The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 132. The fall of the Li family

Cuckoo looked at Jin San tremblingly, and Jin San smiled sincerely: “But I like a beautiful girl like you the most. You are obedient, and I am willing to make a whole person marriage. If you are not obedient,” Jin San’s tone turned colder: “Your little lover, but you are about to be involved.”

“I promise you.” Du Juan said anxiously. She was very hesitant when she helped Caique frame Jiang Ruan. Caique is not a family to give birth to a child, so the days when she leaves the house naturally need to be looked at. Dujuan’s family is still working on Jiangfu Zhuangzi, just because his family should not be involved in these things. Later, because the prince reluctantly agreed to this matter, he still hesitated in his heart. That day, Mrs. Jiang asked her to make tea, so she took the opportunity to stay in it for a long time. When I asked about it later, I only said that what I saw was not true, and my attitude was paradoxical.

Right now, Dujuan was relieved in her heart. Fortunately, she had kept her eyes on her back. Otherwise, she would end up like Caique. Seeing the appearance of Caique lying on the mourning hall, Dujuan couldn’t help but fight a cold war.

After Jin San and Jin Yi finished their work, they left. Ruan Juzhong’s Tian Zhu also leaped into the yard at the same moment. Bai Zhi and Forsythia Dewdrop were already waiting anxiously, and they were relieved to see Tian Zhu coming back. In the past few days, Ruan Ju’s wife has been watching outside the gate. Fortunately, Tianzhu has martial arts and can avoid those eyes and ears.

Bai Zhi asked: “Things can be done.”

Tianzhu nodded. It is not difficult for her to put arsenic in the mansion. I wanted to put some in Jiang Dan’s yard, but Jiang Ruan explained before that Jiang Dan can also be cleaned after the accident, since it cannot be taken in one fell swoop. There is no need to rush and startle the snake. Although Tian Zhu was a little unwilling, he still endured it.

Forsythia breathed a sigh of relief: “I’m just waiting for the good news from the prince tomorrow.”

One night passed, everyone had their own thoughts. Early in the morning of the next day, a team of officers and soldiers arrived in jail. The head of the officer was very strange. He was very respectful to Jiang Ruan. He only said that it was just a misunderstanding and hoped that she would not be punished.

Xiao Shao moved quickly. Jiang Ruan didn’t embarrass the officials. Fang walked to the door of the boss and saw Zhao Yuanfeng waiting for her at the door. Seeing her coming out and rushing forward, he looked her up and down, and nodded in satisfaction when he saw Jiang Ruan’s safe and sound: “He is really thoughtful.”

Jiang Ruan whispered: “Little uncle.”

Zhao Yuanfeng looked at her with a smile, and waved his hand: “Girl Ruan, since you are out today, I will show you a good show.”

Jiang Ruan smiled: “Okay.”

But it was said that early in the morning, the people in Jiang’s mansion got up early to clean up, and they heard heavy knocks from the gate of Jiang’s mansion. The guard at the door opened the door, and saw a line of officials with sabers filed in, looking fierce and wicked. The older woman hurriedly greeted her and said, “Official man, what’s the matter for no reason…”

However, the officer swung his wife aside unceremoniously: “Get out of the way, the officer is acting on orders and arresting the imperial court!”

The woman was so scared that no one in this mansion was an official except Jiang Chao and Jiang Quan, so how could she be able to qualify for the four words “the imperial court”. Did something happen to the master? The woman was chilling with fright. The officers and soldiers ignored her and went into the gate of Jiang’s Mansion to search one by one. After a short while, the second concubine was escorted out of the yard.

“Officials, wronged, did the concubine do nothing?” The second aunt still didn’t understand what had happened, and a group of officers and soldiers arrived before the news of Jiang Ruan’s accident. The leading officer was not Li Qiang, so he glared at her fiercely: “Shut up, if you have anything to say to us at the Yamen!”

The official clerk was really fierce, and the second aunt was so scared that she didn’t dare to speak any more. But he said that Jiang Quan learned the news and hurriedly led people out to inquire. He frowned when he saw the chief officer and asked, “Dare to ask what the concubine has committed?”

Originally with Jiang Quan’s rank, these officials would treat him as courtesy without saying welcome. Today it is not the case. The leader of the officers and soldiers glanced at Jiang Quan with a somewhat meaningful tone: “Master Jiang, it is better not to intervene in this matter, and be careful to cause trouble to the upper body.” After saying this, he greeted the people underneath, and left without looking back. NS.

