The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

Last time, when we talked about soldiers searching for stolen goods, people were panicked and panicked for a while. Unexpectedly, they finally found both poison and palace cards in Baochai's room. These soldiers always had the same idea: rely on you What Miss Houmen, the daughter of the general's family, if nothing happens, she is charming and extremely noble, but once she gets involved in something, the evidence is solid, and she is immediately inferior to dung.

So these people tore and shoved Baochai, and dragged her to ask for credit in front of Yinxiang and the magistrate, just like pigs and dogs, without any pity.

Although Yinxiang hated Baochai, he once suspected that it was her, but in the end he was skeptical and couldn't do it right. Now that he got the stolen goods together, his hatred and hatred for her deepened, and his eyes slowly condensed on Baochai's face. That's right, when Baochai found out what was going on, she panicked, her face turned pale, and she quickly waved her hands to argue: "Brother Thirteen and the magistrate are clearly aware that this thing is not mine, I don't know how it got there, Someone must be trying to frame me and murder me." Arguing in every possible way, exchanging tears, it is really pitiful.

When Aunt Xue saw that Baochai had been brought here, she came forward in a hurry to please, and asked Mrs. Jia Muwang to wait for a word. Yes, it must be some little girl who is worried about being punished and planted on the head of the master."

That Yinxiang just turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, holding the palace card and rubbing it in his hand, smiling lightly and concentrating, not knowing what to think.

After looking at Baochai for a while, Fang smiled to the magistrate, "according to the master, how should we judge such a thing now?"

The magistrate hurriedly said: "Nowadays, people have stolen twice, and everyone has seen it with their own eyes. Even if someone planted and framed it, the master can't escape the responsibility for such a thing, and the case can be finalized."

Yin Xiang nodded and asked: "Ben elder brother heard that the magistrate is very proficient in the laws of the Qing Dynasty, so I really want to ask the master for advice. Poisoning Yigege and stealing elder brother's palace card are both crimes. How should I be punished?" place?"

As far as this matter is concerned, no one knows Yinxiang's intentions. Even if anyone comes to intercede now, he will not buy it. He will seriously stick to it to the end. , It's just moths flying into the flames, because of Aunt Xue's plea, no one is really moved except Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang's words, in Yinxiang's view, are not as good as a wisp of air, and everyone is silent tacitly. The whole room seemed to be dead, as if deliberately waiting for the magistrate's final sentence.

The magistrate didn't dare to offend Yin Xiang, and he was also thinking about the relationship between Baochai, Jia Zheng, Jia Mu and others in private. After thinking about it, Fang smiled and said, "It's a heinous crime for the next to commit the above, but it's only for the civilians and the officials. , but there is a different way, I don’t know this treasure girl..."

Yinxiang said with a smile: "His family is a merchant, and Miss Bao is the daughter of a merchant."

Hearing this, the magistrate breathed a sigh of relief. At first, he thought that Baochai had such a great status, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, and since ancient times, merchants were the last class. In his eyes, the minister is just as poor and lowly as an ant. Now that she has offended Elder Brother again, he doesn't need to be too afraid of anything. It seems that there is no need to investigate the truth and resolve the grievances—at most go through the formalities, the meaning, That's all.

Then he said firmly: "In this case, it is no different from ordinary people. According to the laws of my Qing Dynasty, if you steal palace cards and harm justice, you should be beheaded! Please allow me to escort him back to the house and interrogate him strictly so that he can be convicted. .”

The prefect's words scared everyone, behead! ?Everyone seemed to be a little dull, including Baochai, who couldn't turn around for a while, until Yinxiang smiled and said: "Since that's the case, I have to thank the magistrate." Two words, not a joke, Baochai will be beheaded!

It was Aunt Xue who came back to her senses first. She rushed forward like a madman and hugged Baochai tightly. Regardless of the etiquette and face, she tried her best not to let anyone touch her, crying and screaming, " Wronged', the voice shook the sky, it was shocking to hear, Mrs. Wang and the daughters-in-law and maids all went to pull and beg for mercy, Baochai was so stupid that she couldn't say a word, and there was no one on her face Color, hands and feet trembling there, like sifting chaff.

