After hearing Yu Xuying's words, Yu Shiyue's face suddenly darkened.
Although he had expected it before speaking, he still felt troubled when he actually heard Yu Junying admit it personally.
I'm afraid of everything, but I'm just afraid that this thing is true!
There are many doubts about Yu Qian's imprisonment.
For example, why was the rich man so bold to go from Daxing County to Shuntian Prefecture and then to the imperial court? Why did King Xiang intervene in such a small criminal case? Why did this case not come to light after so long? Suddenly he was taken out at this time when Yu Qian was confined in the house...
It should be said that if we continue to pursue this matter, we will definitely be able to find out a lot of things. From a purely criminal perspective, these are enough to turn the situation into a puddle of muddy water and help Yu Qian escape the crime.
But the problem is that this case is by no means just a political struggle. As I said before, whether Yu Qian can escape smoothly this time does not depend on whether someone is framed behind the matter, but on how the Holy One views this case. .
If this case is false, then everything will be easily solved. As long as the emperor sees the truest case and restores Yu Qian's image in front of the emperor, he will be able to escape smoothly.
But now, the case is true, and it is indeed Zhu Ji's relatives who invaded the fields, then things will be difficult to handle.
At this thought, Yu Shiyue couldn't help but feel a little angry. He had known earlier that Zhu Ji was good in every way, but there was only one thing about him: he was too stupid and filial. He lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother, so as long as his mother has He basically couldn't refuse the request, but his mother was not an economical person. When Yu Xuanying was married, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was a big problem, so there was no need to worry about marrying into his family.
No, something happened now...
Yu Qian scolded Yu Qian in his mind while holding on to old memories. Seeing Yu Xuying's grievance and sobbing, Yu Shiyue couldn't help but scold him.
Yu Shiyue said with a sigh.
"You don't have to worry. This matter is neither small nor big. Your husband and Ting Yi are both officials. Your Majesty did not remove them from their official positions, but still showed mercy. Even if Even if you go to prison, you won't suffer too much."
After a few words of comfort, he continued to ask.
"I generally know the inside story of this case, but the most critical part of this case is not the invasion of farmland, but what Zhu Ji and Yu Mian did. Junying, tell Uncle Yu, At that time, did Zhu Ji use his power to bully others and put pressure on the Daxing County Magistrate?"
this……
Yu Xuying barely stopped sobbing, but shook her head and said.
"Uncle Yu, I really don't know about this. This matter is not a big deal. My husband only mentioned a few words briefly at the time and did not go into details. However, according to his temperament, he should not be able to do it."
"There is also the second brother. Although I went back to my house to ask for help from my second brother at that time, my second brother also said at that time that my father taught me many times that I should not use my power to bully the common people. Although my second brother could not defeat me, he only agreed to go to Shuntian Mansion to ask for help. When asked about the case, nothing else was done, how could it be possible that even dad was involved?"
Listening to Yu Xuanying's words, Yu Shiyue couldn't help but feel angry again and said.
"You shouldn't have asked!"
"Don't even think about it. Yu Mian is just an official. How can he be treated with courtesy in front of a third-grade official in Shuntian Mansion? It's not just for your father's sake!"
"He went to Shuntian Mansion. No matter whether he did anything or not, if word spreads, your father will not be able to escape his involvement..."
As he spoke, Yu Shiyue sighed. Thinking about it, Yu Qian refused to let Yu Mian continue to participate in the joint examination before. He originally thought that Yu Qian blocked Yu Mian's future just to clear his reputation. Now it seems that Yu Qian at least sees that My son still has some discernment.
As the son of the Minister of the Ministry of War, he has no political sensitivity at all. When he enters the officialdom, he may be played to death at any time.
Even if he doesn't have a serious official position, he can cause such a thing. If he really becomes an official, the trouble he will cause will not be the roundabout way to drag Yu Qian down now.
"Ah, then this...Uncle Yu, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have come to see my brother. You must help me and save daddy..."
Yu Shiyue's tone was a little harsh for a moment, which made Yu Xuanying panic and start crying again.
In comparison, Yu Kang was much more stable. He frowned, thought for a moment, and said.
