Chapter 594: Case
The marriage between the Meng family and the Prince Guo’s Mansion could also affect the old concubine Xue. Su Yiqing had never thought about it, but after Lian Yufeng reminded her, she realized that it was not so easy to withdraw from the marriage.
If you want to retreat, in order not to harm the interests of the Meng family and the Ding Prince's Mansion, you must push all the mistakes to the woman's family. It is best to make a big fuss about the case of Prince Guo's involvement in the assassination and completely push the Prince Guo's Mansion without leaving any room. If you want to leave some room, there is no reason to overthrow the imperial marriage.
It is said that it is not easy to retreat, but it is actually for her. She does not want to add any harm to the Prince Guo’s Mansion, but it should be indifferent to Lian Yufeng. Now this problem has been thrown to her.
She hoped that the old concubine Xue would not die in a good life until she was old, but she had promised Mrs. Meng that if Meng Guang changed her mind, she would help them this time.
Even Yufeng saw that Su Yiqing didn't speak for a long time and did not urge him, so he sat quietly by the side waiting. Looking at the chessboard she placed in her spare time, he casually said: "Your chess game is actually good, but it's too gentle. If you just retreat and don't know how to attack, you won't be able to defend for long.
Su Yiqing was upset and had no intention to answer. Now she was not in the mood to discuss the chess game.
Seeing this, Lian Yufeng sighed softly: "I don't understand. You always feel that your current situation is not good. If you don't plan for yourself, why should you care about other people's affairs?"
"This is not a nosy business. I am Meng Xiaofu. Some things should be done by children." Su Yiqing could not object to even Yufeng's behavior of ignoring others' lives and death. This is his way of survival. The environment is harsh and he has no choice but to have any compassion. She could understand, but she didn't want to do this.
"If the Meng family still married the lady of the Guo County Prince's Mansion, would the influence of so many Guo County Prince's Mansions be smaller?" Su Yiqing asked this softly after a while.
"Yes, Mengye had a lot of military attacks before, but now it's like this. If he insists on the engagement without complaints, the royal family will not punish the Prince Guo's Mansion too severely." Lian Yufeng analyzed to Su Yiqing one by one, and then said, "I will deal with it, there will be no problem."
Upon hearing this, Su Yiqing couldn't help looking at Lian Yufeng with some suspicion and said, "Did I misunderstand it? Why do I think what you mean is that if the Meng family doesn't make this marriage, you won't help?"
Even Yufeng smiled, "People's hearts are unpredictable. If the Meng family and the Prince Guo's Mansion are not married, then the Prince Guo's Mansion will definitely be resentful. Even if I help them, they will not be grateful. Therefore, I will not do such a thankless thing, so I will not let the people of the Prince Guo's Mansion breathe, and they may bite me back."
Well, Su Yiqing has nothing to say, this person is really planning every step of the way.
Even Yufeng asked Su Yiqing to think about it carefully. There is no best in both worlds in the world, so there is no need to worry about this matter. It is not too late to decide in two days.
After Lian Yufeng left, Su Yiqing thought for a long time, and finally decided to let the flow and see how the Meng family decided. If the Meng family really didn't want to marry the Prince Guo's Mansion and forced them to agree, the Prince Guo's Mansion would only barely keep the last bit of decency, but it is likely to achieve a bad fate. I don't know what kind of misfortune will happen.
His fortune has been bad recently, and Su Yiqing only feels that bad news comes one after another, or rather, there is no good news in such a chaotic world.
The matter at the Prince of Guo County’s Mansion has not yet been concluded, and Lu Teng told her about something bad.
It is said that General Shao’s wife and his two children have returned home safely.
Du Juan's safe return home should be good news for Su Yiqing. After all, Du Juan escaped with her help, and now her safety is of course Su Yiqing is happy to see her.
The reason why it is bad news is because of the news that General Shao's wife and his two children disappeared a while ago was that they were persecuted by General Shao's brother, Mr. Shao and his wife.
The news that Mr. Shao and his wife persecuted General Shao’s wife had been circulating in the public for a long time, but there has been no evidence to investigate. No one can be seen in life or death, and the government has no choice.
After all, the Shao family is not an ordinary family. Old Master Shao is alive, and it is difficult for the honest officials to make up for family affairs. Even if it is a human life, it is best to have the Shao family's clan handle such matters properly.
So this matter has been dragging on, and probably all parties are waiting and watching.
But now it is different. General Shao has made great contributions when he comes back. It is said that General Shao’s wife was persecuted by Mr. Shao and his wife. Fortunately, she escaped under the cover of her loyal servants and hid and waited until General Shao comes back.
In this way, Mr. Shao and his wife's crimes were made true. Taking advantage of the soldiers' expeditions, they persecuted their families, and they were a serious crime in that dynasty.
