Chapter 677

When the yamen servants went to fetch people, they found a Buddhist altar in Wang Xiaonan's home that enshrined tablets of ancestors. Wang Xiaonan even enshrined the tablets of his elder brother Wang Xiaodong, but there were no three tablets for his deceased wife and children. The children born take it for granted that their mother is the first spouse, and the father is older because he married a wife late. They don't even know that there is a pair of older brothers and sisters before them.

Wang Xiaonan made a full confession after only one day of interrogation after he was put in prison. He admitted that he poisoned his first wife, but the two children were not done by him. It was his second wife who could not tolerate them after giving birth to her own children. Not at home, signaled to the servants to do it.

So Wang Xiaonan's step-wife, Tang, and her servants were put in prison for interrogation, and she quickly confessed that Tang ordered his servants to beat up his stepchild and cause internal injuries, and then pretended to be infected with the epidemic, struggled for a few days and died in pain, but in fact With Wang Xiaonan's permission, he deliberately went out to pretend to be innocent that day, and borrowed Tang's hands to get rid of the burden left by his ex-wife.

Of the three children born to the Tang family, the oldest was less than ten years old. Since all their close relatives were involved in the case, no one took care of them, so they had to be sent to the poorhouse. .

Wang Xiaonan belongs to the fringe people on that rope. Through the relationship between his elder brother and the Yue family, he can be used as a helper when he has something to do, and he can earn a lot of money by doing small things. Therefore, he is devoted to his elder brother, but he doesn't know the people in the inner circle. For secrets, Wang Xiaodong treats him almost like an errand boy, and doesn't let him get involved in important and confidential matters.

If we only look at it from this aspect, Wang Xiaonan is at best an accomplice, and the crime is very light. It is estimated that Wang Xiaodong planned to do so before he was alive, so as not to let his brother know too much. Tang's murder of a pair of stepchildren also did not end well.

The context of this case is clear and the evidence is solid, and the verdict was pronounced within a few days. Next, Wang Xiaonan will wait for the death penalty to be reviewed, while his wife, Tang Shi, will be sentenced to hard labor and sent away.

Concubine Zhao Xian was ordered to ground her feet, and she didn't know a word about the outside news. Her two sons and daughters dared not enter the palace to intercede again in order to avoid suspicion. Originally, Prince Yu's Mansion and Eldest Princess' Mansion were full of traffic and visitors every day.

The interrogation of Shao Yiping in the palace was not smooth. He admitted that he was the old servant of Concubine Zhao Xian, and he also admitted that he had colluded with Wang Xiaodong to buy off the petty official who guarded the warehouse, and stole the Bai family recipes and kept them privately in the palace. He insisted that he didn't know anything about it, including last year's matter of the crown princess's poor diet, he complained about everything, and pushed it all to the dead Wang Xiaodong, anyway, there is no evidence for death.

The relatives outside Shao Yiping's palace were also as tight-lipped as he was. Naturally, they knew what crimes they had committed for many years. What's more, they had their own relatives and friends who followed suit. Who was Concubine Zhao Xian? In ten years, if she confessed to her, he might die faster, and if she was accused of framing a concubine in the harem and implicated again, it would be impossible to know how many people would die.

Knowing that the price was heavy, men, women and children all gritted their teeth. They knew very well that as long as Concubine Zhao Xian was not involved, and as long as she was safe, King Yu and the Eldest Princess would be safe, and their siblings would guarantee the safety of their other relatives in the Tang family.

Therefore, once the incident occurs and faces interrogation, there is already a set of ways to deal with it. The female relatives can just deny everything and push the matter to the men. The traditional custom of the male leading the outside and the female leading the inside can indeed help them escape the harsh interrogation , while the men only admitted that they had done some lucrative things through the relationship between uncle and nephew Shao Yiping and the imperial kitchen, and all the benefits were shared with this nephew. As for who Shao Yiping colluded with, they didn't know.

The residents of Qianhuaifang knew that there were people in the Tang family, because they never concealed it, but after King Yu and the eldest princess secretly sent people to threaten and lure them to warn them, everyone in the workshop became silent and claimed that the Tang family The residents don't know the details of the matter, they only know that they have backers and cannot be messed with.

Based on this situation, if the Tang family did not confess truthfully, there was really nothing they could do about it.

After all, there is no evidence of their direct collusion with the harem.

After reading the existing confessions, the sage made a final decision, and that's it.

Concubine Zhao Xian escaped unharmed in the end.

Shao Yiping was destined to die, and the men and women of the Tang family did not end well either. The women and children were sent to the Jiaofang as slaves and prostitutes. The men were exiled for three thousand miles, and eight months of the year were winter. slaves in the bitter cold land.

The King of Yu and the Eldest Princess protected the old in-laws of the Tang family respectively, and provided them with official guides for caravans. Each family mixed into different caravans and flew high, never returning to Beijing for generations.

The sage revoked Concubine Zhao Xian's confinement order and sent many rewards to comfort her. She stayed in her bedroom that night. After one night, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Zhao Xian was still the most honored woman in the harem.

Concubine Zhao Xian's pride in regaining favor was still on Concubine Zhao's face, and she immediately heard the latest news. After so many days of delays, Dongshou's regular rewards were finally distributed, and the Bai family's recipes that were seized earlier, As a reward for Bai Kou, it has already been sent to Duke Ye's mansion.

Concubine Zhao Xian's heart skipped a beat. Based on her understanding of the sage, she felt something was wrong. It seemed that the sage valued Bai Kou, a lowly maid, more and more.

Thinking about the few days in Dongshou, this girl served tea at noon. People outside the tent kept hearing laughter from inside, and they didn't know what tricks this girl used to make the saint happy, or she took the opportunity to make the saint happy. What benefits did the sage promise? Bai Kou, a lowly maidservant, is young and capable, so she must not be underestimated.

After thinking about it, Concubine Zhao Xian felt that she still had to create an accident to get rid of Bai Kou. She would make people sleepless if she lived for one more day, and would always remind people of the past over and over again, especially the loss of her life because of it. Shao Yiping made her heartache and angry when she thought about it, and it was no longer her turn to intervene in the Imperial Kitchen and the Superintendent of Food that she had firmly grasped in her hands.

Since Shao Yiping was convicted because of the recipes of the Bai family, let Bai Kou pay for his life. After she died, Gu Yun lost a powerful arm, which was just good for him to insert his own people inside through his grandson Shi Tianmin. It's hard to say whether the factory will still have the surname Gu.

Concubine Zhao Xian, who was conscious of her ingenuity, finally put away her ruthless expression and murderous intent in her heart, and she had a smile on her face. She ordered the maids to dress her up, and she was going to take a walk outside to pay her respects to the Queen and the Queen Mother.
