Chapter 148: Killing a Hundred Spirits
"Aunt Xin, if no one instructs you, I really don't believe that you would have the courage to do such a thing!"
The second lady asked as she pressed forward.
It's good that you are Cheng Nianxi, and there is such a loyal dog by your side.
"I did it alone! I don't care if the second lady believes it or not!
You are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, bullying the eldest lady in everything, and you don't treat us subordinates as human beings!
I've wanted to get rid of you for a long time! ”
"Just you?" The second lady sneered: "You only want to use this kind of subordinate means in everything, and you are also worthy?" ”
"Don't quarrel yet, Jiang, tell me, who is instigating you behind this matter?"
The old lady looked at Jiang Pantao.
"It was Aunt Xin who told me that everything was what the eldest lady meant......"
"Yes! It was the slave maid who deceived Aunt Jiang in the name of the eldest lady, otherwise, she would not cooperate with the slave maid! ”
Aunt Xin hurriedly explained.
"Is that really the case?" The old lady asked.
"I... I don't know, from beginning to end, the eldest lady has never shown her face......
It's always been just Aunt Xin who has passed the word on her behalf. ”
Jiang said hesitantly.
"In this way, it is Aunt Xin's intention to pretend to be the master, and take the opportunity to use Aunt Jiang to bring down the second lady."
A concubine chimed in.
"Yes......"
Aunt Xin closed her eyes.
"Master, the concubine really doesn't know anything, if she had known that Aunt Xin had this intention, she would have tried her best to prevent her from making a big mistake.
Now that the matter has come to this, it is also strange that the concubine has no way to discipline her! ”
The eldest lady stood up and knelt beside Aunt Xin.
Seeing that the prime minister just wanted to open his mouth to say something, the firecracker hurriedly rushed ahead and asked again.
"By the way, Aunt Jiang, Bailing's death is also related to you, right?"
"You.... I don't know what you're talking about....."
Jiang shook his head again and again after hearing this.
"Bai Ling inadvertently broke through your collusion with Aunt Xin, and overheard your conversation before you killed him, didn't he?"
"I didn't! I didn't! Don't slander me! ”
Jiang Pantao refused to admit it.
"Master, I brought a post-mortem for Bailing, and he can testify."
"What..... What the? ”
When Jiang Pantao heard this, she always sat on the ground.
"Call up!" The prime minister's face was still bloodless.
He was brought up by the subordinates and knelt aside.
"To tell you the truth, how did Aunt Jiang buy you to burn the strangulation marks on Bailing's wrist!"
Firecracker asked.
"It's... It was Aunt Jiang who gave me fifty taels of silver and asked me to destroy all the scars on the corpse. ”
He replied tremblingly.
"I went to the hut that day and found the bottles and jars under the wooden bed, were they the medicinal powder you used to destroy the corpses?"
"Yes.... That day, before the old lady came, I mixed sulfuric acid with a few bottles of medicinal powder and poured it all over the body.
Xiang pretends to be burned. ”
"What happened when the body was carried out?"
"There are many whip marks and sharp weapon wounds on Bai Ling's corpse, and there are deep strangulation marks on his wrists and ankles.
It seems that he was tied up for a long time before his death. ”
"Aunt Jiang, what else do you have to say!"
Firecracker looked at Jiang and asked sharply.
"Yes, I killed it, I was talking to Aunt Xin in the room, I didn't want to be hit by Bailing, Aunt Xin warned me that this matter must not be spread out, and told me to kill people.
I didn't dare, so she took a mask to help me tie up the lark and throw it to the hut, we were afraid that we would not be able to deal with her after killing her, and we were worried that the body would be traced after being found.
So she set a fire in the hut and burned her to death......"
"Wow! You guys are so inhuman! The old lady angrily raised her crutches and beckoned to Jiang's head,
With a stick down, Jiang's forehead suddenly broke and bled out.
None of the people in the courtyard dared to step forward to stop it, but it was An Ning and the firecrackers who supported the old lady to prevent a hole from being dug out of Jiang's head.
"Alas! Aunt Xin! I can't imagine that you are old, and you don't know how to accumulate virtue for yourself and your family!
Calculated and vicious! The old lady sighed and knocked on the crutches: "Prime Minister, what do you want to do?" ”
"Aunt Xin will be immediately imprisoned in the Criminal Department, and she will be tried again tomorrow!"
The prime minister flicked his sleeves: "As for Jiang's disobedience to women's morals, mutilating his own biological children, intending to blame others, and burning a human life, it is also a heinous crime!"
Put the maidservant mask in prison with the Jiang family! ”
"Sir! Master! Please, please let me go out of the house and see Gu Lang again......"
After hearing this, Jiang climbed to the feet of the prime minister and begged bitterly.
Is this woman really stupid or fake, and at this moment she is still thinking about her Gu Lang, who has already cooled down?
"Humph! If you don't say it, I forgot it, come and drag Gu Gongzi's body to the mass grave, there is no need to worry about the future! ”
The prime minister glared at Jiang one last time, kicked her aside, and turned to leave.
"Sir! You can't do this, sir! Gu Lang, he is innocent! He's innocent......"
