Mu Anzhi took the money back to his house so that his sister Yuhua could live happily.
I can't help but find it ridiculous. It turns out that many things can be obtained without any emotion, just by means.
At this time, something big or small happened in the court. An elderly censor, the Marquis of Nan'an, had no way of teaching his children and running the family in a bad way.
This is actually a very normal thing. If Hu Yuan committed such a serious crime, Nan'an Hou would naturally be involved.
But at this moment, Censor Zhuo personally came forward to defend Marquis Nan'an, proving that Marquis Nan'an knew nothing about the matter.
Censor Zhuo angrily rebuked the old censor who impeached the Marquis of Nan'an, "The Marquis of Nan'an only returns to the court for more than a month every year. In the year when Hu Yuan violated the law, he had already passed the crown ceremony, married a wife, had a son, and was an adult!
How could the Marquis of Nan'an lead the troops and be responsible for the crimes committed by Hu Yuan, who is thousands of miles away? It is really eye-opening that such ridiculous things can happen in the world!"
"Hu Yuan did not hesitate to create injustice and seize the Yan family's property, which amounted to more than three million taels. If the Marquis of Nan'an said he did not know about such a thing, would the Censor believe it?"
"I believe it!" Yushi Zhuo shouted angrily, "The Marquis of Nan'an is an important official of the dynasty. He has been stationed in Nanyi for many years and has outstanding military exploits. If you have conclusive evidence that you participated in the battle against the Marquis of Nan'an, hand over the evidence now!"
The old censor said loudly, "It is the censor's duty to hear and report things."
Zhuo Yushi frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Then which direction did you smell the wind? You might as well tell me!"
The old censor was speechless.
Zhuo Yushi continued, "The three departments will review the military ration case, and you are not among the officials who will review it! The case has not yet been completed. How did you know the amount of three million taels?"
There were beads of sweat on the old censor's forehead, and his body began to tremble slightly.
Zhuo Yushi looked the old Yushi up and down with disdain, "You didn't hear it from some gust of wind, right?"
Zhuo Yushi was furious, "Hearing about something and framing a minister are two different things! The generals are fighting in the field, their wealth and life are hanging by a thread. Do you know how many achievements the Marquis of Nan'an has made for the government, and how many scars the old Marquis has on his body?"
?”
Zhuo Yushi's cold eyes stared at the old Yushi's eyes, "It is extremely shameful for a son to sin against his father!"
"Isn't that right, Li Yushi?" Zhuo Yushi asked sarcastically, "Fifteen years ago, the former criminal doctor who was responsible for the Yan family's unjust imprisonment, and the Taichang Temple minister Xu Shao who was just dismissed a few days ago due to the Yan family's old case,
He's your illegitimate son, right?"
Li Yushi, who was already on the verge of collapse, seemed to have heard a reminder, his face turned red at first, then he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he fell down slumped.
At first, some people suspected that Yushi Zhuo had found an old censor from his own censorship station to sing and play the oboe. Now they all believe that the participation in the performance of Nan'an Marquis was entirely based on Li Yushi's own selfish considerations.
Li Yushi was carried out by the palace guards at that time. He didn't know how he was doing, but his future was definitely over.
Yushi Zhuo is at court to ask His Majesty to investigate Yushi Li for slandering important ministers, having bad personal ethics, and inquiring into secrets and important cases!
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "Then let this case be handed over to the Yushitai for trial."
"Yes! I will enforce the law impartially and stop this bad habit of slander!"
When someone from Yushitai dared to go against his will, Yushi Zhuo's immediate reaction was: bite him to death!
Mu Anzhi said that with Zhuo Yushi's astute response, it is no wonder that he was appointed as the Zuodu Yushi before he reached the age of forty.
After the early court, Emperor Mu Xuan stayed with the Marquis of Nan'an for dinner.
The Marquis of Nan'an apologized again.
Emperor Mu Xuan personally helped Marquis Nan'an stand up and comforted him with gentle words, "Uncle, there is no need to blame yourself, let alone suffer. What does A Yuan's matter have to do with you? It is nothing more than the noise of these villains with ulterior motives."
"Instead of hearing all this in the imperial capital, uncle, please return to Nanyi as soon as possible." Emperor Mu Xuan said casually.
The Marquis of Nan'an's eyes were filled with tears. When everyone in the court was suspicious of the Marquis of Nan'an's mansion, His Majesty asked him to return to Nanyi to lead troops. What kind of trust is this!
"I am ashamed of Your Majesty for this humiliation of our family." The Marquis of Nan'an couldn't help but choked with sobs.
Emperor Mu Xuan saw that his hair had grown white in just a few days, and gently held Nan'an Hou's arm, "Uncle." This shout made Nan'an Hou burst into tears.
The monarch and his ministers had been in love for many years, and Emperor Mu Xuan directly asked the Marquis of Nan'an to return to Nanyi, which was both trustworthy and considerate.
After Mu An learned about this for a while, he said to himself that his majesty and the Marquis of Nan'an are well-deserved.
Huan Li had to ask Mu Anzhi for another day of leave.
In fact, the next day was for rest, but now that the yamen was busy with errands, Mu Anzhi left early and came back late every day. He didn't take a break for a month.
