Chapter seven hundred and eighteenth divorce
Although the Xiao family is the prince's grandfather's family, the prince does not have much contact with the Xiao family.
The old Duke was worried that Xiao’s family would be disgusted with his life experience in front of the prince and not let the prince get close to the Xiao family.
The old lady was stained with the blood of her sister-in-law. She was worried that her brother would not speak with a firm mouth, so she even held the Xiao family not to let her go to Beijing and never took the prince when she returned to her parents' home.
The prince had never been close to the Xiao family before. Now he knew that the Xiao family had killed his biological mother for glory and wealth, so he wanted to peel the Xiao family and get cramps to vent his hatred.
But the old Duke is a person who values love and righteousness. When he was able to make connections with Mrs. Xian, it was thanks to his brothers with the Xiao family. In the early years, the brothers of the Xiao family helped the old Duke a lot. When Mrs. Xian was expelled from the family, it was also thanks to their secret assistance.
The old Duke never forgot this kind of kindness.
When enjoying wealth and prosperity, the Xiao family did not allow their subordinates to benefit from it. Now that the Xiao family is in trouble, the Xiao family will suffer. This is unreasonable.
The old Duke wanted to spare the innocent tribes of the Xiao family, but he did not dare to discuss with the prince. After all, the father and son have been incompatible for many years. The old Duke was really afraid that the prince would argue with him, especially the revenge of killing his mother, which was irreconcilable.
The old Duke only revealed some verbal words with the Minister of Justice. The Minister of Justice sentenced the old master of the Xiao family, the eldest master and others to death with the conclusive evidence. He had not sentenced the others yet, but he did not dare to help the old Duke plead with the prince.
It’s something that both parents and sons are not easy to discuss, so why should he be an outsider interfere?
There is no dispute about the sentence of the old lady and the old master of the Xiao family in this case, but the scope of the remaining people will be large. If you blame the tribe and the clan members, you can also open the Internet, which depends on the mood of the superiors.
Moreover, the case happened more than 30 years ago. At that time, the old country was just following Emperor Taizu to conquer the country. The Xiao family's move can be said to have helped the previous dynasty fight against the court. He was put on the hat of killing the nine clans, and the Xiao family couldn't bear it.
In short, the fate of the Xiao family is all within the prince's thoughts.
Jin'er looked at Jiang Wan and said, "The prince won't be soft-hearted and bypass the Xiao family, right?"
Jiang Wan didn't say anything.
She really doesn't know whether the prince will be soft-hearted. After all, the prince is willing to be willing to be unsure of his son's whereabouts and wants to protect King Shunyang. It is also for Qi Moyuan to marry him, to attack him, and to cheat his son to death.
No one can guess what the prince would do.
But what is certain is that even if the prince is soft-hearted, it will not harm the Xiao family. But can the Xiao family be cruel to kill people who are in charge of glory and wealth, and will they be ruthless to outsiders?
The Xiao family was in Quanzhou with one hand covering the sky, and I don’t know how many enemies it had set up. In the past, they were afraid that the Xiao family would dare not speak out. Now that something happened to the Xiao family and without the Jing'an Palace as their backer, how can they not take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the blame?
You can imagine how miserable the Xiao family will be in the future.
Um.
As Jiang Wan guessed, the Xiao family is so miserable now.
As soon as the old lady killed her sister was exposed, someone rushed to send the news back to Quanzhou. At that time, the Xiao family was in a bad mood.
After all, the matter was concealed strictly, and most of the people in the Xiao family were kept in the dark. This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for them, and they were scorching the outside and the inside.
The impact this incident has brought to the Xiao family is really great.
Everyone is afraid of death, and the servants of the Xiao family are no exception.
The imperial court's order to confiscate the house has not been sent yet.
but!
This is a matter of time sooner or later!
If you don’t run away at this time, you will have no chance if you are too late!
Look, before the people from the court arrived, the Xiao family was in chaos first.
The one who runs away, the one who runs away, they are not running away with their hands. They can take whatever they can take away. Money is secondary, and the most important thing is to sell your body contract.
