On the night when Xue Huaiyuan sued Princess Yongning, a major incident occurred in Yanjing City. Early in the morning, the princess's house was surrounded by officers and soldiers. Although the same was true before, as early as the day, the belongings in the princess mansion were counted and cleaned up, and there was nothing in it. However, the noise at night still attracted the attention of people living nearby.
The sunlight in the morning could hardly conceal the bloody atmosphere at the gate of the princess mansion. From time to time, the officers and soldiers carried out one after another, some of them were already dead, and the bodies began to stinks. Some are still alive, but they are bloody, they don't know their true colors, and there is no good skin or flesh on their bodies.
There were more and more people onlookers, and the officers and soldiers could not drive them away. Therefore, the whole Yanjing city was spread before midday. Princess Yongning, the sister who became a king, actually set up a private prison in her princess mansion, which was full of people who provoked Princess Yongning. Princess Yongning imprisoned these people in her own house and used all kinds of cruel methods to torture them. The people who passed the message said vividly, even the instruments of torture they brought out were not forgotten. Those who spoke straightforwardly also felt a chill in their back.
I heard that among those imprisoned by Princess Yongning, some of them turned out to be officials of the imperial court. Of course, the official position should not be too high, otherwise it would not be so obscure. The most important thing is that among the people imprisoned by Princess Yongning, there is actually the daughter of the first assistant of the dynasty, the third lady of the Jiang family.
As soon as this rumor came out, the matter became a big deal, and the rumor went away almost immediately, and it could not be stopped. Although Miss Jiang San’s biological mother Ji Shuran gave birth to Jiang Youyao because of an affair, Jiang Yuanbai did not admit it. It can be seen that Jiang Youyao is still the third young lady of the Jiang family anyway. The daughter of the first assistant is different from ordinary people. No matter how courage the Princess Yongning is, she always has to worry about one or two points for the first assistant of the dynasty. But I heard that when Ms. Jiang San was rescued, she was already crazy, and an eyeball was dug out, describing it as horrible.
People talked about this one after another. Firstly, they said that Princess Yongning's methods were really cruel, and they didn't put the emperor in their eyes. When the first emperor was alive, no courtiers were allowed to set up prisons privately. Princess Yongning, as a princess, behaved in this way, which shows that Emperor Hong Xiao was not taken seriously. Secondly, I don’t know how the third lady of the Jiang family provoke Princess Yongning so that she was treated so harshly by Princess Yongning? Like an ordinary contradiction, the small punishment and the big admonition are to goug a woman's eyeballs in this way, and it is clear that she does not want the other party to live.
I heard that the first assistant Jiang Yuanbai rushed to the princess's mansion personally after learning about it, and had already taken Jiang Youyao back to the mansion. At the same time, he immediately entered the palace to see the emperor.
Jiang Shoufu is not an ordinary person, and his daughter was killed in such a situation, he must ask for an explanation. Don't say it's just a princess Yongning, even if Jiang Youyao is a prince, Jiang Yuanbai has to ask for an explanation.
Previously, Xue Huaiyuan sued Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong for conspiring to kill his wife and annihilate his heirs. Later, Jiang Yuanbai asked the emperor to avenge justice for his daughter. , I think this time, these two people will not be able to retreat completely. Of course, committing such a heinous crime is too numerous to read. If it can be avoided, God will not look down upon it.
Regardless of the rumors outside, Jiang Li, Jiang Li is still calm.
Last night, people from Guogong's Mansion placed a smoked bamboo in the private cell of Princess Mansion, which alarmed the officers and soldiers who watched the night. The officers and soldiers thought that there was an assassin. They rushed over to take a look, but they saw the private prison with a wide open door. They were taken aback and reported to the court overnight. Early this morning, the court sent people to check again and saw all kinds of torture in the private cell, as well as dying prisoners who were tortured.
