Chapter 20: Angry Tear (I)
Obviously, the Cao family came to the fence bamboo garden to ask about the crime.
Although she knew that the Fence Bamboo Garden was not easy to deal with, but for the sake of Beifu Daquan, the Cao family had to come to hold her accountable, she was afraid that the East Mansion would blame her, saying that she was protecting her shortcomings and brewing natural disasters without management, not to mention that the old lady still had a layer of anger.
Right now, Cao's appearance is full of provocation and contempt; So, she said viciously, "Do you know that you have committed a capital crime? ”
Yi Linglong originally poked her head out at the curtain, and when she heard Cao say this, she put away her smiling face, walked out, and sat next to the door, squinting at Cao, but she greeted the girl in her yard and said, "Don't stand here, people didn't come to look for you, wait inside." The lady is employing people! ”
The girl in the bamboo garden, you look at me, I look at you, I don't dare to move.
Seeing them like this, Yi Linglong sighed and said, "As soon as we monsters meet the immortals, we have no mana!" Yes! Don't say anyone, I know looking for me. Then I ask, what capital crime I have committed! ”
Speaking of which, Yi Linglong looked very wronged, slapping the door frame, with the meaning of making a fuss: "You say, what capital crime I have committed!" One is not to kill people, two is not to set fires, and three is not to provoke those flowers and plants. How can I be condemned? ”
Cao Shi snorted and sneered a few times, pointed at Yi Linglong, and said, "Don't think that no one has seen what you have done. Grandma Dongfu fell into the lake, but you pushed it in! On weekdays, you have a little bit of kung fu, and no one cares about you, and you are getting more and more killed! I still want to deny it now! Whether you admit it or not, I have to have someone kidnap you and go to the government to surrender today. ”
After hearing this, Yi Linglong laughed and said, "Ouch! Oh my gods! There are more people who know kung fu, why don't you see you say that you are killing someone? I'll do a little bit of effort, and you'll frame me with nonsense. Seeing that my lady's position is not as high as yours, I am a lowly head guard, so I am easy to bully, right? ”
Cao's "you" stacked so much that his chest was stuffy.
Gui Yuan and Yu Yuan were afraid that the Cao family would be angry, so they both stepped forward to support them.
Zhuang Ying couldn't bear it anymore, took two steps forward, and persuaded softly: "Madam, this is none of the matter of the girl in the bamboo garden!" ”
Cao glanced at Zhuang Ying urgently, pushed Guiyuan and Yuyuan away, took two steps back, pointed at Yi Linglong with his left and Zhuang Ying with his right, and said sadly: "Oh, which one of you is here?" I said, "I strode closer to Zhuang Ying, poked a fingertip into Zhuang Ying's eyes, and said angrily: "Are you a dog's eye or a toad's eye here?" The elbow is turned outward, whose one eats and whose use? The old lady is upside down and raises you a white-eyed wolf! ”
Zhuang Ying was cowardly by nature, and the Cao family was so powerful, so she didn't dare to explain, so she only looked at her Linglong and wronged her.
Yi Linglong could also see that Zhuang Ying wanted to help herself, but she was the daughter of the Cao family, and she didn't need to take her to heart and be grateful to her.
Then, Yi Linglong said lightly: "Don't talk about the white-eyed wolf, my Erlang God in the mortal world has been killed." What do you say that a wolf is not a wolf, even if it is a dog, I advise you not to raise it, lest the dog be in a hurry and bite the owner in the future. ”
Cao Shi hated: "Don't be complacent too early. You want to be interesting, now go to Dongfu with me for a walk, and make your words clear to the lady and uncle of Dongfu, and the rest, if you want to be buried in the water, listen to the law, you talk to me, I don't have that effort. I'm afraid that I will let people take you to the government, and then you won't be able to say a word. ”
Yi Linglong said: "I don't have the ability to go to heaven and earth, what are you afraid of when you go to Dongfu, just go!" It's just that I don't like other people's threats, I won't go this time, even if one hundred and eighty carry a big sedan chair, I won't go, girl! If you want to report to the official, just report it, I'm not afraid! If you say that you have committed a crime and killed someone, call a witness to tell me how I killed it! I'm so damn you know. ”
Cao Shi said angrily: "Ouch, ouch! Amazing! Listen, people are looking for no witnesses, and they have denied it. Guiyuan Yuyuan, go find the second girl, let the second girl come and say, why did she push your grandmother into the water! ”
Gui Yuan and Yu Yuan didn't move, and they were roughly afraid that they would be in danger if they left. Na Guiyuan moved closer to Zhuang Ying slightly, grabbed her with his hand, and then said to Cao's family: "Madam, the three girls are also playing by the lake, and the three girls can testify." ”
Cao Shi rolled his eyes and stared at Zhuang Ying in disgust.
Zhuang Ying suddenly shrank up, slurping, unable to speak.
