Chapter 379

Ruo Wuxue's expression changed.

Wang Hua said: "If you want people not to know, unless you don't do it yourself."

Ruo Wuxue's expression turned miserable, and she said after a while: "Scholar Wang, if you want to hear, let me clarify first. It may be related to a big shot."

Having said that, she wanted to stop talking.

Wang Hua smiled and said, "But let me also state that, unless it's about the emperor or empress, I don't know about several fatal cases. If I know it, it's still within my authority. I will definitely investigate to the end."

What Wang Hua said was not exaggerated.In fact, if Li Xian pushed him into a hurry, maybe Wang Hua would have the guts to pull him down. The world still needs an emperor, but there are not too many candidates for the emperor.Even the Li clan still has many bloodlines alive in the world.

Ruo Ruxue thought back on what Wang Hua had done in the past few months, and believed it.So Xu Xu said: "This matter starts from the first year of Yongchun. In the spring of this year, my father and mother just got married in the spring. But a few months later, there was a famine in Guanzhong first, and then there was a heavy rain in Luoyang. Locust plagues and plagues. A bucket of rice costs [-] qian, and hungry people are everywhere. At that time, my parents were in Guozhou. Since April, Gaozu had issued an edict to let the people go to Luoyang to eat. So there were still his children under the hunger. My younger sister, that is, my aunt, came to Luoyang together. However, Luoyang flooded in May. My parents had nowhere to go, so my father went to Bianzhou alone to find a way to survive."

This was also caused by the taxation of the Tang Dynasty. Taxes were calculated according to Ding, so the people were not allowed to flee their hometowns.Unless arranged by the government, they will be executed if they are caught.Therefore, Ruo Ruxue's father didn't dare to take her mother away without deciding on the road ahead.

"Later, my father came to Bianzhou. Fortunately, because he could read and write, he had some talent for painting. So he was valued by a jade craftsman and accepted as an apprentice. But my father did not forget his mother. He told the master that I returned to Luoyang again. But the situation in Luoyang became worse at this time. Although my father left almost all the money on his body when he left, the money was quickly used up by my mother because of the rising price of rice. My aunt was forced to return to Guozhou At that time, my mother was pregnant with me and fell ill. She stayed in Luoyang and had no way to return to her hometown. Finally, one day, she passed out on the road because of hunger. I saved him and let my mother live in a small courtyard in his house. My mother got some relief from him, and she knew some weaving skills. So she came to the city to make a living alone. But this made my father come to Luoyang, but found I can't see her anymore. Plus many people died at that time. My father thought she was dead, so he cried a lot, and then went to Guozhou to pick up my aunt and returned to Bianzhou. In the winter of this year, my mother She gave birth to me. It happened to be snowing heavily that day. So my mother named me Ruo Ruxue."

Everyone was silent and speechless, the little girl's life experience was very pitiful, which made people feel miserable.

"Later, after this change, my father became disheartened and devoted himself to making jade, and his skills soon surpassed that of several other brothers in the same school. Seeing my father's hardworking appearance, his master's only daughter valued him. But His father still didn't agree, until the next year he went back to Guozhou to look for it again, but he still didn't hear from his mother, so he finally joined his master's family and changed his surname from Ruo to Ding. My aunt felt resentful, and later my aunt found out about it, and found a good family in Junyi County, and married her far away."

Hearing this, everyone already knew who her father was.

"Actually, it was God's will. At that time, my mother gave birth to me. She was not in good health. Before and after the birth, she fell ill in bed. It was not until the next summer that her body recovered, and then I begged the one who rescued her. A Lang helped her and sent someone to Bianzhou to find my father's whereabouts. This A Lang also agreed, but at this time my father changed his surname, and my aunt married far away to Junyi County. He couldn't find it, but he heard my father The news that my aunt was picked up, I knew that he was still alive. But in the third year, this Alang’s wife found out about it. She thought he had some ambiguous relationship with my mother, so she kicked our mother and daughter out At that time, my mother had just recovered, so she just left Luoyang and went to Bianzhou to see if she could hear from my father. But she was a weak woman with no connections. My father was disheartened , shut up in the workshop all day and couldn’t come out. It took another three years, and my mother gave up, so she returned to Luoyang again, rented a simple house, continued to weave, and raised me. But she Still waiting for my father to come back, this time, I have been waiting for more than ten years."

