After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

"I only have one daughter, and I have always regarded her as a treasure. That day she happily went to Yangguo Duke's Mansion to visit her aunt. Unexpectedly, she was raped and humiliated by that beast, and then hanged herself. I wished I could chop that beast into pieces with one knife. I thought my My husband feels the same as I do, but in the end he reached a private settlement with the Duke’s government and used my daughter’s life to find an official position for his son with another woman!”

At this point, Mrs. Jiang's face turned livid and her fists were clenched tightly.

"I didn't agree. I wanted to file a lawsuit, but Jiang Tianna locked me up with his own hands and wouldn't even let me see my daughter for the last time before she was buried. I asked him why he was like this. He is a father. He said Jiang The family cannot afford to lose face like this. Oh, my daughter was so well-behaved, so filial, and so kind-hearted, why should she be embarrassed by him? He was so sincere that he even buried my daughter in the mountains without even a tombstone."

Mrs. Jiang's eyes were red, but she did not shed tears. Her hatred made her sharp.

"After Mrs. Jiang reported that her stepson was illegally seeking an official position, she will definitely attract criticism, and the Jiang family will also blame you. I won't force you, you can make up your own mind. What I can guarantee is that if you do this, I will definitely give your daughter back It's fair." Liu Yunxiang said.

Mrs. Jiang looked at Liu Yunxiang, as if weighing the credibility of her words.

"If Xue Hefeng cannot be brought to justice this time, then I will never have another chance." Mrs. Jiang said,

"I know."

"Princess, are you sure?"

"Yes, and this is the only chance."

Mrs. Jiang lowered her head and was silent for a while, then raised her head and looked at Liu Yunxiang: "It would be better to report Jiang Tian than to report my stepson. He and Xue Hefeng secretly colluded and gave and received privately. This way it is easier to attract the attention of the superiors."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "But if a wife files a complaint against her husband, she will be imprisoned according to Darong law."

Mrs. Jiang smiled, "Every day since my daughter's death has been torture for me. Life is worse than death, so do you think I'm afraid?"

"Mrs. Jiang..."

"Princess, I can risk my life, but I only ask that you avenge my daughter!"

Facing Mrs. Jiang's trust, Liu Yunxiang nodded heavily, "Definitely!"

After Liu Yunxiang and Mrs. Jiang separated, they had no choice but to go to the eldest princess's mansion after much thought. After Mrs. Jiang complained to her husband, because Jiang Tian was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the one who colluded with him was Xue Hefeng, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if he was involved in corruption, accepting bribes, buying and selling officials, he would definitely be handed over to Dali Temple for trial. The Duke of Yang will definitely interfere, which requires the eldest princess to come forward and confront the Duke of Yang head-on so that Dali Temple can conduct a fair and transparent trial.

The next day, the wife of the Minister of Works reported the secret collusion between the Minister of Works and the Minister of Personnel, which shocked both the government and the public.

The emperor attached great importance to it and went to Dali Temple to conduct a strict investigation.

After three days of this, a letter came from the eldest princess, saying that Jiang Tian, ​​the minister of the Ministry of Industry, did not admit colluding with Xue Hefeng. As for how to explain Xue Hefeng's finding an official position for his son, in order to prove his innocence, he told the story of his daughter's murder. Xue Hefeng only admitted that he was coerced and induced by Xue Hefeng.

"Today at the court, Yan Mu, who went to court with the emperor, was asked to write a calligraphy and then compared it with the letter Xue Hefeng reported him to. Then he asked the civil servants to identify them one by one, and finally confirmed that the letter was a imitation. His handwriting means that this evidence is fake." Shangguan Xu took a sip of tea.

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he let out a long breath, "Does that mean Yan Mu was wrongly accused?"

Shangguan Xu shook his head, "Yang He identified him, but he still didn't change his confession after another trial, so only by finding the 100 million taels can we truly clear his name."

"It's easier said than done." Liu Yunxiang said helplessly.

