Yang Xiaoyu came out of the study with a gloomy look on his face. He originally wanted to go out to find friends for a drink and have fun, but he was stopped halfway by the family, saying that the first assistant had an order, and the young master was not allowed to leave the house these days.
Yang Xiaoyu was even more unhappy. If you can't go outside to find a woman, then you can only choose a reasonable one at home. Yang Xiaoyu chooses back and forth in his heart. He has too many women, and he can't distinguish several faces.
Yang Xiaoyu couldn't remember clearly, so he just thought about going to the thin horse in Yangzhou that his friend gave him some time ago. The skinny horses that are specially reared are really different, no matter whether they are in bed or under the bed, their kung fu is excellent. He was in a bad mood at the moment, so he just went to them to vent.
Yang Xiaoyu thought like this, just after passing through the Moon Gate, a maid was hiding behind the door, and when she saw him, she quickly chased after him: "Master!"
Yang Xiaoyu turned around and saw this maid, she really couldn't remember who it was. He couldn't even tell the concubines, let alone the maids of these concubines.
"Who are you?"
The little maid seemed to be a little afraid of him, and said timidly, "This servant is to serve Miss Shao, and Miss Shao wants to invite you over."
Hearing this surname, Yang Xiaoyu was somewhat impressed. Yang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, he himself is fairly fair and handsome, but he has been indulging in alcohol all year round, his eyes are swollen, his steps are frivolous, and his whole person's temperament is also airy: "Isn't she very chaste, why, also think of men. ?"
These words had some nasty meaning, the maid did not dare to offend the young master, and lowered her head more deeply: "I don't know, the servant girl, Shao girl sent the slave to find the young master..."
"What girl?" Yang Xiaoyu closed the fan and walked in the other direction with his sleeves turned, "It's all blooming, where is the girl?"
Shao Zi basically didn't touch anything to eat today, her complexion was so bad, she had to smear herself with rouge on both sides of her cheeks. She sat in front of the vanity mirror and stared at the person in the mirror without blinking for a long time.
After an unknown period of time, the light in the room gradually dimmed, and the maid outside suddenly shouted "Young Master is here", Shao Zi was stunned for a moment, and slowly recovered.
Yang Xiaoyu had already opened the curtain and came in. When he entered the room, he frowned and said in disgust, "Why is it so dark?"
Shao Zi stood up, knelt to the door, lowered her neck deeply and said, "It's the slave who forgot to light the lamp, the slave is wrong."
Although Yang Xiaoyu thought that Shao Zi was deserted here, it was a beautiful thing to see the beauty kneeling on the ground in the haze, meekly showing her white neck. Yang Xiaoyu smiled, approached and patted Shao Zi's face with a fan: "Aren't you very fierce before? You showed a chaste woman and a heroic woman, and it seems that I have wronged you. Why don't you pretend now?"
Shao Zi lowered her head more deeply: "It was the slave family who wanted to be left earlier, please forgive me, young master."
Yang Xiaoyu laughed and sat on the stool in front of Shao Zi with her legs facing Shao Zi's face: "Why do you ask me to forgive you?"
Shao Zi was stiff for a long time, and sent the maid to withdraw. She slowly knelt down and climbed between Yang Xiaoyu's legs and reached out to undo his waistband.
Yang Xiaoyu has not been able to leave the house for the past few days, and is very tired of staying at home all day long. Fortunately, the girl who had been captured earlier was knowledgeable and took the initiative to put down her worth to please him. He did everything he wanted to do. Yang Xiaoyu was very comfortable to be served. Although these live and thin horses would be better, it is good to be skilled and skilled, and there is also the beauty of being young. Shao Zi's skills are still poor, but the satisfaction it brings to Yang Xiaoyu is endless.
After coming here so many times, Yang Xiaoyu felt that this woman was not bad. What he grabbed was different from what others gave. If it wasn't for Shao Zi's outstanding looks, he would have noticed it on the street at a glance, and he wouldn't have spent so much effort trying to get Shao Zi back several times.
After the incident, Yang Xiaoyu lay on the bed and pointed at Shao Zi with satisfaction: "The ventriloquism is clumsy, thanks to your face, otherwise, this young master wouldn't be too lazy to come to you. Sisi in another courtyard can live much better than you. already."
