Dai Yuxin says
Chapter 105
The imperial envoy was so angry that he walked out of the hall and said to the yamen servant who was executing the sentence in the yard: "This man turned the truth upside down in the hall just now and gave false testimony. Now he is obstructing the official business. He is really contemptuous of the king's law. Pull him over and beat him too." Forty boards. This imperial envoy will personally imprison and punish, and see who dares to bend the law for personal gain!"
The Zhen family got the news just after half of the sentence was executed.
Master Zhen Er hurried over with his servant, carrying a bag full of silver.
Seeing the imperial envoy Natou, he bowed and begged: "Please spare your life! The silver is brought, and you can be fined as much as you want. I just want to save my nephew Baoyu's life."
He wholeheartedly wanted to save his nephew, but seeing the imperial envoy twirling his beard, he remained silent.He hurriedly showed Wang Ziteng's card, and whispered: "My nephew, Zhen Baoyu, has just been engaged to Mrs. Wang Ziteng's daughter, and plans to get married this winter."
Seeing the commotion over there, Ah Shan knew that the matter had come to an end, fearing that Daiyu would be worried at the inn, he asked Xueyan to report back early.
Xueyan chirped, quacked and gesticulated, repeating the story.
After hearing this, Zijuan said happily: "Amitabha! Thanks to the imperial envoy, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
Here the master and servant were happy, but the Zhen family was crying loudly, as if eight people had died.
When Mrs. Zhen saw Zhen Baoyu, who was dripping with blood and unconscious, she passed out immediately.
Master Zhen Er saw his youngest son's life hanging by a thread, even though he usually annoyed him that he didn't like to study and make progress, at this moment, he felt very distressed and couldn't bear it.
Seeing that the old lady felt sorry for her grandson and passed out, she was even more sad, and she called for a doctor quickly.
The family led the doctor, and the servant flew over with the medicine box.
"Second master, the old lady is in a hurry, and the old man will wake up immediately after giving her an injection. It's just that the young master's injury is serious, and it has touched his heart and spleen. Apart from needing a long period of time to heal, he also needs to be carefully recuperated." The doctor's face turned pale. Said solemnly.
"This, damn it!" Master Zhen Er was full of anger and anxiety.Blunting curses, I don't know who is scolding.It turned out that the young master of the Zhen family was under the full mediation of the Gusu government, and the imperial envoy was guaranteed to come out for treatment, and the time was only given for three days.
In other words, after three days, Zhen Baoyu would have to go to prison to serve his sentence.
The old lady Zhen woke up leisurely, put her arms around Young Master Zhen and cried loudly: "Who the hell beat you up like this?"
Crying and crying, staring at the tearful old eyes, he yelled at Master Zhen Er: "If you don't send someone to investigate, catch the person who beat my grandson, I will scrape them piecemeal!"
"Mother!" Master Zhen Er called out, bent down and covered the old lady's mouth, and said in a low voice, "It was the imperial envoy sent by the capital who ordered him to beat her."
"How could this be? How is this possible?" Mrs. Zhen is also a shrewd person and knows the seriousness of the matter.
She cried out heartily, not daring to speak harsh words anymore, but told Second Young Master Zhen to send a letter to First Young Master Zhen in Jinling.
Zhen Baoyu smeared the ointment, fed the decoction, apart from crying and screaming, his mind is still clear, and it seems that there is no danger of life.
The old lady began to feel relieved, and asked Master Zhen Er why, she was silent for a while, and said: "Anyway, one of us died, and the Gusu Mansion is taking care of us, even imperial envoys shouldn't do this." There must be something inside that we don't know about beating people like this without showing respect."
"Mother, is this the master of the Lin family?" The second master Zhen suddenly remembered something, looked at the bewildered eyes of the old lady Zhen, and quickly explained: "Yesterday, my son, I received a letter from Mrs. Jia's mansion in the capital, saying Lin Hai's daughter, Lin Daiyu, came back to visit the grave. Mrs. Wang hinted in the letter that Lin Daiyu wanted to restore the Lin family's property in Gusu. Today in the lobby of the yamen, the girl saw that the girl looked pretty and didn't dress like ordinary girls from a small family. Maybe she was Lin Daiyu .”
"How could it be?" Mrs. Zhen shook her head in denial. Seeing that her second son was puzzled, she analyzed: "The girl of the Lin family is also the daughter of the Hou family. Why would the Jia family let her come back alone? How come she doesn't have many people around her?"
"Mother, Mrs. Jia's wife said in the letter that the girl from the Lin family left Jia's house and lived alone. The letter also said that the girl from the Lin family may have a relationship with the emperor. If the girl from the Lin family enters the palace, she will treat Concubine Jia very Unfavorable. The boy thought, when the Lin family girl sees the Lin family wild boy, she will definitely find a way to take back the old Lin family house. Maybe this matter today has something to do with the Lin family girl, and this matter should not be taken lightly."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhen was extremely cautious, rolled her eyes and asked, "What do you think should be done?"
"Boy, I let the Lin family's wild boy go by mistake at the beginning. Now, according to my idea, I just don't do anything, and end the Lin family's girl and the Lin family's wild boy together, so that there will be no future troubles." The second master Zhen's eyes were fierce, vicious say.
"I don't care about this matter, I just want you to avenge my grandson quickly, and don't get yourself burned." After the old lady Zhen finished speaking, she thought for a moment, and then said: "You'd better not be rash, talk to your elder brother first, and go to the prince. Let's get to the bottom of it. If the girl of the Lin family is really as the second wife of Jia's family said, this matter should be kept a little more secret."
I am afraid that the older a person is, the more experienced he is, the less courageous he will be.
At this moment, what Mrs. Zhen thinks most about is not her beloved grandson being beaten, but the reason why the imperial envoy personally supervised the beating of her grandson. She hasn't figured out the inside story of the matter, so she can't act rashly.She asked her second son to keep things secret because she considered that what happened today was very strange.
The Zhen family has been rich and powerful for hundreds of years, so they can't capsize in the gutter, because the loss outweighs the gains for a declining Lin family.
Master Zhen Er saw that the old lady was lost in thought, thinking that she was thinking about revenge.
Comforting: "Mother, it turned out that the girl of the Lin family and that wild boy are not a piece of cake, they are easy to catch."
Suddenly seeing old lady Zhen's eyes light up, she hurriedly added: "Mother, my son knows that this matter is different from the past, and will carefully and covertly send someone to investigate first, and then when it is settled..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
The "Shiyuan" of Yuelai Inn is full of guests today.
Ashan was afraid that Lin Liangyu's mother and son would be retaliated by the Zhen family, so he invited his mother and son to live in the front yard of "Shiyuan" on his own initiative, and was about to report to Daiyu.The guards came to report that a lady who claimed to be the housekeeper of the Zhen family had come outside the door, and she brought a generous gift and said that she was here to visit the girl.
Ah Shan narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and widened his big round eyes. The eyeballs shone with green light. He turned around a few times and said with a sly smile, "Well, let her come in. I'll take her to see the girl." .”
