My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

After listening to Li Mubai's words, Ximen Rou and Sanniang were speechless.

What Ximen Jian did was no longer a violation of morality, but a crime.

The laws of the Ming Dynasty severely punished adultery, let alone such incest as "picking off ashes".

If both parties are consensual, once they are found out, the father-in-law will be sentenced to "abandoning the market", that is, beheaded in public, while the daughter-in-law will be dipped in a pig cage.

If the father-in-law forces his daughter-in-law and is reported by the daughter-in-law or son, the father-in-law will be sentenced to abandon the market unilaterally. However, if it is found that the accusation is false, the false accuser will be sentenced to hanging.

If the father-in-law forces his daughter-in-law, but afterwards it is not the daughter-in-law or his son who reports the crime, but someone else, then the daughter-in-law will be considered as a cover-up, and the father-in-law will be sentenced to desertion from the market, and the daughter-in-law will be sentenced to eighty-year cane and three years' probation.

If the daughter-in-law wants to report, is threatened or persecuted by her husband's family, or is reported by her natal family or others, once it is verified, the whole family will be executed.

This is the way the Ming Dynasty Law punished the case of removing ashes. In this regard, the treatment of Renyi Villa is consistent with that of the government.

Because things like "picking off ashes" really challenge the moral bottom line and cannot be tolerated by the universal values ​​of this era.

However, few people would report this kind of thing. As Ximen Jian said before, family scandals should not be made public, and the consequences would be too serious. If it happened, they would try their best to cover it up.

Unless the matter is not covered tightly enough and outsiders find out, and you meet someone who is nosy or has a bad relationship with your family, then you can only admit that you are unlucky.

But generally speaking, even if it is known to outsiders, if there is no enmity or interest dispute, or they simply don't like you, outsiders will generally not do things that harm others and do not benefit themselves.

And if you don't have any substantive evidence, you may not only not harm others, but you may be falsely accused and your life may be at risk.

For this reason, few people report this kind of case.

This corresponds to Ximen Jian. As the head of the Ximen family and the backbone of the family, if he dies, the family will be ruined.

Naturally, Sanniang would not report him. After all, it was her only support. Not to mention Ximen Rou, how could she send her own father to the guillotine?

The only son who could possibly report the crime, Ximen Long, turned out to be an ignorant fool.

So as long as Sanniang, Ximen Rou, Huadao, and Li Mubai don't report this matter, nothing will happen to Ximen Jian.

But then again, the consideration of whether to report or not must be based on the premise that Li Xiaocui is not Fan Ji.

If it is finally found out that Li Xiaocui is Fan Ji, the matter will just go away.

After all, the devil sect uses some heretical means to confuse others, which is difficult for ordinary masters to resist, so Ximen Jian is also a victim, no wonder he.

Jianghu is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human relations. This matter has nothing to do with Li Mubai. Naturally, he will not be too busy to meddle in other people's business.

Of course, if there was someone he didn't like, or someone he couldn't deal with, then he wouldn't mind reporting them to uphold the majesty of the Ming Law.

It's just so realistic.

Ximenrou coughed with an unnatural expression and said to Li Mubai: "Brother Yun, this matter is very important. Let's talk to dad in private."

Li Mubai said nonchalantly: "Okay, tomorrow I will ask Brother You to send someone to Ximen Mansion to deliver a message. Just tell him that Brother You and I will invite him over for a banquet. I will have a good talk with him then."

After speaking, he looked at the Jade Girl Heart Sutra in his hand and said to Ximen Judao: "This Jade Girl Heart Sutra is useful to Ling'er and the others. This time they came to Jiangnan to eradicate Fan Ji and seize this book. Can you lend me a copy?" "

Ximen Rou heard this and said generously: "There is no need to copy it. This scripture is of no use to me. Brother Yun can just take it."

Li Mubai said happily: "That's fine. The knowledge of these side sects is useless. If you practice the Feixian Sect's martial arts well, you will be able to roam the world."

Hanamichi on the side couldn't help but ask: "Since this is heresy, what use does Sister Feng and the others do?"

Ximen Rou rolled her eyes at him and scolded: "Nosy."

Hanamichi smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Yun, I'm not trying to be arrogant, I'm just curious, just curious."

Li Mubai smiled and said: "It's very simple. Uncle Long and Mr. Wang Ge, the chief minister of the current cabinet, are close friends. The Jade Girl's Heart Sutra has the effect of converting yin and yang, so Ling'er and the others wanted to take it back and give it to Mr. Wang Ge to try to see if it can Can it make up for his incomplete body?"

Hanamichi suddenly said: "I see, since even women can grow those things after practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, eunuchs should have no problem."

"If that doesn't work, then just become a woman completely. It's better than being neither a man nor a woman."

"..."

Li Mubai looked at him speechlessly. When he thought about Wang Zhi turning into a woman, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

Ximen Rou punched Hanadao in the stomach and said angrily: "Shut your crow mouth. If you can't speak, don't speak. No one will think you are mute."

