The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 25 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
Jia Zhen burst out laughing when she saw it, knowing that the Sun family must have suffered because of that book.A little gloating, the coachman was still driving forward, and he could only see clearly when he got close.
Jia Amnesty had expected that Jia Zhen would do some boring things, but fortunately he had prepared before going out, so he took out a book from his sleeve pocket to read.
As the carriage moved forward slowly, Jia Zhen leaned forward and looked out vigorously. At this moment, he really wanted to stick his head out in front of the crowd.
It turned out that the person carrying the knife in front was not an officer or soldier, but a government official from Gyeonggi Prefecture. Because there were too many people onlookers, the government officials lined up in two rows on the left and right, and opened a road in the middle, extending to the main entrance of the Sun Mansion.The door of the mansion was wide open, and there were faint cries and shouts from inside, but the specific words could not be heard clearly.
Jia Zhen turned to look at the onlookers, good guy, almost everyone is grabbing something, and many of them are carrying baskets.It's not uncommon to get any good things, such as stones, rotten vegetable leaves, donkey dung and eggs, and some people don't know where to get a basket of dead rats.Not to mention what it would feel like to be hit by these things, just looking at it, Jia Zhen was already so sick that she wanted to vomit.
Jia Zhen shook her hands, hurriedly put down the curtain, covered her mouth and retched twice.
Jia Amnesty sneered, "You deserve to be bored."
"These common people really have a trick, how can they figure out how to get those dirty things." Jia Zhen took out the teapot from the food box next to the seat, and poured a bowl of herbal tea to drink, so as to suppress his nausea.
Jia Amnesty smiled and continued to read.
While drinking tea, Jia Zhen suddenly brought up the secret of the neighbor's family, "You said that the author of this book is so powerful, how could he deduce the fact that the king of Jin was defrauding the king of Jin from the trivial matter of the fact that there are no beggars from Jin in the capital?" Money is such an important matter. I hate us stupid people who have little knowledge. When we received the book the first day, we ran to the tea shop, and the two or three gathered together and scolded the book. Think about it, we people should be ashamed! We didn’t know that he talked so much throughout the article, that he was talking about problems in Jin. When he rebelled against the king of Jin, we took the book and looked at it carefully, and then we knew who the author was. The only person in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty who foresaw this!"
"There is a specialization in art, he may just be good at it." Jia She said.
Jia Zhen praised again and again, but Jin Jia Amnesty has always been so flat, a bit unwilling.He rolled his eyes, opened the curtain, and asked Jia She to look east.
"Just the girl in blue and white clothes with a basket in front, do you see the dusty things in her basket?"
"I'm not curious." Jia Amnesty didn't look away, and calmly turned the book to the next page.
"Take a look, take a look." Jia Zhen couldn't help persuading him, he really wanted to find a companion to nauseate with him.
Jia She glanced at the place he was pointing at, and glanced at Jia Zhen impatiently, "That's it?"
Jia Zhen couldn't believe that Jia She was so calm, "That's not exciting enough."
"It's just a dead mouse."
Jia Zhen was silent in embarrassment.
"People are coming out!"
There were people shouting outside the car.
Jia Zhen hurriedly went to look, and saw an official walking out of the gate of Sun's residence, followed by five or six yamen servants.After him, there was an old man in brocade casual clothes to see him off, and Jia Zhen recognized him at a glance as Sun Yingwu, the imperial historian.Standing beside him were two young men whose brows resembled him somewhat, they should be Sun Yingwu's sons.
"One of them must be Sun Xinyang, I'm just..." Jia Zhen turned around and rummaged in the car, busy looking for something.
Jia She looked at him: "What are you doing?"
"I also wanted to find something to beat him. You don't know how angry I was when I saw what happened to him." Jia Zhen didn't find anything useful, so she picked up the teapot she drank before, and made a gesture to get out of the car.
Jia She glanced out through the window screen, "Don't waste your efforts, Sun Xinyang is not here, those two are his elder brothers."
Jia Zhen's movements stopped abruptly, but at this moment there was a commotion outside.I don't know that that person made the move first, picked up the donkey dung in his hand and threw it at the door of the house, everyone booed and threw it at the door together.There are always people who throw it incorrectly, and the yamen who do not retreat in time suffer.
The people of the Sun Mansion learned to be smart, and immediately helped Sun Yingwu back, and then closed the gate tightly. In the end, only a small amount of dirty things were successfully thrown into the gate of the Sun Mansion.
"Tell me about you, what are you doing all day long, what are you throwing here! Do you know that your actions are disrespectful to the officials of the imperial court? It's all over now. It's time to cook, and it's time to plant the land Gyeonggi Prefecture has already started investigating Sun Xinyang's matter, and will give justice to the deceased." Liu Zhizhong shouted to the people.
"If it hadn't been reported by "Secrets of My Neighbors", how would you know that the man surnamed Sun is guilty? The case has been solved for more than ten days, and he hasn't been arrested, so what's the point of talking about it?" Someone among the people shouted angrily.
When Jia Amnesty heard this, he frowned slightly. He immediately dropped the book in his hand and got out of the car.Seeing this, Jia Zhen got out of the car in a hurry.
Liu Zhizhong was so angry that he blushed and smacked his lips, not knowing how to refute.
But the common people were strengthened by these words, and they started to gather forward, surrounding Liu Zhizhong and all the yamen servants.They expressed their dissatisfaction with the government one after another, and some even raised their wrists, intending to throw out the things in their hands.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the yamen servants hurriedly scolded them and raised the sabers on their waists.
The two sides confront each other, and the situation is at stake.
"What the little brother said just now was not right." The male voice was flat.
Everyone was stunned and looked around for someone to talk to.
"No matter how good the law is, no matter how powerful the government is, it is impossible to control all the injustices in this world. We are all ordinary people. If a person who breaks the law intends to cover up his crime, who can see through it at a glance? The evil deeds of the wicked have indeed been exposed. , but the government needs empirical evidence to handle the case, so it is also to avoid another unjust case. Don't forget, the previous unjust case of the cowherd in Gyeonggi Province.
Now that the government is already doing their due diligence to investigate this case, if you really want the deceased to be vindicated, you should not block the way of the officials at this moment, but open a way so that they can investigate faster and more conveniently, as soon as possible Close the case. "
Everyone turned their heads to look at the talking master. He was in his early thirties, with beautiful features, and his skin was particularly good. It was as delicate as a peeled egg, making his whole face look exquisite.This person has a calm demeanor, and his face is a little cold. Although he is looking at everyone seriously at the moment, his eyes are very peaceful, and he should be a reasonable person.
The common people also felt that what Jia Amnesty said was reasonable, so they put down their hands one after another and dispersed in all directions.
Liu Zhizhong breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still anger on his face.He walked up to Jia Amnesty and bowed his hands in thanks.
"Thank you Master She for your relief. I'm not afraid of some unreasonable thugs, but those things in their hands will make me sick for a few days if they touch them."
"I think they are very smart, they know how to throw bamboo sticks." Jia She said with a smile.
Liu Zhizhong shook his head helplessly, lamenting that these ordinary people are so idle.
Just now the reaction of those common people made Jia She's heart sink, he immediately bowed his hand to Liu Zhizhong and was about to leave.
Liu Zhizhong hurriedly asked Jia Amnesty, "Are you going?"
"This is my nephew, we are planning to go to Zhuangyuan Building for a vegetarian meal." Jia She replied.
Liu Zhizhong agreed with a smile, and took the people away first.Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen also returned to the carriage and continued on their way.But Jia Amnesty is not as relaxed as before, and he is not in the mood to read a book, and keeps thinking about something with a sullen face.
