Chapter 48: Charges
The first thing Chu Feiran saw was the sandalwood coffin in the center, and the appearance of purple light in the darkness revealed a gloomy reflection in his usually gentle eyes.
In this coffin...... I didn't expect the General's Mansion to move so quickly.
Chu Feiran's eyes darkened, things were really not that simple. Does this old general know anything......
"Old General Lin, I came here today to plead for mercy." As soon as Chu Feiran's words fell, he bent down and bowed, his lowered head did not show any dissatisfaction, as far as the old man in front of him was concerned, he was worthy of respect.
The hall was quiet and terrifying, the maid kneeling on the ground kept throwing paper money into the brazier to burn, and the whimpering cry was extremely abrupt, and the old man on the seat slowly raised his head and looked coldly at the person who still had the same posture, the Chu family...... But Erl.
"This incident happened to the Ogata casino today, it is a dereliction of duty in the business of the Chu family, but the second brother under him will never do anything to murder the lives of others, and please ask the old general to investigate this matter thoroughly and return the Chu family to a clean slate." These words were neither humble nor arrogant, and there was a sense of worry in his tone.
Chu Feiran's gaze at the person in front of him, the oppressive aura on the battlefield came from the surface, and the gaze that shot like a cold arrow seemed to make him see blood before he waved his hand, but in an instant, it seemed like a hundred years, and suddenly the old man's eyes turned and looked at the high-ranking spirit card, and the emotions in it ...... The person standing could not see clearly.
"Young people are so arrogant and innocent...... This innocence was not given by the old man. Lin Ping's sleeves were swept away, and he suddenly stood up, the wide white cloth and linen-colored fabric made the person who got up seem to be much older, looking at the coffin...... It's a father's kind of pity and remorse.
Even the whimpering sound in the room gradually disappeared, and only the smell of burning, a choking smell, filled the nostrils. The brow of the person is unconsciously wrinkled.
"Old General Lin, you don't know the reason for this, it's just that ......" Chu Feiran was looking for the right word, "It's just the turn of the Chu family." A wry smile flashed on his face, he had never felt so decadent in the past few years, Fei Yu's life ...... Better than all.
The old man turned around and saw the young man standing in front of him, the Chu family has been ...... in recent years He has always been regarded as the object of attention by some people in the DPRK, but he has not paid attention to the government for a long time.
But this time...... I knew in my heart that someone had calculated on his head, and he also knew his son's thoughts, and the old man really spoiled the child, Lin Zhi's corpse was verified to be not poisoned to death, but weak and weak, and the weak body that could not withstand the toss was stimulated, but it was difficult to protect it...... This is not by design.
"In front of my son's tablet, the old man didn't want to say anything excessive, this matter ...... The General's Mansion will not end here, it is better for Gongzi Chu to go back first, and the affairs of the Yamen will be handled by the county order. The old man's tone was calm with a deep sigh, and he was also old, but in a few words, his original cold breath was wiped out.
Over there at the palace...... I'm sure I'll get news right away.
Chu Feiran still wanted to speak, but the qi and blood that suddenly surged up in his heart, with a surging trend, made people cough lightly, and the person still covered up the past quietly, the old general's words...... It shows that the General's Mansion will not intervene in this matter again, although it has not solved the most fundamental problem, but at least this side of the force has chosen not to interfere.
He's going to go to his cell before dark...... See Shang Feiyu.
"Then I said goodbye...... Chu Feiran bowed deeply as if he had just come in, not everyone would have the bearing of Lin Lao, after all, it was his most beloved son who died here, and ...... "Old general, please mourn!"
Before stepping into this door, Chu Feiran couldn't do anything about it, so he left...... There was just a wry smile on his face, and the Chu family's industry was ...... I'm afraid I can't keep it.
"Big brother, I'm ...... Can I go to the Yamen to see Chu Feiyu? Feeling that the carriage stopped, Fu Mingran's eyes that had been lowered lifted up, in fact...... She was a little disgusted with her "obedient" nature. I don't know since when...... Doing things becomes submissive.
Fu Mingyuan glanced at the plaque at the door through the curtain of the car, the word Fu Fu was hanging on it, and it had been hanging for more than a hundred years, in his hand...... I don't want to see it taken off. His last wish, which has been returned to the Buddhist family, is this......
Mother's wish...... That's too.
"Mingran, it's getting late today, it's better to rest early, big brother assures you that Fei Yu will be fine." Probably due to the influence of the cold wind, an abnormal flush appeared on the young man's face, and the light in his eyes ...... Fu Mingyuan patted her head, and suddenly turned to the kid who was being held in the cell...... There was some jealousy, and when did this child show such a worried look.
Watch the carriage leave...... Fu Mingran's fist clenched tighter and tighter, and the word "waiting" would never mean anything to her.
