Chapter Forty-Eight: The Case Has Been Resolved

"Pei Shilang, I only learned the news of my father's death the day after the martial arts competition ended!" Liu Yi told Pei Xingjian about the situation reported by his family when he came back, "As for the invalidation of the qualification for the first place in Wuju, it is also impossible..."

In this era of the most filial piety, it is necessary to keep filial piety for his father for three years, even if Liu Yi has an official position now, he must resign, and after the expiration of the filial piety period, he can consider going out to do things. It's just that Liu Yi already has another general idea in his heart, but his father's matter has not yet been finalized, and the body has not been transported back to Chang'an for burial.

"The talent of the virtuous nephew is very different from ordinary people, and I think that one day I will be able to get ahead, but..."Pei Xingjian said and sighed slightly.

"What do you mean?" Liu Yi was puzzled, not knowing what Pei Xingjian was worried about.

"Something... Let's talk about it later! Pei Xingjian stroked his somewhat gray beard, shook his head, did not answer Liu Yi's question, but stood up, "After the matter is over, I will come to you to talk in detail, and then we will have a good chat for a while, and I will leave first..."

"That..."Liu Yi also hurriedly got up, "Pei Shilang walks slowly..."

"Don't send it, go talk to your mother, let her not be sad!" Pei Xingjian said, and strode out...

After Pei Xingjian left, several important ministers of the court came to Liu Fuzhong one after another, Dai Zhide, Zhang Da'an, Xue Yuanchao, Gao Zhizhou, etc., all of whom Liu Yi did not know, and they all came to express their condolences to Liu Xianli's death.

Judging from the actions of these courtiers, Liu Yi can already be sure that they all believe that their father Liu Xianli was defeated and captured because of Li Jingxuan, and eventually died of his injuries.

Seeing so many high-ranking officials in the court to visit the house, Liu Yi was quite emotional, in the previous times, the court condemned his own house, saying that it was because of his father that caused the defeat of the army, at that time no one came to condole, now said that such a thing happened in the court, after the emperor and the empress ordered a thorough investigation of the case, everyone felt that their father Liu Xianli's charges would be washed away, and there were more people who came to visit the house, Liu Yi really felt the heat and coldness of the world.

But Liu Yi can understand it when he thinks about it, a guilty minister, a minister who has been convicted by the imperial court, and really no one dares to visit, if it is really because of his father, which led to the defeat of the army, the families of tens of thousands of fallen soldiers will definitely hate their father very much, and the officials in the court will also blame their father, so who will come to visit?

In the following days, there were also officials who came to visit one after another, Liu Yi also received these visitors in the house, and waited for news, fortunately, the two domestic servants Liu Ning and Liu Zhong who were detained by Dali Temple were also released two days later, seeing that they were still in good condition, and should not have suffered anything. Liu Yi asked Liu Ning and Liu Ben, they just said that several high-ranking officials of the DPRK and China came to inquire about some information one after another, and the people in the detention place did not embarrass them, and after the matter was asked, they also let them go back to the house, which made Liu Yi also relieved, these two subordinates who made great contributions to the house, fortunately, there was no accident, otherwise the hearts of the people in the house would be scattered.

It's just that Liu Yi originally thought that Li Yiyan, Cen Changqian, Di Renjie and others who went to Qinghai to investigate the case would come to the house to inquire about some things about themselves, or pass on themselves to ask something, but they didn't, which made Liu Yi a little puzzled.

One of the officials who came to visit Liu's family left a deep impression on Liu Yi, that is, Wei Xuantong, who had just been promoted to the rank of servant by the imperial court a few years ago.

Wei Xuantong was recommended by Liu Xianli in the last Yuan Dynasty and served, the first governor of Qizhou, because of his outstanding ability and was recognized by the imperial court, and gradually promoted, this time Liu Xuanli was defeated, the court blamed Liu Xianli for being difficult, Wei Xuantong was not snubbed because he was recommended by Liu Xianli, just a month ago was entrusted with the important position of the servant of the ministry, Wei Xuantong was also after returning to Chang'an, the first time to visit Liu's mansion.

When Wei Xuantong came to the mansion, he was dressed in filial piety, and after entering the mansion, he also cried bitterly, knelt in front of Liu Xianli's spiritual seat and kowtowed, and was called "teacher".

The grace of knowing the encounter made Wei Xuantong show such a strong expression of emotion, so that Liu Yi and Zhang, who were accompanying him, also shed tears.

After Wei Xuantong got up, he also said to Zhang and Liu Yi that he had just returned to Beijing to take up his post and was busy with things, but he would definitely come to visit him often in the future, and asked Zhang and Liu Yi to rest assured that he would definitely run for the restoration of Liu Xianli's reputation.

Wei Xuantong already knew the general situation of the matter, and he didn't believe that it would be because of his mentor that led to this tragic defeat in Qinghai, since the imperial court had already sent someone to investigate, he would also pay close attention.

Wei Xuantong stayed in the mansion for most of the day, chatted a lot with Zhang and Liu Yi, and was also surprised by Liu Yi's unusual mind at such a young age, and praised Liu Yi for saying that he would definitely do something in the future.

Liu Yi also has a good impression of this kind-faced new servant, although he doesn't know what kind of person Wei Xuantong was in the original history, and he doesn't know where he ended up and what kind of deeds he did, but seeing his behavior and unusual conversation, he felt that he must be a very talented person.

The whole day was about receiving these officials from the court, which made Liu Yi very tired, but fortunately, the second uncle Liu Yansi came over and let him take on some less things.

After receiving the news of Liu Xianli's illness and death from his family, Liu Yansi asked himself to go to work and traveled hundreds of miles to return to Chang'an to mourn.

Although Liu Xianli's brothers said that they were not born to the same mother, the relationship between several people is very good, and after Liu Yansi arrived in the mansion, he also knelt in front of Liu Xianli's spiritual seat and cried for most of the day, looking heartbroken.

In order to mourn his eldest brother, Liu Yansi abandoned his official position and returned to Beijing, which was not simple, which moved Liu Yi very much.

After Liu Yansi returned to Beijing, he lived in Liu's mansion to help Liu Yi deal with some things, with such an elder in the mansion, Liu Yi also saved a lot of trouble, Liu Yansi has rich experience in dealing with people and things, and Liu Yi followed behind him, which also saved a lot of worry.

――――――――

On this day, to Liu Yi's surprise, Pei Xingjian, the servant of the ministry, came to visit again and told Liu Yi about the future.

Uncle Liu Yansi went out, and Liu Yi received Pei Xingjian alone.

"Virtuous nephew, I got a report from Cen Shilang in Shanzhou, and I will tell you as soon as possible!" Pei Xingjian was not polite, and said straight to the point.

"Pei Shilang, the case is already clear?" Liu Yi was overjoyed.

"Exactly!" Pei Xingjian nodded...
