Wan Youhui, who was drunk, seemed to have remembered something, pouted his lips, and smiled obscenely.

"Lin Ruolan is a great beauty! The lady of the Hou Mansion is my noble cousin. Everyone praises her for her good looks, but let me tell you, she is far worse than Lin Ruolan. Of course, she is Miss Hou Fu is a noble lady, Lin Ruolan can't compare to her."

"Hearing what you said, Lin Ruolan is actually a stunning woman? What is her birth?"

"Her, before her family fell down, she was a young lady from a rich family. Their Lin family was a big local landowner with a lot of land. There was a rice store in the county town, and the money would last for a few lifetimes. Then their family fell into ruin. Not only did she lose her family wealth, but her parents and elder brother died, and the only remaining house was taken by the clan. Seeing that she was born well, she was sold to Hualou at a high price and became the lady of Huakui in the building. Tsk, I and You said, on the day she officially received the guests, many rich and noble men from the capital city came, and they couldn't even enter the door at night, 500 taels of silver a night on the first night. 500 taels! Not everyone has this price."

"Then your cousin and her..."

"The two of them are old friends!" Wan Youhui smiled ambiguously, drank another glass of wine, and said enviously and jealously: "My cousin can read, his parents are young, twelve or thirteen years old Since then, he has lived and ate at my house. Our family is a farmer, and we planed food in the soil. At that time, it took a long time for the family to have a meal of meat, but my parents were still willing to let him study. Why do you think it is? Is it because he is expecting him Can you benefit from getting a name in the exam?

My mother is fussy, but there is no shortage of food for my cousin, but it costs money to study, and my own son doesn't even pay for it.When my aunt died, she entrusted my cousin to our family. At that time, it was agreed that my cousin would marry my sister, and we would kiss each other.But my cousin has high eyesight and doesn't like my sister, but hooked up with Miss Lin's family instead.If Lin Ruolan hadn't given him money, how could he have the guts to move away from my house?My mother was willing to let it go because she got 50 taels of silver.Where did my cousin get the money, of course Lin Ruolan gave it to him.

In the year when my cousin was admitted as a scholar, there were rumors that the Lin family agreed to marry their daughter to him, but in the blink of an eye, something happened to the Lin family.Such a big family lost so quickly, such a delicate beauty like Lin Ruolan has become the sister of the building.

At that time, our family didn't have much contact with my cousin, but I heard that the two of them still had contact. I reckoned that my cousin was still being raised by Lin Ruolan.If you want to spend the night with Lin Ruolan, it is said that you will get ten taels of silver, and she is the most expensive oiran lady in Tianshui County.My cousin knows how to study. If he had no one to support him, he would have starved to death, let alone going to Beijing for the exam. "

Wan Youhui's voice became weaker as he spoke, although he was still muttering, his head was already on the table and his eyes were closed.

He Chuan hurriedly moved to his side and pushed him away: "Brother Wan, what about Lin Ruolan? Are you still in Tianshui County?"

Wan Youhui frowned impatiently: "Dead! Burned to death."

Before He Chuan could ask again, the other party was already snoring.

The news he heard tonight was already very valuable. Seeing it, He Chuan no longer insisted, and called the girl from just now to entertain him nicely, and after a few more instructions, he left the money and left.

After hearing the news from He Chuan, Chen Shiliu was very tired of Luo Jian, and felt that such a ruthless man would not be wronged if he died.It just so happened that Wei Yangyu invited him to a small get-together, just to relax, so he agreed.

Wei Yangyu's banquet was in a private garden, and there were several other people at the banquet, all of whom knew each other well.

Now that there is no scenery in this season, they prepared songs and dances, and a few people exchanged glasses for a drink, and asked Chen Shiliu to talk about the case of the beautiful girl in blue skirt in Guanglin Mansion.These few people were interested in this case. First, it involved the local magistrate, and it also triggered a battle between the court and China. storytelling.

Chen Shiliu was not able to participate in this case, but he was very clear about the details.

While they were talking here, someone came outside and whispered something to Wei Yangyu.

Wei Yangyu waved the people back, smiled and said to the few people in the room: "The news just came out that the Shoushanhou Mansion was impeached in the early court."

"Shoushanhou's Mansion?" The young master of Zhang Hanlin's family sipped his wine and said indifferently: "The Shoushanhou's mansion has no title but no real power. Who will impeach their family? Does it mean that Tian Yuanshao bought a foreign house? Or is it that the back house is not rather?"

Yushi is affiliated to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, responsible for supervising and impeaching officials, and abolishing the court.The rank of the censor is not high, but the power is great. All forces want to infiltrate and use the censor as a sword in their hands.Generally speaking, the imperial censor impeaches trivial things every day, such as whose children are galloping in the market, who is not strict with the family, who is disheveled and out of style, and so on.

The censor of this dynasty is still highly valued, and the censor has to report every day, and it is impossible to have a big event every day.For such trivial matters, the emperor may reprimand them a few words, severely fine them or issue reprimands, which will damage the face of the officials, which means a small punishment.

If it's just that, there's no need for Wei Yangyu to specifically mention it.

Wei Yangyu laughed loudly: "It's not that simple, this time it's a big deal! Let me tell you, someone anonymously sent a report letter to Wen Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, saying that the Shoushan Hou Mansion forcibly occupied the people's farmland, because the other party refused Transferred, designed to frame the son of that family for murder, and instructed the local government to extort good land from that family. Unexpectedly, the son of that family was weak and his bones were hard. He had an argument with the jailer, was beaten, and finally died of illness in prison. The parents refused to give up and took all the family property to sue, but they sent one, who was beaten and bruised and thrown at the door of the house. Their family refused to accept their fate and went to sue in person, and the same happened. Passed away with regret in a few days."