In order to sell the contract, the servants of the Xiao family who were not in harmony with each other had a rope and forced the Xiao family to give them a way out in the relationship they served in the past and return the contract to them.
The Xiao family disagreed, and then the situation got out of control.
Quanzhou Prefecture was originally in vain with the Xiao family, but now I heard the news that in order to show the prince that they were also deceived by the Xiao family, and that the strong dragon could not defeat the local snake... No, compared with the Xiao family, the Prefecture has no power or power at all, and the Xiao family says whatever the Xiao family says.
In order to show loyalty to the prince, the Quanzhou prefect learned that the Xiao family was in turmoil and immediately sent someone to surround the three outer and three layers of the Xiao family.
Not to mention the head of the Xiao family, the servants of the Xiao family can't escape.
Besides, Jiang Wan, as soon as she left Bai Jingxuan, a little maid ran over there and said, "The Prince's Concubine, the Minister of Justice, has come to the mansion."
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Jin'er said curiously, "What is the Minister of Justice doing in the mansion?"
There is no case in the royal palace to be investigated.
The maid shook her head, "I don't know yet. The prince is in the military camp and the old duke is not in the mansion. Manager Zhao asked the servants to invite the prince's prince and the prince's concubine to greet the Minister of Justice."
If Manager Zhao hadn't called the princess, the maid wouldn't know who should have called the Minister of Justice.
After the maid reported it, she went to invite Qi Moyuan.
Jiang Wan waited at the gate of the yard, and within a short while, Qi Moyuan came out.
The two went to welcome the Minister of Justice together. Before they arrived at the second gate, they saw Manager Zhao bringing the Minister of Justice over.
Seeing Qi Moyuan and Jiang Wan, the Minister of Justice smiled and looked like a spring breeze.
Qi Moyuan greeted the Minister of Justice and asked, "The father is not in the mansion, is the Minister of the Shangshu coming now..."
The Minister of Justice sighed, "Come for Mrs. Xiao."
Jiang Wan blinked, "Madam Xiao?"
That day, after the old lady and the second master were sent to the Ministry of Justice, Mrs. Xiao had to take her daughter out of Songling Hall. After all, her backers were all gone, but the old Duke made a safe place for Mrs. Xiao in the face of the old lady.
He sent Mrs. Xiao and her daughter to the Ministry of Justice to reunite with Mr. Xiao's family.
Mrs. Xiao is imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, and it is worth the Minister of Justice to come to the Jing'an Palace for her special trip?
The Minister of Justice nodded, "Mrs. Xiao said that she had been divorced by Master Xiao long ago, and her divorce letter was at her home in Songling Hall, the Prince of Jing'an. I came here this time to find the divorce letter."
Jiang Wan was shocked.
Mrs. Xiao was actually retired?
How is this possible?!
However, as the Minister of Justice said, Mrs. Xiao asked him to come to pick it up in person because she was afraid that the Jing'an Palace would find the divorce letter and tear it down directly?
Jiang Wan and Qi Moyuan led the Minister of Justice to Songling Hall.
After only a few days, Songling Hall was a lot more desolate and disappeared completely.
After entering the small courtyard where Mrs. Xiao and her daughter lived, she could easily find a locked brocade box from Mrs. Xiao’s package, and the divorce book was hidden in the brocade box.
Seeing the divorce letter, Jiang Wan's eyes almost popped out.
Because this divorce letter was written three years ago.
In other words, Mrs. Xiao was retired by Mr. Xiao three years ago.
If you are retired, you will naturally not be affected by the disaster of the Xiao family...
With his eyes removed from the divorce letter, Jiang Wan looked at the Minister of Justice, "With this divorce letter, can Mrs. Xiao be acquitted?"
The Minister of Justice nodded with difficulty.
As the Minister of Justice, he cannot ignore the evidence.
Jiang Wan rolled her eyes to the sky and handed the divorce letter to the Minister of Justice, saying, "Whether this divorce letter can count in the end, the Shangshu must be cautious in judging the judgment, and some precedents cannot be opened."
