On the Thousand Postures Reconstructed by the Scumbags.

This case is actually not difficult to investigate. When Siyun's identity is revealed, the cause of her death will be revealed.The difficulty is how to convict, after all, even though beating and killing slaves in private is against the law, no one will really make a scene out of it.

Mrs. Hong fiddled with the rosary in her hand quickly, her heart was already turbulent, but her face was still calm: "Master Gongsun, why do you explain this? Although my Hong family is not a famous family, but it is also a scholarly generation, I can't tolerate it." Others are so slanderous."

She is a woman in a deep house, she keeps her house behind closed doors, and she has withered and gray hair on her temples, which makes people feel pitiful.The common people didn't know the reason, but they listened to a letter and echoed what others said, and at this time they started whispering again.

"This old lady of the Hong family doesn't look like that vicious person, could it be Master Gongsun who made a mistake."

"Yes, she is an official's wife, why should she have trouble with slaves?"

"It's probably a mistake."

When the common people were talking about it, Gongsun Zhuoyu spoke out at the right time and asked Mrs. Hong: "I came to the door yesterday and asked about Siyun, but you said that there are many maids in the house, and you don't remember this woman. Yes or no?"

Mrs. Hong didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his coffin, so she could only answer coldly: "It is true."

The surrounding people also felt that there was nothing wrong with it. The Hong family was a wealthy family with a lot of maids and servants, how could the master remember them one by one.

Gongsun Zhuoyu crossed his arms, and suddenly felt that the sun today was extremely dazzling: "I heard that the young master died suddenly due to illness, and the old lady was distraught, so she specially invited Taoist priests to recite sutras, right?"

Mrs. Hong became more and more unsure of what he wanted to do, she unconsciously clenched the dove stick in her hand, and when he heard him mentioning her most beloved grandson, her tone finally fluctuated a little, and she said angrily, "So what?!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu looked directly at her: "It's nothing, it's just that when I heard that the young master died suddenly that night, Siyun was serving in the room. You were so angry that you blamed her for not serving her well, and even asked someone to drag her out to slap her." .Could it be that the old lady's memory is really so bad that she forgot what happened a while ago, let alone involving the death of your beloved grandson?!"

This was the first lie Madam Hong uttered. If she pulled out the carrot and brought out the mud, what she said later would naturally lose its credibility.The onlookers looked at her strangely.

Mrs. Hong was still there, and she didn't panic at all: "Oh, Lord Gongsun was talking about that lowly servant girl. I have indeed seen her, but I don't know her name. Because I didn't serve her well, I asked the steward to drag her down and punish her." .”

Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded, seemingly stunned: "But according to the servants in the mansion, Siyun disappeared the next day after being dragged out. Does the old lady know what happened?"

Mrs. Hong made up her mind to keep her mouth shut: "Of course I don't know."

Gongsun Zhuoyu looked at the servant behind her, with serious eyes: "Where is the steward?"

The butler secretly thought that it was unlucky, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and stepped forward tremblingly: "The villain is here, what orders does the lord have?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu asked: "You dragged Siyun down to punish him?"

The steward was sweating profusely: "That's right, after [-] slaps and [-] slaps, then... someone carried her back to the house."

Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't even raise his eyelids, he knew he was lying: "When did you go back?"

The steward stammered, "Yuemo...Yuemo went back at Haishi."

Gongsun Zhuoyu calmly said, "Oh? Who is the maid who lives in the same room as Siyun?"

Hearing the words, the steward looked behind him subconsciously, and called a maidservant in green to come over: "My lord, the maid who lives with Siyun is Sixia."

Si Xia was also terrified, she didn't dare to lift her head, she just bowed her head and said: "I have seen you."

Gongsun Zhuoyu stared at her: "Did Siyun go back to sleep that night?"

Sixia didn't know how to answer, she subconsciously looked at Mrs. Hong, only to see that she was looking at her with cold eyes, she panicked, fell to her knees with a thud, and said with little confidence: "Back... back... "

Gongsun Zhuoyu hissed, and paced back and forth in front of her: "Since you live in the same room, why don't you even know when she left?"

