In Ning Huitang, Gu Hongzhang said that the Lin family was a civil servant with no real power, and many things were not convenient for him to investigate. If you can trust the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion will investigate everything and send it directly to the Lin Mansion. The Lin family has the final say on how to deal with it. I just want to do my best for my beloved daughter who passed away early.
When Gu Hongzhang said this, Lin Yanqing and Lin Siyuan naturally refused. They became even more angry towards the Liu family, and felt even more guilty and grateful to the General's Mansion.
After leaving the General's Mansion and getting on the carriage back home, Lin Yanqing was still sighing.
"If it weren't for the Lin family's evil deeds that corrupted the family tradition! Why would your father-in-law be so sentimental even though he has white hair? His daughter died for the sake of the Lin family's heirs. Now he still has to endure all the mistakes of my Lin family. He is really unworthy of his in-laws. …”
With such mixed anger, Lin Yanqing returned to the Lin Mansion and ordered Mrs. Liu to hand over the power of the housekeeper. No one in Xiyuan was allowed in or out except Lin Siran and his son.
No matter how much Mr. Liu complained about injustice, Lin Yanqing remained unmoved.
It was not until two days later that Shen Yunda's case was settled, Shen Yunda was dismissed and exiled, and all his property was confiscated.
In the list of official buyers provided by Shen Yunda, there were as many as 20 official buyers, and Liu Jingren, Liu's brother, was also on the list.
Seeing the news sent by Bai Yiran, Lin Jinyan, who was sitting in the study, looked cold.
After the incident involving Liu Jingren in his previous life, he was removed from the list as a guarantee. Now thinking about what the second wife and the Liu family did in his previous life, who else could protect him besides Chu Chengyao?
In this life, the General's Mansion already knew the money of the Liu family's greedy mother-in-law's shop, and she wanted to see who could still protect Liu Jingren!
At night, in an inn in the south of the city, two men ordered wine and food and chatted loudly in the room with the door and windows open.
A middle-aged man with a sad face who lived next door was already anxious and irritable. He was even more upset when he heard the noise of the two men. When he was about to open the door to argue, he suddenly heard what the two men were talking about. He stopped and put his ear to his ear. On the door, the door was opened a small crack in order to hear clearly.
"Do you think the Liu Shilang family is finished?"
"The main culprit, a high-ranking official, had his house confiscated and was exiled. How can the Liu family escape?"
"Isn't the Liu family's in-law a high official?"
"I have a cousin-in-law who works in the house of a high official. I heard from her that the daughter of the Liu family has embezzled money. A lot of money in the high official's house is being investigated. How can the high official protect the Liu family? The money to buy an official position is all stolen from the families of high officials."
"Really or not? Does the daughter of the Liu family recognize her?"
"Of course Liu Shilang's daughter didn't admit it. She said she was raped by the big shopkeeper. I heard that the big shopkeeper took the money and ran away. Without proof, the big official was so angry that he reported it to the official. The big shopkeeper will take him back, and he will not care whether he lives or lives."
"Is the big shopkeeper really greedy? That big official is so generous, he must have been greedy for a lot of money, right?"
"Anyway, he took the money and ran away. If it wasn't him, it would be him. He said that more than 200,000 yuan was found out and was taken away by the big shopkeeper. If you are greedy for so much money, you will die if you are caught. It depends on how you die."
"That's a lot of money. Let's go and take a look at the portrait of the big shopkeeper when it comes out. Maybe if we encounter one, we can earn a reward by sending it to the government."
"Come on, he has made so much money, and now everyone is waiting to find him. Even if he leaves the city, the bandits outside the city will be waiting for him. It's not our turn."
