At the end of April, the Ministry of Punishment was in charge of the scientific examination fraud case, which was investigated by Prince Duan Ma Duanjun, and the case was finally successfully closed. On this day, the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment was crowded with people. Xi was innocent, the surrounding scholars burst into loud cheers, but Fu Yunxi himself looked very ordinary, as if he had nothing to do with him, and the years of injustice were in vain, and the bone spurs all over his body had been worn away. All that is left is roundness and calmness.

Next, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice announced the verdict of a group of officials headed by Wen Yuan. The beheading of the officials involved in the case, the ransacking of the house, the exile of the exile, no one escaped the severe punishment of the law.

Candidates involved in bribing officials have their own sentences depending on the severity of the circumstances. Shen Xiao and Shen Yang bribed a small amount of money, but as the sons of officials, they committed crimes of knowing the law and breaking the law. Yang Wanli sentenced them to ten years of hard labor and a fine of 4 Two taels of silver. After Shen Ruiting repeatedly pleaded for mercy, the treasury was indeed short of money. The emperor gave them a special favor and asked them to take out 50 taels of silver to offset their ten years of hard labor. He sold many Zhuangzi and shops in the Hou Mansion at a low price, and spent half of the Hou Mansion to collect 54 taels of silver to redeem the two of them.

Strange to say, on the second day after the scientific examination fraud case was closed and Wen Yuan and other officials who interfered in the case were beheaded, the heavy rain that lasted for a whole month stopped and the sky gradually cleared. The rumors that he died in peace were firmly believed, and then the imperial court began an intensive disaster relief operation. Thanks to the families of those ministers, the treasury was filled by more than half.

"For 54 taels of silver, half of the Hou's mansion has been invested in. Shen Ruiting is really willing to part with it."

On the day when Shen Xiao and Shen Yang were picked up, everyone in the mansion went to the gate to welcome them. Only Shen Liang remained in the Second Advent Courtyard, and no one told him to go with him. Everyone in the Hou Mansion seemed to have forgotten his existence. In general, Qi Yue and Qi Xuan couldn't help complaining for him again. Shen Liang personally thinks that they are quite sensible. If he is allowed to go, maybe the two people who have finally been rescued will be ashamed to death. Now they are severely punished The topic of gang rape is still hot.

"Yeah, it's really worth it."

Shen Liang's eyes were also a little cold, he was not a fussy person, nor was he greedy for the money of the Houfu, but Shen Ruiting sold those things in order to collect money, but in the future they would belong to his brother, and now they are all spent on Shen Xiao and Shen Yang. He didn't believe what the emperor was up to. The betrothal gift given by Prince Qingping's mansion was quite generous, and the dowry returned by Hou's mansion must not be small. Now that he sold so many things to raise money, what will he give him as a dowry in the future?Without a dowry, the wedding cannot be extended?

"Master, Patriarch Murong asked me to hand this over to you."

While talking, Lei Zhen suddenly appeared, and sent a stack of land deeds and house deeds to Shen Liang: "Among them, three Zhuangzi and five shops in the imperial city were sold by Shen Ruiting. The remaining ten Zhuangzi and twenty shops in the imperial city are the engagement gifts from Patriarch Murong to the lord."

Shen Liang looked through those land deeds and house deeds, all of which are white deeds that can be changed hands at will, not to mention Zhuangzi, most of the shops in the imperial city are in the hands of the big families, and there is often a price but no market. Unexpectedly, Shen Ruiting was willing to sell it. It is easy to sell today, but it will be difficult to buy it back in the future.

"Patriarch Murong is too polite, these villages and shops have already exceeded the value of those linen."

The Murong family had said before that they would give him the money from the linen. After all, he was not the one who benefited from the linen in the end. Shen Liang refused. Unexpectedly, they gave him the money in a different way.

"Patriarch Murong said that what they got was far more than what they gave. Please don't be polite, master. If you need it, you are welcome to go to them at any time."

Lei Zhen dutifully relayed what Murong Hai said.

"Okay, I'll accept it, and you thank Patriarch Murong on my behalf."

It would be hypocritical to refuse any further, Shen Liang handed over the title deed and house deed to Qi Yue: "Brother Yue, you will take care of these things from now on, if you don't know, just ask Uncle Fu, Brother Xuan, if you have nothing to do, help me out, don't You only focus on practicing martial arts all day long, and you won't get rusty if you use your brain properly."

"Cool cool..."

After the words fell, everyone in the room couldn't help laughing, only Qi Xuan protested unfairly, but it was a pity that no one paid attention to him.

"Liang Liang, these are all white deeds, do I need to take them to the Yamen to exchange them for red deeds?"

After laughing, Qi Yue flipped through the land deeds and house deeds, raised his head and asked, the white deed is equivalent to the deed of living, whoever owns it, and can resell it freely without going through the Yamen, while the red deed must be owned by the owner Talents are qualified to resell. After reselling, they must go to the Yamen to transfer the ownership with the buyer and pay [-]% of the Yamen's tax. Most people think it is troublesome, and most of them will not turn it into a red deed, especially big families. The land deeds in their hands are often It would be too troublesome to change to a red deed if it is to be used as a send-off and welcome, as a betrothal gift or dowry for younger generations, and it is basically a white deed.

"No, I will return all the part belonging to the Hou Mansion to my elder brother in the future. It is too troublesome to convert it into a red deed, so you don't have to worry too much about managing it. Zhuangzi should be in operation. Let the stewards come to see you. Find out, it works as it should, you can continue to rent out the rented shops, find a way to rent out the empty ones, or you can use them for any business you want.”

