Qiao Zhaoyi took out a bag of silver: "Do you have any friends outside the house?" This bag of silver is reserved for you to go out and play, and you don't need to do anything, just say a few words while playing with the girl. ”

The two little guys looked at each other, "...... Be. ”

Qiao Zhaoyi dictated a paragraph, and the two of them were suddenly shocked!

Finally, he pinched the silver bag and gritted his teeth, "Miss, don't worry, we will definitely do this job beautifully for you." ”

……

The lights in the main courtyard had not been extinguished, Qiao Lang saw the tiredness on Lin's face, and knew that she was too frightened in the afternoon, and Lan'er also grew up with her, and she couldn't help it.

"Sleep, I'm not dead yet, the sky is falling and your officials are still on top." Qiao Lang smiled comfortingly and patted Lin's hand.

Lin glanced at him with disgust, and his face was helpless: "What bastard are you talking about?" ”

As he spoke, the words changed sharply, and his expression straightened: "Yuwan Pavilion that-"

Qiao Lang was relieved: "Don't worry, I'll take a look." ”

Before leaving, seeing Lin falling asleep, he asked people to put out all the lights and candles in the room, so there was no need to leave them for him.

A lady in the room carried a lantern and followed Qiao Lang out, the two did not go to the verandah, but walked through the small garden, walked a sloping forest path, there was no one around the road, Qiao Lang asked the Yuwan Pavilion about what happened during the day.

Mama replied in detail.

From Qiao Zhaolan crying home, to the chaos in Yuwan Pavilion, Aunt Wang fainted, and even the Li family came to save Qiao Zhaolan who hanged herself, she was detailed everywhere.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Lang didn't pick the reason for Qiao Zhaolan's matter and asked in detail, but asked an inconspicuous place: "You said that the maids and women in Lan'er's house are all injured?" ”

"Yes, although the little one entered the house late, I also saw that the tables and chairs in the third girl's room were moved, and there were a lot of things scattered around, and several mothers-in-law and maids were covered with blood, saying that the three girls were originally looking for death with scissors and hairpins, and they were accidentally injured when they stopped each other."

Qiao Lang pondered for a long time, and didn't say anything, but asked Mama to wait and send some medicine to Yuwan Pavilion.

The lights in the Yuwan Pavilion were bright, only the house where Qiao Zhaolan lived had most of the lights off, and one was left on the table alone for Aunt Wang to guard.

Qiao Lang didn't let people report, Aunt Wang sat in front of the bed, heard the sound behind her, and thought it was the waiting grandmother who came to deliver the soup, just wanted to say put it down, but noticed that the footsteps were wrong, and when she turned around, it was really Qiao Lang.

Aunt Wang couldn't hold back her tears, and said softly: "Master......"

Qiao Lang took Aunt Wang's hand and sat down in the outhouse.

In Qiao Lang's place, Aunt Wang's hanging heart finally came to an end, and the suppressed cry couldn't help but squeeze out of her throat slowly, and she didn't dare to make it loud, for fear that people outside would hear it, and she was afraid that Qiao Zhaolan, who finally fell asleep.

Qiao Lang waited for her to cry for a long time before she comforted her.

Aunt Wang's appearance is not beautiful, but she is very gentle and fair, and she has a good temperament, and she rarely does things at home that are sour and jealous, and the Lin family can tolerate her.

Aunt Wang cried and cried, and it took a long time to hold back, and the daylight really scared her to death.

When the tears were withdrawn, he asked Qiao Lang with red eyes: "Brother Ming—"

This is her other son, named Ming Ye, the concubine of the house, but raised by the Lin family.

Qiao Lang: "When I heard about Lan'er after school in the evening, I wanted to come and see it, but I was persuaded by my mother-in-law, saying that Mr. still has schoolwork, and Lan'er is also tired, so why don't you wait until tomorrow to rest and come and see." ”

Aunt Wang couldn't tell whether she was happy or lost in her heart, her emotions were complicated, and she finally tightened her veil and sighed: "Lan'er has me, let Brother Ming don't worry, a good student studying is the most important thing, and he must be like his brother, take the Jinshi exam to add glory to the family." ”

Although she is a good concubine, she was in the middle of the road when she was young, and it is already a blessing to be able to go to Qiao's house and meet a generous housewife, but she can't help it, and wants to make herself and her children better.

Just like Qiao Zhaolan and Li Shilang's family, the opposite door is high, and it is under the knees of the mother-in-law, although Lang has a concubine, but at that time, Qiao's mansion declined, if it were not for the nomination of the Lin family's sister-in-law emperor, Lan'er has a capable brother who can be relied on, I am afraid that the two children will have friendship again, and the other side will not want to.

