Chapter 323: Confrontation
Dugu flicked his sleeves slightly and went to the conference hall.
"Ah Jia, I'll go with you." Ran Yan caught up with her in a few steps.
Dugu paused, glanced at her, and said coldly, "What are you going to do, are you going to see my jokes?" ”
"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and the Erxin family will not do this kind of thing, but they are a little worried." Ran Yan looked at her with a frank gaze.
Dugu looked at Xu Yu for a while, turned his head and left, never said yes, nor did he say that he was not allowed to go, so Ran Yan agreed with her, and then led Wanlu to go with her.
The council chamber was built in the front yard, on the north side of the study. As soon as Ran Yan entered the front yard, he saw white silk fluttering, and many small servants were still hanging white flags, and a solemn atmosphere suddenly came to his face.
There were two rows of guards standing at the 'door' of the council hall, and when they saw the Dugu clan coming, they all bowed their heads and saluted, but no one stopped Ran Yan.
There are more than 20 people in the house, and the patriarch is in the first seat, not according to the rank of the official position outside. Looking at this posture, Dugu's heart tightened slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Song Guogong.
Song Guogong's expression was solemn, his expression was very unhappy, and when he saw his wife's gaze, he bowed slightly. Dugu's family was a little relieved, as long as the husband still believed in himself and stood on the same line with himself, what else was there to be afraid of! Her Dugu clan has never been manipulated by others.
The patriarch's gaze fell on Ran Yan, and he said slowly, "Ran clan, there is nothing for you here. ”
Meaning, it's none of your business, you can go out.
Since Ran Yan came, he didn't plan to go out, and was about to speak, but was said by Xiao Song, "Fourth uncle, when grandmother 'handed over' her last words, in addition to Ling Xiang and a few other 'servants', Seventeen Niang was also present, for the sake of caution... It is still necessary to have all the human and material evidence. ”
Ran Yan's stay is a trivial matter, and this is to deal with someone's mother, so naturally he has to give people a chance to defend himself, Xiao nodded in agreement, "Jiulang's words are reasonable, Ran's... Sit down. ”
Xiao Song was full of men on the left and right, and Ran Yan was stupid and couldn't sit down, so he had to choose the last seat and kneel down.
A small servant served a mat to the Dugu clan in the center of the hall, and the Dugu clan knelt down calmly, "I don't know why the patriarch and the clan elders are so moving, why did they call me here?" ”
"Ling Xiang's death is full of suspicions, let me ask you, have you ever invited Mrs. Daning County into the palace today?" Xiao asked.
When these words were asked, everyone's eyes were focused on Dugu's body.
Dugu is a 'door' valve 'woman'... I haven't seen a big battle, so naturally I won't be afraid, and I looked at Xiao at eye level, and said calmly, "No." ”
"Someone... Please, Mrs. Daningjun, you face to face. "The ancestral motto of the Xiao family is loyal and upright, so Xiao will directly use the evidence.
Mrs. Daning County is Xiao Song's 'milk' mother, Shu Niang. Man Chang'an doesn't know Shu Niang's 'sex', he is spicy and ruthless, but he is definitely a rectum and attaches great importance to righteousness.
But in a moment, there was a bang outside... Immediately followed by Shu Niang's unique loud voice 'door'..."What the hell are you, don't say that the old lady is not guilty now... It's sinful, and you can't hold it down! ”
Ran Yan looked towards the 'door', only to see Shu Niang dragging two guards with bleeding lips on the side of the 'door' and striding in.
Shu Niang squatted slightly and saluted, and immediately a small man trembled and gave the mat.
Shu Niang knelt down and sat down, Xiao also ignored her rudeness, she was a bandit, why bother with etiquette with her? After all, they are not the Xiao family, and they thought that the two guards would be beaten if they offended her, so they went straight to the point, "Our Xiao family guards are rude, Mrs. Daning, please calm your anger, and the old man will deal with them later." It's just that now Ling Xiang's matter is critical, and he also asked Mrs. Daning to assist, and the old man and the Xiao family brothers are all 'excited'. ”
Shu Niang has always eaten soft rather than hard, and when she saw that Xiao was so polite, she was embarrassed to put on the shelf, and immediately said, "Just ask, my Shu Niang has always had one thing to say and two to say, and she has never been 'deceived' or abducted." ”
Xiao paused for a moment, and then asked, "Mrs. Daning said that the Dugu clan asked you to bring the golden silk nanmu box into the palace, who is it for?" ”
"Naturally, it's Xiao Niangniang." Shu Niang said.
"Who 'handed it over' to you with the box? Why do you believe that it must be the Dugu clan that asked you to do this? Xiao then asked.
Shu Niang suddenly understood that this matter was not trivial, and it was likely that the clue pointed to the Dugu family, but she still did not hide it, and frowned, "It's a 'servant' maid named Sang Yu next to Madame." ”
These words were obviously asked in advance, and everyone didn't have too many expressions. Xiao looked at the Dugu clan, "What do you have to say?" ”
Dugu listened to Shu Niang's words, her heart had already been raised, she had known Shu Niang for many years, although the relationship had not been very close, but Shu Niang was the lady of Daning County, she knew everything clearly, there was no need to frame her!
"Please ask the patriarch to call Sang Yu to confront him." This is also the only way for the Dugu clan, Sang Yu is just a second-class 'waiter' in her yard, she was bought in her early tens, and she has been with her for six or seven years, who is she used for? Or is it just a 'traitor' at all?
"Sang Yu has disappeared, she is your 'squire', don't you know?" Xiao asked.
For this issue, everyone unanimously expressed doubts, and if the Dugu clan decisively asked for a confrontation in order to show his innocence, in this case, it also seemed to have an inside story.
Dugu's back straightened, knowing that today's matter may not be easily resolved, since the other party has set a trap for her, daring to alarm so many people, she must be absolutely sure, and she does not have any strong evidence now to prove that she did not tell Sang Yu to do this, unless she finds someone to confront her.
"Who said that Sang Yu was my 'servant' maid, it must be something I told her to do? What I haven't done, I will never admit. The Dugu clan took a deep breath and said word by word, "I don't do anything wrong, I'm not afraid of confrontation, I believe that the patriarch and the clan elders will also return my innocence!" ”
Song Guogong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "I also believe that Madame will not do such a thing." ”
Dugu smiled slightly.
Ran Yan sat behind her, and she could only see a little side, but she could feel that her smile at this time must be very beautiful.
"Even so......," Xiao Shen said for a moment, "but we can't listen to anyone's one-sided words, and you have been wronged for a while in the courtyard and are not allowed to contact the outside world." ”
"Wait!"
"Wait!"
"Wait!"
Xiao Fang 'wanted' to call someone over and take the Dugu clan away, but Xiao Song, Ran Yan and Song Guogong stopped it in unison.
There is no problem with this temporary disposal itself, but the dignified Duchess was grounded, and with a person as arrogant and faceless as the Dugu clan, once the matter spreads, the result can be imagined.
This sudden change made everyone stunned for a moment, and Xiao was the first to react, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Now that the father and son have already come out, Ran Yan wanted to sit down, but saw Xiao Song give her a look. Ran Yan immediately understood that this was a good time for her performance to win the favor of the Dugu clan. To be continued.
