Chapter 263
Xu Xiaozu was shocked, pointing at Xu Jiatong, his whole body visibly shook with anger: "Why didn't you stop him!"

This time, Xu Jiatong was about to be laughed at, but she held back her smile: "He is from Dai's mansion. In Datong, even the king can't manipulate people from Dai's mansion at will. How can I stop him?" live?"

"After all, no one was killed. Stop him and persuade him with good words. Let's use money to compensate him, won't it be enough? When you go to the yamen, people say that Ding'anhou's mansion has caused official trouble, and the statement has been damaged. How can others talk about it? ?” Xu Xiaozu seemed to be watching the house he built with painstaking efforts over the years, falling apart one by one.

Xu Jiatong finally understood why Xu Xiaozu followed Zhao Yu when he swore an oath, and until now, he has only become a stable but not necessarily rich Lord Marquis.

He has been cherishing his reputation, but he has cherished his reputation in the wrong way, and everything has become pitiful hypocrisy.

"It turns out that you are still worried about what outsiders will say, so you should stop whitewashing the peace. No matter how you excuse them, it is fine, for the sake of the people in the Dai Mansion, Mr. Fu Yin will definitely investigate the matter. I am afraid that you will get into trouble when the time comes." It's not criticism, but someone has to pay the price." Xu Jiatong said flatly.

That's right, although Xu Jiatong and members of the Dai family came back alive, those servants are all dead.When the matter is found out, the mastermind may not be able to escape responsibility.

Xu Xiaozu just refused to admit it on the surface, but he was very clear in his heart that this matter was not done by Lin, who could it be.

Lin is Xu Xiaozu's wife, even if Lin did such a thing, even if he didn't know about it, he would have the reputation of not being strict with his family, and for the rest of his life, he would have no hope in the court.

"This...let me think about it." Xu Xiaozu was pacing up and down in front of the desk, and suddenly had an idea.

"Master Hou, Mr. Fu Yin sent someone over, saying that the fourth girl is going to be sent to testify in the hall." Steward Zhang trotted in in a hurry.

"What, came so fast?" Xu Xiaozu narrowed his eyes.

Xu Xiaozu's title as the Marquis is not En Yin, and Ding'an Hou's Mansion is no more polite than the three-generation or four-generation Marquis. On weekdays, Xu Xiaozu is called "Master" according to the old rules. In front of the people who came, he was called "Hou Ye".

As soon as Xu Xiaozu heard it, he understood that someone was really coming, they came too fast, if it was said that this matter was just made up by the people of Dai Mansion and had nothing to do with Xu Jiatong, he would not believe it no matter what.

"You go with people, you should have a sense of what to say and not to say. You should be a family behind closed doors, and our own family matters can be discussed no matter what." Xu Xiaozu said coercively.

"My daughter has her own measure." Xu Jiatong smiled, took Bi Shui, and followed Steward Zhang to the door-to-door yamen office.

His Excellency Prince Fu Yin was very courteous, and specially sent a carriage to pick up Xu Jiatong, and the servants he sent were also very polite. He told them by the way that Dai Lin, Cheng Ma and Ah Xiang, the stewards of the Dai Mansion, had come to the Yamen gate early in the morning to beat drums and complain about their grievances. At this moment, I have confronted Zhao Ma and Lan Ying several times.

Xu Jiatong sat in the carriage, thinking about Xu Xiaozu's last reaction just now, always felt something was wrong.

"Could he be looking for someone to take the blame?" Xu Jiatong said to himself.

"Miss, are you saying that if someone else is behind the instigation, Madam won't have to bear the responsibility?" Bi Shui also reacted.

"Don't panic, the tree is big and deep, how can it be shaken once or twice? If you can't bite the flesh, why can't you tear off even a little bit of skin." Xu Jiatong smiled.

What's more, it would be too cheap for Lin to be sentenced to death like this, and her debt has not been settled yet.

"Xu's Jiatong pays homage to Mr. Wang." Xu Jiatong saluted and stood aside according to the rules, his eyes fell on Zhao Mama who had not seen him for many days.

Zhao Ma's expression was very abnormal, she was different from ordinary people at first sight, obviously she was going crazy after being stimulated like that, she managed to get out of the sea of ​​fire with great difficulty.

"Miss Xu Fourth, please take a look, the person who led you into the abandoned farm that day and attempted to harm you was this Mrs. Zhao?" Mr. Wang asked.

This Lord Wang is a relative of Wang Rou's clan, although the blood relationship is far away, but he and the Wang family are both in the Western Capital, so how could they have less contact.

Queen Wu ordered Xu Jiatong to help Wang Rou collect the dowry, so he naturally knew it and was more polite to Xu Jiatong.

"In the words of my lord, it is this person." Xu Jiatong explained how he was almost framed and contracted the disease, and how he was almost buried in the flames.

"Then who is this person?" Lord Wang pointed to Lan Ying.

"This person is my stepmother Lin's personal maid Lan Ying." Xu Jiatong said.

"Fourth Miss, why did Madam hurt you? You want Master Hou and Madam to be at odds, and Third Miss to make it difficult for you, but you are unfilial if you frame Madam." Lan Ying knelt down, and as soon as she turned around, she rushed towards Xu Jiatong. Fingers scratched Xu Jiatong's face.

"Insulting the master, are the servants of the Marquis of Ding'an's mansion so rampant? Someone, stop her, don't let her hurt others." Lord Wang only raised his eyelids, and said as if he was used to it.

Lan Ying was like a grasshopper, just jumped a little, and was held down by the yamen servant who stepped forward.With his face on the ground, he struggled and yelled twice.

Zhao's mother was speaking intermittently and frantically, but she obviously hadn't lost her mind. The doctor had seen her and she could count her testimony.

And Dai Lin, who had a wound on his arm, testified, this matter will definitely be pushed to Lin's body.In this way, Lin may be able to save his life, but Lan Ying, a helper from the bottom, will definitely be used as a crime or silenced.

Lan Ying couldn't care less, as long as Xu Jiatong couldn't speak, and could delay it for even half a day, Lin would be able to come up with countermeasures when he got the news.

Xu Jiatong only glanced at her: "I am also the master of the mansion after all. You insult and slander the master, which is a serious crime and should be beaten. But this is not what you should beat the most. Are you guilty?"

"You are a villain in power, you have harmed the third girl, and you have come to harm your wife." Lan Ying was pressed down, but her mouth could not be idle.

"Master Wang, please slap this girl." Xu Jiatong said bluntly, without even looking at Lan Ying this time.

"Oh? Tell me first which one should she fight the most?" Mr. Wang asked.

Xu Jiatong smiled slightly: "This lowly servant girl slandered and said that I murdered my own sister and tried to frame my aunt. This is not true. Besides, the third girl from the Xu family fell off the high platform that day. There are many people in this city who have witnessed the cause and effect. There is even a decree from the Empress Dowager to reprimand her for her inappropriate words and deeds, as well as for being unfilial and disrespectful. If it is according to what this lowly servant girl said, wouldn’t the Empress Dowager be wrong? I can be wrong, but the Empress Dowager Queen can’t be wrong."

"It's good to say that the Queen's Majesty can't do anything wrong." Mr. Wang laughed loudly, and said to the yamen servant beside him, "This lady is disrespectful to the Queen's Majesty, and even slandered the master, give me fifty slaps!"

Slapping the mouth in this yamen is not done with hands, but with a half-inch thick bamboo board, not to mention flesh, even teeth can be knocked out.

Lan Ying was erected first, and then the yamen servant skillfully swung the motherboard and hit her in the face.
