All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 160 Burn some of the largest houses for me, Wu'anbo mansion is finished (two in one)

"Second Master admits that he went to Wanju Building that day to get a private seal to receive the bonus in the name of Master Ninth?" Xie's mother asked quietly.

Su Chengming's face changed slightly, and he immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." He denied it flatly, but his erratic eyes were already full of guilt.

Such an attitude is tantamount to admitting in public that he has ghosts in his heart.

Regardless of whether Mama Xie had the misprinted account paper or not, Su Chengming's confession was enough to show that the person who put the tiger skin money was Zeng.

Xie mother's body, smiled at Su Chengming, then knelt and kowtowed in the direction of the emperor's grandson Chu Yan: "Your Highness, the person who instructed me to make a fake private seal behind her back is Da Furen. , Withdrawing money in the name of Lord Nine, all the money withdrawn with fake private seals were either hidden by the eldest lady as a private treasury, or sent to Wanjulou for loan. The second master was involved in all these matters, and His Highness please investigate thoroughly! "

"You old man who kills thousands of knives! Bloody mouth!"

When Su Chengming heard her report on him like this, he panicked. He didn't care about his fear, so he flew up and kicked Mama Xie.

He was a member of the army, and this kick directly sent the corpse flying and fell heavily to the ground.

"Grandmother!" Lian Qiao struggled to get to Xie's mother's body with both hands and feet, crying bitterly, "Grandma, look at Qiao'er, grandma..."

However, the body was like a kite with a broken string, no movement, let alone a response.

Coincidentally, the eyes of the corpse's head were still open, still gazing at Su Chengming's direction coldly.

"Take Su Chengming down and take him back to the Bei Yamen for a closer interrogation." Chu Yan's cold and serious voice sounded from a distance.

This order, to Su Chengming's ears, was comparable to a life-threatening charm, scarier than evil spirits.

He knew the notoriety of Beiya, if he was really arrested and sent to Beiya, wouldn't he have no way out.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, spare me!"

Su Chengming panicked, turned around and pulled Zeng's sleeve: "Auntie, Auntie, save me."

Mrs. Zeng is in danger now, how can she save him.

But in the end it was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, her most beloved son, thinking of the dangers of the Beiya, Mrs. Zeng wished she could suffer for her son herself.

But there were too many people in front of her eyes, so she could only endure the pain in her heart, and persuaded in a low voice, "Erlang, don't worry, there are so many people, mother can't help you to intercede immediately. But don't worry, you go first, just remember not to If you have to say something, you must grit your teeth and don't say too much, even if you risk your life, mother will definitely find a way to save you."

Mrs. Zeng spoke sincerely.

But Su Chengming didn't think so.

He has always been raised by Mrs. Zeng, when did he experience such a fright.At this moment, she just felt that Mrs. Zeng was deceiving herself, treating herself as a three-year-old child.

How could he not know that a place like Beiya could be saved if he wanted to.

He thought that his own mother would stand up and take over the matter alone, lest he be arrested and suffer in the Beiya.

But I didn't expect that he just asked him "don't talk too much"?
Is this to make him bear all the guilt?

"Aniang, tell them quickly, I don't know anything, I don't know."

Su Chengming hurriedly said: "I have been in Tongwuguan all the time, how do I know these things, I have always done what you asked me to do..."

Mrs. Zeng's face changed slightly, she would never have expected it anyway, just relying on the words of Xie Mama's fraudulent corpse.

Just a moment ago, he was filial and protecting his son, but he turned his back so easily.

Mrs. Zeng felt a mouthful of old blood rushing to her throat.

When Su Chengming saw the embroiderers approaching him, he pushed Mrs. Zeng forward without thinking about it.

"Your Highness, it's my mother. My mother instructed me to go to Wanjulou to collect bonuses. It's her and has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything!"

The moment she was pushed out by her own son, Mrs. Zeng finally tasted the feeling of being stabbed in the heart.

She was extremely angry, with blood gushing from her throat, but she still tried to admit it.

This is her own son. Since he has testified against her, if she refuses to admit it, is it possible that he can still throw the dirty water back?

