The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 225 The matter of the court, the assassination in the past
Chapter 225 The matter of the court, the assassination in the past
After Yang Yufan's health improved, Yun Xi originally thought that Mrs. Yang and Li would go straight to Du Yiming, but she never made a move.Originally, she was a little disappointed that Mrs. Yang and Li were also the kind of people who swallowed their anger, but who would have expected that if the other party didn't sing, the whole capital would be shocked.
Doting on concubines and destroying wives is also a kind of people not suing officials.Naturally, there are some families in the capital who dote on their concubines and kill their wives, but those main wives basically choose to remain silent, either for the sake of face and reputation, or because of their cowardly character, and few of them will actually go to sue.
When Yun Xi received the news, she was so surprised that she dropped the teacup in her hand.It can only be said that the child is really the mother's rebel. For the sake of her child, a gentle person like Yang Li is willing to go to court to sue her husband, even if her lawsuit may make her husband lose his job , was demoted.
As one of the defendants, once the Zhao family is convicted of murdering his son-in-law, the only thing waiting for her is hanging.
When Li Qiu came to tell the news, Yang Yurong was beside Yun Xi.After she heard the news, she unconsciously clenched her skirt tightly and pulled out the wrinkles, "Sister Yunxi, I want to go to the yamen to see my mother."
No matter what, she will stand on the same front as her mother.What her father did really disappointed her.She didn't understand why her loving father, who was originally loving, would become like this after Mrs. Zhao became pregnant.
Yun Xi nodded. She also wanted to see what happened to Du Yiming.
The two of them were about to go to the yamen together, but Yun Liu came. He coughed, obviously he wanted to say something.
Yun Xi moved slightly, and said to Yu Rong: "Go and wash up first, and when I take you there later, you must not let your mother see that you are unkempt and think that I have treated you badly."
Yang Yurong, who was originally in a bad mood, couldn't help laughing, "I'm not as exaggerated as my sister you said." She touched her face worriedly, "Then I'd better go wash my face."
Looking at Yang Yurong's back, Yun Xi felt that this younger sister was really easy to coax.
Fortunately, although her father is a scumbag, her younger sister is still a good younger sister.
After Yang Yurong left, Yun Liu said, "We have already found out about Mrs. Zhao's life experience. It took us a lot of time."
Yun Xi couldn't help being shocked, a small concubine's room, but it took so long for Wanshiwu and Yinmen to find some clues, which shows that the Zhao family is not ordinary.Originally, she learned from Yang Yurong's clichés that Mrs. Zhao is the distant niece of a scholar lady. Because of her family's decline, she joined the scholar's family.
Later, when Yang Yimeng entered the mountain, he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. Zhao sucked out the venom with his mouth in time, so Yang Yimeng was safe and saved his life.
Mrs. Yang Li was grateful for her kindness in saving her husband-in-law, and seeing that Mrs. Zhao's life in her aunt's family was not satisfactory, she simply asked Yang Yi to accept her as a concubine.Mrs. Zhao has been well-behaved all these years since she entered the house, and she respects Mrs. Yang and Li very much. Because of her good performance all the time, she has confused Mrs. Yang and made her really think that Mrs. Zhao is an honest person.
But he didn't expect to be bitten severely by this honest man, almost costing his son's life.
Yun Liudao: "After our investigation, we learned that Yang Yimeng was killed by a group of robbers named Heishanzhai. The leader of the bandits in Heishanzhai was called Zhao Pingyuan. He had a daughter named Zhao Baihe. Zhao Baihe, It is exactly Zhao's boudoir name."
With just a few words, Yun Xi understood the relationship.So that's the case... No wonder Du Yiming protects Mrs. Zhao like that, even though he knew she was going to attack his son.As Zhao Pingyuan's daughter, Mrs. Zhao must know what Du Yiming did. If she threatened her with this, Du Yiming could only grit her teeth and stand by her.
However, judging from Du Yiming's character of letting people kill the real Yang Yimeng in order to marry an official lady and enjoy the wealth and honor of his official career, it is impossible for him to be willing to keep the handle in the hands of others.Sooner or later, he will attack Zhao.
Yun Liudao: "In order not to let others know her background, Zhao Baihe has rarely contacted Zhao Pingyuan these years. Zhao Pingyuan passed away last year, and she never went back to wear mourning for him."
When Yun Xi heard this, she frowned unconsciously, and disgust flashed in her eyes.Although Zhao Pingyuan is a cruel person, from the fact that he tried every means to erase his daughter's past, arrange a new identity for her, and let her have a smooth life, it can be seen that he also loves his daughter.However, Zhao Baihe had no intention of being filial piety for this father at all, and even got pregnant during the filial piety period, which is simply shameless, and he is almost the same as Du Yiming, with a hideous appearance.
In fact, if she wanted to keep her filial piety, there could be no more reasons.Just say that when you receive a letter from your family and know that your father has passed away, you can wear mourning as a matter of course.Yang Li himself was not the kind of person who would treat concubines harshly.
wait, last year...
As if there was a thread connecting all the clues, Yun Xi suddenly became enlightened, and a flash of understanding flashed in her heart.
Zhao Baihe didn't get pregnant early, and she didn't get pregnant late, but she waited until her father Zhao Pingyuan passed away to get pregnant smoothly. Du Yiming did it on purpose.In this era, giving birth to a woman is like passing through the gates of hell, and if she is not careful, she will lose her life.
If Du Yiming had tampered with during childbirth, it could be said that no one knew about it.If Zhao Pingyuan was still alive, how could he dare to do this.Zhao Pingyuan will definitely seek justice for his daughter.
It turned out that it wasn't that they didn't count, it was just that the time hadn't come yet.
After guessing the joints, Yun Xi became more and more disgusted with Du Yiming, saying that he was a scum, and even smeared the word scum.
She asked in a deep voice, "How has Black Mountain Village developed over the years?"
Yun Liudao: "Heishanzhai has disappeared quite a bit over the years. In fact, except for the killing of Yang Yimeng back then, they have not committed many bloody crimes. Most of them are robbing the rich and helping the poor."
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched slightly, "Say, if our people, pretending to be Du Yiming and Zhao Baihe, poisoned the people in Heishanzhai—of course they didn't really do it, the other people in Heishanzhai mistakenly think that they want to How do you think they will behave if they want to kill people?"
Yun Liu understood, "They will definitely strike first. They will either kill them in turn, or announce what they did to the world. Moreover, Zhao Baihe is so unfilial, and the people in Heishanzhai have no complaints."
The smile on Yun Xi's face disappeared, "Let's do it like this."
Yun Liu withdrew after receiving this order.
Yun Xi sat leisurely in the main hall, playing with a peony ball carved from white jade.
Yang Yurong also changed clothes and came out at this time, looking at her with some doubts, "Sister, you seem to be in a good mood." Maybe it's because she thinks that her sister is closer than her sister Yun Xi, and Yang Yurong is now used to being like Yunyao Call her sister.
Yun Xi said: "Just remembering that the wicked will eventually subdue the law, I can't help but feel happy."
"My sister is talking about Mrs. Zhao, right? My mother has collected all the evidence, and she will definitely not let her go this time."
Yun Xi nodded, and then went out with Yang Yurong.
……
Yun Xi had to admit that it was really a good time for Yang and Li to sue Du Yiming.
Now many people have been infected with cowpox, and when the acne breaks out, it can be said that they are panicked. Now that such a big news happened, everyone came to watch desperately.