When Daiyu heard that she was the housekeeper of the Zhen family, she couldn't help feeling annoyed that the Zhen family had robbed her ancestral house, accused her cousin of being wronged and imprisoned, and suffered all kinds of torture.
Thinking about this debt, they have not settled with them yet, but they came to the door first.
Know yourself and yourself, you can win a hundred battles, see what she has to say?
The housekeeper of the Zhen family is about forty years old, with a pointed face, monkey eyes, thin lips, and a figure like a bamboo pole.He followed Ah Shan in with a flattering smile, and when he saw Daiyu, he stared at Yuan's monkey eyes in astonishment, staring straight at Daiyu as if they had been nailed to death.
Daiyu asked unhappily: "I have never met your master, why is that so?"
The lady in charge of the housekeeper asked the wrong question: "There is such a girl with such a symbol in the world!"
Ah Shan stepped forward, waved his five fingers in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Hey! My girl is asking you something, just say what you know?"
"My young master Sun was seriously injured. The old lady and the second master suspected that there was something hidden in it. It happened that the Jia family sent a letter saying that Miss Lin came back to visit the grave, implying that Miss Lin wanted to take back the Lin family's property. My master sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that Mr. Sun The beating is related to the Lin family. The old lady and the second master are convinced that Miss Lin may have come back for another purpose besides sweeping the tomb." The housekeeper of the Zhen family, who was under the control of Ah Shan's Dafa, gathered what she knew poured out.
Daiyu sneered and asked, "Did you come here just to know my purpose?"
The housekeeper shook her head and replied: "The house where our Zhen family lives in Gusu is the old house of Mr. Lin Hai. It was obtained by my master's plan to put Mr. Lin Hai's nephew into prison. Miss Lin just came back this time. You don't show affection, you hurt my young master Sun, and you will be put in prison three days later. This matter must have something to do with Miss Lin. The old lady said that the person who untied the bell had to tie the bell, and wanted to take Miss Lin to her home. Our young master Sun just met with Mr. Wang Ziteng My youngest daughter made an engagement and asked Miss Lin to be our Young Master Sun's housekeeper. The old slave thought, with Miss Lin's appearance, it is possible to be promoted to be an aunt in the future. In this way, our Zhen family will gain a good reputation for taking in orphans , secondly, the government will not be able to pursue anything further.”
When Daiyu heard this, her face was livid with anger, her whole body was trembling, annoyed and ashamed, she pointed at the housekeeper with her slender hands, and said angrily, "You!"
Ah Shan smiled at Daiyu: "Miss, don't be angry because of a villain, it's not worth it. This woman should be telling the truth, how will you deal with it?"
Daiyu said bitterly: "Shoot her out quickly! I must go back to the ancestral house of the Lin family!"
The next day, as soon as the imperial envoy opened his eyes, he saw a petition beside the pillow.
He took out the complaint with suspicion and fear, only to see that the words of the complaint were bloody and tearful, and every sentence was wronged.
The imperial envoy couldn't help shaking, not because he was deeply moved by the complaint, but because he was frightened by the inexplicable complaint next to his pillow.
He thought to himself, if the person who filed the petition wanted his life, it would be as easy as finding something in his pocket.
A hero does not suffer immediate losses, his own life is the most important thing.
Don't say that the allegations in this complaint are true in all likelihood, and even if they are not true, he will judge according to the truth.
The Lin family has been in great decline, but the person suing the Lin family is the Jinling Zhen family, which is a well-known and wealthy family.
The imperial envoy remembered that when he left Beijing, the emperor asked him to go and personally explained that he wanted to pay attention to Lin Daiyu, the daughter of Lin Hai who went back to the south to sweep the grave.
From the tone of the emperor's eyes, one can really feel the emperor's concern for Miss Na Lin.
This complaint was placed next to his pillow without anyone noticing it.
The person who sent the complaint was not an ordinary person, maybe he was the emperor's secret guard. Besides, who else has such ability?
He thought, if this matter is done well, not only can he have a good reputation in the local area, but more importantly, he can please the emperor.He seemed to have seen a bright future like flowers and brocades, and he couldn't hold back his excitement any longer. He immediately put on his official robe and hat, and he didn't even care about breakfast, so he was about to be promoted to court for a case.
Last night, the Zhen family quietly went to the Gusu Mansion Terrace, and they only returned after most of the night after being frightened and coaxed.
I didn't close my eyes all night, sorting out all the things I have done since I took office in Gusu, and felt that the old lady of the Zhen family didn't take herself too seriously last night. Master, it's almost like scolding your own servants.
The young master of the Zhen family is really a pighead, he regards the yamen hall as his own hall, and in front of the imperial envoy, he bluntly admits that he led his servants to bully men and women, and everything has been signed in black and white.Even if I want to break the law again and protect him, what can I do then?
This may be due to fate, this young master of the Zhen family, and possibly the entire Zhen family, this time was considered to have been hit by an imperial envoy's gun.It's possible that if one trigger affects the whole body, the entire Zhen family will be ruined.
It might not be so easy to protect the young master of the Zhen family from going to jail.
The Zhen family has been used to the prestige in the south of the Yangtze River these years, and they really think that even the emperor and I can't control their family.
Last night, the old lady of the Zhen family and the second master Zhen not only asked themselves to keep Young Master Zhen, but also helped them call back Lin Daiyu's idea of sweeping the grave.
The more Gusu Futai thought about it, the more angry he became, but there was nothing he could do.
Eat the soft mouth of others, take the softness of others.
I have eaten and taken a lot from the Zhen family over the years, and I have long been tied to a rope with them.
If he didn't help the Zhen family, if something happened to the Zhen family, he would not be able to get away with it.
well!What a dilemma.
A slippery pink arm stretched out, followed by a soft body, like an octopus surrounded him.
He suddenly felt that there was a big net and wanted to cover himself.
A carp straightened up, turned over and sat up, and took a closer look. It was his favorite little concubine who was sleepy and asked with an ambiguous smile, "Did you think of another trick?"
"What nonsense! I'm full of thoughts, don't bother me." He pushed away the concubine's soft body in disgust, pulled the quilt impatiently, surrounded half of his body, and thought silently.
The concubine curled her lips ignorantly, with tears in her eyes, she reached out to wipe her eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Gusu Futai couldn't bear to see her sad, grabbed the concubine's hand, stared at the huge and shiny ring on her finger, and asked loudly like a thief, "Where did this come from?" !"
The concubine pulled back her hand vigorously, rolled her eyes and said in displeasure: "Yesterday afternoon, the old lady of the Zhen family sent someone to give it to me, saying that this ring was made of fine steel diamonds, and it came from the country of Oldman. It takes tens of millions of miles to get here, and this is a good thing that money can't buy."
As the concubine said, she held the ring up to her eyes and admired it seriously again.
As if bitten by a scorpion, Gusu Futai grinned and said, "Go back!"
The concubine glanced at him, and said with a faint smile: "Return all the good things sent by the Zhen family? I think that some of them can be returned, and some of them may not be returned."
Yes, the concubine was right.Some are irreversible.For example, how could this charming little concubine by her side return to Zhao?
I had no choice but to go all the way to the dark.
