Lonely non-good minister

This is too morally oppressive.

Liang He was caught in a dilemma again as if his tail had been stepped on. He was extremely unwilling to be questioned by others about his filial piety, but Song Yuan was indeed very useful to him. If she confessed now, the loss would be too great.

"Actually, it can be seen from the division of the Hou Mansion that the Marquis and Madam have high hopes for the son. Although there is a reason why the son will inherit the title in the future, but the three brothers of the son, only the son is in good health. Great comfort and sustenance."

Huo Ying's words were tantamount to sprinkling salt in Liang He's heart. Thinking of his parents' love and partiality for him, his heart ached like a twist.

But he quickly calmed down. It is absolutely impossible for Song Yuan to kill his mother. She has no such ability at all. Exposing her will not help in solving this case. Instead, she will lose her role in advance. Moreover, Song Yuan is He absolutely dare not reveal his identity, so how could he make the royal family angry at his mother?
"My mother's case has absolutely nothing to do with her." Liang He didn't dare to listen to Huo Ying's bewitching anymore: "If Master Huo really wants to investigate, I can ask my mother's nuns to cooperate with Master Huo, after all, it is a woman's case." I don't know much about it."

What he said was so certain, although Huo Ying was suspicious, he didn't refuse, and immediately sent someone to ask Madam Hou's nanny to come over and ask carefully, but when the official came back, he brought back one more piece of news.

Marquis Wei Ting is going to divorce the second young lady of the Hou Mansion.

"The case of Mrs. Hou's assassination has not been settled for a long time. The Hou mansion has pointed all the blame at the second young lady, blaming her for troublesome things, and even suspecting that she bought the murderer. Wei Tinghou was instigated several times. I want to divorce my wife for my son." After the official said the whole story, he waited for Huo Ying to make a decision.

Huo Ying sat beside the charcoal basin, his eyes kept looking at the file in his hand, he never lost his focus from the corner of the eye, and his tone was very indifferent: "What does the nurse next to Mrs. Hou say?"

"Liang Shizi has explained to them, and they dare not say it, then Mrs. Hou has a lot of grievances on weekdays." The official sat down under Huo Ying's signal: "There are not many concubine children in Weitinghou's mansion, but they all have a lot of grievances." Not very promising, concubine daughters were given to the powerful as concubines, and concubine sons were also not very promising. After being weak, they were kicked out to set up their own houses, so her relationship with Wei Tinghou's concubines was extremely bad.

In addition, because the natal families of the first young lady and the second young lady are not as good as the Hou's family, Mrs. Hou is very neglectful of the two in-laws. A few years ago, the mother of the young lady was sick, and the young lady wanted to go home to take care of the sick. After being rejected by Madam Hou, she also said that the married daughter poured out the water, and it was absolutely impossible for the unmarried girl to go home to serve others. The anxious young lady cried every night.

Moreover, the young lady's son was taken away by Mrs. Hou as soon as he was born, and the young lady cried every day during the confinement. After asking the eldest son to beg for a long time, Mrs. Hou agreed to let them meet each other for a month. It was because the young lady was worried that she would not want to take good care of the elder son with handicapped legs when she had a child. Now that child is seven or eight years old, she is very estranged from the young lady.

Another thing is that it coincides with the birthdays of the two in-laws. Because the days are close, Wei Tinghou personally prepared a congratulatory gift, but Mrs. Hou felt that it was too expensive, so she changed the congratulatory gift to the second young lady's natal family. It made the Second Young Madam angry, and she often blamed Madam Hou for this in private. After Madam Hou learned about it, she saw that the Second Young Master's monthly money was in her own hands, and asked the Second Young Madam to send the money to come to her again. .

Once again, the Second Young Madam was in a hurry to use the money, so she went to ask Madam Hou to ask for it, but she refused to give it even after explaining the reason. Angrily scolded the second young lady for embarrassing the Hou family, and suspected that she was subsidizing her mother's family, and asked the nanny to write down all her jewelry and clothes, saying that she would count them every month. The angry second young lady was ill for several days. "

These things are so trivial that Huo Ying found it annoying: "So, Mrs. Hou has conflicts with her concubine and her two daughters-in-law? Although these things sound annoying, they are far from buying murder. point."

"There are two more things. One is that Mrs. Hou once beat a maid to death. Because she lost her favorite earring, she thought it was stolen by the maid. In order to let the maid recruit, she was beaten severely, but she accidentally beat her to death. Later, when cleaning the house, I found that the earring had fallen on the ground. The maid who was beaten to death had an older sister serving in the mansion. Mrs. Hou rewarded her with 20 taels of silver to appease her, and the incident passed.

The other thing is that Liang Shizi once brought back a girl. Madam Hou learned that the girl had eloped with Liang Shizi, and insulted the girl severely. The angry girl left crying. Later, Liang Shizi took her away. Princess Shuyi knew about the news that she was living next to Hou's mansion. After Princess Shuyi said a few words, Mrs. Hou took advantage of the girl's illness and kicked her out. When she kicked her out, the girl even beat her. people. "

Huo Ying thought about it carefully, and still felt that the girl who was kicked out was the most suspicious: "The girl who was kicked out is called Guan Yan, right? This is probably a fake name. Do those nuns know where she came from?"

"The lower officials asked, but they didn't know."

The thread is still broken.

Huo Ying couldn't read the file anymore. Although these nuns talked a lot, there will be various conflicts and frictions in a few days. The few things that can be said are probably the ones that caused a lot of trouble, and some of them didn't. , must be countless.

"My lord, my lord." A soldier outside ran in: "Someone threw a letter in the corner."

letter?
Huo Ying took it suspiciously, and the envelope was clearly written with "Huo Ying's personal letter". When he opened it, the first sentence was "the reason for the Huangzhuang massacre".

Before looking down, Huo Ying asked with a serious face: "Who lost it?"

"I don't know. No one saw it. Old Zhang, who was sweeping the floor, discovered it by accident. This letter is damp, and the handwriting on it is a bit blurred. It must have been several days."

Huo Ying pondered for a moment, motioned for them all to go out, and then looked seriously.

After reading the letter, Huo Ying suddenly understood the meaning of the eight words that the teacher cursed back then.

He couldn't sit still anymore, got up and went to the attic where the files were stored, but when he reached the door, he felt that it was boring to go in, so he turned his head and left again.

Seeing Huo Ying so irritable for the first time, the officials were also surprised, and did not dare to go up to ask the reason without authorization. They were still watching, when they heard Huo Ying order: "Prepare some gifts, and follow me to visit the sick."

"Visiting a doctor?" The official immediately recalled which friend of Huo Ying was sick.

"Go to Zhongshan Prince's Mansion." Huo Ying said in more detail.

He was going to see Song Yuan, visiting the sick was the second priority, and getting some news from this young man was the goal.
