Chapter 160: Burn a few of the largest mansions for me, and Wu Anbo's Mansion will be finished (two in one)
"The second master is admitting that he went to Wanju Building that day to pretend to be in the name of the ninth master, and covered a private seal to receive dividends?" Mother Xie asked faintly.
Su Chengming's face changed slightly, and he immediately reacted that he had fallen into a trap.
"What you're talking about, I don't understand." He denied it, but his wandering eyes were already full of emptiness.
Such an attitude is tantamount to admitting in public that he has a ghost in his heart.
Regardless of whether Xie's mother has the misprinted account book paper, Su Chengming's confession is enough to show that the person who put the tiger skin money is Zeng's.
Mother Xie's corpse pulled a smile at Su Chengming, and then knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the emperor's grandson Chu Yan: "Your Highness, the person behind me who instructed me to fake a private seal is the eldest lady, she asked me to withdraw silver money from the treasury of the account room many times in the name of the ninth master, and all the silver coins withdrawn with fake private seals were either hidden as private treasury by the eldest lady or sent to Wanjulou for loans, these things are all involved in the second master, and please ask Your Highness to investigate thoroughly!" ”
"You old man who kills a thousand knives! Bloody mouth! ”
Su Chengming heard her denounce herself like this, he panicked, he didn't care about being afraid, he flew up directly, and kicked at Xie's mother.
He was a man of the army, and this kick directly kicked the body away and fell heavily to the ground.
"Grandmother!" Lianqiao used her hands and feet together, struggled to rush to the side of Xie's mother's body, and cried bitterly, "Grandmother, look at Qiao'er, grandmother ......"
It's just that the corpse is like a kite with a broken string, and there is no movement, let alone a response.
Coincidentally, the head of the corpse was still open, still coldly and gloomy, staring in Su Chengming's direction.
"Take Su Chengming down and escort him back to Beiya for careful trial." Chu Yan's cold voice sounded from afar.
This command, to Su Chengming's ears, was comparable to a life-urging spell, and more terrifying than a demon.
He knew the notoriety of Beiya, and if he was really arrested and sent to Beiya, wouldn't he have no way to live.
"Your Highness, Your Highness spare your life!"
Su Chengming panicked, turned around and pulled Zeng's sleeve: "A-Niang, A-Niang save me." ”
Mrs. Zeng is now in a difficult position to protect herself, how can she save him.
But in the end, it was a piece of meat that fell from her body, her most beloved son, thinking of the danger of the Beiya, Mrs. Zeng couldn't wait to suffer for her son in person.
But there were many people in front of her, so she could only endure the heartache and persuade in a low voice, "Erlang, don't worry, there are many people now, and my mother can't help you intercede immediately." But don't worry, you go first, just remember that you must grit your teeth and don't say too much if you don't say what you shouldn't say, even if your mother doesn't want to give up this life, she will definitely think of ways to save you. ”
Mrs. Zeng said sincerely.
But Su Chengming didn't think so.
He has always been raised by Mrs. Zeng, when has he ever been frightened like this. At this time, I only felt that Mrs. Zeng was deceiving herself and treating herself as a three-year-old child.
How could he not know that a place like Beiya can be saved if he wants to.
originally thought that his own mother would stand up and take over the matter alone, so as not to let him be arrested and tortured in Beiya.
But I didn't expect that he just told him to "don't say more"?
Is this to make him bear all the blame?
"Auntie, tell them quickly, I don't know anything, I don't know."
Su Chengming hurriedly said: "I have always been in Tongwuguan, how do I know these things, it has always been what you asked me to do, I did it......"
Mrs. Zeng's face changed slightly, she couldn't have imagined it anyway, just by the words of Mother Xie's deception.
A moment ago, he was filial to protect his son, but he would turn back so easily.
Mrs. Zeng only felt a mouthful of old blood rush up her throat.
Su Chengming saw the embroidered clothes envoy coming up, and he didn't think about it, so he pushed Mrs. Zeng forward.
"Your Highness, it's my mother, and my mother instructed me to go to Wanjulou to collect dividends. It's her, it has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything! ”
At the moment when she was pushed out by her own son, Mrs. Zeng finally tasted the taste of being stabbed in her heart.
