Chapter 306: Reconciliation
Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao only went out with Guan Junyan and Yulian this time, and drove the spacious carriage all the way to the direction of Shuntianfu.
At the same time, Bai Yongchun, Marquis of An Lu, Zhang and Lao Taijun, had already rushed to the lobby of Shuntian Mansion in fear. Before they entered the door, they felt dizzy when they saw the people hearing the trial on the third and outer floors outside the lobby.
Bai Yongchun didn't know what was being sued, because he didn't do less than that kind of thing that harmed his daughter, and his face was black with anxiety. Zhang's was thinking about whether it was the Miao incident that happened, and Bai Yongchun was accused of hooking up with his mother-in-law? Or was the matter of prescribing cattle and sheep in Bai Xiyun's residence brought to court? Because of the current scene in the court, Bai Xiyun is obviously a popular person who is loved by the emperor, and there are many people who want to cling to him, but Bai Yongchun is the master that everyone dislikes. These people's ability to praise the high and step on the low has been perfected, will they let go of the opportunity?
Thinking about it, in the past two days, the catchers of Shuntianfu came to urge Bai Yongchun to drive the cattle and sheep away, and later, His Royal Highness King De also put pressure on him, so that Bai Yongchun had no choice but to obey the order to drive the cattle and sheep away.
Their family is also unlucky, and now the business deficit is big, and there is a mess of the Miao family, and the ancestral hall is burned down by fire, and the fishy shame on his body has not been washed, and he was invited to Shuntian Mansion again.
Along the way, they inquired several times, but the person who attracted them was really stunned, and refused to explain what was going on, but vaguely said that someone had hit the bell.
Hearing this, not only Zhang, but also Bai Xiyun and the sick old lady were stunned all of a sudden.
What is the bell of injustice, no one in the people of Dazhou does not know, as soon as the bell rings, the emperor will come out to try the case in person. Such a big lawsuit, the emperor was shocked, and it actually involved their heads, Zhang and Bai Yongchun were both as pale as dirt, and the old lady came all the way and almost fainted in the carriage. If it weren't for the fact that they would have to face the saint in a while, they really wanted to faint by themselves.
Zhang's nervous palms were sweating, and he helped the weak old lady, and the two glared at Bai Yongchun in unison.
Bai Yongchun rolled his Adam's apple and swallowed a mouthful of frightened saliva.
What the hell is going on!
Seeing that there were people dressed in errand service and people in brocade clothes, the common people knew that it must be someone from the Anlu Marquis Mansion who came. The people don't have much pastime on weekdays, this time they are all waiting to see the excitement and relieve boredom, at this time, everyone is staring at people with blazing eyes, curious to know what An Luhou looks like, the most curious is Mrs. An Luhou, what kind of woman is it, in order to compete for favor, throw away her own daughter, and then change the child in, and it is said that Mrs. An Luhou is not good to her adopted son, if it weren't for Bai Xiyun meeting a miracle doctor with excellent medical skills as his wife, maybe the grave grass will grow very high at this time.
The common people talked a lot and pointed their fingers.
Bai Yongchun pulled Zhang and Lao Taijun into the lobby. Because after being robbed of his official position, Bai Xiyun has not had to go to court for a long time, so naturally he has not seen the emperor for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will be in a complicated mood when he meets again at this time, embarrassed, nervous, worried, and has some hidden expectations of wanting to be reinstated.
Bai Yongchun took his family to salute.
The emperor felt sorry for Bai Xiyun, and when he saw Bai Yongchun, Zhang and others, he first lowered his eyes and looked at them, and then there was a long silence.
If the emperor did not speak, no one in the palace spoke. Lin Sansi and Zhou glanced at each other, and had already made up their minds to wait for the emperor to make the decision, anyway, it was useless for them to say anything, so they didn't say anything.
Although the Zhang family and the old lady are lifeworthy women and have been in the palace, after all, their family is gradually weakening, and they are not mainstream meritorious families, even if they see Wan Guifei, they can't speak, not to mention that in front of the emperor, they have indeed seen the emperor, but they have only seen it from afar. At this time, facing Tianyan, they couldn't help but feel panicked.
After a long time, the emperor spoke, and the words he said could really scare Bai Yongchun and Zhang to death.
"Bai Xiyun is not your biological son?"
The Bai family's head buzzed.
In the past, the old lady who could calm down the most, because the ancestral hall was burned down, was seriously ill, and then looked at the emperor's face at this time, listening to the emperor's majesty like a quenched ice slag voice talking about this matter, it was equivalent to directly poking the untouchable frightened part of her heart, the old lady's eyes rolled and she fainted directly.
The emperor just asked a word, and before the Bai family could answer, they had already fainted first, how to look at this scene and how to have content.
Glancing at the fainted old lady, the emperor snorted before he said, "Carry the person away, so that he can be saved." ”
"Yes. ”
There were guards who saluted and carried the old lady away directly.
