It was getting late, and it was no longer appropriate to go out to find out the news, so Li went to sleep with a sad face and a sigh. Before going to bed, he also pulled Ning Shuo to worship the Bodhisattva again, asking the Bodhisattva to bless everyone with safety and bless the feast bell with a smooth marriage.

Ning Shuo worshipped the Bodhisattva and burned incense according to her wishes, kowtowed respectfully, and then was able to return to the house.

As soon as he went back, the little maid poured the water for washing his feet, but he waved his hand to let people out, took off his shoes, did not even take off his socks, and lay on the bed with his clothes, his eyes open, and he did not feel sleepy.

- This is not for the feast bell, the matter of the Yu family in his heart, although it is not a trivial matter, but it is not a big matter, as long as there is the Ningguo Mansion to support her, the fault of the divorce will all fall on Xingzhi, and when the banquet bell is said to be pro, the marriage will not be bad. And being able to recognize the true face of Yu Xingzhi as soon as possible is a blessing in disguise.

He couldn't sleep all night, just to keep it from raining.

The three words of Buyuchuan are enough to remind him of the grievances of being punished with his family four years ago.

Four years ago, when this old man, who had been clear all his life, had a pure character, and had a clean demeanor, sued his father to the Jinluan Treasure Palace, he personally said that his father had embezzled 1 million taels of silver from Jingtai's 11th year of Jiangnan disaster relief, and that his second uncle, who was a businessman in his hometown in Muzhou, had also embezzled 500,000 taels of silver from the people and the subordinate bureaucrats in Muzhou.

This 1.5 million taels of silver cost the lives of his family and his second uncle's family.

The heirs of the family have always been thin. To my father's generation, there was only one brother, the second uncle, who was a family of farming and studying, the family was not rich, but it was not poor, there was land and land, and he earned a little silver taels, so his father was able to concentrate on studying, and later he was called a genius. The second uncle also became a merchant and did some small business.

At that time, it was still the reign of the first emperor, the emperor was not an emperor, just a powerless prince, his father and he had a similar temperament, had been friends for many years, often corresponded, and called him a brother and sister in private.

Later, when he became emperor, he gave the crown prince to his father to teach.

Ning Shuo still remembered that his father once smiled and said, "Your Majesty often tells me that the crown prince is his most important treasure. Now that he has given me his treasures, I will surely teach them well. If you don't teach it well, you will lose the emperor's grace. ”

But who knew that when the prince grew up, he would become a person hated by His Majesty because of his natural timidity?

Ning Shuo carefully recalled those years, and only felt that His Majesty and the crown prince were ruthless and unrighteous people. In order to suppress the crown prince, His Majesty promoted the second prince King Jin to fight with the prince and fight with the prince, and his father supported and raised the prince for many years, but he was not worthy of him kneeling on the court to shout a word of injustice for him.

Ning Shuo felt uncomfortable when he thought of this, exhaled deeply, got up, opened the window, and listened to the wind outside. The weather in Kyoto is very strange, the sun is very strong during the day, and it is very windy and rainy at night.

The rain splashed on his hands, and he didn't wipe it, and he remembered his father's wrongs in his mind.

My father did go to Jiangnan for disaster relief in the eleventh year of Jingtai. He was nine years old that year, and he still remembers a few things. He remembered that his father was going to Jiangnan, and the imperial court allocated five million taels of silver, and he and the prince had never been out of Kyoto, and they wanted to follow, but his father said with a solemn face: "This is life-saving money, and I will leave immediately, where can I allow you to mess around?" ”

But my father was still happy, "Your Majesty said, these five million taels of silver, one tael of silver for one life, he doesn't dare to give it to others, only believe me." ”

When he went, his face was full of red light, and when he came back, he was also proud, and said: "These five million taels of silver, every penny of silver have been used on the people." ”

He also put all the Zhuangzi in the years with his family. How could he embezzle money like this?

Ning Shuo believed in his own eyes and believed in the truth he saw - his father, like the snow in the mountains, worked hard for the royal father and son, never had two hearts, was diligent and conscientious to the people, and never embezzled half a point.

Therefore, everyone in the world believes in Buyuchuan, but he does not believe it.

He thought about it when he was in prison, and Bu Yuchuan was most likely the person of King Jin. At that time, the king of Jin was fighting with the crown prince, and as long as the prince fell, he could sit in the position of the prince.

