Chapter 109: Mrs. Tai's fifth daughter-in-law who begged for help
The earth-shaking changes have quietly happened, like black clouds have hit the hearts of many people, but unlike the dark clouds in the hearts of many people, the summer sun finally broke through the thick clouds at noon today, sprinkled on the clear river water, sparkling, the water waves are not clear......
On such a river, an inconspicuous lonely boat slowly returned, and two plainly dressed and uneyed people came down from the boat, and they were hidden in the crowd of people who came and went to the river because of the sunshine, and then ...... They unconsciously drove the carriage and horse away calmly and leisurely.
This gray carriage shuttled through a secluded street in the capital, with green trees on both sides of the street, although summer has arrived, but the catkins of spring are still floating on the summer road like snowflakes for some reason......
Gu Shu was not accustomed to riding in a carriage with Qi Zhaoyang, so Gu Shu quietly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Qi Zhaoyang noticed Gu Shu's small movements, and did not speak, following Gu Shu's meaning.
Gu Shu looked at the scenery outside the curtain, the dense tree tops were mixed with delicate clouds intertwined with bright flowers, and under the shade of the trees were the blue-gray wall doors of the residents or a few vermilion portals.
This kind of scenery is very common in the capital, and Gu Shu has almost seen too much in the past, but Gu Shu is very greedy for such scenery today, and it was not until the gray carriage stopped in an alley near the back door of the Yanguo Mansion that Gu Shu withdrew his gaze.
…………
Gu Shu said goodbye to Qi Zhaoyang, and wanted to quietly return to his courtyard, but found that the courtyards of everyone in the Yanguo Mansion were closed, and even on the road, except for a few servants who sprinkled and cleaned, there were no other servants to come and go......
Gu Shu immediately guessed that something big must have happened, and then she couldn't help but speed up her pace and ran back to her yard to find out what was going on......
And just as Gu Shu guessed, there was indeed a big event in the Yanguo Mansion that could be called "the sky is falling", and at this moment, the central vortex of this matter is gathering in Gu Ruosu's Hefeng Hall, and I don't know when it will be able to disperse......
Gu Ruosu's Hefeng Hall was like the morning of the fifteenth day of the new year, gathering the daughters-in-law and a few older children in each room, but the difference was that the daughters-in-law and children in each room had a blank face and frowned......
The most exaggerated thing is that I don't know why, Gu Ruosu's fifth daughter-in-law, who has always been the most arrogant, is kneeling at Gu Ruosu's feet with a handful of snot and tears at the moment, hugging Gu Ruosu's thigh, as if holding a life-saving straw, crying sadly......
"Mother...... Mother...... You must ask your father to save Shiro......"
"Grandmother...... Please, please think of a way to save your father...... My father is loyal and honest, so he must not dare to do such a thing...... Grandmother ......"
"Mother...... Yihua is right...... Although Shiro is not as talented as his father and eldest brother, Shiro has always been a good boy who is loyal and filial...... Where do you dare to touch human life in your hands......"
“……”
“……”
Wei Shi and Xie Yihua were almost crying at the feet of Gu Ruosu at this moment, and Gu Ruosu was also the first two big ......
She had just finished her lunch, and before she had time to take a lunch break, she was "received" by Hai Shi and others to sit in the main hall, and then came...... It was Wei Shi who pulled Xie Yihua and the two of them hugged her thighs inexplicably and cried......
"Don't cry, don't cry, you two should tell me what happened......
Otherwise...... What are you asking me to save...... I just want to save my life...... I don't know where to start......" Gu Ruosu listened to the cries of Wei and Xie Yihua, and she was always in the clouds, but she also understood that something big must have happened, so Gu Ruosu had to sigh and say to Wei and Xie Yihua.
As soon as Wei heard this, he immediately understood that his husband might be saved, so he hurriedly stopped crying and said sadly:
"Mother, just now Kyoto Prefecture Yin sent someone to report, saying that it was an envoy from the Nanban Mission, saying that it was a noble Nanban royal family who died in the Imperial Book Pavilion for some reason."
"What does that have to do with Shiro, Shiro has just returned to Beijing, although the errand he received has real power, but it is in the Ministry of Industry, not to mention that it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, and it is not the official who greeted the Nanban Mission this time, and a Nanban royal family died, is it difficult to say that it is our Shiro who can't kill it!"
