At the end of June, it rained heavily in the capital, and in the midst of the heavy rain, a team of soldiers wearing armor surrounded the Su family, and after a while, there was a cry of grabbing the sky and the earth, and then everyone in the Su family was put on thick iron chains.

The holy decree has been issued, the Su family will be confiscated today, the man will be beheaded at noon gate three days later, and the female dependents will be exiled to the frontier as officials and maids, and they will never be allowed to return to Beijing.

In the mansion of the Marquis of Dingyuan, the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan, Yuan, cried and shouted to her husband Wei Qianjie, the Marquis of Dingyuan, who was sitting there: "You quickly take the sword of the gold-free monk Fang to save my sister's family, but a few lowly people have died, how can you confiscate the Su family, the emperor's heart is too ruthless, it is also his wife's aunt's house, he really doesn't talk about it at all!" ”

Dingyuan Marquis Wei Qianjie glared at his wife with a calm face, and said angrily: "Listen to what you said, what do you mean to kill a few lowly people, if this spreads, my Hou Mansion will also be scolded." I had warned Su Yong a long time ago not to be too greedy and do too much, but he didn't listen at all, let alone control his son. ”

"Brother Qiang is not doing it right, but after all, he is young, and he is spoiled by his family, and now he has one breath left, and most people will probably not survive, and use his life to resist the sins of the Su family, can't he!" Yuan said as a matter of course.

"You-" Wei Qianjie was so angry that he almost couldn't speak, "Who do you think this court belongs to, now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are targeting the Su family, and the emperor is even more determined to run the Su family, no one can save them this time!" ”

When Yuan Shi heard this, he simply stepped forward and grabbed Wei Qianjie's sleeve, his attitude softened a little, and he pleaded: "But you are the Marquis of Dingyuan, you have a gold medal in your hand, you can always ask the emperor to be extra kind and spare their family, as long as people don't die, there will always be a way to make them rise again in the future." ”

"Impossible!" Wei Qianjie saw that the Yuan family was bent on saving his sister Su Yong's family, and decisively refused, "Don't be confused in this matter, even if my gold medal for avoiding death wants to save people, it should be saved by the descendants of my Wei family, could it be that your sister is more important than your children and grandchildren!" ”

Yuan Shi was stunned, she only thought about saving her sister's family, but she forgot that there was only one gold medal for avoiding death, and there was only one family that could be saved.

"Then there's really nothing to be done?" Thinking of the suffering of her sister's family, Yuan's heart was very sad, she thought that with the ability of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the queen's daughter, she would be able to keep the Su family safe.

Wei Qianjie's eyes darkened, his eyes narrowed into a slit, he knew very well that the emperor's move was obviously against the Su family, but in fact he was warning him that the power of the Wei family had made the emperor uncomfortable, if he kept to himself in the future, it might be fine, and if he continued to commit crimes like the Su family, the emperor would be ruthless.

"Tell the people in the house, don't let me go out to make trouble in the future, now the eldest prince has not been established as the crown prince, I am afraid that the position of the prince will be variable, only to protect the position of the queen and the eldest prince in the palace, my Wei family can be rich and glorious for a long time. You should also persuade your daughter, don't always wring with the emperor, she will only suffer in the end! After speaking, Wei Qianjie, Marquis of Dingyuan, threw up his sleeves and left, leaving Yuan Shi to sit on the chair dejectedly.

When Lin Shuran learned that the Su family was being copied, she was talking to Honggu in the room, and Chunxi rushed in in the rain with a happy smile on her face.

"Miss, it's really happy, the Su family has been copied, I heard that the Su family has as many as 10,000 hectares of fertile land that has encroached on the people in various places, and has set up various names to avoid land taxes, and the cellars in the house are buried with gold, and now they are all returned to the treasury!" Chunxi told Lin Shuran the news that he would go out to investigate.

"Su Yong is just a household servant, he is greedy for so much land, other officials don't know what it looks like, people used to say that Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, this should be true!" Lin Shuran said with emotion.

"What Miss said is very reasonable, but there will always be good officials in this world, the slave maid thinks that the new Shichuan County magistrate is very good, listening to Steward Zhang of the Grange, he is simply a god in judging the case, and he is dedicated to the people to avenge their grievances!" Chunxi has been back to the southern suburbs of the Grange twice, and now the most discussed thing there is the Su family and the new county commander.

Lin Shuran saw the new county magistrate in Chunxi's mouth in Sujiazhuang that day, looking upright, shrewd and capable, but I don't know what this person is like, just looking at the surface can't see through a person, but she hopes that this county magistrate is really a good official as Chunxi said, and hopes that there will be more good officials in the Jin Dynasty in the future, only in this way will the people's lives get better and better, and the country will have a better future.

"Madam, Steward Zhang from the Southern Suburbs Grange is here!" At this moment, there was a maid outside the door, and Zhang Tang came to the General's Mansion.

Lin Shuran asked him to wait in the side hall, and when he saw Zhang Tang, he found that he was holding a green cloth package, so he asked him what he was doing in the house.

Zhang Tang respectfully handed the package to Lin Shuran with both hands and said: "Miss, there is a person in the village today, he said that his surname is Tao, his daughter was robbed by Su Sanqiang that day, it was the eldest young master who broke into Sujiazhuang to save his daughter for him." ”

Zhang Tang also said that the daughter of the old man Tao originally fainted and was thrown into the well, but she ordered the adult not to die, and the Fei County Order saved her and found a doctor for her treatment, and then sentenced the Su family to compensate them with 100 taels of silver.

Tao Laohan was very grateful to Xu Mingchen for their help, he was a carpenter, so he personally made some thank-you gifts to express his heart, he knew that Xu Mingchen's status was very high, and he was afraid that they would not look down on his gift, so he sent this gift to the Grange, and also expressed his gratitude.

Lin Shuran asked Xu Mingchen and Xu Mingye to call over, and briefly told them Zhang Tang's intention, and then looked at the green cloth package on the table and said: "This is people's gratitude to you, don't think things are expensive, your heart can be worth 10,000 gold!" ”

Xu Mingchen and Xu Mingye nodded yes, they thought that they had just done what they should have done, and they were ashamed to receive each other's gifts, but they were still very happy in their hearts.

So, the two of them decided to open the package in front of Lin Shuran, and after opening it, they found that there was a carved mahogany box inside, and when they opened the box, there were four exquisite beast unicorns carved from wood identically.

Lin Shuran's eyes lit up after seeing it, the wood carving process of this old man is really good, the hair on the unicorn is actually visible, and the demeanor is vivid, although it is the size of a palm, but it shows that the carving person is skilled.

"Can I meet this person?" Lin Shuran suddenly had the idea of meeting this old man Tao, this is a talent!
