Chapter 42: The Real Murderer
Xin Ciying and Wang Xiaoer are not very familiar with each other.
But if you don't know each other, this family really has a lot to do with the emperor, not to mention that his sister is a woman in the palace, just to say that Ji Wu was hung in front of the Yue Mansion......
But he had already learned the news in advance, it was another emperor who did this, according to Xin Ciying's idea, even if the official family was unwilling to put this matter down, he had to help him put this matter down, so he would ask the official family to spare his eldest brother's life at the beginning.
The old man knows too well, since he hurt his brain, the whole person of Zhao Guan's family has changed his personality, he has said many things that he dare not say, and many things that he dare not do have been done. This includes both the Jin people and the literati.
treats the Holy Emperor of Xiaoci Yuan, even if he doesn't want to admit it, Xin Ciying always feels ...... The official family can do it, and they can do it.
In addition, the official statement was made earlier today......
Xin Fuzun, who was upright, suddenly became a little deflated now, and Wang Xiaoer's appearance was undoubtedly for the official family who had already ignited his anger, and added a large bundle of dry firewood.
For a while, facing the young man who had been bowing down in the hall, Xin Ciying completely lost the seriousness he had with with regard to the group of Qiu Ba before, this person just reported his name, and he had already embarrassed Lin'an Mansion Yin there, unable to advance or retreat.
Not to mention Wang Xiaoer, even the people outside who are watching the excitement are a little curious...... Fuzun seemed to be unable to speak suddenly, some people guessed that he was communicating with Bao Gong, and some people saw that Wang Xiaoer was familiar, so they pointed out that he was the delirious Sibeilou family, thinking that Xin Fuyin recognized him, so he was reluctant to talk.
But in short, it's not a matter to press it like this, everyone is excited to prepare such a stage, and they can't just start singing and end up sloppy.
Xin Ciying cleared his throat and persuaded softly:
"Why don't you go to the back hall and wait first, and then come and listen to your affairs after the palace has finished interrogating other people?"
Wang Xiaoer has a simple brain, but he is also prone to make mistakes:
"Mansion Venerable Mingjian, knowing that you are here to ascend to the hall, the villain rushed over as soon as possible...... Everyone is queuing up, but why do you want the villain to wait? ”
"What the villain wants to say is not a trivial matter of stealing chickens and touching dogs, but a real and real matter of human life! Fuzun ...... Please, please call the shots for the villain! ”
If you want to say that there is an advantage of this mansion front hall, it is that it is big enough.
So loud that everyone's voice comes out, there can be an echo in the past, so that everyone can hear it clearly enough.
Everyone only heard that what he was going to say was a homicide case, and they couldn't help but be a little restless...... These soldiers brought by Wang Xie not only took money, but also took people's lives!
Since the arrival of Emperor Zhao in Lin'an City, this law and order is of course the first in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is very rare to hear some fights and brawls on weekdays, not to mention the life lawsuit.
For a while, they all turned their heads again.
Xin Ciying secretly glanced at the emperor next to him, but saw that he was just wiping his sweat by himself, as if he didn't care about what was happening behind him...... Thinking that the official said that even if he wanted to move, he would not choose to make a move today, and the old man had some confidence.
He said to Wang Xiaoer:
"The government decides the case, and it has its own reason, don't say too much, it delays other people's hours."
On the one hand, he called the messengers on both sides:
"Let's take him to the back hall first and wait, and when this is over, the government will go to find him."
Everyone didn't know the identity of this person, and with Xin Ciying's words, the two of them stood up, holding Wang Xiaoer's arm, and wanted to take him outside.
Thinking that Ji Wu's body was still hanging at the door of Nayue's mansion, but he couldn't even collect the body for him, and he thought of his father's instructions when he went out......
After all, he was still a young man, helpless, confused, aggrieved, sad, and many emotions came to his heart, and he finally shouted:
"Fuzun avenges the villain! That Guangshi killed my brother, that Guangshi killed my brother! ”
He kept screaming, as if he was afraid that Xin Ciying would not hear clearly, and he cried while shouting, which really looked a little pitiful.
"Slow!"
