Chapter 17 Section 17

"Grandma Kui, you also have to think about our uncle. Haven't you harmed him enough? If you say that you can really live with our uncle for the rest of your life, there is something to be said, but unfortunately it is impossible. Don't just think about your own wishful thinking! Please go back! If you insist on not leaving, you will harm the uncle and yourself, why bother? Let me tell you the truth, our uncle will never want you again, why? You have caused such a big disaster, do you think he still dares to provoke you? If he dares, it will be useless if the prince does not allow it."

This is too much to say.Shanfu just wanted to drive her away and anger her away, so he didn't leave any space for his words. He didn't think that Grandma Kui could bear it or not? So, after Shanfu left, Grandma Kui shed tears and checked the jewelry and playthings Jae Cheng gave her.Seeing that she had a different look, Xiaoyun couldn't help being afraid, and timidly came to inquire about it. "Grandma," she asked, "what are you doing? Are you packing up and going home?" "Where is my home? Where should I go back?" Grandma Kui sighed dismally, "Cough! How can I show face to others?"

This is to say that Wuyan sees Zhaokui's family.Xiaoyun also knows about personnel, so he can naturally understand Grandma Kui's situation.Put yourself in her place and think about it, she left her husband's house for no reason, and now she goes to defect for no reason, even if the whole family doesn't say anything, when she walks in front of people, she always feels that she owes them something and can't hold her head up .Of course you can't go back. However, Uncle Cheng's house doesn't want her anymore, Xiaoyun was thinking, why not go back to her mother's house?

Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help asking. Grandma Kui sighed, and hesitated to speak, because Xiaoyun couldn't understand what she said.My mother's family is in Sichuan, not to mention the long distance, my father and brother did not forgive me for doing such a shameful thing, and my sister-in-law ridiculed me. The only mother who could forgive me died long ago.The taste of going back to her mother's house is probably more difficult than going back to her husband's house. "Oh, you don't understand." She shook her head, "Go to sleep and don't bother me."

Hearing this, Xiaoyun didn't dare to disturb him any more, and let him go to sleep.When I woke up, it was already five o'clock, and everyone in the banner got up early.Fearing that he would be deaf, he delayed waiting for the grandma to get up, so he rushed there in a panic, opened the door and looked, and was so frightened that grandma Kui's body was hanging on the railing of the bed. "It's terrible!" Shouting sharply, the guard servants were alarmed, and they rushed over, only to see Xiaoyun's expression turned pale, and then he burst into tears, pointing inward with one hand.When Grandma Kui was untied, her body was already cold and stiff.

"Such a mistake!" Shanfu stumbled, "This is getting worse!" He didn't dare to tell Prince Gong about this.Shanfu knew that he was in trouble, so he came up with an idea in a hurry, went to the stable to pick a fast horse, rode it, and went straight to the Zongren Mansion to find Zuo Si, the director of the Zongren Mansion, Lin Jun, the second division of the left and right divisions , the genealogy of the left and right wing clans and Jueluo are divided, and the children are registered as concubines; birth, death and marriage;Zhaokui belongs to Zhengbai Banner and belongs to Zuo Si, which is why Shanfu came to find Linjun.

After listening to what happened, Lin Jun said "tsk, tsk", "I already knew that there would be news. We don't dare to care about the affairs of the mansion, and Zhaokui himself doesn't say anything, so we are even more happy to ignore it. Now," he said Shaking his head, "It will be troublesome if someone dies, I'm afraid I can't manage it if I want to!" "I also know the trouble." Shanfu greeted him: "Fourth Master, it's all on you. When it's done, I'll go back with the prince. " Hearing this, Lin Jun's spirit was lifted, and he took care of this trouble, and Prince Gong would definitely see it.Others couldn't find such an opportunity to curry favor, so why did I push it out instead?

So he patted his chest and said, "Okay, who told us that our friendship is enough? It's all on me." Shanfu was overjoyed, "Fourth Master," he asked, "What should I do here?" "You don't have to worry about it." Lin Jun said again: "Just take that little girl away and deal with it well, so as not to save her from talking." Shanfu understands, this is a way of pretending to be confused, just take Xiaoyun away, ask three questions, and Lin Jun will get his hands out of it. Sure enough, Lin Jun had another trick.First of all, I visited Zhaokui, and the first sentence was: "I heard that Grandma Kui has gone back to her mother's house. Mr. Kui, why don't you send someone to report?"

