The Liu family of the Liguo Mansion and the Ning Rongjia family could originally be said to be in the same spirit, but after the old man Daishan died of illness, the Liu family hooked up with the Huo family of the Nan'an Palace.

When the Jia family was at a low point, they suppressed the Jia family a lot, constantly eroding the forces that originally belonged to the Jia family, and pretending to be hello and I am good on the surface, which is very disgusting.

Second Master Lian saw all this in his eyes, although he didn't have much power in his hands, but he was bold and made a lot of friends.

For example, Ni Er, a "splasher" who often walks in front of Rongguo Mansion, has received Jia Lian's favor and helped him find out the news.

Liu Fang's vein has no male heir so far, and it is inseparable from the dark hand of the second master Lian.

The battle in the inner house of the Liguo Mansion can be said to be even more fierce than in the palace, and the second master of Lian only made a little effort, and someone took the bait.

Since Liu Fang's son Liu Zixin gave birth to two girls in a row, he obviously felt that he couldn't do it.

This is followed by a search for medicine and a variety of home remedies......

In this search, a mysterious doctor sent a secret medicine, so that Liu Zixin could regain his majesty, and he was not happy to gallop in the flower field.

But Xiongfeng is reinvigorated, but it just doesn't lay eggs~

Since then, there has been a crisis of heirs in the Liguo Mansion, and a full decade has passed, including Liu Zixin, among Liu Fang's sons-in-law, there is still no half of a cub with a handle.

Some people say that this is God's punishment for Liu Fang, when Old Man Liu died, he did it too ruthlessly.

Before the old father's bones were cold, he drove out all the brothers who came out of the house, and then he was suppressed and bullied.

But Jia Lian knew very well that it was all because of his revenge.

God never opens his eyes, people are like ants, only they are desperate.

"The men of the Liguo Mansion like to use a secret medicine, and if the secret medicine is used too much, it will lead to the failure of the heirs."

What Jia Lian said was vague, but the few people in the room were not stupid.

Even Master Zheng heard his nephew's words, his back was cold, and he jumped up from the chair and pointed at Jia Lian: "Lian'er, you ...... You...... You ...... This kind of pickling method is against the way of a gentleman, how can you use such means? ”

"Second uncle, at the beginning, the Liu family repeatedly humiliated and suppressed our Jia family, and the nephew has neither power nor power, and the way of a gentleman can't take revenge!"

Jia Lian's words directly scolded the old man back, and he knew the situation of the Jia family best as the temporary head of the family.

The Liu family followed the original alliance such as the Nan'an Wangfu and sucked blood on the Jia family, who was half-fallen to the ground.

In the most difficult time, the annual income of Rongguo Mansion could not support the consumption of the family, otherwise Wang Xifeng, the housekeeper, would use the dowry to supplement it, and he would be bewitched by Mrs. Wang to put the money in the seal.

The old lady's face darkened a lot, and she knew a lot of things, but she felt that it was just a temporary dilemma, just a foreign object, and she would give it up.

Without the alliance of the Four Kings and Eight Princes, can the Jia family still maintain the lintel of the Guogong Mansion?

The room became extremely quiet, and Jia Cong didn't expect his second brother to do so many things quietly.

In his impression, the second brother Jia Lian was a pure playboy and a gentleman at that time, and his only advantage was that he was good-looking, generous, and had a unique kindness.

For example, when a woman tickets are issued, she will give money, even if it is her own maid and daughter-in-law......

But it's just such a son-in-law, who turned a national mansion into an heir without anyone knowing.

Decisive, bold, and ruthless, this is Jia Cong's latest understanding of his second brother.

The old man is no longer able to criticize his nephew's ungentlemanly ways, and the old lady is not qualified to judge the righteousness and evil of his grandson's actions.

After a long silence, Master Forgiveness sighed: "It's because my father is incompetent, so my son is tired and takes risks." Don't do this kind of thing in the future, paper can't hold the fire, this kind of method is not good for your reputation. ”

Father rest assured, Liu Fang only has one breath left, as long as the time comes, his son will personally arrange the finishing touches. When the time comes, whoever you want to attack the lord, let whoever attack the lord......"

Jia Lian was full of confidence, obviously having already calculated.

He was about to elaborate on his plan, but he saw the old man wave his hand to stop: "Don't tell me, what your original plan was, just continue to do it." ”

The old lady also nodded, this kind of peerless incense calculation, the less people know about it, the better.

Master Yu suddenly looked at his youngest son: "You go and help your second brother, this matter will be handed over to your brothers, be sure to deal with the beginning and the end, don't make people suspicious of coming to our house." ”

……

Xue Pan's six rites went very fast, and he quickly finished the levy.

