Chapter 204 Return safely
Some things are as difficult as going to heaven for ordinary people.
But for a family like Uncle Zhenyuan, who has a title on the surface and a sacred heart behind the scenes, it doesn't matter at all.
The reason for the low-key investigation was just because they were afraid that someone would hide the incriminating evidence after discovering the involvement of the Chang family. Only by looking quietly can we see it more clearly.
Butler Chen worked very quickly and quickly found a lot of evidence. He personally took Luo Guan's souvenir to find the second girl of the Luo family and explained everything, thus obtaining the evidence that the second girl Luo had hidden.
With the two pieces of evidence in hand, Butler Chen went straight to another place and found evidence that Guan's eldest son was plundering land in the jurisdiction, killing people and other evil deeds. He hurried back to Gan Da and sent the evidence directly to the hands of Zhenyuan Bo Chang Maozhi.
Chang Maozhi has also found out a lot of things.
For example, who was the person who passed the Jinshi examination that year?
The name recorded on it was obviously the second son of the Guan family. This, and the name revealed after Butler Chen arrived at the jurisdiction of Guan's eldest son, proved that the person who passed the Jinshi examination that year was clearly the second son of the Guan family. As for Guan's eldest son, he was clearly an imposter.
Impersonating a court official is already a capital offense, but there is one more thing that Chang Maozhi hasn't figured out yet.
"Brother Yan, do you think the second son of the Guan family was killed by this family when he returned? But this tiger poison doesn't even eat his own children. How could his biological father, mother and brother do such a poisonous thing? What if the Guan family The death of the second son was an accident, so why should they be so harsh and cruel to their youngest daughter-in-law? Isn’t that little girl the only bloodline of the Guan family’s youngest son?”
Chang Maozhi felt that there might be something unknown to them.
Chen Yan ignored his words, "Brother, this matter is not the point. The point is how they got this external job."
Calculating time, the second son of the Guan family died shortly after returning to his hometown from Beijing. Although there are different opinions, he died of illness, was killed by bandits, or fell down the mountain. But the big difference in time is those few days.
But can a person who is a Jinshi immediately get the official position of a county magistrate?
Don't think too beautifully.
The people who operate this must also be investigated.
"Didn't you find it?"
Chen Yan shook his head simply, "I'm afraid my people will be exposed, so I don't dare to stay too long. So I still have to wait for my eldest brother."
"It doesn't matter, your second brother is going back to Beijing."
Chen Yan's eyes burst with joy, "Second brother is coming back?"
"Yes, this trip is to escort the grain and fodder to ensure that it can be delivered to the border. Now that the war there is about to end, it is natural to come back first. Don't leave this time. You have trained capable subordinates over the years, right? Just stay in the capital from now on, Uncle Chen is getting older..."
"I see."
After the brothers finished talking about the matter, Chang Maozhi quietly entered the palace with a pile of evidence and told the emperor everything.
The death of the second son of the Guan family was a small matter, and the rumor spread about the Luo family's daughter was even more of a small matter.
At least in the eyes of those in power, these are all ants.
But if it involves Jinshi or even officials being impersonated, and it also involves various things such as buying and selling officials, it would be a big deal.
Wait for Chang Maozhi to tell the story from beginning to end, state the pros and cons in between, and present the evidence.
The Holy Lord turned over the evidence and became furious.
"The thieves are not dead, and they dare to do things that have been banned since Emperor Taizu..."
"Your Majesty, in Weichen's opinion, it is a good thing for this matter to be exposed."
"How do you say that?"
Chang Maozhi knelt down for a few steps and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, those who dare to do such things must not be ordinary officials. Even if there are ordinary officials, there is still a bigger backer behind them. This is obvious It's a chain of interests, definitely not this one..."
The Holy Emperor's eyes narrowed, "What Ai Qing said is very reasonable. Let's make this matter bigger and let the people know about it. Ai Qing, I will leave this matter to your brothers."
"Is he the second younger brother of Weichen?" Hearing this, Chang Maozhi raised his head in surprise.
"Well, it only takes a day or two to arrive in Beijing!"
"Great!"
"Aiqing's family is full of loyalists. Oh, by the way, does this incident have anything to do with Long Baoer?"
Chang Maozhi lowered his head and chuckled, "It is a clear warning from the Holy One. This time it was Wei Chen's mother who wanted to take Long Bao'er to see how the construction of Long Bao'er's small fiefdom was going. They asked for hot water on the way. It just happened to happen.”
"Sure enough, I said that this matter is probably related to that little girl Long Bao'er. Long Bao'er is really the lucky star of the Yujin Dynasty."
Long Baoer was having fun with her brothers and sisters, and she even got her new friend Chao Chao to play with her.
Chaochao has been timid and shy since he was a child, but now he has become more lively under the guidance of other children. He even eats more because he runs and jumps every day. Luo Guan and his wife finally show some smiles.
A few days later, good news came one after another.
First, the second girl of the Luo family and her fiancé were sent back, or sent to the place where the Luo family currently lives.
It seemed that the two of them had been treated on the way back, and had taken a bath and changed into new clothes. However, the torture they had suffered before had made them much thinner than before, and their clothes seemed empty and bulky.
When the two parties met, they hugged each other and cried.
But in the end, it was a near miss and he returned safely.
Luo Erya was still asking who saved them. Luo Guan and his wife knew everything and told the unmarried couple everything.
"So that's it. Dad, can my eldest sister and brother-in-law be cleared of their injustice?"
"Yes! It must be possible!"