Although Hongxuan and Xue Changfeng went to Yanzhou, there was still no reply after these days. Apparently, they had not found any trace of the 100 million taels.

"At least this case has become more active, and Yan Mu's suspicion has become smaller. The emperor also reprimanded the fourth prince, telling him that he was too eager for quick success and should not have sealed the Zhenbei Palace. From now on, your Zhenbei Palace will be unsealed. Shops can also open for business.”

"It's not in vain that I've been busy these days. By the way, what about Mrs. Jiang?"

"The minister of the Ministry of Industry was demoted. Mrs. Jiang sued her husband as a wife and was sentenced to one year."

Liu Yunxiang sighed. This result was foreseeable. The sentence of one year could be regarded as a lighter sentence.

"As for Xue Hefeng, his case has too many implications and has been handed over to Dali Temple for trial."

Xue Hefeng was detained in Jingzhao Mansion at this time and had to be escorted to Dali Temple.

Liu Yunxiang happened to encounter the escort team on his way to Lingyun Grain Shop. Xue Hefeng was shackled and wearing prison uniform. He had lost his previous arrogance and looked embarrassed.

When he saw Liu Yunxiang, he didn't have many emotions, he just became slowly confused. Maybe he couldn't figure out how Liu Yunxiang could trip him up. He also didn't expect that Feng would bite him back. He didn't expect that Mrs. Jiang would rather sue her husband and go to jail than take revenge on him.

At this time, a gray-haired woman squeezed in front. She looked at Xue Hefeng passing by angrily, took out rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs from the basket and threw them at him.

"Beast! You too have today! God has finally opened his eyes!"

The rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs hit Xue Hefeng on the head. He tried to shake them off, but the people on both sides began to throw dirty things at him.

He couldn't avoid it or get rid of it, and soon he was covered in filth.

Liu Yunxiang stepped back, breathed a long sigh of relief, and walked to Lingyun Grain Store with Zijin.

"Girl, will he be sentenced to death?" Zijin asked.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "I don't know."

It just depends on whether Dali Temple can dig out more and whether it can hold a fair trial despite the pressure from Yang Guogong's government.

Not far away, the master and servant suddenly heard shouting from behind. They looked back and saw the people who had been watching the excitement fleeing in all directions.

Zijin hurriedly protected Liu Yunxiang, and the two of them pushed him to the side of the road.

"Dead! Dead!"

"Everyone, run away!"

"Run now!"

The common people dispersed immediately. Liu Yunxiang looked over and saw that the officials had surrounded Xue Hefeng, who was looking around with his sword drawn out.

From the gap, Liu Yunxiang saw that Xue Hefeng had fallen into a pool of blood, with an arrow stuck in his chest.

"Girl, there is an assassin over there!" Zijin pointed to the second floor of a restaurant not far away for Liu Yunxiang to see.

When Liu Yunxiang looked over, he only saw the back of the man in black, and he had already ducked inside.

"The assassin is in the restaurant! Surround the restaurant quickly, don't let him escape!"

The officials below shouted that the officials from Jingzhao Mansion and Dali Temple were not vegetarians. They quickly surrounded the restaurant and quickly forced the assassins out and fell into a melee.

The assassin was very skilled in martial arts. Even though he was surrounded, he still managed to fight his way out, and his arm was only injured.

After the assassin rushed out, he glanced at Xue Hefeng, probably to confirm whether he was dead, and then disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Girl, the martial arts skills of this man in black look familiar to me," Zi Jin said.

"Looks familiar?" Liu Yunxiang was a little surprised.

Zijin nodded, "You failed to kill the old man at Fahua Temple last time, so he fought back to kill you. Do you remember the killer?"

Liu Yunxiang thought to himself, "You mean the killer today and the killer that day are the same person?"

Zi Jin scratched his head and said, "Looking at the figure and moves, they look quite similar."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, could it be him?

Kill the old man that day, kill Xue Hefeng today, and Xue Hefeng was from Qin Fei's time... Thinking of this, Liu Yunxiang's eyes lit up.

"Let's go to Sister Qu's hospital!"