I hope that the Zhen family's fortune will be strong, with hands and eyes open to the sky, and deeply rooted, so that no one can shake it.
"Master! The Imperial Envoy has woken up and is going to handle the case now." The young man outside the door announced the imperial envoy's movements through the crack of the door.
"So early, what case are you dealing with?" Gusu Futai was puzzled that he had misheard, got out of bed in his clothes, opened the door and asked carefully: "What did you say?"
After the little servant repeated it, Gusu Futai was very upset, went back to the room, picked up the gown and put it on his legs, but he couldn't put it on, and was so anxious that he was sweating.
In a blink of an eye, I saw my concubine sitting on the bed, looking at him and smiling.
He couldn't help saying angrily: "Get up quickly, death is imminent!"
The concubine blinked her big eyes, pouted her small mouth, and said in a coquettish voice, "When is this? What case is being tried? Damn it!"
Seeing the big beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, he felt that what he said was not a joke, so he hurriedly got up and helped him to dress and put on his hat.
"Don't dawdle, hurry up and go to Zhen's house in person, and tell the old lady that imperial envoys are hard to deal with, and it's the right way to make preparations earlier." When he was about to leave, he glanced at the concubine, as if he had a lot to say Said, finally shook his head, smiled wryly, shut his mouth and strode away.
When he just stepped through the door, the imperial envoy raised his head and said, "I was about to send someone to look for you. Look at this complaint. You should know something about it, right?"
He took the complaint and took a look at it.
He helped the Zhen family to do this matter, and of course he had a clear account in his heart.
His heart rose to his throat, what the current emperor hates the most is corruption and perverting the law, now it seems that something is wrong, it is very likely that stealing chickens will not make money.It's really worthless to get the benefits of the Zhen family, maybe even my own money will be taken away, or if I don't do it well, my house will be ransacked, and the whole family will be implicated.
His hands trembling while holding the complaint, his face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "This matter was handled by the lower official. At that time, the lower official had just arrived in Gusu and encountered such a case. At that time, the lower official also felt that there seemed to be something hidden in it." , but the witnesses have all the evidence, so the lower officials have no choice but to follow the law and release Lin Liangyu as an accomplice. My lord is going to reopen the trial now, and the lower officials also want to find out the ins and outs of the case."
The imperial envoy sneered, and said: "From the point of view of this imperial envoy, the context of this case is not complicated. The key is the source of the money that Lin Liangyu bought back to the Lin family's ancestral house, and everything will be revealed."
Cold sweat broke out on the stage of the Gusu Mansion, he nodded and bowed his head and said: "Yes, what the imperial envoy said is very true. At that time, the lower official only thought that Lin Hai only left a weak girl, she was still young, and she went to Jia's mansion in the capital, so it is not good to say it again. Go and disturb Miss Lin. The Jia family and the Zhen family in Jinling are old relatives and have a very close relationship. I think the Zhen family will not wrong Lin Liangyu because of the face of the Jia family. The evidence at hand is also very complete, so that's it The case is closed. This is because the officials were confused for a while, and they failed to go to Jia's mansion in the capital to collect evidence."
"Well, my imperial envoy is very lucky. When I received this complaint, I learned that Master Lin Hai's orphan has returned to Gusu to visit the grave, and is now in Gusu City." The imperial envoy said, his eyes brightened, full of confidence, and he looked determined. Winning demeanor.
The Gusu government office was very puzzled, and couldn't figure out why the imperial envoy paid so much attention to a poor Lin Liangyu. Could it be that he wanted to get back the ancestral house for the dead ghost Lin Hai?
Here is the imperial court envoy, behind is the emperor who holds the power of life and death, and on the other side is a rich and powerful family, a local bully.
I'm just a fifth-rank official, and it's not good to offend anyone.
This imperial envoy is really vigorous and resolute in his work, saying that the wind is like the rain.
I saw that he acted arbitrarily, issued lottery papers, sent yamen servants, and went to Zhen's house and Yuelai Inn separately.
Then, he sat in the lobby and ate breakfast while waiting for his promotion to handle the case.
People were very surprised when they saw the yamen servant escorting the second master of the Zhen family, and they all followed to see what happened.
In the lobby of the Gusu government office, more and more people gathered, and soon they were surrounded by a sea of people.
The imperial envoy knew in his heart that the emperor had always attached great importance to Jiangnan, and there were as many spies as a cow's hair.For my actions in Gusu, maybe I didn't report the dragon case, but the secret agent's report arrived long ago.
He looked at the situation with full confidence, planning to bring down the Zhen family in a while, and let the common people see how he would give Lin Liangyu justice.
The more I thought about it, the happier I felt, as if I saw a Wanmin Umbrella swaying in front of my eyes.
"Report! The Zhen family brought it!" The yamen servant reported loudly, waking up the imperial envoy from his fantasy. He rubbed his eyes, looked at the second master of the Zhen family standing below, and sighed secretly: "Damn, it's really well maintained !"
"Report! The Lin family brought it!" He heard the sound and glanced at Lin Liangyu, only to see that this frail scholar had a slender figure and delicate features, but his complexion was sallow and emaciated, and he was obviously undernourished.
The imperial envoy began to try the case confidently.
In the crowd watching, the second master of the Zhen family spoke eloquently and answered ten questions, with a sarcastic smile in his eyes from time to time.
Lin Liangyu's words are not many but to the point, and every sentence falls on the point, which makes people have to be convinced.
In the end, the second master of the Zhen family lifted his stubby arms upwards, and six or seven men and women of different fat and thin, and ages rushed over beside him, holding various physical evidence proving that Lin Liangyu was a thief.
The second master of the Zhen family faced the imperial envoy in the court, and said in a clear voice: "Lin Liangyu is a mediocre man, how could there be a huge sum of money to buy the ancestral house of the Lin family? If it is said to be a gift from Lin Hai, why didn't Lin Hai directly give the ancestral house to him when he was alive? Why bother? The complaint said that the Zhen family conspired to seize the ancestral home of the Lin family and framed him as a thief. Is there any witness or physical evidence? He has nothing."
Speaking of joy, the second master of the Zhen family pointed at the witnesses of the six or seven witnesses and the physical evidence in their hands, and laughed triumphantly: "Look! These are all the evidence of my Zhen family, and these are enough to prove that my Zhen family Act openly and aboveboard, not afraid of villains waiting for opportunities to retaliate."
As he spoke, he waved his hand to the people next to him. The six or seven people didn't wait for the imperial envoy to speak, let alone ask the government servant to do anything. They went straight to the imperial envoy, and put the so-called evidence in their hands in front of him.
"This..." The Imperial Envoy only had a petition in his hand, without evidence.
Facing Master Zhen's eloquence and numerous witnesses, although he was annoyed that Master Zhen's family was too presumptuous, he didn't know how to refute him, and he was a little overwhelmed. "Crack!" There was a loud noise, and the imperial envoy's face was red and his ears were red. He smashed the gavel in his hand hard on the case, and roared: "Presumptuous! This imperial envoy is on inspection on behalf of the emperor, how can he wrong people?"