At the beginning of August, with the assistance of Daiyu, Jia Cong finished writing the first version of the notebook on economic development and moral construction, and sent it to Xufu to ask the teacher to review and guide.

The affairs of the court are in order, and recently, except for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the sage's Qiansu banquet activities, the yamen does not have much to do.

Jia Cong has been thinking about the follow-up plan of the second brother Jia Lian for the Liguo Mansion, but the second master of Lian didn't mention it at all as if nothing had happened.

Until this day, Xue Pan came to invite the Jia Lian brothers to go to Nanchi for a banquet.

Every time Xue Pan invites a banquet, it is either the Qinlou Chu Pavilion or the theater painting boat.

This time was no exception, Xue Pan wrapped up a painting boat, enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the lake in the south pool, and talked to his brothers about his wedding.

The singer on the boat was playing the lute and babbling and singing.

The two brothers Jia Lian and Jia Cong, plus Xue Pan's brother-in-law He Chong, after the four of them drank a few glasses, under the guidance of Jia Lian, the topic moved from Xue Pan's marriage to one of the hottest topics in the capital recently, Liu Zixin, the eldest prince of the Liguo Mansion.

Liu Zixin committed a crime, and it caused trouble to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

The bigwigs of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are already studying whether to report to the emperor and abolish Liu Zixin's inheritance.

As the eldest grandson of the Ministry of Rites, He Chong expressed the opinion of his grandfather, Lord He.

"Liu Zixin is suspected of killing the concubine, as long as this case is verified, my grandfather's opinion is that not only should Liu Zixin's inheritance be abolished, but also Liu Fang's godson should be investigated for the crime of having no way to teach his son and not governing the family strictly."

I'm waiting for your words!

Second Master Lian's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"The few gentlemen in the Liguo Mansion are all unsuccessful, and Liu Zixin is abolished, and the title is passed on to the remaining ones, which is also a change of soup and not of medicine. It's a pity that the prestige of Old Man Liu's life was finally ruined in the hands of such a group of unsuccessful descendants......"

He Chong agreed with Jia Lian's sigh very much, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the Liguo Mansion was powerful in the southwest, and Old Man Liu fought for the country all his life and made great achievements for the imperial court.

Today's Liu family is a group of powerless waste masters, which is really a shame for Old Man Liu.

Jia Congzheng talked to Xue Pan about his second sister's pregnancy, and his brother-in-law Liu Xianglian declined the invitation to the banquet today in order to take care of his wife, which seemed to remind Xue Pan.

He patted his brain: "Hey, speaking of which, Second Brother Liu is also the grandson of Old Man Liu, in my opinion, it is better to let Second Brother Liu inherit the ...... than to let those wastes in the Liguo Mansion inherit the title."

He Chong, who was discussing the tattered affairs of the Liguo Mansion with Jia Lian, was suddenly startled, and then looked at the Jia Lian brothers with a smile.

He is a wise man, and there is certainly no calculation at this feast today, but who would believe that what is discussed at this feast has no special meaning?

However, what does the people of the Liguo Mansion have to do with him He Chong, love to die or not to die.

But the Jia family and himself are now in-laws who are turning a corner, and if Liu Xianglian, who is the son-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, inherits the Liguo Mansion, it will also be a great help for the He family and for the future of He Chong.

He smiled and said, "What my brother said is that Liu Erlang is famous and has a valuable character, and he is indeed a good candidate to inherit the Liguo Mansion. It's a pity that he is only a branch of the Liu family, and there are still several descendants of the Liu family waiting in line. ”

"What's this, this time Liu Zixin's crime has implicated so many people, and there are few clean members of the Liu family, and they are almost wiped out. Instead of letting those wastes attack the lord, it is better to let Second Brother Liu become the heir with a concubine, and it is better to straighten out the mess of the Liu family. ”

Xue Pan didn't care about this, he felt that Second Brother Liu was not only handsome, but also his martial arts and character were the best choice.

The imperial court chose the second brother Liu to inherit the title of the Liguo Mansion, which is a wise person, and it can also bring a lot of good reputation to the imperial court, which is simply a few wins with one stone.

Having said that, as Liu Xianglian's wife and brother, Jia Lian is not good at keeping silent anymore.

He spread his hands and said regretfully: "I won't tell you that the day before yesterday, several old commanders of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies discussed the affairs of the Liu family together, and what Liu Zixin and others did was simply a shame on our martial artists." At that time, the old handsomes had a headache about the Liu family's inheritance, and I wanted to recommend my brother-in-law, but this kind of thing, my family is not easy to come forward......"

It is indeed true that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, but if the Jia family comes out of this way, it will definitely backfire.

Your Jia family now has three lords' mansions, two dukes, one uncle, and now they are thinking about the Liguo Mansion again.

What do you want to do? Rebellion?

