Chang'an is good

Chapter 113 I am in love with Pan An
Amidst many confused discussions, Yao Yi opened his mouth: "The matter of this person Zhou Ding is indeed related to Yao, please be quiet for a moment, and listen to Yao tell the truth—"

He has an official position and prestige, as soon as he said this, the surroundings immediately became quiet.

Yao Yi looked solemn: "This matter starts with my ex-wife, Mrs. Pei."

The surroundings are still quiet, but the movement of people exchanging eyes is becoming more and more frequent.

The changes in the Pei family are still in sight, and it has never been a secret that the Pei family, who was once the wife of Dali Temple, was ordered to be punished by the saint in Dayun Temple.

It is also well known that the Pei family murdered the lady of the Chang family because she suspected that she was the illegitimate daughter of Yao Tingwei——

But it was just hearsay before, at most it was just a few whispers in secret.

And today at this time... unexpectedly, the right master Yao Tingwei can actually talk about it in person?

Without spending a penny, you can enter the Dengtai Tower to drink and chant poems with high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and scholars. The ice basin and ice drinks are enough. I didn’t mention what happened when I bumped into Mrs. Chang, but now I can still listen to Yao Tingwei’s story Private matters to satisfy their curiosity...

Is this what they deserve to hear?

Xi'er's face changed slightly.

The eyes that fell on Yao Xia turned to the man again.

Afterwards, my sister-in-law fell ill and failed to take care of her health, so the husband and wife moved in a hurry.

Chang Sui Ning also looked over.

"Over the years, there are not a hundred or eighty people who have been helped by my Chang family. They don't try to repay the kindness they can do, but such a white-eyed wolf is disgusting!" Chang Suian clenched his fists.

If he didn't have a sliver of reason, he wished he could send this rascal to meet his nephew with one punch!
Chang Suining sneered silently.

Chang Suining's eyes moved slightly.

"When did I say that I don't know Zhou Dingsu?" Chang Suining did not deny this point: "Of course I met him, not only did I meet him, but also because he claimed that his family was too poor to support him to study for the imperial examination. And helped him—”

As the Minister of Dali Temple, he was very orderly in his speech. At this time, Yao Tingwei thoughtfully gave some summary of the previous situation.

And this painting is not an ordinary painting, but just filled with red beans that convey lovesickness.

Yao Yi said coldly: "This person is very addicted to gambling. On the day of the accident, because he lost money, his fiancée's younger brother found out about the gambling. In order to keep this marriage, he even tried to kill the children. What's so strange about people being hired to kill people for money?"

The man complained so much that he regretted it so much, but at this time there was no way out, he could only follow the man's instructions, otherwise there would really be no way out for both ends!

Probably because he felt that the cannibal's mouth was short, so many doubts arose at this time.

How can we wait for virtue!
A group of literati felt quite flattered and at a loss, but this did not prevent them from tiptoeing and poking their heads to listen carefully, for fear of missing something.

But I didn't expect trouble to appear, and it was such untrue slander!

On the other hand, the man obviously became more and more flustered. Under Yao Yi's sharp gaze, he didn't dare to be stubborn: "Even... even if my nephew was bewitched by money for a while, and was used by others to do stupid things ... But, it is a fact that he and this lady of the Chang family are in love, and I am not lying about that!"

And because he knows the Zhou Ding matter in detail, what he said is clear at this moment, which makes everything reasonable and more convincing.

There was cold sweat rolling down the man's face, he was astonished and belatedly figured out something.

There is an inscription on one end of the picture, and the date and name are detailed. The date is Dongyue last year, and the name is Chang Sui Ning.

Discussion started again.

After covering it for so long, it was nothing more than wanting to attract more attention——

In order to avoid suspicion for him, Emperor Shengji never let him intervene in the case of the Pei family and the Pei family from the beginning to the end, but in order to prevent any omissions in the Beijing government and cause any future troubles, he carefully understood and secretly investigated the case. cases.

But after all, it is a place where literati gather. It is undeniable that people who have read books have opened their minds and are more organized, and they cannot be fooled by those absurd words——

Now he wished he could jump off the moat and fish up Zhou Ding to beat him up!
He harmed his sister when he was alive, but now he doesn't stop when he's dead!

"This person has ulterior motives, and he only chose today's occasion to make trouble, it's really suspicious..."

A man sitting next to the ice basin on the floor thoughtfully said: "By analogy, I can say that I am in love with Taibai?"

Jiantong frowned.

