Chapter 268: Whose Pot?
learned from his cousin Xie Wenzai about the reef where the interrogation passed, and he also felt that the confessions of the three members of the Jin family were wrong.
He said to his sister Haitang in private: "You and I both know that the Xu family didn't leave the palace at all!" The Jin family claimed that the Xu family was sick, so they were naturally lying, this was to prevent people from finding out that someone in their family had entered the palace and almost made a nurse for Empress Wu's child. But even if they lie, they may not be able to hide it from everyone. With their family's actions, I don't believe that when the Xu family was first selected by the Wu family, they would not show off in front of outsiders.
"Once they show up, it is inevitable that someone will denounce them to the Sun family afterwards. Even if the second room of the Jin family is stupid, Jin Juren will always think of this layer, otherwise why would he rush back to his hometown later? Even if the second room grabbed his property, he didn't say a word, wasn't it because he was worried that someone would expose it?! In such a frightened season, can Jin Miao still go out to gamble? It was not in their hometown of Zunhua Prefecture, but in the capital. Without money, which casino will let him in?! ”
Haitang nodded: "He didn't gamble, and he didn't have the money to gamble." The reason why he said this in front of the Huang Governor Mansion was just to cover up what he had said before, that is, he didn't know that the Xu family had escaped from the palace. Originally, he ...... And the people in the second room of the Jin family, they all thought that the Xu family died in the palace, right? ”
The people in the second room of the Jin family thought that Xu died in the palace, because they were worried that they would be implicated, so they made a woman who died of illness to replace Xu, claiming that she did not enter the palace, but died of illness, and took advantage of the opportunity to go out of the city to give the woman a funeral, and the family fled the capital.
Jin Juren later learned that the original partner did not die, but became a palace person of Cining Palace in the palace, and became the emperor's concubine a few years later, and the emperor ordered him to reward him with a box of gold, so he acquiesced in this matter and did not reveal the secret. He didn't even tell the people in the second room of the Jin family.
Considering that at this time, he had already been occupied by the people in the second room of the Jin family, and it was normal for him to be defensive against them in his heart, and he was no longer honest and close to them. When he left his hometown and went to Chang'an, he didn't plan to take the people in the second room with him. The people in the second room chased after him, and when he refused to hurry up on the way, he also decisively left the person behind and ran away. It can be seen that in the past few years, Jin Juren has really been tossed by the second room, and the family affection has been greatly discounted.
The reef has sorted out the whole thing, and now there is only one thing left that is unclear.
Who is the woman who was buried in the capital in place of Xu?
Did she die of a normal illness and happened to be used as a stand-in for the Xu family by the Jin family, or was she just sick, but was deliberately killed by the second room of the Jin family and used as a stand-in for the Xu family?
The brothers and sisters of the Hai family continued to pay attention to the news from the Zhenguo Mansion.
Unlike the brothers and sisters of the Hai family, neither the Zhenguo Mansion nor the Huang Governor's Mansion knew the secret of "Xu's not dead". They all think that the Xu family died after leaving the palace, although the Jin family once lied, but now the explanation sounds reasonable, it can be said that it is reasonable, the question is whether she died of normal illness, or was she killed by the Jin family?
Since Jin Miao was addicted to the gambling house at that time and was not at home, there was no value in continuing the interrogation. Huang Zhutou brought him back to prison, leaving only Jin Liu and Aunt Jin to continue to be interrogated.
Jin Miao was not there, and the two women seemed to be even more frightened and timid, and their faces were pale and tight.
In the face of the interrogation of Governor Huang and General Saturday, they repeatedly claimed that Xu died of illness, but when they said this, their expressions were obviously empty-hearted, who would believe it?
The old military advisor turned his head and suggested to Governor Huang whether the two women should be interrogated separately? Maybe the two of them have something that is difficult to say in person, and there will be no worries about interrogating them alone.
Governor Huang thought this suggestion was good, and was about to call someone, when he heard Jin Liu's sudden mouth.