At this time, Bai Yongchun and Zhang were already panicking. However, in the end, Bai Yongchun has been an official for many years, and he has no other skills, so he controls his face and does not show his true feelings, and he still has some ability. He was just silent, but the blood of horror was already flowing out of his heart, it was not fun to confuse the royal bloodline, if it happened this time, don't say it was them, even the native clan in the countryside would be affected, and it would depend on the emperor's mood to destroy the three clans or the nine clans.
Bai Yongchun sweated on his forehead.
Zhang's face was already pale here, and seeing the old lady being carried away, he couldn't hide the panic in his heart, his face was pale, and he trembled.
Seeing them like this, the emperor had a number. casually glanced at Shuntian Mansion Yin.
Shuntian Mansion Yin understood, so he told Fang Cai Lin Sansi and his wife about Bai Xiyun's life experience, and finally reprimanded: "Mrs. An Luhou, she is also from everyone, how can she confuse the family bloodline at will in order to do such a thing as competing for favor?"
"No, no, I don't!" Zhang listened to this nonsense, how could he admit it: "This kind of thing is simply nonsense! The concubine has never given birth to any eldest daughter at all, let alone exchange her own child, and ask the emperor to find out!"
Seeing that Zhang was so flustered, everyone present was very disdainful. How can you admit such a thing if you have done it? If you admit it, you will not be able to shake off the reputation of jealousy. Everyone looked at Bai Yongchun with pity, and there was some schadenfreude in the pity.
Even if Bai Yongchun is too out of tune on weekdays, and now he has lost his sacred heart and lost the hereditary replacement of his official position and title, and he has failed to do business, which is equivalent to the terminator of the Bai family, a super loser, but a man, his own flesh and blood were replaced by his wife because of the competition for favor, and it is his bitterness to have such a jealous wife, and he himself spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and even let the eldest son speak out before the eldest son, it seems that his disobedience was there when he was young.
Facing all kinds of eyes, Bai Yongchun was full of bitterness and had no way to vent, so he could only be silent.
He not only weighed in his heart whether it was more cost-effective for them to say what he really wanted to say, or whether it was cost-effective to deny it altogether.
Flatly deny it, I'm afraid no one will believe it. Compared with confusing the royal bloodline, it is more cost-effective to confuse the bloodline of your own family. Anyway, the mistakes are all Zhang's. It was the Zhang family who changed their son in order to compete for favor with the concubine......
Thinking of this, Bai Yongchun seemed to be unbearable, jumped three feet high, and slapped Zhang's face: "You jealous woman! What about my own daughter! Where did you get the child!"
Zhang was beaten and sat on the ground, covering his face in a daze.
And the voices of Bai Xidu, Bai Xixi and Bai Xilan immediately came from the crowd: "Mother!"
The three of them hurriedly came out to help Zhang.
As soon as the people from the yamen came to take the people away, they followed. I didn't expect that the bell was ringed because of their family's affairs, and I didn't expect that the second brother, who had been sick and weak, and was treated unfairly, was really not their parents' biological child!
The three people who heard the shocking secret were already stunned, and if it weren't for the Zhang family being beaten, they wouldn't have been able to come back to their senses until now.
Zhang was supported by his children and knelt upright, and then the three of them also knelt on Zhang's left and right. As for the facts of the case, he could not say anything to defend himself.
Zhang had already cried aggrievedly. Thinking of all the things back then, if it weren't for Bai Yongchun's absurd occupation of the daughter of the ten thousand families, how could she have replaced her own son with a sick and crooked little frozen cat? She can't recognize her biological son now, and she has been wronged all her life to deal with Bai Yongchun's aftermath. Now he has to be crowned with a jealous reputation, and he will continue to carry the black pot for Bai Yongchun. What kind of sin did she create, and how much she owed Bai Yongchun!
"I didn't, I definitely never gave birth to an eldest daughter, and I didn't change my son!"
Zhang's has already denied it, which is really annoying, and Zhou can't stand it anymore, and he is also in tears, choking up: "Mrs. An Luhou, you can't do this! Obviously, your wet nurse came to me when I was pregnant for 947 months, and gave me a sum of money to cure the illness of our family boss, and then gave birth to a baby boy and was taken away by her, we found out clearly, 94 was born in October when I was pregnant!"
"Who is Ninety-Fourth! You are talking nonsense!"
"Ninety-four is the name we gave to the child, if the child is raised by our side, he should be called Lin Jiusi, because he was born on the fourth day of the ninth month, but by your side, his name is Bai Xiyun. ”
Speaking of these, Zhou's eyes suddenly sprouted hatred, and he said: "It is indeed a kindness that you can raise Jiusi, but why do you treat them and their husband and wife harshly!
Zhou's appearance is clearly like a female beast protecting her cubs, although she sued Bai Xiyun for being unfilial, but she knew that her biological child was wronged, and when she saw the culprit, she still wanted to ask for an explanation, which only had motherhood, and did not consider the status.
Zhang's family has been overwhelmed by layers of black cauldrons, and Bai Yongchun did it to drive people away, but now she has to be questioned, where is there any heavenly reason!
"I didn't! We have raised him all these years, and he can only live to this day with good food, drink, and medicine, otherwise he will be long gone, and you don't know how to be grateful but come to blame me! You ......"