Chang Suining looked around.

She didn't see any anger or any emotion, she just asked calmly: "Since you said that I have a relationship with Zhou Ding, why did he get engaged to another woman?"

While he was speaking, he examined and looked at the man: "Zhou Ding's parents haven't seen him back home for a long time, and they went to the Beijing Yamen to report the case, and then the Jing Yamen found out Zhou Ding's whereabouts through the Pei family case, and sent people to salvage the body but failed , but has truthfully informed the Zhou family and his wife about Zhou Ding’s death in the crime—don’t you know about it?”

"Everything I said is true!" The man was still crying: "Even if my nephew did something wrong, the facts are always the facts, why don't you think about it, if my nephew has nothing to do with this lady from the Chang family I don't know each other before, so why did the murderer find my nephew?"

However, the other party's reliance should not be just these unsupported absurd words... If he dares to appear here and openly ruin her reputation, at least he must have the reliance that he thinks he can retreat unscathed.

He was very puzzled by this, until one day a person who looked like a servant girl found him and told him that his nephew had something to do with the wife of General Chang's mansion, and that his nephew's disappearance must be related to the Chang family——

But it is not only a summary of the previous situation, but also an inspiration for the future.

But the man in front of him obviously didn't know.

Poppy scoundrel?
Rogue indeed.

Is it ridiculous?
It's also ridiculous.

The girl and the surnamed Zhou had occasional letters in the past, and they were all passed on from her, so the girl didn't send any paintings to Zhou Ding!

"It's about my daughter's family name. Apart from his mouth, there is no evidence at all. How can I trust it?"

The man cried and said, "This painting has been hanging above my nephew's bed, how can it be fake!"

Once some things have a little bit of talk about men and women, there will always be people who like to cite emotional entanglements.

What nonsense are you talking about? He turned Zhou Ding's house upside down. If it was hung on Zhou Ding's bedside, how could he not see it?

Very well, even the guests on the third floor were startled, either they were rushing towards the second floor, or they were standing by the inner railing looking down at the situation on the second floor, discussing in low voices.

Brother and sister-in-law are also unkind, in order to cover up the scandal of nephew's murder, they didn't even tell him, and the couple just left him and ran away... Is this his own brother and sister-in-law!

So it's not a lover... but one of the murderers? !
"No... Impossible!" The man turned pale in shock, and shook his head in denial: "My nephew would never do such a thing!"

A look of boredom flashed in Mrs. Xie's eyes.

"It was actually helped by Mrs. Chang..."

Yao Yi said: "The case was handed over to the Jing Yamen for trial. The people around the Pei family have already confessed in detail. On the night of Shangyuan Festival, Zhou Ding had already laid hands on Mrs. Chang, but Mrs. Chang escaped by luck. Afterwards, General Chang returned to Beijing, and the Pei family pursued Zhou Ding for his ineffectiveness, and because he didn't want to leave any troublesome clues, so he had someone silence him, and then threw his body in the moat—"

"..." Many eyes looked at her in unison.

"That's right, if people believe in what they say they are in love with each other, then I will still say that Pan An and I are in love with each other!" Yao Xia couldn't bear it anymore.

Chang Sui Ning Duo took a look at the young man.

"This is the painting, and this is the evidence!" The man sat up and hurriedly opened the bag, and there was indeed a rolled-up painting scroll inside.

Well, it's time to take out the things in this baggage.

"Earlier, Mrs. Pei poisoned the idol in the Dayun Temple to destroy the blessing ceremony. The motive was to frame the lady of the Chang family. After her conspiracy was revealed, she was dealt with by the saint and imprisoned in the Jingye nunnery--how many of you are sure about this matter? Everyone has heard of it."

And those letters from the girl are also clean and innocent, there is absolutely no reason to speculate!
Even so, on the second day after Zhou Ding's accident, the girl also let Jian Tong sneak to Zhou Ding's residence and retrieved all the letters, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future.

At that time, he thought that his brother and sister-in-law were afraid of the power of the Chang family and did not dare to pursue the whereabouts of their nephew...

For a girl who has not yet left the cabinet to say such shameless words in public, it really seems like birds of a feather flock together.

Looking at the angle at which the burden is propped up, it should be something long inside.

The surrounding sounds vibrate.

"That... that is the marriage that his brother and sister-in-law forced him to make, just to make him break his delusions!"

Therefore, it is not difficult to see at this time that this painting... was indeed drawn by Ah Li.

