Chapter 267: Leaking Mouths
The brothers and sisters of the Hai family both felt that it was likely that the Jin family really buried a woman in the name of the Xu family in the capital back then.
Aunt Jin is not a shrewd woman, and the details of taking care of the patient and the prescriptions that the patient has taken do not seem to be made up. She even said the address of Xu's burial, if she lied, wasn't she afraid that the Chang'an Mansion would really send someone to the capital to dig a grave?
If such a tomb exists, and there is indeed a young woman buried in the grave, her identity is very questionable.
Does Concubine Xu Xian know that there is such a woman in the family? Since Empress Dowager Zhou would say that Concubine Xu Xian's sister "Jin Xu" died of illness after leaving the palace, Concubine Xu Xian should know that someone was buried in the grave instead of herself, right?
Who could this woman be? Why did the second room of the Jin family dare to let her be Xu's stand-in? Aren't they worried that her family will come to the door?
And also...... How did this woman die? Was it a normal death, or was it poisoned by the second room of the Jin family?
What role does Jin Juren play in the whole thing?
The brothers and sisters of the Hai family have many mysteries in their hearts, so they can only continue to pay attention to the interrogation news on Huang Zhutou's side.
Jin Miao, Jin Liu's family, and Aunt Jin have always been vague about Xu's death, only saying that she died of illness by herself. But their words and deeds before and after her death, as well as their different statements, are very suspicious. Huang Zhifu and Huang Zhutou had the heart to dig deeper, but the Jin family insisted on refusing to spit.
After the trial, the three members of the Jin family even told the fact that after leaving Beijing and returning to their hometown, they occupied the Changfang Tianfang house and drove Jin Juren to live in a side hospital, and refused to find out the real cause of Xu's death.
Regarding the seizure of the Jin family's property, the three of them still have their own reasons, and they all feel that they are right.
Jin Miao thought that it was natural for his family to occupy the property of the long house, and Jin Juren caused them to be forced to return to their hometown, and in the face of the huge debts owed, they should naturally take out the property to pay off the debts for them. And after the debt is paid off, there is no money in the second house, and of course Jin Juren should support everyone. As for driving Jin Juren to live in the side courtyard - he brought a milk doll and two or three servants, and the population was not large, so wouldn't it be a waste to occupy a large courtyard? The main courtyard is large and there are many houses, so it is just right for them to live in a second room. Cousin Jin Juren himself didn't protest, what do outsiders have to say?
Jin Liu's knew that her in-laws and husband were taking the property, but she told her sister-in-law that she had filled the house for Jin Juren, which was regarded as compensation to Jin Juren, so she didn't owe him anything. As for her sister-in-law, who failed to marry Jin Juren at the beginning, and married someone else instead, but was divorced for disobeying her elders and mutilating her concubines, it was all a side branch. No matter how bad the sister is, she is also a big living person, and she gave birth to a son for Jin Ju, what is there to be picky about? Her sister-in-law and Jin Juren are a pair made in heaven, even if they have encountered the obstacle of the Xu family, they will have to achieve marriage sooner or later. After Jin Juren remarried, didn't he live well? There is food and drink, food and clothing are not worried, and it is a good life in the countryside. It's a pity that this time it was killed by the bad guys! Pity her sister-in-law and nephew also went to Huangquan together, all of them were involved by Jin Juren! Take a little property from him, it's already cheap for him! Jin Liu also felt that his family had suffered a big loss.
As for Huang Zhutou asking her, why did she take the initiative to confess the whereabouts of her sister and brother-in-law when the killer questioned her? Why didn't you pity the life of your sister's nephew at that time? Jin Liu was speechless, and could only mumble something more important about his own life and that of his children.
Aunt Jin knows that her parents and brothers are not reasonable, but she is a widowed and weak woman, and she has to look at the faces of her relatives, so where can she have the leisure to fight for Jin Juren? At most, she just took pity on Jin Jiashu, who lost her mother and was mistreated by her stepmother, but except for a few words of pity, she didn't reach out to help him, anyway, he still had his mother's trusted nurse taking care of him, so she didn't need to worry about it at all.
