Chapter 207: Strange
"Okay, Mama Hu, let someone escort him to the gate of the palace." Gu Wanyin raised her voice, already impatient.
Mama Hu responded loudly, and then went out in a hurry, and after a while, she led someone over.
The man's face was already pale, his eyes were sloppy, and he was about to run. But is it that the nursing home takes the silver of the moon for nothing? At that moment, the two people grabbed the man from left to right. Twisted up.
Gu Wanyin sank her face and snorted coldly: "What's the matter, don't you dare to let you sue the royal court?" Do you really think that Zhennan Wangfu is a soft persimmon? Leave it to your own free time? ”
After panicking for a moment, and seeing that he had no hope of escaping, the man turned his head to look at the woman and called out in a sad voice, "Sister-in-law, save me!" ”
The woman was also panicked, and at this time she also forgot about the others, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Princess, we have no intention of offending, and we made such a big mistake in a moment of confusion." Please also ask the princess, you have a lot, spare us! The woman was also in a hurry, kowtowed honestly, and made a "bump" sound, and her forehead was already red in a word.
Gu Wanyin frowned, and with some reluctance, she turned her eyes away from looking at the woman, and said loudly: "Enough, it's not that I won't let you go, you don't want such an opportunity?" In response to Tianfu, you said that our officials protect each other, and go to sue the emperor, but they don't dare. So what are you going to do? Could it be that it has been in our house nàoshi all the time? After saying this, he gave Bimei another color, and said, "You don't have to kowtow to me, your brother is right, I don't have a destiny on me now." If you do this, it looks like we have bullied you. Bimei, help her up. ”
Bimei immediately bypassed the screen, picked the woman up, and pressed her to sit on the chair. But that's it. It made the woman even more restless.
"No, no, no, we won't sue the royal court, let's wait for the decision of the Great Master of the Blue Sky!" The woman waved her hand in a panic. His face was a mess, and he looked a little pitiful. "And don't dare nàoshi anymore! The princess and spare us once! ”
The man was twisted and couldn't move, and he was already terrified to the extreme. Hearing the woman say this, she also showed a little pleading: "Yes, princess." We don't dare anymore - we can even go to the yamen and say that the yamen will not investigate the cause of my brother's death, but just treat it as if it never happened! ”
The man was really panicked, and at this time, he didn't remember the little abacus in the other party's heart at all, and only the idea of how to save Xing's life was left;
Gu Wanyin raised her eyebrows, folded her hands together, and changed her posture leisurely. He was not in a hurry to answer, but pondered for a moment before he said, "Oh? Do you want to withdraw the lawsuit? ”
The man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, we don't dare to go against the princess again!" He only thought that he could save Xing's life, and did not sue Na Laoshzi, but he did not see the look of the woman next to him looking at him with a look of surprise.
"Hmph," Gu Wanyin snorted coldly, and her voice suddenly became stern: "You mean, our Zhou family is going to blackmail you!" I'm telling you, a life is at stake! You said to withdraw the lawsuit? You should be a yamen, can your family open it? You say that people die after eating what is in our house. Now that you don't want to cause trouble and don't investigate, is it possible that our Zhou family will not be able to carry the black pot? Let me tell you, even if you don't want the government to check again, our Zhou family is also unwilling! This thing. We have to find out! Those who tried in vain to frame the Zhou family, don't daydream there! ”
Such a loud drink made the people in this hall stunned. When the man said that he was willing to withdraw the lawsuit, everyone thought that Gu Wanyin would agree. But I didn't expect it......
Especially the woman, who looked at the screen in a daze, as if she had seen Gu Wanyin, her face was full of complexity.
Taking a deep breath, the woman suddenly stood up, threw herself into the middle of the hall and knelt down again, and kowtowed solemnly: "The little woman thanked the princess!" If the cause of my man's death can be found out, the little woman will be grateful! If she really has nothing to do with the Zhou family, the little woman is willing to be a cow and a horse in the Zhou family! ”
In the eyes of the poor people, this is the best reward, right?
However, Gu Wanyin was dismissive of this: "My Zhou family has countless slaves, so I don't need you to do this." At that time, as long as I return the innocence of my Zhou family, it will be enough. Until then, I hope you don't nàoshi anymore, and don't go around saying that my Zhou family hurt your husband! ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, her face was a little embarrassed, but she quickly kowtowed solemnly and said, "It was the little woman who was confused for a while, and this offended the princess." offended the Zhou family, and now that he knows that he was wrong, he naturally doesn't dare to do it again. ”
Gu Wanyin pondered for a moment, and suddenly spoke again: "In this way, I still have something to ask you, how about we talk about it privately?" ”
The woman was suddenly panicked, but she also hesitated for a moment, obviously a little afraid that the Zhou family would do something unfavorable to them. But soon she made up her mind, gritted her teeth and looked at the screen firmly: "But it's up to the princess to decide." The woman was helpless when she said this—it was good that they had done something like that before, and that they had not been embarrassed. At this time, Gu Wanyin's request was not too much, so even if it might be dangerous, she couldn't refuse.
