The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1679

[Chapter 1679 Exile (2)]

Seeing that Wu Jinyu didn’t speak, Mrs. Fang became anxious immediately, grabbed his sleeve and said with red eyes, “Jinyu, he is your own brother, you can’t wait until you die!”

Wu Jinyu hurriedly asked Yam Changsheng to carry it out, and then asked Mrs Fang, “Where’s the letter?”

Zaozao wrote to Wu Jinbao before, asking him if he would support Wu Kuo and Fang. Wu Jinbao is the eldest son and inherits most of the family business, how dare he say he can’t support him. If you dare to say this, don’t even think about being an official. So Fang stayed on the mountain for three months and returned to Wu’s house. Now that Concubine Ji is not here, Wu Kuo also took Wu Jinzhu and his brother to Jiangnan, and Mrs. Fang is more comfortable when she returns to Wu’s house. Afraid that Fang was alone, Wu Jinyu arranged a day study for Wu Lele and asked him to go home every day to accompany Fang. As for Wu Chengli, he was forcibly sent by Wu Jinyu to Wu Jinbao.

When Mr. Fang heard this, he quickly took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Jinyu.

After reading the letter, Wu Jinyu’s expression softened a lot. In the letter, Wu Jinbao said that he was tricked by others, and he did not accept bribes, and he did not take lives.

“Mother, you don’t have to worry, since the eldest brother didn’t waste his life, the imperial commissioner will find out.” As long as he doesn’t do this, everything else is easy to say.

Fang said, “Is it really okay?”

Wu Jinyu hummed and said, “As long as the big brother doesn’t do it, nothing will happen.”

After a pause, Wu Jinyu added: “The emperor and the queen hate corrupt officials the most. If he really does these things, no one can save him.” This is also a precaution for Fang.

The heart that had just been put down came up again. Fang said: “I’m afraid that the other party is too cunning, and the people who send it can’t find out the truth.”

Wu Jinyu’s face darkened: “Mother, are you saying that the emperor and the empress are incompetent people? Mother, if your words reach the ears of the censor, even the princess and I will be eaten and hung up.” This is definitely not alarmist. The censor of the Censor Terrace, regardless of whether you are a prince or a princess, dares to question the emperor, the queen and the court officials, and I will not discuss it with you. At that time, in order to give an explanation to the courtiers, it is definitely necessary to order the jujube.

If the matter of Brother Xuan hadn’t been put aside and said that after he got married, he would welcome Mrs. Lu into the door, and the imperial censor would definitely read his book.

Mrs Fang felt uneasy and said, “Jinyu, you’d better go and find out, otherwise my heart will always hang.” She had confidence in her son, but she knew exactly what Mrs Fang was like.

Wu Jinyu was reluctant to go, so he supported Mrs Fang and said, “The Qing people are self-cleaning, since the eldest brother didn’t do what we are afraid of. Mother, don’t think too much, this matter will be over soon.”

No matter what Fang said, Wu Jinyu just wouldn’t let anyone inquire about it. Fang Shi’s face turned blue with anger, and one couldn’t hold back and scolded Jin Yu with blood, and then returned to Wu Mansion angrily.

Zaozao entered the room and saw Jin Yu sitting on the warm couch with a dark face. He didn’t say anything to comfort him, but just poured him a glass of water.

Although Wu Jinyu said that Fang’s nature changed greatly because of those medicated diets, Zaozao didn’t believe it. This is not, an unhappy and cursed. This time, I didn’t eat anything unclean.

Wu Jinyu took the water, turned his head and put it on the small table on the warm couch, looked up at Zaozao and asked with a look of hope: “Zaozao, my elder brother said he was wronged. Zaozao , my big brother was wronged!”

Some prisoners, even if the evidence is solid, he can call himself wronged. Therefore, what Wu Jinbao wrote in the letter, he did not dare to believe it all. But if Zaozao said he was wronged, then he believed it.

Zaozao pointed to her stomach: “I raise my baby at home every day, how can I know what’s going on outside.” She didn’t pay attention, but as long as she wanted to know, it was just a matter of words.

Wu Jinyu was silent for a while and said, “Zaozao, send someone to the Ministry of Punishment to find out what’s going on.”

Zaozao chuckled: “Do you really believe that the Censor has wronged him?”

Wu Jinyu said: “I’m afraid that my brother was framed, and Sun Yushi didn’t know about it.” He would think that Wu Jinbao was framed because Wu Jinbao was not short of money.

Zaozao smiled and said: “Although Louyang is thousands of miles away from the capital, the officials there are not deaf or blind, so how could they not know that you are the concubine of the dynasty. Do you think any idiot would do it for a prefect of Louyang? Just frame him because of his position? Besides, your elder brother’s qualifications and political achievements are not enough to serve as the prefect.” Even if others don’t know, the woman from Xiao Fang will take the initiative to tell others, so that everyone knows who their backers are. .

If it weren’t for this relationship, Wu Jinbao would not have been able to become this state.

Wu Jinyu understood the meaning of the words: “You mean this time is not a slander, but a fact?”

Zaozao didn’t say anything to death: “What is going on in this matter, the people of the Ministry of Punishment will naturally find out. If he is wronged, he will definitely be innocent. If he does this, he will be dealt with in accordance with national law.”

Wu Jinyu’s heart skipped a beat: “If this is true, what kind of punishment will he receive?”

