320. Good and evil are rewarded
Tang Muchen didn't speak, just lay in her arms. At the moment he has mixed feelings, he has already lost his mother and will soon lose his father. In this world, he only has one she.
Early in the morning of the second day, Tang Muchen came to the court with all the evidence of Meng's crimes. The emperor was furious when he saw it, he had never seen a woman in the deep house with a femme fatale's heart, and nearly dozens of people had died at her hands. He couldn't help but shoot the case, even if it was an enemy army, it was not as vicious as a woman like her.
Everyone in the court was silent, this was a housework of the Houfu, and they didn't dare to participate. Besides, one is an old marquis who has worked hard, and the other is a young marquis who has risen as a rookie, and neither of them can afford to offend their father and son.
When Tang Muchen looked at the recital and incriminating evidence he presented, Tang Muchen told all the crimes of the Meng family. The court was in an uproar, and the eyes that looked at Tang Chuan also changed.
Tang Chuan bowed his head and was silent, the matter had come to this point, and he had nothing to say.
The emperor asked Tang Chuan, is what Tang Muchen said funny true? Tang Chuan did not deny it.
There was a lot of discussion in the court, and the ministers exchanged their heads and ears, or regret, or sorrow, or gloating.
The emperor sighed, since this is the case, there is no need for this case to be tried again. He ordered that Meng and the relevant personnel be brought up.
Soon, Meng Shi, who was wearing a bracelet and anklet, was escorted up by two people. At this time, she was dressed in plain clothes, and she had long lost her former arrogance, and her eyes were a little demented looking at an unknown place, as if she had lost her soul in a trance.
Along with it, Tang Fan, Tang Yan and Meng Xiaoling, Wanmei and others followed. Su Xiaojin was a step late because he wanted to settle his son.
After several people arrived, the emperor ordered the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to tell Meng's guilt again, and Meng also confessed one by one.
Tang Fan and Tang Yan were a little flustered, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like pounding garlic, begging the emperor not to kill him, and said that all this was the mastermind of the Meng clan and had nothing to do with the two of them.
After everyone heard this, there was an uproar, as the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and sure enough, what kind of mother has what kind of son.
The emperor raised his eyes to look at Tang Muchen and asked him what he wanted to do with the Meng family. Tang Muchen knelt down and said that he could ask the emperor to follow the law, and he didn't need to care about his opinion.
The emperor saw that Tang Muchen had a clear distinction between public and private, and nodded approvingly, very good, he recognized reason or not, and he was a talent needed by the country.
The Emperor looked at the crowd and asked who else had anything to say.
Su Xiaojin stood up and said that he wanted to intercede for the two of them.
The emperor looked at her curiously, she was Tang Muchen's wife, and she was the sister of Su Xiaoqian, who did she want to intercede?
Su Xiaojin knelt on the ground respectfully, excusing Meng Xiaoling and Wanmei. These two people are kind-hearted, and they have also suffered from the persecution of the Meng family, so they begged the emperor to open up and sentence them not guilty.
Meng Xiaoling and Wan Mei knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes, their husbands were punished, and they would be implicated, they thought they wouldn't be able to escape, but Su Xiaojin took the lead in interceding for them, and she knew that she was emotionally moved and reasonable, thoughtful, and prepared early at a glance.
Evening charm sighs, there is such a good sister in life, this life is enough!
After hearing this, the emperor agreed to Su Xiaojin's request, dissolved their respective marriage contracts, and let them go home to live.
Hearing that the emperor agreed, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, kneeling on the ground to thank Emperor Longen.
Subsequently, the emperor ordered that the mute mother-in-law had a vicious mind and gave her poison to pierce the intestines, and after her death, the corpse was abandoned in the countryside and allowed to be bitten by wild dogs. Meng's grass has more than ten lives, according to the law of our dynasty, he should be beheaded, and he was beheaded at Tongquetai at noon today! His son knew the law and broke the law, acted as his mother's accomplice, and was exiled to the frontier! Tang Chuan was dismissed and investigated for harboring criminals, and he was never hired again.
The will came down to great joy and rejoicing. Tang Muchen looked up at the sky, mother, the son has finally avenged you! You can look under the nine springs!
After returning to the Hou Mansion, Meng Xiaoling packed up her things and prepared to go back to the Meng Mansion. Wanmei had nowhere to go for a while, and everything in the house was ordered to be seized, so she went to Su Xiaojin.
Su Xiaojin expected that Wanmei would come over, and asked Gu Yu to prepare the tea early in the morning.
When Wanmei came, she saw Su Xiaojin, who had been waiting for a long time, she smiled, sure enough, she knew herself best.
The two chatted heartily for a while, and Su Xiaojin asked her what she planned next. Wanmei said that she was leaving, leaving this sad place. She was a little reluctant to hold Su Xiaojin's hand, I'm afraid it won't be as convenient as it is now.
Su Xiaojin asked her where she wanted to go, and if she still had relatives and friends to rely on?
Wan Mei smiled bitterly and shook her head, after so many years, where do you still have any relatives and friends? She sighed and replied that the world was big, and there was home everywhere. The rivers and lakes are so big, there is always a place for them.
Su Xiaojin handed over the prepared money bag to Wan Mei's hand, saying that the money was enough for her to eat and drink for a while. If you are really reluctant to leave, it is better to open a teahouse in the capital, so that it will be more convenient to meet in the future, and there will be a care for each other.
Su Xiaojin's proposal was good, and he was a little excited. She said that the money was borrowed by herself, and she would pay it back twice in the future.
Sending Wanmei away, the ancient rumor asked Su Xiaojin why he proposed to open a teahouse in Wanmei, was it really for the convenience of meeting in the future?
Su Xiaojin smiled, she told the ancient rumor that there are too many people who look at people with colored glasses in this era, and the background of the late beauty is not good, and only by relying on her own hard work can she be impressive. Those who looked down on her in the past will truly respect her from the bottom of their hearts.
Gu Yu nodded, and sure enough, Mrs. was thoughtful. This method is the best, not only to settle down where Wanmei goes, but also to clear her background, so that people dare not go lightly.
In this way, at Su Xiaojin's suggestion, Wanmei opened a teahouse. The money was also given by Su Xiaojin, I was afraid that Wanmei would not want it, she said that this was her own investment, and she would just give some dividends when she earned money.
Wan Mei smiled, she must live up to her expectations of herself. She is a smart and clever woman, who follows the old bustard and has a talent for business. No, not only did the teahouse really be built, but the business was also quite good.
At the beginning, everyone came for the beauty of Wanmei, Wanmei was warmly entertained, and hired a girl who sang songs in Jiangnan and a storyteller, everyone ate tea and listened to a song, so comfortable. Over time, they really liked the teahouse.
At the end of the day, Wanmei was tired and had a sore back and legs, she counted the silver and found that in addition to daily expenses, she had earned a lot. She was glad that if she continued like this, she would soon be able to repay Xiaojin's silver taels.
She is sometimes very grateful to God, think about it carefully, she has gained a lot in Houfu, not only found out the cause of the death of her good sister Qinghe and avenged her, she also made two good friends, and finally became the proprietress of the teahouse because of a blessing in disguise.
