Xiao Yulang went angrily to the outer house he bought for Tang Duanshu.

At that time Wu Qingyuan was hanging out with Tang Duanshu, he didn't watch out for Xiao Yulang leading someone to break into the door, went straight to the bed, opened the curtain, pulled the panic-stricken two people out of the bed, went up and slapped them a few times, Kicked the two of them a few times, scolding the two of them as adulterers and prostitutes, so bold that they dared to commit adultery behind their own backs...

Wu Qingyuan immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, and said that it was his cousin Tang Duanshu who seduced him first, and then he got involved with her.

As for Tang Duanshu, she said with tears and snot that it was Wu Qingyuan who hooked up with her first, and she joined him in a moment of confusion. She begged Xiao Yulang to bypass her for the sake of giving birth to two sons for him. This time.

"Hit me! Beat me to death! Especially this adulterer, beat me to death!" Xiao Yulang waved his hands sharply, not listening to the two's explanations.

Hearing this, the six or seven young servants he brought rolled up their sleeves and went forward to fight Wu Qingyuan and Tang Duanshu.

Xiao Yulang went to drag a chair, sat on the chair, raised his legs, watched with a dark face as the two were beaten and rolled around, and cried for mercy.

The young servants who started the attack also divided their attacks. Xiao Yulang said that he wanted to beat Wu Qingyuan to death, but they really took sticks and beat him.

As for Tang Duanshu, there were only two young servants who beat her up, and they beat her roughly, until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, and she shrank into a ball, so they stopped.After all, she is Xiao Yulang's concubine, and she is also the distant niece of his wife Tang, and she also gave birth to two grandchildren.

Not long after, Wu Qingyuan was beaten till his whole body was covered in blood by the subordinates brought by Xiao Yulang. He only breathed out but not breathed in. It seemed that he could not survive.

Xiao Yulang then ordered someone to tie Tang Duanshu up and lock him in a firewood shed. As for Wu Qingyuan, he was asked to carry him out, rolled him up on a mat and dragged him to a mass grave outside the city for burial.

Tang Duanshu was not beaten to death on the spot, and Xiao Yulang also considered that he gave birth to two sons for him, who were also relatives of his mother's natal family, otherwise, Tang Duanshu would not have been beaten to death.According to the law at that time, if a man and a woman commit adultery, the woman's husband can kill the adulterer on the spot.If they are not beaten to death and sent to the government, not many people can stand the 87 sticks from the government, and most of them are a word of death.Although Xiao Yulang has lost his succession qualifications as the head of the Xiao family, he is still the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, and his son Wen Yuan born to his stepmother is also the heir of the head of the Xiao family.Therefore, even though Tang Duanshu had committed adultery with Wu Qingyuan, he would not send them to the government and let them die under the staff of the government, otherwise he would lose face.

Leaving the two of them here to guard Tang Duanshu, Xiao Yulang sent someone to pick up the two sons and take them back to Xiao's house.

He planned to go back and tell his parents about this matter, and see how they deal with Tang Duanshu and the two children they brought back.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to Xiao's house, his father was not at home. His mother was flustered, and when she saw him, she grabbed his hand and said, "Yulang, what should I do? The prefect of Jinling's yamen came just now. Young Yacha, it is said that someone accused our family of colluding with overseas pirates, robbing merchant ships, and making a lot of ill-gotten wealth. Your grandfather and your father were locked up by the Yacha and dragged away by an iron chain. Everyone in the upper and lower ranks are flustered, and they don't know what to do!"

"What?" Xiao Yulang turned pale when he heard that, and he hurriedly asked, "Where are those people in the second room, second uncle and the others went to the yamen to take care of it?"

Tang said with tears in her eyes: "My mother is going to the second room, let your second uncle come forward to ask the prefect of Dong to take care of it, so that your grandfather and your father will not suffer in the yamen."

