Mrs. Yu looked at her husband with a pleading look on her face, "Master, please save my brother. If something happens to my brother, the Xia family will completely collapse. The Xia family cannot live without my brother as the backbone."
Her nephews have mediocre abilities, but they cannot support the Xia family's family status.
In the morning, Mrs. Yu heard that her brother Su Yibo was involved in a murder case. At that time, she didn't pay much attention to it. For a family like theirs, even if they killed someone with their own hands, they would have to release a few slaves and spend a lot of money.
With a little money, this matter can be solved easily, but at most it will only damage your reputation. There are many people who do this in the capital.
It was only because Su Yibo had been imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion and no news could be revealed that Mrs. Yu began to panic.
After knowing that Rong Bo had also been taken away, she fell into a state of anxiety and fear. She was afraid that it was because Rong Bo's true identity had been discovered. It would be fine if he was her brother. He always kept his mouth tight and obeyed Tianfu's rules.
No one dares to lynch his brother. But Rong Bo is different... He is not as determined as his brother. Shuntian Fuyin and his brother have always been at odds. Once he discovers the clues, he will not let them go easily.
elder brother.
Uncle Yu had a stern look on his face, "I don't even know what crimes he has committed privately, how can I help him?"
Their Yu family has been implicated by Dingquan, and now they can't raise their heads in the capital. They have been keeping a low profile as much as possible this year. Uncle Yu hopes that the emperor will forget about their family for a while, so how can he show up at this time? Especially his brother-in-law this time.
The incident gave him a strong uneasiness. He knew in his heart that although Shuntian Fuyin was not on good terms with his brother-in-law, he could be said to be a mature man and would not really offend anyone to death. This time the other party's attitude was very tough, regardless of
No one will give face to anyone who comes to inquire.
Brother-in-law, are you really going to cause a huge disaster?
Uncle Yu looked at his wife, "You and your brother often write letters to communicate. Do you know what he has been doing these days?"
Mrs. Yu was feeling guilty when she was unexpectedly asked about this matter, her expression flashing.
"I, I'm just a woman, how could I know. My brother will definitely not tell me these serious things."
Uncle Yu stared at her, "Are you sure?"
Mrs. Yu said: "What did I lie to you for?"
Because of her guilty conscience, she didn't even dare to ask her husband to take action anymore, and began to worry about herself instead. If something happened to her brother, she hoped that he would not implicate her. If she was here, she could still take care of her parents' family.
But what is supposed to come will always come.
The guards of Shuntian Prefecture came to the house and invited the old lady over.
Uncle Yu asked: "I wonder what my wife has done wrong?"
He still retains a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that his wife is simply being implicated by his brother-in-law.
The guard was quite sympathetic to the old man, but the case had not yet been thoroughly investigated, and he could not reveal the clues. "You will know in two days."
"Be mentally prepared."
These words made Uncle Yu even more uneasy.
After the old lady was taken away, she was never put back.
When Shuntian Mansion went to arrest people, it was in broad daylight, and their actions were open and aboveboard, without any cover-up.
These actions directly focused the attention of the people in the capital on the two families. Everyone was talking about it, and all kinds of outrageous speculations were flying everywhere.
The only thing they can be sure of is that they may not be able to get through Suyi's Mansion this time.
There were also people who wanted to get information from Su Yueling, but Su Yueling was nowhere to be seen. Of course she knew the truth, but there was no need to muddy the waters. She hadn't entered the palace these days, and the cold weather was also a reason.
The winter here in the capital is more difficult than in Dingnan Prefecture, with snowflakes already falling in November.
…
On November 9th, Emperor Rong Ji issued an imperial edict to scold Su Yibo. For his own selfish purposes, he instigated Rong Bo to pretend to be a relative of the emperor. In twenty years, he even embezzled a huge amount of 200,000 taels of river management funds. His crime
He should be punished, and the crime cannot be pardoned. He would first deprive Suyi of his title of earldom and sentence him to death by hanging, which would be executed three days later. All the property of Suyi's uncle's house would be confiscated, and all men over the age of twelve would be sentenced to three thousand miles of exile. Children under the age of twelve and
All female relatives were demoted to common people.
In order to be rich and prosperous, Rong Bo pretended to be a relative of the emperor, murdered his adoptive father and adoptive mother, and tried to kill his biological father and mother. He was originally sentenced to beheading, but because of his meritorious service, Su Yibo was sentenced to one hundred big bans and exiled three thousand miles after ten years.
Mrs. Yu encouraged Uncle Su Yi to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. The crime is unforgivable, so she will give her a glass of poisoned wine. Uncle Yu has committed the crime of neglecting his wife, and because he did not know about it, he will retain his title and be fined for three years.
This piece of news was like an earthquake, and the whole capital was shocked.
In the next few days, everyone's talk after dinner was about the Suyi Mansion.
Everyone was extremely shocked by what Su Yibo did. This Su Yibo Mansion was too courageous. He actually pretended to be a relative of the emperor. Now, he took the whole family into the abyss.
Su Yueling knew very well that Su Yibo's other fatal crimes had not yet been announced, such as forging weapons in private, which was tantamount to rebellion in everyone's eyes. Presumably, it was because of the forces that Su Yibo had completely handed over.
Go... Besides, many of the generals who followed Su Yibo in the past did so because he had the handle. Now, when Su Yibo dies, everyone who knows what to do will know what to do. As long as he doesn't go too far, the emperor will turn a blind eye.
Close one eye.
The charges on Suyi Boming's face were enough to punish the nine tribes. Therefore, after this sentence, many people praised the emperor Rong Jikuanhe.
As for Fang Bo, although he saved his life, one hundred big boards would be enough to kill him half of his life. He has brought down so many people, and I don’t know how many people hate him. He will only have to work as a coolie for the rest of his life.
It will be quite difficult, and there is a high probability that life will be worse than death.
At the same time, a piece of gossip also spread in the capital.
The evidence of Uncle Su Yi's crime was collected so quickly this time because Prince Kang was behind it. Prince Kang hated Uncle Su Yi deeply and had already dug a hole for him. For example, Fang Bo's biological father and mother were able to escape so smoothly.
Su Yibo's pursuit was protected by Prince Kang, and the Prince of Kang gave the couple five thousand taels as a reward.
As the late emperor's beloved son, King Kang had an underground force in his hands and planted nails in many people's homes.
Suddenly, many important officials in the imperial court looked at Prince Kang with something amiss.
Although Su Yibo brought the blame on himself, the poisonous snake like King Kang who was secretly ready to attack at any time was also very scary. Everyone searched the house thoroughly, and some ministers actually found some insiders.
Prince Kang's reputation as not being wealthy was worsened. Many ministers even consciously followed Prince Kang.
Prince Kang was very angry. He didn't understand why he, who had always been hiding in the background, was suddenly pushed to the surface. His power was also damaged a lot, and many informants in the palace and other palaces were removed.
Prince Kang can only keep a low profile as much as possible, but now I'm afraid many people are waiting to grab his pigtails.
Originally, it was a joyful thing to overthrow Su Yibo, but after exposing himself and making himself the center of attention, King Kang's mood suddenly became unhappy.
In this atmosphere, Yuan Baoshu and Wu Shu arrived in the capital to celebrate the New Year with Su Yueling.