"Uncle Yu, I feel that the top priority now is not with Zhu Ji and Yu Mian. No matter what, it is a certainty that they have intervened in this case. It may not be easy to deny it."
"However, when this incident happened, my father was not in the capital, and there was absolutely no way he knew about it. Even if he was guilty of lax discipline, he was not really involved in the case after all. The so-called ignorance is not guilty, as long as it can be proved This case has nothing to do with my father, and I believe that Your Majesty will not be too harsh on my father."
Finally I have something to listen to.
Yu Shiyue glanced at Yu Kang approvingly and said.
"Yes, the top priority now is to rescue your father first. As long as your father can escape safely, then this case will be nothing more than a land dispute. At most, the land will be compensated."
After hearing this, Yu Junying said.
"Then, how about I go home now and ask my mother-in-law to return these fields..."
Yu Shiyue suddenly felt a little relieved, because he realized that he didn't want this daughter-in-law that much anymore...
Looking at Uncle Yu's expression, Yu Xuying also realized that she had said the wrong thing and did not dare to continue.
Seeing this situation, Yu Kang on the side said helplessly.
"Sister, although these fields are nothing, the whole capital is staring at this case. If we return the fields now, wouldn't we be asking for trouble? If we admit these fields, they were robbed by force in the first place. Coming?"
Yu Xuying blinked and suddenly realized that this seemed to be the truth, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious and said.
"Then what should we do now?"
"Don't do anything!"
Yu Shiyue on the side said in a deep voice.
"Before Tingyi left, he told you not to do anything, so just wait and see what happens. If these fields were really invaded, they should be returned, but not now, but after the court comes to a conclusion. , obey the imperial court's orders."
"Also, Yu Kang?"
As he spoke, Yu Shiyue turned to Yu Kang, who said quickly.
"Uncle Yu, please speak."
So, Yu Shiyue pondered.
"You should stop running around during this period. Ting Yi will be fine. Now Zhu Ji and Yu Mian have been arrested and sent to prison. You have no official status, so it is not appropriate to set foot in the court."
Hearing this, Yu Kang nodded at first, but then he hesitated a little.
Seeing this situation, Yu Shiyue naturally knew what he was thinking, and said.
"If you are really worried, you can go check this case..."
"case?"
Yu Kang was a little confused and asked.
"Aren't the circumstances of this case already clear?"
Although the court has not yet reached a conclusion, Yu Xuying will not tell lies, so if nothing unexpected happens, the truth of this land invasion case is what it is. What else is there to investigate?
However, Yu Shiyue shook his head and said.
"There is naturally nothing to investigate about the forced purchase of land. However, since it has become such a big deal, there are many doubts that need attention."
"When your father chose Zhu Ji as his son-in-law, he valued his character. Therefore, Zhu Ji would not do this to bully others. Uncle Yu believed this. If this is the case, then some things will It’s very strange.”
As he spoke, Yu Shiyue turned to Yu Xuanying and said.
"Xuanying, since this matter started with Zhu Ji's cousin, let me ask you, has there been any trouble in your mother-in-law's family before that required Zhu Ji to solve it?"
Yu Xuying thought about it seriously, then shook her head and said.
"This has never happened before. Although my mother-in-law likes several cousins from my mother's family, that is because my father-in-law died early. My mother-in-law raised my husband by herself. My mother-in-law's family has helped a lot. Over the years, various There was a lot of movement in the family, and my cousins were not evil people, so at that time, my mother-in-law said that the other party was playing rogue, so my husband believed me."
Yu Shiyue nodded, turned to Yu Kang, and said.
"That's it. Think about it, if Zhu Ji's cousins have always been people who like to cause trouble, then Zhu Ji will never go to Daxing County Government so easily, but will be more cautious. , this is one of them.”
"In addition, according to what Junying said, Zhu Ji went to the Daxing County government office to inquire, and the result was that the case was indeed the case that the other party regretted it later. In the palace that day, according to Shuntian Prefecture Yin, he had transferred the document I have asked the magistrate of Daxing County and the results are consistent."
