Chapter 424: Evidence
Unlike the public loss Yinxue, that box is no stranger to the public loss. When he was a child, he secretly played with it when his father was not paying attention, but after that day, he was severely beaten by the family law and couldn't get out of bed for three days.
Since that day, he has known that the box contained the seal letter of the head of the public loser's family.
"Third uncle. Gong Yinxue stopped, stood on the steps, she was not too short, she was just a little taller than Gong Yinxue, looked at Gong Yin Xue as if she was condescending, and said with a light expression: "Uncle he, he has already gone." ”
Gong Yi looked at Gong Yin Xue stupidly, almost in disbelief: "Go...... I'll go in and see......" he raised his leg and walked towards the door.
Gong Yinxue blocked in front of him, sighed, and said, "Third uncle, don't go in and disturb first, my aunt is still inside, give her some time." ”
Gong Yiren took a deep look at the closed door, at this time, he finally believed the news of Gong Yiren's death, and cried out, but Gong Yinxue couldn't see a tear on his low cheeks, he just looked extremely painful and shouted, crying: "Big brother! Why did you go like this! You just went like this, let the third brother how can I live!"
Gong Yinxue lowered her head, passed by Gong Yinxue, and slowly walked outside the courtyard.
"Wait!" Gong Yu suddenly raised his head and called out to Gong Yinxue, who had already walked to the gate of the courtyard.
Gong Yinxue turned around and looked at Gong Yinxue, without a trace of waves on her face: "What's wrong, Third Uncle?"
"The box in your hand...... What is it?" asked the Male Examiner in a low voice.
"This is the seal of the head of the house. "To tell the truth, Yinxue originally thought that one day she would raise her eyebrows in front of the public loss and sweep away the haze scene, thinking that it must be flamboyant, crazy, and joyful, as if she had finally won a war, as if she was so proud, right?
It's just that now, Yinxue found that she didn't have such a mood at all, but felt that she was a little calm, and her heart was more like a big stone stuffed into her heart: "Uncle handed it over to me, naturally, I will take care of the public loser in the future." ”
"Impossible!" cried out the Public, "how could he do that?"
"yes. How could this be done......" Gong Yinxue reached out and touched the rough surface of the box over the years, she also thought that the uncle would not do this, but the reality is in front of her, for so many years, all her unwillingness and resentment have turned into smoke and dust to dissipate, and the rest, like a rock, is only a heavy sense of responsibility.
Gong Yiren used to carry these all the way, and now, it was her turn again.
"But it's true. Gong Yinxue's eyes finally became firm, "Third uncle, I'll go back to the room first, I'm a little tired, if you can, you still don't bother......"
There was a sound of the door opening, and Gong Yi had already broken in desperately, and then Zhao's angry reprimand came from inside.
Gong Yinxue silently held the box, raised her face, and walked back towards her own August Cicada Pavilion step by step......
"Yinxue, are you back?" Qin Ke heard the sound of the door opening, and then the middle-aged man sitting opposite him stood up nervously, shyly with a somewhat fat belly, and lowered his head like a child about to be trained.
"Wusuke?" Gong Yi Yinxue was slightly surprised, although the uncle had something to say before he died, saying that someone had arranged for someone to send the evidence over, but she didn't expect that the person who came would be the most important steward in the past.
"Miss. Usuke looked at it with a deep sigh of relief, his eyes courteous.
"Uncle asked you to come?" said Yin Xue put down the box in her hand and asked softly.
"Yes. Usuke glanced at the box on the table, guessed what was inside, and exclaimed with some excitement, "This is ...... The head of the family has already passed on the position of head of the family to the young lady?"
Qin Ke tilted his head, thinking to himself what kind of play was this?
Gong Yinxue nodded, and said with some sadness in her expression: "Uncle, he ...... went. ”
"Go?" Wu Zhu suddenly covered his mouth, almost unable to believe his ears, but he knew that it was impossible for Gong Yinxue to joke about such a thing, and soon he was sad again, and sighed long, "Uncle is such a good person, but he ends up like this, and the sky is really eyeless." ”
Qin Ke looked at Gong Yinxue blankly: "When is it?"
"Just now, in a little while, it's time for the news to spread all over the house......" Gong Yu Yinxue looked at Wu Suke, "He gave me this seal before he died, and said that someone would give me the evidence of Gong Yu's actions, is that you?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Usuke took a deep breath, he also thought twice about making this decision, but since he came, he would not regret it, he slowly took out a few silk books from his arms, here is also a few confessions, but it is very different from what Gong Yuren took out in the ancestral hall that day.
