Crush the Protagonist Into Slag

Qingsong responded with a loud voice, and quickly ran to work, his face was full of joy.

The onlookers were talking loudly, and the smart ones had already realized that the lady from the Qin family had done dirty things and was taken by Tao Rui. This time, the rumor is that Bacheng is fighting on both sides, but Tao Rui is slightly better, and he catches Miss Qin's little move.

In any case, Yue'er belongs to the Qin family. It would be too bold for her to steal one hundred taels of silver and do such a big thing without her master's advice. Besides, is one hundred taels so easy to steal? No matter how you think about it, Qin Ruo is the mastermind behind the scenes!

The little gangster who had something good shouted: "Master Shizi, what scandal did the Miss Qin family do? Tell everyone about it!"

The Qin family's grandmother's face was extremely ugly, and she hurriedly changed the subject in a loud voice, "Sir, I hope you can forgive Yue'er. She was also confused for a while. To say something that shouldn't be said, the old man and girl of the Tao family look like It is indeed similar to you and Mrs. Guogong, she is... misunderstood, thinking that you are really wrong."

She seemed to be begging for Yue'er, but in fact, she led the topic to the matter of holding the wrong, trying to divert everyone's attention.

However, the topic turned to Tao Rui's intention. Tao Rui walked up to Xiu Niang and asked, "Is this lady really born with my mother?"

Xiu Niang was a little nervous, and when she met Tao Rui's gaze, she found that it was full of gentleness, no alienation or disgust, so she calmed down and nodded, "Yes, it was raining that day and we couldn't hurry, we were all trapped in the ruined temple. , It was Mrs. Xuan Guo's maid who helped me deliver the baby."

"Then do you remember when you gave birth to a boy and a girl?"

Xiu Niang shook her head, "I had fetal gas, and I fainted after my baby was born."

She looked at Tao Rui hesitantly, Tao Rui raised her eyebrows and encouraged, "But what did you think of? If there is anything, it's okay to say it. Young master went to court today to seek the truth, and I don't like that trick."

When Xiu Niang heard the words, she knew that Tao Rui really told her to tell her, and immediately cooperated: "I remember that I glanced at the child, there should be a birthmark on the left shoulder of the child, but when I got home later, I found that the child did not have it, I just thought it was my mistake. At that time, I was in a daze, and I fainted, not sober."

Tao Rui made a stunned look and frowned. The butler of the Guogong's mansion mentioned it in his heart, seeing the faces of Tao Rui and Tao Wangcai, as well as that Fuxi's face very much like his wife, he hurriedly sent someone to tell the old man and his wife.

The Qin family aunt also left in a hurry. Seeing that there is nothing to do with the Qin family, she has to talk to her wife about the situation quickly and prepare to deal with the rumors. This is too bad, I really don't know what the young lady has gone mad and ruined the reputation of the entire Qin family!

Everyone in the hall looked at Tao Rui's reaction. Master Wu secretly screamed, and asked aloud, "Is there a birthmark on the left shoulder of the prince?"

Tao Rui nodded and sat back silently, as if he couldn't understand the current situation. That's right, just now he still believed that his servants couldn't hold the wrong boy or girl, but now he has the birthmark right, so he should be confused.

Everyone outside the door was stunned, and there was a lot of discussion. A little surprised, shouldn't it really be wrong? How to explain the misunderstanding of men and women?

Tao Li got the letter in the teahouse and threw a teacup in anger. Seeing that Tao Rui checked the rumors and found Qin Ruo, she had given up telling the truth. Anyway, everyone will scold the Qin family when the case is closed. Tao Rui is still an upright prince, and the fire can't burn her.

As long as the turmoil passes in two or three years and Tao Rui dies of illness, then the throne of the prince will naturally fall to Tao Bin, and there will be no extra troubles, which is very safe.

Who knew that the birthmark in Xiu Niang's mouth actually matched Tao Rui!

This was something she didn't know before, and now so many people are watching at the yamen's gate, insisting that no one would believe it if she didn't report an error, she hated Tao Rui who brought the matter to court.

But you can't let the gaffe develop like this, and you can't let people say that she changed her child. Tao Li was calm, and immediately ordered Xia Rui to go to the court to upload the story and file a complaint first.

Xia Rui said loudly when she went to court: "Mr. Wu, my wife already knows what happened here, and my wife wants to sue the Tao Jin couple for stealing the blood of Xuan Guo Gongfu!"

Tao Jin and Xiu Niang were immediately startled, and Xiu Niang shouted, "She's a rake, and I'm going to sue her for stealing my son."

