The Marquis Mansion of Nan'an has been around for hundreds of years, with a large family and a large population. There were constant discussions among the clan about what Huan Li had done. Some clan elders even went to the Ministry of Punishment to teach Huan Li a lesson based on his identity, but Huan Li beat him out with his bodyguards.
Huan Li's six relatives did not recognize his cruel and ruthless behavior, which made the family even more dissatisfied.
Of course, this does not include all Hu family members.
Hu Ying, the Minister of Dali Temple, personally suppressed the discussions among the clan and even went to Nan'an Marquis Mansion to persuade Prince Hu to temporarily calm down his anger. Even if he did not try to ease the relationship between father and son, he should not add insult to injury to Huan Li at this moment.
The tender green tea leaves floated in the clear tea water, and Hu Siqing's soft voice came from the faint fragrance of tea.
"A while ago, your aunt went over to chat with your mother for a while. Your mother still wants to go to the Jingxin Temple to practice practice. If this is your mother's wish, I only hope that she can find great freedom in Buddhism."
Huan Li bowed slightly. When his younger brother wanted to go to school when he was older, it was ridiculous that his father actually asked him to withdraw from the inner hall and give his place in the inner hall to his younger brother. At that time, it was this cousin who spoke up and stopped this ridiculous thing.
Huan Li has always been grateful to this cousin. Huan Li said, "My mother's life is not easy. If she can live a peaceful life, it is also my wish."
The sunset filtered in through the window and fell on Hu Siqing's square face. His expression became more and more solemn, "Now that things have happened, it would be too biased for me to say anything about trying to persuade you to stay. But it's just not good to let your mother go like this. I
I sent people to Jingxin Temple to find a proper and quiet courtyard where I can practice Buddhism intensively and live a stable life."
Just when Huan Li was about to decline, Hu Siqing seemed to understand what he meant, waved his hand and said, "Don't refuse. If you refuse even this, how will the outsiders view the Hu family?"
Huan Li pursed his lips and lowered his eyes. The setting sun cast a golden light on his long eyelashes, obscuring the look in his eyes. Hu Siqing asked, "You know the current situation of the Zhou family better than I do. Mrs. Yan
When did you know about the girl?"
"Depending on my age, it is impossible for me to know about the Yan family's case. At first, I just felt that there was something wrong with Yan's family. She and Zhou Dalang were a famous loving couple. I heard that she had a good reputation in the Zhou family. Zhou Dalang was ill and she was not dressed properly.
After Zhou Dalang recovered, she was so tired that she fell ill." Huan Li said, "I observed her in prison for three days. She behaved calmly, ate regularly, and was not worried at all. This is unreasonable."
Hu Siqing nodded, "It's not common sense, there must be something fishy."
Hu Siqing asked, "Your grandfather is coming back soon. How are you going to explain to him?"
"Explain what?" Huan Li asked.
Hu Siqing looked at Huan Li, "What do you think?"
"I am not the cause, so I don't need explanation. Whoever makes the effect needs explanation."
Hu Siqing keenly discovered that this nephew was different from before. Huan Li's appearance was very gentle. This kind of gentleness that was more like a scholar was completely different from the Marquis of Nan'an who started his career by martial arts. But at the same time, there was an extreme hidden in Huan Li's bones.
Because of his strong power, the Zhou family cursed Princess Xin'an, and he wanted to kill the Zhou family even if his family's reputation was humiliated.
However, this strength is still hidden under his gentle appearance. At a glance, he is still the young and gentle boy.
But now, Huan Li's strength is no longer hidden. Even in the face of the family's current predicament, he will say something forcefully, and he does not need to give any explanation for it!
This child has grown up.
Hu Siqing suddenly had the idea in his mind that talking to an adult man is different from talking to a child. Hu Siqing's eyes showed relief and a hint of regret. He patted Huan Li on the shoulder and said, "It's good to have something in mind.
"
Marquis Nan'an and his entourage rode quickly to the outside of the city, and there were people waiting for them.
The Marquis of Nan'an has always disliked his itinerary being known to outsiders. If a tribesman hadn't rushed forward to attack the generals, the Marquis of Nan'an would not have known that they were waiting outside the city. Because he was a close elder in the clan and his biological second uncle, the Marquis of Nan'an dismounted and said, "So
What a coincidence, why did my second uncle come outside the city?"
"I live in the village outside the city every day. I will come here when the city gate is opened before dawn, and I will go back when it is dark and the city gate is closed, just waiting for you. Boss, if you don't come back, our Hu family will
Something big is going to happen!" The elder of the two tribes waved his cane and struck the ground sadly, making an aggressive sound.
"The matter at home is not urgent. I have to go to the palace to see Your Majesty now. My second uncle might as well go back to the house first and pay my respects to my second uncle after I finish my report." Nan'an Hou said kindly.