Among this group of prisoners, one person was particularly conspicuous because he was wearing bright jewelry around his neck. At first glance, it was not something ordinary people could wear, but it seemed to be a tribute from the palace. The officer in charge of the search was taken aback, thinking that this was an important person, and quickly rescued the person alone. When he wiped his face, a guard who accompanied him recognized it. Although an eyeball was dug out, the cup The rescued woman turned out to be Jiang Shoufu’s former jewel in the palm, Jiang Youyao, the third lady of the Jiang family!
The people in the government secretly knew about Jiang Youyao's disappearance a few days ago. Jiang Yuanbai has not given up sending people to search for it, but it is a pity that he has returned without success. People who know the inside story of the government think that either Jiang Youyao is very ill-fated, or he has already left Yanjing City. He didn’t expect to see him in the private prison of Princess Yongning. People have informed the capital and auxiliary government.
When Jiang Yuanbai heard the news, he hurried over. When he saw Jiang Youyao, he shed tears in front of everyone and took Jiang Youyao back to the house. Only on this side did I hear that he had found a doctor, and on the other side, I heard that Jiang Yuanbai entered with a calm face. The palace went, and I wanted to ask Emperor Hong Xiao to give an explanation.
I'm sorry to see you, the third lady of the Jiang family will be better in the future, I am afraid that this life will also be ruined.
"Go and see her." Jiang Li stood up and said.
"Isn't the old lady not letting you go?" Tonger said, "It is said that the third lady is not very good now, for fear of scaring you."
"Nothing." Jiang Li said, "If I don't go, I will be vocal."
Jiang Li heard that Zhao Ke said that Jiang Youyao had her eyes gouged on the first day she was thrown into her private prison by Princess Yongning. Jiang Li had thought before, if it wasn't for her own actions to be too ruthless, if she had told Jiang Yuanbo earlier, Jiang Youyao wouldn't have fallen to this point. After listening to Zhao Ke's words, Jiang Li understood that even if he told Jiang Yuanbai the first time he learned about it, Jiang Youyao could not be saved.
The main thing for Lord Yongning is Jiang Youyao's despair, so he dug her eyeballs from the beginning. What can I do if I lose an eyeball? Just this despair can destroy Jiang Youyao for life. After experiencing the viciousness of Princess Yongning, Jiang Li could almost feel Jiang Youyao's pain at that time. But if she didn't follow Li Lian back to the Li family from the beginning, or if she took the initiative to contact the Jiang family after thinking about it, she wouldn't fall to this point.
Who knows, going around and around, turned out to be like this.
Jiang Li and Tonger went to Yaoguangzhu.
Yao Guangzhu has been unoccupied for a long time. Although there are maids sweeping in the yard every day, the flowers in the garden are withered. When the spring arrives, there is not a trace of vitality here, as if hope is exhausted. In general, there are signs of decadence everywhere.
Jiang Li couldn't help thinking that she would become Miss Jiang Er. When she just returned to the city of Yanjing, when she arrived at Jiang's house, Yaoguangzhu was the best piece of land in the Jiang family's big house. When talking about Yao Guangzhu, the maids in Jiang Li's courtyard were all looking forward to serving them in front of Jiang Youyao.
Who would have thought that there would be now
When I walked outside the courtyard, Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Yang were all in the hall. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou are at the other end, Jiang Bingji has been crying, and the house is full of sorrows and sorrows.
"Ali, why are you here?" Lu Shi saw her coming.
"I'll see the third sister."
"Don't," Lu Shi glanced at the room, "You Yao is afraid it is not good now. I feel a little uncomfortable after seeing it. You still don't go in."
Jiang Li looked at Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang looked outside blankly. One after another accident occurred in Jiang's Mansion. This shrewd and stern old lady also began to age rapidly and began to show a sense of powerlessness in China. She didn't see Jiang Li coming, she was probably in a daze. Even though Mrs. Jiang no longer loved Jiang Youyao because of Ji Shuran, and what Jiang Youyao did later is always disappointing, Jiang Youyao is after all the granddaughter who grew up in front of Mrs. Jiang. Maybe she no longer loves Jiang Youyao, but seeing her family become miserable and painful, as an elder and relative, Mrs. Jiang feels uncomfortable in her heart.
