Chapter 50: Coaxing

Just as Zuo and Jiang were struggling with the case, Lu Fuzhi suddenly returned.

He was still holding the dossier he had taken away before, with a bit of strange excitement on his face, he didn't care about the previous disagreement with Jiang Xiaoquan, and said with bright eyes: "Pingnan Hou Mansion...... And the Cao family, sent someone to deceive Xie Pu! ”

Zuo and Jiang were immediately attracted to attention. Zuo Zhaozhi couldn't help but ask, "Really?" How did the visitor deceive him? Even Jiang Xiaoquan, who has always had a straight face, raised one eyebrow, revealing an expression of interest.

Lu Fuzhi happily put the file in his hand on the table next to him, and replied: "I don't know if it was those deceptive words that Cao came up with, or if there was a draft drafted by someone else who helped her." If I hadn't heard the truth of the matter from Xie Pu's second daughter, I would have believed it. And although Xie Pu knew the truth earlier, looking at his expression when he listened to those words, I was afraid that he had not hesitated. The Cao family is really black-hearted, let alone a son-in-law, even a nephew, he doesn't let it go! ”

It turned out that a carriage had just come from Pingnanbo's Mansion, carrying a man and a woman. The man is the butler of Ping Nanbo's cronies who has been here once before, but the woman is Gui Zhen, the big girl who is waiting by Cao's side.

Gui Zhen went to visit Qian's mother first. Although Lu Fuzhi had previously ordered that no one was allowed to visit Qian's mother before getting permission from the officials of Dali Temple, Pingnanbo's Mansion was obviously very powerful, and he was allowed to enter smoothly, and even the errand officer who was supposed to accompany him all the way into the house stayed and waited not far from the entrance, and did not follow him to the front of the cell. Therefore, no one knows what Gui Zhen specifically said to Qian's mother.

Lu Fuzhi could only ask people to find out from the mouth of a female prisoner in another nearby cell that Gui Zhen said something to let Qian's mother wait for good news with peace of mind, the main family will take care of her family, and will definitely save her.

After telling Qian's mother, Gui Zhen met with another person and went to see Xie Pu instead. Judging from this order, Pingnanbo Mansion seems to pay more attention to Qian's mother.

In front of Xie Pu, Gui Zhen had another face.

She first cried bitterly in front of the male host, saying that Xie Pu's case was very troublesome, and the main mother Cao was worried that she was sick, how worried, she couldn't sleep all night. Then, she began to deceive.

Gui Zhen described this case as not Wang Angui framing Xie Pu, but a rumor deliberately spread by some ill-intentioned people, in fact, Wang Angui did not really lie and hurt others, but was forced to change his confession in order to save himself. As for the person who is calculating behind his back, it is naturally the Lin family. Lin Dongnan, the governor of the Yamen of Hedong River, that is, the proprietor of Li Changsheng, was the mastermind of this case.

Lin Zhaoyi of the Lin family has been in the palace for many years, and has always been very favored by the emperor, but she was suppressed by Empress Cao, and she is only a Zhaoyi so far, and even Concubine Xiao Guifei, who entered the palace later, surpassed her early in position. Lin Zhaoyi and the Lin family have long been very dissatisfied with the Cao family and the crown prince. Now the second prince born by Lin Zhaoyi is fourteen years old, brave and martial, and born very much like the emperor, and is extremely favored. Lin Zhaoyi and the Lin family thought that he had great hope of replacing the crown prince, who was not liked by the emperor, and became the new prince. Therefore, in order to attack the Cao family and cut off the prince's wings, they came up with a poisonous plan and attacked the Cao family.

Wang Angui's case was just a coincidence, but the Lin family took the opportunity to burn the fire to the Cao family, for fear that the relationship between the Wang family and the Cao family's in-laws was not close enough, and they also implicated the Cao family's serious son-in-law Xie Pu.

It happened that Lin Dongnan, the governor of Hedong River, found that his staff Li Changsheng and Xie Pu had known each other for many years and had exchanged letters, suspecting that Li Changsheng was a traitor planted by the Cao family, so he simply killed Li Changsheng and forged a suicide note to frame Xie Pu. In fact, Xie Pu is just a chess piece for them, and the real purpose of the Lin family is to involve the prince in the corruption case of Hegong Silver and tarnish his reputation. Of course, some of the embezzled river workers were swallowed up by corrupt officials such as Wang Angui, but in fact, most of them were hidden by Lin Dongnan, in order to frame the officials who were sheltered by the Cao family!

