Chapter 194: The Truth About the Matou Mountain Robbery
Seeing that Dong Wenyin was still holding on, Xuanzhou Taishou Zhu Mengzhen was not in a hurry, and continued, "Lord Dong has been hiding in Tibet for this month, and perhaps he doesn't know that the imperial court has sent Si Litai's doctor He Ruming He to Qi County to investigate the case of the Wolong Causeway burst. Lord He has found out that eighty percent of the millions of silver allocated by the imperial court to Qi County for repairing the embankment have flowed into Lord Dong's pocket......
Dong Wenyin finally couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted with a lack of energy, "The lower official was wronged!"
Zhu Mengzhen was still calm, "Lord Dong also knows that the imperial court pays attention to evidence in handling cases. Now that there are all the human and material evidence, just one sentence from Master Dong will not be able to overturn the case."
He can't afford the crime of killing hundreds of thousands of people in Sanzhou, and neither can the Dong family, King An's Mansion didn't keep his promises, treated him as an outcast, and pushed the Dong family into the fire pit!
Dong Wenyin's expression was so complex that it was difficult to describe it in words, "Xia Guan did move some silver to repair the embankment for other purposes, but what Xia Guan took away was only a fraction of the hair, and the big head was taken away by Yuan Liang and Zhao Lusheng who were stationed at Wolong Embankment."
Zhu Mengzhen put on a look of disbelief, "Lord Dong wants to get rid of the crime, and you should find someone similar to help you take the blame, how can General Yuan Liang be greedy for ink and silver."
Dong Wenyin sneered, gasped, and said after a while, "Yuan Liang in the past was indeed a well-known hero, but the current Yuan Shoujiang has long been a dog of King An's son. One wrong step, one wrong step, Xia Guan admitted it this time. But with the shrewdness of you and Lord He, how can you not see the authenticity of the accounts?"
Yuan Liang was not just greedy for some silver, but completely rebelled against King An? Shen Cunyujian's eyebrows outside the screen were pressed down, and his gaze was sharp.
The door opened silently, and Changshi Ye Changjun walked in with Lin Ruyu lightly.
Shen Cunyu restrained his murderous aura, said hello to Ye Changjun, and beckoned Lin Ruyu to come over. Lin Ruyu walked to Shen Cunyu's side, and Ye Changjun bypassed the screen and entered the inner room.
Seeing that Ye Changjun was coming, Zhu Taishou continued, "If these charges are confirmed, Lord Dong will take hundreds of clansmen to meet the ancestors of the Dong family. The Dong clan in Ningzhou was killed because of Lord Dong, I don't know how Lord Dong faced the ancestors of the Dong family when he arrived under the Yellow Spring?"
These words were ruthless enough, and Lin Ruyu secretly praised Zhu Taishou.
Those who can get mixed with the county order are not fools. Dong Wenyin sneered twice, "Adults don't need to scare the lower officials by scaring the ignorant people, you can directly show the lower officials a clear way."
Zhu Taishou no longer detoured, "The old man asked Lord Dong three things, if Lord Dong told him the truth, the old man will try his best to intercede for the innocent people of the Dong family in front of Long Live ".
Dong Wenyin was silent for a moment before he said, "My lord, just ask."
Lin Ruyu held her breath and listened. After rescuing Dong Wenyin, she begged Zhu Taishou to ask about the Matoushan case when she interrogated Dong Wenyin and allowed her to sit in on it. Zhu Taishou sent someone to invite her over and let her enter the screen, obviously to ask about Matoushan's case.
"First, on July 15 last year, the mother and son of the Lin family in Xuanzhou were robbed in Matou Mountain, and more than 30 people were killed. Who is the real culprit in this case?"
Unexpectedly, the first thing Zhu Taishou asked was actually a small case in Matoushan. Dong Wenyin paused before he said, "Prince An wants to win over the Xuanzhou businessmen and families for his use, and let Xu Luyuan arrange a proper identity for him in Xuanzhou, and Xu Luyuan chose the Xuanzhou Lin family. The Lin family is very rich, the people are simple, and there is a beautiful daughter in the family, Xuanzhou, the son of King An, can do things when he stays in the Lin family, and there are beauties to accompany him, the best of both worlds." Chinese Net
It's the best of both worlds! Lin Ruyu lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered rapidly.