When Yun Xi and Yang Yurong got off the carriage, there was already a crowd of people in front of the Shuntian Mansion, and everyone gathered to watch the gossip about Mrs. Yang and Li suing her husband. Deep affection, in April when the eldest daughter of the Dai family puts on her makeup, "Yang Yimeng" went to pick up Mrs. Yang in person, waited for her at the door, and showed a wave of affection in front of everyone in the capital.Today, however, the style of painting suddenly changed drastically, and the sky was completely darkened, which naturally aroused the curiosity of many people.
Yun Xi was originally thinking about whether Yunda and the others would clear the way, so as to occupy a better place to watch, but who would have expected that the onlookers saw her and made way for them to pass.
Yun Xi couldn't help but froze in place.
"Princess, you are the Avalokitesvara who saves the suffering. If it weren't for your cowpox, I'm afraid our whole family would be infected with that day's flower."
"Yes, your great kindness, we will never forget it."
Hearing the sincere thanks, Yun Xi couldn't help but smile.It turns out that everything she did will still be remembered by people.
Yang Yurong looked at the reverence from the heart of these ordinary people, and she was full of envy—when will she be as powerful as her sister?
Yun Xi saluted them with a nod, and then walked to the front with Yang Yurong.
When Yang Yurong saw her mother kneeling in front of her, her eyes immediately turned red.
In the courtroom, Mrs. Yang Li said in a deep voice: "I originally thought that my husband and I were deeply in love with each other, but I didn't expect that Yang Yimeng knew that Mrs. Zhao was trying to use smallpox to harm my son, but he protected Mrs. Zhao and ignored all those people. Instead, I think that I am making trouble out of no reason."
Yang Lishi said later, her voice choked up unconsciously, "Then Zhao Shi was gentle and submissive before she was pregnant, but after she became pregnant, she regarded my son as a thorn in her side and secretly put smallpox germs into the quilt , causing my eight-year-old child to be infected with smallpox, if Princess Ming hadn’t extended a helping hand, my child’s life would have died like this.”
Recalling that she was lying on the bed at that time, obviously feeling extremely uncomfortable, but still trying to comfort her son, Yang Li's heart was pierced, and she wished to cut the instigator Zhao into pieces, and even hated her. He insisted on protecting Zhao's husband.
Mrs. Yang and Li kept the quilt well at that time, and only then unfolded the quilt on the courtroom to let everyone take a good look at the blood-stained cotton.
To be honest, if not many people have been inoculated with cowpox and are not afraid of smallpox, they would really be terrified when they saw this thing.
The people who ran to scold the Yang family before saw this scene, and they couldn't help feeling a little regretful.It can be seen from this that Mrs. Yang Li is also a poor person, a good child was almost killed.The person who really caused the smallpox infection was the ruthless Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Yang Li continued: "I gave half of the silk used for this quilt to make a quilt for my child. Mrs. Zhao thought the pattern was beautiful. I saw that she liked it, so I gave the rest to her. Who would have thought She used the silk to make an identical quilt, and hid smallpox in it. Then, while the quilt was drying, she secretly changed the quilt."
"After I found out about this, my husband doted on his concubine and killed his wife, and blamed all the faults on the maid next to Mrs. Zhao. She didn't tell the truth until I showed the maid's family's contract of sale, saying that Mrs. Zhao ordered her to do so. If your lord doesn't believe me, you can call that maid."
"It's a shame that at this time, my husband only said that the maid changed her words after being threatened by me. Since my son is fine, there is no need to make a big fuss."
Yang Li was disheartened, "Our only son was almost killed. In his eyes, it was just a trivial matter. I just wanted to get justice, but I was said to be making a big deal out of a molehill!" Thinking of this, Yang Li felt that she It was really blind back then that I thought Yang Yimeng was a good person.
Yang Lishi was articulate and organized, and portrayed the shameless words and deeds of Du Yiming and Zhao Baihe in an immersive way.
"It's no wonder that Mrs. Yang and Li came here to sue her husband and concubine. If a woman hadn't been forced to do anything, how could she expose her family scandal to the world?"
"Yeah, I thought she was making a fuss before, and thought she couldn't tolerate others, but now I understand her difficulties."
"If someone wants to harm my children, I will fight them like Yang Li."
Everyone feels the same about Yang Li.Especially since everyone knows that the smallpox was caused by Mrs. Zhao's plot to kill his son-in-law for his own selfishness in the first place, but it caused other people in the capital to contract it. There were people in the family who died of smallpox, and they wanted to give Mrs. Zhao to Ling Chi.This woman is really hateful.
As early as when Yang Li sued her husband, Sun Hong had asked Yang Yimeng to come over.
When Du Yiming arrived, he was greeted with contemptuous eyes from everyone.
Du Yiming looked at his wife in the yamen, and the anger in his heart kept rolling: he never expected that his wife, who has always been submissive and obedient, would make a scene with him this time as determined as she was, and even sued him to make him die in the capital. Humiliated in front of everyone in the middle.
If it is said that he really loves that Lily, that's not the case. He tolerates her now, it's just because Lily knows everything about his past.It's not that he isn't angry about Lily's direct attack on his legitimate son, but now is not the time to fall out with Lily - after Lily gives birth to a child, it's time for him to avenge Yufan.He thought he was trying his best to appease his wife, but she didn't buy it at all, which made his heart burn even more.
He hurried to the gate of the yamen, and saw Yun Xi at a glance.Even in the turbulent crowd, Yun Xi stood out from the crowd.She always seems to have a magical power that makes people unable to help but focus on her.He raised his eyes, and his eyes happened to meet Yun Xi's.
Yun Xi's gaze was a little cold, but clear, with a hint of mockery floating in it.
For some reason, Du Yiming felt guilty - obviously Yun Xi shouldn't know his true identity.
When he calmed down, Yun Xi turned to talk to Yu Rong again, as if the glance that made him tremble just now was just his hallucination.
Du Yiming suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and walked into the yamen.
As soon as Du Yiming entered, he argued: "My lord, my wife was just in a moment of anger, so she was a little unscrupulous. Please forgive her for being reckless."
He sighed, as if he would be considerate and tolerant no matter what inappropriate behavior his wife made.
Yang Li said with a sneer, "I've never been so sober." Soberly aware that the person next to my pillow for so many years is such a selfish person.She knew that he had worries, but she didn't think any worries would be better than the lives of her own wife and children.
Her only thought now is to protect her two children, and then prevent Yang Yimeng and Zhao Shi from having a good time.
Du Yiming wanted to say something more, but the common people who suffered from smallpox didn't buy it, and some even ignored that this was a court, and directly smashed a rotten egg on Du Yiming's head, so that his head was covered with rotten eggs emitting a foul smell .
"Hand over the Zhao family!"
"Hand over the Zhao family!"
Du Yiming can be considered to have experienced the scene of verbal debate in the court, but when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why.It's useless for him to speak eloquently when he meets these common people who don't listen to his set of principles at all.
After a while, he was thrown with rotten vegetables and leaves all over his body.When these people lost, they still remembered to avoid the victim Yang Lishi.
Yang Li's is several meters away from her husband, so as not to be accidentally affected.
Seeing the out-of-control scene, Sun Hong couldn't help but patted it with the gavel, "Quiet! How can there be such a noisy joke in the courtroom!" The only thing he was lucky about was that he was far away from Yang Yimeng, and he was not far away from Yang Yimeng. Afraid of being left behind, Sun Hong couldn't help but feel a headache at the thought of cleaning up later—even if it wasn't his turn.
An elderly woman burst into tears, "My lord, this Mrs. Zhao is really disgusting. My poor granddaughter, Yaya, is only three years old. She died because of smallpox this day. I wish I could go for her. But this Yang Yimeng, who loves his concubine and kills his wife, still wants to protect the Zhao family."
"If I don't see that Zhao's being tortured, I will not feel at ease in the future."
