That night, the city lord of Xiaoyang claimed that tomorrow was the big festival in the country, and he needed to prepare with all his heart to show his piety, so he didn't go back to the back house at all, and stayed alone in the lobby, and the front and back doors were guarded by personal guards, and no one was allowed to disturb without permission.

After dawn came, one of the guards came to the hall and said, "Lord of the city, your wife went to visit the prison after dark, and had a secret conversation with Master Ding Gong for a long time. As soon as the morning dawned, the coachman of Master Ding Gong left the city. ”

Xiao Yang nodded expressionlessly: "What did Master Bingshi say over there?"

The guard replied: "The master of the soldier has already replied, he will personally follow, and before that person leaves the jurisdiction of Yeliang City, he will take it down and interrogate it on the spot." ”

The city lord of Xiaoyang didn't seem to want to talk about this matter anymore, and asked again, "How is the preparation of the Great Sacrifice?"

Guard: "Once ready, you can start as usual." ”

Before the tiger baby left yesterday, she didn't have any extra explanations, only that she was afraid that Shaowu would also come after the national sacrifice. Sent people to pay attention to the movements of the prison, and found that someone urgently went out of the city to deliver the letter to Xifeng City, so he ordered the soldiers to secretly follow him and take him down for interrogation, these are all arrangements made by the city lord of Xiaoyang himself.

......

On the day of the winter solstice, the country of Ba Mu held a national festival. The monarch and the young minister personally officiated in the national capital, and the twelve pillars in the square in front of the palace once again showed the shadow of the towering wood. Not only in the national capital, but also in each castle at the same time, the lord of the city will preside over the sacrifice, and the people of the whole country will worship the gods of the national sacrifice, Taehao and Yanzhao.

The national festival is attended by the entire population, and now that the territory of the country has more than doubled, the number of people worshipping the god of the national festival is also increasing. The fate asked Shaowu to worship her as the god of national sacrifice after unifying Ba Yuan, and I am afraid that he also took a fancy to this.

The ceremonies of each city were held in the square in front of the city lord's mansion, and the city lord of Xiaoyang did not dare to slack off. After the ceremony, on behalf of the king, wine is given to those who have titles in the city, and the sacrifices are distributed to the vassals to show the gifts of the gods. However, the soldier who was supposed to lead the garrison of the city in the square to maintain order did not appear at this moment, and it was said that there was an urgent matter at home.

It's nearly dusk when everything is done. The lord of the castle did not return to his home, but gathered with the magnates of the castle to drink at night, and it was said that this banquet was set up to thank the gods and the king, but in fact, it was to find a reason to get together and drink. Only on this day can everyone openly set up a table to drink.

Wine is a sacrifice to the gods, and it's okay to drink it privately on weekdays, but except for special occasions given by the king, it is always unruly to drink in public, so today is a rare opportunity.

The lord of the castle seemed to have drunk a little too much, and returned to the mansion at noon the next day. Still not entering the back house, he sat alone in the lobby to sober up, when the guards came to report that the lady had made tea and asked to see the lord of the city. Madame served tea to sober him up, and the city lord of Xiaoyang couldn't stop him anymore, so he ordered the guards to let her in.

Mrs. Xiaohuan held a plate in her hand, and there was a cup and pot for tea on the plate, and after putting the things down, she suddenly knelt down in front of Xiaoyang. Crying: "The Ding Gong clan is worried about extermination, and I also ask my husband to save me." ”

Xiaoyang was startled, stretched out his hand to pull her up and said, "You and I are husband and wife after all, sit down and talk." Did you just talk about your uncle?...... This matter has been brought to court and known all over the city, and I have reported it to the monarch overnight, and of course I have to inquire clearly, so what is the use of you coming to beg me?"

Mrs. Xiaohuan: "My uncle just looked at the demon girl back then. That's why he bought her so that she would no longer be tortured by the murderers. No one knows about this, and now that life is going well, how can anyone suddenly complain? I don't know who the person who made the accusation is. Presumably, he also has a lot of status, and he should have another purpose.

