Volume 1: The First Birth (The Future Is Unclear, Friend and Foe Are Inseparable; Clues to the real murderer) Chapter 114: Mrs. Tai's judgment
In less than an hour, the elders of the Shifang clan have arrived one after another, and now the Xuxiao Hall is even fuller, not only that, but Liu Yuyi, the patriarch, finally rushed back from Wei Xiangfu, but because he didn't understand what happened, Mrs. Wei was still responsible for presiding over the trial, He Ye had witnessed this identity, but he did not avoid it, but Binu had no need to be present, and was allowed to retire, only Eleven Niang and Liu Yinru were directly related to the incident, and they still stayed in the hall, and of course, the ironclad accomplice of Jinzhan was still on his knees. Although the wound of the severed finger had been treated, it did not reduce the stinging pain, and because of the fear in his heart, the whole person trembled more than before.
After everyone took their seats, after listening to Mrs. Wei explain what had happened, they had already made a rough judgment in their hearts, and their eyes were very solemn when they looked at Liu Zhi.
Mrs. Tai was not in a hurry to let the clan elder express her opinion, but sighed lightly: "I heard Eleven Niang mention that Yin Niang intended to tell Ying Niang about asthma, and I was suspicious in my heart, but I only speculated that Ying Niang was dissatisfied because of the punishment of the last incident, and persuaded Yin Niang to frame Eleven Niang again, in the end, it was a battle of will between the children, although I made some investigation arrangements, I really didn't pay much attention to it, I thought that I would punish Ying Niang after the incident, but I didn't expect that Ying Niang would lose her life for this!" ”
"Don't talk about Bin, the old body heard this right and wrong just now, and he was also shocked, the tiger poison is not yet a child, how can ordinary people predict that a dispute between children will evolve into such a miserable." The speaker was Mrs. Zhou, who was obviously convinced that Liu Zhi was the initiator.
"Zhiyi, I know you are still suspicious of Danniang, let me ask you, do you remember when Ying'er had her first asthma attack?" Mrs. Tai asked.
"It was when Ying'er was two years old, I remember that it was late spring, and the attack was very sudden and ferocious, although it was timely because of the doctor's appointment, but it was still sinister." Speaking of this, Liu Zhiyi couldn't help gritting his teeth: "It's all to blame on the Qin family, it was she who didn't take good care of Ying'er and let Ying'er drink peach milk, which caused Ying'er to suddenly have asthma, and the little child experienced life and death!" ”
Eleven Niang was simply impatient with Liu Zhiyi's theory, if it weren't for the identity restrictions, she really couldn't help but refute it face to face, although there are many negative men in the world, it is really rare to be unsympathetic to such a point, since he has long been disgusted with his wife, why didn't Wu Weibo Mansion show it when he was prominent? When Liu Yingyu had an asthma attack, why didn't he simply abandon the Qin family?
Mrs. Wei knew that Liu Zhi's room was incorruptible and shameful, and she was not surprised: "How can you complain about Danniang?" How did she know that Ying'er had asthma and couldn't drink peach syrup? I remember clearly, at that time, Danniang came to beg me to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Ying'er, and everyone knew. For so many years, except for that time, asthma attacks are not common, let alone critical, can you admit this? ”
Seeing that Liu Zhiyi was silent, Mrs. Tai said again: "Ying'er is getting older, and she followed Banniang to Yanzong to study, because she has asthma, and she has been instructed by the doctor to no longer eat peaches. Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai paused slightly: "I felt suspicious at the time, because I only heard that Ying'er can't eat peaches, why Yinniang emphasized that pollen can cause asthma, so I secretly investigated it......"
Mrs. Wei glanced at Liu coldly.
Liu only felt a chill spread from the dantian.
"About three or two years ago, Ying'er was playing in Di's room, accidentally knocked over the powder box, and had a rash on her arm because of pollen.
Being reminded by this, the Qin family also remembered: "Yes, I also remember this, and I sent someone to invite the doctor." ”
Mrs. Tai bowed her head: "So woman, when you heard Ying'er's sudden panting today, why did you insist that it was caused by pollen?" You should know that pollen does not cause asthma attacks, but you avoid mentioning the possibility of eating peaches by mistake, why? At that time, you didn't even know that the Yin Niang sisters were carrying pollen, but it seemed that they had expected that Marigold and Yin Niang would testify against the dispute between Eleven Niang and Ying'er, and splashed the pollen on their bodies to cause sudden death! If you didn't know beforehand, why did you do that? ”
But without waiting for Liu's quibble, Mrs. Wei sneered: "You are weak-hearted, afraid that mentioning peach pulp will lead me to get to the bottom of it, Ying'er will never eat any berry cakes in Yanzong, just because she knows that peaches are harmful to her body, for fear of eating them by mistake!" If I had traced what Ying'er had drunk, Marigold would not have had time to expunge the evidence of the crime after the incident, and even if she had dumped the remaining peach syrup, there would still be a residual smell in the pot of water bladder, and it would not be difficult to identify. ”
Liu Zhi's idea is that the incident happened in a hurry, they made trouble in time, Mrs. Wei is bound to be at a loss, and then Liu Yinru, the daughter of the sect, testifies, Mrs. Tai will not suspect the peach pulp at all, and will only cover up the truth and compromise and retreat, as long as the documentary evidence is left, they will go back to the house and destroy the evidence of the crime, even if Mrs. Tai comes back afterwards, there is no way to trace it.
