Who Cares

Chapter 64: Investigation

Views:

Guan Suyi has never seen such a thing that needs money and not life, knowing that it is the prince of the previous dynasty, and sending it to the Xue family army is enough for them to occupy half of the Central Plains in the name of orthodoxy, so she agreed. Does the Ye family make less money? Their greed has no end!

The prince was so used to being pampered, he contracted a serious illness and died on the way to Shuzhou. Xue Mingrui's plan to narrow the emperor's order to make the princes failed, otherwise he would not know who those aristocratic families who are working for the emperor would favor. After all, they value bloodlines the most. and orthodox.

Guan Suyi knew that if she didn't find out the treasure map today, this matter would never be good. What's more, the general who led the team she knew was Zhou Tian, a newly appointed Zhonglang general, and her brother was in the first battle in Hancheng. The tragic death can be said to have a deep feud with Zhao Lu. The greatest wish in his life is to kill the North Marquis by hand, but unfortunately he could not achieve it in his previous life, and he still needs to work hard in this life.

He is one of the most powerful eagle dogs under Emperor Shengyuan. He is not ambiguous about where to fight, but he is different from Qin Lingyun and other people with a bottom line. His methods are extremely vicious and he is extremely surly. In his hands either death or life is better than death, there is no second way.

Today, the emperor sent him to deal with the Ye family's family. When the emperor was angry, he buried millions of corpses, and the blood was floating in the pestle. This is definitely not a joke.

Guan Suyi was awe-inspiring in her heart, but her face was not at all afraid. She stepped forward and rushed to Zhou Tian and said indifferently, "General Zhou, it is reasonable for Mrs. Ben to intervene. However, the death row prisoner who was sentenced to death was dying You can have a full meal and get a little pity. Is it against morality for you to treat these weak women like this? You can arrest or search people, and please send a few female yamen to save them from being humiliated. ."

Zhou Tian didn't take Zhenbei Hou's mansion seriously at all, and because he had a deadly feud with Zhao Luli, he could do whatever he wanted to rectify, and he could do whatever he wanted. Not a single hair could be touched, just because the emperor had deliberately instructed him not to disturb his wife in the slightest, and if she was a little frightened, she would ask him.

Zhou Tian originally thought that under such circumstances, Mrs. Guan would definitely not dare to step out of the room, but she did not expect that she not only came, but also intended to meddle in her own business, and she couldn't help but feel hostile. He narrowed his eyes, stood up reluctantly, and said politely, "Madam, you yourself said that it is inconvenient for you to interfere with the criminal law, so it is better to stay away. The chicken Sichen is contrary to common sense, do you think so?"

"Heji Sichen?" Guan Suyi raised her hand slightly, and Jin Zi brought a chair for her to sit down.

"Since Zhonglang is going to reason with me, I will have a good fight with you. This is Zhao's house, and I am the mistress of the Zhao family. You broke into my house and insulted my children and servants, so why don't you allow me to stand up? Open your eyes for them? Then why am I the wife of the Zhao family, a first-class official?" She seemed to think of something and went to look at the little yellow door, "I almost forgot to ask, the emperor said in the letter that he would take the official life from my head. , is also demoted to a commoner?"

Xiao Huangmen shook his head in fear, and quickly took out another letter from his cuff, and sang aloud, to the effect that although the Marquis of Zhenbei was guilty of serious crimes, Mrs. It can be regarded as the model of the clan wife, the example of the life wife, and the special grade is reserved to show the grace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Guan Suyi bowed three times in the direction of the imperial city, and asked, "General Zhou, may I ask if Mrs. Ben is qualified to protect my family and servants now?"

Zhou Tian snorted angrily, "Let all the people in the Zhao family go!" Then he grinned, "Madam, don't think that everything is all right. If the Ye family refuses to hand over the treasure map today, they will not only punish the nine clans, but also prevent criminals. The woman hid the picture with you, and I will dig it out even if I dig three feet into the ground. These pavilions, carved beams and painted columns, precious antiques, and the lives of your whole family, I am afraid that they will not be able to save them. ."

Are you really planning to avenge your private revenge? Guan Suyi raised her eyebrows, knowing that Zhou Tian would not let Zhao's house go easily, and asked Minglan to wrap a cloak and tie her belt for the female dependents, and said slowly, "Mrs Ye, you must have heard it? Hand over the blueprints in exchange for the lives of your Ye clan?"

Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu also looked at her anxiously, with hints of urging in their eyes. They did not know when they had hid behind Guan Suyi, and each put a hand on the back of her chair, as if only in this way could they feel a little bit of safety. When Guan Suyi kept saying that she was the mistress of the Zhao family and that it was her duty to protect her children and servants, they almost cried. The word "mother" turned out to be so heavy and so radiant that it made all fears settle down and dispelled all haze. It's nice to have a mother.

Liu Shi said anxiously, "What treasure map, I really don't know! If I had handed it over long ago, why would I have waited until now?"

"I'm sorry," Zhou Tian stood up and ordered, "Search everyone, all items, and all rooms. If you still can't find it, then kill one person every quarter of an hour until they are willing to say. Tell the truth. Let this official think about who to start with first."

He slowly paced among the terrified crowd, and suddenly pointed at a baby held by his wet nurse and said, "Just him. Whose son is this from Ye Mansion?"