He Chong could understand the scruples of the Jia family, and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? When I go back, I will tell my grandfather that Liu Erlang is indeed a good candidate, and it is the bounden duty of the Ministry of Rites to recommend talents. ”

Of the four people on the painting boat, except for Xue Pan, who was a little confused, the other three looked at each other and smiled, raised their glasses and saluted each other, which can be regarded as secretly reaching an alliance.

……

On the tenth day of August, the last big meeting before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As soon as the voice of Banzai ended, the struggle on the Fengtian Temple had already entered a white heat.

Liu Fang, an empty lord, was rarely edicted into the palace, standing in the queue of Wu Xun, his face was pale.

His sons and nephews were all arrested and imprisoned by Dali Temple, and no matter how he tried his best, he couldn't make the people of Dali Temple show the slightest sign of letting go.

For this reason, the opinions in the Liu family are great.

One of the founding eight princes of the Liguo Mansion, in just a few years after Liu Fang took over the Prince's Mansion, it declined from the first-class prince's mansion to a situation where he couldn't even get a real job.

The people in the clan thought that Liu Fang was incompetent and unworthy of being the helmsman of the Guogong Mansion.

In addition, he has no male heirs in this vein so far, and the clan elders have forced the palace several times, asking him to choose a male heir from the clan to enter the palace, so that he can inherit the title of the Duke Mansion in the future.

Liu Fang can avoid this, and finally made sense of the clan elders to wait, after all, his eldest son Liu Zixin is only thirty, and there is still a chance.

didn't expect that there was a case of Liu Zixin killing his concubine, and even a case of Fengtian Palace.

The Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple have been jointly handling the case for several days, and there is basically no objection to the case committed by Liu Zixin.

Liu Zixin estimated that he had psychological problems because of his lack of vigor before, and he liked to torture and abuse women.

Including his wife, the concubines and maids in his back house are all targets of abuse and torture.

The wife is still down, and the concubines and maids of the Liguo Mansion are quietly pulled out of the city and buried almost every month.

Liu Fang knew all about this, but he had never asked about it once.

In his opinion, it is just one or two untouchables, and even if it is discovered by the time, it can be settled for a few dollars.

It wasn't until the imperial court canceled the silver system that Liu Fang reminded his son once......

It's a pity that everything was late.

Liu Zixin's fetish has long infected a group of gentlemen in the Liguo Mansion, and they even secretly compared, one tyrannical than the other.

Even if there was Liu Fang's warning in front, they only stopped on the surface, and secretly still cruelly abused those poor women.

The outbreak of this incident came a few days ago when a merchant who came to Beijing bought a barren land outside the city and wanted to build a house there.

I didn't want to dig up a female corpse that had not completely decomposed.

After receiving the report, the county government quickly sent people to investigate. This investigation almost scared the officials to death, and there were more than 100 corpses, which could still be put together.

The case was soon reported to Shuntian Mansion, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and even the Dragon Guards were concerned.

The paper can't hold the fire, and the Liguo Mansion often secretly goes to the area to bury people, and this matter was quickly found out by the people of Dali Temple.

Now the anxious problem is that if such a shocking case is just to dispose of Liu Zixin's waste dim sum, the people of the third division will not be reconciled.

More than 100 corpses, that is more than 100 innocent women.

You, Liu Fang, as the head of the Liguo Mansion, have no way to govern the family strictly and discipline, where is the justice?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Liu Zixin and others are tyrannical and cruel, killing more than 100 innocent women, and they should be punished with capital punishment to set the record straight."

A young imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate couldn't bear it for a long time, and seeing that Liu Fang was still quibbling, he immediately walked out of the queue and output to Liu Fang.

"Liu Fang, the first-class son of the Liguo Mansion, is not only a crime of having no way to teach his son and not governing his family strictly. The minister did not believe that he did not know about such tyranny in the house...... The minister thought that he also had the crime of shielding, and according to the "Great Xia Law", he should be removed from the lord and dismissed, and demoted to the common people! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Huang Yushi is right, Liu Zixin and others are guilty, and Liu Fang is to blame. It is too light to punish only the punishment of the penalty, and it should be punished for the crime of shielding, and the knight and the official should be dismissed! ”

……

The civil and military officials in the court dealt with Liu Fang almost one-sidedly, and the beating of the water dog became the consensus of everyone.

The only dispute now is whether the Liguo Mansion should be abolished or whether someone should be chosen to inherit it.

The affairs of the Liu family happened suddenly, and the emperor was not ready to take over the power gap left by the abolition of the Liguo Mansion, so he still tended to find his own person to inherit the title of the Liguo Mansion.

Just as everyone was arguing, He Yaomin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up.

"Your Majesty, if the old minister is not mistaken, Liu Gong also has a grandson, right? It seems that that person, whether it is talent or character, has the best choice......"