"Hehe, since the imperial envoy is bringing the emperor to inspect, it is naturally the most fair. The facts are all there and cannot be denied. Please arrest Lin Liangyu, the thief who slipped through the net, and execute him in accordance with the law to eliminate harm for the people." The eyes of the second master of the Zhen family showed Fierce, smiling triumphantly.
Gusu Futai seized the opportunity to grab the warrant and asked the government servants to catch Lin Liangyu.
Lin Liangyu's mother and son shouted, "I'm wronged!"
The onlookers were chatting.
Some sarcastic people said: "Since ancient times, the yamen has opened to the south. Don't come in if you have a reason and no money. How can a poor scholar fight against the rich and powerful Zhen's family? What about imperial envoys? It's not that the officials protect each other and speak for the rich."
Some people also sighed: "If Master Lin is still alive, there is still a fight. As the saying goes, people go to drink tea, let alone have been dead for several years. How can these officials still miss the old love?"
The yamen servant fiercely pulled Lin Mu over, cut Lin Liangyu's arms behind him, and pressed him to the ground, preparing to tie him up with ropes.
There was a clear and loud voice at the entrance of the lobby, like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, a very pleasant voice: "Stop!"
So people's eyes are all looking towards the entrance of the lobby.
A girl wearing a light pink brocade jacket, a snow satin silk pleated skirt, a light yellow cloak, and a white beaded cap on her head, supported a girl wearing a lavender silk jacket, A girl in a dark green embroidered skirt, graceful and graceful, walks like a willow in the wind.
Two guards with swords guarded her tightly, and the one who led the way was the short, weird-looking little dwarf in the lobby yesterday.
Seeing Daiyu coming, Lin Liangyu shouted anxiously: "Sister! Why are you here? Go back quickly, there is nothing to say here!"
"Brother, you misunderstood. The person sitting on it is the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court, and he will uphold justice." Daiyu's voice was sweet and soft, making people listen to it like drinking oasis.
"You are Lord Lin Ruhai's daughter-in-law Lin Daiyu?" the imperial envoy looked at Daiyu and asked gently.
Daiyu stepped forward to salute and said: "I have seen the imperial envoy, the civilian girl is the orphan of Lin Ruhai, the former censor of salt inspection in the south of the Yangtze River, and she came to testify for her cousin Lin Liangyu."
Immediately afterwards, Daiyu told Lin Liangyu's unfortunate life experience, Lin Hai's regret that her mother's life was inevitable, and the compromise method she adopted before she died. She took out a piece of yellowed paper and handed it to Ah Shan, saying: "This It is the suicide note left by my father, which can completely prove that my cousin Lin Liangyu was framed by someone."
A Shan presented the suicide note (actually, it was forged by Daiyu imitating Lin Hai's handwriting) to the imperial envoy.
At this time, the crowd of onlookers listened to Daiyu's report, they sympathized with Lin Liangyu's misfortune, but also understood Lin Ruhai's helplessness, applauded Lin Ruhai's compromise, and were even more amazed that Tanhualang had such an outstanding daughter.
At this moment, people's emotions are surging, reaching an indescribable level.
The imperial envoy slapped the gavel in his hand, and said loudly: "This imperial envoy pronounces the verdict:...the ancestral home of the Lin family belongs to Lin Liangyu, the descendant of the Lin family."
"Wait a minute, my lord! I have something to tell my lord!" The second master of the Zhen family shouted loudly.
"Well, what else do you want to say?" The imperial envoy mocked with disdain in his eyes.
The second master of the Zhen family climbed two steps forward, pointed at Daiyu and shouted: "This woman is not the orphan of Master Lin Hailin, but the daughter of the thief chief. Xiaomin has witnesses to prove it."
A woman with heavy make-up came out from the crowd, walked up to the imperial envoy, knelt down and said, "The civilian woman can prove that this woman is the daughter of the bandit leader."
The crowd was in an uproar and was shocked.
The imperial envoy was also a little puzzled, and looked at Daiyu in a daze.
Gusu Futai said without losing the opportunity: "Since you are a witness, tell me carefully, and you must not hide anything, otherwise, the national law will not allow it!"
"Yes! My lord, the women of the people dare not hide anything."
The woman scratched her head and posed, and winked at the Gusu Mansion Terrace.
With a delicate voice, she said: "My family is Ye Laixiang's mother. This woman's name is Bai Mudan. Her mother was originally my goddaughter. She was spotted by the bandit leader more than ten years ago and became Mrs. Yazhai. A few days ago In [-], because the master of the Zhen family assisted the officers and soldiers in the encirclement and suppression, the bandit leader felt that the mountain was not safe, so he sent my goddaughter and this woman back. I was thinking about the old relationship, and I also felt that my goddaughter was a weak woman and could be regarded as a victim , and took her mother and daughter in. A while ago, this woman met Lin Liangyu for some reason, and the two hooked up. Her mother was pissed off by her. The Yuelai Inn rented a house and lived with this Lin Liangyu. My lord, everything my family said is true. If you don’t believe me, all the sisters and children in my yard can testify. However, my family has a request that this woman’s mother is my mother. This woman is my goddaughter, she is still young, please let her live and give her back to me."
The Gusu Mansion Tower glanced at the imperial envoy, and said with a smile: "God has the virtue of loving life. I think this woman is still young, so I will let her live and let this woman lead her to forget it."
When the imperial envoy saw that the woman had a nose and eyes, his head became dizzy and dizzy.
The Gusu government station thought that the time had come, waved his hand, and threw the order sign instead of the imperial envoy, shouting loudly: "Bold woman, how dare you pretend to be the daughter of Lord Lin Hai, and tease the government, I think you are young and ignorant, and you have divorced your biological father long ago. The official will let you live, and go with Ye Laixiang's mother."
The woman happily got up from the ground and ran to Daiyu's side happily. She was about to stretch out her hand to touch Daiyu when she felt numb in her neck. When she looked closely, she saw a bloody female hand on the ground.
Looking at his neck again, he rolled his eyes in fright, and passed out with a thud.
It turned out that her hand was chopped off by Daiyu's guards.
The yamen lobby was filled with astonishment!Isn't this too bold?
"Bang!" The Gusu government office seized the opportunity, grabbed the gavel and knocked it hard, pointed at Daiyu and others standing under the hall, and shouted wildly: "Bold madman! How dare you despise the court like this! Catch them!"
Yamen servants on both sides tried to rush forward.
The guard beside Daiyu held a sword in one hand and a jade tablet in the other, and shouted loudly: "Who dares! I am waiting for the master's order to protect Lord Lin Hai's orphan Lin Daiyu when she comes back to visit the grave."
No one in the officialdom knows the origin of the jade badge in the guard's hand.
The imperial envoy stretched out his head in shock to look at the jade plaque in the guard's hand, and rubbed his eyes, as if he had taken a reassurance and regained his vitality.
Since the emperor chose him as an imperial envoy, of course he is not an ordinary person, he is the elder brother of Concubine Hui, and the nephew of the loyal prince.The ability to handle errands is not very good, but the officialdom is extremely familiar.Of course, he knew that the jade card in the guard's hand was only owned by the emperor's most trusted hidden guard, and he would not reveal it until the critical moment.