Gu Lianqi's kid should be back, right...... The man did not enter the house, but went to the place where the man stayed at all. Today's incident should be known to the whole capital, will Lian Qi already take action.
It's only half a day......
"Have you heard that the second son of the Chu family was arrested and entered the yamen for murdering the general's son, and this time the Chu family is afraid that there will be no day to turn over."
"There is also news from the yamen, the arrester has signed and confessed to the crime, and it seems that the Chu family will be preparing for a funeral soon."
"Xiao Wu, where did you hear the news, it's only been half a day, and even the county master hasn't started the trial......"
"I saw with my own eyes that the general's mansion carried a good coffin this morning, this matter is absolutely true, I think what kind of person the general's son is, the Chu family must carry it."
Suddenly, the person who was drinking with a wine glass threw something on the next table with a pot of wine, and the people who had just gathered to discuss immediately slapped the table and stood up, but when they saw the person next door, their arrogance immediately subsided.
They looked at the group with a smile on their faces...... It is Gu Erye, who has been in the limelight recently......
"Why, you don't want to drink my wine?" The obvious look of being angry subsided a little in Gu Lianqi's sudden shift of gaze, but the smiling eyes were cold.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the little ones are just talking nonsense." Everyone laughed and said, who doesn't know the relationship between the second son of the Chu family and Gu Erye, but Gu Erye has not appeared in the capital for several days, and I heard that he accompanied his cousin, the newly appointed county magistrate of Tiancheng County, to stay in other counties for two months. 、
Then this is just back...... The group of people who were talking about it just now were all crying, and they were bumped into by coincidence, and now the business in the hands of Gu Erye is almost surpassing the Chu family, which is about to decline, and they are also people who do small business, which is really unaffordable.
Fu Mingran saw Gu Lianqi sitting drinking at a glance, and it seemed that something had happened...... The man walked over.
"If it's because of Fei Yu's business, let's talk about changing places first." The person who missed it whispered when he rubbed shoulders, Fu Mingran's footsteps stopped halfway, and silently turned to look at the person who walked out of the restaurant, and his back was a little anxious.
But it looks like a dusty man...... Did you just return to Beijing, what happened to Chu Feiyu......
Gu Lianqi's frowning appearance is less of the freewheeling demeanor in the past, and the deep thinking gradually revealed can make people trust, mainly because the person in front of him is too careless on weekdays, Fu Mingran stood in the alley next to the building like this, looking at the person he hadn't seen for about two months.
"Fu Mingran, you look a little weird." The first thing a person said was ...... Fu Mingran then showed the disgusted look when he met in the past, and his heart collapsed a little when he saw the person in front of him nodding silently.
"Do you have a way to get into the cell?" No matter what, she wants to meet Chu Feiyu today. Fu Mingran clearly saw the movement of the person in front of him touching his head, and his eyes, which had been low, suddenly lit up, so Gu Lianqi had a way.
"It just so happens that the warden guarding the cell has some friendship with me, but Fei Yu really committed murder and was arrested?" Gu Lianqi still looked puzzled, he had just returned to the capital today, and before he could take a breath, something unexpected happened.
Something like this happens...... I believe that Fei Yu also knows it in his heart.
"Say as you go" Fu Mingran pulled people's sleeves and walked straight away, how could there be so much nonsense.
"County Order, this charge ......" spread out was a white paper stained with bloody handprints, without any ink on it, and the person with both hands looked at the person on the seat with some inexplication...... What is the purpose of the prefectural order?
"Song staff is back?" The person who spoke seemed to deliberately not look at the white paper on the table, which was stained with blood, and seemed to have a heavier and heavier smell of blood.
"Back to the county order, Mr. Song asked you for two days off, and you will come back tomorrow." Obviously, this response to the audience was not very satisfied, Lin Yaozhi's eyes paused, and suddenly raised his hand to cover the paper with a book, as if it did not exist.
"When the Song staff comes back, they will report to me immediately, go down first."
"Yes"
seemed to sigh heavily, Lin Yaozhi didn't look at the people who retreated, this matter was ...... He was also in a quandary.
The corpse has also been taken away by the people of the General's Mansion, and it is impossible to conduct an autopsy, and the most direct evidence for the crime of poisoning is obviously not available, not to mention that he knows this matter in his heart, and the official government has been looking for trouble with the Chu family more than two or three times in the past few years.
It's just that this time it's too wide-ranging...... Even the commander of the Canglan Army has been involved, and these three princes are already completely sure......
But he is just a petty official, even in this capital, he can't say much in the court, this problem is ...... But it's really hard to do.
Chu Feiran first went back to the Chu Mansion, the housekeeper didn't know if there was any news, he lifted the curtain and looked at the sky outside, and suddenly the dim light in his eyes seemed to be about to merge into the upcoming night, I hope it will come in time......
