Chapter 047: Like a Man Drinking Water
Duan Wang, this king, for every head of the Xie family, can be said to be impossible to ignore.
Because of this, King Duan and the Xie family have a feud.
During the period of the first emperor, in the eighth year of Taining, the Xie family had a rebel - Xie Zhan's uncle and grandfather Xie Zhen. Xie Zhen was dissatisfied with the emperor and held heavy power in his hands, so he intended to usurp the throne and replace the emperor. The place of the incident was not far from the suburbs of Kyoto, where Chen Tian's grandfather Chen Cheng was in the fief of Liyang County.
During this rebellion, Chen Cheng held on to Liyang County, but Liyang County was captured by the rebels led by Xie Zhen, and Chen Cheng was captured and killed by Xie Zhen's faction.
At that time, Chen Tian's father, the old Duan Wang Chen Yu, was spared because he was young.
Because of this incident, Duanwang's lineage is slightly thin.
Later, Chen Ji, who did not know the truth, befriended the juniors of the Xie family until Chen Ji became an adult, and his mother had to tell him the truth about his father's death. After that, Chen Ji wanted to avenge his father twice, and found Xie Zhan's uncle and grandfather, but they were all escaped by the two.
The Xie family was powerful, and after the rebellion was quelled, the first emperor did not dare to face the resistance openly, did not punish Xie Zhen heavily, and persuaded Chen Ji, who was bent on revenge, to stop hatred, Chen Ji should not.
In desperation, the first emperor sealed Chen's residence to the border of Daliang, not far from Jianping County, which was not far from the Great Zhou. After that, Jianping County was occupied by the Great Zhou, and King Duan lost his fiefs one after another.
At that time, before Chen Ji left Jiankang City, he swore that the revenge of the Xie family would not be forgotten by the descendants of Prince Duan, and sooner or later he would avenge his ancestors.
Before Xie Zhan's grandfather died, he made this matter clear to the new head of the family, Xie Yuan, and asked every head of the Xie family in the future to be more vigilant against the Duanwang lineage.
Therefore, as the next head of the Xie family, Xie Zhan should not regard Duanwang Chen Tian as a passerby, especially after he returned to Kyoto to take up his post.
With the sensitivity of many years of prison cases, Xie Zhan saw that Chen Tian gave his fiancée a good horse worth thousands of gold, and he only felt that he had bad intentions in public and private.
Partial that Fuxuan is a person who loves money and things, and others are courteous, but she doesn't delve into the reason, and today she put his fiancé aside, and Baba ran away.
Hey, I don't worry about any of them.
He rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly: "Find out why Chen Tian was transferred back to Jiankang." In addition, send someone to follow at all times, and if there is any abnormality, come immediately. ”
"Yes."
"Send more people to protect her."
He? Which he?
Shi Qing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Oh, protect "her".
**
Early the next morning, Xie Zhan went to Dali Temple as usual.
Because these days are the time of the quarterly file file, the people of Dali Temple gathered together, and for a while, the conversation between colleagues continued, and the solemn yamen was rarely lively.
Towards the end of the inventory, the temple priests began to chat.
Li Sicheng patted the file in his hand and sighed: "Don't say it, I still remember this case vividly. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Sicheng curiously approached Li Sicheng's side, glanced at the name of the cover of the dossier in Li Sicheng's hand, and echoed: "It's this, I remember it too!" There are not many officials who are trapped by love and become criminals. ”
The words of the two immediately aroused Yang Siqing's curiosity, and he immediately asked, "Which case?" ”
Yang Siqing's name is Yang Tao, and he is a person who was born to sue for prison. His curiosity is very strong, especially very interested in peach-colored things, and now, for the official happens to be in charge of Dali Temple, he has been exposed to countless cases, and he often has a few interesting things about Beijing officials that he has handled, and he chats endlessly with others.
When Li Sicheng heard that it was Shangfeng who asked, he got up and explained: "It's the one who killed his mother because of his wife in Jingzhou." ”
Hearing the words "Jingzhou" and "wife", Fu Xuan's face flashed through his mind, and Xie Zhan suddenly touched his elbow, and put down his pen.
The thick ink immediately smudged an unsightly black spot on the paper, causing the always picky sword eyebrows to twist slightly.
Yang Siqing was interested and urged: "Tell me quickly, I don't know about this case." ”
It is no wonder that Yang Siqing does not know about this case, although Dali Temple tries serious cases of central officials and prisons in various places, but the trial of judicial cases in local states can be completed at the level of Sicheng. Each non-major case that has been reviewed by the temple will be signed by several other temple officials, and then it will have legal effect, and there is no need to submit it to Shaoqing and Siqing.
