An old lady's life

The Second Young Master Li mentioned by the entourage was not in the capital. At the end of August, the aunt of the Li family who married out of town died, and the Second Young Master Li was sent to offer condolences, so he escaped.

The Li family was informed of this situation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The master and wife of the Li family were so frightened that they lost their minds, and immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to the aunt's house, telling their son not to return to Beijing.

However, according to Second Master Fang, there was no Second Master Li among the people who assaulted that woman that night. Everyone was a little drunk, and only five of them were the ones who actually violated that woman. Fourth Master Feng Or after the four of them finished their work, they threatened to rape the woman. Second Master Li was so drunk that he couldn't even stand up.

The case finally made a gratifying progress, and everyone in the criminal department breathed a sigh of relief.However, Princess Huarong sent people to remind her every day, and asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to arrest the murderer and bring him to justice within a certain period of time. If it could not be done, her Princess Mansion would dispatch troops to solve it. Her behavior annoyed everyone.

When Jia Amnesty returned home and chatted after dinner, when he talked about this case that attracted the attention of the whole capital, he made a rough guess, and Hongye, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang were all a little angry when they heard it.

Mrs. Zhang muttered: "Can I say that they actually died well?" It's just a pity that all members of the Feng family were killed for no reason because of the fourth son Feng.

Wang's eyeballs rolled and rolled, she really wanted to nod in agreement.

Jia Amnesty choked up in his heart, and he didn't speak for a long time. A woman's reputation is greater than the sky, and it is reasonable for that woman's family to retaliate. It's just that he also killed so many innocent people in the Feng family. He is better than Ye Sangong. Waiting for others to be even more vicious!

Hongye sighed secretly, not wanting to get entangled in this issue. It was already unclear who was right and who was wrong, so she said: "That person must still be in Beijing, you should be careful in arresting him."

Jia Amnesty nodded, then turned to other topics, teasing Jia Zheng, their Ministry of Industry is now a favorite, the craftsmen of Qianshan Workshop have produced many good things, businessmen have heard the news, and some convenient things have appeared on the market.

Jia Zheng’s expression was very calm. Their team researched big things, such as carriage shock absorption and foreign clocks and watches on the market, and made them by themselves, such as glass. As far as he knew, the craftsmen of Qianshan Workshop had at least Five groups of people are working on glass, but to no avail, but their team has made progress.

"Brother, don't worry, I can handle it." People who are cornered have unlimited potential. In the past, Jia Zheng might not be good at listening to other people's words, and it was easy to follow others' ways. He is fully defensive now, and no one else can use him to make excuses.

Another two days later, this day is a big Asahi.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the left and right servants have all gone to the court. Jia Amnesty and others are discussing the progress of the case. The officials and government servants sent to Fengjiao Mountain to investigate have also returned. They have brought a reliable news. After investigation, a hunter named Xue Tongguang in Dajiao Village was very suitable for all aspects of the situation. Xue Tongguang had a daughter who was married and married in the spring of the next year, but he didn't want Miss Xue to suddenly fall ill and die three months ago. After that, Xue Tongguang Disappeared in Dajiao Village.

Ms. Xue's mother died of illness in her early years, and then her father and daughter depended on each other. Because Xue Tongguang was a foreigner, he had no land in Dajiao Village, so he had to rely on hunting and doing helpers for a living. However, Xue Tongguang was very good at hunting. Although the family is not considered rich, the father and daughter live relatively well off.

The painter invited by the Ministry of Punishment had finished painting Xue Tongguang's portrait, and was planning to send out the whole capital to arrest people after the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and the left and right servants came back.

Unexpectedly, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and the left and right servants came back with heavy faces. Everyone thought that something great happened in the court. After the left and right servants said it, they found out that Princess Huarong ran into the palace and cried to the emperor. Tang put pressure on the Minister of the Criminal Ministry to arrest the murderer and bring him to justice within ten days.