Shao Zi lowered her head and said nothing. Yang Xiaoyu commented on the performance of various women on the bed, surging tiredly, yawned and said, "You still have to study diligently in the future, otherwise there are so many women, why would you leave the master to come to you? I said, you can climb on my ancestral grave and smoke. Look at the rouge clothes you have here, which one is the most common? Just take a box of rouge, and you can earn more money than your family in half a year. You know my aunt It is the queen mother, the aunt is the queen, the grandfather is the first assistant, and the father is also the fourth-rank servant. No matter how big the fireworks field is in the whole capital, as long as the young master appears, no one dares to snatch it from the young master. No matter how loud the mad dogs outside, Have we scraped off our Yang family? Not at all. My aunt is still the queen, and my grandfather is still in charge of the court. They are asking for orders and impeachment. I am just hiding at home for two days. The young master is still the first person in the capital with a beautiful scenery."
Yang Xiaoyu seemed to be really sleepy, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "So you will never lose money by following me. As long as you serve me well, I can ignore the trouble you caused me during this period of time. , don't worry about my mother and my grandmother, they won't treat you with me. Look at how good the young master is to you, you will follow him, and there will be many good days in the future. It's better for you to give the little one If you give birth to a seed, it must be a boy. Maybe you can be a mother-in-law to the princess in the future. My cousin is already the princess of Shou, and she will be the queen in the future. I will tell her that maybe I can marry a princess. "
"Forget it, the princess is too troublesome. With my cousin's personality, the princess she taught may not be exactly what it will look like. Then it's better to have another daughter and become the king."
Yang Xiaoyu murmured and slowly fell asleep. When he said these words, Shao Zi was lying on the side, just shut up and listened. After Yang Xiaoyu didn't move for a long time, Shao Zi stood up and called softly, "Master?"
Yang Xiaoyu didn't respond, she called again, slowly crawled to the foot of the bed, and took out a long belt.
"Are you good to me?" Shao Zi sneered, she just finished serving Yang Xiaoyu and was completely clueless, but now she is sitting on the bed and has no plans to put on clothes for herself, "No matter how rich you are, what about the Yang family? What about the power? You killed my brother and still want me to have a baby for you?"
Shao Zi got out of bed without an inch, wrapping the belt around Yang Xiaoyu's neck and wrapping it tightly around the bedpost. She had already tried it herself, and knew how to tie the knot tightly, where the bedpost was hard, and where the angle could not break free.
The belt tightened little by little, Yang Xiaoyu felt difficulty in exhaling, and woke up suddenly, he found that his neck was restrained, and the whole person was stunned. He grabbed the belt with his hands, trying to untangle the knot around his neck. Taking advantage of the little space between his fingers, Yang Xiaoyu said with difficulty, "I'm so kind to you, how dare you kill me?"
Shao Zi's emotions suddenly became agitated, and she said, "You are a murderer, no matter how rich, good-looking, or good you are to me, how can you compare to the kindness of your parents and brothers? How can I fall in love with my enemy? I want Kill you and avenge your brother!"
As Shao Zi said that, he tightened the belt even harder. Yang Xiaoyu struggled several times, and even hit Shao Zi's head with something beside the bed. However, Shao Zi would not let go of the hand holding the belt no matter what. Yang Xiaoyu's struggle gradually weakened, until she was still motionless, Shao Zi seemed to be stunned, and she squeezed hard for a long time, until her hands were rubbed off, and she could no longer hold the belt, and she lost her strength. fell to the ground.
Shao Zi stared blankly at her bloody hand, and suddenly laughed and cried: "Brother, I avenged you. Father, mother, daughter is not filial, and I will repay your kindness in the next life."
The next day, the maid called for face wash and called several times outside, but there was no movement inside. The maid was impatient, pushed the door open, and when she looked up, a corpse was dangling in front of her.
On the table, there was a bloody rag, which was torn from Yang Xiaoyu's body. I don't know whose blood was used on it, and it said "Kill your life".
The maid was so frightened that she screamed out. Shao Zi killed Yang Xiaoyu, and the news that he was hanged by the beam quickly spread throughout the Yang family. The Yang family was struck by lightning, and Yang Xiaoyu's biological mother fainted when she heard the news. The Yang family was busy calling the imperial doctor and crying for the young master. Not long after, Yang Shoufu heard another bad news.
The news that Yang Xiaoyu was strangled to death reached the ears of Empress Dowager Yang for some reason. Empress Dowager Yang immediately vomited blood, and her condition worsened.
Two people in the Yang family died, and Yang Shoufu immediately issued a gag order, but the scandal spread quickly. It took only half a day of work, and everyone knew that there was a lot of trouble in the city.
When the people on the street heard it, they spit angrily on the ground and cursed, "Shit!"