Aunt Xue was in a daze for a moment, utterly devoid of reason, and in a panic, she threw off the crowd and knelt down beside Yinxiang, crying: "Brother Thirteen, please forgive me, we were wrong in the past, yes We don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and we want to curry favor with the thirteenth elder brother, and we have exhausted the tricks again and again, which makes the elder brother angry. We are villain bastards, and the elder brother is a Bodhisattva Buddha. The elder brother will not count the faults of the villain, so spare my life here stop."

Seeing that Yinxiang was unmoved, she hurriedly knelt and crawled to Daiyu's place, kowtowed her head a few times, Daiyu's cheeks turned red, and she got up quickly to leave. Aunt Xue grabbed her and cried: It's us or not, it's all our fault, girl, please forgive me anyway, just say something for me, brother Thirteen doesn't listen to others, but he is willing to hear what you say, your sister Bao is really big, she was wronged .”

Then he pulled Daiyu's skirt with one hand, and slapped himself on the mouth with the other, cursing and cursing himself, and the crisp "pop" sound could be heard all over the room. At this moment, Jiamu, Mrs. Xing and the others saw that Yinxiang insisted on being serious, so they were not able to speak. Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and others opened their mouths, but Yinxiang ignored them at all. Those girls saw that it was a matter of human life, how could they plead for mercy?In the whole room, only Daiyu could say a word. Seeing Aunt Xue crying sadly and begging herself on her knees, she couldn't help feeling helpless, and said, "Brother Thirteen, can this matter be treated lightly?" What about hair loss?"

Na Yinxiang also knew that Daiyu must be moved with compassion again, and he spoke for them, and he did what he thought. It turned out that he did not intend to kill Baochai and others. , Just like this, if Baochai was beheaded seriously, if someone with a heart takes it as a pretext to say that he killed her in vain, it would be a waste of time for Huang Ama, so it is better to use this as an example to scare the monkeys so that everyone will not dare to underestimate Daiyu in the future. Don't dare to touch her crooked idea, that's all.

Since this insignificant life is to be spared after all, it is better to ask Daiyu to sell their personal favors. Daiyu has saved lives from Xue's family. ?

Then he laughed and said, "Since the righteous sister begged for mercy, I will spare your death."

At this time, the soldiers had already set up Baochai. After hearing this, they saw the magistrate hurriedly waved her hand, so they had to put her down. Baochai slipped down like a piece of paper, and her soul seemed to be gone. My aunt was overjoyed, crying and thanking her in a hurry.

Yinxiang said again: "However, after all, the stolen goods were searched from your house. Even though death is inevitable, life crime is inevitable. Miss Bao is the chief culprit, and the rest are inevitable." Then he turned to the magistrate and said seriously: "There is Master Lao Zhifu."

The magistrate has been in the officialdom for decades, and he is best at capturing people's hearts. At this moment, he knew Yinxiang's likes and dislikes, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I know." Everyone took them out, Bao girl was fined with a stick of forty, and served with splints!The mother was punished with thirty rods, the man was punished with thirty chest whips, and the stock rod was sixty!After the punishment, I will thank you! '.

Aunt Xue's smile hadn't lasted for a few seconds, when she saw a few soldiers really coming forward to grab someone, she was startled and frightened, and then there was another commotion, begging for mercy, crying and complaining about her grievances. He was dragged out of the door, and after a while, he heard the screams of killing pigs and donkeys outside the door. After a long while, the soldiers dragged Baochai and others to thank him again.

That Baochai's hands were bound and tortured, bloody, the clothes on his back were completely soaked in blood, his cheeks were deformed and distorted in pain, like a withered ghost, it was hard to recognize the former Baochai, and Aunt Xue was also affected. After the punishment, it was not much better than Baochai. The soldiers let go, and all of them collapsed on the ground, and they had to endure the pain of climbing up to the steps to express their gratitude. It is hard to describe the pain.

All the girls in the house and Daiyu turned around, not daring to look any further. Xiangyun was only following Daiyu at the moment, and his words were full of comforting words, extremely considerate, and there was no more respect for Baochai in his words than in the past. The words, let alone the slightest sympathy for Baochai's current situation, as if he was a different person.