Sixia tightened her handkerchief: "This servant is fast asleep, so I didn't notice..."

Gongsun Zhuoyu saw that her back was already soaked in sweat: "But the steward said just now that Siyun was sent back after taking [-] boards. It must have been bruised and bruised, making it difficult for her to walk. I'm afraid she won't even be able to get out of bed when she is carried back. And how did you leave without anyone noticing?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu squatted in front of Sixia, and said intentionally: "I see that you are hesitating and hawing, and you don't understand what you say. I think there must be ghosts in your heart. I'm afraid that Siyun's death has nothing to do with you. Come, come and tell me." She was taken away, taken to prison, and tortured by the officials!"

His voice was so severe that he lost his soul in shock. Sixia was already scared, but when she heard that he was going to put herself in prison, she cried and kowtowed on the ground: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! This servant lied, this servant lied, Siyun didn't come back that night!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Hong's chest heaved for a moment, and she cursed the lowly servant girl in her heart.

Gongsun Zhuoyu cheated out one, and the second one is naturally easy to cheat, he looked at the steward with blazing eyes: "Siyun has not gone back, why did you say that someone took her back to the house, after all, you are lying, Or did something go wrong with the escort?!"

The housekeeper panicked, na na, he didn't know what to say, Gongsun Zhuoyu stepped forward when he saw this, and pressed him step by step: "Who did you send Siyun back that day, let me find it, if you can't find it, It was you who deliberately lied and sent him directly to the prison for interrogation!"

Recruitment is not new, as long as it is useful.Ordinary people know that the prison is not a good place, and no matter where you go in, you will come out alive.

The steward was sweating profusely on his forehead, and was about to cry.Seeing this, Gongsun Zhuoyu directly pulled him in front of Siyun's corpse, and said in a deep voice: "You then tell Siyun's corpse in one word, what happened that day, if there is even half a lie, Then I will be haunted by wronged souls, and I will not die!"

The steward hurriedly tried to break free, but was pressed so hard by Gongsun Zhuoyu that he couldn't even lift his head up. He got closer, and seemed to be able to smell the rotten smell of Siyun's body.He was so frightened that his shit was running out, tears and snot all over his face: "My lord! My lord! I say I say! Let go, let go!"

Only then did Gongsun Zhuoyu let go of him.

The steward ran away from Siyun's side, slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, then knelt at Gongsun Zhuoyu's feet and cried bitterly: "The villain just followed orders, and that night Siyun was already beaten to death. As she was dying, the old lady ordered me to lock her up in the firewood room, and the next morning the Taoist priests came to give the young master a method of salvation, and took Siyun away, and the rest of the villains didn't know about it..."

He may still know something else, but in order to save his life, he did not dare to speak out.

Seeing that Gongsun Zhuoyu asked more and more questions, Mrs. Hong felt a little flustered, and got up from the chair with a cane: "Master Gongsun, it's just a few servants chasing and biting at random. If you really believe it, wouldn't it be ridiculous!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu sneered: "Look at what the old lady said, servants are human too, how can they not be trusted?!"

After he finished speaking, seeing that the dojo in the mansion had not been withdrawn, he thought that those Taoist priests should still be in the Hong Mansion, so he waved his sleeves and ordered to the servants: "You wait to enter quickly and capture those demon Taoists!"

Mrs. Hong stepped forward, exasperated: "Gongsun Zhuoyu, how dare you—"

Gongsun Zhuoyu rolled up his sleeves, thinking that I am afraid that you, an old hag, will be surprised: "Why don't you dare!"

He stabilized his official hat, and his crimson official robe was dazzlingly red under the scorching sun.Gongsun Zhuoyu stood on the steps, his voice was not loud, but his words were clear, and he said to the onlookers: "Those who make laws and regulations abolish selfishness. The purpose is to abolish private practice. When the law is implemented, private practice must be abolished."