Zhaokui sighed: "Where did she go back to her natal family? Her natal family is in Sichuan." "Where did you go, then?" Grandma Kui's whereabouts, how can I tell my husband?Zhaokui is honest, not good at hesitating, blushing, and it took him a long time to answer: "The scandal in our family, brother Lin, don't you know?" "I don't know!" Lin Jun pretended to be very similar, and said with an emphasis: "I really don't know." "You don't even know about such a thing!" Zhaokui hesitated for a while, then called Hao Shun who was serving on the porch, "Tell Fourth Master Lin about Grandma."

Hao Shun, who came, spoke in detail, while Lin Jun listened carefully.While listening, there are still many frowning and shaking of the head. "This is so strange!" Lin Jun said to Zhao Kui, "According to the rules, it won't happen. I heard that Liu Ye locked Cheng Bei Le in his study." "It's for this." "Oh! That said, Master Liu is quite understanding." "Yeah, I don't blame Sixth Master either." When Zhaokui said this, Lin Jun was half relieved.Gathering his mind, he put on an air of great confusion, and then said slowly: "Grandpa Kui, it looks a bit real."

"what?" "Someone came to report that someone in Dongcheng had hanged himself, and it was said that it was Grandma Kui from the house..." Before he finished speaking, Zhaokui opened his eyes and asked eagerly, "Is it her?" "I don't believe it either, so I came here to ask. Now that the housekeeper said it, it seems to be true." Zhaokui sat down and remained silent for a long while, with complex expressions on his face, one part sad, the other part happy. Finally, he nodded and said, "It's fine to die, it's clean!" "That's right!" Lin Jun said immediately, "The reputation of the family is important, and things like this should never be publicized. Now, let's discuss about taking care of Grandma Kui's funeral." "It's going to take your troubles, anyway, I didn't bring the corpse home! Besides, it's such a person." "Yes! Of course, I have to take care of it. I will obey what Lord Kui says. But—as usual, I have to ask Lord Kui to write a newspaper." "Yes!" Zhaokui shouted, "Hao Shun." He called Hao Shun in and told him to know the truth.Hao Shun seemed hesitant, but he quickly recovered, and asked Lin Jun, "Please show me, fourth master, how should I repay the Dharma?" "Let's just say that he fell ill and died." "Yes!" Hao Shun replied, "Fourth Master, please go back first. We've finished our business, and we'll send it to the Secretary right away." Lin Jun was very satisfied and very proud. He never thought that such a big event would be settled so easily. He was anxious to show his merits, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he left in a hurry. "Master! How can this be reported?" Hao Shun showed disapproval. "Why can't you report it?" "A newspaper isn't too cheap for them?" Zhaokui suddenly realized. "Ah, I didn't think of it." He asked: "Then, why did you promise him just now?" Hao Shun felt that this old man was so honest and useless that he didn't even understand such a plan to delay the attack.At that time, if the color of his words was a little unruly, Lin Jun would definitely force him to write the "funeral report". In ordinary prefecture and county yamen, even "one word enters the public door, and nine bulls can't be pulled out", let alone Lin Jun's purpose in coming here is to I want to shirk responsibility for Cheng Baylor.To get the funeral note is to absolve Cheng Baylor of the crime, I'm afraid the words will be different immediately. After his explanation, Zhao Kui finally came to his senses.However, although I have full reasons for this, the other party really can't touch it. Thinking about it, I still really don't know how to deal with it? "Master!" Hao Shun couldn't help but say, "We must ask the second master to come forward in this matter. In my opinion, let's talk about it after the second master is invited!" There is no need to send someone to invite, Zhaorun has already got the news and rushed over.As soon as they arrived, they first heard Hao Shun tell the story of Lin Jun's visit, and then the two brothers had something to talk about that was not humane. "Brother," Zhao Run remained calm, "This matter can be big or small, it depends on what you want first." How could Zhaokui come up with an idea!At the same time, he didn't know what it would be like if things got bigger?So I just sucked in my breath and couldn't answer. "There are some people in this banner who are not fair. If the eldest brother has no words or actions, our family