Glancing at Wu Jinyu, Zao Zao said, “If he really dares to embezzle and take bribes to waste his life, there will only be one fate.” Yu Xi and Yun Qing hated corrupt officials the most, so they arrested one and killed the other. Wu Jinyu really did this, only to die.

Wu Jinyu’s complexion instantly turned pale. No matter how big Wu Jinbao’s opinion of him is, it is also his compatriot brother: “Zaozao…”

Zaozao cut off his words: “My mother specially asked me to enter the palace to talk about this before, just to warn me not to interfere in this matter.”

Don’t look at Zaozao’s usual carelessness, but after these years of experience, she is very clear about what can and cannot be done. If you bring up personal matters with your parents or Qi Hao, they will definitely agree. But it’s useless even if she asks for mercy. The state-owned legal family has family rules, even if she is the eldest princess, it cannot be surpassed.

“Zao Zao, if you do something wrong, you should be punished. But if my eldest brother is just greedy for a few thousand taels of silver, wouldn’t the punishment be too severe to kill him.” After so many years of husband and wife, he also knew Za Zao. Eat soft not hard. Therefore, he can only intercede in this euphemistic way. In any case, he hoped to save Wu Jinbao’s life.

Zao Zao glanced at Wu Jinyu: “You mean the crime was very serious, killing him without words?”

Wu Jinyu’s scalp went numb, but he still nodded and said, “Yes. If my elder brother was beheaded for only 1,800 taels of silver, I think the punishment would be severe.”

Zaozao smiled, but she didn’t argue with Wu Jinyu. Instead, he called Yin Zhaofeng over and asked him to inquire about it.

Yin Zhaofeng said with a bitter face: “Princess, we don’t have any acquaintances in the Ministry of Punishment!” If you go to the Ministry of War, it will be much easier to inquire about the news. People from the Ministry of Punishment have never been in contact with them.

After a pause, Yin Zhaofeng said, “If the princess really wants to know about this, it would be better to find the Fourth Highness.”

With the status of Zaozao, if you want to inquire about Xia Wu Jinbao, you will also invite people to eat and drink. But Yin Zhaofeng disliked Wu Jinbao, a greedy couple, so he was reluctant to contribute. He also didn’t want Zaozao to intercede for Wu Jinbao, so he wanted to kick the ball to Brother You.

Brother You is a master who never suffers losses. If this matter is handed over to him, he will definitely get a happy ending.

Brother You worked as a clerk in the Ministry of Punishment, and he asked him to help in this matter, so as to ensure that the information he found was true and detailed. After thinking for a while, Zaozao nodded and said, “Then go to Ayou.”

Brother You didn’t go to the Ministry of Justice to inquire about the news. It was inefficient, so he asked Qi Hao directly: “Brother, has Wu Jinbao’s case come to a conclusion?” .

Qi Hao glanced at Brother You.

“Big sister asked for help. Big brother, should it take so long to get a result?” This case is not a big one, and one month is enough to find out the result.

Seeing Qi Hao frowning, Brother You smiled and said, “Eldest sister has her own sense. She won’t intervene in this matter, she just wants to understand the situation. No matter what, Wu Jinbao is brother-in-law’s brother after all.”

With a sigh of relief, Qi Hao said, “Wu Jinbao has taken over two shops from the murderer’s house, one of which is the Silver Building.”

Qi Hao was taken aback: “This is really courageous.” Nowadays, the court is so strict in arresting corrupt officials, and the punishment is also very serious. This Wu Jinbao dared to commit a crime against the wind, but he was timid.

There was no expression on Qihao’s face: “It has been found out that he has embezzled more than 13,600 taels of silver over the years.”

Wu Jinbao has been an official for seven or eight years, and the place where he is an official is a rich and prosperous place. It is indeed not much to steal two thousand or two taels of silver a year, and naturally it will not attract people’s attention. This time, not only was he too greedy, but he was also unlucky.

The incident this time was not complicated. It was a beautiful widow who died suddenly at home. The porter who brought water to her house every day discovered and reported the case early the next morning.

The government found out that the widow had an affair with her cousin Huang Dalang. Afterwards, the officials found the widow’s golden hairpin and other valuable jewelry at Huang Dalang’s house, and determined that he was the murderer.

Huang Dalang is not married yet, only an old mother. Knowing that he had been sentenced to death, the old man hanged himself on the lion at the gate of the yamen in grief, anger and despair.

Sun Yushi sent people under him to inquire, and the result of the investigation was that Huang Dalang did have an affair with the slain widow, but the night the widow was killed, Huang Dalang drank wine with his hair boy and two friends, and a few older men drank. Had to swerve before leaving.

Huang Dalang’s family and the widow’s family are more than ten miles away. How could a drunken person kill someone. But the government did not accept the testimony of Huang Dalang’s family and his children.

Sun Yushi was about to file a case for Huang Dalang to overturn the case, and the people under him found out that the widow had an affair with the only son of Luo Daguanren, a wealthy businessman in Louyang. On the night of the crime, someone saw the young master of the Luo family enter the widow’s house. After the incident, Mrs. Luo, the wife of Luo Daguanren, had close contacts with Xiao Fang. Even the most important silver building of the Luo family changed its owner to Xiao Fang. At this meeting, what else does Sun Yushi understand?

Brother You heard the story and asked Brother You, “Brother, according to the law, should be beheaded to show the public?”

Qi Hao nodded.