"Ahem..." Hanamichi bent down and held his stomach, saying with a grimace, "Just kidding."

Li Mubai laughed and shook his head, and said to Ximen Ju: "Be careful today and don't scare the snake. Huan Ji just killed a person and should not do anything again in the short term."

"After talking to your father tomorrow, I will personally keep an eye on Li Xiaocui secretly, and at the same time send people to Xixi Village to investigate. I believe there will be results soon."

Ximen Rou was determined. With Li Mubai's intervention, this matter was basically foolproof.

……

After Li Mubai returned to Hangzhou City, he immediately went to the Renyi Villa branch and told Lu Ying everything.

After listening to Li Mubai's words, Lu Ying didn't say anything and immediately sent his servants to Xixi Village to find Li Xiaocui's parents to investigate the situation.

In less than two hours, the diners returned.

"In response to the report, we rushed to Li Xiaocui's house in Xixi Village, only to find that the house was covered with dust and had been uninhabited for a long time."

"After a search, three mummies were finally found in the attic. After the autopsy, we concluded that one of them was a man and a woman, two middle-aged people, and the other body was that of a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old."

After listening to the report of the retainer, Li Mubai said to Lu Ying: "As expected, those three corpses should be Li Dasha's family. The real Li Xiaocui has been killed by Fan Ji."

Lu Ying nodded and said: "Since it has been confirmed that Li Xiaocui is Fan Ji, there is no need to act with Ximen Jian anymore, just come and win her."

Li Mubai said: "Yes, I made a plan to act with Ximen Jian before, just to prepare for a rainy day. I didn't expect that Fan Ji would leave such a big flaw."

Originally, he didn't expect to find anything from Xixi Village. After all, no one could leave such a big flaw. He just had the mentality of hitting a shot if there was no date.

But he never expected that Fan Ji would be so arrogant and even bothered to make arrangements. Did she really think that she could run rampant in the Ming Dynasty?

This was because Li Mubai overestimated Fan Ji. It wasn't that she didn't want to arrange everything and eliminate all the flaws, but that she simply didn't have the ability.

Originally, she had a few servants under her, but Tie Zhongtang chased her too closely all the way, and almost got bitten by Tie Zhongtang every time because his subordinates' whereabouts were exposed.

Until the last subordinate was killed by Tie Zhongtang, she completely escaped Tie Zhongtang's pursuit, but because of this, she had no one left to use.

Previously in Xixi Village, she met Li Xiaocui, who looked very similar to her new appearance, so she decisively harvested her true yin, killed him, and controlled Li Dasha and his wife.

The appearance was 60-70% similar, but after her disguise, it became a 100% resemblance. Although it could not be fooled by Li Dasha and his wife, his biological parents, it was enough to fool other villagers.

But as she married into the Ximen Mansion, she could no longer control Li Dasha and his wife, so she had no choice but to kill and silence them to prevent them from reporting.

Her original plan was to marry into the Ximen Mansion, be her young lady of the Ximen Mansion, and then secretly look for people to take supplements.

Even if she took too many shots and caused the Hangzhou Mansion to be under martial law, she could kill the entire Ximen family at night, find a random woman to disguise herself as her, and leave Hangzhou Mansion to settle down elsewhere.

But what she didn't expect was that Ximen Jian, a lustful ghost, would go out of his way to take possession of her son because he didn't understand human nature, and would pester her all the time, leaving her with no chance to do anything else.

Later, Er Niang discovered her affair with Ximen Jian, which seriously disrupted her plan. That's why she decisively killed Erniang and silenced her.

After the news of this matter passed, she would go to Ximen Mansion and leave Hangzhou at night to find another place to cause trouble.

After all, being pestered by Ximen Jian all day long, she couldn't do anything, so this shelter was meaningless.

However, what made her big mistake was that the Ximen family she married into turned out to be the Ximen Rou family with whom she had a relationship when she was extremely optimistic.

Although she had her head and face covered when she saw Ximen Rou, Ximen Rou had not seen her true face.

But Ximen Rou's relationship with the Dragon and Phoenix Heroine and the Flying Swordsman became her life-threatening talisman.

……

Ximen Mansion.

For the safety of Sanniang and Siniang, as soon as Ximenrou and Hanadao returned home, they called Sanniang and Siniang to their room on the pretext of asking them to play cards.

"Durrulu..."

At noon, while playing cards, the phone in the room, which had hardly rang since it was installed, suddenly rang.

Ximenrou's expression changed. Normally, no one would call her, but recently she had only given her home phone number to one person, Li Mubai.

Then it is self-evident who the caller is.

Ximen Mansion and all wealthy families who are not short of money usually have a switchboard, and then there is an auxiliary phone in each family member's room.

All incoming calls from outside are made to the switchboard, and then the switchboard transfers the call based on who the other party is calling.

Ximen Rou stood up and walked to the phone, picked up the receiver and said, "I'm Ximen Rou, who is this?"

Li Mubai's voice came from the receiver: "It's me, is there anyone around you now?"