Seeing that he seemed to have something on his mind, Jia Zhen asked, and seeing that Jia Amnesty didn't think she existed at all, she wisely shut up and continued drinking herbal tea.
When they arrived at Zhuangyuan Building, they were about to ask for a private room when they heard someone from upstairs asking, "But Marquis Jia En is here?"
Jia Zhen glanced at Jia Amnesty, saw that he had no intention of answering, so she answered for him.Then a young man in brocade came down and bowed to invite Jia Zhen and Jia She to go upstairs.It was only then that Jia Zhen realized that this well-dressed person was just a servant.
Jia Zhen turned to ask Jia Amnesty, "Do you know who it is?"
"I know." Jia Amnesty knew very well that among the people he knew, Song Xi must be the one who could show such a grandeur.What's more, only Liu Zhizhong asked about his whereabouts before, and Song Xi was his superior.
Arriving at No. [-] private room, Jia She really saw Song Xi's figure.
Song Xi sat alone on the main seat, and beside him stood a man in his fifties, who was bowing reverently, with a smile on his face, and introduced the latest new dishes in Zhuangyuan Building to Song Xi with a modest attitude. .
"That's the shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building. Usually when we come, he doesn't say a word." Jia Zhen muttered sadly, turned her gaze to Song Xi, and then immediately changed her attitude, feeling very pleasantly surprised, "Master Song is indeed a legend. Master Song in the movie is imposing and extraordinary in appearance, we are all born, but he looks like he was born of a fairy."
"How can a god have emotions and desires, he is also an ordinary person." After Jia She said, he took the lead to enter the door.Jia Zhen muttered something in her mouth, followed her into the door, and was the first to run to greet Song Xi.
"My nephew, Jia Zhen." Jia She introduced.
Song Xi looked Jia Zhen up and down, and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down.Jia Zhen was so happy that she quickly nodded and bowed to express her thanks, then sat down, and then urged Jia Amnesty to sit down quickly.
After the three sat down, no one spoke, only Jia Zhen let out a slight silly laugh.
The food and drink are served.
Jia Zhen took the newly filled wine and wanted to toast the two of them, but they both buried their heads in the meal with indifferent expressions, ignoring each other, and of course ignoring him.Jia Zhen realized that she couldn't disturb her loudly, so she put down the wine in embarrassment, and silently picked up vegetables to eat.
During the entire banquet, no one spoke.
It was the first time that Jia Zhen was so bored after drinking and eating, she almost suffocated herself to death.After all the chopsticks were put away, I heard someone knock on the door immediately.Then I saw the shopkeeper personally bring people to bring water and tea, and serve the three guests to wash their hands and mouth.
Jia Zhen is now very sure that this is exactly what eating at home looks like.
After everything was over, Jia Zhen really couldn't bear it any longer, so she hurriedly found an excuse to say goodbye to Jia She and Song Xi.He didn't want to stay in this dull place, he'd better leave early and get out of bed early, and it would be too late to find some other friends to have a good time later.
Song Xi drank his tea, looked at the door, and saw that even a servant had closed the door.
"What's the matter?" Jia She asked.
Jia Amnesty had already guessed that Song Xi had something to look for him.So during the banquet just now, Song Xi didn't speak, so he also kept silent.In this way, Jia Zhen can be forced to leave without any trouble, otherwise, if someone else asks Jia Zhen to leave, this fellow will definitely ask the bottom line curiously afterwards.
Song Xi: "There is one thing that I have been putting off telling you. One is that I have been really busy recently with the case of King Jin's treason, and the other is also hesitating whether I should speak up. The sage urged me again yesterday, so I thought I should tell you. You, decide for yourself."
"Has your majesty watched "Secret Stories Next Door"?" Jia She asked.
Hearing this, Song Xi looked at Jia Amnesty in surprise.
"Oh, it looks like I saw it, and I still want to see me." Jia Amnesty had already read the message from Song Xi's expression, and asked himself an answer.
Song Xi laughed, and looked at Jia She with strange eyes, "That's good, I don't need to talk, you just guess."
Jia Amnesty pondered for a moment, then asked Song Xi: "Then do you think I should see you?"
"This is your own business, or you should decide for yourself." Song Xi sighed, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Jia She himself.
Jia She picked it up and drank it down in one gulp.
"How about it?"
"Good tea." Jia She said.
Song Xi: "I'll ask you to decide."
Jia She was silent for a while, then suddenly said simply: "See you!"
"Okay." Song Xi raised the corners of his lips slightly happily, poured another cup of tea for Jia She with a smile, and continued, "Your books are easy to lack, and bright ones are easy to taint. Your books are already quite famous in Beijing. If it goes on like this for a long time, it will eventually lose its reputation, but it’s really hard to live up to it.”
Jia She frowned and looked at Song Xi, sighed in embarrassment, and drank a cup of tea.Song Xi poured him another cup, and Jia She took it up and drank it again.
"So thirsty?" Song Xi asked in surprise.
Jia She sighed in embarrassment, "Have you read my book?"
"I've seen it." Song Xi replied puzzled.
"How's your literary talent?" Jia She continued to ask.
"generally."
"That's it," Jia Amnesty patted the table down, staring at Song Xi with a frown, "What did you say just now? Can't it be simpler? Can't it be easier for people to understand?"
"Okay." Song Xi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "I just want to tell you that a big tree will attract people's envy; if it has a big reputation, it will become more and more evil, and it is not under your control. In the future, when the name is not worthy of its name, jealous If the mobs attack it, it will be your time of death."
"I knew it earlier." Jia She gave Song Xi a disgusted look, thinking that he did it on purpose just now, "Don't act too talented, ordinary people like me may not understand you Once you talk, you can't help being jealous. It just fits your "big tree attracts wind and makes people jealous"!"
"Okay, I'll remember." Song Xi said.
"As for the book, you're right. I discovered the problem today, and it's just a sign, not a big deal. But if things go on like this, the reputation is too strong, and it will definitely cause a lot of trouble." Jia She sighed road.
Song Xi stared at Jia She meaningfully, and said with a smile, "You just need to understand."
This time it was Jia She who went to fetch the teapot and poured a cup for Song Xi.In fact, Song Xi didn't drink that cup of tea, but Jia She got another empty cup and poured it for him.
"The sage summoned me, let me prepare for it in a few days." After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, seeing Song Xi nodding in agreement, he cupped his hands to thank him, and said goodbye to him.
Song Xi sat alone in the same place for a long time, with a cold face and a very quiet silence all the time, suddenly he laughed, he raised his hand and picked up the cup of tea that Jia She had poured for him, first sniffed it, and then drank it slowly , and then wanted to get up and leave.
At this time the door was opened, Song Xi looked up, Jia Amnesty did not leave, but stood at the door.
Jia Amnesty asked him directly, "Are you still waiting to see others? If you don't wait, it would be good to ask your subordinates to take me back home. That brat left by himself in the car without leaving me anything. Being dragged out by him, I have no money or followers at the moment.”
"Exactly,"
Jia Amnesty thought that Song Xi would send him back to Rong Mansion immediately, so he nodded his head directly, but he didn't expect the second half of his sentence to be wrong.
"I'm about to intervene in Sun Xinyang's case, and you'll go away with me."
"Investigate the case?" Jia She snorted coldly, "It's clear, what do you want me to do?"