It's just that in this process, Lin Dongnan didn't watch out for Li Changsheng leaving some evidence against them, and he asked someone to find out, so he fell into a bad situation. But in order to get rid of the crime, it is even more impossible for them to let Xie Pu go, and they must nail the Cao family's crimes to the death in order to clear their suspicions.

Probably because the Lin family is too crazy, and Lin Zhaoyi and the second prince are too favored in front of the emperor, even if the Cao family has Empress Cao and the crown prince as help, they can't easily rescue Xie Pu. The relationship between the two rooms of the Cao family has always been poor, and Queen Cao doesn't look down on her half-sister Cao, so she wants to stand idly by and use Xie Pu as a shield to let the case end in him, saving the need to implicate the Chengenhou Mansion, and further implicate her and the prince.

Now that the palace and the Chengenhou Mansion have expressed their intention not to help, Pingnanbo Mansion has a headache if they want to save people. On behalf of the master, Ping Nanbo's trusted steward expressed to Xie Pu Ping Nanbo's determination to save people, but at the same time, he also said frankly that Xie Pu wanted to prepare for the worst. Ping Nanbo will try his best to save his life, but he will not dare to pack the ticket.

Gui Zhen helped persuade Xie Pu: "Mrs. cried so much that her eyes were swollen, and she knelt on the ground, begging her uncle to save her master, but the uncle was also powerless, so he could only say that he did his best and obeyed the fate of heaven." The wife asked the slave to tell the master a word, stay in the green mountains, and be afraid of running out of firewood. The Lin family is full of evil this time, and if they want to escape responsibility, the Hou Ye and the uncle will not let it go. The lord also did his part here to pull Lin Dongnan off the horse, the Lin family was greatly injured, and it was not so easy to cause trouble for the queen mother and His Royal Highness the prince in the future. When the prince's position is stable, are you afraid that there will be no day when you will wash away the grievances for the lord in the future? On that day, there will be no obstacles in front of the queen mother and His Royal Highness the Prince, and they will definitely not let the lord be wronged again! ”

Gui Zhen was clever in her tongue, saying that the Cao family was in trouble, but also vaguely hinting that Xie Pu still had hope to save his life, and also implying that Xie Pu had fabricated a confession and accused Lin Dongnan, thinking that he planned to do so in the future. If Xie Pu hadn't known from his daughter Xie Yingzhen that he had fallen into his current situation, but that the Cao family had conspired with Pingnan Bofu to kill her, maybe he would have believed her. Even if he knew that he didn't know anything about Lin Dongnan's involvement in the case, he had to beat the other party and take revenge on the so-called "culprit" Lin family.

Xie Pu was shocked into a cold sweat at that time, and his face was pale. However, his state convinced Gui Zhen and the steward of Pingnanbo Mansion that he had fooled Xie Pu.

Gui Zhen also proposed to Xie Pu that while the current opportunity was still in time, he would first transfer part of the family's property, lest the Lin family be ruthless, and the Xie family would not even be able to keep their wealth and money, and the family would live on the streets.

The Cao family has already agreed with Pingnan Bofu, and also went to ask for the grace of Queen Cao, and Queen Cao promised to keep the lives and innocence of a pair of children from the Cao family, but the Cao family needs to pretend to be reconciled with Xie Pu first, and bring the children back. At that time, the two children will not be implicated by their father, and the Xie family will also keep a root. The rest of the old and weak women and children, the Lin family must not take it to heart.

In order to move Empress Cao, the Cao family promised to donate half of the family property, and the remaining half was handed over to her children. Xie Xian Yiyi has always been a filial and sensible child, and with property in his hands, he will naturally support his grandmother and younger siblings, and even the mother and son of the Wen family in the second room can also benefit. Pingnanbo's Mansion will shelter the Xie family and not let Xie Pu have any worries.

Gui Zhen cried to Xie Pu: "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." Madame had prepared for the worst. If there is really no way to save the old man in the end, these properties will not be the hope of the old lady, the second wife, the young master and the young lady to be rich and safe for a lifetime......"