Jiang Quan felt a chill in his heart, and the official clerk’s tone was quite meaningful. He took away the second aunt and said it was so serious, what does it mean to cause trouble to the upper body, and whether it was too trivial to bring so many people to catch the second aunt. He is also a person who has been in the officialdom for so many years, and a guess immediately popped up in his mind. Could it be that there was something wrong with the official secretary?

Besides, the second sister-in-law followed the officers and soldiers all the way to the government office, leaving two officers and soldiers looking at her, and the leader led his subordinates first. The second aunt was up and down in her heart, after thinking about it, she was cruel and pulled out two jade rings from her fingers. In order to buy Li Qiang earlier, she had sold all the jewelry. This jade ring was given to her when Jiang Quangang put her into the mansion, and he was reluctant to take it off. Now the situation is urgent, but I can’t take too much into consideration. I grabbed two jade rings and stuffed them into the hands of two officials, and said with a smile: “Official man, dare you ask why you want to arrest your concubine?”

The jade ring is of excellent quality, if it is taken out, it can be a thousand eight hundred taels. If on weekdays, these government officials rarely see such goods, they will naturally tacitly know. But today, this trick didn’t work anymore. The two government officials looked at each other and didn’t reach out to pick up the jade ring.

The second sister-in-law felt cold when she saw it, she was not afraid of asking for something, she was afraid that she would not receive it. Has the matter reached this point? What is it that even the two bureaucrats dared not accept anything?

The second sister-in-law’s expression changed, and she smiled: “Guan Ye, then… can you tell where your Li Qiang Li went?”

One of the officials gave her a surprised look: “Sir Li? Yesterday, I didn’t see any shadows for a day, and there was no one in the house. There was a change of people in the house. Even if I came back, he wouldn’t have his turn.” The second aunt said: “Don’t play tricks, save your energy and wait for the meeting to go to court.”

“What nonsense are you talking to her.” The other servant urged impatiently.

The second sister-in-law was even more shocked, and she didn’t know how long she waited, and then she heard the drum of Zhaoyuan from the outside being beaten heavily, and it seemed to hit people’s hearts with each sound.

The guilty drum is that only when there is a big case, someone will call it, and it will usually involve court officials. The second sister-in-law was taken to court when the drums stopped.

The two lines of yamen stood on both sides, but the elder on the top was not the one that the second aunt was familiar with, and he looked very uncomfortable with people. This was not what shocked the second concubine the most. On the left side of the middle seat, she was sitting with her familiar figure. Jiang Ruan’s makeup was clean and ironed, and he changed into a light blue dress. She was still as gorgeous and charming as before. At this moment, she looked at her with a smile. What was wrong?

The second sister-in-law’s heart sank, and her secret hatred really made Jiang Ruan escape. She was very unwilling to look at Jiang Ruan’s gaze immediately like a poisoned sword.

The appearance of the second sister-in-law fell in the eyes of other people in the hall, and Zhao Yuanfeng coughed slightly: “I have not figured out my identity before looking at the criminal woman, Master Ke?”

Ke Xiuran, who was sitting in the front seat, gave a shock and looked at Zhao Yuanfeng. Everyone knows that the third master of the Zhao family is an unruly temperament. He was born into a three-generation military commander of the Zhao family, but he is still capable. After offending him, I am afraid that it will be a lot more difficult in the DPRK in the future. Besides, Zhao Yuanfeng came to observe the case in person today. Isn’t he just supporting the host of Hong’an County? If you don’t sell him a favor, it will be easy to do things in the future. Thinking of this, Ke Xiuran slapped the startle and shouted, “The criminal woman in the hall, are you convicted?”

The second concubine shook her head, panicked: “What crime did the concubine commit?”

Ke Xiuran said: “Bring witnesses!”

I saw the officer escorting two maids to come forward, one with unkempt hair, and murmured: “The servant is wrong, old lady, the servant didn’t intentionally harm you, the second aunt let the servant do this, old lady, The maidservant was wrong…” She was already delirious, it was Caique.

The other person knelt down and said loudly: “In return, the slave-maid cuckoo, the slave-maid testified, it was the second aunt who bought the colorful bird to drug the old lady in order to slander the princess. The second aunt also threatened the slave-maid, if it was the slave-maid. When the truth came out, he killed the slave servant’s whole family on Zhuangzi.”

“You are talking nonsense, when did I—” the second aunt was unwilling to say.

“The second aunt gave Caique a large sum of money. If you don’t believe me, you can check Caique’s house.”