"It's...it's me." Mrs. Zeng gritted her teeth and plopped on the ground, "It's me who can't see my ancestor squandering the money from the public to my uncle. Only then did I instruct Mama Xie to engrave a private seal in the name of my ancestors, and return... Seeing that the money is open, she went to Wanjulou to put tiger skin money."

Hearing her confession, Su Chengming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that he had survived the catastrophe without any danger.

Unexpectedly, the embroidered clothes envoy still surrounded him, grabbed his shoulders, and dragged him out.

"Hey, Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm innocent, I'm innocent! Your Highness, it's all my mother, my mother did it! She admitted it, why are you arresting me?"

Listening to these testimonies, Zeng felt the sweet smell in her throat getting thicker and thicker.

Wu Anbo and Su Wei strode up to her, and asked with a dark face, "So, you also killed my mother?"

"No, no, no." Mrs. Zeng repeatedly denied, "Master, my mother-in-law is very kind to this concubine, how could this concubine treat her so cruelly. The concubine was only blinded by money for a while, and only then did I know that my old man After my ancestor was murdered, I thought...if I could push the mother-in-law's death onto my uncle's head, I would be able to take his share of the family property as my own. The concubine only made money and never killed her. The concubine really didn't harm my mother-in-law!"

She tried her best and said every word sincerely.

But he forgot that there was a corpse next to her, looking at her silently and coldly.

"You are lying!"

"It's clear that you ordered me to kill my ancestor!"

Before Mrs. Zeng could explain, Yang Shuangwen's dead body stood up stiffly, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in a cold voice, "The villain is Yang Shuangwen, the accountant of Wanbao Bank. The villain was instructed by someone to sneak into the uncle's mansion and kill him." The ancestors pushed down the rockery, and the villain is the real murderer."

As soon as these words came out, all eyes inside and outside the mourning hall fell on Yang Shuangwen's corpse.

Mrs. Zeng trembled when she heard his voice, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, Yang Shuangwen pointed at her with his hands covered in corpse spots.

"Before I was born, I was kicked out of the house because I gave tiger skin money for my second grandmother. In desperation, Mrs. Uncle Zeng ordered Zhao Chunlan to come to the door and asked me to go to Wanbao Bank and sell nine short positions for her in the name of Master Nine. The master's money lends money."

"After the collapse of Wanju Building, Mrs. Zeng knew that I owed a large amount of foreign debts, so he bought me with a lot of money and let me sneak into the house and kill the ancestors."

"Later, the Embroidery Envoy intervened. She was worried that Dongchuang's incident would happen, so she took my wife and children who came to Beijing to visit relatives to her villa in the southern suburbs, and threatened them with their lives, and asked me to commit suicide. There was no proof of my death, so that I would not be found out by the Embroidery Envoy. What."

"You're talking nonsense, I don't know you at all." Mrs. Zeng quickly denied, "You are Xie Wanyan's cousin. You have a relationship with her. You have always worked for her. You have never met me."

She looked at Chu Yan: "Your Highness, I never knew this person. He is slandering me. I am a woman who lives in the inner house. How could I send someone to arrest his wife and children and threaten him? It's just ridiculous."

Yang Shuangwen had already expected that she would say this.

"She promised to send my wife and children back to the south of the Yangtze River after I committed suicide. Unexpectedly... the night before yesterday, my wife and children died at her hands. My wife and children's corpses are still in her villa. Your Highness can send someone there Investigate."

If it hadn't been found in the Embroidery Envoy's file that his wife and children had not returned to Jiangnan, he would not have discovered the truth that his wife and children died in Biezhuang.

Yang Shuangwen said quietly again: "Part of the profit from Zeng's tiger skin money is put into the tiger skin money, and the other part is stored in an account named Zeng Qi in Wanbao Bank. , is a private seal with Zeng Qi's name engraved on it, and that private seal is now in her purse, please His Highness to verify it."

This time, without waiting for Chu Yan to express anything, Wu An Bo Su Wei strode forward and tore off the purse from Zeng's waist, and a private seal came out of it.

On that side's private seal, the word "Zeng Qi" is impressively engraved.