And half a month ago, the township test list was released, and the brother Ming she gave birth to was selected and became a lifter, and the Li Mansion was more eager than before, which made her even more sad.

Brother Ming is only eighteen this year, if he can take the high school exam next year, he will be on the top three lists like his brother, and the Qiao family will really soar! She and Lan'er also have a relationship.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can't pass the test, but with the identity of a person, Qiao Lang operates one or two in the old room of his protégé, and being a county magistrate is also a way out.

Qiao Lang knew what Aunt Wang was thinking, and when he thought of Brother Ming'er's diligent study, he didn't say anything, but he was also very satisfied: "Brother Ming is a good boy, and he has the appearance of Brother Qian'er back then." ”

Brother Qian'er is the sister-in-law of the Lin family, Qiao Qianye, who was in the second class of high school five years ago and entered Hanlin, and now he has been released from Beijing, and he will return to Beijing after a few years with political achievements, and the road will be smooth.

Qiao Lang persuaded a few more words before saying, "You go back to the room to rest first, I am here for the big things." ”

Aunt Wang was reluctant, God knows that when she woke up, she was terrified when she knew that Qiao Zhaolan was almost hanged, if Lan'er was gone, she couldn't wait to go with her.

Qiao Lang said again: "Lan'er and I have a few separate words to say, you can leave the grandmother around you and rest." ”

Qiao Lang said this, Aunt Wang couldn't stay any longer, got up and went back to the room.

The room was silent again, and Qiao Lang came to the table, where there was a few mouthfuls of food, a bowl of stewed chicken soup with roots in the middle, and a stewed porridge of meat on the side.

Qiao Lang rolled up his sleeves and stirred in it a few times, quickly put the spoon back, and then asked the grandmothers who remained in the house to untie the wounds.

The grandmothers snorted, "Master, the wound is filthy, I'm afraid I will hurt your eyes......"

Qiao Lang looked at them for a long time, until all the grandmothers bowed their heads, then waved his hand and said casually: "Okay, let's all go out." ”

He knew what was going on.

When there was no one in the house, Qiao Lang snorted, lifted the curtain and approached the inner room, and his tone sank: "Qiao Zhaolan, you are really getting bolder, I didn't punish you when you were a child, you dare to use chicken blood as human blood when you grow up, right?" ”

Every child in the family has grown up under his watch, where he doesn't know what his true temperament is like, everything is his own first, and if he doesn't make a decision, he will be the first to go, how can he seek death and life for a word.

Qiao Zhaolan: "......"

She slowly opened her eyes, and before she could speak, she heard Qiao Lang scold: "Nonsense! If you really hang yourself with a white silk, will your little lady live? ”

Qiao Lang seemed to be waiting for her to open her eyes, and when he saw this, he said angrily: "Your father is not dead, you can be used for everything?" ”

Qiao Zhaolan wanted Qiao Lang to be quiet, but before she could speak, she was blocked back by the other party.

"That is, your mother-in-law was shocked by the day, otherwise this trick still wants to hide it from her? Wait for the ancestral hall! Qiao Lang glared at her, "You've learned to hang yourself!" You are a famous flower spider plant! ”

Qiao Zhaolan looked sad: "......"

Dad, why is your mouth still as cheap as ever.

……

At the other end of Wenyuanbo's mansion, since the Zhang family came to confront each other with the dowry list, the mansion has been full of chickens and dogs.

The other party not only came to the door, but also went directly to the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, invited a royal historian to come, and said that Wen Yuanbo's family despised the law, embezzled the dowry, and treated the children left by his deceased wife harshly.

Wen Yuanbo's wife, Yan Zhou, thought that Qiao Zhaoyi entered the palace in the afternoon, and the matter had been done, and when she saw the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, she vaguely mentioned something, thinking that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not the base camp of her future in-laws, and she should have more or less face, but she didn't expect the other party to hear it, but asked them to find the eldest daughter-in-law's dowry maid and count the dowry list one by one.

This is something that can be finely matched!

Yan Zhou's heart was unwilling, but he couldn't say a word or two to the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he had to send someone to find the eldest daughter-in-law Zhang's former personal maidservant, and then let people carry out the dowry.

She originally wanted to sell all the people around her after the death of her eldest daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect the Zhang family to keep a hand, and all the identity deeds of these people were left in the Zhang family, and she didn't let her daughter bring them over at all!

Yan Zhou's heart was on fire, and he sat on the main seat and watched a group of people go in and out.

There are many kinds of dowries, and they are absolutely impossible to sort out in one night, Yan Zhou's heart was slightly relieved when he thought of this.

