Wang Shouren returned to the capital, but Shen Rui did not go to the meeting, just because Wang Shouren and Yang Tinghe sent someone to send a letter early, asking him to stay in the door and not leave during this period.

By avoiding suspicion in this way, Shen Rui knew that it was time for the final trial of the Japanese case.

As early as the second day of the Chinese New Year, Shen Rui had asked Changshou to secretly send He Yong and his confessions, as well as other evidence obtained from Du Laoba, to the Dali Temple Yamen.

Du Laoba really won every bet. As he expected, after Liu Feng was thrown back to the He family, his body soon appeared in the Huanyuan. After that, the He family sent seven or eight corpses one after another.

Du Laoba secretly asked someone to see him, all of whom were the He family's capable managers, guards, and thugs.

It is impossible to keep the body as evidence. Since the He family sent someone, they would stare at the body turning into ashes before leaving.

However, Du Laoba could find at least three certificates in the field of cultivation, and even patted his chest to make a note, and he would send the confession with the three certificates and signed and sealed. Shen Rui was naturally relieved.

As for Wang Shouren's news, two young pawns under Ning Wang arrested, one of whom had contacted He Xiang, the manager of He Nansheng, when he was involved in the looting of Songjiang, while the other was surrounded by a mother and son who were related to the He family.

However, He Mian's love and illegitimate son were outside.

The He family once threatened He Mian for her and her child's lives to bear the blame for He Nansheng.

However, the woman had already committed herself to the person who kidnapped her without knowing that He Mian was dead, but she was reluctant to share her flesh and blood and still kept it with her.

The man was not afraid of having a cheap son, but he took her and her son to Taihu before he returned to Nanchang.

After the woman was captured, He Mian, who had redeemed her and offered her for several years, was finally forced to do so. When he died of a pillar in the court, he was not sad and howled twice.

After tears returned to normal, he did not need to be punished, so he obediently told all the things that He Mian had told her about He Nansheng's instructing him to frame the fifth family of the Shen family.

With these testimonies, confessions are enough. The Shen family no longer has to worry about anything and just waits for the final result.

The worst thing is that Shen Zhu and Shen Yu are broken inside.

Shen Yu was still guilty of being light, and only one person was convicted, while Shen Zhu might be implicated in the third room.

The third wife Shen Lian had already made this preparation. The youngest son in the family had been quietly sent away. He also quietly bought property in Beijing during these days and left it to support his son in the future.

He even made friends with people like Du Laoba and the prison guards at the bottom of the Ministry of Justice. It would be fine if he was unlucky. If he was sentenced to exile, he would always get some care based on his friendship.

All Shen Lian did was in Shen Rui's eyes. Although he comforted him not to be too nervous, he really couldn't promise that nothing would happen.

So Shen Rui discussed with the third master and Shen Quan, and solemnly promised in front of Shen Lian that if there was something wrong, he would definitely rescue him with all his might. In the future, whether in Songjiang or Jingli, he would take care of his youngest son.

The second and fifth houses have always been kind and righteous. Seeing that He and Xiao Nan were properly cared for, Shen Lian naturally had no worries and half of his nervousness was relieved.

The Shen family is waiting for the result, but the He family is in chaos.

It’s not that the He family knew that the Shen family had any evidence to send it.

Instead, Li Ju, the Minister of Works, came to leave the marriage with He Dongsheng's young daughter for the eldest son.

*

Li Jue, the Minister of Works, was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Chenghua. He made great achievements in water conservancy construction and wrote a letter to govern the government affairs of the court, which was highly praised by Emperor Hongzhi.

Li Li had four sons in total, and his eldest son was a concubine. His first wife left a son and three, and later married a second wife and had another legitimate son.

The Li family is also a prominent family in Tangyin County, Henan Province. There are many children in the clan who studied and became officials. Li Yu was highly valued by Emperor Hongzhi and was extremely authoritative in the construction of the Ministry of Works. His future is promising. Li Yu's legitimate brother Li Jun is even a member of the official position. The third-rank Suzhou Admiral’s School and Government.

Li Yanqing, the eldest son of Li Yu, passed the New Year only to 19 years old. He was extremely intelligent since childhood. He passed the juren in the autumn examination in the 17th year of Hongzhi, but his mentor intended to give him a good ranking, so he did not let him go in the spring examination, otherwise now He is also a Jinshi.

