Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Jinyan took Bai Zhi and Hong Jiu back to the house, and Du Xing took the three members of the Han family to settle down.
The three members of the Han family looked at the spotless room, the brand new bedding and clothes, and asked Du Xing to learn that they were all ordered by Lin Jinyan. The three members of the Han family were inexplicably moved.
"Our Han family may not be able to repay the debt we owe you in our lifetime."
After Lin Jinyan returned home, she knew that the matter could not be hidden, so she took the initiative to go to Songmao Hall to mention Han Qingru to Lin Yanqing and the old lady, but concealed the fact that she hired Han Qingru and Bai Zhi to treat Han's mother.
"Yan'er saw that the brother and sister were really pitiful. His mother was seriously ill and was being cheated by a shady shop, so she couldn't help but help. Yan'er didn't know about the shop Hong Anbo owned, so she was afraid it would cause big trouble for the family."
Lin Yanqing: "Yan'er has done a good job. If you only focus on the pros and cons and ignore etiquette and benevolence when things happen, wouldn't there be too many grievances in the world that are difficult to redress?"
The old lady asked: "Where are those brothers and sisters now? Don't let anyone harm them."
Lin Jinyan: "Yan'er was also worried about this. He was afraid that he would harm their lives if he stood up, so he temporarily settled the three of them in the house where my mother was married. Yan'er thought that the house used to be the general's mansion, and those people should not dare to Act rashly.”
The old lady nodded: "That's great. You did the right thing."
Lin Yanqing also praised Lin Jinyan for her thoroughness and told her not to worry, as he would keep an eye on the matter.
Hong Anbo was not very capable, but he was greedy for money and lust, but he was a good hand. His ancestors had made great achievements and got the title. As the eldest son, he naturally inherited the title.
Knowing that Taifu Lin and General Dingbei knew about the pawn shop, Hong Anbo, fearing that he would be implicated, hurriedly sent someone to tell Jingzhao Prefect Chen Qingshan: The Earl's Palace had no knowledge of the pawn shop before, and it must be dealt with sternly after it is found out.
Chen Qingshan, the eunuch of Jingzhao Prefecture, was worried about offending people on both sides of the matter. Hearing Hong Anbo's words, if he was granted amnesty, he would immediately open a trial.
The people in the pawn shop didn't know that they had been abandoned by Hong Anbo, and they were still denying him in every possible way. When Chen Qingshan saw his quibbles, he immediately called a group of people to wait in the hall.
When Lin Jinyan was summoned, Lin Jinyan was at the General's Mansion.
Gu Hongzhang asked someone to bring a message to Chen Qingshan: Do you need me to appear in court in person?
When Chen Qingshan heard this, he was so frightened that he did not even dare to speak. Without Lin Jinyan, he did not send anyone to call for the case and directly opened a trial.
In court, Han Qingru's brother and sister told the truth about the matter. The boys at the pawn shop denied it flatly, saying that Han Qingru had taken the dead money but had to use the live money to redeem the painting. They and Han Qingru couldn't figure it out. Moved hands and feet.
Both sides insisted on their own opinions. Chen Qingshan asked the Han family's neighbor woman what she heard. The woman panicked when she heard that the pawn shop was a count's shop. Now she saw the threatening looks of several boys and thugs, and she was even more frightened. To be honest, I don’t know.
When Li Shunzhi and several other officials were hesitating whether to say anything, the official came to report that it was Young Master Gu who had come with Lin Jinyan.
After the two were invited to the hall, Li Shunzhi immediately told everything he saw and heard that day without hesitation.
The boy at the head of the pawn shop was quick-witted and sharp-tongued. He immediately said that Li Shunzhi and the woman must have paid for the perjury. After he went out, he must inform Hong Anbo so that the people who harmed them would have a hard time.
Seeing that Lin Jinyan was young, the woman didn't take it seriously. She was immediately frightened by the boy and changed her confession, saying that Lin Jinyan gave her money to testify.
