Chapter 507 Children and Mothers? Human tragedy

In February of the seventh year of Yuanqing, there are three major events that made the whole Jingyangjing discuss--

The restoration of the imperial examination system by the emperor's edict was restored and innovated. The first attempt was made under the expectation of the public. The first children's examination of the Dalong Dynasty was successfully held. It is said that more than 200,000 students from all over the country signed up to participate.

Deng, the fourth imperial concubine, gave birth to a daughter. Today, the emperor is finally looking forward to the birth of his grandchildren eight years after succeeding the throne. Longyan was overjoyed and made an exception to be awarded the title of Princess Longqing and Xiangzhou and Baoqing as his fiefdom. The ordinary people were lucky, but the nobles quietly talked about it. There are conceited people with keen sense of smell, such as Qin Xiang and his party members think that they were saints. The signs of "referred hope" for the fourth prince are more pleasing than others, but their words and deeds are more cautious.

The third is the anecdotal event that makes the people of Kyoto gather lawsuits and especially care about it. Whether it is nobles or cloth clothes, feast parties or market encounters, they will have no scolded to argue, laugh and curse without hesitation - the case of Xie's brothers killing their mother, and the family plotting to frame the clan to blackmail money.

Most of the idle people gathered in major teahouses and restaurants start with the topic of "have you heard...", either whispering or talking loudly, and finally attract nothing more than a loud smile.

No matter what the creepy version is, there is only one truth. There is no doubt that the Xie brothers murdered their mother. What is confusing is the reason and the details of the murder.

"It is said that Nian's is vicious and violent. It's not that I talked nonsense. On the day she was killed, she went to the King of Chu's Mansion and made a big scene. What is the family of the King of Chu's Mansion? The prince and the son are both believers of the emperor, but they have both military power and are involved in the government. That year, the family dared to curse in front of the king of Chu's mansion. I witnessed it with my own eyes! If it hadn't been for the disturbance, the Xie family's father and son would not have blamed the concubine and killed the elders.

"You still don't know why Nian made trouble? It's not for her son-in-law. Although Xie Santai has been deprived of his official position for a long time, he is a white body. At least he is also a son of a famous family. That Xie Qi... Hey, he actually learned from the scam of market scoundrels to jump with immortals. Unfortunately, Xie Jin, the hegem of the Duke of Zhen, was corrupted into a laughingstock by these few descendants. . In order to save Xie Qi from prison, he also tried to protect the hostage of his grandson's prison. Not only did he plead well. After being rejected, he was angry and wanted to beat people fiercely. After all, the King of Chu's Mansion thought that his relatives had not been investigated, and he had invited people out. The old lady still did not restrain her and blocked him in front of the door and shouted and scolded.

- Talking about this man wearing a silk dress and a gold crown on his head. At first glance, he was an aristocratic class, and his words were also reasonable and well-founded, which aroused the conviction of many people.

Listening to him continue to say, "This year, Shi is fierce, and he is usually very harsh on the concubine. It is the concubine who killed Xing Er. It is said that he smashed Nian's temple and watched her bleed to death coldly, which shows his hatred in his heart."

Some people questioned: "Didn't Nian have two legitimate sons? Why don't you investigate the heinous crime of the concubine? The mother-slaying is unforgivable!"

The discussion suddenly exploded, drowning out the man's words: "The whole family, young and old want to cover up the crime. It is by no means as simple as the concubine's son's mother-in-law. I heard that it was the hand of the direct son. Mr. Xie tried to incrim and blackmail him because he indulged his desire to protect his son and was difficult to fill."

"It doesn't seem so simple. How can I hear that the person who actually killed the murder is Mr. Xie? I guess he has been suppressed by the Nian family for most of his life. No matter how hard it is, the descendants will cover up for him."

"This is reliable. Although Mr. Xie is old, he is still a regular customer of Yihong Street. I heard that there are hundreds of beautiful maidservant in his yard, and he is the most romantic. The old man has long been disgusted by the old man."

"That's not right. If Nian is really so fierce, can you allow Mr. Xie to hug the flowers and the world?"

"Hey, I'm nearly 70 years old. How can I satisfy Mr. Xie? Besides, when this woman is old, she doesn't pay attention to the waist of men's trousers, but to the financial power in her hand."

The topic is gradually crooked.

There are more creepy speculations--

"It is said that the four sons were dissatisfied with the arbitrary behavior and joined hands to do evil deeds."

