CH.9 Ma Sizhi
Although her father was an official, Qin Xiang really hadn't seen many officials in Kyoto.
One is that she is not favored, what activities do the wives and nobles of Kyoto officials in Suri, the Zhong family will only let her children go, and it will not be her turn; The second is that her father is a doctor of imperial history, and those officials in Pingsuri are all around her father, so there is no chance to meet her.
Qin couldn't help but be a little confused when she thought about it, what did the people of Dali Temple do looking for her? Could it be her father...... Ahh
Thinking of her father, Qin thought about it before remembering that she beat Yang Dagui last night.
Then Yang Dagui still has the face to sue Dali Temple...... No, even if she beats him, it won't be Dali Temple's turn to take care of it, at most it will be Kaifeng Prefecture's turn to be in charge. Only the big and serious cases of officials above the eighth grade, Dali Temple will manage it.
Qin Xiangxiang thought all the way to the flower hall in the outer courtyard to entertain outsiders.
Red Sleeves and Tim Xiang followed behind with a somewhat sleepy expression.
This time, it was still Wu Jiayi, the daughter of the Zhong family, who came forward.
She looked at Qin Xiangxiang with disdain, turned her head and smiled at the official messenger of Dali Temple: "My unworthy niece is here." ”
Dali Temple came to the official errand, a dignified appearance, about thirty years old, wearing an eight-grade official uniform. The other two are wearing the uniforms of the officials of Dali Temple, and they look fierce.
The man in the official uniform heard what Wu Jiayi said, his eyes fell on the red sleeves and Tian Xiang, and then he was a little puzzled: "Which one is the eldest lady of Qin?" ”
This can't be blamed on the official errand, just because Qin Xiangxiang doesn't have red sleeves and Tian Xianggao, he doesn't dress so well, and his momentum is not enough, his face is confused, and he looks like a little maid who is worried about his master.
Qin Xiang had to say to the official: "The concubine is the daughter of the Qin family, the eldest lady of Qin." ”
The official errand is the official errand, and when he heard this, he quickly adjusted his gaze: "Mrs. Qin, down is Ma Sizhi of Dali Temple." I came here today to ask Mrs. Qin some questions. ”
In Dali Temple, Dali Temple's Sizhi and Commentators are all first-instance judgments, and their tastes are all positive eight products.
Qin thought about it and was generous: "Ma Sizhi asks." ”
Ma Sizhi was softer: "Mrs. Qin went to Baoxiang Temple to burn incense yesterday?" ”
Qin Xiang thought about it and nodded: "Yesterday was the day of the death of the concubine's mother, and the concubine specially went to Baoxiang Temple to add sesame oil money to the deceased mother's immortal tablet. "No, no, could it be that she was too heavy last night and beat that Yang Dagui to death? It's impossible, her soles don't seem to be so strong, so Yang Dagui is not so fragile.
Ma Sizhi's gaze suddenly sharpened a little: "How long did Mrs. Qin stay in Baoxiang Temple yesterday?" ”
Qin Xiangxiang replied truthfully: "Yesterday, the concubine was going to leave, suddenly it rained heavily, and the concubine had no rain gear, so she stayed in the Baoxiang Temple until about time, seeing that it was late, the heavy rain was still majestic, and the guests in the temple kindly borrowed the concubine's hat and clothes, but before the Baoxiang Temple, the rain stopped." The concubine turned around and returned to Baoxiang Temple, and returned the hat and clothes to the guests. It was at this time that the concubine met Yang Dagui, the elder of Jiayan's side......"
She was about to get to the point, when Ma Sizhi carefully observed her expression and nodded slightly. It seems that Mrs. Qin is not a murderer.
Qin Xiangxiang continued: "Then Yang Dagui was about to meet with the outer room, and was bumped into by the concubine, and he actually wanted to cover the concubine to death, fortunately, the concubine has her own natural appearance, and she has the blessing of the deceased mother and the Buddha, so she can struggle to break free and escape from the Baoxiang Temple......"
Ma Sizhi was stunned: "Mrs. Qin is slow." "There is even a case within a case?
Qin Xiang Xiang obediently shut up. She seems to be talking too much.
Ma Si turned his head and asked the two officials: "Are there any others at the scene of the crime?" ”
The official shook his head: "No." ”
Qin thought about it and was stunned: "Ma Sizhi, what happened?" ”
Her expression was quite innocent, coupled with a malnourished appearance, Ma Sizhi immediately thought that Mrs. Qin was not having a good time in the Qin family.
In Shengguo, from a family like Qin Guanlan, the daughter of the grandson did not have a subordinate to accompany her on the death day of her deceased mother, not even rain gear. Thanks to Qin Guanlan, who still impeaches this and that all day long, how can he not care about his own affairs?