"This is three lives! Forcing fertile land, this is what the emperor hates the most." After hearing this, several people understood that if the evidence for this matter was convincing, the Shoushanhou Mansion would definitely be in trouble.

Someone questioned: "The Shoushan Hou Mansion will not be stupid to directly take Liangtian under its name?"

Similar things are not uncommon in rich and powerful families. Most of the fertile fields in the world fall into the hands of powerful and powerful people.But the noble family raised slaves, and the fertile land from such sources was directly placed under the name of the servants, and the servants took care of them. If something happened, they directly took the servants to work, and at most they committed the crime of lax family management and negligence.

However, the bond of slavery is in the hands of the master, and everything owned by the slave belongs to the master's family.

Naturally, when buying fertile land, the rich and powerful would never show up in person, and even domestic servants would not show up, usually there would be a middleman.This is also to increase safety and provide multiple excuses for future accidents.

Wei Yangyu said: "It's worse than that, it was Tian Yuanshao who stepped forward!"

"What? It's just to buy a field, so it's worth it for the young master to go in person?" Several people were shocked and amazed, but also thought it was ridiculous.

"It is estimated that he took the opportunity to go out of Beijing to play and pick up an errand. He thought that the reputation of the Hou Mansion would be all-pervasive, but he kicked it hard." Wei Yangyu shrugged: "It seems to be 15 years ago, a long time ago."

Chen Shiliu calculated: "15 years ago, Tian Yuanshao was 15 this year, and he was only [-] years old at that time."

The main reason is that what Wei Yangyu said just now seemed familiar.

Standing behind him, He Chuan saw him frowning and thinking, and said in a low voice, "Young master, what happened to the Lin family is very similar."

Wan Youhui only said that the Lin family was in decline, and the defeat was very fast. He also said that the parents and elder brothers of the Lin family were all dead, but didn't say anything specific.But they had just inquired about this matter, and they were deeply impressed. Today, they heard that Tian Yuanshao was involved again, so they paid special attention to it.

Chen Shiliu immediately asked Wei Yangyu: "Xiao Saner, where is that family from?"

"How did I know that? Who asked so detailedly." Wei Yangyu shook his head, but smiled in an instant: "I haven't finished what I just said, and there are more interesting ones. Although the anonymous letter was not signed, it was written in a good cursive script." , when it was presented to the emperor for reading, and then circulated to all the officials, some people said that the handwriting was familiar."

"Oh? Tell me who it is!" It was as if the story had reached its climax, which was exciting.

"Rojian!"

"The son-in-law of the Shoushan Hou Mansion?"

"That temperless Luo Dianji in the Imperial Academy?"

Chen Shiliu grinned. He was sure that this was not normal. That unlucky Luo Jian would report his Yue family?Although the handwriting of the letter is suspected to be written by Luo Jian, the handwriting can be faked.It's just that they didn't expect that the catastrophe of the Lin family came from the Shoushanhou Mansion. Not only did Lin Ruolan really make a mistake, but she even married the daughter of the Hou Mansion.

On the same day, Chen Shiliu ran to find Mu Qingyan and told him about it.

"There is such an inside story?" Mu Qingyan was also very surprised. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yaoqin is also from Tianshui County, check her. I began to suspect that Yaoqin might be Granny Tan's collaborator."

"No way?!"

"Let me do it, write to Yan Lang, Qunfanglou, who bought Yaoqin, may know the details."

Chen Shiliu suddenly laughed: "The Shoushanhou Mansion must be very lively now."

Even people with discerning eyes know that someone used Luo Jian to submit an anonymous letter, but Luo Jian's status is embarrassing, and he is from Tianshui County. Those who dislike Tian Xiufang's mother and daughter in the Hou's mansion must stir the flames.The old Hou Ye dotes on that side wife, but how can he compare with the Hou Mansion?What's more, if his most valued eldest son is involved, if the crime is really carried out, not only Tian Yuanshao's canonization will be problematic, but the entire Hou Mansion may suffer disaster.

Just gloating, He Chuan hurried in.

"Master, according to those who were following you just now, Granny Tan is gone."

Chen Shiliu stood up suddenly: "Missing? What does it mean to be missing? Didn't I get people to stare at me?"

"It's to watch, but we all stare at the daytime, and it ends as soon as the time of Xu is over. It's the place where Tian Yuanshao raised his house. He usually guards the door and closes it when it gets dark. No one comes out, and we didn't find out. It was still today when I chatted with the servants of that house, and accidentally mentioned it, only to learn that Grandma Tan disappeared two days ago. It is said that I met the night before, but I didn’t see anyone the next day. Yaoqin called her servant Tan My mother-in-law has gone to visit relatives."

"So, Yaoqin is aware of this matter, and may even cover it up."

Chen Shiliu wondered: "Where will Granny Tan go? Why did she leave quietly? Did she find us?"

Mu Qingyan shook his head and reminded him with a smile: "Didn't you come to me to tell me about the impeachment of the Shoushan Hou Mansion? What if it has something to do with her? Then it's understandable that she left early. She is the key witness , there must be some evidence in her hand, so she can't show up easily, she has to protect herself, and give the enemy a fatal blow at the critical moment."

At the end, he couldn't help laughing and said: "She is very smart, I really underestimated her before."