"It seems that you don't understand the current situation. The government wants people to prove it. The people who provided testimony in your book are all anonymous. Others don't know it. It will be very troublesome to investigate. In addition, Sun Yingwu is obstructing it. Naturally, it will be very troublesome. Time. Now the two maids around the Wu family who were released from the Sun residence have been found, but it can only be confirmed from the side that the maids of the Wu family have indeed been replaced, but it does not mean that Sun Xinyang is suspected of forcing his wife to death. As for Wu's direct sister, because she was young at the time, and because she didn't like Aunt Wu at all, she had a quarrel with her, so it can only be used as evidence, and it cannot prove Sun Xinyang's crime of murdering his wife."
"I almost forgot, this matter is really difficult." Jia She sighed.
It has been more than a year since Mrs. Wu died, and the evidence can only be obtained from the servants who served him back then.The most important of these is the old man who is working in the Sun's residence. She witnessed Sun Xinyang's forced death of Mrs. Wu.But if she stood up to testify at this moment, one would add guilt to herself and she would be unwilling, and the other would be what would happen if she betrayed her master. Everyone should know in their hearts.Her contract of prostitution is still in the Sun's family, and the child she gave birth to is also a slave in the Sun's family.It was Sun Xinyang who was convicted and imprisoned because of her testimony, and his father Sun Yingwu was still there, so she dared not jump out to tell the truth no matter what.
"At that time, after Mrs. Wu gave birth, there were seven people transferred by Sun Xinyang to serve and monitor her, four women and three maids. I had already ordered people to bring these seven people into Gyeonggi Prefecture for strict protection, but so far they have not There is one person who is willing to admit that Sun Xinyang murdered his wife. There is no way to punish these seven people, and they will give others a handle. After all, Sun Yingwu is a censor and is good at impeachment.
Now the case is stuck on these seven people. Today Liu Zhizhong wanted to go to the Sun Mansion to redeem the contracts of sale of the seven people, but the old lady of the Sun family cried and said that they had to use each of them, and refused to let them go. Finally, she fainted .Sun Yingwu was generous, and he was willing to take the initiative to hand over the deed of selling himself, and those who make it clear will clear themselves.The family sang in turns with red faces and white faces. Such a fuss seemed to be unreasonable in Gyeonggi Prefecture. "Song Xi explained the process.
"These seven people are all sons of the Sun family. Even if they obtained the deeds of prostitution, their brothers, sisters, parents and children are still working in the Sun family. How dare they confess? It's useless to do so." Jia She shook his head.
"rational."
Song Xi frowned slightly, because he had been busy with Jin Wang's rebellion before, he took this case lightly.He just confessed a few words casually, and handed over the full power of the case to Chengliu Zhizhong of Gyeonggi Prefecture.Now, the major event of King Jin's rebellion has been settled easily, but Sun Xinyang's small case has not been able to obtain strong evidence for a long time, and it has been delayed until now.
"If this continues, Sun Xinyang will be the second Xing Zhong, but his fate will definitely be better than Xing Zhong's. He has a father who is a censor, and he is the most eloquent. If there is no evidence, he will definitely be dismissed. After washing it cleanly, there is no guarantee that he will take another bite of "Secret Stories Next Door" in the end and ban this book." Jia She analyzed with a frown.
Song Xi looked at him sideways, "You are very good at seeing people. You don't need to be 'guaranteed', it is very accurate. Sun Yingwu has already written a letter asking the saint to ban your book. Fortunately, it was because of the King Jin's incident at that time. It’s been diverted. If Sun Xinyang’s matter is fooled by him this time, Sun Yingwu will definitely not let it go, and your book will still be lost.”
Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Sun Yingwu's reaction was quite fast, which also showed that he was extremely bold.He wrote about his son's shortcomings in the book, and he still dared to impeach him for banning.Generally, this kind of person has a very strong psychological quality, even if they make a mistake, as long as others can't produce evidence, they will always be confident and confident, and will never admit defeat to anything.To fight against such a person, there is no other way except to get real evidence to speak.
Jia Amnesty pushed the door all the way, and stretched out his hand to signal Song Xi to leave.
Song Xi quickly walked out, and the two immediately got into the carriage and went straight to Gyeonggi Prefecture.
The seven servants of the Sun family who were originally brought to Gyeonggi Province were all taken outside the side hall of Gyeonggi Province.
Song Xi was sitting at the top in a luxurious purple robe, drinking tea leisurely, while Jia She was sitting at the bottom left, continuing to read his unfinished miscellaneous notes when he had nothing to do.Fu Cheng Liu Zhizhong was dressed in official clothes, but stood stiffly between the two of them.There is a screen behind him, through which a person can be vaguely seen sitting behind.
After Liu Zhizhong got Song Xi's consent first, Fang coughed twice and shouted: "Bring everyone up here."
The seven maids and wives of the Sun Mansion entered one by one, lined up in a row, and after bowing to the gentlemen very cautiously, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.
Song Xi still didn't say a word, but gently covered the teacup with the tea lid in his hand.
"Are you looking forward to it?" Song Xi glanced at the direction of the screen, his tone was warm, and his voice was like Lin Laiquan's rhyme.
The seven maids regained their strength after a while after the voice fell, with different expressions.Some of them glanced around with their eyeballs, some were nervous, and some were at a loss.
Liu Zhizhong sent people to take the seven people away.
These seven people all live in a small house in Gyeonggi Prefecture, each with a room, and the door is guarded.But what's going on in the courtyard, everyone can still know if you pay a little attention.
At this moment, the Yacha was whispering outside, then gently opened the door of Mrs. Chen's room, and quietly led Mrs. Chen out of the yard.Not long after, Mrs. Chen was sent back.
……
The next day, the Sun family really sent someone to remind them, asking if the trial of the case was over.He also brought up the matter of his old lady fainting yesterday, and continued the previous statement, insisting that the maids and women are people who are used to the old lady, because the people who serve her during this period are not comfortable, the old lady Now the body is getting more and more uncomfortable.
"Our old lady can tell you, if something happens to her, your Gyeonggi Prefecture will pay for it!"
Liu Zhizhong personally led people to send the remaining six servants back to Sun's residence.
When Sun Yingwu saw Liu Zhizhong, he angrily asked him when the case would be completed.
Liu Zhizhong raised his chin in a pose, showing a very smug expression on his face.
"The official came today not only to return the six servants that your old lady misses, but more importantly, to send Ling Gongzi Sun Xinyang to the Yamen for imprisonment."
"Prisoned? What a joke!" Sun Yingwu glared at Liu Zhizhong angrily, "My son is innocent, and it is impossible for you to have evidence of his crime!"
"Sun Yushi knew how capable our Master Song is. He found the author of "Secrets of the Neighbors" and testified against the servant of the Sun family who had voluntarily testified for him, and everything will be over. Now as long as that The person recounts the confession, signs and pledges, and the case is closed."
Sun Yingwu glanced at the maidservants brought back, only missing Mrs. Chen, frowned and gritted her teeth and said: "It's her, this woman has always been greedy and slippery in Sun's residence, and her words are not serious, you don't want to listen to a crazy woman." nonsense."
"Hey, I didn't say it earlier. Who would believe someone who said he was bad now." Liu Zhizhong waved his hand, and immediately ordered someone to arrest Sun Xinyang.
The common people didn't know where they heard the news, and they quickly gathered at the gate of the Sun Mansion. This time, the things they brought were even fresher, steaming hot cow dung wrapped in lotus leaves.
This time the yamen servants also learned the trick. After they put a splint on Sun Xinyang's neck, they tied his hands and feet with long subway chains and led him away from afar.
In this way, when the yacha took Sun Xinyang out of the gate of the Sun Mansion, he could keep a safe distance from Sun Xinyang.