"Second aunt, the doctor has been here, what did you say?" Jiang Li asked softly.
Lu Shi shook his head: "There is no cure." After that, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, "It's too pitiful."
Lu Shi had always disliked Ji Shuran's mother and daughter, but for Jiang Youyao like this, it seemed that it was difficult to dislike Jiang Youyao as before. Instead, she was deeply saddened. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou were also uncharacteristically silent, only Yang, Jiang Li noticed Yang, she still did not speak as before, like the foil of Jiang’s family, except that there was no trace of sorrow in her eyes, only indifference, as if Isolate myself from Jiang's house.
Rao is Jiang Li. Although she has no sympathy for Jiang Youyao, she is not gloating for all Jiang Youyao’s misfortunes. However, Yang looks like she is a little happy. Although the cover is very good, she is dressed and dressed. , They are all exquisite.
Compared with Mrs. Jiang and Lu who came in a hurry, it was really abrupt.
Perceiving Jiang Li looking at herself, Yang raised her head in confusion, Jiang Li staggered his gaze and said, "I'd better go in and take a look."
Lu Shi couldn't stop Jiang Li, and Jiang Li walked into the house. The two maids were waiting for Jiang Youyao in the room, but they just stood aside at a loss and couldn't do anything.
Jiang Youyao was sitting on the corner of the bed without taking off her shoes and socks. She also sat blankly without saying a word, but she was rarely quiet. There are weal marks on her face and hands. The most terrifying thing is the eye socket of the left eye, empty without eyeballs, which looks shocking at first glance.
The two maids were a little frightened by Jiang Youyao's face, and they lowered their heads not to look directly into Jiang Youyao's eyes. Jiang Li walked to Jiang Youyao, and Jiang Youyao just stared at the flower case on the quilt, motionless.
"Did she speak?" Jiang Li asked the two maids in the room.
One of the maids replied: "No, the doctor said he was given dumb medicine."
"Is she just sitting like this?"
The maid nodded: "Yes, I don't talk or make trouble, it's quiet, just sit in a daze."
Jiang Li sighed silently. Looking at Jiang Youyao's eyes, Jiang Li knew that Jiang Youyao was really crazy, not pretending to be crazy. Princess Yongning did completely destroy her, but even if Jiang Youyao who was rescued was not crazy, sooner or later she would no longer be sober. What happened to Ji Shuran that year spread, and the rumors still made Jiang Youyao unbearable, and even left the house without hesitation. If she knew that she had lost an eyeball, how could she bear it
The wicked have their own wicked torment, Jiang Youyao is not a good person, but against Princess Yongning, Princess Yongning's methods are a hundred times more insidious than Jiang Youyao.
Since Jiang Youyao was already crazy, she couldn't tell why she was imprisoned by Princess Yongning to a private prison, and Princess Yongning's rhetoric might not be believed. On the contrary, no one cares anymore.
Jiang Li couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, and she didn't expect that her daughter would eventually become like this before Ji Shuran left. However, it has been half a day since Jiang Youyao was sent to Jiang's house. It is natural that Ji's family cannot be unaware of the ups and downs passed down in Yanjing City. But now, the people of the Ji family haven't come to take a look, which is chilling. The Chen Ji clan, who had always fought for Jiang Youyao based on reason, also said nothing, Quandang is not like this granddaughter in the Ji family.
Jiang Li walked out of the house.
Mrs. Jiang was still there, she seemed to have finally recovered and looked at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li walked to Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang seemed to be very tired, and only said: "Second girl, do you think this is retribution?"
Is this retribution? Jiang Li didn’t know. She held Mrs. Jiang’s hand and said, “If there is retribution, the most retributable in the world is Princess Yongning. Don’t worry, grandmother,” she seemed to be talking to Mrs. Jiang, but also to herself. Speaking, she said: "Father will ask the third sister for an explanation."
