The girl who wears fast

Chapter 1392 I Can't Help My Concubine (12)

After finding the evidence, Wei Shichu did not take action to report Zhao Yiran himself, but found several survivors in the disaster-stricken area, told them the truth, and asked them to go to Beijing to file a lawsuit as victims.

The family members of these people all died in the flood: flooded, rescued with great difficulty, but waited for rescue, hungry and sick, and died just like that, knowing that the family had a chance to survive , but died because they were embezzled of disaster relief funds and could not wait for the relief food and medicinal materials they should have.

So at home, Zhao Yiran, who enjoyed the service of his beautiful wife and concubine, and the happiness of having children, was dragged out of the gentle village by the people of Dali Temple without any mental preparation.

He was furious, yelling why he wanted to arrest him, whether he knew who he was, and when he tried to use his identity to suppress others, he didn't get the preferential treatment he imagined. The people in Dali Temple treated him with contempt and ridicule. Maybe give him face.

When Zhao Yiran discovered this, his heart immediately cooled down. As a person in the officialdom, how could he not understand that these people's attitude towards him is determined by their superiors?Since they can be unceremonious towards themselves as a third-rank member, it means that the matter is very serious, so serious that they are not afraid that they will turn around and take revenge on them in the future...

Zhao Yiran's heart was like a heavy boulder, and he quickly recalled in his mind where he was caught...

Before he could recall, other members of the family were also taken away, not even the female relatives and children were spared. Where had Zhao Yiran's wives and concubines seen such a scene?Crying endlessly in fear, hoping that Zhao Yiran will support them, but they don't know that Zhao Yiran can't take care of himself.

"At the beginning of time, all Zhao's family was arrested and sent to prison, do you know about this?" Fifth Master asked Wei Shichu with a solemn expression, he called Zhao Yiran's family Zhao's.

Wei Shichu nodded, and said: "The matter is raging, so I naturally heard about it. It is said that Zhao Yiran colluded with the previous fifth prince to embezzle the disaster relief money when he was working in the household department. Now someone has come to report him."

This matter was planned by her alone, and she knew it better than anyone else.

The fifth grandfather sighed, and said: "Even greedy for disaster relief money, I didn't expect Zhao Yiran to be so greedy and vicious. I only hope that their family's affairs will not be implicated in us."

"Of course it won't implicate us. We are not in the same family with them. Although the crime of corruption is serious, it is not enough to punish the whole family. Zhao Lue has been adopted long ago, and I am not Zhao Yiran's for a long time. Concubines, their crimes are far from ours."

Wei Shichu calmly comforted the Fifth Lord.

After listening to her words, the fifth grandpa was really relieved, and then remembered the scene when he went to the Zhao Mansion to cry and complain, but was treated impatiently by Zhao Yiran and his father and brother, so he sneered: "Zhao Yiran would never think that I am now reduced to Is he a prisoner? He deserves it. My grandson saved his life. I didn’t expect his life to last. God knows, but it’s a pity for my grandson..."

The fifth grandpa choked up again while talking, Wei Shichu hurriedly comforted him: "Grandpa, isn't Zhao Yiran's retribution coming now? My younger brother will be very happy when he finds out, presumably he won't want to see you sad, grandpa." Five Grandpa's grandson is younger than Wei Shichu, so Wei Shichu called him his younger brother.

Wei Shichu hurriedly brought Zhao Lue out again, and finally made the old man feel better.

The evidence Wei Shichu investigated was sufficient and accurate, so Zhao Yiran's charges were quickly confirmed. When the emperor learned that he had secretly supported his enemies, but pretended to be so good on the surface, he felt that he was being fooled, so he treated Zhao Yiran even more. He was angry, so he asked Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the Zhao family.

During this investigation, some bad things Mr. Zhao did when he was chief assistant, Zhao Yiran's elder brother, third younger brother, fourth younger brother, and relatives or subordinates who bullied others were all found out one by one.

It could have become a first-class official family in the capital, and the hands of the family members cannot be very clean, so the Zhao family checked and found out that none of the men who were in charge of the Zhao family could escape, even some female relatives and relatives in the mansion. servants are guilty...

The emperor laughed angrily after reading the investigation results, and ordered them not to be spared lightly, so Zhao Yiran and his brother were beheaded for public display. It is impossible for a person who has committed a crime to be lightly forgiven. Those who have been sentenced to punishment, those who have been sentenced to exile...

And the female relatives and children who did not commit crimes had to be exiled to other places for several years.

Zhao Yiran's wives and concubines in the prison immediately collapsed when they learned of this result, angrily accusing each other and scolding each other, even Zhao Yiran scolded, saying that he was the one who harmed them...

But one of Zhao Yiran's concubines suddenly regretted and said: "Why wasn't my child adopted out at the beginning? If he had been adopted back then, he wouldn't have to suffer this kind of pain now..."

Her words suddenly hit everyone like a bolt from the blue, and it turned out that there was one person who survived the disaster!That is Zhao Lue who was adopted out!
That's right, if it was my son who was adopted out at the beginning, it would be my son who would be fine.

At the beginning, they tried hard to push Zhao Lue to be adopted by others, but now, Zhao Lue, who was adopted out, has become an outsider who is not implicated and can live a good life. How can they be reconciled?
"Yes! There is also Zhao Lue! He is also Zhao Yiran's son, why hasn't he been arrested? Officer, you hurry up and arrest Zhao Yiran, go and arrest..." Zhao Yiran's first wife, Chen Shi, went crazy. She yelled at the jailer that she was really going crazy after suffering this blow, especially when she realized that Zhao Lue, a concubine who had never been valued by her, was still able to be a young master in good clothes and well-fed, and her two concubine sons were from now on. But she would fall into the mud and be exiled with them... She couldn't stand it anymore, so she wished she could grab Zhao Lue and die together.

When the jailer heard her words, he sneered and said, "Bah! Crazy woman, don't think I don't know that he is an unfavorable bastard who was adopted by you. He was adopted a long time ago, and he is only under three years old. Your Majesty is merciful!" , will not involve irrelevant people. So what if you are unwilling? Human fate is impermanent."

Mrs. Chen was already regretful, unwilling and jealous, but when she heard the jailer's words, she yelled and fainted.

And the others knew that Zhao Lue couldn't be implicated, and felt resentment, hatred and regret in their hearts, but they had no choice. Who made them do so badly?It is said that fortune and misfortune depend on each other. At the beginning, they felt that being adopted was a terrible news, so they worked together to push Zhao Lue out, but they didn't expect that it was precisely this that allowed Zhao Lue to escape from the quagmire of the Zhao family and survived.