"These evidences are enough to prove the role played by the third master in the assassination, and I have handled the matter of the shortage of the granary, how much did the third master embezzle from it, and how many officials he divided, I have numbers in my head, one or two are not bad. Usuke pointed to his head, "As long as Miss is in need, I can stand up and explain these things in front of everyone." ”
"Good. Uncle believes in you, then I will believe in you too. Gongyu Yinxue nodded, looked at Usuke's sincere eyes, and couldn't help but ask more, "But why? You are obviously the closest steward to the third uncle, why do you want to stand up and expose him now?"
"Why?" Usuke repeated Yinxue's question, smirking a little self-deprecatingly, "This has to start from earlier......"
The three of them sat down, and both Yinxue and Qin Ke listened carefully to Wusuke's explanation.
Usuke also went from the greasy things in the granary that he handled, bit by bit, to the fact that he was assassinated and later fled to the public palace.
"The fourth master is very good to me, I invited a doctor to treat my injuries, what I need, he tries his best to meet it, never say anything, my identity is sensitive, and I am afraid that I will be targeted at this moment as soon as I leave the fourth master's house, so I have never dared to appear in front of people. ”
Gong Yinxue gently closed her eyes and opened them again: "Indeed, I haven't seen you these days, I thought that the third uncle sent you to do something." ”
"Errand?" Wusuke snorted, "I'm afraid he wants me to go to the Hades Palace to do something for him, right?" I thought that when the fourth master finished collecting evidence, he would attack him and knock him to the ground, so that I wouldn't have to hide anymore. Although I also participated in his pickled affairs, after all, I was only acting on orders, and it was better to be punished by the uncle than to die at his hands. It's just that he didn't wait for the fourth master to make trouble, but he turned out to be the wicked person who sued first and framed the fourth master fiercely, and now the fourth master is locked up in the yard, depressed, I really can't look past it, so I secretly escaped and saw the uncle. ”
"After listening to what I said, the uncle did not rush to let me come out to testify, but asked me to be calm and impatient, saying that he would use me in the future, and then kept me under house arrest until today, and only released me today. Usuke's voice became more and more firm, "I've been waiting for these days, and every day I think I'm going to die, but since I'm not dead, I should do something that needs to be done." The fourth master treats me well, and I should do something for him. ”
"You're righteous. Qin Ke said with emotion.
"I was born in poverty since I was a child, and I relied on being an apprentice to others, so I entered the public loser, and I did a stewardship, and I only recognized one thing in my life, that is, the grace of dripping water, and the spring reciprocates, originally I also regarded the third master as a benefactor, no matter what I helped him do, I was willing, but I never thought that he would want my life...... "Usuke said heavily: "Miss, now I can see through...... As long as you say a word, I, Usuke, will definitely identify him in front of all the clan elders, and I will never refuse. ”
"Good. Gong Yi Yinxue thought back to Gong Yinxue's arrangement, "Since this is the case, then I will open the ancestral hall again, turn this matter over again, and let the person who should be punished be punished, Fourth Uncle...... We can't continue to suffer this injustice. ”
The black jade seal letter in the hand of Gong Yi Yinxue and the testimony of the Zhao family are enough to prove Gong Yinxue's final decision, although many people in the family still have doubts and even oppose it in their hearts, but after all, rules are rules, and they will have to obey and submit for a while.
Logically took over the position of Gong Yiren, and Gong Yinxue calmly arranged the future of Gong Yinren.
First of all, according to Gong Yiren's own wishes, his body was cremated, and the ashes were put into a delicate celadon columbarium and handed over to the Zhao family for storage.
On the other hand, the public loser Yinxue also abides by the rules of the public loser and sends the public loser out of the ancestral grave outside the city for burial. It's just that since Gong Yiren's body has been cremated, what is in the coffin is just his clothes, and the clan elders are reasonable this time and do not object too much.
On the day of the funeral of the public loser, not only the people of Jinzhou, but also those displaced people who survived, all rushed to the street to cry and mourn, and the momentum was so great that it shook the whole city. At the same time as appeasing the people, Yinxue also arranged for people to build a stele in the city, and it is foreseeable that the name of Gongyi Ren will inevitably be passed down from generation to generation in Jinzhou.
"I only know now that your uncle has done so many good things......" In the ancestral hall, Qin Ke and Gong Yinxue were dressed in linen and filial piety, and their strong hands slowly helped Gong Yin Xue, and he said with some sighs.
Gong Yinxue said softly: "My uncle has always been a very good person, compared to him, I am too small." ”
Qin Ke shook his head and said, "I think that in the future, you may become a person like him." ”
Gong Yinxue looked at him: "You want me to be like him?"
"Uh......" Qin Ke didn't know how to answer, scratched his head and said, "This still depends on your own wishes?"
Would you like to stay and help me...... Gong Yinxue's eyes were complicated, and he finally didn't open his mouth to say this.
"The head of the house, everyone is together. At this time, a clan elder approached the ear of Gong Yinxue.
Gong Yinxue nodded, glanced at Gong Yinren's tablet, then turned his head and said, "Let's start." ”