Xia Rui didn't look at her, and said to herself, "Sir, Rong Qi, Xiu Niang gave birth half an hour earlier than my wife, gave birth to a boy, and borrowed a cloth to wrap the child. Later, my wife was busy with premature delivery, so she helped deliver the delivery. , Madam and Mammy only thought that she was a peasant woman, with a strong body and a good heart and wanted to help, who knew that she was taking the opportunity to secretly exchange children.

At that time, the maid held a curtain all around, and only she and the maid delivered the delivery. It was she who said that the wife had given birth to a male child. She must have deceived the mammy at the time and preemptively delivered the child and wrapped the child, and quickly changed it!

Mr. Wu, at that time, his wife was in danger of premature birth. The incident happened suddenly, everyone panicked, and there was no defense against Xiu Niang, which made her secretly change the blood of the Duke Xuan Guofu, please take her down and punish her! "

Xiu Niang was startled and angry, "You are talking nonsense! I was a mile away from your wife, and I almost had a difficult childbirth. After giving birth, I fainted. It was your mother who was delivering the birth. You wronged me!" She looked anxiously at Tao Rui, Looking at Master Wu, "I didn't lie, she was lying!"

Xia Rui said sternly: "My wife doesn't lack a son, why did she take your son and make him the heir? It's you who saw the wealth of the Duke's mansion and wanted your son to be rich and rich, right? I'm sorry that my young lady was replaced by you. Go through all the pain."

Fuxi immediately supported Xiu Niang, "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't suffer, my parents love me very much!"

But this statement can't relieve Xiu Niang's suspicion, because Tao Li's family does not lack sons, how can she give other people's sons to raise other people's sons to be the sons of others? It seems that it is indeed more like the exchange of the Tao family. It is reasonable for this farmer to seize the opportunity to make his son rich.

Xia Rui and the housekeeper were relieved when they saw everyone's reaction.

But Xiu Niang was in a panic. She took Fu Xi and looked at Tao Rui again, and kept explaining to them, "She's lying! There are so many people around her, but I'm the only one. Even if I don't faint, I can't change the child. Ah, I'm not that kind of person, you believe me..."

"I believe!"

"I believe!"

Tao Rui and Fu Xi spoke at the same time. No one found it strange that Fu Xi said this, but Tao Rui's words were so powerful that everyone was stunned.

Tao Rui sat there and let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had figured out something.

He said slowly: "No wonder my mother has been loving my brother but not me these years. I thought it was because I was not smart enough, so I endorsed more than my brother and wanted to please my mother. However, my mother reprimanded me, scolding me for not being humble and making my brother sad.

When I saw my brother fell, my mother was very worried, so I also jumped and played around. I was injured and wanted my mother to care about me, but my mother was very annoyed. Not only did she not invite me to be a husband, but she also punished me to kneel at the ancestral hall. Have a meal.

I thought my brother was too good, but I was always inferior to him. Who would have thought that Tao Bin did such a shameful thing to his ancestors. My mother didn't scold him. …”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Mrs. Xuan Guo's wife was so biased? This is... Knowing that Tao Rui is not his own?

Then what did Tao Bin do to shame his ancestors? Mrs. Xuan Guo's wife actually asked Tao Rui's son to take the blame for her younger brother?

"Master Shizi!" Xia Rui's heart skipped a beat and interrupted him loudly, not daring to let him go on, "Master Shizi, how could you misunderstand your wife like this? A loving mother is a lot of failures, and my wife is just stricter with you. You can't help outsiders to hurt Madam's heart!"

She said implyingly: "Mrs. just said that they are the ones who did the wrong thing, and you are innocent. Even if you are not the biological son of the madam, the madam will treat you as a biological son, and will never let you admit that you have misbehavior. The person is a relative. Madam specially explained that the slaves will invite you back, and you are still the young master of the government."

This is a guarantee that Tao Ruirong will be rich and rich. As long as he is stunned and hesitated, he will be brought back to the house, and the case will be closed. It doesn't matter if he makes trouble in the future.

But Tao Rui didn't hesitate, as if he had recovered, he sneered out loud, "It's been seventeen years, I've been punished by kneeling, beating a board, locked up, deducted monthly money, I've never been happy for a day, I've been asked to continue. To be the young master of the Duke’s Mansion? You don’t even want to kill the young master!”

Everyone was surprised again, all of them stretched their necks and pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the deeper and more secret gossip of the Duke's Mansion.

The Tao family was so distressed that their eyes were red, and Fuxi even thought that Duke Xuan's mansion was like a wolf's den and a tiger's den, and held Xiu Niang's hand tightly.

I saw Tao Rui stood up and approached Xia Rui with oppression step by step, and asked in a deep voice, "Is this the lady who has changed her child's conscience, or is she trying to be generous in front of everyone? Either way, I won't accompany you. you play.