After punishing the master and servant of the Xue family, Yinxiang was willing to ask the magistrate to go back. The magistrate finally went to pay homage, and the crowd dispersed. The sound is so bleak.

Yinxiang got up, and said leisurely: "I have always been merciful and respectful to people, but if Miss Bao thinks that if she doesn't show her power, it means she has no temper, then she is too confused. I know very well that this punishment now can only be regarded as light, if Miss Bao still feels unfair and resentful, if she dares to make trouble in the future—"

Yinxiang turned his back to the grandma, wife, girl, daughter-in-law and everyone in the house, as if talking to Baochai, more like saying loudly to everyone: "It's like making trouble with my Aixinjue Luo Yinxiang!"

Baochai nodded in panic, shook her head again, and said hoarsely, "Don't dare", the ugly facial features didn't know whether to cry or laugh, it was even more distorted and ugly, the house was silent, and the quiet environment reflected Yinxiang's words very clearly .

Daiyu was a little embarrassed at first, and felt that Yinxiang and Yang Wei were too much. After all, among the two things, one was born because of her, and one was punished because of her. But after hearing Yinxiang's sonorous and forceful last sentence, "If someone makes trouble again , I love Xinjueluo with me.Yinxiang can't make it through! ', at that moment, I felt a warm current rushing up in my heart, warming my whole body and mind, looking at Yinxiang's frowning brows, looking at his stubborn back, looking at the setting sun slanting, his anger With a side face that was slightly flushed unexpectedly, a kind of happiness of being cared for suddenly swept over, and gradually a strong feeling of emotion traveled through her heart. Before she knew it, her eye sockets were already moist, and she turned her head away for fear of being seen.

The maids hurriedly followed Yinxiang, and when the footsteps could no longer be heard, Sister Feng groaned, and hurriedly said: "Stupid thing, just watching there, hurry up and mix Auntie and Sister Bao in!"

Seeing the order, all the daughters-in-law hurriedly agreed to come forward to help, and in a mess, Daiyu got up and wiped her tears and left. Xiangyun's sharp eyes saw that Daiyu was about to leave, and hurriedly said, "Sister Lin, wait for me." Followed out.

Walking into the garden, seeing that there was no one around, Xiangyun sighed, and said, "I never imagined that a person like Sister Bao would do such a thing. It's all because I'm too simple in the past, and she pretended to be so innocent." A person with the most elegant and dignified appearance, who thought she was the first one to be good, but still wanted to recognize her as a sister. She said that Sister Lin was not good, and I was confused and took it seriously. In the drum, I was really deceived by her." At the end, his eyes were wet.

Then he said embarrassingly: "In the past, I was at odds with Sister Bao, and I often provoked Sister Lin according to her orders, and made Sister Lin angry. Sister still annoys me, doesn't she?"

Daiyu heard her say so many words in a soft voice, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "What are you talking about in the past?"

Xiangyun was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "So, sister Lin forgave me?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "I never blamed you, how can I forgive you? It's so boring."

Xiangyun saw that although Daiyu was still a little distant, she didn't feel as blunt as before, so it was good, and said with a smile: "I thought Sister Lin must be angry that I had been in the same breath as Sister Bao. Now that my sister said so, I feel relieved. Sister Bao was jealous of Sister Lin and poisoned Sister Lin. Now that she got the stolen goods and received this punishment, she will never dare to come out to make trouble again. Sister will also You can sit back and relax, and don’t have to be wary of others anymore.”

Daiyu smiled and nodded, just walking to the side of a row of crabapple trees, it was already autumn, the flowers withered early, and the leaves were slightly withered and yellow, many leaves under the tree were not cleaned, Daiyu leisurely bent over to pick up a leaf, concentrating on it He smiled lightly and said: "If the leaves fall, if you have to attribute the cause, the wind must be the only one. It's just that the season is not deep yet, how can there be so many leaves that have not yet withered and yellowed? It can be seen that it is not the fault of the wind, but the urchin deliberately did it. "

Xiang Yun was startled, then tilted his head, frowned and asked with a smile: "What does Sister Lin mean? I don't understand."

Daiyu looked back at her and said with a smile, "It's strange that you are such a clever person that you don't understand this."