Sun Xinyang was doted on by his parents and grandparents since he was a child. He was the youngest among his brothers, but he was extremely intelligent and loved to read. The favor he received was always several times that of other brothers.Until now, he is nearly 25 years old, and he has never suffered.Now suddenly being chained like this, being led away like a dog, and facing all kinds of dirty things thrown by the people outside the house.He, who was always elegant, was so frightened that he cried like a child at this moment, squatting on the ground and being dragged by the clerk, refusing to leave.
The old lady of the Sun family was helped over, and when she saw her precious grandson, she cried so hard that she died immediately and passed out.The female relatives all exclaimed and made a fuss.At this moment, Sun Yingwu smacked his lips dryly, squinting at his son like this, but had no choice but to sigh.
In the end, Sun Xinyang was dragged out of the mansion amidst the wailing of his family, and then he could hear a burst of shouting outside the mansion, as well as the sound of various strange things hitting the ground.
Sun Yingwu didn't even dare to look at it. He turned his back and heard his son's screams, his heart throbbing with pain.
The common people followed Sun Xinyang all the way to Gyeonggi Prefecture.Sun Xinyang was completely unrecognizable at this time, strange black, green and various colors were standing all over his body, exuding a foul smell.If he had a choice, Yacha really didn't want him to go to the prison in Gyeonggi Province, because he thought he was too dirty.
Later, someone came up with an idea, brought several buckets of water at the gate of the prison, poured it directly over Sun Xinyang's head, and rewashed it several times before he was barely allowed to enter.
Let's talk about the Sun Mansion, the whole mansion mourned and was already covered in gloom, and all the female relatives were crying miserably.Aunt Wu was identified as the culprit, and she was imprisoned in the woodshed and waited to be released.
Sun Yingwu gradually calmed down, and after careful consideration for a while, he asked people to keep an eye on Mrs. Chen's two sons, and then came to the Gyeonggi government office to inquire about it in person.
The masters of the entire Sun Manor were worried about Sun Xinyang's matter, so naturally they had no time to worry about other things.The servants in the mansion are also busy with this matter, anxious how to persuade the masters.
At this time, the back door of the Sun Mansion was quietly opened, and a nearly forty-year-old woman slipped out with her two children and her husband, without anyone else's suggestion.
The beggar who was squatting near the back door of the Sun Mansion immediately whistled when he saw Mrs. Gu coming out.The carriage parked not far away drove over at a high speed, picked up Mrs. Gu's family, and headed straight to Gyeonggi Province.
In the side hall of Gyeonggi Prefecture, Mrs. Chen is trying her best to show her loyalty to Sun Yingwu, explaining that she is not a traitor.Sun Yingwu retracted the confession because Mrs. Chen understood his hint. After all, Mrs. Chen's two sons are still in the hands of the Sun family.
Sun Yingwu firmly believed in the fact that 'mothers can sacrifice their lives for their children', so he was very confident, and proudly said to Song Xi and Liu Zhizhong: "Since Mrs. Chen is telling the truth now, is the so-called testimony of the two adults before true? To extort a confession by torture? To frame my son and frame our Sun family, the two adults really took great pains. I will go to the palace to report to the emperor, and ask him to judge!"
"You go." Song Xi said lightly.
Sun Yingwu was stunned for a moment, and turned to observe Song Xi suspiciously.
"My lord, we're here." Yachai came to report to Song Xihui.
Song Xi nodded and looked at Liu Zhizhong.
Liu Zhizhong immediately nodded his head to express his understanding, and took a big step to take the servants to resettle Mrs. Gu's family. He must ensure safety, be extremely cautious, and keep the news secret.
Sun Yingwu waited on the spot for a while, but saw that no one came in, and Song Xi kept staring at him, seemingly confident.But if Song Xiruo really has any evidence, he can directly use it to refute him, so why wait until now.
Sun Yingwu sneered, guessing that Song Xi was at the end of his rope and wanted to deceive him.He is so beautiful!Sun Yingwu snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left, and then really entered the palace, crying to the emperor about his grievances.So what if Song Xi is an uncle of the country, he is bullying others without proof, and falsely accuses Zhongliang!
Sun Yingwu not only impeached Song Xi, but also betrayed him miserably. He first talked about how his son suffered innocently, and then said that his old mother was about to die from a gas illness. Finally, he kowtowed and cried bitterly to the emperor, begging for the decision.
Sure enough, the emperor couldn't stand Sun Yingwu's nagging, and hurriedly summoned Song Xi to meet him.After Song Xi worshiped the emperor, he acted as if nothing happened, forcing Sun Yingwu to recount and complain again.Seeing that Sun Yingwu was crying bitterly in front of the emperor, Song Xicai unhurriedly presented a memorial detailing the whole case, as well as the signed statements of relevant people, including the most important statement of Mrs. Gu's family.
In addition to the testimony of Mrs. Gu's confession that Sun Xinyang forced Wu to death, Mrs. Gu's husband and children also confessed.It turned out that the Sun family had already sent people to monitor and control the family members of the seven people. Fortunately, something about Mrs. Chen did a cover-up, and Mrs. Gu's family took the opportunity to escape.
Sun Xinyang was finally convicted of murdering his wife and sentenced to beheaded by Qiuhou Wen.Although Aunt Wu saved her life, the Sun family regarded her as a disaster and kicked her out.After Wu Hanlin's family knew the truth of the matter, they naturally hated Aunt Wu to the core, so how could they let her go back to her natal family.When the common people heard the news that Aunt Wu was wandering on the street, they all congratulated her with "good things". Aunt Wu was beaten into a dung person. Dying, he crawled out of the capital.
As for what happened to her later, no one is curious.A disgraced and notorious woman, out on the loose with no money, is sure to have a hard time.
As for Sun Yingwu, in order to protect his son, he even disregarded public and private interests, and categorically turned black and white.How could the emperor allow such a censor to exist in the court again, and immediately dismissed him from his official position, and in view of his random threat to the servants, the emperor also specially ordered the Sun family to dismiss all the servants , Return the contract of sale, and give each person 50 taels of silver as compensation for dismissal.From Sun Yingwu to the third generation, the Sun family was not allowed to use servants.
In other words, Sun Yingwu not only lost his son, but also lost his official position, and his family will no longer be able to command his servants.The lords and wives who were born in a high family, if they want to eat hot rice and soup, they can only cook it by themselves, even the old lady of her family can't escape this fate, the same is true.
Sun Yingwu made thousands of calculations, but he didn't count the last move.If he hadn't been overconfident and self-willed, and in the end he couldn't resist the righteous participation in front of the emperor, he would have lost a son at most.But now, the entire family has suffered with him.It's all right if they don't have an official rank, and if no one serves them, that's what really kills them.
After all, the Sun family had no face to continue to stay in the capital, and finally the whole family moved out of the capital.It took them a lot of effort when they moved, because there were no servants, and Sun Yingwu and his sons did everything by themselves. Although they had sold things at a low price as much as possible, it was inevitable that they would have to bring a lot of necessities , It took seven or eight days to go back and forth like this before it was over.He and his two sons were so tired that their hands and feet seemed to be broken, and in the process of moving, they were often pointed at by the people in the capital, still dung and stones. It can be said that they were exhausted, humiliated, and smelly Leaving Beijing.
……
After the whole matter was over, the emperor praised Song Xi severely, praising him for his dexterity.
Song Xi didn't dare to take the credit, but frankly detailed what happened, and attributed the main credit to Jia Amnesty.
"You mean he was the one who came up with the idea of attacking east and west?" The emperor still remembered Jia She, the eldest son of Duke Rong.