The parents of the Shao family almost cried to the ground. They were cautious and diligent all their lives. They didn't even dare to quarrel with others, but they encountered this kind of thing. One son and one daughter passed away one after another, and the father of the Shao family completely lost his life and took people to Jingzhaoyin to beat drums and complain about his grievances.
Shao Jiaming's injustice was quickly spread to the court, and Shao Zi's blood letter "killing for life" left behind when he died, also became a lingering shadow. Over the years, the capital had never encountered such a case, and some old-fashioned officials were almost mad. An old minister took off his official uniform the next day and went to court in civilian clothes. After seeing the emperor, he bowed his head and knelt down, saying: "Killing a life is a matter of course. This minister is fighting to avoid this old life today, I beg you. Your Majesty will dispose of Yang Shoufu and remove the harm for the people!"
Intermittently, many people followed suit. The atmosphere in the early morning was very solemn. Finally, the emperor looked at Li Chengjing: "Prince, what do you think?"
Li Chengjing took a step forward, bowed slightly to the emperor with his hands together, and said solemnly: "I think that the majesty of the state law cannot be violated, and that everything should be dealt with according to the law."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Then according to what the prince said, Dali Temple is involved in Yang Xiaoyu's case, and it will be dealt with according to the law after investigation."
The old minister who was kneeling on the ground stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is holy. However, Yang Fucheng is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and his disciples are all over the court and the opposition. If he secretly puts pressure on Dali Temple, who would dare to investigate?"
Yang Fucheng did not speak with a sullen face. He had reached the age of knowing his destiny, but at this age he suffered the death of his only grandson. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and Yang Fucheng was hit hard. In the past few days, his hair has been half gray, and he has no energy to care about the outside world. However, the outside wind and rain were pressing step by step, Yang Fucheng's face was tight, and he came out: "This minister has a clear conscience, and everything is subject to His Majesty's arrangements, please Your Majesty's inspection."
The emperor nodded and said: "Yang Shoufu has worked hard and made a lot of achievements in recent years, and has made a lot of contributions to the court. He will not do things for personal gain. Yang Shoufu has just lost his grandson. During this time, he is exhausted. ten days, to avoid suspicion. Dali Temple obeys orders."
"The minister is here."
"Limited to wait for ten days to find out the truth and return the innocence of the first assistant. Prince, Minister of Punishment."
Li Chengjing and the Minister of Punishment came out one after another and said, "The minister obeys the order."
"The two of you assisted Dali Temple in solving the case. The three-party trial, mutual supervision, and no favoritism. Prince, you are the presiding judge of this case, and you will report to me after ten days."
Li Chengjing slowly handed over: "The minister leads the order."
Empress Yang was restlessly waiting for the eunuch to come back from inquiring about the news. When she saw the eunuch running in, Empress Yang hurriedly asked, "How is it? What did your majesty say today?"
The eunuch had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said in a low voice, "Niang Niang, Your Majesty has an order to suspend Lord Yang's position as first assistant."
Empress Yang fell to the ground, and the blood on her body suddenly became cold: "Father has been suspended?"
"Temporarily suspended. After the three divisions of Dali Temple jointly review and find out the truth, they will resume their duties."
"Three Divisions Trial." Empress Yang stroked her forehead, only to feel dizzy in her head, "Who is the presiding judge?"
"His Royal Highness."
The emperor asked the crown prince to try the Yang family case... Empress Yang smiled wryly, is there any difference between trying this case and not trying it? Although the truth is still unclear, the emperor's attitude is very clear.
But now Empress Yang is still sitting in the Kunning Palace, and Dou Xiyin and the second prince can enter the palace normally, indicating that although the emperor is angry, he does not intend to completely overthrow the Yang family. Empress Yang still pinned her hopes and waited for the final result of the trial.
The case of Yang Xiaoyu's death is not difficult to try, but the complicated relationship behind it is difficult. On the fifth day, before the result of Yang Xiaoyu's case came out, someone suddenly sounded the drum of grievance and wanted to sue the imperial court.
The drummer was an old woman, who claimed that she was a palace maid of the Yonghe Dynasty, and was released from the palace five years after Jianwu. This time, she came back at the risk of death to avenge Queen Zhong, who had been dead for 20 years.
The old palace maid's complaint to the imperial court was already sensational enough, but what was even more surprising was that it was still behind.
She took out evidence and said that Empress Zhong's death that year was not a serious illness, and that Empress Zhong's dystocia was not accidental.
"The slaves dared to sue Mrs. Yang, the wife of Yang Shoufu, for murdering the former Queen Zhong."