Xin Ciying had already stood up from the first sentence he shouted, beckoned the two of them and brought Wang Xiaoer, who had already arrived at the door, in, and the shocking wood he was holding in his hand had not been put down, so he pointed at Wang Xiaoer with that thing and said:
"You say...... The person who killed your brother was Xiang Guangshi? ”
Wang Xiaoer had already knelt down and kowtowed to him several times in a row:
"It's Xiang Guangshi, it's Xiang Guangshi, this incident happened in Yue Shaobao's mansion, and everyone in the mansion testified!"
Xin Ciying breathed a big sigh of relief, although everyone didn't know why he made such a gesture, but really, he saw his relieved expression in his eyes.
Seeing that the emperor was still facing away from him, Xin Ciying's mentality suddenly changed dramatically, if he was the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan, then this matter could not be done, at least not now.
But if the person involved is that Guangshi...... Xin Ciying can't wait to do it immediately, urgently, quickly.
only heard the sound of 'pop', and the shocking wood was slapped on the table by him, and Xin Ciying seemed to be possessed by Bao Gong, and turned into a blue sky again.
"Wang Xiaoer, let's talk about your grievances in detail, don't miss any details!"
"If what you say is true, this government will give you justice!"
Wang Xiaoer hurriedly made several gestures, and then while sobbing, he told all the things in Yue's mansion yesterday.
It turned out that Ji Wu felt that he had saved a disaster for Yue Shaobao's family last time, so he had always regarded himself as the guardian of Yue Mansion...... He has been playing for a long time, and he can be regarded as finding a mission for himself.
After being injured by Zhao Shicheng before, he learned the news of the change in Lin'an City from Wang Xiaoer's mouth, so he couldn't sit still even more, and went to Yue's Mansion to guard whenever he had time.
But he was alone, he could keep the day, but he couldn't keep the night, thinking that there was no business anyway, so he thought about persuading Wang Xiaoer to follow him, and the two came in turns, Wang Xiaoer was reluctant at first, Ji Wu moved with affection and reason, and finally brought out his brother-in-law:
"You have to think that we are sharing the effort for the emperor's brother-in-law...... Even if you want to reward your daughter-in-law and son in the future, and you want to give me a general, it can't be rewarded in vain, there must always be a reason. ”
"People say 'no merit is not lost', we are not only helping Marshal Yue, but also earning a future for ourselves, this is called the fuck, it is called ......"
"It's called the teacher famous!"
Regardless of whether this is true or false, but he finally said that Wang Xiaoer was moved, he kept the night by himself, and Wang Xiaoer kept the day, taking turns, and he didn't even delay the New Year.
By the time it was early yesterday...... In winter, it is always easy to be trapped in bed, Wang Xiaoer got up late, and was thinking about handing over work with Ji Wu, when he met Zhao Huan and his party who went to visit.
"Damn, it's still here!"
Ji Wu saw that between them, the short man still followed...... I immediately judged the identity of these people, although I don't know who it is, but it must be a demon and a monster who has no way to run.
Thinking of this, he took Wang Xiaoer and went in through the back door...... According to Ji Wu's thoughts, he originally wanted to stop directly in front of Mrs. Yao and the others, but Wang Xiaoer thought about it a little more, in case people just came to sit and there was no incident, it would not be good to go out.
So, the two of them hid behind the wall for the time being and listened secretly.
Seeing that Mrs. Yao was much more polite to the person led by Mrs. Yao than to Zhao Shicheng, Ji Wu peeked while thinking,
That dwarf is a golden man, and Mrs. Yao is upright, why did she make a completely different appearance this time?
And without waiting for him to think about it, he heard the man who was at the head of the man:
"I heard a long time ago that Yue Shaobao has a mother like Meng's mother, and it seems that today it is indeed true."
"Yue Shaobao works for the country, and I have long thought about getting to know him, but unfortunately the situation is oppressive, so I have been unsatisfactory for a long time...... If he had followed me back then......"
The man shook his head and didn't continue, but as soon as he said 'I', Ji Wu already knew his identity.
This is the eldest brother of the official family who returned from the north and south, and the previous emperor of the Great Song Kingdom.
Ben came here, Ji Wu already had a plan to withdraw, after all, this person is not Zhao Shicheng, he is already the emperor, and the neighbors say that he will be the emperor in the future, the emperor! Bigger than the Emperor!