Sun Hong nodded helplessly, "Seeing your kind heart, I will forgive you the crime of roaring in court this time." He looked at Yang Yimeng in the hall, full of puzzlement in his heart: this Yang Yimeng usually sees He can be regarded as a smart person, why is he so confused today, insisting on protecting a concubine's room.Even if the concubine is pregnant, Yang Yimeng has no shortage of children. There are lovely daughters and lively sons at home.Anyone else would know how to choose in this matter.
Under the agitation of the crowd, Du Yiming really couldn't say that Zhao Baihe didn't do it in front of a pile of evidence.Just thinking of Zhao Baihe's threat, a trace of hostility flashed across his eyes, his lips trembled, and his voice was weak, "Zhao is pregnant anyway, at least her child is born..."
Mrs. Yang and Li's eyes were full of anger. Could it be that after Mrs. Zhao gave birth to the child, she was killed and then handed over to her to be raised?When she thought that she had to raise the son of her enemy, she felt as disgusted as swallowing a fly, and even lost the last trace of husband and wife friendship with the man in front of her.
Her voice was indifferent and without warmth, completely different from her usual gentle and virtuous attitude, "No matter what, I will not raise Zhao's children. If you want to have many children, you can! Wait for Zhao to get the retribution she deserves From now on, I will give you one hundred concubines that are easy to raise, and you can have as many children as you want."
It had nothing to do with her anyway.Mrs. Yang and Li have given her husband chances again and again, but her husband has disappointed her time and time again.
After Yang Yimeng has at least five pregnant concubines, she will reconcile with him, and let him take care of the pregnant women in the backyard by himself.
Du Yiming didn't expect his wife to be so reticent, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.It's just that he was at fault for this matter after all, and the onlookers stood on Yang Li's side and stared at him, so he really couldn't say anything serious at this time.
Sun Hong put the struggle on his face into his eyes, and couldn't help shaking his head: It's just a concubine, he really doesn't understand what Yang Yimeng is reluctant to give up, and he hasn't heard what a beauty that Mrs. Zhao is, listen to his wife She was just a handsome Xiaojiabiyu, not as good as Mrs. Yang herself.
At this time, the witnesses that Mrs. Yang and Li had found also arrived.These people are all related to smallpox.For example, Mrs. Gao who provided the smallpox seed to Mrs. Zhao, for example, the maid who sewed quilts to make it look like the real one, and the concierge who was bought off the back door...
Yang Li was able to find out these witnesses so smoothly, it was naturally Yun Xi who helped behind the scenes.These days, she often let Master Yang and Li Shi cooperate with Master Yang and Yinmen, but at the same time, she couldn't let Li Shi Yang discover the traces of her meddling.
Among them, the appearance of Aunt Gao directly caused the angry common people to almost break into the Yamen, causing a bloody case.After Yang and Li's report in the capital, everyone knew that the instigators of the smallpox disaster were Aunt Gao and Mrs. Zhao.
Aunt Gao naturally complained for herself and blamed all the faults on Mrs. Zhao, "Aunt Zhao said she wanted these things so that her child would get acne, so I believed it and gave them to her. How could I have thought that it would Something like this happens."
Aunt Gao’s granddaughter had smallpox before, and was left aside by the whole family to fend for herself. If she died directly, it would be good to have one less mouth in the family. Thinking that the family is full of losers, and there is no grandson to carry on the family line, Aunt Gao vomited blood.Unexpectedly, the granddaughter survived. Although her face was full of acne marks, she was still alive.Every time Aunt Gao saw her granddaughter's face, she couldn't help but sigh.
With one more mouth alive, plus her granddaughter Siya's face is pockmarked, she will definitely not be able to find a good marriage to support the family in the future, and this tone in Aunt Gao's heart is getting worse.
It happened that a nobleman in the city wanted to find the dirty things left by the smallpox, and offered 100 taels, and Aunt Gao rushed to send the things over.
Mrs. Yang and Li will not be fooled by her words casually, "Even if you want to use the method of getting acne, you can use the clothes worn by the patient, where you need to use these. Using these things is obviously to put people to death. .”
Aunt Gao made a dull look, "That's all we ordinary people in the countryside know. I didn't know that Aunt Zhao was so unpredictable. My lord, I am wronged."
"Grandma is lying."
A crisp voice sounded, and a pockmarked little girl about seven years old squeezed out from the crowd.
When Aunt Gao saw the little girl, her expression changed drastically, and she scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, you lose money, be careful, I will go back and beat you."
It was her fourth granddaughter Gao Siya, who had smallpox, who secretly followed Aunt Gao. Seeing her grandmother's ferocious appearance, and recalling the scene of being beaten, she couldn't help shrinking, but still summoned up her courage and said, "I Obviously heard it, grandma told Aunt Zhao that these things are mixed into the clothes and people always wear them, no matter how healthy the child is, the more difficult it is to survive."
"Aunt Zhao gave grandma 100 taels of silver, and also gave her a gold hairpin."
Yun Xi looked at the maid who sneaked out to testify, with a faint admiration in her eyes: This little girl is really brave enough.
Gao Siya's eyes turned red, she knelt down and kept kowtow, "I beg Master Qingtian to save my sisters. A few days ago, Li was going door-to-door asking about vaccination. Other families in the village went, but Grandma won't let my older sisters go."
"Grandma wants my sister to be infected with human pox, and then the pus and blood and scabs left behind can be sold to rich people who need it." Human pox is much more severe than cowpox, and it can't be overcome if you are not careful.This is also the reason why human pox is not very popular, and the mortality rate is relatively high.Unlike vaccinia, during this period at least thousands of ordinary people were planted with vaccinia, and the number of deaths was less than ten.In the face of a huge base, it is already negligible.Therefore, people can be said to be grateful to Chu Xiyuan and Yun Xi.
"Grandma said that with the money she earns, she can buy my father a good-looking daughter-in-law and give her a big and fat grandson in the future. The rest of the money can also buy dozens of acres of land for the family." As for her mother, she has always been If she can't give birth to a boy, she will naturally have to give up directly.
Everyone gasped after hearing this.This Mrs. Gao is really cruel. Taking the lives of several granddaughters in the family to make a fortune is too vicious, and it makes people itch with hatred.
Aunt Gao's complexion twisted, "I'll kill you, you bastard who talks nonsense." How could she have thought that this damn girl would listen to all these things, and even speak out in public, clearly to trap her deadly.
Gao Siya was also smart, so she got up directly from the ground and slipped behind a yamen servant, who was also protecting her, glaring at Aunt Gao angrily, Aunt Gao really didn't dare to do anything.
A faint smile could not help but appear in Yun Xi's eyes: This girl is smart and courageous, and she values friendship. If she reveals these things for her sister, she will be promising in the future.Just because of her feelings for her sister, she should give her a hand.
Sun Hong looked at Aunt Gao with disgust, and said: "Very well, Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Zhao tried to murder people, and put Mrs. Gao in a prison for retrial. For murdering my son-in-law, put her in a big prison and choose a day to hang her."
He looked at Du Yiming, whose face was ashen and seemed to be struggling, and said in a cold tone, "As for Mr. Yang, I can only leave it to His Majesty to judge." He really has no right to dismiss an official.
Yun Xi reminded, "My lord, because of the selfishness of these two people, countless innocent people in the capital have been affected. This is no longer a family matter, but a state matter."
Sun Hong immediately realized, "What Princess Ming said is true, then put them in prison and wait for His Majesty's order."
And today's case also means that this smallpox is not the so-called immorality of the emperor, but a man-made disaster. If His Majesty hears the news, he should be happy too.