She still insisted that she had never harmed Xu, but she also admitted that she had not taken care of the patient and was indifferent to Xu. She said: "At that time, it was the eldest sister who was waiting for the patient at the bedside, and she took care of what the patient ate and what medicine he drank, and she handled everything, and the women didn't know anything!" ”
When Aunt Jin heard this, she was immediately unhappy: "Brother Wu, what do you mean by this?" Are you saying that I killed people? Is it because I want to take care of the sick? It's not because you're not happy?! You yourself are ruthless and unrighteous, and you think that tuberculosis is easy to pass, and you refuse to even feed me a mouthful of medicine, not saying that I am idle at home, and force me to take care of it. I'm kind enough to take a hand, why are you still beating a rake?! ”
The two women quarreled on the spot.
On Saturday, the general and the old military division all frowned when they heard this, and the more Huang Zhifu listened, the more strange he felt. Jin Liu's and Aunt Jin didn't want to see Xu's, but they could listen to Aunt Jin's tone, as if Jin Liu's was the one who should have taken care of the patient. Because the Jin Liu clan evaded responsibility, Aunt Jin's resentment would be so big? But isn't the second old lady Jin disgusted with her nephew and daughter-in-law Xu? She would have allowed her own daughter to take care of the Xu family without ordering her daughter-in-law Jin Liushi to go?
Huang Zhifu deliberately did not stop the two women from arguing, wanting to see if they would reveal any secrets during the quarrel.
As he expected, the scolding war between Jin Liu's clan and Aunt Jin became more and more intense, and they had already begun to attack each other personally. One said that his brother-in-law deducted his own food and deliberately used old materials to make clothes for her, which was a stingy iron rooster; Another scolded the eldest sister-in-law for stealing jewelry from her mother-in-law, who was second only to the younger brother-in-law in the family. At first, it was just a trivial matter, and then the more I talked about it, the more it went too far.
Aunt Jin scolded Jin Liu's ruthlessness and unrighteousness, deliberately falsely accused her brother-in-law Hu Yuanwai, and caused him to die in prison, and Jin Liu's family seized the Hu family's property under the banner of a pair of children of the Hu family.
When Jin Liushi heard this, his face changed greatly, and he immediately shouted to stop the other party: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" My sister was beaten to death by her man, don't you know this?! The murder surnamed Hu pays for his life, when did I wronged him?! His children are still young, if I hadn't helped take care of them, they would have been swallowed by the Hu family! I was just kind, so I asked my husband to help my two nephews take care of the family business, when did I take their things?! When they grow up, the things will still be returned to them. Even if my eldest sister wants to pour dirty water on my head, she can't talk nonsense, right?! You always say I'm stingy, but I prepared your daughter's dowry, where is the loss to her?! If you say so, if you go back to your hometown after Ming'er, you will ask your daughter to return the dowry, and don't take advantage of the Jin family for the rest of your life! ”
Aunt Jin immediately closed her mouth, her face changed greatly, and she didn't dare to say a word again.
Jin Liushi took a few deep breaths, gritted his teeth, and then turned to Huang Zhifu and the others: "What the adults want to know, the women also understand. But adults also have to know that the women are also daughters-in-law, and they must obey their mother-in-law in everything. That Xu Qiu Niang...... When she returned home, she was indeed sick, but as for what kind of illness she was or what medicine she took, she didn't know anything. My mother-in-law didn't let me ask for a doctor, and she didn't let us see her, saying that she was pretending to be pitiful. What can a woman do? Naturally, I can only do what I am told. Jin Sen himself didn't say that he wanted to hire a doctor for the patient, and the woman was just a guest at his house, so how could she dare to make her own opinions? The adults may blame the women for not saving them when they see death, and the women admit it. But if you want to say that the folk woman deliberately killed someone, the folk woman will never dare to admit it! ”
So the pot is from the second old lady Jin Sen and Jin Sen Jin Juren?
Aunt Jin stared at Jin Liu's with wide eyes, her mouth moved, but she never said a word of rebuttal.
Governor Huang asked her if this was the case? Aunt Jin hung her head, whimpered a few times, and nodded heavily.
