Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 167

After reporting to the official, it was Shao Ziyu who personally took over the case from the yamen to investigate, which damaged the reputation of Miss Chen's family and the reputation of Shao's family.

Shao Ziyu started from those who spread rumors, arrested them directly, caught them one by one, and cared who said something behind you and passed it on to how many people.

The yamen in the east of the city locked up a lot of people at once. Shao Ziyu took them out and asked one by one, who asked him to pass it on, and how much money was given to him. There are two tricks, and besides, this is not a dead body kept by your side, you would rather die than surrender, seeing half of your life will be lost when the board falls, so why don't you recruit one after another.

So Eleven and Ah Jiu brought people to the door to fetch them.

The one who got it back was not the mastermind behind it, and those who refused to say it were then punished and paid money to ask people to spread such untrue rumors, which damaged the reputation of the girl's family, at least the reputation of the girl's family was ruined, and at worst The girl's family can't bear the humiliation and directly shows her innocence by dying, how can she afford it.

Shao Ziyu’s method of arresting people, no one in this city dares to spread it any more, and if someone said it, he would be arrested. No matter who instigated it, he would be beaten up for spreading unsuitable rumors at the beginning, and then interrogated. Those who were locked up for a long time were frightened of being beaten.

On Shao Ziyu's side, he finally obtained reliable evidence that the person who asked these people to spread these words came from the Marquis of Qin's Mansion.

Naturally, he didn't refer to the master of the Marquis of Qin's mansion, and contacted people outside, that was all done by servants. Shao Ziyu didn't go to the man in Marquis of Qin's mansion, he just released all the arrested people, what should he say? They also knew that people from Qinhou's Mansion instructed them to do this. As for which one, everyone guessed for themselves. Wouldn't it be the Second Wife of Qinhou's Mansion and her daughter Qin Jiasi who were invited to the Chen family's banquet someday? Miss, the Fourth Miss of the Qin family was the one who caused Miss Chen to accidentally fall into the water.

With such a synthesis, there is no need for anyone to remind anything. People can use their imagination to round up the whole thing. The Fourth Miss of the Qin family did not know why the critical Miss Chen fell into the water. It took time, and no one else could react. The young master of the He family jumped into the lake to save people. Unfortunately, the Miss Chen family didn't let him save her. She hid in the water to protect her reputation and refused to come up. Another trick is to ruin people's reputation by gossip.

But then again, why does the young master of the He family cooperate with the fourth Miss of the Qin family so much? It seems that the He family and the Qin family have no in-law relationship, and there is no in-law relationship. The young lady who is about to marry and the young master who is about to marry It seems inappropriate to be so close.

One can imagine how important the reputation of a daughter's family is at the age of marriage. How many people look at it. If the family background is comparable, it depends on the character. It is rumored that there is a problem with the character, and those who originally intended to vote for him at.

The second wife of the Qin family was so miserable that she couldn't speak. It wasn't her daughter who sent someone to spread the word, but she was indeed from the Qin family. After questioning, she found that the person behind this was not someone she could provoke, but her own family The daughter's reputation can be damaged in this way, so she went to ask the old lady of the Qin family, and the old lady of the Qin family only said, since the He family is good, let the He family do it.

In this way, this also contributed to a marriage.

Lin Qingran naturally knew that the fourth miss of the Qin family hadn't sent people to spread the rumors. Shao Ziyu's investigation with such fanfare was actually to show the person who ordered the fourth miss of the Qin family that the Shao family was not afraid of her. The princess is not the eldest princess who can cover the sky with one hand. Her mother and concubine have no power in the palace. The matter is really leaked out, whose family's face is lost, and it depends on who the royal family is in charge of.

The Qin family also gave an explanation later, handing it over to a person in the government, saying that it was not at the instigation of anyone, but the person himself spread some words indiscriminately.

The Qin family asked for such an argument, Shao Ziyu sentenced this person to 20 years in prison in public, the Qin family would use someone to cover the crime, so he dared to slap him in the face, knowing what he meant, he would not let him go, and locked him up for half his life
In mid-July, this incident was completely subsided. If Shao Ziyu grasped the law like this, who would dare to spread rumors about Mr. Shao's family in the future?

There was no sound at all from the Qin family. The fourth miss of the Qin family was tricked this time, and she wanted to explain it, but how could she explain it? Can't get away from her.

As for Xiu and the Eldest Princess, they picked it up cleanly, and they couldn't involve her.