Li Sicheng cleared his throat and told the story-
"Jiang Yu in Jingzhou, there is a fiancée who was born in a merchant and has a beautiful and fragrant country, but somehow, although the fiancée is engaged to Jiang Yu, she can't get into the eyes of Jiang Yu's mother. Jiang's mother felt that the girl was not worthy of her own man, so she privately found another girl for Jiang Yu. ”
“…… Jiang's mother is very active, and invites new girls to Jiangfu as guests from time to time, one will be an elegant gathering, and the other will be a banquet. Jiang Yu had a marriage contract, but he met the new girl a few times, and even played chess with her. ”
“…… Later, I don't know whether this matter was intentional or unintentional, it was spread by the people of the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yu's fiancée is also a girl from a well-known family in Jingzhou, and when she heard this, she was disgraced, and she would definitely not do it, so she proposed to terminate the marriage contract with the Jiang family. ”
Yang Siqing interrupted him and asked anxiously, "Is it solved?" ”
Zheng Sicheng replied for Li Sicheng: "No! If it had been solved, there would have been no such case. ”
Yang Siqing hummed and urged Li Sicheng to continue.
Every word seemed to be talking about his own situation, and Xie Zhan was also aroused, so he unconsciously put down the pen in his hand and listened carefully.
I only heard Li Sicheng continue: "Jiang Yu is caught in the middle and is in a dilemma, but the fiancée is really beautiful, Jiang Yu is naturally reluctant to her, the so-called lust is not good, so he used some methods, while persuading his fiancée, he was in a hurry to bring forward the marriage again, and quickly became a relative." ”
“…… Who knows, after getting married, Jiang's mother still doesn't die in her old heart, she still dislikes her daughter-in-law's low family background in a businessman, and while bullying her daughter-in-law, she is still connecting the new girl with her son. ”
Yang Siqing interrupted the narrative and sighed: "Since the two have become relatives, the woman's original identity is not noble, and she is already a member of her family. This Jiang Mu, how can it be so unreasonable? ”
Li Sicheng replied: "No! Because Jiang's mother is in charge of the house, Jiang Yu's wife can't be bullied, and she is depressed every day. Finally, one time, after catching the mother-in-law specially inviting a new girl again, she couldn't help but get angry and asked her mother-in-law what she meant. ”
“…… Mother Jiang was disobedient to her daughter-in-law, how could she let her go easily? He ordered someone to urgently recall his son, who was still on duty, to reason. ”
“…… Jiang Yu knew that what his mother did was unreasonable, and in his words, he still protected his pregnant wife. When Jiang's mother saw that her son was biased, she was even more angry, and instead of beating her son, she pushed her daughter-in-law with her hands. Jiang Yu saw that his wife and children were beaten, and raised his hand to block it, but Jiang's mother was pushed and staggered to the ground in one step. ”
Speaking of this, Li Sicheng sighed, "Jiang Yu's wife was also frightened to lose her child that night, and she was born prematurely due to palpitations, and she almost took her own life. After the mother's family knew the reason, they didn't say a word, took the person home, and then sent a piece of paper and a letter to Jiang Neishi. ”
After listening to the story, Yang Siqing pouted and concluded: "Hey, you can guess without saying it, then Jiang Yu finally had to be separated from his wife and imprisoned. ”
Zheng Sicheng echoed: "That's why I just said, if the family matter had retired earlier, how could it be that the three of them would have an unfortunate ending, right?" ”
Yang Siqing patted Zheng Sicheng on the shoulder, "In this case, the most taboo is hesitation, and when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic." ”
Li Sicheng nodded approvingly.
Seeing that Xie Shaoqing, who had never listened to these idle things, actually put down his pen today, his eyes were staring at the void, his eyebrows were heavy, and he seemed to be thinking, Yang Siqing suddenly realized that he also had a fiancée.
Before leaving, he smiled at Xie Zhan and said: "We Xie Shaoqing will not have such troubles, I heard that Mrs. Prospective is the heart and soul of Fu Taiwei and Fu Shangshu, the appearance of this family is first-class, and it is a holy marriage, the glory is infinite, and it must be very popular with the future mother-in-law." Right? ”
was asked in public by Shangfeng, what else could Xie Zhan say? I had to say it without changing my face, and it was natural.
Isn't there really such a problem?
Xie Zhan's heart snorted.
It's just that, like a person drinking water, he knows his own warmth and coldness.
