Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1231 Clarification Notice
Hong Jiu's eyes flashed and he said:
"Boss An has finished his work and has already set off. He will be back in Kyoto soon."

Bai Zhi smiled and brought the hot tea to Lin Jinyan:
"The can of tea that Boss An gave me when he left is almost finished. I guess Boss An had it all planned out when he gave it to me. I have to make a few more teas in the next two days. If I finish them sooner, I can see the new tea sooner, right?"

Picking up the cup and smelling the familiar jasmine fragrance, Lin Jinyan's eyes became soft and bright. She rolled her eyes at the two people who were joking with a little bit of pouting. Just as they finished drinking the tea, Agate came to invite Lin Jinyan to have dinner at Songmao Hall.

On the way there, Lin Jinyan listened to the laughter of the people around her, savored the sweet aroma of tea, and was inexplicably distracted:
Thinking that in a few days, I would go to the secret passage to meet An Zhixian, the table would be filled with the food and novel objects he brought back from Zhangzhou.

At that time, he brewed tea smoothly, and sincerely and nervously expressed his feelings to himself again...

Thinking of this, Lin Jinyan smiled slightly:

Although this person is persistent in feelings, he has a kind of immature silliness.

Try to trust him for once, as long as he is willing to wait, wait for her to finish everything, wait for her to settle the Gu and Lin families...

Although after her rebirth, she had never thought about love between men and women, and even resisted it.

But, if it was An Zhixian, she would have thought about it seriously...

She is willing.

In the early morning, the court posted a notice regarding the punishment of the Qi family:

Qi and his spies from Mobei intended to disrupt the Tianchu court. After the men were imprisoned and the women were captured, their followers were still unwilling to give up and fabricated rumors about the biological mother of Princess Qi, intending to disgrace the Lin family and alienate the royal family by slandering Princess Qi.

Now that the evidence has been ascertained, considering the Qi family's contribution to the founding of the country, only the head of the Qi family and the mastermind Qi Mu were sentenced to immediate execution, all the male members of the Qi family were exiled to Xuanzhou, and the female members were all made slaves. The Qi family's property was confiscated and put into the national treasury. The notice not only stated the treatment of the Qi family, but also stated the origin of Lin Wanrong's biological mother:

She was not a woman of low status from a brothel, but the concubine's daughter of the retired Lord Zhao who had been lost in his early years and was adopted and raised by a kind-hearted merchant outside the capital.

The reason why she met Lin Siran in the place of fireworks was that she went there to deliver rouge for her adoptive parents. She was misunderstood by the drunk Lin Siran. Afterwards, she felt ashamed to see her adoptive parents and ran away from home. After giving birth to Lin Wanrong, she was unable to support her, so she sent her back to the Lin Mansion.

The Lin family wanted to keep her as a concubine, but the girl was strong-willed and did not want to be a concubine. She left a message asking the Lin family to take good care of her daughter and then disappeared.

Lin Jinyan had read the letter sent by the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion and knew that Aunt Xu's biological father was chosen by the emperor. Chu Chengping shamelessly embellished it and finally issued this clarification notice.

I was quite impressed by the emperor's way of making the best use of everything. The emperor had planned it out long ago. He first found a scapegoat for the rumors and then killed Aunt Xu. Once the person was dead, there would be no trace of the crime.

Although the Qi family had made great contributions to the founding of the country, they had caused trouble time and again. The emperor punished them for multiple crimes but still spared the lives of the Qi family members. Everyone would praise the emperor for his benevolent character, but would also curse the Qi family for getting what they deserved.

In this way, not only can the rumors be clarified, but the war with Mobei will also be justified, and an annoying family can be eliminated at the same time, thus spreading the reputation of a wise man. It can be said that he kills four birds with one stone.

Aunt Xu's background was also chosen very well. When Lord Zhao lost his concubine's daughter, he searched the whole city for several days. Everyone in the city knew about it. This statement would definitely convince the people, and the age also matched. It seemed that a lot of thought was put into it.

This Lord Zhao has agreed to this matter, so he must be a die-hard loyalist to Your Majesty. It seems that we need to send someone to investigate...