It's so pitiful, Wang Han and the others almost shed tears when they heard this.
"Later my father's master also died. But my father became more and more skilled, and he also took in a few apprentices, and his family situation improved, but at this time he had a family and children. Although he was in a bad mood, he did not look for our mother and daughter. .Until four years ago, when I was 19 years old. I was able to help my mother, and the life of our mother and daughter gradually improved. The wife my father later married also died. He suddenly thought of our mother and daughter, and added When I met him, I had some money. So many people were mobilized, and finally we found our mother and daughter in Luoyang. They also took us to Bianzhou. But my mother saw that he also had a family. Although his wife died There is also a concubine and a few children. She is already old, and she looks away from everything. I was afraid that I would conflict with his children after I arrived at Ding's house, so I didn't agree with my father to take her into his home. "

"Father begged hard, and finally my mother agreed with him to buy a shop and a private house, and donated them to our mother and daughter. In fact, my father often took care of our mother and daughter, but he was taciturn, and my mother didn't want to say anything. , No one knew about this matter. Then the year before last, since Xueshi Wang sent someone to inquire about me, he also knew that I had engaged in a marriage. As early as in Luoyang, someone proposed to me. But because my mother was in poor health Not very good, I have never agreed. Now seeing that the gentleman is talented and learned, he is originally from Bianzhou. In addition, his father lives beside him, so he was relieved and agreed to the marriage. But at this time, the mother Seeing that I have also engaged in a marriage, it seems that one thing is already on my mind, so one night, I suddenly died of illness."

Speaking of this, she broke down in tears.It is not easy for a woman who is often sick and has to raise a daughter to grow up.

Ruo Ruxue sobbed and said, "I owe it to my mother. If it wasn't for me, she would have stayed where she was, and my father would have found her, and she would have lived a happy life. My mother suffered for me. Many, many sins. I was ignorant before, and I didn't know that I could never make up for my mother's love until my mother died."

A group of women wanted to persuade her, but they didn't know where to start.

Ruo Ruxue sobbed for a long time before she opened her mouth to speak: "That's why I told that gentleman that I would keep my mother's filial piety for three years. But last spring, when Chunwei released the rankings, he was actually on the high school rankings. So I sent someone to tell me, Because he is old, and I am also old. If he is released from office in the capital, he will also need to start a family. If I am still stupid, he will have to refuse the marriage for three years. I firmly refused. But his family My parents liked me very much and sent people to persuade me."

"Father knew about this. He also called me to his house. It's pity that my brothers and sisters didn't know my identity. They thought I had some ambiguous relationship with my father, and they frowned at me that night. I My father persuaded me again. Bi Jian is a craftsman, no matter how good his skills are, he has been treated with cold eyes many times. And that Lang Jun is a high school Jinshi, and he looks good, and he is from a good family. It is not difficult to pass the test. This is the right way. But I said, although his family members agreed, why did he send someone from Luoyang to inform me. It's not three years and two years of filial piety, because he was a Jinshi in high school, My eyebrows are raised, and I don't like my concubine's status, so I made this excuse. Even if I don't care about filial piety, he will come up with other reasons to refuse, and he will make people laugh in vain."

"If what the lady said is good, don't worry, when your filial piety is over, Gu will help you find a best family," Li Gu'er said.

She is acting out of righteousness.But Li Gu'er really agreed, and the person she will find in the future is far more than her husband.