If the husband let that man's purpose succeed, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the king that such a thing happened in the country? That man sued two cases at the same time, and it was just a trivial matter to mention my uncle, and the primary purpose was to target Peng Keng's talents. If my uncle's case is big, no matter how the case in Master Peng Keng's mansion is decided, it will be criticized.

The husband can be valued by the king, and he became the lord of a city at a young age, of course, because of his relationship with Wufuqiu, how can you let such a thing happen? I am afraid that even you will not be able to bear the consequences, and you will also be implicated, if you do not handle it properly......"

Xiao Yang interrupted her and said, "No matter what you say, this has happened. ”

Mrs. Xiaohuan waved her hand and said: "No, no, no, husband, don't be in a hurry, since you are going to be retried in court in eight days, there is still room for this disaster to be resolved." ”

Xiao Yang wanted to speak and stopped: "I am not in a hurry, and I know the consequences of this matter, so I have to investigate the truth thoroughly." Since you have married into my family, and you are also a person who has left the clan according to the etiquette and law of the country, if you do not know in advance and do not intervene in this matter, after it is found out, no matter who comes to deal with it, I will do my best to ensure that you are not involved. ”

Mrs. Xiaohuan said eagerly: "It turns out that the adults still think about the kindness of husband and wife in their hearts, and they want to protect me from being implicated, but you and the Ding Gong clan have a marriage, if the trouble can't end, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect yourself." ...... For the sake of a lowly demon girl, can you bear to watch my grandfather and my uncle in trouble? And this is not the slightest benefit to you, it is also a disaster. ”

Xiao Yang took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and said, "Lowly demon girl?"

Mrs. Xiaohuan said hatefully: "I just found out the day before yesterday, it turned out that she was the snake girl of the Southern Wilderness, no wonder she was so charming, which made my uncle fascinated all day long." When my uncle bought this cheap maid, he thought he was just greedy for beauty, and it was nothing with his identity. But the uncle regarded the cheap maid as a forbidden woman and indulged in charm, no wonder everyone in the family looked at the demon girl unpleasantly.

If that cheap maid is just an ordinary woman, it is not a big deal to buy a slave and maid in the house. But she was a demon girl from the Southern Wilderness Snake Pattern Clan, and she brought great disaster to the Ding Gong clan. ...... Uncle just didn't listen to persuasion, if he hadn't been confused by the demon girl and dealt with it earlier, how could there be today's thing!"

Xiao Yang said in a deep voice: "You should also know the origin of Wufuqiu and the Serpentine Clan now, no matter what, someone kidnapped the Snake Clan's woman, and your uncle, as a national worker, didn't report it, and even colluded with him and bought the Snake Girl as a confiner, which is a big taboo, and the participants are all implicated."

You blame her for why she is a woman of the Southern Wilderness Serpentine Clan, and she is from such a background, which is not to blame herself. Even if she is an ordinary woman in the world, your uncle is suspected of being an accomplice in buying the abducted woman from the murderers. As a national worker, even if he fails to arrest the murderer on the spot, he should report it to the city. ”

Mrs. Xiaohuan seemed to grit her teeth and made up her mind, leaned over and lowered her voice: "The husband really wants to push the Ding Gong clan to the disaster of extinction for the sake of a lowly demon girl. My uncle was fascinated by that enchantress, and what are you trying to do with her, who have been bewitched these days?"

Xiao Yang's fists were already clenched, and the green tendons on his head jumped, but he forcibly suppressed himself: "What do you want to say?"

Mrs. Xiaohuan: "If the husband is not deceived by the demon girl and wants to leave the demon girl after my uncle is convicted, then I will rest assured." This disaster can't be dissolved, there are some words, I don't know if my husband wants to hear it?"

