Chapter 122 Commitment
Cui Wei looked at his mother in a daze, wondering why her mother interrupted him.
Mrs. Lin's eyebrows and eyes froze slightly, as if she felt something was wrong, but soon she looked solemn, with a bit of the power of an elder, and raised her voice to scold Cui Wei: "Shut up, let me hear what your elder brother said." Although she was scolding, she held Cui Wei's hand tightly and didn't let go.
Seeing Mrs. Lin like this, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but be surprised. The clan sister seemed to scold Cui Wei, but in fact she was afraid that Cui Wei would also fall into this matter? When did the clan sister start to be so partial? She remembered that when Brother Zhen was a child, the clan sister valued the eldest son very much.
Mrs. Lin subconsciously looked at Cui Zhen. Cui Zhen's eyes were drooping and could not see the joys and angers, as if she had been used to everything in front of her. The relationship between mother and son was different from what she remembered. When did it start to change?
Cui Wei didn't know what he should say for a moment, but just looked at Cui Zhen: "Brother, this matter can be slowed down again and again."
Cui Wei's face was full of anxiety and his eyes were earnest.
Cui Zhen looked straight at Zhao Gongren with a blank expression: "My aunt came to Taiyuan Mansion and said she was to find out the news. In fact, she wanted to threaten me with this matter and let me rescue Mr. Zhao Er?"
Zhao Gongren pursed his lips tightly without answering.
Cui Zhen continued: "To remind me of Shanyin, you have taken great pains to lead my mother from the capital to Taiyuan Prefecture, and then ordered the fake Taoist priest to blow up the ancestral tomb of the Cui family and dig out the coffin of the Cui family's ancestors. I did a bad thing in Shanyin digging graves. Seeing that my ancestral tomb is like this, I will definitely have a dark ghost. As long as I investigate it a little, I will know that this matter is closely related to the war horse case. It is not difficult to think that someone secretly threatened me not to interfere in the war horse case.
Once the war horse case is investigated, I will not have a good result. According to your thinking, I should try every means to stop the investigation of the case, but the matter is not as you wish. Since secretly threatening is useless, someone should make it clear. It is most suitable for Mr. Zhao Er to be this person. Mr. Zhao Er has a relationship with me, and he can both speak well and break the blame with me.
When Mr. Zhao Er mentioned the Shanyin incident to me, I would definitely get angry. At that time, my aunt would reconcile it. In this way, even if you successfully pulled me onto the boat, I could only find ways to help the Zhao family escape. So my aunt refused to enter the city when she arrived near Taiyuan Prefecture, just waiting for news from Mr. Zhao Er.
You have made great plans, but unexpectedly, Wei Yuanchen caught Han Yu and continued to investigate with Han Yu. I am afraid that they will soon come to Wang Daochang and Zhao families. You have to put aside your original plans and change the response method again, and introduce Wang Daochang and Zhao families to take the blame. Master Zhao's second master died, and my aunt can get what she wants. Since that's the case, why pretend to be sad in front of me?"
"I didn't," Zhao Gongren couldn't help it, "How could I kill my brother? I thought he could escape..."
"Where can Master Zhao Er escape? All over the world is the king's land," Cui Zhen looked at Zhao Gongren, "Unless someone releases him from the Great Zhou Dynasty, where will Master Zhao Er be leaving?"
Cui Zhen's words were very clear. Lin Si was really in the Guard of Suzhou. As long as Lin Si really opened the pass, Mr. Zhao Er could naturally get out.
Zhao Gongren raised his red eyes: "Mr. Marquis is slandering people. He obviously has done something wrong, but he still has to involve others."
"Then my aunt told me who told me about Shanyin?" Cui Zhen said, "I was very careful that day and only brought my close-fitting guards to me. Who was around me who revealed the news?"
Gu Mingzhu walked out of the stepping bed and quietly returned to the original little mat and sat down. When she heard Cui Zhen's words, she immediately looked at Cui Wei.
Cui Zhen went to Shanyin to do business, and in addition to bringing his personal guards, there should be Cui Wei? He doesn't mention Cui Wei now, but he wants to protect Cui Wei?
Zhao Gongren didn't say anything, but just pinched his hand tightly.
"Can't my aunt say it?" Cui Zhen said, "The Shanyin incident was a trap from the beginning. When did my aunt know about it when she wanted to hold my handle and pull me into the water? When did she start to plan a long time ago?
So like Master Zhao Er, I am a chess piece in my aunt's hand. It would be fine if my aunt took advantage of me, but she was not at all soft-hearted in attacking her brothers."
"I don't," Zhao Gongren said in a panic again, "I don't know, I don't know anything."
"How can you do this?"
Mrs. Lin suddenly spoke, her face full of shock and resentment: "Brother Zhen is your nephew, how can you harm him like this? Wei Yuanchen found out that Zhao family, what does it have to do with Brother Zhen? Why do you use those words to threaten Brother Zhen now?
We are a family when we are closed. How can we make trouble outside in the family? Don’t mention what you said again. Everyone will do it in the future and don’t have such a thing again.”
After saying that, Mrs. Lin looked at Cui Zhen again: "And you, you don't even take the laws of the court seriously, but you are worthy of the ancestors of the Cui family? Will the Cui family's foundation be destroyed in your hands for many years?"