"That's right, mother, mother, you are like a god, that's what the official of Kyoto Prefecture Yin who came to report said so!"
When Gu Ruosu heard this, she stood up from her chair in surprise and said in disbelief:
"What! What the hell is going on! How can the fourth child of our family have a good relationship with the murder case, what did the official say, you can tell me word for word! ”
The official said that when the Nanban royal family died, they died in the elegant room on the second floor of the Imperial Book Xuan, which was a secret room...... Except for Shiro, who was traveling with the Nanban Imperial Family, no one was allowed to enter......
Moreover, the official also said that when the shopkeeper broke into the door with people, the door was locked from the inside, the windows were also closed, and on the ground lay the unconscious Shiro and the dead Nanban royal family......
The most important thing is...... The Nanban royal family was killed by someone who pierced the chest with a dagger...... The murderous dagger is still in the hands of our Shiro......
Mother! You've got to save Shiro! Shiro must have been slandered by someone else! Shiro and that Nanban royal family have no grievances, how can they kill people...... Mother ......, "Wei Shi insisted on not crying and explained the ins and outs of this matter, but in the end, I couldn't help it, and continued to cry......
When Gu Ruosu heard these words, he didn't care about the Wei clan crying on the side, so he sat back in his position, pondered for a long time, and asked Xie Yihuadao:
"Your father is also an official, although he has not been back to Beijing for a long time, but they should know what a person is...... When the people of the capital city came to get your father, in addition to these ins and outs, what else did they say, do you know? ”
Xie Yihua wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded and said:
"I was with my mother to hear the news, and the person who came did say something else......
I remember...... The adult said that after his father woke up, he vigorously denied the murder, and only said that he and the Nanban royal family came together because they both loved paperwork...... This meeting was at Yushuxuan...... It was because I heard that Yushuxuan had a lone book, so I thought about meeting Yushuxuan...... What happened to this, my father said he didn't know......"
"That's all? But what else? ”
Xie Yihua thought for a moment and said, "The official also said that when the incident happened, many people saw it...... When the people of their capital Yin arrived, they had already surrounded Yushuxuan......
Afterward...... The people of their capital city Yin really couldn't get in, and finally ...... It was by borrowing troops from General Chen Chan and opening the way that he took away the corpses of the Nanban royal family and his father...... Right now...... My father is already in prison in Kyoto Prefecture......"
After Gu Ruosu heard this, the anxiety in her heart lightened a little......
Immediately, Gu Ruosu immediately asked Bi Lan and Dark Green plus a few mothers-in-law to help Wei Shi and Xie Yihua, who couldn't cry, back to their positions, and watched the mother and daughter sit down before they spoke:
"Don't cry...... In my opinion...... The fourth child should be no big deal...... After a while, I'll be able to come back one by one......"
When Wei Shi, Xie Yihua and the others heard this, they immediately raised their heads and looked at Gu Ruosu one after another, among them, Hai Shi, who had been sitting in the position, suddenly asked:
"Mother, how can this be seen...... This Kyoto Prefecture Yin Ke is an iron-faced and selfless ...... Come to think of it, it's rare for our family to want to use relationships......"
"It's good to be selfless with an iron mask, and only with an iron mask is selfless can we handle this case well.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see this matter, and someone must have deliberately framed the fourth child.
The fourth child is a powerless scholar, and he has no deep hatred for the Nanban royal family, what to do to kill him, but someone sees that the agreement between your father-in-law and the Nanban mission is about to be reached, and wants to destroy it, the fourth child is just a disaster without reason, and wants to come...... As long as your father-in-law doesn't have an accident, Shiro won't have anything to do......"
"Then mother, since this is all clearly framed, why do you want to arrest Shiro...... Isn't Shiro suffering in vain......" When Wei Shi heard this, he silently collected his tears and asked with teary eyes.
"Since that person was deliberately framed, he naturally wanted to do everything possible to pull Shiro in.
Didn't Yihua say it just now, when Kyoto Prefecture Yin led people to arrive, the Yushuxuan was surrounded by people and couldn't get through, and in the end, he even relied on the army to get in.