The clan elder nodded, "Business matters, so you go ahead. I'll be relieved to know you're back." Then he added sadly, "It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! The father is not like the father, and the son is not like the son, especially
That An Li is so unseemly!"
Marquis Nan'an helped the clan leader get on the carriage and continued riding to the imperial capital.
When the Marquis of Nan'an came to the palace to see his majesty, Mu Anzhi happened to be reporting matters in front of the emperor. Zhou Yue, Zhou's family official who was an official abroad, had been escorted back to the imperial capital. Zhou's eldest grandson and Zhou Yue, who were studying abroad, were also arrested. Probably
It was Yan Lin's identity that shocked the Zhou family, and the piles of evidence provided by Yan Lin made it impossible for the Zhou family to deny it. The Zhou family's uncle's family, the Niu family, and their entire family were also imprisoned, and their property was sealed.
Liquidation of household assets.
Most of the Criminal Department is busy with this case. Every confession, witness, physical evidence, and supporting evidence must be consistent before a closed case file can be written. And the cases that the Zhou family has committed over the years relying on their strong backing, plus the size of the case, will be hundreds of thousands of times.
Ten piles.
The Zhou family is probably broken, so the explanation is relatively straightforward, especially since the Zhou family also has an accountant, Yan Lin, who knows everything about the accounts. The person who is difficult to interrogate is Nan'an Crown Prince. This prince does not have to go on errands now, but he is very
If Mu Anzhi refused to cooperate, he was not in a hurry and arrested all those close to Prince Nan'an.
There was a steward whom Prince Nan'an loved who was hiding in the Marquis' Mansion. Mu Anzhi asked people to guard the Prince's Mansion in Nan'an. As soon as Prince Nan'an left the house, Huan Li kidnapped the steward when he returned home and sent him to the Ministry of Punishments.
This time Mu Anzhi came to ask Emperor Mu Xuan for permission to arrest Shandong Zhaowu General Liu Zhong and return to the imperial capital for trial. Emperor Mu Xuan looked through the files on the Zhou family case and the retrial of the Yan family case, and said to Mu Anzhi, "Let the Ministry of Punishment issue an arrest warrant."
"Yes." Mu An said, "There is one more thing. Every time I ask questions, Nan'an Crown Prince does not say a word and responds in silence. I ask your Majesty's permission for torture."
Emperor Mu Xuan's face darkened slightly, "That is a high official of the third rank of the imperial court and the heir apparent of the Hou family. Are you being a bit rash in doing this?"
"Based on the evidence, I think it is too conservative." Mu Anzhi added.
"He will do it." Emperor Mu Xuan glanced at Mu An, picked up the tea and said, "You are the prince. In every case, in addition to the facts of the case, you must also learn to take a long-term view."
"When I raise my eyes, I can only see the case, not anything else."
Emperor Mu Xuan took a sip of tea to avoid being choked to death by Mu Anzhi, and said calmly, "If you can't see it, just wait a moment and think about it more later. Then I can safely give you more important tasks."
"Let's talk about it later. Even if His Majesty protects the Marquis of Nan'an Mansion so much, we may not be able to get to the bottom of this case. That will happen later."
Emperor Mu Xuan put down the teacup heavily and sent Mu Anzhi away with a few words of reprimand.
When Mu Anzhi stepped back, he felt that the world was unbelievable. In the past, he wished that this person would look at him more and think more highly of him. As a result, this person never looked at him. Now he is neither respectful nor polite.
Just say what you have to say. When something unpleasant happens, you must first make yourself happy before talking about it. This person has to give him a more important job!
snort!
Mu Anzhi sneered and walked out of the imperial study. He saw Nan'an Hou waiting for his Majesty on the corridor of the imperial study. Nan'an Hou and other officials saw Mu An and stood up to salute. Mu Anzhi glanced at Nan'an Hou.
, flicked his sleeves, and strode away with a cold face.
An adult who was familiar with the Marquis of Nan'an whispered, "Your Highness has always been like this, so you don't have to worry about it."
The Marquis of Nan'an said, "Your Highness, Long Zi, is majestic."
The chamberlain came out to announce his presence to the Marquis of Nan'an.
Following the chamberlain, he walked quickly to the imperial study. The Marquis of Nan'an bowed respectfully and said, "I beg your majesty to forgive me!"
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "Get up. You are working hard in Nanyi. What crime do you have?"
"I have no skills in teaching my children. I am ashamed of Your Majesty." The Marquis of Nan'an kowtowed heavily, feeling extremely ashamed.
Emperor Mu Xuan waved his hand and said, "If you hadn't noticed something different about Nanyi's military rations, I would have been kept in the dark. As for the current Crown Prince's affairs, what does this have to do with you? Uncle, please get up." He signaled to the chamberlain to take charge.