“No, this officer has already checked it.” Ke Xiuran waved his hand.

The investigator on the other side said: “Jiang Li, you are trying to kill Jiang, poisoning Jiang, not repenting, and conspiring to frame Hong’an princess. This is especially inadequate. In order to kill people, buy homicides. The evil of the heart, not hungry snakes and scorpions, its nature is vicious, like a jackal, it is tolerable or unbearable, the law of nature is clear, how can this mansion tolerate you, the law is pregnant, the murderer will die, now you are sentenced to be executed.”

As soon as the three words “Zhan Li Jue” came out, the second aunt was like a cork that had lost her heart, and she could no longer support her, she collapsed softly. She was a coward and vicious, and she didn’t even have the strength to argue. There is only one thing in the mind, and that is the matter is revealed. But when I thought that my father was the official secretary, maybe there was a way to save her, my eyes immediately brightened, and he shouted: “The lowly concubine is wronged, the lowly concubine is wronged! I beg the lord to let the lowly concubine see his father!”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly after hearing that, the second aunt wanted to rely on her mother’s family, perhaps she wanted to let Hu Qianqiu help, but it is still difficult for the Li family to protect themselves. As for Hu Qianqiu… Yushitai might not have this name in the future. People.

Ke Xiuran shot the gavel again, his eyes flashed with deep meaning, and he shouted: “Li Dexing, the guilty minister!”

The second wife was struck by lightning.

I saw that the officers and soldiers came in with a few people in prison uniforms with shackled hands. They were none other than Li Shangshu, the second concubine’s father, and his brothers.

Li Shangshu was very embarrassed all over, and apparently suffered a lot. He saw the second aunt, spit at her viciously, and cursed: “Scourge!”

The second aunt was stunned: “Father, this is…”

“Go away!” Li Shangshu was very irritable.

“Quiet!” Ke Xiuran slapped the gavel, looking very serious.

Li Shangshu gritted his teeth. If it were the usual, how could Ke Xiuran dare to treat him like this? Early this morning, the official sent a copy of Shang Shufu by order, which was unbelievable, but the news revealed by the official sent him by surprise. All those past things have been turned over, and even the past transactions that thought they were seamless have also been turned over. If nothing else, it would be a violation of the emperor’s taboo to form gangs with courtiers in private.

Li Shangshu’s life has been smooth, but he has been overshadowed by others when he doesn’t want to. Some things he can’t remember clearly, but he has also been turned up by others, and listed one by one among the pleadings of his confession in prison. Li Shangshu almost suspected that his confidant had betrayed himself.

Hu Qianqiu was also implicated in the crime, only that Hu Qianqiu had collected the money from the second concubine, and the second concubine interfered with official duties. Li Shangshu still felt strange at the time, and the other crimes were nothing but the second concubine’s affairs. The head of the cell used to have some friendship with him, and kindly reminded him: “Li Shangshu, blame your daughter. It’s not good to provoke anyone, but he provokes Hong’an Princess. The person behind Hong’an Princess is not Shang Shu. The government can afford to offend.”

Li Shangshu asked the person behind Hong’an Princess, but the cell boss refused to say, but Li Shangshu knew one thing, and it was all caused by the second concubine. In other words, the second concubine destroyed the entire Li family.

Li Shangshu now sees the second aunt and can’t wait for her to be choked to death when she was born, and the Li family’s court official was destroyed by this stupid pig-like daughter! Seeing Zhao Yuanfeng again, he was puzzled, it was possible that the person behind Hong’an Princess was the Zhao family. When Jiang Ruan was the grandson of the Zhao family, it was natural to help. But the Zhao family has always been upright and honest, and it will not be so cruel.

The case officer shook the scroll and read word by word: “Li Dexing, as a court commander, you have disregarded the law, wounded lives, embezzled and bribery, deceived the saints, and deceived the people. Contained people’s wealth, colluded with the people. , This court condemned you, beheaded and abandoned the world, and decayed with the grass and trees, for insects to eat and rat bites, flies and fruit belly, dead without burial.”

“The Li family has one room, male thieves and female prostitutes, do not cultivate morality internally, do not cultivate morality externally, lose morals, sweep the floor gracefully, and humiliate saints. This court ruled that the Li family’s children were deprived of official status, and the Li family would never be allowed to enter the official civil service.”

