Chapter 1355 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 real brother, you can't just leave him alone!"

Wu Jinyu hurriedly asked Yam Changsheng to take it out, and then asked Fang: "Where is the letter?"

Zao Zao wrote to Wu Jinbao before, asking him if he would support Wu Kuo and Fang. This article was first published by Wu Jinbao, who is the eldest son and inherits most of the family business, how dare he say no to it. If he dared to say this, he would never even think about being an official. So Fang stayed on the mountain for three months, and then returned to the Wu Mansion. Now that Aunt Ji is not here, Wu Kuo also took Wu Jinzhu and his brother to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Fang family is at ease returning to Wu's residence. Fearing that Fang Shi would be lonely, Wu Jinyu gave Wu Lele day school and asked him to go home every day to accompany Fang Shi. As for Wu Chengli, he was sent to Wu Jinbao forcibly by Wu Jinyu.

When Fang heard this, she quickly took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it to Wu Jinyu.

After reading the letter, Wu Jinyu's expression eased a lot. In the letter, Wu Jinbao said that he was set by others, and he did not accept bribes, let alone disregard human life.

"Mother, you don't have to worry, since the eldest brother didn't care about human life, the imperial envoy will find out." As long as you didn't do this, everything else is fine.

Fang said, "Is it really all right?"

Wu Jinyu hummed and said, "As long as the eldest brother doesn't do it, nothing will happen."

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

The heart that had just been let go lifted up again. Fang said: "I'm afraid that the other party is too cunning, and the people sent here won't be able to find out the truth."

Wu Jinyu's face darkened: "Mother, are you saying that the emperor and the empress are incompetent people? Mother, your words have been heard by the imperial censor, and even the princess and I will suffer." This is definitely not alarmist talk. The censor of Yushitai doesn't care if you are a prince or princess, if you dare to question the emperor, queen and court officials, you didn't discuss it. At that time, in order to give an explanation to the courtiers, an order must be issued to order Zao Zao.

If Brother Xuan hadn't let go of the matter, saying that he would welcome Mrs. Lu into the door after he got married, the imperial censor would certainly have taken part in his book.

Fang felt uneasy, and said, "Jinyu, you'd better go and find out, or else my heart will always be in suspense." She has confidence in her son, but she is very clear about Xiao Fang's temperament.

Wu Jinyu didn't want to go, so she supported Fang and said, "The one who cleans himself will be cleared. Since the elder brother didn't do anything, we have nothing to fear. Mother, don't think too much, this matter will pass soon."

No matter what Fang said, Wu Jinyu just didn't want anyone to inquire about it. Fang was so angry that her face turned blue, she couldn't hold back and scolded Jin Yu so bloody, and then returned to Wu's mansion angrily.

When Zao Zao entered the room, she saw Jin Yu sitting on the warm couch with a dark face, and she didn't say anything to comfort him, but poured him a glass of water.

Although Wu Jinyu said that Fang's nature changed drastically because of those medicinal diets, but Zao Zao didn't believe it. No, a dissatisfied and scolding person. 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 Zao Zao and asked with hope, "Zao Zao, my elder brother said he was wronged. Zao Zao , my elder brother was wronged!"

Some prisoners, even if the evidence is solid, he can call himself wronged. So he didn't dare to believe everything written in Wu Jinbao's letter. But if Zao Zao said that he was wronged, then he would believe it.

Zao Zao pointed at her belly: "I raise my baby at home every day, so I don't know what's going on outside." She didn't pay attention, but as long as she wanted to know, she would just say a word.

Wu Jinyu was silent for a while and said: "Zaozao, you send someone to the Ministry of Punishment to inquire and find out what's going on."

Zao Zao chuckled lightly and said, "Do you really believe that Yu Shi 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 prince consort of the dynasty.

What idiot do you think would frame a Louyang magistrate for his position? Furthermore, your eldest brother's qualifications and political achievements are not qualified to be the magistrate. "Even if others don't know, Xiao Fang's woman will take the initiative to tell others and let everyone know who their backer is.

If it weren't for this relationship, it would be impossible for Wu Jinbao to be the governor.

Wu Jinyu understood the meaning of the words: "You mean that what happened this time is not a slander, but a fact?"

Zao Zao didn't say anything dead: "What happened to this matter, the people from the Ministry of Punishment will naturally find out. If he was wronged, he will definitely be cleared. If he really did this, he will be dealt with according to the laws of the country."

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 take bribes and neglect human life, there will only be one end." Yu Xi and Yun Qing hated corrupt officials the most, and they would arrest and kill the other. If Wu Jinyu really did this, he could only die.

