Chapter 774 Xue Hefeng is dead
"I only have such a daughter, and I have always regarded her as a treasure. That day, she happily went to Yang Guogong's Mansion to visit her aunt, but she didn't expect to be insulted by the beast and then hanged her. I wish I could cut the beast one by one. I thought my husband was in the same mood as me, but he reached a private reconciliation with the Duke's Mansion and found an official position for the son of the other woman with my daughter's life!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale and her fists were clenched tightly.
"I don't agree. I'm going to sue the official, but Jiang Tian locked me up with his own hands and didn't even let me meet my daughter before she was buried. I asked him why he was like this. He was a father. He said that the Jiang family couldn't afford to lose face. Haha, my daughter is so well-behaved, so filial, and kind-hearted, why did she embarrass him? He was really very heartless and even mourned my daughter to the panic mountain without even a tombstone."
Mrs. Jiang's eyes were red, but she did not shed tears. Her hatred made her sharp.
"After Mrs. Jiang reported that her stepson had made an unjust attempt to obtain an official position, it would inevitably bring criticism, and the Jiang family would also blame you. I won't force you, you can make up your own decision. What I can guarantee is that if you really do this, I will definitely give your daughter justice." Liu Yunxiang said.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Liu Yunxiang, as if she was measuring how credible her words were.
"If Xue Hefeng cannot be brought to justice this time, then I will never have a chance." Mrs. Jiang said,
"I know."
"The princess is sure?"
“Yes, and this is the only chance.”
Mrs. Jiang lowered her head, silent for a while, then looked up at Liu Yunxiang: "It is better to report Jiang Tian than to report to my stepson. He and Xue Hefeng secretly colluded with each other and gave them privately, so that it would be easier for the superiors to pay attention."
Liu Yunxiang frowned, "But his wife sued her husband and followed the Darong Law and would go to jail."
Mrs. Jiang smiled, "Every day since my daughter's death has been torture for me. Life is worse than death, so do you think I'm afraid?"
"Mrs. Jiang..."
"Princess, I can sacrifice my life, just ask you to avenge my daughter!"
Facing Mrs. Jiang's trust, Liu Yunxiang nodded heavily, "Of course!"
After Liu Yunxiang and Mrs. Jiang separated, they had to go to the eldest princess's mansion after much thought. After Mrs. Jiang sued her husband, because Jiang Tian was the Minister of Works, and the person who colluded with him was Xue Hefeng, the Minister of Personnel, who was involved in corruption and bribery, and buying and selling official positions, they would definitely be handed over to Dali Temple for trial. The Yang Guogong Mansion would definitely interfere, which required the eldest princess to come forward and fight head-on with the Yang Guogong Mansion, so that the Dali Temple could hear the trial fairly and transparently.
The next day, the wife of the Minister of Works reported that the Minister of Works and the Minister of Personnel secretly colluded shocked the court and the people.
The emperor attached great importance to it and investigated Dali Temple strictly.
Three days later, a letter from the eldest princess said that Jiang Tian, the Minister of Works, did not admit to collusion with Xue Hefeng. As for how to explain how Xue Hefeng was seeking an official position for his son, in order to prove his innocence, he told him that his daughter was insulted by Xue Hefeng, and only admitted that she was threatened and tempted by Xue Hefeng.
"Today, Yan Mu followed the emperor to court. He asked him to write a letter in court and then compared it with the letter Xue Hefeng told him. Then he asked the civil servants to identify it one by one, and finally confirmed that the letter was imitating his handwriting, which means that the certificate was fake." Shangguan Xu took a sip of the tea ceremony.
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, she let out a long sigh, "Can you judge Yan Mu was wronged?"
Shangguan Xu shook his head, "Yang He accused him, but he still had not changed his words in the retrial, so only by finding the one million taels can he truly restore his innocence."
"It's not easy to talk about." Liu Yunxiang said helplessly.
Although Hongxuan and Xue Changfeng went to Yanzhou, these days have passed and there is still no reply. Obviously, the trace of the one million taels has not been found.