You said that the embroidered mother changed the child? That is to say, the servants trained by the dignified lady of the country are all trash? Do you want to find out all those people in the past and ask? I can't see it, can I? Are they still alive?

Did you just say that your wife gave birth prematurely? Said the embroidered lady is strong? Can the children born by the two of them be the same age? Are premature babies weak? Not small? A child born half an hour first is the same as a newborn child? Don't you need to scrub? Did Xiu Niang handle it from beginning to end? The servants of the state government didn't even look at them? "

Everyone who has given birth to a child suddenly agrees. This series of questions was asked on time. In addition, his momentum was too strong. Xia Rui, a maid, was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and she was so nervous that she didn't know how to refute.

Xiu Niang breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, that's it, it's impossible for the two children to look the same, and the new born one still has blood on it. If I hadn't fainted, Xuanguo Gong's government wouldn't even want to replace my child. I , I'm not even sure if I fainted myself, maybe it's what the mother did?"

She turned around and knelt down to Lord Wu, choked up, "My Lord, if the woman changed her child, how could Fuxi be allowed to grow up and be discovered? How could it be possible to tell the birthmark in court?

The woman thought to herself that when the rain stopped that day, when Mrs. Xuan Guogong left, her face was pale, and she was breathing more and less.

Who would have thought that after she took care of her body and gave birth to her own son, she would spar with my son in every possible way, seeing that he was not pleasing to the eye in everything! My lord, the women are wronged. The nonsense made up by Mrs. Xuanguo is full of mistakes. Your lord is clear, and I hope that Mrs. Xuanguo will be severely punished! "

Xia Rui said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense! My lord, my wife loves the prince very much, but the prince doesn't like the strictness of his wife, so there is a slight misunderstanding..."

Tao Rui asked expectantly: "Does she know what I'm good at? She loves me so much, she knows which poem I wrote? Which painting has I painted? You are her most useful servant girl, if she pays attention to me , you can't possibly not know?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Xia Rui. They heard that Tao Rui played five games in a row. They didn't know it before, so the kind mother who values ​​Tao Rui should know it?

But, Xia Rui can't tell! She had only heard his wife disdain and scold Tao Rui. Yesterday, she knew that Tao Rui was not a scumbag, but no one had seen his works.

No one is a fool. Seeing Xia Rui's hesitating and hesitating appearance, she has guesses in her heart. Tao Rui also showed a look of disappointment, shook his head and laughed at himself, "I should have expected that if she was half-hearted on me, she wouldn't praise Tao Bin and degrade me to nothing."

It happened that Qingsong ran back, and Tao Rui asked, "Can the marriage retire?"

"Don't worry, Shizi, he has already retired!" Qing Song nodded heavily, with a look of joy on his face, as if he had thrown away something dirty, and it made people wonder what happened to Qin.

Tao Rui said with a cold face: "Don't call me Shizi in the future, I'm just the son of the Tao family in Xishan Village. Qingsong, go to the Guogong's mansion and take out the lottery that I won the day before, and don't move the rest."

Qingsong didn't understand why he only left for a while, the master is not the prince? But he saw the tense atmosphere in the hall, so he gritted his teeth and responded, "Yes, Master, I'll do it for the little ones!"

Tao Rui surrendered to Lord Wu, "This matter has come to light, please do me a favor and change my household registration. After being separated for so many years, it's time for our family to reunite."

Master Wu said embarrassedly: "Don't worry, prince, many of these things are unfounded and unfounded, and can't be regarded as the truth. Why don't you transfer the case to the Dali Temple for a detailed review?"

When it comes to the position of the prince, it is to be reported to the emperor. Master Wu feels that the water is too deep, and if the judgment is not good, he will suffer. He does not want to get involved.

Tao Rui said coldly: "As the lord said, after 17 years, the evidence is difficult to check, but I believe in fairness. When it comes to changing children, if I don't say what they told me to keep my mouth shut, I would just repay them for raising me all these years.

But if the manor of the country wants to continue to wrong my parents, we will definitely accompany us to the end even when we arrive at the Dali Temple and the Golden Palace. "

The situation was no longer under Xia Rui's control. She looked back at the housekeeper uneasily, and the housekeeper could not stop Tao Rui. When things got to this point, no one could hold back.

If Tao Rui doesn't say it, it's better than saying it. Everyone will think that there are a lot of dirty things in the Xuanguo mansion. Tao Li's in the teahouse is about to faint. What about those servants?

She deeply hated herself for being stupid back then, misunderstood the master's order, in exchange for Tao Rui, a debt collector. I hate myself for being soft-hearted and not killing Tao Rui sooner. Now, as Tao Rui said, fairness is in the heart of the heart, and she can't be washed away. But how could she have thought that things would turn out like this one day?

