Chapter 276: Presiding over the overall situation
Rong Hua asked Gu's mother to sit down and make her words clear.
Gu's mother drank tea and then stabilized her mind, "The fourth master is talking to the people in the yamen, the slave maid didn't go over to listen, but I feel that the time is not short, and the fourth master hasn't come out yet, so it's ......."
Mrs. Xue frowned and her face was ugly, "Did Su Changjiu say it?" ”
Gu's mother shook her head, "Su hasn't been found for a long time." ”
If Su Changjiu had been found, he would not have come to arrest people. Mrs. Xue is luàn in battle.
Gu's mother said: "The one who died was a member named Zhang Cháo, who had hundreds of acres of fertile land at home, just next to our Zhuangzi", "Said and looked at Mrs. Xue, "It's not the first time we've dealt with the Zhang family, the young lady doesn't know, and the lady probably doesn't remember." ”
Mrs. Xue really didn't come up with this Zhang Cháo Sect.
Gu's mother said: "The slave maid also remembered it after thinking about it." When the old lady went to Zhuangzi a few years ago, she passed by the Zhang family's field and saw a spring in the field, and remembered that there was such a spring in our Zhuangzi in the past. Later, it was the reminder of the steward of Zhuangzi, and the old lady remembered that the Zhang family's hundreds of acres of land were originally our family's, and the old man was gone a few years ago, and the family was not in a good situation, so he exchanged these acres together. ”
After that day, the old lady sent someone to Zhang's house several times to say that our family agreed to exchange silver or land for land, but the Zhang family did not agree, so the matter had to be shelved. I didn't expect it to be brought up today. ”
Seeing that Mrs. Xue didn't speak, Rong Hua asked Gu's mother, "Why do the people in the yamen think that we instructed someone to kill Zhang Cháozong." ”
Gu's mother said: "The slave didn't hear it very really, it seems that Zhang Cháozong's son went to the yamen to report the case, saying that our family found someone to come to the door yesterday to intimidate, so that the Zhang family will give up hundreds of acres of land this time, and said......" raised his face and glanced at Rong Hua, "and said......"
Could it be that it has something to do with her? Rong Hua said lightly: "Gu's mother said it directly. ”
Gu's mother said in a low voice: "It is not our family that wants to buy land, but that the imperial court wants to try to farm, and the Zhang family does not give up the land and delays the planting of seeds" It is not just as simple as selling land. ”
A knife stabbed straight into her heart. Not only did he know everything about the Xue family, but he also arranged it so cleverly, Rong Hua said: "Next to Zhangjiatianmu, is the Zhuangzi that I planted the imperial court to try to plant?" ”
Gu's mother nodded, "It's that Zhuangzi." ”
Su Changjiu is still a subordinate in her yard.
The whole thing was tied to her three times.
Mrs. Xue looked at Rong Hua, her face solemn, "Do you know about this?" ”
How can there be a little sloppiness at this time? Rong Hua hurriedly said: "Mother, don't say that I have already ordered people to plant the trial seeds given by the imperial court, even if the seeds are not planted, it is too late to plant them now, not to mention that the Zhuangzi was originally for me to take care of temporarily, where can I decide to buy and sell the fields around the Zhuangzi at will?" Besides, I can't get that much silver for hundreds of acres of land. He said and glanced at Gu's mother, "Gu's mother just talked about it, and I just learned about this Zhang Cháo Sect."
Mrs. Xue thought about it and felt that Rong Hua's words were reasonable.
Gu's mother also said: "That Zhang family must be Luàn said, even if it was the last time we bought land, our family didn't mean to force it." ”
Mrs. Xue's fingertips were already cold in horror, "Does the old lady know over there?" ”
Gu's mother shook her head, "I shouldn't know yet, the fourth master and the people from the yamen haven't finished speaking." ”
Mrs. Xue stood up anxiously, "Mingrui is not at home, if there is really something, how can I be a friend, it is better to let someone go out and give Mingrui a letter......
Xue Mingrui was ordered by secret order to drive where he could turn back casually, Rong Hua hurriedly comforted Mrs. Xue, "Mother, don't worry, whether it is to accuse us of instructing our subordinates to kill people, or to seize people's fields, there must be evidence, now the Zhang family's acres of land are still in the hands of the Zhang family, and Su Changjiu has not found it yet, one has not committed a prisoner and the other has not passed the court, can you still be sentenced like this?" We are not the only ones who have been falsely accused, and we can always find out. "After all, it was the noble family who forcibly bought land and instructed his subordinates to kill people, and such a big case could not be resolved in a moment.
Mrs. Xue's face was expressionless, "You said it easily, the people from the Yamen are in front, how can I settle down." ”
Rong Hua asked Gu's mother, "How many people from the yamen have come in?" ”
Gu's mother said: "The fourth master is cautious, saying that the house is full of female dependents, and only let the leader bring someone in to talk." ”
Rong Hua nodded, "There are four uncles outside, and the people from the yamen will not enter the mansion easily." ”
Mrs. Xue folded her hands and recited the Buddha.
Rong Hua went back to his house and called Mrs. Niu to ask about the situation.
Mrs. Niu said: "The yamen also took Su Changchang's clothes to identify. The clothes were embroidered with Su Chang's name. ”
Originally, Su didn't return home for a long time, but so many things were caused at once.
Mrs. Niu said: "Su Changchang's family is still outside." ”
Rong Hua looked out the window and instructed Jinxiu, "Let Su Changchang's family go back first, if there is something, I will ask someone to call her over." ”
Jinxiu responded.
Niu Pozi raised her head slightly to look at Rong Hua, as if she wanted to see through Rong Hua's thoughts. Rong Hua thought carefully for a while, then looked at the ...... of Mrs. Niu and went to invite the imperial doctor.