Then he smiled and said: "If Sister Bao really did everything, I think she will restrain herself after being punished. However, if someone deliberately planted the blame on her, how can I sit back and relax?"

Xiangyun was horrified when he heard this, and his heart skipped a beat. The eyes he looked at Daiyu were so pure and transparent, like a pool of water, it shouldn't be, such eyes shouldn't hide such a deep feeling. The thing is right. Could it be that she has always underestimated her?Could it be that Daiyu is really the most dangerous one here?

Suddenly there was an inexplicable fear, and the innocent smile on Xiangyun's face gradually receded. She claimed to be a smart person, but now facing Daiyu, she suddenly felt weak and powerless, so she smiled and said, "Sister Lin, you How do you know it's me?"

Daiyu's dazed eyes holding the leaves slowly moved to Xiangyun's face, she was very calm, but there was a strange sparkle hidden in her eyes, the impurity-free lake water disappeared, as if there were many kinds of emotions intertwined together, In fact, it's very simple there, but Xiangyun felt that her ability was already unpredictable, so she hurriedly asked, "Sister Lin, when did you know about it?"

Daiyu recalled such a question in her heart, as if she was dreaming, she said leisurely: "Now."

Xiangyun was stunned, and gradually let go of Daiyu's hand.

Daiyu slowly shook her head, smiled, looked into Xiangyun's eyes, and said: "I just tell you what's on my mind, I didn't know it was you, but you told me——Yun'er , You really planted it on her? You stole the palace card? Did you poison it too?"

Xiangyun listened in a daze, and waited until the end, quickly waved his hands and said: "No, I didn't poison it, I just put the palace card into Sister Bao's beauty bottle, and the medicine was in there by coincidence, I will take a little You don't even know, Sister Lin, it must be Sister Bao who poisoned you, and it has nothing to do with me."

Daiyu frowned slightly, looking at Xiangyun, she really couldn't tell anything from this somewhat frightened face, maybe what she said was true, but for a sister who had the heart to frame her as the closest sister Is there a word 'true' at all?

A trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he asked: "Since that's the case, Yun'er, where did you get the palace card? The kid didn't mention that you entered the Xiangyun Pavilion."

Xiang Yun hesitated slightly, and said, "Of course it's my girl."

He laughed again and said, "Actually, I've been annoyed with Sister Bao for a long time. Why are you always arguing with Sister Lin? Sister Lin never offended her, but she always wants to get along with her sister. Not to mention me, others are also angry at being unfair." Sister Lin said that someone poisoned you that day, so I guessed it was her, and I planted her frame to vent my anger on Sister Lin, should I let her do evil in vain?"

When Daiyu finished speaking, Xiangyun kept saying that it was for her, but Daiyu didn't believe it. Looking at the girl whose childishness was still on her face, she felt a chill down her spine, and suddenly remembered that Lin Ruhai would say goodbye to her brother and sister. A sentence I said at the time: Jia's mansion is deep and cold, comparable to a cold pool——

She still remembered that not long after Fang entered Jia's mansion, Xiangyun came. She was seven years old at that time, and Xiangyun was younger. When entering the engraved glass cover, Xiangyun laughed and danced happily, her smile was as pure as water, it was exactly the same as the smile on her face now, there was hardly any difference, but Daiyu knew that this happened earlier There are earth-shattering changes, and there are completely different.

A kind of faint exhaustion came from the bottom of her heart, Daiyu sighed leisurely, the Xiangyun back then is dead, now this is just a body smothered in greed.

So I said goodbye to Xiangyun coldly, and went back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Day after day, everything in the mansion remains the same, Daiyu doesn't go out of the Xiaoxiang Mansion very often since this time to investigate and deal with the matter, but she just reads a book, plays the piano a few times, concentrates and stares in a daze for a while, and secretly plots when she has free time Where Lin Long should be at the moment, and when to return, the rest don't want to think too much, even if there are occasional visitors from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, they are lazy and unwilling to deal with it.

I don't want to think that when I was about to take a nap that day, I suddenly saw the girl come in and said: "A lot of people have come to Lingfeng Residence, and they have brought a lot of luggage. Looking at it, it looks like the businessman who was going to rent last time."