"More than that, he is also the author of "Secrets of Neighbors" that the Holy Majesty is looking for." Song Xi replied.
Jia Amnesty had expected that Jia Zhen would do some boring things, but fortunately he had prepared before going out, so he took out a book from his sleeve pocket to read.
As the carriage moved forward slowly, Jia Zhen leaned forward and looked out vigorously. At this moment, he really wanted to stick his head out in front of the crowd.
It turned out that the person carrying the knife in front was not an officer or soldier, but a government official from Gyeonggi Prefecture. Because there were too many people onlookers, the government officials lined up in two rows on the left and right, and opened a road in the middle, extending to the main entrance of the Sun Mansion.The door of the mansion was wide open, and there were faint cries and shouts from inside, but the specific words could not be heard clearly.
Jia Zhen turned to look at the onlookers, good guy, almost everyone is grabbing something, and many of them are carrying baskets.It's not uncommon to get any good things, such as stones, rotten vegetable leaves, donkey dung and eggs, and some people don't know where to get a basket of dead rats.Not to mention what it would feel like to be hit by these things, just looking at it, Jia Zhen was already so sick that she wanted to vomit.
Jia Zhen shook her hands, hurriedly put down the curtain, covered her mouth and retched twice.
Jia Amnesty sneered, "You deserve to be bored."
"These common people really have a trick, how can they figure out how to get those dirty things." Jia Zhen took out the teapot from the food box next to the seat, and poured a bowl of herbal tea to drink, so as to suppress his nausea.
Jia Amnesty smiled and continued to read.
While drinking tea, Jia Zhen suddenly brought up the secret of the neighbor's family, "You said that the author of this book is so powerful, how could he deduce the fact that the king of Jin was defrauding the king of Jin from the trivial matter of the fact that there are no beggars from Jin in the capital?" Money is such an important matter. I hate us stupid people who have little knowledge. When we received the book the first day, we ran to the tea shop, and the two or three gathered together and scolded the book. Think about it, we people should be ashamed! We didn’t know that he talked so much throughout the article, that he was talking about problems in Jin. When he rebelled against the king of Jin, we took the book and looked at it carefully, and then we knew who the author was. The only person in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty who foresaw this!"
"There is a specialization in art, he may just be good at it." Jia She said.
Jia Zhen praised again and again, but Jin Jia Amnesty has always been so flat, a bit unwilling.He rolled his eyes, opened the curtain, and asked Jia She to look east.
"Just the girl in blue and white clothes with a basket in front, do you see the dusty things in her basket?"
"I'm not curious." Jia Amnesty didn't look away, and calmly turned the book to the next page.
"Take a look, take a look." Jia Zhen couldn't help persuading him, he really wanted to find a companion to nauseate with him.
Jia She glanced at the place he was pointing at, and glanced at Jia Zhen impatiently, "That's it?"
Jia Zhen couldn't believe that Jia She was so calm, "That's not exciting enough."
"It's just a dead mouse."
Jia Zhen was silent in embarrassment.
"People are coming out!"
There were people shouting outside the car.
Jia Zhen hurriedly went to look, and saw an official walking out of the gate of Sun's residence, followed by five or six yamen servants.After him, there was an old man in brocade casual clothes to see him off, and Jia Zhen recognized him at a glance as Sun Yingwu, the imperial historian.Standing beside him were two young men whose brows resembled him somewhat, they should be Sun Yingwu's sons.
"One of them must be Sun Xinyang, I'm just..." Jia Zhen turned around and rummaged in the car, busy looking for something.
Jia She looked at him: "What are you doing?"
"I also wanted to find something to beat him. You don't know how angry I was when I saw what happened to him." Jia Zhen didn't find anything useful, so she picked up the teapot she drank before, and made a gesture to get out of the car.
Jia She glanced out through the window screen, "Don't waste your efforts, Sun Xinyang is not here, those two are his elder brothers."
Jia Zhen's movements stopped abruptly, but at this moment there was a commotion outside.I don't know that that person made the move first, picked up the donkey dung in his hand and threw it at the door of the house, everyone booed and threw it at the door together.There are always people who throw it incorrectly, and the yamen who do not retreat in time suffer.
The people of the Sun Mansion learned to be smart, and immediately helped Sun Yingwu back, and then closed the gate tightly. In the end, only a small amount of dirty things were successfully thrown into the gate of the Sun Mansion.
"Tell me about you, what are you doing all day long, what are you throwing here! Do you know that your actions are disrespectful to the officials of the imperial court? It's all over now. It's time to cook, and it's time to plant the land Gyeonggi Prefecture has already started investigating Sun Xinyang's matter, and will give justice to the deceased." Liu Zhizhong shouted to the people.
"If it hadn't been reported by "Secrets of My Neighbors", how would you know that the man surnamed Sun is guilty? The case has been solved for more than ten days, and he hasn't been arrested, so what's the point of talking about it?" Someone among the people shouted angrily.
When Jia Amnesty heard this, he frowned slightly. He immediately dropped the book in his hand and got out of the car.Seeing this, Jia Zhen got out of the car in a hurry.
Liu Zhizhong was so angry that he blushed and smacked his lips, not knowing how to refute.
But the common people were strengthened by these words, and they started to gather forward, surrounding Liu Zhizhong and all the yamen servants.They expressed their dissatisfaction with the government one after another, and some even raised their wrists, intending to throw out the things in their hands.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the yamen servants hurriedly scolded them and raised the sabers on their waists.
The two sides confront each other, and the situation is at stake.
"What the little brother said just now was not right." The male voice was flat.
Everyone was stunned and looked around for someone to talk to.
"No matter how good the law is, no matter how powerful the government is, it is impossible to control all the injustices in this world. We are all ordinary people. If a person who breaks the law intends to cover up his crime, who can see through it at a glance? The evil deeds of the wicked have indeed been exposed. , but the government needs empirical evidence to handle the case, so it is also to avoid another unjust case. Don't forget, the previous unjust case of the cowherd in Gyeonggi Province.
Now that the government is already doing their due diligence to investigate this case, if you really want the deceased to be vindicated, you should not block the way of the officials at this moment, but open a way so that they can investigate faster and more conveniently, as soon as possible Close the case. "
Everyone turned their heads to look at the talking master. He was in his early thirties, with beautiful features, and his skin was particularly good. It was as delicate as a peeled egg, making his whole face look exquisite.This person has a calm demeanor, and his face is a little cold. Although he is looking at everyone seriously at the moment, his eyes are very peaceful, and he should be a reasonable person.
The common people also felt that what Jia Amnesty said was reasonable, so they put down their hands one after another and dispersed in all directions.
Liu Zhizhong breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still anger on his face.He walked up to Jia Amnesty and bowed his hands in thanks.
"Thank you Master She for your relief. I'm not afraid of some unreasonable thugs, but those things in their hands will make me sick for a few days if they touch them."
"I think they are very smart, they know how to throw bamboo sticks." Jia She said with a smile.
Liu Zhizhong shook his head helplessly, lamenting that these ordinary people are so idle.
Just now the reaction of those common people made Jia She's heart sink, he immediately bowed his hand to Liu Zhizhong and was about to leave.
Liu Zhizhong hurriedly asked Jia Amnesty, "Are you going?"
"This is my nephew, we are planning to go to Zhuangyuan Building for a vegetarian meal." Jia She replied.
Liu Zhizhong agreed with a smile, and took the people away first.Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen also returned to the carriage and continued on their way.But Jia Amnesty is not as relaxed as before, and he is not in the mood to read a book, and keeps thinking about something with a sullen face.
