Tian Yuanshao has been in a lot of trouble recently, and finally got some free time. He was dozing off, and when he heard that Luo Jian was coming, he felt impatient and didn't want to see him.

His mother and Mrs. Side did not get along for a day or two. He naturally knew it, but Mrs. Side's son was young, and he always showed interest in business and was more knowledgeable. In addition, he had determined the right of inheritance early, so he was more tolerant of Mrs. Side's mother and son.Of course, his tolerance is ignoring, he doesn't care about things in the inner house, and he will not target his younger siblings.

Luo Jian is the son-in-law of the Hou family. Although he has no family background, he was born in the palace examination and entered the Imperial Academy. He was recruited by King Kejun.The Hanlin Academy is a noble place, and it is difficult to get in, but once you get in, you have a certain qualifications or background, and if you operate properly, you can have a bright future.Even though Luo Jian is only one of the talents in Kejun Wang's network, after all, his identities are very different. Being the son-in-law of the Hou's mansion is equivalent to a family, and the interests are more closely linked.

Because of this, Tian Yuanshao has a good attitude towards Luo Jian. The two sides are not very close, but they can occasionally drink together.

Tian Yuanshao was inevitably dissatisfied with Luo Jian for what happened to the Hou Mansion.

He has long forgotten what happened 15 years ago, and was shocked to hear that he was impeached because of this, and he was at a loss.After some questioning, he barely remembered the old incident. The Lin family couldn't remember whether it was a circle or a plaque, but he remembered that Luo Jian was also from Tianshui County. The person who sent the anonymous letter this time also forged Luo Jian's handwriting, coincidence?

"Young Master, do you want to see Second Young Master?" the servant asked.

"Please come in." After hesitating for a moment, Tian Yuanshao sat up.

Luo Jian came in and saw Tian Yuanshao was tired.

"Ziqi has something to do with me?"

"Young Lord knows that I am from Tianshui County, and I also know something about the Lin family. When the Lin family had an accident, the parents and elder brothers disappeared, but they still have a daughter. There is basically nothing left in their family, but there is a big house. Son, the Lin family occupied the mansion, especially dissatisfied, and sold the daughter of the Lin family into a brothel for money. This matter is well known in Tianshui County. The girl of the Lin family stayed in the building for ten years and disappeared overnight. .”

Tian Yuanshao frowned.

Even though he had made an appearance at the time, it was indeed he who greeted the local county magistrate, but the specific arrangements were made by the stewards around him.It was the first time he went out, and he picked up an errand, he just wanted to get it done, otherwise how could he go back to Beijing for business?So his orders to the steward were very strong.It is also because of this that the management methods are very radical, which is also to blame for the Lin family's ignorance, insisting on hitting an egg with a stone, since they refuse to sell the Hou Fu's face, then crush their bones!

Tian Yuanshao found it troublesome that the Lin family's father, mother and elder brother died one after another, especially the daughter of the family who was said to have had a good birth.

To avoid leaving a disaster, he hinted at the Lin family.At that time, the Lin family had planned to marry the daughter of the Lin family away, but they dared not dare to be threatened, and became greedy, so they sold her into a brothel.He heard that the girl was looking for death and life after she went in, and the mother in the building was not a kind person, and she would make life worse than death if she used any tricks.

Tian Yuanshao originally planned to see the beauty of the daughter of the Lin family, but a letter from the capital asked him to go back, so he gave up the idea and left.

Back in the capital, the little things in Tianshui County were forgotten.

It has been over ten years, but it was dug out.

Tian Yuanshao had a sullen face: "Missing?"

Luo Jian nodded: "I didn't think about it at first, because it was said that she was burned to death. She is good-looking, and she was originally a lady from a wealthy family in Tianshui County. She is very popular, and she is the head of the local flower house. That time she was invited to a dinner party, in a small pavilion outside the city, who knew that a fire broke out, and all the maids and women who followed her were burned to death, including her bones, which was exactly the same number, so they were all treated as She's dead."

"How do you know she's not dead?" Tian Yuanshao asked.

"I guessed it." Luo Jian sighed: "At the beginning, the fire was too big and the place was out of the way. After the fire was extinguished, the skeleton was gone. Some people said she was burned to death, and some said she ran away. Now Someone wrote an anonymous letter revealing the past events 15 years ago. He knew the inside information in such detail that he must not be an outsider. I suspected it was her. She is the daughter of the Lin family. If she sued as the victim..."

There is no need to say the following words, we both understand each other.

"I know about this." Tian Yuanshao nodded.

After Luo Jian finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

Tian Yuanshao narrowed his eyes to see his leaving back, and sneered: "Play tricks on me!"

Don't look at Luo Jian's expression of helping the Hou family's worries, but a person who has always been indifferent, suddenly came to mention a woman who may have died a long time ago, which is very suspicious in itself.Tian Yuanshao may not be promising in other areas, but he was brought up in the Marquis Mansion, and he has been in various aristocratic families in the capital since he was a child. How can he not have any scheming in the city?As soon as Luo Jian mentioned the daughter of the Lin family, he felt something was wrong. He couldn't say exactly what was wrong, but Luo Jian must have concealed something.

There is no need to pursue it now, it is more important to find someone first.

If that person is really alive, when he really arrives in the capital, his whereabouts will always be revealed.After all, she is a beautiful woman, and she had to contact Wen Yushi to send an anonymous letter.

The result was unexpected, and no one was found.