The little girl understood, she owed her body, gave a big gift and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

Then he said: "At this moment, a servant came in and whispered in my father's ear. My father asked me to hide behind the screen in the room, and told me not to make a sound. After a while, several people came in. I borrowed the screen Looking out through the gap, I don't know the other people. But I do know one person, he is the governor of Bianzhou at that time, and today's Taifu Minister Ji Chuna."

Taifuqing is the chief executive of Taifu Temple, in charge of the country's wealth, which is equivalent to the Minister of Finance.Of course, for a country, the ministerial level is a very high official position, but there are many positions that are comparable to or even surpass it.

But Ji Chuna has another identity. He has a brother-in-law relationship with Wu Sansi, and his wife is the sister of Wu Sansi's wife.Therefore, he himself is also Wu Sansi's number one minion.Now that Wu Sansi is in power, Ji Chuna's power is also hot, and even the prime minister has to give way to him by three points.

Sure enough, he is a big man!

Li Chongjun beamed with joy. Hearing this person, he seemed to see Wang Hua's intentions again.If no one else was present, he would rush over and hug Wang Hua happily.

But there was a trace of worry in Shangguan Xiaowan's eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Others have complicated eyes.

Ruo Ruxue looked at the eyes of several people, and said mockingly: "Are you scared? If you are scared, let me go back. Wang Xueshi, you should also stop this case earlier to save time." so awkward."

"Miss Ruo, I've already said it just now. Don't say whether the matter has anything to do with Ji Qing, I'm still not sure. Even if there is a relationship, don't mention him, even if His Royal Highness is implicated, I will seek justice for the victim."

"That is, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the people," Li Chongjun said cooperatively.

"In this case, I will continue to talk. After entering the study, my father asked the servants to serve tea, and then the governor Ji asked the others to retreat. There were only him and my father in the room, and I was hiding behind the screen. Say nothing. Ji Ji said, Ding Zhu, hand over the things. My father replied, Ji Shijun, I really don’t know what it is. Ji Ji said, money is good, but it has to be ordered. You just need to If you hand over the things, XX will definitely give you a good way out. As soon as the matter is completed, XX will give you the best shop in Luoyang to manage, and will also give you some small fame and property. Father said again, Mr. Ji, I really don't know what it is, how do you ask me to hand it over. Ji Jishi sneered and said, "You don't appreciate your kindness, so just wait and see."

In the last sentence, she imitated Ji Chu'an's voice, which was extremely gloomy.Then he said: "After he finished speaking, he walked away. My father called me out with a worried look on his face. I asked curiously what it was. My father said that it was in his hands, but he couldn't hand it over. If you pay it, you will die faster. He told me that no matter what happens in the future, we must not reveal our father-daughter relationship to others. Having said that, he gave me some money and asked me to leave his home. I cried and refused to leave, he stroked my head and said, "Silly girl, you don't know, father, the people I provoked this time are too big, and I almost hit the sky. Also, no matter what happens to me in the future Whatever happened, you have to pretend not to know, otherwise you will be killed. After finishing speaking, drive me out."

"Two days later, he suddenly broke into my small shop. At that time, my two servants were not there. He gave me dozens of taels of gold, told me to be careful in the future, and left. Around that time, he also felt that something bad was about to happen. I didn’t know what happened, so I could only worry about it in my heart. In fact, my father never recognized us, but the reason why we are here today is because of luck. , he didn't want to do that either. Wang Xueshi, am I right?"

Husband and wife are forest birds, they fly separately when disaster strikes.Compared to other couples, Ding Zhu, or Ruozhu and his wife, have done a very good job.Ruozhu was not at fault either, anyway, since he couldn't find a wife, he had to live on.Even Wang Hua encouraged him in this way.

Wang Hua nodded.

