Chapter 188: Suddenly Drink It's Too Late to Regret
As expected, things are developing in the direction of Mama Song's plan, which makes her very proud in her heart, and she is relieved to Mama Yang, and she also seems very sincere and caring - even if the matter is thunderous and rainy, don't think that it has been revealed like this, it is too inconsistent with Mama Song's style of acting.
Of course, she has a back-and-forth.
First of all, he calmed the matter, and after the limelight passed, let the Chinese people leave Jinyang to avoid it, so as not to be pinched by others, and then spread rumors in a small area outside, focusing on a few thorny imperial histories.
Even if Wei Guogong was involved because of this matter, it would not hurt, after all, it was only a small dispute, no one died, and the plaintiff was also appeased, and with the saint's faith in Wei Guogong, he would definitely not blame.
But in this way, Mama Yang is afraid that she will no longer have an assistant housekeeper and stay in the Guogong Mansion.
As for whether her kid is innocent, with the "evil consequences", who else cares?
was troubled by this turmoil, the eldest princess's originally happy mood was also affected to some extent, and the atmosphere in Yuanying Hall seemed a little calm, even the "little yellow warbler" Qi Niang changed from the lively and hearty of the past, and obediently did not say much.
Everyone was waiting for the result of the "peace of mind" brought back by the chief manager of Song.
It stands to reason that there will be no surprises.
Mama Yang was also persuaded by the eldest princess to get up, but she was still ashamed and stood on the ground listlessly, ignoring Mama Song's comfort.
Yijing also sat silently very obediently, waiting for the development of the situation.
Huang appeared calm as usual.
Xu Shi occasionally looked at the beautiful scene, frowning and thinking about this sudden turmoil, always feeling that things would have twists and turns.
Sure enough—
Half an hour later, the mother-in-law at the second gate rushed to the place in a panic, almost tripped and fell on the stone steps, but Linglong helped her in, and said tremblingly: "Mrs. Tai, Chief Song has been detained by Shuntianfu!" ”
Xu Shi looked at Yijing in surprise, not missing the slightest change in her expression—the corners of her lips were lightly raised.
Five girls, where are you singing?
This news, of course, is five thunders for Mama Song! Completely unexpected, she was in a state of confusion for a while, and stepped forward and shouted: "Speak well, what's going on?" ”
The mother-in-law didn't say carefully, but only said that the news was sent back by the little guy who followed Manager Song to Shuntian Mansion.
Huang was also full of suspicion and cautiously did not open his mouth.
The eldest princess didn't care too much, and when she saw that the woman couldn't speak clearly, she hurriedly ordered the accompanying maid to come in and reply.
The little guy was sweating profusely, and when he saw that the main hall was full of women, he didn't dare to enter, so he knelt outside the threshold and talked about the matter carefully in his throat.
"The little one didn't follow up with the government and waited outside, but soon I heard that the head of Song was detained, and hurriedly inquired, only to learn that it was the Chinese who was asking for profit and hurting people, and was told to go to Shuntian Mansion, saying that he violated the restrictions and added profits privately, and violated the law to force him...... Shuntian Mansion took him, he kept saying that he was entrusted by the slaves in our house, his waist was straight, and he refused to admit his guilt, Lord Yin of the Mansion sent someone to the meeting in order to be safe, and he didn't want to go to Manager Song, and the bearded horse pointed at him to confess, and he insisted that it was the Director Song who instructed him, and said that there was a note as evidence, Lord Yin had to detain Manager Song and send someone to find the note. ”
!!!
These words suddenly made Mama Song's eyes pop with stars.
"Princess, someone must have framed you." Mama Song gritted her teeth to distinguish it.
"Grandmother, this thing is really strange, didn't the Chinese person say that Uncle Qiuyue instructed at first? Why did you retract your confession in court? "The scenery is full of puzzlement.
Mama Song immediately felt like an initiation: "It must be that Chinese person who intends to bite the Guogong Mansion!" ”
The eldest princess obviously felt confused, and asked the little girl: "What is going on, how could the Chinese person retract his confession on the spot?" ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on the little guy.
Only Xu Shi looked at the beautiful scenery with a smile in his eyes.
The little guy spoke very methodically, but it was obviously unfavorable to Manager Song, and Yi Jing's questioning just now seemed to guide the little guy to continue to decompose.
