First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 486 Murder
In the study, Song Zixun straightened his back, "My son did send people to buy food elsewhere, but my son never got half of the benefits from it."

"Father should also know that the amount of relief money that was deducted along the road was very limited when it reached his son... and the price of food in the disaster area is high. It will lead to a further increase in food prices, causing people to panic and panic buying."

"The son ordered people to go to other places that were not affected by the disaster to buy more grain, which can not only buy more grain at a price that is much lower than that in the county, but also ensure sufficient food in the county and stable prices, so that the people will not be too nervous. In terms of time Although there was some delay, it also saved more lives and allowed the disaster relief money to play its fullest role..."

Song Jinze listened quietly, and after he had finished speaking, he asked calmly, "So until now, don't you know where you went wrong?"

Song Zixun was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I also ask my father to guide my son..."

Song Jinze looked at him and asked slowly, "Do you still remember what I told you before you went to Shanyin County to take office?"

Song Zixun thought for a while, and then replied respectfully, "Father taught his son to be down-to-earth, cautious in his words and deeds, and not to think that his talents and family background are superior to others, so that he can look down upon no one..."

Song Jinze nodded, "Then did you do it?"

Song Zixun pursed his lips.

Song Jinze didn't really want to hear his answer, so he continued, "You know that your boss is also among the people impeaching you this time—Liu Wende, the prefect of Yunyang Prefecture. He said that you seem to be diligent, but in fact you are treacherous. So he colluded with the local gentry, and even took advantage of the investigation to amass a lot of money, taking other people's property as his own..."

Song Zixun's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "My son didn't do this... He framed his son for these things."

Song Jinze nodded unsurprisingly, "I also believe you didn't...then have you ever thought about why he framed you?"

Song Zixun was silent for a moment, and then said, "That Mr. Liu Wende, Mr. Liu, who was greedy... firstly blocked the refugees from the city gate at the beginning of the disaster, and left them to fend for themselves; 'Filling his own pockets, secretly hoarding food and selling it at a high price... The son disdains to join forces with him, thinking that he annoyed his son because of this, and was afraid that his cheating would be revealed, so he took the opportunity to frame and slander..."

"Since you know that Yunyang Mansion has already sealed the city gates to drive away the fleeing victims, why do you do the opposite, giving porridge and medicine outside the city, and resettling a large number of refugees in Yizhuang?" Song Jinze looked at him, "Where a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it... don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Song Zixun clenched his fists tightly, and after a while, he asked in a low voice, "Could it be that father meant to tell his son to follow the example of Master Liu, only thinking of currying favors, taking advantage of the opportunity to make money, disregarding the life and death of the people, and being reviled for the rest of his life... "

Song Jinze's face darkened suddenly, and he grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it over, "Nie Zhan, do you think you are a three-year-old child, and you can say whatever you want?! You think you have the blessing of your family, so you dare to act so arbitrarily and without fear , then do you know who is offended by you, and what forces are behind them?!"

Song Jinze pointed at him and scolded angrily, "I thought that after this incident, you should know something good and bad! Who knows that you are still so stubborn! If you really don't even understand this point, you should give me a rest as soon as possible With the heart of being an official, in the future, just be a rich and idle person at home honestly, and it is better than being dragged down by you in the future!"

The teacup fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered, and the tea in it splashed all over Song Zixun.

Song Zixun pursed his lower lip, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "It's my son who said the wrong thing... I beg father to calm down." His eyes were already cold.

In the other room, Du Rongzhi had already returned from Jinghui Garden, and was talking to Xianyun on the kang.

Xianyun was married to the son of Du Rongzhi's Zhuangtou at the beginning. In recent years, she has become more sophisticated and calm in front of the lady in charge of Fengqing Court.

"It's been eight months since the baby was born, and it's about to come to fruition, but something like this happened..." Xianyun sighed, and said in a low voice, "I heard that when the baby was born, there was still a baby. Breath, it's a boy... It's a pity that he left in less than half an hour... Madam fainted on the spot..."

Du Rongzhi had also lost a child before, so she understood the pain of losing a child, even if it was Shen who was hit hard by this incident, she didn't feel that there was anything to be happy about.

Seeing that Zhao's face is still a little pale today... I am afraid that his body is not recovering very well.

Du Rongzhi frowned, "Who is this Tong Fang? How could he be so crazy? The next crime is to murder the first son... How is she trying to kill the fourth sibling, she obviously doesn't want to live!"

Xianyun nodded, "Speaking of the fourth young master's common room, the young lady may also have some impression..."

Du Rongzhi raised her eyebrows.

Xianyun said in a low voice, "That girl's name is Ling Dang, and she used to serve in the young master's study..."

Du Rongzhi was taken aback, "It turned out to be her?"

She immediately remembered, frowned and said, "I remember that girl was very courageous, she secretly conceived the fourth young master's flesh and blood for the sake of her superiority, and was given medicine by our wife in the end... It was the fourth young master who managed to keep her of."

"Young Madam is right." Xianyun nodded, and said in a low voice, "Back then, Madam gave Lingdang a life-long infertility drug... But these years, Fourth Young Master not only didn't dislike her, but took good care of her. I think it's because This made the Fourth Young Madam displeased, and usually beats and scolds Ling Dang, making her even worse than a rude girl."

"Sometimes the fourth young master can't see it, and he will say a few good words for her, but in this way, he annoys the fourth young lady even more... He only looks for places that the fourth young master can't see, and tramples on the bell even more..."

Du Rongzhi listened quietly, and said softly, "Just now at my grandmother's place, I saw the four younger siblings smiling sweetly and making witty remarks, which are very popular with the elders. I don't want to have such a temperament in private..."

"Isn't it?" Xianyun said in a low voice, "Our servants also said in private... Needless to say about the character of you and the second young lady, the third young lady is also a tolerant and good-natured master, only this The fourth young lady..."

Du Rongzhi nodded and said, "Go on."

"Yes." Xianyun continued, "Originally, the fourth young lady wanted to use the bell to show her prestige, so she endured it and passed it... Who knows that the fourth young lady became pregnant soon, and said that the bell's horoscope prospered in her stomach My child, I only call Bell to take care of me every day, even the fourth young master can't even think about getting involved..."