No rain, absolutely not clean.

When he was investigating the matter of Yu Xingzhi during the day, Ning Shuo also inquired about how this honest and honest old man had spent the past four years, and learned that he was still in a high position, still won the emperor's heart, and was still admired by the people, so he pinched out blood with both hands.

The rain crackled and fell, and before Ning Shuo returned to the desk, he picked up a pen and wrote down the words "Xiaoxi Makeup".

Buyuchuan said that there are three evidences of his father's corruption. One is the 500,000 taels of silver embezzled by the second uncle in Muzhou. Ning Shuo rarely saw the second uncle, and the second uncle rarely went to Beijing, so he didn't know much about him. I only heard my father say that the second uncle is a very honest character, he is like his father, and he has no concubines, and he only gave birth to a son with the second uncle and mother in his life, but he has raised the child to look like a gentleman, and every time he writes a letter, he is worried.

The second is "Creek Makeup". Xiaoxi makeup is located in the suburbs of Beijing Xishan a small courtyard, was bought by my father when he was young, and has not lived in it before, and then in Jingtai 18 years, my father suddenly said that the courtyard was rented to someone to live in.

And it was in this annex that a million taels of silver were found.

One million taels of snowflake silver, with the background seal of the government's silver, proved to be the batch sent to Jiangnan for disaster relief in the eleventh year of Jingtai, and it was the physical evidence of his father's corruption.

The third is a human witness, who is the father's henchman and housekeeper. I don't know what the surname of this housekeeper was when he was young, but he first became his father's scholar, was given the surname Sui, and later became a housekeeper, and was the most trusted person by his father.

The most critical time was when he came out and took a bite, saying that his father had indeed embezzled, and that he had hidden the silver in Xiaoxi makeup.

Three pieces of ironclad evidence, so that the father had no room for refutation, and was directly escorted to the prison, where he was killed seven days later.

The rest of the family, along with Ning Shuo, were kept in lockdown, and it was only after half a month that they were sentenced to be executed.

The winter snow has not yet disappeared, but the blood of the family has disappeared cleanly. Everyone died, and no one was spared.

Except for him.

Ning Shuo took a deep breath, closed the window, and walked back to bed to sleep. He still can't sleep with his eyes open, and he still thinks about the unjust case with his family.

If he wants to get revenge, he must find evidence. For example, what is the truth about the second uncle's corruption, for example, how did the snowflake silver of the one million taels of official mansion seal of Xiaoxi Makeup be hidden, and how did it come about, and for example, with the housekeeper...... Why betray your father.

One by one, he didn't think clearly when he was in prison four years ago, and now when he returns to Kyoto, he must find out clearly.

stayed up like this until dawn, and finally felt a little sleepy. In a daze, he thought of the prince again......

The prince actually went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall Temple to light an everlasting lamp for him.

It's ridiculous.

Why, is it that he is timid again, afraid that his unjust soul will not be gone, and he will come to Kyoto from Lingnan to take revenge?

The next day, when he got up, Li was already waiting outside. Ning Shuo was in a trance, and hurriedly got up to call someone in, Li Shi saw that his face was pale, and knew that he should have gone to bed very late, so he blamed himself very much, "I still shouldn't have asked you to take care of it, look, look, you yourself got sick first." ”

Ning Shuo: "Mother, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare and didn't look good." ”

But Li wanted to call a doctor. Fortunately, the doctor came and said that it was okay, "Rest more, don't stay up." ”

Li still didn't dare to ask Ning Shuo to go out, she originally wanted to find out what happened to the family while the iron was hot.

She said, "I'd better check it myself, you can rest!" ”

Men have a man's world, and women also have women's means, and this kind of backhouse thing is that women are more powerful. Yesterday, I asked Ning Shuo to go, also because it was Yu Xingzhi who was checked. Yu Xingzhi is a man, where to go, what to do, and details of what to do, Ning Shuo is also a man, and there are classmates to inquire.

But now that it has probably been found out, it doesn't have to be Ning Shuo to go, she said: "I'll go directly to check the concubine of the Mo family, if I find out that I really have a private relationship with Yu Xingzhi and deliberately toss the banquet bell......"

She sneered, "Then don't blame me, the Yu family and the Mo family will give me food and walk around." ”