Sun Hong recalled his colorful experience in solving cases this year, and felt that his day of promotion and fortune was not far away, and his mood improved a lot unconsciously.
Du Yiming's expression was a little dazed. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. He wanted to work hard to get rid of his predicament at this time, but he found that he was now in a swamp.
Are you just sitting there waiting to die?He was not reconciled, he had exhausted all his efforts to obtain such a wealth, how could he just give up like this.
He stood up, and was about to reach out to help Yang Li, who was a little swaying after kneeling for a long time.Yang Lishi avoided his hand, with an indifferent expression, looking at him as indifferently as if facing a stranger.
Yang Yimeng's hand involuntarily paused, then dropped.
When Mrs. Yang and Li came out, she saw her daughter standing with Du Yunxi. The two of them had [-]% alike in appearance, and they wouldn't believe it if they stood together and said they weren't sisters.She was dazed for a moment, but she recovered immediately and thanked Yun Xi: "Yu Rong has troubled you these days."
Yun Xi smiled: "With Yu Rong accompanying me, my side doesn't look deserted." She was telling the truth, Yun Yao often brought Duo Duo over when Yu Rong was there, and she often watched the two girls bickering , very interesting.
The corners of Yang Li's lips twitched, and she touched her daughter's head with a gentle expression: "Listen to your elder sister Yun Xi these few days." She still has to go back to her natal home to discuss with her parents what to do next.In any case, she couldn't stay under the same roof with Yang Yimeng anymore.
Yang Yurong nodded, "Mom, you should also pay attention to your body, don't be too tired."
Yang Lishi looked at her filial daughter, and couldn't help but twitch her lips—no matter what, she still has a pair of daughters. For them, she must be strong and not fall down.
……
Seeing the back of her mother leaving, Yang Yurong couldn't help asking Yun Xi in a low voice, "What will happen to my father and Mrs. Zhao?"
Yun Xi said softly: "If there was no smallpox disaster, your father would have lost his black hat at most. Now it is not necessarily the case, but his life should be safe. As for Mrs. Zhao, no matter what, she will end up dead. .”
The reason why she reminded Sun Hong aloud was because she was worried that Sun Hong would hang the Zhao family directly tomorrow.She still has to save Zhao's life for a few days before she can find out Du Yiming's past, but if she loses her black hat, how could she want to? Wouldn't it be cheaper for him.
Although Yang Yurong was angry that her father was protecting the Zhao family, she was her own father after all, so she definitely wouldn't want his life to be in danger. This is just right now.
Seeing Yu Rong's expression, Yun Xi couldn't help feeling that this younger sister was too soft-hearted after all, or she still had expectations for Du Yiming.But this can't be her fault, Du Yiming has always been a good husband and father in the past.
It's just that she thought of Yu Qingran and her abandoned original body, and her heart hardened again.She won't lose even half of what should be won for their mother and daughter.
After returning home, Li Qiu immediately walked over and whispered something in her ear.
Yun Xi was startled, her expression became serious, "I'll be there right away."
What Li Qiu said was that Mo Yan wanted to find her urgently, which was very important information.Let Mo Yan say it's important, which shows that the matter is of great importance.
Yang Yurong immediately said considerately: "I'm a little tired after coming out today, I'll go to rest first." Then she went back to her room.
Yun Xi nodded, she suddenly thought of Gao Siya who bravely reported her grandmother in the court, and told Li Qiu, "Buy Gao Siya and her sisters, if what happened today, I'm afraid they will be in the court. Life at home will not be easy." Mrs. Gao was imprisoned, and the rest of the Gao family must have vented their anger on the girls.
Li Qiu agreed, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you then, there is a young master with acne at home, so I need to buy some maids who have acne to take care of me."
Yunxi looked appreciative, and Liqiu was getting smarter.
She went to the study, Mo Yan had been waiting for her there.
Yun Xi said: "What happened? Could it be that something went wrong in Heishanzhai?"
Mo Yan shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with Heishan Village. Everything is going well there. They all thought that Zhao Baihe and Du Yiming were killing others and poisoning them. They were filled with righteous indignation and planned to make them look good."
He paused for a moment, and his tone became more serious, "Madam, please be mentally prepared. This matter has something to do with Du Yiming."
Yun Xi was stunned, "It can't be that my mother was killed by Du Yiming, right?" The story of Qin Xianglian in her previous life is well-known, and with Du Yiming's ruthlessness, it's not unusual for her to do such a thing.
Mo Yan said: "Madam should know about Mo Yang's sneaking into the Xuemei Sect before. Because he has completed many tasks, he has gained more and more trust from the Xuemei Sect, and even started to take charge of some information about the Xuemei Sect."
Speaking of the Blood Plum Sect, Yun Xi immediately remembered the assassination she first encountered.If she hadn't been good at that time, she would have died long ago.
Her heart couldn't help sinking, and she had guessed what Mo Yan hadn't said yet.
"You mean, the one who assassinated me was not someone else but Du Yiming?"
Mo Yan nodded. When he heard the news, he couldn't believe it: How could this father have a father, and wanted to buy a murderer to assassinate his own daughter.He couldn't help looking at his wife, but found that her face was very calm.It seems that there is no sadness or anger because of this news, only indifference.
"To be honest, I'm not surprised to hear that it's him, but I think it's expected." Maybe it's because she never had hope for Du Yiming's character, so Yun Xi didn't feel hopeless.
She tried her best to recall what happened at that time, trying to find the motive of Du Yiming's assassination of her.At that time, she only opened a small shop in Fenghuang County to earn a little money, and her reputation never spread to the capital.
She suddenly remembered something and couldn't help moving her fingers.The assassination happened after she and Yu Rong got acquainted and even exchanged letters frequently.
She was rescued by Yu Rong from the water at that time. Yu Rong has always liked her very much. After returning to the capital, she never forgot. In the letters they exchanged, they often invite Yun Xi to play in the capital. Yun Xi also replied that if there is a chance, , will go and have a look.I think the problem is here.
Du Yiming didn't know how many memories Yun Xi had when he was a child, and whether he would recognize him, so just in case, he simply killed the danger in the cradle.Once the matter of stopping his wife and remarrying is exposed, his official career will be ruined, and his glory and wealth will be in vain.
He probably originally thought that it would not take much effort to assassinate a village girl like Yun Xi, but he was just careful, so he invited the Xuemei Sect, but he didn't expect the elite of the Xuemei Sect to fall on Yun Xi.Du Yiming's money was limited, and he couldn't get more money to hire a more powerful killer, so he could only stop temporarily.
Yun Xi brought Du Zhoushi and others into Beijing, probably the moment when he was most panicked.It's just that the Du family has a lot of guards, so he really can't take action against the Du family, so he can only grit his teeth and play Yang Yimeng's identity to the end.
Du Zhou and the others were not as careful as Yun Xi, but under his careful cover-up, they never suspected it.
Thinking of this, Yun Xi couldn't help sighing, as the saying goes, a lie needs a thousand lies to cover up, one wrong step, one wrong step.For the initial obsession, Du Yiming could only gradually walk towards the cliff.
Yun Xi looked at Mo Yan and said, "If Du Yiming's assassination of me is exposed, will Mo Yang be exposed?"
She didn't want to see Du Yiming shamelessly begging herself for help as a father in the future, and she didn't want the world to oppress her with the so-called filial piety.If this matter breaks out, Du Yiming will stop talking about it.
Mo Yan said: "This is not a problem. It just so happens that a traitor from Xuemeimen escaped recently and took away a lot of information. It is understandable for the information to leak out."
Yun Xi understands, which means that Mo Yang has already found the backer.Good, she can give it a go.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Yun Xi felt that she intended to meet Yang Lishi once.
