Jiang Yun died, drowned like Chunyue.
With the testimony of Chunyue's parents and Lin Rui, the case was quickly settled.
Jiang Shaohe and his wife were dissatisfied with the loss of their only daughter and went to Jiang's house to cause a scene. They even carried Jiang Yun's coffin to the door of Jiang's house and placed it there, attracting passers-by to point at her.
Jiang Shaohe and his wife took the opportunity to confuse right and wrong, saying that Jiang's father was ungrateful, that he had crossed the river and burned the bridge, that Jiang Shu had seduced Lin Rui improperly, and so on.
Jiang Shu knew that he couldn't explain the truth to them, so he directly asked Leng Xing to go to the Yamen to invite Mr. He.
Master He did not dare to neglect and led people to Jiang's house as quickly as possible.
"What are you making a fuss about! Gathering people in private houses and streets to cause trouble, slandering rumors and humiliating others, you will be detained for seven days according to the law and given fifteen sticks."
Master He gave a sharp shout, and the officials behind him quickly surrounded Jiang Shao and his wife who were causing trouble.
Jiang Shao and his wife were a little frightened when they saw official duties. But thinking of Jiang Yun's tragic death, she gritted her teeth and took the risk.
"Sir, you are the parent and official of the people, so you must be aware of everything and not be deceived by traitors."
Mr. He got angry because of Jiang Yun's case and suffered a serious crime, and even almost lost his official position. When he heard what Jiang Shaohe and his wife said, they couldn't help but sneer.
"Jiang Yun committed murder, killed the maid, and silenced her. The evidence is conclusive, and your son-in-law personally testified. If you are still dissatisfied, you can go to the Yamen or Dali Temple to beat drums and complain, and come to the door of the victim's house to cause trouble. You clearly know that you are in the wrong. Randomly grabbing and biting.”
"Someone, take them down!"
Master He waved his hand, and the official immediately stepped forward to arrest him.
Jiang Shaohe and his wife panicked. Seeing the onlookers looking at them with disdain, no one could help them to plead for mercy, so they had to kneel down and beg for mercy.
"My lord, please forgive me. I beg your honour. My daughter hasn't been buried yet."
"If I had known this, why bother in the first place!" Mr. He ignored it.
At this time, Leng Xing came to Master He and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Mr. He said in a cold voice: "Miss Jiang wants to plead with me for the sake of her close relatives. I will give you two days to take care of Jiang Yun's funeral. In two days, the official will come to pick up the person."
Jiang Shaohe and his wife heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this, but in the end their eyes turned red with anger.
Jiang Shu killed Jiang Yun and took away their shop, and now he is still pretending to be kind.
There was a lot of resentment in their hearts, but Jiang Shaohe and his wife did not dare to speak out, so they could only keep it secret in their hearts.
By now they have clearly seen that Jiang Shu has the support of the government behind him and they cannot fight against him.
Under the authority of Lord He and the officials, Jiang Shaohe and his wife ordered their servants to carry Jiang Yun away, and walked away in disgrace holding the coffin.
Lin Rui's family was waiting at home. When they saw them coming back, they immediately greeted them.
When the two families were discussing marriage, Jiang Shaohe and his wife only had an only daughter, Jiang Yun, and could not bear the suffering of her going to the Lin family, so they recruited Lin Rui to marry them. After the marriage, Lin Rui's parents also moved to Jiang Shaohe's house.
The two families were originally relatives, but they also had children and in-laws. Although there was some unpleasantness, they got along fairly harmoniously.
But after Lin Rui testified in court against Jiang Yun's crimes, the two families completely fell apart.
Jiang Shaohe and his wife were angry at Jiang's house. When they saw their family, they immediately became angry.
"You are a heartless person." Jiang Shaohe kicked Lin Rui hard.
Lin Rui knew he was guilty, so he swallowed his anger and said: "I was also forced. If I don't testify, they will put me in jail."
Both Jiang Yun and Jiang Yun were dead, and Chun Yue's parents testified against him. Master He and other officials heard it with their own ears. He couldn't do anything to erase Jiang Yun's crime, so he might as well tell the truth to save himself.