So it's easy for someone in the court to handle it, especially since Princess Huarong is the emperor's younger sister, and the third son Ye is the emperor's nephew after all, with half of the Feng family's blood, the emperor naturally wants to complain for his nephew.

But no one mentioned that poor Miss Xue!

After listening to everyone's report, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said: "Cheer up, draw a few more copies of this portrait and post it, and search for Xue Tongguang in the whole city."

The Ministry of Punishment got busy, and the capital was immediately under martial law. The patrol team and the guards at the city gate searched for Xue Tongguang all over the city.

On the Rongfu side, Hongye is reading the second letter sent by Jia Min. The Lin family has been in Qingzhou City for a month. Another half month later, after the Lin family had a basic understanding of Qingzhou, Jia Min sent people to Beijing to deliver things and letters.

Mrs. Zhang came back from her natal home with her two nieces, Zhang Ying and Zhang Li. They are married this year, but they are not engaged yet. The Zhang family and Rongfu are looking for suitable candidates. Jia Xinyao and Zhang Shuo will also return to Beijing this year. During the Chinese New Year, by the way, I will solve my daughter's lifelong affairs.

They sent the two nieces to play with their cousins, Zhang Ying and the two went directly to the west courtyard to pick up Sister Shan, and after finishing the business, Mrs. Wang had nothing to do, so she also came to chat with Grandma Rong An.

"Mother, the capital is under martial law today, and the patrols on the street are looking for tall middle-aged men one by one." Zhang said what she saw and heard on the way back just now.

"Has the Criminal Department already solved the case?" Wang asked.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "It's just about arresting people. To solve the case, you have to wait for the suspect to be caught, and the suspect will confess to the crime."

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law looked at each other, and they both sighed secretly. The children in the family must be taught well in the future. Mr. Feng Si is a living example. You must not do such a beastly thing and implicate the whole family.

Hong Ye nodded: "In a few days, the Ministry of Criminal Justice should catch someone. If the murderer is really a relative of the defiled woman, I'm afraid he doesn't want to live anymore."

If you can't catch people with such intensive arrests, then the government is really incompetent!

When Jia Amnesty came back in the evening, he talked about the identity of the suspect. Hong Ye and the others sighed for a while. Their daughter was humiliated and died.

Tat for tat, it's just that the Feng family's price is too high, and the whole family is with their lives!I don't know if the master of the Feng family and others are scolding Fourth Master Feng in the underworld?

Three days later, the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested the suspect Xue Tongguang in a dilapidated house in the city.

Jia Amnesty went to interrogate Xue Tongguang with the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Left and Right to interrogate Xue Tongguang.

Xue Tongguang had shackles on his hands, but he was fearless in the face of danger, and his face was expressionless from beginning to end.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice stared at him for a long time, and sighed: "Actually, I sympathize with what happened to you. Think about it in another way. If it were me, I would be even angrier than you."

Xue Tongguang finally raised his eyes and glanced at Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, but he still didn't speak.

"Tell me, how did you commit the crime?"

Xue Tongguang didn't say a word, but now that he was caught, the entire Ministry of Criminal Justice was not in a hurry, and he went home from get off work after dark, and told the yamen guards to keep an eye on the cell at night.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, Princess Huarong, Tian Zong, Master Chen and Second Master Chen from Duke Qi's Mansion came to the Ministry of Punishment together, wanting to meet Xue Tongguang.

Tian Zong, Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen mainly wanted to know what Xue Tongguang did to kill Mr. Tian and Mr. Chen. Princess Huarong came purely to vent her anger.

Jia Amnesty thought that the Minister of Criminal Justice would compromise, but he didn't want the Minister of Criminal Justice to say righteously: "Please go back, everyone. It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate cases. You have no right to intervene in the Ministry of Criminal Justice's handling of cases."

Tian Zong, Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen sighed a long time, knowing that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment would not give in, and also knew that what they did was to make things difficult for the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so they kept silent.

"When there is a result, the Ministry of Punishment will notify the adults and His Royal Highness the eldest princess."