He pointed to Siyun's body and said: "If this woman breaks the law, the Hong family can tell the government to beat or kill or punish her, and follow my Daye law instead of killing at will. The way to make human wax!"

After Gongsun Zhuoyu finished speaking, he turned around and looked directly at the old lady Hong who was trembling with anger: "Your Majesty prays every day for the peace of the world, the peace of the people, and the people in the world to be free from famine and endless toil. Although Siyun is —Jie Numai, but he is also a subject of His Majesty, why can you Hong family disregard their lives and make a poor weak woman into a human wax?! Just because she is just — Jie Numai?!"

But Fan Siyun's death was not so tragic, Gongsun Zhuoyu would not be so angry: "I am the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, who is in charge of public security in the capital. Now that this murder case happened under my jurisdiction, I have the right to find out the cause. Regardless of whether the deceased is poor or poor, Whoever dares to stop the murderer, rich or powerful, will be punished by the law!"

After he finished speaking—with an order, the yamen servant rushed into Hong's mansion aggressively, and within a short while captured all the Taoist priests who did this, bound them and threw them on the ground.

The onlookers heard it with blood, and at the same time they were trembling with anger at what the Hong family had done.That's right, why should the Hong family want to turn a poor, innocent and weak woman into a human body, why!

Gongsun Zhuoyu grabbed the steward's collar and asked him to identify them one by one: "Who were the Taoist priests who took Siyun away, point it out to me, if you can't point it out, I will blame you!"

Even though he was really afraid of this evil spirit, among the Taoist priests in blue clothes, he pointed tremblingly at a man with a goatee and said, "Hui...Master Hui...he is the one who took Siyun away..."

Seeing this, Mrs. Hong fell back into her chair with a thud, her face pale.Immediately, a yamen servant escorted the Taoist priest with the goatee to Gongsun Zhuoyu.The other party was as thin as a hemp stick, with high and thin cheekbones, he didn't look like a good person, his mouth was gagged and he couldn't speak, but when he saw Siyun's dead body beside him, he trembled with fright.

Gongsun Zhuoyu pulled out the sackcloth from his mouth expressionlessly: "You took Siyun away?"

Daoist Goatee widened his eyes and subconsciously looked at Mrs. Hong, but was slapped back by Gongsun Zhuoyu: "I'm asking you, did you take Siyun away?!"

The goatee must have encountered a severe stubble, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, he pointed at Gongsun Zhuoyu tremblingly and said, "You...you..."

The yamen servant put the saber on his neck with a swish: "Say!"

The Taoist priest was startled by the cold iron around his neck, and stammered: "Yes... yes..."

Gongsun Zhuoyu stared at him closely: "What did you do after you took him away?"

The Taoist priest refused to speak, and looked at Mrs. Hong as if asking for help, but she didn't know that she was already in danger.Gongsun Zhuoyu scolded him angrily: "If you don't talk about this official, you will be executed on the spot!"

The yamen servant cooperated and pressed the knife to his neck, with too much force, a faint line of blood appeared.

The Taoist hurriedly raised his hand: "Don't, don't, I say! I say! Poor Dao was ordered by the old lady to make the woman into human wax and kneel in front of the young master's tablet, so as to help him reach bliss early!"

At this remark, everyone was in an uproar. They didn't expect that this matter really had nothing to do with Mrs. Hong!

The yamen servant is also a man of temperament, kicking the Taoist priest to the ground: "Demon!"

Onlookers were yelling at him, and some even spat on him.

Gongsun Zhuoyu let out a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and walked up to the old lady Hong: "I don't know if the old lady has anything else to say?"

Mrs. Hong - her breath was stuck in her throat, she couldn't go up or down, her face was ashen.She forced herself to stand up from the chair, slammed her crutches heavily on the ground, and asked in a cold voice: "Master Gongsun wants to arrest the old man for the sake of being a lowly maid?!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu: "The law of Daye states that the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. Even if His Majesty has done something wrong, he must issue an edict to punish himself. Why can't you arrest me for killing people in your mere Hong family?!"

