Chapter 412 Xu Junlou
"Are you Mr. Xu's nephew?"
Thinking of the time ago, Xu Changqing opened the back door for a nephew by himself, Li Chen asked.
The young man looked moved and nodded, "I'm going down to Xu Jun Tower."
"Take me in and meet Lord Xu's family."
Li Chen's unreasonable request made Xu Junlou frown.
At this time, if most ordinary friends avoid it, Li Chen is very arrogant and can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. Not only did he not leave, he also asked to see his family.
This is a bit unreasonable and even more unreasonable.
But for some reason, Xu Junlou always felt that he shouldn't refuse.
"please."
With a raised hand, Xu Junlou invited Li Chen and Sanbao into the inner hall.
In the inner hall, three women were wiping their tears.
Sanbao quietly approached Li Chen's ear and said, "These three are Xu Changqing's wives and concubines. The one in purple clothes in the middle is the main wife. The other two are concubines from the side. Xu Changqing has no children, so he took care of this nephew named Xu Junlou as his son."
Li Chen nodded to show that he understood.
Xu Junlou walked to the purple-clothed woman's ear and said a few words. Then she got up and came to Li Chen to salute. Although her eyes were red and swollen and her expression was sad, she still insisted on saying, "This young man, you will laugh."
Waving his hand, Li Chen said, "I already knew these things before I came. I heard that the Ministry of Justice found the stolen money and evidence on the spot in your home, but is it true?"
The woman in purple gritted her teeth and said, "What's true? They rushed to the door with official documents from the Ministry of Justice, and did not give anyone an explanation. They took our women and children to the side, and beat and scolded each other at any time. Then they resisted several boxes and carried them out intactly. They said that they had found evidence of the crime. Once the boxes were opened, they were all white silver."
"Even if the gods kill, there is no such way to frame them. When they come in with boxes themselves, they can immediately say that they are found guilty from my house. Is there any king's law in the world? My master worked diligently all his life and dared not say that he has made great contributions, but hard work is always the case. Those people from the Ministry of Justice bully good people like this!"
Li Chen raised his eyebrows, and he looked at Sanbao and asked lightly: "What has always been like when the Ministry of Justice handles a case?"
Sanbao grinned and said, "It's just a common occurrence. People in the world say that the Dongchang handles cases with bloody and arrogant people. But compared with those of the Ministry of Justice, the Dongchang has enforced the law impartially. The people who handle the Dongchang are not unfair, but nine out of ten are true. What about the Ministry of Justice? They dare not provoke them, but they are much dirty than the Dongchang when they do this."
Li Chen looked at the woman in purple again with a expressionless face and asked, "I see that the decorations in your home are mostly ordinary people. No matter how honest Lord Xu is, he always has a salary. Why is this so? Is it suspected of deliberately making a show?"
After asking, the Xu family suddenly changed color.
The woman in purple suddenly spoke with a sharp voice: "Young Master, I am a woman. I don't know who you are, but no matter who you are, is it appropriate to speak without any evidence?"
"My master has been an official for decades, but nothing is left, and there is only one reputation left. He can do a show for one year or two, and can do a show for more than ten or twenty years. Is that still called a show?"