She was furious, and her throat was full of blood, but she still had to endure it.
This is her own son, and since he has already testified against her, if she does not admit it, will she still be able to splash the dirty water back?
"Yes...... It's me. Mrs. Zeng gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground, "I couldn't see that the ancestor gave the money in the public to the uncle to squander, and I was dissatisfied, so I instructed Mother Xie to engrave a private seal in the name of the ancestor and return it...... Seeing that the money was open, he went to Wanjulou and released the tiger skin money. ”
Hearing her admit this, Su Chengming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought that he had survived the catastrophe without danger.
Unexpectedly, the embroidered messenger still surrounded him, restrained his shoulders, and dragged him out.
"Eh, Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm innocent, I'm innocent! Your Highness, it's all my mother, and my mother did it! She confessed it, why are you still arresting me? ”
Zeng's listened to this voice, only to feel that the sweetness in his throat was getting stronger and stronger.
Wu Anbo Su Wei strode up to her and asked with a dark face: "So, you killed my mother too?" ”
"No, no, no." Mrs. Zeng denied it repeatedly, "Master, my mother-in-law is very kind to the concubine, how can the concubine be so cruel to her." The concubine was only blinded by money for a while, and only after learning that the ancestor had been killed, would she think about it...... If you can push the death of your mother-in-law to your uncle, you can take his share of the family property as your own, the concubine has only made money, and has never harmed her life, and the concubine really didn't harm her mother-in-law! ”
She did her best to speak the words sincerely.
But she forgot that there was a corpse next to her, and he always looked at her silently and coldly.
"You're lying!"
"It's clear that you instructed me to kill the old ancestor!"
Without waiting for Mrs. Zeng to confess, Yang Shuangwen's body stood up stiffly, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in a cold voice, "The villain is Yang Shuangwen, the account room of Wanbao Yin, the villain was instructed by someone to sneak into the Bofu and push the ancestor off the rockery, the villain is the real murderer." ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes inside and outside the mourning hall all fell on Yang Shuangwen's corpse.
When Mrs. Zeng heard his voice, she was excited, and secretly said that it was not good.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Yang Shuangwen's hand crawling with corpse spots pointed at her.
"Before the villain's death, he was expelled from the house for putting tiger skin money for his second grandmother, and in desperation, Mrs. Zeng's ordered Zhao Chunlan to come to the door and let me go to Wanbao Yinhao, in the name of the ninth master, to short the silver of the ninth master for her to lend."
"After the fall of Wanjulou, the Zeng family knew that I owed a large amount of foreign debt, so they bribed me with a lot of money, let me sneak into my home, and killed my ancestors."
"Later, the embroidery envoy intervened, she was worried about the incident in the east window, so she arrested my wife and children who came to Beijing to visit relatives and took her to her other village in the southern suburbs, and threatened me with their lives, so that I committed suicide without proof, so as not to be found out by the embroidery envoy."
"You talk nonsense, I don't know you at all." Mrs. Zeng hurriedly denied it, "You are Xie Wanyan's cousin, you have a relationship with her, you have always done things for her, and you have never met me." ”
She looked at Chu Yan: "Your Highness, I never knew this person, he is accusing me, how can I, a woman who lives in an inner house, send someone to arrest his wife and children, and threaten him, it's ridiculous." ”
Yang Shuangwen had expected her to say this.
"She promised to send my wife and children back to Jiangnan after I committed suicide, but I didn't expect it...... The night before yesterday, my wife and children died at her hands. The bodies of my wife and children are still in her village, and Your Highness can send someone to investigate. ”
If it weren't for the file of the embroidered envoy, it was found out that his wife and children did not return to Jiangnan, and he would not have discovered the truth that his wife and children died in Beizhuang.
Yang Shuangwen said faintly: "Zeng's tiger skin money profits, part of the profit is invested in the tiger skin money, and some of it is stored in an account opened by the name of Zeng Qi in Wanbao Yinhao, and the token of the silver is a private seal engraved with Zeng Qi's name, and the private seal is now in her purse, please check it with Your Highness." ”
This time, without waiting for Chu Yan to say anything, Captain Wu Anbo Su on the side had already strode forward, ripped off the purse on Zeng's waist, and sure enough, a private seal was shaken out from it.