will not be able to hold our heads up in the future." "It turned out to be so embarrassing to throw home." Zhaokui said with a sad face, "I promised to release a deputy governor, but I said I would go to Guangzhou, and I agreed. Who knows, there has been no news. Now, of course, there is no need to talk about it. " Zhaorun was deeply surprised and dissatisfied at the same time, it turned out that there was such a twist at the beginning!Dirty planting bad mang Palpit beard beat Wuke Lu drop also Huai brake model  drop scum not valley Xiandu father play  toad 軱 蛱  蛱   ⒁ color choke rose Mo O Zhong Zhong  窭 Crane Yong trip  Huai] Blink? The last sentence provoked Zhaokui into a temper, "I can't finish the calculation!" He raised his voice and said, "We have to settle this account." "It will be easy if the eldest brother is willing to stand out. There is someone in front of us who is willing to fight for us." "Who is it?" "Brother De San." The "Third Brother De" in Zhaorun's mouth is named De Ji, who belongs to the same Zhengbai Banner as them, and was born in Yin, and was appointed Yushi by a member. Being a hero, he has long been dissatisfied with Zai Cheng, and wanted to use his own power to participate in the impeachment, but someone persuaded him, saying that it is difficult for outsiders to find out about the scandal, and Zhaokui himself does not speak up, so why use others to come forward?There is no clear text of "referring to adultery" in the law, so we can't think that "gossip" means that we can have no scruples.As soon as this fold is mentioned, it must be a decree for Zaicheng and Zhaokui to "understand the answer".If Zhaokui is cowardly and has reached a compromise with Zaichen, or if his family ugliness is unwilling to publicize, and the replay is fine, then as a result of impeachment, he will be punished instead. Why bother? After calm consideration, De Ji thought that this was very reasonable, and heeded the advice.But now the situation is different. It is a fact that Grandma Kui hanged herself, and it is also a fact that she did not die in her own home.So why this?What's wrong with it?The censor should naturally be held accountable. Speaking of this, Hao Shun, who was standing and listening quietly, couldn't help it anymore, stepped forward, and interjected, "Second Master, those are all masters that you can't mess with. Once the script is written, it will only be bad for us, not good. Uncle, second master, please think about it, first, investigate and deal with according to the order, speaking of it, our family lacks such an upright master, there is something wrong with not saying a word; , it was not our idea; third, even though the old man moved the capital, it has nothing to do with us, after all, it is a grudge. The sixth master is also very angry about this matter, so we can't blame the sixth master, we can't afford to have a grudge with him. Besides... ..." At this point, Hao Shun stopped. He had been speaking calmly, but suddenly stopped talking, which would be a hindrance to his mouth.Zhaokui didn't want to ask, but Zhaorun refused to let it go, "Why don't you go on?" He urged, "Your knowledge is quite good, let's talk about it!" Encouraged, Hao Shun felt more like a bone stuck in his throat, took two steps, and said in a low voice, "In terms of the first half, it's my fault, and the second half is my grandma's fault, and I've already agreed to let him go. Grandma refuses to go home. Now that this incident happened, the criticism from outsiders must be hard to hear." "Why is it ugly?" "I dare not say." "Hey!" Zhaorun was a little impatient, "What's there to be taboo about when things are crowded to this place?" "Then, then I'll say it." Hao Shun swallowed, "Outsiders must say that, you can't blame them, Grandma Kui voluntarily. Just look, she would rather die than go home. You can imagine the strength of Chu Baylor." These words made Zhaokui unable to lift his head, but Zhaorun nodded repeatedly, and humbly asked for advice: "Then, what should you do if you come up with an idea?" "If you don't pay it back, why don't you ask Fifth Lord to decide?" King Dun sent someone to negotiate with Zhaorun and was willing to give him benefits. This matter was hidden from Zhaokui's master and servant. Hao Shun only knew that the second master had filed a complaint with King Dun and it was valid, so he made this suggestion.Zhaorun thought to himself, this is also a way, but if there is any benefit, he has to give it to Zhaokui first, but he seems unwilling. "Master," Hao Shun advised the