Chapter 15: Washing away slander

Wei Shuyao panicked, she stood up solemnly, and shouted at the woman opposite with a white face: "I didn't!" I didn't have an affair with anyone! ”

The woman at the fourth table became more and more stunned in Wei Shuyao's crying, but after touching the fierce eyes, she bit her lips and teeth fiercely, and resolutely pointed out: "Shu Niang, I am a close friend of you in the boudoir, why do you deceive me, isn't it because you have an affair with a foreign man that the marriage contract between you and Cheng Langjun is gone!" ”

"Do you dare to say that your poems and the man's proverbs weren't discovered a month ago?"

"Do you dare to say that the marriage contract was not withdrawn because of this?"

"Do you dare to swear to God that everything I said was false?!"

After asking three times in a row, Wei Shu pursed her lips, but she couldn't spit out a word.

Although the divorce was suppressed, there were still rumors and rumors, and everyone still had doubts about the marriage, but now they all believed Wei Shuyao's reaction.

For a moment, Wei Shuyao's ears were surrounded by gossip and accusations.

"No wonder the marriage contract is gone, it turned out that Cheng Langjun wore a big green hat."

"I'm afraid this hat has been passed on to Lord Huan now."

"Hahahaha!"

"What a slut vixen, I heard that she used the means to have a relationship with General Huan, and it turned out to be a veteran."

"It's a shame that Jianye has such a noble girl, phew!"

Grief, regret, and emotions were about to overflow from Cheng Yu's chest, he was almost about to blurt out, and his forward body was cut off by Cheng Huaibing. He pinched the acupuncture points on Cheng Yu's wrist and shouted in a low voice: "If you fall short, all your twenty years of forbearance will be ruined!" ”

The girl standing alone at the banquet did not see how the negative old lover retracted her body, how she lowered her eyes and escaped, she was like a lonely boat being beaten by the wind and rain, tears rolled down like beads of jade, and after a while, tears were all over the little face. A gust of wind blew, her hair stuck to her tears, and Wei Shuyao seemed to faint at any time.

"I didn't, I didn't...... I don't have one. ”

She stood there with blank eyes, muttering.

But no one paid attention to her.

It wasn't until a "snap" that Huan Xin stood up and dropped the wine glass, his sharp gaze swept over everyone in the banquet, and finally fixed on Cheng Huaibing's face, and the noise of the banquet stopped abruptly. Then, he walked to Wei Shuyao's side and smiled abruptly: "Why have you never heard of such a terrifying rumor?" ”

He was in a high position and was so powerful that for a while everyone had other ideas in their minds.

"No, I have proof, I have proof!" The woman, who had been cowardly before, seemed to be a different person, and entered a state of extreme excitement, waving her arms, taking out a stack of things from her sleeve pocket and scattering them in the air.

"Lord Huan, don't be deceived, this is given to me by Shu Niang herself, after the marriage, she wants me to destroy it for her, but I can't bear to see Lord Huan deceived, as a woman, how can I be worthy of you, the general!"

The crowd of onlookers looked at the things scattered on the ground, either directly or secretly, and became more and more convinced of this rumor.

Huan Xin raised his foot and picked up a few from the ground, the handwriting on the little lady's poems was beautiful, and the end of the pen was sharp. But if there is a slander, the description of the scene is also a glamorous word.

Look at another kind of obscene words on the paper, the words look good at first glance, but the strength is soft, the words are like their people, they must be cowardly people.

The two pieces of paper were put together, and Huan Xin also instantly understood Wei Shuyao's strategy, the help she asked for before was the main topic here, and the little lady's play had to be led by him Huan Xin.

Huan Xin lowered his head and asked Wei Shuyao in a soft voice, "I don't care what other people say, what about you?" ”

Wei Shuyao's body shook twice, Huan Xin stretched out his arm to support her, and almost held her in his arms, Yi and the county lord at the second table stared at the two of them, and the handkerchief in his hand was crumpled together.

"Although I am only a little learned and do not know how to be good at etiquette, I have never disobeyed my mother's teachings to do such things. I have never, never, privately written with anyone. The slave family has been weak since she was a child and rarely goes out, and she doesn't even know the origin of this lady's name, how could she let her destroy something. ”

Wei Shuyao burst into tears, with a face of pear blossoms and rain, nested in Huan Xin's arms like the first Dutch bloom, beautiful and unparalleled.

"You don't have to lie anymore, Shu Niang, can you recognize this thing as yours?" The woman was insistent and aggressive.

Wei Shuyao shrunk his shoulders and nodded timidly: "It's mine, but I really didn't write to anyone, really." After speaking, she looked up at Huan Xin, this cry, a few tears have made her show a full and moving beauty, anyone who sees it will feel pity.

Huan Xin fell into this whirlpool for a moment, and paused for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked, "When did you compose these poems?" ”

"It was made in the spring of the twelfth year of Yongping."

Huan Xin picked up the paper and looked at it carefully, and suddenly laughed loudly, he put the girl in his arms down on the chair, walked to the other table, and handed the paper in his hand to one of the middle-aged men.

"Young Eunuch Zhang, take a look, the paper in this woman's handwriting is something from the twelfth year of Yongping."

