Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has been bent on rectifying the rule of officials, and most of these old ministers in the court look down on him, and he is bent on supporting his own forces. Now he has proposed to reorganize the cabinet, which makes Xun Jian and several other old ministers anxious.

Not long after he arrived home, he hadn't taken off his official uniform, and a little servant came to report: "Master, someone from Xinghua Lane said that Miss Xie invited the master to come and sit." ”

Xun Jian was exhausted, where did she have the heart to have a tryst with Ruolan, so she didn't take it to heart, and on the second and third days, Ruolan still sent someone to spread the word, and Xun Jian was troubled.

He was afraid that the news would reach Liu's ears and make a fuss about it, which would make people even more unquiet at that time, so he decided to go to see Ruolan.

Before he went out, he happened to meet Xun Shao coming back, and Xun Jian saw that his son had to admonish: "Now that the limelight is not good, you don't go out less, and stay at home with your wife and children with peace of mind." ”

"Father, did you hear anything?" Xun Shao's face was solemn.

"It is said that in order to rectify the rule of officials, the cabinet must be opened first, and the intention will be opened next year, and the intention is already obvious. Try to keep a low profile and don't cause trouble. ”

Xun Shao nodded in agreement, because Ruolan made him feel a little weak after seeing his father.

"It's getting late, is my father going out too?"

Xun Jian said: "I have something urgent to go out, and your mother said that she didn't need to leave me food." ”

Xun Shao agreed, he sent his father out of the gate, and then went to the inner house.

Xun Jian took a sedan chair to Xinghua Lane, the alley was quiet, she had never heard her pipa sound since Ruolan had a miscarriage last winter, and Xun Jian suddenly felt a little lonely in her heart.

After he saw Ruolan, he saw Ruolan's sideburns, and she was not as well-behaved and lovely as before, but she couldn't stop wiping her tears. Xun Jian was a little surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "My little Jiaojiao, what are you doing?" ”

Ruolan saw that it was Xun Jian, and immediately knelt down for Xun Jian, she grabbed Xun Jian's robe, and begged bitterly: "My lord, my lord, the slave has been bullied, please be the master of the slave." ”

Xun Jian was puzzled, when did he see a woman crying like this, he stretched out his hand to help Ruolan up, and asked patiently: "Little Jiaojiao, what are you doing?" Tell me and I'll call the shots for you. ”

Ruolan cried even more, Xun Jian was a little helpless in the face of women's tears, and inevitably comforted Ruolan, and waited until Ruolan's mood stabilized, Ruolan slowly spoke: "A few days ago, the uncle in the house came to me drunk out of nowhere...... And then...... He did something to me...... My lord, you treat the slave well, and the slave really wants to serve the adult. But where can the slave stand this breath, and please be the master of the slave. ”

Xun Jian's eyes straightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Xun Shao really did it to you?" ”

Ruolan pulled her clothes down, her snow-white skin had obvious bruises, this was the mark left by Xun Shao on her body, she finally waited for the opportunity to show Xun Jian, Xun Jian saw that his eyes had erupted fire, and he said angrily: "This brute, what is he going to do, my Jiaojiao, don't cry, I will beat and scold him to give you a good breath." ”

"The slave has no father and mother, no support, fortunately, the adult treats me coldly and hot, and now the slave has suffered such humiliation and has nowhere to say, only ask the adult to be the master of the slave." Ruolan looked pitiful.

Xun Jian came out of Ruolan's room, he was already on fire, and later found Long Mei and asked, "Did Xun Shao come to this a few days ago?" ”

Long Mei shook her head tremblingly: "The slave doesn't know? ”

Xun Jian kicked Long Mei at that time, and he went back angrily. The servant woman hiding in the shadows couldn't help but be shocked when she saw this scene, this Xie family is really not a safe person, and now she is only afraid that she is looking for death in such a life.

said that Xun Jian returned home angrily, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Go and tie up that rebel for me." ”

I didn't know what was going on at the moment, and I saw that Xun Jian was angry, so I had to call Xun Shao.

Xun Shao saw that his father was angry, and he couldn't help but be careful: "Father, you're back." ”

Xun Jian threw an inkstone on the bookcase at Xun Shao's body at that time, Xun Shao didn't dodge, and hit him at that time. He immediately knelt down for Xun Jian: "Daddy, please calm your anger." What did my son do wrong, please point it out, and my son must change it. ”

Xun Jian heard this "Daddy", and his mind seemed to be clearer: "You went to Xinghua Lane a few days ago, haven't you?" You went to provoke Xie Ruolan? ”

Xun Shao was stunned for a moment, he naturally didn't want to admit it: "Father, I know that it is your woman, how can I ...... Please also ask my father not to be deceived. ”

"Then I ask you, where did the bruise on her chest come from?"

"How does my son know?" He would not admit that he did it when he died, and then said: "Father, that Xie family girl is a dust girl, you are not happy to raise her mother, she is a member of the Xie family, what is the purpose of approaching you, don't you guard against her and let her provoke our father-son relationship?" ”

Xun Jian originally wanted to beat his son, but he didn't expect to be preached by his son, he gradually sobered up, and said, "We were used by that slut." ”

"Father, this woman is only afraid that it will be a disaster, so it is better to get rid of her as soon as possible." Ruolan is her weakness, and he wants to destroy her, starting with ruining Ruolan.

Get rid of her?! Xun Jian's mind was full of Ruolan's shadow. At the beginning, he just wanted to humiliate the Xie family, so he brought Ruolan back from Yangzhou. But when the thing was raised, I didn't expect this woman to show her true face. Her surname is Xie, and her surname Xie is the sworn enemy of their Xun family, because of this woman, their father and son almost had a dispute. This woman is indeed a scourge.

Xun Jian closed his eyes, and he said to his son, "I know, you go down." ”

Xun Shao didn't know if his father had made up his mind, but he knew that there were some things that he couldn't touch a second time.

Xun Jian spent the night in the study, and went to the palace to go to the morning court before dawn. There was a voice in the early court saying that Yuanjia's eight-year Xie case needed to be retried, and his body stiffened, and secretly said that after so long, can the Xie case be overturned?

Unexpectedly, the emperor said: "The Xie clan has loyally guarded the north for my Great Chu for decades, but because someone accused him of associating with the enemy country and was punished with death, although five years have passed since this matter, it is said that the original conviction was in a hurry, and there is no full evidence." Now that the world has changed, if the Xie family is really wronged, they should also return the Xie family's innocence and restore their reputation. I ordered Chu Yuanzhen, the second son of King Rong, to retry the case for the supervision of the imperial history assistant Dali Temple. ”

Xun Jian was shocked, and the new emperor's words made the Xie case retried? He couldn't mess up before he arrived, it was the emperor who made up his mind to deal with the Xie family, and it had nothing to do with him.