"I heard that in fact, the Nian family is infertile, and their children themselves are commoners. In order to hide people's ears and eyes, they recorded some of their own upbringing. These people's biological mothers have been poisoned by the Nian family. How can they not hate them?"

"This is unreliable. If Nian is really fierce to his descendants, how can he run for Xie Qi? What I heard is the truth..." Someone pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice, which immediately attracted a bunch of brains and gathered densely: "This year, in fact, I don't keep the woman's way. How can she stand loneliness while Mrs. Xie is alone in the empty boudoir? The two legitimate sons are not the seed of Mr. Xie. I don't know how to know the truth. It's a shame to keep the integrity of Nian's bloodline.

In a word, most of the rumors are unbearable. Some have scolded the Xie brothers for being rebellious and unfilial, and some have questioned the unkindness of Nian himself.

Mr. Xie's family were all white. On that day, they were directly imprisoned in shackles by Shuntianfu. Only because the case was related to Xun Gui, he still had some face and did not have a public trial. However, the more mysterious the official office was, the more disturbing the rumors were. There were obvious fatal injuries on Nian's body. Of course, he would not be angry to death. The third master and several sons could not justify themselves. At first, they argued that Nian was beaten and seriously injured by the people of the royal palace, but on that day, Nian splashed the scene and witnessed a lot of evidence. The third uncle's family was obviously empty.

As soon as the Yin of Shuntianfu used the punishment, someone confessed, and there was also the testimony of the steward around the Nian clan. The evidence of the crime was conclusive, and the case was concluded very quickly, but the people involved in the case had not been sentenced for a while.

To know the truth, you still have to listen to the words of the prince and his wife when they returned to the pavilion in the front court of Guan Suiyuan on the same day to enjoy tea and plums.

Although it was cloudy and rainy in February this year, the rain was not fierce. When a plum forest in Guan Suiyuan was not withered, there were still new buds waiting to bloom on the branches. Looking down from high, it was the wind and rain that could not stop blowing, and the old red embraced the new white.

Yu's mood was not affected by a farce. He opened his posture and showed the unique skill of "dividing tea". The peak blade cliff on the Wujin soup noodles jumped out, and the white smoke surrounded and rose, making the blade wall vivid and real.

The tea cup moved gently, and the soup noodles rip off, but it did not destroy the water outlined by the soup.

The beautiful scenery appreciated that the color of the jade flowers in the soup was fading, and the foam was sinking. Then he raised the cup, and the corners of his eyes rose slightly, and he nodded admiring with admiration: "I haven't seen you have such leisure for a long time."

"Today is the right time to comfort the world's concubine. It is not difficult to guess that Xie Mansion in another city has my ears and eyes. It is clever to inform Mrs. Xie in time, and her family in time... It can accurately analyze people's hearts and see through the greed and viciousness of the Third Master's family. The second aunt didn't want to calm down, and let them stump into the royal palace to play tricks, so that I won a big victory on that side. The son of the world also smiled at the corners of his lips.

"It's nothing. I always have a way to stop them from rushing back to put out the fire. If I have to, I have to use more power, but the son of the world. The arrangement is very useful, which is the key to establishing the victory. Otherwise, it is not easy to inexplicably inspect the bodies of the three old ladies." The scenery complimented back again.

"Even if I didn't arrive in time, Mrs. Xie saw something strange." Yu Yu shook her head: "She and several cousins of the Duke's mansion came to the door of Xie's house and closed the door for a long time. They didn't see Zhang Fan hanging white outside. They all suspected that the rumors were wrong. The three old ladies did not die."

In fact, the servants knocked on the door for a long time and had not responded. The second old man who accompanied him couldn't help knocking the door in person and threatened that no one should break in, so a little man opened the door tremblingly to welcome him. The second old man's eyes were sharp and saw someone in the corner of the corridor. It was the third master who was the third master. The grandson of the second.

Isn't it suspicious that the grandmother passed away and the people of the clan, as the younger generation and their masters, did not open the door to welcome them, but shrank their heads and peeping?

Mrs Xie was still sitting in the car. Hearing the second master scolding angrily, she couldn't help but be suspicious.

When I went to the inner house, I only saw a few girls who had not yet done it, all of them looked panicked.

The main courtyard where Nian lived was silent, and the white flag hung up, but there was no human figure.

According to etiquette, the coffin entered the coffin three days after death, so at this time, although she had a small coffin, she was still in the bedroom where she lived in the previous day and did not move to the hall.