"This is the second doubt. If Zhu Ji was using his power to suppress others, then even if the magistrate of Daxing County let him go because of his face, why did he conceal it when asked by Shuntian Prefecture? ?”
"You know, deceiving a superior officer is not a small crime. This case, to be honest, involves dozens of acres of land. Just find a subordinate to take the blame and get it over with. Why does the magistrate of Daxing County need to hide it like this?"
After saying this, Yu Kang also noticed that something was wrong.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked.
"Uncle Yu means that there is someone behind this matter?"
The answer is yes.
You must know that these are just the doubtful points of the case itself. In addition, how the case was exposed is what is more worthy of further investigation.
However, looking at Yu Kang's shining eyes, Yu Shiyue hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said.
"I'm not sure. Looking at it now, I can only say that there are a lot of doubts about this matter. If you want to do something for your father, you can check what I just said."
It should be said that this case exuded a strange atmosphere from beginning to end.
Looking at it now, there is almost no suspense that someone is plotting against Yu Qian behind his back. However, to be able to set up such a situation with enough weight, the identity of the person behind it must not be simple. The Yu family is already in turmoil now, and it involves too much. Deep is not a good thing.
Therefore, Yu Shiyue can only give a brief reminder. If it is limited to Daxing County, it should be fine. If something can be found out and the identity of the person behind the scenes can be grasped, naturally More targeted.
When the words were almost finished, Yu Shiyue was about to stand up and leave. Seeing this situation, Mr. Dong, who had been silent until now, hesitated again and again, and finally spoke.
"Lord Ci Fu, please forgive me for being presumptuous. Since someone is framing me behind this matter, if the inside story is revealed to Your Majesty, will..."
After hearing this, Yu Shiyue sighed and cupped his hands.
"I can understand Madam's mood, but everything I just said is just speculation. All of this is based on the fact that what Junying said is true and Zhu Ji's character can be trusted. However, these The reason cannot be stated in front of His Majesty."
"It may not be impossible to throw away these things. It is Zhu Ji who is really protecting his relatives, and it may not be that the rich man is really unwilling to accept his defeat, so he went to the imperial court and put Ting Yi in jail. It was His Majesty's decree. If there is any evidence, No, if I report these speculations to Your Majesty, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to save Ting Yi, but I will actually harm him."
"I understand, thank you for your hard work."
Dong's face looked a little disappointed, but she still saluted and said.
"Kang'er, give me a gift for Mr. Jisuke..."
"Uncle Yu, please."
Yu Kang stepped forward and escorted Yu Shiyue out of the mansion.
When he was about to go out, Yu Shiyue stopped. Thinking of the way Dong looked at him when he just left, he couldn't help but feel helpless. After thinking for a moment, he still felt sorry for Kang Dao.
"Yukang, can you trust Uncle Yu?"
After hearing this, Yu Kang was slightly startled and said.
"Of course I believe it."
So, Yu Shiyue sighed and said.
"Yu Kang, in court affairs, oftentimes, what you see may not be what you believe. What happened this time was not because I wanted to be alone, but because I had already pleaded for your father before His Majesty issued the decree, but your father... In short, this matter is not as simple as you see now."
"If you want to investigate this matter, you can investigate, but remember that safety is the first priority. In addition, your father is not here, and you are the backbone of the house. Therefore, you must persuade your mother to stay before your father is gone. Before going to prison, no matter what news you get or what changes happen, you must not act rashly."
"I still say what I said. Things in the court are changing rapidly. Before everything is settled, follow your father's words and don't act rashly."
These words were quite meaningful. Yu Kang frowned and thought for a moment, vaguely feeling that Yu Shiyue's words had another meaning.
However, he had never been involved in the court after all, so after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't understand. However, looking at Yu Shiyue's cautious look, he could only nod.
"Thank you, Uncle Yu, for warning me. I understand."
Yu Shiyue nodded, but didn't say anything more. He just turned around and got on the sedan chair and left Yu Mansion.
At this moment, it was still early, but the sky had already darkened. There were huge dark clouds in the sky, which attracted passers-by to rush home. However, although the dark clouds continued to billow, no raindrops fell. On the contrary, it was extremely hot and muggy. It’s upsetting…
