Chapter 167: Interrogation
After Geng Xingshuang went back, in addition to painting winter clothes, he also had to go to the embroidery workshop to discuss with the garmenters and embroidery girls what kind of fabrics and embroidery threads to use to better show the characteristics of the clothes, and called Geng Xingchen together, after all, good-looking clothes need to be matched with equally good-looking shoes or boots.
In addition to these, we also have to think about how to settle the Tao family, and let Wu Juan always pay attention to the movements of the Ningfeng County Ya.
Originally, I thought that Jiang Lianbu was transferred to the Ningfeng County Yamen, and from him he should be able to find out how the Yamen treated the two villains and who instructed them.
However, Jiang Lianbu pursued the fugitives outside the city that day, but it was only because the county government was not fast enough to arrest them, so he transferred people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and he was temporarily borrowed.
"But my eldest brother said that he is very familiar with the people in the county government, and he will help pay attention, and he will tell us on the day of the interrogation."
Jiang Xuefu heard about this from Jiang Lianbu, and the next day she went to Yannian Hall to visit Tao Yuyu, Geng Xingshuang was originally going to ask her uncle to pay more attention, but now it seems that it is better to trouble one person first.
Because the Tao family sister and brother were the injured party and were both injured, so after the county government came to ask about the situation that day, they did not immediately ascend to the court, and the case was originally promoted to the county government, so it was not until the fifth day that the county government came to Yannian Hall to inform that it was the second day to be promoted to the court to try the case, and the Tao family sisters and brothers needed to go to the court to testify.
At that time, the Tao family of three was no longer in Yannian Hall.
They now live in the backyard of the Yuan'an Dart Bureau, and after Geng Xingshuang wrote a letter to Hu Fengwei two days ago, he was about to ask Jinbao to deliver the letter to Yang Tianmo, and Yang Tianmo came to the door in person.
"Sixth Brother Yang, why are you here?"
Geng Xingshuang knew that Yang Tianmo was either studying hard behind closed doors during this time, or he made articles or tasted each other with Li Xu and others, or gave them to Li Xijiu, the head of Licai Academy and other great Confucians for review, and there were not a few months left until next year's spring, so the time was very tight.
"I heard my second sister-in-law say that you want to send a letter to my mother, and it just so happens that I am going to go to the Yuan'an Dart Bureau, so I came by the way to get the letter, is the letter written?"
Yang Tianmo came over not only to get the letter, for some reason, he had been in Pingcheng for so long before, and the contact with Ningdu City was to rely on Hongfu and Luxi to send letters back and forth, although he missed it, but it was not strong, but he was always sure in his heart that he would come back before the autumn season, and he would be able to meet at that time, it seemed that this determination could replace everything.
Now that I have returned to Ningdu, although I have not married, I want to meet often, and when I have the opportunity, I can't help but come over.
"I'll get it for you." Geng Xingshuang said.
Yang Tianmo naturally came, of course, he didn't take the letter and leave, seeing that Geng Xingshuang was going out, he asked, "Where are you going, I'll send you." ”
"Go to Yannian Hall."
On the way, Geng Xingshuang told the things that had happened in these days, and they had all made trouble with the yamen, so naturally there was no need to hide it.
"Zhan Pei hasn't come back yet?"
"There should be a few more days, Sixth Brother Yang, are you worried that Zhan Pei won't be able to ask anything from Mother Tan's mouth, or do you think that our guess is wrong, or that Mother Tan is not in Qi County?"
Yang Tianmo shook his head, "Are you worried that the person behind it is not good for the three members of the Tao family, aren't you worried that she will be bad for you and the eldest girl who are involved in this matter, and the eldest girl Zhu is guarded when she enters and exits, and the Zhenguo Mansion is even more tight, and no one dares to sneak attack, but ...... Zhanpei is not here, wherever he goes in the future, let Wu Juan and Zhujian follow, and let Wu Juan and Jinbao take turns to keep vigil at night, and I will find two more people to ...... together."
"No, Sixth Brother Yang, Wu Juan, Zhujian and Jinbao are enough, she is not good for the Tao family, she is afraid that her identity will be exposed, and she will attack me and Zhu Yan, what benefits can she get, is it just to vent her anger?"
According to Geng Xingshuang's understanding of Geng Xingbing, she is not the kind of person who only wants to vent her anger and disregard her own interests.
To put it mildly, Yang Tianmo didn't insist on finding two people to protect her, but it was also that time that he helped solve their problem and arranged the three members of the Tao family to the Yuan'an Dart Bureau.
Yuan'an Dart Bureau is a famous dart bureau in the entire Ningdu City, both bodyguards and people, but the price is very expensive, but because Yang Tianmo came forward, the other party gave in again and again in terms of price, if it wasn't for Zhu Yan's insistence on paying the silver, Geng Xingshuang felt that the other party was willing to take in the Tao family of three for free.