Cao Shi was anxious and urged: "You say! ”
Zhuang Ying held back for a while, stomped her feet and said, "I'...... I said it! It's my wife who doesn't want to believe me! ”
Cao Shi was stunned: "What did you say? But she pushed your sister-in-law into the water? ”
Zhuang Ying said: "I didn't say that she pushed it." ”
Cao closed his eyes in disgust and motioned to Guiyuan: "Go and call the second girl." Go and inform the lord again, I won't go anywhere today, just sit here and guard, not afraid that they will run away with their baggage! ”
Guiyuan was about to listen to the order to call someone, when suddenly the voice of the second girl, Zhuang Xuan, floated in from outside the courtyard and said, "Mrs. doesn't need to call me, I'm here." ”
Everyone turned their eyes and saw Zhuang Xuan with a smile on his face, and walked in quickly with confidence, and before they could reach them, Zhuang Ying walked over to greet them first.
Zhuang Ying pleaded and grabbed Zhuang Qi and said, "Sister, how did you pass the word to your wife!" Tell your wife the truth! ”
Zhuang Xuan was surprised: "What nonsense are you talking about, what did I say?" ”
Cao Shi had just suppressed his arrogance a little, and he also approached Zhuang Xuan, grabbed her with one hand, and pushed Zhuang Ying away at the same time, and said, "You said, did you see her pushing your sister-in-law into the water?" ”
Zhuang Xuan's face did not change, and he said seriously: "It's not!" This girl is very vicious, thinking that there is no one next to her, so she pushes it down with one hand. I saw my sister-in-law struggling in the water, drowning and disappearing. I just went looking for someone, and just now I came in, and the housekeeper sent someone to fish there, but I don't know if I have caught it now. ”
After listening to this, Cao Shi was triumphant, turned his head to Yi Linglong and smiled: "Can you hear clearly?" ”
Yi Linglong was as if she was listening to a story, engrossed, as if the mother and daughter were telling a shocking story with twists and turns, which made her excited and listened attentively.
Cao thought that Yi Linglong would surrender, and said happily: "If the person is not rescued, he must still be in the lake." Denial is not deniable, and it is a matter of time before the official is reported. Now, let's go to Dongfu with us first, and then explain it clearly, maybe I will look at the faces of the people in the house and ask for a love for you, so that you can suffer a little less. ”
Yi Linglong pretended to be pretending to be and said, "Alas, I thank you for dying!" I said, girl, which hand did you see me pushing? You point out, I'll find a knife to chop! ”
Zhuang Xuan said firmly: "Right hand! ”
Yi Linglong couldn't help laughing, pointed horizontally at the group of people in front of her, and said sarcastically: "Well framed!" You don't want to think about it, I'm here, right? Is it called the flower tender chicken? The big grandmother's girl isn't there? It's a joke that this kind of trick still wants to arrest me. Sister, I walk the rivers and lakes, what kind of wind and waves have I never seen, just rely on the gold master in your mansion to say a few nonsense to take me, to report to the official? After a slight pause, he said: "Then I will say a happy word to the gods, and I don't want to play with you around the bend, I am fishing on the shore, and I heard a few noisy chickens and ducks calling, I wondered, is it not good to fish well, what is the trouble, get up and take a look, ouch hey, it's terrible, this chicken and duck is unreasonable, not human, isn't it?" insisted on bickering and slippery, pushing the people on the side into the water. There will be people who will frame me and blame me. ”
Zhuang Xuan said angrily: "When death is on the verge of death, you can still talk quickly." Urgently pleaded with Cao: "Madam, what are we talking about with her, anyway, my sister-in-law can't catch her in the lake, first arrest her and go to the official to talk about it, I'm not afraid that she won't recruit if she is punished!" Such hard-mouthed bones are cheap and afraid of softness, and Hugh wants to listen to her nonsense. ”
Cao Shi seemed a little hesitant, and said: "We don't raise chickens and ducks in the lake, there are a few mandarin ducks, because of the proximity to the fence bamboo garden, we can't raise mandarin ducks there, when will we raise chickens and ducks?" ”
Yi Linglong held back a smile and said seriously: "Yes, when did that group of chickens and ducks come, and they are still so strong." I can't think of it. What the hell is a mandarin duck, I am a child of a poor family, I have never seen or heard of it. ”
Zhuang Xuan sneered, beckoned to his girl Wan Jin and said, "Wan Jin, go and call someone to take her down!" Don't let the tiger get angry and hurt his wife. ”
Cao didn't stop it, but acquiesced.
Wan Jin was about to leave, Yi Linglong clapped his hands and said, "Go!" Invite all the officials and tell them that it was your girl who pushed people into the water. I'm seeing it clearly! Her left hand pushes! I still think the scoundrel is my right hand! Blind dog's eye on you! ”
Wan Jin didn't dare to leave and stopped.
Zhuang Xuan said angrily: "Mrs., don't listen to her nonsense. It was the person she pushed who bit me back. He grabbed Zhuang Ying again to correct: "Sister, you told your wife, you are with me, and you have seen her pushing her sister-in-law into the water!" ”
Zhuang Ying's face was confused and at a loss.
Zhuang Xuan couldn't hear the response, pushed Zhuang Ying away, and said, "My sister is scared like this, it's all your fault!" ”
Yi Linglong nodded fiercely, sneered, and said nothing, turned her head, lifted the curtain and entered the house.