Wu Jinyu's complexion turned pale instantly. No matter how big Wu Jinbao's opinions are on him, it's his compatriot brother: "Zao Zao..."

Zao Zao 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 Zao Zao who is careless on weekdays, but after these years of experience, she knows very well what can and cannot be done. If you bring up private matters with your parents or Qi Hao, they will definitely agree. But it's useless even if she pleads for mercy. The state-owned state-law family has family rules, even if she is a big princess, she can't go beyond it.

"Zaozao, if you do something wrong, you should be punished. But if my elder brother is only greedy for a few thousand taels of silver, the punishment of killing him is not too severe." The husband and wife have been together for so many years, and he also knows that Zaozao Eat soft but not hard. Therefore, he could only intercede in this tactful way. No matter what, he hoped to save Wu Jinbao's life.

Zao Zao glanced at Wu Jinyu: "You mean the crime is very serious, so there is nothing to say if you kill him?"

Wu Jinyu's scalp tingled, but he still nodded and said, "Yes. If my eldest brother is beheaded for only charging one thousand eight hundred taels of silver, I think this is a serious punishment."

Zao Zao smiled, but she didn't argue with Wu Jinyu. Instead, he called Yin Zhaofeng over and asked him to inquire about this matter.

Yin Zhaofeng said with a bitter face: "Princess, the Criminal Ministry has no acquaintances with us!" If you go to the Ministry of War, it will be much easier to inquire about the news. None of the people in the Ministry of Punishment had any 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 Zao Zao's status, if he wanted to inquire about Wu Jinbao, he would have to invite people to eat and drink. But Yin Zhaofeng hated Wu Jinbao, the greedy couple very much, so he didn't want to contribute. Also, he didn't want Zao Zao to intercede for Wu Jinbao, so he wanted to kick the ball to Brother You.

Brother Yu is a master who never suffers, so if he handles this matter, it will definitely have a happy ending.

Brother Yu had worked in the Ministry of Criminal Justice before, so he was asked to help in this matter, so that the information he obtained would be true and detailed. After thinking for a while, Zao Zao nodded and said, "Then you go to Ayou."

Brother You didn't go to the criminal department to inquire about the news, it was so inefficient, he asked Qi Hao directly: "Brother, is Wu Jinbao's case settled yet?" If Zao Zao didn't open his mouth, he wouldn't pay attention to this matter .

Qi Hao glanced at Brother Yu.

"Eldest sister asked me to ask. Elder brother, should there be a result after such a long time?" This case is not a big one, and one month is enough to find out the result.

Seeing Qi Hao frowned, Brother Yu smiled and said, "Eldest sister has a sense of proportion, she will not interfere in this matter, she just wants to understand the situation. No matter what, Wu Jinbao is brother-in-law's brother after all."

After humming, Qi Hao said, "Wu Jinbao took over two shops from the murderer's house, one of which is a silver house."

Qi Hao was taken aback: "This is really courageous." Now the imperial court is so strict in arresting corrupt officials, and punishing them severely. This Wu Jinbao dared to commit crimes against the wind, but he was not just courageous.

There was no expression on Qi Hao's face: "It has been found out that he has embezzled a total of 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 was an official is a rich place, and the greed of two thousand taels a year is really not much, so 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, and the porter who brought water to her home every day found out and reported the case 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 gold hairpin and other valuable jewelry in 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 in front of the yamen in grief, indignation and despair.

Sun Yushi sent his subordinates to investigate, and the result of the investigation was that Huang Dalang did have an affair with the widow who was killed, but on the night when the widow was killed, Huang Dalang ate wine with his younger brother and two friends, and several big men drank wine. You have to stagger to this side before you leave.

Huang Dalang's house is more than ten miles away from the widow's house. How could a drunk man kill someone. But the government did not accept the confessions of Huang Dalang's family and his children.

Sun Yushi was preparing to submit a booklet to reverse the case for Huang Dalang, when the people at the bottom found out that the widow had an affair with the only son of the wealthy Louyang businessman Luo Daguan. On the night of the incident, someone saw the young master of the Luo family enter the widow's house. After the incident, Mrs. Luo, the wife of Mr. Luo, had close contacts with Xiaofang. Even, the Luo family's most important silver building changed owners, and it was replaced by Xiao Fang's. At this point, what else does Sun Yushi understand.

After listening to what happened, Brother Yu asked Brother Yu: "Brother, according to the law, you should be beheaded for public display, right?"

Qi Hao nodded.