Wait a minute...... Mrs. Qin just said that Yang Dagui was the long-term follower of Qin Guanlan's side, and he appeared in Baoxiang Temple for no reason, and Li Zhuang happened to die in Baoxiang Temple......
It wouldn't be that Qin Guanlan was angry with Li Zhuang, so he asked Yang Dagui to kill Li Zhuang!
Ma Sizhi was so excited that he forgot to answer Qin Xiangxiang's words.
Qin thought about it and was extremely worried: "Could it be that when the concubine pushed Yang Dagui, he unfortunately died?" ”
No, Qin Guanlan has always been strict in impeaching others, and sent Chang Sui to kill Li Zhuang, but he happened to be bumped into by his own daughter, and Chang Sui also wanted to kill Qin Da Niang, no matter what, it is not in line with human nature.
Moreover, when he examined Li Zhuang's body, he said that Li Zhuang had many black and blue spots on his body, and he was obviously beaten up first, and then killed by a knife.
Although Ma Sizhi has only met Qin Guanlan several times, there are endless legends about Qin Guanlan, and he deeply feels that Qin Guanlan is very fond of impeachment, that is, if he wants to bring down his opponent, he will also use the means of impeachment, and will never use such a simple and crude method as killing.
Ma Sizhi finally came back to his senses from the fugue: "Lady Qin, have you heard of Li Zhuang and Li Yushi?" ”
Qin Xiangxiang nodded. Li Zhuang: Of course she had heard of it. Li Zhuang Li Yushi, who is on a par with his father, is one of the two people that Sheng Guo officials hate the most. Well, the other one is her dad.
Ma Sizhi said: "When Li Yushi was discovered by the intellectuals of Baoxiang Temple last night, he was already out of breath. ”
Qin Xiangxiang was stunned. Li Yushi actually died?
She looked excited: "That family Yan, will there be danger?" ”
She looks like a filial and obedient daughter.
Ma Sizhi shook his head: "Lady Qin, things other than the murder case, I forgive this official for not being able to assert it." ”
Qin thought about it and hurriedly said: "That Yan is the elder of the family, and Yang Dagui ......"
Ma Sizhi's expression was solemn: "If Yang Dagui is related to the murder case, this official will not spare it." The implication is that if Yang Dagui was instructed by Qin Guanlan, Qin Guanlan would not be able to escape.
He took his leave.
Before Ma Sizhi and his party left, Wu Jiayi immediately jumped out violently: "What are you talking nonsense just now?" Do you know what kind of situation your father will fall into? ”
She said so quickly that the spit spat splashed on the ground.
Qin Xiangxiang took two steps back, so as not to be affected by the spitting stars.
She said, "Why didn't you speak when the official was here?" Or are you weak-hearted, afraid that I will accuse you of abusing me in my house? ”
"You!" Wu Jiayi really didn't expect this stubble, and immediately felt a little weak.
Qin Xiangxiang said: "In the future, the monthly rations will be sent to my small courtyard regularly, and I will not go to the government to sue you for occupying the magpie's nest and withholding my dowry." ”
"My Zhong family was entrusted by my sister to live in the Qin family to take care of the house, my sister is the head of the Qin family, and it is not your turn to be a little girl." Wu Jiayi's mind is quite clear.
Qin Xiangxiang sighed, and glanced at Wu Jiayi with disdain: "Then you try again?" ”
She dropped this sentence and walked away with Red Sleeves and Tim Xiang.
Wu Jiayi jumped to her feet in anger again.
Mrs. Wang grabbed Wu Jiayi: Don't be angry, the old slave already has a good candidate in his heart. ”
Wu Jiayi didn't react for a while: "What? ”
Mrs. Wang said to the slave outside: "Fang Cai is straight, the old slave is not talented, and he happens to know him well." It is most suitable to choose him to be the husband of the eldest lady. ”
Aside from anything else, Ma Sizhi looks dignified, and he is an official, although he is a very low-level official, but he is also an official, with that little hoof, Wu Jiayi is really unwilling: "Mother Wang ......"
Mrs. Wang had long expected what she was going to say: "Big lady, listen to the old slave." Na Ma Sizhi, although he was an official, his family was poor, and most importantly, he married two wives before him died of illness, leaving two sick and crooked children respectively. "Coincidentally, when Mrs. Wang accompanied the Zhong family out before, she happened to see Ma Sizhi, and she happened to hear about Ma Sizhi's family affairs.
Wu Jiayi's eyes suddenly lit up. I didn't expect Ma Sizhi to look glamorous on the outside, but so bad on the inside.
In fact, she didn't care at all whether Qin Guanlan could be rehabilitated or whether the Zhong family could return to Kyoto. It's better not to come back, this Qin family's spacious mansion will be hers in the future!
With such an idea, how could she care if Qin Xiang could bring any benefits to the Qin family?
"But it's up to Mama Wang's arrangement." Wu Jiayi smiled and narrowed her eyes.