Lin Qingran didn't care what the motive was. Her husband made such an exaggeration when investigating the case. This incident must have reached the ears of the empress dowager. Ran can't take care of it, someone will take care of it

In August, the Shao family's new house was settled. It was the one that Shao Jingbo had chosen. After Guan Yan went to see it, it was indeed quite quiet. It hadn't been many years since it was completed cleanly. If you want to buy it, you can move in after basic repairs.

Lin Qingran paid the silver and sent someone to clean and repair it. At the beginning of September, she was summoned to the palace once by the imperial concubine. This time, the imperial concubine made it clear that she was here for the sake of the Princess Xiuhe.

At that time, Shao Ziyu's trial was so exaggerated that he used his authority to catch rumors in the whole city. The empress dowager in the palace knew about it, and so did Li Taifei, the biological mother of Princess Xiu and the eldest princess.

When Lin Qingran arrived, this Concubine Li was also in the Palace of Harmony, and her tone was very gentle. The Concubine Gui had already concealed the matter of the brocade bag from the Empress Dowager for her once. Let the empress dowager know that even the eldest princess will have a sad life in the future, and the children of Xiuhe and the future, let alone the title of princess, are afraid that they will not even be allowed to enter the palace.

"Ms. Concubine Li, the matter of the brocade bag has passed for several years. In fact, the matter of the Chen family has also passed this time. The empress dowager wanted to pursue Xiu and Princess Dachang, and the concubine couldn't say anything." They didn't find out As for the evidence, nothing was pursued, so Lin Qingran didn't want to bother with it.

The Concubine Gui looked at her without making a sound. The Chen family and the Shao family were really angered by this matter.

"Xiuhe's temper is also clearer to the family. The first emperor spoiled her for a few years at that time, and her temper developed, and then she became a bit domineering in the palace for a few years. If she had been trained by the Empress Dowager, her tone would be It's hard to swallow." Concubine Li's tone was soft, but what she said meant this, and the implication was that if she couldn't swallow it, she had to find someone to vent her anger on?

Lin Qingran's expression changed, and she spoke straightforwardly, "Ms. Li Taifei, since we have talked about this, the concubine also said bluntly that there is no strong evidence found by the husband today to question the eldest princess. If there is, It was she who instigated the Fourth Miss of the Qin family to do this, and then sent someone to spread the rumors, and the Chen family directly appealed to the emperor and the empress dowager, begging for the decision."

Concubine Li was taken aback, she didn't expect that Lin Qingran's temper would be so merciless when she said something, the noble concubine on the side looked at it with a smile, and didn't talk to her, Concubine Li glanced at her, then smiled at Lin Qingran Said, "Xiu He did something wrong in this matter, and she also knew it was wrong, it's just that the child has a thin skin."

Lin Qingran remained silent. If the Empress Dowager didn't know about this matter and didn't start to investigate, who would pursue the wrongdoing.

"Ms. Concubine Li, this matter is beyond what the concubine can say. The concubine has nothing to do with how the empress dowager will deal with it." Lin Qingran replied to her lightly.

"If the Empress Dowager asks you about brocade bags, please ask Mrs. Shao to take care of you. After all, they are all in Luodu City, and there are many places to take care of in the future." The purpose of meeting Lin Qingran with the palace, the imperial concubine will not say anything, Lin Qingran will not tell, at least the matter of sending brocade bags back then can be concealed, then she can still say something for her daughter in front of the empress dowager.

Lin Qingran also took a gamble in her heart, why did she still hide it for the eldest princess, and the empress dowager wanted to punish her, why didn't she confess that her daughter is a princess, and that family's child is not worthless.

"Sister Li, if the Empress Dowager wants to investigate, there is no need to ask Qingran." The Concubine Gui reminded her, and Concubine Li's expression changed slightly, and the Concubine continued, "Even if the Empress Dowager really finds out Well, that's not what we said, you're asking Qingran to agree like this, it's like forcing someone else."

"Sister, that's not what I meant." Concubine Li knew she was displeased by Concubine Gui, so she hurriedly explained.

The Concubine Gui shook her head, "It doesn't matter what you mean, if you really want to know something, just go to the Empress Dowager." The Concubine Gui also doesn't want to raise her daughter for her, as the saying goes, you can't raise yourself well , then wait for others to educate you, and you will only be left with distressed shares.

As expected by the Concubine Gui, the Empress Dowager did not summon anyone to ask questions. She thoroughly investigated the things that Xiu and the eldest princess did back then, and also thoroughly investigated what she did after they got married. Then, directly According to the decree, Xiu and the eldest princess are not allowed to go out in the princess mansion. They pray for blessings and eat fast. When will they reflect on it and when will they go out again?