How did I know that Liu Yinru leaked the plan in advance because of her cleverness, and was revealed by Mrs. Tai and Eleven Niang, and she was actually prepared.
Mrs. Wei said: "You have a foolproof plan, and you have long been prepared to blame Danniang if you fail, so you didn't tell you in advance, but how could the uncle and the maiden really care about Ying'er, and after many years, you can't remember how long it takes for Ying'er to have a seizure after drinking peach milk, and if you don't know the time, you can't guarantee that it will be seamless, but because you have a ghost in your heart, it is impossible to ask Danniang directly, so ......"
Not to mention Liu, Liu Zhi's face was already pale at this time.
I had to find out the truth from Ying'er's mother's mouth, because in addition to Danniang, only the mother-in-law could remember this dangerous incident back then, if Ying'er had a case, she would not be able to escape responsibility! However, because of illness the year before last, the servant was allowed to leave the house to recuperate, so wouldn't it be strange to send someone to inquire about it somehow? Yes, the woman sent her henchmen to the side to knock on the side, that is, a few days ago, Ying'er Nurse should not be so forgetful, if the Lady wants to quibble, why not ask Ying'er Nurse to testify in court now? ”
Mrs. Wei shook her head lightly: "Not to mention that it happened today that there is King Jin as circumstantial evidence, he can hear it clearly, before Ying'er's asthma attack, but he must be dedicated to explaining that Marigold must be dedicated, how do you say the original words?" The eldest mother confessed that once the matter is completed, she promises to marry into the prestige, and even will be the princess of Jin! It's not my mother-in-law's confession, uncle and wife, what else do you have to say? ”
At this time, the Qin family was already crying bitterly, and bowed down: "The concubine is fair and clear, and I will return my innocence." ”
Liu Zhi was annoyed and ashamed: "Sister-in-law has good means, but you didn't expect it, how can you know everything about the whereabouts of the servants in my house?" It's just hypocrisy, I clearly expected this disaster a long time ago, but I stood by and watched! ”
Is this going to be a dog jumping off the wall? Eleven Niang sighed secretly.
Mrs. Tai sneered: "Auntie's words earlier were good, tiger poison does not eat children, how could I have predicted that you would kill your granddaughter for some benefits!" I found out about the pollen in advance, but only on this case, where can I figure out the details of your plan, and I thought it was just to let Ying'er pretend to have a wheezing attack and frame Eleven Niang, until Ying'er died suddenly, I suspected that the diet was on the top, and it wasn't until you and your wife put the blame on Danniang, Danniang did not hesitate to ask for innocence, I deduced the steps of your plan, and while waiting for the elders, I secretly sent a servant to ask Ying'er about the mother-in-law. ”
Liu Zhi was completely stunned, and only then did he realize that he had fallen for Mrs. Tai's plan to delay the army.
Old Madam Zhou couldn't hold it back for a long time, and couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "The Jingzhao Liu clan has such a scum, and the old body is ashamed!" The reputation of the family is not allowed to wait for you to be buried! Since Liu Zhi has confessed your guilt and reputation, you are the patriarch, and you say how to deal with it! ”
But before Liu Yuyi could speak, Liu Zhi stalked his neck again: "Even if it's me, so what?" I'm a grandfather, Ying'er is just a granddaughter's junior, she has always been unfilial, and there are many backlashes, can't I still kill them? I haven't heard of the etiquette of treating elders because of a junior! ”
Eleven Niang didn't know what to say, what a wise person Liu Gong was back then, how did he give birth to such a pair of sons? Liu Zheng's many absurd behaviors have been despicable, Liu Zhi has even passed everything, the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty is that even if you kill slaves and maids for no reason, you will also be punished with a cane, not to mention murdering your relatives? Liu Zhi and his wife were still grieving for their granddaughter's sudden death just now, and they were heartbroken, and in a blink of an eye, they actually reprimanded Liu Yingyu for being unfilial and innocent! Even if Yingyu is not filial, she can't kill it casually, let alone assassinate her! Even if there is a difference between respect and inferiority, according to the law, he will not be beheaded according to the crime of ordinary homicide, if he really sues the government, the two culprits of Liu Zhi and his wife will not be able to escape the prison sentence, and Liu Zhi will be so ignorant and fearless to such an extent.
However, according to Shi Niang's knowledge, such evil things in the clan are generally for the sake of reputation, and they will not alarm the government, and most of them are handled by the clan.
"According to the rules of the clan, whoever kills or injures his relatives will leave the clan." Liu Yuyi obviously had won Mrs. Wei's understanding, and then said categorically.
Mrs. Zhou took the lead in agreeing: "That's it, Liu Zhiyi tried to frame the sect, but he was so unkind and shameless that he attacked the five-year-old child of Eleven Niang, and the other was so ruthless that he killed his own flesh and blood, if he tolerated it, once there was a conflict of interests in the future, he was afraid that he would beat and kill the clansmen, and if the scourge was not removed, how could the clansmen be at ease?" ”
The rest of the clan elders had no objections, and their eyes looking at Liu Zhi were full of disdain.
Where was Liu Zhi convinced, and jumped up at this time: "How dare your grandson leave the clan?" Don't think that you are really innocent, if it weren't for the demagoguery and instigation of your grandmother, I wouldn't have had this kind of plan! ”
As early as when Liu Zhi was forced to jump over the wall in a hurry to confess, Qiao's knew that something was wrong, and when he heard this, he felt a "bang" of thunder in his ears.
