With Lu Shuangshuang's confession, Li Si quickly got the person in Xiejia Village.
To be precise, the other party was a relative of a villager in Xiejiazhuang, the kind who had turned several corners.
Just before Liu Ruolan and the others came home from Xiejiazhuang, they said they came to visit relatives because their family was in trouble.
A couple came, and now only the wife is left, while the man left the day before yesterday.
The day before yesterday?
Xie Rongzhao thought that the day before yesterday was the day Lu Shuangshuang put things in her room, so he got the news from Lu Shuangshuang that it was done, and then he rushed back to ask for credit from his master?
It's too early!
There seems to be no use in leaving only one woman here now.
After careful questioning, I found out that this woman was a slave who was bought by a man for two taels of silver and pretended to be husband and wife with him.
Therefore, it is hard to say whether that man is a relative of this family.
How cunning!
"We've done everything we can, and now it's up to dad. Don't worry, mom, after receiving our letter, dad will naturally be on guard and won't let those bad guys succeed."
Liu Ruolan could only nod.
At this point, all I can do is pray to God for more protection.
Lu Shuangshuang has been sent back to Fucheng by Mr. Xie, and he also brought a handwritten letter, and asked Mr. Xie to send him back in person. He must tell the Lu family what Lu Shuangshuang did, so that they can Know the reasons for things.
Xie Rongzhao thought that there was another Xie Ronglan in the county. When Xie Laosan sent Lu Shuangshuang back, he first went to Chen's house, and then asked Xie Ronglan if he had ever accepted gifts from others.
Xie Ronglan was not stupid. She quickly understood what he meant and quickly said she didn't dare.
Xie Laosan didn't believe her, so he told Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen that if anyone dared to wander outside under the banner of Mr. Xie, they would have to eat their Xie's meal.
"My brother-in-law, it's not that my third brother speaks out. It's actually that my second brother is in officialdom and has a lot of control. Besides, my second brother has always done practical things, no matter what he sends back to our students in Gaoyang County. Books, as well as those good articles in the capital; or if he punishes corrupt officials, it is all for the good of our people.
My second brother is the glory and support of my Xie family. If anyone dares to ruin the reputation of my second brother, then naturally I, Xie Xiuwu, am not a vegetarian. Even if I risk my life, I can’t. Let someone harm my second brother! "
Master Chen understood what this meant and quickly expressed his position: "Don't worry, Third Master, we are not people who don't understand anything. Mr. Xie is a good official and has done a lot of practical things for the people of Gaoyang County. If we really do it If I feel sorry for Mr. Xie, wouldn’t that mean repaying a favor with a grudge?”
Mrs. Chen also reacted at this moment: "That's right. My second son was admitted as a scholar, thanks to those books and articles sent back by Mr. Xie. He is a great benefactor to our family. We know how to repay the kindness. Seriously, how dare you be a white-eyed wolf!"
What Xie Laosan wanted was their words.
With this attitude, it is enough for Xie Ronglan to know what position he should take in the Chen family.
"So, the third child would like to thank his in-laws, brothers and sister-in-law. It's getting late, so Xie will take his leave."
A few days later, someone came from Yunzhou again.
This time it was Master Wu, and Douzi came back with him.
"Young man, please give my regards to the madam, and please give my regards to the young lady."
"Get up quickly, how is the master now? Is your health okay? Is everything going smoothly?"
Douzi smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, everything is fine with me. This is the letter I asked you to bring to you and the young lady. In addition, I asked you to go and say hello to me, and there are also letters to bring to me and the third master." of."
"Okay, the third master hasn't come back yet. Please wait a moment. The master is probably still taking a nap. You have worked hard all the way, have you had a meal?"
"No." Douzi scratched his head and said, "We set off early in the morning. Mainly because my horse riding ability is not as good as Master Wu's, and I was worried about being delayed on the road, so I didn't have lunch."
"Hurry up, Chen Xia, go tell the kitchen and quickly prepare meals for them."
"Yes, ma'am."
Douzi, Master Wu and others were arranged to have dinner, and the mother and daughter happened to read the letter first.
After reading this letter, Liu Ruolan didn't recover for a long time.
Xie Rongzhao was also frightened and his heart was beating loudly.
This is too scary!
It turns out that among so many things, only the jade pendant is the trump card.
That jade pendant was actually Prince Ping's personal property, and with this jade pendant, one could withdraw money from several money shops within Yunzhou territory, with the maximum limit being fifty thousand taels.
Not only that, with this jade pendant, you can also arbitrarily withdraw materials and money from all the properties of King Ping, and even mobilize some of the private soldiers arranged by King Ping here. This is a symbol of status and power.
If this thing was found in Xie's house, Xie Xiuwen wouldn't be able to explain it even if he was covered in tears.
When the time comes, the governor of Yunzhou insists that everything was done by Xie Xiuwen, and if relevant evidence is found, how can he be able to get away with it?
Let's not talk about whether the jade pendant really has such great energy. Just saying that it appeared in the Xie family with Prince Ping's token was enough to make the Holy Emperor suspicious of him.
I have to say, this trick is very poisonous!
When Xie Xiuwen took over this case, he already knew that King Ping would end badly.
After all, daring to mine iron ore privately is a taboo against the emperor!
Even if he doesn't behead for the sake of his brother, he will still be demoted to a commoner at the very least.
At that time, all the glory bloodline is gone, what else can we rely on?
Xie Rongzhao sent someone to deliver this item to Xie Xiuwen, which did him a big favor.
He was worried about how to lure those private soldiers out.
Now that there is such a thing, you might as well give it a try.
Of course, before doing this, Xie Xiuwen had written the matter in detail in the memorial, and then sent people to rush to the capital.
At the same time, he told Xu Zhao about the jade pendant. Since the two of them were working together on the case, they had to discuss it.
Xie Xiuwen is not stupid. He has hundreds of imperial guards with him. These are the Holy Lord's confidants. Even if he dares to deceive the Holy Lord, these people are not blind.
Besides, Master Wu brought so many things back, so there was no need to cover them up.
The more magnanimous and magnanimous he is, the more convincing he is of his innocence.
Xie Xiuwen also knew that emperors were suspicious. From history books, it is easy to see that no matter how wise an emperor was, he would rarely be suspicious of his ministers.
Since you have made up your mind to be a royalist from the beginning, you must honestly confess everything. Only in this way can you gain the trust of the Holy Emperor.
From the beginning, Xie Xiuwen was not a pedantic person who only knew how to study. This was probably the fundamental reason why Xu Shanchang was able to choose him at a glance.