Thinking about it, he shouldn't have done anything to the Yue family, but as soon as he moved, he heard him say to Mrs. Yao:
"Ming people don't say secret words, I really like Peng to be tight, I don't know if Mrs. Tai is willing to introduce me to me?"
Originally, Mrs. Yao didn't have any other thoughts, but after hearing this, she seemed to understand something.
Plus the short man who followed him......
The old lady smiled: "Even if the old man is willing, he is not in Lin'an now...... If you want to see it, wait until he has driven out all the golden people, and then you will be able to see it when he returns. ”
Scholars like to go around in circles when they speak, and it is always disrespectful and indecent to speak bluntly.
Zhao Huan is also a scholar, so he naturally doesn't feel that Mrs. Yao can't understand what he means, so he simply changed his tone and said:
"Mrs. Yao, can I ask you a question?"
Mrs. Tai bowed: "You may ask." ”
"Do you think it's better for Yue Shaobao to follow me, or is it better to follow the ninth brother?"
This is almost to put it bluntly, Mrs. Yao knows her son's temperament very well...... He had what he wanted to insist on, so there was no way he would have to choose between two emperors.
For Yue Fei, these two people are both kings, both lords, and they are both people who want to respect, be loyal and obey orders, even if they are focused, they will not be too biased.
But ...... Now that this person is obviously here to force him to stand in line, Mrs. Yao thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision.
In other words, it was the mother who made the decision for her son.
He ...... It's better to follow Mingjun. ”
Zhao Huan stared at her eyes: "Who is Mingjun?" ”
"Right and wrong, good and evil, honor and disgrace, the world has long been decided, why do you knowingly ask?"
I don't know why, this old lady's bland words aroused the long-lost self-esteem in the heart of the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan, he blushed a little, if it wasn't for the constant reminder in his mind to be decent, maybe at this time, he would have lost his temper.
"You mean, I don't know, do you?"
Mrs. Yao was on crutches and did not answer him, but she had already said the answer.
"Mrs. Tai, you have gone too far."
"Even if Yue Shao retains his monstrous merits, you shouldn't say this."
Mrs. Yao lowered her head and drooped her head, as if she had really said the wrong thing, but her tone was still firm:
"The emperor in the Jingkang period is not the current official family after all."
"You ......"
Seeing that he seemed to be on fire, Ji Wu couldn't bear it anymore, and stood in front of Mrs. Tai like last time.
As soon as he appeared, Zhao Huan, who was originally not good at seizures, had an outlet for catharsis, and what happened later was ...... Everybody knows it.
Wang Xiaoer specially hid some details about Ji Wu and Zhao Huan, but Liu Bang, who had been listening to the side, knew that Ji Wu's kid definitely didn't spit out any good words in his mouth.
And Wang Xiaoer didn't have the scheming to hide it for the two of them, he must have been taught to him by someone to say such a thing.
Thinking of this, he did not appear, but hid behind the messenger on the left, silently watching and listening.
The emperor thought of it, and Xin Ciying also thought of it, but it was rare for someone to bear the charge of the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan...... To be precise, it was to be able to bear the charge of killing the emperor's brother, he thought about it and asked:
"As you say, it was that Guangshi who killed your brother."
Wang Xiaoer kowtowed again: "The villain doesn't dare to hide it, exactly!" ”
Xin Ciying handed a token to the person next to him:
"Someone bring Xiang Guangshi over!"
This head of the Western Army, who was still the number one figure in the Great Song Kingdom earlier last year, although he didn't know how to offend the emperor later, and even his surname was changed, but after all, his connections and reputation for many years were there, except for the Zhao official family, no one dared to really treat him as a grass people.
At this time, seeing that this murder case was actually involved in the previous grandfather of the country, this is no longer something that a few big-headed soldiers can count, while glad that he did not come in vain, he was able to see the person on trial, and on the other hand, he was convinced again that the Lin'an Mansion was real.
It's not a show.
Not long after, when Xiang Guangshi was invited to this mansion, he saw Wang Xiaoer on the side at first sight.
He was a little frightened, and hurriedly asked:
"I don't know what is the matter with Your Excellency's summoning of a certain person?!"
Xin Ciying slapped the startled wood, quieting the people watching the excitement outside, and then shouted:
"Xiang Guangshi, you are careless of human life, can you be guilty?!"
