Tang Caiyun sneered, "Yu Hanyan pushed Zhuzhu down, leaving a one-inch scar behind her ear. And Zhuzhu and I did a blood test, so she is my daughter!"

Cai Ping'er said: "You left the Yu Mansion nineteen years ago. Who knows whose bastard she is?"

Manman was so angry that she slapped her twice without hesitation: "Shameless! I want to be a daughter of the Yu family? Does the Yu family have a throne to inherit?"

Yuanyuan couldn't stand hearing Manman being slandered like this, so she asked Xie Zhaozhao in a low voice: "Master?"

Xie Zhaozhao nodded slightly, and Yuanyuan immediately rushed over and slapped Cai Ping'er twice.

She had some martial arts skills and was not sparing any strength, so this palm strike was intended to take the opponent's life.

Cai Ping'er had two teeth knocked out and one of her ears immediately became deaf. Yuanyuan glared at her and went back to Xie Zhaozhao.

The Chief Justice felt a pain in his teeth, hiss~ How painful it must have been for these two slaps on his two teeth!

But he deserves to be beaten!

Surprisingly, Yu Changrong also crawled over, grabbed Cai Ping'er and punched her several times.

His action stunned Tang Caiyun. But she understood in an instant. Cai Ping'er, this old white lotus, caused the whole family to be wiped out. He must hate her to death, right?

The judge said to Cai Ping'er coldly, "The secret doctor hired by the government has verified that this young lady is the eldest daughter of the eldest branch of the Yu family."

Cai Ping'er was beaten silly.

Old Mrs. Cai no longer protected her. Her family was broken up and her good days were over. She was sold as a servant at an age when she should have been enjoying her life. She hated Cai Ping'er to death.

All the other female prisoners from the Yu and Cai families were dragged out and knelt in a large crowd in front of the hall.

The judge asked Tang Caiyun, "Ms. Tang, what is your wish? Please tell us in court."

Tang Caiyun said: "I want to divorce Yu Changrong and hope that my sons Yu Huaian and Yu Huaizhu will sever their relationship with Yu Changrong. From now on, my mother and I will have nothing to do with the Yu family."

Yu Hanyan cried out, "No, we can't divorce and we can't sever the relationship."

The judge asked, "Oh, why can't we divorce peacefully and sever the relationship?"

Yu Hanyan said: "Since my aunt married my uncle, they are naturally one as husband and wife. Yu Huaian and Yu Huaizhu are my uncle's children, so they should naturally stay with the Yu family."

Yu Changrong shouted, "The sinner Yu Changrong agrees to divorce and sever ties with Yu Huaian and Yu Huaizhu."

Yu Hanyan shouted indignantly: "Why can they sever ties with the Yu family? I want to sever ties with the family too, mother, I want to sever ties with the family too!"

Old Cai immediately said, "Sir, I am willing to sever my ties with Yu Hanyan, Yu Huaizhu, and Yu Huaian."

The judge gave her a cold look and said, "That's a nice thought."

The judge pronounced the verdict in court:

"The criminal Cai Ping'er deliberately abducted and sold the eldest daughter of the family, Yu Huaizhu, causing her to wander outside for twenty years. Her crime is extremely serious and she will be sent to death row and executed by slow slicing three days later."

"The prisoner Yu Changrong has long ignored his wife and children, and has been unworthy of being a husband and a father. He is sentenced to 30 lashes and continued exile. Yu Changrong and Tang Caiyun are allowed to divorce, and Yu Changrong is allowed to sever ties with Yu Huaian and Yu Huaizhu."

"Yu Huaian has been raised entirely by Tang since he was four years old. The Yu family has never taken care of Yu Huaian's daily life. Therefore, he is not implicated in the Yu Huaian case and is released on the spot."

"Yu Huaizhu has been wandering around since he was young, so he was not implicated in the Yu Huaimin case."

Cai Ping'er collapsed to the ground. Yu Hanyan was not convinced and shouted loudly: "Why shouldn't they be implicated? I never leave the house, why should I be punished? I refuse to accept it!"

The judge said, "You are such a bold female prisoner, you are yelling in court and disturbing order. Take her away and give her ten strokes of the cane!"

The bailiff picked up Yu Hanyan, dragged her to the yard outside the courtroom, and beat her with a stick until she passed out.

Cai Ping'er cursed: "You are a corrupt official, you are partial to your own interests and you are unfair in handling cases. We are both from the Yu Mansion, so why shouldn't Tang's mother and son be punished together?"

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at her leisurely: "Are you dissatisfied?"

"Who are you? I know, you must be a member of the Tang family. How much money did you give to this corrupt official?"

While she was cursing, there were many people watching on the street outside the yamen hall.

There were people who hated officials, and after hearing her instigation, they shouted loudly: "Yes, why isn't the eldest wife also implicated? Yu Changrong is a corrupt official, so why aren't his wife and children implicated? The Tang family must have used some tricks!"

Xie Zhaozhao stood up, and the judge immediately knelt down respectfully in front of Xie Zhaozhao and said, "Your Majesty!"

His Majesty?

Suddenly, the Yu family looked at Xie Zhaozhao in horror.

The people outside looked at each other in confusion. Why did the Chief Justice kneel down to that lady?

Xie Zhaozhao stood up and said, "My fellow villagers, the people of Yulong Country live and work in peace and contentment, and their hearts are kind and good. The second branch of the Yu family robbed other people's ancestral graves, which is a heinous crime. Not to punish the entire clan is already a mercy, but they even sold their own relatives, which is an unforgivable crime.

I cannot bear to see innocent people implicated, so I am very pleased when the Chief Justice makes the punishment!

Miss Yu Huaizhu was taken in by me when she was young and has always been by my side. I can vouch for her high character.

