Chapter 895 The Tian Family Has No Brothers

Ling Ruoyun was teasing his son when he saw Xu Wuyin walk into the room with a sullen face. Ling Ruoyun walked over, trying to untie Xu Wu's outer clothes, but Xu Wu stretched out his hand and pushed him away.

"Master, what happened? It made you so angry?" Seeing Xu Wu like this, it must be no small matter.

Xu Wu asked Ling Ruoyun: "Bring me the letter Ling Ruoyuan wrote to you." He can now be sure that Ling Ruoyuan must not only talk about Zhao's childbirth.

Ling Ruoyun's complexion changed, and he said, "Master, I burned that letter." She had already written a letter to reprimand Ling Ruoyuan, telling him to be her own errand and not to overstep. Han Jianming is the eldest brother of the princess, and he has won the trust of the princess. How can Ling Ruoyuan, a small county magistrate, be able to offend him.

Xu Wu asked: "Then what did he say in the letter? Don't keep it from me."

Ling Ruoyun briefly explained the contents of the letter: "Master, if Yuan is at fault, I have already sent a letter to reprimand him."

Xu Wu sneered when he heard this: "You actually said that Han Jianming covered the sky with one hand in Jiangnan? Does he think he is alive, or does he think that the princess is a wine bag and a rice bag?" This hand covers the sky. You know, the generals guarding the south of the Yangtze River did not listen to Han Jianming's orders. Furthermore, there are Yang Duoming and others there! If Han Jianming really overstepped, even if he was the eldest brother of the princess, the princess would not tolerate him.

Ling Ruoyun said cautiously: "Master, Ruoyuan must have been deceived by villains. Master, I have already scolded him, and he will definitely not do it again."

Xu Wu sneered and said, "It would be fine if he just slandered Han Jianming. But he is so bold that he dares to embezzle and accept bribes." It's really lard. Although the Ling family is not rich, it is also a well-off family. There is no shortage of food and clothing, but he did not expect that Ling Ruoyuan would embezzle and accept bribes.

Ling Ruoyun's face turned pale: "Master, how could Ruoyuan do such a thing? It must be a mistake."

Xu Wu said: "Some officials impeached him for corruption and bribery. The so-called groundlessness is not true. He must be impeached because of his improper conduct."

Ling Ruoyun hurriedly said: "Ruoyuan must have been framed." She didn't believe that her younger brother would do such a self-destructive thing.

Xu Wu glanced at Ling Ruoyuan and said, "I also hope this is a misunderstanding. Otherwise, I will be held responsible." Ling Ruoyuan was recommended by him, and he would also be jointly and severally responsible if something happened.

[UU Reading 00kxs] Ling Ruoyun was about to say something, when he heard his youngest son howling in the room.

Xu Wu said: "Go and coax the child! I have to go back to the palace. Don't think too much about Ling Ruoyuan. If he was framed and slandered, I would definitely not sit idly by." But if he hadn't been slandered, He was determined not to care.

Ling Ruoyun coaxed her son well, and then asked the mother to carry the child down: "Xiao Lian, bring me a pen and paper."

In the middle of writing, Ling Ruoyun tore up the letter and wrote it again. After writing, tearing and writing, the letter still hasn't been written for nearly half an hour.

Looking at Ling Ruoyun who was slumped on the chair, Xiao Lian cautiously asked: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" She looked restless.

Ling Ruoyun said: "There are officials impeaching Ruoyuan for taking bribes." Xiao Lian was brought here from the Ling family, and she was also a maid who accompanied her since she was a child, so she didn't shy away from it.

Xiao Lian was taken aback, but quickly said: "Ma'am, my uncle must have been framed. Ma'am, don't worry, it will be fine when things are cleared up."

Ling Ruoyun shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's true." If it wasn't true, the master wouldn't be so angry. After being married for so many years, there is still some understanding of this.

Xiao Lian opened her mouth in shock: "How could it be? My uncle is not short of money.

How can it be corrupt and bribery? Ma'am, there must be a mistake. "

Ling Ruoyun smiled wryly and said: "Although the Ling family doesn't have to worry about food and drink, they are relatively ordinary people." Ling Ruoyun was in charge of the family back then, so naturally he knew everything about the Ling family's property. Although Ling Ruoyuan got all the properties, the total amount is only four to five thousand taels of silver. Jiangnan is the most affluent place in the world, and the Ling family's wealth is probably not even comparable to ordinary wealthy households in Jiangnan.

Xiao Lian asked in disbelief: "Ma'am, what you mean is that this is true, isn't my uncle framed?"

Ling Ruoyun nodded slightly.