"Mother, I'll go with you." Xiao Yulang said immediately.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out, and saw the two wet nurses holding the children standing at the door, so he asked them to wait, and then came to settle the two children by himself later.

On the way Tang and Xiao Yulang hurried to the second room of the Xiao family, she asked her son, did the Xiao family really do what they were told about?

Xiao Yulang faltered and said: "Boy...baby is not too clear..."

In fact, Xiao Yulang also went out to sea with the Xiao family's fleet several times. Of course he knew what the Xiao family was doing, but he didn't personally participate in it.In the past few years, the Xiao family has formed a fleet to go to sea. Besides selling goods, some of their subordinates deal with overseas pirates.Those pirates bought off the Xiao family's stewards and asked them to provide the sailing routes of the merchant ships going out to sea and what goods were on board.The pirates plundered the merchant ships, and then sold these goods to the Xiao family at a low price. The Xiao family bought the stolen goods and resold them to make a fortune.

This is also the reason why the Xiao family started their own business after severing ties with the Shen family, and the family business is getting bigger and bigger.

I originally thought that this matter was done in secret, the Xiao family was dealing with overseas pirates, and the delivery place was thousands of miles away from Jinling, and the stolen goods they received were also sold to overseas people, and they did not directly participate in the pirate robbery. Looting merchant ships, no matter what happens, they will not be involved.

Unexpectedly, things would come to light one day.

Xiao Yulang couldn't figure it out, who actually sued the Xiao family, those people from abroad, it was mostly impossible.

The only thing left is that some of the people under the Xiao family betrayed the Xiao family.

However, now he has no time to think about who betrayed the Xiao family. What he wants to do now is to find the elders of the second room and discuss how to rescue his grandfather and father.

However, when he and his mother walked to the courtyard where the second uncle and the second uncle lived, they found that there were only a few servants left there, and they caught a woman. Xiao Yulang asked him where the second uncle and the others had gone, and the woman said tremblingly They had packed up the gold and silver and left in a hurry.

"Going away?" Xiao Yulang heard the words, ran in and took a look, and found that the second householder of the Xiao family was gone in the room.

He ran out again, dragged his mother who was standing outside panicked and crying, and left.

"Mother, let's hurry back and pack up our things and leave Jinling. The second uncle and the others have all escaped."

"Where can we escape, and if we escape, where are your grandfather and your father?"

"Now we don't care about them anymore. Do you know that colluding with overseas pirates to rob merchant ships, buying stolen goods at low prices, and selling them at high prices? These crimes will be punished and ransacked, and family members will be sold as slaves. I'm afraid it is Someone from our Xiao family who went to the sea went to report. As a result, grandfather and father were arrested and taken to the government office. Run away quickly, as long as you flee to the south, we will go to Nanyang on a merchant ship, and the government will not be able to catch us."

Hearing what his son said, Tang couldn't care less about crying anymore, and ran back with his son, and each of them went back to the house to pack up the gold and silver, packed their bags, brought a few confidants and three children in their arms, and walked through the back door of Xiao's house. He went out and fled Jinling in a carriage.

I don't want to, a servant named Ding Lin who was traveling with Tang and Xiao Yulang had a second heart. In the middle of the night, while the master was asleep, he stole the gold and silver that the master brought out, took Wen Yuan away, and ordered someone to report to the official. Capture Xiao Yulang and others.

The government's yamen then went to arrest Xiao Yulang and others, took them back to Jinling, and put them in prison.

Dong Zhong, the prefect of Jinling presided over the case of the Xiao family colluding with overseas pirates to plunder merchant ships and buy stolen goods. Because the servants who helped the Xiao family go to sea sued, and the owner of the robbed merchant ship identified Xiao's parents, Fang and his son as the masterminds, other members of the Xiao clan help each other.

Dong Zhifu sentenced Xiao Yongqing, Xiao Yanlu, and Xiao Yulang to beheaded in accordance with the court's laws, and issued a sea arrest document to arrest the other escaped Xiao clan members.As for the family members of the three, they were sold into slavery or exiled.