Mrs. Hong is a married woman, not an ordinary girl in a boudoir. Naturally, she is not so easy to be fooled. She sneered and said, "I did make a mistake, but I didn't report to the government when I killed that servant. At worst, I should pay more money."

Gongsun Zhuoyu's face remained unchanged: "What do you mean by the old lady's words?"

Mrs. Hong folded the rosary in her hand one by one: "If you kill Siyun for no reason, you are indeed breaking the law, but that servant failed to take good care of my grandson, causing him to suddenly catch a cold and die suddenly at night. , even if it is reported to the government, she will not escape the death penalty, even if Lord Gongsun arrests the old body, it will only be a fine of some silver taels."

This is the normal state of aristocratic and wealthy families. After killing the slaves and maidservants, they can be charged with random crimes and passed away. The government will only turn a blind eye and close their eyes.

Mrs. Hong turned her back into the army, and the people were anxious and angry when they saw this, and they secretly scolded her for being extremely shameless.

Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled instead of anger: "The old lady said that it was because Siyun didn't take good care of the young master, which caused him to catch a cold and get sick, so she killed him?"

Mrs. Hong: "So what?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his sleeves, stepped down the steps with his hands behind his back, and said in a loud voice: "No, it's just that I once asked the doctor who saw the young master of your family that night, he obviously died of the horse wind, not the wind chill. , How can this crime be blamed on Siyun, isn’t there no excuse for the crime?!”

"you--!"

Mrs. Hong's complexion changed suddenly, she never thought that Gongsun Zhuoyu would go to investigate this.His eyes widened, his throat throbbed, he couldn't speak a word, and after a long while, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell down on the chair with a pale complexion.

Seeing this, the servants of the Hong Mansion exclaimed: "Old lady!"

"What's wrong with you, old lady!"

"Go get the doctor!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu saw the servants of the Hong Mansion carrying the old lady into the house in a hurry, thinking that the Hong family has been officials for generations, and the eldest daughter of the family is pregnant with dragon descendants. Pick it up, put it down gently, just endure a reprimand.After all, who would have trouble with an old lady who was half buried in the ground.

He stepped down the steps and saw Siyun's body still lying quietly on the ground, and he could vaguely see that she was a beautiful woman before she was born.Not only sighed, but squatted down and gently covered her body with a white cloth.

Gongsun Zhuoyu said to himself: "Girl, I can only go so far. I will have a good pregnancy in my next life and don't be born in this world..."

After he finished speaking, he stood up from the ground and waved his hand to signal for them to carry Siyun away: "Find a good place to bury her."

Siyun has no father or mother, and there is no one to collect the body after death.

The yamen servant asked: "My lord, what should these Taoist priests do?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu said in a cold voice: "Beguiling people with demonic words, of course they will be put in jail and wait for my judge to deal with it."

Seeing this, the surrounding people spontaneously moved out of the way, looking at the young man in the scarlet official robe in the crowd, all with complicated emotions.During the years when Daye established the dynasty, Jing Zhaoyin changed from one to the other, but no official like Gongsun Zhuoyu dared to directly confront the Hong family for the lives of Jieweimo's servants.

I only hope that he can sit in this position for a longer time, everyone thinks so.

When Hong Shilang heard the news and rushed back to the mansion, it was already dark.He only felt that the leak in the house coincided with the continuous night rain, he had just been reprimanded, and this incident happened to his family again, if it spread to the emperor's ears, it would be terrible!

People in the house came and went in a hurry, and Hong Shilang picked him up casually—one person asked, "Where's the old lady?!"

The servant pointed to the inner room and said, "Go back to the master, the old lady is lying inside."

Hong Shilang threw him away and quickly entered the inner room, only to see the old lady lying on the bed weakly: "Mother!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Hong managed to pull herself together, and sat up with the help of her maid: "Dezhang..."

Hong Shilang supported her: "Mother! How is mother?!"