The man held it in both hands, carefully screened the two kinds of paper and said: "This paper is indeed produced in the twelfth year of Yongping, before the Spring Festival in the fourteenth year of Yongping, all the paper in the Southern Jin Dynasty was printed by the Shaofu Supervisor, and there was a secret seal and year of the Shaofu Supervisor, so it could not be faked." ”

Huan Xin evoked a mocking smile: "Young Eunuch Zhang has served in the Shaofu Prison for more than five years, what about the other one?" Huan didn't look like it was the same year. ”

Hearing this, Wei Shuyao stood up, poked her head to look at the place where Huan Xin was, her whole face showed hope and adoration, and her blue hand revealed her nervousness.

Zhang Shilang replied again: "Lord Huan is too modest, the other piece of paper in the man's handwriting is indeed not twelve years old, and there is no secret seal on it, it was made after the imperial court opened up the folk printing, and it will be fourteen years at the earliest." Seeing that this paper is made of Ganzhou bamboo, it will be pushed back for two years. ”

At the end of these words, the high-ranking officials present generally understood that the fornication letter was purely false and slanderous.

"No, no! The letter paper can be used on old paper that has been preserved in the past, and it cannot be proved that it was written before, no! The woman who had started the incident shouted again, but what she said made sense.

Yihe County Lord also said speciously after the woman finished speaking: "Wei Niangzi was slandered like this, and more powerful evidence is needed......

Wei Shuyao suddenly sobbed, and then slowly spoke: "I...... I...... I didn't want to make a big fuss, in fact, those poems were published in the 'Yan Magazine' under a pseudonym when I was thirteen years old, this is a letter sent by the boss yesterday to exchange manuscripts with me, and these poems are also mentioned, the county lord is right, the paper really can't prove my innocence. If you don't believe me, you can check the articles and poems in the journal in the thirteenth year of Yongping, and I can also go home and bring the letters that were commissioned to be submitted that year. ”

Everyone looked at the letter of the invitation that Wei Shuyao took out, and it was the same as what she said, and one person in the banquet suddenly remembered: "I have an impression, I forgot it a long time ago, I often read the 'Yan Magazine', and I do have some memories of these poems, and I saw it in the 'Yan Magazine' a few years ago." ”

With a witness, it will not be fake if you want to come to Wei Shuyao's request to submit a manuscript.

Huan Xin smiled contemptuously when he heard this, and said coldly: "Wei Niangzi's so-called love poems have a one-to-one correspondence in each poem, that is, how can the one-to-one correspondence span more than three years!" ”

He turned around suddenly, and shot at the woman who provoked the incident, as if the tiger and leopard had devoured the other party: "Slandering Mrs. Sanpin, do you know what the crime is!" ”

The woman collapsed to the ground when she heard this, and after shaking violently, she suddenly raised her head and laughed wildly: "Haha! Ha ha! It's the people of the Wei Mansion, it's them! It was they who told me, and I was not voluntary, I was not voluntary! It's ......"

"How can there be such a wicked person in the world, quickly pull people down so as not to defile the wedding!" Yihe County Lord suddenly interrupted, and before she could speak, a slave beside her had already stuffed a piece of cloth into the woman's mouth. Cheng Huaibing waved his hand, and several slaves dragged the woman down, she kept whimpering and struggling, but no one cared anymore.

Wei Shuyao looked at the woman's embarrassed posture, and then looked at Yi and the county lord, and a guess surged in her heart.

In the back and forth, this matter has come to an end for the time being.

Cheng Yu was drunk after toasting and was sent back to the wedding room by the servant, leaving only Cheng Huaibing present.

Although the banquet was calm, the discussion during the banquet was endless, but the topic of this discussion became that someone in the Wei Mansion had done such a thing and wanted to harm the lady in his own mansion.

In the midst of everyone's speculation, the banquet was over, and it was time to go home.

Just as everyone got up and was about to leave, there was a sudden deafening sound of gongs and drums outside the Prime Minister's mansion, mixed with a man's hoarse roar.

"The grass people avenge their grievances! Grass people avenge their grievances! Sue the Prime Minister's Mansion for ignoring human life and buying murder! ”

The stone broke the earth, and everyone was shocked!

Wei Shuyao realized it instantly, and she looked at Huan Xin in shock...... How could things develop like this, she obviously told Huan Xin that she didn't plan to make a big deal about it, just to prevent another backhand from being planted in the future.

Her beautiful eyes were wide open, and she forgot to cover them for a while, much cuter than her deliberately disguised appearance, Huan Xin's eyebrows and eyes stretched a little, and then she raised her head to look at Cheng Huaibing.

As soon as the movement outside the door sounded, Cheng Huaibing immediately stared at Huan Xin, and at this time, Huan Xin's eyes were unconcealed, almost indicating that he had contributed to this matter. Cheng Huaibing knew that Huan Xin must have the intention of pursuing this matter to the end, he thought about it in his heart, took a step forward and said loudly: "Since you have arrived in front of my mansion, let him come in and see what the grievances are, what is Lord Huan's opinion?" ”

Huan Xin also walked a few steps forward and stood next to Cheng Huaibing and said: "My lord is frank and Huan admires, if what he said is false, slandering the court officials is a big crime to kill the head, and there will be a law to deal with it at that time." ”

Cheng Huaibing stroked his beard and nodded, and sent someone to bring the people outside the door in, as soon as the people entered the door, Cheng Huaibing's figure shook for a moment.

How so?

People have already been dealt with, how can they suddenly come back from the dead!
