Volume 2, Chapter 331: Who Helps

Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli didn't have enough status to attack King Rui directly, but they could also attack from his minions. For example, the censor who impeached Dongming Ziyu, and the minister of official affairs who added fuel to the flames.

Such important matters must be left to the most trusted people. It involves court officials and King Rui, and neither of them can trust them. Dongming Ziyu wanted to work early and late to take up his post, and Shangguan Ruoli decided to do it himself.

However, before she could take action, the censor's dandy son was in the brothel. He was beaten to death by the grandson of the Minister of Rites with a vase because he competed with the grandson of the Minister of Official Affairs for the courtesan.

In full view of the public, the murder could not be concealed and became a huge scandal.

Of course, the censor would not just let go of the grandson of the Minister of Civil Affairs. He would not be selfish and demanded severe punishment. The two families would turn against each other.

King Rui secretly tried to mediate, but to no avail. He had managed to win over both of them, but now there was internal strife, and he was not good to anyone, and he was very upset.

Other censors and officials did not miss this opportunity, and took the opportunity to impeach the censor and the Minister of Rites. The emperor was furious, demoted their official positions, sent them to other places as officials, and ordered Jing Zhaoyin to strictly follow the law.

King Rui had lost his arm and was so distressed that he tried so hard to win over other officials and had no time to plot against Dongming Ziyu.

They were also ordered by others and did not harm anyone's life. Shangguan Ruoli did not want their lives, so the matter was over.

The first month has passed and spring has arrived, which is a good time to grow flowers. The dozens of pots of precious orchid ramets she gave to the space seemed to be filled with pots of silver.

Who knows, Dongming Ziyu said: "Leave me two pots, and I will give them to Master Su Daru and Master Zhikong."

Su Qiqi dug a hole in the flower pot with a shovel and said, "Okay."

Dongming Ziyu looked at the lotus pond in the space. The lotus flowers were curling up and the fish and shrimps inside occasionally jumped out of the water. It was full of life and made people feel relaxed and happy.

Su Qiqi planted the flowers, patted the soil on her hands, and asked: "Is the incident between the son of the censor and the grandson of the minister of rites a coincidence?"

Dongming Ziyu brought the spiritual spring water from the lotus pond and helped water the orchids, "I don't know, I didn't ask anyone to investigate in detail. It didn't happen to us originally, but if someone knows and we investigate again, we will be involved."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "That's right. I wonder if Shuan Zhu has caught up with his parents."

Dongming Ziyu frowned, "Don't make the old lady angry."

Shuan Zhu had already caught up with Mrs. Qian and had seen the gate of Fengcheng.

Mrs. Qian was so angry that she almost vomited blood, slapped her thighs and cried and cursed.

Old Man Dong said: "Okay, don't cry. If you are sick, how will Erya go out?"

Mrs. Qian blew her nose and said, "Don't rest in Fengcheng. Go back to Liulin County overnight! I have to beat that unscrupulous man to death!"

The motorcade sped up and arrived at Liulin County in the middle of the night. At this time, Mrs. Qian calmed down, broke down the door of Dongyouyin's house before midnight, and returned to her home in Nanbeixi Village.

I was so angry that I didn't sleep all night. Early tomorrow morning, I asked Dalang to call Dong Youyin and his newly married third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang.

As soon as she saw someone, Mrs. Qian shouted angrily: "Kneel down!"

Dong Youyin still didn't know what happened, and stood there sternly, with a look of dissatisfaction, "Mom, what did I do wrong again?"

Mrs. Qian picked up the tea bowl in her hand and smashed it into his face. The tea leaves were all over his silk robe, but the water was not hot and did not burn him.

Dong Youyin wanted to jump high, but was pulled by Mrs. Zhang and knelt down.

Mrs. Qian said to Higashikata: "Tell him."

Dong Youtian was also very angry, so he told the story, and then said: "My fourth brother was accused in the Jinluan Palace. The emperor became angry and asked the censor to check you!"

When Dong Youyin heard that the emperor sent someone to check him, the blood on his face instantly faded, and his eyes were full of horror, "I didn't do it! It has nothing to do with me!"

Mrs. Qian shouted angrily: "Didn't you buy the land belonging to the orphans and widows? Didn't you force them to hang themselves?"

Dong Youyin trembled and said: "It was the widow who seduced me, and I had something to do with her. She wanted to treat her son, and she asked me for money. Mrs. Zhang was in charge of the money, and I had no money to give her!"

She said she wanted to sell the land, which was all good paddy fields. When I thought about it, only with land can I have confidence, so I said it would be better to sell it to me. Buying land is a serious matter, and Mrs. Zhang will also pay for it."

Mrs. Zhang also turned pale with fright and said: "That's what happened. He bought the land and there is a land deed to prove it. He is related to the widow, but I don't know about it."

Only then did Mrs. Qian take a closer look at Mrs. Zhang. She was small and exquisite, very delicate, and very attractive. Her face and eyes were quite pleasing to the eye, and she seemed to be a sharp and capable person.

Dong Youyin kowtowed and said: "Mom, dad, you must ask the fourth child to save me! I didn't harm anyone! She did it voluntarily! I promised to steal the land deed and return it to her when I had the chance, and she was quite happy."

I don’t know why she hanged herself! Don’t you know me yet? No matter how bastard you are, you can’t do anything to bully others!”

Mrs. Qian saw that he didn't seem to be cheating and asked, "What about accepting people's money?"

Dong Youyin's eyes flashed, and he said with a guilty conscience: "Can I refuse to accept what they brought to my door? I didn't promise them anything! The fourth child doesn't want to see me. I know that I am just short of money, and they are sending money.

, I took it.”

Dong Youliang frowned and said: "The cashier's matter is easy to handle. It's not a big crime to send the money back. The key is that human life is a big lawsuit."

Dong Youyin hurriedly asked for help: "What should we do? Second brother, you are the smartest, think of a way quickly!"

Dong Youliang asked: "The one who knows the most is probably the widow's son. What about the child?"

Dong Youyin said blankly: "I don't know, I haven't seen him since his mother died."

Old Man Dong said: "Look for him quickly, don't let others find him first. If he dies without any evidence, it will be troublesome."

Dong Youyin got up and ran out, Dalang quickly followed.

However, the child was not found. He was not at home or with relatives, and his whereabouts were unknown.