I hope that you will always have a heart that desires to do good. Even if a relative of yours has committed a serious crime, you may pardon him or her at your discretion.

Yu Huaian and Yu Huaizhu have no connection with the Yu family anymore. Yu Huaian has reached adulthood and can start his own family and take care of Tang until his death.

I am Miss Yu's background, and I want to support her! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you without mercy!"

……

The people cheered and more and more people knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor", all wanting to see the emperor.

Xie Zhaozhao took the opportunity to tell everyone that Lizhou was going to establish a trading post, and Lizhou would definitely become prosperous. He hoped that the people would be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, work hard to get rich, and also be wary of lawless elements from other countries.

The people present knelt on the ground and shouted long live the emperor.

The head of the Tang family knelt down and kowtowed the loudest.

I begged Tang Caiyun: "Since Huai'an and Huaizhu have severed their relationship with the Yu family, please take my sister and the two children back to the Tang family."

Tang Caiyun refused: "Huai'an is already young, let him start his own business."

Manman naturally understood what the head of the Tang family meant. She was a favorite of His Majesty, and it would be abnormal if the head of the Tang family did not curry favor with her.

The ones who regretted the most were Cai Ping'er, Old Madam Yu and Yu Changrong.

How could they have imagined that Manman would have such a great fortune after being sold?

Manman looked at Cai Ping'er and the old lady and said, "I want to thank you for your cruelty. If you hadn't sold me when I was young, I wouldn't have had the chance to serve His Majesty."

Madam Yu begged in tears: "Miss, please ask His Majesty to spare my grandmother. My grandmother is old and only needs a bowl of simple tea and rice. Please don't sell me as a slave."

And Yu Changrong also begged her that if she could let him go, he would definitely be good to Tang Caiyun, Yu Huaizhu, and Yu Huaian...

Manman smiled happily: "Regret it? It's too late!"

The old lady said, "I am your grandmother, Miss. Changrong is your biological father. You can't ignore him. Blood is thicker than water..."

Manman looked down at her and said, "You bold sinner, are you worthy enough to argue with me about blood being thicker than water?"

"You, you are an official?" Old Madam Yu regretted so much that her chest was bruised.

"Yes, she is a sixth-rank imperial attendant appointed by me personally. Not only will I give her an official title, I will also arrange a marriage for her and personally confer a first-rank imperial decree on her!"

The old lady and Yu Changrong both started vomiting blood~

Yu Hanyan used her fingers to dig a row of bloody holes in the floor tiles!

The chief judge said to the yamen runners, "Take all the prisoners away. Except for those who need to be executed, sell the rest as soon as possible."

Manman looked at the Yu family members who were being led away like pigs and dogs, and clenched his fists and shouted "Yeah!"

I have a great time today.

Yu Huaian kowtowed to Xie Zhaozhao again and again, thanking her for saving his family.

Xie Zhaozhao said: "I pardon you and you are innocent. You should go to Kyoto to take part in the Spring Examination. If you pass the examination, I will meet you in the palace examination."

Manman said, "Brother, you must study hard to qualify for the Qionglin Banquet awarded by His Majesty."

If you pass the imperial examination, you will be able to meet His Majesty in the Golden Palace and attend the Qionglin Banquet.

Tang Caiyun took Yu Huaian away from the palace and went back to prepare to go to Beijing. The head of the Tang family sent four guards to take Yu Huaian to Beijing for the exam.

The next day, the head of the Tang family led all the elders of the Tang family to the palace to express their gratitude.

The Tang family donated 300,000 shi of grain, 200,000 taels of silver, and 200,000 strings of cash to the court to thank Your Majesty for your grace.

The Tang family wanted to take Manman back to visit relatives, and Xie Zhaozhao agreed.

Before Manman left, Xie Zhaozhao said, "Changhe Town is going to establish a trading pilot project, which is bound to have a bright future. If the Tang family has suitable talents for official positions, you can allow vacancies of the sixth rank and below."

I am filled with gratitude. This is the grace of your majesty, who truly supports her.

Manman and Tang Caiyun went to visit Tang's relatives. Xu Li and Changming came back and reported their experience in Xujia Village to Xie Zhaozhao.

Xu Li left Xujia Village without hesitation, and Xu Tiezhu's family was stunned.

Xu Erlang chased Xu Li frantically, but how could a two-legged horse compare with a four-legged BMW?

Xu Erlang returned to the dilapidated courtyard in a daze. Looking at Liu Ermei, Xu Tiezhu, Xu Dalang and Xu Sanlang, the hatred in his heart condensed into a poisonous flame in his eyes.

That day, Xu Erlang begged the head of the village to borrow his ox cart and went to the county town.

In the county town, the "General's Mansion" that Ying Wenlong had specially sent to Xu Li was already deserted. He went to the county government office, and the county magistrate said that the general had already returned to Beijing.

Xu Erlang did not give up and waited at the gate of the general's mansion for two days and one night. Sure enough, his fourth uncle was nowhere to be seen. His fourth uncle was really gone.

Unwilling to give up, he returned to Xujia Village and cursed Xu Tiezhu and Xu Dalang, saying that they had hindered his life.

Holding a butcher knife, he said to Xu Tiezhu's family, "I'm going to find Master Ying. I want to go to the capital. If Second Uncle still refuses to acknowledge me as his son, I will kill your whole family when I come back."

Xu Tiezhu and Liu Ermei were both frightened out of their wits.

He went to the county town again and found Ying Wenlong, asking him to help contact his fourth uncle and get his address, as he wanted to go to Beijing to look for him.

Ying Wenlong laughed loudly and said angrily: "How dare you come to me? I will ask you for General Xu!"

Ying Wenlong shouted without saying anything, "Take this ungrateful bastard out and give him ten slaps. Take your weapons and go to Xujia Village!"