On the private seal of that party, the word "Zeng Qi" was impressively engraved.
This is a fake name, if it weren't for Yang Shuangwen's personal testimony, who would know that Zeng Qi was Zeng's account in Wanbao Yinhao.
At this moment, the embroidered messenger in the hall, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed a servant woman wearing a white velvet flower on her head and trying to sneak out of the mourning hall from the corner of the mourning hall.
It's none other than Zhao Chunlan.
Zhao Chunlan saw that Zeng's was certified dead, and she was already frightened.
At this moment, she was caught by the embroidered envoy again, and she didn't need to be interrogated by others at all, so she poured beans and told her how Mrs. Zeng asked her to find Yang Shuangwen, and how she asked her to coax Lianqiao and Xie's mother.
“…… The eldest lady said that the second grandmother is 'lice are not itchy', she is eyeing Yang Shuangwen, and she is also thinking that one day, in case of the East Window incident, with the relationship between Yang Shuangwen and the second grandmother, and the second grandmother stealing the silver from the public middle school to put the tiger skin money, she can also splash dirty water on the second grandmother......"
So far, the human and material evidence is complete.
Even so, Mrs. Zeng was still unwilling to admit her guilt, "No, I haven't killed anyone, these are the ...... they framed me"
"Auntie."
Suddenly, a soft call came from the side, interrupting her words.
Mrs. Zeng followed the prestige, and saw her eldest son Su Chengye, who was in the mourning hall today and never said a word, and walked up to her.
"Confess your sins, A-Niang."
Su Chengye said with a sad expression: "My son found Xiao An yesterday and handed Xiao An over to the embroidery envoy. In order to be able to control the second brother and daughter-in-law, you instructed Xiao An to lead the second brother and daughter-in-law to the rockery and let her witness the incident. Afterwards, he sent someone to kill Xiao An, but he happened to be rescued by the Zheng family. Everything you have done, my son has already told His Highness......"
Su Chengye's words were like the last straw that crushed the camel, making Mrs. Zeng's face instantly gray.
She never imagined that her evil deeds had already been exposed by her eldest son.
"Son, do you know how you and your children and grandchildren will stand before the world if I were condemned and a mother and grandmother like me?"
"If you know this, why do you commit such murder?" Su Chengye said sadly: "My son would rather atone for his sins in the scolding of the world in the future, rather than his mother being obsessed and unrepentant." ”
When Mrs. Zeng heard this, she smiled miserably and sat on the ground weakly.
She did all this for the sake of her two sons.
Unexpectedly, in the end, a wolf-hearted dog's lungs turned back.
Another...... But I can't see her behave like this.
So what's the point of her doing all this?
Su Chengye didn't want to look at Mrs. Zeng again, turned around and walked in front of the old ancestor, knelt down, "Grandmother, the grandson is not filial, it is the existence of the grandson, so that the mother is greedy, and the grandmother is also asked to punish him." ”
Wu Anbo Suwei also walked in front of the ancestor and knelt on the ground, "Mother, the child is not filial, it is the child who did not take care of you!" ”
The father and son kowtowed heavily and wept bitterly on the ground.
Even Su Xian, who was next to him, watched the ins and outs, and walked up to the ancestor, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly, "Mother, it was your son who harmed you, if it weren't for the son's insistence on withdrawing money, he wouldn't have let his mother suffer from this catastrophe......"
The mourning hall was filled with deep sorrow because of the bitter weeping of these three people.
Shen Lingxi walked behind the old ancestor, twisted a silk thread, and moved his fingertips slightly.
The corpse of the old ancestor raised his hand slightly and gently patted the shoulders of his son and eldest grandson.
"Da Lang, Chengye, the two of you are stationed at the border all the year round, guarding my Dazhou mountains and rivers, and being loyal to the court, which is the glory of my Su family. Although I died unexpectedly, I am glad to see that you are upright after death. ”
She looked at Su Xian again and stroked the top of his hair, "Jiulang, my mother thought that you didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and you wandered outside all day, but your mother misunderstood you." You are compensating the orphans of the Su family army to repay your father's debts, and your mother supports you. Don't question your own Dao heart and benevolence because of the fault of others. ”
Su Xian nodded with tears streaming down his face.