master again, "it is only appropriate to ask the second master to come forward for this kind of matter. Why don't you go and hide there?" Zhaokui thought the last sentence was very pleasant, and at the same time, he was reminded that few people know about the news of Grandma Kui's suicide. Once it spreads, there must be close relatives and friends who come to express their condolences, and it is impossible to ask. It's hard to say, the comfort is hard to say, both the host and the guest will feel extremely embarrassed, it's better to escape as soon as possible. "By the way, I really can't stand it anymore! I have to find a place to raise my baby." The cemetery of Zhaokui's family is in Xiangshan: "I'm going to live in Xiangshan for a while. Here, you can discuss it with the second master!" So Hao Shun secretly discussed with Zhao Run, the first thing is to take over what Grandma Kui left behind, because it is conceivable, Zai Li spends money like water, and Grandma Kui is favored again, so naturally take over for her Buy a lot of jewelry. With this plan, the matter must be settled peacefully, otherwise the relic cannot be accepted.Therefore, they decided to split things up. Hao Shun and Lin Jun went to meet up to prepare for the funeral, Zhao Run went to sue, wrote a letter, and the next morning in front of Prince Dun's mansion, he stopped the sedan chair and handed it up. It was dim in the sedan chair, and the handwriting could not be seen clearly, so Zhaorun's letter was read only when he arrived at the court room.King Dun was deeply surprised that he didn't know that Grandma Kui committed suicide.As the Zong Ling, he was not allowed to stand still when discussing official affairs, so he asked Lin Jun, the director of Zuo Si, to question him. "It's not good to see this incident, I have already arranged it." Lin Jun replied very easily. "I didn't ask you how to arrange it." King Dun asked, "Why did Zhaokui's woman hang herself?" "Being reluctant to part with Cheng Baylor, the Sixth Prince insisted on letting her go home. She refused, so she had no choice but to take a dead end." "According to what you say, it's not good to run the family too strictly!" Seeing that King Dun had a sullen face, Lin Jun realized that he was not careful in speaking, as if he was saying that King Gong had forced Grandma Kui to death, and King Dun, who was also his father, would naturally be unhappy. So he said vigilantly: "The sixth prince is different from the prince. The prince has always managed his family with laws, but he is a little stricter. Everyone knows that the prince has a temper. He is very careful and will not complain behind his back. The sixth prince usually doesn't care much. All of a sudden, Grandma Kui must have thought that she was deliberately trying to get along with her, and she would hang herself because she couldn't think about it. This is also true." This explanation makes sense, and invisibly puts a high hat on King Dun.So he nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "How did you arrange it?" "Gong Kui's family reported a funeral, and his family found a place to hold the funeral by themselves. Cheng Baylor sent a funeral ceremony of 10,000 silver." "Hmph!" King Dun was quite contemptuous, and said outrightly: "Zhaokui sold his wife for ten thousand silver." "Selling your wife" is true, but it is more than ten thousand silver.With Linjun in the middle, Shanfu negotiated with Hao Shun all night, and at dawn, when Zhaorun went to hand in the letter, a reconciliation agreement was reached: Grandma Kui's jewelry and clothing belonged to Zhaokui's family, and another 10,000 silver was given away.In fact, only half of it is given, and the other half belongs to Linjun and Shanfu.Grandma Kui's relics are worth two to thirty thousand taels of silver, so Zhaokui has made a fortune. "Look! Now that it's been arranged, why is there another thing like this?" After receiving Zhaorun's letter from King Dun, Lin Jun took a look at it and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Leave it to me, my lord. I'll return it to him." Zhaokui's family was fine, but there was an unexpected incident. That "Master" De Ji was encouraged by the people from Prince Chun's side, and planned to "touch" Prince Gong.King Gong knew about this and was worried, so Boyan Namoqian talked to him about the discovery of gunpowder in the ceiling of Changchun Palace, and he said without hesitation: "It must be the tricks of those eunuchs. If you pursue him strictly, you will definitely be able to find out the truth!"
