081: Wait until Brother Cui fishes you out! (Add)
In the cold winter, Cheng Qing was sweating profusely.
Liu Si was just seeing that her situation was not right, so he called out a few times before Cheng Qing came back to his senses.
Her face was full of pain:
"Sir, I can't remember that when my father passed away, I got seriously ill, I..."
She really can't remember it.
Other memories are very clear, but this section is vague and cannot be touched.
Liu Sizheng was very disappointed. Seeing Cheng Qing like this, he couldn't ask anymore and sent her down to rest. Then, it was the three sisters Liu and Cheng Qing who were asked in turn. They didn't have to act. When they learned that Cheng Zhiyuan was poisoned before his death, their surprise and anger were naturally revealed.
It is also difficult to restore the mood of the four Liu family members.
Liu Sizheng said that if they could not recall useful clues, even if the court could justify Cheng Zhiyuan's reputation, they would not be sure who killed him.
Under this high-pressure atmosphere, Liu recalled something.
That was half a month before Cheng Zhiyuan's death. He came back from the capital city and called the two masters to the study to discuss. He didn't know what Liu had, but Cheng Zhiyuan got angry and even fell into the teacup.
Liu Si was thinking about something.
Cheng Zhiyuan took the blame because Zhang Qinzhang first took down a group of officials from Hetai Prefecture, and someone pointed out that Cheng Zhiyuan was witnessed.
When Zhang Qin sent people to Jiangning County, Cheng Zhiyuan had already committed suicide fearlessly.
The envoy Zhang Qin did not find the account book, but detained the county magistrate and lord of Jiangning County. Both of them were subordinates who assisted the county magistrate in managing local governments. Later, they both confessed to the crime of corruption and disaster.
The two masters hired by Cheng Zhiyuan also confessed. They followed Cheng Zhiyuan's instructions and made false accounts to deceive the court.
Most of the disaster-stricken banks were not used to the affected people at all, but were intercepted and misappropriated.
Cheng Zhiyuan is a hub. The Shangguan of the capital proved him. The county magistrate and lord of Jiangning County confessed him. Even the two masters Cheng Zhiyuan hired for money... What about the money? Cheng Zhiyuan was honest and had no permanent property. Where did he go for the money he greedy?
Various evidence gathered together, which gave the delegation Zhang Qin's terrible inference. Cheng Zhiyuan was just a puppet on the table. The officials involved in the Hetai Prefecture had at most drank some broth, and at least 200,000 taels of silver were unknown, but they asked the officials of the Hetai Prefecture to take the blame together!
Of course, they are not innocent. Greed is really greedy, but not so much greedy.
All kinds of evidence finally led the mastermind behind the scenes to the Ye Prince's Mansion. Zhang Qin's envoy himself could not decide, so he returned to Beijing with the evidence.
The clues provided by Liu not only failed to confirm anything, but also made Liu Sizheng confused.
The whole country is united in pushing the charges against a dead person. Can't you speak if you don't bully the dead?
If Cheng Zhiyuan was working for the Ye Palace, he became a hub for greed and disaster-stricken money, and was later silenced by the Ye Palace... The evidence was linked one by one, but the Ye Palace and Cheng Zhiyuan had no intersection at all. How did the royal palace notice a local small official who had been wasting more than ten years in his career?
In the next few days, Cheng Qing's family was placed under house arrest and was not allowed to meet, so Cheng Qing could not help but be anxious.
Can Liu and his three sisters withstand it?
Liu Sizheng repeatedly questioned the family until he could no longer find any useful news, so that Cheng Qing and his family of five could meet again.
This day is New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve.
The four of Liu family were all haggard, and only by comparison did they realize how lenient the so-called "house arrest" of Prefect Yu was.
"It's okay, we're all fine."
Cheng Qing is the best in the whole family.
But Liu was not as optimistic as he was at the beginning.
"Xiaolang, will the court really clear your father's innocence?"
Liu Si was asking questions about the daily life, and he wanted to let Liu explain the details of Cheng Zhiyuan's life during his lifetime, what clothes to wear on which day, what to eat, whether he was out, and whether someone came to visit him.
Can these things help your husband get rid of his crime and seek justice?
Liu was deeply confused.
Cheng Qing comforted her, "We must believe in the court and your Majesty."
Not only Liu, but the three sisters were also disembarrassed in a few days. The first Spring Festival of the family of five returned to Nanyi was very sloppy. The sound of firecrackers outside made Cheng Qing's family very deserted.
After New Year's Eve, Liu Sizheng never appeared again.
However, the yamen runners with swords outside the Wangbushang Courtyard still did not withdraw, indicating that the Dali Temple's investigation into Cheng Qing's family was not over.
Cheng Qing had the suspicion that his family would be locked up forever.
She didn't know what was wrong. Can she still participate in the county examination in February? Did the sick prince unilaterally break the contract and kick her off and let the Ye Prince's Mansion land on his own?
It’s so unhappy to be unable to control the direction of one’s own destiny!
Cheng Qing gritted his teeth and forced himself to review the books as usual.
It is still uncertain whether she can take the exam, but she must be prepared to refer to it as usual.
In scientific examinations, only scientific examinations are her only way out. She should not let her destiny be controlled by others. She wants to have the status of playing against others. Only by scientific examinations can she become an official, and she will go from an ordinary citizen to a gentry class!
"Cheng Qing, you can't do anything, calm down and read the book."
Cheng Qing kept brainwashing himself, and after talking too much, he gradually calmed down.
Liu cried several times, pretending to be strong in front of the children, and he handled the family's meals in different ways every day.
In the first month of the year, they were still very strict in their care. No one could be given in. I could only ask the yamen runners to buy what they were missing.
The King of Hell was so fond of seeing the little ghost. After a long time, the guards were also tired of this boring and unlucky life. They had a bad attitude towards Cheng Qing's family. Please ask them to buy things, not only should they deduct them from them, but the things they bought were very poor.
Cui Yan was wandering outside Yangliu Lane, and when he saw the yamen runners' attitude, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
He used the money to handle the yamen runners. These yamen runners refused to accept them before the New Year, but they dared to collect cash after the New Year. It was hateful that those yamen runners did not do anything and had collected all the money. They didn't have a better attitude towards Cheng Qing's family.
It seems that they are convinced that Cheng Qing and his family have no hope of turning things around, so it doesn’t matter if they fool them or bully them.
"Nan Yi Cheng didn't care?"
Today, the county government has announced the examination period. Candidates who want to participate in the county examination can provide personal payment, mutual settlement and contract documents to the county government office. These necessary procedures are completed and reference qualifications are confirmed. Only in February can they participate in the county examination.
Cheng Qing can’t leave Yangliu Lane, and he can’t even register!
If the court delayed the disaster relief silver corruption case for four or five years without conclusion, would Cheng Qing and his family be under house arrest and quarantine for four or five years?
Cui Yan could even imagine how bleak and decadent Cheng Qing would be after four or five years of house arrest.
No, he has to think of a way.
As far as he knew, the special envoy of Dali Temple had left Nanyi, and all the yamen runners guarding in Yizhuang had been removed, so Cheng Qing should have hope to leave Yangliu Lane.
It depends on whether the Prime Minister Yu is willing to be able to be able to be compatible.
Cui Yan suddenly thought of a solution.