Mrs. Niu didn't expect Rong Hua to have such an order, and she was slightly stunned.
Rong Hua said: "Find someone who is familiar with the road, go back quickly." ”
Is the old lady uncomfortable? Niu Pozi just opened her mouth and didn't ask yet. Rong Hua had already said: "Call the imperial doctor first, after all, the old lady has been unwell for the past few days." ”
Mrs. Niu answered, and Rong Hua ordered neatly, "Ask a few more rough mothers-in-law to watch at the second door, and now you have to pay more attention to things in the house than usual." When Mrs. Niu left, Rong Hua called Feng Lichang's family again, "Go to Shuntianfu to find Mrs. Jiang, take my words with you, and say that when you find Su Changjiu, you will definitely send it to the Yamen." ”
Even if such words are heard, it is nothing, and the most important thing is that Madame Jiang must understand what she means.
Gu Ying's case, Xue Mingrui asked Lord Yin Jiang of Shuntian Mansion for help, and Xue Mingrui also told her that Lord Jiang could be trusted at a critical moment. Even if Su Changjiu killed someone in the gambling house, she should come to Shuntianfu to investigate the case, although she didn't know which yamen person came to the mansion, but she felt that with the relationship between Master Yin Jiang and Xue Mingrui of Shuntianfu, she would never take Zhang Cháozong's son to the door like this.
She just wanted nòng to know who was talking about the case.
What is the intention of framing the Xue family in this way?
Xue Chongjie talked for a while in front of him, and then returned to the second gate dejectedly.
The fourth lady immediately greeted her, "How is it?" ”
Xue Chongjie said: "We must arrest Su for a long time and go back to the yamen for questioning." ”
The fourth wife was slightly stunned, "Su Changjiu is not in the mansion." ”
Xue Chongjie said: "What I said is that the Zhang family insisted on seeing Su Changchang enter the mansion. The fourth lady's face sank, "What can I do now?" ”
Xue Chongjie's face froze, "I also said that I had to tell my mother before I got out." Saying that, he glanced at the fourth wife, "What about Rong Hua?" The fourth lady said, "I'm waiting for news."
The two men walked through the moon gate and into the courtyard next to it.
Rong Hua hurriedly welcomed Xue Chongjie in.
After Xue Chongjie sat down, he spoke: "I'm also strange, I have never encountered such a thing, even if someone from the yamen came before, there was room for change in the words and words, no matter how I explain it today, I want our family to hand over Su Jiujiu." "Just like the last time the people from the Yamen entered the mansion to arrest the Shi family.
At this time, there was no time to say her thoughts tactfully, so she simply made it clear directly, Rong Hua said: "At the beginning, it was only a little credible to say that Su Changjiu made trouble in the gambling house and didn't dare to go back to the house, but now it is land grabbing and killing, and I see that I want to make things bigger." ”
Xue Chongjie's eyes lit up, and he thought so.
Rong Hua said: "Now that most of the people in our house are missing, and now it is dark again, even if there is something urgent, we have to wait until after dawn tomorrow to make plans." Xue Chongjie said: "I think the same way", "I stood up as he spoke," without further ado, I told my mother, and it was okay to go back to the people of the Yamen. ”
A few people walked towards the old lady's yard, and as soon as they reached the door, they heard a luàn shout from the house, "Old lady, old lady...... Quick, get the medicine. ”
Everyone's faces changed, and they hurried into the house to see.
The room was in a mess, and everyone was watching Mother Li take out the pill and stuff it into the old lady's mouth, and someone outside said: "There are a lot of torches outside the house, and I don't know how many people have come." ”
Mrs. Xue stumbled two steps on the soles of her feet when she heard this, and Second Mrs. Xue turned her head and asked Xue Chongjie, "What the hell is going on?" What does the yamen say? Xue Chongjie said again.
Second Mrs. Xue's face became more and more ugly, and she raised her head to look at Rong Hua, "Rong Hua, didn't the second aunt say that you, it's just that you don't use people properly, and now this kind of thing has happened, your second uncle and Ming Rui are not at home, and the old lady is angry with this ......" Without giving Rong Hua time to refute, the second wife asked Xue Chongjie, "Fourth brother can't think of a way?" ”
Xue Chongjie said: "It's already late, and Su Changjiu is not in the mansion, even if there is something, he will have to wait until tomorrow." ”
Second Mrs. Xue deliberately raised her voice, "That's what you say, Yamen Ken is like this?" Originally, it was said that we instructed our subordinates to kill people, but now we are pushing back and obstructing, but I am afraid that in the future, we will deliberately let our subordinates go, and there will be some, how will you explain to the yamen when the time comes? ”
Xue Chongjie was stunned for a while.
Second Mrs. Xue looked like a housekeeper, holding a handkerchief and walking a few steps forward, "Let's say that Su is not in the mansion for a long time, and no one will believe it." ”
Second Mrs. Xue asked Xue Chongjie, "What do the people from the Yamen say?" ”
Xue Chongjie said: "I just said that I would take people into the house to take a look at the next person." ”
Second Mrs. Xue smiled, "Then let's go." It's better to follow the meaning of the yamen and let them go into the house to take a look, if they screw it, it will make things bigger, and it will be even more difficult to end. ”
When Second Mrs. Xue said this, Mrs. Xue suddenly remembered what the Taoist priest said about how to crack the Blood Light Calamity. This is exactly what the Taoist priest said, everything must go according to its will, not stubbornly, so that there is no big loss, and this catastrophe is broken. So he raised his head and said: "What the second brother and sister said is also right, we can't make people feel that our family is protective of others."
