History of Struggle of Salted Fish

Another two days later, Bai Ling's poisoned wine did not arrive, but the young mistress Wang came over in person.

As soon as Mrs. Wang entered the room, she saw Xiang Wan wearing filial piety clothes with white flowers on her temples.The servants in the house also wear white mourning.Yu Wenchuan was beheaded yesterday.

"Sad brother and sister, take care of your health first."

"Why do you have time to come over today?" Xiang Wan didn't think that Mrs. Wang made a special trip to comfort her.

Mrs. Wang didn't say a word, she only glanced at the servants in the room, Jiu'er Zhiji took everyone out of the room, and Mrs. Wang considered it before opening her mouth.

"Some words, I really don't know how to tell you, but someone has to be the villain."

"Eldest young mistress, it's okay to say, there's nothing I can't stand now." She even thought about the things behind her.

"The young master told you the day before yesterday. I think you have thought it over clearly. Now, there is still a road in front of you. I wonder if you want to go?"

"It's better than Huangquan Road."

"Master Yu's body is not cold yet, there must be someone restraining himself. Parents intend to let you go home. Of course, this is not a good way to say it. I don't know what you want?" Concentrating is the son's business, but Yu Wenchuan's son is still in prison. In the final analysis, restraint is an excuse to divorce his wife.

"The Du Mansion is not afraid of disobeying the powerful?" Xiang Wan was taken aback, Shou Wang was a lord who must take revenge.

"The deceased is the most important, and my father also admires Lingtang's pride, but you also understand that Du's mansion is also in turmoil now, and my father has been at home for more than a month. I can only, I'm sorry for you." Xiang Wan didn't know that Mr. Du was unemployed. This time, it has something to do with the Yu family's lawsuit.Wang said it politely, but she knew that although the next wife would have a bad reputation in the future, she was already the best choice at the moment.

"Can I take the servants in the house with me?"

"The people and belongings in Yuzhu Courtyard are up to you to dispose of. If necessary, the mansion will find a house for you and send you a car and horse to take you there." All the properties of the Yu Mansion were confiscated, including the real estate of course. Well, Mrs. Wang said this because she was afraid that Xiang Wan would have nowhere to go.Except for Xiang Wan's dowry, the belongings in the Yuzhu Courtyard were prepared for the wedding, and the Du Mansion meant for her to take them all away.

"I have my own arrangements for the residence. I don't know when I will leave?"

"Tomorrow morning, I will send the documents over. Seeing Nian Gen, it's not easy to break the ground in the first month." To move into a new house, you have to symbolically turn over the soil at the root of the wall. Wang's meaning is to let her leave years ago .

Xiang Wan didn't want to stay longer.He happily said hello.

After sending Wang away, Xiang Wan took everyone to pack and pack their luggage, of course only for his own dowry.The room was full of people for three hours before it was almost cleaned up. The rest were some big items and daily necessities, such as furniture, large screens, bedding, toiletries, etc.

Xiang Wan made the decision, so you don't need to bring those that are not expensive.

At night, Jiu'er went to the night and heard Xiang Wan turn over, knowing that she was not asleep, she couldn't help but say, "If miss is feeling bad, just cry, don't hold back your heart."

Are you uncomfortable?Xiang Wan felt that it wasn't entirely true. She clearly planned to leave the Du Mansion, and now that her long-cherished wish was fulfilled, she should be happy, but the price was too heavy: her mother's family collapsed, her father died, and her mother and younger siblings were still there. prison.What should I do, a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, and a whole house of servants counting on her?She herself was a little dazed.

Just when Jiu'er thought that Xiang Wan was falling asleep and wanted to blow the lamp for her, Xiang Wan quietly said, "It will all pass. Go to sleep, I still have work tomorrow."

When Mrs. Wang delivered the letter of divorce, Xiang Wan had already brought the servants ready to go.

Mrs. Wang didn't expect Xiang Wan to leave so simply, so she hurriedly arranged manpower and chariots.

Xiang Wan and his party got into the car from the corner gate of Du Mansion, and when they left, they didn't expect that the third young lady and the eldest young lady also came to see her off.The eldest grandma gave her a name card, asking her to go to her natal Jingzhao Mansion for help when encountering important problems, and Mrs. Chen stuffed her with a stack of bank notes, which was 2000 taels.Xiang Wan couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to try to reciprocate later.

After leaving the Du Mansion, Xiang Wan did not follow back to the house in Ruyi Lane, but took Jiu'er and Mama Li straight to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Because it was just after noon and the yamen had to rest for a while, Xiang Wan took Li's mother and Jiu'er to a nearby tea room for some tea and snacks, and it was not until it was almost time to apply that he found the person who handled the delivery procedures.

Master Yu was beheaded at the time, and now the body has been stitched up, and it is placed in the straw shed outside the cell together with other corpses.Xiang Wan identified the corpse, signed it, and got the obituary of Master Yu's death, so he hired a flatbed truck at the door. Lifted into the car.Xiang Wan asked Li's mother to go back with the car to start the funeral, especially looking for birthday materials as soon as possible.Before leaving, mother Li didn't forget to return the previous key to Xiang Wan.

Xiang Wan walked around outside the execution room before finding a man dressed as a cell boss, who brought Jiu'er forward to speak.

"This official, may the relatives of the former Minister of Rites, Master Yu, be detained here?"

"Who are you from his family?"

"I'm a married woman of Yu's family, please help me." Saying that, he stuffed a 5 taels of silver into the hands of the jailer.