Ximen Judo: "I was playing cards with Hanamichi and Sanniang Siniang."

Li Mubai said: "Very good, more than two hours ago, I sent people to Xixi Village to investigate..."

"So now it is confirmed that Li Xiaocui in your family is Fan Ji. Listen to me. You, Hanadao and the other three will leave Ximen Mansion immediately and join us outside."

Ximen Rou said calmly: "What about my father and brother?"

Li Mubai said: "When the time comes, you can find a way to move them away so that they don't become Fan Ji's hostage and let us use the enemy."

Ximen Judo: "Okay, I'll see you later."

Li Mubai said: "See you later."

After Ximen Rou hung up the phone, he faced three pairs of eyes looking at him and said calmly: "It's Young Master Yun. He has something to tell us. Let's go outside and wait for them."

Hanamichi and Sanniang felt something in their hearts. They knew that the matter about Fan Ji might have come to an end, and they immediately stood up.

But Si Niang asked doubtfully: "Including Sanniang and I? What does he have to say to us?"

Ximen Judo: "You will know in a moment. Don't ask so many questions now. Let's go."

Seeing this, Siniang had no choice but to follow. The four of them arrived outside the house. A few minutes later, an off-road vehicle drove over and three people got out of the vehicle, namely Li Mubai, Lu Ying, and Tie Zhongtang.

Fan Ji is among the top masters in the world, and she is also one of the best in martial arts. Too many people are of no use, and may cause unnecessary casualties.

So only the three of them came, and they didn't bring any extra people.

"Brother Yun, Uncle Lu." Ximen Rou greeted Li Mubai and Lu Ying, and seemed a little surprised when he saw Tie Zhongtang: "Brother Tie, why are you with Brother Yun and the others?"

Tie Zhongtang smiled and said, "I have been staying at the Jiangnan headquarters of Renyi Villa since I arrived in Hangzhou. I never thought we would be so destined."

Ximen Rou smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect Fan Ji to come to my house."

Tie Zhongtang said sternly: "Don't worry, we will never let Fan Ji escape this time. It's time to end things with her."

Lu Ying asked: "What's going on now? Where are your father and brother?"

Ximen Rou said with a stunned expression: "The maid is driving the electric toy car in the garden with her brother. My father... should be in the backyard with Fan Ji."

Lu Ying nodded and said: "Okay, you go to the garden now, take your brother out of Ximen Mansion, and then send someone to the backyard to tell you that I have something important to discuss with your father privately, and ask him to come out to meet you."

Ximen Rou said decisively: "No problem, I'll go right away."

Li Mubai said to Hanamichi and Sanniang Siniang: "You go and sit in the car for a while, and then go back when the matter is settled."

Sanniang said: "Okay, you should be more careful."

After saying that, he pulled Siniang onto the off-road vehicle. Siniang was inexplicably panicked at this time. Thinking of Er Niang's tragic death, she felt even more uneasy.

She asked Sanniang: "Sister, what happened?"

After Hanamichi also got into the car and closed the door, Sanniang told Si Niang what had happened.

……

"Oou, you can't catch up with me, you can't catch up with me, hahaha..."

"Master, be careful, don't drive into the pond."

In the back garden of Ximen Mansion, Ximen Long drove a children's toy go-kart, spinning around in the open space. Two maids drove two other cars behind him, and several servants followed him to protect him.

The speed of this toy car is not very fast, only about ten kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to the speed of a person jogging.

As soon as Ximen Rou entered the back garden, he was spotted by Ximen Long. He waved and said with a smile: "Sister, come and race with me. None of them can beat me."

Ximen Rou followed the trend and said, "What's the point of driving this car? How about I ask Sanniang to take us to drive a real car?"

When Ximenlong heard this, he immediately cheered: "Okay, okay, drive a real car, drive a real car, I want to drive a real car."

The two maids were so frightened that they turned pale and quickly stopped them: "Miss, how can the young master drive a real car? It's too dangerous."

The servants also advised: "Yes, the eldest lady, please think twice. If something goes wrong, the younger ones can't afford it."

However, Ximen Long turned a deaf ear to the words of the maid servant. He just stopped the kart happily, rushed to Ximen Rou, held her arm and shook her violently: "Let's go, let's go and drive a real car."

Ximen Rou said to the maid and servant: "It's okay. Sanniang is with me and nothing will happen. If you are worried, just go with us."

On the other side, in Ximen Jian's room in the backyard, Ximen Jian was drinking and flirting with Fan Ji, when the old housekeeper's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Master, Daxia Lu of Renyi Villa is here. He said he has something important to discuss with the master in private."

"Lu Ying? What can happen to him?" Ximen Jian said with some dissatisfaction: "We are celebrating the New Year. Is there anything we can't talk about after the New Year?"

Dissatisfied, he didn't dare to deny Lu Ying's face. He rubbed Fan Ji's body and said with a smile: "You drink it by yourself first. I'll come back when I go." (End of Chapter)