Help up.
Emperor Mu Xuan first asked what happened in Nanyi Prefecture. The Marquis of Nan'an said, "The young Marquis is getting older, and Princess Anguo also has a group of people who are quite loyal. The leader of the natives in Nanyi Prefecture is filled with excitement. It is not necessarily malicious."
, not necessarily with good intentions.”
"How is it over there in the southwest?" This question refers to the Yang family of the Zhennan Prince who controls the southwest. The Zhennan Prince lives in the land of Yunnan and Guizhou. In name, he is a vassal and pays tribute, but in reality he is no different from a vassal state.
"The Yang family has always been stable, but this year, on Princess Anguo's birthday, the young prince of the Yang family came to congratulate her in person with generous gifts."
"Is the princess twenty-seven years old this year?" Emperor Mu Xuan sighed, "After the murder of the Anguo Marquis, the princess stayed at home for the sake of the family and took charge of the affairs of the marquis's house. Now think about it, the Anguo clan has been loyal to the court for generations. I think about it.
They siblings are like their own children. If there is any quarrel between them, they will take advantage of the villain's will and make An Guohou uneasy underground."
The Marquis of Nan'an scratched the side of his cheek and said sheepishly, "When I was in Nanyi, the old minister took advantage of his age and thick skin, so he tentatively asked the princess if she wanted to get married. The princess almost didn't spit.
On the veteran’s face.”
Emperor Mu Xuan couldn't help laughing when he saw the embarrassment of Marquis Nan'an.
The Marquis of Nan'an hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. I think that our imperial capital also has many good sons. If the princess is interested, she can ask your Majesty to choose a son-in-law for her."
"Let's keep it like this for now. The princess has always been fierce. She didn't roll up her sleeves and started fighting with you to give you face." Emperor Mu Xuan smiled, "Just don't let them really have a bad feeling between the siblings and take advantage of others."
"Yes." Marquis Nan'an accepted the order.
After talking about the incident in Nanyi Province, Emperor Mu Xuan handed some files involving the Nan'an Crown Prince to the Marquis of Nan'an, "My uncle is not an outsider. Please take a look at this matter of A Yin."
Marquis Nan'an took it over respectfully. Although he held a military position, he came from a noble family and was a master of writing. Looking at the ten lines at a glance, Marquis Nan'an's old face turned red. He returned the case to the emperor with both hands. He knelt down again in shame, with tears in his eyes.
He said, "I have no face to garrison Nanyi any longer. Your Majesty, please take back your military power and appoint more talented people!"
"I told you that this has nothing to do with my uncle." Emperor Mu Xuan stood up from the case and personally helped Nan'an Hou. "I thought it was just a small case. A Yin likes the Zhou family. I know. He is the eldest son of the Hou family, and there are many people around him.
It’s nothing to have a concubine by your side. Princess Xin’an has done something wrong with the Zhou family, so she has to give Xin’an an explanation. But if I don’t see the irrefutable evidence of the Zhou family’s affairs with my own eyes, I can’t believe it.
How dare you be so bold!"
"There is also an old case of the Yan family." Emperor Mu Xuan looked at the Marquis of Nan'an, "I remember that when the Yan family was sentenced to be executed as a prisoner, my uncle even wrote a memorial to plead for the Yan family, saying that the Yan family had supplied military rations for many years and had done nothing wrong.
For the sake of my hard work in the past, I will spare the lives of the Yan family."
"Yes." The Marquis of Nan'an said, "When I first came to Nanyi to learn how to command an army, the military supplies were transported by the Yan family. When I learned the news, it was too late, and the emperor had already passed the memorial after the fall."
"Now the Yan family's daughter has come forward to report that A Yin and the Zhou family colluded with Zhaowu General Li Chong to steal military supplies and create an unjust case! The Yan family's case is an unjust case!" Emperor Mu Xuan said in a deep voice, "This case has the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty involved.
Look, look at me, and look at the Nan'an Marquis Mansion! Uncle, tell me how this case will end!"
It is so hard to bear the blame from the king of a country. For a veteran like Nan'an Hou, even if he is mentally prepared, he can't help but feel his cheeks burning and feeling extremely ashamed. The corners of Nan'an Hou's lips pursed into a straight line, and finally the corners of his lips trembled.
Trembling again, the Marquis of Nan'an bowed and clasped his fists, trying his best to suppress a trace of sadness, "If this matter is true, please don't show any pity to me. Your Majesty, please deal with it according to the laws of the country!"
"I ask Your Majesty to rule your ministers and educate your children in a bad way, and it is your fault to be lax in running the family!"
Emperor Mu Xuan sighed softly, "Uncle, please choose another son!"
