Chapter 578: Evil Deeds

Li Yu was stunned when he heard this.

"I ......"

He Linwan looked at Li Yu and said: "Although this society was presided over by Fan Yun, except for Fan Yun and Wang Houde, the rest of the division commanders are not people with both talent and morality, and listening to their lectures will definitely benefit those scholars who have traveled thousands of miles to the capital." You think that many of these scholars will become the pillars of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, so you can't bear to let them down. ”

Li Yu didn't speak.

He Lin smiled at the end, "Li Yu, this is the difference between you and them, what you see is never only the immediate benefits, you always remember your surname in your heart." ”

Li Yu heard this silently, and couldn't help laughing, and coughed lightly: "Okay, it's late." No matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't help but boast like this. ”

He Linwan was skeptical of this sentence, but she glanced at Li Yu who was smiling with her eyebrows and eyes, and did not expose him, but just thought in her heart: Men also like duplicity.

The matter of Wanshan Academy has come to an end, Xiao Huzi and Xiao Mutou must have left, He Lin said lately: "It's not too early, go back?"

Li Yu nodded, "Okay." ”

The two got up and went downstairs, left Wanshan Academy from the same way, and returned to the small courtyard next door to the He family.

Li Yu sent He Linwan to the wall, and He Linwan stopped to look at Li Yu.

Without waiting for He Linwan to speak, Li Yu said understandingly: "It's inconvenient for you to act in the inner house, I will help you keep an eye on the Wang family and the Fan family, don't worry." ”

"Hmm. He Linwan glanced at Li Yu, didn't say anything, turned over and climbed the wall and left.

In fact, He Linwan was just thinking about whether he should say a few words of intimacy when parting, after all, it was not easy for the two of them to meet, but Li Yu interrupted, and He Linwan gave up.

After such a fuss in Wanshan Academy, and the will of Emperor Tiancheng, Wang Yaozong's case was quickly closed. Wang Yaozong couldn't survive the severe punishment, confessed to the crimes he committed, and had the confession of a servant of the Wang family, and the guards found the remains of seven or eight young women from a waste well on the Wang family's Zhuangzi, they were all maidservants who had been bought by the Wang family through the hands of the tooth people to sign the death deed in the house over the years, and there were no relatives in the capital, so Wang Yaozong's crimes were not exposed.

According to the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the master has the right to kill the slave and maid if he makes a mistake, and Wang Houde in the public court also wants to use this law to exonerate Wang Yaozong, but because the crimes committed by Wang Yaozong when he was in Wanshan Academy were made public, the scholars present at the time were angry and jointly wrote a letter to implore the government to severely punish Wang Yaozong.

In addition, Wang Yaozong not only tortured and killed slaves and maids, but also mutilated his wife who was marrying Ming Media, this kind of bad behavior was not tolerated by the world, Emperor Tiancheng personally issued a decree to sentence Wang Yaozong to be decided, Wang Houde taught his son to go first, and covered up the crime for Wang Yaozong, and was taken away from his official position by Emperor Tiancheng and sentenced to exile.

Emperor Tiancheng's will, the whole capital applauded, and the scholars even wrote articles praising Emperor Tiancheng as a discerning monarch.

The Wang family's case was judged smoothly, but the Fan family's case was not very smooth compared to it.

Most of what Gao Zhongshi said at Wanshan Academy that day was true. The Gao family is also a wealthy family in Minyang, they are not Minyang natives, Gao Zhong's father-in-law and mother-in-law moved to Minyang because of the fugitives, and then bought hundreds of acres of fertile land and a few small shops with the money in their hands, and the family lived a peaceful and prosperous life.

Later, a concubine of the Fan family got married, and the aunt of the concubine wanted to use her private money to buy some land and shops for her daughter, and one of her servants took a fancy to the good fields and prosperous shops in the hands of the Gao family.

The servant bullied the Gao family from outside, and had no foundation in Minyang, and wanted to take advantage of the Fan family's power to buy the Gao family's property at a low price, but the Gao family refused to agree.

The concubine of the Fan family later married the nephew of a local prefect in Minyang, and the slave became her companion.

The slave once overheard the nephew of the prefect mention that more than ten years ago, the Zhengyang bandits next door to Minyang were rampant, and then these bandits were exterminated by the government, but the bandit leader fled with his belongings, maybe he fled to them Minyang.

The slave has always held a grudge against the Gao family, and after hearing about this, he had a poisonous plan in his heart, and he spread rumors everywhere that the Gao family was the leader of the bandits who fled from Zhengyang more than ten years ago.

The Gao family was victimized by rumors, and the family was miserable. At this time, the slave came to the door again triumphantly, and wanted to buy all the Gao family's land and shops at a low price of less than one-tenth of the market price.

Gao Zhong's father-in-law was angry and fought with the evil servant, but was pushed to the ground by the evil servant, broke his head and bled out, and suddenly died not long after he was carried back.

The evil servant quibbled that the old man Gao had done too many bad things in his early years and died of a violent illness in retribution, not only did he not feel guilty and weak, but instead relied on the fact that the Gao family had no person in charge to come to the door every day to force the Gao family to move out of Minyang. Gao Zhong's mother-in-law was angry to death after suffering a series of blows.

The old couple of the Gao family had two sons in their early years, the eldest son was lost when he fled, and the younger son, who was also the husband of the Gao Zhong family, was in poor health, and was beaten with a hundred boards when he went to the yamen to complain, and died soon after.

In the end, only Gao Zhong and two young children were left.

The evil servant felt that things had come to this point, so he simply dealt with the Gao Zhong family without doing anything, so that he could occupy the Gao family's property without spending a penny. So the evil servant bribed two ruffians and hooligans pretending to be the nephews of Gao Zhong's father-in-law to come to the door to divide the family property, and they also planned to call the Yaren to buy Gao Zhong's family to the foot merchant as a concubine, and the remaining two children would be sent out after the matter was completed.

When a servant girl of the Gao family heard the plans of the evil servant and the two ruffians, she immediately informed Gao Zhong, who fled with her two children overnight, and when the mother and son were cornered, they were rescued by a caravan, and the lady in charge of the caravan saw that they were pitiful and brought them to the capital.

The evil deeds that the evil servant had committed in Minyang were not very thorough, and they could soon be found out.

But the Fan family reacted quickly.

Fan Yun did not have a word of defense after finding out about the matter, and immediately sent a letter to the patriarch of Minyang to ask the clan to remove the name of the Fan family concubine who caused trouble, and then asked the Fan family to escort the evil servant and the people involved in the case to Beijing.

The Fan family cooperated so well and saved some reputation for the Fan family. After all, the Fan family's concubine is a daughter of a foreign marriage, although the Fan family is suspected of having no way to teach their daughter, but they can't let the entire Fan family be convicted because of the Gao family's affairs.

Although the reputation of the Fan family has been damaged by this incident, after a long time, the world will forget that the Fan family is still that deep-rooted family. In fact, if it weren't for the Gao Zhong clan making trouble at Wanshan Academy, this matter would not have spread out of the Minyang realm even if it happened.

Everyone thought that the evil servant would be punished, the Fan family daughter was expelled from the house, and the Gao family's affairs would be over, but a few days later, Fan Yun was assassinated.