Xiao Lian said anxiously: "Madam, then hurry up and beg the master to let him take care of the uncle." No one in Pickaxe City knows that the prince and princess hate corrupt officials the most. Once caught, it is not as simple as throwing a black hat, it is likely to lose one's life.

Ling Ruoyun smiled wryly and said: "If Yuan really wants to take bribes, the master will not come forward." Ling Ruoyun knew that what Xu Wu hated most was corruption and bribery, because he suffered from it. If Yuan commits other crimes, as long as she asks for mercy, her husband will help him in her own name, but this is not the case.

Jiangnan inspector Liang Songbai received the official letter and immediately began to thoroughly investigate Ling Ruoyuan's corruption and bribery case.

Mr. Qu got the news and said: "My lord, logically speaking, you should thoroughly investigate this corruption matter. But the princess bypassed you and asked Liang Songbai to investigate this matter thoroughly. This is also a bad sign for us. .” Han Jianming is the governor of Jiangnan and the biggest official here. Logically speaking, nothing can bypass him. The princess' behavior now clearly shows that she doesn't trust Han Jianming.

Mr. Zhao is also worried: "Master, we haven't heard any news about this incident. Master, is the prince trusting you?"

Han Jianming wasn't worried that Yuxi would doubt him, he still had some confidence: "That's not the case. But I didn't know that something like this happened under the rule, I'm afraid the princess annoyed me."

Mr. Qu spoke very directly: "Master, there is something I don't know whether to say or not?"

Han Jianming knew it would not be a good word, but he nodded and said, "Mr. Qu has something to say."

"The Tian family has no siblings." Mr. Qu said this purposely because he saw what Han Jianming was thinking.

The concubine is the real ruler of the world, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is the uncrowned emperor. The most important thing for such people is power and interests, and family affection is dispensable to them.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "It hasn't reached that point yet." Han Jianming can't guarantee whether Yuxi will become renounced in the future, but he hasn't yet.

Mr. Zhao said: "My lord, you have to write an indictment as soon as possible, otherwise there will be serious troubles." Han Jianming had killed many people in Jiangnan before, so he offended many people and forged a great hatred. These people wished to cut Han Jianming into pieces. If he loses the backing of the princess, his end will be worrying.

Han Jianming hummed and did not speak again.

Corrupt officials can never be caught and killed, Yuxi knows this very well. However, if severe punishment is used, officials will have some scruples and dare not be blatant. So Liang Songbai's corruption case this time is not a stop, but a thorough investigation.

Pull out the radish with a hole, dug out a lot of people. Niu Jingyi, the prefect of Jinling, was also involved in the corruption case.

Han Jianming's face changed drastically when he got the news. You must know that Niu Jingyi is his confidant. Now that Niu Jing is involved in a corruption case, it is difficult for him to get rid of his innocence.

Mr. Zhao said: "Master, we can't just ignore this matter." If we let it go, it is very likely that the master will be tracked down by someone with a heart.

Han Jianming waved his hand and said, "If they want to investigate, let them investigate." These people have to see if they have the ability to punish him.

Niu Jingyi was imprisoned, and his eldest son went to the governor's mansion to ask Han Jianming to plead his grievances, but unfortunately Han Jianming did not see him. He just asked Han Gao to go out to meet him, saying that people are not afraid of shadows, if Niu Jingyi is not corrupt and accepting bribes, he doesn't have to be afraid of Liang Songbai's thorough investigation. On the contrary, pleading is useless.

The Niu family is naturally unwilling to give up this only way of life. Mrs. Niu knew that Qiu would go to Qixia Temple to offer incense on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, so she waited at Qixia Temple this day.

Looking at Mrs. Niu who was kneeling on the ground and crying miserably, Qiu couldn't bear it, and said to the maid next to her, "Poor girl, help her up!"

Mrs. Niu didn't want to get up, so she cried and said, "Madam, my master has been an official for so many years, no one would say that he is upright and upright. This time it is a villain who wants to harm our master. Madam, please show mercy and save him." Our master!"

Mother Li didn't wait for Qiu Shi to speak, she frowned and said, "Madam Niu, if you have a grievance, you can go to the government to complain, or you can go to the Supervision Department. Our old lady doesn't care about outside affairs, so it's useless if you ask."

If Mrs. Niu had other methods, it would be impossible to ask Qiu Shi: "Madam, I beg you, my master has been wronged. As long as Mr. Han is willing to make decisions for our master, my master will not have to die wronged." .Old lady, you are the reincarnation of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and you are the most merciful, please save my master!"

Seeing that Mrs. Niu was crying so much that she fainted, Qiu Shi hurriedly asked someone to pinch her. When Mrs. Niu woke up, Qiu said, "If Master Niu was really wronged, I will let Ming Er clear him up." .”