Zhu Taishou asked again, "Is it Xu Luyuan who colluded with the mountain bandits in Matou Mountain to let them capture Lin Kangnian's wife and daughter?"
"The details are not known. Xia Guan just heard Fan Genyuan mention it, and Xu Luyuan designed that after getting rid of Lin Ruyu's grandfather, mother and younger brother, he would arrange a good show for Wang An to save the beauty of the hero."
Speaking of this, Dong Wenyin paused and sneered, "Who knew that his plan was not Zhou Xiang enough, and he actually let Lin Ruyu escape from the mountain bandits. Fan Genyuan asked people to rummage through Matou Mountain and Wusha Town, but they couldn't find Lin Ruyu's whereabouts. You will know what happened next, my lord."
Their grandfather was also killed by them, Lin Ruyu clenched his fists.
Shen Cunyu raised his hand
Lin Ruyu took it into her arms and patted it gently. Coming out of the inner room, Changshi Ye Changjun, who was going to invite Lin Ruyu out, saw this scene and didn't know what to do.
In the back room, Zhu Taishou continued to ask, "How did the Wolong Causeway burst the embankment?"
Dong Wenyin said, "Xia Guan got the news from King An's Mansion in advance, saying that there was too much rain last year, and the Wolong Causeway was unstable, and it was likely to be washed away by the flood on July 30, but I didn't expect that on July 15, the Wolong Causeway collapsed."
In the back room, Zhu Taishou confirmed, "King An's Mansion sent you a letter saying that Wolong Causeway will collapse at the end of July?"
"Yes."
These are really not what Lin Ruyu can hear, Ye Changshi stepped forward and arched his hand to Shen Cunyu.
Shen Cunyu let go of the delicate child in her arms and motioned for her to go out with Ye Changjun first.
Out of the house where the officers and soldiers were handled, Ye Changjun said in a low voice, "Miss Lin's mourning, don't mention today's events to outsiders."
"Thank you, my lord, the folk girl understands." Lin Ruyu saluted Ye Changshi, covered her head with the hat on her cloak, followed the Yacha out of the back office through the small door to deliver vegetables, and got into the carriage to return to Qingyi Lane.
When Fang saw his daughter come back, he let go of his hanging heart and asked her how things were going.
Lin Ruyu pulled her mother into the bedroom and told the story in a low voice. After hearing this, Fang closed his eyes for a long time before he said, "Jiaojiao, we are too weak, we must become stronger."
If it is not strong, even if you have thousands of family wealth, you can't keep it, but it will invite trouble. Don't say anything about scattering your family wealth to keep you safe, if your family wealth is scattered, someone will bully you to the door.
Lin Ruyu hugged her mother, "Dong Wenyin only knows that he is Xu Luyuan's grandfather, but I don't know how he harmed him. The daughter guessed that it might be the second uncle's hand, because Fang Caiwang's grandson hadn't been arrested at that time."
"There's no one else but him." Fang's heart is not good, Lin Jinzong is the younger brother of his father-in-law and his mother, what did Xu Luyuan promise him, so that he could attack his brother, "Their father and son are still locked up in prison, let's ask the yamen to go to the court again to try the murder of your grandfather."
"Lord Taishou wants to hide the fact that Dong Wenyin was rescued, so it is impossible to ascend to the court to retry Lin Jinzong's father and son." Lin Ruyu discussed with her mother, "Mother, my daughter wants to go to the prison to ask for clarification in the name of visiting the prison."
"Jiaojiao stays at home, mother." Fang's father must find out the cause of his father-in-law's death, otherwise she will not be able to face her father-in-law, her husband who has gone to sea and her conscience.
Lin Ruyu insisted, "Mother, my daughter is going too."