The fourth daughter-in-law, Mrs. Tang, cried in fright, struggling desperately under the guards, "Please don't kill my daughter, she is only three months old! My lord, I beg you! Mother-in-law, hand in the treasure map soon. Is our family's life more important than money? Mother-in-law!"

Liu Shi was sweating like pulp, his face was as white as paper, and he grabbed the front of his clothes with both hands and shouted, "I really don't have a treasure map, I haven't even heard the master mention it! Really, Lord General, trust me, where is there anyone? If I love money like my life, I'm not a fool!"

Zhou Tian was indifferent, and only glanced at everyone with a pair of cold and ruthless eyes. Guan Suyi didn't stand up to stop it. The more critical it is, the more you can see a person's secret buried deep in his heart. If you observe carefully enough, you can always catch the clue.

Zhou Tian obviously knew this very well. After walking around, he picked up his eldest daughter-in-law Song's son, who was still in swaddling clothes, and hung it above the lotus pond. He said slowly, "You still refuse to pay?"

The Song family, who was extremely flustered, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted again and again, "I will pay, I will pay, I beg the general to spare my son! He is the only seed in the long house!"

Liu looked at the eldest daughter-in-law with disbelief, but she didn't know such an important thing, how could the husband pass over him and hand it over to her? But this is not the time for inquiry or jealousy. Song Shi has already tore the hem of her skirt, took out a roll of parchment from the gap, and presented her hands to Zhou Tian, and then looked at the child in his hand with pleading.

Zhou Tian casually discarded the child and spread out the parchment to look at it. Song Shi hurriedly caught it, pressing her cheek against her son's cheek, and started crying in fear, and then reached out to touch the inside of the swaddle to see if he was frightened, whether he was sweating, and whether he might get sick from the wind. The arm was taken out of the swaddling clothes, put it on the lips and kissed, and put it back with great care.

But the female relatives of the Ye family who had been insulted hated her to the bone, and they could hand it over early in the morning. Could it be that other people's lives are not lives, only her son's lives are lives? The Ye family is indeed not rich in males, and her son is indeed the only seedling in the long house, but how can it be compared with the life and death of the entire clan? The Song family is absolutely selfish!

Song shi clenched his son's small hand wearing a silver bracelet and moved away quietly to avoid everyone's hateful eyes. She licked her lips and murmured, "General, the drawings have been handed in, can you let us go?"

Guan Suyi raised her eyebrows and smiled, but her eyes were cold.

Zhou Tianyi sneered and asked, "Are you a fool to be this official? Before the treasure map is verified, none of the Ye family members are allowed to leave. They will all be arrested by this official and put in the heavenly prison!"

The Ye family was crying and grabbing the ground again, causing the Zhao residence to become a riot. Song Shi was stunned for a while, then hugged the child in her arms tightly, as if she felt inappropriate, and pushed him to the nurse, begging, "Sir, I will go with you voluntarily, but please let my child go. He is only five Yue is old, and his body is weak. If he enters the cell and is stained with gloomy moisture, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold it! He is only a little bit, he can't talk, he can't walk, he can only be at his mercy, and he won't get in your way. What, it doesn't involve the case. I beg the general to be gracious and let him be fostered in the Zhao family! I kowtow to the general!"

When the words fell, she kowtowed a few times, and seeing that Zhou Tian was still with a cold and solemn face, she turned to kneel off Suyi and cried, "Madam, you are the most benevolent and righteous, and please consider the innocent child's sake. Save his life! In the next life, I will definitely repay your kindness as a bull and a horse."

The other mothers also knelt down with their children in their arms, crying one after another.

Guan Suyi showed a moving expression, reached out to take the children, and said slowly, "Okay, I have taken these children, what else do you have to say?"

Song shi raised his eyes to look at his son, swept across his face with nostalgia, and finally stopped on his exposed wrist, as if afraid that he would be cold, so he hurriedly stuffed it back, and choked, "I beg Madam to raise him well, come here. Let him leave Yanjing on the day and don't turn back. Madam is afraid that she doesn't know how to take care of young children, so please take in his wet nurse and give her a bite to eat. She is a loyal servant of my family and will take good care of the child and spare the wife. Lots of annoyances."

Guan Suyi glanced at the wet nurse thoughtfully, and nodded in agreement, "You can go in peace, I will settle them well." Then she turned to look at Zhou Tian, "General, these children will stay in Zhao's house for the time being, You should be fine, right?"

"Madam, let's continue if you don't mind the trouble." Zhou Tian snorted coldly, and took the prisoner away, but he heard the sound of breaking the air from behind, and hurriedly grabbed it reflexively. Silver bracelet, can't help but be confused.

When Song Shi saw the thing clearly, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Take the things you are looking for with you. The Ye family is really good at these ghost tricks, entrusting the child and the nurse to me, and taking precautions when the treasure map in the general's hand is still unrecognizable. The loose Zhao family escaped and made a living. In the future, the child will take out the treasure after a little bowel movement and revive the lintel. In order to keep this single seedling, the entire Zhao family will be buried with the Ye family. Yihou, I am very moved! I think Ye Quanyong has already arranged a back road? If the child wants to leave the capital, there will be someone to meet him, and since he has taken the treasure from the previous dynasty, it should be Xue Thief without a doubt? General Zhou, follow this If you investigate the clues in depth, you have a great opportunity to make a contribution." Guan Suyi handed the child to Jin Zi, and while stroking the non-existent folds on the skirt, he slowly revealed it.

Everyone looked at her, unable to keep up with her thoughts for a while.