The three of Tian Zong nodded, and then walked back, but Princess Huarong was not reconciled, she turned to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment with a raised eyebrow: "Pan Chengguang, do you want me to see the murderer?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said expressionlessly: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, no matter how much you mess around, I have no choice but to report to the emperor. You are out of line!"

The eldest princess Huarong was so angry that she really didn't take it seriously. If the censor knew about it, she might join her book to interfere in the government affairs. Even if she was the eldest princess, she would have enough to drink a pot. protect her.

"Pan Chengguang, you can do it! Let's wait and see!" After saying that, Princess Huarong left angrily, and the minister of the Ministry of Justice smiled at Tian Zong and the other three: "The three adults are free to go. If there is a result, we must inform the three of you."

When the few people couldn't see the figure, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice turned around and waved his hand: "What are you looking at? Work!"

Jia She gave a thumbs up: "My lord, you are really amazing!" Anyone who dares to confront Princess Huarong and achieve the position of Shangshu has a skill!

Seeing this, the others secretly scolded Jia She for being flattering, but they quickly boasted on the face: "Yes, my lord, you are really good! The officials and others are almost unable to stop, but luckily you are back, my lord. "

"Hey, don't flatter, hurry up and work!" The Minister of the Ministry of Justice turned around and entered his office, and came out after a while, and then took a few people to the prison to continue interrogating Xue Tongguang.

Jia Amnesty still went to the sidelines to see how the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment pried Xue Tongguang's mouth open.

Master Shang Shu did not use torture, perhaps because he was sympathetic to him for losing his daughter, and he had been playing the emotional card, but Xue Tongguang remained silent, and his whole person was like a statue, looking lifeless.

But Minister of the Ministry of Justice is not in a hurry, he will speak sooner or later.

Jia Amnesty was still thinking about whether Princess Huarong would sue the emperor, but he didn't want to come to the palace in the afternoon to see the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

When it was time to get off work, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice came back from the palace.The others looked gloomy again, Jia Amnesty and the others asked cautiously: "My lord, has the emperor questioned you?"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice regained his expression and shook his head: "Not really, but Princess Huarong is complaining to the emperor, and the emperor asked me about the progress."

Fortunately, the emperor still has principles. If it was like the last emperor of the previous dynasty, I'm afraid he can't afford to walk around today.It's just because it's his own family, and the emperor personally intervened, which still makes him unhappy.

Xue Tongguang explained it three days later. He looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and said first: "You are a good official, but unfortunately I didn't know you before."

Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Jia Amnesty and others were silent, and Xue Tongguang was also silent for a moment before he said: "I killed the whole family of Feng's family and an innocent girl. This is my crime. I plead guilty. It's a pity that the beast who bullied my daughter , and two more, I can't kill them myself, but Skynet is back, I will wait for them in hell!"

Next, Xue Tongguang explained how he committed the crime. The Feng family was just where he sneaked into the Feng family at night to wait for an opportunity. He had never thought of killing Feng's family, but it was the dark night, which magnified the grief and resentment in his heart. He accidentally killed a woman who woke up at night, and later, in order not to leak the news, he directly killed everyone. Most of them lost their lives in their sleep.

Before that, he stayed in Beijing for two months, observing the Feng family and the Weiyuan Hou's mansion, other mansions, he really couldn't get in, the Feng family was small, he was strong, and it was midnight, the Feng family went up and down It is easy to succeed when you are unprepared.

Later, at Mr. Tian's place, he was the one who aimed at the opportunity. He saw Mr. Tian climbed up the edge of the cliff and threw a stone beside him. Mr. Tian couldn't stand and fell off the cliff. He followed him to the bottom of the cliff first. Taking advantage of Mr. Tian's coma, he directly hugged his head and smashed it hard on the stone, it was as simple as that.

At the place of Mr. Chen, he often went to and from the mountains. He knew which plants in the mountains were poisonous and could cause animals to go wild. He refined some medicinal powder and sprinkled some powder directly on the upper air outlet. After Mr. Chen was taken away by the manic horse, He repeated the same trick, smashing the head of Mr. Chen Si, who fell from the horse and was stepped on twice by the horse, on the stone. When others found him, they panicked, and naturally they couldn't find anything abnormal.