…
When Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong were blocked by the officers and soldiers at Shen's house, Princess Yongning couldn't believe her eyes.
She and Shen Yurong had never been out of Shen's Mansion, it was because the rumors outside were so circulated. Therefore, I don’t know that those rumors have long since changed. They are no longer talking about the relationship between her and Shen Yurong, but Xue Huaiyuan sued her for conspiring with Shen Yurong to kill Xue Fangfei, and Jiang Yuanbai sued her for imprisoning and torturing his daughter.
When the officers and soldiers came to tie her up, Princess Yongning said loudly: "What are you going to do? How dare you treat this palace like this! Don't think that now that the palace loses power, you can do whatever you want, wait for the future, wait for the future..."
The leading officers and soldiers interrupted her impatiently: "Don't do it in the future, let's save your life first!"
Shen Yurong sensitively sensed that this person's tone was wrong, and asked, "Excuse me, what happened?"
Up to now, he still wears clean clothes, speaks warmly, and even has a leisurely smile on his face. If he doesn't know who this person is, he still hangs out with such a vicious-hearted woman, I'm afraid the officers and soldiers would hardly feel bad at Shen Yurong. . One of the officers and soldiers said: "Xue Huaiyuan and Jiang Shoufu sued the two together."
"Sue?" Princess Yongning sneered: "What's the matter with me?"
"Naturally, you are suing you two for embarrassment, conspiracy to kill Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao, and also imprisoned the third young lady of the Jiang family in a private prison, and dug out others' eyes. Now Jiang Shoufu is quitting, ask your Majesty for an explanation. As the saying goes. eye for eye… "
The officers and soldiers were very rude. In fact, Shen Yurong had a good reputation in Yanjing City, and few officials did not know him. It was shocking that such a gentle old man was suddenly accused of such a terrible crime. In addition, Jiang Youyao's incident this morning made the world feel terrified. The hornet's tail needle is the most poisonous woman's heart. Princess Yongning's methods are really cruel and outrageous. And Shen Yurong actually had a relationship with such a woman in private, and even killed his wife and children for it, it can be described as a nest of snakes and rats, and thousands of people swear.
Princess Yongning said: "...You mean private prison?" She was shocked and immediately knew that something was wrong. Shen Yurong didn't know the private prison in the princess's mansion, and even Cheng Wang didn't even know that she had such a place. Over the years, many people have offended her, and Princess Yongning has made them pay the price one by one. At first it was just a few people, but more and more people were imprisoned. At the time, people were not allowed to set up private prisons, and once they were discovered, it was a crime to lose their heads. What's more, there are many court officials in that private jail. Even if it is a petty official, there are two or three, she can't escape the death penalty.
Seeing Princess Yongning's face suddenly changed color, Shen Yurong suddenly felt an ominous premonition in her heart, and asked her, "What kind of prison?"
"No, nothing." Princess Yongning smiled reluctantly, settled, and said: "Shen Lang, it's okay. Xue Huaiyuan's accusation is obviously nonsense. What Xue Fangfei, what Xue Zhao, I don't know that there is such a thing. What's wrong. They want to pour dirty water on us. How simple is it! What about Jiang Yuanbai? My eldest brother and concubine will definitely come back to save us by any means. Shen Lang, you have to believe me!"
She chattered endlessly, and a trace of disgust flashed in Shen Yurong's eyes, and she didn't want to talk more with her. The officers and soldiers pushed them out of the house, and the mother Shen who came after hearing the news wailed: "What are you going to do? Why are you taking my son? You are a private house, I can sue you!"
The walking officers and soldiers suddenly saw a pungent woman standing in front of them, impatiently, and pushed Mother Shen aside. Mother Shen was pushed to a stagger, fell to the ground, regardless of her image, pointing to Princess Yongning and howled. "It's her! This woman is the cause! This woman seduced Yurong, and she threatened my son with the identity of a princess. Yurong didn't know anything. This woman caused everything. You are so cruel. , You hurt our Shen family miserably, you are so black-hearted, you will go to hell after you die..."
