Red House Shoufu

Chapter 138
Wang Xifeng looked at Xue Baochai, who was pear-blossoming and rainy, and leaned on the soft couch to read the letter left by Xue Pan.

In the letter, Xue Pan only mentioned that he was going to Shuntian Mansion to report himself, and he didn't want to live with the name of "living dead" anymore.At the same time, let Xue Baochai come to him for help...

well!Wang Xifeng sighed, and she said to Xue Baochai, "You read this letter first before you talk about it. Brother Xue gave it to your second brother Lian yesterday."

Wang Xifeng took a letter from under the pillow and handed it to Xue Baochai. Hearing that it was left by her brother, Xue Baochai quickly took it and opened it.

The letter contains the ins and outs of the whole matter, including Xue Pan asking Lin Shu and Jia Lian for help, Lin Shu's speculation about this matter, and so on.

The more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, and at the same time, her heart was full of gratitude to Xue Pan.It turned out that his elder brother was trying to fight for her a way out, and even risked his life to gamble on this one.

"Sister Feng, what should I do? My mother is clamoring to go to Wang's house to find my uncle. If what my brother and the others said is true, will my uncle know about this..."

If Xue Baochai was a man, he would definitely be able to do a great job.As early as when Daiyu reminded her of the secret of the Jinling case, she had already guessed that trouble was coming for her family.

It's a pity that he was trapped in the inner house, and could only watch the Xue family gradually decline.When the faithful Wang Gao Yongyi borrowed the words of his uncle Wang Ziteng to tell her that she was a side concubine, Xue Baochai had a premonition that something would happen.

It's a pity that the mother stubbornly believed that her brother would not harm her, and she was only thinking about the illusory position of side concubine. No matter what she said, it was an order from her parents and a matchmaker's words.

The words in the letter made Xue Baochai more sure that her uncle would not let her go easily.

Even if the elder brother surrendered himself in Shuntian Mansion, the Wang family would definitely stop him, and even after the failure to stop him, let his elder brother die inexplicably in the Shuntian Mansion prison or on the way to exile.

The Xue family's million-dollar property is like glaring fat, how could King Zhongxin and the Wang family let it go?Even if this person is his own uncle, Xue Baochai dare not bet that he will show mercy to his brother.

Wang Xifeng comforted the panicked Xue Baochai, Jia Lian explained to her last night.The Xue family's mother and daughter just need to stay at home obediently in this matter, if there is anything, he and Lin Shu have already made arrangements.

"Sister Bao, don't worry, your second brother Lian and Cousin Lin have already made arrangements. Didn't Cousin Lin take Brother Xue to Zhongshun Palace? Datian has heard about this matter, don't worry!"

……

In the Hall of Qinzheng, the emperor held the secret performance just sent by the embroidered clothes guard.

"Heh, a dignified prince, a superb uncle, is really shameless to plot against orphans and widows for the sake of yellow and white things!"

Lin Shu, who was standing by the side, said: "It seems that after Xue Gong passed away, they have already been planning for the Xue family. I even feel that the murder of Xue Pan was arranged in advance by them."

"Scholar Lin, this incident is indeed a coincidence, but the slaves of the Xue family who killed Feng Yuan were all from the Wang family, but I don't know if they have received instructions from the Wang family."

Xia Shouzhong took Lin Shu's lead and told the situation he sent someone to investigate: "According to the news from Jinling from Jinling, Xue Sheren was seriously ill for a few years, and he didn't care about teaching his son at all. Apart from spoiling her mother, she doesn't understand these things at all. Wang Ziteng arranged for the Wang family's dowry, just these few guards, who took Xue Pan to play around every day..."

"So that's how it is. This is a typical plan to raise the disabled!" Lin Shu added the last piece of the puzzle in his mind. No wonder the gap between the brothers and sisters of the Xue family is so big. The same father, it doesn't make sense for the daughter to be so good, but the son to be perfect. so.