The little guy accompanying the concierge is Sanshun's "brother with a different surname", and he has expected today's events, of course, he is very organized-
It turned out that the bearded horse claimed that it was the Song manager who looked for him earlier, promised him benefits, and asked him to plant the son of the shopkeeper of Rongqingzhai to instruct him to hurt people for profit, and the bearded horse recognized the Song manager, did not dare to offend, and greedy for benefits, so he agreed first, in order to protect himself, and let the Song manager make a deed. Three days ago, he really acted according to the plan, and he made a heavy hand at the people when he collected the profits, but the bearded horse was a little unsteady after all, and secretly inquired, only to know that Rongqingzhai was also the industry of our house, and immediately panicked, it was expected to be the civil strife among the people under the Guogong Mansion, and he didn't dare to get involved for a while, and he was going to run, but he didn't have time. ”
Yi Jing glanced at Mama Song's face as if she was dead, and then lowered her eyes, only looking at the scorching sun shining on the gold brick ground like a sword, and continued to stand by.
Hu Zima thought to himself, a Song manager can't afford to offend, Rong Qingzhai is also the property of the Guogong Mansion, of course the shopkeeper has to be used, he can't afford to offend, and he plans to just say that with the support of the Guogong Mansion, Lord Yin of the Mansion can calm things down, but he has never confessed to anyone until the Song Governor goes...... Because Manager Song asked Hu Zima if he was falsely accused, he immediately panicked, thinking that Manager Song was going to fall into the well and cross the river and tear down the bridge, so he confessed the truth. ”
After the little guy finished saying these words in one breath, he gasped heavily.
It's quite amazing!
"Ah Song, since even the Chinese people have not confessed to my three boys, why did Manager Song say that someone accused my three boys of 'bullying others'?" Mama Yang hit the nail on the head.
Mama Song was stunned at this time, and she couldn't distinguish a word.
At this time, there is no doubt about the truth, the eldest princess looked at Mama Song coldly, and continued to ask: "Is the plaintiff seriously injured?" ”
Xiao Xiao immediately replied: "The injury is not serious, originally he did not expect to involve the Guogong Mansion, but he was forced to have no way out, listen to the persuasion, Hu Zima is just a scoundrel in the market, no one behind him to support him, but he can sue him for violating the restrictions and profits, and forcing the lawless, so he went to sue the official, and then when he heard that there was such a reason, he begged that as long as he was exempted from heavy interest and repaid the cost of seeking medical treatment and recuperating from his injuries, he was satisfied and no longer pursued." ”
The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief, and told the Huang family to immediately arrange a safe steward to go to Shuntian Mansion to deal with it, get Song Hui out first, and put things to rest for the time being.
Everything was as expected, and it was sold out smoothly.
When he knew that Song Hui bought Hu Zima, he immediately entrusted Du Yuniang, carefully set it from Hu Zima's mouth, and laid out this trap, Hu Zima's confession was naturally full of nonsense, he received a lot of money from Du Yuniang, so he naturally had to act according to the plan.
At first, he did not confess to Uncle Qiuyue, and only pushed out the Guogong Mansion to support him.
Yijing expected that in order to embarrass Mama Yang, Song Hui would spread the word about it before she could ask for verification.
Then Mama Song will come forward and propose to settle the matter, after all, if she continues to investigate, she will also worry that the bearded horse will show flaws.
The person who persuaded the civilians to sue the official was naturally arranged by Song Hui.
Everything was seamless - when he was ordered to go to Shuntianfu to "settle things", it was just a scene, first asking Hu Zima if he was complaining, according to the plan of Song's mother and son, of course Hu Zima would bite Uncle Qiuyue, so Song Hui comforted the plaintiff warmly, accompanied him with money, and persuaded him to withdraw the lawsuit.
The plaintiff himself also borrowed a loan, and as a poor person, he did not dare to offend the powerful, and he would definitely accept the benefits when he saw them.
The matter is handled like this, and Uncle Qiuyue must be at a loss.
Who knew that Song Hui only said a word in this play, which actually caused the bearded horse to confess on the spot!
He must have been struck by lightning at that time.
Regardless of the fact that Hu Zima still has his deed, even if there is no evidence, Song Hui has "spread rumors" that Uncle Qiuyue was sued to the government from the beginning, and the truth can explain the crux of the problem.
This trick invites you into the urn, foolproof.
Of course, the next thing is very simple, Song Hui went out triumphantly and returned to the house dejectedly, although because of the reputation of the Guogong Mansion, he would not be imprisoned, but as the chief manager, he wanted to trap the injustice of the master's family, in order to repay his personal hatred, and he would inevitably be severely punished.
And the purpose of his behavior is of course related to Mama Song.
Mama Song prostrate on the ground, crying bitterly and confessing her guilt, only saying that she was confused, because she was not angry that Mama Yang had lost the steward who was familiar with her, so she had a bad heart and wanted to put Mama Yang in injustice, and tried to persuade the eldest princess to open up to Song Hui, saying that Song Hui was forced to do this because of "filial piety".
Her crying, of course, avoided idlers, and the eldest princess took care of the old feelings and did not embarrass her in public.
Mama Song thought that if the eldest princess could reprimand, there might be a chance to keep Song Hui's position as the head of the house.