In any case, they never imagined that the woman who used to be hard to hide her beauty is now an old woman with gray hair and scars on her face.Not to mention Tian Yuanshao, even Luo Jian couldn't recognize Lin Ruolan now.

On the contrary, Mu Qingyan has made some progress. After all, they are after "Grandma Tan".

Mu Qingyan used his ability to see that that night, Granny Tan left the small door, walked all the way, and finally knocked on the back door of Wen Yushi's house.Granny Tan handed something to the servants of the Wen family, and was welcomed in after a while, and has not come out since then.

"She wants to sue the imperial court." Mu Qingyan sighed.

Lin Ruolan hated the Shoushanhou Mansion, hated Luo Jian, she had nothing, neither human nor ghost, she dared to kill with her own hands.As long as she wants, she also has the opportunity to do it herself, but she doesn't want to do that, it's too cheap Luo Jian!She would rather spend more trouble, take more risks, and punish Luo Jian through legitimate means of the court.She not only wants Luo Jian's life, but also wants him to be infamous forever!

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and since the matter involved the Shoushan Hou Mansion, which was an old nobleman, the emperor appointed two princes to supervise the trial, while King Kejun had to avoid it.

A piece of evidence was presented in court, and a personal certificate was also present. Of course, the most important witness was Lin Ruolan.

When Lin Ruolan appeared in the courtroom, everyone's eyes widened.

Duanjun Wang and Kangjun Wang were the ones who came to supervise the interrogation according to the imperial edict. They were familiar with the case for a long time, and they were about to see Miss Ruolan's appearance, but unexpectedly an old woman appeared.

The presiding judge was also surprised, he collected himself and slapped the gavel: "Who is in the hall? Why are you covering your face with a black veil?"

As soon as Lin Ruolan opened her mouth, her voice was hoarse: "I am the daughter of the Lin family in Tianshui County. The reason why I covered my face with a black veil was because the fire burned me back then, ruined my appearance, and frightened the nobleman."

As he spoke, he took off the black gauze.

Immediately everyone was startled again, even in broad daylight, looking at such a bumpy and burnt face is still breath-taking, it is really terrifying.

In today's case, not only the presiding judge and deputy judge, but also two princes supervised the trial, and many officials and veterans from the court came to watch the trial.To create such a big scene, the emperor's intention is obvious, to kill chickens to scare monkeys, and the Shoushan Hou Mansion who was killed as chickens all looked ashamed.

The Shoushanhou Mansion was charged with many crimes, and it took several days to try each one.

In the end, the Hou Mansion escaped death.

The result of the disposal of the Shoushanhou Mansion was a fine of silver and demotion.The Tian family was downgraded from marquis to earl, which seemed to be downgraded by only one class, but it was more than that.The emperor decreed to revoke Tian Yuanshao's canonization of marquis, lowered the title of Marquis of Shoushan, and terminated the hereditary inheritance. As long as the old Marquis died, the Tian family would completely withdraw from the noble circle.

Although there are five grades of nobles with different surnames, sub-barons have always been rarely used, and generally only earls.At the beginning, the old nobles followed the Taizu to fight in the country, and they were entrusted with official duties, and the titles were inherited by each family for one more generation, starting from the grandchildren and downgrading to the earl.Even so, if there is no fault in the honesty, the emperor will bestow an official position, so it will not be too ugly.But for those convicted and demoted like the Shoushan Houfu, it is the emperor's favor not to kill them.

In addition, as expected by outsiders, it was a big steward and several slaves who took the blame for the Tian family, all of whom were in charge of Tianshui County, and they were all executed.There are also sons of the Marquis family who were exiled or executed, and the housewife was involved in crimes. Mrs. Hou was reprimanded by the middle palace and punished for copying Buddhist scriptures. On the contrary, Tian Xiufang's mother's decline is a big deal.

But this doesn't mean Tian Xiufang is happy, she doesn't even care about the great changes in her natal family, she is completely stunned by what happened to Luo Jian.

In order to get rid of Lin Ruolan, Luo Jian even asked her to shut up forever, and set fire to kill her.Lin Ruolan was lucky enough to save her life, but the four maidservants and coachman who followed at that time were all burned to death.The four lives and everything he did to Lin Ruolan made the presiding judge very disgusted. After a collegiate discussion, Luo Jian was sentenced to beheaded for public display.

It all came to an end, and it was the end of February.

Unknowingly, after staying in the capital for more than a month, Mu Qingyan only paid attention to the case of the Hou Mansion and did not intervene much.After the case was over, Lin Ruolan disappeared again.Mu Qingyan only knew that she left the capital, did not go to see Yaoqin, did not send a message, and left quickly and simply, when the Tian family wanted to find her, they could not find her.

Mu Qingyan didn't believe that Lin Ruolan would just let it go.

Luo Jian had already been beheaded, but the Tian family was still there, and Lin Ruolan would make a comeback sooner or later.Perhaps for her, the remaining life is only meaningful for revenge, and even Yaoqin is a pawn embedded in it.

He didn't go to investigate Lin Ruolan's whereabouts, but only wrote to Yan Lang about the results. The two death cases in Guanglin Mansion ended in accidents.

Of course, Mu Qingyan was not idle during this time, he sorted out the factions and forces of all parties in the DPRK and China.It also sorted out the old in-laws and political enemies of the Xue family back then.In addition to the few dead people mentioned by Wen Jixue, other possible suspects have also collected information.