Mrs. Lin was excited, and her previous depressed state was swept away. Finally, she felt proud in front of Cui Zhen: "After you inherited the title, you are the nobles of the court and the face of my Cui family. I, a mother, never taught you a lesson. I thought you were in a proper position in everything, but I didn't expect that you made such a mistake. What should I do now?"
Mrs. Lin said and looked at Mrs. Lin: "Now, the whole family of Gu family still needs to cover up your favor. How should you repay this kindness?"
Before Cui Zhen could speak, Mrs. Lin ordered the manager to say, "Go to the family law. Even if you are an important minister of the court, I, a mother, can teach you a lesson."
As soon as Mrs. Lin finished speaking, Cui Wei knelt down: "Don't rest assured, don't blame the elder brother. The elder brother has no selfishness and is just for the sake of the Great Zhou."
Mrs. Lin kicked Cui Wei: "Get out of here, there is no business for you. Is it easy for the Cui family to have this title? How did he promise me back then? He should put the Cui family first, so he did it? He thought about how he would keep Cui when he was digging graves and robbing tombs. If the truth was revealed, how would he keep Cui?"
"My son had already thought that if the incident happened, his son would go to take the crime," Cui Zhen's deep voice sounded, "Cui Wei knew nothing about this. The court seized my title and would let Cui Wei inherit it. So my mother did not need to use family rules. I am worthy of the Cui family. Only the court has the right to punish this matter."
When Mrs. Lin heard this, her face turned red and white, and her expression was complicated and difficult to tell. Obviously, she didn't expect Cui Zhen to say this.
Mrs. Lin was even more surprised that the clan sister and Cui Zhen had reached this point.
Cui Wei was also stunned: "What are the elder brother saying? It's not the elder brother's turn to be punished. Over the years, Cui is supported by the elder brother. If the elder brother gets into trouble, Cui will be finished. You must not say such words anymore... My mother is right, we are a family when we close the door.
I hope everyone will not spread everything that I mentioned just now.”
After Cui Wei said that, he found that Cui Zhen did not respond, so he walked a few steps in front of Cui Zhen: "Brother, don't think about others, and you should also think about the soldiers in Datong. If something happens to the brother, those soldiers will be implicated. Maybe someone will take the opportunity to change military power, and many people will not be reused from now on. How innocent are they? Brother cannot think about this step... We can sit down and discuss this matter slowly."
Cui Zhen stood up and was about to speak, but he heard a scream, and Zhao Gongren, who was stepping on the bed, fell from it.
"Kongren, Gongren," exclaimed the manager's mother, "Come on... Ask a doctor, Gongren's wound is bleeding again."
Mrs. Lin said in surprise: "What should I do?"
The manager's mother called the servants outside the house in, and then everyone carried Zhao Gongren back to the bed with all their might.
"Kung Ren fainted." The manager's mother exclaimed again.
The doctor was invited into the inner room again.
Mrs. Lin ordered: "Everyone will go out and wait so that the doctor can carefully diagnose and treat it."
Sitting down in the outside room, everyone was silent.
I don't know who can break this tranquility.
"Miss Gu, where did you get the things in your hand?"
The manager exclaimed, and everyone looked at Gu Mingzhu. I don’t know when Gu Mingzhu had a white jade flower hairpin in her hand.
The mother next to Zhao Gongren walked over quickly: "This kind of jade hairpin is very expensive, and it's over if it falls on the ground."
Mrs. Lin was upset at this moment and frowned when she heard this: "How frightened are you just a hairpin?"
The Zhao family's mother saluted Mrs. Lin. She didn't care about ordinary things when this happened, but this jade hairpin...
The Zhao family manager's mother said, "This jade hairpin was taken by Gongren during his birthday at the beginning of this year. Gongren liked him very much on weekdays. Gongren is so pretty now. I am afraid that Gongren will hurt Gongren's heart again."
Instead of handing the hairpin to the manager's mother, Gu Mingzhu jumped out of the chair and ran around the room with the hairpin.
"Zhuzhu..."
Everyone's eyes fell on the white jade flower hairpin.
Finally, Mrs. Lin spoke, and Gu Mingzhu stopped and handed over the white jade hairpin in her hand. Now everyone should have seen the hairpin clearly. When the court came to ask, Zhao Gongren had no way to deny it.
The manager's mother said in front of everyone that the flower hairpin was written by Lin Simashima and would become a testimony in the future.
This kind of close-fitting thing is logically not to be fooled by the mother in charge, otherwise it will easily reveal her legs.
If Lin Sizhen really gave it to his wife, Wang Daochang gave it to the woman living in Dongda Lane.
Is that woman really related to Lin Si?
Gu Mingzhu looked into the inner room and heard the voice of the manager's mother calling Zhao Gongren. Then she looked at Lin Runzhi who was huddling there, and a feeling of unspeakableness slowly arose in her heart.
Perhaps... the objects that Zhao Gongren cherishes are just the remains of others. After this matter is revealed, I wonder what Zhao Gongren would think?
Cui Zhen looked at Mrs. Lin: "I will send my aunt and cousin back to Gu's house first, and I want to say something to my aunt."
Gu Mingzhu got up from the chair. She wanted to know whether Cui Zhen was going to convince her mother to forget what happened today? Or was she thinking about it? This is very important for the subsequent cases.