It is natural and convenient for the cell boss to get money.

"I think it's not easy for you as a woman, so I will show you the way. This morning, the superiors have sent a message that the criminals in the Yu family have been released. They should not be detained in the prison of the Ministry of punishment. They have been transferred to Jingzhao This includes a woman, a concubine, a young master and an infant young lady."

When Xiang Wan heard this, her face turned pale with fright, "Did the official remember it wrong? There was only one aunt who handed it over?"

"Can it be fake? I sent the person myself. I originally locked up the two concubines, but the little son's biological mother died of an emergency. If you have the time to inquire, why don't you hurry up and find a way to get him out?" .”

"The official said, those criminal relatives were released without charge? Can they go directly to Jingzhao Mansion to pick them up?" Jiu'er asked.

"It seems that you have never been out of the inner house. It is true that you are not guilty. If you want to bring him back, you must find a way."

"Please give me some pointers."

"When this person is handed over, he has to verify his identity first, then investigate his family background, and also check that he has no criminal record. The date of release varies from person to person."

"Is there any way to get released early?"

"Naturally, we have to find the way out. Turn right after exiting this door. The third red-painted door says the Zhao's house. Don't say I said it. My family is still pointing at my job." .”

"How can it be, official, don't worry, we are not the ones to repay kindness and revenge." Jiu'er hurriedly agreed on Xiang Wan's behalf.

When Xiang Wan heard that someone could fish it out, he was overjoyed. The few thousand taels of silver he had on him might not be enough for him. He would find out the way first before going home to get the money.

While he was happy, Xiang Wan couldn't help wondering, how could King Shou let the members of the Yu family go so easily?

King Shou is also very aggrieved now. Since the crown prince passed away, he thought that the old emperor's chair was settled by himself, so he took advantage of the few days when the emperor was bedridden and seized the time to eliminate dissidents.The first one to suffer was Yu Wenchuan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites who refused to let him use the emperor's chariot to sacrifice to heaven.

The so-called collaborating letters were just forged by him. He bribed the servants of the Yu family to hide the letters in Yu Wenchuan's study in advance, and waited for the people from the Ministry of Punishment to search them. Naturally, the evidence is solid.

His original intention was to exterminate the entire Yu family, but he had just been regent, and his foundation was not stable, and there were many voices of opposition. He didn't care about the nagging of a few censors, but his subordinates didn't listen to orders. Today he said that the evidence was suspicious, and tomorrow he said that the content of the letter was inaccurate and not enough to convict him. After almost a month of procrastination, he was still unable to convict him of exterminating his family and ransacking his home.Seeing that the old emperor's body was slowly recovering and he was about to return to court, King Shou decided to take Yu Wenchuan's life first, and then take care of his family members slowly.

During the period, King Shou heard that the new daughter-in-law of Dali Temple Minister Du's family was Yu Wenchuan's second daughter.Otherwise, when he ascends the throne in the future, the Du family will be the next Yu family.

King Shou thought well, but he didn't expect the old emperor to wake up, instead of appointing him as the prince, he recalled the other two sons who had been named vassal kings to Beijing.King Shou panicked immediately, so he couldn't care about these criminals of the Yu family.

The Lord of the Ministry of Punishment got the instruction of King Qi, and quickly chose the camp.Since Mr. Yu sentenced the beheading instead of copying and beheading the whole family, it is natural that the crime is not as good as his wife and daughter. These family members should not continue to be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Therefore, the remaining members of the Yu family were transferred to Jingzhao on the day King Qi returned to Beijing. Mansion, as for whether Mr. Yin Wang of Jingzhao Mansion winks, it is not his Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment to worry about.

Besides, Xiang Wan found Zhao's house according to the cell boss's instructions, and stepped forward to knock on the door knocker.

The one who opened the door was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and he was not surprised to see two female relatives at the door.

The two were let into the gate, and the young man led them to sit in the hut on the right, leaving only two words: wait.

Not long after, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a satin face come out of the main room and leave through the door just now.

The boy came over and threw three words: Come here.

In the main hall sat a middle-aged scribe with a goatee and a shrewd look.

"Tell me, which one are you asking for?" Obviously, he is used to this kind of redemption business.

"The family members of the Yu family."

"Yu Mansion? Which Yu Mansion?"

"The family of Yu Wenchuan, the former Minister of Rites."

The middle-aged scribe took out a blue book from the bookcase, and directly turned to the last page.

"An aunt is 5000 taels, a young lady is 5000 taels, and a young master is 2 taels. The total is 3 taels, and only cashier receipts."

"Your Excellency, I think I made a mistake. There should be a wife, right?"

"Someone has already done it for her." Xiang Wan glanced at the booklet lying flat on the table out of the corner of her eye, and sure enough, Yang's name was crossed out.Xiang Wan was thoughtful, probably Yang's family.

"When will you let me go?"

"Of course it's the day of the day, I'm impatient to talk about it."

"Then this one, my lord? Allow me to go home and get the silver ticket before coming back."

The middle-aged scribe waved his hand, signaling Xiang Wan and the others to leave, not knowing whether to wait or not.

The servant just now took them out of the main hall and sent them out as usual.

At the entrance of the alley, a man dressed as a sergeant saw Xiang Wan's master and servant coming out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to identify the corpse and then went to Zhao's house. He couldn't help but wonder, she just identified the corpse so carelessly, and went to redeem him?
