Chapter 175
Report to the police
"These two old guys are really a perfect match. Not only are they selfish and insidious, they are also ignorant and unreasonable. Lady Goddess, Lord Xu, they killed their son themselves. This kind of thing should be reported to the police and let Lord Wang kill them to prevent them from harming others again."
"Of course they did. Not only did they kill their own son, they also abused their daughter-in-law. They even despised their only child and wanted her dead. My house is only two houses away from hers. I can stand up and testify that the old woman beat and scolded her daughter-in-law. The old man didn't treat her daughter-in-law as a human being, but as an animal. He scolded her daughter-in-law all day long for being unlucky for her husband, for not being able to have children, and for not having babies that grow up fast. He wanted them to die early. It's a pity that the daughter-in-law had to touch cold water during the confinement period, do all kinds of work, and even cook for them."
"This matter must be reported to the police."
As they spoke, some people rushed out of the crowd, running and shouting.
"Lord Wang should be drinking tea in the teahouse right now. I know he has this habit, so I went to invite him. It's really infuriating. He killed his son and grandson. There are few people like him in the world."
The old couple has been arrogant all their lives and has been bullying the next generation all their lives.
At this moment, being scolded by so many people from the neighbors one after another, the old man was so angry that the blue veins on his neck were bulging. With a pair of fierce eyes, he turned around and shouted with a cold brow.
"You think I, Old Chen, am easy to bully, don't you? If you shout that again, I'll dig your mouths out with my hoe and beat you till your teeth are all over the floor."
Although the old man is old, he is in good health and has a strong voice when he roars. Coupled with the old woman's sharp tongue, the two of them working together make people feel unable to resist.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting behind a screen. When he heard the old couple's arrogant and shameless words, his hand holding the hot tea paused slightly.
So to speak.
The attitude he has always maintained is that we should give and take, and only when the people support him can he care for the people.
He really felt that such cold-blooded, ignorant, stubborn and unreasonable people should not be tolerated.
Lord Wang liked to go to a teahouse every five or six days to drink tea, listen to operas, and hear what the people said. When he heard his subordinates coming to report, he would rush to the Imperial Observatory as quickly as possible.
The course of events had already been known on the way, and as he entered the prison with a sullen face, the people hastily crowded to both sides, making way for him.
When they saw Lord Wang, the old couple were not afraid. Instead, they held their heads high and looked as if they were very right.
"Sit down, Lord Wang."
Xu Zhiyan had someone bring a chair over, and after Lord Wang sat down, he asked him.
"Master Xu, I already know what happened. It would be best if the child could be saved, and..."
Lord Wang looked at the young woman.
The young woman was stared at fiercely by the four old men and women. She was trembling with fear. It was obvious that she was often bullied and suppressed.
Lord Wang frowned.
"Chen Zhaoshi."
"My wife is here."
The young woman hastily knelt before Lord Wang.
Seeing her so obedient, the old man spat fiercely.
"I see that officials are different. They kneel more neatly. I, your father-in-law, asked you to kneel, but you still refused."
Lord Wang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and turned around and said.
"Slap him!"
Before the old man could react, someone rushed up and several people grabbed him and slapped him on the face dozens of times.
The old woman was so frightened when she saw this that she started screaming and shouting to the sky, "Someone is killing people. The government is killing people. The Shuntian Prefecture is killing people."
Lord Wang was not willing to tolerate it, so he had the old woman slapped twenty times in the face.
He beat the two old guys until they vomited blood from the corners of their mouths and even lost several teeth.
Lord Wang looked at the young woman again.
"Are you willing to leave the Chen family and live alone with your child, or continue to stay in the Chen family?"
Is this going to move out for her?
The young woman was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She even doubted if she had heard it wrongly. This kind of thing... She would be buried with her husband and never thought of being able to leave the Chen family.
With her own strength, even if the baby rotted in the Chen family, she would be powerless to do anything, and her parents' family would not care.
But at this moment, the official was asking her in front of everyone, are you willing to leave?
The young woman held the child and kowtowed, wanting to speak. The old woman saw this and spoke sternly with a raised eyebrow.
"Just try and walk away!"
Then he looked at Lord Wang again.
"Sir Wang, even though you are in charge of the entire capital, you cannot interfere in the affairs of ordinary people. She is a good wife in my family, but you want her to leave. Are you attracted to her? What's so good about her? She is so thin that she can't even give birth to a son."
Lord Wang was so angry at the old woman's words that he slammed the table and pointed at her angrily.
"Beat him. Beat him hard."
I have seen people who are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, but I have never seen such ignorant people who are so desperate for their lives.
When the old woman heard that she was going to be beaten again, her face changed drastically, she sat down on the ground and started howling.