At the place of the Third Young Master Ye, since the Ministry of Criminal Justice already has an idea, the Third Young Master Ye is extra vigilant and never leaves people around, so it is difficult for him to strike, so he had to wait until the Third Young Master Ye couldn't help running to whoring/prostitutes, and then hid there. In the prostitute's room, he stabbed the two of them to death on the bed with his usual big knife, and then wiped the knife on Young Master Ye's neck.

At that time, the prostitute yelled loudly before she died, but the guards in the yard outside thought it was the third young master playing too hard with the girl.

Xue Tongguang narrated the history of his crime word by word, as if replaying the process of committing the crime. The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment has always had an expression, and Jia Amnesty and others are also silent.

In the end, he sneered again: "These big families have always been a place where filth is hidden. When I followed the Fang family, I was taken aback by their moral depravity."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice frowned, Jia Amnesty and others were still wondering what he wanted to do, but they didn't want to say what he said next, which left everyone dumbfounded.

There were a lot of people in this cell, and with the addition of a dozen officials and more than a dozen yamen servants, everyone immediately thought of the case of the Han family that they had handled before.

Ahem, I don't know whether what Xue Tongguang said is true or not.

"We have no control over the affairs of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion." The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said indifferently, but he still made a decision in his heart. In the future, the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion must never get married.

Everyone else here thinks the same way, especially Zuo Shilang. His son is negotiating a marriage. It seems that the woman candidate that Madam said is the Fang family daughter. Go back to tell Madam at night that she must not marry the Fang family daughter. Who knows The married daughter-in-law is the daughter of some master of the Fang family.

After Xue Tongguang explained, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

This case can be sorted out, and after the trial, the case can be closed.

Therefore, the Ministry of Criminal Justice got off work very early today, and before Shen Shi, everyone was gone.

When Jia Amnesty returned to Rongfu, it was impossible not to bring up the case. So far, Hongye and the others have finally finished chasing serial novels.

As for the bad things about the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion mentioned by Xue Tongguang, Jia She also faltered and faltered to Hongye and the others. He said it very cryptically, first asking everyone if they still remember the previous case of the Han family?

It was about a cup of tea time that everyone remembered what kind of case the Han family case was.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang covered their mouths in disbelief. Although the reputation of the Weiyuanhou Mansion is not very good outside, it just means that the men in the Weiyuanhou Mansion have always been romantic and affectionate. Brothels and Chu Pavilions are their favorites, but Don't you think that the entire Weiyuan Hou Mansion has become so morally depraved?

Hongye was not surprised at all, she knew about it a long time ago, and it was Ai Cao who told her. After all, Ai Cao saw it with her own eyes in the Wuyang Building during the Dragon Boat Festival that year.

"Oh, this, it's good that you know, don't go out and talk nonsense." Then Hongye thought to herself, Zhang and Wang also have natal families. Relatives, so the news of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion will soon spread throughout the capital.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang nodded, thinking to themselves, I won't talk nonsense, but I can't hide it from my natal family. After all, Weiyuanhou's mansion is also the first-class mansion in Beijing, and everyone may have the intention of getting married in the future. Her natal family was cheated, so she couldn't hide it.

On the second day, the Ministry of Punishment sorted out the case, and the minister of the Ministry of Punishment wrote the memorial himself, and finally submitted it to the emperor through the Secretary of General Administration.The emperor returned the feedback very quickly, and returned the memorial in the afternoon of the same day.

Not surprisingly, Xue Tongguang was sentenced to death!After next autumn, ask to be cut!The second son Fang was sentenced to three years in prison and fined 3000 taels of silver.Li Ergongzi was sentenced to one year in prison as an accomplice and fined 100 taels of silver.

