The Wen family was already in chaos, and no one even cried in front of Huo's spirit. Mrs. Wen Zhong even fainted several times.

At this moment, she was grabbing the hand of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and begging hard, "Mother, you must help your daughter, husband cannot kill anyone."

How should the wife of the Minister of Revenue be persuaded?

The man dug out from the backyard of the Wen family's old house, and the coroner also found out that the four people had been dead for more than ten years. What's more important is that even the hairpin Chen Yan gave Xu Qingwan to get engaged was dug out. If it had nothing to do with Wen Zhong, even a fool would not believe it.

"Lier..."

The wife of the Minister of Revenue looked at the white hair growing overnight, and felt very distressed. She didn't agree to marry Li'er to Wen Zhong, but for nothing else. Just because Huo was so old, she still shamelessly remarried with her children. She was definitely not a shameful person. Having such a mother-in-law would only make people laugh. But the Minister of Revenue said that Huo had married, and Li'er had no sister-in-law to get involved in the marriage, nor did she oppress her mother-in-law, and she could be the leader of the family when she entered the house. More importantly, Wen Zhong was indeed capable and could succeed him as the Minister of Revenue in the future.

She was convinced and agreed to the marriage.

Wen Zhong has indeed been able to do it in the past ten years. She still admires the master's original choice. Who knows...

"The emperor has issued an order, and no one can plead for Wen Zhong, otherwise he will be punished as the same crime. Li'er, no one can help with this matter."

Mrs. Wen Zhong almost fainted from crying again.

...

Bang!

The Duke of Qi threw the teacup to the ground hard, "Idiot, what a fool!"

Even if the body was unable to be disposed of back then, after that rumor, it should have been removed. Now, the evidence is conclusive, and even if he wants to help plead, he can't do anything.

The door was pushed open, Aunt Zhang walked in and signaled her servant to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. She walked over slowly and sat next to Duke Qi. "Actually, there is no way to save Wen Zhong."

Duke Qi looked at her suddenly.

Duke Qi did not hide it from her when it was working with Wen Zhong. Aunt Zhang knew that Duke Qi was afraid that Wen Zhong would not be able to withstand the torture and would implicate him in. More importantly, Gu Yi's identity has not been fully investigated. If there is no new evidence, it will be presented to the emperor and Gu Yi's identity cannot be checked. No matter what new evidence he finds in the future, the emperor will not believe his words.

"As long as you ask your sister Wen Zhong to come forward and say that what happened back then was done by her and Huo, Wen Zhong didn't know at all, and Wen Zhong would be fine."

Duke Qi frowned, "She will not be willing to live or die."

"That's not a big temptation! Think about it, after Wen Zhong's death, even if the Wen family collapsed, Wen Zhong's sister became a rat crossing the street. How could Ang Lee protect her? If she could take on this matter for Wen Zhong, not only would Xu Ling'er's marriage be kept, but Ang Lee would also be transferred to two levels in a row. If she was a smart person, she knew how to choose."

...

The Duke of Qi did not go to Wen’s Mansion. As soon as Wen Zhong’s affairs came out, no one dared to go to Wen’s Mansion again. If he went there at this time, he would go to the Minister of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue had just returned from the morning court. Wen Zhong had committed such a big deal. The emperor fired him on him and scolded him fiercely in front of the civil and military officials of the court. The Minister of Revenue wanted to kill Wen Zhong with his own hands. He asked and asked that day, and Wen Zhong repeatedly promised him that there was no killing, but now the bodies were all dug out.

"Master, Duke Qi is here."

The Minister of Revenue did not want to see anyone, "No!"

"The Duke of Qi said that there is something important to you, it is about Gu..."

The word "女" behind him came to his mouth. Seeing his master's wish to kill someone, he hurriedly changed his words, "It's about Wen Zhong, and he said there is a way to help Wen Zhong get rid of his crime."

The Minister of Revenue narrowed his sharp eyes and thought about the intention of Duke Qi. At this moment, everyone was afraid of avoiding it. Duke Qi went forward instead, wondering if there were any plans?

After a while, the Minister of Revenue ordered, "Please invite someone to the living room."

...

Half an hour later, Duke Qi left the Minister of Revenue's Mansion. After another quarter of an hour, the Minister of Revenue also came out of the mansion and came to Wen's Mansion in a carriage.

In front of the mansion, white banners fluttered, as if indicating the ending of the mansion's master.

The Minister of Revenue took a deep breath and walked into the mansion with his foot.

The people in the mansion were panic, and the servants were even more absent-minded in their work. As soon as the Minister of Revenue entered the mansion, everyone's eyes immediately looked over, and the butler even took two steps at a time to greet him, "Sir, you are here."

"Where is the old lady?"

The housekeeper immediately turned around and followed the Minister of Revenue, "In the wife's yard, the wife has cried several times."

The Minister of Revenue went directly.

"father!"

Seeing him, Mrs. Wen Zhong cried even more uncontrollably.

The Minister of Revenue rushed back the servant in the house, "Don't cry, I have something to say to you."

Mrs. Wen stopped crying.

"Just just now, Duke Qi went to the mansion and gave me an idea. I think it's feasible. It depends on you next. If the persuasion is done, Wen Zhong has nothing to do. You don't have to be a widow, and your two children will have a bright future in the future."

The wife of the Minister of Revenue was shocked when she heard this. If this were the case, her daughter would not have been in a miserable life for the rest of her life. "Master, tell me!"

Mrs. Wen Zhong also stopped crying completely and looked at her father with red and swollen eyes.

The Minister of Revenue of the Ministry of Revenue signaled the mother and the mother to sit in front of him and whispered the idea that Duke Qi had come up with. After hearing this, the wife of the Minister of Revenue of the Ministry of Revenue looked at her daughter instantly.

Mrs. Wen's chaotic brain was sober that she was crying. She knew that this was the only way to save Wen Zhong.

"I'm afraid these two conditions are not enough..."

Mrs. Wen Zhong said as she got up, she took out a box from the cabinet at the bedside, which was filled with a box of silver notes and several store deeds, "Add to these."

The house deed was her dowry at the beginning. It was the best shop in central Beijing. She could collect tens of thousands of taels of rent every year, and the money seemed to be hundreds of thousands of yuan. The wife of the Minister of Revenue felt distressed. But she thought that as long as Wen Zhong was there, she would earn it back sooner or later, so she suppressed her heartache and urged her, "Go quickly."

"etc!"

The Minister of Revenue spoke out, "Is Ang Lee here too?"

Mrs. Wen Zhong nodded.

"With him here, things may not be possible."

Ang Lee has always been upright, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the Ministry of Works. If he knew about this, he would never agree.

"What should I do?"

The wife of the Minister of Revenue was anxious.

"Don't be impatient and wait for my news."

After saying that, the Minister of Revenue stood up, walked outside the door and ordered his entourage a few words. The entourage left quickly. Then, the Minister of Revenue ordered the housekeeper to invite someone.

Ang Lee was soon invited to salute respectfully, "I have met Lord Shangshu."
