Chapter 52: Caught (2)

When Lin and the others were sent back to Fucheng, it was already the afternoon of the third day. Because of their group, wounded and weak, the speed of the march was very slow, and it took two or three days to return to the city.

When the Lin family returned to the city, Cen Erniang and Cen Erye's health had improved a lot, and Lin Wuye, Zhao Heimian and Miao Da were all able to get out of bed and walk around. It's just that Cen Saburo and Granny Feng are still crazy and haven't regained their senses yet.

When the Lin family took Cen Sanlang's hand with a dusty face and stepped into the branch of the Hongwei Dart Bureau on Zhuque Street, they saw that Cen Erniang and Cen Erye had only lost some weight, and there were slight abrasions on their bodies, but they were all fine, and they learned from them that although Da'er and Granny Feng were mentally abnormal, they were also fine. Although she was deeply saddened by the deaths of Mama Shen, Jingshan, Ling Feng and others, in her heart, she was thanking all the Buddhas and gods for keeping their family alive and well.

Lin and Cen Sanlang ran away repeatedly, physically and mentally exhausted, hugged and cried with Cen Erniang and Cen Erye, and said a few words, and the two couldn't hold back and fainted. Their bodies were already weak, and they lay in bed for more than ten days.

After Lin and Cen Saburo were bedridden for three days, the people of Governor Sun's mansion arrested most of the black-clothed people who had fled from the mountains. Only a few remain at large.

However, because the case involved a large number of people and was beyond the jurisdiction of a state prefect, Governor Sun had already reported the case to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and a circular had already been issued calling on the officers and men of all prefectures to arrest those people. I believe that it will not be long before those fugitives can be apprehended.

During this period, after Cen Erniang and Cen Erye discussed, they asked Lin Siye's two cronies to carry two thick family letters and send them to the Cen family patriarch and Cen San Master in Hong'an Mansion, and the other heavier one was personally sent by Lin Siye to the hands of Cen Moshan, a member of the Cabinet University in Beijing.

Cen Moshan is the eldest son of the Cen family's eldest son, not only is he knowledgeable, he is upright, he is used to behaving in the world, and he is even more comfortable in the officialdom, and he is very holy. However, when he reached the age of forty, he sat in the position of a cabinet scholar. He is also the youngest and most promising cabinet official in Dajing today, and he is the most outstanding figure of the Cen family's generation, and there is no one.

Cen Erniang asked Lin Siye to personally send the letter to Cen Moshan because the letter was very important. There is not only evidence of Gao and Feng's troubled backyard and framing of the second room, but also evidence of Gao's murder. The second master Cen also personally took up the pen and wrote a letter to implore Cen Moshan to come forward and severely punish the Gao family and the third master.

The reason why Second Master Cen wrote such a letter was mainly based on his friendship with Cen Moshan in the past. With his understanding of Cen Moshan, Cen Moshan is jealous and hateful, and he values the reputation and honor of the Cen family very much, and will not tolerate anyone smearing the Cen family, nor will he allow others to bully the Cen family. Although they were kicked out of the Cen family in the second room, they always had the blood of the Cen family on their bodies, and if Cen Moshan knew what the Gao family and the third master of the high school had done, he would never let them have a good time.

However, the two elder brothers of the Gao family are both officials in the court, and their positions are not low, and the second master Cen is afraid that they will make a move and smooth out the matter. On the day he was rescued, he met with Sun Zhifu, knew it with affection, moved it with reason, and persuaded Sun Zhifu to let him directly report the matter to Liu Shangshu, the secretary of the criminal department who had a close relationship with him, and Duan Shanyue, the secretary of the Dali Temple who was famous for his fairness and strictness, iron blood and selflessness.

Under Cen Erniang's reminder, the second master Cen also gave the old patriarch and the third master Cen a book to each of them, and disclosed all the actions of the Feng family, the Gao family and the Gao family in the letter. It's kind of a third-hand defense.

Cen Erniang and Cen Erye hated the Gao family and the Gao family this time, they didn't know if the Feng family was also involved in this matter, but in the spirit of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go, they handed over the evidence of Feng's fornication, chaos in the backyard and helping the Gao family frame the second room. Even if Feng did not participate in the plot to kill their family this time, she herself is not innocent.

Last time, because they didn't want to make a big deal out of it, they let the Gao family and the Feng family go, but it turned out to be a big mistake, causing more than a dozen dart masters and Shen Mama, Ling Feng, Jing Shan, and Qin Dafu to die tragically. Those who survived were also injured. It can be described as a heavy casualty.

Therefore, this time, Cen Erye and Cen Erniang are completely ruthless, and they want to make the Feng family, the Gao family, and the third master pay the price for what they have done! There are also the tall master and the second master, as the elder brother, no matter how good he teaches the third master, he should also be punished if he is allowed to behave indiscriminately.