Naturally, the ins and outs of this case need to be posted to inform the people, so as to eliminate the panic in the hearts of the people, but it is beautified, and it is only said that a few people molested the girl and caused the girl to be divorced by her husband's family, and the girl committed suicide forcefully after being humiliated. The mindless murderer, the murderer has a purpose, so that everyone doesn't have to panic, and they can live their lives as they should.

All of a sudden, those dandies in Beijing who love to search for flowers and women suffer again. They are locked up and re-educated. Women take the initiative to post up!

However, news about the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion was secretly circulating in private. Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, while the mansions were busy, there were also extraordinarily many entertainments.

However, the Marquis of Weiyuan gradually failed to receive invitations for banquets. In the first few days, the Marquis of Weiyuan didn't notice. Quite a few, but the girl from Weiyuan Hou's Mansion didn't have a single post.

There are seven girls in the third generation of the Marquis of Weiyuan, two are married, and there are five more. They are also very keen to participate in various banquets. They have made good friends with many girls, but none of them send invitations to them. , sent someone to ask, but they couldn't even see the person who handed over the handkerchief.

Entering December like this, the incident broke out. It was the eldest girl from Weiyuan Hou's Mansion who went back to her mother's house crying and said that her husband's family was going to divorce her.

The old lady of Weiyuanhou took her daughter-in-law and grandchildren to go to Qingguogong's mansion to inquire about the crime, but Qingguogong's wife put her hands on her hips and almost yelled, "Bah, why is it that Weiyuanhou's mansion has a big girl? I know who she is! Who knows about the mess in your Weiyuanhou Mansion? I thought it was just absurd men in your family, and the women were educated and reasonable, but I didn’t think they were all rotten to the root. Do you still keep it? She let my son be ridiculed by the world?"

Old Madam Weiyuan Hou's face turned red with anger, she pointed at her mother-in-law and shouted loudly, "Mrs. Qing Guogong, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately!"

But the old lady didn't see that the faces of the sons, daughter-in-law, and grandson behind her were all blue, but Mrs. Qing Guogong saw it clearly. She pointed at the Weiyuan Hou's people triumphantly: "Old lady, You'd better go back and ask your good son, good daughter-in-law, good grandson! My son is going to divorce his wife!"

The old lady Weiyuanhou turned her head to look at her son, daughter-in-law and others. Suddenly, her eyes widened, her breathing became short of breath, and the next moment her body was tilted, and she was about to fall to the ground. looking at her.

Everyone in Weiyuan Hou's Mansion came and went in a hurry.

Mrs. Qing Guogong frowned. The rumors in Beijing were not credible, but she didn't dare to let her son bet on the possibility, so she made a bet with her son. This divorce was just a word of mouth, and a test The Marquis of Weiyuan did not want the result to be so bad.

"Did you see it now?" Mrs. Qing Guogong looked at her son beside her. Her son's face was pale, and she sighed. In fact, her daughter-in-law is very good, but...

The Rong Mansion knew about the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, and after all the aunts and aunts who married in the Weiyuan Hou Mansion were divorced or returned to their natal homes, the whole capital was immersed in this weird atmosphere.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang will be sitting in the Rong'an Hall, and they will look at each other for a moment. They did tell their natal parents or sister-in-law, but they never expected that the girl in Weiyuan Hou's mansion would be so miserable?

Seeing the attitude of the two, Hongye said, "If you don't tell me, others will know about it. The boss is not the only one in the prison of the Ministry of Justice."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng walked in with their heads drooping, especially Jia Amnesty, it was not his intention that the girl from the Marquis of Weiyuan ended up like this, just now he was looking at each other in blank dismay with the officials in the Ministry of Punishment, everyone just didn't want to let their family be wronged , and then did not want the situation to develop into such a situation.

"Okay, don't act like this. Since the men in the Marquis of Weiyuan can't control their waistbands, they don't think about their own girls. Can anyone else be blamed? They don't know that there is no impenetrable wall in this world."

Jia She nodded slightly, and Jia Zheng nodded in response, "Mother is right, son knows."

The author has something to say: It has been modified.
