Chapter 454 Letter to ask
The governor of Jingzhao was sleeping soundly at midnight last night when Xie Xingchuan and his men knocked on the yamen door loudly.
Although Xie Xingchuan is young, he is the only son of General Xie. This time he came to the capital to receive rewards on behalf of the generals from the border towns. It is said that the emperor praised him again and again.
With such a status, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin did not dare to neglect, and Xie Xingchuan was completely determined to live in the Yamen, so even if it was a trivial matter such as interrogating a family thief, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin could only bear the urging look of the other party. , interrogation was conducted overnight. .
"My lord, my father has always been strict in running the army. If he knew that something like this happened in his mansion, he would definitely be like the younger generation and ask your lord to deal with it sternly." Xie Xingchuan said.
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin naturally understood that there must be privacy in the general's palace, but he naturally thought that Mrs. Xie only had one son, Xie Xingchuan, and there must be no overnight feud between mother and son.
Even if Nanny Xie is his wife, Jin Zhaofu Yin doesn't take it too seriously. After all, Xie Xingchuan is the future of the General's Mansion, and he is happy to sell Xie Xingchuan to him.
"General Xie is fair and strict, and he is worthy of being a role model for our generation. In this case, the three members of this family have stolen three thousand taels of property from the master's family. According to this court's agreement, the three of them will be punished with a hundred sticks and a journey of thousands of miles."
Xie Xingchuan hurriedly said: "Your Excellency enforces the law impartially, I admire you!"
When Grandma Xie and her family heard this punishment, they immediately cried for father and mother.
"Master, if a hundred sticks come down, will my great treasure still be alive? Please consider the many years of service we have given to you and let us go!" Grandma Xie begged in tears.
The couple's son Dabao was captured from the gambling house by Xie Xingchuan last night.
He may indeed not know where his parents' money came from, but all of his parents' money was spent on him, so neither Xie Xingchuan nor Jingzhao Fuyin felt that he was innocent.
“It's really hateful to give birth to an unworthy child and bring trouble to the parents!” Jingzhao Prefecture's Yin lamented. He even wanted to increase the punishment for Dabao.
Xie Dabao is the only son of the couple, and he got the gambling problem from somewhere. The more money he loses, the more money he loses. As a result, the couple spends all their time making money from the Xie family to cover their son's losses.
"Sir, Madam Xie sent someone to deliver a post." Someone came over to deliver the item to Jingzhao Prefecture Yin, and conveyed Madam Xie's request by the way.
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin glanced at Xie Xingchuan.
Xie Xingchuan said loudly: "Sir, does my mother also want to be dealt with harshly?"
As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Grandma Xie said eagerly: "Madam will definitely save me! She won't abandon me for a little **** like you!"
Grandma Xie's life and death were now at stake, and she did not continue to hide this huge secret.
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin was embarrassed that he was involved in the messy affairs of the Xie family, but he also lamented in his heart that the Xie family was so bright on the outside but there were so many messy things on the inside.
Xie Xingchuan's expression remained unchanged and he said, “Sir, no one's face is as important as the law of the country.”
Jingzhao Prefecture Yin had already made a verdict. After all, Mrs. Xie's post was sent too late, so he finally chose to uphold the verdict.
Nanny Xie's face turned ashen and she kept cursing Xie Xingchuan: “Little bastard, if you treat me like this, my wife will not let you go! Even if our whole family is a ghost, we will not let you go!”
With such deep hatred, Jingzhaofu Yin couldn't help frowning. He waved his hand and blocked all the mouths of the Xie Yan family on the side.
After Xie Xingchuan confirmed that the family of three could not stand up, he did not go back to Xie's house after leaving the yamen, but went straight to Gu's house. "My son, what's wrong with your eyes? Didn't you sleep last night? There are such big dark circles!" Zhang Yunniang could tell that her son was in bad condition at just one glance.
Xie Xingchuan nodded and said, "I was busy catching mice all night last night and didn't sleep well."
Zhang Yunniang watched him eat two bowls of chicken noodle soup and wanted to eat a third bowl, so she quickly stopped him.
"You have to catch up on your sleep later. If you eat too much and sleep, you may get into trouble. You have to walk around the yard three times before going to sleep. Remember?" Zhang Yunniang warned.
Niu Niu held Xie Xingchuan's hand at the side: "Brother, I will walk with you!"
Xie Xingchuan obeyed his family's instructions honestly and walked around the yard three times before entering the room specially prepared for him by the Gu family.
The quilt in the room seems to have been dried in the sun recently, and you can smell the sun when you lie in it.
As soon as he lay down, Zhang Yunniang knocked on the door and came in.
Seeing her son putting on a mask, Zhang Yuniang said: "It's so uncomfortable to sleep with a mask on. Mom is not an outsider."
Xie Xingchuan hesitated and finally took off the mask, but he didn't dare to look at Zhang Yunniang.
Even though they were mother and son, they had been separated for too long, and Xie Xingchuan was already so old. It was still a little awkward for his mother to enter his room at this time.
“Mom, do you have anything to tell your son?” Xie Xingchuan asked.
Zhang Yuniang couldn't help but feel sad when she heard this. Gu Zhao would never talk to her like this. Xie Xingchuan always said "order" when he opened his mouth. She couldn't help but think, does Mrs. Xie often tell her son what to do?
She suppressed the doubts in her heart, sat down by Xie Xingchuan's bed, and said softly: "Niuniu is so old, but she still likes to listen to me singing ballads to coax her to sleep. Azhao and Ayan couldn't sleep before, and it was the same."
Xie Xingchuan suddenly felt as if his whole body was wrapped in something warm. He also heard from people in border towns that their mothers sang songs to lull them to sleep when they were young.
Xie Xingchuan remembered that when he was a child, he always seemed to be lying alone on the big bed, surrounded by darkness. He was also afraid, but he got used to it and let it go.
Xie Xingchuan always thought that he did not need these things, but when he heard Zhang Yunniang humming softly, he fell into a dark and sweet dream without knowing it.
Zhang Yunniang sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Xie Xingchuan's brows finally relaxing, and then looking at the criss-cross scars on her son's face, feeling as if she had been pricked by needles in her heart.
She reached out her hand, wanting to touch him, but was afraid of disturbing her son's sleep. After a long time, she turned around, wiped away the tears on her face, and then quietly left the room.
Gu Mingda asked outside the door: "Are you asleep?"
Zhang Yunniang nodded.
“I really don't know what he has been through these years, and I don't know if it's my misunderstanding. I always feel that he has had a very hard life.” Zhang Yunniang said softly.
Gu Mingda also felt uncomfortable and said: "Don't worry, I have asked someone to bring gifts to the border town to deliver a letter and ask about General Xie's past events."