(End of this chapter)
After Yang Yufan's health improved, Yun Xi originally thought that Mrs. Yang and Li would go straight to Du Yiming, but she never made a move.Originally, she was a little disappointed that Mrs. Yang and Li were also the kind of people who swallowed their anger, but who would have expected that if the other party didn't sing, the whole capital would be shocked.
Doting on concubines and destroying wives is also a kind of people not suing officials.Naturally, there are some families in the capital who dote on their concubines and kill their wives, but those main wives basically choose to remain silent, either for the sake of face and reputation, or because of their cowardly character, and few of them will actually go to sue.
When Yun Xi received the news, she was so surprised that she dropped the teacup in her hand.It can only be said that the child is really the mother's rebel. For the sake of her child, a gentle person like Yang Li is willing to go to court to sue her husband, even if her lawsuit may make her husband lose his job , was demoted.
As one of the defendants, once the Zhao family is convicted of murdering his son-in-law, the only thing waiting for her is hanging.
When Li Qiu came to tell the news, Yang Yurong was beside Yun Xi.After she heard the news, she unconsciously clenched her skirt tightly and pulled out the wrinkles, "Sister Yunxi, I want to go to the yamen to see my mother."
No matter what, she will stand on the same front as her mother.What her father did really disappointed her.She didn't understand why her loving father, who was originally loving, would become like this after Mrs. Zhao became pregnant.
Yun Xi nodded. She also wanted to see what happened to Du Yiming.
The two of them were about to go to the yamen together, but Yun Liu came. He coughed, obviously he wanted to say something.
Yun Xi moved slightly, and said to Yu Rong: "Go and wash up first, and when I take you there later, you must not let your mother see that you are unkempt and think that I have treated you badly."
Yang Yurong, who was originally in a bad mood, couldn't help laughing, "I'm not as exaggerated as my sister you said." She touched her face worriedly, "Then I'd better go wash my face."
Looking at Yang Yurong's back, Yun Xi felt that this younger sister was really easy to coax.
Fortunately, although her father is a scumbag, her younger sister is still a good younger sister.
After Yang Yurong left, Yun Liu said, "We have already found out about Mrs. Zhao's life experience. It took us a lot of time."
Yun Xi couldn't help being shocked, a small concubine's room, but it took so long for Wanshiwu and Yinmen to find some clues, which shows that the Zhao family is not ordinary.Originally, she learned from Yang Yurong's clichés that Mrs. Zhao is the distant niece of a scholar lady. Because of her family's decline, she joined the scholar's family.
Later, when Yang Yimeng entered the mountain, he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. Zhao sucked out the venom with his mouth in time, so Yang Yimeng was safe and saved his life.
Mrs. Yang Li was grateful for her kindness in saving her husband-in-law, and seeing that Mrs. Zhao's life in her aunt's family was not satisfactory, she simply asked Yang Yi to accept her as a concubine.Mrs. Zhao has been well-behaved all these years since she entered the house, and she respects Mrs. Yang and Li very much. Because of her good performance all the time, she has confused Mrs. Yang and made her really think that Mrs. Zhao is an honest person.
But he didn't expect to be bitten severely by this honest man, almost costing his son's life.
Yun Liudao: "After our investigation, we learned that Yang Yimeng was killed by a group of robbers named Heishanzhai. The leader of the bandits in Heishanzhai was called Zhao Pingyuan. He had a daughter named Zhao Baihe. Zhao Baihe, It is exactly Zhao's boudoir name."
With just a few words, Yun Xi understood the relationship.So that's the case... No wonder Du Yiming protects Mrs. Zhao like that, even though he knew she was going to attack his son.As Zhao Pingyuan's daughter, Mrs. Zhao must know what Du Yiming did. If she threatened her with this, Du Yiming could only grit her teeth and stand by her.
However, judging from Du Yiming's character of letting people kill the real Yang Yimeng in order to marry an official lady and enjoy the wealth and honor of his official career, it is impossible for him to be willing to keep the handle in the hands of others.Sooner or later, he will attack Zhao.
Yun Liudao: "In order not to let others know her background, Zhao Baihe has rarely contacted Zhao Pingyuan these years. Zhao Pingyuan passed away last year, and she never went back to wear mourning for him."
When Yun Xi heard this, she frowned unconsciously, and disgust flashed in her eyes.Although Zhao Pingyuan is a cruel person, from the fact that he tried every means to erase his daughter's past, arrange a new identity for her, and let her have a smooth life, it can be seen that he also loves his daughter.However, Zhao Baihe had no intention of being filial piety for this father at all, and even got pregnant during the filial piety period, which is simply shameless, and he is almost the same as Du Yiming, with a hideous appearance.
In fact, if she wanted to keep her filial piety, there could be no more reasons.Just say that when you receive a letter from your family and know that your father has passed away, you can wear mourning as a matter of course.Yang Li himself was not the kind of person who would treat concubines harshly.
wait, last year...
As if there was a thread connecting all the clues, Yun Xi suddenly became enlightened, and a flash of understanding flashed in her heart.
Zhao Baihe didn't get pregnant early, and she didn't get pregnant late, but she waited until her father Zhao Pingyuan passed away to get pregnant smoothly. Du Yiming did it on purpose.In this era, giving birth to a woman is like passing through the gates of hell, and if she is not careful, she will lose her life.
If Du Yiming had tampered with during childbirth, it could be said that no one knew about it.If Zhao Pingyuan was still alive, how could he dare to do this.Zhao Pingyuan will definitely seek justice for his daughter.
It turned out that it wasn't that they didn't count, it was just that the time hadn't come yet.
After guessing the joints, Yun Xi became more and more disgusted with Du Yiming, saying that he was a scum, and even smeared the word scum.
She asked in a deep voice, "How has Black Mountain Village developed over the years?"
Yun Liudao: "Heishanzhai has disappeared quite a bit over the years. In fact, except for the killing of Yang Yimeng back then, they have not committed many bloody crimes. Most of them are robbing the rich and helping the poor."
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched slightly, "Say, if our people, pretending to be Du Yiming and Zhao Baihe, poisoned the people in Heishanzhai—of course they didn't really do it, the other people in Heishanzhai mistakenly think that they want to How do you think they will behave if they want to kill people?"
Yun Liu understood, "They will definitely strike first. They will either kill them in turn, or announce what they did to the world. Moreover, Zhao Baihe is so unfilial, and the people in Heishanzhai have no complaints."
The smile on Yun Xi's face disappeared, "Let's do it like this."
Yun Liu withdrew after receiving this order.
Yun Xi sat leisurely in the main hall, playing with a peony ball carved from white jade.
Yang Yurong also changed clothes and came out at this time, looking at her with some doubts, "Sister, you seem to be in a good mood." Maybe it's because she thinks that her sister is closer than her sister Yun Xi, and Yang Yurong is now used to being like Yunyao Call her sister.
Yun Xi said: "Just remembering that the wicked will eventually subdue the law, I can't help but feel happy."
"My sister is talking about Mrs. Zhao, right? My mother has collected all the evidence, and she will definitely not let her go this time."
Yun Xi nodded, and then went out with Yang Yurong.
……
Yun Xi had to admit that it was really a good time for Yang and Li to sue Du Yiming.
Now many people have been infected with cowpox, and when the acne breaks out, it can be said that they are panicked. Now that such a big news happened, everyone came to watch desperately.