But she was desperate to see that the eldest princess just waved her hand tiredly, and even felt that it was redundant to scold, so she only asked her to lead Song Hui home to be responsible.
Of course, Mama Song was also puzzled by the sudden defection of the bearded horse, but before she could take action, the bearded horse disappeared from the market of Jinyangjing, and it was said that she followed a ranger to break through, which was naturally the aftermath of the beautiful scene, in order not to let Mama Song trace her.
Of course, this is not the only step.
After Song's mother and son went home to be responsible, Yijing returned to Yuanyingtang, and she had some words that she must remind her grandmother.
"The granddaughter knows that her grandmother will be embarrassed, but Mama Song's behavior can't be indulged anymore, otherwise in the future, she will only rely on her past feelings and will do even more." Yijing sighed: "This time it's just because Mama Yang punished the steward who had a good relationship with her, and she actually bribed the scoundrels in the market, wanting to trap Mama Yang for small injustices, and not taking into account the reputation of our house. ”
After this time, the eldest princess was also disheartened by Mama Song, but when she thought of her lifelong refusal to marry in order to be loyal, and the friendship of life and death, she was a little hesitant.
Of course, Yi Jing could understand her grandmother's mood, and then persuaded again: "Grandmother, although Mama Song has made meritorious contributions, it is understandable for you to take into account the past feelings and treat her leniently, but if you don't even investigate such a matter involving the family's reputation, won't the old slaves in the house do the same in the future?" In my opinion, love is love, rules are rules, the two must be clear, Mama Song said that because of her grandmother's kindness, she was willing to wait by her side, which was originally her loyalty, but gradually at this time, she became more and more domineering relying on her grandmother's trust and old feelings, isn't it against the original intention? The so-called loyalty has long since changed its taste. But she is like this, her grandmother still takes care of the old relationship, so it is better to give her another grace, get rid of the slavery of the Song manager's family, or reward them with shops to make a living, or send them back to Ninghai to settle down, which can be regarded as the former friendship of life and death. ”
Of course, this is to retreat as advance, Yijing believes in Yu Feng's judgment, Mama Song will not give up easily, but when she repeatedly insists on staying in the Guogong Mansion, her intentions are like this, grandmother will be suspicious and will take more precautions against her.
Sure enough, when the eldest princess listened to Yijing's suggestion, summoned Mama Song, and proposed to get rid of Song Hui's slave status......
Mama Song didn't know that this was to politely expel their family, and immediately cried bitterly and kowtowed, only saying that she had committed a serious crime, and she had no shame to receive grace, only to seek punishment, and she no longer dared to be unwilling, if the princess refused to forgive, she could only apologize with death.
said so, it is not to use "death" to threaten it, to bully the eldest princess to be merciful, to take into account the friendship of life and death, for such an insignificant trivial matter, I can't bear to put them to death.
The eldest princess was already very impatient, and said in a cold voice: "Since you insist on this...... Anyway, I take care of the love you have been with me for decades, and I won't force you to leave, but since you are willing to be a slave, you have to follow the rules of the government! Song Hui made a big mistake this time, and he should be punished, and he can no longer serve as the head of the office, he should have been punished with a rod, thinking of the old feelings, I will open the net again, and ask him to go to the suburbs of Zhuangzi on an errand, if there is a mistake in the future, disobedience to discipline, relying on the old situation to act recklessly, when the punishment is punished, and then do not forgive, can you be convinced? ”
Where did Mama Song dare to say the word "no".
"And you...... That's it, you're old, you shouldn't have worked for a long time, and in the future, you should take care of yourself at home, and if I have time, I'll call you in and talk. ”
Mama Song's face was like ashes.
Because the eldest princess meant that not only did she lose all her envoys, but even deprived her of the freedom to enter and leave the palace.
"As for the winter rain ......"
These four words made Mama Song even more frightened.
The eldest princess sighed: "Jing Yatou said that she is a good person, this matter has nothing to do with her, and I will not implicate the innocent, so let's stay in Luqing Garden, but in the future, in addition to the permission for the New Year's holiday, it is rare to reunite with you, if you are reluctant, I will allow her to go out." ”
Dongyu is Mama Song's only hope at the moment, how can she be "cut down and eradicated", and immediately swore a gambling curse, saying that Dongyu was a slave of the Guogong Mansion and did not dare to object.
The eldest princess watched Mama Song suffer so much with cold eyes, and she bowed her head, frowning between her frowning eyebrows, and gradually condensed her doubts.
Although Mama Song didn't dare to look at it, she had already noticed it, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted, because she had no way back.
Half a lifetime of planning, how can it stop here?
As long as Song Hui is in hand, as long as Dongyu still has a chance, she will not admit defeat.