After all, he has seen a big scene, and Xiang Guangshi just arched his hand:
"Where do you start?"
Xin Ciying only thought that after all, he was doing something for the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan, so only that person could save his life.
He's not stupid, if he doesn't get involved, he may still have a chance of life, but if he gets that one in, no one in the world will save him.
In this way, Xin Fu Yin repeated what Wang Xiaoer said before, and Xiang Guangshi's eyes widened more and more when he heard it.
By the time he finished speaking, Xiang Guangshi was already very angry, he wanted to arrest Wang Xiaoer, but he was held on the ground by the messengers on both sides, and he couldn't move anymore.
"Xiang Guangshi! Above the court, do you still want to mess around?! ”
"It's none of my business, it's none of my business!"
He quickly blushed, and as he spoke, he looked at Wang Xiaoer incredulously:
"How can you smear people's innocence out of thin air? Except for the old man, no one has pleaded for your brother that day, why now, now you actually sue the old man?! ”
played with the eagle all his life, but was pecked by the eagle in the end, this sentence is very suitable to describe Xiang Guangshi.
He has done bad things all his life, and finally did a good deed, not only was he not thanked, but he got into trouble for himself.
Good people don't have good rewards, it makes a damn sense!
And Wang Xiaoer didn't dare to look at him, buried his face elsewhere, looking at their appearance, Liu Bang already knew most of it in his heart.
Xin Ciying didn't care too much, ten out of ten people who came here said that they were wronged, if Xiang Guangshi was so easy to subdue the law, he would not be Xiang Guangshi.
"Then you will die clearly!"
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xiaoer again and said:
"What you said before, everyone in the Yue Mansion can testify, is this true?"
Wang Xiaoer said: "It's absolutely true. ”
"Please come over from Yue's Mansion!"
Xiang Guangshi saw that Wang Xiaoer still didn't change his words, and he was already very angry:
"You're a femme fatale! The old man gave up his face at that time, just to ask your brother to be safe! He died, what does it have to do with the old man? ”
"If you repay virtue with resentment, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
looked at Xin Ciying again:
"Even if the official family believes in you, they can't help it, looking at the 'fairness and honesty' on your head, you must know that this Lin'an Mansion is not your hall!"
"This lawsuit is going there, and the old man has to accompany him, don't think about defiling a certain without evidence!"
"A certain family has been for the country for generations, even if it is useless, it will be bitter, if you dare to come nonsense, the official family will not let you go!"
"Every day, every day!"
No wonder he was so excited, it was really the taste of being stabbed in the back, and it was really uncomfortable.
What's more, he is still innocent and has done good deeds.
After a while, Mrs. Yao was also invited, and everyone saw that more and more people were involved, and even Yue Shaobao's mother had arrived, and they were extremely looking forward to this case.
According to word of mouth, the people who have held back for almost a month and have no place to have fun have finally found the first good thing of the year.
For a while, there were more and more people watching the excitement outside the mansion, and there were many people rushing here, some people looked at the front, and told the people behind them about the situation inside, and passed them on one by one, but no one was left behind, and they were all involved.
Li Wa helped Mrs. Tai, Xin Ciying hurriedly brought the chair over in person, and did not dare to sit high, but asked face-to-face:
"Madame, do you know this?"
She glanced at Wang Xiaoer: "Don't hide it from Fuzun, I know." ”
"That's good! May I ask Mrs. Tai, this person said that his brother was beaten to death in Yue's mansion, I don't know if there is such a thing? ”
"It is true."
"That guy is the one next to you?"
Mrs. Yao sat on the chair, half-bowed, and carefully looked at Xiang Guangshi.
The old man was old, and he was actually not a few years younger than his mother-in-law, and he looked at her with hope at this time:
"Well, you see, only one of you said justice in your house that day?"
Xin Ciying reprimanded angrily: "Don't disturb the old lady's mind, dare to say more, and serve the powerful stick!" ”
Mrs. Yao looked at it for a while, and finally sat up straight:
"It's not."
"Did you hear that, Xiang Guangshi, you still dare to be cunning......
Before the word "quibble" was finished, Xin Ciying was stunned.
On the contrary, Xiang Guangshi heard it and couldn't stop thanking him:
"You know, you know!"