This is a false name, if Yang Shuangwen hadn't personally testified, who would have known that Zeng Qi was the account opened by the Zeng family at Wanbao Bank.

At this moment, the embroiderer in the hall, with sharp eyes and quick hands, caught a servant woman wearing a white velvet flower from a corner of the mourning hall, trying to sneak out of the mourning hall.

It was none other than Zhao Chunlan.

When Zhao Chunlan saw that Zeng's death certificate was confirmed, she was already frightened out of her wits.

Now being caught by the Embroidery Envoy, there was no need for others to interrogate her, so she told all about how Mrs. Zeng let her find Yang Shuangwen and how she tricked Lianqiao and Mama Xie. .

"...The eldest lady said that the second grandma is 'the lice don't itch'. She focused on Yang Shuangwen, thinking that one day, if something happened to the east window, Yang Shuangwen and the second grandma would steal the public money with the second grandma based on the relationship between Yang Shuangwen and the second grandma. With something like tiger skin money, you can still pour dirty water on Second Mistress..."

So far, the evidence is complete.

Even so, Mrs. Zeng still refused to plead guilty, "No, I didn't kill anyone, they framed me for these..."

"Auntie."

Suddenly, a soft call came from the side, interrupting her words.

Mrs. Zeng followed the prestige, and saw her eldest son Su Chengye, who had never said a word in the mourning hall today, walking up to her.

"Plead guilty, Ma'am."

Su Chengye said sadly: "My son found Xiao An yesterday and handed Xiao An over to the Embroiderer. In order to control your second sister-in-law, you instructed Xiao An to lure her to a rockery and let her witness the incident. Afterwards, you sent someone Killing Xiao An happened to be rescued by the Zheng family. Everything you did, my son has already told His Highness..."

Su Chengye's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making Mrs. Zeng's face pale in an instant.

She never imagined that her evil deeds had already been exposed by her elder son.

"Son, do you know that if you condemn me and have a mother and grandmother like me, how will you and your children and grandchildren stand in front of the world in the future?"

"Since you know this truth, why do you want to commit such a crime." Su Chengye said sadly: "The son would rather atone for his sins in the world's scolding in the future than his mother's obsession with no regrets."

Mrs. Zeng smiled miserably when she heard this, and sat on the ground weakly.

She did all this for the sake of her two sons.

Unexpectedly, in the end, a wolf's heart turned against the water.

The other... But he couldn't see her acting like this.

Then what's the point of her doing all this.

Su Chengye didn't want to look at Mrs. Zeng again, turned around and walked in front of his ancestor, knelt down, "Grandmother, my grandson is unfilial, it's my grandson's existence that made my mother greedy, so I ask grandma to punish her."

Wu'an Bo Su Wei also walked up to the ancestor, and knelt down on the ground, "Mother, the child is not filial, it is the child who did not take good care of you!"

The father and son kowtowed heavily and cried bitterly on the ground.

Even Su Xian, who was next to him, watched the ins and outs, walked up to the ancestor, knelt down and bowed his head, crying bitterly, "Mother, it is the son who harmed you. If the son hadn't insisted on taking the money, mother would not have suffered such a disaster... ..."

The mourning hall was filled with deep sorrow because of the bitter cries of the three people.

Shen Lingxi walked behind the ancestor, twisted a silk thread, and moved her fingertips slightly.

The old ancestor's corpse raised his hand slightly, and patted his son and grandson's shoulders lightly.

"Dalang, Chengye, the two of you have been stationed at the border all the year round, guarding our Dazhou mountains and rivers, and being loyal to the court is the glory of my Su family. Although I died unexpectedly this time, I can see that you can keep your hearts upright after death. , I am very pleased."

She looked at Su Xian again, stroked the top of his hair, "Jiulang, mother thought you were ignorant and wandering around all day, but mother misunderstood you. You are paying for the orphans of the Su family army to pay off your father's debt." , mother supports you. Don’t question your own Dao and benevolence because of the faults of others.”

Su Xian nodded with tears streaming down his face.

The eyes of the ancestors looked at the relatives and old friends gathered together in the mourning hall.

Some came to watch the fun, and some were genuinely concerned.