Huang Zhutou asked her, why did she tell the killer where Jin Juren went? She blushed and said with shame that she was afraid. Even if the killer hadn't stabbed at them at that time, she was terrified. As long as she can coax people away as soon as possible, she can do anything!
The three of them confessed all the subsequent evil deeds in the second room of the Jin family, and also exposed their true temperament, and Huang Zhifu and Huang Zhutou were embarrassed to hear it. What they don't understand the most is that where did the Jin Juren, who was tossed so badly, come from, and he was still willing to love such a relative, and even took them with him when he ran for his life?
Governor Huang informed the Zhenguo Mansion of all the information obtained from the interrogation. The Zhenguo Mansion originally didn't plan to interfere, but when he looked at the confession of the Jin family, he felt that it would not work like this.
Concubine Xu Xian's sister is clearly dead in vain, if it is really the second room of the Jin family, she must be interrogated clearly and understandably before she can give an explanation to Concubine Xu Xian! After figuring out the truth, Chang'an Mansion can also let the murderer who killed the Xu family be punished by the law, so as not to prevent the Xu family from being killed for many years and having injustice.
Zhenguo Gong sent General Saturday and the old military division to the Chang'an Mansion, and secretly interrogated Jin Miao, Jin Liu, and Aunt Jin together with Huang Zhifu. This time, the place of interrogation was no longer in the prison, and there were no irrelevant prisoners or jailers among the people present.
As for the results of the interrogation, Huang Zhutou didn't mention it to Haijiao. If Hai Jiao hadn't gotten the news from his cousin Xie Wenzai, he wouldn't have known that such a secret interrogation had taken place.
During this interrogation, the Huang Governor directly informed the three members of the Jin family that they knew that the Xu family had entered the palace as a nurse, but escaped from the palace after the fire in Kunning Palace.
This is exactly the secret that the second room of the Jin family has been keeping all along, and when they learned that the government knew the inside story, the three of them were so frightened that they turned pale, and Jin Miao blurted out directly: "What? She escaped?! Didn't die in the palace?! ”
Governor Huang, General Saturday, and the old military division immediately felt that something was wrong.
Since the Jin family buried the Xu family in the capital, how could they not know that the Xu family had escaped from the palace? If she hadn't fled home, how could she have died of illness at home, and how did the Jin family bury her?
After Jin Miao finished saying that, her color immediately changed, and she knew that she had missed her mouth.
Jin Liu's family and Aunt Jin were both present, but the former reacted quickly and immediately mocked: "Second uncle, you naturally don't know, you were still drunk and dreaming in the gambling house at that time!" How do you know what's going on at home? Later, Xu Qiuniang died of illness, didn't we tell you? Did you always think we were coaxing you?! ”
Aunt Jin said timidly: "The little brother must have misunderstood, thinking that we were afraid of letting people know that Brother Sen's daughter-in-law had entered the palace, so we lied to outsiders that she was sick and died." But the coffin is not empty, he also helped to carry the coffin to the car, why has he been misunderstood until today?! ”
No matter how stupid Jin Miao was, she reacted, and quickly changed her words: "How did I know that she really escaped back?" I always thought you were coaxing me, and the coffin was filled with bricks. No wonder, I'll just say where are you so smart that you still know how to lie and deceive people, just because Jin Sen came up with the idea. It turned out that the person in the coffin was really Xu's mother-in-law! ”
Huang Zhifu raised his eyebrows: "You have been vague about what happened before Xu's death, in fact, it is because you were not at home at all at the time and did not know, right?" So why didn't you tell the truth before? You still have to lie in front of the official?! ”
Jin Miao shrunk her neck: "I...... I'm just afraid that you'll say I'm a gambler...... Actually, I've already changed it! Don't gamble anymore! ”
Huang Zhifu swept the eyes of his right hand, which was missing a tail finger, snorted coldly, and did not speak.
He squinted at the three Jin family members kneeling on the ground, looking at their pale faces and sweating profusely frightened appearances, he always felt that something was wrong.