Gu Wanyin glanced at the man and said lightly: "Let's invite this man to the concierge for tea and snacks first." But before you give it to him, you must check it out, and don't let people turn around and say that there is something wrong with the things in our house. ”
The man was already relieved, but when he heard this, he suddenly became terrified again, and was about to resist but was held down and dragged away quickly.
In the huge flower hall, there were only a group of mothers-in-law and the woman muzi left, since they were all women and weak children, there was no need to set up a screen, and at that moment Gu Wanyin asked people to remove the screen first.
When the woman saw Gu Wanyin, she almost didn't dare to look at it directly, but Rao only glanced at it in a hurry, but she also smacked her tongue - this is the princess? is so young, although his appearance is not top-notch, but his demeanor is so extraordinary, at first glance, he is different from them ordinary people. The clothes worn on the body are plain and elegant, although they are not bright colors, and there are no golden hairpins on their heads, but they are still extravagant;
The woman suddenly became a little more restrained. You know, the girls here are better dressed than them! Although their clothes were clean, they were worn and old, and there were so many patches that they couldn't even see the original color of their clothes!
Not to mention the woman, even the two children, they didn't dare to move more, and they were very restrained and uneasy.
Gu Wanyin softened her voice and said to the woman: "You sit down, I'm just asking you a few words." By the way, what's your name? ”
The woman hesitated for a moment before she said, "Little woman Xue Liu, these are my two children. Butterfly sister and dog baby. "Poor families give their children more cheap names in order to make a living. It's just that they can't be put on the stage.
Gu Wanyin nodded, and said, "Your husband did eat our Zhou family's things before he died?" And now what about the corpses? Where are you from? Is there a place to live now? "Although I know that the body should have been stored in the yamen for an autopsy at this time, it doesn't hurt to ask.
Hearing Gu Wanyin ask about her husband, Xue Liu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and Xue Liu replied: "It is true that he died after eating that porridge and wotou." I ate it in the afternoon, and I went in the evening. The body has now been taken away by the Yamen. As for our mothers and sons, the family had been temporarily sheltered in a dilapidated house in the west of the city, but now they don't know where to go, but they are still there. ”
"Oh." After Gu Wanyin listened, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then she asked again: "Who is that man?" ”
Xue Liu hesitated for a moment, seemed to think about it for a while, and then replied vaguely: "It's my husband's younger brother." ”
Gu Wanyin saw that Xue Liu looked a little flustered and unwilling to say more, so she knew that there must be something greasy in it, but she didn't ask much at the moment. Since Xue Liu refused to say, it was in vain to ask. It's better to go back and send someone to check it yourself.
"Do you have a coil to live on?" Although she knew about Xue Liu's situation, Gu Wanyin still asked directly.
Sure enough, Xue Liu's face was ashamed, and he snorted: "The little woman's whole family suffered from the flood so they had to go to the city to see if they could make a living. When he came out, everything in the house was flooded and did not entangle. Otherwise, I won't go to pick up the porridge and rice......"
Gu Wanyin nodded, and said in her heart: It is really no different from what she guessed. At that moment, he asked, "The rice porridge, did you eat it all the others, or did your husband eat it?" "If life is so difficult, it shouldn't be just her husband who eats it, but if the whole family eats, why are they okay and her husband is dead?
Xue Liu's face also showed a hint of confusion when he heard this: "Eat, our whole family has eaten." It's just that for some reason, it's just my husband ......" Remembering the state of her husband's death, Xue Liu's eyes suddenly burst into tears again.
"In that case, why is it a matter of porridge?" Gu Wanyin's face sank, and her voice couldn't help but be a little sharp.
Xue Liu panicked and hurriedly waved his hand: "It's really a problem with that porridge!" I wouldn't dare lie about that! Because we had received a lot of food, and it was pitiful to see a stray dog, my husband fed the dog the few mouthfuls of porridge that were left. The dog died in the night! ”
Gu Wanyin was stunned. frowned and was a little puzzled - if this is the case, it really means that it is a problem with porridge. But it still can't be explained, why the whole family ate porridge, but only the husband died.
Not only did Gu Wanyin look pensive, but even the others were surprised—this matter was inevitably too weird.