After going on for a long time, some people don't want the Xue family to produce a powerful patriarch!
The emperor suddenly asked, "What does Lin Aiqing think should be done with that Jia Hua?"

Lin Shu bowed and replied: "When he was teaching ministers in Yangzhou, he often expressed his desire for official career in his words. Although he hid it deeply, I still noticed it. Besides, this person has a cold heart, repaying favors and revenge, and favoritism. Breaking the law... It can be said that the evil of this person is better than that of jackals."

The emperor was a little surprised by Lin Shu's evaluation of Jia Yucun. This was the first time he heard Lin Shu hate someone so much.When the two talked about the Zhen family and others before, Lin Shu just had pure hatred and never belittled anyone like this.

He flipped through all the experiences about Jia Yucun that Xiuyiwei had sorted out.He sighed and said: "This person was quite talented at the beginning, but he was corrupted by the secretive activities of the officialdom to such a degree."

Why did the emperor say that?Jia Yucun used to be a gentleman, but unfortunately after winning the official position for the first time, he gradually became the person he hated the most.

"Lin Aiqing, go to Shuntian Mansion to deliver my oral order, ordering Shuntian Mansion to investigate the case with all its strength, and no one is allowed to interfere with Shuntian Mansion's trial."

The emperor asked Xia Shouzhong to fetch a Tuanlong Jinling, and Lin Shu took it with both hands respectfully: "The minister leads the decree!"

Just as Lin Shu was about to leave the Hall of Qinzheng, the emperor stopped him again: "You don't have to sit in the office today, just sit in the Shuntian Mansion. Some people may not give up easily."

……

In the lobby of Shuntian Mansion, Tian Xiangduan sat under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, and slapped the gavel.

"Bold and unreasonable, Xue Pan died long ago in Jinling Prison. You pretended to be someone else and deceived the government. Can you be convicted?"

Xue Pan was stunned, he had not been to Shuntian Mansion once or twice.Since entering Beijing, he has never made big mistakes, but kept making small mistakes. He often sees Mr. Tian, ​​why today he pretended not to know himself.

"My lord, Caomin is Xue Pan, I just met a few days ago..."

Before Xue Pan finished speaking, Tian Xiang ordered the left and right: "You still dare to lie, come here, slap your mouth twenty times, let him have a long memory."

Just as the yamen servant stepped forward and escorted Xue Pan to slap his mouth, the closed gate of Shuntian Mansion Yamen was pushed open.

A team of dragon guards walked in, escorting a young official in green robes, and saw the young man raised his right hand high, and the golden order of the dragon was shining brightly in the sun.

"Your Majesty orders, Shuntian Fu Yin accepts the order!"

Tian Xiang secretly thought something was wrong, but he didn't dare to delay, he quickly walked up to Lin Shu and knelt down: "Chen Shun Tianfu Yin Tianxiang, welcome the holy edict!"

All the clerks and yamen servants also knelt behind Tian Xiang.Lin Shu glanced around, and quietly gave Xue Pan a reassuring look.

"Your Majesty ordered that the case of Xue Pan should be investigated by the Shuntian Mansion with all its strength, and no one should interfere with the trial!"

"Chen Tianxiang would like to obey the holy edict!"

When Tian Xiang got up, he felt that he had no strength in his body.He had just discussed with Wang Ziteng what to do. Before the plan was implemented, the emperor sent someone over.

"Tianfu Yi, why is the gate of the Shuntian government office closed during the trial? The Taizu once decreed that in order to protect justice, all government offices at all levels must open their doors to let the people listen in on the case, except for special circumstances. What, Is there anything special about this case?"

Tian Xiang didn't know how to answer Lin Shu's words. He had originally discussed with Wang Ziteng to try and close the case in secret as quickly as possible, following a process.

Then Xue Pan was imprisoned for the crime of impersonation, and the rest was up to Wang Ziteng himself.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shu popped out on the way, holding a Tuanlong Jinling in his hand.Looking at the Dragon Guard behind Lin Shu, Tian Xiang felt that his head no longer belonged to him.
