Chapter 153 Sudden Changes

After a while, the Fang family's case not only did not usher in a good turn, but became worse. On the morning of the first day of September, Emperor Zhao You was forced by Ding Yuanhou, Chen Zai and others to deal with Fang's case. The members of the Fang family said that the evidence of the Fang family committing the crime has been conclusive, and the Fang family must be severely punished in order to be outraged by the people.

"Severe punishment? What kind of severe punishment law?" In the Cuju Garden of Zhen Guogong Mansion, teenagers were kicking Cuju enthusiastically on the Cuju field. Lin Shuran, Lei Yingying, and Qiu Shi were drinking tea outside the field and watching They were exercising, and chatted about recent events in the capital by the way.

Lei Yingying and the Qiu family knew more about what happened in the early court than Lin Shuran. Now that Du Sheng was serving in Dali Temple, Lei Zhanpeng, the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo, was also serving as the commander of the city guard army, and Xu Junze until now I haven't returned to Beijing yet.

Qiu looked at the two with worried eyes and said, "How can we punish them severely, copying and beheading the whole family, and even implicating the nine clans!"

"What? Is it so serious?!" Both Lin Shuran and Lei Yingying looked at Qiu Shi in disbelief, only to see Qiu Shi sighed and nodded slightly.

None of the civil and military officials knew that Fang Lao Yushi and his son were honest and loyal ministers. How could they commit corruption, accept bribes, and privately hide the Ren family's golden pagoda? Irrefutable evidence", this made the emperor feel embarrassed for a while.

"I don't believe Mr. Fang would do such a thing. Someone must have framed him!" Lei Yingying looked very angry, and even bluntly said to Lin Shuran and Qiu Shi, "I think it's the Marquis Dingyuan and Prime Minister Chen. It was done by people, and the old censor Fang is not the only one who handles the case of the Ren family. If the gold pagoda of the Ren family is really missing, the two of them will also be suspected. The thief shouted "Stop the thief, this is what they always do well!"

"Little sister, don't talk nonsense, it's fine if you say these things in front of the two of us, and you must not say them to outsiders." Qiu Shi urged Lei Yingying.

Although she was more inclined to Lei Yingying's statement, but now Dingyuanhou is too powerful and powerful, even the emperor can't do anything against him, let alone other people.

"Yingying, what the concubine Shi Zi said is correct, we should not say these words without evidence, lest people who want to listen to them will be overheard!" Lin Shuran also persuaded from the side.

"The two of you are too cautious. There are injustices in this world. Don't let people talk about them. Besides, I am not the only one who thinks this way. Everyone is afraid of the Dingyuanhou Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even I don’t dare to tell the truth anymore!” Lei Yingying seemed even more depressed and aggrieved, but under the excessive attention of the two people’s eyes, she said helplessly, “Okay, okay, don’t look at me like that, in the future I will Just say no more!"

Lin Shuran knew Lei Yingying's temperament, she was straightforward, bold and chivalrous, but the Fang family's case was too involved, so it was not good for others to intervene too much.

"Concubine Shizi, Ma'am asked you to go back to the mansion as soon as possible, saying that there is something to discuss!" The three of them were chatting about family affairs, when a nurse next to Mrs. Yang found her, walked up to Mrs. Qiu and said.

Lei Yingying is also familiar with this person, she asked curiously: "Mother Tian, ​​what happened in the mansion, mother asked you to come in person?"

Nanny Tian didn't shy away from Lei Yingying and Lin Shuran either, and hurriedly said to them, "I just got the news that the Fang family will be ransacked and beheaded in three days."

"What?!" This made Lin Shuran, Lei Yingying and Qiushi stand up in shock at the same time. Lei Yingying hurriedly stared at Tianmao and asked, "Mommy, is this true?"

"Back to Miss, it's true!" Tian Nanny nodded with certainty, and the Zhen Guogong's mansion had just obtained the letter of approval, so Yang Shi asked her to come to Qiu Shi to return to the mansion.

"But the emperor's will?" Lin Shuran also asked anxiously.

Mother Tian did not refuse to answer because Lin Shuran was an outsider, but said respectfully: "Responding to Mrs. Xu's words is not the emperor's will. The sword wiped out harm for the Jin Dynasty."

After listening to Nanny Tian's reply, the three of them were startled and looked at each other. The sudden change of things had nothing to do with their respective prefectures, but they still felt the seriousness of the matter.

"I'm going back to the mansion first, the young master of the Fang family is still in the general's mansion!" Lin Shuran no longer cared about talking to Qiu Shi and Lei Yingying, and asked someone to tell Xu Mingchen and others who were still playing cuju on the field, and she would go first He got into the carriage and rushed back to the General's Mansion.

Sure enough, before she arrived at the General's Mansion, she heard the noise of people in the streets and alleys in front of the mansion. When she lifted the curtain of the car, she saw many officers, soldiers and onlookers in front of the Yushi Mansion and the General's Mansion. The female family members of the Fang family were being led out of the Fang mansion by the officers and soldiers. They supported the old and the young, their faces were full of tears and despair.

"Stop the car!" Lin Shuran asked the driver to stop the car. She got out of the carriage and walked towards the old lady of the Fang family. The clothes of these officers and soldiers were different from those of the officials of the Ministry of Punishment. They didn't seem to belong to Xiao Chen.

"Who?!" Seeing Lin Shuran approaching the old lady of the Fang family and the female relatives in a hurry, the officers and soldiers in charge of escorting the prisoner blocked her way.

"Presumptuous, this is the general's wife!" Fei Yue glared coldly at the officers and soldiers who stopped Lin Shuran. The officers and soldiers didn't know Lin Shuran, so they hesitated. Fortunately, his superior rushed over and gave Lin Shuran a fistful salute.

"Duan Jie, the official at Dali Temple, has seen the wife of the great general. The lower official is taking the Fang family's convicts to the jail under the order of the superior, and please ask the wife of the general to go first!" Duan Jie thought it was the team escorting the prisoners. He blocked Lin Shuran's way back to the mansion. He is a petty official, so naturally he didn't dare to stop the carriage of the general's mansion.

"Your Majesty Duan, you are being polite. Can I have a word with the old lady of the Fang family?" Lin Shuran looked at the women of the Fang family behind him, each of them had a sad look on their faces.

Duan Jie looked at her with a face of embarrassment and replied: "Mrs. General, it's not that it's unreasonable to be a lower official, it's just that the upper official has an order that no one is allowed to talk to the guilty person of the Fang family."

"Master Duan, please be accommodating. I won't say much, just say one thing." Lin Shuran rarely used a pleading tone.

"This——" Duan Jie hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't want to offend Xu Junze, so he let Lin Shuran pass. As for the punishment from the superior, he had to talk about it later.

Lin Shuran came to the old lady of the Fang family, and seeing her staggering, she seemed to have lost her backbone and vigor, and she suddenly looked older.

"Old lady, I didn't expect things to change so quickly. What else can I do for you?" Things have reached this point, and Lin Shuran doesn't know what else she can do for the Fang family. How weak the power is.
