Due to a sudden pregnancy, Vivien Leigh's plans to travel to the United States have been put on hold, and she has to stay in China to raise her baby with peace of mind.

Back in Tianjin, Zhou Hexuan was confined at home all day, reading, reading newspapers, writing, editing, and accompanying his wife and children, and his daily life was chic and fulfilling.

At this time, a big news suddenly broke in Beiping - when the five batches of hundreds of thousands of treasures from the Palace Museum arrived in Shanghai, Zhu Shusen, the prosecutor of the Nanjing Supreme Court, suddenly dispatched and took people to the Forbidden City by train to seize the accounting department, because someone accused Yi Peiji and Li Zongtong of embezzling and stealing cultural relics.

Who's doing the trick?

Of course, it is Zhang Ji, and his wife Cui Zhenhua.

Although Cui Zhenhua is a woman, she serves as a member of the Central Supervisory Committee of the Kuomintang and is not inferior to her husband in her position.

If Chu Minyi, Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan, is just afraid of guilt, then Zhang Ji is afraid of his wife to death.

Once, Zhang Ji's friend Peng Jiqun came to visit, and because the two had a good personal relationship, Peng Jiqun went directly into the house without waiting for the maid's report. It turned out that Zhang Ji was kneeling in the living room, and several of his children were standing around, and his wife Cui Zhenhua beat her husband with a leather whip in her hand, and the children were so frightened that they did not dare to persuade them.

Cui Zhenhua, who beat people, was a little embarrassed, but Zhang Ji, who was beaten, didn't care, and said: "Brother Peng, please don't care, my wife is a good person, let her be angry." Rao is Peng Jiqun is well-informed, and he has never encountered this kind of battle, so he is so embarrassed that he turns around and leaves.

On another occasion, Ju Zheng, member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang and president of the Legislative Yuan, went to Zhang Ji's home to pay New Year's greetings. When he came to the gate of Zhang's house, he found a toilet at the door, Ju Zheng felt very strange, and the people accompanying him said: Mrs. Zhang must have punished her husband for cleaning the toilet again.

Ju Zheng walked in curiously, only to see Zhang Ji kneeling in the living room, and he hurriedly ran to help. Zhang Ji waved his hand and said: "This is my family's business, please don't ask." Ju Zheng left in a hurry as long as he said a few words of greeting, and said to his companion after going out: "This Zhang Ji's good temper is used at home, and he is fighting with me." ”

Cui Zhenhua is actually very kind to people, graceful and dignified, quite like a lady, and everyone who doesn't know thinks she is a good woman.

However, the case of framing Yi Peiji for stealing and selling cultural relics was provoked by Cui Zhenhua, a tigress. She felt that her husband, who was the vice president of the Judicial Yuan and the chairman of the National Cultural Relics Management Committee, was unable to control the power of the Forbidden City, which was simply unforgivable.

Not only that, Yi Peiji also offended Cui Zhenhua before. At the beginning, Yi Peiji did not go to the Forbidden City to take up his post, and it was supposed that Vice President Zhang Ji should preside over the work, but Yi Peiji disagreed and said to people: "Puquan (Zhang Ji) has nerves, and he has to listen to the control of Mrs. Auditory Nerve (Cui Zhenhua), so he can't be allowed to be in charge of the Forbidden City." ”

Yi Peiji offended Zhang Ji and Cui Zhenhua and his wife because of this, Cui Zhenhua's new hatred and old hatred were counted together, and he was ready to put Yi Peiji to death.

Now Zheng Lie, the director of the prosecutor's office of China's Supreme Court, was picked up by Zhang Ji. Cui Zhenhua colluded with Zheng Lie, secretly conspired with many parties, and bribed witnesses at the same time, and immediately detained Yi Peiji for the crime of stealing and selling cultural relics, and sent prosecutors to the Forbidden City to detain relevant personnel.

