The Fang family acted swiftly, expelling Fang Yuan from the family tree almost on the same day as the next court meeting, and announced that they were severing ties with Ni Zien.
Fengtian Mansion took the next step and captured Fang Yuan directly outside the gate of Fang Mansion and threw him into prison.
Next, it only needs to be reviewed three times. Once it is confirmed to be correct, it can be executed in the autumn.
"You are already in prison, you can't grow wings and fly out." Zheng Ruqian teased while holding a white lamb, "In my opinion, the eldest brother and the little sister are just too afraid of the Fang family, and they are scared to death."
"Yes, yes." Wang Xiaosong agreed from the side, pursuing his employer unconditionally.
But soon, he received a look from his sister, Xiaozhu, and a beautiful figure carrying a medicine box.
Wen Zhiyun is now doing odd jobs in Tai Hospital. To avoid suspicion, he has almost all his food and accommodation in the imperial city. Wen's Medical Clinic is almost handed over to Wang Xiaozhu, who has a shallow knowledge of medical science. He is too busy to do anything.
Even if his brother came back after being away from home for half a year, Wang Xiaozhu would only give him two bottles of golden sore medicine and rub his shoulders and neck.
"What did I say wrong?" Wang Xiaosong pursed his lips aggrievedly, suddenly remembering his obedient and obedient sister when he was young.
Jiang Si covered his mouth and snickered beside him, "It's a good mistake. We'll find out when the third brother comes back."
Yes, everything will be clear when Jiang San comes back.
However, it wasn't until it got dark that there was a knock on the door of the small courtyard.
The people who were waiting jumped up and came over nervously.
Where the lights flickered, the person who came was limping, as if he had been seriously injured.
Jiang Sheng covered his mouth in horror and muttered in a low voice, "Did someone stop Jiang San and beat him up? Or maybe he failed to follow him and was also beaten up?"
The limping person paused slightly, quickly stood up straight and rushed into the light, where he saw a gray-faced Jiang San.
"I said, girl, just hope that I can do something better. Why are they all failures and getting beaten up?" He yelled with a grimace, "Can't I have a good result?"
"You mean, you followed me successfully?" Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up, "Say it quickly."
Not only her, but everyone in the entire courtyard listened carefully.
Jiang San didn't show off, and cleared his throat and said, "I followed all the way to the suburban yard and crawled in the dirty grass for a long time. Finally, I saw the carriage starting off. It was the Fang family who was returning. The people in the carriage were also He is indeed the young master of the Fang family...I got this whole body from being rubbed in the suburbs, my legs are numb from squatting, not from being beaten..."
Xu Mo couldn't hear what was said after that.
His mind was filled with Fang Yuan's condescending, indifferent eyes, and Jiang Sheng's almost sharp intuitive speculation.
No one can face death calmly.
The more arrogant and noble a person is, the more afraid they are of losing.
The look in Fang Yuan's eyes was too unusual. Even if he was frustrated or lost, he should never be indifferent.
He seemed to be despising death, or perhaps despising Xu Mo.
But it is true that he was expelled, it is true that he was thrown into prison, and it is even more true that he will be executed after his death.
Unless he risked the crime of deceiving the emperor and robbed him of the law, or died directly as a substitute, Fang Yuan had no chance of survival.
Taking a step back, the identity of "Fang Yuan" is dead, so what if he is still alive?
So what?
"Brother, what are you worried about? You were mumbling to yourself." Jiang Sheng came over at some point with a big pancake in his arms, "Just tell us if you have anything."
"It's just the eldest brother. The three, four and five are not here, so you and I are the only ones left." Zheng Ruqian grinned, smiling but feeling bored at the same time.
There are six brothers and sisters in total, three of whom are not at home.
When the night is tossing and turning, sadness is inevitable.
Xu Mo came to his senses and did not hide anything, "I suspect that the Fang family wants to use special means to protect Xiangyuan, but I have no evidence, and it is even difficult to detect."
He is only a sixth-grade official and does not even have the right to visit Fengtian Mansion.
No matter how doubtful he was, he could only sigh secretly.
"This..." Jiang Sheng was suddenly speechless and simply took a bite of the pancake, "I can't give you any opinion on this."
"I don't quite understand." The little lamb in Zheng Ruqian's arms suddenly defecated, and he stuffed it into Wang Xiaosong's arms like a hot potato, "But I have other suggestions."
"We can write to Xiao Wu (Fifth Brother)." He and Jiang Sheng said in unison, smiling at each other.
What a precise and excellent suggestion.
Xu Mo laughed and shook his head, got up and went into the study to pick up a pen.
Jiang Sheng and Zheng Ruqian followed closely behind, competing to tear apart the delicious big pancake.
Wang Xiaosong was left standing there at a loss, holding on to the balls of sheep shit rolling down his body.
It is said that there is a specialization in the arts, and the matters in the court have to be analyzed at a long banquet. The letter he received from Xu Mo did not even have a long explanation, only three big characters: Wang Yuyao.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Wang Yuyao, a girl from the Wang family, came all the way from Anshui County to Fengjing. She not only persecuted Wang Fufeng, but also took away the correspondence between the two, just to increase Xu Mo's "criminal evidence" of cheating in the imperial examination.
What she did was the same as when she forced Fang Heng away in Anshui County, just to surrender to Fang Yuan and become Mrs. Fang.
Now Fang Yuan has been removed from the Fang family and will soon be dead.
From Wang Yuyao's point of view, if she failed in her attempt, she would either be replaced by other members of the Fang family, or return to Anshui County in despair, where at least there would still be the Wang family and the Sun family to protect her.
On the contrary, it means that Fang Yuan is different.
"It's because I care about her that I become confused and forget about Wang Yuyao." Xu Mo clasped his palms with a cold light in his eyes, "Now we not only have to intercept her from writing a letter back to Anshui County, but we also have to track her movements."
"I'll go." Jiang San took the initiative, "Don't worry, young master, leave this matter to me."
"No, I'll go." Jiang Si bent down and handed over his hands, "Third brother just suffered last time, it's my turn this time."
Xu Mo's two remaining brothers spat out three words, "Take turns."
In the next few days, Jiang San and Jiang Si squatted outside Fang Mansion, checking and intercepting letters sent to Anshui County.
Wang Yuyao was unexpectedly quiet. She neither got in touch with the other children of the Fang family, nor packed her bags to go home, nor even wrote half a letter to the Sun family.
She basked in the sun every day, occasionally embroidering two flowers, or helping Mrs. Fang organize some business matters, just like the widow of Fan Yuan.
Mrs. Fang's second wife was equally miserable and didn't even care much about the affairs of the back house. She instead knocked on sutras in the Buddhist hall, seeming to be pursuing peace of mind.
Even Fang Huairen began to cultivate several concubines and intended to adopt them under the name of the principal wife.
The entire Fang family was immersed in loss, but there was an unknown weirdness about it.
Xu Mo pondered for a long time before finding out the problem - "Whether it's sad or not, action is the best expression of sincerity."
For example, Wang Yuyao, a woman with strong ambitions, could not remain a widow for Fangyuan and become a widow without a family.
For example, Fang Huairen really thought that he would want to cultivate a new heir after losing his legitimate son.
"If I'm not mistaken, Fang Yuan's back-up plan only told Mrs. Fang and Wang Yuyao." Xu Mo said quietly, "He even hid it from the head of the Fang family."
