Then, based on what Zhu Heyu said, the second lady exchanged Madam Hou's baby girl with the daughter of a scholar again?

"Master Zhu...has any grudge against the Suiping Hou Mansion or the second lady?" he asked doubtfully.

The reason why he was confused was because he thought it was not difficult to do.

Wen Po said that the second master of the Hou Mansion was born as a concubine; although the second wife was a noble lady, her father was a junior official and the family was still poor, so she was not of high status.

In this case, just hand over the file to Dali Temple directly. The second lady was the one who was punished. Although the Suiping Hou Mansion will be discussed because of this matter, they helped Suiping Hou get justice, didn't they?

"Master Zhu is the uncle of Suiping Marquis Zhao Yuanxun, and Mrs. Suiping Marquis is his biological sister." Zhang Shun smiled bitterly and drank all the wine in the wine cup, "But the second lady's father is now gone.

He is no longer a minor official. Today, fourteen years later, he has been promoted to the third rank and is currently the Minister of Taichang Temple."

A peanut on Shi Maodian's chopsticks fell to the table with a thud, rolled along the table for a while, and fell to the ground.

Shi Maodian put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhang Shun, silent for a long time.

Did he know that the third-rank official in the imperial court was called "big official" because there were very few officials of this rank, and each one had extremely heavy authority. Such a person would not be very favored by the emperor.

It means that there is a big force behind you. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to climb from the fourth level to the third level or the third level.

Lin'an Bo and Suiping Hou wanted to use the control of their elders to court a third-rank official, and they simply pushed Zhang Shun into the fire bed.

"We can't handle this matter," he said seriously.

Zhang Shun smiled bitterly again and shook his head: "He threatened me with the Caoyin incident, and he didn't know where he got the evidence."

Shi Maodian's mouth opened wide. After a while, he closed his mouth and swallowed his dry throat.

"So, we have no choice?" His voice was hoarse.

Zhang Shun nodded.

Gusu is a prosperous place. The temptation to be an official here is very great. Everyone is well aware of some corruption. When no one impeaches, everything is easy to say. But once someone impeaches someone, someone deliberately makes things difficult and provokes criticism from the censor.

There are heads falling to the ground.

"I will send the files up in a moment. You have to keep an eye on the stable woman and don't let her make any mistakes." Zhang Shun ordered.

Shi Maodian agreed.

At this point, he could only say comforting words to his boss: "This is just a normal procedure for us. After all, the case involves nobles from the capital, and we can't try it here. Even if the Wei family wants to touch you, it will not be done openly.

If you can't move, the most you can do is to do some tricks in your official position. But Lin'an is a member of the official department, and if the Wei family wants to move you, they have to go through them, which provides a layer of protection. In short, things won't be that bad.

"

It is better than offending Uncle Lin'an, being impeached for corruption, and losing one's life.

…

Before leaving, Zhu Heyu told Zhao Yuanxun to walk slower on the road for the sake of his health. However, Zhao Yuanxun completed the three- or four-day journey from Suzhou to the capital in two days.

After entering the city, he did not go home, but went to a house somewhere in the capital.

He asked someone to rent it here before leaving.

Zhu Heyu's younger brother Zhu Hehuai estimated the time and had been waiting in the house for the past two days. When he saw Zhao Yuanxun coming back, he hurriedly greeted him: "Brother-in-law, you are back? How is the situation?"

Zhao Yuanxun was helped out of the carriage by his servants, his face was pale and tired.

"It's going pretty well," he said, "Where's your sister's side?"

Zhu Hehuai stepped forward to support Zhao Yuanxun, with an excited look on his face: "When my sister said she wanted to interrogate Li Mu's family, I thought nothing would come out of the interrogation. Unexpectedly, I gained a lot."

A smile appeared on Zhao Yuanxun's pale face, and he suddenly became more energetic: "That's good, that's good."

The two entered the room, exchanged information with each other, and discussed it in detail.

If the Wei family just exchanged the children of the two families and let Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu's children live in her name and enjoy the rich food and clothing of the Hou Mansion, Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu would not kill the Wei family even if they were angry.

, the most is to let the old lady punish her, and then drive her to a temple to spend the rest of her life.

But the Wei family coveted the title, so they changed their children and deliberately threw their daughter to a strange village woman. After finally finding out that she had carried the wrong child, she wanted to use Xu Xue to mix things up. After Xu Xi returned home, she wanted to discuss it again.

Grind this kid.

Thinking of how she killed Xu Xi, and then looking at Zhao Jingli who was carefully brought up by them, and thinking about the pain of driving this child away, Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu's hatred for the Wei family went deep into their bones. So this matter, but

We can't just let it go. They want Ms. Wei to go to jail and pay the due price for her crimes.

If you want to punish the Wei family, you can't do it without overthrowing the Wei family's father Wei Qiu. Otherwise, not only will the Wei family not be punished, but in order to protect the reputation of the Wei family, Wei Qiu may in turn harm the old lady and Zhao Yuanxun's family, and lose the title.

Really taken away.

But if Wei Qiu can climb to the third rank, he naturally has a backer. His backer is the fourth prince born from Concubine Jin. How easy is it to overthrow him? So Zhao Yuanxun discussed it with Zhu Heyu and Zhu Hehuai before they discussed it again.

A series of actions were decided.

"I'll freshen up and go to the Duke Wei's mansion right away." Zhao Yuanxun said.

"It's still early, brother-in-law, please rest for a while before going." Zhu Hehuai advised.

"No need." Zhao Yuanxun waved his hand, entered the bathroom, hurriedly washed his hair and bathed, changed his clothes, and then went to Duke Wei's Mansion with the confession signed and sealed by Li Mu's family.

The reason why Xungui's family is feared by ordinary people like Wei Qiu and Zhang Shun who were born in Jinshi is because of their connections.

Although the Suiping Marquis Mansion is in decline, with no one making progress and no real power, the centipede is still alive and there are still a few in-laws who hold real power.

This Wei Guogong was the son of old lady Tang's aunt. Zhao Yuanxun had to call him his cousin. Although the relationship between the two parties was not close, they were not far apart, and they still had to move around during the holidays.

The reason why Zhao Yuanxun wanted to go to Duke Wei's mansion was because Wu Huaisi, the brother-in-law of Duke Wei, was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Wu Huaisi was promoted by the Crown Prince, Master Cen. And Master Cen was the father of the imperial concubine.

The grandfather of the prince and the fifth prince.

At first, Wei Qiu wanted to be promoted to the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he fought hard for this position. At that time, his rival suddenly exposed a scandal for no reason and was impeached by the censor. This was done by Wei instructing Li Mu

.This competitor was a member of Taifu Cen. Later, Taifu Cen intervened, and Wei Qiu failed to be appointed as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so he was appointed Minister of Taichang Temple.

Wei Qiu had already offended Taifu Cen when he seized power, not to mention the factional struggle among the princes.