Such a young talent should have no worries about marriage, but he has two concubines, both of whom have entered the imperial examination and become officials.

One is a Jinshi, and now he is a sixth-rank magistrate in Shu, and the other is a Juren, who has donated his official position and becomes a magistrate in the lower county of Zhili, Northern Zhili.

There is a half-brother and a stepmother with a biological son. How could he care about the eldest son who was born to him, the pioneer wife, who was fighting for family property with his son?

All families with similar families know that their family background is that their daughters have to serve their stepmother-in-law when they get married, but they are not easy to marry their sisters-in-law. Isn’t they suffering from living? How can they marry?

If he looked for it in a low place, Li Yanqing was the eldest son of the minister and his status was different. His second wife refused to take the reputation of treating the eldest son of the previous one, and Li Li refused to let his son marry casually.

After a while, it became a problem.

However, in the same year, Li Li built a bridge for him and He Dongsheng.

He Dongsheng has four daughters, the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the three daughters are both legitimate and are married. Although the youngest daughter is a illegitimate daughter, she has a difficult childbirth after giving birth. She was taken away by Mrs. He, and is also recorded in her legitimate mother. Under his name, he was raised like a legitimate daughter.

This girl is in the fifth place, and her boudoir is named Xia Jie'er. Her appearance is as bright as the morning glow. She also studied and read the same as her legitimate daughter. She was a very comprehensive girl.

But although he is like a legitimate daughter, he is a concubine and cannot hide this matter from others.

With such a woman, how could the He family be willing to settle for this woman? She has been delayed for a long time and has not been optimistic about the marriage.

When Li Yanqing passed the imperial examination in the same year, both sides were moved. When Li Yanqing passed the imperial examination, He Dongsheng was optimistic about Li Yanqing's future, Li Wu's career and the Li family's relatives' website, and happily agreed to the marriage.

In April last year, after Miss He Wu and the hairpin, both parties changed their Geng letter and formally signed up for marriage.

It was originally planned to get married in the autumn of the first year, and both families still walked according to the etiquette of their in-laws during the New Year. Unexpectedly, just after the New Year, the Li family came to withdraw from the marriage.

Li Li’s reason is that his son is seriously ill.

It was said that Li Yanqing had a cold in the winter last year, but he didn't expect it to be worse and worse. He could hardly get up after the twelfth lunar month.

The Li family was afraid that his son would have a good life, which would drag down the reputation of the He family's eldest lady. The reputation of a husband was not a joke. The two families would not marry but make enemies.

Therefore, Li Jue proposed to withdraw from the marriage. The man was sick and had a good reputation with the woman.

He came to the door in person and gave the He family enough face, only took away the Geng letter, and the rest of the process was handled by official media from both sides.

He Dongsheng was shocked when he heard this. Although the eldest son of the Li family did not come to the mansion to pay his future father-in-law during the Laba Festival, and someone from the Li family also said that the eldest son of Li was sick, he never expected that he would be so ill. Heavy.

It seems that his wife has arranged for someone to visit Li's house, but He Dongsheng never cared about the matter of the inner house and did not care about it. His wife did not seem to say that Master Li was terminally ill.

He Dongsheng couldn't help but observe Li Li quietly. He saw that he was indeed a little tired, but he didn't look very worried.

However, this man had a beautiful wife who had been married and a smart young son. Both concubines were also good at it. Although he had a regret for a son of a juren, he really didn't necessarily act like a loss of his parents.

He Dongsheng couldn't help but "understand" a little.

But I was still hesitant. Without it, this was He Dongsheng's last unmarried daughter.

If he had more daughters, even if there were one more, he would continue the marriage without hesitation. He would even marry his daughter to the wedding. Even if he had to let his daughter go, he would be a widow. It would be good to be able to hold the Li family's in-laws.

of.

What's more, he's just a concubine.

Unfortunately, he was left with only one girl in the house, and a very good-looking and well-educated daughter. He said that he might not be able to find the legitimate son of the Minister's Mansion, but he was not able to find the other family.

For example, the first wife of the legitimate son and the illegitimate son of the nobleman, or the second wife of a person in power, are all good choices.