General Shao was not convenient for this matter, but a dignified man could not watch his wife and children being solved. He did not speak out due to brotherly love, so he handed over the matter to the government for handling. What is the crime? At most, the government will be charged.
Outsiders don’t know, but Su Yiqing knew that this matter was not as simple as rumors outside. Uncle Shao and his wife may be obsessed with interests, but they are not able to force Du Juan to escape. Du Juan’s escape is planned. The danger she encountered was not something that could be given by a coward like Uncle Shao. It was just that something might happen in the middle, so she needed her help.
But now, the charges fell on Mr. Shao.
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who harm brothers, sisters and nephews will be sentenced to death. If the government handles the law, Mr. Shao and his wife will not be able to escape death.
I won't kill Boren, and Boren died because of me. This incident made Su Yiqing feel very uncomfortable.
She didn't know Mr. Shao, and didn't know if Mr. Shao deserved it, but the fact is that Mr. Shao was about to bear a charge that he shouldn't have borne, and the consequences were extremely serious.
After Su Yiqing was a little depressed, she suddenly realized that Lu Teng specifically told her about this. Did Lian Yufeng instruct her? Is Lian Yufeng aware of the last time she helped Du Juan? But then she thought about it, it doesn't matter.
It is obvious that Du Juan can insist that it was Mr. Shao and his wife who persecuted her, which is obviously a bit inappropriate.
At least Du Juan is no longer the woman she is just grateful for.
Of course, this is also her own wishful thinking. She could survive such a big change and get better and better, she was not an ordinary woman. She thought Du Juan was a person worthy of sympathy. In addition, she was not a purely kind intention to help Du Juan. Some people were also afraid that Du Juan would fall into the hands of others and would say something that should not be said, which would implicate her.
In any case, Su Yiqing still wanted to pay attention to this matter, so let Green Teng continue to inquire.
This case was handled by Yancheng Prefecture. The Yancheng Prefecture Order Zhu Ying was not a simple person. After several indirect dealings, this person was not so easily fooled.
At this time, in Yancheng Prefecture, Zhu Ying was indeed as troubled as Su Yiqing thought.
The Shao family's case was naturally transferred to his hands. It is logical that there is almost nothing to worry about. Now that General Shao has made great contributions, he naturally has whatever he says. Since General Shao said that his wife said that he was framed by Uncle Shao, he also found some evidence, one was the general who made great contributions, and the other was an idle person without an official position.
Who can't tell who is right or wrong?
However, Zhu Ying combined some evidence to see that the persecution was actually far-fetched, and many places said it was disobedient. The so-called maids and mothers who testified listed some evidence that Mr. Shao and his wife bullied their younger siblings and nephews were just trivial matters. What often happens between sisters-in-law in the mansion is not very serious.
With such trivial matters, it is too far-fetched to do things that Mr. Shao and his wife are trying to murder their younger siblings and nephews.
Uncle Shao is a little greedy, but he is not completely brainless. He murdered General Shao's wife and his nephew. Even if he can take advantage of it for a while, General Shao will always come back. If General Shao comes back and the matter is broken, wouldn't he be bad? And even if General Shao is not prosecuted due to brotherhood or no evidence, it is difficult to investigate, but Mr. Shao cannot move all the wealth, and when General Shao comes back, he will have to return it in full.
This move is really unwise. Although he had suspected Mr. Shao before, the evidence at that time was not complete, and now there are many mistakes and omissions.
I wanted to ask General Shao about the process of his wife, but General Shao said that the wife was frightened and should not be seen by outsiders, so he did not ask him to ask.
Zhu Ying once again felt that such a case was really cowardly. If he couldn't find it clearly, he might be unjustly accused of innocent people. If he found out clearly, he would not handle the privacy of the powerful and the people.
It’s good to say that life is involved now. If General Shao’s wife said, he would be sentenced to the law. Uncle Shao and his wife would be sentenced to beheading. However, there are obvious doubts in this case. We should continue to investigate and find out something else. For example, General Shao’s wife was lying, so we would have to be sentenced to General Shao as a crime of false accusation.
Now General Shao has just returned from making great contributions. Not to mention doubting his wife, even if the evidence is conclusive, he, a small Yancheng Prefecture, could not help him deal with it. It was a family misfortune.
Zhu Ying had a headache.
The master has been with Zhu Ying for many years. Knowing his elders' character, he advised: "Sir, let's handle this case like that. Mr. Shao and his wife do have acts of oppressing their younger siblings. Shao Li was killed on the battlefield, not a good man and a trustworthy woman, and he really can't afford to offend him. Since the evidence is conclusive, otherwise he would handle it like that."