Seeing that he seemed to have something on his mind, Jia Zhen asked, and seeing that Jia Amnesty didn't think she existed at all, she wisely shut up and continued drinking herbal tea.
When they arrived at Zhuangyuan Building, they were about to ask for a private room when they heard someone from upstairs asking, "But Marquis Jia En is here?"
Jia Zhen glanced at Jia Amnesty, saw that he had no intention of answering, so she answered for him.Then a young man in brocade came down and bowed to invite Jia Zhen and Jia She to go upstairs.It was only then that Jia Zhen realized that this well-dressed person was just a servant.
Jia Zhen turned to ask Jia Amnesty, "Do you know who it is?"
"I know." Jia Amnesty knew very well that among the people he knew, Song Xi must be the one who could show such a grandeur.What's more, only Liu Zhizhong asked about his whereabouts before, and Song Xi was his superior.
Arriving at No. [-] private room, Jia She really saw Song Xi's figure.
Song Xi sat alone on the main seat, and beside him stood a man in his fifties, who was bowing reverently, with a smile on his face, and introduced the latest new dishes in Zhuangyuan Building to Song Xi with a modest attitude. .
"That's the shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building. Usually when we come, he doesn't say a word." Jia Zhen muttered sadly, turned her gaze to Song Xi, and then immediately changed her attitude, feeling very pleasantly surprised, "Master Song is indeed a legend. Master Song in the movie is imposing and extraordinary in appearance, we are all born, but he looks like he was born of a fairy."
"How can a god have emotions and desires, he is also an ordinary person." After Jia She said, he took the lead to enter the door.Jia Zhen muttered something in her mouth, followed her into the door, and was the first to run to greet Song Xi.
"My nephew, Jia Zhen." Jia She introduced.
Song Xi looked Jia Zhen up and down, and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down.Jia Zhen was so happy that she quickly nodded and bowed to express her thanks, then sat down, and then urged Jia Amnesty to sit down quickly.
After the three sat down, no one spoke, only Jia Zhen let out a slight silly laugh.
The food and drink are served.
Jia Zhen took the newly filled wine and wanted to toast the two of them, but they both buried their heads in the meal with indifferent expressions, ignoring each other, and of course ignoring him.Jia Zhen realized that she couldn't disturb her loudly, so she put down the wine in embarrassment, and silently picked up vegetables to eat.
During the entire banquet, no one spoke.
It was the first time that Jia Zhen was so bored after drinking and eating, she almost suffocated herself to death.After all the chopsticks were put away, I heard someone knock on the door immediately.Then I saw the shopkeeper personally bring people to bring water and tea, and serve the three guests to wash their hands and mouth.
Jia Zhen is now very sure that this is exactly what eating at home looks like.
After everything was over, Jia Zhen really couldn't bear it any longer, so she hurriedly found an excuse to say goodbye to Jia She and Song Xi.He didn't want to stay in this dull place, he'd better leave early and get out of bed early, and it would be too late to find some other friends to have a good time later.
Song Xi drank his tea, looked at the door, and saw that even a servant had closed the door.
"What's the matter?" Jia She asked.
Jia Amnesty had already guessed that Song Xi had something to look for him.So during the banquet just now, Song Xi didn't speak, so he also kept silent.In this way, Jia Zhen can be forced to leave without any trouble, otherwise, if someone else asks Jia Zhen to leave, this fellow will definitely ask the bottom line curiously afterwards.
Song Xi: "There is one thing that I have been putting off telling you. One is that I have been really busy recently with the case of King Jin's treason, and the other is also hesitating whether I should speak up. The sage urged me again yesterday, so I thought I should tell you. You, decide for yourself."
"Has your majesty watched "Secret Stories Next Door"?" Jia She asked.
Hearing this, Song Xi looked at Jia Amnesty in surprise.
"Oh, it looks like I saw it, and I still want to see me." Jia Amnesty had already read the message from Song Xi's expression, and asked himself an answer.
Song Xi laughed, and looked at Jia She with strange eyes, "That's good, I don't need to talk, you just guess."
Jia Amnesty pondered for a moment, then asked Song Xi: "Then do you think I should see you?"
"This is your own business, or you should decide for yourself." Song Xi sighed, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for Jia She himself.
Jia She picked it up and drank it down in one gulp.
"How about it?"
"Good tea." Jia She said.
Song Xi: "I'll ask you to decide."
Jia She was silent for a while, then suddenly said simply: "See you!"
"Okay." Song Xi raised the corners of his lips slightly happily, poured another cup of tea for Jia She with a smile, and continued, "Your books are easy to lack, and bright ones are easy to taint. Your books are already quite famous in Beijing. If it goes on like this for a long time, it will eventually lose its reputation, but it’s really hard to live up to it.”
Jia She frowned and looked at Song Xi, sighed in embarrassment, and drank a cup of tea.Song Xi poured him another cup, and Jia She took it up and drank it again.
"So thirsty?" Song Xi asked in surprise.
Jia She sighed in embarrassment, "Have you read my book?"
"I've seen it." Song Xi replied puzzled.
"How's your literary talent?" Jia She continued to ask.
"generally."
"That's it," Jia Amnesty patted the table down, staring at Song Xi with a frown, "What did you say just now? Can't it be simpler? Can't it be easier for people to understand?"
"Okay." Song Xi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "I just want to tell you that a big tree will attract people's envy; if it has a big reputation, it will become more and more evil, and it is not under your control. In the future, when the name is not worthy of its name, jealous If the mobs attack it, it will be your time of death."
"I knew it earlier." Jia She gave Song Xi a disgusted look, thinking that he did it on purpose just now, "Don't act too talented, ordinary people like me may not understand you Once you talk, you can't help being jealous. It just fits your "big tree attracts wind and makes people jealous"!"
"Okay, I'll remember." Song Xi said.
"As for the book, you're right. I discovered the problem today, and it's just a sign, not a big deal. But if things go on like this, the reputation is too strong, and it will definitely cause a lot of trouble." Jia She sighed road.
Song Xi stared at Jia She meaningfully, and said with a smile, "You just need to understand."
This time it was Jia She who went to fetch the teapot and poured a cup for Song Xi.In fact, Song Xi didn't drink that cup of tea, but Jia She got another empty cup and poured it for him.
"The sage summoned me, let me prepare for it in a few days." After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, seeing Song Xi nodding in agreement, he cupped his hands to thank him, and said goodbye to him.
Song Xi sat alone in the same place for a long time, with a cold face and a very quiet silence all the time, suddenly he laughed, he raised his hand and picked up the cup of tea that Jia She had poured for him, first sniffed it, and then drank it slowly , and then wanted to get up and leave.
At this time the door was opened, Song Xi looked up, Jia Amnesty did not leave, but stood at the door.
Jia Amnesty asked him directly, "Are you still waiting to see others? If you don't wait, it would be good to ask your subordinates to take me back home. That brat left by himself in the car without leaving me anything. Being dragged out by him, I have no money or followers at the moment.”
"Exactly,"
Jia Amnesty thought that Song Xi would send him back to Rong Mansion immediately, so he nodded his head directly, but he didn't expect the second half of his sentence to be wrong.
"I'm about to intervene in Sun Xinyang's case, and you'll go away with me."
"Investigate the case?" Jia She snorted coldly, "It's clear, what do you want me to do?"