When going back, Qiu's face was a bit ugly. No one would be happy when something like this happened.

Mother Li thought for a while and said: "Old Madam, it's not that Mrs. Niu said that being wronged is wronged. There must be something inside this matter." In fact, Mother Li wanted to persuade Qiu Shi not to care about this matter, but she knew Qiu Shi's temperament , It is useless to persuade.

Qiu Shi said: "I'll know what's going on when I ask Ming'er."

Back at the governor's mansion, the Qiu family sent people to look for Han Jianming. The servant girl quickly came back and said, "Old Madam, the Elder Master has something to go out, and the Chief Steward said that he might not be able to return until evening." As the largest official in Jiangnan, Han Jianming also had a lot of things to do.

Han Jianming came back when it was dark. Hearing that Qiu Shi was looking for him, he rushed to the backyard immediately.

Han Gao followed behind him, and said as he walked, "Master, this time the old lady is looking for you because of the corruption case."

Han Jianming stopped and asked, "For the corruption case? How does the old lady know about it?" The Qiu family is a person who doesn't care about things, and no one in the Governor's Mansion has the courage.

Han Gao told about Qiu Shi Shangxiang's meeting with Mrs. Niu: "The Niu family planned to meet Mrs. Niu, but our people didn't guard against it, and let them take advantage of the loophole."

Han Jianming's face was a bit ugly: "What do the guards do? Fortunately, it's just Wen's this time. What if someone with evil intentions approaches the old lady?"

Han Gao said in a low voice: "It's a small dereliction of duty, please punish me." In fact, it can't be blamed on Han Gao, because after arriving at the temple, Qiu felt that it was disrespectful to the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bring the guards, so he didn't want the guards to follow.

Han Jianming said without saying a word, "Forget it this time, and there will be no next time." It is not a secret that his mother will go to Qixia Temple on the 15th of every month, so every time Qiu goes out, he will have enough guards.

Han Gao hurriedly responded.

When Qiu met Han Jianming, she asked, "Is it true that Niu Zhifu is corrupt and accepting bribes?" In the afternoon, she had already asked someone to inquire about it, and she had a general understanding of this matter.

Han Jianming shook his head and said: "Whether there is corruption or bribery can only be found out after a trial. If he is innocent, Liang Songbai will not wrong him." Liang Songbai is in the name of justice, otherwise he would not be appointed by Yuxi Jiangnan is an envoy.

Qiu twirled the Buddhist bead in his hand, and after two turns, he asked, "If he takes bribes, what kind of punishment will he receive?"

Without even thinking about it, Han Jianming said, "If the amount is large, he will be beheaded for public display." If Niu Jingyi really took bribes, the amount must be quite large.

Qiu Shi said with some reluctance: "Does it have to be beheaded to show the public? Can't we use other methods of punishment?"

Han Jianming said: "If he really took bribes and the amount was huge, not only would he be beheaded for public display, but his wife and children would also be implicated."

"Amitabha." After reading a few times, Qiu said: "This is too cruel, the old and the weak, women and children are so innocent, you should tell Yuxi about this."

Han Jianming said with some headaches: "Mother, the state-owned state-law family has family rules. If Niu Jingyi really violates the state law, he will naturally be dealt with according to the law."

Qiu Shi pinched the Buddhist beads and said: "Being extrajudicial, killing is not the fundamental way to solve the problem."

Han Jianming knew that it would be unreasonable to reason with the Qiu family: "Mother, Niu Jingyi is one of my trusted subordinates. If he is really corrupt and accepting bribes, I can't get rid of it."

When Qiu heard this, she became anxious immediately, and hurriedly asked: "What does Yuxi say about this?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said: "I don't know what Yuxi's attitude is now. So at this time, mother, you must not plead for Niu Jingyi. Once you send this letter, Yuxi thinks it is my intention!" He didn't dare to say it, lest Qiu Shi get angry.

Qiu Shi hurriedly nodded and said: "I don't know how to write letters." After speaking, he asked very worriedly: "Ming'er, you should not be involved in this matter, right?"

Han Jianming originally wanted to say it was okay, but then he thought that if someone begged Qiu Shi again, it would be bad if Qiu Shi was soft-hearted and really wrote to Yuxi to plead for mercy. Han Jianming said: "Mother, this is different from the past, so don't put on airs like an elder in front of Yuxi from now on."

These words are not very pleasant to hear. Qiu's face sank, and he said, "What do you mean by that?"

Han Jianming said: "Yuxi is Princess Ming, the one who controls most of the country. Before her, we are ministers first, and family members second."

Qiu's complexion changed, and after a long time, he said, "I see." (To be continued)
