so hard? No one will believe this when it comes to anyone, and there is no one behind him. But no matter what kind of punishment was used, he didn't say anything, and the yamen had no choice but to hastily settle the case.
Therefore, in these two things, except for the grounding punishment given by the old lady, Xie Wanyun and Aunt Fang have not been punished at all.
In the blink of an eye, it has reached the end of December, which is almost the end of the year.
The whole capital was shrouded in a festive atmosphere, and the big red lanterns were hung in the mansion of the Marquis of Anyang, and the old lady asked someone to cut new clothes for the children, and gave the gentlemen an early holiday.
Therefore, Xie Wanqing was able to be idle, and in the past month or so, she has studied hard and practiced hard, and has won a lot of praise from her husband. And Xie Wanyun can't go to class every day because of the grounding, but she is a person who never relaxes, and every day she called the maid to ask her what homework she was talking about and what homework she assigned, she wrote it, and she would let the maid send it over early on the second day.
It snowed heavily today, and it fell one after another, and soon turned the Anyang Hou Mansion into a piece of silver.
Xie Wanqing pinched her shoulders while talking with the old lady, her hands were small, but the old lady was old and couldn't stand too much strength, so she pinched it just right.
While the two were talking, Xie Kai and Ye came in.
"Father, mother." Xie Wanqing saluted the two.
"Wanqing is also here." Xie Kai seemed a little surprised to see him.
The old lady glanced at him: "Of course Wanqing is here, in the entire Anyang Hou Mansion, who doesn't know that she is filial." I will come to talk to my wife and me every day, which is like you, one by one, my busy feet do not touch the ground. ”
"The mother forgives, but the court affairs are complicated, and the son knows that he is not filial piety, and he hopes that his mother will forgive his sins." Xie Kai hurriedly apologized when he heard this, it was snowing heavily today, and the saint gave them a day off, so he had to come to ask for peace, he usually went to the court early, and there were really not many times to see the old lady.
The old lady didn't mean to say anything to him, but just said it casually, and besides, the Ye family didn't speak, where was Xie Kai's turn to ask for guilt.
It is understandable that Xie Kai is busy with official business, but the Ye family stays in the Anyang Hou Mansion all day without leaving the gate, and there are not many days to come to greet her, which makes the old lady not very happy.
According to the rules, the children and grandchildren are to greet the old lady every day, but she ordered that she should come to see her twice on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month, and when she came at other times, except for Xie Huaiying, she was upset when she saw the others. It's better not to see it.
But now that the Ye family only has one son under his knees, and he has a weak relationship with Xie Kai, and he can't interfere in the affairs of the Hou Mansion, the old lady sees that she is not good anywhere, and speaks to her with thorns.
Ye knew the old lady's temper, and she also knew that the other party didn't really want to see her, so she didn't confess and said that she would come to ask for peace more in the future, and she wouldn't be pleasing anyway. He just stood quietly aside, as if he did not exist.
Xie Wanqing saw that the atmosphere was about to stiffen, and said with a smile: "Father, grandmother is joking with you." Where are you willing to say you sincerely, you are tired of running around for our Anyang Hou Mansion on weekdays, and my grandmother is proud of you in my heart. ”
When he said this, Xie Kai's face immediately showed joy.
The old lady glanced at Xie Wanqing, poked her finger on her forehead and scolded with a smile: "Just your little clever ghost will please people, look at how happy your father is now." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and glared at Xie Kai.
Xie Kai hurriedly straightened his expression and stopped talking.
"Grandmother," Xie Wanqing said coquettishly to her, "Wanqing is telling the truth." ”
The old lady nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, you are telling the truth." ”
Seeing the old lady's doting on Xie Wanqing, Xie Kai was relieved. He himself did not have many days to serve the old lady, so he had to rely on his children to fulfill his filial piety.
If you want to say that the old lady treats Xie Kai, it is not good to be strict since she was a child. Because he is a son-in-law, the old lady has always had strict requirements for Xie Kai's homework since he was born, and it can be said that she keeps an eye on him with a ruler all the time.
In the school, no gentleman dared to beat him with a ring ruler, but when he returned to the Hou Mansion of Anyang, once he was unqualified in random inspection, the old lady would raise the ring ruler.
Fortunately, Xie Kai is also smart, and coupled with the old lady's supervision, he has always been excellent in his studies. When he gradually grew into a teenager, he was born handsome again, and became the sweetheart of many girls for a while.
But also because of the old lady's urging, Xie Kai now only respects the old lady but does not kiss the situation.
Xie Kai and Ye sat for a while, and the old lady ordered someone to set the meal.
After the four of them had eaten, Ye and Xie Kai said goodbye, but Xie Wanqing stayed to accompany the old lady to copy the scriptures.
"You go play too, don't stay here with my wife." The old lady persuaded her.
Xie Wanqing shook her head: "Wanqing accompanied her grandmother to copy the scriptures and recite the Buddha." ”
"Good boy," the old lady stroked the top of her hair, "go ahead, let the old woman and I be alone for a while." ”
