Xie Mulin overheard the conversation between Cao and Fang Wenshan during a private meeting late at night, and told everything she knew.

Among them, she only concealed one thing, that is, the letter that was forged to frame Xie Pu was in her hands.

The letter was too bad for Xie Pu when it failed to prove its authenticity. After all, the handwriting is his, and the seal is his. What if it is regarded as real evidence by Dali Temple? So she only said that there was such a letter, and she didn't even hide Xie Yingrong's strange behavior, but she didn't say the specific content of the letter.

Of course, she also added oil and vinegar, expanded the conversation between Cao and Fang Wenshan a little bit, and added a little bit of the news she got from Xie Yingrong and Aunt Dajin. Anyway, it was impossible for the other three parties present at the time to refute her words, and any denial would be regarded as quibbling, what could they do to her?

In the end, Xie Mulin added another fire: "Uncle Niang also said impatiently to that General Fang, since she can't find the letter, it's better to ask someone to forge another letter, so as to save her from dragging her to the Xie family, not eating and sleeping well, and possibly getting sick." General Fang said that it was impossible, first, the true seal of his father was used on the letter at that time, and this true seal had been confiscated by the government and could not be used again; Second, the one who forged the letter was a master who was very good at imitating other people's handwriting, and Ping Nanbo used this person to forge many things, and the letter from his father was just incidental, but because of the importance of the matter, they were afraid that after the news leaked, it would bring great disaster, so they killed the master early. In their current hurry, they could no longer find someone equally capable to forge another letter, so they had to find the original one. ”

Xie Mulin looked at Xie Pu, for fear that he would miss the point under the shock, so he focused on the point: "I don't know whose handwriting they asked that person to forge, and how many harmful documents and letters they made." Daddy, you may be just their first target, they can kill people for a few letters, and I don't know how many shady conspiracies there are in the future. Dad must be cautious, tell Dali Temple everything he knows, tell the emperor, don't have anything to hide, let alone have any concerns, and take the responsibility that should not be borne by himself. Please also remember that you have an old mother, a wife and children, and countless industries in your family, and countless people who need to rely on you to survive under your shadow. Even for the sake of these hundreds or thousands of lives, you can't be confused! ”

Xie Pu's face, which had already lost its expression, was angry again. He looked at his children with red eyes, tears, and solemnly said, "Good boy, you are right!" ”

He raised his hand to wipe away his tears and covered his face: "I have been wrong for sixteen years...... It's time to set things right. "Even a woman from the Cao family can be ruthless to cut off the evil relationship, what else can he hesitate about? If you don't worry about the eldest son and eldest daughter, Cao's tiger poison will not eat her son, and once she is in trouble, doesn't she still have her own father?

Xie Xianzhi, Xie Yinghui, they are all surnamed Xie, and they can draw a clear line with the Cao family!

Xie Mulin has limited information, but Xie Pu is different. After listening to his daughter's account, although he was still shocked, he had quickly sensed the turn of his case.

Don't look at him as if he is about to oppose Empress Cao, the crown prince of the dynasty and the Cao family of the Cheng'en Hou Mansion, as if the ants are delusional that Tiankai is going to challenge the elephant, in fact, the Pingnan Bo Mansion and the Cao family and Fang Wenshan are not the same as the Empress Cao, the crown prince and the Cheng'en Hou Mansion.

has been the son-in-law of the Cao family for 16 years, and he knows the delicate and complicated relationship between the two branches of the Cao family. Ping Nanbo's conspiracy this time is only self-proclaimed, and may not be agreed by the elder lineage. As long as Empress Cao and the crown prince don't help Ping Nanbo and the Cao family, the latter will not be able to cover the sky with one hand.

And if Queen Cao and the crown prince really want to help, Xie Pu also believes that he is not a dead end. The emperor and queen have been out of harmony for many years, and the emperor's perception of Empress Cao and the Cao family is not so wonderful......

Xie Pu and the emperor were originally brothers-in-law, but they had never been looked at differently by the emperor before. However, when he returned to Beijing to report on his work because of his outstanding political achievements, the emperor found that he refused to obey the orders of the Cao family and did not want to be a henchman of the Cao family, so he was very happy and said in person that he wanted to promote him and reuse him. This time he was falsely accused by Wang Angui, and the reason why the emperor was angry was probably because he misunderstood that he was instructed by the Cao family to embezzle the river workers' silver to enrich the relationship between the Cao family, right? If he can prove his innocence, not only take the initiative to draw a line with the Cao family, but also slap the Cao family in the face openly, the emperor will feel happy even if he can't openly show support, right?

In fact, if it weren't for the last resort, Xie Pu wouldn't want to get involved in the battle between the emperor and the queen and the battle for the heir. After all, the queen just doesn't like the emperor, and there is nothing immoral about acting on weekdays, and the prince is even more gentle and praised. If it is a personal affair that leads to the instability of the rear position and the storage position, and causes turmoil in the court, this is not in line with the code of conduct of scholars.

However, as his daughter Xie Yingzhen said, there are so many people who rely on him to make a living, it doesn't matter if he dies himself, but he can't implicate so many lives, let alone sit back and watch traitors turn black and white upside down and kill Zhongliang. When necessary, he can only fight!

Xie Pu wiped his face again, calmed down, thought about it, and said to a pair of children: "I already know everything, don't worry, I have my own plans, and I won't make the Cao family happy." It's just that you're still young and can't get involved, so don't ask more. When you go back, you will take care of your family, honor your grandmother, cure your brothers and sisters, comfort your mother and aunts, and wait for my news. If there is a way, come and visit me every two days. If the Cao family says anything to you and coaxes you to do something, don't listen to them, just tell me the news when you come to see me, and I will tell you what to do. If you have the chance, bring your big brother back. As for your eldest sister......"

He paused: "It depends on her own wishes." If she prefers to stay in the Cao family, I won't stop her. She grew up with her mother since she was a child, and she was already closer to the Cao family in her heart, even if she returned to the Xie family, she would not have the same heart with us. ”

Xie Pu actually has a certain understanding of the temperament and thoughts of Cao's children, and he doesn't force it.

Xie Mulin and Xie Huizhi agreed. Xie Huizhi asked in a low voice: "What reliable relatives and friends does my father recognize, and we can ask him for help?" Even if we obediently wait for news at home, there must be news to wait. The Cao family turned their faces, and we didn't know who to ask. Earlier, the aunt mentioned a Master Wen, but the old lady reluctantly ......"

Xie Pu was stunned.

Xie Mulin nodded: "It's Lord Wen Xuyou." The mother said that he was a fellow villager, but the old lady refused when she heard it. The mother persuaded her that it was important to save her father at the moment, and she couldn't care about it, but the old lady was still reluctant. ”

Xie Pu closed his eyes, and he no longer had hope for his mother's confusion.

Xie Mulin continued: "Actually, it is not only a place to inquire about the news, if someone can help us with a little silver, it will be even better. We are almost out of the house, although we are living in Sister Qiao's house now, food and clothing are guaranteed, but Sister Qiao's family is not rich, their family only has a few taels of silver income every month, but these two days have spent dozens of taels for us. Next, I have to give the second brother a doctor to take medicine, and the old lady doesn't know what to ask. We can't hurt Sister Qiao's family, right? ”

Xie Pu sighed and rubbed his forehead with a headache.