He saw clearly the jade plaque in the guard's hand, and he knew in his heart that the graceful woman in front of him was Lin Daiyu, whom the emperor specially asked him to take care of before leaving Beijing.
The Zhen family got the news just after half of the sentence was executed.
Master Zhen Er hurried over with his servant, carrying a bag full of silver.
Seeing the imperial envoy Natou, he bowed and begged: "Please spare your life! The silver is brought, and you can be fined as much as you want. I just want to save my nephew Baoyu's life."
He wholeheartedly wanted to save his nephew, but seeing the imperial envoy twirling his beard, he remained silent.He hurriedly showed Wang Ziteng's card, and whispered: "My nephew, Zhen Baoyu, has just been engaged to Mrs. Wang Ziteng's daughter, and plans to get married this winter."
Seeing the commotion over there, Ah Shan knew that the matter had come to an end, fearing that Daiyu would be worried at the inn, he asked Xueyan to report back early.
Xueyan chirped, quacked and gesticulated, repeating the story.
After hearing this, Zijuan said happily: "Amitabha! Thanks to the imperial envoy, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
Here the master and servant were happy, but the Zhen family was crying loudly, as if eight people had died.
When Mrs. Zhen saw Zhen Baoyu, who was dripping with blood and unconscious, she passed out immediately.
Master Zhen Er saw his youngest son's life hanging by a thread, even though he usually annoyed him that he didn't like to study and make progress, at this moment, he felt very distressed and couldn't bear it.
Seeing that the old lady felt sorry for her grandson and passed out, she was even more sad, and she called for a doctor quickly.
The family led the doctor, and the servant flew over with the medicine box.
"Second master, the old lady is in a hurry, and the old man will wake up immediately after giving her an injection. It's just that the young master's injury is serious, and it has touched his heart and spleen. Apart from needing a long period of time to heal, he also needs to be carefully recuperated." The doctor's face turned pale. Said solemnly.
"This, damn it!" Master Zhen Er was full of anger and anxiety.Blunting curses, I don't know who is scolding.It turned out that the young master of the Zhen family was under the full mediation of the Gusu government, and the imperial envoy was guaranteed to come out for treatment, and the time was only given for three days.
In other words, after three days, Zhen Baoyu would have to go to prison to serve his sentence.
The old lady Zhen woke up leisurely, put her arms around Young Master Zhen and cried loudly: "Who the hell beat you up like this?"
Crying and crying, staring at the tearful old eyes, he yelled at Master Zhen Er: "If you don't send someone to investigate, catch the person who beat my grandson, I will scrape them piecemeal!"
"Mother!" Master Zhen Er called out, bent down and covered the old lady's mouth, and said in a low voice, "It was the imperial envoy sent by the capital who ordered him to beat her."
"How could this be? How is this possible?" Mrs. Zhen is also a shrewd person and knows the seriousness of the matter.
She cried out heartily, not daring to speak harsh words anymore, but told Second Young Master Zhen to send a letter to First Young Master Zhen in Jinling.
Zhen Baoyu smeared the ointment, fed the decoction, apart from crying and screaming, his mind is still clear, and it seems that there is no danger of life.
The old lady began to feel relieved, and asked Master Zhen Er why, she was silent for a while, and said: "Anyway, one of us died, and the Gusu Mansion is taking care of us, even imperial envoys shouldn't do this." There must be something inside that we don't know about beating people like this without showing respect."
"Mother, is this the master of the Lin family?" The second master Zhen suddenly remembered something, looked at the bewildered eyes of the old lady Zhen, and quickly explained: "Yesterday, my son, I received a letter from Mrs. Jia's mansion in the capital, saying Lin Hai's daughter, Lin Daiyu, came back to visit the grave. Mrs. Wang hinted in the letter that Lin Daiyu wanted to restore the Lin family's property in Gusu. Today in the lobby of the yamen, the girl saw that the girl looked pretty and didn't dress like ordinary girls from a small family. Maybe she was Lin Daiyu .”
"How could it be?" Mrs. Zhen shook her head in denial. Seeing that her second son was puzzled, she analyzed: "The girl of the Lin family is also the daughter of the Hou family. Why would the Jia family let her come back alone? How come she doesn't have many people around her?"
"Mother, Mrs. Jia's wife said in the letter that the girl from the Lin family left Jia's house and lived alone. The letter also said that the girl from the Lin family may have a relationship with the emperor. If the girl from the Lin family enters the palace, she will treat Concubine Jia very Unfavorable. The boy thought, when the Lin family girl sees the Lin family wild boy, she will definitely find a way to take back the old Lin family house. Maybe this matter today has something to do with the Lin family girl, and this matter should not be taken lightly."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhen was extremely cautious, rolled her eyes and asked, "What do you think should be done?"
"Boy, I let the Lin family's wild boy go by mistake at the beginning. Now, according to my idea, I just don't do anything, and end the Lin family's girl and the Lin family's wild boy together, so that there will be no future troubles." The second master Zhen's eyes were fierce, vicious say.
"I don't care about this matter, I just want you to avenge my grandson quickly, and don't get yourself burned." After the old lady Zhen finished speaking, she thought for a moment, and then said: "You'd better not be rash, talk to your elder brother first, and go to the prince. Let's get to the bottom of it. If the girl of the Lin family is really as the second wife of Jia's family said, this matter should be kept a little more secret."
I am afraid that the older a person is, the more experienced he is, the less courageous he will be.
At this moment, what Mrs. Zhen thinks most about is not her beloved grandson being beaten, but the reason why the imperial envoy personally supervised the beating of her grandson. She hasn't figured out the inside story of the matter, so she can't act rashly.She asked her second son to keep things secret because she considered that what happened today was very strange.
The Zhen family has been rich and powerful for hundreds of years, so they can't capsize in the gutter, because the loss outweighs the gains for a declining Lin family.
Master Zhen Er saw that the old lady was lost in thought, thinking that she was thinking about revenge.
Comforting: "Mother, it turned out that the girl of the Lin family and that wild boy are not a piece of cake, they are easy to catch."
Suddenly seeing old lady Zhen's eyes light up, she hurriedly added: "Mother, my son knows that this matter is different from the past, and will carefully and covertly send someone to investigate first, and then when it is settled..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
The "Shiyuan" of Yuelai Inn is full of guests today.
Ashan was afraid that Lin Liangyu's mother and son would be retaliated by the Zhen family, so he invited his mother and son to live in the front yard of "Shiyuan" on his own initiative, and was about to report to Daiyu.The guards came to report that a lady who claimed to be the housekeeper of the Zhen family had come outside the door, and she brought a generous gift and said that she was here to visit the girl.
Ah Shan narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and widened his big round eyes. The eyeballs shone with green light. He turned around a few times and said with a sly smile, "Well, let her come in. I'll take her to see the girl." .”
When Daiyu heard that she was the housekeeper of the Zhen family, she couldn't help feeling annoyed that the Zhen family had robbed her ancestral house, accused her cousin of being wronged and imprisoned, and suffered all kinds of torture.
Thinking about this debt, they have not settled with them yet, but they came to the door first.