Thinking about the in-laws Qiao Lang who is about to have, he doesn't have too much of a future Yushi in his eyes, just thinking that the news hasn't been leaked yet, maybe they don't know, see that the master is about to return home, and he is still in the mood to re-trim his makeup.

Wen Yuanbo's house is not far from the Taifu Temple, Youzheng soon returned home in a sedan chair, and saw the noisy Zhang family only hindered the etiquette and greetings, and then no one appeared.

Xin Dao, presumably after the afternoon, even if their marriage with the Qiao family has passed the Ming Road, the Zhang family is just a small Zhizhou, what kind of storm can be set off in Beijing, there is the pressure of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and this matter will not reach the front of the palace at all.

However, for the sake of safety, he still asked people to go to the East Palace to deliver a message to the prince, and let the prince take care of him in the court.

came and went for half an hour, but the servant replied: "Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace today, saying that he would not return to the house at night and would stay in the palace." ”

Wen Yuanbo somehow felt his heart skip a beat, but he pressed back after a while.

The prince only gave the house another year before last, and the mother and the emperor sometimes thought about it, so they asked him to enter the palace to stay for one night, which is a common thing.

Wen Yuanbo waved his subordinates back: "Got it, go down." ”

He originally thought that the feeling of anxiety would slowly subside with time, but he didn't expect that the deeper the night, the more sleepless he was, and he always felt that his heart was hanging in the air, as if something big had happened.

He finally couldn't sleep anymore, got up from the bed, put on his coat and walked a few steps in the Fuzhong Garden, but he didn't expect to directly bump into his second son Yan Mingxuan, who was not angry.

Wen Yuanbo's family didn't know about Taimiao Street, but it didn't prevent Wen Yuanbo from getting angry when he saw Yan Mingxuan.

"I'm drunk all day long, how much silver is enough for you!!"

"Zhang's dowry is magnanimous, and isn't there still the Qiao family after she spends it? If you marry into our family, count them as high! ”

Wen Yuanbo was so angry that his position hurt, and he stared at Yan Mingxuan angrily: "Do you really think that the Qiao family is as easy to talk as the Zhang family?" Before the girl of the Qiao family entered the door, you kept your mouth shut, otherwise don't blame me for hearing it ruthlessly? ”

Yan Mingxuan's expenses all depend on his family, how dare he go against Wen Yuanbo, hearing that the other party was really annoyed, he hurriedly lowered his mistake and made a small mistake, and then smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away.

When Wen Yuanbo saw him like this, he couldn't stop having a headache.

If it weren't for the sons and nephews, where would they think of relying on the relationship between in-laws and climbing up to a few capable uncles.

He thought about it all night until the fifth watch.

At the beginning of the court meeting, as soon as everything was discussed, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach the Shaoqing Yan Zhishou of the Taifu Temple who has no way to teach his son, and the son of Zongzi is murderous, and his daughter-in-law Zhang's dowry." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached the young secretary of the Taifu Temple, Yan Zhishou, who had no way to teach his son, and humiliated the daughters of the court officials on the street."

“…… forced her to be a concubine. ”

“…… Zongzi committed murder and forced the daughter of the court official to death. ”

"Impeachment of the Taifu Temple Shaoqing Yan Zhishou ......"

Suddenly, the court was boiling.

Yan Zhishou, who was dressed in a scarlet robe, stood among the courtiers, like being struck by lightning, only to feel that the sky was dizzy!

……

Wenyuan Bo Mansion.

After Yan Zhou's got up in the morning, he was laying out a score and teaching a few daughters-in-law of the concubine's family, and he heard the bride and mother return home with a white face, "Oh no, madam, something happened!" ”

"What's the matter with a panic, you don't have the grace to do it?" Yan Zhou glanced at him obliquely, and then slowly brushed off the tea foam with the tea cup.

Mama: "Somehow, now there are rumors on the streets and alleys that our family gambles excessively, mutilates our daughter-in-law, embezzles dowry, and ...... He also said......"

"What else are you talking about?!" Yan Zhou was anxious and angry.

"I also said that our second brother was overly talkative and said a lot of bastard things, and the news reached Qiao's family, and they were forced to hang themselves on the spot!"

"What ?!!" Yan Zhou was shocked, "Aren't you bluffing me?" ”

"No, when the girl of the Qiao family hanged herself yesterday, it happened that other people were also there, so I saw them all!"

The next moment, there was an urgent report from outside the door, and another grandmother came in crying: "Madam, something is wrong, many civil servants have collectively impeached our master and godson for having no way to do it, and arsoning with the son, and as soon as the person went down to the court, he was taken away by the investigation institute!" ”

Bang bang -

The tea lid fell off from his hand, and after a few grunts on the ground, it fell to the ground and fell apart.