Mrs. Hong clenched his hand tightly: "I just vomited blood pretendingly, otherwise that Gongsun Zhuoyu would probably keep pestering me endlessly. Go and deliver a letter to the nobleman in the palace, and she must let her take care of us Hong The family upholds justice!"

Hong Shilang stomped his feet and sighed: "Mother, don't you know that the nobleman has already been reprimanded by the emperor and is in a dire situation, how can we help us!"

The old lady stared wide-eyed, panting heavily: "Could it be that Gongsun Zhuoyu bullied us?!"

Lord Hong sighed repeatedly: "Mother, I told you not to listen to those Taoist priests, now that you have caused trouble, just make peace with it. Tomorrow I will ask His Majesty for mercy, don't mention this matter again."

Mrs. Hong wanted to say more, but Mr. Hong didn't want to listen any more. He pressed her hand and said, "Mother, please take care of yourself. I have something to do. I'll go back to the study first."

After finishing speaking, he asked his servants to take good care of her, then turned and left.

Mrs. Hong was already depressed, but now she is even more depressed.All the servants and servants in the room were silent when they saw this, which showed that they also hated her very much on weekdays.It was still the big servant girl who came close to her and patted her chest: "Madam, it's getting late, you should rest early, if you are angry, I will talk to the master tomorrow."

The old lady could only nod.

Seeing this, the servant girl gently lowered the bed curtain, and slowly retreated out.

Autumn is rainy.It was still a sunny day during the day, but at night suddenly there were lightning and thunder.The old lady was awakened by the noise of the rain, and her mouth felt parched again. She wanted to call the servant girl to come in and pour water, but no one answered, so she could only get out of bed in the dark.

There were no candles in the room, so the old lady took out a fire pocket from the drawer, trying to light some wax.Unexpectedly, at this time, a burst of thunder suddenly struck, and even the room suddenly lit up for a moment.

She drank the medicine today, her mind was already tired, and she was frightened by Siyun's death, and in a trance, she saw a female corpse kneeling in the corner and smiling at her, her hands were shaking, and she backed away in panic.

The old lady exclaimed: "Come on! Come on!"

The roar of thunder drowned out her old cry.

There was a soft carpet on the floor, Mrs. Hong was inconvenient in her legs and feet, she staggered back, unexpectedly she tripped and fell to the ground screaming. ——The heavy bronze sparrow candlestick was brought down by her waving her hands indiscriminately, and fell on her body with a clatter.

"prick--"

Hearing a sharp sound of cutting the fabric, the old lady suddenly fell silent.

Another burst of thunder flashed, and the room lit up for a moment.I saw that the pointed beak of the bronze bird candlestick was impartial, and it just stabbed Mrs. Hong in the back, and a red candle that was more than half burned rolled to the ground, gradually congealing into a ball with the blood.

"What? Dead?"

In the early morning of the next day, when Gongsun Zhuoyu was worried about how to deal with the old lady of the Hong family, he suddenly heard the news of her passing away, and was quite surprised.

Wen Zhongqing stood under the hall, and when he cupped his hands, he showed more sincere respect than usual: "My lord, I heard that he was drinking water at night, so he tripped over the candlestick and was crushed to death."

Reincarnation is the law of heaven, and retribution is not good.Mrs. Hong made Siyun into human wax, and now the karma is also on her.

Gongsun Zhuoyu sighed inexplicably: "Forget it, save me - worry, remember to bury Siyun well."

Wen Zhongqing subconsciously asked: "My lord, who will pay for this money?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu touched his sleeves, and only pulled out a few pitiful taels.It's all because of his cheap mouth, last time he said he wanted to go whoring, but Du Lingchun took all the money back, and discussed with Wen Zhongqing: "How about...how about the two of us sharing some?"

Wen Zhongqing swallowed: "My lord, how do we spread?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu thought for a while, and made a "two" with his left hand, and a three with his right hand: "I will give you three taels, and you will give you 20 taels."

# This is not called stall, this is called grab! #

Wen Zhongqing stepped back in small steps: "My lord, my subordinates have a clean sleeve and a poor family."