The Nian clan is an elder, and Mrs. Xie and others naturally have to cry, but those Nian's granddaughters are timid and dare not go forward.

In the tent, Nian's body was covered with brocade. Mrs. Xie actually saw her wearing a crown on her head, but her forehead was surrounded by a green ink mink rat Zhaojun.

Although the noble woman had to be corisonated when she passed away, and there were even Feng Guanxia. Because the third master was stripped of the false seal, there was no order on her body. It is in line with etiquette to wear a corolla, but isn't it suspicious to surround Zhaojun again?

The world knows that Zhaojun's hair is exposed. How can anyone wear a crown and forehead bib?

Mrs. Xie was more suspicious. At another glance, she saw that Nian's face was very ferocious, and there was a coolness on her back. She only cared about crying and dared not take a closer look.

Please go out of the hall and sit down, and then the servant woman will serve tea. Mrs. Xie only feels that she is alive at a glance, except that Nian's wife Zhan's mother is a familiar face.

Speaking of the story, Zhan's mother's face was full of grief, and it was still the same cliché of "heartache", "I couldn't eat last night" and "I didn't see people in the middle of the night, only said that I couldn't sleep well".

Mrs Xie couldn't find anything strange, but she always felt that she was not down-to-earth and asked other servants.

Those people looked at each other in con's face.

Zhan's mother was anxious and had to admit that these were not served in the Nian's room and were transferred from elsewhere today.

That is to say, only Zhan's mother stayed here.

Mrs Xie feels more and more weird.

It took a long time for another woman to panic and report that someone from the Nian family had come, and the porter did not dare to let them in.

Zhan's mother's face turned white, and she kept stealing Mrs. Xie's face, but she met Mrs. Xie's questioning eyes.

"Nian's family is the mother's family of the third aunt. How can she refuse to refuse?" Mrs. Xie asked solemnly.

Zhan's mother's knees trembled, and it was easy to give an explanation: "The master and several masters and wives are not at home. Before leaving, I told them to be fully prepared, and it is not easy to welcome condolences... There are only a few little men and little women at home, and I'm afraid that they can't make the decision..."

Mrs Xie frowned. It was not easy to blame the absurd behavior of the third master who led the family to the royal palace to make trouble despite the funeral, but made the decision and pointed to arrange the mourning sheds, let Mrs. Zhan gather the servants in the house, arrange trivial affairs to the stewellers, and let the servants perform their duties, which is in line with etiquette.

In this way, the silent Xie Fu became busy and looked a little like handling funerals.

The family came to the nephews of the three old ladies. Naturally, the man was in the front yard, and the women came in to cry.

Mrs Xie finally didn't see the acquaintances that Nian used to serve.

Naturally, after the prince arrived, Mrs. Xie went to the front yard and privately informed the son with the convenience of decorating the mourning hall.

"Isn't your eyes and ears arranged by Zhan's mother?" Ying asked at this time.

"Zhan is the companion room of the three old ladies. She is the most loyal and difficult to buy. Of course, I won't think about her, but the person she married is a domestic slave of the Duke of Zhenguo. She has a sister-law who loves to be greedy for small profits and is very easy to be coveted." Yu Yu smiled and said, "After the third master split up, Yang was instructed to follow him and begged to wait on him. As the mother of the inner warehouse steward, she was also very important and plotted to be fat. She had the intention to stay close to Zhan, and Zhan didn't tell her anything."

The son talked about it.

It turned out that the Yang family also freaked when they heard that Nian was "lived and died" early in the morning. When they were about to hand over the news, they heard that the third master ordered the door to close the door and close the house to be under martial law, and the servants were not allowed to go out. Even the Fushou Hall where Nian lived was not allowed to enter or out. The Yang family wanted to ask Zhan, but he couldn't find a way.

For good, when Mrs. Xie came, she was caught off guard by a group of headless granddaughters like flies. They watched their eldest aunt give orders and disturb their grandfather's arrangement, but they did not dare to stop it.

In addition to the very tough eldest granddaughter staring and retorted, "Grandma, this is a dog with a mouse. How can you be the master of my family?" However, Mrs. Xie raised her air and scolded her back. Sister Xie's eldest cousin was alone, and although she was anxious, she was helpless.

Only then did Yang have a chance to approach Zhan, but she saw that her face was trembling. After questioning, Zhan, who was at a loss, was frank to her sister-in-law.

The truth is creepy!