Seeing this scene, Cao Shi and the others didn't dare to move and stop talking, they looked at the door curtain tightly, and after a while, they looked at the girls and mothers-in-law standing on the side, they all stood in horror, and their mouths trembled.
At that time, Yi Linglong made a voice from the house and said: "The people in the fence bamboo garden have all rolled into the house, don't accompany you on an errand without money!" ”
The girls listened to the call, stomped their feet and panicked, and you pushed me into the house one after another.
Cao Shi looked at it in amazement, full of anger.
When the girl named Sour Plum walked into the curtain, she stopped slightly, turned around and wanted to talk to Cao Shi and the others, but unexpectedly, Yi Linglong angrily reprimanded inside: "Sour Plum! Still stunned for what to do, come in and burn incense to send the plague god! ”
Sour Mei sighed and went in.
After listening to this, Cao Shi said again and again: "Listen! Listen up! ”
Gui Yuan said: "Madam, why don't we go to the pavilion and wait first, and see if the housekeeper will pick them up?" The girl beeswax didn't know where to hide, so she came to confront her, not afraid of her denial. ”
At this time, the Cao family calmed down, and looked at Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying's two daughters silently, and then Gui Yuan reminded him correctly, after all, Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying are their own family, even if the evidence is conclusive, they can't be convinced, and they have to come forward with the grandmother's girl.
But now that I'm out of the yard, what if the people here steal it? Cao thought at the same time.
Gui Yuan said again: "Madam, the matter is related to the Eastern Mansion, we can't be careless." ”
Cao sighed in his heart: "Yes! It's about Dongfu! "In order to envelop the Eastern Mansion, I did everything possible to break up the people of Jinghua Xie and planted forces there, and now such things have happened, and they are still in their own mansions, isn't it shooting themselves in the foot?
It's hard to get closer to Dongfu, and now I'm busy in vain!
Cao Shi deeply regretted it, and said: "Okay, what is she doing when she comes to the lake, wait for me, I'll be done talking to her when I'm done." Why bother! A life was wronged in vain, and the body was not found. ”
Before they could finish their words, a series of heavy footsteps were heard outside the courtyard, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was the butler and a servant.
The butler's face was full of astonishment, panting, and he exclaimed, "Madam." At the same time, he held a wet and muddy embroidered shoe in his hand.
Cao Shi looked at it in shock.
The housekeeper said, "Madam, there is a shoe on the shore near the fence bamboo garden, you can see if it belongs to the eldest grandmother." ”
Cao didn't mind if the shoes were dirty or wet, so he quickly snatched them from the butler's hand and took a look. The upper is soaked, and it can still be seen that it is a new fabric and fashionable embroidery, that is for Dongfu to take a kiss, she prepared a suit, who else is not a grandmother?
Zhuang Xuan glanced at it and said unswervingly: "It's the eldest sister-in-law's shoes!" ”
Cao's heels were weak, his knees bent down, and Guiyuan and Yuyuan's eyes were fast, so they hurriedly held on.
The housekeeper said: "Madam, the beeswax girl can't be found, do you want to add more people to find all the house?" ”
Cao waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to, and only said: "You don't need to look for it, go and invite the old lady to come, and the East Mansion will invite you together." ”
The housekeeper was a little worried, and hesitated: "The old lady has not been in good spirits these days, or else, report it to Dongfu first!" ”
Cao said: "No, you have to invite the old lady to come." ”
The butler shook his head and retreated.
Guiyuan and Yuyuan helped Cao Shi to sit down on the cover of the barren well in the courtyard, and Zhuang Xuan waited beside him, with a smile on his face.
Zhuang Ying still looked panicked and distracted, and she squeezed the girl's purple mandarin hand tightly.
Zi Yuan was afraid that Zhuang Ying would speak again, so she persuaded in a low voice: "Girl, don't say anything, listen to Tai * Pai!" ”
Zhuang Ying was full of tears and said sadly: "No matter how you arrange it, you can't save my sister-in-law's life." Sister-in-law, we pushed it down! Isn't it wronged? ”
Unexpectedly, when Cao heard this, he angrily reprimanded Zhuang Ying: "What you don't see, what are you talking about!" ”
When he boarded, Zhuang Ying knelt on the ground and cried to Cao's family: "Mrs! ”
Zhuang Xuan was afraid that Zhuang Ying would be rehabilitated and explained, so he hurriedly stepped forward to block the Cao family, stretched out his hand to pull Zhuang Ying, and whispered hatefully: "Don't talk nonsense!" Then he laughed and said: "What is my sister kneeling for, if you want to kneel, the cheap girl in it will come out and kneel!" Hurry up, and if you're afraid, go back first! ”
Zhuang Ying looked at Zhuang Xuan.
Zhuang Xuan glared at Zhuang Ying angrily, and although he was holding her with both hands, he pinched her wrists hard.
Zhuang Ying was originally frightened and uneasy, and she was wronged for Yi Linglong, and her tears never stopped, but now she was pinched by Zhuang Ying, and her tears became more and more aggravated.