When Yun Xi and Yang Yurong got off the carriage, there was already a crowd of people in front of the Shuntian Mansion, and everyone gathered to watch the gossip about Mrs. Yang and Li suing her husband. Deep affection, in April when the eldest daughter of the Dai family puts on her makeup, "Yang Yimeng" went to pick up Mrs. Yang in person, waited for her at the door, and showed a wave of affection in front of everyone in the capital.Today, however, the style of painting suddenly changed drastically, and the sky was completely darkened, which naturally aroused the curiosity of many people.
Yun Xi was originally thinking about whether Yunda and the others would clear the way, so as to occupy a better place to watch, but who would have expected that the onlookers saw her and made way for them to pass.
Yun Xi couldn't help but froze in place.
"Princess, you are the Avalokitesvara who saves the suffering. If it weren't for your cowpox, I'm afraid our whole family would be infected with that day's flower."
"Yes, your great kindness, we will never forget it."
Hearing the sincere thanks, Yun Xi couldn't help but smile.It turns out that everything she did will still be remembered by people.
Yang Yurong looked at the reverence from the heart of these ordinary people, and she was full of envy—when will she be as powerful as her sister?
Yun Xi saluted them with a nod, and then walked to the front with Yang Yurong.
When Yang Yurong saw her mother kneeling in front of her, her eyes immediately turned red.
In the courtroom, Mrs. Yang Li said in a deep voice: "I originally thought that my husband and I were deeply in love with each other, but I didn't expect that Yang Yimeng knew that Mrs. Zhao was trying to use smallpox to harm my son, but he protected Mrs. Zhao and ignored all those people. Instead, I think that I am making trouble out of no reason."
Yang Lishi said later, her voice choked up unconsciously, "Then Zhao Shi was gentle and submissive before she was pregnant, but after she became pregnant, she regarded my son as a thorn in her side and secretly put smallpox germs into the quilt , causing my eight-year-old child to be infected with smallpox, if Princess Ming hadn’t extended a helping hand, my child’s life would have died like this.”
Recalling that she was lying on the bed at that time, obviously feeling extremely uncomfortable, but still trying to comfort her son, Yang Li's heart was pierced, and she wished to cut the instigator Zhao into pieces, and even hated her. He insisted on protecting Zhao's husband.
Mrs. Yang and Li kept the quilt well at that time, and only then unfolded the quilt on the courtroom to let everyone take a good look at the blood-stained cotton.
To be honest, if not many people have been inoculated with cowpox and are not afraid of smallpox, they would really be terrified when they saw this thing.
The people who ran to scold the Yang family before saw this scene, and they couldn't help feeling a little regretful.It can be seen from this that Mrs. Yang Li is also a poor person, a good child was almost killed.The person who really caused the smallpox infection was the ruthless Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Yang Li continued: "I gave half of the silk used for this quilt to make a quilt for my child. Mrs. Zhao thought the pattern was beautiful. I saw that she liked it, so I gave the rest to her. Who would have thought She used the silk to make an identical quilt, and hid smallpox in it. Then, while the quilt was drying, she secretly changed the quilt."
"After I found out about this, my husband doted on his concubine and killed his wife, and blamed all the faults on the maid next to Mrs. Zhao. She didn't tell the truth until I showed the maid's family's contract of sale, saying that Mrs. Zhao ordered her to do so. If your lord doesn't believe me, you can call that maid."
"It's a shame that at this time, my husband only said that the maid changed her words after being threatened by me. Since my son is fine, there is no need to make a big fuss."
Yang Li was disheartened, "Our only son was almost killed. In his eyes, it was just a trivial matter. I just wanted to get justice, but I was said to be making a big deal out of a molehill!" Thinking of this, Yang Li felt that she It was really blind back then that I thought Yang Yimeng was a good person.
Yang Lishi was articulate and organized, and portrayed the shameless words and deeds of Du Yiming and Zhao Baihe in an immersive way.
"It's no wonder that Mrs. Yang and Li came here to sue her husband and concubine. If a woman hadn't been forced to do anything, how could she expose her family scandal to the world?"
"Yeah, I thought she was making a fuss before, and thought she couldn't tolerate others, but now I understand her difficulties."
"If someone wants to harm my children, I will fight them like Yang Li."
Everyone feels the same about Yang Li.Especially since everyone knows that the smallpox was caused by Mrs. Zhao's plot to kill his son-in-law for his own selfishness in the first place, but it caused other people in the capital to contract it. There were people in the family who died of smallpox, and they wanted to give Mrs. Zhao to Ling Chi.This woman is really hateful.
As early as when Yang Li sued her husband, Sun Hong had asked Yang Yimeng to come over.
When Du Yiming arrived, he was greeted with contemptuous eyes from everyone.
Du Yiming looked at his wife in the yamen, and the anger in his heart kept rolling: he never expected that his wife, who has always been submissive and obedient, would make a scene with him this time as determined as she was, and even sued him to make him die in the capital. Humiliated in front of everyone in the middle.
If it is said that he really loves that Lily, that's not the case. He tolerates her now, it's just because Lily knows everything about his past.It's not that he isn't angry about Lily's direct attack on his legitimate son, but now is not the time to fall out with Lily - after Lily gives birth to a child, it's time for him to avenge Yufan.He thought he was trying his best to appease his wife, but she didn't buy it at all, which made his heart burn even more.
He hurried to the gate of the yamen, and saw Yun Xi at a glance.Even in the turbulent crowd, Yun Xi stood out from the crowd.She always seems to have a magical power that makes people unable to help but focus on her.He raised his eyes, and his eyes happened to meet Yun Xi's.
Yun Xi's gaze was a little cold, but clear, with a hint of mockery floating in it.
For some reason, Du Yiming felt guilty - obviously Yun Xi shouldn't know his true identity.
When he calmed down, Yun Xi turned to talk to Yu Rong again, as if the glance that made him tremble just now was just his hallucination.
Du Yiming suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and walked into the yamen.
As soon as Du Yiming entered, he argued: "My lord, my wife was just in a moment of anger, so she was a little unscrupulous. Please forgive her for being reckless."
He sighed, as if he would be considerate and tolerant no matter what inappropriate behavior his wife made.
Yang Li said with a sneer, "I've never been so sober." Soberly aware that the person next to my pillow for so many years is such a selfish person.She knew that he had worries, but she didn't think any worries would be better than the lives of her own wife and children.
Her only thought now is to protect her two children, and then prevent Yang Yimeng and Zhao Shi from having a good time.
Du Yiming wanted to say something more, but the common people who suffered from smallpox didn't buy it, and some even ignored that this was a court, and directly smashed a rotten egg on Du Yiming's head, so that his head was covered with rotten eggs emitting a foul smell .
"Hand over the Zhao family!"
"Hand over the Zhao family!"
Du Yiming can be considered to have experienced the scene of verbal debate in the court, but when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why.It's useless for him to speak eloquently when he meets these common people who don't listen to his set of principles at all.
After a while, he was thrown with rotten vegetables and leaves all over his body.When these people lost, they still remembered to avoid the victim Yang Lishi.
Yang Li's is several meters away from her husband, so as not to be accidentally affected.
Seeing the out-of-control scene, Sun Hong couldn't help but patted it with the gavel, "Quiet! How can there be such a noisy joke in the courtroom!" The only thing he was lucky about was that he was far away from Yang Yimeng, and he was not far away from Yang Yimeng. Afraid of being left behind, Sun Hong couldn't help but feel a headache at the thought of cleaning up later—even if it wasn't his turn.
An elderly woman burst into tears, "My lord, this Mrs. Zhao is really disgusting. My poor granddaughter, Yaya, is only three years old. She died because of smallpox this day. I wish I could go for her. But this Yang Yimeng, who loves his concubine and kills his wife, still wants to protect the Zhao family."
"If I don't see that Zhao's being tortured, I will not feel at ease in the future."