Know yourself and yourself, you can win a hundred battles, see what she has to say?
The housekeeper of the Zhen family is about forty years old, with a pointed face, monkey eyes, thin lips, and a figure like a bamboo pole.He followed Ah Shan in with a flattering smile, and when he saw Daiyu, he stared at Yuan's monkey eyes in astonishment, staring straight at Daiyu as if they had been nailed to death.
Daiyu asked unhappily: "I have never met your master, why is that so?"
The lady in charge of the housekeeper asked the wrong question: "There is such a girl with such a symbol in the world!"
Ah Shan stepped forward, waved his five fingers in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Hey! My girl is asking you something, just say what you know?"
"My young master Sun was seriously injured. The old lady and the second master suspected that there was something hidden in it. It happened that the Jia family sent a letter saying that Miss Lin came back to visit the grave, implying that Miss Lin wanted to take back the Lin family's property. My master sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that Mr. Sun The beating is related to the Lin family. The old lady and the second master are convinced that Miss Lin may have come back for another purpose besides sweeping the tomb." The housekeeper of the Zhen family, who was under the control of Ah Shan's Dafa, gathered what she knew poured out.
Daiyu sneered and asked, "Did you come here just to know my purpose?"
The housekeeper shook her head and replied: "The house where our Zhen family lives in Gusu is the old house of Mr. Lin Hai. It was obtained by my master's plan to put Mr. Lin Hai's nephew into prison. Miss Lin just came back this time. You don't show affection, you hurt my young master Sun, and you will be put in prison three days later. This matter must have something to do with Miss Lin. The old lady said that the person who untied the bell had to tie the bell, and wanted to take Miss Lin to her home. Our young master Sun just met with Mr. Wang Ziteng My youngest daughter made an engagement and asked Miss Lin to be our Young Master Sun's housekeeper. The old slave thought, with Miss Lin's appearance, it is possible to be promoted to be an aunt in the future. In this way, our Zhen family will gain a good reputation for taking in orphans , secondly, the government will not be able to pursue anything further.”
When Daiyu heard this, her face was livid with anger, her whole body was trembling, annoyed and ashamed, she pointed at the housekeeper with her slender hands, and said angrily, "You!"
Ah Shan smiled at Daiyu: "Miss, don't be angry because of a villain, it's not worth it. This woman should be telling the truth, how will you deal with it?"
Daiyu said bitterly: "Shoot her out quickly! I must go back to the ancestral house of the Lin family!"
The next day, as soon as the imperial envoy opened his eyes, he saw a petition beside the pillow.
He took out the complaint with suspicion and fear, only to see that the words of the complaint were bloody and tearful, and every sentence was wronged.
The imperial envoy couldn't help shaking, not because he was deeply moved by the complaint, but because he was frightened by the inexplicable complaint next to his pillow.
He thought to himself, if the person who filed the petition wanted his life, it would be as easy as finding something in his pocket.
A hero does not suffer immediate losses, his own life is the most important thing.
Don't say that the allegations in this complaint are true in all likelihood, and even if they are not true, he will judge according to the truth.
The Lin family has been in great decline, but the person suing the Lin family is the Jinling Zhen family, which is a well-known and wealthy family.
The imperial envoy remembered that when he left Beijing, the emperor asked him to go and personally explained that he wanted to pay attention to Lin Daiyu, the daughter of Lin Hai who went back to the south to sweep the grave.
From the tone of the emperor's eyes, one can really feel the emperor's concern for Miss Na Lin.
This complaint was placed next to his pillow without anyone noticing it.
The person who sent the complaint was not an ordinary person, maybe he was the emperor's secret guard. Besides, who else has such ability?
He thought, if this matter is done well, not only can he have a good reputation in the local area, but more importantly, he can please the emperor.He seemed to have seen a bright future like flowers and brocades, and he couldn't hold back his excitement any longer. He immediately put on his official robe and hat, and he didn't even care about breakfast, so he was about to be promoted to court for a case.
Last night, the Zhen family quietly went to the Gusu Mansion Terrace, and they only returned after most of the night after being frightened and coaxed.
I didn't close my eyes all night, sorting out all the things I have done since I took office in Gusu, and felt that the old lady of the Zhen family didn't take herself too seriously last night. Master, it's almost like scolding your own servants.
The young master of the Zhen family is really a pighead, he regards the yamen hall as his own hall, and in front of the imperial envoy, he bluntly admits that he led his servants to bully men and women, and everything has been signed in black and white.Even if I want to break the law again and protect him, what can I do then?
This may be due to fate, this young master of the Zhen family, and possibly the entire Zhen family, this time was considered to have been hit by an imperial envoy's gun.It's possible that if one trigger affects the whole body, the entire Zhen family will be ruined.
It might not be so easy to protect the young master of the Zhen family from going to jail.
The Zhen family has been used to the prestige in the south of the Yangtze River these years, and they really think that even the emperor and I can't control their family.
Last night, the old lady of the Zhen family and the second master Zhen not only asked themselves to keep Young Master Zhen, but also helped them call back Lin Daiyu's idea of sweeping the grave.
The more Gusu Futai thought about it, the more angry he became, but there was nothing he could do.
Eat the soft mouth of others, take the softness of others.
I have eaten and taken a lot from the Zhen family over the years, and I have long been tied to a rope with them.
If he didn't help the Zhen family, if something happened to the Zhen family, he would not be able to get away with it.
well!What a dilemma.
A slippery pink arm stretched out, followed by a soft body, like an octopus surrounded him.
He suddenly felt that there was a big net and wanted to cover himself.
A carp straightened up, turned over and sat up, and took a closer look. It was his favorite little concubine who was sleepy and asked with an ambiguous smile, "Did you think of another trick?"
"What nonsense! I'm full of thoughts, don't bother me." He pushed away the concubine's soft body in disgust, pulled the quilt impatiently, surrounded half of his body, and thought silently.
The concubine curled her lips ignorantly, with tears in her eyes, she reached out to wipe her eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Gusu Futai couldn't bear to see her sad, grabbed the concubine's hand, stared at the huge and shiny ring on her finger, and asked loudly like a thief, "Where did this come from?" !"
The concubine pulled back her hand vigorously, rolled her eyes and said in displeasure: "Yesterday afternoon, the old lady of the Zhen family sent someone to give it to me, saying that this ring was made of fine steel diamonds, and it came from the country of Oldman. It takes tens of millions of miles to get here, and this is a good thing that money can't buy."
As the concubine said, she held the ring up to her eyes and admired it seriously again.
As if bitten by a scorpion, Gusu Futai grinned and said, "Go back!"
The concubine glanced at him, and said with a faint smile: "Return all the good things sent by the Zhen family? I think that some of them can be returned, and some of them may not be returned."
Yes, the concubine was right.Some are irreversible.For example, how could this charming little concubine by her side return to Zhao?
I had no choice but to go all the way to the dark.
I hope that the Zhen family's fortune will be strong, with hands and eyes open to the sky, and deeply rooted, so that no one can shake it.
"Master! The Imperial Envoy has woken up and is going to handle the case now." The young man outside the door announced the imperial envoy's movements through the crack of the door.