The case can basically be closed in court. Tao Jin and Xiu Niang looked at Tao Rui well and felt that he was different from the one in the village that day, and it seemed that they were not in the same world. a feeling of.

But Xiu Niang clenched Fuxi's hand and felt very uneasy. Tao Rui now recognizes it, but what about Fuxi? She can't give her daughter to the vicious national government, but can she not return her daughter?

Tao Rui seemed to have a heart-to-heart with her, and said to Lord Wu: "Although it is true that the wrongdoing is true, it is up to the victim to decide whether to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestry. I am willing to recognize my ancestors and return to the clan. But the Tao family girl, she just said that she lived very well in the Tao family, and in my opinion, she may not be willing to enter the Xuanguo Gongfu."

Master Wu and Fuxi were all stunned for a moment. They never thought of this possibility, and Fuxi immediately asked nervously and expectantly, "Master, the people's daughter does not want to go to Xuanguo Gongfu, and the people's daughter just wants to be a westerner. The daughter of the Tao family in the mountain village, is that okay?"

Looking closely, she was pale, as if she was still afraid of the Duke Xuan's residence. This really embarrassed Master Wu.

Tao Rui has seen all kinds of people, and every time he encounters such an innocent and kind person, he can't help but soften his heart. He turns around and walks in front of Fuxi and promises soothingly, "Don't be afraid, I have occupied you for seventeen years. Wealth and honor will surely return the glory of your life."

Fuxi was supposed to be seeing Tao Rui for the second time, so she should be very unfamiliar, but at this moment, when she looked at the person in front of her, she suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind, she nodded unconsciously, and said softly, "You It's not your fault that you didn't take my wealth."

Tao Rui smiled and turned around and said, "Master Wu, no one is willing to recognize a mother who has abandoned him. As a parental official, I believe that Miss Tao will be sympathetic to Miss Tao's resistance to Duke Xuan's government. Since she is unwilling, then Just let her remain the daughter of the Tao family."

Lord Wu hurriedly said: "Sir, be careful! There are many doubts about what happened back then, and there is no conclusion. It cannot be said that Mrs. Xuanguo abandoned Miss Tao. This statement is inappropriate."

Tao Rui nodded in agreement, "Mr. Wu's words are very true, and they are sloppy. But Miss Tao is the adopted daughter of the Tao family, and her household registration is also in the Tao family. Unless necessary, there is no need to change it. After I change my household registration, she will be me. sister."

Mr. Wu thought, the household registration of other girls can't be changed, but you can change it at will? However, seeing that the Duke Xuan Guo's mansion has already agreed with the wrong statement, this Tao Rui's household registration will really be changed. But he didn't want to get involved.

Master Wu coughed lightly and said after deliberation: "Since this matter has nothing to do with the case of spreading rumors, we can discuss it later. Now the maid named Yue'er has pleaded guilty. Although she confirmed that the rumors were true, she stole the master's property, Those who harbor malicious intentions and bribe others should be sentenced to parade through the streets and be exiled for three thousand miles."

"There are also these few people who don't know the truth and confuse the public with slanderous words. They are sentenced to parade on the street and work as a coolie for three years. Sir, this case is closed like this."

"Master Wu is upright and honest, and judges the case fairly. Thank you, Master Wu." Tao Rui didn't embarrass him at all. Although other things seemed to be fruitless, the justice he wanted was already there.

If the people sued the official without sufficient evidence, they would be punished. Of course, he could not let the Tao family really have a lawsuit with the government. Everything was just to let everyone know the truth. Even if the evidence from seventeen years ago was not found, people There is also a distinction in the mind. He leaves the Guogong's mansion, and if Fuxi does not return to the Guogong's mansion, no one will say that they are unfilial.

The case was over, and the few sentenced people were dragged away by the yamen in desperation. After receiving this punishment, they would have to die if they didn’t die, and each of them regretted their past.

Everyone who was watching outside woke up and saw the fate of the rumor mill with their own eyes. How could they dare to talk nonsense? And Tao Rui's vigorous and resolute appearance also left an unforgettable impression on them.

Just because everyone was curious, Tao Rui made it clear that he wanted to leave the Duke Xuan's mansion and recognize his parents. Then he fell from the quagmire of Shizi to become a farmer, can he still be majestic?

Without waiting for everyone to think about it, he saw Qingsong running over with a big bag on his back, Tao Rui instructed: "Find a pawnshop and **** everything, open a few inns and go to the room. My parents and the others were all shocked, so they had a good life. It's time to rest. Go to the Qi Yushi's house and talk to Mingxian, and ask him to find a house for me to live in."

Oh, everyone don't have to worry about Tao Rui, even if he is not a prince, he still has his friends all over the capital. Not only will he not be down, but he will also bring his parents to be rich together!