He Dongsheng was originally ambiguous, thinking about first finding out how sick Li Yanqing was before making a decision.

But Li Li was very determined. Duan Fang Junzi's stubbornness made He Dongsheng unable to resist at all, so he finally had to let go and promise to return the Geng Tie.

Geng Tie was held in the hands of Mrs. He. She frowned when she heard that she was going to leave the bride. He Dongsheng didn't know Li Yanqing's condition. She went to check on the disease and knew it. She looked so depressed.

Spirit, but before the next life, how could it change so much in just ten days?

Although Xiao Wu was not the flesh that fell off her body, she was just pulling her little by little, and her feelings were very deep.

After the Chinese New Year, I was a 16-year-old girl. If I dragged on it, it would be over. I left the kiss and went to find such a third-rank high-ranking official. This is still the legitimate son of the minister and the legitimate son!

"Master is confused, why should I be so anxious? It seems that our family is too cold and thin! If spring is warm and my son-in-law is ready, will our family regret it?" Mrs. He couldn't help but marry with the dowry.

The nanny complained and sent someone to the front to ask the master to think twice.

"Just say we are not traitors. In the past two days, I went to Li's house to see my son-in-law and chatted with my in-laws." Mrs. He ordered.

The servant passed the message forward, and He Dongsheng felt a little embarrassed, but Li Fu said that he did not dare to work for his wife. The dog son was very ill, so don't give him the wife.

Seeing that he insisted on replying to Geng Tie, He Dongsheng was quite unhappy. As if the He family begged the Li family, he ordered someone to take it and secretly told people to tell his wife not to be troubled.

Although Mrs. He was angry, she had to listen. She just took the Geng letter and asked someone to send it. Unexpectedly, Miss He Wu, Sister Xia, came over after receiving the letter.

The gentle and gentle girl, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, entered the door and knelt in front of Mrs. He, grabbed her dark hair and expressed her thoughts with tears: "The nanny often teaches her daughter, okay

The daughter is not serving her second husband, and now she is determined to marry her, her daughter is from the Li family. The master and wife are going to leave the marriage today. The daughter cannot talk about the other side, so she can only use her hair to become a sister-in-law."

Mrs. He was so angry that she trembled all over, and cursed her, "Where did the long tongue woman come from? She grabbed her and clenched her tongue and sold her. Why don't she be optimistic about the girl!"

At the same time, he scolded Xia Jie'er and said, "My parents' orders are the matchmaker's words. Where can a girl say that she is a marriage? You are still a lady from a noble family!"

The old lady in Mrs. He's room hurriedly stopped Sister Xia, trying to take off the scissors from her, but she was a stubborn person and refused to let go no matter what. She was almost ripping a ball of hair.

The maids and the whole room were filled with tears of shock and the snatching was even more fierce.

Sister Xia clenched her hands tightly, and she made red marks with her hands. She bit her lips without saying a word. Tears of beans rolled down, and her white little face was extremely distressing.

The servant holding the Geng Tie didn't know whether he should have sent it there, so he stayed in place stupidly until he couldn't wait in front of him and sent someone to urge him. He woke up like a dream and asked Mrs. He to show his advice.

Down.

Mrs. He had long been tempted to eat people raw, and scolded someone and asked someone to send a letter to the Geng Tie, and asked someone to tie up the girl with a ribbon.

Xia Jie'er is a weak girl, and she has never been able to earn many healthy women. When she saw the person who sent the Geng Tie left, she whined and wanted to throw out the scissors and let the man come back, but the scissors were snatched before they could take off their hands.

Go, she was pressed too.

Although Mrs. He was calling for tying people, she knew that even though the fifth girl was born in vain, she was very kind to her wife. No one really dared to tie her up. Seeing that she had no scissors, she gave her strength instead.

When Sister Xia saw the figure who gave the Geng Tie disappeared behind the screen wall, she felt sad and despair in her heart, and she fell to the ground and burst into tears.

While they were still watching each other, Li Yanqing visited and came to pay homage to Mrs. He, she had secretly seen him behind the screen.

That was the legitimate son of the Minister's family. He was clear and handsome, calm and restrained, full of books, and was as good as her brothers.