"It seems that you don't understand the current situation. The government wants people to prove it. The people who provided testimony in your book are all anonymous. Others don't know it. It will be very troublesome to investigate. In addition, Sun Yingwu is obstructing it. Naturally, it will be very troublesome. Time. Now the two maids around the Wu family who were released from the Sun residence have been found, but it can only be confirmed from the side that the maids of the Wu family have indeed been replaced, but it does not mean that Sun Xinyang is suspected of forcing his wife to death. As for Wu's direct sister, because she was young at the time, and because she didn't like Aunt Wu at all, she had a quarrel with her, so it can only be used as evidence, and it cannot prove Sun Xinyang's crime of murdering his wife."
"I almost forgot, this matter is really difficult." Jia She sighed.
It has been more than a year since Mrs. Wu died, and the evidence can only be obtained from the servants who served him back then.The most important of these is the old man who is working in the Sun's residence. She witnessed Sun Xinyang's forced death of Mrs. Wu.But if she stood up to testify at this moment, one would add guilt to herself and she would be unwilling, and the other would be what would happen if she betrayed her master. Everyone should know in their hearts.Her contract of prostitution is still in the Sun's family, and the child she gave birth to is also a slave in the Sun's family.It was Sun Xinyang who was convicted and imprisoned because of her testimony, and his father Sun Yingwu was still there, so she dared not jump out to tell the truth no matter what.
"At that time, after Mrs. Wu gave birth, there were seven people transferred by Sun Xinyang to serve and monitor her, four women and three maids. I had already ordered people to bring these seven people into Gyeonggi Prefecture for strict protection, but so far they have not There is one person who is willing to admit that Sun Xinyang murdered his wife. There is no way to punish these seven people, and they will give others a handle. After all, Sun Yingwu is a censor and is good at impeachment.
Now the case is stuck on these seven people. Today Liu Zhizhong wanted to go to the Sun Mansion to redeem the contracts of sale of the seven people, but the old lady of the Sun family cried and said that they had to use each of them, and refused to let them go. Finally, she fainted .Sun Yingwu was generous, and he was willing to take the initiative to hand over the deed of selling himself, and those who make it clear will clear themselves.The family sang in turns with red faces and white faces. Such a fuss seemed to be unreasonable in Gyeonggi Prefecture. "Song Xi explained the process.
"These seven people are all sons of the Sun family. Even if they obtained the deeds of prostitution, their brothers, sisters, parents and children are still working in the Sun family. How dare they confess? It's useless to do so." Jia She shook his head.
"rational."
Song Xi frowned slightly, because he had been busy with Jin Wang's rebellion before, he took this case lightly.He just confessed a few words casually, and handed over the full power of the case to Chengliu Zhizhong of Gyeonggi Prefecture.Now, the major event of King Jin's rebellion has been settled easily, but Sun Xinyang's small case has not been able to obtain strong evidence for a long time, and it has been delayed until now.
"If this continues, Sun Xinyang will be the second Xing Zhong, but his fate will definitely be better than Xing Zhong's. He has a father who is a censor, and he is the most eloquent. If there is no evidence, he will definitely be dismissed. After washing it cleanly, there is no guarantee that he will take another bite of "Secret Stories Next Door" in the end and ban this book." Jia She analyzed with a frown.
Song Xi looked at him sideways, "You are very good at seeing people. You don't need to be 'guaranteed', it is very accurate. Sun Yingwu has already written a letter asking the saint to ban your book. Fortunately, it was because of the King Jin's incident at that time. It’s been diverted. If Sun Xinyang’s matter is fooled by him this time, Sun Yingwu will definitely not let it go, and your book will still be lost.”
Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Sun Yingwu's reaction was quite fast, which also showed that he was extremely bold.He wrote about his son's shortcomings in the book, and he still dared to impeach him for banning.Generally, this kind of person has a very strong psychological quality, even if they make a mistake, as long as others can't produce evidence, they will always be confident and confident, and will never admit defeat to anything.To fight against such a person, there is no other way except to get real evidence to speak.
Jia Amnesty pushed the door all the way, and stretched out his hand to signal Song Xi to leave.
Song Xi quickly walked out, and the two immediately got into the carriage and went straight to Gyeonggi Prefecture.
The seven servants of the Sun family who were originally brought to Gyeonggi Province were all taken outside the side hall of Gyeonggi Province.
Song Xi was sitting at the top in a luxurious purple robe, drinking tea leisurely, while Jia She was sitting at the bottom left, continuing to read his unfinished miscellaneous notes when he had nothing to do.Fu Cheng Liu Zhizhong was dressed in official clothes, but stood stiffly between the two of them.There is a screen behind him, through which a person can be vaguely seen sitting behind.
After Liu Zhizhong got Song Xi's consent first, Fang coughed twice and shouted: "Bring everyone up here."
The seven maids and wives of the Sun Mansion entered one by one, lined up in a row, and after bowing to the gentlemen very cautiously, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.
Song Xi still didn't say a word, but gently covered the teacup with the tea lid in his hand.
"Are you looking forward to it?" Song Xi glanced at the direction of the screen, his tone was warm, and his voice was like Lin Laiquan's rhyme.
The seven maids regained their strength after a while after the voice fell, with different expressions.Some of them glanced around with their eyeballs, some were nervous, and some were at a loss.
Liu Zhizhong sent people to take the seven people away.
These seven people all live in a small house in Gyeonggi Prefecture, each with a room, and the door is guarded.But what's going on in the courtyard, everyone can still know if you pay a little attention.
At this moment, the Yacha was whispering outside, then gently opened the door of Mrs. Chen's room, and quietly led Mrs. Chen out of the yard.Not long after, Mrs. Chen was sent back.
……
The next day, the Sun family really sent someone to remind them, asking if the trial of the case was over.He also brought up the matter of his old lady fainting yesterday, and continued the previous statement, insisting that the maids and women are people who are used to the old lady, because the people who serve her during this period are not comfortable, the old lady Now the body is getting more and more uncomfortable.
"Our old lady can tell you, if something happens to her, your Gyeonggi Prefecture will pay for it!"
Liu Zhizhong personally led people to send the remaining six servants back to Sun's residence.
When Sun Yingwu saw Liu Zhizhong, he angrily asked him when the case would be completed.
Liu Zhizhong raised his chin in a pose, showing a very smug expression on his face.
"The official came today not only to return the six servants that your old lady misses, but more importantly, to send Ling Gongzi Sun Xinyang to the Yamen for imprisonment."
"Prisoned? What a joke!" Sun Yingwu glared at Liu Zhizhong angrily, "My son is innocent, and it is impossible for you to have evidence of his crime!"
"Sun Yushi knew how capable our Master Song is. He found the author of "Secrets of the Neighbors" and testified against the servant of the Sun family who had voluntarily testified for him, and everything will be over. Now as long as that The person recounts the confession, signs and pledges, and the case is closed."
Sun Yingwu glanced at the maidservants brought back, only missing Mrs. Chen, frowned and gritted her teeth and said: "It's her, this woman has always been greedy and slippery in Sun's residence, and her words are not serious, you don't want to listen to a crazy woman." nonsense."
"Hey, I didn't say it earlier. Who would believe someone who said he was bad now." Liu Zhizhong waved his hand, and immediately ordered someone to arrest Sun Xinyang.
The common people didn't know where they heard the news, and they quickly gathered at the gate of the Sun Mansion. This time, the things they brought were even fresher, steaming hot cow dung wrapped in lotus leaves.
This time the yamen servants also learned the trick. After they put a splint on Sun Xinyang's neck, they tied his hands and feet with long subway chains and led him away from afar.
In this way, when the yacha took Sun Xinyang out of the gate of the Sun Mansion, he could keep a safe distance from Sun Xinyang.