Sun Hong nodded helplessly, "Seeing your kind heart, I will forgive you the crime of roaring in court this time." He looked at Yang Yimeng in the hall, full of puzzlement in his heart: this Yang Yimeng usually sees He can be regarded as a smart person, why is he so confused today, insisting on protecting a concubine's room.Even if the concubine is pregnant, Yang Yimeng has no shortage of children. There are lovely daughters and lively sons at home.Anyone else would know how to choose in this matter.
Under the agitation of the crowd, Du Yiming really couldn't say that Zhao Baihe didn't do it in front of a pile of evidence.Just thinking of Zhao Baihe's threat, a trace of hostility flashed across his eyes, his lips trembled, and his voice was weak, "Zhao is pregnant anyway, at least her child is born..."
Mrs. Yang and Li's eyes were full of anger. Could it be that after Mrs. Zhao gave birth to the child, she was killed and then handed over to her to be raised?When she thought that she had to raise the son of her enemy, she felt as disgusted as swallowing a fly, and even lost the last trace of husband and wife friendship with the man in front of her.
Her voice was indifferent and without warmth, completely different from her usual gentle and virtuous attitude, "No matter what, I will not raise Zhao's children. If you want to have many children, you can! Wait for Zhao to get the retribution she deserves From now on, I will give you one hundred concubines that are easy to raise, and you can have as many children as you want."
It had nothing to do with her anyway.Mrs. Yang and Li have given her husband chances again and again, but her husband has disappointed her time and time again.
After Yang Yimeng has at least five pregnant concubines, she will reconcile with him, and let him take care of the pregnant women in the backyard by himself.
Du Yiming didn't expect his wife to be so reticent, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.It's just that he was at fault for this matter after all, and the onlookers stood on Yang Li's side and stared at him, so he really couldn't say anything serious at this time.
Sun Hong put the struggle on his face into his eyes, and couldn't help shaking his head: It's just a concubine, he really doesn't understand what Yang Yimeng is reluctant to give up, and he hasn't heard what a beauty that Mrs. Zhao is, listen to his wife She was just a handsome Xiaojiabiyu, not as good as Mrs. Yang herself.
At this time, the witnesses that Mrs. Yang and Li had found also arrived.These people are all related to smallpox.For example, Mrs. Gao who provided the smallpox seed to Mrs. Zhao, for example, the maid who sewed quilts to make it look like the real one, and the concierge who was bought off the back door...
Yang Li was able to find out these witnesses so smoothly, it was naturally Yun Xi who helped behind the scenes.These days, she often let Master Yang and Li Shi cooperate with Master Yang and Yinmen, but at the same time, she couldn't let Li Shi Yang discover the traces of her meddling.
Among them, the appearance of Aunt Gao directly caused the angry common people to almost break into the Yamen, causing a bloody case.After Yang and Li's report in the capital, everyone knew that the instigators of the smallpox disaster were Aunt Gao and Mrs. Zhao.
Aunt Gao naturally complained for herself and blamed all the faults on Mrs. Zhao, "Aunt Zhao said she wanted these things so that her child would get acne, so I believed it and gave them to her. How could I have thought that it would Something like this happens."
Aunt Gao’s granddaughter had smallpox before, and was left aside by the whole family to fend for herself. If she died directly, it would be good to have one less mouth in the family. Thinking that the family is full of losers, and there is no grandson to carry on the family line, Aunt Gao vomited blood.Unexpectedly, the granddaughter survived. Although her face was full of acne marks, she was still alive.Every time Aunt Gao saw her granddaughter's face, she couldn't help but sigh.
With one more mouth alive, plus her granddaughter Siya's face is pockmarked, she will definitely not be able to find a good marriage to support the family in the future, and this tone in Aunt Gao's heart is getting worse.
It happened that a nobleman in the city wanted to find the dirty things left by the smallpox, and offered 100 taels, and Aunt Gao rushed to send the things over.
Mrs. Yang and Li will not be fooled by her words casually, "Even if you want to use the method of getting acne, you can use the clothes worn by the patient, where you need to use these. Using these things is obviously to put people to death. .”
Aunt Gao made a dull look, "That's all we ordinary people in the countryside know. I didn't know that Aunt Zhao was so unpredictable. My lord, I am wronged."
"Grandma is lying."
A crisp voice sounded, and a pockmarked little girl about seven years old squeezed out from the crowd.
When Aunt Gao saw the little girl, her expression changed drastically, and she scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, you lose money, be careful, I will go back and beat you."
It was her fourth granddaughter Gao Siya, who had smallpox, who secretly followed Aunt Gao. Seeing her grandmother's ferocious appearance, and recalling the scene of being beaten, she couldn't help shrinking, but still summoned up her courage and said, "I Obviously heard it, grandma told Aunt Zhao that these things are mixed into the clothes and people always wear them, no matter how healthy the child is, the more difficult it is to survive."
"Aunt Zhao gave grandma 100 taels of silver, and also gave her a gold hairpin."
Yun Xi looked at the maid who sneaked out to testify, with a faint admiration in her eyes: This little girl is really brave enough.
Gao Siya's eyes turned red, she knelt down and kept kowtow, "I beg Master Qingtian to save my sisters. A few days ago, Li was going door-to-door asking about vaccination. Other families in the village went, but Grandma won't let my older sisters go."
"Grandma wants my sister to be infected with human pox, and then the pus and blood and scabs left behind can be sold to rich people who need it." Human pox is much more severe than cowpox, and it can't be overcome if you are not careful.This is also the reason why human pox is not very popular, and the mortality rate is relatively high.Unlike vaccinia, during this period at least thousands of ordinary people were planted with vaccinia, and the number of deaths was less than ten.In the face of a huge base, it is already negligible.Therefore, people can be said to be grateful to Chu Xiyuan and Yun Xi.
"Grandma said that with the money she earns, she can buy my father a good-looking daughter-in-law and give her a big and fat grandson in the future. The rest of the money can also buy dozens of acres of land for the family." As for her mother, she has always been If she can't give birth to a boy, she will naturally have to give up directly.
Everyone gasped after hearing this.This Mrs. Gao is really cruel. Taking the lives of several granddaughters in the family to make a fortune is too vicious, and it makes people itch with hatred.
Aunt Gao's complexion twisted, "I'll kill you, you bastard who talks nonsense." How could she have thought that this damn girl would listen to all these things, and even speak out in public, clearly to trap her deadly.
Gao Siya was also smart, so she got up directly from the ground and slipped behind a yamen servant, who was also protecting her, glaring at Aunt Gao angrily, Aunt Gao really didn't dare to do anything.
A faint smile could not help but appear in Yun Xi's eyes: This girl is smart and courageous, and she values friendship. If she reveals these things for her sister, she will be promising in the future.Just because of her feelings for her sister, she should give her a hand.
Sun Hong looked at Aunt Gao with disgust, and said: "Very well, Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Zhao tried to murder people, and put Mrs. Gao in a prison for retrial. For murdering my son-in-law, put her in a big prison and choose a day to hang her."
He looked at Du Yiming, whose face was ashen and seemed to be struggling, and said in a cold tone, "As for Mr. Yang, I can only leave it to His Majesty to judge." He really has no right to dismiss an official.
Yun Xi reminded, "My lord, because of the selfishness of these two people, countless innocent people in the capital have been affected. This is no longer a family matter, but a state matter."
Sun Hong immediately realized, "What Princess Ming said is true, then put them in prison and wait for His Majesty's order."
And today's case also means that this smallpox is not the so-called immorality of the emperor, but a man-made disaster. If His Majesty hears the news, he should be happy too.