He managed too many of these things in his previous life. Although Qin Yunshen didn't want to see him, he was not stingy with the rights that should be given to him. In this life, he doesn't want to touch it anymore. He believes that he will not need to intervene in the internal affairs of the Qingping Palace in the future. , he only needs to know the general situation.

"Well, okay, I... this is..."

Qi Yue nodded, and when he was about to put away the pile of contracts, he accidentally scanned a familiar title deed, and the rest of the words were stuck deep in his throat, and his eyes couldn't help turning red, and he couldn't help feeling cold Strangely said: "What's wrong?"

Qi Xuan, Fuying and Yaoguang also approached curiously, and saw that the contract stated that Zaozhuang was fifty miles outside Tongchuan City, and everyone fell silent because they all knew that it was the place where Shen Liang had been staying for five years. .

"Cool cool..."

Looking up at him with red eyes, hesitant to speak, Qi Yue slowly handed over the land deed, Shen Liang took a look at it, and said, "It's only now, don't you think it's too late?"

Shen Ruiting would sell this Zhuangzi, presumably because of his words?

"Liangliang, I want to go to Tongchuan myself."

Qi Yue stood up suddenly, his fists hanging by his sides clenched into fists. In the past five years, how the woman in charge of the Zhuangzi oppressed them, and how her son coveted Liangliang, all of them are still fresh in his memory, and he still feels It is vivid in my mind, now that Zhuangzi has fallen into their hands, it is their turn to go back to take revenge, this kind of thing does not need to be cool, he just goes.

"I'm going too, Liangliang, I've long wanted to beat those bastards to death."

Qi Xuan stood up right after him, seeing him grinding his teeth must have caused a lot of sadness.

"Are you sure?"

After looking at them deeply for a while, Shen Liang asked in a deep voice, people like the woman in charge are just pretending to be powerful, he didn't take it to heart at all, but if Qi Yue and the others cared, he didn't mind them either. Take a trip and vent the bad breath yourself.

"Ah."

The two brothers looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Okay, I'll ask Lei Zhen to send some people to you later. You can set off early tomorrow morning, and come back as soon as possible after solving the Zhuangzi's affairs. The Second Advent Court cannot do without you."

This matter was decided in this way. The Second Advent Courtyard is still the same as before, peaceful and peaceful, but the other courtyards in the Hou Mansion are different. Not only did Shen Xiao and Shenyang come back without bringing back laughter, but it was even more exciting to make them all cry Miserable, as if the master of the Hou Mansion died, the two self-proclaimed noble and extremely proud not only suffered severe physical injuries, but have not yet recovered, and their hearts have suffered unprecedented blows. As soon as they returned home, they locked themselves in After entering the room, no matter how Liu Shuhan and the old lady knocked on the door, the two of them would not answer in a tacit understanding, let alone seeing outsiders, they dared not even meet their own people.

"Let him be locked up until he dies."

Shen Ruiting couldn't bear it anymore, and left the courtyard where Shen Xiao lived with a wave of his hand.

"Lord Hou, Lord Hou..."

Seeing this, Liu Shuhan wiped away his tears and ran after him to stop him: "Master Hou, Xiao Er didn't do it on purpose, he did it because he was hit too hard, woo woo...he is a big man who was...Master Hou, he is also yours!" Son, do you feel distressed?"

Now that Shen Xiao has a criminal record, his official career is hopeless, and when he encounters this kind of thing again, his reputation will be ruined, and it will be difficult for him to be a clean person. If even Shen Ruiting despises him, then he will never turn around in his life There is room.

"I don't feel distressed? How else should I feel distressed? 54 taels of silver, half of the Shen family in the Marquis Mansion, is not enough to love him? Liu Shuhan, don't forget how Shen Xiao became my son. You are a noble concubine, do you think this Marquis will straighten you up? When I straightened you up, what did you promise me? Have you ever treated Da'er kindly in these years? If you didn't have your order, the woman in charge of the village would dare to do that. I’ll tell you Liu Shuhan, no matter whether Xiao Wu is an evil star or not, whether Zeqian was killed by him, whether Benhou cares about him, he is my son, and it’s not your turn to bully him. A few days ago, I heard that when Xiaowu’s people went to Baiyun Temple, someone took Guichen away and killed him. If he was really not weird, how could you kill people to silence him? Liu Shuhan, you really do! This Marquis is a fool, can he play with it at will?"

Shen Ruiting's anger that had been suppressed for several days erupted in an instant. God knows how severe the blow would be when he learned that Guichen was silenced. The inside story, but he didn't dare to let himself think about it, he knew that the result might not be something he could bear.

"No, it's not my Marquis, I don't know anything, I..."

Hearing this, Liu Shuhan reached out excitedly to pull him, but Shen Ruiting waved her away mercilessly: "It's not you? The existence of Xiao Wu and Da'er will only threaten your children. If it's not you, can't you still be a mother? Hou Apart from you and your mother, who else in the family has the ability to make this matter leak-free? Liu Shuhan, this Marquis really underestimated you, you better not let Ben Hou find any evidence, otherwise Ben Hou will definitely send it to you in person. You and your children go to hell!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Ruiting took Chen Xiang away, Liu Shuhan stared at his figure foolishly with tears streaming down his face, while Shen Qiang who was already so frightened that he could only wipe away tears stepped forward and took her arm and choked and said: "Mother... "

"Shen Ruiting, you forced me to do this."

Turning to look at her, Liu Shuhan snapped his fingers suddenly, and a figure appeared silently: "Tell brother, speed up the process of that matter."

"Yes."

Just like when he came, the figure disappeared without a trace, leaving only Liu Shuhan with a sinister face and Shen Qiang who was puzzled.