The people of the county government did not know that the Tao family was not in Yannian Hall, and because they didn't know how to place the three Tao family at that time, they left the address of Yannian Hall.
Just returned to Bofu from the Yuan'an Dart Bureau, the porter reported: "Six girls, I wish the big girl is here!" ”
Since the last time Zhu Yan said that he was going back to ask Mama Xiao beside Zhu Ni about the change in Pillow Chang back then, which family the second room of the Zhu family was staying in Xiaozao Village, Zhu Yan also came to Yannian Hall to visit the Tao family sisters and brothers in the past few days, but he never found a chance to test Mama Xiao.
Now I suddenly came to find myself, and I couldn't have asked something.
Thinking like this, Geng Xingshuang quickened his pace.
Geng Xingchen was accompanying Zhu Yan in Qingcui Courtyard, and when they saw Geng Xingshuang coming back, both of them stood up.
"What's wrong with you?" Geng Xingshuang was surprised.
"Sixth sister, fourth sister, she ...... Miss Tao was really hurt by her? ”
"Sister Shuang, the family where my second uncle and second aunt stayed in Xiaozao Village was the Tao family."
Geng Xingchen and Zhu Yan spoke almost at the same time, and Geng Xingchen, although Geng Xingshuang had revealed to her that Geng Xingbing was probably not Geng Cheng and Yao's biological flesh and blood, but the daughter of the farmer's family who was held wrongly back then, but because there was no evidence, just speculation, and as Geng Xingbing entered the Pingwang Mansion, there were fewer and fewer traces of her in this family, so Geng Xingchen subconsciously forgot about it.
Today, because Geng Xingshuang was not there, Zhu Yan thought that Geng Xingshuang had already told this sister with the best relationship, so he didn't hide it from her.
Geng Xingshuang sat down, drank a few sips of tea brought by the painting curtain, moistened his throat and said: "Whether the fourth sister did it or not, I don't know, I just guess, tomorrow the Yamen will be interrogated, let's go and see." ”
She replied to Geng Xingchen first, and then looked at Zhu Yan, "Did Mama Xiao notice why you inquired about this?" ”
Zhu Yan said: "It's strange to say, since Xiaoyu's accident, Zhu Ni has been sick, Xiao Mama has taken care of Zhu Ni wholeheartedly, almost undressed, so I haven't found a chance to ask her about it, today Zhu Ni's condition is improving, Xiao Mama is more leisurely, I let an old woman who is more familiar with her next to her, and she said some homely gossip with her, deliberately leading the topic to the things of the year, according to the old mama, Xiao Mama did not suspect it, and she also took the initiative to say that Zhu Ni does not look like the second uncle and second aunt, saying that it is because Zhu Ni is not good-looking, The personality is not good, and she is not loved by her parents, so the second uncle and aunt have not thought of taking her over these years, saying that she is a pitiful, except for her grandmother who really hurts her, no one hurts her. ”
Therefore, Mama Xiao can be said to be dedicated to Zhu Ni, after all, since Zhu Ni was born, it was Mama Xiao who served her the longest time and accompanied her.
"If the second girl Zhu is not born to the second lady of Zhu, Mama Xiao should be secretive, she mentioned that the second girl Zhu does not look like the second master Zhu and the second lady, but it proves that there is no problem with the identity of the second girl in Mama Xiao."
Geng Xingshuang said: "Either we guessed wrong, or Mama Xiao didn't know the inside story. ”
Zhu Yan nodded, "It's not just that Mama Xiao doesn't know, our family doesn't know now except for me, with my second aunt's temper, if she knew that Zhu Ni was not her own child, she would have made a fuss a long time ago, you haven't seen my second aunt, she is very good-looking, I think Xiaoyu is a little like her, although my second uncle is timid, but his appearance is not bad, just because the second aunt has never thought in the direction that Zhu Ni is not her own child, although she doesn't like Zhu Ni, at most she will leave her in Bofu, except that she doesn't receive her by her side, The other cousins and cousins of mine have them, and Zhu Ni also has them. ”
On the second day, the Yashengtang of Ningfeng County interrogated Ge Datian and Wu Hong, Geng Xingshuang, Zhu Yan, Geng Xingchen, Jiang Xuefu and others went to the tea shop near the Yamen to sit and wait for the news, which was transmitted in real time by the guards around Zhu Yan and Jinbao and others.
In the crowd crowded outside the yamen to watch the interrogation, in addition to the lively people and the neighbors near Tao's house, there were also some people who came with their own purposes, and they had to rush back to report to their respective masters after reading them.