"Oh my God, what kind of fate is this for me? My son just died, and the government officials want to take my daughter-in-law away to be a concubine. They also want to beat and kill us old couple. Oh my God."
As the old woman spoke, she rolled over on the ground. Her aggressive and shameless appearance was so annoying that it gave people a headache.
Jiang Zhaoying glanced at her and said to Lord Wang.
"Not only are people afraid of this kind of person, but officials are also afraid of her. She is sure that everyone is afraid of her, so she is unscrupulous. Lord Wang, this trend must not be allowed to continue, otherwise everyone in the capital will follow her example, and there will be no order at all."
"That makes sense."
What Lord Wang hates most is this kind of unreasonable and rude people, but you can't do anything about them. As a result, these ordinary people become more and more unreasonable and shameless.
Especially with so many people watching today, if something like this starts, countless people will imitate it, and the order in the capital will be disrupted.
"Brother."
Jiang Zhaoying looked at A Yu. A Yu's first reaction was that he knew she was calling him, but he was still slightly stunned. The black hole deep in his heart was finally torn open and let in the sunlight, and he came back to life.
He turned his head, his eyes gentle.
"The child's father must be very worried about them, so he stayed there all the time. This is one of the reasons why the child is weak, but the real reason is that there is a main tomb three generations ago that has been dripping with severed heads, and there should be something harmful to people in the soil. Go check it out, and if there are any large trees or things that are not suitable, chop them down and dig them up."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started talking about it.
To be honest, they didn't know each other before, so the goddess wouldn't care where his family's grave is, nor would she fake it. If this was true, then the goddess must be very powerful.
then.
Lord Wang called people out and picked out a few people who were familiar with the old man from the crowd, as well as one or two relatives, and went out to check together.
Xu Zhiyan drew a talisman and burned it next to the little girl. After a while, the little girl started crying loudly, opening her little mouth left and right, asking for milk.
The young woman was surprised and happy, and after a while she started crying and embarrassed herself with Jiang Zhaoying.
"I...I have no milk."
Jiang Zhaoying looked at the crowd, and before she could say anything, an older woman raised her hand.
"I have, I have. I just gave birth to a baby who is only three months old. I am willing to feed it."
The eldest sister stepped forward to take the child and patted the young woman's hand.
"The goddess said that your child will be blessed in the future, so I want to share in the blessing as well."
The young woman hurriedly thanked him.
"If my sister doesn't mind, let her recognize you as her godmother."
The eldest sister was happy to hear this.
"I gave birth to a son who is three months old, and you gave birth to a daughter. If you are willing, we can become in-laws."
Having said that, the eldest sister happily turned around and held the little girl in her arms and was led into the inner room by the servant. After a while, someone came out and said that the little girl was eating very well and sucking it with big gulps.
Everyone listened and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When the eldest sister came out after feeding the baby, holding the sleeping baby, the people outside also came back.
Sure enough, a big tree grew next to their great-grandfather's grave. Once it rained, all the water on the leaves dripped onto the grave. Day after day, the grave was in a mess and not a single grass grew on it.
The tree has been cut down now, and the grave has been arranged by the village headman, who will repair it when he chooses a date.
in addition.
Just as Jiang Zhaoying said, something was dug out above the grave.
When the old man and the old woman saw that thing, a trace of panic flashed across their faces. Jiang Zhaoying raised her hand and the servant presented the thing in front of them. Jiang Zhaoying asked them with a cold face.
"Are you familiar with it?"
The old man took a step back in fear, and the old woman rushed forward and threw the thing to the ground.
"How could we possibly know about this thing? The goddess wouldn't rely on her status to say that we were the ones who placed this thing there."
"Didn't you guys put it there?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sound of gasps from the crowd. How could this be possible? Would there be people so stupid as to bury unlucky things on top of their ancestor's graves?
"Of course not, you can't wrongly accuse us like this."
Jiang Zhaoying didn't say any more words to them and just asked them.
"Then I will invite all your ancestors to come up and confront them, how about that?"
The old couple wanted to shout more, but their relatives stepped forward and scolded them.
"You think the goddess is joking with you, you shameless thing, wait till the ancestors come up and see how cruel you are and take you away to be punished."
The old man was shocked when he heard what his cousin said. He turned around and glared at Jiang Zhaoying and shook his head.
"Impossible, impossible, how could it hurt my own lineage?"
"So you want those things to hurt our veins? We are cousins, how can you be so heartless? Isn't it enough that I have helped you?"
The cousin was so angry that he gritted his teeth, picked up something and hit the old man with a stick. The old man fell to the ground, his lips trembling and his face full of disbelief.
