Although Xinpingbo and his wife Xinpingbo donate a lot of incense money to Huguo Temple and Jokhang Temple every year, in fact Xinpingbo does not believe in ghosts and gods very much.

But a series of events that happened recently made Mr. Xin Ping start to murmur in his heart, and he couldn't help but start to wonder if his family had committed something, or if there was something wrong with the feng shui somewhere.

I won’t talk about the previous series of events between You Jinxing and Zhou Yao. After all, Zhou Yao is dead now, and Mrs. Xin Pingbo is currently thinking about renewing your marriage to You Jinxing.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xin Pingbo began to regret that she was too anxious at that time. If it were delayed for a while, the Zhou family's affairs would come to light.

At that time, they could not get involved with Zhou Yao, and they would not be like now. Because of the Zhou family's affairs, the nobles in Beijing have been avoiding them recently.

He wanted to arrange another marriage for his son, but people in the capital were talking about him. To put it bluntly, they were afraid that the emperor's lingering anger would anger them.

The only good thing recently is that You Jinxing's legs are getting better.

Uncle Xin Ping was hoping that this matter would pass quickly, and maybe things would get better at home slowly.

Not two days after he thought this, he heard that someone was beating drums at Dali Temple to complain, and the clan members suing the You clan were tyrannical in the local area with the support of Xin Pingbo Mansion.

They seized more than [-] acres of prime paddy field from their family. When their family went to argue, they were severely beaten by the You family.

Not only did he say he had a nose and eyes, he also brought evidence.

The You family members forcibly bought all their land for fifty guan, and the names and fingerprints of the You family were written on the deed, which cannot be denied.

The Yushitai was moved upon hearing the news. In the past few days, the memorial to impeach Xin Pingbo flew to Emperor Jingyuan's desk like snowflakes.

Emperor Jingyuan was even more angry because of the Zhou family's affairs.

In addition, Xiao Yunyue, who "happened" to enter the palace that day, happened to hear about this incident, and said at the right time: "Uncle Xinping is just an earl, and he dares to condone his clansmen to this point. If this matter is not punished severely, who will have so many nobles in the capital? We don’t have a few clan members yet. If everyone follows suit, do we, Dayan, still have any laws to speak of?”

Emperor Jingyuan decided to hand over the matter to Dali Temple for thorough investigation, and at the same time sent an imperial envoy to Chen County to inspect the local area. If Dali Temple finds out that this matter is true, or if the imperial envoy catches Xingxing locally, he will immediately bring the local official in charge to Shengjing for questioning.

The evidence collected by Yuan Lingheng was also given to Dali Temple through the family who went to Beijing to complain. He has always been careful in his work, and these irrefutable evidences have undoubtedly strengthened the evidence of Xin Pingbo Mansion's guilt.

Before the matter could be found out, Emperor Jingyuan asked Xin Pingbo to stay at home and not go to court.

Uncle Xin Ping, who didn't know how Dali Temple investigated this matter, could only wander around the house like a headless fly every day.

In fact, a discerning person can tell at a glance that this matter is directed at Xin Pingbo Mansion. After all, Chen County is thousands of miles away from Shengjing. This family can come to Beijing without being blocked, and they are here in Shengjing. He didn't receive any news, and there was no one to help him. Uncle Xin Ping wouldn't believe it.

However, Uncle Xinping still had no idea who he had offended to bring about the death of Uncle Xinping's mansion.

However, when it comes to this matter, it is actually a big or small matter.

Just as Xiao Yunyue said, none of these nobles in Beijing have any relatives in their hometown. If they were using Jingzhong's name in the local area, and the nobles were in Jingzhong all year round, it would be fair to say they were unaware.

How to deal with it in the end depends on the investigation of Dali Temple and what the holy intention is.

Xin Pingbo originally wanted to have a private meeting with the young minister of Dali Temple who was responsible for the matter, but was stopped by You Jinxing who came after hearing the news.

He knew very well what kind of person Xue Shaoqing, the young minister of Dali Temple, was. It was not easy for someone to sit in this position at this age and be deeply trusted by the emperor. Xue Shaoqing is also well-known in Beijing for disowning his relatives. When investigating a case, he dares to arrest even his own family members. It would be a good thing if Uncle Xin Ping didn't go looking for him, but if he did, I'd be afraid that the matter would reach the emperor's ears that day.

The current situation in Xinpingbo Mansion will undoubtedly make the emperor hate them even more.

But if he accepts his fate like this, Uncle Xin Ping cannot accept it. But now there is no one in Beijing who dares to help them privately.

Even some old friends from the past are vague when talking about this matter, or they refuse it repeatedly.

After Yuan Lingheng learned about Xin Pingbo's private activities, he just sneered and handed over a note the next day.

However, it was rare that Yuan Miaoyi didn't notice any of these things. She had been so busy recently with Yuan Lingheng's engagement that she almost couldn't keep her feet off the ground.

Logically speaking, Yuan Miaoyi, a young lady who is still at home, cannot take care of this matter.

But when it came to the Marquis Rong'an's mansion, there was no hostess who could take charge of the affairs except the Tai Madam, and the Tai Madam was too young to keep up with her energy.

The Yuan family has no other relatives, and the wife's natal family is not in Beijing.

Although Zheng Yunyu can help a little, she is also the head wife of Pei Mansion after all, and she has a lot of things to do every day.

Yuan Miaoyi's eyes were dizzy after looking at the account books for the past two days. Even the purse she had embroidered some time ago and the new knot she had made were brought to Xiao Yunyue by someone else.

Xiao Yunyue also knew that Yuan Miaoyi had been very busy recently. He hadn't seen anyone for a while, so he could only do more to muddy the waters in the Xinping Uncle Mansion matter.

On the day when the Rong'an Houfu went to the Yu family to formally propose marriage, the Xinping Bofu also came down with the deal.

The news from the imperial envoy was that the family who came to Beijing to complain told the truth, and that was not all they said. The county magistrate of Chen County was already escorting him back to Beijing for questioning.

The memorandum submitted to the emperor from Dali Temple stated that the Xinping Prefecture was not unaware of this matter.

Because the You clan in Chen County would send a large amount of gold and silver to Xin Pingbo Mansion in Beijing every year.

If Uncle Xinping's mansion really didn't know, then why did the Chen County clan members send so much money every year, and how could Uncle Xinping accept these things without the slightest hesitation or suspicion?
  Although Xin Pingbo once went to Emperor Shu to defend himself, saying that he really did not know what the people of Chen County had done, this excuse was obviously very pale in the face of the irrefutable evidence presented by Dali Temple.

All the tribesmen involved in this matter were exiled to southern Xinjiang, and all their family property was confiscated after subsidizing the victims. The magistrate of Chen County resigned, and the governor of Qinzhou was fined two years' salary.

Xinpingbo, on the other hand, was stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner because he allowed his clansmen to do this, which was against national law, and because he accepted a large amount of gold and silver money.

Uncle Xinping has been demoted, so naturally he can no longer live in his mansion. In addition, Xinpingbo's mansion has been fond of extravagance over the years. After the whole family was demoted to common people, there was not much money left.

You Jinxing's leg required external application of precious medicinal materials every day. After being demoted to a commoner, these medicinal materials were naturally no longer available. As the wound worsened, the leg became unfit for walking as the original medical order said. .

After receiving the news and guessing that Yuan Lingheng was responsible for this matter, Yuan Miaoyi just smiled and focused all her body and mind on the upcoming happy event.