"The old Marquis is about to go to Nanyi, and I guess there will be a lot of things to tell you. It doesn't matter, one day is not enough, you can rest for two more days."
"One day is enough." Since being interrogated with Hu Yuan Huan Ran in the same court, Huan Li has become calmer and at the same time, his actions have become more meticulous.
Princess Xin'an has gone to Jingxin'an to repair herself. Huan Li has been living in the Marquis Mansion these days and gets along well with Marquis Nan'an.
Huan Li didn't take the censor's matter to heart this morning.
There are hundreds of thousands of Nanyi troops, and the Marquis of Nan'an has been in charge of the Nan'an army for many years. As long as Your Majesty still trusts the Marquis of Nan'an, he cannot implicate the Marquis of Nan'an for Hu Yuan's crime.
What's more, with my grandfather's sophistication, it was impossible to leave any clues related to Hu Yuan's case.
The next day, the Marquis of Nan'an got up early, accompanied by Huan Li on horseback. The grandfather and grandson got up early, and the tips of the branches and grass were stained with wet mist. In the morning, the doors of the shops that deal with morning customers were gradually moved.
Put aside the tables and chairs, and the smoke of the human world slowly begins to evaporate.
The sound of horse hoofbeats was clear, and the grandfather and grandson were silent all the way out of Yongning Gate and walked eastward along the official road. After walking for about half an hour, they came to an apricot forest.
I heard that the Yan family suffered a tragic defeat. After the Yan family's father and son left, they did not build a tomb alone or erect a monument. After the burial, this apricot garden grew above it.
Apricots are ripe in summer, and now the fruits are hanging from the branches.
Mr. Yi was carrying a basket of incense and yellow paper. Marquis Nan'an took it and ordered Mr. Yi and his attendants to step back.
Nan'an Hou squatted on the edge of the field, gently brushing away the weeds and fallen leaves on the ground with his hands, then took out the incense candles and placed them neatly.
Huan Li silently lit the yellow paper and threw it into the copper basin.
Accompanied by the light of the fire, plumes of green smoke rose.
Huan Li thought his grandfather would say something, but he said nothing.
Indeed, the entire Yan family was wiped out, leaving only Yan Lin. Compared to the tragedy of the Yan family, nothing can be said.
The breeze brings a hint of sandalwood fragrance.
Huan Li turned around and saw a man in green standing under the almond tree in the distance. His eyes were like autumn water, with a slight coolness.
It's Zhuo Yushi.
Zhuo Yushi just watched from a distance and saw the Hu family's ancestors and grandsons getting up and walking towards the year before. He had a unique grace, with his wide sleeves swaying as he walked, like a peerless sword wrapped in a scholar's robe.
"I have met the Marquis." Zhuo Yushi cupped his fists and saluted.
Marquis Nan'an returned the courtesy, "Master Zhuo, there is no need to be too polite."
"I'll take a break today. I'll take a look. I didn't want to meet the Marquis by such a coincidence."
"I'm ashamed. It's too late to say anything now. In the future, I'm afraid I'll have to go underground to make amends."
"The Yan family's case has nothing to do with the Marquis, and the Marquis does not need to feel guilty." Zhuo Yushilian's voice was considerate and considerate, "These matters have nothing to do with the eldest young master and his juniors."
"The old case of the Yan family has nothing to do with Yan Jue." Nan'an Hou sighed.
Zhuo Yushi reached into the crown of the tree, picked a big red apricot, opened his mouth, took a bite, and said casually, "I always feel that there is karma in the world."
"I often think that even if Hu Yuan was a little fair to his first wife and legitimate son, the princess would not have brought the matter to the clan's residence. Huan Ran had a little bit of brotherly affection for his brother, and could not bear to monopolize the hidden money, even if he was with
If the eldest son mentioned the matter of concealing the money, the eldest son would follow his conscience and tell him that he should not take the money." Zhuo Yushi said calmly, "But, none of them."
"The Yan family was really wronged, but from the moment Hu Yuan raised his knife against the Yan family, his love for his concubines exceeded his bottom line as a human being."
"Without him doting on his concubines and destroying his legitimate sons, there would be no injustice to the Yan family, and there would be no such thing as his wife being separated and his reputation being ruined."
Zhuo Yushi ate the apricots in several mouthfuls and threw away the apricot kernels. "He will not miss a drop of the blood and tears shed by the Yan family back then."
"The money he took away must be returned in full. His beloved flesh and blood will forever be reduced to low status."
"The difference from the Yan family is that the Yan family has countless people who feel sorry for them and plead their grievances for them. But he will never have this possibility!"
The Hu family's ancestors and grandsons left. Zhuo Yushi looked at Nan'an Hou's slightly stooped back, stretched out his hand and pulled down a big red apricot from the tree, opened his mouth and bit into half of it.
The fragrance of apricots and the sweet and soft pulp juice entered the mouth, Zhuo Yushi slightly raised the corners of his lips:
I will destroy everything he loves, reputation, power, wealth, women, flesh and blood.
You must be lucky that up to now, I am still willing to be a human being.
When they returned to the mansion, Marquis Nan'an said to Huan Li, "From now on, you must be very, very careful with Zhuoran."