"At least this case has become active, Yan Mu's suspicion has become smaller. The emperor scolded the fourth prince, accusing him of being too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and should not have sealed the Zhenbei Palace. From now on, your Zhenbei Palace will be unblocked, and the shops under your name can also be opened for business."
"It's not in vain for me to work hard all these days, by the way, Mrs. Jiang?"
"The Minister of Works was demoted, and Mrs. Jiang sued her husband for his wife and sentenced her to one year."
Liu Yunxiang sighed. The result was predictable. After one year's sentence, it was reduced as appropriate.
"As for Xue Hefeng, his case has been implicated too much and has been handed over to Dali Temple for trial."
Xue Hefeng was detained in Jingzhao Mansion at this time and needed to be escorted to Dali Temple.
On the way to Lingyun Grain Shop, Liu Yunxiang happened to meet the escort team. Xue Hefeng was wearing shackles and wearing prison uniforms. He had long lost his previous arrogance and looked embarrassed.
When he saw Liu Yunxiang, he was not very emotional, but he was slowly confused. Perhaps he couldn't understand why Liu Yunxiang would trip him up, and he could not have thought that Feng would bite him back, and Mrs. Jiang would rather sue her husband to go to jail than take revenge on him.
At this time, a gray-haired woman squeezed into the front. She looked at Xue Hefeng who was passing by with resentment, took out rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs from the basket and smashed them on him.
"Beast! You have today too! God finally opened his eyes!"
The rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs hit Xue Hefeng's head, and he tried to throw them away. At this time, the people on both sides began to throw dirty things at him.
He couldn't hide or get rid of it, and soon he was covered in dirty clothes.
Liu Yunxiang retreated, breathed a long sigh, and walked towards Lingyun Grain Shop with Zijin.
"Girl, will he be sentenced to death?" Zi Jin wanted to.
Liu Yunxiang shook her head, "I don't know."
It depends on whether Dali Temple can be dug out more and whether it can be tried fairly under the pressure of the Duke of Yang Guo Mansion.
The master and servant walked out not far, and suddenly heard shouts coming from behind. They looked back and saw the people who were watching the fun fleeing everywhere.
Zi Jin hurriedly protected Liu Yunxiang and pushed them to the side of the road.
"It's dead! It's dead!"
"Everyone, please dodge it!"
"Run quickly!"
The people dispersed immediately. Liu Yunxiang looked over and saw the officials surrounding Xue Hefeng, and were pulling out his sword and looking around vigilantly.
And from the gap, Liu Yunxiang saw that Xue Hefeng had fallen into a pool of blood, with an arrow inserted in his chest.
"Girl, there is an assassin over there!" Zijin pointed to the second floor of the restaurant not far away for Liu Yunxiang to see.
When Liu Yunxiang looked over, he only saw the back of the man in black. He had already flashed into it.
"The assassin is in the restaurant! Always surround the restaurant, don't let him run away!"
The officials below shouted that the officials from Jingzhao Prefecture and Dali Temple were not vegetarians, so they quickly surrounded the restaurant and quickly forced the assassin out of the melee.
The assassin was very skilled in martial arts. Even though he was surrounded, he still broke out a way, and his arm was injured.
After the assassin rushed out, he glanced at Xue Hefeng, probably confirming whether he was dead, and then disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
"Girl, I look familiar with the martial arts skills of this man in black." Zi Jin said.
"Look familiar?" Liu Yunxiang was a little surprised.
Zi Jin nodded, "Did you remember the killer who killed the old man at Fahua Temple last time?
Liu Yunxiang mentioned in his heart, "What do you mean is the killer today and the one who is the same?"
Zi Jin scratched his head, "Anyway, it looks quite like it when it comes to the figure and moves."
Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief. Could it be him?
Killing that old man that day, killing Xue Hefeng today, and Xue Hefeng was the one who was in Qin Fei... Thinking of this, Liu Yunxiang's eyes lit up.
