Chapter 888: Destruction
In the decree of Emperor Qinglong, Guan Jinghuan was the main culprit in this major rebellion case, and the rest of the people were accomplices. However, among accomplices, the offences are also divided into minor and serious offences.
Like Gu Shangshu, Jin Nanhou, Anping Hou, and Changping Hou, it is ironclad evidence. Jin Nanhou's report was just a sharp knife to Emperor Qinglong, so that he could justifiably dispose of a few families.
More incriminating evidence of several people comes from the evidence that Shadow Guard and Xiao Cavalry Guard have in the past.
When the prince forced the palace to kill the king, Emperor Qinglong wanted to dispose of a few people. However, in view of the need to stabilize the situation and the fact that they did not want to announce the prince's crimes to the world, they were allowed to live a leisurely life.
This time, several people once again disappointed Emperor Qinglong. It can be said that it is completely self-defeating.
Therefore, when Jin Nanhou betrayed others, he barely saved Manmen's life and still demoted his title.
Changping Hou and Anping Hou are each other's in-laws, and they are also guilty of the same crime at this time, but they can be regarded as brothers in distress.
Changping Hou and Anping Hou were immediately beheaded, and the family property was not returned to the inner treasury. Both families were stripped of their titles, the female dependents were filled into the Church Division, and the men were all exiled for 3,000 li.
As a result, the two families that were prosperous in the past suddenly fell apart. Although they are all alive, in this era, the distance of three thousand miles is destined that they will not be reunited while they are alive.
The Gao and Cheng families are also regarded as the Hou Mansion with great dignity in Beijing, and it is sighing that they were destroyed once they were destroyed.
What's more, the nobles and the important ministers of the court were divided into two factions, and they only married each other internally. Which one dares to say that it has nothing to do with other nobles at all?
There is a joke in the capital, just find out two irrelevant noble sons and daughters, and you can always find out the kinship between the two.
Therefore, the in-laws behind the two families involve the entire elite circle in the capital.
It's just that with Emperor Qinglong's thunderous anger in front of them, their in-laws only dare to quietly take care of one or two. Who dares to be involved in the crime of rebellion?
Guan Jinghuan's bloodstains on the door have not dried, and everyone is seeking self-protection.
The rest of Yonglebo and others did not have high titles and official positions, and it was only out of opportunism that they became vassals of the Prince's Mansion and lackeys under the door.
For these people, Emperor Qinglong only lowered various punishments such as dismissal and dismissal, fines and silver, and did not pursue them much. It also eased the atmosphere in Beijing.
……
At the foot of the North Mountain, the back house of Songxi Academy, the Tu family.
After the Lin family finished handling the family affairs, he was helped back to the main room by Hexiang. A dark cloud hung over her countenance. Several of the housekeepers' daughters-in-law were reprimanded by her.
It's just that the Tu family knows that she is in a bad mood these days. Tu Hongyi didn't want to go back to the backyard and look at her face, so he stayed at Aunt Ye's place for several days.
At this time, the Lin family was even more unhappy, and the subordinates served more carefully.
Peach came in with tea and gently placed it in her hand. Lin furrowed her brows, immersed in her own world, unaware.
After a while, she came to her senses and asked in an astringent voice, "How is the matter that asked you to inquire?"
Xiang Tao replied respectfully: "Old lady, I heard that the Marquis of Anping has been beheaded. The man is still locked up in Dali Temple, and when the verdict of the Criminal Department comes down, he will be exiled. All the female dependents were sent to the Workshop Division. ”
"Teaching Workshop Division......" Lin's hand unconsciously gently rubbed on the rim of the cup, how can the daughters of the Cheng family survive in such a place.
Not long ago, she was invited to the Marquis of Anping Mansion as a guest. At that time, she was still envious of the wealth of the Hou Mansion to a higher level, the son of the family was promising, and there was no shortage of heirs, and she was thriving.
Who would have thought that after only a few months of not seeing, those vivid faces like flowers would usher in such a tragic fate?
For young and beautiful women, from the high-ranking Houfu ladies to the women of the teaching workshop, I don't know how many people can survive.
However, what worries her even more is that her sister Lin Anjia is now older. She has enjoyed the honor of Mrs. Hou for a lifetime, and at her age, she can only do some rough work when she goes to the Teaching Workshop Division.
Will she be able to make it through?
However, Lin's worries are worried, and it is impossible for her to lend a hand. Even if she went to visit the Teaching Division, she didn't have the courage to do so, and she was even more reluctant to take this risk.
She was even a little lucky, glad that Tu Manfen reconciled with the Cheng family in the autumn. This matter will not implicate her, let alone the Tu family.
According to the law of the Gao Mang Dynasty, the divorced woman no longer has anything to do with her original husband's family. Whether or not the husband's family expels the divorced woman from the genealogy, it is not recognized by the law.
Therefore, this time the Cheng family was unlucky, and Tu Manfen could not be implicated.
Thinking of this, Lin was a little afraid.
"You pay more attention, and report to me immediately if you have any news. Lin commanded.
In fact, since she didn't plan to help, it was useless to inquire about the news of the Marquis of Anping.
It's just that there is still a secret joy in her heart. From childhood to adulthood, she used Lin Anjia's words and deeds as her role model. watched Lin Anjiagao marry into the Hou Mansion, and he could only marry a Tu family who was deposed by the first emperor and had a decent life.
Since she was a child, she has carefully ingratiated herself with her sister-in-law, learning, imitating, and quietly jealous. But because of her humble status, she never thought that one day she would surpass her.
But this day really came! At this time, Lin's mood was extremely complicated.
"So, it's better to be low-key. Take a look at the Anping Marquis Mansion that day, and then look at the Cheng family today. If you weren't so carried away, how could you be where you are today?"
Lin didn't know who he was talking about, but he always wanted to vent it.
Hexiang has served her for many years, and can understand a little bit of her mind, so she answered: "What the old lady said is true." The maid doesn't know much, but according to the maid, our Tu family is the most stable. ”
"Sisters and sisters of the old lady's mother's family, who doesn't envy you for marrying the best now?"
Lin finally showed a soothing smile, and Hexiang knew that her words had touched her heart.
Compared with Lin's just glad and afraid, Li's reaction was much more intense.
Hearing the news of the destruction of the Marquis of Anping's mansion, she couldn't wait to hold a banquet for three days and three nights in a row to celebrate.
The so-called injustice will kill itself, the Cheng family can raise a bastard son like Cheng Jinghao, of course, it is not a good thing!
The Lin family didn't understand the many ways of the imperial court, and they didn't understand why the Cheng family was unlucky. In short, Cheng Jinghao dared to murder her beloved daughter, she thought she deserved it and killed herself.
Lee's lips were slightly upturned, and he was in a good mood. From now on, there will be no Cheng family in the capital, and his daughter will no longer have to shy away from it, and she can finally raise her eyebrows in Beijing.
You must know that the Cheng family had a lot of influence when it was still the Marquis of Anping. People who have dealings with them will deliberately ignore Tu Manfen during the feast.