After the incident, Yi Peiji resigned angrily and submitted a document to the Central Supervisory Commission of the Kuomintang, the Executive Yuan, and the Ministry of Justice, countersuing Cui Zhenhua and Zheng Lie for joint false accusations.

Cui Zhenhua is a real femme fatale, they bribed newspapers to report on Yi Peiji's embezzlement of cultural relics, and his whereabouts are unknown, it is possible that he absconded in fear of crime.

There was an uproar in the whole country, and Yi Peiji and his son-in-law Li Zongtong (secretary general of the Palace Museum) were instantly pointed out by thousands of people.

When Yi Peiji submitted his resignation and countersued Cui Zhenhua, Cui Zhenhua bought a newspaper to report that "Yi Peiji was ordered to leave his post", distorting "voluntary resignation" as "forced suspension".

Major newspapers followed up one after another, and the people saw that Yi Peiji had been "dismissed", and they were even more convinced that Yi Peiji and Li Zongtong were guarding and stealing.

Yi Peiji was speechless, so angry that he fell ill directly, and now he is just waiting for the court to open a trial. However, Cui Zhenhua played conspiracy again, and she took advantage of her position to transfer the case from the Supreme Court to the Nanjing District Court, which was full of Zhang Ji's promoted cronies, which was equivalent to being both a plaintiff and a referee.

The case was scheduled to be tried in February 1934, and Zhou Hexuan went to the Forbidden City in January to find Yi Peiji and ask: "Dean Yi, how are you prepared?" ”

Yi Peiji said angrily: "Uncle Xuan (Li Zongtong) has prepared everything, and I have also asked barrister Liu Chongyou to defend him." This case is nine out of ten, it is a complete frame-up, and I am in Peking with the good news that the truth has been revealed. ”

"You're not going to go to Nanjing to appear in court?" Zhou Hexuan was surprised.

Yi Peiji said: "No, I'm too lazy to confront those conspiracy villains." ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly: "If you don't appear in court in person, I'm afraid the newspaper will report it indiscriminately again, saying that you are weak and dare not show up." ”

Yi Peiji waved his hand and said: "Those who are clear will clear themselves, I believe that the law will return justice to me." Thank you Mr. Zhou for your kindness! ”

Zhou Hexuan persuaded: "Dean Yi, you'd better go to Nanjing in person." ”

"I really don't need it," Yi Peiji said with a sneer, "I haven't done those things, and the Nanjing District Court can't arbitrarily punish them." ”

Zhou Hexuan secretly sighed in his heart, the villain hides the cock, the gentleman takes the balls, Yi Peiji has to bear it this time.

When a Qing scholar encounters a bureaucratic villain, who will be unlucky and suffer, he can guess with his toes.

Sure enough, when the trial began in early February, although the barrister invited by Yi Peiji was very effective and made the plaintiff's lawyer speechless, the Nanjing District Court did not easily let Yi Peiji go, and only announced the postponement of the trial on the grounds that the case was complicated, and did not declare Yi Peiji innocent on the spot.

After the incident, Zhang Ji and Cui Zhenhua bought the newspaper again, hyping that Yi Peiji was weak and did not dare to appear in court.

The situation has developed to such a point that even if Mr. Yi eventually wins the case, his reputation will already be stinking and his political future will be almost completely ruined.

However, Zhang Ji and Cui Zhenhua did not intend to let it go, they wanted to completely kill Yi Peiji, and secretly supported the officials of the Procuratorate to seize the cultural relics that moved south, and invited cultural relics experts to identify them one by one.

It's a very big project, and it will take at least a few years to get it all identified. If a few fakes are identified, Yi Peiji is finished. Even if no fakes are found, Yi Peiji will not want to be an official in the past few years, because he is a "guilty body". What's even more terrifying is that after a few years, everyone has forgotten about this matter, even if Yi Peiji can prove his innocence, he is also a cultural relics thief in the eyes of the people, and the central government is hindered by negative public opinion, and it is absolutely impossible to reuse Yi Peiji.

The villain takes revenge, and the knife sees blood.