Liu Bang looked at the world's No. 1 mother, this was the first time he had seen her.
He already had a plan in his mind, and he probably knew what they meant.
The people sharpened the knives and handed them over, and it would be too rude if they didn't express themselves.
Although Xin Ciying was a little sluggish, he finally sensed that something was wrong, and he said forcefully:
"Mrs. Tai, you can take a look, this is the murderer personally identified by Wang Xiaoer, but don't be mistaken."
Mrs. Yao looked at Wang Xiaoer:
"Is that him?"
Wang Xiaoer looked at Xiang Guangshi, the latter's cannibalistic eyes were indeed a little terrifying, he quickly looked away and looked at Xin Ciying:
"Thanks to Mrs. Tai's reminder...... Like, it really isn't. ”
Xin Ciying felt that he had been tricked, the old man was originally a violent temper, and pulled Wang Xiaoer's collar:
"Above this court, there is no room for play!"
"It's not Xiang Guangshi, the ...... who killed your brother"
Halfway through his words, he stopped.
He looked at Wang Xiaoer and finally understood.
This person is not a fool, he knows that if he wants to sue the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan, no one in the world will dare to accept it except for the official family.
Lin'an Mansion is the same, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's for Zhao Huan, it doesn't matter if it's for the official, whether it's a loyal minister or a traitor, no matter which side of the person is on, he won't take this matter.
After that, Zhao Huan's life is small, and the official family will really become the emperor who is spurned by the people of the world, and even in a hundred or a thousand years, someone will take this matter out, and it will become a black spot that the official family can never erase.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoer was falsely accused from the beginning, and Xiang Guangshi was indeed innocent.
This person's purpose was originally on the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan.
Xin Ciying wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"This case is full of suspicions, first, let's postpone it for the time being, and then try it at a later date!"
When everyone saw Mrs. Yao testifying to Xiang Guangshi instead, they all wanted to see who the real culprit was, but they didn't want to wait for such a sentence from Fuzun.
Suddenly, the discussion began again.
Xiang Guangshi was happy to see him deflated, knowing that he didn't want to offend and couldn't afford to offend, and he was innocent at this time, so he broke away from the person holding him and stood up:
"What's the matter, what is Xin Fu Yin worried about?"
"The suspect is an old man, you have to take it, and now you don't even ask who the real murderer is, so you have to try it again at another date."
"Isn't it, you have a relationship with the real murderer, and you deliberately cover it up?!"
Xin Ciying glared at Xiang Guangshi, after all, he hadn't done anything wrong, and now he finally did it once, and he was pointed out.
For a while, I didn't know what to say.
Fortunately...... With a hand on his shoulder, Liu Bang said in a low voice:
"The people treat you as a blue sky, you can't smash your own signboard by yourself."
"Official ......"
"Don't worry about anything else, just be fair."
Xiang Guangshi looked at the poorly dressed emperor, and never missed him like now, and when Wang Xiaoer saw it, he wanted to talk to him, but he was a little scared......
Both of them were a little hesitant and fell into contradictions.
Liu Bang looked at Wang Xiaoer:
"Whoever kills your brother will tell the real culprit."
"Sister...... Your Majesty......"
Wang Xiaoer's tears fell, but he found that the emperor had supported him and made himself stand up straight.
"Speak, speak louder, so that all can hear."
Xiang Guangshi's heart was raised...... He didn't expect that when he saw this again, he didn't even enter the imperial city, so he went directly to tear his face.
"Your Majesty, Dad asked me to take care of the fifth brother...... It's my fault, it's all my fault! ”
Hearing him mention the old king's head, Liu Bang patted him on the shoulder:
"It's okay, I don't blame you, just say it, I'll make the decision for you."
Wang Xiaoer wiped his tears:
"Yes, yes, yes......"
He swallowed for a long time, and when he saw his brother-in-law's eyes, he finally shouted:
"It's the emperor, it's the Holy Emperor of Xiaociyuan!"
Without waiting for the noise of the people outside, Liu Bang opened his mouth and said loudly:
"There is only one emperor, and the person you are talking about ......"
"Yes, Zhao Huan!"
They all heard, and all heard.
Xin Ciying once again felt that he had lost his strength, and looked at the emperor with some concern.