What hurt her the most was that after her death, there was a whole lot of intrigues in the mansion.

The only thing that is gratifying is that there are still good people among the descendants, who are not bad at the root.

In this way, when she goes to the underworld in the future, she can also explain to the ancestors of the Su family.

Thinking of these, the old ancestor suddenly became enlightened.

As Liu Lang said to her, if you want to remember the sweetness in your heart, you have to look forward.

She said to everyone: "Today is my wife's seventh day. Thank you everyone for coming to see me off. These two sons and the eldest grandson and grandson-in-law will be taken care of by everyone in the future."

The onlookers, after watching the hustle and bustle of this big family, some felt novelty, some were emotional, and some felt sorry for their ancestors.

At this moment, for the first time in their lives, these people shuddered unanimously when they were named by the "resurrected" corpse, feeling... a little weird.

The old ancestor had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, the soul laughed, and the corners of the mouth of the corpse's face were also parted.

Seeing that the two sons and the eldest grandson are still immersed in grief.

The old ancestor's corpse said with a stiff voice but with a little lightness: "If you still feel guilty, then... burn some of the biggest houses to me, and ask Shen's paper shop to produce new ones. Pick the most expensive to buy..."

"I'm leaving, let's see you in the next life!"

After saying this, the old ancestor's body leaned back, leaned back on the chair, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and closed his eyes.

Shen Lingxi also quietly let go of the soul thread in her hand.

After a few breaths of silence, there was another painful cry...

*
In one night, during the night of the first seven soul-resurrections of the ancestors of the Wu'an Bo Mansion, Su Xian and Taoist Master Miao Ling performed a technique at the same time, allowing three corpses to come back to testify against the murderer, and the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

Mrs. Wu Anbo, Mrs. Zeng, was sentenced to death for murdering her mother-in-law.

Su Chengming, Lianqiao, Xie Wanyan, Zhao Chunlan, and the stewards around Zeng, as Zeng's accomplices, were sentenced to imprisonment, hanging, and exile according to the severity of the crime.

Wu Anbo wrote to the emperor overnight, asking himself to be deprived of his title. After burying his ancestors and keeping a filial piety, he took his eldest son Su Chengye and his daughter-in-law Zheng to Tongwuguan.

After Su Xian inherited the property of Bofu, he entrusted Shen Lingxi with the property in his hand, combined the orphan of the Su family army with the good hall of Fu'an Hall, and asked Shen Lingxi to take care of it on his behalf.

At the same time, all the dignitaries in the capital, down to the common people, were all amazed by Shen Lingxi and Su Xian's first seven "soul-returning techniques".

Especially the last sentence of the ancestor before he left, "burn some of the biggest houses", made Shen's paper shop, together with Shen's coffin shop, and the funeral business of the entire Wangxian Village explode in an instant.

In the past, people in this world have never been to the underworld, so they don't know whether the paper tie is useful or not.

But now, the ancestor of Wu Anbo who "returned to the soul" came from the underworld. Since she asked her descendants to burn the house, it meant that Shen's paper bundles would definitely be burned to the underworld.

Because of this, for a while, all relatives who have passed away at home, whether it is a new funeral or an old funeral, all come to Wangxian Village to buy paper bundles.

Wangxian Village, which is engaged in funeral business, is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, bustling like a downtown.

Thanks to the help of his younger brother Yun Huang to take care of it, Shen Lingxi was not so busy.

After she took a breath, she received the imperial decree from the emperor ordering her to enter the palace.

And almost at the same time, in front of the desk of the Beiya Commander, Chun Jun also raised his hands and reported to Chu Yan, "The emperor announced that you will enter the palace immediately, saying that... to discuss your marriage, and also announced that Miss Shen will enter the palace." ..."

　I didn't expect to write this game for such a long time. It was a new attempt, but I accidentally got stuck in the game.

　　Now that I have a reputation, and I am not afraid of the emperor's suspicion, I have to do a good job in my relationship, career and life experience.

　　The future rounds will not be written so long again.

　　Thank you for your rewards, votes, comments, and updates. Please forgive me for the many shortcomings. I will work hard to improve. I love you, refill~