The brother and sister-in-law were astonished after returning from the Beijing Yamen that day, and never mentioned the matter of finding their nephew.

He held the burden tightly in his arms, as if he had regained confidence in his heart. Facing those shocked and disdainful comments, he shook his head and said: "...Impossible, my nephew has already made a name for himself and has a bright future , how could it be possible to take the risk to do such a harmful thing!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Xi'er said decisively, "When did my girl give him a painting!"

She was new here before, in order not to make people notice too much strangeness, she quietly learned A Li's handwriting, so she read many A Li's old calligraphy and paintings.

In that painting, there is a figure of a girl in a green skirt hugging a cat. The girl looks up at the Acacia Red Bean, which occupies half of the painting.

The man cried and said: "Who knows what your Chang family did to force a good scholar to take this path... The others are gone, so naturally I can't read and confront you face to face, right and wrong can only be decided by you said!"

"You're talking nonsense!" The man became excited: "If it's as straightforward as you said, why would Mrs. Chang give my nephew a painting!"

And once what happened to her today is spread so unclearly, in the eyes and mouths of those strangers, it will be no different from a script. hate it.

"He killed my sister, but in the end, our Chang family forced him? Who would believe such absurd words, thanks to you, you can tell them!" Chang Suian obviously had never heard such brazen words, and for a while Feeling that the other party's nickname must be Qiu Gao, he was really refreshed!

Chang Suining looked at him amusedly: "Since he has feelings for me, is he afraid that he will have no money? Why would he object to my killing for a little money?"

No wonder...

Xi'er, who had held back for a long time and didn't dare to talk nonsense, finally dared to take the words: "That's right, my girl is kind-hearted and willing to give. She is not the only one who has given alms to him. You can go and inquire about it. Which beggar has never received charity from my girl?"

Since the case was personally adjudicated by the sage in Dayun Temple, the Beijing Yamen did not disclose the details after the follow-up trial, but everyone related to the case knew the details, the Chang family knew it, the Yao family knew it, and the parents of Zhou Ding’s family Also know.

"Isn't this because people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and instead they will repay kindness with revenge?"

His knowledge of his nephew's whereabouts is still above the "long-lost" level.

This is the only thing he has left now!
As long as he can prove that this is true, the Chang family can't do anything to him in front of so many people!
And as long as he can leave here and complete the confession of that person, that person will abide by the agreement to ensure that he leaves safely, and give him a large sum of money...!
No matter what his nephew has done, as long as he appears here today, he has already offended the Chang family to death. This is what he has prepared for a long time... The other party promised him so much money, there is no possibility of not taking risks!
Thinking of this, the man felt that he was holding heavy gold and silver in his arms, and his courage grew again.

After the young man was still sitting on the ice basin, he raised his hand and smiled, and looked at the man who was still kneeling on the ground: "It's just a feeling, and there is no basis for what the visitor said, everyone, don't take it seriously—"

The scroll quickly hung down in the rough and dirty hands of the man, and came into everyone's sight.

"So, it's a lie that you came here today to find out the whereabouts of your nephew, and it's a lie that your uncle and nephew are deeply affectionate—" Chang Suining finally spoke again, looking at the man who was still biting her and Zhou Ding who was in love with her, and said: "Only Destroying my reputation is true."

Chang Suining's eyes also fell on the bag that the man was holding.

Just like those dramas that can't stand scrutiny at all, there are many things that don't make sense, but they can still be talked about, and even passed down to future generations.

Where did you find it and dare to slander his girl?

However, if such absurd words are spread, people will still believe them-when false rumors are spread, people are always willing to believe what they like to hear.For those who listen to the excitement, the more ridiculous it is, the more exciting it is.

"However, you may not know the details. Before the visit to Dayun Temple, Mrs. Pei had secretly assassinated Mrs. Chang's family, and she had already hired a murderer to kill Mrs. Chang—" Yao Yi said solemnly: "For The person hired is precisely Zhou Ding."

Only now do I know that there is another inside story? !
Did the person who found him not know about this, or did he deliberately hide it from him?
After all, if he had known that his nephew had plotted against the Chang family's wife, he would have fled for his life with his brother and sister-in-law!

No, this painting...

No wonder he dared to come here.

It turned out that there was something in his hand.

Compared with the previous rogue words, this painting is obviously the real killer.

"Look..." The man was eager to prove his innocence, and showed the painting to the people around him.

　Good night everyone hey (pretend to forget yesterday's leave)