"A few days later, that night, a southeast wind blew up, and the wind was very strong, and then my father's house caught fire. At first I didn't think about anything else, I just focused on fighting the fire, and even smashed down the wall that was separated with a hammer. Later, more and more villagers participated in the fire fighting. Although some of them were robbing the property of the father’s house, the fire was saved. But because of the dry weather and strong wind, it was too late to rescue. Except for a few of the father’s family The servants escaped, and the rest were all buried in the sea of ​​fire. But I know that the matter is far from that simple, and it is possible that they were murdered. But I dare not say when I think of Ji Jishi’s great official position. But sometimes I think of sad So I sneaked into the ruins of my father's house and cried a few times at night."

"But because you never repaired the wall you smashed that night, whenever you heard someone come in to check, you hid in your home. Therefore, the neighbors searched for the source of the crying several times, but failed to find it. As time passed, Then it was reported that Ding's house was haunted by ghosts."

"Exactly, but I didn't mean to harm anyone."

"I don't blame you for this. On the contrary, it's a good thing for you to tell me the matter. Otherwise, I can find out that you entered Ding's house to cry, and so can others. If you don't tell me the matter If you come out, you may even be killed. But did you dig out the coffin on the carriage yesterday?"

Ruo Ruxue shook her head blankly, and said: "It's not me who dug it. I'm alone, so I have that strength. I heard about this yesterday, and I'm still wondering. So I wonder if the Skynet has been restored. Not leaking, so I went to Master Huiyun and asked about some heavenly principles."

Everyone looked at her expression, saw her clear eyes, and knew that she was not lying.

But everyone was thinking, what this person did was obviously to defend the Ding family, who else could it be besides Ruo Ruxue?

At this time, Zhao Dabao, the disobedient officer in Bianzhou, asked to see him.

Ruo Ruxue owed her body and said goodbye.

Wang Hua didn't force her to stay either, and asked her to leave.

After a while, Zhao Dabao came in and reported: "Xueshi Wang, I made some new discoveries when I was young."

"Oh, come on."

"First, the coffin of the Ding family has been pried open many times."

"What's the evidence?"

"I went to that messy graveyard and took a look at the graves of the Ding family. The terrain where they were buried was shaded, and it was located on high ground, so the corpses did not rot so quickly. Later, I opened all the coffins, and there were two The tombs were bought by the Ding family. They had no family members to collect the corpses for them, so they buried Ding Zhu’s younger sister together with the Ding family. But the bodies of the two Ding families were relatively well preserved, and the rest of the Ding family The corpses are all decomposed."

That's only a little bit, because it often sees the air, so it rots quickly.But now without a complete set of theoretical knowledge, Zhao Dabao can only say why, not why.

"Another point, I also checked the graves. Although the whole house of Ding's family was burnt down that night, people could vaguely recognize them. Therefore, Ding Zhu's sister buried these people accurately. The three coffins were It's Ding Zhu himself, as well as his son and daughter-in-law." Having said this, he showed embarrassment.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"If I'm not mistaken, before the daughter-in-law of Ding's family was killed that night, she was severely abused. The murderer even bent her knees for fun, and her joints were broken. That's why I left that strange injury " Zhao Dabao said in a low voice, after all, there were several beautiful young girls sitting on the sidelines curiously.

"Beast!" Li Bao'er said bitterly.

"Princess scolded well, they are beasts, even worse than beasts, because I inspected the dead of Ding's family later, and found some wounds on the bones one after another. They were all marks left after being stabbed with a murder weapon. But some Because no bones were injured, and the corpse was decomposed, it was invisible. Only the three corpses of Ding Zhu himself and his son and daughter-in-law were the most obvious. So this person moved the three coffins out to remind Wang Xueshi of this unjust case. "

"Any other discoveries?"

"Not currently."

"You did a good job this time, go down and have a rest first."

"Small ones don't dare," Zhao Dabao bowed down.

Shangguan Xiaowan stared at Wang Hua with her eyes.

Wang Hua shook his head and said, "Shangguan Zhaorong, this case is far from what you imagined. If the Huazhou case is cruel and vicious, then this case is complicated and changeable, and the scope of its involvement is far beyond what we can imagine. Yes. Not only Ji Chuna may be implicated, but many important figures may also be implicated."