He just wanted to weaken the families of his brothers, but he didn't want to harm his own son.
"My lord, they deserve to die. They deserve to die."
The old man's cousin knelt in front of Lord Wang, and then all the relatives of the Chen family came forward.
"Sir, please punish these murderers severely."
Jiang Zhaoying raised her eyes and looked towards the little woman's side. The little woman hurriedly turned her head following her gaze, but saw nothing. While crying, she asked Jiang Zhaoying.
"Goddess, is he here?"
"I let him in. He's here."
The little woman wiped her tears.
"Please tell him that I really have no choice. I am leaving, but I will raise the children and will not remarry."
Jiang Zhaoying looked to her side and pointed at the child.
"If you stay here all the time, the child will be weak, and you heard what she said. I will help you take care of him. Are you assured?"
The unreal figure listened to Jiang Zhaoying's words, sadness appeared in his eyes, he slowly knelt down and bowed to Jiang Zhaoying.
Seeing that he still refused to leave, Jiang Zhaoying asked the young woman again.
"Well, my shop still needs help. If you are willing, you can come and work. The shopkeeper will arrange your food and accommodation, and will also help you take care of the child. I will definitely not let you get cold or hungry."
"Yes, I am willing. I am willing."
The young woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and her confused look just now was completely gone.
She can do a lot of things. As long as she can work and make money, she can support her children. Then she turned to the elder sister and said.
"If my eldest sister doesn't mind and my parents are willing to marry me, I know a lot of skills, I'm hardworking, and I'm not afraid of hardship. I will definitely not be a burden to the children."
"That's fine."
The eldest sister became happy when she heard this.
Jiang Zhaoying also asked them to take the child to her own pharmacy to ask the doctor to help take care of the child and the young woman.
Everyone thought it was a very appropriate thing to do, but at this moment, the old man and the old woman jumped up and stopped the young woman, saying that they would never let her get rid of her citizenship no matter what.
This time Lord Wang did not indulge her. He had the formalities completed on the spot and gave the young woman her freedom.
Then.
The Chen family filed a complaint on the spot, accusing the old couple of having ill intentions and plotting to murder their descendants. Lord Wang arrested the old couple and put them in jail without saying a word.
what goes around comes around.
The common people were very satisfied and happy with the outcome of the matter, so they bowed respectfully and left chatting and laughing.
The older sister held the child, led the young woman, and followed Jiang Zhaoying's people to the shop to settle down first. After they were settled, they went to thank Jiang Zhaoying.
After calming down.
Lord Wang hurriedly went behind the screen to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The prince said to him.
"This trend really cannot be allowed to continue. Go and discuss with the Ministry of Rites to publish some books that teach people, print them out and distribute them for free to the people, and share some cases so that everyone can be more cautious. The evil spirit has just passed and the New Year is approaching. Strengthen the prevention in the capital and support more shops to ensure that everyone has a lively New Year."
"Your Highness is wise. I will do it immediately."
After everyone left the Imperial Observatory, Jiang Zhaoying and the prince were about to return to their respective homes, and Jiang Zhaoying asked him.
"Has King Yueming really left?"
"He's already on his way, but he encountered bandits and wrote a letter saying he was seriously injured, hoping that the emperor would recall him, but I stopped the letter, and the emperor still doesn't know anything."
Jiang Zhaoying couldn't help but sneer after hearing this.
"Then he can only continue on his way. Your Highness, I will return to the Jiang Mansion first."
"good."
Then.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent Jiang Zhaoying back to the Jiang Mansion before returning to the Crown Prince's Mansion.
Sitting on the couch, Jiang Zhaoying relaxed her body and nestled into the cushion. Abao came up and threw himself into her arms. Jiang Zhaoying hugged it and touched its head.
"Going out again?"
"That's right. It runs around and turns over everywhere when you're not around."
Although Abao is not very big, he is getting stronger and stronger after exercising, and he can run faster and faster. They can hardly catch up with him.
"Miss."
Nanny Li brought in the soup and saw that she looked tired, so she felt sorry for her.
"Drink the soup quickly to replenish your body."
Jiang Zhaoying always liked to drink the soup cooked by Nanny Li. After drinking a bowl obediently, Nanny Li asked her again.
"Is the Fourth Miss Liu really hidden by the Emperor? Hiding his own daughter-in-law is too shameless."
Jiang Zhaoying smiled.
"There have always been many dirty things in the royal family since ancient times."
Shu Yu listened and her eyes rolled around.
"If the young lady really becomes the Crown Princess and takes that position, won't she..."
"Pooh."
Shu Yun's face changed drastically, he rushed over and covered Shu Yu's mouth, saying anxiously.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There is no taboo at all. Spit now."