In the letter that Second Master Cen wrote to Cen Moshan, there was another paragraph to the effect that Cen Moshan could use this matter to suppress the senior master and the third senior master, and weaken the power of the Gao family.

This is mainly because Cen Moshan has been an official in the court for more than ten years, and he is tactful and not profit-driven, and he generally likes to leave room for doing things. Second Master Cen was afraid that he would be soft-hearted at the critical moment, and would not wipe out the Gao family, leaving room for the Gao family and the third master of Gao to turn over, so that they would have the opportunity to continue to murder their family in the future, so he reminded one or two.

In the Cen family, Cen Moshan could even sway the opinions of the patriarchs and clan elders. Therefore, his position and attitude are very important. Therefore, Cen Erye asked Cen Erniang to hand over all her evidence and some of the more critical evidence in the hands of Governor Sun to Lin Siye and send it to Cen Moshan.

Lin Siye quickly whipped up, took a shortcut, and it only took two days to deliver the letter to Cen Moshan.

Cen Moshan read the letter, asked Lin Siye some words, and left Lin Siye to live in his house for two days, sent his cronies to inquire around, and after confirming that Lin Siye and what he said in the letter were true, he wrote back to Cen Erye, saying that he would handle the matter properly, so that Cen Erye could rest assured that no one would endanger the safety of their family in the future.

On the day that Lin Siye brought the letter to Cen Erye, Governor Sun went to the branch of the Hongwei Dart Bureau on Zhuque Street to visit Cen Erye and told him that he had ordered the murderer to be severely punished, so that their family could recuperate with peace of mind.

Half a month later, Lin Siye went to visit Governor Sun's mansion, and learned from him that all the black-clothed people who were arrested were sentenced to be executed, as for the main culprit behind the scenes, the Gao family and the third master, because the Gao family came forward, they were sentenced to be beheaded after the fall of next year, and even the tall master and the second master were also angrily reprimanded by the saint and demoted to remote areas as officials.

Soon, the steward of the Liu family came to Zhanzhou Mansion in person and brought a letter written by Liu Shangshu, Mrs. Liu and the two young ladies of the Liu family to Cen Erye and Cen Erniang.

In his letter to Second Master Cen, Liu Shangshu probably talked about the situation of the Gao family and the fate of the Gao family and the third master of Gao, which was consistent with what Governor Sun said, but it was more detailed than what he said.

Mrs. Liu and the two young ladies of the Liu family, in addition to comforting Cen Erniang in the letter, also told her that Feng and Cen Yulian were secretly sunk in the fish pond by Cen San, and announced to the public that they both died violently. As for Cen Yulian's wife, Leng, because she didn't know that Cen Yulian and Feng had an affair, she became the most profitable person in Xifu. Now the Leng clan is temporarily in charge of the middle feed of the West Mansion.

In a letter to Cen Erniang, the two young ladies of the Liu family mentioned a secret matter about Cen San's master, which surprised Cen Erniang.

It turned out that Master Cen San had raised an outer room outside. And it is said that there is still a male fetus in the outer chamber, and it has been five months. A few days before Gao's arrest and imprisonment, she sent Mama Zhao to take someone to feed the outer room with fierce medicine, which had already been miscarried.

I heard that because Mama Zhao's medicine is too strong, it is impossible for the outer room to have any more pregnancies in the future. When the third master learned of this, he was furious, and in front of Feng's family, he killed Mama Zhao and her two sons who helped Mama Zhao commit the murder, and threatened to divorce Gao, but was pressed down by the tall master.

Later, the third master Cen sent the outer room with silver, bought two younger and more beautiful women from good families to enter the house, and took two beautiful concubines who were as delicate as water to show off their power in front of the Gao family, and also sternly warned the Gao family that he was not allowed to embarrass his beautiful concubines again, saying that if there was a problem with the two concubines, he would ask the Gao family. Gao was angry with him.

At the end of the letter, Miss Liu told Sรน Cen Erniang that when the officers and soldiers entered the Cen Mansion to arrest Gao, she had been lying in bed for three or four days, and she was mentally depressed. Now that she has been imprisoned, it is estimated that she will die of illness in prison if she is beheaded after next autumn. They said that not only Gao's fate was bleak, but the third master of high school was no better than her. After his accident, his wife and children went to the government to write a book, cut off relations with him, and returned to his parents' family with his few family fortunes.

The two young ladies of the Liu family comforted Cen Erniang, don't be too sad, the wicked will eventually have bad retribution.

In the end, they also told Cen Erniang that Liu Shangshu and Cen Moshan had warned the tall master and the second senior master respectively, if Cen Erniang and their family had another accident, it would be on the head of the Gao family. Therefore, the Gao family will not embarrass them in the future, so that Cen Erniang can rest assured.