The wails of the Jiang clan in the courtyard were endless, and the ears of the people in the courtyard were buzzing.
Compared with Jiang's crying, Aunt Xin was quite calm, just silently wiped her tears without saying a word, and let the guards drag her out of the door.
"Let's go back first......"
The old lady waved her hand and stood up: "Remember, don't chew the root of your tongue, if you spread today's events, otherwise I will definitely investigate to the end!" ”
"Yes..... Old lady ....."
When they saw that the farce was over, they were bored, so they went back to their gardens.
"Humph! Don't look at Aunt Xin's old woman so vicious, but she is still loyal to the Lord, and she actually takes the responsibility on herself! ”
The second lady walked on the way back to South Park with firecrackers and Ruyu.
"Now that Aunt Xin has confessed her guilt and died, she can only escape by the one in the West Garden....."
The firecrackers followed behind, and he still remembered the flawless look on the eldest lady's face.
"It's really unwilling, it can be served in one pot!"
Ruyu pursed her lips.
"A pot end? You're thinking too lightly....."
Firecracker smiled and shook his head, how could the eldest lady be so easy to deal with.
"Wait...."The second lady suddenly raised her hand.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" Ruyu asked.
"The one in front, is it Zhong Ting?"
"It's... It's Aunt Zhong..."
"Call her to me!"
"Yes...."
In the middle of the night, Zhong Ting was brought over by Ruyu, and when she saw the second lady, she hurriedly saluted and greeted her in fright.
"Sister to Sister Qi to say goodbye...."
"Yo, look at who this is, when I was watching the excitement in the front yard just now, didn't you still stir up the excitement?
Standing on Jiang's side, spitting at me together, what's the matter? Aunt Jiang was sent to prison,
You can't stay any longer and are in a hurry to clear up the relationship? ”
"No... How dare my sister, what my sister said before was all arranged by Aunt Jiang in my sister's ear.....
She always pretends to be pitiful in front of the big guy, and she wins people's hearts, and her sister is also deceived by that slut! ”
"Deceived by her? Looking at Sister Zhong's clever face, I didn't expect that someone would lead me by the nose...."
"Yes, it's my sister who is stupid, it's my sister who is stupid! will be put by the Jiang family,
My sister is magnanimous, so don't be like a stupid person like my sister. ”
Zhong Ting lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
"That's it, you don't have a heart, go back and think about it behind closed doors, these days, don't come out to wander! Wake up! ”
"Yes.... My sister said goodbye first....."
Zhong Ting only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, there was no displeasure on her face, and she left in a hurry with the maid.
The second lady's measurement has really become much bigger, and now she just let Zhong Ting leave after just a few words of ridicule in front of her.
Before that, even if she didn't pull out her nails, she would be rewarded with a few ear scrapers!
"Alas! I'm so tired, I don't want to sleep! ”
"It's been tossing for most of the night, who can sleep!"
Ruyu took the cold tea down, intending to change it to a new pot.
"No need, I don't drink .....," the second lady waved her hand and said:
"I'm still very relieved to see the old lady hurrying to relieve me today."
"The old lady has always been black and white."
Firecrackers stand aside.
"Don't say it, the last time the old lady came, I said what you taught me, and it really worked."
"What's that?" Ruyu stretched out her head curiously.
"I told the old lady that day that even though I am in deep trouble in the house now and have to be on guard everywhere, I will never harm anyone.
Even if I was poisoned and discarded in the barren mountains, even if she tried to kill me step by step, I would not stain her blood and dirty my hands and heart.
I waited for the evil fox to show its tail on its own, and then I caught it and let it reap its own consequences. ”
"Oh, I see."
Ruyu nodded as if she didn't understand.
"The old lady is devoted to the Buddha, she doesn't want to be infected with murder, and she doesn't like people who are angry, if you want her to accept the second lady, you must first comfort the old lady's heart,
Besides, this is not deception, we really didn't take the initiative to harm people, we just waited for them to take the bait. ”
Firecrackers helped the second lady make the mattress and put down the curtains.
"What should Qiaohe do?" The second lady turned her head and asked.
"Qiaohe is also meritorious in this matter, and he followed us to make a play in front of Yunyang, so naturally he should be rewarded."
Firecrackers replied.
"Yes, after they picked up the golden hairpin and sold it and met the man in black that day, Qiaohe told me about it.
This time, we were prepared for a long time and deliberately lured the cloud duck into the trap. ”
Ruyu said with a smile.
"The mansion can't keep her, give her more gold and silver, tell her to move out of the imperial city with her family, and find a place to live in peace....."
The second lady frowned.
"What about the cloud duck?" Ruyu asked.
"Naturally, it has to be dealt with by Nanyuan, otherwise Qiaohe's matter can't be concealed."
"I'll do it tomorrow, first take twenty responsibilities, and then get out of the house....."
Firecracker said.
"That's it, whatever you want, I'll go to sleep first."
The second lady yawned and slipped into the gauze tent.
Firecrackers followed Ruyu back to the small courtyard, although he tossed for a day and a night, he couldn't sleep.
Listening to the rooster crow three times outside the window, her eyelids gradually closed.