Xiao Yang took a few deep breaths before saying, "You just have something to say." Let's talk about it. ”

Mrs. Xiaohuan: "Someone identified Anan as a snake girl, is there any evidence, and is it verified in court?"

Xiao Yang was slightly stunned, and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean by this? You must have inquired about the situation at that time, and it was not time to verify it in court, and it was inconvenient to verify this matter in court." But since that person dares to identify it, he is sure that he will not be mistaken, Anan himself is the evidence, and the national capital will send a master to verify it. ”

Mrs. Xiaohuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's still too late!" The person who identified it just stated that the slut was a snake girl, and there was no basis for what he said. It has not yet been verified in person. As long as Anan is gone, she can no longer be found in the world, and who can be sure that she is the snake girl, and this case is unsubstantiated.

Arrived at the church. My uncle could have accused the other party of buying the person's certificate and deliberately planting the scumbag, but afterwards the slut quietly fled, leaving my uncle speechless. The case was investigated to the end, as long as Anan did not go to court. It is impossible to determine the evidence, and the matter in the house of Lord Peng Keng will inevitably be reversed and convicted of a false accusation. In this way, my uncle will be fine. The Ding Gong clan can also be saved. ”

Xiao Yang's face was black, but now it had turned white, and he said from between his teeth, "How could Anan be inexplicable?"

Mrs. Xiaohuan suddenly got up and knelt down again, and said, "Husband, you may think that the demon girl is pitiful, but a cheap woman, which is more important than your in-laws, I believe you have your own consideration." She lives in our house, and this is the best chance, as long as it is done cleanly, and her bones are gone, and this matter can be stopped. It can not only protect the Ding Gong clan, but also keep you from being implicated, and not embarrass the monarch and the Peng Keng clan. ”

Xiaoyang was speechless for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "These words were taught by your uncle, right?"

Mrs. Xiaohuan bowed her head and said, "No matter who thinks of the solution, the husband only sees if it makes sense." If you want to never suffer from future troubles, you can't hesitate!"

Xiaoyang looked up at the roof and said, "At this time, I haven't forgotten to kill people and kill people, so vicious." I was also implicated in the crime of murder, so I had to conspire with him and cover up the matter completely. ”

Mrs. Xiaohuan said in a trembling voice: "This husband is also a wise choice, not only to save the Ding Gong clan, but also to save the face of the monarch and the Peng Keng clan, just need to get rid of that slut." ”

Xiaoyang gasped for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Xiaohuan, I was just an ordinary farmer in the village, my parents died early and were unknown, just because I passed on to Uncle Dajun as my son, and I am now rich and noble by the monarch's weapon. With my background and what I saw back then, I didn't have any extravagant thoughts about family affairs; your uncle was a national worker, and the Ding Gong clan was a big family in the city, and when he came to the door to propose marriage, the elders of my clan agreed without thinking about it.

After you got started, although you have a poor temperament over the years, and you have a good temper in arranging everything in the house, even in front of the servants, you don't care about calling me for instructions, but I can ignore all this. You're my lady after all, and it's okay for me to tolerate anything.

Listening to what you said, I really didn't know the inside story of Anan's matter at the beginning, and he was married and out of the clan, so he should have nothing to do with this matter. But today, you know the inside story, but you don't know how to avoid suspicion, and you come to me to beg and relay Ding Gongzhu's poisonous plan, which is absolutely intolerable. ”

Mrs. Xiaohuan raised her head and sobbed: "Husband, what do you mean by this, do you really want to break off righteousness......

Xiao Yang had already waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, take Mrs. back! Before this case is clarified, she must not be allowed to go out of the house for another half step." Then he couldn't help but say something, so he ordered the guards to take Xiaohuan away and send her back to the back house for temporary house arrest, so that she would not have the opportunity to participate in anything again.

In the empty hall, Xiao Yang's clothes were soaked in cold sweat, he got up and walked a few steps, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Lord, all the elders, Xiao Yang is guilty." (To be continued......)