The eyes of the ancestors looked at the mourning hall, and the relatives and friends gathered together.
Some came to see the excitement, and some were genuinely concerned.
What she is most sad about is that after her death, she was deceived by all the chicken feathers in this house.
The only thing that is still gratifying is that there are still good people among the children and grandchildren, and they are not bad to the root.
In this way, she will go to the underworld in the future, and she will be able to explain to the ancestors of the Su family.
Thinking of this, the old ancestor's mood suddenly brightened.
As Rokuro said to her, if you remember that sweetness in your heart, everyone has to look forward.
She said to everyone: "Today, it is my wife's first seventh, thank you for coming to give me a ride." These two sons and the eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter-in-law will be taken care of by everyone in the future. ”
The crowd of onlookers, after seeing the excitement of this big family, felt that there were novelties, some sighed, and some were sad for their ancestors.
At this moment, for the first time in their lives, these people were named by the corpses of the "resurrected souls", and they all shuddered in unison, feeling ...... It's kind of weird.
The old ancestor took in everyone's expressions, his soul laughed, and the corners of his mouth were torn off the face of the corpse.
Seeing that the two sons and the eldest grandson are still immersed in grief.
The corpse of the old ancestor, his voice was stiff but with a hint of lightness: "If you still feel guilty, then ...... Burn a few of the largest houses for me, and ask the Shen family paper shop to come up with a few new ones, and pick the most expensive ones to buy ......"
"I'm leaving, let's see you again in the next life!"
After saying this, the corpse of the old ancestor leaned back, leaned back in the chair, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and closed his eyes.
Shen Lingxi also silently let go of the soul line in his hand.
After a few breaths of silence, a deep cry sounded again......
*
Overnight, on the first seven soul nights of the ancestors of Wu'an Bo Mansion, Su Xian and Miao Ling Dao Chang did it at the same time, so that the three corpses were resurrected to testify against the murderer, and the news spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.
Wu Anbo's wife, Zeng, was sentenced to death for murdering her mother-in-law.
Su Chengming, Lian Qiao, Xie Wanyan, Zhao Chunlan, and the stewards around Zeng's side, as Zeng's accomplices, were sentenced to imprisonment, hanging, and exile according to the severity of the crime.
Wu Anbo wrote to the emperor overnight, asked to take away the title and title, buried the ancestors, and kept filial piety, and took his eldest son Su Chengye and daughter-in-law Zheng to Tongwuguan.
After Su Xian inherited the Bofu estate, he entrusted the property in his hand to Shen Lingxi, combined the orphans of the Su family army with the good hall of Fu'an Hall, and asked Shen Lingxi to take care of it on his behalf.
At the same time, everyone in the capital, from the dignitaries to the common people, were all surprised by Shen Lingxi and Su Xian's godlike first seven "soul rejuvenation techniques".
Especially the last sentence of the ancestor before leaving, "burn a few of the largest houses", made the Shen family's paper shop, together with the Shen family's coffin shop, and the white business of the entire Wangxian Village instantly popular.
In the past, no one in this world had ever been to the underworld, and they didn't know whether the paper was useful or not.
But now, the ancestor of Wu Anbo, who "returned to the soul", came from the underworld, and since she opened her mouth to let her descendants burn the house, it means that Shen's paper will definitely be burned to the underworld.
Because of this, for a while, all those who had deceased relatives in the family, whether it was a new funeral or an old funeral, all came to Wangxian Village to buy paper.
Wangxian Village, which does white business, is crowded with people, rubbing shoulders, and bustling like a busy city.
Shen Lingxi was not so busy thanks to his younger brother Yun Yu to help take care of it.
After she took a breath, she received the emperor's decree to order her to enter the palace.
And almost at the same time, in front of the desk of the commander of the Beiya, Chun Jun also waved his hand to report to Chu Yan, "The emperor announced that you will enter the palace immediately, saying that it is ...... I want to discuss your marriage, and I also announced that Miss Shen would enter the palace......"
I didn't expect this game to be so long, it was a new attempt, but I accidentally got stuck in the game.
Now that he has a reputation, he is not afraid of the emperor's suspicion, and he has to do a good job in his feelings, career and life experience.
None of the future bureaus will be written so long.
