The next day.
The weather was extremely gloomy, and soon the sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds. It looked gloomy, and the air was even more dreary and tight. Generally speaking, spring in Dongdu has always been rainy and sunny. It seemed like it would rain at any time. possible.
Early in the morning, her brother Shu Wuluan was ordered to go to the Iron Mansion to announce the decree. When she arrived at the Iron Mansion, a plain white flag was hung high at the door of the mansion. Officials, relatives and friends who had some friends came to express their condolences, and they were walking in sparsely through the door. Enter.
"It turns out that Mr. Jin Yihou is here. This old servant will go and inform the lady to come and greet you personally." The butler who was waiting at the door to thank guests saw someone coming from the palace with sharp eyes. He had some discernment and guessed it at once. Whoever the visitor was, he hurriedly came forward to salute. When he noticed the seriousness on the woman's face and the group of palace guards following her, they were shocked.
"No need! I'm here to announce the decree. You can lead the way." Ge Shu Wuluan stood at the door of the house, his voice was cold and his expression was indifferent.
As soon as he heard this, the housekeeper panicked and glanced at the roll of bright yellow in the woman's sleeve. He didn't dare to delay for a moment, so that he could lead the way to the door.
Ge Shu Wuluan hurriedly came to the mourning hall with a group of people behind him. The ash smoke from the burning candle paper was extremely pungent. In front of him, a golden nanmu coffin was elevated in the main hall. On both sides of the coffin, there were kneeling people wearing plain clothes. Women and girls.
At this moment, the two of them were burning paper money, and the paper instantly turned into red flames, and the ashes fell into the copper basin. Waves of mournful cries overflowed from the lips of the two of them, echoing in the huge hall for a while, infecting everyone present. of condolences.
At this time, a boy shouted in a hoarse voice: "We have guests coming!"
The sobbing woman saw that the visitor was the Marquis of Jinyi, and she wanted to get up quickly to greet him.
This woman is the wife of Iron Plow, and her fierce face shows shrewdness.
Last night, news came from the inner palace, saying that her husband's case was closed, and that Jinyihou personally investigated and tried it. So he thought that he would find an opportunity to thank her someday, but he didn't expect that she would come to the door in person today. Condolences, this person is not as unkind as the rumors say.
Before the woman stood up, the housekeeper hurriedly walked to her side. After whispering, the woman's face suddenly changed color.
She had heard that no less than a hundred people gathered at the yamen gate yesterday afternoon to beat drums and sue her husband. At that time, she was shocked and angry, so she sent people to all the yamen to send money to suppress the matter. In order to prevent her husband from losing face after his death.
Now, the Jin Yihou came to announce the decree, could it be... Thinking of this, the corners of Mrs. Tie's eyes twitched, and she suddenly felt that something bad was about to happen.
Ge Shu Wuluan was wearing a dark blue brocade official robe, embroidered with clusters of silver night roses. She was standing tall and graceful, holding a bright yellow scroll in her hand and spreading it out in front of her. Her voice was cold, "Mrs. Tie answered. Purpose!"
Everyone present knelt down to listen to the order.
"By God's blessing, the king issued an edict: During his lifetime, Tieli was an unscrupulous official. He was corrupt and perverted the law. He wasted no time on people's lives. He dominated people's private homes, embezzled fields, and enriched his own pockets. He committed many evil crimes. His crimes are heinous! Now he has deprived him of the seat of the second-rank governor. The title was used as a burial place for the common people, and the crime did not affect the family members. Later, the Marquis of Jinyi was ordered to search the Iron Mansion and confiscate the official residence. I admire this!" Her voice was sonorous, like jade beads falling from a plate, and bells falling into the heart of the heart. .
This edict was originally decided yesterday, so not many people knew about it. When it was read out like this, people were shocked and caught off guard. The whole place was shaken, and there were boiling and noisy gasps. came.
Mrs. Tie had already collapsed on the ground, not to mention accepting the imperial edict.
Brother Shu Wuluan lightly glanced at Madam Tie's pale and blood-stained cheek, and called out: "Come here! Send the edict to the Qingyang Announcement outside the palace gate and post it."