Furthermore, Jiang Yun killed Chun Yue and often insulted him, so she deserved her death.
Father Lin and Mother Lin didn't realize that their son was at fault, and warned in a mournful voice: "Sister, Shao He, the matter has come to an end. I am sorry and accept the change. Rui'er is also forced to have no choice. Don't worry, Rui'er will treat you as his wife from now on." Biological parents should be filial."
"He is filial to us? It's more like trying to plot our property. Don't think I don't know what you are planning." Jiang Shaohe snorted coldly, having already seen through the Lin family's thoughts.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Jiang Shaohe's family is not as big as before, it is several times better than Lin's family.
Father Lin and Mother Lin's eyes flashed, and they quibbled with guilt: "Shao He, why do you think so? Rui'er means it sincerely."
Jiang Shaohe didn't buy it: "Sincerely? If he vows not to marry for the rest of his life, I will believe him."
"This..." Father Lin and Mother Lin looked embarrassed.
Everything else is easy to say, but the Lin family’s incense cannot be cut off! Besides, Lin Rui is so young, how could he not marry?
"What? You can't do it? Then get out of here." Jiang Shaohe called his servants and drove them out.
"Sister, sister..." Mother Lin looked at Mrs. Jiang Li and cried out sadly, trying to awaken the affection between the sisters.
But Jiang Li lost her beloved daughter, and Lin Rui personally went to court to testify, making Jiang Yun guilty of murder and despised after her death. I already hate them to the core, so there is no sisterly love left.
"Throw all their things out and don't dirty my house." Mrs. Jiang Li ordered the maid through gritted teeth.
Lin Rui's family was forced out of the house, and their bedding, clothes and other belongings were thrown all over the floor.
"What can we do?" Mother Lin fell to the ground and cried anxiously, wiping her tears.
The house they lived in before had been mortgaged long ago, and now it has been evicted, leaving them with nowhere to go.
Father Lin rummaged through a pile of debris and found an old wooden box, holding it in his arms as if he had found a treasure.
Fortunately, the money he saved was not discovered and was thrown out together.
Father Lin quietly opened the wooden box and took a look to confirm that the silver inside was still there. Father Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, what's the use of crying and crying? Hurry up and pack your things and find a place to stay."
Governor Lin Ruiye said nothing at this point was useless, silently picking up items on the ground and making other plans.
Mother Lin, who was crying heartbrokenly, saw that both father and son were packing their things, so she could only accept the reality, wiped her tears and packed up together.
After driving away Lin Rui's family, Jiang's mother sat helplessly beside Jiang Yun's coffin, looking sad: "It's hot in summer, let's quickly choose a place to bury Yun'er."
If you put it down again, it will stink.
Jiang Shaohe said absently: "You can take care of this matter. I'll go out."
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Jiang Li didn't understand what was more important than burying Jiang Yun at the moment.
Jiang Shaohe frowned and said, "You sold your shop and ran away. Are you really waiting for the officials to come and arrest you?"
Mrs. Jiang Li didn't understand, but they were only detained for seven days and fifteen days, and their lives were not taken, so why run away?
But Jiang Shaohe knew that what he and Jiang Shaohua did would be exposed sooner or later, so it was better to leave Beijing quickly before they were found out.
The world is huge, so long as they run far enough and hide their names, they will be able to escape.
Mrs. Jiang Li looked confused, but Jiang Shaohe didn't explain too much. He explained a few words and left in a hurry.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and Yu Zheng is getting busier and busier day by day.
Not only did he have to go to Zhaojue Temple every now and then to discuss Buddhism and listen to Buddhist scriptures, he also had to interrogate the bandits escorted back by Zhou Boxu, and he had to copy Buddhist scriptures before going to bed every day.
On this day, the guards sent by Jiang Shu to search for clues came back and told Jiang Shu that the surrounding villagers had seen bandits.
They also found traces of cut down trees on the top of the landslide.
When Jiang Shu heard this, he immediately remembered the landslide she and Yu Zheng had encountered.
What a coincidence?