For the sake of justice and the diplomatic relations between the two countries, even if the capital government Yin thinks that the fourth child of our family is not guilty, he has to arrest the fourth child, and what the capital city government Yin did is also understandable. ”
"Then judging from my mother, when will this Shiro come back!" Wei Shi listened to Gu Ruosu's words, and finally felt a little relieved in his heart, but he still asked very worriedly.
"It depends on when this thing comes to fruition.
After all, even if the dead person is a commoner, he will be tried in three halls, let alone a noble Nanban royal family.
Come to think of it, these Nanban people and those who are planning to sabotage the cooperation between Nanban and Dayong are not willing to let go easily. ”
"What if that is...... If Yin of the capital city can't find out the ins and outs of the matter, wouldn't this fourth uncle have to stay in prison all the time. Rushi suddenly asked.
"This ...... If so...... There's nothing I can do about it......
But in my opinion, this Metropolitan Mansion Yin can sit firmly in the hands of the Metropolitan Mansion Yin, and if you think about it, you have some ability...... You don't have to worry too much......"
"Mother, where can you not be worried...... There are two official words, how many people wish that our Xie family would be planted like this!
Those people are twisting and turning, where do we understand......
Mother...... Shiro is the most filial to you, so you can help Shiro beg his father...... As long as his father is willing to come forward, then Shiro will definitely be able to get out of prison temporarily......" As soon as Gu Ruosu's words fell, Wei Shi said urgently.
"How many people are staring at your father right now...... If at this time, your father asks to release them, those Nanban people don't believe that our Xie family will really kill the Nanban royal family, but it will become 100% suspicious......
For a long time, only people with weak hearts will be eager to make a move...... "Although Gu Ruosu didn't understand the politics of the government and the opposition, he was clear-minded, and he remembered what had happened recently, so he understood the thoughts of those who were secretly doing it, so he shook his head and comforted.
"This ...... Can...... Mother...... What happened to us in Dayong, how do the southern barbarians deal with it...... Wouldn't it be nice to have an explanation...... If not...... I asked my father to come forward and ask them to change places for Shiro......
House arrest! House arrest is also possible...... This dungeon in the capital city is not a good place......" Wei said with still his heart ......
"Fourth daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry, the eldest children came over with your father to endure hardships, and they are not so squeamish, but if you really feel sorry for him, you don't have to let your father come forward and change the cell......"
Before Gu Ruosu's words were finished, he was interrupted by the second daughter-in-law Song, who had been silent:
"Mother doesn't know these things, but the capital city is a selfless person, and how many dignitaries and dignitaries have folded in......
The fourth brother and sister wanted to beg their father for help this time, also because their father had worked together with this Lord Yin, but if it was replaced by a mother, you would ...... If you want to change your cell, Lord Yin of Nafu will not necessarily give this thin noodles......
But it's also ...... The fourth uncle is not the sixth brother after all, but he was imprisoned and wants to come...... It's a trouble for mothers and fathers......"
Song's words were almost sowing discord, and everyone who listened frowned, but Wei, who was already dazed by worry at the moment, did not react, but felt that what Song said was quite reasonable......
Gu Ruosu is eccentric...... If it had been replaced by her biological bloodline, she would have gone to her father-in-law for help early!
The more Wei thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he couldn't listen to Gu Ruosu's explanation at this moment, but fortunately, before the moment when Wei's emotions completely exploded, Xie Yihua hurriedly pressed Wei's hand and whispered to her:
"Mother! Don't get dizzy, this is sowing discord! Grandmother wasn't that kind of person! If you fall out with your grandmother! Daddy, this is really hopeless......"
As soon as Wei heard that Xie Hao's family was in danger, he immediately came back to his senses, stabilized his mind, and finally did not fall into the pit dug by these "good concubines......
On the contrary, when Gu Ruosu said, "I will let people dredge up the relationship, let Xie Hao's family avoid the pain of flesh and skin, and send someone to find out the truth secretly", under Xie Yihua's arrangement, he respectfully knelt down for Gu Ruosu, kowtowed, and thanked Gu Ruosu for his efforts......
Everyone refused to disperse in Hefeng Hall for a long time, even if the Wei family was forcibly twisted back by Xie Yihua because they couldn't cry themselves, the Song family and the others still took root in Hefeng Hall like a needle in the sea, and refused to disperse under the guise of worrying about Xie Hao's family......
Until Xie Ruqing walked in from outside the house...... This group of people is willing to disperse......