The Xiao family, which used to be the third among the four famous families in Jinling, was destroyed in this way.

After the Xiao family was destroyed, among the four prominent families in Jinling City, the Shen family was still the first, followed by the Lu family, the third became the Huang family, and the fourth family was replaced by the Qi family.

The Qi family was also in the grain business at first, but in recent years, they have flattered the imperial court's history of salt transportation in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, handled salt imports, started the official salt business, and quickly made a fortune.

Speaking of which, the Qi family has some connections with Jing Lan. When she was still in the Lin family in Qingxi Village, she met a young lady from the Qi family named Qi Juan.

Qi Juan once fought against injustice and wanted to redeem Jing Lan's body from Shen Wan, but failed in the end, but she never forgot this matter in her heart.

It wasn't until the "scandal" between Shen Wan and Jing Lan spread all over Jinling that she gave up on this thought.

And after she found out about this, she took the initiative to go to Lu's house to find Jing Lan, planning to visit her, to be friends again, and to walk around more with each other.Unexpectedly, when she went, she missed it.

The Lu family told Qi Juan that Jing Lan had left the Lu family for Jinling, and she might not be able to come back in the next year or two.

Qi Juan asked where Jing Lan had gone, and the Lu family told her that Jing Lan had gone to Yangzhou, where her mother's natal Tan family lived, and maybe she would be in the Tan family.

After getting this letter, Qi Juan went back. After she went back, she thought about it, and it happened that she and Li went home and felt bored, and wanted to go out for a walk, so why not ask Aunt Dingxiang to accompany her to Yangzhou to relax, in case Once Jing Lan can be found, the reunion of old friends is also a beautiful thing.

But Shen Wan and Jing Lan got the exact news that the government had arrested the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Yanlu and Xiao Yulang, and they said goodbye to their family and went to Yangzhou together.

On the boat, when the two talked about the destruction of the Xiao family, Jing Lan praised Shen Wan for her thoughtfulness. She not only sent people to follow Wu Qingyuan, but also found out his adultery with Tang Duanshu, and let Xiao Yulang catch their adulterers, making the adulterers commit adultery. |Women will not end well.In addition, they sent people to watch Xiao's family go to sea early in the morning, and even sent people to be boatmen on the boat where Xiao's family went to sea.After several years, they finally found out that the Xiao family colluded with overseas pirates to rob merchant ships, buy stolen goods at low prices, and resell them at high prices for profit.Now when they go to the Jinling government office to inform, Xiao Yulang and others are arrested and brought to justice, but it's a pity that the second family member of the Xiao family escaped.

Shen Wan smiled slightly and said: "Skynet is so extensive and not leaking, and one day they will be punished too. No matter what, the Xiao family is destroyed, and Xiao Yulang and his son can no longer harbor evil intentions and become enemies with us. Besides, you and I are good friends." The news of the incident has spread all over Jinling, and we can go in and out together in the future, and we can appear in front of people openly. Isn't this what you have been longing for? Not to mention my parents, and the old lady will treat you as a family. This In a while, Jun Pei will accompany us to Yangzhou, and soon, we will be able to live the life you want."

Jing Lan said yes, she hugged Shen Wan, and the two of them looked out of the cabin together, seeing the rising sun outside the cabin, reflecting the golden scales of the river shining, their hearts were filled with joy and satisfaction from the bottom of their hearts.

"Mother!" Jun Pei ran in suddenly, and seeing Jing Lan hugging Shen Wan, she became jealous, ran over, grabbed Shen Wan's skirt, and asked her to hug her.

Jing Lan let go, Shen Wan bent down to hug Jun Pei, and pointed to the beautiful scenery outside the cabin for her to see.

Standing behind the two, Jing Lan snickered, stretched out her hand, and embraced both mother and daughter in her arms. The three of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the river outside the window together.