Sun Xinyang was doted on by his parents and grandparents since he was a child. He was the youngest among his brothers, but he was extremely intelligent and loved to read. The favor he received was always several times that of other brothers.Until now, he is nearly 25 years old, and he has never suffered.Now suddenly being chained like this, being led away like a dog, and facing all kinds of dirty things thrown by the people outside the house.He, who was always elegant, was so frightened that he cried like a child at this moment, squatting on the ground and being dragged by the clerk, refusing to leave.
The old lady of the Sun family was helped over, and when she saw her precious grandson, she cried so hard that she died immediately and passed out.The female relatives all exclaimed and made a fuss.At this moment, Sun Yingwu smacked his lips dryly, squinting at his son like this, but had no choice but to sigh.
In the end, Sun Xinyang was dragged out of the mansion amidst the wailing of his family, and then he could hear a burst of shouting outside the mansion, as well as the sound of various strange things hitting the ground.
Sun Yingwu didn't even dare to look at it. He turned his back and heard his son's screams, his heart throbbing with pain.
The common people followed Sun Xinyang all the way to Gyeonggi Prefecture.Sun Xinyang was completely unrecognizable at this time, strange black, green and various colors were standing all over his body, exuding a foul smell.If he had a choice, Yacha really didn't want him to go to the prison in Gyeonggi Province, because he thought he was too dirty.
Later, someone came up with an idea, brought several buckets of water at the gate of the prison, poured it directly over Sun Xinyang's head, and rewashed it several times before he was barely allowed to enter.
Let's talk about the Sun Mansion, the whole mansion mourned and was already covered in gloom, and all the female relatives were crying miserably.Aunt Wu was identified as the culprit, and she was imprisoned in the woodshed and waited to be released.
Sun Yingwu gradually calmed down, and after careful consideration for a while, he asked people to keep an eye on Mrs. Chen's two sons, and then came to the Gyeonggi government office to inquire about it in person.
The masters of the entire Sun Manor were worried about Sun Xinyang's matter, so naturally they had no time to worry about other things.The servants in the mansion are also busy with this matter, anxious how to persuade the masters.
At this time, the back door of the Sun Mansion was quietly opened, and a nearly forty-year-old woman slipped out with her two children and her husband, without anyone else's suggestion.
The beggar who was squatting near the back door of the Sun Mansion immediately whistled when he saw Mrs. Gu coming out.The carriage parked not far away drove over at a high speed, picked up Mrs. Gu's family, and headed straight to Gyeonggi Province.
In the side hall of Gyeonggi Prefecture, Mrs. Chen is trying her best to show her loyalty to Sun Yingwu, explaining that she is not a traitor.Sun Yingwu retracted the confession because Mrs. Chen understood his hint. After all, Mrs. Chen's two sons are still in the hands of the Sun family.
Sun Yingwu firmly believed in the fact that 'mothers can sacrifice their lives for their children', so he was very confident, and proudly said to Song Xi and Liu Zhizhong: "Since Mrs. Chen is telling the truth now, is the so-called testimony of the two adults before true? To extort a confession by torture? To frame my son and frame our Sun family, the two adults really took great pains. I will go to the palace to report to the emperor, and ask him to judge!"
"You go." Song Xi said lightly.
Sun Yingwu was stunned for a moment, and turned to observe Song Xi suspiciously.
"My lord, we're here." Yachai came to report to Song Xihui.
Song Xi nodded and looked at Liu Zhizhong.
Liu Zhizhong immediately nodded his head to express his understanding, and took a big step to take the servants to resettle Mrs. Gu's family. He must ensure safety, be extremely cautious, and keep the news secret.
Sun Yingwu waited on the spot for a while, but saw that no one came in, and Song Xi kept staring at him, seemingly confident.But if Song Xiruo really has any evidence, he can directly use it to refute him, so why wait until now.
Sun Yingwu sneered, guessing that Song Xi was at the end of his rope and wanted to deceive him.He is so beautiful!Sun Yingwu snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left, and then really entered the palace, crying to the emperor about his grievances.So what if Song Xi is an uncle of the country, he is bullying others without proof, and falsely accuses Zhongliang!
Sun Yingwu not only impeached Song Xi, but also betrayed him miserably. He first talked about how his son suffered innocently, and then said that his old mother was about to die from a gas illness. Finally, he kowtowed and cried bitterly to the emperor, begging for the decision.
Sure enough, the emperor couldn't stand Sun Yingwu's nagging, and hurriedly summoned Song Xi to meet him.After Song Xi worshiped the emperor, he acted as if nothing happened, forcing Sun Yingwu to recount and complain again.Seeing that Sun Yingwu was crying bitterly in front of the emperor, Song Xicai unhurriedly presented a memorial detailing the whole case, as well as the signed statements of relevant people, including the most important statement of Mrs. Gu's family.
In addition to the testimony of Mrs. Gu's confession that Sun Xinyang forced Wu to death, Mrs. Gu's husband and children also confessed.It turned out that the Sun family had already sent people to monitor and control the family members of the seven people. Fortunately, something about Mrs. Chen did a cover-up, and Mrs. Gu's family took the opportunity to escape.
Sun Xinyang was finally convicted of murdering his wife and sentenced to beheaded by Qiuhou Wen.Although Aunt Wu saved her life, the Sun family regarded her as a disaster and kicked her out.After Wu Hanlin's family knew the truth of the matter, they naturally hated Aunt Wu to the core, so how could they let her go back to her natal family.When the common people heard the news that Aunt Wu was wandering on the street, they all congratulated her with "good things". Aunt Wu was beaten into a dung person. Dying, he crawled out of the capital.
As for what happened to her later, no one is curious.A disgraced and notorious woman, out on the loose with no money, is sure to have a hard time.
As for Sun Yingwu, in order to protect his son, he even disregarded public and private interests, and categorically turned black and white.How could the emperor allow such a censor to exist in the court again, and immediately dismissed him from his official position, and in view of his random threat to the servants, the emperor also specially ordered the Sun family to dismiss all the servants , Return the contract of sale, and give each person 50 taels of silver as compensation for dismissal.From Sun Yingwu to the third generation, the Sun family was not allowed to use servants.
In other words, Sun Yingwu not only lost his son, but also lost his official position, and his family will no longer be able to command his servants.The lords and wives who were born in a high family, if they want to eat hot rice and soup, they can only cook it by themselves, even the old lady of her family can't escape this fate, the same is true.
Sun Yingwu made thousands of calculations, but he didn't count the last move.If he hadn't been overconfident and self-willed, and in the end he couldn't resist the righteous participation in front of the emperor, he would have lost a son at most.But now, the entire family has suffered with him.It's all right if they don't have an official rank, and if no one serves them, that's what really kills them.
After all, the Sun family had no face to continue to stay in the capital, and finally the whole family moved out of the capital.It took them a lot of effort when they moved, because there were no servants, and Sun Yingwu and his sons did everything by themselves. Although they had sold things at a low price as much as possible, it was inevitable that they would have to bring a lot of necessities , It took seven or eight days to go back and forth like this before it was over.He and his two sons were so tired that their hands and feet seemed to be broken, and in the process of moving, they were often pointed at by the people in the capital, still dung and stones. It can be said that they were exhausted, humiliated, and smelly Leaving Beijing.
……
After the whole matter was over, the emperor praised Song Xi severely, praising him for his dexterity.
Song Xi didn't dare to take the credit, but frankly detailed what happened, and attributed the main credit to Jia Amnesty.
"You mean he was the one who came up with the idea of attacking east and west?" The emperor still remembered Jia She, the eldest son of Duke Rong.
"More than that, he is also the author of "Secrets of Neighbors" that the Holy Majesty is looking for." Song Xi replied.