"So early, what case are you dealing with?" Gusu Futai was puzzled that he had misheard, got out of bed in his clothes, opened the door and asked carefully: "What did you say?"
After the little servant repeated it, Gusu Futai was very upset, went back to the room, picked up the gown and put it on his legs, but he couldn't put it on, and was so anxious that he was sweating.
In a blink of an eye, I saw my concubine sitting on the bed, looking at him and smiling.
He couldn't help saying angrily: "Get up quickly, death is imminent!"
The concubine blinked her big eyes, pouted her small mouth, and said in a coquettish voice, "When is this? What case is being tried? Damn it!"
Seeing the big beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, he felt that what he said was not a joke, so he hurriedly got up and helped him to dress and put on his hat.
"Don't dawdle, hurry up and go to Zhen's house in person, and tell the old lady that imperial envoys are hard to deal with, and it's the right way to make preparations earlier." When he was about to leave, he glanced at the concubine, as if he had a lot to say Said, finally shook his head, smiled wryly, shut his mouth and strode away.
When he just stepped through the door, the imperial envoy raised his head and said, "I was about to send someone to look for you. Look at this complaint. You should know something about it, right?"
He took the complaint and took a look at it.
He helped the Zhen family to do this matter, and of course he had a clear account in his heart.
His heart rose to his throat, what the current emperor hates the most is corruption and perverting the law, now it seems that something is wrong, it is very likely that stealing chickens will not make money.It's really worthless to get the benefits of the Zhen family, maybe even my own money will be taken away, or if I don't do it well, my house will be ransacked, and the whole family will be implicated.
His hands trembling while holding the complaint, his face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "This matter was handled by the lower official. At that time, the lower official had just arrived in Gusu and encountered such a case. At that time, the lower official also felt that there seemed to be something hidden in it." , but the witnesses have all the evidence, so the lower officials have no choice but to follow the law and release Lin Liangyu as an accomplice. My lord is going to reopen the trial now, and the lower officials also want to find out the ins and outs of the case."
The imperial envoy sneered, and said: "From the point of view of this imperial envoy, the context of this case is not complicated. The key is the source of the money that Lin Liangyu bought back to the Lin family's ancestral house, and everything will be revealed."
Cold sweat broke out on the stage of the Gusu Mansion, he nodded and bowed his head and said: "Yes, what the imperial envoy said is very true. At that time, the lower official only thought that Lin Hai only left a weak girl, she was still young, and she went to Jia's mansion in the capital, so it is not good to say it again. Go and disturb Miss Lin. The Jia family and the Zhen family in Jinling are old relatives and have a very close relationship. I think the Zhen family will not wrong Lin Liangyu because of the face of the Jia family. The evidence at hand is also very complete, so that's it The case is closed. This is because the officials were confused for a while, and they failed to go to Jia's mansion in the capital to collect evidence."
"Well, my imperial envoy is very lucky. When I received this complaint, I learned that Master Lin Hai's orphan has returned to Gusu to visit the grave, and is now in Gusu City." The imperial envoy said, his eyes brightened, full of confidence, and he looked determined. Winning demeanor.
The Gusu government office was very puzzled, and couldn't figure out why the imperial envoy paid so much attention to a poor Lin Liangyu. Could it be that he wanted to get back the ancestral house for the dead ghost Lin Hai?
Here is the imperial court envoy, behind is the emperor who holds the power of life and death, and on the other side is a rich and powerful family, a local bully.
I'm just a fifth-rank official, and it's not good to offend anyone.
This imperial envoy is really vigorous and resolute in his work, saying that the wind is like the rain.
I saw that he acted arbitrarily, issued lottery papers, sent yamen servants, and went to Zhen's house and Yuelai Inn separately.
Then, he sat in the lobby and ate breakfast while waiting for his promotion to handle the case.
People were very surprised when they saw the yamen servant escorting the second master of the Zhen family, and they all followed to see what happened.
In the lobby of the Gusu government office, more and more people gathered, and soon they were surrounded by a sea of people.
The imperial envoy knew in his heart that the emperor had always attached great importance to Jiangnan, and there were as many spies as a cow's hair.For my actions in Gusu, maybe I didn't report the dragon case, but the secret agent's report arrived long ago.
He looked at the situation with full confidence, planning to bring down the Zhen family in a while, and let the common people see how he would give Lin Liangyu justice.
The more I thought about it, the happier I felt, as if I saw a Wanmin Umbrella swaying in front of my eyes.
"Report! The Zhen family brought it!" The yamen servant reported loudly, waking up the imperial envoy from his fantasy. He rubbed his eyes, looked at the second master of the Zhen family standing below, and sighed secretly: "Damn, it's really well maintained !"
"Report! The Lin family brought it!" He heard the sound and glanced at Lin Liangyu, only to see that this frail scholar had a slender figure and delicate features, but his complexion was sallow and emaciated, and he was obviously undernourished.
The imperial envoy began to try the case confidently.
In the crowd watching, the second master of the Zhen family spoke eloquently and answered ten questions, with a sarcastic smile in his eyes from time to time.
Lin Liangyu's words are not many but to the point, and every sentence falls on the point, which makes people have to be convinced.
In the end, the second master of the Zhen family lifted his stubby arms upwards, and six or seven men and women of different fat and thin, and ages rushed over beside him, holding various physical evidence proving that Lin Liangyu was a thief.
The second master of the Zhen family faced the imperial envoy in the court, and said in a clear voice: "Lin Liangyu is a mediocre man, how could there be a huge sum of money to buy the ancestral house of the Lin family? If it is said to be a gift from Lin Hai, why didn't Lin Hai directly give the ancestral house to him when he was alive? Why bother? The complaint said that the Zhen family conspired to seize the ancestral home of the Lin family and framed him as a thief. Is there any witness or physical evidence? He has nothing."
Speaking of joy, the second master of the Zhen family pointed at the witnesses of the six or seven witnesses and the physical evidence in their hands, and laughed triumphantly: "Look! These are all the evidence of my Zhen family, and these are enough to prove that my Zhen family Act openly and aboveboard, not afraid of villains waiting for opportunities to retaliate."
As he spoke, he waved his hand to the people next to him. The six or seven people didn't wait for the imperial envoy to speak, let alone ask the government servant to do anything. They went straight to the imperial envoy, and put the so-called evidence in their hands in front of him.
"This..." The Imperial Envoy only had a petition in his hand, without evidence.
Facing Master Zhen's eloquence and numerous witnesses, although he was annoyed that Master Zhen's family was too presumptuous, he didn't know how to refute him, and he was a little overwhelmed. "Crack!" There was a loud noise, and the imperial envoy's face was red and his ears were red. He smashed the gavel in his hand hard on the case, and roared: "Presumptuous! This imperial envoy is on inspection on behalf of the emperor, how can he wrong people?"
"Hehe, since the imperial envoy is bringing the emperor to inspect, it is naturally the most fair. The facts are all there and cannot be denied. Please arrest Lin Liangyu, the thief who slipped through the net, and execute him in accordance with the law to eliminate harm for the people." The eyes of the second master of the Zhen family showed Fierce, smiling triumphantly.