Her cursing voice reached Princess Yongning's ears, and Princess Yongning looked at her in shock. She probably didn't expect this woman who was always kind, loving, and even flattering to look at her before. One day I will abuse myself with such vulgar and vicious words. Before she could reply, the officers and soldiers had pushed her to move on, and the woman's verbal abuse gradually moved further and further away from her. Princess Yongning suddenly recovered. She was so insulted that Shen Yurong didn't say a word? You don't have to scold your mother for her, but even if it's just a word of comfort, why do you stingy to give it
She turned to look at Shen Yurong.
However, seeing Shen Yurong walking in a muddle-headed manner, his expression numb, as if he had not seen her anger, nor had he heard the abuse and cry of Mother Shen behind him, as if he had already withdrawn from here.
Shen Yurong was indeed withdrawn.
He wanted to be prosperous and wealthy, he wanted to climb up, lost his son, and watched his wife be imprisoned by a senseless charge, struggling and suffering, and finally dying. He thought it was worth it, and one day, when he gets everything, it will be worth it.
But at this moment, Shen Yurong knew in his heart that there was no turning point in this matter. What started over, made a comeback, even if Princess Yongning is Cheng Wang's sister and Liu Taifei's daughter, they are still in disaster. Emperor Hong Xiao grasped this handle so easily, and he wouldn't let it go.
Everything he did was nothing in the end.
Shen Yurong walked staggeringly, and many people watching the excitement had already gathered outside the gate of the palace. They pointed at him, and his disgusting and contemptuous eyes made him unconscious.
In a trance, he seemed to see Xue Fangfei. She was standing in the crowd, beautifully beautiful, but she was no longer the familiar gentle and graceful appearance. She looked at him coldly, like watching a stranger, like laughing His embarrassment.
He was really embarrassed.
…
In Ye Mansion, Ye Shijie was talking with Xue Huaiyuan.
Regarding the Xue family's case, Xue Huaiyuan's daughter now lives in the Ye family. Although Ye Mingyu is loyal to the liver, but does not understand the stakes in the officialdom, she can't help much with the case. Ye Shijie happened to understand a little bit.
Ye Shijie told Xue Huaiyuan about the importance of the changes in the current Yanjing court. In the conversation with Xue Huaiyuan, Ye Shijie also benefited a lot, and Ye Shijie was very willing to talk with Xue Huaiyuan. The more he had friendship with Xue Huaiyuan, the more Ye Shijie admired Xue Huaiyuan, so Ye Shijie also spared no effort to help this case of the Xue family.
"Mr. Xue, please rest assured," Ye Shijie said: "This case about the Xue family seems to be pretty sure at the moment. The truth about the deaths of Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao's brother and sister will soon come to light, and those unwarranted charges will also come to light. Will be washed away."
Xue Huaiyuan said: "This is naturally very good, but she used to be a princess after all. Even if she is not a princess now, Cheng Wang and Concubine Liu will not give up easily."
Ye Shijie was silent. Hearing that Princess Liu learned the news, he went to the Jinluan Temple to find Emperor Hong Xiao early in the morning, and Cheng Wang was also there. The case involved too much, Wang Cheng and Princess Liu realized the importance of the matter. It was for this reason that Jiang Yuanbo even sent some guards to Ye Mansion to protect the whole Ye Mansion with all his strength. If King Cheng wanted to kill someone, he would most likely rush into the Ye family to kill Xue Huaiyuan.
"It's okay, Mr. Xue," Ye Shijie said: "The cousin said, there is girl Haitang as a witness, and Princess Yongning is accused of more than this. Even the Jiang family will not let this happen easily."
"What I am worried about is Fang Fei's charges," Xue Huaiyuan was surprised. "Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning will not admit it lightly."
Ye Shijie smiled slightly: "The cousin had already thought of this, so besides Haitang, the cousin also arranged a personal certificate."
"Who?"
"Mr. Qin Yi from Mingyitang, Xiao Deyin."
