In Mrs. Xu's room, An Yihou stood nervously beside the bed.
The doctor came forward, checked his pulse, and prescribed a prescription for the kitchen to boil.
Mrs. An Yihou served Mrs. Xu and drank some water before saying, "There must be too many things going on at home these past two days, and my mother has spent too much energy on this."
Mrs. Xu waved her hand: "I'm fine, you are all making a fuss," she said, looking at An Yihou, "You have to keep a close eye on the Tan family's affairs. Alas, I just dreamed about it..."
Mrs. Xu did not continue. She saw Xu Qinghuan and Xu Qing'an and said, "Why are the children already so troubled? You two are so young, go back and rest quickly. If you continue like this, your bodies will be exhausted."
Xu Qing'an and Xu Qinghuan were unwilling to leave. In the end, Mrs. Xu put a serious face and ordered her mother in charge to drive everyone away. Mrs. Anyi then pulled Xu Qing'an and Xu Qinghuan out: "Don't make your grandmother angry, your father and I are here."
Just serve here."
Everyone in the room retreated. An Yihou sat by the bed and took care of Mrs. Xu: "Why does mother still feel uncomfortable?"
Mrs. Xu said: "It's okay. I just heard about the Tan family and felt a little uneasy."
An Yihou knew that his mother thought of the rebellion that year because Mrs. Tan mentioned Nie Rong.
Marquis Anyi comforted him and said, "Don't worry, mother, nothing big will happen."
"You promised me that you would never pursue a rebellion case again in the future," Mrs. Xu looked at her son, "What happened in the Hou Mansion that day will never happen again."
An Yihou lowered his eyes: "Mother, my son has promised that he will not pursue the rebellion case back then. He just can't watch the Zhang family do whatever he wants."
Mrs. Xu was silent for a while and then said: "Do you still remember that the Queen Mother holds evidence in her hands, and if you make the slightest move, the entire Xu family will be killed."
An Yihou said: "My son knows that, so he has stayed away from the court these years and refused to let Brother An join the officialdom. Brother An has been fooling around outside all day long, so the Queen Mother and the Zhang family will feel relieved."
Mrs. Xu shook her head: "But you still didn't give up. You... I gave birth to a son like you. I really don't know whether I should be happy or sad."
An Yihou knelt down and knocked his head on the ground: "It's because of my son's fault that I'm worrying my mother."
Mrs. Xu closed her eyes: "The King of Wei's family is gone, why do you want to risk the lives of all of us in the Xu family? Others seek wealth and honor, but now I just want you to be safe so that I can go see your father, son.
Ah, don't worry about these things, we can't control them either. The late emperor said that as long as you serve the court wholeheartedly, the affairs of the past will be wiped out. You must remember this sentence."
…
Xu Qinghuan returned to the house and sat down. Since his father suspected that there was something behind the rebellion of King Wei, why did he lead troops to put down the rebellion? His father would never do this for his own future, let alone care about his own safety. Maybe it was because of the whole situation.
Xu's life is threatened...
What happened that year?
Nie Rong's case was suddenly revealed, and it seemed that the rebellion back then was about to come to light. Did everything really start with Jiang Zhiyi's revenge, or was there someone else who had other plans behind his back?
If Jiang Zhiyi really wanted to avenge Nie Rong and his wife, why did he choose the two pawns of the Sun family and the Yan family instead of the Zhang family?
…
In the Shuntian Mansion prison, Huang Qinghe looked at Jiang Zhiyi: "Now that the Tan family has told the truth, what do you have to say?"
Jiang Zhiyi started to hear Huang Qinghe mentioning the Tan family, and her eyes moved slightly, but soon they dropped again: "Since you already know everything, why bother to interrogate me again."
Huang Qinghe frowned: "Then you are willing to plead guilty? In that case, tell me how you committed the murder and what your intention was."
When Jiang Zhiyi heard this, he suddenly smiled, like a flower that had just bloomed: "Would you believe it if I said I didn't kill anyone? I didn't do anything. I didn't kill those people, although I really wanted them all to go.
die."
Huang Qinghe said nothing.
Jiang Zhiyi said: "Look, you don't believe it. You think that no matter what, these things are related to me. If I say that the Tan family is all lying, Mr. Huang will also think that I am framed by others."
Huang Qinghe said: "I didn't tell you what the Tan family said. How could you come to this conclusion?"
Jiang Zhiyi raised his face: "Because he is just a beast. How can a beast tell the truth? If I say that Tan Guangyao once raped me and imprisoned me, and I finally escaped from Changzhou, your Excellency will do it for me."
Call the shots?"
Huang Qinghe obviously didn't expect Jiang Zhiyi to say such words.
Jiang Zhiyi said: "Your Excellency, you are right. There are indeed blood stains at the door of the Taoist temple, but that is not because we killed someone. I heard that someone found the body, and seeing such a situation, I knew that someone wanted to take this matter to trial.
If the blood stains were left on us, we would be unable to argue, so we hurriedly washed away the blood stains, but in the end, the adults saw something fishy."
Huang Qinghe pondered without speaking.
Jiang Zhiyi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Look, even adults won't believe what I'm telling the truth."
Huang Qinghe said: "Wei Guangyao was almost killed tonight. Do you know who wanted to kill him?"
Jiang Zhiyi said sarcastically: "A civilian girl has always been in prison, how could she know this?" When she said this, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes darkened.
Huang Qinghe stood up: "No matter who he is, he will be caught and brought to justice soon. Maybe you won't need to say anything by then, and everything will be clear."
After Huang Qinghe finished speaking, he was ready to leave.
"Sir," Jiang Zhiyi suddenly became anxious, "Who is the murderer you are talking about? Can you tell me?"
Huang Qinghe said: "Unless you tell the truth."
Jiang Zhiyi stood there stunned, and it wasn't until Huang Qinghe walked out that a female servant came forward.
The female servant's voice was cold: "Come with me and I will examine you as ordered by the Lord."
Jiang Zhiyi came to his senses after a while and followed the female servant forward.
Huang Qinghe had been waiting in the guard room. Less than half an hour later, the female servant came in and reported: "The Jiang family has been disfigured and there are no other wounds on his body. We can see clearly in the prison that no one came to trouble Jiang."
"
Huang Qinghe ordered the maid to go down, and a moment later Mrs. Chang walked in and presented the document in her hand: "Jiang has some old scars on her hands and feet, but it's hard to tell the cause of the injury now." Other than that, it was normal.
The female slaves experience no difference.
When Mrs. Chang retreated, Huang Qing and the staff beside him whispered: "Why do you want the servant girl and Mrs. Chang to go to Jiang's body examination separately?"
Huang Qinghe said: "Ms. Chang is from the Anyi Marquis Mansion. The female slaves are in the prison all year round and let two people check it together. In this way, if someone is hiding something and lying, I will be able to see the clues."
Now it seems that their test results are all true and no one is lying.
Could it be that his suspicion was wrong? Jiang Zhiyi was the mastermind of the case and Tan Er was an accomplice. So what would Tan Er do next?
…
Enter the Zhang family's village.
Before dawn, someone walked into the servants' room and told everyone to get up: "Hurry up and go wait on me. Mrs. Sun Er has already gotten up."
"It's so early," the servant yawned, "When will this kind of life end?"
Mrs. Sun Er has been tormenting them in different ways since she came to Zhuangzi, and she doesn't know what to do today.
"Mrs. Sun Er is going out to the Taoist temple to ask for talismans. Hurry up and don't miss her, otherwise everyone will be punished."