Gusu Futai seized the opportunity to grab the warrant and asked the government servants to catch Lin Liangyu.
Lin Liangyu's mother and son shouted, "I'm wronged!"
The onlookers were chatting.
Some sarcastic people said: "Since ancient times, the yamen has opened to the south. Don't come in if you have a reason and no money. How can a poor scholar fight against the rich and powerful Zhen's family? What about imperial envoys? It's not that the officials protect each other and speak for the rich."
Some people also sighed: "If Master Lin is still alive, there is still a fight. As the saying goes, people go to drink tea, let alone have been dead for several years. How can these officials still miss the old love?"
The yamen servant fiercely pulled Lin Mu over, cut Lin Liangyu's arms behind him, and pressed him to the ground, preparing to tie him up with ropes.
There was a clear and loud voice at the entrance of the lobby, like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, a very pleasant voice: "Stop!"
So people's eyes are all looking towards the entrance of the lobby.
A girl wearing a light pink brocade jacket, a snow satin silk pleated skirt, a light yellow cloak, and a white beaded cap on her head, supported a girl wearing a lavender silk jacket, A girl in a dark green embroidered skirt, graceful and graceful, walks like a willow in the wind.
Two guards with swords guarded her tightly, and the one who led the way was the short, weird-looking little dwarf in the lobby yesterday.
Seeing Daiyu coming, Lin Liangyu shouted anxiously: "Sister! Why are you here? Go back quickly, there is nothing to say here!"
"Brother, you misunderstood. The person sitting on it is the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court, and he will uphold justice." Daiyu's voice was sweet and soft, making people listen to it like drinking oasis.
"You are Lord Lin Ruhai's daughter-in-law Lin Daiyu?" the imperial envoy looked at Daiyu and asked gently.
Daiyu stepped forward to salute and said: "I have seen the imperial envoy, the civilian girl is the orphan of Lin Ruhai, the former censor of salt inspection in the south of the Yangtze River, and she came to testify for her cousin Lin Liangyu."
Immediately afterwards, Daiyu told Lin Liangyu's unfortunate life experience, Lin Hai's regret that her mother's life was inevitable, and the compromise method she adopted before she died. She took out a piece of yellowed paper and handed it to Ah Shan, saying: "This It is the suicide note left by my father, which can completely prove that my cousin Lin Liangyu was framed by someone."
A Shan presented the suicide note (actually, it was forged by Daiyu imitating Lin Hai's handwriting) to the imperial envoy.
At this time, the crowd of onlookers listened to Daiyu's report, they sympathized with Lin Liangyu's misfortune, but also understood Lin Ruhai's helplessness, applauded Lin Ruhai's compromise, and were even more amazed that Tanhualang had such an outstanding daughter.
At this moment, people's emotions are surging, reaching an indescribable level.
The imperial envoy slapped the gavel in his hand, and said loudly: "This imperial envoy pronounces the verdict:...the ancestral home of the Lin family belongs to Lin Liangyu, the descendant of the Lin family."
"Wait a minute, my lord! I have something to tell my lord!" The second master of the Zhen family shouted loudly.
"Well, what else do you want to say?" The imperial envoy mocked with disdain in his eyes.
The second master of the Zhen family climbed two steps forward, pointed at Daiyu and shouted: "This woman is not the orphan of Master Lin Hailin, but the daughter of the thief chief. Xiaomin has witnesses to prove it."
A woman with heavy make-up came out from the crowd, walked up to the imperial envoy, knelt down and said, "The civilian woman can prove that this woman is the daughter of the bandit leader."
The crowd was in an uproar and was shocked.
The imperial envoy was also a little puzzled, and looked at Daiyu in a daze.
Gusu Futai said without losing the opportunity: "Since you are a witness, tell me carefully, and you must not hide anything, otherwise, the national law will not allow it!"
"Yes! My lord, the women of the people dare not hide anything."
The woman scratched her head and posed, and winked at the Gusu Mansion Terrace.
With a delicate voice, she said: "My family is Ye Laixiang's mother. This woman's name is Bai Mudan. Her mother was originally my goddaughter. She was spotted by the bandit leader more than ten years ago and became Mrs. Yazhai. A few days ago In [-], because the master of the Zhen family assisted the officers and soldiers in the encirclement and suppression, the bandit leader felt that the mountain was not safe, so he sent my goddaughter and this woman back. I was thinking about the old relationship, and I also felt that my goddaughter was a weak woman and could be regarded as a victim , and took her mother and daughter in. A while ago, this woman met Lin Liangyu for some reason, and the two hooked up. Her mother was pissed off by her. The Yuelai Inn rented a house and lived with this Lin Liangyu. My lord, everything my family said is true. If you don’t believe me, all the sisters and children in my yard can testify. However, my family has a request that this woman’s mother is my mother. This woman is my goddaughter, she is still young, please let her live and give her back to me."
The Gusu Mansion Tower glanced at the imperial envoy, and said with a smile: "God has the virtue of loving life. I think this woman is still young, so I will let her live and let this woman lead her to forget it."
When the imperial envoy saw that the woman had a nose and eyes, his head became dizzy and dizzy.
The Gusu government station thought that the time had come, waved his hand, and threw the order sign instead of the imperial envoy, shouting loudly: "Bold woman, how dare you pretend to be the daughter of Lord Lin Hai, and tease the government, I think you are young and ignorant, and you have divorced your biological father long ago. The official will let you live, and go with Ye Laixiang's mother."
The woman happily got up from the ground and ran to Daiyu's side happily. She was about to stretch out her hand to touch Daiyu when she felt numb in her neck. When she looked closely, she saw a bloody female hand on the ground.
Looking at his neck again, he rolled his eyes in fright, and passed out with a thud.
It turned out that her hand was chopped off by Daiyu's guards.
The yamen lobby was filled with astonishment!Isn't this too bold?
"Bang!" The Gusu government office seized the opportunity, grabbed the gavel and knocked it hard, pointed at Daiyu and others standing under the hall, and shouted wildly: "Bold madman! How dare you despise the court like this! Catch them!"
Yamen servants on both sides tried to rush forward.
The guard beside Daiyu held a sword in one hand and a jade tablet in the other, and shouted loudly: "Who dares! I am waiting for the master's order to protect Lord Lin Hai's orphan Lin Daiyu when she comes back to visit the grave."
No one in the officialdom knows the origin of the jade badge in the guard's hand.
The imperial envoy stretched out his head in shock to look at the jade plaque in the guard's hand, and rubbed his eyes, as if he had taken a reassurance and regained his vitality.
Since the emperor chose him as an imperial envoy, of course he is not an ordinary person, he is the elder brother of Concubine Hui, and the nephew of the loyal prince.The ability to handle errands is not very good, but the officialdom is extremely familiar.Of course, he knew that the jade card in the guard's hand was only owned by the emperor's most trusted hidden guard, and he would not reveal it until the critical moment.
He saw clearly the jade plaque in the guard's hand, and he knew in his heart that the graceful woman in front of him was Lin Daiyu, whom the emperor specially asked him to take care of before leaving Beijing.