“No—” the second aunt called hurriedly. Why did this happen? It was because of her own incident that happened in the East Window. Why was Li Mansion also copied, and what happened to the accusations mentioned above? She raised her head to look at Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan sat firmly, with a charming smile on the corners of her lips, as if with a deep mockery, condescendingly looking down at their embarrassed state.

“It’s you…” the second aunt murmured.

“Bring Hu Qianqiu!” Ke Xiuran said again.

This time, the person detained by the officers and soldiers became Hu Qianqiu.

Hu Qianqiu was brought up, first of all staring at Ke Xiuran viciously. At the beginning, Ke Xiuran was drawn by him, and he was considered a talented person. Who knows that in recent years, he has become more and more threatening to his status. This time he fell from the horse, and Ke Xiuran must have contributed to it.

Ke Xiuran also saw Hu Qianqiu’s gaze, but he was a little proud. He shouted: “Hu Qianqiu listened to the judgment, you presumptuously acted as an official, colluded with other concubines, framed the princess, really confused, shameless as an official, deprived you of your imperial background, demoted to a commoner, and will never be an official.”

Ke Xiuran’s heart was blocked. Although he knew that his official position was definitely not guaranteed, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood when he heard the words “I will never be an official”.

“Qianqiu!” The second aunt panicked and climbed to Hu Qianqiu’s side.

“Go away!” Hu Qianqiu didn’t have the affectionate appearance of the past, and took her away with a palm, looking at her as if looking at an enemy: “Bitch!”

If it weren’t for her, how could his dignified Yushitai press court be reduced to where it is now? I originally wanted to use her to climb the star-point relationship with Jiang’s Mansion. Let him?

The second sister-in-law looked at Hu Qianqiu blankly, like a stranger, she didn’t understand why everything changed overnight. The Li family has fallen to this point, Hu Qianqiu’s official position is not guaranteed, and they all hate her. Did she make them like this?

Jiang Ruan sat in the hall with a smile, as if nothing could shake her calmness and calmness. She was like a demon wandering outside the red dust, looking down on everyone struggling indifferently and mockingly.

Feeling Er Yi Niang’s gaze, Jiang Ruan turned his head, those clear and clear eyes clearly showed no emotions, but Er Yi Niang understood. She is saying: I am willing to bet.

She wished to lose the gambling, and the second aunt gave a sorrowful laugh. The laughter became louder and louder, and everyone at the scene couldn’t help but frown. The second sister-in-law was still smiling, her smile full of tears.

She looked at Jiang Ruan: “Miss, you are cruel! I can’t fight you, and I can’t fight dying.”

Jiang Ruan didn’t speak, and the second aunt smiled miserably. It was her fault. She took the blame. She destroyed her family and childhood sweethearts and killed her own daughter in the doctor’s house. She was inferior in skill and was provoked by others. She was so stupid that she finally let the whole Shangshufu be buried with her. !

However, if she is wrong, are others not wrong?

As a concubine, there is no way to decide her beloved, and she can only be given to another person by her father like a gift. There is a main room above the mansion, and there are other concubines vying for favor. The only daughter can only hold the status of a concubine forever like her! However, she wanted her daughter to live better. She struggled hard to win other people’s marriage, but in the end she took the retribution on her daughter. Wanting to die with the culprit, but in the end caught up with the whole Li family.

At the moment, she has finally become a sinner hated by adults. She was wrong, but that was also forced!

The second aunt broke down to grab her hair. Her long hair that was always in a delicate bun was pulled apart by her like this. She was unkempt and looked like a lunatic, where is the original shrewd and beautiful appearance? She stroked her long hair idiotically, her eyes were a little lost, and she whispered: “Don’t be afraid, Lier, mother will take you home.”

The look is already chaotic and clear.

There were also those who couldn’t help but sighed in their hearts. Hu Qianqiu and Li Shangshu were even more disgusted when they saw it. Zhao Yuanfeng looked at Jiang Ruan’s expression subconsciously, thinking that he could find other emotions on her face, but saw Jiang Ruan’s expression indifferent, although the corners of his lips were smiling, there was not even a trace of extra emotion in his eyes. It seemed that all the things in the world couldn’t move her.

Zhao Yuanfeng sighed in his heart. Seeing her appearance, what happened today is not completely unknowing. Perhaps there is something from her own niece. I had known that Jiang Ruan’s heart was like a rock, but such indifference was really shocking. The other girl’s girl is now at the age of a flower, laughing and making noise every day, but her niece is calm all day long, just like…like an old woman who has lived for many years. Zhao Yuanfeng shook her head, wondering if she could meet someone in the future and open her heart.