Sun Hong recalled his colorful experience in solving cases this year, and felt that his day of promotion and fortune was not far away, and his mood improved a lot unconsciously.
Du Yiming's expression was a little dazed. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. He wanted to work hard to get rid of his predicament at this time, but he found that he was now in a swamp.
Are you just sitting there waiting to die?He was not reconciled, he had exhausted all his efforts to obtain such a wealth, how could he just give up like this.
He stood up, and was about to reach out to help Yang Li, who was a little swaying after kneeling for a long time.Yang Lishi avoided his hand, with an indifferent expression, looking at him as indifferently as if facing a stranger.
Yang Yimeng's hand involuntarily paused, then dropped.
When Mrs. Yang and Li came out, she saw her daughter standing with Du Yunxi. The two of them had [-]% alike in appearance, and they wouldn't believe it if they stood together and said they weren't sisters.She was dazed for a moment, but she recovered immediately and thanked Yun Xi: "Yu Rong has troubled you these days."
Yun Xi smiled: "With Yu Rong accompanying me, my side doesn't look deserted." She was telling the truth, Yun Yao often brought Duo Duo over when Yu Rong was there, and she often watched the two girls bickering , very interesting.
The corners of Yang Li's lips twitched, and she touched her daughter's head with a gentle expression: "Listen to your elder sister Yun Xi these few days." She still has to go back to her natal home to discuss with her parents what to do next.In any case, she couldn't stay under the same roof with Yang Yimeng anymore.
Yang Yurong nodded, "Mom, you should also pay attention to your body, don't be too tired."
Yang Lishi looked at her filial daughter, and couldn't help but twitch her lips—no matter what, she still has a pair of daughters. For them, she must be strong and not fall down.
……
Seeing the back of her mother leaving, Yang Yurong couldn't help asking Yun Xi in a low voice, "What will happen to my father and Mrs. Zhao?"
Yun Xi said softly: "If there was no smallpox disaster, your father would have lost his black hat at most. Now it is not necessarily the case, but his life should be safe. As for Mrs. Zhao, no matter what, she will end up dead. .”
The reason why she reminded Sun Hong aloud was because she was worried that Sun Hong would hang the Zhao family directly tomorrow.She still has to save Zhao's life for a few days before she can find out Du Yiming's past, but if she loses her black hat, how could she want to? Wouldn't it be cheaper for him.
Although Yang Yurong was angry that her father was protecting the Zhao family, she was her own father after all, so she definitely wouldn't want his life to be in danger. This is just right now.
Seeing Yu Rong's expression, Yun Xi couldn't help feeling that this younger sister was too soft-hearted after all, or she still had expectations for Du Yiming.But this can't be her fault, Du Yiming has always been a good husband and father in the past.
It's just that she thought of Yu Qingran and her abandoned original body, and her heart hardened again.She won't lose even half of what should be won for their mother and daughter.
After returning home, Li Qiu immediately walked over and whispered something in her ear.
Yun Xi was startled, her expression became serious, "I'll be there right away."
What Li Qiu said was that Mo Yan wanted to find her urgently, which was very important information.Let Mo Yan say it's important, which shows that the matter is of great importance.
Yang Yurong immediately said considerately: "I'm a little tired after coming out today, I'll go to rest first." Then she went back to her room.
Yun Xi nodded, she suddenly thought of Gao Siya who bravely reported her grandmother in the court, and told Li Qiu, "Buy Gao Siya and her sisters, if what happened today, I'm afraid they will be in the court. Life at home will not be easy." Mrs. Gao was imprisoned, and the rest of the Gao family must have vented their anger on the girls.
Li Qiu agreed, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you then, there is a young master with acne at home, so I need to buy some maids who have acne to take care of me."
Yunxi looked appreciative, and Liqiu was getting smarter.
She went to the study, Mo Yan had been waiting for her there.
Yun Xi said: "What happened? Could it be that something went wrong in Heishanzhai?"
Mo Yan shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with Heishan Village. Everything is going well there. They all thought that Zhao Baihe and Du Yiming were killing others and poisoning them. They were filled with righteous indignation and planned to make them look good."
He paused for a moment, and his tone became more serious, "Madam, please be mentally prepared. This matter has something to do with Du Yiming."
Yun Xi was stunned, "It can't be that my mother was killed by Du Yiming, right?" The story of Qin Xianglian in her previous life is well-known, and with Du Yiming's ruthlessness, it's not unusual for her to do such a thing.
Mo Yan said: "Madam should know about Mo Yang's sneaking into the Xuemei Sect before. Because he has completed many tasks, he has gained more and more trust from the Xuemei Sect, and even started to take charge of some information about the Xuemei Sect."
Speaking of the Blood Plum Sect, Yun Xi immediately remembered the assassination she first encountered.If she hadn't been good at that time, she would have died long ago.
Her heart couldn't help sinking, and she had guessed what Mo Yan hadn't said yet.
"You mean, the one who assassinated me was not someone else but Du Yiming?"
Mo Yan nodded. When he heard the news, he couldn't believe it: How could this father have a father, and wanted to buy a murderer to assassinate his own daughter.He couldn't help looking at his wife, but found that her face was very calm.It seems that there is no sadness or anger because of this news, only indifference.
"To be honest, I'm not surprised to hear that it's him, but I think it's expected." Maybe it's because she never had hope for Du Yiming's character, so Yun Xi didn't feel hopeless.
She tried her best to recall what happened at that time, trying to find the motive of Du Yiming's assassination of her.At that time, she only opened a small shop in Fenghuang County to earn a little money, and her reputation never spread to the capital.
She suddenly remembered something and couldn't help moving her fingers.The assassination happened after she and Yu Rong got acquainted and even exchanged letters frequently.
She was rescued by Yu Rong from the water at that time. Yu Rong has always liked her very much. After returning to the capital, she never forgot. In the letters they exchanged, they often invite Yun Xi to play in the capital. Yun Xi also replied that if there is a chance, , will go and have a look.I think the problem is here.
Du Yiming didn't know how many memories Yun Xi had when he was a child, and whether he would recognize him, so just in case, he simply killed the danger in the cradle.Once the matter of stopping his wife and remarrying is exposed, his official career will be ruined, and his glory and wealth will be in vain.
He probably originally thought that it would not take much effort to assassinate a village girl like Yun Xi, but he was just careful, so he invited the Xuemei Sect, but he didn't expect the elite of the Xuemei Sect to fall on Yun Xi.Du Yiming's money was limited, and he couldn't get more money to hire a more powerful killer, so he could only stop temporarily.
Yun Xi brought Du Zhoushi and others into Beijing, probably the moment when he was most panicked.It's just that the Du family has a lot of guards, so he really can't take action against the Du family, so he can only grit his teeth and play Yang Yimeng's identity to the end.
Du Zhou and the others were not as careful as Yun Xi, but under his careful cover-up, they never suspected it.
Thinking of this, Yun Xi couldn't help sighing, as the saying goes, a lie needs a thousand lies to cover up, one wrong step, one wrong step.For the initial obsession, Du Yiming could only gradually walk towards the cliff.
Yun Xi looked at Mo Yan and said, "If Du Yiming's assassination of me is exposed, will Mo Yang be exposed?"
She didn't want to see Du Yiming shamelessly begging herself for help as a father in the future, and she didn't want the world to oppress her with the so-called filial piety.If this matter breaks out, Du Yiming will stop talking about it.
Mo Yan said: "This is not a problem. It just so happens that a traitor from Xuemeimen escaped recently and took away a lot of information. It is understandable for the information to leak out."
Yun Xi understands, which means that Mo Yang has already found the backer.Good, she can give it a go.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Yun Xi felt that she intended to meet Yang Lishi once.