This low cry once again shocked people. In the past, after an edict was issued, the edict was given to the person who received the edict, but now it was posted outside and announced in front of the world. The monarch's intention was to make Tieli even die with shame. , it is conceivable that Tieli's crime has made the monarch furious!
The palace guard behind him took the edict and hurriedly turned around and stepped out of the mourning hall.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sharp gesture, and a team of palace guards rushed in from the door. They were about to bypass the mourning hall and rush into the backyard to ransack the house.
The heavy and complicated footsteps passed by her ears and hit her heart. Only then did Madam Tie regain her consciousness. She climbed up from the ground and screamed, "What are you doing? Get away, don't touch the people in our house." thing!"
She yelled and chased after him, punching and kicking the palace guards with all the vigor of a shrew.
The crowd of mourners had just recovered from the shock, and when they saw the scene before them, they all broke into a cold sweat for Mrs. Tie, and expressed their regrets in different ways, but no one dared to come forward to comfort her or intervene in this mess.
To say that Mrs. Tie was very strong, she must have some kung fu skills. The chief palace guard was pushed by her and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
But seeing her standing in front of the small door at the back of the mourning hall with her arms wide open, her attitude as if she was looking forward to death, seemed to be saying that if she wanted to get through this door, she had to step over her body first!
The palace guard was furious at that moment. How could he let her be arrogant and domineering? He pulled out his sword with a cry, and was about to put it on her neck. Blood was about to splatter on the spot, but at this moment, a slender palm appeared. He brushed off the blade in time, "The king's decree is clear. The crime will not bring disaster to the family, so put the sword away."
The palace guard looked back and saw his brother Shu Wuluan standing behind him with a calm expression. He frowned and said, "My lord, this sinful woman has shown her disobedience by resisting the decree. Death is not enough to prove the authority of the king, so I let my subordinates kill her immediately." .”
As soon as she finished speaking, the long sword that had been brushed away was placed on Madam Tie's neck again. She did not hide or dodge, she just glared angrily at the palace guard in front of her and gritted her teeth.
A powerful palm wind struck, and the long sword in the palace guard's hand clanged, and was knocked to the ground. The crisp sound was frightening, and the woman's clear voice came out immediately, "When will it be your turn to take over?" I have made the decision? You are so capable! Do you want me to recommend you to the monarch, so that I can step down and give way to someone more worthy?"
The words were tepid, but the tone was extremely frightening. The palace guard looked shocked, still not knowing what the so-called advice was, "My lord, forgive me! I don't dare to have any arrogance, but this guilty woman will not die..."
Brother Shu Wuluan glanced at the palace guard and lightly opened his lips, "She resisted and disrespected the imperial decree. Are you going to be charged with contempt for the emperor and ignoring the imperial decree? Back off!"
Upon hearing this, Gong Wei's heart trembled, and he was horrified. He caressed his numb wrist that was shaken by the force of her palm, and retreated to the side.
The woman took a step forward and stood in front of Madam Tie. She lightly raised her eyelashes and looked at her. Her tone was gentle and gentle, "Right now, Madam, doing this is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. It doesn't matter if I can't get the job, but if If I make the king angry again, I'm afraid my husband won't even have room to be buried and rest in peace!"
Her words were like sharp knives wrapped in frost and snow, each word struck straight into Mrs. Tie's heart, making the knife feel cold. However, despite this, she still couldn't see clearly what was at stake at this moment, and hissed: "Stop using these words to bluff people, your Majesty." I have always respected my husband, so how could I order my house to be searched because of some unfounded charges? Those are all false accusations. The monarch must have been deceived by others, so he wronged a good man. I don't accept it, and I want to file a complaint!"
These words made several officials present feel ashamed. This Mrs. Tie was not ordinary shameless. If all the good people in the world were dead, her husband Tie Li would never be called a good person!
Let's not talk about Mrs. Tie's arrogant words. Just look at what happened to Jin Yihou today. Why didn't he show any thunderous energy in the past? Instead, he only spoke softly and spoke in a low voice.
